Lefty smiled and interacted with Toothpaste in the custom room. It was easy to see from the smile on his face that Lefty was really happy to play against Toothpaste today.
Ye Si also attaches great importance to this game with the JDG team. JDG is also a strong team in the LPL, except for the two teams that won the world championship in the past two years, IG and FPX.
This season, no other team is stronger than JDG, especially after the return of top laner ZOOM, they played more overall.
JDG is currently at the forefront of the standings, higher than the traditional powerhouses RNG and EDG of the LPL. It is a strong contender for Ye Si to win the championship. Of course he will pay attention to it.
The most powerful thing about JDG is not the five players on the field, but their head coach
Even TES head coach Bai Yueya didn't dare to show off when facing JDG coach Homme. The gap between him and coach Homme was at least eight blocks.
Even before the game started, Bai Yueya was uncharacteristically not having a long discussion with the players, and his expression was somewhat nervous.
TES was on the blue side in the first game. The white crescent moon directly sent the toothpaste's Tsar, Zoe and Silas to the ban position, and gave the ban position to the mid laner three times in a row, which is enough to show his attitude towards the middle lane in this game.
Coach Homme knew White Crescent's ideas from TES's first-hand ban position, but he did not choose to follow White Crescent's rhythm.
JDG first banned Syndra, who is best at left-handedness, and then directly gave the BP of Crocodile and Sword Girl with two hands. Needless to say, Crocodile is the dominant top laner in the current version.
White Crescent Moon walked behind the left hand. In order to avoid repeating the same mistake, he wanted to help the left hand determine the hero first this time when the first three bans were already targeting the middle.
For the sake of program effectiveness, event officials often assign TES game schedules to Cat King, which to a certain extent is considered official certification.
"Choose Sword Demon. Let's continue to find the rhythm in the upper half of this game." Bai Yueya stood behind 369 and directly asked him to take the Sword Demon, which was feeling hot recently.
"No! I think it's 50-50! I believe 369!"
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the Cat King directly changed the topic. Guan Zeyuan smiled and did not argue with him.
"There is a saying about 369's Sword Demon," said the Cat King on the commentary stage. As a former TES professional player, he is relatively familiar with 369.
"What can you say about this sword demon?" Guan Zeyuan praised the Cat King from the side.
After reading TES's first three hero selections, Cat King looked very satisfied, "Sword Demon, Victor and Aphelios, Yaya's BP is still so stable."
But Coach Homme has great trust in Toothpaste's hero pool. Even if Taoba plays the mid laner in the fifth team, he believes that Toothpaste's hero pool can still bring out other heroes.
Although he has only played two games, YES has become a popular support player in the current LPL, although most of the popularity comes from post-game interviews.
"No problem, come down the road and watch my performance." Ah Shui's expression was also full of confidence.
Dao Mei is a very popular hero in the current version. She can swing in the top and middle directions, especially the half-tank Dao Mei in the mid lane. She is completely the nemesis of traditional mages.
In the second round of BP, White Crescent continued to target the middle lane, and sent the two mid laners Rambo and Airplane to the ban position, hoping to completely block Toothpaste's hero pool.
Behind the huge popularity, there is strong strength supporting it.
"Can there be a friendship bonus? Didn't you say that Wanhao has the advantage in laning?" Guan Zeyuan said with a sidelong smile.
Therefore, Coach Homme really wants to test the depth of the support player YES. If he faces a team with the strength of DMO, he can use the support player Lee Sin to help him hard.
Guan Zeyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you think the line-up is open when Wan Hao fights against Sword Demon?"
However, when choosing the third-hand candidate, Bai Yueya fell into a brief thought. After a few seconds, he looked at the auxiliary player Ye Si and asked: "Is your auxiliary hero pool okay now?"
"So you think the smart guy will have the advantage in this round?"
White Crescent Moon nodded, and turned to look at Ah Shui, "Then let's choose Aphelios for the AD position. After practicing for so long, let's put it to use."
Facing the JDG team today, TES continuing to select the auxiliary blind monk is in vain.
"Ah? Isn't it that TheShy is known as Xiao369?" Guan Zeyuan also shook his head.
Without heroes such as Syndra, Silas, Tsar and Zoe, White Crescent wanted to let Left Hand play Victor in this game. Left Hand thought about it and saw that there was no other choice, so he nodded in agreement.
At present, the mainstream version of LPL is still hard-assisted.
"The hero Sword Demon himself doesn't have much to say, but 369's Sword Demon does. After all, 369 is known as Little TheShy."
"It's okay to be a half-step god descending to earth."
"This is a purely subjective evaluation. I am purely optimistic about 369's laning ability. JDG chose EZ as the second choice. This means giving up the bottom half."
"It stands to reason that the Wanhao has an advantage in the early stage of the fight. In close combat, the Sword Demon is difficult to fight in the early stage."
But if you don't perform well on the field and utter wild words in post-game interviews, you will only become a laughing stock and not attract so much attention.
Guan Zeyuan is also very optimistic about TES's lineup, especially after seeing JDG's third choice of cat support, he thinks TES's lineup is even better.
If Bai Yueya hears that the Cat King dares to call him Yaya now, Yaya will definitely be unhappy.
"Indeed, these three heroes have a front row, control, and output, and the lineup is three-dimensional. It is indeed perfect. After choosing two Nosuke who can lead the rhythm, TES's lineup is simply beautiful."
The combination of EZ and Cat has played relatively few times in the LPL.
Coach Homme gave the two ban positions in the second round to the auxiliary position, and sent Dawn and Titan to the ban position. This is obviously to continue to test the hero pool of Taobo's auxiliary YES.
White Crescent Moon knows very well that even if Aphelios is weakened by several versions, if you don't choose the first three moves, JDG will definitely target it in the second round of BP.
Hearing this, Ye Si had a hint of confidence on his face, "Dawn, Titan, Thresh and Luo, you can choose from these heroes."
Although the professional players of Cat King have left TES, Cat King still considers himself the spokesperson of TES on the commentary stage.
"You are so embarrassed now. Aren't you putting my brother 69 on the fire? Hey! JDG chooses a strong back hand. JDG is not convinced with this hand and needs to be strong."
This combination is currently popular in the Korean server rankings, but it is relatively niche, and it is a bit acclimated in the LPL. EZ and Cat are not suitable for the rhythm of crazy fighting in the early stage.
As early as the previous training match with TES, Coach Homme noticed that Taobo's new assistant was unusual. As expected, in the last two games, this assistant performed extremely well.
Coach Homme even hopes that YES can continue to choose to assist Lee Sin. If this is the case, he will not have to continue to use his brain to analyze this player.
An support that is obsessed with weird supports and does not seriously expand the hero pool is not worthy of Coach Homme's continued attention.
But will YES really be such a player? Coach Homme will wait and see.
I'm already ready to put it on the shelves. Another question, is it better to have four thousand two chapters, or to combine them into one chapter?
