The KRX Homefront match between Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) and KRX, held at the Hanoi Convention Center in Vietnam on the 10th, ended in a 2-1 victory for HLE. The event, which began at 5:00 PM local time, drew a sold-out crowd of 12k passionate Vietnamese fans who filled the venue with enthusiastic cheers.

KRX started strong, successfully targeting 'Gumayusi's' Sivir to secure two early kills. They followed up by taking down 'Zeka's' Cassiopeia and securing a dragon, putting them in a very favorable position. However, HLE fought back. Although 'Kanavi's' Xin Zhao was caught early in a skirmish near the dragon pit, the fight dragged on, allowing HLE to trade back two kills of their own.

HLE destroyed the top tier-1 tower first, naturally swinging the global gold lead in their favor, and also caught 'Ucal's' Ryze. KRX initiated a fight by starting the Rift Herald, which resulted in an even trade of kills. Amidst the chaos, KRX managed to secure three dragon stacks and a slight lead in both kills and gold.

A decisive team fight in the mid lane saw KRX score a massive victory, widening the gap to over 5k gold and allowing them to secure the Dragon Soul. KRX then dominated a subsequent fight near Baron, destroyed HLE's nexus in 26 minutes, and took the first game.

In the second set, the bottom lane matchup between KRX's Lucian-Nami and HLE's Ashe-Seraphine was intense from the start. With 'Willer's' Lee Sin joining the fray, KRX initially secured more kills, but HLE managed to stay even by picking up kills through tower plays.

The momentum shifted when 'Kanavi's' Vi began supporting the bottom lane, leading to a decisive win for HLE in that lane. HLE took control of the game, and the gold gap widened rapidly. Winning every subsequent skirmish, HLE built a 10k-gold lead by the 19-minute mark, securing the second set quickly to tie the series 1-1.

In the final third set, HLE struck first, using 'Kanavi's' Pantheon ultimate to secure two kills in the bottom lane. KRX responded with a Nocturne-assisted play that netted them two kills, but the loss of Nocturne meant HLE still came out ahead. Shortly after, HLE hunted down 'Ragefill's' Varus, allowing their bottom lane to take the lead.

HLE picked up additional kills in the bottom lane. While KRX managed to catch 'Zeus'' Jax with a top-lane gank, it wasn't enough. KRX found some success with Nocturne's timely interventions against HLE's constant pressure on Varus. With Varus falling repeatedly, the burden on 'Ucal's' Aurora—who held a 6/1/1 record at the 20-minute mark—became increasingly heavy.

KRX managed to catch 'Zeka's' Sylas after an overextension in the bottom lane, with 'Rich's' K'Sante securing the kill and gaining an advantage in the ensuing skirmish. However, 'Zeka's' Sylas went on a rampage in the following fights, leading HLE to close out the game at 25 minutes and secure a 2-1 series victory over KRX.
