On the evening of November 8, 2025, the King of Glory KPL Annual Finals kicked off at Beijing National Stadium. In a dramatic turn of events, Chengdu AG Super Play took the first match against Chongqing Wolves.
This opening game was a testament to the unpredictable nature of professional esports. Chongqing Wolves, who had enjoyed a significant economic advantage, meticulously executed team fights and managed to push AG’s crystal to below half health multiple times. However, a crucial oversight, failing to push minions into the crystal’s range, cost them dearly.
Emerging from adversity, AG Super Play mounted a remarkable comeback, ultimately securing the victory against the odds. The MVP of the match was awarded to AG’s standout player “Yinuo” for his exceptional performance on Luban Seven.
The early game saw Chengdu AG Super Play securing the first Overlord at the 4-minute mark and subsequently destroying the mid-lane tower by the 5th minute. However, Chongqing Wolves seized an opportunity, focusing and eliminating Luban Master, and then securing the Minor Overlord.
At 6 minutes, Wolves’ Xi Shi initiated a successful team fight, leading to a zero-for-two trade in their favor. By 8 minutes, Chongqing Wolves claimed another Minor Overlord and capitalized on subsequent engagements, resulting in another clean zero-for-three team wipe.
The 10-minute mark saw Xi Shi once again initiate a decisive pick on Luban Master, allowing Chongqing Wolves to secure the Shadow Overlord. Following this, at 12 minutes, Wolves claimed the Shadow Lord and broke through AG’s top lane high ground.
Chongqing Wolves continued to press their advantage, with their player “Chi Zha” eliminating Charlotte at 14 minutes. Despite the pressure, Chengdu AG Super Play managed to clear minion waves and defend their crystal at the 15-minute mark, converting a zero-for-two team fight and securing the Shadow Overlord, demonstrating resilience under duress.
The turning point came at the 18-minute mark during a chaotic team fight in the river. AG’s Luban Seven showcased incredible positioning and damage output, allowing Chengdu AG Super Play to eliminate multiple opposing heroes. Leveraging a well-timed minion wave, they pushed through the enemy crystal to take the first game, completing a stunning reversal.
