HANGZHOU, China — South Korea's League of Legends team has breezed through its first day of competition at the Asian Games and was bolstered by a strong performance by top player Lee Sang-hyeok. Lee is better known in the online gaming world as "Faker."

Lee says "today's games went really well, just as we had anticipated."
