A top team but not trusted at LCK Regular Seasons 2026
Recently, the annual Media Day event before the year’s LCK tournaments took place with representatives from 10 competing teams in attendance. Coincidentally, Gumayusi, representing HLE, had the opportunity to reunite with his senior – former teammate Faker, and the two players even sat next to each other. However, aside from these side factors, it cannot be overlooked that not a single representative appeared at the Media Day before LCK Regular Seasons 2026 placed their trust in HLE.
Specifically, all 9 out of 10 teams chose Gen.G as the team to win the upcoming LCK Regular Seasons, and the only team that did not select Gen.G was this team’s representative, according to LCK regulations. Thus, it can be seen that despite being a top team in the current LCK, HLE is not trusted.
Understandable Reasons Behind LCK Cup 2026
In fact, HLE is a team that gathers very strong, high-quality players in their positions. However, the issues of this team were clearly demonstrated in LCK Cup 2026: they lack a capable leader, and the performance of the players has hit rock bottom for various reasons. These are also the main reasons leading to HLE’s poor performance in the early stage of the last season.
In fact, the opinions of the players are only based on their performances and current capabilities according to the recent LCK Cup 2026. HLE still has every opportunity, and this entirely depends on the players. The LCK has entered a crucial phase with both domestic and international competitions stretching throughout the rest of the year. Just a small mistake could cost them the entire season, and the HLE players must not be complacent.
