There are indeed very few chances for Team Wolf to claim the championship; to beat AG, they must dominate the first half and drag the match into a peak showdown!

Although Team Wolf has made it to the final, it’s undeniable that there remains a considerable difference between them and AG, and it’s not a minor one! So, does Team Wolf still stand a chance? The biggest appeal of esports is its uncertainty, and Wolf certainly has a possibility to win! Let’s take a look at the comparison of all ten players!

Rendering and Sakura are evenly matched; Rendering needs no introduction as the top solo laner currently active. The high praise for Sakura is mainly because he remains calm under pressure in major matches and never tilts, consistently performing quietly. He can carry with champions like Edge Core Ma Chao and Shielded Cao Cao, makes few mistakes, and even in the last game against WB, when Guan Yu and Dragon King were aggressively engaged, he didn’t lose points—his gear was fully tanky.

Jungle: Zhongyi versus Xiaopang is about 73-27 (with a large margin due to reliance on current form). It can be said that whichever jungler gets into form first largely determines the outcome of the best-of-seven series. Previously, Wolf’s championships in 2022 against eStar, the 2023 upset over TTG’s dynasty in the quarterfinals, and the costly lessons AG paid in 2024 were mostly due to Xiaopang's explosive plays. The good news now is Xiaopang doesn’t need to explode; if he just stays stable and doesn’t feed, Wolf has a chance. The bad news is Xiaopang’s form is currently poor.

Mid lane: Changsheng versus Zihuan is about 5.5 to 4.5, with their skill ceilings quite close. Zihuan plays mage champions well, and also performs decently on cat-type heroes. The issues lie in two points: first, Changsheng gets extra credit for his shotcalling; second, Changsheng’s floor is higher, while Zihuan, although capable of carrying, also makes mistakes. For example, in the early Sea Moon game, Zihuan made many errors despite earning MVP, including an early mid-lane death when Yang Jian cut him off.

Side lane: Yinuo versus Daozai is 64-36 on paper, predicted to be 55-45 in the final. Daozai’s stats are intimidating (largely because he perfectly avoided AG). His unique hero pool with Shen and good performances on Eileen and Goya are solid, but his Gongsun Li and Luban are weaker, and it’s uncertain if he has hidden tricks with Sun Quan or Lao Fuzi. Yinuo’s importance was proven last year when Xiao Yu was subbed in at the finals but lost three straight games, showing “don’t do meaningless things when ahead.” Yinuo can calm teammates down, but when Xiaopang tilts, Daozai lacks that ability.

Support: Dashuai versus Yisheng is about 73-27! Yisheng’s mistakes outnumber his highlights—not because he shines less, but because he errs too much. It’s unclear if this is due to the distraction of shotcalling; often, protecting Daozai is enough without initiating fights. Dashuai needs no introduction—he’s the top support in KPL. The biggest gap for Red Wolf is at support. If Xiaopang can awaken and perform well, Yisheng may have no advantages at all!

The usual outcome is AG winning 4-1 or 4-2 over Team Wolf. Wolf’s way to victory is to hold strong against AG in the first half, ideally taking a 2-1 lead, then dragging it into a peak showdown. Once Zhongyi hits form, Wolf’s chances diminish drastically. Zhongyi’s ceiling is terrifying; once he’s in top shape, even if his four teammates make some mistakes, they still have a 10-0 edge over Wolf.

This is no joke—whether it’s AG versus WB or KSG, no solution has been found. But we trust SK’s drafting and peak showdown lineups; both sides definitely have hidden strategies. AG has revealed theirs once but it was ineffective. Wolf’s “Shield Cao and Di Renjie” combo will need adjustment since Shield Mountain is nerfed in the final patch. If Wolf can survive to the peak showdown, they still have hope!

In recent seasons, Eileen has firmly established herself as the T0 marksman. Her unique magic damage mechanic makes her the meta answer amid the current all-physical marksman environment. First is the equipment synergy: the Lightning Dagger allows her basic attacks and ultimate to reliably trigger the electric arc effect, enabling rapid wave clear and gold farming.

Her unique penetration mechanism, when perfectly combined with the Void Staff, grants 45% penetration, allowing her to deal damage far beyond physical marksmen who rely on Dawn Breaker, effectively delivering near true damage.

Additionally, Eileen boasts excellent survivability and damage output. Her second skill provides acceleration, and her passive enables swift movement, giving her strong kiting ability. In team fights, after activating her ultimate, her arrows auto-track targets, maintaining consistent damage even under crowd control. Notably, on the tenth anniversary day, Xiao Wang gifted an Eileen anniversary skin—equipping this new skin makes climbing ranks a breeze.
