Group of the third round of the regular season

In the four card games of the second round, the first three games averaged a 4:0 crushing result, and the finale of the "Wolf Star" battle also ended with a big score, which is also a reflection of the differentiation of the strength of each group of teams after the arrival of the new version.

The former members of the Wolves team reunited in Group S in five ways

Interestingly, with Jinan RW Heroes and Chongqing Wolves defeating their opponents and entering Group S, the players in the team when Chongqing Wolves won multiple championships in 2021-2024 reunited in Group S.

Chongqing Wolves return to Group S

They are Suzhou KSG's Demon Knife and Jinyu, Chengdu AG Super Play Club's Zhongyi, Guangzhou TTG's Fan Fan, Jinan RW Hero's Fly, and the current Chongqing Wolves team's Xiaopang, Gui Zhi, Xiang Yu, Yisheng, these players' reunion in Group S is also nicknamed "the return of wolves" by the audience, and their upcoming competition in the third round also makes the audience look forward to it, hoping to see their high-level dialogue.

Group S winners Suzhou KSG have introduced Wolves' champion goalscorer Demon Knife this season, and have also made personnel changes in the confrontation and middle lanes - young wingers and Rangers bought in the last transfer period have already secured the starting line-up. At present, Suzhou KSG has two experienced veterans Demon Dao and Jiuku as the cornerstone of the team, Jungler Jinyu as the backbone, two young rookies charge, the team structure is very ideal, after the first two rounds of the first two rounds of the S Group top, is expected to refresh the best results in team history this season.

The Fly knife is not old

In particular, it is worth mentioning that Fly's RW Man returned to Group S, the longest-serving player in the KPL, and after joining RW Man in the spring game, the team's results were not satisfactory. The biggest variable of Jinan RW Heroes this season is the introduction of the original Suzhou KSG's auxiliary small A during the transfer period, this player also has rich experience in the competition, and Jinan RW Heroes' oldest shooter Hua Yun has formed a good linkage on the development road. In such a lineup, Fly finally reproduced the experience of "playing from Group B is interesting", he repeatedly cooperated with his teammates to kill the opponent's key heroes in the first game of the card match, and the Dharma in the second game provided stable control for the team, and the crazy iron in the last game absorbed tons of damage from the opponent, which made people sigh that the knife is not old.

The new Chongqing Wolves team in the shooter left, after the head coach was replaced with a smile, the strength did decline at the beginning of the season, but the rookie shooter Dao cub experienced two rounds of regular season and the old players after the run-in gradually improved, a smile of BP is also stable, in the card game in the face of Wuhan eStarPro was the opponent first after the next city, Chongqing Wolves won four games in a row, the return date of the perfect division of the battlefield Yalian, the chubby flexible pull Mengqi has left a deep impression on the audience, the current Chongqing Wolves are moving towards the track of revival.

"The return of the wolves" actually reflects the formation of a good inheritance mechanism in the KPL talent system, star players such as Fly and Demon Knife can use experience to help the new team grow, Mesozoic players such as Xiaopang and Jinyu can already carry the banner of the team, and young players such as the return date also have the opportunity to sit firmly in the start, it is this inheritance mechanism that injects a steady stream of vitality into the KPL event, and such a gathering of heroes is also the lively arena that the audience wants to see.

A rare off-season provides a window for Group A teams to adjust

TCG, who held a provisional seat in the KPL, was one of them, and their Group S journey was short and bitter, with no wins, and with the defeat in the card match, the team has suffered six consecutive defeats.

However, more than a month ago, TCG, who debuted on the KPL stage, also went straight to Group S with an amazing 5 consecutive wins, refreshing everyone's perception of the temporary seat team, and in a blink of an eye, they went from winning streak to losing streak, and the gap was staggering.

Since the KPL implemented the temporary seat rule, there is no shortage of teams that have impressed the audience, from the early MTG, to the XYG that later broke into the top four, and last season's Xiamen BOA, these temporary seat teams have had a bright performance, which is the KPL's way of using the catfish effect to stimulate the event ecology to accelerate metabolism, and it has indeed achieved good results, but it is the first time that such a big ups and downs like TCG has happened.

TCG's adaptability to the version is still lacking compared to the KPL veteran team

In fact, TCG's experience is in line with objective laws - as a strong team in the K League, their way of thinking and playing style is not the same as that of the KPL team, plus the introduction of the former Chengdu AG Super Play Club champion against Lu Yi'an this season, when they first arrived in the KPL arena, they could rely on a momentum to beat many teams by surprise. However, with the entry into the strong group S, the intensity of competition faced by TCG has increased sharply, and with the update of the second round of new versions, the veteran KPL teams with more mature training systems will adapt to the new version faster and quickly adjust their tactics, while it is reasonable that the less experienced TCG will have to pay more than other teams to adapt to the version update.

But TCG is still lucky, because with the KPL Dream Team going to the Saudi Arabia Esports World Cup, the third round of the summer tournament will continue on August 10, which is an unprecedented half-month offseason in the history of the KPL regular season, and it also means that every team, especially the teams in Group A who are competing for a playoff spot, have a precious adjustment window, they can calm down and think about the gains and losses, and fully prepare for the challenge of the third round.

From August 1st to 4th, the KPL Dream Team will compete against teams from other regions in the Esports World Cup (EWC). This is the first challenge of the Dream Team since its establishment, and their every move touches the hearts of domestic audiences, and whether they can adapt to the international arena and defend the honor of the KPL region will be the focus of attention in the KPL offseason.
