CFO cause another major upset at First Stand 2025, HLE come back strong against European hopefuls

Team Liquid had the golden opportunity to punch their tickets to the League of Legends First Stand semifinals, but CTBC Flying Oyster had different plans today, and they took down the LTA representatives. Hanwha Life Esports also overcame a hiccup in maintaining their winning streak by dealing a heavy blow to Karmine Corp’s playoff hopes.

CFO looked to deliver a statement after their tough loss to the Korean Powerhouse HLE in the last First Stand matchup, and they bounced back with a 2-0 clean sweep on Liquid. The stars of the first match were mid lane Tsai “HongQ” Ming-Hong and jungler Yu “JunJia” Chun-Chia, who maintained perfect KDAs and dominated the American team on the blue side.
