Hanwha Life Esports was completely defeated in the match against T1 in the first round of the '2024 LoL Champions Korea (LCK)' Spring Split regular season, which took place at LoL Park in Jongno on the 28th. Hanwha Life had been winning with late-game focused compositions, but the main reason for today's loss was that they couldn't keep up with T1's fast tempo.

The following is an interview with Hanwha Life Esports coach Choi In-kyu and 'Peanut' Han Wang-ho.

Q. What is your overall assessment of today's match?

Coach Choi In-kyu: I'm disappointed that we lost 0:2 despite preparing hard. I felt that T1 prepared better even though we had a longer preparation period than T1.

'Peanut': Of course, I'm very disappointed that we lost. However, I'm satisfied that we saw a chance to reverse the situation in the first set, and I will focus on the next match.

Q. You chose a late-game focused value composition.

Coach Choi In-kyu: It was the ban/pick phase we expected. It wasn't a perfect ban/pick, but I have many regrets about the game content as well.

Q. If you had won today, it would have been a 4-game winning streak. It seems like the first loss is even more disappointing?

'Peanut': It's already in the past. We haven't been playing together for very long, so I'm going to focus on the next match.

Q. What is your feedback on today's match?

Choi In-kyu: We kept winning with similar value compositions, but I think there will definitely be changes after today's loss.

'Peanut': I think the point today was Corki. I didn't want to give 'Faker' Sang-hyeok his Corki because his win rate is good. In the case of the first set, it was disadvantageous, but I felt like there was a chance for a teamfight. Anyway, I think the reason for the loss was that I was too concerned about Sang-hyeok's Corki.

Q. Finally, is there anything you would like to say?

'Peanut': I'm sorry to the fans. However, there are still many games left, so I will try to repay you with victories.
