The day for the team's second round of competition is quickly approaching.
LongZhu and SKT are both established and strong teams with a large number of fans. Before the game even started, fans of each team started fighting with each other on the Internet.
The audience at the scene also held up lights and signs to support their team and waited for the final result of the game.

There is still one hour left before the official start of the game.
As a coach, Jin Zhenxun is carefully looking at his notebook, which records the appearance rate and winning rate of all heroes this season.
Ba sat together with his eyes closed, while Blank played a mobile game.
Li Xianghe was still reading on the sofa as before.
The difference from before was that this time she was not reading world famous books, but fashion magazines.
Wolf giggled while scrolling through his circle of friends to see what interesting things had happened recently.
Su Yuhang, on the other hand, watched the situation outside the court through the broadcast TV in the lounge.
He will not start today.
According to the coach's idea, Ba is going to appear first to deal with LZ's bottom lane combination.
The game was about to start. Jin Zhenxun closed his notebook and clapped his hands to signal everyone's attention.
"Ba will come on stage later. Let's use the previous combination, Ashe and Miss Fortune."
With the blessing of the talented comet, this bottom lane combination has terrifying online consumption capabilities. The double deceleration plus the advantage of range can gain a great advantage and initiative in the early stage.
"After gaining the advantage online, cooperate with Blank to control the dragon and the Rift Pioneer." Jin Zhenxun's idea is very clear. He uses the line power to gain control of neutral resources, thereby slowly expanding the advantage.
"If the dragon's attributes are not good or the bottom lane is targeted, Blank, you can go to the top lane to open up the situation. At least you can control the Rift Herald in your own hands."
"If we can control the Rift Herald, the best option is to knock down one of the opponent's towers to expand the field of vision."
"In the mid-term, take advantage of the field of vision to start a team or catch people in the jungle."
"The best time is after the Baron is refreshed. In this way, when the opponent has few people, we have a high chance of getting Baron Nash and use BUFF to advance."
If you can achieve this step, it means you are very close to the final victory.
"Don't be anxious when you are at a disadvantage. Take it step by step. In terms of BP, I will choose a relatively late-stage lineup in this round. Even if we make mistakes, we can delay it in the later stages."
The team he faced before was composed of newcomers like FIN, so Kim Jung-hoon naturally didn't have anything to worry about.
But this time it was different. The opponent was a strong and established team, so after receiving the schedule notification, she conducted in-depth research on BP and selection.
"The rest depends on everyone's performance on the court. I hope everyone can successfully win this semi-final and enter the final!"
The KeSPA Cup trophy does not hold much value for SKT, which has won the World Championship three times. The important thing is to boost the morale of the players and help them get out of the shadow of the World Championship.
It's time to enter.
According to the order, Untara, who is the top laner, is the first to appear.
The host standing on the stage introduced the team members one by one.
The audience was very enthusiastic, and everyone applauded when they came out.
The most popular one is still the girl with her long straight hair spread over her shoulders. She is wearing a plain white team uniform and standing in the middle of the team.
Kim Jung-hoon stood at the end wearing a neat suit.
Players from both sides enter the stage and BP begins.
SKT on the blue side banned Jayce, Rockbird, and Desert Emperor in the first round.
Jayce is banned because of the opponent's top laner Khan's extremely strong personal ability.
If you get such a highly oppressive hero, the top lane will most likely require too much care from the jungler, making it difficult to take advantage of the bottom lane.
As for the Rock Bird, because of its strong version, its roaming support and damage are excellent in all aspects.
Azir Bdd was used against the JAG team in the first round of the KeSPA Cup, and he had a wonderful performance with several big moves to push back and open up the team.
The red side LZ banned Ezreal, Ornn, and Xerath in the first round.
Ornn can upgrade equipment for teammates, and Xerath has strong consumption ability online.
As for Ezreal, let the opponent choose Ashe's smoke bomb.
"SKT really plans to continue its previous style and directly snatched Miss Fortune in the first round." After greeting everyone, Zhou Yongjun, who was sitting in the commentary box, turned his attention to the BP of the two teams.
"And LZ did not hesitate to lock Sejuani and Lost Fang." Today's partner with this "Roaring Sister" is another leading actress of OGN - Jin Mina.
"Sejuani also has good dominance in the jungle, Gnar is strong in lane, and is also good in team battles. It is a very good choice to give it to Khan, who has excellent personal ability." She wore a high ponytail and wore a light blue suit.
The girl in the suit continued.
She originally thought she would see Su Yuhang on the commentary stage this time, looking youthful and smiling like a cute boy.
But unfortunately, he did not play in the first game.
"SKT chose to use Jarvan to deal with Sejuani, and the top laner locked Kennen, a team fighting hero."
Jin Zhenxun hesitated for a while, and decided to avoid his edge in the top lane, choosing a teamfighting ability that was not inferior to Gnar's Furious Heart.
"In the middle, LZ selected Rune Mage Ryze, who performed well in Bdd."
Because SKT still had no choice of mid lane heroes, LZ banned Serpent's Embrace and Clockwork Demon in succession.
Jin Zhenxun also banned Ni Yuxia and Niutou Chief in response to the opponent's good performance in the bottom lane.
"In the last round of selection, Pray locked in the fate-playing master Jhin, and SKT chose the combination of Ice Archer and Miss Fortune." Zhou Yongjun chuckled softly, "We can see that this bottom lane combination seems to be favored by Kkoma.
Many times in the bottom lane, Ashe and the bounty hunter were paired together.”
"I thought I could see the duel between Su Yuhang and Pray, but I didn't expect that SKT would choose Bang as the starter."
She was deeply impressed by the boy who used Ice Shooter to lead the team to victory.
"Before, they always hoped to open a breakthrough in the bottom lane, and then switch lanes and compete for neutral resources." Jin Minna also has her own understanding of the BP of both sides.
"Perhaps it is for this reason that SKT chose to play Ba, a relatively experienced bottom lane combination."
"This time they are facing off against Pray, a bottom lane combination that also has strong dominance."
"I personally feel that in this game, both junglers will focus on the bottom lane. Whoever can gain the advantage first will have the initiative."
Regarding Jin Minna's statement, Zhou Yongjun nodded in agreement.
"SKT's last choice was Malzahar, while LZ added the Dawn Goddess as a support to enhance the team's control and team-starting capabilities."
At this point, the lineups of both sides have been determined.
