Clean Victory: T1 Defeat HLE 2–0 in LCK Summer 2025

Game 1 Picks:
- T1: Gwen, Jarvan IV, Galio, Jhin, Bard
- Hanwha Life Esports: Ambessa, Wukong, Orianna, Lucian, Rakan
Game 2 Picks:

- Hanwha Life Esports: Aatrox, Maokai, Azir, Senna, Alistar
Game 1 was total domination by T1. They did whatever they wanted across the map, with almost no resistance from Hanwha Life Esports. HLE drafted a strong teamfight comp, but never executed a single combo. Much of T1’s success came from Bard, who roamed constantly and helped every lane win. In the end, while three HLE champions chased Jhin and Bard, Gwen walked into their base, solo-killed two defenders, and destroyed the Nexus.
From the start of Game 2, T1 had lane priority thanks to their draft. The only problematic matchup was top lane, where K’Sante struggled against Aatrox. HLE’s draft was also questionable — with all lanes losing, there was no space for Peanut to impact the map. The team looked out of sync, seemingly unsure of how to play teamfights or the map.
Still, T1 gave HLE a lifeline by forcing an early Baron, which backfired. HLE won the fight and nearly erased T1’s entire lead, gaining momentum and making T1 more cautious. But one mistake from HLE’s mid laner Zeka during a Tier 3 bot lane push turned the game. T1 wiped four players and marched to end the game.
The MVP of the match was T1’s ADC, Gumayusi, who delivered a stellar performance with Jhin (4/1/7) and Sivir (12/3/7).
With this win, T1 move closer to second place in the standings, now holding a 12–7 record. Meanwhile, Hanwha Life Esports remain in second with a 14–5 record.
