In the first game on the red side, Zhu Kai’s consideration was to release Kaisa. If the Korean team dared to grab it, he would just use the strong mid and jungle to continuously arrange him.
In fact, not many people played Kaisa in version 13.12. It was only after the electric knife was weakened that everyone gradually understood the BT features of Kaisa. In other words, this version of Kaisa is a level stronger than the one in the LPL playoffs.
Xia Sen rubbed his nose and said, "If we do this kind of BP, the opponent's mid laner should be the Tsar. They will come to join the team fight and will not play sideline operations."
After thinking for a while, Xia Sen said in a heavier tone: "I should be able to suppress his Tsar, and then I can go to the bottom lane to restrict him."
After these words came out, Xun could no longer sit still.
What's going on? Shouldn't you bet 100%? Are you not confident?
"Have some confidence. You've abused the opposing mid laner before."
"I've never been abused before. It's not that easy to break through a single lane."
xun:.
So who did you bully at MSI?
"Anyway, Bin÷'s interview has put you on the spot. You can decide for yourself."
"."
The BGM stopped abruptly, and after a moment of silence, the screen entered the BP interface.
Kouma was seen pacing back and forth with a notebook in his hand, looking very nervous and under great pressure.
It was unclear whether Zhu Kai was pretending or not, but he looked very relaxed and was still joking with everyone.
Guan Zeyuan: "Here we go! The gold medal battle for the League of Legends e-sports event has begun. Let us look forward to this peak showdown between the Chinese team and the Korean team!
The two teams represent the top forces of each country, and each of them is capable of standing on their own in their respective leagues.”
At this point, Guan Zeyuan was very excited and reminded the audience: "Xia Sen has won all the competitions so far this year and is also the key player in the team."
Changmao: "Yes, Mr. Zeyuan is right. It is really amazing that Xia Sen has achieved such results in his first year of debut. As an aside, it seems that he is only away from today's game and the next world championship to achieve a personal grand slam, haha."
Some people of the older generation turned on the TV and switched to the official channel, and found that the game was being broadcast today. They were muttering that internet-addicted teenagers could also compete on the official channel?
Just as I was about to cut away, the camera suddenly turned to a sunny boy.
Hey, he looks quite handsome, not like an internet addict.
"China, go ahead."
"I'm still a little worried about the bot lane. To be honest, Ruler and Keria are a little scary."
"Cut Draven for my brother!"
"Yes, Meiko directly took out Thresh."
"I'm Meko, and I'm good at Thresh Nami!"
"Everyone stay calm and wait for BLG's mid and jungle C."
Guan Zeyuan: "Today's game may be more critical for the middle. Who can move in the middle of both sides? I think this is the key factor affecting the trend of the game."
Changmao: "Yes, it depends on the Chinese team's tactical arrangements, but Xia Sen is worthy of being the core of the team."
"But to be honest, this version actually leans more towards the bottom lane carry, and the mid laner is more responsible for initiating teamfights and pushing lanes, so we say Neeko and Leblanc are the T0 of this version."
"However, the Korean team seems to rarely use Leblanc in the mid lane. They prefer to play some traditional double C lineups in the middle and bottom lanes, slowly play operations and wait for the opportunity to fight in a team fight."
Guan Zeyuan said: "To be honest, when playing a traditional mage in the middle lane, you have to consider how to fight against the opponent, and you also have to worry about the most critical point: how to suppress the performance of Xia Sen while not letting his teammates play too comfortably.
During the MSI, both LCK teams tried this, but they both failed. It depends on whether the head coach of the Korean team, Kou Ma, can come up with a good solution. "
Coach Kou Ma puts a lot of pressure on them, especially the two commentators who have been watching all the way. When SKT won the championship, its tactics were far ahead of LPL. The key point came from their coach: Kou Ma.
I wanted to chat more, but the first round of BP has been banned.
"The Korean team chose to ban Leblanc and Neeko first, while the Chinese team banned Riel and Sejuani. The targets of both teams were very obvious."
"Don't you consider Kaisa? Then the Korean team will grab it first."
"If it's not banned, it depends on how to exchange."
As they were talking, the Korean team directly banned the big tree in the third hand.
The intention is very simple, which is to target the mid and jungle from the BP. Once Kaisa is picked, the conditions for the bottom lane to develop and fight will be created. It seems that the mid and jungle are banned, but in fact, they are protecting the bottom lane.
In the last ban position of the first round, Zhu Kai, after seeking Bin's advice, chose to ban Wei again, targeting the jungler.
Regarding Wei, they were really at a disadvantage in 13.12. At that time, Zhu Kai was used to banning Wei every time in EDG.
Seeing this scene, Guan Zeyuan's first reaction was Kanavi's You Longwei, which would make the Chinese team a little afraid.
On second thought, what can I get in exchange for giving it to Kassadin?
Some of the more powerful games out there now include Tristana, Crocodile, and Quesanti. Crocodile and Tristana are really good, but the jungler needs to make up for the AP.
Guan Zeyuan was thinking: What AP jungler is left for xun?
Nidalee is a bit tough, but it’s harder to say about the others.
Seeing this ban, Kouma did not hesitate at all.
All possible combinations of the opponent's mid and jungle have been dismantled, so there is no need to think any more and just target Kaisa directly.
Originally, he had made another plan. If the opponent banned Kaisa, he would use Wei, and then add Taliyah on the second and third floors. With the core in the bottom lane, the basic tone of the lineup was also very strong.
In his opinion, the opponent had already lost in this BP.
"The Korean team is going for Kaisa."
Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "It's a bit of a struggle to put Kaisa in. The main reason is that this hero's equipment is too compatible in this version. Maybe the Chinese team has already found a way to deal with it."
Then, the Chinese team locked down the crocodile and the cannon on the first and second floors.
"Crocodile?"
"Player Xia Sen is very skilled in using Tristana." Kouma was a little surprised. He really didn't understand why the opponent dared to play it like that. Tristana was within his consideration, but what about Crocodile?
Shouldn't we take Jacos?
Do you want to gain an advantage in the early stages?
Afterwards, Kouma's eyes lit up, and his originally tense nerves instantly relaxed a lot.
"Take Jacos and Poppy. Avoid the fight in the early stages and wait for the teamfight. It's easy to win."
Then he saw that the Chinese team had Jinx on the third floor, and Kouma’s last worry disappeared.
He thought the opponent made this choice to move Tristana to the bottom lane.
Needless to say, Zesu himself understood this. With two shooters in the middle and bottom of the opponent, he has a big stage. As long as there are no problems in the laning phase, everything will be fine!
There is nothing much to say about this matchup against Crocodile. If you can divide the gods, you will have the advantage, and you can also rely on tactics to win in the early stages.
Crocodile is strong in early team fights, for example, the fight for the vanguard is quite powerful.
But Kouma said that the middle lane should take the core and put the players in the front as needed, which has laid the foundation for the basic game ideas for team fights in the later stages.
In the second round of BP, both sides focused on two positions that were not revealed.
The Korean team banned two players, Nidalee and Ivern.
The Chinese team blocked the mid and support, and banned Taliyah and Braum.
"Banning Braum is no problem."
"But I am more worried about Jacos. Jacos doesn't need to develop very well. With normal development, he can play a big role in team battles."
Guan Zeyuan's consideration is not unreasonable. Changmao: "It depends on what the jungler will come up with. We need a hero who can restrict weapons."
next second.
The Chinese team locked down Zach on the fourth floor.
As soon as Zack showed up, everyone couldn't sit still.
Guan Zeyuan's voice suddenly rose: "There is work, Zac is the jungler, but won't Zac be at a disadvantage when fighting Poppy?"
After thinking for a while, he added: "But the Chinese team should have really initiated the teamfight in this game. Can playing against Zac really be considered an AP jungler?"
"It depends on the outfit. I think this xun can't be a pure tank. The output can't be too single."
Under the camera, Xun's expression was obviously a little unnatural.
Originally, Nidalee is the best choice, and can also target Weapon in the top lane, but why does Zhu Kai insist on producing AD first on the third floor?
Obviously, their lineup requires the jungler to have the initiative in the front.
After being banned in the second round, xun suggested Gragas, and Xiasen agreed. Tristana and Gragas can also work together, and at least Gragas will not be too afraid of Poppy in the jungle.
When the hero Poppy appears in the jungle position, it is to invade.
But Zhu Kai thinks Zac is good. They have played this hero in training matches. At that time, he was used as a substitute for Maokai, and the effect was really good. He was also good against Poppy. The mid-lane cannon could have a line, and the opponent did not dare to rush in too aggressively.
After much deliberation, everyone decided on Zack.
In front of the camera, Kouma smiled.
"You like to laugh, why are you pretending?"
"Who was the coach of the last jungler in the Xiaoni version?"
"Edgar of Samsung was punished by God at that time, and Kouma will also copy him."
“Is this a tradition among Korean coaches?”
Guan Zeyuan: "You can see that the coach of the Korean team is very happy. But it is true that we haven't seen Zac in the arena for a long time, no matter what version it is."
“I don’t know what Peng Lixun’s considerations were.”
On the left, on the fourth or fifth floor, lock on to the Minotaur and the Tsar.
This was just as Xia Sen expected, except that his only concern was the two shooters against Jacos.
To be honest, in the training matches, I was really good and won 7 out of games.
It turns out that the effect of Jacos's counterattack storm is not very good, which is why Zhu Kai dared to release Jacos.
But training matches can never be confused with competitions, Xia Sen is very clear about this.
But for some reason, Zhu Kai seemed to take the training match very seriously. When the BP reached this point, he was extremely confident and kept saying: It's stable, brothers.
However, the BP had already reached this point, so Xia Senye didn't say much and quickly simulated the series of situations that would follow in his mind.
The counter position of the Chinese team is given to the support in the bottom lane.
Without much hesitation, he locked on Luo and had perfect coordination with Zac and Crocodile when entering the field.
As soon as the lineup came out, it seemed to anyone with a discerning eye that the Chinese team had an advantage in team fights for at least the first 25 minutes, but the key was how to speed up.
"In this mid lane matchup, Tristana can keep pushing, but Tsar doesn't feel any pressure."
Guan Zeyuan: "The Chinese team has an advantage in the top half, and the bottom lane depends on the laning situation of each team."
In terms of talents, xun still chose Aftershock, but this time he needs to get two masks to ensure AP damage, which requires good development in the early stages.
"It's easy for me to jump here, but I have to avoid the opponent's jungler."
bin: "That's fine, just stay clear of the enemies and avoid being invaded."
"."
I can only say that the Bible of LPL makes sense. It was really uncomfortable for Zac to be trapped in the jungle, and it happened that the opponent was Poppy, so it was difficult for him to run away.
"It's okay. If he enters, I will be able to get to the middle lane as soon as possible."
