The opener of the Challenger Cup will be started by XYG and GK, and these two teams also have a long history in KPL Autumn Tournament. XYG suffered a four-game losing streak in the third round of Group S, and finally drew against GK at the end of the regular season. It is precisely because of the victory of this game that XYG is in full swing, and with the tenacious will and invincible belief of the players, it successfully broke into the KPL semi-finals. Although XYG kept the temporary seat of KPL Spring Tournament, its position was far inferior to that of Autumn Tournament, so the opener of Challenger Cup was very important for XYG and GK.
The competition between XYG and GK will be a contest to play the wild position. At present, KPL is still a wild version, and in addition to driving the team's early rhythm, the most critical skill of wild players is to control dragons to expand the team's advantages. If TTG is not the owner of the autumn dragon, then XYG September and GK Pumbaa should be the owners of the dragon. When Pumbaa was in the crown of the world, he exposed the problem of insufficient dragon control ability. In the autumn knockout, TTG successfully grabbed two other dragons. On the other hand, XYG reached the semi-finals of KPL. It was possible to reach the semi-finals, but it was defeated by the other team's dragon control ability. After a BO7, XYG was robbed of five dragon kings by TTG in September, including three storm dragon kings. And this scene, also deeply stings to understand that Pumbaa.
XYG took a temporary seat in the qualifying KPL, and teammates took turns to grab the dragon, but in September, they maintained a low dragon control attribute. So at present, the ability of catching dragons in September and Pumbaa should be evenly matched. Therefore, whether September and Pumbaa, the two dragon masters, can become each other's saviors depends on the performance of this game. And as we said, BO 1 is full of instability, and sudden cooling may occur at any time. Just like in the trials of the 2020 Winter Championship, the KPL team QGhappy lost to the XYG team as a national competition at that time on BO 1, and there were two surprises in succession. So do you think there will be a situation in the challenger cup qualifier? Do you think KPL team will lose to K-A team or national team? Welcome to discuss together in the comments section.
