KT Rolster vs. Hanwha Life Esports League of Legends LCK Regional Finals 2023 Preview

Prediction

KT Rolster had a stellar run in the LCK 2023 Summer season and finished in first place, marking one of their most successful Regular Seasons to date. They were also very close to toppling T1 on two different occasions. However, T1 ultimately eked out a win and advanced to the Grand Final against Gen.G, where they clinched a spot in the League of Legends Worlds 2023.

It's no surprise that KT Rolster are the frontrunners against Hanwha Life Esports, given that they emerged victorious against them in the Summer Split playoffs just a few days ago.

If Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) manages to hit their stride, given their experienced lineup comprising previous Worlds champs, KT Rolster is unlikely to defeat them.

The Hanwha Life Esports roster is full of potential. Their jungler, Kim "Clid" Tae-min, had to withdraw from the squad due to online controversy, causing them to struggle. The academy player, Jo "Grizzly" Seung-hoon, filled the spot capably, but the team's chemistry could not hold up against KT Rolster during the LCK 2023 Summer playoffs.

If HLE's players are able to unlock their full potential, there could be a turnaround in the upcoming series against KT Rolster.

However, as it stands, KT Rolster are expected to secure a 3-1 win.
