Is Yinuo really just “coasting” to another championship? That shows a serious lack of understanding of the game; Yinuo’s impact is huge.

AG Super Play comfortably beat WB 4-1 in the KPL Summer Finals, clinching their fifth straight KPL title and the team’s sixth championship overall. Dashuai, with four consecutive MVPs,became the first roaming player in KPL history to receive the Finals MVP award! There’s no denying that Dashuai’s performance truly captivated the entire online community!

However, some began to say that Yinuo’s championship was “just luck”! Such remarks reveal a very shallow understanding of the game!

Anyone who carefully watched the matches knows Yinuo dominated his lane against Xiaomai, who missed many minions and lost jungle control due to poor fundamentals. In the first game, Aoyin played a pure marksman under pressure but was heavily harassed by Luban in lane, enabling AG’s decisive red buff invasion. In the second game, when the top and jungle were ganked, Yinuo promptly decided to attack the mid tower, killed Wang Zhaojun, then followed up with Taiyi to take down Goya. If you call that “coasting,” then the top/jungle duo must have been feeding intentionally.

In the third game, facing Kongkong and Xiao Qiao, Gongsun Li died not once and delivered a solid performance. While not necessarily spectacular, calling this “coasting” is just ridiculous.

In the fourth game, Daji held the bottom lane against Mao and Shouyue, even as teammates died one after another, resisting two strong enemy pushes. Do you really want to argue against this kind of resilience? In the fifth game, Goya flanked and solo killed Eileen to initiate the fight. Even Xiaopang admitted that if Haiyue had pulled Yang Jian away, AG could have ended the game then, making Goya the clear MVP of that round. Unfortunately, Changsheng’s Haiyue didn’t perform well that match.

To sum up, last night Dashuai was undoubtedly a top-tier initiator, but if Yinuo couldn’t hold pressure alone, Dashuai wouldn’t have the freedom to control the pace. Anyone who plays the game knows you should prioritize skill usage against the enemy marksman, especially since the top/jungle role focuses on bursting down the carry. You can imagine how difficult it is to farm safely. Particularly in the finals, expecting the marksman to have decisive plays every round is unrealistic; you might as well hope the opponents mess up.

Last night, Dashuai shone brightest and deservedly won FMVP, while the other four performed their roles well: creating space, doing the dirty work, and not caring about their KDA; Zhongyi managed resources and frontline pressure steadily, playing more consistently than in the 2025 spring season; Changsheng’s damage output and crowd control were timely and effective; Yinuo not only held pressure and self-protected but also pushed back lanes and commanded strategies, overcoming previous issues with frequent mistakes—this was the true performance of a top marksman.

So, when watching matches, try to think less like a solo queue player and more from a team perspective. In the end, the dynasty continues—this is the strongest five-man lineup in history!

Recently, while playing ranked matches, I faced several tough encounters against Chang’e on the offlane, who has become the go-to pick for climbing ranks at the end of the season!Chang’e features a unique mana system; when built tanky, she not only gains damage reduction and durability but also delivers high burst magic damage, making her a benchmark mage who combines toughness with damage output—truly both tanky and powerful.

In the early game, Chang’e leverages her frequent skill usage to clear waves quickly, gaining early map control through roaming and pressure in the jungle and side lanes; in the mid to late game, her ability to absorb a lot of damage while outputting high damage makes her very hard to counter, especially against mana-less teams where she can dominate completely. Importantly, Chang’e’s mechanics are not difficult to master.
