Hanwha Life denies T1 direct entry to Worlds 2024, forcing them into final qualifier
The LCK Summer Split Playoffs showdown once again offered fans a thrilling showdown and an unexpected conclusion as Hanwha Life Esports toppled T1 3-1, blocking their direct route to defend their title at the 2024 League of Legends World Championship.
This win also marked HLE player Zeka’s first appearance in the LCK Finals, making him the first mid laner outside of Faker, Chovy, Bdd, and ShowMaker since Ucal faced a rookie Chovy in 2018. With this victory, HLE moves on to face Gen.G in the Summer Split finals, who have already qualified for Worlds by winning MSI, meaning both teams already have their spot secured at Worlds.
