Even though the second day of the year-end finals was less intense than the first, players are starting to hit their stride as the tournament advances, leading to more thrilling matches. The rewards at the year-end finals are truly enticing. On day three, AG Super Play and JDG both have games scheduled!

In last night’s match, WB gave a stunning debut performance, cleanly shutting out Qingjiu 3-0. The loaned roaming player Late Star showed excellent chemistry with the other four starters, securing MVP with Kongkong in the first game. After winning two consecutive games, Mengxi came in to close the match. He became the second loaned player to become a “true main player” after Jiuku. With both players competing for MVP honors, it promises to be exciting to watch.
Although EDG’s loss to AG Super Play was expected, it was surprising that they managed to take 2 points from AG. Currently, with 0 wins, 1 loss, and a -1 point difference, they still hold first place in the Elite Group. Starting the tournament against the eventual finalists, if they can pull off another close 2-3 match today against this grueling schedule, their chance to maintain first place in the Elite Group remains significant.

The match against JDG marked TTG’s debut at the year-end finals. TTG showed remarkable improvement over the summer split, transforming from a team that missed playoffs in spring to the EWC runner-up and summer split third place. Xiaoxue’s transformation, combined with new mid and support players, greatly boosted their competitiveness, along with their unique league strategy of a farming jungler supporting both sides. However, in the two crucial BO7 matches, the weakness in their jungle core limited TTG’s ceiling. For this year-end finals, they strategically brought in Luochen, with promising rookie Xiaokun ready on the top lane. We believe TTG will surprise us this tournament.

JDG failed to secure a triple kill against DRG in their debut, and after Sihuo was replaced by Jiuku, the balance of offense and defense shifted, leaving JDG’s marksman and support outmatched in lane. Relying solely on Jinyu and Qingrong’s individual skills is insufficient to carry a BO5 series. Facing TTG tonight, whose marksman and support duo is stronger than DRG’s, if JDG doesn’t significantly improve their form, they are likely to suffer consecutive defeats.

AG Super Play’s year-end finals debut was another classic slow start, battling EDG to a tense 3-2 match that made AG fans quite nervous. Tonight, facing their old rival KSG, let’s see if AG Super Play can show their usual dominance and improve their stats.
KSG’s debut against their nemesis Wolf Team once again ended in defeat, as their top and jungle issues remain unresolved after the offseason, even showing signs of regression. They fail to perform well even on their comfort heroes. Currently, with 0 wins, 1 loss, and a -2 point difference, they rank only fourth in the Elite Group.

Some newer players might not be very familiar with the mage Gan Jiang Mo Ye, as the hero has never been very popular. However, Gan Jiang Mo Ye boasts the highest average damage output among all mages. Thanks to his long range, he can effectively ignore melee heroes during laning. If an assassin gets close, he can use his first skill to push them back, leaving opponents helpless.

Moreover, once Gan Jiang’s first skill passive is fully stacked, combined with his magical gear, his burst damage surpasses even Angela’s. In the late game, after activating his ultimate, any of his second or third skills can instantly eliminate squishy targets, giving enemies no time to react. Naturally, he can also instantly kill heroes like Zhuge Liang. Gan Jiang Mo Ye is easy to master and with some practice, you can handle him effortlessly. Learning this mage can definitely help you climb to Glory King rank, making him a highly worthwhile hero to practice.
