Can KSG stop WB’s 13-game cross-season winning streak in major matches? Can Jindan lead DYG to their first victory in Group S?

The three matches on the 10th were likely very disappointing for many. The three matches on the 11th, however, are expected to be thrilling and fierce, particularly because two involve Group S teams.

WB dominated DYG with a 3-0 sweep in their Group S debut, continuing their flawless 100% win record in major matches this season. Combining this with earlier cup results, WB’s cross-season winning streak in major matches has extended to 12 straight victories. Alongside their surprising picks in the BP phase, multiple positions have demonstrated solid fallback capabilities. For example, in the second game against DYG, Zimo single-handedly scored 9-0 with more than 40% damage contribution, allowing his teammates to relax—a truly remarkable performance.

KSG was swept 3-0 by Wolf Team last week, ending their winning streak in major matches. The team relied heavily on their mid-jungle-support trio in the first round, but they were completely shut down by Wolf Team, showing almost no chance of winning across the three games. Now, facing the reigning cup champions WB today, KSG’s schedule this year has been extremely tough. Hopefully, they can show a better performance than last time.

DRG lost 2-3 in a crucial points match against LGD and currently holds a 1-1 record with a net score of 2, ranking third in Group B. Based on the standings, LGD has basically secured a spot in the A/B qualifier. Meanwhile, with eStar on a winning streak, the fight for second place has become more interesting. If DRG wants to avoid an early exit this season, winning today’s match is absolutely essential.

As for Wuxi TCG, after several unsuccessful attempts to rotate their offlaner recently, their journey back to the KPL seems to be nearing its end. Having already lost two consecutive matches, a comeback is almost impossible; now it’s just a matter of whether they can at least secure a consolation win in the remaining three games.

DYG was naturally expected to lose 0-3 to the top seed WB in their Group S opener. If they can defeat Qingjiu, DYG could still hope for a top-four finish in Group S during the holiday period. However, if they lose, the spots for the S/A qualifier will basically be decided.

Since being promoted to Group S, Qingjiu has unfortunately followed the same script as TCG and VG in previous years. They were crushed 0-3 by KSG in their first match and suffered a 1-3 loss to TTG last week. Without facing WB and Wolf Team yet, they have already locked themselves into the S/A qualifier. This match against DYG might be their last chance to claim their first win in Group S this round.

Recently, offlaner Xiang Yu has been incredibly strong, especially in high-level ranked games where his win rate even surpasses that of Lü Bu, making him the undisputed top offlaner. Xiang Yu’s first skill knocks enemies back and briefly knocks them up for 0.5 seconds; after using it, his basic attacks are enhanced and can crit. His second skill slows enemies, and when empowered, he gains movement speed and some health regeneration. His ultimate stuns enemies for 0.75 seconds, deals more damage the lower his health is, and converts 20% of that damage into his own healing.

The key is that while Xiang Yu uses his ultimate, he gains an unyielding effect, making him immune to death during that time—identical to the effect of the famous “Immortal Blade.” Essentially, he comes with a built-in Immortal Blade. With Xiang Yu’s current strength, anyone who hasn’t reached King rank yet can definitely use him to climb steadily and safely.
