Both squads have shown up across the first two rounds, but with some asterisks. BLG edged past T1, and they showed cracks against LYON, whereas Hanwha Life Esports did not completely dominate Team Secret Whales, and they weren’t properly tested against G2 Esports either.
There are some questions about Hanwha Life Esports and how high they can fly, but Bilibili Gaming have shown bigger weaknesses, namely their iffy macro.
This should be enough for Hanwha Life Esports to find openings and justify their tag as favourites.
- Bilibili Gaming rely a lot on early game
- Hanwha Life Esports have yet to be properly tested
- HLE are rightly viewed as favourites

Bilibili Gaming Have More to Prove
Bilibili Gaming have handled both T1 and LYON in the first two rounds of the Mid-Season Invitational, winning 3-2 and 3-0, respectively.
The latter clash was a 3-0 sweep, but that score does not tell the whole story, as BLG did not dominate as much as the number would suggest. The first two maps were close to 50/50, and could’ve easily ended in LYON’s favour had knight not gotten as fed.
The third map was concerning, with BLG accumulating a massive lead but nearly losing it all, with questionable decision-making in the mid-late game. That seems to be a trend with this team, as Bilibili Gaming tend to do well early, only to collapse when it matters the most.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |

| July 5 | MSI 2026 | LYON | 3-0 (W) |
| July 4 | MSI 2026 | T1 | 3-2 (W) |

Hanwha Life Esports Are On a Roll
Hanwha Life Esports are on a roll, having smoked Team Secret Whales and G2 Esports, both 3-0, so far this tournament. The latter victory was more impressive, granted it is worth noting that G2 did not play well on the day.
Hanwha Life Esports outplayed G2 as a unit and individually, securing notable leads in the laning phase, proving they field some of the top players in their respective roles.
However, their individual quality is not that much higher than BLG’s and considering HLE have realistically not been properly tested yet, it is fair to expect their upcoming match to not be another dominant showing.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 5 | MSI 2026 | G2 Esports | 3-0 (W) |
| July 3 | MSI 2026 | Team Secret Whales | 3-0 (W) |
| June 12 | LCK 2026 Road to MSI | T1 | 3-1 (W) |
| May 31 | LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 | HAJIN BRION | 2-0 (W) |
| May 27 | LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 | Gen.G | 1-2 (L) |
Hanwha Life Esports Squad & Team News
Hanwha Life Esports haven’t announced any changes.
- Choi "Zeus" Woo-je – top lane
- Seo "Kanavi" Jin-hyeok – jungle
- Kim "Zeka" Geon-woo – mid lane
- Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyung – ADC
- Yu "Delight" Hwan-jung – jungle
Verdict
Hanwha Life Esports won their first two games of MSI simply through the individual talent, outperforming Team Secret Whales and G2 Esports. The latter could’ve ended differently had G2 not had a bad day, but regardless, HLE showed up and proved once more that they have some of the top players in the world.
Bilibili Gaming’s main strength is the same. They have very strong laners, especially top and mid lane, but they tend to have issues in the mid-late game if they do not secure big leads. This is an area which Hanwha Life Esports could look to exploit.
