KPL Preview for the 29th: Who Will Secure the S Group Spot Between DYG and WE? Can Feiniu Lead eStar to End Their Three-Game Losing Streak?

The first round of the 2026 KPL Spring Season has reached its final week. Consequently, the competition is becoming increasingly intense! The most anticipated match on the 29th is the showdown between DYG and WE, two former leaders of Group B! However, this time they are not fighting for a spot in Group B, but for a place in Group S! Did anyone expect this situation before the match?

WE has risen strongly this season. The arrival of the promising rookie Zhao Jue and the impressive teamfight performance of Yi An after transitioning to a roaming role have turned WE’s lower half into their current major strength. The newcomer on the solo lane, Wen Tao, also showed great dominance when matched against Xiao Du, the runner-up solo laner from the Challenger Cup.

The improvement on both sides has transformed WE from a Group B staple into this season’s dark horse. With only matches left against DYG and Wolf Team, both crucial battles for the S Group spot, let’s see if WE can complete their leap from “18 consecutive losses in big matches” to making it into Group S.

DYG has delivered their best first-round performance in recent years this season. After a dominant 3-0 win over LGD last week, DYG stands first with a 3-1 record and a +5 score difference, securing their place above Group B for this round. The veteran-newbie mid-support duo, Xiang Yu and Luo Kong, has clearly boosted DYG’s core strength. Following the Challenger Cup and into the Spring Season, the team’s operations and coordination have visibly improved.

Whoever wins this match will clinch a spot in Group S!

Since the second half of 2025, EDG has frequently changed head coaches. Despite several new coaches, they consistently kept the top-mid-jungle lineup stable while rotating the marksman and support roles. However, from the Challenger Cup to the current Spring Season, EDG’s attempts to innovate around the marksman and support haven’t yielded much success. Losing to TCG in this match means relegation to Group B!

After a brief strong showing with two good games in the opening match, Wuxi TCG has fallen into a losing streak, losing 1-3 in their last two games. Both teams currently have zero wins and three losses in big matches. The winner today will keep a slim chance alive, while the loser will become the second team after LGD to be locked into Group B.

After a series of ugly losses in previous matches, eStar has completely abandoned the so-called “command center” Ming tonight, starting the rookie mid laner Hao Hao who was rotated in last game, and deploying the new jungler Yu Yi. Let’s see if these changes in the two key rhythm positions of mid and jungle can bring some fresh momentum to eStar.

Hero JiuJing regained form last week by defeating KSG and JDG consecutively, stabilizing their group ranking. Currently at 2-1 with zero net wins, they sit fourth in the group. As long as Hero JiuJing beats eStar by any score, both DRG and eStar will be sent down to Group B.

King of Glory recently launched a voting event for the return of the Wushuang skin companions. The top six skins with the most votes will be featured again in the Spring Festival Wushuang skin wish event. Within just one day, the first place has already been secured! The Monkey King’s popularity is truly overwhelming — in any vote related to him, he almost always leads by a wide margin, and this time is no exception.

The Monkey King’s “Great Sage Equal to Heaven” skin was previously the top choice in the ninth anniversary return skin vote, and this time it won’t be any lower. This skin is very popular, featuring an impressive ultimate that summons a stone statue of the Monkey King with stunning effects, and the enhanced basic attacks feel very smooth. Don’t miss out if it returns.
