After the battle, Chengdu Rongcheng won 6, drew 1, and lost 2 of their 9 matches for 19 points, moving up to second place in the CSL in the first round of the tournament, trailing Shanghai Shenhua in first place, and with one point more than Shanghai Seaport in third place. Wuhan Sanzhen is temporarily ranked 10th in the CSL with 9 points from 9 battles, 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses.
This game shows that Chengdu Rongcheng does not have the quality of a first-class powerhouse; although all three Wuhan towns fell to Pingyang, the temperament of a powerhouse is still there. Chengdu Rongcheng's fight for the title and Wuhan's three towns' relegation are both wrong propositions!
