Hanwha Life Esports

Damwon.

Hanwha Life, again, can be forgiven for dropping games to Gen.G and IG, given how strong those teams are.

They took care of business against top esports on day one.

Later this round, they'll be facing G2, and I expect them to win.

But across the board, he's been really, really fun to watch.

It's awesome.

We are looking at a possibility of Hanwha Life being eliminated by G2 here tomorrow.

Are we looking at that possibility, Matt? Well, I mean, I say it's slim, but I only say that because it's a 1-2, right? And if they mess around, you don't want to be in Swiss with two losses.

Temprovers are fucked.

I think, like, realistically, HLE have had one of the hardest draws in Swiss history.

And they just happen to be here.

You know, like, that's just how it is.

And they happen to be 1-2.

That's it.

If G2 managed to beat HLE, this would be the upset of Swiss.

I don't care that G2 are first seed out of Europe.

At the end of the day, if you're losing the 2-2 game, no one's going to care if you start at 2-0 or start at 0-2.

It's why what you said earlier about BLG and Hanwha Life's totally accurate as well.

Look, I might wonder how good their form is going into playoffs if they go in, you know, in their fucking 3-2 in the Swiss.

But at the end of the day, all I care about is that you make it.

And with you, though, I also think if they make the playoffs, though, which they have, I don't think there's many teams.

I think you almost have to get like a Western team if you want to win this first matchup.

If you have to play, remember, you could end up playing a BLG, a Hanwha Life.

Those teams are going to get you, in my opinion, a full B05.

And then when we won two Secret West, I was like, oh maybe, then we beat G2, oh maybe.

And then we were up against HLE, I was like, wait a second.

It was close, but you guys almost made it.

It was a dream actually, really?

And then when we won T-Secret West, I was like, oh, maybe.

Then we beat G2, oh, maybe.

And then we were up against HLE, I was like, wait a second.

It was close, but you guys almost made it.

Even if people didn't watch the LPL, the one downside in this roster, name value wise, most of the year, was Viper wasn't living up to his name value.

He didn't do the HLE shit.

He was amazing in the summer and actually coming in to the play he was looking fucking sick right until the finals basically so i've got to ask you i'll start with you kira thoughts on anyone's legend at worlds just in general against the field here because like i say i feel like even though it's harsh i don't put them in that like top three or four teams that win the tournament but i i get why if i was them i'd feel aggrieved like in any other year i would do that so what do you think of anyone's legend what should we expect from them See, I do think

anyone's legends are like, here's the thing, I think basically almost every single team, I think the other three top Chinese teams would have beaten BLG in the final the way On and Zhun played the final.

I think that in terms of the individual potential, I think it's extremely, extremely high.

I think that...

You know, if we look at some of the other teams, for example, HLE.

HLE, I think that Kanavi carries some risk.

Let us get smoked.

Let me play against an HLE and just let them just ram us.

I want to have a defeat like that, and then we'll sail off into the sunset.

That would feel better.

Excitement level.

Okay.

Yeah, this one, like Gen.G is just a 3-0 team, you know, like they are 3-0ing unless they barring they run into HLE.

Like I think Gen.G is going 3-0 and then they have a one week vacation before quarters.
