As a frequent participant in the semi-finals of the LG Cup for many years, Ke Jie has rarely entered the finals in her career, and winning the championship has never been done.
After missing great opportunities in the Asian Games (although not counting the World Series) and the Ying's Cup, Ke Jie finally returned to the final stage of the World Series after nearly four years on the stage of the LG Cup.
Coincidentally, the last time he reached the final of the World Series so far was also in the LG Cup, when he was beaten 2-1 by Shin Minjun in a trilogy.
After defeating the veteran Yuan Shengqin in the semifinals of this year, Ke Jie updated social media and wrote: Redemption (redemption).
Indeed, Ke Jie, who has been losing key games in recent years, has never been able to increase the number of his champions, but has even become a "fun thing to consume" that everyone often uses.
I have to say that the championship of the past four years has come all the way, and there is even a sense of powerlessness of Zhuge Kongming's Wuzhang Yuan, "The sky is long, why is it thinner than me".
But whether the real redemption can be completed depends on the trilogy with Bian Xiangyi in January next year, and the most beautiful script is, of course, to get up from where you fall (the 2021 LG Cup is just a good opportunity for Ke Jie to be crowned the ninth champion).
After the semi-finals, Ke Jie said that he did not expect to enter the finals, and the whole competition was actually very lucky, but he admitted that he was still confident in the finals and would definitely go all out.
Although there are still ups and downs in the state, Ke Jie's chess luck seems to have come back a lot, maybe before the start of the LG Cup finals next year, the Samsung Cup at the end of this year can surprise everyone in advance?
