Hanwha Life Esports have become the first team to lock in a Wonju spot at the 2026 LCK Road to MSI, sweeping a 2-0 week to climb to 14-2 and guarantee themselves a top-three regular season finish — enough to bypass the opening rounds played at LCK Arena in Seoul.
The leaders opened Week 8 with a 2-0 series win over BNK FearX on May 21, with rookie support Park "Bluffing" Gyu-yong getting starting minutes. The experiment continued against Nongshim RedForce on May 23 but backfired in game one, prompting HLE to swap in Yu "Delight" Hwan-jung. The veteran's introduction triggered a 39-15 kill blowout in game two — Kim "" Geon-woo's Aurora finished on 12 kills, Lee "" Min-hyung's Ziggs on 11, and Seo "" Jin-hyuk's Vi on 10. Kanavi's Lee Sin then closed out game three to seal the series.
