The decisive battle at the Bird’s Nest: will AG continue their dominance, or will Wolf Team achieve an incredible 1v5 championship? Wolf Team, we believe in your victory.

After waiting a whole week, the annual grand finals are finally underway. Will AG Super Play continue their dominance, or will Wolf Team claim the title against all odds?

Although AG Super Play had some close calls in the initial BO7 matches this tournament, they returned to their usual dominant form in the winner’s bracket final against WB, overwhelmingly defeating their summer finals rival 4-1 to extend their BO7 winning streak. As the most dominant team in KPL history, AG Super Play's BO7 skills are formidable, with top-tier discipline, execution, and individual talent among all five players.

Coach Zwy, though often criticized for his BP choices, has proven reliable in the finals. Tonight, the only factor that might affect them is their in-the-moment performance.

Wolf Team’s roster adjustments in the losers’ bracket have revitalized a situation that seemed nearly hopeless these past seasons. Daozai, the newly crowned KDA king returning with maturity, alongside Sakura, whose playstyle has fans exclaiming “the old captain is back,” have significantly strengthened Wolf Team’s resilience in team fights.

Even with Xiaopang’s fluctuating form, Wolf Team no longer collapses as they used to. After surviving Game 6 against DRG, they showed no fear facing WB—the only team in 2025 second only to AG Super Play—marking their official return to the championship contender tier.

Although the “Red Wolf Battle” has shifted from a balanced rivalry to one-sided dominance by the Reds, many still regard Wolf Team as the biggest threat to AG’s dynasty. Let’s see if this newly forged Wolf Team from the losers’ bracket can replicate the miracle of toppling eStar back in the day.

Daozai has rebuilt his reputation in this grand final with nearly flawless individual performances. Since the stage matches, he’s led the development lane in KDA, and during the knockout rounds, his average deaths per game even decreased to 0.6. While having the lowest average deaths among development laners, he also holds the highest average kills and ranks second only to JDG’s Jueyi in damage output share at 28.2% during the playoffs.

Tonight, besides facing off against Yinuo, Changsheng, Xuanran, Zhongyi, and even Dashuai could all be key players targeting Daozai. After a summer of growth, can Daozai withstand this final critical test?

Since transferring to AG Super Play, Zhongyi has rapidly improved and collected honors. His personal stats, championship count, and FMVP awards firmly establish him as the top active jungler. As long as Zhongyi maintains the form he showed against WB last match, AG Super Play’s foundation will be rock solid.

Xiaopang’s performance in this grand final has clearly not reached his peak, whether due to hand injuries or other factors. Once a player full of potential for explosive performances in big matches, this time Xiaopang’s key games showed not bursts of power but rather sudden collapses. Facing the even more terrifying AG dynasty tonight, can he ignite his fire once again?

Goya’s strength has surged dramatically, though many summoners remain unaware since Goya is a relatively niche hero. But once you’ve faced her, you probably won’t want a rematch. She starts with a skill that grants burst speed and sprays black sand to slow you, then uses long-range empowered basic attacks to poke, and finally retreats easily with her second skill. You can’t catch or touch her, only suffer gradual harassment.

Goya’s enhanced basic attack range is extremely long, constantly chipping away at your health safely while clearing minions with empowered attacks and skills. You have little way to counter her—wouldn’t that frustrate you?

When your health is low and you try to retreat, Goya’s ultimate creates a continuous pulling and slowing quicksand zone. Within this area, her damage output increases, making it impossible for you to fight back or escape. In short, facing Goya means her high mobility will cause most of your skills and attacks to miss, while her slows and controls trap you relentlessly, leaving you hopelessly kited.
