Chapter 264 Strange Jungler!

Chapter 264 Strange Jungler!

"In the current version, Kaisa's strategic value is particularly prominent. He is a core hero that must be picked or banned. I believe everyone can see this."

Shen Chao took over the conversation and explained clearly: "That's true. In this version, Kaisa's mobility and damage output are both maximized. Her displacement skills have a very long range. She can find the right time to attack the enemy and deal explosive damage instantly. She can also cleverly withdraw when the situation is stalemate and complete a fatal harvest."

"In the late game, Kaisa's damage is off the charts. Whether it's the continuous suppression of the enemy's front row or the deadly deterrence to the back row, the opponent is hard to defend against. Generally speaking, this hero will not be released."

"Looking at KZ's first BP, they directly banned Leblanc. This was largely due to the existence of ShowGod." Haokai keenly captured the key information.

Wang Duoduo agreed deeply and nodded in agreement: "That's right, Xiu Shen's laning ability is unparalleled. When he uses Leblanc, his attention to detail during the laning phase is perfect, bringing out Leblanc's high mobility and instant burst characteristics to the fullest, often suppressing the opponent without any resistance, and can only defend."

Shen Chao then added: "If we don't target Xiu Shen's Leblanc and let him get this hero, BDD will be under great pressure in the laning phase and fall into an extremely passive situation."

KZ banned Ahri with this intention, which undoubtedly reduced the burden on BDD in the laning phase, allowing him to develop steadily and smoothly transition to the team battle stage.

On the contrary, if GT gets LeBlanc, they can quickly seize the initiative in the laning phase, use LeBlanc's flexible support ability, activate the overall rhythm, and control the initiative of the game.

"That's right. The strategic weighing and decision-making game between the coaches and players of both sides in the BP phase is definitely one of the most interesting parts of this game!" Haokai concluded.

"Wow, in this second BP, KZ decisively banned Zoe. The intention couldn't be more obvious. They are still targeting the mid lane. It seems that they attach no less importance to Xiu Shen!" Hao Kai couldn't hide his excitement and said loudly.

Shen Chao analyzed: "Zoe's influence in the mid lane cannot be underestimated. Her skill mechanism is unique, and her Q skill has a long range. During the laning phase, she can continuously consume the opponent and disrupt the opponent's rhythm."

"Once the hypnotic bubble of the E skill hits accurately, it can instantly produce a high burst with the cooperation of teammates. Even in team battles, this skill can play a key role in controlling and starting the fight, becoming a key factor in turning the tide of the battle.

Xiu Shen has a deep hero pool, and his use of Zoe is superb, which has been proven in previous games. KZ did not want to give Xiu Shen the opportunity to suppress Zoe in the middle lane. "

Rita looked at the second BP and said, "Look at the red side GT, they banned Ryze in the second hand."

Shenchao scratched his head and responded thoughtfully: "When I watched the LCK games before, I found that Bdd was very proficient in Ryze and could always shine on the field with this hero. However, GT's ban and selection really surprised me. When the red side has a counter position, it is very likely that there are special hero selection considerations in the middle lane..."

When the words came to his lips, Shen Chao paused for a moment. After all, some speculations should not be revealed casually during the commentary, so as not to cause unnecessary rhythm.

Amid the four commentators' exciting analysis, the BP phase progressed intensively.

KZ’s third pick was still aimed at the mid laner, banning Syndra, while GT took Sejuani.

Haokai analyzed: "Peanut's Sejuani is an expert at setting the pace, and his top lane coordination with Khan is perfect. Once they work together, they can put tremendous pressure on the opponent in the early stages. Moreover, Bdd is also very clear about the direction of executing the team's tactics in this lineup."

It is exactly as Haokai said. For GT, Li Jiongjun knew the threat of Sejuani, so he banned her.

After all, if they can win the first game steadily, it will have a great impact on KZ's morale, and their state in subsequent games will decline seriously, achieving a sweep.

On the contrary, KZ is in great momentum now, but once they lose the first game, the following games will be very difficult to play.

"KZ picked Olaf as their first pick! As we all know, besides Sejuani, Olaf is also one of Peanut's signature heroes. His understanding and operation of this hero are both top-notch. From this pick, it is obvious that KZ's jungle rhythm is likely to focus on aggressive invasions in the early stages. As a result, the mid lane is likely to favor a supportive mid laner."

Shenchao took over the conversation: "That's right. Considering the current version trend and KZ's overall lineup strategy, the mid laner will most likely choose heroes like Fanta and Lulu."

Wang Duoduo said: "Based on this, it all depends on how GT responds."

Shenchao then said: "I think GT can choose the bottom lane combination first and directly take down Ezreal and Fanzi. In the current 8.8 version, Ez's system is very strong. Compared with Kaisa, Ez's formation period is faster. With its flexible E skill displacement, Ez can better pull the output position in laning and team battles. In the early stage, it can continuously consume the opponent through the Q skill. As long as the key equipment Morpellite is made, the damage will have a qualitative leap.

When paired with Fanzi Ma, Fanzi Ma can provide EZ with acceleration and shield, further enhancing EZ's pulling ability, allowing EZ to have a more comfortable output environment in team battles, and can also break KZ's mid-jungle system. "

As soon as Shenchao finished speaking, GT decisively took down EZ and Fanzima.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room suddenly rolled like a surging tide, and the screen was filled with dense question marks.

[This is amazing! As soon as Shenchao finished speaking, GT was chosen! Shenchao has been retired for two years, but his understanding of the game is still so profound! ]

"KZ saw GT's bottom lane duo Ezreal and Fantasy Warrior picked directly, and after a brief hesitation, they decisively picked the combination of Rakan and Caitlyn!"

Shen Chao analyzed: "This pick is very targeted. The combination of Luo and Miss Fortune is terrifying in the laning phase. Miss Fortune has long arms, and can rely on her range advantage to constantly suppress the opponent and consume health during the laning phase; Luo, as one of the strongest supports in the current version, has a strong ability to start a team fight. When a team fight is deadlocked, Luo's decisive ultimate move can instantly help the team tear through the opponent's defense and change the direction of the battle."

Wang Duoduo nodded in agreement: "That's right, KZ is going to put huge pressure on GT's bottom lane during the laning phase, and at the same time, they are fully prepared for teamfights. It all depends on how GT responds to them next."

At this moment, GT locked onto Irelia without any hesitation in the third hand.

"GT picked Irelia in the third pick! This pick was crucial. Once Irelia was picked, the overall game tempo started to speed up significantly!"

"Indeed, EZ is fast in formation and can deal considerable damage in the early stage. Irelia is a mid-term warrior and her combat power explodes after her equipment is formed. The combination of these two heroes will make the teamfighting strength curve very exaggerated. And Irelia has another great advantage. She is a typical swing position and can play in the middle or top position."

Haokai went on to say: "This can easily give us an advantage in the second round of BP. It is difficult for the enemy to judge whether Irelia will go to the top lane or the middle lane, and they will be caught in a dilemma in BP. This also fully demonstrates that GT is strong as a whole, which gives them the confidence to make such a bold and sophisticated BP decision. If it were other teams, they would not be so comfortable doing this kind of BP on the red side!"

Of course, this sentence is more of a compliment to GT.

After all, it is an LPL team. They have achieved a breakthrough from zero and are very likely to win the championship this year.

There is no problem at all in blowing a few words at this time.

GT's fourth choice was to ban Galio directly. The combination of Galio and Olaf has an exaggerated effect. It can bring huge pressure whether it is invading the jungle or charging into a team battle. GT does not want to give KZ the opportunity to play this strong combination.

Then GT banned Fiora again. KZ hesitated briefly during the BP phase, and the atmosphere on the scene became tense.

After some intense discussion and consideration, they finally decided to ban Ornn.

There is a clear logic behind this decision, and they are increasingly certain that Irelia will go mid lane.

After all, GT replaced GimGoon and later banned Fiora. All signs indicate that this was a careful layout to resist pressure in the top lane.

The last move was to move the prince away. The Wushuang prince was still very powerful.

No matter how this person plays the game, whether he always focuses on the middle lane, his ability to drive the early rhythm after getting the Prince is still very strong.

Just when everyone was guessing what GT would choose, they chose Maokai without hesitation in the fourth pick.

This operation instantly shocked the audience and commentators, which was really surprising. After all, in the current version, the strength of Maokai is not outstanding among all the top heroes, and his appearance rate in the game is not high.

Shen Chao frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "This Treant pick is very interesting, but it does leave the counter position to the jungler, and the mid lane Irelia has also been decided. Let's see how GT arranges the tactics here."

As for KZ, they responded quickly to GT's pick and chose Grasshopper.

Haokai said excitedly: "Sure enough, KZ chose Grasshopper to match Olaf, which is exactly in line with our previous speculation that their mid lane is more inclined to functional heroes. Other functional mid laners may find it difficult to stabilize the line due to insufficient damage or fragile body.

But the grasshopper is different. He has a strong ability to survive. As long as he doesn't want to die, it is almost impossible to be killed with his own skills. On the line, he only needs to keep releasing worms to push the line, pay attention to keeping a distance, and avoid being cut by the knife girl, so that he can develop steadily. "

In the final move, KZ locked on the top laner Master Yi. Wang Duoduo analyzed: "The role of Master Yi in the top lane and teamfights in this version cannot be underestimated. His one-on-one ability is very strong, and he can fight against any top lane hero that GT may have. Moreover, in the late stage of a teamfight, once Master Yi has developed, he can play a key role in cutting the back row or taking damage. The integrity of KZ's lineup and its late-stage teamfight ability have been greatly improved."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the venue was extremely tense, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen of GT's final hero selection like spotlights.

The audience was whispering to each other, and the commentators started to predict the outcome. The entire stadium seemed to have turned into a large-scale reasoning scene.

Everyone was racking their brains to guess. If Irelia went to the middle lane, the top lane would have to face Master Yi chosen by KZ. For a while, there didn't seem to be many suitable counter heroes.

Someone murmured quietly that if you want to supplement AP damage, Gragas is indeed a good choice. Not only can Gragas supplement the team's missing spell damage, but it also adds an extra ability to start a team fight.

This will prevent the team from focusing on strong offense in the early and middle stages, and from relying solely on the tree's ultimate to start a team fight.

After all, in a fierce game, if you want to take the initiative in the early and middle stages, without a reliable team initiator, many tactics will be difficult to implement effectively.

However, just when everyone was looking forward to the appearance of Gragas or other expected heroes, GT's final lock made the whole audience explode.

On the screen, the avatar of the little gunner, Xiao Pao, lit up, and the whole audience was shocked!
This choice was like a bombshell, leaving everyone scratching their heads.

The audience looked at each other in bewilderment. The commentators were also stunned. After a brief silence, various exclamations and discussions intertwined together. Everyone was wondering what the tactical intention of this little cannon was?
Is it a clever move with a deeper meaning, or a wrong decision?

Shen Chao was the first to break the silence, frowning and analyzing: "Looking at the current lineup, choosing Tristana is really puzzling."

"Under conventional thinking, choosing Tristana against Master Yi in the top lane will not be an effective counter, and in teamfights, Tristana's survival environment will also be a big problem.

But GT certainly wouldn't make a rash choice without any preparation. Did they plan to let Tristana go mid? Using Tristana's high mobility and ability to push the lane to suppress the leech? "

Tristana is really good at clearing out small bugs with her e skill.

But it is also easy to be targeted by the opponent. Once you don’t have the W skill, you will be completely killed by one press of the ultimate skill.

In addition, Olaf is not afraid of Tristana's ultimate.

Activating the ultimate move is like a mad dog...

Judging from the lineup, this Tristana doesn't seem to be a good choice.

But the hero had already been locked in, and before everyone's doubts were dissipated, the game entered the hero exchange phase.

Under everyone's watch, GT made an amazing adjustment, placing Tristana directly in the middle lane and Irelia going to the top lane.

The position of this big tree directly becomes the jungle!
In this way, the lineups of both sides were determined.

Blue team: Weapon on top, Olaf on jungle, Shaka in mid, and Caitlyn and Rakan on bottom.

Red team: Irelia on top, Maokai on jungle, Tristana in mid, and Ezreal and Madison on bottom.

Shen Chao frowned, his eyes full of doubt and thought. He slowly said, "The choice of playing as a jungler has indeed appeared in previous games."

"But you have to know that in the current version, most mainstream junglers are highly mobile and aggressive, and Maokai is not superior in this regard."

"Although Maokai has excellent control skills and a certain degree of tankiness, and can provide key control and front-line support in team battles, in terms of early jungle confrontation and rhythm, Maokai is clearly at a disadvantage compared to strong junglers like Olaf..."

At this time, the coaches from both sides had come to the center of the stage and shook hands.

The first game is about to begin! (End of this chapter)
