Beijing News (reporter Zhao Xue) On January 6, the second half of the 2021 King Glory Challenger Cup 1/4 final, Foshan GK4 defeated the old rival Chongqing Wolves 2 to advance to the top 4.
In the recent 2021 Kings glory world championship cup finals, Wolves (formerly QGhappy) beat GK 4-2 to win the Golden Phoenix Cup. This battle was seen as a "sequel to the World Championship" and received much attention before the game.
Judging from the game statistics of GK and Wolves alone, the latter has a greater chance of winning. The two teams have met 17 times in history, with GK winning only 3 times. Among them, the two sides have experienced a total of 2 BO7 (seven sets and four wins) duels, and GK has not tasted a single victory. However, after the baptism of the 2021 KPL (Glory of Kings Professional League) Autumn Tournament and the Challenger Cup Selection, GK has made obvious progress and the feel is even hotter.
In the first two innings of the game, GK gave Wolves a dismount and scored two consecutive points. The Wolves, who gradually stabilized their positions, used the ma chao + Agudo system in the 3rd game, and the 4 people in the decider group dragged the GK large troops, Peng Yunfei (ID: Fly) led the soldiers to infiltrate the GK highlands to push off the crystal, and the Wolves pulled back a round.
Returning from halftime, GK and Wolves each won one to take a 3-2 lead. In the 6th set, facing GK with match points in hand, Wolves unexpectedly chose Ming Shiyin in the wandering position, with the development road hero Li Yuanfang, this lineup helped them get the early advantage. In the middle and late stages of the game, with only one highland tower left, GK forced the group through the Storm Dragon King, killed Peng Yunfei, who wanted to "steal the family" again, and quickly pushed the tower with the soldier line to complete the headwind overturn. In the end, GK4 was more than 2 successful in "revenge".
In the post-match interview, GK player Lu Jiapeng (ID: Pengpeng) said that he was more excited to achieve the goal of advancing to the top 4. He said that because the team was at a disadvantage in the last set, he had been looking for opportunities and was very happy to be able to turn the tables in the end. Referring to the unpopular hero Ming Shiyin used by Wolves, Lu Jiapeng admitted that it is indeed rare to encounter in training, "but no matter what hero they choose, we will play our own first." ”
Shortly after GK's victory, Guangzhou TTG, which was also in the lower half, followed easily to defeat the opponent and advance to the final four. According to the schedule, the two teams will fight on the evening of January 9 to compete for tickets to the finals.
