Hanwha Life Esports and T1 will lock horns on Saturday, September 7, in the lower-bracket final in the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) 2024 Summer Playoffs. Hanwha Life won when these two clashed in the second round, and according to the LoL betting sites, the rematch should not end any differently.
Hanwha Life Esports made easy work of T1 at the end of August, beating the Korean juggernauts in three maps. T1 struggled on the day, with weird drafts and poor execution, but most notably, the players did not seem like they were on the same page.
On a more positive note, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok and co. performed much better against Dplus KIA in the last round, when it seemed like they had figured some things out.
Hanwha Life Esports lost to Gen.G in the LCK upper-bracket finals but performed surprisingly well.
Two games were close and could have ended either way, but the other two were closer to one-way traffic. While HLE could not make it over the finish line, it mostly had to do with the fact that Gen.G are simply that good.
The decision of whether or not to back T1 in this contest comes down to how much their improved showing against Dplus KIA means. While it was a solid display, T1 have been struggling more than expected for months now, so it is fair to assume T1 are not the same team from earlier in the season.
On the other side, Hanwha Life Esports are still the same counter-punching team — a style which should not work against any elite squad. Yet they performed against Gen.G on two of the four maps, and knowing how flawed T1 are, HLE could make it work again.
T1 can turn on at any point, but if we look at the bigger picture, Han “Peanut” Wang-ho and his crew have been the better team over the last two months.
