Griffin’s Dominant Victory Against Hanwha Life Esports
Griffin extended their winning streak to nine games with a decisive 2-0 win over Hanwha Life Esports.
The LCK’s top team, Griffin, faced their second loss of the season earlier this week against Afreeca Freecs. Determined to bounce back, they had the opportunity to redeem themselves against Hanwha, the team they defeated in their debut LCK season.
Griffin made a strategic shift, abandoning the gold funneling strategy that cost them their previous match. Instead, they opted for more traditional compositions. This decision proved to be successful as Griffin regained their dominant playstyle and reclaimed their spot at the top of the LCK.
Support player Son “Lehends” Si-woo had an outstanding performance in this series, playing Morgana and Shen. He played a crucial role in Griffin’s early kills and engagements, securing first blood in both games. Lehends’ skill shots during the laning phase set the stage for Griffin’s success.
Although he didn’t receive an MVP award, top laner Choi “Sword” Sung-won showcased his skills in game one as Dr. Mundo. Thanks to Griffin’s early advantage, Sword was able to farm freely and become an unstoppable force. He fearlessly dove multiple members of Hanwha under the turret, creating chaos and forcing the enemy team to use summoner spells.
After losing game one, Hanwha attempted a five-man dive under Griffin’s top lane turret in an effort to take control of the game. However, this decision backfired as Griffin easily turned the engagement around and controlled both the top and bottom lanes. AD carry Park “Viper” Do-hyeon took advantage of the situation and farmed freely in the bot lane.
