Since there is no appearance stage now, the preparation for the game is very fast. After simple equipment debugging, it enters the BP stage.
In the first game, KT BAN first on the blue side, HLE on the red side.
At the beginning, the blue side directly bans the wet nurse, and the red side assumes the BAN position of Aphelios.
Since its birth, the hero Aphelios has been nerfed again and again. However, he is still a T0-level AD hero. The diversity of weapons makes Aphelios excellent in both online and team-fighting abilities.
Forget about these, general AD cores basically need a three-piece set to show their power. Aphelios only needs an endless and split bow to create huge AOE in team battles. This hero can fight several enemies.
This scene is too common in RANK including competitions.
It can be said that except for the lack of displacement, this hero has basically no shortcomings. Of course, even without displacement, many assassins who come to attack may not be able to beat Aphelios. His burst is too high if the weapon is suitable.
In this version where AD is not worthy of being compared to warrior assassins, the current Aphelios is truly a heretic.
KT chose BAN to drop Yumi as their second choice, and they were also wary of Hanwha’s black technology.
Hanwha not only overturned T1 with the double-skinned combination of Yumika and Olaf, but also used combinations such as cats and trolls and centaurs.
Hanwha should be regarded as the first team in the LCK to adopt wild core tactics this season.
Because Hanwha does not have a genuine AD at all, Vsta in the bottom lane is a support player. After the transfer of Lehends this season, Vsta temporarily moved to the AD position.
After all, he is not an AD debut player. Vsta often falls behind by more than 30 dollars after ten minutes of laning. In this case, he cannot bear too many core output tasks. Vsta basically chooses tool AD to cooperate with his teammates.
Handborn with half a C less than other teams, Hanwha’s team relied more on Nosuke’s rhythm to open up the situation.
It was unclear what jungler the opponent might choose to serve as Cat's vehicle, so KT chose to ban Cat.
HLE on the red side used a backhand to ban Sett. Lin Cheng’s Sett in the last round was still very intimidating.
ˆ KT’s third BAN slot was given to Olaf.
The red side chooses to ban Senna in the third move.
Starting to select people, the blue side locked the prince first.
I remember: "KT chose to win the Prince for Bono first. Bono's usage rate of Prince has been very high recently. Bono used Prince in three games in the two games KT won so far."
Cat: "This hero is really easy to match. Whether it is a female gun or Rambo, including some big recruit heroes, it is a good choice."
Seeing KT's Prince, Hanwha locked the female gun with his backhand, not giving the opponent's prince a chance to engage in an explosive team fight with the female gun.
Of course, the female gunner, like other non-displacement ADs, is also afraid of the hero Prince.
Following Han Hua's second hero, he revealed the Enchantress. You and I cannot be afraid of both the C position and the prince.
The blue square locked EZ and Bing Nv on the second and third floors.
I remember: "Ice Girl! I haven't seen this hero for a long time. The appearance rate was very high in the spring game last year, but it rarely appeared after that."
Cat: "Hmm~~~ Ice Girl and Kuro go well together! They are both bastards, but this hero is really good at beating witches."
I remember: "What do you mean? Do you mean you are a bastard if you play Ice Girl? Are you hinting at me, Brother Li? Faker was the player with the highest usage rate of Ice Girl in last spring split."
Cat: "That's different. Some players play like bastards in everything, and some players are good at everything. You can only tell them by their ID."
I remember that I immediately raised my voice: "Hey! There's something wrong with you. Who are you implying? Why do I feel like you're insinuating a certain mid laner in our LPL?"
Cat immediately denied: "No way! Don't mess with my rhythm. I'm afraid of being criticized. What I'm talking about is Kuro, okay? It doesn't involve anyone else."
Remember to laugh: "Then you are going too far! Why are you not afraid of being criticized if you name Kuro?"
Cat responded smoothly: "It's okay, Kuro has few fans."
The two looked at each other and smiled on the commentary stage, as if Kuro was not as unscrupulous as his fans.
“Fuck! What a reality, Kuro has few fans.”
“Cat King: I’m just bullying Kuro, what’s wrong with not having any fans? Someone came to Weibo and attacked me”
“Good guy! You act like a gangster in everything you do. Why do I think you are talking about Xiaohu?”
“I also think the word mid laner is used to describe Xiaohu, 233333.”
“Kuro is known as the Korean tiger, and the cat king is a black and white guy.”
“Trivia: Li Bingbing is the skater with the highest winning rate in the world and the most wins. Do you think Li is a fool?”
Hanhua on the red side chose Blind Sin as the third hero. This hero is regarded as the classic partner of Enchantress.
The midfield combination of Blind Monk and Enchantress does not seem to have any classic combo combination, but both heroes combine mobility and explosiveness. In the early stage, few other midfielder combinations can compete with their early strength.
In the second round of BANs, Hanwha BANed Crocodile first on the red side. This was not because it was aimed at Lin Cheng’s hero pool, but Crocodile was currently the hero on the field that could maximize KT’s early-stage confrontation intensity in the upper half.
KT on the blue side used his backhand ban to drop Thresh to prevent Thresh's lantern from causing trouble for the prince's group start.
Hanwha’s last BAN slot was given to Lucian.
The BAN of Lucian in this hand was too sudden. The opponent must know that Lin Cheng does not often play Lucian as a hero. In the last hand of BAN like this, Lin Cheng felt that the opponent would probably play a captain or a sword demon.
Kang Dongxun asked about it, and Lin Cheng said that both the sword demon and the captain can be ignored, and the key is to focus on the support.
Hence, KT was careful not to use BAN in his last move. Lehends had too many signature heroes, so KT could only choose to limit him to heroes with strong roaming support capabilities.
Sure enough, the fourth floor of Hanwha chose Sword Demon as expected.
Originally, Lin Cheng wanted to choose Kennen, but Kennen's combination with his own lineup was a bit strange. Although the control was sufficient, the damage type was a bit too single.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Cheng and Kang Dongxun discussed it and asked their teammates to help lock down Kled.
Blue’s last two choices are Kled and Titan.
Remember: "Wow! KT's lineup is just to mess up the opponent's face. Everyone except EZ must enter the field."
Cat: "This lineup is very powerful and has a strong ability to find opportunities. The female gun Hanwha chose first is a bit difficult to perform."
The red side selected Taric in the last counter position, obviously hoping to use Taric's ultimate move to limit the wave of damage caused by KT entering the field.
