Hanwha Life Esports defeated T1 in their first match of the playoffs, but could not make it past against LCK’s no.1, Gen.G. Meanwhile, T1 lost to HLE badly, but bounced back with a win against Dplus KIA.
T1 enter this match off a victory, but even that win does not deserve much praise, as Dplus KIA did not show much of a resistance. Even with that win, it is fair to be sceptical about T1, who haven’t been very stable this season, suggesting a repeat of what happened the last time these two teams met is likely.
- T1 are volatile
- Hanwha Life Esports are expected to win
- Another HLE victory would not be surprising

Hanwha Life Esports and T1 have met eight times this season, with Hanwha Life Esports coming out ahead five times.

Hanwha Life Esports Are In Solid Shape
Hanwha Life Esports started LCK playoffs with a reverse-sweep win against T1, but they could not manage to overcome Gen.G in the upper bracket finals and lost 1-3.
HLE have been up and down, but they showed up against T1 after they figured out how to draft. On the Rift, however, HLE have made a few too many errors, and while this went unpunished against T1, the same thing didn’t happen against Gen.G.
Hanwha Life Esports are far from perfect. They have the talent and overall quality to deliver high-level performances. However, they keep making silly mistakes, so the real question is how efficiently their opponents punish those errors.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 5 | LCK 2026 Playoffs | Gen.G | 1-3 (L) |
| September 2 | LCK 2026 Playoffs | T1 | 3-2 (W) |

T1 Are Inconsistent
T1 have not been having the best split. While they remain one of the top-four teams in the LCK, T1 have looked very inconsistent and have not shown much improvement in the playoffs.
They kicked off the LCK playoffs with a narrow 3-2 victory against BNK FEARX, then lost against Hanwha Life Esports in a 2-3 reverse-sweep, and defeated Dplus KIA to book a rematch with HLE in the lower bracket finals.
Their last outing against Dplus KIA was a slightly more convincing performance. But that win can be taken with a grain of salt, as Dplus KIA did not play well. As a result, it is more than fair to question whether T1 are in any better position to defeat HLE in a rematch than they were last time out.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 6 | LCK 2026 Playoffs | Dplus KIA | 3-1 (W) |
| September 2 | LCK 2026 Playoffs | Hanwha Life Esports | 2-3 (L) |

T1 Squad & Team News
No roster changes for T1.
- Choi "Doran" Hyeon-jun – top lane
- Mun "Oner" Hyeon-ju – jungle
- Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok – mid lane
- Kim "Peyz" Soo-hwan – ADC
- Ryu "Keria" Min-seok – support
Verdict
This is a clash between two of LCK’s best teams, and two teams who already played a close five-map series earlier in the playoffs. However, while qualitatively, T1 and HLE look evenly matched, it is hard to side with T1 based on the performances they’ve produced of late.
T1 have been shaky in the latter half of the split and have been unconvincing. While they started their last meeting with HLE well, they quickly got figured out, and the same thing can easily happen here.
Hanwha Life Esports are not perfect and also make mistakes, which can be punished. But even in their current state, HLE appear more stable than T1.
