KSG's 2-1 victory over eStar sent their opponents to two consecutive defeats and win their first cup win
The second round of the Challenger Cup kicked off with a showdown between Wuhan eStarPro and Suzhou KSG. I have to say that the luck of these two teams in this cup is not generally bad, the first round of eStar encountered the summer champion Guangzhou TTG, was kept clean sheet by the opponent, KSG was also kept clean sheet by Chengdu AG Super Play, and in the second round they met again, two consecutive rounds are playing KPL civil war, how back can be imagined.
This match is not a mistake for both sides, because of the special mechanism of the Swiss round, if anyone suffers two consecutive defeats, it will be very difficult to turn around and re-qualify for the quarter-finals. The focus of the battle between eStar and KSG is in the upper half, with both Tan Ran and Aze being famous for their tanbe, and Hanami and Imayu both focusing on wild cores. It is worth mentioning that Jinyu also worked as teammates with Hua Hai on eStar, and what kind of sparks can be created when old teammates meet now is also very exciting.
In the first game, Pei Tiger of Jinyu first countered the red buff, and then killed the calm Yalian to get a blood, followed by Ziyang's bull demon group, Qingrong's Shangguan Wan'er got a double kill, and eStar successfully stopped the loss. In the mid-term, the two sides reached a stalemate after 1-for-1, and eStar won the tyrant in 10 minutes, and the two sides played 1-for-1 in a row. In 14 minutes, eStar won the dominance and first pushed the second tower, and then killed the opponent Wang Zhaojun and Tiger on the next road, taking advantage of the difference in numbers, and Qingrong won the first MVP.
In the second game, eStar came up with the Big Joe bilateral system. In the early stage, the two sides developed steadily, and KSG first pushed the opponent a tower in the middle. In 6 minutes, the KSG four started the group in the middle to play 0-for-2, while eStar Ueno caught Ah Ze's Arien on the way to stop the loss in time. In the medium term, KSG played two consecutive waves of 0-for-2, gradually widening the economic gap. Gongsun Li of the decisive group Xiaojiu won a double kill, and the KSG team successfully equalized the score by destroying the opponent.
In the third game, eStar kills Xiaojiu's Sun Shangxiang to get a blood, and KSG stops Miyamoto Musashi, who leaves a sea of flowers on the road. In the medium term, team battles broke out frequently on both sides, but neither the economy nor the number of defensive towers were opened. In the later stage, KSG broke through from the top with dominance, pushed off the eStar crystal after a wave of 1-for-4, and won the game 2-1.
After winning eStar, KSG took their first Challenger Cup win and pulled themselves back from the brink, a victory that was very important for them to avoid falling into a two-loss group. eStar suffered two consecutive defeats and the situation was precarious. Congratulations to KSG and look forward to their continued efforts to play their summer season and defend their home turf.
