The Challengers Cup quarterfinal groups are revealed: AG lands in the "Group of Death," and with two consecutive wins, the championship is within reach.

With RW侠’s hard-fought 4-3 victory over JDG securing the last quarterfinal spot, the final eight teams are set! The popular favorites Wolf, eStar, and JDG ultimately missed out on the quarterfinals. The teams moving forward are Hero久竞, WB, DRG, TES, AG, 青训破军, KSG, and RW侠!

Following the last match, the quarterfinal draw took place, placing defending champions AG超玩会 into the "Group of Death"! The top half groups are: KSG, 青训破军, AG超玩会, and WB! The matches are KSG vs 青训破军 and WB vs AG超玩会!

The bottom half consists of TES, RW侠, DRG, and Hero久竞! The matchups are DRG against Hero久竞 and TES facing RW侠! Judging by the draw, the three strongest teams are all clustered in the top half!

With eight teams and four matches, the most anticipated games by fans are all in the top half. As the defending champions, AG超玩会’s first opponent is the summer season runner-up WB! After several months, WB has made roster changes, while AG超玩会 continues with their championship-winning five-man lineup!

For AG超玩会, although they have consistently beaten WB before, the unpredictability of esports is what makes it exciting. If AG beats WB and advances, their likely next opponent will be KSG! Both WB and KSG pose significant challenges for AG!

However, if AG超玩会 can secure two straight wins, reaching the finals should be guaranteed! Looking at the bottom half’s four teams, no matter who faces AG for the final spot, AG is confident in eliminating their opponent!

In the bottom half, RW侠 might be the biggest dark horse of this Challengers Cup! After watching their match against JDG, 小俞’s performance has earned widespread recognition. The quarterfinals allow for a revival opportunity, and RW侠 can further refine their synergy during the matches.

As the season ends, players who haven’t reached the King rank yet might want to try playing 东皇太一! At level 1, 东皇 dominates the solo lane with no real rivals. Early on, he’s an unstoppable nightmare requiring no complex skill combos, relying solely on the three energy orbs swirling around him. Dare to challenge him?

Each rotation of 东皇’s energy orbs drains health rapidly, causing your HP bar to vanish quickly while he remains nearly full. At level 1, he’s unbeatable in a direct fight. By level 4, his annoyance factor peaks. Ignoring enemy positioning and kiting, with jungle support, he can flash in and immediately lock down a target with his ultimate.

During the 2.5-second suppression, opponents cannot act and can only watch as both they and 东皇 lose health. Even if teammates come to assist, those caught by 东皇 hesitate to fully focus fire, fearing that killing him might also cause their own death. This ruthless, blood-for-blood, life-for-life playstyle drives all opponents crazy with frustration.

Especially against 哪吒, who dares to fly at 东皇 will instantly retreat under the tower, then get locked down by the ultimate, leaving the rest to teammates! As the season closes, lower-ranked players should consider using 东皇 to climb the ranks!
