Before Peanut could figure out whether to go to the bottom lane or not, both sides started BP.
LZ on the blue side took the lead in banning the Ice Shooter.
SKT pressed both hands in succession, and Jayce and Ezreal took the BAN position.
"It seems that Coach LZ attaches great importance to Su Yuhang's appearance." Looking at Ai Xi who appeared in the BAN position, Zhou Yongjun expressed his opinion.
"How can we not pay attention to it? After all, Su Yuhang won the MVP with terrifying statistics right from the beginning." Jin Minna was deeply impressed by this young man, who showed strong dominance in his first appearance.
Although he is only a substitute player, he has gained a lot of fans with his eye-catching appearance and wonderful performance on the field.
LZ hesitated for a while and disabled Sejuani and Ryze, who were unable to perform well on the red side.
As for the last BAN spot in the first round, SKT gave Ornn.
"It seems like LZ will choose Azir, who performed well before Bdd." In the last round of BP, SKT banned the Desert Emperor.
After being released in this round, LZ did not hesitate to select him in the first round. In the previous game against JAG, Bdd's Tsar performed brilliantly.
"What are you going to use as the bot lane hero?"
Because of the rotation of team members, Jin Zhenxun planned to listen to Su Yuhang's thoughts.
"Spear of Revenge." Su Yuhang looked through the shooter heroes and finally rested the mouse on Kalista.
"This hero is very powerful when paired with Thresh in the lane, and both sides can rescue each other. Even when faced with ganks, they have certain counterattack capabilities."
"Wolf, are you okay with using Thresh?" Jin Zhenxun asked next.
"No problem, I've used this hero before." In the double queue with Su Yuhang, she especially likes to use this kind of powerful auxiliary hero online.
"Then let's call it Kalista and Thresh." Jin Zhenxun nodded in agreement.
SKT linked up their hands and determined the bottom lane combination.
"Thresh and Spear of Vengeance? This should be considered a very retro combination." Jin Mina in the commentary booth was stunned. She didn't quite understand why SKT would make such a choice.
Give up Miss Fortune, who has powerful online consumption, and instead lock in the bottom lane combination that often appeared in the previous version.
"Maybe it was Su Yuhang's own choice." Zhou Yongjun keenly noticed that when choosing a hero, Kkoma, holding a notebook, stood next to Su Yuhang and asked.
"This combination often appeared on the field before, but it has been banned because of the strength of the Censer version. Now that the Censer equipment has been modified, Spear of Vengeance and Thresh can naturally reappear."
After the World Championship, Riot also realized the strength of Incense Burner.
A knife was cut directly on the blazing incense burner, and the life steal attached to normal attacks was removed. The status of a series of soft assistants such as the fiery wind girl Lulu in the previous version plummeted.
"And we also saw in the last game that non-displacement support like Miss Fortune did not perform well when the opponent had control skills."
In the last game, Peanut took good care of the bottom lane several times. He was killed consecutively in the early stage, which directly became the breakthrough point for the opponent.
The choice of this retro combination made LZ hesitate for a long time, and finally settled on Jhin, the playmaker, a hero that Pray played well.
In terms of jungle, Peanut chose Jarvan IV without hesitation, which seemed to teach the opponent how to play heroes.
After confirming the hero, the yellow-haired girl in front of the camera couldn't help but snicker.
"Sure enough, when I saw Peanut's smile, I knew what hero she was going to choose."
"Peanut teaches his opponent to play the role of prince, and treats his old club so harshly?"
"Blank: Little Peanut, do you want me to die?"
"In the last round, Blank's prince dealt a high damage of 4180, the director is sorry." A strange barrage appeared.
"The goddess of dawn has an output of 5,500, so the prince should not be hurt this way."
"Most of Blank's damage is dealt to wild monsters."
In order to compensate for the control and certain output, SKT chose Gragas (Barrel) in the jungle.
Second round of BAN people.
The red side SKT banned the Tauren Chief to block the opponent's support options, and also banned Kennen, who performed poorly in the previous game.
LZ banned Eye of the Void and Twisted Dryad. Both heroes performed well on the red side.
In order to make up for the gap in personal strength in the top lane, Kkoma gave Untara the Lost Fang Gnar. The middle lane was the same as in the previous game, with Malzahar, the Prophet of the Void.
Khan took out the captain in his first hand to deal with it, and chose Tahm Kench as a support, a hero with both protection and long-range support.
Both sides determine the hero.
LZ aspect
Top laner Khan: Ocean Calamity Gangplank
Jungler Peanut: Prince Jarvan IV of Demacia
Mid laner Bdd: Desert Emperor Azir
Bottom lane Pray: Trickster Jhin

During the final countdown, all SKT fans in the audience cheered loudly.
The semi-finals adopt a BO3 format. If they lose one game first and lose to LZ again, SKT will be eliminated and miss the finals.
In order to take care of the audience's emotions, the director also gave the last ten seconds of footage to Su Yuhang, the young man who was called on to be the savior in the face of danger.
In front of the camera, he had a heavy expression, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing. The reflection of the computer screen was reflected in his eyes as clear as a stream, and the stars were like flickering flames.
"When both sides entered the game, SKT was not as conservative as before in the choice of first-level positions. Su Yuhang and Wolf were swimming in the grass in the river. Could it be that they wanted to take advantage of the opponent's jungler to sneak into the enemy's position?
The triangle of grass?”
I don’t know if it was due to carelessness, but neither the fortune teller nor Tamu, who were standing in the grass, had any vision.
The two stood for a while and found that the other party had no intention of attacking as a team, so they returned to the red zone to help Peanut clear the field.
"As expected," Jin Minna stared at the broadcast screen, "Su Yuhang and Wolf walked towards each other's triangle grass at one minute and twenty seconds."
The two people who signed the contract slowly entered the enemy's grass.
"This is completely gambling. If the other party has a vision in the triangular grass, such a move will undoubtedly lead to death."
"It's just that the Pray player didn't seem to be aware of the opponent's thoughts. The triangular grass was completely dark and there was no vision."
"Then it feels like Pray is in danger now. The undisplaced fortune teller may be forced to use a flash."
"Spear of Revenge chose the E skill Tear at the first level, and Thresh used the Pendulum of Doom. Both skills have a slowing effect. Coupled with the damage of ignition, it is very likely to force more than just a flash." Jin Minna
Frown slightly.
Before she could finish her words, the four of them had already met in the triangular grass.
