It is undoubtedly a very uncomfortable thing for RNG to give the first two BAN positions to Daomei and Qinggangying on the blue side.
But there is no way, this is the pressure we must bear when facing KT.
Not only RNG, but other teams as well.
Meeting KT is equivalent to having only one BAN position in the first round, and whoever chooses to draft will be sweating profusely.
This situation is obviously not normal. Everyone has been waiting to see how Riot Games will deal with it. There has been speculation for a long time that Dao Mei and Qinggang Shadow Club will be weakened because of Lin Cheng.
But the fist was indifferent.
These two heroes are not very powerful right now, so how can they be reduced?
It can’t be said that Fist used the knife specifically to target Lin Cheng.
Many self-media like to promote that Ancient Era Riot weakened a certain hero because of Faker, and even more outrageously, the Killing Sword was deleted because of a certain anchor, but obviously these statements are just speculation to attract attention.
Riot will not change heroes or equipment because of a certain person. Riot will only make changes when there are enough data samples to prove that changes are needed.
It seems that the previous weakening of heroes such as Galio and Ryze was aimed at Faker, but the problem is that those heroes can also produce very good results in the hands of other professional players, and a large amount of RANK data has already shown that Galio and Ryze at that time were very effective.
The strength exceeds the standard.
This is fundamentally different from Lin Cheng's current situation.
Lin Cheng can use Daomei and Qinggangying to dominate the top lane, but other players cannot.
In terms of hero strength alone, the current top laner Sword Girl in RANK is a bit weak to squeeze into the T2 echelon. Qinggangying’s performance against top tanks is okay due to the presence of divine points, but it’s no big deal against Gwen and Captain, who are strong in the current version.
statement.
And even if it needs to be cut, the designer only uses the knife towards the gods, which has nothing to do with the Qinggang Shadow itself.
In this way, Riot has no reason to target these two heroes.
Will it be allowed to be played by other players if it is further reduced?
The situation was so awkward.
In fact, Lin Cheng doesn't want to take advantage of his opponent's BAN position. He has a champion skin but can't use it, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
No one wants to see this kind of scene, so someone always needs to take a step back.
If Lin Cheng can't retreat, then it depends on his opponent's ideological consciousness.
It's a pity that RNG didn't seem to be aware enough from the beginning.
KT gave the second BAN position to the monkey on red.
RNG thought for a while, and the third BAN chose to give the card.
Banning your own cards with your own hands is something Rookie never thought about before this year.
So my cards are so strong?
Who dares to say that I, Song Yijin, play green cards?
KT pressed down the Enchantress with his backhand.
Start selecting people, and the blue square on the first floor will light up Gwen first.
Miller: "Grab Gwen! Bingo's signature is no problem! To be on the safe side, in the first game, pick the best hero for the top lane first."
Wanwan: "But Lucian is still outside now! As soon as he grabs Gwen, he will let Luna go to KT! Does RNG really dare?"
Before he finished speaking, RNG replaced Gwen with Lucian on the first floor, but it was still not locked.
Zeyuan: "Still hesitating! After all, Luna is the absolute number one bottom lane combination in the current version, and RNG doesn't dare to let it go to KT easily."
Wanwan: "Actually, KT has personally demonstrated Luna's solution in the previous semi-finals. They used Kallie to great effect against Luna, but RNG's bottom lane may not be able to play Kallie."
Miller: "This is really uncomfortable! RNG's system really doesn't support them playing Kalista in the bottom lane, and Xiao Ming is also better at hard support like Titan."
Zeyuan: "Now the first problem has been thrown in RNG's face. Lucian really needs to be taken! Because it will be difficult to play if you let your opponent play in the bottom lane, but once Gwen is backhanded by KT, Bing Ge will be very difficult.
Uncomfortable."
"What should I say? Do you dare to let Gwen go to Brother Orange? Is Brother Bing confident?"
It is obviously difficult for RNG to choose between Gwen and Lucian, as it has yet to decide on a hero.
In the player footage, RNG members are still communicating frantically.
"Someone started sweating profusely on the first floor (dog head)"
"Believe in yourself! Bing has been practicing captain for a few days, so what if Gwen lets him go?"
"Haha! How many days of practice do you think you're good enough?"
"I think it’s better to grab Gwen! The hero Lucian is actually not very compatible with Gala"
"Gala is not aggressive in the lane, so why not grab Gwen and get Kai'Sa later"
"Take Kai'Sa to beat Luna? Are you okay?"
In the end, the blue side locked Lucian when time almost ran out.
The red square immediately locked Gwen on the first floor.
In the camera, Lin Cheng is smiling and talking to his teammates.
Huang Za's heart suddenly tightened in front of the screen.
The man laughed again!
horrible!
Last time, he just laughed and beat Abin as a farewell guest.
Bad memories started to flood back.
Immediately afterwards, KT locked Kalista down on the second floor.
Zeyuan: "Sure enough! KT is going to take Khaled! Deft and Beryl are the only bottom lane combinations that have used Khaled in this MSI."
Miller: "The performance of RNG's bottom lane is crucial! If Luna, who grabs the lead, does not play, the difficulty of RNG's BP in the next round will soar to another level."
"Yes!"
Wanwan tried her best to sound tactful, "Originally, BP is very uncomfortable because of Brother Chengzi's existence. If RNG can solve it with Luna, but the opponent has Luna to deal with it, but there is no Kallie to deal with it, I will go to jail just thinking about it."
Lock Nami + Captain on the second and third floors of the blue square.
At the scene, the few RNG fans applauded Abin.
"Show your sword! Bing Ge's captain! Just because I lost last time doesn't mean I will always lose. This time A Bin will regain his place after special training."
As soon as Miller finished speaking, the camera happened to show Abin.
He stared at the screen without saying a word.
"Brother Bing has murderous intent in his eyes."
Wanwan couldn't hold herself any longer and tried hard to grit her teeth to prevent herself from laughing.
She didn't see the murderous look in Abin's little eyes.
The barrage was filled with sword-wielding expressions, and countless emperors were full of expectations for the results of Abin's special training.
Including EDG fans are also supporting.
It's not a case of unanimous publicity, the main thing is that Brother Holy Spear also contributed.
If RNG really upsets KT and wins the championship today, then EDG will have at least one-third of the credit for this championship.
On the third floor of the red square, Lenata was locked without any accident.
It's very rare that neither side starts the middle field in the first round.
Second round of BAN people.
The red side presses Foego + Bear.
The blue RNG bans Sylas + Wei.
The selection started, and KT showed Pig Girl first on the fourth floor.
There were not many choices left, and RNG quickly decided on Blind Sin + Galio as their final two hands.
KT sacrificed Jace on the fifth floor.
Zeyuan: "Jace! I almost forgot that Rookie still has this skill! I was still thinking that it would be difficult for KT to play a traditional mage in the mid lane with Ueno and Jungle double AP."
Wanwan: "It's very targeted. In this move, Jace wants to suppress Galio in the middle, so that Xiaohu can't roam easily in the early stage."
Miller: "I have to say that although last year's warrior version Rookie struggled a bit on IG, he has played very well as Jayce before."
"It might be very slow for an old player like this to train him as a new warrior, but the things he already has in his hero pool still have something to say."
