Year-End Preview on the 5th: Can Feiniu’s “No-Death Streak” Surpass 30? Qingqing Returns to the Solo Lane

Unknowingly, the 2025 KPL Year-End Finals stage matches are more than halfway through. Currently, besides Qingjiu, RW侠 is among the teams most likely to be eliminated early. After two matches, RW侠 still hasn’t earned any small points! On the 5th, RW侠 played their third match. The focus has shifted from whether RW侠 can win to Feiniu!

In the last match against AG超玩会, RW侠 was beaten like a casual team with no resistance at all. Fly’s “no-death streak” on the solo lane reached 0-22. Over three games, the entire team barely secured any kills. Averaging 2 kills, 5 assists, and 0.8 towers destroyed per game, such poor team stats are extremely rare in recent years. Tonight, rather than expecting a big breakthrough, we’ll see if RW侠 can at least beat DRG’s master rotation lineup or, at the very least, put up a near-winning performance.

DRG continued their hot streak in yesterday’s match, easily defeating EDG 3-1, a team that previously pushed the finals to decisive games. They only lost a small game when the support master rotation player appeared. Menglan maintained an impressively low death count, impressively showcasing the new hero Chisha; Huayuan and ZaoDian were also performing well.

It’s impossible for RW侠 to win this match now; we can only hope Feiniu ends his deathless streak!

Although LGD’s starting five lost the first match 1-2 against JDG and fell behind in the series, master rotation players Chichen and Xiaohan held strong. After entering, they first leveled the score and then decisively won the final game, securing a crucial point. Their fiery performance might inspire LGD’s main jungle and marksman players.

TES failed to capitalize on the “gifts” given by TTG in the last match. Despite taking a 2-0 lead and match point, they were chased down by TTG’s “true main” lineup in three consecutive games. Fortunately, with Qingjiu and RW侠 as backups in the elite group, as long as TES secures some small wins in each match, they don’t need to worry about the knockout stage.

After TTG’s initial upset loss, they made a baffling position swap, moving Qingqing to roam. Judging by Qingqing’s roaming debut, it seemed completely unprepared. Tonight, against the rapidly rising KSG, TTG put Qingqing back in the solo lane, further proving the last game was just a joke. Let’s see how they perform once this farce is over.

In the last match, KSG crushed WB’s winning streak with a strong offensive lineup, delivering a clean 3-0 sweep and overtaking JDG to claim first place in the elite group. If they secure another big win today, their top spot in the elite group will be almost guaranteed.

Since the new season update, Cao Cao’s performance has been outstanding. His win rate has surpassed 55%, making him the highest win-rate hero in the solo lane. Previously, his high win rate was mostly in lower-tier matches, but now Cao Cao leads the charts in both low and high tiers.

After the new season update, Cao Cao’s skill casting feels smoother. He also has three dashes, and his ultimate can break crowd control while healing him, making his current mechanics very strong. Additionally, because of his sword energy, his attack range is quite long. He can dive into the enemy backline, withstand heavy pressure, and still kill squishy targets. If you’re unsure which hero to climb ranks with, consider Cao Cao!
