The South Korea national esports team represents the South Korea in international esports tournaments. It is organized under the Korea e-Sports Association.[1]

History

South Korea has been known for its significant role in esports. The country has been hosting amateur esports tournaments as early as the late 1990s. In 1999, Korea e-Sports Association (KeSPA) would be established. South Korea would host the first World Cyber Games.[2]

The KeSPA would become a semi-member of the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee (KSOC) at a undetermined date until August 2017, when it failed to meet tighter membership standards introduced in December 2015.[3]

At the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang, esports would be held as a demonstration event.[2] South Korea looked to join the event but their non-membership with the KSOC at the time became an obstacle.[4] KeSPA was able to regain semi-membership after Daejeon recognized the organization as a sporting affiliate. They were able to send a delegation to the games.[3]

Esports would become a regular event at the 2022 Asian Games which was held in Huangzhou. South Korea sent an esports delegation once again. Now that esports is an official medal event, this also meant that Korean players would get exemption from military service if they clinch a gold medal at the games.[5][6]
