Hello everyone, I’m Zhijian. I accompanied the KPL Dream Team throughout their trip to Saudi Arabia. In fact, I never thought there would be any surprises from the very beginning. Fortunately, after winning ten consecutive games and reaching the finals, the Dream Team successfully defeated the strong opponent, the Malaysian LGD team, and won the final trophy. Congratulations to the Dream Team.

We actually played two games today. We met AG again in the semi-finals, and this was just an episode in this journey to win the championship. In the first match, AG broke the Dream Team's middle lane tower, but that was all. Although this game was a BO5, they still easily defeated the opponent 3:0, which can be said to be without any fluctuations.

So far, the KPL Dream Team has entered the finals with a perfect record of ten consecutive wins and 0 losses in the small game. Because I had not paid attention to LGD before, I was not sure about their strength. When we played against them, I found that there was a reason why this team could also win ten games in a row and advance.

That’s right, this LGD also made it to the finals with ten consecutive wins. To be honest, I was a little nervous, but I still maintained absolute confidence in our players, and this game finally made the KPL team no longer so comfortable.

The first game encountered a big problem. After breaking LGD's three high points, they were counterattacked in continuous attacks on the crystal. On the other hand, on the KPL side, Wan'er's strong period in the middle lane had long passed, and it was inevitable that they felt powerless.

After being counterattacked in the second round, LGD came out completely and spread out the vision. I thought the situation might be reversed, but Yinuo and Gongsun Li in the middle lane saved the day with a wave of operations, killed Ao Yin in the crowd, and finally won the team battle and successfully destroyed the opponent's crystal.

I have to say that LGD is still capable. They have a deep understanding of the words "defense and counterattack". They wanted to replicate such a situation in the second game, so they still used the late-game lineup and also successfully launched a defensive counterattack, but the struggle did not last as long as in the first game.

The Dream Team's previous games were generally resolved within 10 minutes, with slightly stronger teams taking a little longer, basically around 12 minutes. However, this time against LGD, the three games lasted 18 minutes and 30 seconds, 12 minutes and 50 seconds, and 12 minutes and 30 seconds respectively. It is obvious that this team is stronger than the other teams.

My personal evaluation of this team, if we only look at the first game, should be at the level of Group A in KPL, the kind of level that even TTG and WB may not be able to win with certainty. However, I won't mention the next two games, as they were obviously overwhelmed by the KPL team.

After this victory, several players had an extra layer of halo, and in the end Yinuo even won the FMVP of the finals with a life-saving operation in the first game. Because the opponents were generally too weak, everyone performed very well, so it was reasonable to give the MVP to the key man.

The Dream Team that traveled to Saudi Arabia will have to rush back to China after winning the championship to continue playing the third round of the KPL regular season. They don’t have much rest time. I hope they can continue to maintain their good form.
