⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
Both teams kicked off their World Championship campaigns on a high note, making it tough to pick a clear favourite based solely on their opening results. Hanwha Life Esports boast a talented roster and have already shown they can take down top LCK sides. However, Gen.G have had the upper hand in recent head-to-head clashes, winning four of the last five encounters. Their two convincing 3-1 victories in September, especially in longer series, underline their edge when it matters most. While Hanwha Life Esports remain a threat in a best-of-one format, Gen.G’s consistency tips the scales in their favour. Our well-founded prediction is to back Gen.G to win.
