This is H2K's first trip to Worlds. Heck, this is H2K's first international tournament! The rookie squad skyrocketed through the ranks of the EU LCS this year, but still have a lot to prove on the big Worlds stage.
The thing that makes H2K most special in the EU is their big-picture strategies that prioritize objectives. They outthink and outmaneuver their opponents, happily trading small losses for bigger gains until they've amassed enough of a lead to force their victory.
Their players are strong -- especially bot and mid lanes -- but they rarely rely on their individual mechanics to carry them. Objective trading gave them solid, tangible results against the lower-tier EU LCS teams, but it occasionally looked like a crutch. At times, H2K let their mechanics get sloppy. Those missed Smites and caught-out carries added to a lot of unnecessary losses.
H2K will face tough opponents in this group -- teams that won't make those same mechanical mistakes. They have the strategies and gameplans to keep up with the best teams in the world, but they have to focus on the little things too if they want rise to the level of their more veteran opponents.
