The First Stand 2025 champion has a “strange attitude” after the throne
Confronting the rated opponent is much weaker, Karmine Corp, the victory for Hanwha Life Esports is no need to argue. In fact, the match also proved: except for game 1 was somewhat unexpected, the rest in the next 3 games, the LCK representative simply did not give KC any opportunity to fight back. However, the attitudes of the HLE players after the championship are being discussed by LCK fans themselves.
The audience looks at the “strange attitude” of the HLE players
According to LCK fans, after winning the championship, not only Viper – the player rarely showing excessive emotions, even the remaining members of HLE are not really too explosive. According to some opinions, perhaps due to the match against the reality is not too difficult, the HLE members do not have “burst” emotions when winning.
According to many opinions, HLE members are not too excited
However, HLE at First Stand 2025 really shows a completely superior level compared to the rest. If in the LCK Cup 2025, even a very weak T1 can pull HLE to game 5, then at First Stand 2025, no team has done this. Even because 3 games of HLE are no different from the “walking” that makes many people believe that the first game against KC is simply HLE wants to “test the general” or not really hot.
It could also be because they were too “out” at First Stand 2025
In fact, First Stand 2025 is also controversial about meaning
Besides the championship and the “outing” of HLE, many viewers also argued about the nature of First Stand. While some think that the tournament is merely the Fearless Draft test with limited teams and the competition format is also too streamlined, others still want to calculate First Stand into the international tournament system equal to MSI or Worlds.
No one denies HLE's achievements and efforts. But the larger and more difficult tournaments are still ahead and that's why this is the reason why HLE players are not really too emotional explosion after the championship.
