Hanwha Life e-Sports, the No. 1 player of LCK (Korea), also advanced to the quarterfinals of the LOL World Cup as expected. There was no unusual event, but it was a sweat and tears.
On the other hand, D-Plus Kia lost to LPL's second seed TES 0-2, recording 2 wins and 2 losses, aiming for one last chance.
Hanwha Life defeated LCS (North America)'s No. 1 seed Flyquest 2-1 in the fourth round match of the Swiss Stage (round of 16), which continued at Riot Games Arena in Berlin, Germany from the 10th to the 11th (Korean time), and confirmed its advance to the quarterfinals for the second time after Gen.G.
Flyquest was initially considered a weak player to the extent that Hanwha Life Insurance was expected to win completely. However, FlyQuest drove Hanwha Life to the end by creating a lot of variables and increasing the completeness of the one-shot fight, not an obvious banpick or strategy. It was a good example of what to do against the strong team. There was certainly a psychological negligence that belittled the opponent, but it was also a match that Hanwha Life felt deeply that anomalous plays could come out and eventually had to overcome them with skills. It was also in charge of a proper vaccination.
Hanwha Life had a big advantage until the middle of the first set, but after hunting Baron, it faltered by losing four kills in the one-stroke fight that the opponent walked. However, after that, Park Do-hyun won by posting a quadra kill (4 kills).
However, in the second set, Flyquest created various variables by choosing a somewhat unfavorable side, Red, and a surprise pick that chose 'Nunu', the champion of memories. In the end, Flyquest, who succeeded in dragon hunting in succession by utilizing Nunu's fast object hunting speed, made an extraordinary event of taking it to Baron, continuing to win the one-stroke battle and taking the second set.
Hanwha Life Insurance, which has cleared its battle line, continued to expand its kill score by blocking Flyquest's intention to create variables from the beginning, and ended the long battle with a victory by achieving an ace that defeated all the opposing champions in the final one-shot fight.
In the previous fourth round match, D-plus was beaten individually by TES with a rather cluttered play and a performance that did not meet expectations, such as relying heavily on Kim Haram's personal capabilities. Although there are still five rounds left to compete between teams with two wins and two losses, it is difficult to guarantee victory with the current performance.
Meanwhile, Hanwha Life Insurance and TES have confirmed their advance to the quarterfinals in Paris, France, and only four tickets to Paris are left. At 9 p.m. on the 11th, LOL World Cup defending champion T1 will compete against LEC (European) powerhouse G2 for the quarterfinals. If you win here, you will be in the final five rounds of the Swiss stage, where teams with two wins and two losses will compete, just like D-plus.
