In the positioning match, EDG dominated RW侠, securing an easy victory; Feiniu truly seems to be aging and should consider stepping aside.

The A/B positioning matches are indeed very brutal! The losing team has to say goodbye to the summer season early. However, no one expected that the match between EDG and RW侠 would turn out to be such a one-sided affair.

In the first game, at 2 minutes, EDG's three players executed a strategy that led to a significant advantage. At 6 minutes, Dashi Ming weakened multiple opponents before taking the red buff. At 7 minutes, EDG focused their attacks and killed Yang Jian. By 9 minutes, Yang Jian managed to control two opponents, leading to RW侠's 1-for-2 exchange; the subsequent team fight resulted in a 2-for-2 trade. At 10 minutes, after EDG focused and killed Ao Yin, they traded 1-for-2 in the team fight and subsequently took the Shadow Tyrant. At 15 minutes, after EDG caused multiple opponents to fall, they pushed with the dragon minions to destroy the crystal, winning the first game!

Although EDG took the first game, RW侠 equalized in the second game. Just when everyone thought this would be an exciting BO7, RW侠 suddenly faltered!

In the third game,At 2 minutes, EDG secured first blood by executing a successful strategy. At 4 minutes, EDG took down the small tyrant. At 8 minutes, Haiyue initiated a team fight, pulling away Peiqin Hu, while teammates coordinated to secure a kill. At 11 minutes, EDG destroyed the bottom lane's first tower; later, RW侠 managed to kill two opponents, but EDG quickly counterattacked, with Charlotte achieving a four-kill streak, and ultimately, Shanghai EDG.M took another point with a decisive push!

In the fourth game,At 5 minutes, EDG secured the small tyrant, resulting in a 1-for-1 exchange. At 7 minutes, RW侠 killed two opponents in a five-on-four situation, but EDG destroyed the mid lane's first tower. At 9 minutes, RW侠 executed a strategy that led to a second small tyrant. At 10 minutes, Kai made a critical steal of the Shadow Tyrant, resulting in a 1-for-3 trade for EDG in the team fight. At 12 minutes, Kai coordinated with Xiao Qiao's second flash, with Sikong Zhen dealing massive damage, achieving a three-kill victory; EDG then pushed forward, reaching match point!

After a score of 3 to 1, coupled with the state of RW侠's players, it became clear that there was little chance for a comeback! In the fourth game, EDG easily secured the win, finishing the match with a total score of 4 to 1!EDG confirmed their spot in Group A of the third round of the 2025 summer season regular season, while RW侠 regrettably stopped here, missing out on the 2025 KPL summer season regular season third round and playoffs.

After this loss, it marks Feiniu's third time in his career missing the playoffs! It must be acknowledged that Feiniu's current performance pales in comparison to younger players, and perhaps it is time for him to consider stepping aside!

I wonder if anyone has noticed that after the update in Season S40, Leixiao's win rate has quietly risen! This season, Leixiao has become a dark horse in the meta, with a current win rate soaring to 54%. Leixiao's strength is closely related to the equipment of this season. The enhancement of lifesteal ratio from the Apocalypse allows Leixiao to completely abandon the Bloodthirsty Blade, and Apocalypse not only replaces the lifesteal from Bloodthirsty Blade but also significantly increases Leixiao's damage with its high attack speed bonus.

The new addition of attack speed bonus to Master’s Power successfully enables Leixiao to use it in place of Shadow Blade, allowing for a replacement of equipment that maintains Leixiao's original sustainability while significantly boosting burst damage. Moreover, Leixiao is not weak himself; the high burst damage from his first skill makes his dueling damage nearly unbeatable, and in the late game, no one dares to withstand a complete first skill from Leixiao.
