Hanwha Life Esports defeated T1 3-1 on September 2 in the LCK 2026 playoffs, advancing to the upper bracket finals. This victory confirms HLE’s dominance over the Korean League of Legends scene this year, after already beating T1 2-0 on August 23 during the final stretch of the regular season. Earlier in 2026, HLE captured the Mid-Season Invitational title by defeating BLG 3-2 in the finals, with Zeus named MVP of the series. T1 drops to the lower bracket, where one more loss would end their season. Both teams remain in contention for Worlds 2026 qualification, as the top six playoff teams earn spots at the event.
