Beijing WB Pulls Off Stunning 3‑2 Comeback Over Chongqing Wolves in KPL Showdown, Tingyue Named MVP
Beijing’s WB squad pulled off a dramatic 3‑2 victory over the Chongqing Wolves in what has been billed as the “peak showdown” of the season, sending fans of the King Pro League (KPL) into a frenzy on Chinese social media. The win, clinched on Saturday in a tightly contested best‑of‑five series, marked a pivotal moment for WB, which had been under pressure after a string of close calls earlier in the campaign.

The match swung back and forth, with each side taking two games before the deciding fifth set. In the final round, WB’s coordination and individual brilliance turned the tide. Two players were singled out for their performances: “Tingyue” (real name Wu Zuo) earned the MVP award for his masterful play on the legendary hero Nuwa, while “Nuanyang” – whose given name is Lin Heng – was lauded for his “most stable hands” on the jungle role. Lin, a professional esports player, has become a fan favourite for his calm under pressure, and his decisive moves in the later stages of the series were widely credited with sealing the Wolves’ defeat.
For the Wolves, the loss was a bitter pill after an impressive run. Their roster featured several high‑profile talents, including “Yaodao,” a key figure in the team’s development pipeline, and “Fly,” a veteran who has collected multiple FMVP awards over his career. The Wolves’ jungler “Xiaopang,” whose real name is Li Daheng, also put in a solid performance, but could not forestall WB’s late‑game surge. The team’s coach, known affectionately as “Old Lin,” was praised for his strategic adjustments throughout the match, even as the final score slipped away.
Adding a fresh dynamic to the Wolves’ side were the two rookie players dubbed “Shuang Xiaojun,” who made their KPL debut in this encounter. Their introduction was met with enthusiastic support from the audience, signaling potential future developments for the squad despite the recent setback.
The victory ignited a wave of celebratory posts on Weibo, with hashtags such as #WB战胜狼队 (WB defeats Wolves), #这夏太WB啦 (This summer is all about WB), and #荣耀加冕追梦不休 (Glory crowns the relentless dream) trending for hours. Fans highlighted the game‑changing synergy of WB’s line‑up, with one user writing, “WB’s perfect coordination achieved an astonishing comeback,” while another praised the MVP performances, tagging both Tingyue and Nuanyang by name.
Although the match itself does not carry broader ramifications for the esports industry or for geopolitical affairs, it underscores the growing popularity of competitive mobile gaming in China and the fervent community that follows it. For WB, the win not only boosts their standing in the league table but also adds momentum heading into the upcoming playoff stretch. For the Chongqing Wolves, the loss serves as a reminder of the thin margin between triumph and defeat in a sport where a single hero pick or a split‑second decision can rewrite the outcome.
In the aftermath, both teams are expected to regroup and refocus. WB’s coach hinted at further tactical refinements, while the Wolves’ camp praised the debutants and vowed to return stronger. As the summer season progresses, fans can anticipate more high‑stakes clashes, but for now, the narrative belongs to Beijing WB and the thrilling comeback that secured their hard‑earned victory over the Chongqing Wolves.
