Who still claims TTG is tanking? DRG is actually the team that performed worst, losing after a reverse sweep and missing out on the S group entirely.

TTG shocked everyone by beating the Challenger Cup third-place Hero JiuJing 3-1 in their opener. Their toughest opponent in the group stage remains DRG, who knocked them out twice last year in the finals and the Challenger Cup! DRG went 1-1 last week, and their promising new jungler, XiaoXiaoYang, is still noticeably in the adaptation phase and hasn’t shown anything remarkable so far.

However, in this Guangzhou-Foshan showdown, DRG initially took a 2-0 lead, but TTG managed to pull off a huge comeback!

In the third game, TTG launched their counterattack! TTG’s frontline-heavy lineup was tough for DRG to handle early on. For DRG to gain an advantage early, they needed to execute two key points: first, Xishi had to reliably pull enemies and coordinate with teammates to focus fire and eliminate targets; second, the two big heroes, Yang Jian, had to make plays in the jungle to suppress Da Siming. But from the match flow, neither of these points materialized in the early game.

In the late game, once LoBu’s Lao Fu Zi gained tankiness, DRG found it even harder to compete. From mid-game onward, DRG’s vision was basically shut down. Lao Fu Zi’s triple bindings on Doria directly ended the match.

In the fourth game, at 2 minutes, a team fight broke out at the river where TTG counterattacked and secured a 2-for-0 exchange. At 5 minutes, Xiao Qiao’s crucial control helped Foshan DRG focus fire to kill Yang Yuhuan. At 7 minutes, a mid-lane team fight erupted, with DRG countering and trading one for two. At 9 minutes, Lian Po initiated the fight, and TTG secured a 2-for-0 team fight victory.

At 10 minutes, TTG took the Shadow Tyrant, with Gongsun Li in an excellent damage position scoring a double kill. TTG then continued to chase and killed another enemy. By 12 minutes, TTG used the dragon soldier to break through the mid lane high ground. At 15 minutes, TTG capitalized on the opponent’s continuous losses and pushed the minion wave to break the crystal, leveling the series and forcing a deciding game.

In the final game, TTG provided solid protection for Xiao Xue’s Sun Shangxiang, with Xishi on one side, Taiyi Zhenren on the other, and Xiahou Dun holding the frontline. In the late game, Charlotte acted as a secondary carry. By around 10 minutes, Xiao Xue’s Sun Shangxiang had nearly 3,000 gold lead over Cang.

For DRG to break through TTG’s heavy protection and kill Sun Shangxiang, what kind of coordination would be required? It seemed almost impossible. In the last bottom lane fight, whenever TTG noticed Guan Yu was missing, Charlotte immediately sought his position, leaving DRG with no chance at all.

With a 3-2 victory, TTG completed a tough reverse sweep against DRG and secured their second consecutive win in the spring split! After watching this match, who would still say TTG is tanking? If anyone is truly tanking, it’s DRG! Losing like this means the spring championship is already out of their reach!

Recently, Yu Ji has become a T0 pick again with a 21.9% pick rate and a 51.7% win rate! Yu Ji has held the T0 marksman spot for three consecutive seasons, becoming a must-practice hero for the farming lane. She can dominate Sun Quan in lane—because Sun Quan’s damage is purely physical and poses no threat to Yu Ji. The same applies to Sun Shangxiang, whose damage is also purely physical and cannot reach Yu Ji when she activates her second skill. Against Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang, Yu Ji can easily suppress them. Recommended build: Attack Speed Boots, Electric Blade, Mortal’s Reminder, Dawn Breaker, Infinity Edge, and Shadow Blade. The last item can also be swapped for Sunfire Bow.
