In the 2026 LCK regular season Round 3 Legend Group match held on the 8th, Hanwha Life Esports defeated T1 2-1, successfully snapping a three-game losing streak. Hanwha Life head coach Yoon Sung-young and 'Gumayusi' Lee Min-hyeong attended the post-match media interview.

Regarding the victory, coach Yoon Sung-young stated, "It feels good to win after such a long time, and we will prepare well for the remaining matches." 'Gumayusi' added, "I'm relieved we won, as we were on the verge of finishing the third round winless. We will keep this momentum going."

When asked about the team's atmosphere and preparation during their three-game losing streak, coach Yoon explained, "We determined that the loss against Gen.G was largely due to issues with our pick-ban. It helped that we had players who know T1 well while preparing for today's match." 'Gumayusi' added, "We focused our preparation on the fact that T1's bottom lane is very strong."

The discussion also touched on the bottom lane laning phase and pick-ban strategy. 'Gumayusi' analyzed, "In Game 2, the opponent picked champions they were confident in, but our composition was better, which allowed us to win." Regarding Game 3, he assessed, "It seemed the opponent planned their pick-ban to exclude Ezreal. While Ezreal wasn't the sole reason for our victory, we utilized him well to secure the win."

On the situation where T1 subbed in rookie 'Painter', coach Yoon recalled, "It was an unexpected move, so I was surprised, but we tried to handle it well." 'Gumayusi' concluded the interview by saying, "I was shocked when I saw 'Painter' walk into the makeup room. I joked with 'Kanavi' Seo Jin-hyeok, asking if he was okay with the seven-year age gap, to lighten the mood. 'Painter' is still a young player, and I think he has a promising future."
