T1 briefly sparked momentum in game two with a chaotic late-teamfight, as Peyz on Sivir delivered a quadra kill and an ace to swing momentum back toward T1.

Hanwha Life Esports defeated T1 3-1 to clinch their first MSI berth and secure the regional first seed, earning a direct path to the main MSI bracket on home soil in Daejeon.

With the win, Hanwha Life Esports advances straight to the MSI main bracket, while T1 falls to the lower bracket and must win on June 14 against Gen.G vs KT Rolster to stay alive.

Kanavi delivered standout plays in games three and four, including crucial Baron and Infernal Soul steals that gave Hanwha control and set up match point.

Hanwha emphasized a scaling, macro-oriented draft, including a top-lane Sion for Doran to apply map pressure and neutralize T1 despite an early gold lead for Zeus on Jayce.

T1 briefly disrupted Hanwha near Ocean Soul with a strong teamfight, but Hanwha regrouped, eliminated Moon, and closed out game one.

Delight’s Blitzcrank in game four anchored Hanwha’s control, enabling Zeka’s Yone to emerge as a dominant threat and seal the series.

The result marks a historic milestone for Hanwha Life Esports as the LCK’s rising top team, reshaping regional power ahead of MSI.
