The match between Wolves and eStarPro was held on Saturday in the KPL Summer Finals, and, in the end, Wolves defeated eStarPro 4:2.

Before the match, eStarPro was considered more likely to take the crown because Wolves hadn’t won a single match against eStarPro in their last six matches, and they had just lost to eStarPro 1:4 in the Upper Bracket Finals a week ago. But the results from the Finals were quite the opposite.

In game one of the match, Wolves used the lineup of Jing, Gongsun Li and Zhangfei effectively and built a considerable advantage. At 21 minutes, Wolves killed Storm Dragon King and destroyed two base towers, securing a victory in this round.

In game two, Xiaopang on Miyamoto Musashi achieved a triple kill, building up his team’s morale and allowing Wolves to secure one more victory.

In game three, eStarPro was less favored in the beginning and lost control of the game before the mid-game. Wolves won this round and brought the contest to a match point of 3:0.

At that point, both teams went on a break, after which eStarPro returned to form. The excellent performances of Qingrong and Tanran from eStarPro helped their team win the fourth round.

With renewed vigor, eStarPro took to the fifth round, where they crushed the lineup of Ma Chao and Aguduo from Wolves and took the win.

In the crucial sixth round, initially, eStarPro was dominating the game. However, in the mid-game, eStarPro became too aggressive and made many mistakes, including missing their primary targets. Then, Xiaopang on Nako Ruru utilized his high damage, helping Wolves win both the game and the match.

Wolves successfully took the crown again after five years, and Xiao Pang earned the MVP Award in the Finals.
