Following Jiang Jiu's elimination, the playoffs were left with just six S-group teams. It was anticipated that matches among S-group teams would be fiercely competitive and exciting. Yet surprisingly, the match between Wolf Team and KSG turned out to be heavily one-sided!
In the first match,At 2:20, a one-for-one team fight took place on the top lane. At 7:30, KSG grouped at the bottom lane to kill Charlotte. At 8 minutes, Gongsun Li seized an opportunity in the bottom lane to kill Cang. At 10:10, after both sides contested the dragon, Wolf Team rushed to the Shadow Lord, killed Su Lie, and took down the mid lane tower. At 13:50, Wolf Team launched an attack at the Shadow Tyrant, but KSG counterattacked promptly; Cang secured a double kill, KSG won the team fight one-for-two, and took the Shadow Tyrant. At 15:10, Wolf Team initiated a fight on the top lane, achieving a flawless team fight with zero losses and took down the upper and mid lane inhibitors. At 15:50, Wolf Team destroyed the crystal and won the first game.
In the second match,At 4 minutes in the bottom lane, KSG’s decision was fatal. They tried to catch Guiqi on the top lane, using all their skills, but their teleport was countered one by one, allowing Little Fat’s Tiger to grow stronger. KSG could have taken advantage of Wolf Team's tower dive mistake to slow down the game, but a disjointed dragon fight at 10 minutes occurred again. The key factor was Feng Xiao’s Di Renjie with a resurrection armor output. Wolf Team won this fight, pushed with dragon soldiers, destroyed the crystal, and took a 2-0 lead!
In the third match,At 4:20, Wolf Team secured the first minor tyrant. At 4:40, Wolf Team invaded the red zone, but KSG’s multiple players countered and won a one-for-four team fight, delaying the opponent’s momentum. At 9:20, both sides clashed in the red zone; Wolf Team achieved a flawless team fight with zero losses and invaded the blue zone. At 10:10, Wolf Team took the Shadow Tyrant. At 15 minutes, after securing the Shadow Tyrant, Wolf Team launched an attack, pushed the minion wave into the tower, destroyed the crystal, and reached match point first.
After going up 3-0, no one believed KSG could make a comeback; however, KSG won one game to avoid a clean sweep. In the fourth match,Wolf Team started strong with the rhythm set by Purple Illusion Xi Shi, capitalizing on KSG’s repeated mistakes. Near 10 minutes, Guiqi’s Lu Bu executed a four-kill ambush with Moonlit Mirage. Wolf Team’s momentum was relentless, giving Kuaishou almost no chance and pushing steadily all the way.
4-1After defeating their opponent, Wolf Team secured their spot in the losers' bracket semifinals! They will face the winner between WB and LGD on August 30th to compete for a place in the losers' bracket finals!
Has anyone noticed that the hero Zhuang Zhou has almost no counters? Zhuang Zhou is very tanky and gains damage reduction when activating his ultimate, so Donghuang Taiyi dares not absorb him; if he does, teammates criticize him for poor play. Moreover, Zhuang Zhou’s passive helps him break control effects, and his first and third skills can also dispel control, allowing him to ignore any crowd control. Mozi’s control is essentially ineffective against Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou’s damage is also very high; his second skill’s damage stacks continuously, and late game he can even solo kill enemy marksmen. He has no counters: immune to control, hard to damage, high movement speed, and can escape even when surrounded by five enemies. No wonder his ban rate is so high. Truly, no one can counter him. Can anyone find a hero that counters Zhuang Zhou?
