I believe many players watched the three matches on the 17th. Although the outcome of some matches didn't matter, they were still very intense. On the 18th, it's the closing day of the KPL regular season's second round, featuring three matches as well. Only one match will affect the ranking of Group A.
In the three matches, the second match between WB and LGD is expected to be very fierce, as the result will lead to different outcomes.Since eStar managed to take down two games from JDG before the A/B qualification matches, they eliminated one competitor for WB. Now, the only potential threat to WB's qualification is a team with a record of 3 wins, 2 losses, and 0 net points. In this match, if WB can win just one small game, they can easily secure their spot in the S/A qualification matches. Winning the larger match would allow them to rise to A1 and face a relatively easier opponent, UUG.
LGD unexpectedly lost to JDG last week. While this does not affect their participation in the S/A qualification matches, it makes their A1 position unstable. If they lose to WB today, they will face DRG, a team they have never lost to in the S/A qualification matches, significantly reducing their chances of returning to Group S. Hopefully, tonight, the two team MVPs, Xiao Luo and Xiao Zai, who have the most carries, won’t repeat the mistakes of the last match with one going invisible and the other initiating recklessly!
RW Xia has secured their fourth victory, marking a grand finale for Group B. RNG has locked in B1 early with their four-game winning streak and will face eStar, who suffered five consecutive losses in the second round of the A/B qualification matches. TES has paid the price this season for not wanting to spend money on renewing Jiu Ku, as going through the adjustment process again has clearly not been smooth, and they can only stop at the second round this season. In the last match, winning or losing doesn't matter anymore!
The Wolf team delivered a triumphant revenge match last week, ending AG Super Play's winning streak with a score of 3-1, successfully securing third place in the regular season's Group S. Tonight's match is neither a grudge match nor under any pressure for points; will the Wolf team continue to focus on a quick victory around Xiao Pang like last time, directly claiming S1 tonight? Or will the "research activation" show us their new version understanding? Let’s wait and see.
Gong Sun Li has always been a strong hero among marksmen, known for her high damage and multiple mobility skills, leading many players to call her the "female demon shooter." So, when facing an opponent who picks Gong Sun Li in ranked matches, what can you use to counter her? Goya is arguably the best choice! Goya has high movement speed and excellent flexibility; even if Gong Sun Li uses her mobility skills to jump around, Goya can keep up with her and continuously harass her due to her high speed.
Moreover, Goya has high burst damage; first, use her ultimate to slow down Gong Sun Li, then continue to deal damage at the maximum attack range of auto-attacks. With her high movement speed, Goya can easily kill Gong Sun Li, while Gong Sun Li cannot hit Goya. Besides lane suppression, Goya's support ability is also much stronger than Gong Sun Li's; she can pressure in lane and control the tempo with low operational difficulty, making her the simplest marksman hero to counter Gong Sun Li.
