HLE will face extremely tough challenges on their journey in LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2
As of now, one of the two teams performing the best in the LCK is KT and HLE. One side is a team that has remained undefeated since the official start of LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2, while the other has only lost one match against T1 before starting their unbeaten streak and closely following KT. However, in the fifth week of the tournament, HLE is predicted to face difficulties and may see their unbeaten streak come to an end, as their opponents are KT and T1 in succession.
This is because KT is currently very strong with a not only scientific but also calm playstyle, even when losing some advantages. The coolness and precision of KT are turning this team into a very strong collective. Especially, the high performance of Bdd is also a crucial foundation. If they cannot completely “shutdown” this player, KT can completely turn the situation around against any competitor.
Meanwhile, T1 seems to have regained their sense of victory. Of course, BRO or BNK cannot be worthy opponents compared to HLE. But the “Orange House” cannot be complacent. Their only loss in the first phase was against T1, in a match where every position of HLE was completely “read”.
Therefore, the fifth week of the tournament will not be easy for HLE. But if they can achieve a complete victory, though very difficult, the “Orange House” will take a big step towards securing a leading position before entering the Playoffs.
