Chapter 237 The whole audience was shocked! Zoe came out again!
"Dear audience, the game you have been waiting for has finally begun! Let's take a look at the BP of both teams in the first game!"
"GT on the blue side, IG on the red side!"
According to the rules, the team ranked first still has preferential treatment in the semi-finals and has the right to choose sides first.
Naturally, the priority is to choose the blue side which has the advantage in this version.
There is no way. Originally, the difference in the winning rate between the red and blue sides would not be that big, but as soon as the hero Kaisa came on the scene, the winning rate began to change.
The red team fell into a disadvantage again.
This is a situation that will inevitably occur no matter how the version changes as long as the OP heroes are too exaggerated.
In order to avoid this, the red team had to remove the OP hero.
In this version, Kaisa is a bit too unreasonable.
It's obvious that you beat him to pieces, but as long as you give him 30 minutes to develop and make a three-piece set, the damage will naturally be quite explosive.
So much so that it now has a very ugly nickname, Kaisa Dog. It doesn't require much operation and relies entirely on skill mechanisms. The ultimate move qaaa can kill people instantly.
The disadvantaged side can display top-level comeback capabilities, while the advantaged side has unparalleled snowballing capabilities.
Although Lin Weixiang did not demonstrate his mastery of Kaisa on the court.
But IG doesn't dare to release this hero.
Kim Jeong-soo found that Lin Weixiang had been used many times in the ranking records. As a coach, it is very necessary to focus on stability to avoid any accidents.
GT directly took away Kog'Maw, Clockwork and Poppy.
Rookie's clockwork is indeed something.
He has used this hero in nine games so far, but only lost one game... With a win rate of nearly 90%, it is not difficult to see how well he knows this hero.
Although Li Yi was not afraid, it was still difficult to break through online.
It's not easy to gain an advantage, so remove her and replace her with other heroes who are better at gaining an advantage.
As for Kog'Maw, he is one of the ADs in this version. He can attack or defend. Getting rid of him will make the bottom lane more comfortable.
This is how you ban people on the blue side.
Just target the opposing player directly, and it is very simple to execute.
Kim Jeong-soo looked at this bp and shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
But his face was full of smiles.
Because he directly banned Syndra and Leblanc, who were relatively strong in the mid lane.
That’s right, LeBlanc has been resurrected with the current version, and her appearance rate is also very high.
And Li Yi also had a very famous enchantress before.
There is absolutely nothing wrong in targeting him.
He thinks this bp is still perfect.
The bottom and middle lanes were all targeted. As for the top lane, judging from previous encounters, theshy had no obvious advantage against Duke.
The situation on the road is more like 50-50.
Next, they just need to respond to the opponent’s moves, and IG will be able to significantly improve its winning rate and have a chance to win the game.
No matter what other people think.
In the commentary booth, the three commentators were staring intently at the big screen. The BP situation of both sides was clearly visible on the screen, and they also began their professional analysis.
Miller spoke first: "We can see that the three bans by GT on the blue side are very targeted. First, they banned Kog'Maw. As we all know, in the current version, Kog'Maw is a very strong AD hero who can attack or defend. GT banned Kog'Maw because they wanted to make their bottom lane more comfortable and reduce the pressure during the laning phase."
Wang Duoduo continued, "That's right, and they also banned Rookie's signature hero, Clockwork. Rookie's win rate with Clockwork is really too high. He only lost one game in nine games, which is a terrifying win rate of nearly 90%! Although Li Yi is also very strong, it is really difficult for him to break through in the line facing Rookie's Clockwork. So GT banned Clockwork in order to select other heroes that can better gain an advantage."
Rita added: "There is also Poppy. Although she may not look as impressive as the first two heroes, she plays a good role in teamfights and laning. Banning her is also to disrupt some of IG's tactical layouts."
After talking about GT's bans, the topic naturally turned to the red team IG. Miller continued to analyze: "IG's bans were also very targeted. They banned Syndra and Leblanc, both of which are very strong in the current mid lane. Especially Leblanc, with the update of the version, her appearance rate has increased significantly, and Li Yi used to be a very famous Leblanc. IG banned these two heroes to target GT's mid lane and limit Li Yi's performance."
Wang Duoduo nodded in agreement: "From this we can see that IG's coach Jin Jingzhu has a thorough understanding of the opponent. And everyone, please note that although there is no targeted ban in the top lane, from the previous matches between IG and GT, theshy has no obvious advantage against Duke. The top lane is basically a 50-50 situation, so IG focused on targeting the middle and bottom lanes."
Rita concluded: "In general, both teams' drafts have clear ideas and purposes, which makes us look forward to the next game and see what wonderful sparks will be created by both teams with such selections."
"I chose it! GT grabbed Gnar directly on the first floor. I didn't expect this, but theshy and Duke are both top Gnar players. I don't think it's a big problem if they grab it instead of banning it in advance."
Gnar's attack range increases with level.
Plus, the transformation is really hard to target in the top lane.
Little Gnar can use his long arms to annoy people, while Big Gnar's health and skills are very exaggerated in close combat.
The one he chose is actually the same as Jayce, both of whom are jack of all trades.
It all depends on whether the opponent's hero chooses to show his true colors.
In the past, some people used Yasuo to counterattack.
Right now... Yasuo is not that easy to pick.
When IG saw the hero Gnar, they only hesitated for a moment.
I chose the combination of Ornn and Troll in the last round.
Obviously this is the Ueno combination.
After all, Ning is the jungler in this game.
Ning Wang is not a child who recognizes the mid laner as his father.
Ornn and Troll's two e skills cooperate well.
It is also very good at targeting Gnar. When the e skill pops out, you can use the e skill to interrupt it at any time. Subsequently, Ornn does not need to use the q skill, he can just use the e skill to hit it directly.
The strength of the top and jungle is still very high, after all, the troll's value is here.
Apart from looking a little ugly, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Chenglu, the top and jungle combination on the opposite side... are obviously planning to target you. Do you feel any pressure?"
But this question is asked as usual. After all, the hero Gnar has already been picked, and it is impossible to switch Gnar to other lanes. Although he is also a jack of all trades hero, compared to Jayce, he cannot be swayed to the middle lane.
Cheng Lu nodded when she heard Li Jiongjun's question.
"Fortunately, I don't feel too much pressure."
After returning to the top lane, Cheng Lu felt that his condition was getting better and better, and his proficiency in the hero was getting higher and higher.
So when faced with targeting, I feel that the overall impact is not significant.
As long as he can withstand the pressure, his teammates will have a huge advantage.
IG's choice of top and jungle heroes made him feel that he could win the game in advance.
But with Duke and Rookie on the opposite side, we still can’t be too careless.
GT’s main point now is to play the game with full concentration.
No uncertainty was allowed. GT's second and third picks directly defeated the combination of Varus and Tam.
The main feature of this combination is that it is invincible online.
Very, very stable.
The combination of these two heroes can be said to be perfect.
In fact, the hero Tam can be paired with any functional ADC very well.
But if you choose it, it lacks the soul of AD.
It just feels like I can't win in the laning phase, so I give in.
A Shui sighed, he was a little annoyed.
This combination was actually what he wanted to choose, with stable development in the bottom lane and then competing against each other in team fights.
Because according to the previous tactical arrangements.
theshy is a player who is more inclined to laning, and his team fighting ability is much worse than that of GimGoon.
So the mainstream is team fighting, and you just need to use team fighting heroes.
Kim Jeong-soo just thought about it for a moment.
After all, the bottom lane combination is still easy to choose.
However, the third move will easily be targeted by the second round.
"Rock bird, rock bird."
Kim Jeong-soo pointed directly at Rookie from behind and told him to take the hero.
Rookie also nodded and immediately found Taliyah.
In this way, the top, middle and jungle are all played in the first three moves.
"Oh! IG chose to remove Zac in the second round?"
"Well, this hero has been used quite a lot in the rankings recently. However, when the support is Toad, it is indeed necessary to add a team-starter. Zac is also very competent as a team-starter. Since the BP is in this direction, I feel that Sejuani may be used in the fifth hand. Sejuani's team-starting ability is also very strong."
"It's possible..." Miller nodded. Thinking from this perspective, there was nothing wrong with what Wang Duoduo said.
"GT chose to take down the Alistar here? Tam shouldn't be too stressed out if he fights Alistar."
"It should be a tactical choice. Now it all depends on IG's final ban."
"Oh? Not Sejuani... Ryze. Does this mean that GT will choose to use Ryze to counter Taliyah? After all, both teams' ultimates can support teammates. In a way, Ryze is more abnormal."
"That's a possibility."
Ryze can use his ultimate to drive a car and carry teammates, and Tam's ultimate can also carry teammates.
The dual-drive system is still very abnormal.
GT is also very good at this system.
If this effect really happens, IG's subsequent handling will be very troublesome. If they want to lead the troops out, they have to consider whether they will be caught.
Few heroes can escape by catching people in this way, so it can be considered a defense.
In the second round of hero selection, IG directly locked on the policewoman in the fourth pick.
The remaining supports now are Lux and Morgana.
No matter which one you pick, you can easily bully Varus and Tam online.
Obviously, he is planning to change his strategy.
Moreover, it is impossible for GT to snatch Lux and Morgana.
Based on this situation, it depends on whether there are more or fewer group launches.
If there is more control in the team fight, it will be Morgana, otherwise it will be Lux who will suppress the lane madly.
If you can't kill the enemy alone, you can at least reduce the health of the defense tower.
Everything is calculated.
Kim Jeong-soo stood behind the contestants, his mouth unconsciously raised, revealing a smug smile. His eyes were fixed on the screen, full of confidence and determination.
Just now, IG chose Ornn, Troll and Taliyah in the first three picks. This seemed to be a regular selection, but it actually contained a mystery. Although he knew that some of the previous tactics might have been seen through by GT, at this moment, he was full of confidence in the new tactics he had temporarily arranged.
Under his careful planning, IG selected Miss Fortune in the bottom lane, and matched it with Lux or Morgana. This combination was born to suppress the opponent's Varus and Tam.
Thinking of this, Jin Jingzhu's eyes flashed with a sharpness. He silently calculated in his mind that with this bottom lane combination, GT's bottom lane duo would definitely be beaten without any chance to fight back, and it was almost certain that they would be defeated in the laning phase.
He looked at his teammates and felt a surge of pride. In his opinion, no matter what hero GT's mid and jungle choose next, it will not change the situation that IG's bottom lane is about to establish an advantage.
IG's top, mid and jungle combination is also strong enough to fully control the rhythm of the game. In this game, IG has already won the game, and he seems to have seen the dawn of victory just before his eyes.
If kkoma could see this expression, he would definitely recall the scene from last year's World Championship Finals...
Isn't this definitely another him?
But in the end, the three-peat was shattered.
Instead, he was severely taught a lesson by GT.
GT didn't seem to have taken these into consideration, and the mid-jungle combination came out very quickly.
Barrel, Zoe!
Zoe Lee reappeared in the competition arena.
When you see this hero appear on the big screen, accompanied by the sound effects of being selected.
"My name is Zoe, what's yours?"
The scene was instantly ignited, and the enthusiasm of the audience burst out like a surging tide, one wave after another. The deafening cheers and shouts intertwined together, as if to overturn the entire venue.
For these enthusiastic audiences, Li Yi's Zoe is not just a choice of game character, it is simply a superb art.
I still remember the first time Li Yi played Zoe in the Demacia Cup.
In that match, he showed Zoe's agility and power to the fullest. Facing Xiaodi, Li Yi's Zoe took the initiative in the lane. The skill release was extremely accurate, and the Q skill was consumed just right, which made Xiaodi exhausted. The hypnotic bubble of the E skill was even more elusive, often appearing at angles that Xiaodi didn't expect. After controlling it, he cooperated with his teammates to complete wave after wave of kills.
Xiaoxuedi was originally an extremely confident player. He had full confidence in his Zoe, and even thought that his Zoe was the strongest on the field.
However, the direct confrontation with Li Yi made him realize the reality. In front of Li Yi's Zoe, the younger brother's operation seemed a bit clumsy, and he was completely defeated in the laning phase, and his rhythm was completely disrupted.
Since then, Xiaoxuedi seems to have developed a trauma about the hero Zoe and no longer dares to choose her easily in the game.
Now, Li Yizoi appeared again in this important competition, how could the audience not be excited.
See the barrel and Zoe.
IG did not hesitate and directly chose Morgana.
In this way, the lineups of both sides were determined.
GT on the blue side: top lane Gnar, jungle Gragas, mid lane Zoe, bottom lane duo Varus and Tam.
Red team IG: Ornn on top, Troll on jungle, Taliyah in mid, and Caitlyn and Morgana on bottom lane.
