Chapter 287 The weirder the lineup, the faster we win?

As night slowly fell and the six o'clock bell rang on time, the atmosphere in Dalian Sports Center became increasingly heated.

Amid the deafening cheers and shouts of the audience, the warm atmosphere seemed to overturn the entire venue.

Members of the GT and AFs teams took the seats.

"Okay, the third game of the finals officially begins!" The commentator's passionate and penetrating voice spread throughout the sports center through the microphone, instantly igniting the already high atmosphere on the scene.

"Currently LPL is leading 2-0. For LCK, this game is a life-and-death battle!" Wang Duoduo looked focused, with a hint of nervousness in his tone, and quickly pointed out the tense and exciting game situation to the audience.

After that, Wawa, who was standing on the right, immediately analyzed: "AFs was very brave in the last round, including Kiin, who was the top laner in the Korean Asian Games. His performance in the top lane was also very exaggerated."

In his words, he fully affirmed the strength of the AFs team and player Kiin.

Miller listened carefully and nodded continuously, then expressed his opinion: "Not bad, but I feel that theshy will not lose to them. But if they seize this life-and-death situation, GT should be cautious in this game."

His words were clear and logical. He not only acknowledged the strength of theshy, a player from the GT team, but also reminded everyone that the AFs team might burst out with amazing combat power in this crucial game.

However, LPL still has a great psychological advantage in this game.

So many top teams in the LCK region have been beaten, and you, AFs, still want to make a comeback?

The big screen at the scene switched directly to the player interface at this time, and both sides entered the bp stage! Everyone held their breath and stared at the screen closely, as if they could see the direction of this game in advance through the flickering picture.

AFs took down Leblanc on the first floor. The intention was very obvious, and it was obviously to directly defend against Li Yi.

Recalling the game of LeBron James in the GT Summer Season, Li Yi's LeBron James was agile and graceful, moving freely among the crowd. Her super high damage and extreme operation made the opponents retreat step by step.

AFs was naturally still in fear and did not dare to let Li Yi get this powerful weapon.

GT countered the opponent's move and defeated Luo.

Luo's ability to start and pull the team in a team fight should not be underestimated. GT's ban is also to disrupt AFs' tactical layout and make it difficult for their bottom lane combination to perform well.

AFs then took down Shen. Shen's flexible mobility and powerful ability to enter the field were crucial whether it was driving the rhythm in the early stage or cutting the back row in the later team battles.

GT also responded quickly by banning Sejuani. Wang Duoduo saw this and quickly analyzed: "Sejuani also received a wave of buffs in 8.13 and is currently the mainstream jungler." This ban is undoubtedly intended to limit AFs jungler's hero choices, making it harder for them to control the rhythm in the jungle.

The situation became increasingly tense. AFs took down Kled in the third pick, not allowing GT to use such a fast-paced hero.

Kled's early laning suppression and small-scale teamfight charging capabilities are both outstanding. AFs obviously doesn't want GT to get this hero who can open up the situation in the early and mid-game.

On the BP interface, GT took out Zac. As for the top lane hero, they had no intention of banning him at all.

There was a sudden discussion from the audience, and the commentator also spoke in confusion: "Then the Sword Demon is released..." The hero Sword Demon is very strong after the rework. He has strong recovery and output capabilities in team battles. Even if he is killed, he can be resurrected. Once he develops, he will be an extremely terrifying existence.

This move seems to have laid some foreshadowing.

AFs was originally a top lane team, and when they saw the hero Aatrox was released, they naturally locked him down directly.

As AFs locked onto the Aatrox, the atmosphere on the scene became increasingly tense, like a string that could break at any time.

The audience's eyes were glued to the big screen, and their breathing became more rapid as the BP progressed.

Commentator Miller frowned, his eyes flashing with thought, and said: "AFs picked up the Aatrox without hesitation. It seems that they are very confident in Kiin's Aatrox and want to open up the situation around the top lane. But since GT released the Aatrox, they must have a countermeasure."

Wang Duoduo took over the conversation and added: "That's right, and GT hasn't banned the top lane hero yet. I guess they are either fully confident in TheShy's laning ability, or they have prepared a special tactic against the Aatrox."

Just when the audience was full of doubts and wondering how GT would deal with the Sword Demon, they saw GT directly lock down Iron Man and Rambo on the first and second floors. In an instant, the scene exploded, and the audience exclaimed one after another.

When these two heroes appeared, Miller's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had caught a key clue. He said as if he had suddenly realized something: "I think I understand why this lineup was chosen. This is to put Aatrox and take Iron Man! At first glance, this exchange doesn't seem to be very profitable. Although Iron Man is very strong, in the current version, he is definitely not as strong as Aatrox."

Wang Duoduo quickly followed the train of thought and added, "That being said, GT will definitely not do anything without confidence. Although Iron Man is slightly inferior to Sword Demon in overall strength, if Xiu Shen takes it, the advantage in the middle lane is still relatively large..."

Kuro looked at Tienan's avatar on the screen, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a confident smile.

He thought to himself, Iron Man... Still not too much pressure, this is what you taught us, Sease! Just use Noxus to counter, then use your tricks to win this game.

At this moment, he exuded an aura of being the best and most capable person, and it was true that he was quite confident at this moment.

He knows very well that as long as he wins this game, he and his teammates will become the saviors of the LCK region. This honor and responsibility make his eyes more determined.

So, AFs locked down Noxus without hesitation on the second floor, and quickly took down the jungle Gragas on the third floor.

After all, they are aware of the shortcomings of their own lineup, the lack of AP damage and means to start a team fight. Gragas' control and team-fighting ability can make up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.

However, just when AFs felt that their lineup was gradually taking shape, GT locked in Morgana in the third pick.

Seeing this scene, the AFs players felt something was wrong at this moment.

The coach frowned and whispered to his players off the stage, seemingly reassessing the situation.

Because the combination of Morgana and Malphite is currently the strongest in the bottom lane, it is generally difficult to break through them.

This Morgana is also good at restraining Gragas from starting a team fight, as problems can easily arise once the gray shield is given.

But if it's not Iron Man, then who is the mid laner? It can't be Rambo, right?

Kuro frowned at the moment, his eyes full of confusion, staring closely at the hero selected by GT on the screen. Not only him, but everyone in the backstage of the LCK region also looked at each other, their faces full of confusion, as if they were at a loss.

A sense of uneasiness rose in their hearts, and they always felt that something was not right.

You know, the opponent is Sease! In the e-sports circle, Sease's strength and hero pool are well-known for being unfathomable.

Who can say for sure that he can't play the hero Rambo? Looking back at previous games, Sease always pulled out unexpected heroes at critical moments and performed amazing operations.

Although Rambo is not the most popular mid-lane hero, in Sease's hands, who can guarantee that he will not become the key to turning the tide of the battle?

Kuro couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart. The confidence that he had gained from choosing Noxus began to waver.

He kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind, trying to find a way to crack GT's strange lineup.

"What on earth is Sease planning?" kkoma couldn't help but speak, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

"No matter what he wants to do, we can only believe it." Coach Cui said in a deep voice, with determination in his eyes.

However, even though they said they wanted to believe, the uneasiness in their hearts was growing stronger and stronger.

After all, facing an opponent like Sease, any small mistake could lead to a complete loss.

However, when GT on the red team locked down Graves on the fourth floor in the second round, the situation on the scene suddenly became more confusing, and even the experienced commentators found it difficult to analyze the arrangements of each position for a while.

The hero, Graves, can supplement AD damage in the game, but it requires very good development to exert its powerful power.

Judging from this, Graves is likely to be used as a line hero.

But a puzzling question arises: Should we let the mid-lane Graves go against Noxus? This sounds really bold.

All of a sudden, all the commentators began to analyze enthusiastically, trying to find some clues from this complex lineup selection.

They expressed their opinions, some thought this was a clever move by GT, while others worried that it would put GT at a disadvantage.

As for AFs, after seeing GT choose Graves, they also fell into a brief period of hesitation and thought.

But the game doesn't wait for anyone, so they had to bite the bullet and lock in the combination of Kaisa and Titan.

Kaisa has flexible mobility and high output capabilities in the late game, while Titan can provide good control and protection. This combination is a relatively common and practical choice.

At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on GT's final choice.

The entire Dalian Sports Center was in complete silence, and everyone held their breath, waiting for GT's final hero to be confirmed.

Because only when this hero is selected can everyone analyze and determine the arrangement of each position based on the complete lineup, and further infer GT's tactical intentions.

Amid the audience's almost suffocating anticipation, GT chose Fiora without hesitation in the last pick!
As soon as the heroic image of Sword Lady appeared on the big screen, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

Everyone quickly started thinking and analyzing in their minds. If Fiora was chosen, then for this lineup, what they needed to consider was whether to have Rumble or Graves as the mid laner!

As a marksman hero, Graves has relatively long arms. In this case, if he goes to the mid lane to fight against Noxus, it seems that he has a greater advantage judging from the hero’s characteristics… Wang Duoduo pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, staring at the screen with a focused and serious expression, thinking secretly in his heart that Graves should be the mid laner.

However, in the next second, the position of the hero on the screen suddenly changed. He widened his eyes and took a closer look, and found that it was the mid laner Rambo!
"Rambo mid laner!" Everyone in the commentary booth couldn't help but shout at almost the same time, their voices full of surprise and excitement.

Miller's voice trembled slightly with excitement: "It's so unexpected. I didn't expect GT to let Rambo go mid! You know, Noxus is a line bully. He was researched by Show God to be able to perfectly restrain Iron Man. Although Rambo has the ability to consume from a distance, there is still a certain risk when facing Noxus!"

Wang Duoduo also hurriedly took over the conversation: "Yes, but this is also the boldness of GT! Rambo's ultimate skill has a devastating effect in team battles. As long as it can be stabilized in the laning phase, its role in the mid-to-late stage is immeasurable. Moreover, the choice of Rambo in the mid-lane completely disrupted AFs's previous possible tactical deployment!"

Wawa nodded at the side and added: "It's going to be interesting now. AFs will probably have to readjust their response strategy. The BP in this game was really exciting. Both sides were constantly playing games and constantly giving us surprises!"

The audience was also shocked by this unexpected choice. LPL fans were both excited and nervous, excited about GT's bold innovation and nervous about the challenges that Rambo might face as a mid laner.

LCK fans, on the other hand, showed worried expressions, secretly praying that there would be no subsequent problems due to Rambo.

The atmosphere in the entire Dalian Sports Center reached an unprecedented climax, and everyone couldn't wait to see the game officially begin.

The lineups of both sides were determined. The lineup of AFs on the blue side: top lane Aatrox, jungle Gragas, mid lane Noxus, and bottom lane duo Kaisa and Nautilus.

This lineup has both powerful output and damage-taking capabilities of Aatrox and Noxus in the front row, while Gragas can provide control and team-fighting. The combination of Kaisa and Nautilus has sufficient control and protection while ensuring output, and the overall lineup is relatively balanced.

The lineup of GT on the red side is: Fiora on top, Graves in the jungle, Rumble in the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo of Iron Man and Morgana.

The audience and commentators began to heatedly discuss the pros and cons of this lineup.

Miller touched his chin and was the first to express his opinion: "Everyone is also analyzing based on the lineups of both sides. GT is obviously a bayonet team. They have too few control methods. Looking at the entire lineup, except for Morgana's Q skill and the forced control of Iron Man's ultimate, there are almost no stable control skills."

"However, the weirder the lineup, the faster we win. I think the system chosen by GT is still trustworthy."

Wawa added: "This game depends on how both teams play based on the characteristics of their respective lineups."

The coaches from both sides came to the stage and shook hands.

Both sides entered the map reading stage, and this fateful match finally officially began!
