LCK 2025: HLE Versus T1 Game Two – Peanut Restores Faith

LCK 2025: Viper Ziggs Derails T1’s Draft

Xayah and Renata Glasc are two champions who love when their opponents run into them. HLE began their draft with ideal champions for the T1 botlane. However, the R5 Ziggs pick from Viper has derailed T1’s plans in the draft. The poke that Ziggs can provide makes it uncomfortable for Xayah and Renata to exist in fights. Both champions could be at half health before the fight even starts, or Viper can contribute to the dive on the two. Will T1 be able to close the gap on Ziggs before it is too late?

T1 Composition

• Doran – Gwen
• Oner – Pantheon
• Faker – Annie
• Gumayusi – Xayah
• Keria – Renata Glasc

HLE Composition

• Zeus – Ambessa
• Peanut – Vi
• Zeka – Ryze
• Viper – Ziggs
• Delight – Rell

LCK 2025: Proactive Peanut Pushes Past T1

Peanut has faced plenty of criticism for the collapse of HLE this year. In game one, he showed glimpses of the old Peanut. Old Peanut is definitely back. He controlled the entire early game for HLE, finding so many kills across the Rift. The only person he did not find a kill on in the early game was Keria’s Renata Glasc. He has given a significant amount of gold to his team, with most of it going to him.

LCK 2025: T1 Baron Stalls the Game

T1 opts in for a Hail Mary Baron to try and get back into the game. They managed to secure the objective with Gumayusi getting the shutdown gold from the kill on Peanut. The stall is not enough for T1 to get back into the game. Viper’s Ziggs makes it impossible for T1 to approach unscathed. HLE manages to secure for Drakes in a row and the Mountain, making them significantly tankier. T1 could not break through HLE’s lead, despite Gumayusi’s attempts.

HLE On the Brink of World Championship Qualification

Another dominant performance from HLE has put them one victory away from qualifying for the World Championship. If they keep going, they will win the series in three games. They will book their place in China and send T1 to the Lower Bracket. Can T1 respond to the onslaught from HLE and keep their hopes alive?
