After three seasons, it is time to crown a new champion for the King Pro League (KPL). Wolves vs Kuaishou Gaming is set to take place on April 11 at the Wuyuan River Indoor Gymnasium. Here’s everything you need to know about the KPL Spring 2026 grand final, including the odds, betting preview, predictions, and more.
There is a lot riding on this one KPL match. For Wolves, it’s their chance to reclaim the title after two years, while Kuaishou Gaming are chasing their first KPL title since they first competed in 2017.
The winner of the KPL final will walk away with over $500,000 of the prize money, along with a slot to the World Cup (KWC) at the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026.
Wolves Esports are enjoying a stellar season. The team has looked in control through the KPL Spring, dropping only two matches throughout the three stages of the regular season.
Therefore, they qualified directly to the upper bracket semifinal and faced Kuaishou Gaming in their first match-up.
Kuashiou Gaming, on the other hand, are currently having their best KPL season to date. Even a second-place finish would make it their best outing. Nonetheless, they will be looking to win.
Their route into the playoffs wasn’t as smooth sailing as Wolves’.

While the team placed first in Stage 1 to make it to the second stage’s Group S, they lost two out of their three opening fixtures, facing relegation in the third stage.
However, wins against Douyu Gaming and Talent Gaming secured Stage 3 for the team in Group S. Here, they narrowly qualified after taking down Weibo Gaming in a do-or-die match for both teams.
Therefore, Kuashiou Gaming faced off against Wolves in the upper bracket semifinals of the playoffs.
While many expected this to be an easy win for Wolves, Kuashiou proved why they deserved to be here.
They won back-to-back in the opening games, taking the series to 3–0. However, something clicked in Wolves Esports at this point, as they were able to stage a historical reverse sweep to take the best-of-seven match 4–3.
After that, Wolves took down tournament favorites AG Super Play 4–0 in the upper bracket final to make it to the grand final.
Kuashiou Gaming, on the other hand, punched its ticket through a lower bracket run, taking down the likes of Douyu Gaming, Weibo Gaming, and then AG Super Play to reach the last stage of the tournament.

Kuashiou Gaming are in form, without a doubt. The reverse sweep they suffered at the hands of Wolves in the upper bracket semifinal didn’t affect the team, as they managed to complete a lower bracket run.
On the way, they denied AG Super Play a spot in the grand final for the first time in over two years.
However, Wolves have proven this season that they will not be stopped. While they did look out of touch during the upper bracket semifinals when they were down 3–0, they showed that they don’t bow out.
There is one more feather in Wolves’ cap as well, and that’s Kuashiou Gaming having played two more best-of-seven series in the playoffs.
As a result, they have plenty of time to look at their drafts plus what is working and not for the team.
Furthermore, both teams have met thrice so far in the KPL Spring, with Wolves winning all times.
Therefore, we predict that Wolves Esports is going to win the KPL Spring 2026 title and punch its way to Saudi Arabia. This will also be an achievement for the esports organization as it chases the title in the $20 million EWC Club Championship 2026 as well.
