Li Xianghe, who has returned to the contestant seat, is full of fighting spirit, and his eyes under the lenses reveal a faint murderous look.
I don’t know if it was because Su Yuhang was sitting next to him, but all the worries and nervousness before taking the field were gone, and all that was left was the desire to win.
Isn't it just letting one chase three? SKT is never a team that gives up easily.
In this finals where I have a reason to win, I, Li Xiangha, will not become the backdrop for the KT team!
"Now that both players are ready, the second game officially begins." Jin Zhixian said.
She keenly noticed that the SKT players were not at all downcast because of the loss in the previous game, and everyone had relaxed expressions.
The two sides have switched positions. In this game, SKT appears on the blue side and KT appears on the red side.
SKT on the blue side bans first and picks first.
In the competition venue, Kkoma was walking slowly with a notebook, writing and drawing on the paper with a pen, and preparing for BAN selection.
"Li Xianghe, what hero do you plan to use?"
Kim Jung-hoon asked the team members what they thought.
"The Witch of Trick."
The girl answered without any hesitation, and her cold voice was filled with determination.
Jin Zhenxun, who was standing behind her, was stunned. At that moment, she had a strong premonition that the big devil who dominated the canyon... was back again.
"Then let's ban Ryze first, and then grab LeBlanc." As a coach, she always believed in the judgment of her players and never had any doubts.
"SKT first banned the rune mage Ryze. This hero is considered the signature of both mid laners."
Both Pawn and Faker have used Ryze to perform well on the field.
It's an unwritten rule to ban Ryze when you encounter them.
"In retaliation, KT banned Desert Emperor Azir and Twisted Dryad Maokai."
Azir is valued by various teams due to his long hands and the mechanism of actively pushing back to start a team. Maokai is because of the OP's bypassing and starting a team after the redesign.
"SKT pressed two hands in a row. They were Kalista and Vel'Koz who performed well in the previous game."
"For the last banned position in the first round, KT gave... Twitch, the source of the plague?"
Seeing this BAN person, Jin Zhixian frowned slightly.
"I remember that this hero appeared in the ban position for the first time in the KeSPA Cup. No team has ever banned Tucci, the ADC before."
"This is the first time I have seen such a ban," Jin Minna nodded. "It should be because of Su Yuhang. In the previous semi-finals against LZ, SKT directly chose a lineup of four guarantees and one, just to ensure the absolute output of Twitch."
"Could it be that this time KT thinks that the opponent will repeat their old tricks and choose a four-guarantee and one-team lineup again?" Kim Ji-hyun raised his eyebrows slightly.
The first round of bans is over, and SKT is the first to choose.
Untara on the first floor helps Sister Li lock down the trickster LeBlanc.
"LeBlanc?" Jin Mina was stunned, "This hero has never appeared in the KeSPA Cup. It seems that due to the revision and rework, the damage has changed from an instantaneous burst of damage in the past to one that now requires a delay to be triggered.
"
"This change has caused the appearance rate of the Trickery Fairy to plummet."
Every minute and every second during the game is extremely critical. As a mid-lane assassin, if you cannot deal all the damage in an instant, you are already an unqualified assassin hero.
But the barrage didn't care so much. Everyone was extremely excited when Sister Li's signature hero Trickery Enchantress appeared on the field again.
"I originally thought that after the designer took action on LeBlanc, Sister Li would never use it again, but I didn't expect that she would still appear in the competition."
"To be honest, I feel that the revised LeBlanc is not an assassin at all. To deal damage, you need to use your own passive detonation."
"During the previous live broadcast, Sister Li played the revised version of LeBlanc and completed the massacre in the strongest king game."
"I watched the live broadcast at that time. It was because Su Yuhang wanted to take a rest. Sister Li could only take out LeBlanc and end the game quickly."
"The scene now is so similar to that time. Is Sister Li going to use LeBlanc again to finish the massacre of KT?"
"KT, have you asked me about Deft and Pawn?"
As if to reminisce about the past, Pawn chuckled softly in front of the camera and asked his teammate Smeb to reveal a familiar hero - the fallen angel Morgana.
Everything seems to be back to the 2015 MSI finals.
At that time, EDG and SKT were tied at 2:2. In the final decider, Faker, who was on the third floor, chose LeBlanc, the trickster, while Pawn, who was also on the third floor, used Morgana to deal with it.
He thought he could continue the myth of the undefeated Magic Witch, but what Li Xianghe didn't expect was that that game was the end of the myth.
"Pawn had used Morgana to deal with Faker's Magic Queen before, and Faker lost that game." As one of the fans of SKT, Jin Mina naturally knew that the mid-season invitational event happened two years ago.
The dominant SKT and EDG fought fiercely for five games, but lost in the final game.
"It used to be the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, and today is the KeSPA Cup. Many years later, Faker and Pawn met again on the final stage, and once again chose the same heroes as before. I don't know what the final result will be.
"Jin Zhixian said.
Regarding the hero selection of both players, the live broadcast room exploded with barrage.
"Another battle between Faker and Pawn?"
"I seem to have returned to the MSI Mid-Season Invitational many years ago."
"At that time, Sister Li was very high-spirited and SKT was at the height of its power. Unexpectedly, she was defeated by EDG and Paw."
"After losing the game, Sister Li sat numbly in her position in a daze, while EDG, who was one step away, hugged each other tightly and cheered wantonly."
"Now this scene is happening again, who will win the final victory? The devil or the pawn?"
During the discussion among the audience in the live broadcast room, the KT team continued to select players.
"For the jungle, KT chose Sejuani."
As one of Score's frequently used heroes, he often performs well in competitions.
After Kkoma asked the team members for their opinions, they linked up two hands, Gnar the Lost Fang and Jarvan IV.
"Top laner Gnar has good laning ability and single-band pull. Coupled with the boomerang's deceleration, he can also cooperate well with the jungle prince to complete ganks."
After choosing the jungle hero, Sister Li coughed softly. Blank, who was sitting on the right, understood instantly and nodded vigorously to show that he knew.
Jin Zhenxun stood behind her, and the little moves between the two could not be hidden from her. She frowned slightly, wondering what kind of riddle the two were playing.
"Li Xianghe, are you... discussing tactics?"
"Yes...yes, Sister Li and I are discussing the next gank route." Blank nodded with a smile.
She glanced at the long-haired girl next to her and cried helplessly in her heart.
I'm sorry, coach, but I may not follow your BP's ideas for ganking.
During the break, Sister Li already said that this game will all focus on the bottom lane, so even if I choose Gnar on the top lane, I may not be able to go to the top lane.
Thinking of this, Blank nudged Untara next to him with his elbow, his eyes filled with helplessness.
She blinked her eyes and seemed to say silently: 'Sister, you are on your way to take care of yourself.'
