The second week of the KPL Spring Regular Season is still in progress, with Beijing WB and Shanghai EDGM dueling. Both teams are in Group B. Many viewers may think that Beijing WB can kill indiscriminately in Group B this season, after all, they spent a lot of money to introduce Qiao Xi, Zi Mo and Xingyu in the offseason, but the state of Shanghai EDGM in this game is quite good, and it has been fighting with WB until the fifth set, and finally WB still won the game without any danger.
There may be more spectators who are optimistic about WB before this game, but I have also revealed to you before that this season's EDGM is not weak at all, and they can no longer be regarded as the former Shanghai Doubles, they are much stronger than RNGM. The first game EDGM also showed a strong fighting ability, directly to the next city. In fact, the second set of WB played very hard, in the case of the horse core system, the early stage has always been a headwind, or rely on Zi Mo's last wave of four kills to win, it seems that the "list" of this B group is not so easy to play.
The two teams then won one set each, dragging the game all the way to the decider. Beijing WB came up with a combination of Taiyi Zhenren and Sun Shangxiang, a classic combination that has recently re-ignited after a long silence. EDGM took out the armor to fight the wild, which is also relatively rare. Beijing WB has established a relatively large advantage from the early stages and has been slowly snowballing. Although EDGM is also trying to find opportunities, WB is not in a hurry at all, that is, pushing forward little by little, pushing off the three-way high ground and still pulling with the Storm Dragon King, and finally winning the game without any danger.
After winning this game, Beijing WB has won three consecutive wins, and entering Group A has basically stabilized. Such a situation is actually similar to what everyone thought before the game, we all know that Beijing WB is ready to make efforts this season, and there is no reason to stay in Group B after spending so much money. However, there is still a certain gap between WB's performance and everyone's expectations, they have had a hard time beating RNGM and EDGM, and they have not shown too much dominance in Group B.
WB's current game gives people the feeling of relying more on individual ability, if the team battle, they may not be afraid of other teams, after all, Zi Mo used to be known for operation when he was in the artar, and Qiao Xi's operation is also very good, especially the displacement shooter is very dare to play. As for Hanamaki and NuanYang, they are also veteran players, and they have a lot of experience in the competition. But their overall run-in is not yet optimal, which is what they lack now.
Many commentators have commented that beijing WB's current state has no problem rushing into group A, but their state may not have any advantage when facing group A team, and it is even more difficult to rush into group S. Now the team with better performance in group A is AG Super Play club and Xi'an WE, it seems that the play is more organized than WB, after the first stage TES is likely to fall into group A, the other team may be GK, XYG or TTG, WB no matter which team is facing it is difficult to take advantage, but also have to come up with better performance.
What do you think is the current level of Beijing WB? Feel free to discuss it in the comments section.
