Could Xuanran be the first to mark the end of AG Dynasty? The annual finals loan of FMVP offlaner, the key to WB's championship victory

Although AG's performance in the summer split was not as strong as in the spring, AG still leveraged its solid foundation to advance to the summer finals! This marks AG's eighth consecutive finals appearance! This time, AG's opponent in the finals is WB. Naturally, most predictions still favor AG to win, given their strong playoff performance!

However, WB is not without chances; after all, WB defeated AG Super Play in the regular season. Having fought through the losers' bracket with three consecutive wins, WB's momentum has clearly risen! Recently, some netizens revealed that AG has already borrowed FMVP offlaner Tanran for the annual finals starting on September 28!

Upon reading this, many fans are wondering why AG would loan an offlaner? Last year, AG did not borrow any player for the annual finals. The Challenger Cup loan of Xiaoyu was only because Yinuo needed rest!

As everyone knows, the annual finals carry more prestige than the KPL, both in prize money and honor. Therefore, AG Super Play will definitely go all out to claim the championship. Borrowing Tanran indicates that AG's coaching staff, after reviewing the summer split matches, identified the offlane as their weakest link and decided to bring in an experienced and capable player as a precaution!

Indeed, judging by Xuanran’s performance in the regular season and playoffs, he made no mistakes but also showed no standout moments. Compared to the spring split, his form seems to have declined!

So, can WB exploit Xuanran’s position to gain an advantage in the finals? It’s possible. But to say Xuanran is incapable would be unfair. Official stats comparing Xuanran and Zimo show their numbers are quite similar.

Therefore, WB will need to study more carefully to break through Xuanran’s lane! Although Xuanran has won several championships and WB’s Zimo has none, Zimo’s 12 million valuation is well deserved — his worth exceeds even his price tag!

Arthur’s strength is lacking, and Yuan Ge’s mechanics aren’t great, which is understandable. But if you can’t play Cao Cao, that’s really hard to excuse! Currently, Cao Cao is simple to operate yet very powerful. His sword energy and second skill heal upon hitting enemies, the first skill offers triple mobility, and his ultimate removes control effects while speeding up sword slashes. Once the ultimate is activated, he becomes nearly invincible; just sticking close with the first skill to output sword energy is very strong.

Moreover, since Cao Cao’s first skill allows three dashes, combined with the Flash summoner spell, fragile heroes caught by him have no chance to escape. He can reliably kill enemy damage dealers and warrior heroes. His strength is on par with other Tier 0 heroes, but his operation difficulty is much lower. It makes perfect sense that Cao Cao is a top-tier hero in the Peak Duel meta!
