Hello to all LPL fans and League of Legends summoners, welcome to Tianxia Game Hub.
Yesterday, LCK held a blockbuster match where T1 battled HLE in what was essentially an LCK ninja duel. T1 overcame a deficit to win 2-1, grabbing their opening victory of the season.

In this round, Faker switched on godlike mode again, bringing out two iconic champions and being named the BO3 MVP.
Faker’s two signature champions make an appearance, but HLE takes the first game.
In the first game, Kanavi picked Vi jungle and repeatedly targeted the top lane. However, Doran on his signature Lillia performed excellently, escaping and countering with Oner’s help. Oner avenged Doran by killing Zeus, and later Kanavi shifted focus to the bottom lane, diving the tower to secure a 1-for-2 trade.

Early on, T1 held some advantage, but after Peyz made a fatal mistake mid lane, the momentum shifted. Consecutive errors allowed HLE to win the dragon team fight.
Soon after, Kanavi aggressively flashed in mid to catch Peyz off guard, coordinating with Taliyah and Rumble ultimates to secure kills. This gave HLE a significant lead, and they capitalized on vision control to take Baron. Despite being behind, Faker’s Ryze made spectacular plays, calmly turning fights around and melting Kanavi instantly during base sieges.


Although Faker fought valiantly, HLE ultimately secured victory by winning the Elder Dragon team fight against T1.
In the second game, Faker selected another legendary hero, Sylas, and along with Oner transformed into gods of war. Early in the mid lane skirmish, Oner, barely alive, helped his teammates kill multiple enemies, creating a dream start.
Faker enters godlike mode, thrashing the LPL champions.
Kanavi’s Wukong ran into Xin Zhao in the jungle, leading to a disastrous early collapse after trying to drag his mid laner into fights. Later, Kanavi made another misstep, attacking Oner while clearly behind in items. Oner countered, nearly killing Kanavi and forcing his Flash, then followed up with teammates to finish the kill.

Faker’s Sylas also entered godlike mode, roaming like a phantom. In a 1v2 bottom lane fight, he easily turned the tables and even chased down enemies with teammates. After failing a kill attempt and being low on health, Faker locked down his target. When Kanavi came to finish him off, Faker used a perfectly timed teleport in the corridor to escape effortlessly, mocking the LPL champion player.
In every subsequent team fight, Faker outplayed his opponents, while Kanavi’s Wukong ended the game with a dismal 0-6 record.
In the deciding game, Homme gave up T1’s signature support Bard, and T1 secured a mid-jungle combo of Orianna and Nocturne. Faker gained lane advantage early and, with Nocturne reaching level 6, easily killed the Talon.

During the dragon team fight, HLE seized the chance to focus down Nocturne but overused their abilities, allowing T1 to counterattack and win the fight.
With the advantage, T1 invaded the jungle. Zeka managed to enter and push three players but had little impact, as T1 systematically picked off and killed three enemies.
Doran was also godlike, with T1’s mid and jungle applying relentless pressure.
The rest of the match turned into a personal showcase for T1 players. After picking Akali, Doran became a godlike presence, freely roaming between side lanes and team fights. The final base fight was a visual delight. T1’s three gods each scored 9 kills (including Peyz), but the heaviest hitters were Oner and Faker.

Post-match, online discussions praised Faker’s performance, saying that seeing LPL players triggered his world championship memories, resulting in his heavy-handed play. Faker seemed ageless, delivering a god-tier performance and winning MVP once again.
Fans were thrilled by T1’s display, especially so early in the season, as they avoided falling into a “league mode” slump. In contrast, HLE exposed many issues, particularly Kanavi’s spoiled playstyle, which was fully revealed in this match.

With scores like 0-6 in the second game and 1-7 in the third, Kanavi’s performance looked inhuman. His frequent mistakes and tendency to drag teammates into fights, combined with his strong influence over the team, are reminiscent of the LPL region’s style. Homme also seems to tolerate this approach. Unless HLE addresses Kanavi’s problematic playstyle, it will be difficult for the team to achieve success.
