New Year and new atmosphere, just the ninth day of the New Year, the 2022 KPL Spring Race kicked off, the entire schedule is more tense, the first round of competition, each match day is three bo5, for friends who like to watch the game can be full of fun. The opening match is full of highlights, by Guangzhou TTG against Wuhan eStarPro.
After more than a month of rest and adjustment, the two teams have different size changes, the TTG team changed coaches, and the opponent Lu Xiaodai Kiyoshi was absent from the starting lineup due to the epidemic, and Yinan played. The eStarPro was the original squad for last fall's Challenger Cup winner.

First of all, from the perspective of the two lineups, there is still a gap in paper strength, because Qingqing did not play, so that TTG's confrontation road is less dominant, and eStarPro can be said to be the most dominant team in recent competitions. The results of the game also speak for themselves.
In all four innings, TTG struggled to win the next one. In the first game, TTG won the opening red, Yi Nan's old master's thinking is very clear, whether it is with the line or the group, Yi Nan has done a very good job, it can be seen that he cherishes this starting opportunity. In the team battle, Lan stared at the sea of flowers, leaving it with no room to play, creating an opportunity for the victory of TTG. Yinan also won the MVP of this game as desired, and for TTTG fans, Yinan's starter also makes people feel at ease, and Qingqing can rest assured that he can take a vacation.

Of course, in the first game, it can be seen that eStar has a slightly light enemy component, the team battle process is relatively rough, or there is some impetuosity, and it was overturned by TTG in the case of three-way highland forced, resulting in the hasty end of the first game. But it was the opening defeat that woke up eStar.
In the next three games, eStar immediately adjusted its state to win three consecutive games, and won the 2022KPL opener with relative ease. Breaking the curse of the defending champion of the KPL's long-held opener: the defending champion opener must lose. For example, Hero, DYG, and TS have not escaped this "spell", and eStarPro has successfully broken this spell.
After more than a month of off-season, both players are in urgent need of adjustment, for the starters of the opening game, more test is which side is in better shape, it is clear that eStarPro is doing better, and even can be said to be "everyone highlight", the MVP of the three games is different.
In the second game, the MVP confronted the road players calmly, and the one-handed Ma Chao stole the house to amaze everyone, which is the suppression force from the FMVP.
(MVP Frank)
In the third inning, the MVP played Wildflower Sea.
But TTG's otherwise can be said to be defeated, it is a pity, Lan won five kills, but also the first five kills of this KPL, but that wave of regiments and battles both sides are destroyed, otherwise the result is really difficult to say.
(MVP Flower Sea)
Fourth innings MVP auxiliary Ziyang.
In addition to the auxiliary, the debut of The Sea of Flowers is also interesting.
(MVP Ziyang)
Whether it is the winner's eStar Pro, or the loser's TTG, whether it is the player who got the MVP or the player who did not get the MVP, their performance is equally wonderful. Although after a long rest, the game still quickly entered the state, and the team cooperation was relatively good.
Throughout the game, the playing style and system of the two sides did not change much, and the eStar's suppression made TTG look a little breathless. Instead of Qingqing's starting, Yinan still has some shortcomings, the team is slightly inferior, Andenan is easily rubbed by opponents, which may be the reason why Qingqing can stabilize the starting lineup. In addition, the new coach of TTG seems to be a bit of a fan, not to make too many evaluations, and to continue to wait and see the follow-up games.
This is just a game win or loss, it does not say anything, the whole spring game still has a long way to go, whether it is TTG or eStarPro, the follow-up performance is still expected.
