Chengdu AG Super Play player Da Shuai won the Best Player award for the first week of the KPL Summer Split regular season.

The first week of the 2026 KPL Summer Split regular season has kicked off. After adjusting and preparing during the off-season, each team is making their debut with new rosters and improved competitive form. As one of the most important tournaments of the year, the first week of the Summer Split reflects the overall trend of the season to a certain extent. This stage of competition saw the integration of new and old rosters, adjustments to tactical systems, and changes in the regional landscape intertwined, bringing viewers many high-intensity matches. The awards for the first week have also sparked widespread attention and discussion.  

In the star-studded first week of competition, Chengdu AG Super Play emerged as one of the most watched teams. With their dominant offensive rhythm and highly coordinated teamwork, they achieved an ideal start with two consecutive wins, showcasing the competitiveness of a top-tier team. During this winning streak, Da Shuai (Meng Jiajun), the core player in the roaming role, was successfully selected as the "MVP" of the first week of the regular season thanks to his outstanding overall control and battlefield awareness, further highlighting the strategic value of the support role in the game.  

The official evaluation of Da Shuai is: "With fierce bones and a shield, he shields against a thousand blades; with a roar, he calms the chaos," vividly portraying his tough style and control on the field. In the intense competition of the first week, Da Shuai demonstrated a deep hero pool and the ability to flexibly switch between soft and hard supports. Whether choosing strong initiation hard supports like Su Lie and Zhang Fei to assume the front-line role and complete key control and initiation at crucial moments, or using functional supports like Zhuang Zhou to remove control effects and resolve situations, he can achieve a balance between rhythm control, team fight initiation, and key protection, becoming an indispensable core pillar in the Chengdu AG Super Play team's system.  

Da Shuai's crowning achievement not only reflects his outstanding individual performance but also demonstrates the significant progress made by Chengdu AG Super Play's training system and teamwork. In addition to Da Shuai winning the Weekly MVP award, mid-laner Chang Sheng (Xie Chengjun) was also selected for the Weekly All-Star Team thanks to his consistent damage output and precise tempo control. Their excellent synergy in the mid-jungle duo enabled the team to demonstrate high performance in both positional and skirmish battles, further raising expectations for Chengdu AG Super Play's competitiveness in the upcoming matches and beyond.  

While the first week of matches has temporarily concluded, the long journey of the 2026 KPL Summer Split has just begun. Da Shuai's outstanding performance has not only strongly demonstrated the value of the roaming role but also laid a solid foundation for Chengdu AG Super Play's start. Meanwhile, other strong teams continue to follow up and actively respond, making the subsequent points competition even more unpredictable. As teams deepen their understanding of the current version and gradually unleash their tactical reserves, the future matches are expected to feature more dramatic reversals and high-intensity battles, and the final champions of the season remain to be seen.
