Following a magnificent LCK split, HLE failed to qualify for the MSI 2025 after a devastating 0-3 loss against T1 in the Road to MSI event. However, the squad is stacked with legendary names and is considered one of the tournament favorites at the EWC 2025.

The players to look for at HLE are its Toplaner, Zeus, and the Botlane duo of Viper-Delight. With the former's heavy carry potential and the ADC role being prominent in the current LoL meta, they can significantly impact the clash.

On the other hand, the LCP 2025 Mid-Season winner, CFO, delivered an exceptional performance at the MSI. The team almost defeated T1 in the opening series and obliterated LEC's KOI to solidify their spot as one of the top-notch teams in the world currently.

As the clash against HLE will be in a best-of-one format, CFO can certainly pull an upset if talented players like HongQ, Doggo, and others perform well.

Prediction: HLE 1 - 0 CFO
