The League of Legends First Stand 2025 Final sets the stage for an exhilarating best-of-five match-up between Hanwha Life Esports and Karmine Corp. While Hanwha Life Esports appears to be the favorite among fans, Karmine Corp possesses a wealth of talent and strategic insight that could lead to a monumental upset. With the elimination of lane-swaps, fans can eagerly anticipate some of the best players in the world dueling it out in traditional lanes.
This article highlights key statistics and player performances from both teams as we approach the championship final.
Final Showdown: Hanwha Life Esports vs. Karmine Corp
Since acquiring Zeus for the top lane, Hanwha Life Esports has showcased exceptional skill, recently triumphing in the LCK Cup and securing their place in the First Stand Grand Final. The team’s lineup features five highly skilled players across every role and has suffered only two losses throughout the tournament.
Zeus’s impactful performances have been pivotal to the team’s success so far, supported by standout players like Zeka, Peanut, Viper, and Delight, who have consistently outperformed formidable competitors.
HLE has often dominated in late-game situations with champions known for scaling, such as Kayle, Vladimir, and Kassadin. As they face Karmine Corp, we can expect HLE to implement innovative strategies in their draft selections.
On the other hand, Karmine Corp has crafted their path to the finals impressively, rebounding skillfully from three consecutive losses against Team Liquid, CTBC Flying Oyster, and Hanwha Life Esports. They regrouped to defeat TES and CFO in the playoffs, demonstrating resilience and strategic growth.
Despite being down 0-2 in their playoff match, Karmine Corp rallied back with scaling champions like Senna and Jax, showcasing remarkable fortitude to secure victory in the decisive fifth game. Notable contributions from Vladi and Caliste were instrumental in this comeback.
Prediction: The analysts largely anticipate that Hanwha Life Esports will clinch the best-of-five series with a score of 3-1.
