Hanwha Life e-Sports and Gen.G. all confirmed their advance to the quarterfinals of the LOL World Cup. Now, you only need to join T1 from LCK (Korea).
Hanwha Life Insurance and Gen.G. shut out LCP's ambush CFO and LPL's powerhouse TES in the fourth round of the Swiss stage of the '2025 League of Legends World Championship" (Rolls Cup) held at Beijing Smart e-Sports Center on the 22nd and 23rd, respectively, achieving their third win (one loss) and reaching the quarterfinals as the second and third runners in LCK after KT Rolster, who won all three games.
Both CFO and TES won the first and second rounds of the Swiss stage and won two consecutive games, but were no match for the LCK team. With two wins and two losses, he will try to advance to the last eight in the final five rounds.
With this, if only T1, the defending champion and T1, who is trying to win three consecutive LOL World Cups, LCK will be able to increase its chances of winning for the 10th time in history by reaching the quarterfinals for all four teams that have participated in the LOL World Cup in three years following 2022.
Of course, it's not an easy situation for T1. T1 completely defeated LTA's fly-quest in the first round, but has been sluggish with 1 win and 2 losses in the following 2nd and 3rd rounds, respectively, as they were held back by CFO and Gen.G. Now, with one more loss, he will not be able to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in the history of the LOL World Cup. You have to win back-to-back games in the fourth and fifth rounds.
First of all, they will play the fourth round against the LTA's 100 Cives on the 24th. In the first round, the 100 Cves caught Billy Billie Gaming, the No. 1 seed in the LPL, but since then, they have lost to TES and Hanwha Life Insurance in succession, leading to 1 win and 2 losses.
Overall, T1's performance is low, and there are frequent misses in Banpic strategies, but it is expected that it can exceed as many as 100 CBs. In the end, the fifth round, which will be held on the 25th, can be said to be the match. Currently, CFO, Flyquest, TES, and LEC's Movistar Koy are in the group of 2 wins and 2 losses, and Billibilli is expected to play in the 5th round through the 4th round on the 24th.
Given that they can't compete with previously fought teams, T1 will meet one of the three teams - Movistar, TES and Bilibili. It's two thirds of the chance to meet the Chinese team.
However, T1 is expected to continue this momentum this time, as it has never lost against the Chinese team in the multi-match LoL World Cup. Overall, the momentum is low, but it is clear that he will fully analyze the opponent for nearly a week after the third round match on the 18th. First of all, it seems that this will be confirmed through the 100 Cves match on the 24th.
