T1’s Shocking Loss: What Went Wrong Against Hanwha Life Esports in the 2026 LCK?

Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok reflected on T1’s loss to Hanwha Life Esports.

T1 fell 1-2 to Hanwha Life Esports in Round 2 of the 2026 LCK at LoL Park’s LCK Arena in Jongno-gu, Seoul, on May 1 at 7 p.m. The defeat snapped the club’s five-game winning streak and left T1 at 6-4 for the season.

T1 seized the early advantage in Game 1 but collapsed in the late stages after a string of costly mistakes, surrendering the Nexus. They answered in Game 2 to even the series, but in Game 3 they couldn’t contain Kanavi (Seo Jin-hyeok) and Zeka (Kim Geon-woo), and ultimately lost the match.

After the game, Lee said, “Today was a disappointing loss. It didn’t go the way I expected, and we made mistakes in Games 1 and 3.” He added, “It’s still early in Round 2 — we’ll work hard to prepare for the remaining matches.”

Interim head coach Lim Jae-hyun said, “I thought we could win, so I’m sorry to the fans that we came up short. Game 1 was the most disappointing. We were executing well but failed to keep our composure at the end.” Lim vowed, “Even though we lost, we’re moving forward. We’ll correct our issues and go for the win in the next match.”
