This lower-bracket final is a best-of-five series, meaning both teams need to secure three victories to advance. In their previous encounter, Hanwha Life Esports took the upper hand in Game 1, exploiting T1’s mistakes and capitalizing on a disastrous Dragon fight that followed a seemingly promising Baron steal by T1.

Looking at the matchups and champion picks, T1 has opted for a composition that includes Gnar, Sejuani, and Caitlyn in Game 1, while Hanwha Life Esports countered with Camille, Nidalee, and Jhin. The champion selections are critical, as they set the stage for the strategic battle that will unfold.
T1’s journey to this point has been a rollercoaster. As the defending World Champions, they have faced unexpected challenges this season, including losses to Hanwha Life Esports and KT Rolster. Despite these setbacks, T1 has shown resilience, evidenced by their victory over KT Rolster in the playoffs and their chance to redeem themselves against Hanwha Life Esports in this crucial lower-bracket final.
On the other hand, Hanwha Life Esports, although considered underdogs, have been on the rise. From finishing 10th in 2022, they have steadily improved, placing 4th and then 3rd in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
