What To Expect From this Game

Their opening victory against Top Esports showcased their previous ability, however, consecutive defeats to Gen.G and Invictus Gaming have put the team in a rut. Now, they are unexpectedly facing early elimination, and have seemingly struggled to replicate their previous domestic and international form.

Both teams may have poor Swiss stage records, but they also both have shown in the past an ability to compete at the highest level. The individual talent that Hanwha Life Esports has plenty of international experience, but G2’s creative drafting and aggressive approach could make them dangerous opposition to Hanwha.
