Last year, KT won everything throughout the year, but MSI was not held as scheduled due to the epidemic.
The MSC, which was held instead in the middle of the season, is not even considered a formal competition in the eyes of many people. At least there has never been a blind draft round in Riot's official international competition before, and the competition with only two divisions participating is just a competition.
Even if Riot Games reissues the trophy later, it is still a pity that Lin Cheng will not have MSI, an honor second only to the S Championship.
Now, with this trophy in front of him, Lin Cheng feels particularly motivated.
He is not tired, just like when he first appeared.
There was no audience and no cheering at the scene. The host did not even introduce the players one by one, but directly invited out the C9 players at the back.
Ah P was very active. When he entered the venue, he opened his arms and waved, as if there were countless spectators cheering for him.
Lin Cheng actually admired Ah P a little. He was always slapped in the face for his flirtatious remarks but still remained optimistic. Even in this situation, he didn't feel embarrassed.
He is really happy!
Players from both sides began to debug the equipment and soon entered the BP stage of the game.
The group stage is a double round robin. In the first round, KT will ban first on the blue side.
As soon as it came up, the blue side banned Thresh first.
Even if the opponent is not as strong as themselves, the coaching staff still has to collect the opponent's information in advance and target them based on the opponent's player's hero pool.
The red side C9 is also unambiguous, and the sword girl is banned in seconds.
Lin Cheng was very angry: "Fuck! You've already come to Iceland, why don't you let me, Irelia, go? Are you crazy?"
Mr. Dai: "Lin Cheng, give up! Don't worry about your Irelia."
Lin Cheng sighed, and Xiaohuahua chuckled: "How can he not miss Irelia! That's his wife!"
Lin Cheng turned his head and glanced at Little Peanut sharply, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't try to trick me."
Little Peanut looked innocent: "What did I do to you? Don't you like Irelia?"
Lin Cheng ignored him.
Han Wanghao looks innocent and weak, but in fact his kind and honest appearance has turned completely dark when cut open.
No better than Lin Cheng.
During the fun, the second BAN slot on the blue side was given to Senna.
The red side backhand banned Qinggang Ying, showing full respect for Lin Cheng.
Although Lin Cheng did not go to the rivers and lakes in North America to massacre, his legend has already spread throughout the rivers and lakes.
In the third move, KT sent Zoe to the BAN position.
Ah P likes the hero Zoe very much. He even used Zoe in the bottom lane when playing AD in G2.
The red side struggled with the third move for a long time, and finally chose to ban the blind monk.
Wawa: "Lee Sin! As expected, he was banned! This hero Orange Brother is used a lot in RANK in the European server, and players from other teams are also practicing single-line Lee Sin crazily. This hero is likely to be a very high priority in this MSI.
character of."
Huainan: "This is so targeted! C9 first pressed Brother Chengzi's most famous Sword Girl + Qinggang Shadow, and then backhandedly pressed Brother Chengzi to use the most used blind monk in Iceland. Brother Chengzi was probably very helpless."
To be honest, Lin Cheng was a little disappointed when Lee Sin was banned. He has been playing a lot recently and even used Lee Sin to order food in the opening game.
He had already imagined the scene of kicking Ah P.
It's a pity that the opponent has obviously studied Lin Cheng's RANK.
When the selection began, the blue side did not hesitate too much and took Morgana in the first selection.
Morgana is the hero that Little Peanut has used the most in the rankings recently. This hero clears the jungle too fast. Although she is a bit more of a tool, KT’s big brother in the line can do C, and the jungler does not need to do too much.
.
Red square C9 backhand locks Qian Jue + Xiaopao.
Kindred has been enhanced in this version. Blaber often used this hero in the previous jungle core version.
Zven's small cannon was the subject of strict scrutiny during the G2 era, but most of the time he used this hero with a normal mind. C9 did not dare to let Zven take a bastard AD when his own team might suffer a loss on the road.
If the top lane explodes, and the bottom lane is a small cannon, maybe it can be saved. If the top lane explodes, and the bottom lane is a tool AD, it will be really difficult.
Anyway, the LCS playoffs have made the C9 coaching staff understand one thing:
Just relying on Ah P in the middle will definitely cause trouble! Even with an advantage of more than 10,000, Ah P may cause big trouble for you.
Seeing the opponent's choice, the blue side locked Varus + Wine Barrel on the second and third floors.
Barrel is very effective against Kindred and can be used as a swing position.
C9 locked Kalma on the third floor to make the cannon more comfortable online.
In the second round, the red side banned Jace + Lucian, and they were worried that the wine barrel would be shaken away from their support.
Because Morgana's jungler is obviously most comfortable paired with an AD mid laner like Jayce or Lucian, and both of these heroes can swing mid to top.
The super powerful mid laner Jayce was very famous in S9.
In the second round, the BAN players on the blue side chose to target the middle, knocking out Syndra and Victor.
In the second round of selection, C9 selected Gnar on the fourth floor.
Wawa: "C9 is a good move! At this time, there are no heroes on the field that are easy to beat Gnar in a conventional sense. Lucian Jayce has been banned. There is a high probability that Brother Orange will use the barrel."
Huainan: "But Brother Chengzi also has Riven. I don't know if I have a chance to see it. But in the first MSI game, I don't know if Brother Chengzi will use such a relatively competitive hero."
Before he finished speaking, the blue side chained Seti + Ice with the last two hands.
Wawa: "What is this? Top laner Ashe? Or mid laner Ashe? Or support Ashe? It all seems possible... Wait! I'm a little dizzy!"
Huainan: "KT is playing so well! The jungler Morgana is definitely confirmed, Sett may go to the middle and top, and the wine barrel can go to the auxiliary, then the ice will go to the middle? Or Varus will go to the middle and dream of returning to S5
?”
The barrage has exploded.
"Fuck! KT just does acrobatics when he comes up, right?"
"I feel like top laner Han Bing is coming!"
"Teacher Shai! This prosperous age is as you wish!"
"Brother Cheng, shouldn't he also watch Teacher Shao's live broadcast?"
"Varus is still on the right track, and when combined with Morgana, the explosion is really high."
"You said it's okay for Lucian to take a single route. Why should Han Bing and Varus do it?"
······
At this time, C9 was also dizzy when he saw the ice coming out, so he could only take out the clockwork with his last hand.
After all, no matter how fancy the opponent is, he can still hit him if he hits the target.
Start swapping heroes.
When the commentator saw Seti appearing on the first floor and Varus appearing on the third floor, he had already determined that KT was going to renaissance.
Wawa: "It's really mid laner Varus. I'm dreaming back to S5! Wei Shen, did you see it? The earth is round! Your original arrow flew back again."
Huainan: "KT's idea may be to use Varus as a substitute for Lucian. Varus in the middle can also be used with AP junglers like Morgana, but there is no movement to worry about being caught..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the blue square's first and third floors suddenly exchanged heroes.
Varus on the top lane, Seti in the mid lane.
Wawa: "What is this! Top laner Varus? You don't treat C9 as a human being, do you?"
Huainan: "I really can't understand this! Even if Brother Chengzi takes a top lane skateboard and analyzes it, what is the routine of top laner Verus?"
The fourth update is a bit late, sorry!
The fucking designated activities upstairs are so annoying
