After Yi Nuo's return, AG ended the second round with two consecutive losses, while JDG narrowly secured a victory to keep their playoff hopes alive, and KSG topped S1.

The three matches on July 18 were indeed exciting, running from 2 PM until 11:30 PM. The most captivating match was certainly the third one, featuring AG Super Play against TTG!

Before this match, both AG Super Play and TTG had already secured their spots in the playoffs! As a result, many fans speculated that the teams might take it easy, with AG Super Play expected to win. However, once the match began, both sides played with great seriousness.

Initially, it was thought that after Yi Nuo's return and following their previous loss to the Wolf Team, AG would have a strong comeback. However, against a focused TTG, AG Super Play found it hard to gain any advantage. The match went the full five games, with TTG ultimately winning 3-2, forcing AG to end the second round with two consecutive losses! AG displayed several shortcomings in this match, and it’s hoped they can quickly adapt to the new version!

Losing is just a loss for AG; it doesn't significantly affect them, only costing them the top spot in Group S! However, the outcome of the match between JDG and eStar held a different significance for JDG! If JDG lost, they would have to compete in the A/B placement matches. Whether they could emerge from those matches remained uncertain. Therefore, JDG had only one path to avoid placement matches: defeating eStar!

Despite the tough match, JDG did not disappoint, narrowly defeating eStar with a total score of 3-2. With this victory, JDG secured their spot in Group A and now has a chance to reach the playoffs for the first time!

In fact, the match between KSG and DRG could have resulted in two different outcomes. If DRG had managed to sweep KSG while AG also swept TTG, DRG would have made a miraculous comeback to qualify for the playoffs, sending TTG to the placement matches! However, DRG failed to perform, not only failing to sweep KSG but also losing 3-1.

As a result, the situation in Group S has been confirmed: KSG, AG Super Play, TTG, and the Wolf Team remain in Group S, while DRG and UUG will compete in the placement matches!

The S40 season has passed for some time, but many players remain uncertain about the strength of the new hero Sun Quan, leading them to hesitate to play him in ranked matches. In reality, Sun Quan is quite popular in high-level matches. His win rate is not high mainly because many players are not familiar with his mechanics. However, with practice and understanding of Sun Quan's skills, he can be quite strong.

Sun Quan can use his ranged form to poke enemies while also switching to melee form for high burst damage. Additionally, his ultimate can be controlled by dragging the movement key, allowing continuous movement to chase down enemies. Even against heroes like Han Xin, who have multiple mobility skills, Sun Quan's ultimate can consistently follow Han Xin to deal damage. There are many operational techniques, but once mastered, achieving the rank of King is not too difficult.
