What a thrilling match! Truly spectacular! The playoff opener delivered an incredibly exciting game for the fans! When JDG was down 1-3, it seemed like the entire internet had given up on them! However, JDG never gave up on themselves. Led by Fearless’s consecutive MVP performances, JDG came back from behind to win 3-3 and advance to the second round of the playoffs!

In the fourth game,At 1 minute, Nakoruru timely supported the top lane and secured first blood by finishing off the low-health Kuangtie. At 10 minutes, JDG took the Shadow Tyrant, with Goya and Kuangtie both achieving double kills. At 13 minutes, Nakoruru flanked and coordinated with teammates to ambush and kill two enemies. At 17 minutes, Nakoruru again flanked and helped the team wipe out the opponents. At 18 minutes, Kongkong crucially controlled Nakoruru, enabling the team to deal damage and push with the minion wave to break the crystal, leveling the score!

In the fifth game,Today, JDG was very decisive invading DRG’s jungle. Before Dreamlan’s Shouyue could fully gear up, Yuantan was hard to engage, and Yang Jian posed a big threat. In team fights, Qingrong’s Zhenji control greatly limited DRG’s entry, but DRG used Da Qiao to continuously kite. The critical moment was the 18-minute fight where four Bao Lianpo held off the enemy, single-handedly disrupting JDG’s formation.

The comeback continued as Qingyu’s Yang Jian used Lianpo as a springboard to instantly kill Da Qiao. At this point, DRG was outnumbered four to five. Dreamlan’s Shouyue tried a surprise flank on the Wind Dragon, but failed. We must say, Jinyu’s Yuantan really stood strong. After JDG took down DRG’s three carries, they moved on to the second Wind Dragon. In that team fight, DRG shouldn’t have contested the dragon’s blood; Fearless’s Sangqi’s crucial strike ended the game.

Tied 3-3, both sides entered the ultimate showdown, marking the first peak match of this KPL Summer Split! Unexpectedly, the lineups of both teams were exactly the same! AndThe last time a mirror peak match lineup appeared was in the 2021 Spring Finals, when Fearless jungled and Qingrong mid secured their second consecutive championship with Hero.

This time, Fearless and Qingrong joined forces once more to help JDG win the peak match and advance to the second round of the losers’ bracket in the playoffs. Congratulations to JDG!

Due to the new skin, Yuange’s pick rate has increased! Although Yuange is strong in the current meta, Charlotte is very effective against him. First, Charlotte’s ultimate grants invulnerability, so even if caught by Yuange’s puppet control, she can quickly use her ultimate to break free.

Charlotte’s second skill is a displacement ability that lets her change attack targets, avoiding interference from Yuange’s puppets and allowing her to focus on Yuange himself. Moreover, Charlotte’s Seven-Star Radiant Slash has an execution effect that can quickly eliminate Yuange’s puppets. Her early game sustain is strong, making it easy to dominate Yuange.
