HLE’s two superstars are on the verge of making history for themselves
Before the First Stand 2026 kicks off, many opinions have suggested that the duo Ruler – Canyon from Gen.G would be the first to complete a full collection of titles. For Ruler, he will be in a different category as he has also won the LPL championship. However, after the tournament in Brazil concluded, despite having rested since the group stage of the LCK Cup 2026, HLE’s stars Zeus and Zeka are the ones standing before this historic opportunity, taking the place of Gen.G’s duo who had an unsuccessful First Stand 2026.
Currently, Zeus and Zeka are the two players who have won all the championships in CKTG, LCK, and even the First Stand. The only title they lack, which is also one of the two largest international titles in the League of Legends scene, is MSI. In fact, even considering tournaments not under Riot’s system (like EWC), Zeus has also secured a championship in this tournament.
HLE will likely set MSI as their most important goal at this stage
Within the HLE roster, only Kanavi has ever won MSI while wearing JDG’s jersey. However, in general, the number of players from HLE who have not won MSI is still too many, and at this stage, this is definitely the biggest goal for the players. For Zeus and Gumayusi, MSI is still a “pain” as they were part of the undefeated T1 2022 team but suffered a defeat against RNG in a controversial MSI.
In this season, Zeus is once again teaming up with Gumayusi. HLE had an unsuccessful LCK Cup 2026, and the upcoming matches will be another opportunity for the “Orange House” to prove that their all-star lineup deserves the expectations of the audience. At the same time, winning the championship will help Zeus and Zeka establish a historic achievement for themselves that no one has accomplished so far.
