T1 vs Hanwha Life Esports in League of Legends KeSPA Cup 2025 Grand Final: Who is expected to win the trophy?

Prediction

With Peyz joining T1 as the primary ADC and after watching all their matches in the KeSPA Cup 2025, it's safe to say the team's overall playstyle has somewhat changed compared to when Gumayusi was on the team. The team has so far mostly focused on giving resources to the botlane, expecting the new ADC to carry from the mid-to-late game.

T1 has succeeded greatly in reaching the Grand Final, with Peyz and Keria showcasing a world-class display, even though they have yet to get enough practice. While Faker and Doran haven't shown super dominant performances thus far, the overall synergy and team fighting have been extremely good.

T1's comeback against Dplus in the Lower Bracket Final was spectacular. Being 0-2 down in the series, the LoL Worlds 23, 24, and 25 winning team showed great resilience and executed better draftings overall. Notably, the Peyz-Keria duo in the last game was simply phenomenal, and they were the sole reason T1 won.

Meanwhile, Hanwha Life Esports is easily the favorite to win the KeSPA Cup 2025, based on their recent individual performance and team fighting capabilities. With Gumayusi and Kanavi joining the team, it seems like the squad has no weak point at all.

Although HLE was on the verge of losing against Dplus in the Upper Bracket Final, toplaner Zeus massively outclassed the opponent with his Camille pick in game five.

Also, the botlane duo of Gumayusi and Delight has been working quite well. They are great at controlling the pace from the early stages, and if they gain an advantage, they start to snowball methodically.

While HLE has already beaten T1 in the initial Playoffs stage, the series was very competitive. So, it's safe to assume the Grand Final will not be a one-sided affair. But, if we consider the individual performances and the team fight display after the roster changes, HLE looks a bit stronger than T1 currently.

Prediction: HLE 3 - 1 T1
