Although the commentary heightened the atmosphere to an extremely lively level, for the team, it was just an ordinary group match.
The main thing is training and testing, there is no need to reveal Sakura Girl’s ultimate move so early.
Therefore, EDG, who is on the blue side, banned people in the first round. It was very unexpected. Rambo, Male Spear and Lee Sin, the three heroes with the best performance of SKT so far in the group stage, were banned.
As for SKT's BP, it is the same as all the previous teams that faced EDG, banning Murloc, Enchantress and Jace.
This kind of treatment of the mid laner in the third office is not strange for TSM or G2, but when placed here with SKT who has the big devil, it seems a bit unconfident.
"Faker is so scared." The factory director couldn't help but sigh, "SKT has never done BP like this before!"
"It's also possible that Faker has designed a hero in the middle." Abramovich is still very wary of SKT coach Kkoma, "Now, top laner Galio, Kennen, Kled, and support laner Karma are all outside, and SKT actually doesn't have Kennen.
…”
As a hero who suddenly rose to prominence due to the use of the Vietnamese team in the group stage.
It can be said that with the exception of edg, who finished the playoffs and tried to practice privately because of mika's reminder, the other teams have basically not practiced for a few days.
This is also an important reason why most teams played Kennan during the few days of the group stage. They didn't have enough practice and didn't dare to steal it, and they were worried that the opponent's selection would change the situation of the battle.
"Let's see if Huni can play Kennen. My Kennen can continue to be hidden." Mouse said nonchalantly.
Now he has full confidence as a world champion. He is no longer the fearful challenger he once was, but a challenger who can stand here and accept the challenge.
"Then, should we choose Karma or Lulu?" Abu did not ask Meiko, but turned to Sakura girl Mika.
Because in edg’s system, both Kalma and Lulu are mid-support types. Unlike other teams’ understanding, Kalma has higher priority than Lulu. On edg’s side, Lulu has higher priority.
In Kalma.
"Give Meiko-senpai a way!" Meixia considered, "I'm not in a hurry to choose my hero."
So when the commentator remembered that he and Zeyuan were still discussing whether to grab Kenan or Karma.
edg unexpectedly locked the fairy witch Lulu with the first hand.
"Then skt's first two hands are Kenan Karma!" Zeyuan couldn't understand, "Are you trying to steal the way?"
"Ouch! I know, is there a possibility that Edg is doing a BP test to see if SKT's top laner Huni can play Kennen, and if Faker can play Karma in the mid lane?" I remember feeling like I realized this.
"Then edg and bp are too confident!" Su Xiaoyan was expressing shock.
Then skt's first two picks were locked.
They are top laner Kennen and jungler Cuishen.
This once again surprised the audience commentators.
"Cui Shen? Has Little Peanut ever played jungle Cui Shen in LCK? I remember he never picked Cui Shen!" No matter how much Zeyuan recalled, he couldn't remember that he had this hero.
"It shouldn't be possible, but in this case, SKT still didn't choose Karma. Should EDG take it?" I remember to explain again.
EDG has a Kalma Lulu, four guarantees and one ADC system, but in this game, not only did coach Abramovich dare not choose it out of trust in iboy, but even Mei Xia himself did not want to choose a passive Kalma to give to the opposing mid laner.
ter.
I saw the ice locked on the second floor of edg, and then the third floor jumped repeatedly between poodle, mantis, spider and Nunu.
Zeyuan didn't understand very well, "Edg still doesn't want to choose Kalmar, why don't you want to play four guarantees and one? The factory director is a little hesitant..."
I remember explaining the reason for EDG's hesitation, "I really didn't think before the game how Xiao Peanut could play Cuishen. So far, his MSI has always been male gun and mantis. I remember yesterday the male gun was so awesome."
On the edg player bench.
The hesitant factory manager asked Sakura Girl instead.
"Mika, what hero do you think I should get?"
"Since we are facing fans, let's get the poodle. I also want to see the director's poodle." Mixia calmly picked out the most challenging hero for the director, "And I can get the clockwork
Get you a shield!"
"Okay, then it's a poodle!" The factory director cheered up.
The poodle is locked on the third floor of edg.
It's skt's turn to choose someone.
"Coach, it looks like I'm still going to take the mid laner Karma?!" Faker asked kkoma behind him.
He doesn't like Kalma because he doesn't have any initiative, but any sacrifice for victory is worth it. Moreover, in the Spring Finals, he almost lost because of this system at the hands of kt. He did crazy exercises in the offseason.
"Don't worry, edg has a combination of clockwork mid laner and poodle." As a veteran coach, KKoma could see at a glance what Sakura was thinking.
He continued, "How about we select Karma first, and then grab Clockwork for you in the next round?"
"Ah! Okay!" Faker was, after all, young and vigorous. In his opinion, Clockwork was more proactive than Karma.
In the third hand, skt finally locked in Kalma, who had never been chosen.
Second round of bp.
EDG banned Varus and Rat, both heroes that Bang had used before.
SKT banned Lucian Kled. The former is to continue to block the hero of Summer, while the latter is more comfortable to deal with Kennen.
When it comes time to select people.
In skt’s fourth move, he directly grabbed the spring prepared by Mixia!
"Huh??" Meixia herself was confused. Although the clockwork poodle was a small trick, the strength of this version of the clockwork was average. The poodle had just been severely weakened, so it was not at the point where it needed to be targeted.
"kkoma is really... Mika, if you don't want to try it, just take Syndra, it's more comfortable to line up." Coach Abu suggested.
SKT's fourth-level mid laner, there are not many heroes who can effectively stop the clockwork and coordinate with the poodle.
But Mixia was angry.
"Coach Abu, senior Meiko, I changed my mind!"
"What?" Abu and Meiko asked at the same time.
"I want to play mid lane!" Meixia decided.
"This..." Abu hesitated.
"It's no problem. In addition to Lulu mid lane, I have so many routines hidden in my stomach. I will use one in the group stage. At worst, I will think of another one in a few days." Mixia said.
What Abramovich is worried about is not that the mid lane strategy will be exposed in advance. In fact, judging from the current direction of the game, Lu Lu and Karma will have a fixed position sooner or later. They may not have a chance to win the mid lane in the knockout rounds.
What he is afraid of is the bottom road
iboy crashes...
After yesterday's setback, iboy suddenly gained self-awareness, "But, I chose the ice..."
"Ice can do it too! Xiao Zhao, I have always believed in you!" Mei Xia continued to take the opportunity to provide moral support.
"iboy? What do you think?! With four guarantees and one ice, it's all up to you to deal damage!" Abu quickly winked at iboy.
iboy was extremely hesitant for a moment.
He had obviously already decided to go on with the rest of the game, but he didn't expect Sakura Girl to still trust him so much.
"I...I think...you can try the mid lane lane!" He mustered up the courage and answered with difficulty.
But iboy's heart is completely different from the guy in the playoffs who only wanted to show off his skills. At this moment, he has only one thought - that is, he cannot live up to Sakura Girl's trust!
"Okay! Can you please forgive me, senior Meiko?" Mixia put her hands together and apologized to Meiko.
"I don't care, just bring me Nami." Meiko shrugged.
In the end, Abu had no choice but to agree.
edg chose two players, locking the top order wine barrel to assist Nami.
At this point in the bp, the commentators and the audience were shocked for the third time.
"EDG assists Nami, which means the mid laner? No, the four-guarantee-one-iboy routine in the LPL finals is back again?!" Zeyuan doesn't trust this system very much, because he gives Sakura girl a supporting mid laner.
What a waste of her abilities.
"Just think of it as another attempt by edg. In fact, Lulu is quite good in the lane." Remember to work hard and be fair.
And when I saw edg selecting players, I went to skt for the final move.
"Give me this, don't worry, iboy's ice won't break me." Bang was confident.
"Well, it can be locked! In the mid lane, Abu chose a hero like this for Mika. It's really self-defeating." kkoma calmly explained the operation of the game, "Wanghu, you playing EDG are different from playing other teams.
, keep the middle point in the early stage. Although the ice in the bottom lane is very strong, you don’t need to take special care.”
"I understand, I understand!" Peanut expressed his understanding, "Clearlove is my idol, and I have studied his jungle ganking style for a long time."
During the conversation, skt made one final move without mercy, locking Kog'Maw, the Void Mouth!
The lineups of both sides are determined.
Blue square edg, top lane wine barrel, jungle lion dog, mid lane lane, adc ice and assist Nami.
Red side skt, top laner Kennen, jungler Cuishen, mid laner Clockwork, adc Big Mouth and assistant Karma.
