TTG can defeat AG, but they are not the favorites to win the championship and cannot end their seven-game losing streak against KSG, making their chances of winning the title bleak.

After a three-day break, the schedule for the ninth round of the 2025 KPL Summer Split regular season continues! On the 6th, there are two matches, one in Group A and one in Group S. Naturally, the match in Group S is the one to watch!

In the first match of the third round last week, Qingjiu came from behind to defeat their old neighbors RNG from Group B last season, achieving a winning start with a record of 1 win, 0 losses, and a net score of +2, tying for first place in Group A with EDG and JDG. In this match, the jungle player Anqi's Nezha, along with the marksman Mo Leng's Goya and Sun Shangxiang, made quite an impression. If they can achieve a double victory over EDG tonight, Qingjiu will be well on their way to the playoffs this season.

EDG also secured a significant 3-1 victory last week. As a team in the second round of the A/B placement matches, they easily defeated UUG, who dropped down from the S/A placement matches. It can be said that although EDG's performance fluctuated in the second round, their foundation remains solid. Whether it's Coach Aisi's draft strategy in this match or Xiaoze's consecutive MVP performances, there's a lot of anticipation for EDG in the third round. Tonight's revenge match will reveal whether they can claim the top spot in Group A from Qingjiu.

The second match is the spotlight battle between TTG and KSG!KSG narrowly lost 2-3 to the Wolves last week, failing to secure their winning start for the three rounds. However, in terms of the match quality, both teams presented a high-level showdown. From the previous jungle core Nakoruru to the economic powerhouse Ying Zheng in the first position last week, and finally to the long-awaited roaming Sun Ce in the deciding game, it must be said that Coach Ziqi's arrival has significantly enriched KSG's gameplay this season.

While the team's performance has clearly improved compared to the spring season, the overall excitement of the matches is several levels higher than last year's frequent 20-minute turtle games.

After a missed opportunity against Saudi Arabia with a 3-1 loss, TTG returned to claim a swift 3-0 victory over WB, who just rejoined Group S. From just over 15 minutes in the first game to 13 minutes and 9 seconds in the final game, they won each match faster than the last, showcasing a brutal display. Although TTG may still lack some polish compared to AG Super Play Club, calling them a championship contender this season is certainly justified.

However, TTG has suffered seven consecutive losses against KSG, and if they cannot win this match, their chances of winning the championship will be significantly diminished!

In Honor of Kings, the mage class is generally perceived as fragile by players. However, some mages have been played as tanks, becoming even tougher than Zhang Fei, with Hainuo being a prime example! Hainuo's first ability launches a laser over a long distance, dealing damage to enemies, and the more enemies present, the more lasers are fired, while also significantly reducing cooldowns. If all five enemies are grouped together, Hainuo's first ability can be used almost without cooldown.

Even without building tank items, Hainuo is tougher than Zhang Fei because in melee mode, his first ability's boomerang has a powerful healing effect. In melee mode, his second ability can increase both defenses by 200 and heal 900+12% of his maximum health, effectively doubling the healing effect when switching forms. Hainuo's healing ability surpasses that of Cheng Yaojin and is tougher than Zhang Fei; even if ten opponents come, they can't take down a fully equipped Hainuo.
