HLE's superior early-game macro is evident, with their GD@15 averaging +1.8k over KT in recent series. Canyon's jungle pathing consistently creates top-side pressure, and Viper's laning phase allows for effective dragon control. Their champion pool flexibility and mid-game objective execution are simply higher ceiling. KT struggles to match this proactive pressure. 95% YES — invalid if KT secures a strong comfort pick draft.
