The match of HLE - Gen.G shows that Riot's decision for League of Legends is grounded.

The HLE - Gen.G match consolidates the reason Riot is determined to "handle" the meta of League of Legends

LCK Cup 2025 ended with the victory of Hanwha Life Esports after a stressful Bo5 with Gen.G. This is also the second consecutive final that the MSI 2024 champion lost to HLE. However, even though this is the final convergence of all elements from expertise to emotion, many LoL audience also have to admit: Riot decided to eliminate Meta Island is reasonable.

HLE won the worthy championship at LCK Cup 2025.

Because, throughout game 5, almost no one can see the Kiin player showing anything, except for about ... 4 situations of the Zhao Zhao fire and never effective. A part of HLE is too good, but the rest must say that Kiin has "outplay" too much. The cause comes from the Meta itself.

With the need to choose Ornn, usually this champion will only need to play fixed in the upper lane and can lean back to experience. However, Meta island forced Kiin to fall into a disadvantage. Even after more than 10 minutes, he has a level 6, slow as close as support.

But the island game continues to become a problem and shows that Riot is determined to "erase" is always completely grounded.

The use of Ornn shows that Gen.G wants to fight in the long run but Kiin has too little experience, making the game excessively stretched. Therefore, many viewers acknowledged that the initially island meta can be considered a unique but at the present time, this game has been "spam" to the point of boring and Riot has to act is easy. understand.

The audience was too bored when game 5 was too tactical, but only because of the island play, the game was boring and the two teams were also for many reasons that only focused on "farm and farm".

Of course, HLE's victory is worthy and each of their position has not made any serious mistakes in the decisive game. Fearless Draft mode is also very well operated by HLE with the players who own a large general tank. At the present time, HLE is being considered a wide door to bring in its area to win at First Stand will be held right in Korea.
