After more than a week of competition in 4 out of 11 disciplines, the Vietnamese esports team concluded their journey at ASIAD 20 with two bronze medals in the games NARAKA: Bladepoint and League of Legends.
In the remaining two categories, PUBG Mobile - the Asian Games version - ranked fourth in the continent, while Identity V - the Asian Games version - ranked 9th-10th.
