Viper Makes a Bold Statement After Winning the First Stand 2025
On March 16, during the finals of First Stand 2025, the team HLE officially secured the championship title. With a strong performance against the LEC representative, HLE convincingly defeated their opponents with a score of 3-1. This championship serves as a testament to the impressive competitive spirit showcased by Viper and his team, as they strive to maintain their dominance in the future.

Immediately after claiming the championship, HLE members quickly became the focal point of media attention with numerous “hard-hitting” questions regarding their recent championship journey. Viper notably faced inquiries about which opponent he found most challenging during this tournament. He expressed surprise when mentioning that TES was the toughest competitor, despite HLE recently defeating them 3-0.

“For me, TES is a very strong opponent and poses many challenges when facing off. In reality, JackeyLove and Crisp are outstanding players that make this match difficult,” Viper shared.

Viper and HLE Ready to Conquer New Heights
At the recent First Stand 2025, HLE showed a dominating performance, losing only three games throughout the tournament. This highlights the absolute strength of the LCK representative, showcasing their resilience and determination to elevate their championship status. Furthermore, HLE’s victory qualifies them for the MSI 2025 group stage, while other regions must battle through the Play-In stage.

With their current high performance, the prospect of HLE continuing to excel and securing a spot in MSI 2025 seems very promising. Moreover, they can be seen as strong contenders for this title moving forward. We hope that Viper and his team will maintain their high level of play and continue to strive for more championships in the near future.
