HLE's confrontation achievement before Gen.g is far behind T1
Recently, in the confrontation against Gen.G in the final of the winning of the LCK Summer Playoffs Summer 2024, Hanwha Life Esports lost again with the score of 1-3 gap. Worth mentioning, HLE is the team that has taken the lead surprise after the first game. But when they could not repeat that to Gen.G in the remaining games, the final failure could be completely seen, especially when looking at the way HLE had gene.
HLE continues to lose before Gen.g
At the same time, this defeat against Gen.G marked HLE's 19th consecutive defeat when encountering the defending champion LCK. If I missed the period from the spring of 2021 to the end of the summer of 2022, the number of HLE's losses against Gen.G has also reached 12 – a “record” that no team desired and it is also difficult for anyone to overcome. Even DK with Showmaker is always difficult and lost to Gen.G is not comparable.
And this is the 12th consecutive defeat of HLE against Gen.G
And 12 consecutive losses against Gen.G from the “full star” era of HLE is also more than T1 (losing genes. G 10 consecutive matches). Worth mentioning, 10 losses of T1 come from the “homegrown” squad. And before Gen.G entered the period of money to buy superstar, T1 often defeated this team, even when they had Chovy, Ruler.
And the number of consecutive losses against gene.g of HLE is more than T1 before Gen.G
HLE and T1: Two schools “spend money” opposition
In fact, HLE from the recent seasons has always been called by the audience with a nickname with many ironic implications as “Gen.G but orange”. Because, this team is also having many features similar to the defending champion LCK: A squad that gathers the excellent players, disciplined play and personal level of each member very high. However, unlike gen.G, hle “stars” but until now has not brought a title but often scratches when entering an important stage. In 2023, they could pour at the Clid. But in the spring of 2024, they could not have the capacity of MSI 2024 and lost to T1 at almost all confrontations.
HLE has not been successful even though it has spent a lot of money to buy a star
Meanwhile, T1 only spends money to keep Faker and sign a new contract with the players from their training furnace. In the current T1 squad, only Keria is a name before joining T1. And although they also lost a lot against Gen.G, from 2023 to the present, T1 is more successful than HLE to see the runner -up titles from LCK, MSI to Worlds and recently the World Championship 2023.
HLE and T1 can be said that two schools are almost different
Two teams with two opposing schools and the results are also quite opposite. HLE may also be destroying T1 this summer, but everything will not make sense if “Gen.G orange” still cannot beat the gene.
