Frequent KPL watchers are aware that many fans enjoy comparing Yinuo and Yaodao. But after this year, it’s clear that Yaodao is no longer in the same tier as Yinuo! In the deciding game against LGD, Yaodao was twice killed under tower by LGD’s shooter, resulting in another 2-3 defeat for his team!
After losing this match, KSG has completely lost the chance to be first in the elite group! This means KSG must now compete in the breakout tournament!
In the first game, at 3:30, multiple KSG players ganked top lane to kill Cao Cao; LGD.NBW arrived to assist and took down Charlotte. At 4:15, Guiguzi pulled two enemies mid; KSG traded zero for two and then dove under tower to kill Luban No.7 in the bottom lane. At the 10-minute mark, KSG’s Di Renjie soloed the Shadow Tyrant while several teammates rushed to contest the Shadow Lord, securing both dragons. Both teams exchanged one kill each. At 13:50, Guiguzi’s initiation was interrupted by Juyoujing; Luban Master forced Guiguzi to flash. In the following team fight, Luban No.7 positioned excellently, allowing LGD to win the fight 3-for-2 and push down both tier-two towers. At 16 minutes, LGD took the Shadow Lord, destroyed the three high ground towers, wiped out the enemy team, and destroyed the crystal to take the first game.
After falling behind 0-2, many thought KSG would be swept. But from the third game, KSG fought back! At 1 minute, top lane saw KSG’s top and support team up to kill Chiyou, with Ma Chao taking first blood and Nuwa assisting to force Taiyi Zhenren’s flash. At 10 minutes, LGD saved Sun Shangxiang while Chiyou scored a double kill; after LGD traded zero for two, they secured the Shadow Tyrant and pushed the mid outer tower. At 15:30, both sides contested the Shadow Tyrant; LGD traded zero for one to kill Yuantan and secured the second Shadow Tyrant. At 16:40, LGD destroyed the three high ground towers. At 20 minutes in the bottom lane, KSG managed a one-for-two exchange, pushed the three high ground towers, wiped out the enemy team, and leveled the series.
With the score tied 2-2, the match went to the decider. At 3 minutes, a clash broke out top lane where Haino scored two consecutive kills to finish off the enemies. In the bottom lane, Gongsun Li dove under tower to kill Baili Shouyue, enabling LGD to secure the first small tyrant. At 4:40, Gongsun Li killed Baili Shouyue again; LGD pushed down the bottom outer tower and stole the blue buff. By 7 minutes, they destroyed the bottom tier-two tower. At 10:30, LGD secured both dragons and destroyed the three high ground towers. Finally, LGD traded zero for four, pushed the crystal, and claimed victory.
LGD started strong with pressure in the top and bottom jungle lanes as well as the three lanes. Young player Haino scored a double kill top lane. In the bottom lane, Xiaohan’s Gongsun Li solo killed Shouyue twice and began invading the enemy jungle. By ten minutes, LGD led by 6,000 gold, took two dragons, destroyed the three high ground towers, and pushed the crystal. Unexpectedly, KSG’s start was not just a collapse in one or two lanes but a complete breakdown.
After losing this match, KSG has completely lost any chance at first place in the elite group! Many fans also said, stop comparing “Yaodao” with Yinuo!
Zhen Ji’s “Wandering Dream” skin is definitely the “king among free skins.” This skin is a limited anniversary edition that transforms Zhen Ji into Du Liniang from Kunqu opera, dressed in a pink costume embroidered with peonies, wearing exquisite Kunqu headwear, and speaking with a theatrical tone full of charm.
Most importantly, this skin was originally available for free by completing tasks, and now it can be obtained again for 88 fragments during its rerun. Many players once thought “free skins aren’t good,” but after using it, they realized it feels very smooth and even improves skill accuracy. Players who didn’t get it before probably regret not completing the tasks now when they see others using it.
