Up to the present time of the summer LCK 2024, HLE is showing that it is an extremely worthwhile team with very high performance. Latest, they defeated KDF with a score of 2-0 and climbed to the No. 2 position on the LCK rankings with a coefficient of 7 victory – 2 defeats (ranked above T1). This achievement is helping HLE have a significant advantage in the race to the ticket to attend this year's Worlds.
HLE recently had a convincing 2-0 victory over KDF
In their upcoming match, Viper and his teammates will have to encounter a big challenge called T1. If you defeat this opponent, it will be an affirmation of HLE's steel to the race to the ticket for Worlds, even the LCK title. On the star of HLE – Viper, this guy is very confident in the upcoming match despite still respect for the opponent.
Viper proved extremely confident before the match against T1
“Gumayusi with me is a smart player when I can complete many different tasks and go very well. I myself think I am not good at maintaining my style, I used to” throw “the game a lot when I still play at LPL. Gumayusi is simply too good.
However, our goal in the next match is always victory. We will do this by putting the opponent's bottom duo under a lot of pressure at the road. The whole team practiced a lot and just needed to keep the focus, we will beat T1 ” – Viper shared with the press.
Viper said the HLE collective is putting very high determination in the match against T1: “Gumayusi and me are a smart player when I can complete many different tasks and go very well. I myself think I am not good at maintaining my form, I used to” throw “the game a lot when I still play at LPL. Gumayusi is simply too good. The opponent's bottom duo under a lot of pressure in the road.
At the 4th week of LCK Summer 2024, HLE passed T1 in a hard way with a score of 2-1. It should be known that in the third decision game, HLE left Gumayusi a period of travel too comfortable to focus on attacking Zeus's position. As a result, T1 owns a very strong Kai'SA in the hands of Gumayusi and gives many advantages to the home team. Perhaps without the shine at the end of Zeka's match, T1 is likely to defeat HLE in that match.
HLE defeated T1 in the previous match with a shining phase of Zeka
Most likely the HLE after the last victory has realized this, so they planned to “take care of” Gumayusi more carefully. Moreover, the attack and control of the lower road area also helps HLE to limit Keria's ability to move. Since then, there is a lot of pressure on map control to T1 and increasing the victory rate in the next match.
After the hard victory last week, HLE probably realized that he needed to “take care” of the lower line of T1.
To be fair, not excluding the possibility of the above shared sharing is just “blind fire” to disturb tactics on the side T1. The reason comes from the fact that T1 is an uniform collective with many follicles in most positions. The focus on “taking care” of Gumayusi's position can completely counterproductive if the T1 side adapts well to the match. Hopefully, no matter what tactics play with, both T1 and HLE will bring a good performance of a “great war” in the upcoming encounter.
