Hanwha Life Esports enter this LCK BO3 at 19W-10L (65.5%) in fourth place, while KT Rolster sit fifth at 18W-13L (58.1%). Neither side is thriving across its last five series, with both posting 2W-3L, but Hanwha’s recent losses to Gen.G and DN SOOPers have exposed a volatile early game. Their average total gold difference is -3,652, compared with KT’s -6,488, and Hanwha’s 14.7 kills per game provide a higher fighting ceiling than KT’s 12.7.
The pivotal individual matchup starts with Kanavi, whose 5.9 KDA, +218 GD@10, and 88.6% kill participation make him Hanwha’s most reliable engine. Zeka remains another major win condition with a 7.9 KDA and +132 GD@15, even if his recent KDA trend is declining. KT can answer through top side, where PerfecT owns a +358 GD@15 advantage against Zeus at -488, and that lane could give Cuzz room to shape the map.
Draft will be central. Orianna carries 78.6% presence and a 62.8% ban rate, while Varus has 74.7% presence with a 65% ban rate, making both likely pressure points. KT Rolster should consider Lucian as a B1 option after its 53.3% WR in 15 games, especially compared with Ryze at 29% WR in 31 games. Hanwha Life Esports can still prioritize Vi, whose B1 record stands at 46.2% WR in 13 games.
Polymarket’s 71.5% probability for Hanwha Life Esports and 28.5% for KT Rolster is the defining external signal. The market appears to value Hanwha’s stronger overall 65.5% record, superior kill output, and Kanavi-led upside over KT’s recent head-to-head win and more favorable top-lane gold trend.
Hanwha Life Esports should win this series at 71.5% to KT Rolster’s 28.5% because their season-long record, higher combat output, and Kanavi’s playmaking outweigh KT’s recent 2-1 victory.
