KT Rolster Have Yet To Be Stopped
KT Rolster kept their perfect record alive by beating BNK FEARX last week despite starting offside. With an 8-0 record, they are, on paper, the best team in the league, but while KT Rolster are good, they are not great.
This is a perfect example of where a season record does not show the full story. Yes, KT are playing well, their mid-jungle duo are doing their work, and ADC Pefeect is playing extremely well. But KT have been showing cracks in the early game.
This was not the case against BNK FEARX, when KT Rolster produced one of the better early games of the season. But then they also got sloppy and almost lost the map. The second map was similar – KT got a huge lead, became sloppy and almost lost it all.
As noted, KT Rolster are far from perfect. They’re good, but have yet to show anything exceptional, and should be ranked as the same-tier team as Hanwha Life Esports.
KT Rolster Squad & Team News
No roster changes for KT Rolster.
- Hwang "Kingen" Seong-hoon – top lane
- Bae "Sponge" Young-jun – jungle
- Lee "Scout" Ye-chan – mid lane
- Kim "Taeyoon" Tae-yoon – ADC
- Son "Lehends" Si-woo – support
Hanwha Life Esports Look Very Solid
Hanwha Life Esports have been holding on well this split, and have won six straight games since their Week 1 defeat against T1.
That includes victories against Gen.G, Dplus KIA, and Nongshim RedForce, granted the latter was a bit too close for comfort.
Clearly, HLE is a great team, but they are not as fundamentally sound as they may appear. HLE continue to make silly mistakes, overextend, and at times make questionable decisions in the mid-late game.
The over-aggression comes mostly from Kanavi, who has played a big role in HLE’s victories, but his ego has cost HLE advantages.
Hanwha Life Esports Squad & Team News
Hanwha Life Esports have not announced any roster 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 – support
Verdict
Hanwha Life Esports have the tools to defeat KT Rolster, but are not a reliable team. With HLE, you never know what version of HLE you’re going to get, as they are no strangers to shooting themselves in the foot.
However, while Hanwha Life Esports can be up-and-down, their ceiling is much higher than KT Rolster, who are a boring, reliable team, but also a team that have not shown anything exceptional.
