The fourth week of the League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split will feature Gen.G vs. Hanwha Life Esports (HLE). This matchup will be interesting for fans as the former is still unbeaten in the tournament. However, for the latter, this is a bittersweet event because of some controversies related to that team.

Ahead of the Gen.G vs. Hanwha Life Esports clash, let’s shed light on some of their recent results and important statistics.
Preview of Gen.G vs. Hanwha Life Esports at League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split Group Stage
Prediction
As mentioned before, Gen.G is an unstoppable force at the moment. Currently, they are 7-0 in the LCK and sitting at the top of the table. They are on the right track to winning the LCK for the third consecutive time, as Chovy and co. are dominating the Summoner’s Rift.
They have already defeated the likes of T1, KT Rolster, and Dplus KIA. Hence, going against HLE, they would be considered massive favorites. One of the significant reasons behind that is the impeccable display from their young ADC, Kim “Peyz” Su-hwan. He has the most MVPs (6) in this split so far.
However, it was the same scenario for T1 in the previous split, as they looked great throughout the season but failed to pass the last hurdle. Hence, Gen.G has to maintain the same consistency and mentality to win it all.
Hanwha Life Esports, on the other hand, is currently in a tricky situation. Their star jungler, Kim “Clid” Tae-min, was dropped from the roster in the match against Dplus KIA. He faced multiple allegations of misconduct after two fans accused him of sexual harassment on June 27. Subsequently, HLE called up their academy jungler, Jo “Grizzly” Seung-hoon. However, they lost the match 0-2.
It’s still unsure if Clid is going to be back on the team against Gen.G, as there have been no official statements released from them or LCK. Therefore, it is safe to assume that HLE will not be at its peak given the circumstances.
However, previous League of Legends Worlds winners, Hwang “Kingen” Seong-hoon, and Kim “Zeka” Geon-woo, can change the tide of the game entirely on their own.
As for the prediction of Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports clashing in the League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split Group Stage, it is expected to be straightforward, as the former should get a comfortable 2-0 win.
