Did AG Super Play secure their 16th consecutive big match victory to advance to the quarterfinals, or did the "BO7 God" create another miracle?

The Challenger Cup Round of 16 entered its third day of play. Since Wolf Team and eStar were knocked out early, the focus shifted to AG Super Play’s matches, which generated great excitement! On the 12th, AG finally participated!

AG Super Play’s first-round match was a straightforward 3-0 victory over TE Su, pushing their big match winning streak to 15 without them even realizing it. The last time AG lost a big match was on August 14th; if they beat RNG tonight, they will have gone undefeated for four consecutive months. Counting EWC, their BO7 winning streak stands at 22, making a loss in the top 16 tonight nearly impossible.

After rebuilding around Sakura, RNG easily defeated K-League team XYG 3-0 in the first round. The addition of Jiu Zhe and Jiu Ku has raised high hopes for this new RNG squad. However, the Challenger Cup format differs from the league, offering no time or opportunity for practice. With unlucky draws, RNG faced AG Super Play in the second round, so tonight they can only strive to perform their best without regrets.

Look at "BO7 God" Jiu Zhe—tonight he replaced Runrun, who didn’t die even once last game, with Aurora again. Could this be a clever surprise tactic?

Xuan Ran had a stellar performance against TE Su in the first round, freely picking strong heroes without being targeted by bans. He achieved the top KDA and second highest gold per minute among top laners in the Challenger Cup. On the other side, Sakura also delivered solid stats against XYG, ranking fourth in KDA, first in participation rate among top laners, and earned an MVP with Chisha.

The last time these two players faced off was in the year-end finals, where Sakura was the only Wolf Team player whose lane rating wasn’t crushed by AG Super Play. Now, back with RNG facing Xuan Ran again, what kind of performance will Sakura bring this time?

Before the AG Super Play vs. RNG match, there was another event: WB vs. WST! WB swept the college champion Jinling Institute of Technology 3-0 in the first round. In this BO5, WB showed no mercy, playing with full effort to honor the challengers. The three games lasted less than 35 minutes combined, highlighting the gap between professional teams and top amateur squads.

WST easily defeated overseas team NOVA 3-0 in the first round, which was expected given their high ranking in the K-League. However, their mid and support players’ performance in this "fish pond" match was surprisingly poor. If they maintain this form against KPL’s top mid and support tonight, a disaster could be looming.

Chisha is a versatile hero who can be played in many roles — whether in ranked matches or KPL pro games, mainly on the top lane, development lane, or jungle. If you play ranked, it’s recommended to choose the development lane! Development lane Chisha is a nightmare for standard marksmen, using her passive and basic attacks on minions to quickly switch weapons, stacking attack speed and range from the start.

When you think Chisha’s short range limits her harassment, she quietly switches to the halberd form. Her mid-to-long-range sweeps make it hard for enemy marksmen to approach, but the real domination arrives when she reaches her ultimate form. Switching to bow form grants her ranged attacks, and her ultimate’s second skill deals true damage with a finishing effect, putting enemy marksmen and supports on edge.

When the enemy marksman and jungler gank together, immediately activate the ultimate. As a hero who breaks attack speed limits, Chisha transforms into a mobile turret, capable of even taking down the jungler. In development lane matchups against regular marksmen, from the first wave of minions onward, the pace is completely controlled by this weapons master.

Given Chisha’s current strength, it’s likely that the developers will nerf her soon!
