Hanwha Life Esports Need a Bounce-Back Win
Hanwha Life Esports entered LCK Rounds 3-4 with high expectations, but so far, they’ve yet to find any serious momentum, going 0-2 in the first week of play.
Hanwha Life Esports started the summer split with a 1-2 loss against Dplus KIA and KT Rolster, which is anything but inspiring. In both games, HLE showcased they are not invincible, especially in the late game, when they tend to make errors, mainly due to being too confident in their approach.
This has plagued them in the last split and remains a problem in LCK Rounds 3-4. While HLE are very strong in other areas, the late game volatility is a very exploitable weakness Gen.G could look to take advantage of.

Gen.G With a Slow Start
Gen.G haven’t had the best start to the summer split, with defeats against T1 (0-2) and Dplus KIA (0-2).
Both games could’ve ended the other way, but Gen.G just weren’t prepared, mainly with their drafting. As a team who are known for their strong drafts, seeing Gen.G bungle that stage of the game is both confusing and concerning.
There were also some 50/50 in-game moments which shifted the neutral game stage into Gen.G’s opponents’ favour, so it is fair to say that Gen.G were a bit unlucky to go 0-2 with no maps won.
As bad as that record looks, however, Gen.G have lost against two elite teams, and that alone is not too concerning.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |

| August 3 | KeSPA Cup 2026 | Hanwha Life Esports | 0-2 (L) |
| August 1 | LCK 2026 Rounds 3-4 | Dplus KIA | 0-2 (L) |
| July 31 | LCK 2026 Rounds 3-4 | T1 | 0-2 (L) |
| JUly 27 | KeSPA Cup 2026 | KT Rolster | 1-0 (W) |
| July 21 | KeSPA Cup 2026 | HAJIN BRION | 0-1 (L) |

Verdict
Neither team have looked great this split, both having lost their first two matches of Week 1. But while a 0-2 record does not look great, I would not put too much weight on either losing record.
An early split is notoriously volatile, and with time, things should stabilise. At this point, most matches are 50/50 – as long as they include two elite teams, and this is exactly that.
