 More than 1,000 teams are expected to compete in the qualification stage between September and October. 
Thailand, which is in the Asean zone, will select a team through the Live Alive Thailand Qualifier, which will take place in parallel with zonal qualifying events.  
 E Sports is expanding globally – it is being featured in the upcoming Asian Games in Indonesia as a demonstration sport but will be included as medal sport in the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou and the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
 “We realise that the lifestyle of the young generation has changed according to modern technology. As a result, we have stepped up to catch up with the trend, especially on our policy to encourage young people to live their way of lives,” said the Deputy Managing Director of Toyota Motors Thailand, Wutthikorn Suriyachantananon.
