Starting Off: What Happened in the Match?
Right from game one, you could tell Gen.G was hungry. They pulled ahead relatively fast — finishing the first game in just 33 minutes.

Game two was a turnaround for Hanwha Life Esport. The team bounced back with a solid 14-1 kill score and showed clean teamwork. Zeus on Ambessa topped with a 4-0-6 score, while Viper put on a marksmanship clinic with Lucian. It was clear they learned from the first game and adapted well, eventually taking the win in another fast-paced 33-minute game.
The third game sealed the deal for Gen.G. This match was just as swift and strong as the first, with Gen.G closing at 27-11 kills. Chovy once again made a big impact, and Kiin’s Renekton gave Hanwha Life Esport some trouble in the top lane. Despite some promising plays, Hanwha Life Esport couldn’t hold the momentum against the Gen.G onslaught.
