Preview of T1 vs. Hanwha Life Esports at League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split Group Stage

Prediction

Bae "Bengi" Seong-woong, T1's head coach, recently decided to exit the team, further compounding their already underwhelming chemistry and gameplay. Additionally, Faker, their midlaner, has been absent for the past couple of weeks due to an arm injury.

T1 have been using their academy player, Yoon "Poby" Seong-won, as a replacement. However, he has been underperforming so far. In their last matchup against Dplus KIA, his single error ended up being the decisive factor in the 0-2 series defeat.

Meanwhile, HLE have been showcasing their expertise in the League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split. With a record of 8-5, the star-studded team is capable of altering the outcome of matches with its members' remarkable talent and potential.

However, HLE's main jungler, Kim "Clid" Tae-min, is in the midst of controversy at the moment. Jo "Grizzly" Seung-hoon has subsequently replaced him as their main jungler, and he's playing well so far. He got two MVP awards in their last match against Liiv SANDBOX.

The tables could turn for T1 if Faker rejoins the squad, possibly giving them an advantage over HLE. However, if that doesn't happen, HLE are likely to come out on top and win the series 2-1.

Will Faker play against Hanwha Life Esports?

Faker has finally returned to playing League of Legends on his second account. Interestingly enough, there is still no official word from T1 regarding his availability against HLE.

Last week, Oner, the jungler for T1, disclosed that Faker will be absent for a few additional days if he's not completely well or experiencing any arm discomfort. As of now, T1 have not shared any revival narrative for the "Unkillable Demonking," so supporters can expect Poby to take the reins for the starting lineup.
