Foreword: On the evening of April 7, in the last match of the second round of the 2024 KPL Spring Tournament held in Shanghai, Foshan DRG defeated Hangzhou LGD.NBW 4:1, continuing its tradition of returning to Group S in the second round of the card match.

At this point, the dust has settled in the spring card position match, and the two S/A card positions have been promoted from A to Group S with Foshan DRG and Suzhou KSG defeating their opponents, and in the two A/B card games, Group A BOA defeated Shenzhen DYG to retain the hope of advancing to the playoffs, while Wuhan eStarPro in Group B defeated Shanghai EDG.M to advance to the third round with Qingrong's comeback state warmed up.

The three components of SAB are conclusive, new stages and new challenges

Once the card matches are over, the regular season is about to enter the final round, with the teams in Group S battling out the upper bracket spots, while the teams in Group A will have to avoid being the last two teams in the playoffs.

In the second round of the competition, there was a big demon king in each group.

In Group B, the former super champion eStar Pro can be said to have beaten through Group B. Especially after the return of the champion Qingrong in the middle lane, eStar Pro became more and more stable, and also successfully defeated the opponent and rose to Group A, thinking of going further.

In Group A, there is Suzhou KSG, which has only lost one game. KSG have only lost the last game of Group A this season, but are still top of Group A.

Finally, there is the S group. In Group S, there was a wonderful situation: from the first place to the sixth place in Group S, they all lost to the top and defeated the bottom. This point is also jokingly called hierarchical by netizens.

Among them, a big demon king also appeared in the S group, which should have been close to the level. In the second round of the game, AG Super Play only lost the first game against Chongqing Wolves, and kept all the opponents clean sheets in the next games, winning 15 consecutive games.

After the card match, the AG Super Play Club will also usher in new challengers, including Suzhou KSG, the only one to defeat the AG Super Play Club in the first round. These teams that have been promoted to the group through the card position match all have their own skills. They include both old powerhouses that are back in form and new challengers who are just starting out.

The card position competition showed its own magical powers, and the new and old teams were reorganized and launched

The first is Suzhou KSG, strictly speaking, Suzhou KSG is not a strong team in the traditional sense, their best result in team history is the third place in the 2023 KPL Summer Tournament, which means that they really became a strong team last season.

However, in the 2023 Challenger Cup and the World Championship, their results are not ideal, and in the subsequent transfer period, the head coach who led them to create team history left Xingtian, and the old coach returned little by little, and at the same time introduced the former Nanjing Hero Jiujing's Jiuku, as well as Beijing WB's substitute mid-laner wanderer.

The new Suzhou KSG only changed the support players in the first round of the regular season compared to last year, and Jiuku became the main support without any suspense. However, in the first round of the game, the new Suzhou KSG run-in was not in place, and the performance was not good, which became a stepping stone for the dark horse Xiamen VG to enter Group S.

Suzhou KSG, which worked hard in Group A in the second round, instead obtained a smoother reconstruction environment: the newcomer gradually replaced Aze's position against Lu Qingyu, and since then, the main lineup of Suzhou KSG has completed a three-person "refresh" compared with last year, and the tacit understanding of this new team has gradually improved.

In the second round of the card match, when the coach BP was not dominant, the Suzhou KSG players played well, opened the gap with their opponents with a deeper hero pool and personal skills, and completed their revenge and advanced to Group S.

Foshan DRG, which relied on the thunderous five-person group to maintain the semi-finals for a long time in 2021-23, is also on the right track before the card position after the reorganization this season.

After the transfer of the confrontation against Lu Baibeast and the transfer of Yougo Akai this season, Foshan DRG introduced the Asian Games champion Yougo Adou to strengthen it, and the opponent Lu Xiaodu who was cultivated by himself took over from Baibeast as the starter, and selected the newcomer to play Wild Wanwan in the draft. In this season, Foshan DRG has undergone a major change, and the old players have been replaced by new forces.

Under the cultivation of the head coach, they continued the "fine tradition" of the old five-person group in the card position match and returned to Group S, and their results did not decline due to reorganization.

Compared with Suzhou KSG, the reorganized Foshan DRG may have a higher ceiling, Ze, Ah Dou, Menglan and Qingfeng have entered the finals many times, and they have more experience in playing against strong teams.

The comeback of Wuhan eStarPro midlaner Qingrong and the experience of pulling the team back from the edge of the cliff also gave the audience new expectations for this veteran powerhouse that has ruled the KPL league for the longest time.

After the return of Qingrong, the Wuhan eStarPro team has undergone a qualitative change in its on-the-spot performance, and the Ueno linkage and the Nakano linkage are the key to the team's victory.

The performance of Ziyang, the only FMVP in the league, was also quite eye-catching in this card position competition, and he "operated" the Bull Demon many times, and Liu Chan and other hard auxiliary heroes found the flaws of the opponent for the team, and broke the deadlock with a stable team.

After Qingrong's return, Wuhan eStarPro won the most championships in the five-person group of four people, and the shooter who transferred back from Hangzhou LGD.NBW also showed a strong self-motivation, to prove that he is not the shortcoming that is dragging his feet.

After these card matches, the third round of KPL regular grouping has been "reshuffled", and the 6 teams in Group S are AG Super Play, Wolves, WB, and TES. A, KSG and DRG, these 6 teams also got tickets to the playoffs.

The six teams in Group A are LGD, VG, TTG, RW, eStarPro and BOA, which qualify for the third round of the regular season, and the top four teams from the third round can qualify for the playoffs. The six teams in Group B have been eliminated and can only prepare for the summer tournament.

While regretting for the Group B team, I can't help but look forward to the game of Group SA even more, looking forward to whether there is a team that can break the monopoly of the overlord of Group S.
