Fresh off their 2026 MSI championship, Hanwha Life looked every bit the juggernaut in their first match in Paris. Hanwha Life Esports secured a victory over CBLoL's LOS in just 19 minutes.

LOS is the second seed from Brazil, having been edged out by FURIA for the top spot in the MSI qualifiers. The gap in class between Hanwha Life and LOS proved even wider than expected. 'Zeus' on Gnar dominated LOS top laner 'Zest' Kim Dong-min, securing a solo kill, while 'Gumayusi's' Seraphine continued to rack up kills in the bottom lane, causing the game's balance to collapse rapidly.

Although 'Zeka's' Syndra was the only one to give up two deaths, it had no impact on the game whatsoever. By the 14-minute mark, the gold lead had already ballooned to over 6k. LOS attempted to force fights to create variables rather than stalling, but it only served to further empower Hanwha Life.

Hanwha Life put on a masterclass in raw skill. With clean, precise decision-making, they destroyed the LOS Nexus in just 19 minutes to claim their first win.
