Hanwha Life Esports defeated Kiwoom DRX to push their winning streak to 10 games.
On the 10th, Hanwha Life came back to beat Kiwoom 2–1 on Day 2 of the LCK Roadshow at the Vietnam Expo Center in Hanoi. The victory gave Hanwha Life a 10-game streak and left them alone atop the standings at 11–1 (+16).
Kiwoom leaves the roadshow with a 3–9 record on the season and suffered two losses during the LCK’s first overseas stop.
After dropping Game 1, Hanwha Life engaged in an early back-and-forth with Kiwoom in Game 2. The turning point came when Kanavi (Seo Jin-hyeok)’s Vi ganked bottom, allowing Hanwha Life to open a 4,000 gold lead by 16 minutes.
Hanwha Life cleaned up three kills in a mid-lane skirmish at 17 minutes, and at 23 minutes Gumayusi (Lee Min-hyeong)’s Ashe secured a triple kill in a top-lane fight. Hanwha then pressured Kiwoom’s base, took down structures and evened the series.
In Game 3, Hanwha split two kills in a bottom-lane clash. After Gumayusi’s Yone eliminated RagePhil (Tran Bao Minh)’s Varus, Hanwha also came away with the Earth Dragon fight.
Kiwoom began to mount a comeback by taking out Gumayusi and Kanavi’s Pantheon in a bottom-teamfight. On the top side, Rich (Lee Jae-won)’s K’Sante solo-killed Zeus (Choi Woo-je)’s Jax, and Kiwoom secured a decisive skirmish in the bottom jungle at 22 minutes.
But at 24 minutes Hanwha Life landed a clean five-man wipe in a mid-lane fight and seized control. They marched into Kiwoom’s base, demolished the inhibitor turrets and Nexus, and closed out the match.
