Zekai is captain of Team A, which includes Jiang Botao, Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian, Yu Feng, Chu Yunxiu, Li Hua, Tang Hao, Zou Yuan, Sun Xiang, Su Mucheng, and Yang Cong. Zekai gives over the team captain role to Wenzhou, who is one of the Four Master Tacticians and an amazing shot caller. For Team A’s Team Challenge, Zekai joins Mucheng, Wenzhou, Shaotian, and Yunxiu with Jiang Botao as the substitute.

Zekai rushes towards Zhang Xinjie’s Cleric, which is a class known for poor combat. With Shaotian, Zekai kills Xinjie’s Immovable Rock. Zekai and Team A win the team challenge. Zekai is interviewed by reporters after the match, which gives Team A the overall win.[3]
