Chapter 93 So whose BP is so stubborn?
"The chosen lineup is too restrained, is Benji really good at BP?"
The first game had just ended and some angry Korean netizens were already confiscating Benji's coaching certificate.
In fact, since the spring playoffs, T1 fans have been somewhat dissatisfied with Benji's BP.
I think the loss to Gen.G in the Spring Finals was all due to BP, and this game was no exception.
Backstage.
Xia Sen put away his smile and said, "I think as long as we don't fall into their rhythm, it will be easy to play. Look at this game, no matter how they try to use operations to drag the team or how Faker leads, we just follow our own ideas. They are under a lot of pressure."
Coach Xun nodded. He had communicated with Xia Sen countless times about trying to catch Faker, but was stopped by Xia Sen every time. Facts proved that there was no problem.
"There's no problem with the laning phase. We can follow our own ideas and there will be no problem."
In fact, in this version, problems are prone to occur in the top lane. The bottom lane is more focused on development, and the middle lane is more focused on tools. It is difficult to get kills in pure laning.
elk thinks that Gumayusi is just so-so. If it weren't for the heavy pressure from the opponent's mid and jungle, he should be able to gain an advantage in the laning phase.
"Honestly, there's nothing wrong with the idea, and there's nothing much to say about the laning phase, but we have to be careful about their roaming in the middle lane, and I feel like they don't handle team fights as well as we do."
"Xia Sen can't really do anything about Faker's roaming. The opposing jungler likes to help the mid laner push the lane. We just need to be careful when their mid and jungler disappear. It doesn't matter if we lose a few soldiers. Don't put pressure on Xia Sen."
Listening to this, Xia Sen was a little moved. To be honest, Faker's roaming opportunities in the last game really put a lot of pressure on him. Fortunately, his teammates were very careful.
"I think they will be on the blue side in the next BP, because we have a lot of heroes to deal with."
Xia Sen sorted out his thoughts and said, "Annie, Dashu, Luna, Xia Luo will eventually release some heroes."
"Well, we can look at the BP exchange then. Mainly, I think if the opponent still wants to provide support in the next game, xun and on can pay more attention to mid." Tabe looked confident.
Xia Sen nodded. Although this move was a bit like kidnapping teammates, sometimes you really have to play like this, otherwise the opponent will roam too easily and without cost, and there will always be a chance to catch you.
Next door, Benji had just finished scolding Oner.
"Okay, don't send me off next time. Listen to what Sang Hyuk says."
Faker was adjusting his condition. In fact, every game put a lot of pressure on him.
I felt that the loss was a bit easy. The opponent didn't do anything. He just pushed the line, developed and waited for the dragon.
But it is this kind of doing nothing that makes Faker feel most uncomfortable, as it makes it difficult for him to grasp the rhythm.
The opponent's mid laner is very stable in two aspects. He is not easy to catch but also not easy to be fooled. Is this really the gaming style displayed by a newcomer?
Moreover, the laning phase is very delicate. Faker feels that he is no less capable than Chovy in handling the minion line.
It seems that LPL has really produced an amazing mid laner.
Back on stage.
"Okay, audience friends, welcome back to the stage."
After reading the opening remarks, Miller looked very excited: "We won the first game, T1 chose to come to the blue zone."
"I think the priority of the red team's counter position is not that high." Guan Zeyuan touched his chin: "In the last game, T1's double hook was countered. It was really strange."
"It all depends on what kind of tactical adjustments T1 will make this time, whether they will continue to choose the jungler, or increase the strength of the mid and top laners."
Tong Xi: "Judging from the results of the last game, I guess Oner won't be allowed to play jungle core anymore."
"Haha, it's hard to say. After all, one mistake doesn't mean anything. I hope Oner can continue to be the jungler."
"Haha yeah, I hope so too."
BP starts.
The three bans in T1 are very clear: Gwen, Kindred, and Card.
BLG: Annie, Lucian, Xayah.
Guan Zeyuan: "T1 also respects bighand's cards and finds them difficult to deal with."
Miller smiled: "Indeed, who wouldn't be scared when facing Sylas?"
"BLG's BP is very comfortable to watch, not stubborn at all. If you play well, I will just ban you."
"Whose BP is the hardest?"
"Forehead"
T1 grabs Quesanti on the first floor.
"It's starting to shake again. This Quesanti is probably to prevent you from playing Jasmauke."
Xia Sen: "Don't worry about it, let's just take the top lane combination."
"Zelilulu, I think she's better than Jinx."
As soon as he finished speaking, BLG locked up Zelilulu on the first and second floors.
"No problem. Zeli has high mobility and her priority is much better than the other big carries. It depends on whether Gumayusi plays Jinx or Aphelios."
Jinx and Thresh lock down on the second and third floors of T1, a classic combination.
"Quisanti wanted to get the second round to trick the ban. T1 likes to trick the BP like this."
"BLG 3rd floor continues to pick Monkey King for xun. If you don't ban it, I'll pick it. No problem."
"In the second round of bans, BLG took out Kennen and Jayce, and T1 banned Orng and Taliyah."
"Turtle, can Brother Bin's Ornn be banned?"
BLG fourth floor, weapons locked.
Guan Zeyuan: "Brother Bin's weapon is basically an open card, after all, he banned Kennen and Gragas, two heroes that are difficult to play against."
Miller: "Then I think Quesanti can be used. There are not many good choices for weapons now. Or Zeus can show his sword and choose a sword princess!"
"Bin probably really wants Zeus to choose."
In the battle seat, Zeus nodded.
"We can fight with weapons. I have the advantage before he has his divine power, and I can still fight him after he has his divine power."
T1 locked down Lee Sin on the fourth floor.
"Oner's signature Lee Sin, so Quesanti can't win. Is Faker going to pick the Ice Maiden?"
On the big screen you can see T1 on the fifth floor selecting players, they were struggling for a long time.
Guan Zeyuan: "At the last second, Faker chose the hero Clockwork. He might think that the Ice Maiden would not perform well in this game."
"Clockwork is really good, especially against soft support lineups, it's easy to use his ultimate to pull the back row." Miller: "I'm looking forward to what Bighand will choose to deal with it. Now there is a mid laner named Ahri outside, so we have to choose an AP who can cooperate with Monkey King to enter the field."
Tabe and Xia Sen nodded at the same time, and Akali was locked down without any hesitation.
After all, this was something everyone had discussed before the game.
"Akali? It seems that only Chovy played a game in MSI?" Tong Xi was a little surprised.
"If I remember correctly, this is Bighand's first Akali."
"It seems so, but we shouldn't worry about his proficiency."
Guan Zeyuan suddenly said: "In the first game, Faker's side lane actually caused BLG a lot of pressure. Although Akali may be a little uncomfortable in the front lane, Faker is under pressure in the side lane."
"It should be out of consideration like this. They think they need to put pressure on Faker on the sidelines while not dispersing their forces. In this case, Akali can just watch."
Benji was not expecting this Akali.
Akali? This hero was nerfed after the World Championship, and then rarely appeared after the mid-lane version became more of a tool man.
Of course, in addition to the unique skills, such as Xiaonaiyou, Zeka, Chovy
Akali has a very low tolerance for error.
Oner was a little uneasy.
Benji looked at the locked lineup and felt uneasy.
It seems that if you look at it this way, Ice Girl is better.
I hope his Akali can't do much. With Thresh and Lee Sin, Akali may not be able to do much.
"Guys, this is right, Faker picked his signature mage."
"Indeed, I don't think Keduo can find anything to say after winning this round!"
"It's not easy to fight in the laning phase. Clockwork is easy to consume."
Amid the discussion, the game entered the loading interface——
T1 (blue) Quesanti, Lee Sin, Clockwork, bottom lane Jinx (sprint) and Thresh (ignite)
BLG (red) Weapon Master, Monkey King, Akali, Bottom Road Zeli (sprint) Jialulu (healing)
The audience likes this Akali very much.
The reason is simple, the hero is elegant and good looking.
If you always have Galio or Nautilus in the mid lane, then there's no point in watching the game.
As for the priority of the bottom lane in this version, Guan Zeyuan has also specifically learned about it.
In fact, LPL and LCK have different understandings.
LPL thinks that Zelie is definitely the first, followed by Jinx, Aphelios, and Xayah.
LCK thinks Xayah with Rakan is the first, followed by Jinx and Thresh, then Ephi, and finally Xelie.
It can only be said that it is very strange. As for the reason, Guan Zeyuan asked sask, kenzhu and bsyy, but no one gave a definite answer.
Maybe it has something to do with the different styles of the two regions.
As Benji was walking back to the lounge after shaking hands, he came to his senses and realized that Akali was a factor that made him very worried.
They have suffered too much from Akali.
Gen.G, also known as Chovy, likes to use this kind of hero to fight against Faker's long-range mage, and the result seems to be very successful.
He now clearly understood the purpose of BLG picking Akali, which was to replicate Chovy's arrest of Faker on the sideline.
To be honest, even though Faker is older now, his play style is still bold, and he even gives some opportunities that are a bit like a youngster.
The more Benji thought about it, the more he blamed himself. He was the one who chose Clockwork for Faker. How could he have forgotten this point?
There's no point in thinking about it now. We can only hope that the Akali on the opposite side is not good enough and can't be effective.
Moreover, the opponent's arm is relatively short, and the first wave of the opponent's forced opening will be pulled away by T1.
Jinx will have a lot of room to play, especially if she uses Clockwork's ultimate well.
Well, it's easy to imagine the scene of winning the team.
Benji was relieved.
"The last Akali really surprised everyone."
"Yes, I think it's a good choice. In fact, looking at the entire T1 lineup, there is really no hard control. As long as Akali is proficient, she will perform well in team battles."
"Well, just be careful of Lee Sin's kick and Thresh's hook."
"I'm surprised Faker picked Clockwork instead of Ice Maiden."
"Maybe they thought they were going to fight in a teamfight. It's hard for teammates to follow the Ice Girl, and the upper limit of the Clockwork in a teamfight is very high."
The European commentator on the scene was very neutral as a bystander.
That’s right, the home team has been eliminated, and now the only thing left is neutrality.
T1 team is communicating.
Faker: "I have to suppress him in the front, the opponent's Monkey King might come at level 2."
Oner: "Then I'll start at red as well, and then go straight to blue. If he catches you at level 2, I'll be there first."
Faker nodded. He looked at the Akali on the opposite side who had chosen Conqueror and fell into deep thought.
Of course, Xia Sen has some Conqueror reasons. In fact, in this game, Akali usually chooses Swiftness to withstand pressure in the front.
But Xia Sen felt it was unnecessary, as the health restored by Swift Steps was minimal.
The biggest reason for choosing this is that the acceleration when attacking a minion allows Akali to get close to Clockwork to use Q.
But Xia Sen felt that it was meaningless, as it was still difficult to change lanes in this way. Conqueror could wait until level 3 to find an opportunity to turn around and use E to get closer, and then use Q and W to exchange blood.
If you stack Conquerors like this and hit them later, the damage will be very high.
To withstand the pressure in the first one or two levels, it is enough to add double resurrection and Doran's Shield as the secondary system.
BLG Voice.
Coach xun was very excited: "What do you mean, does the opponent dare to enter my jungle this time?"
"Come in, I don't have any line rights in front of me, so be careful." Xia Sen said silently as he walked out.
"Uh, it's broken."
Monkey King is not weak in the jungle, but Lee Sin is stronger.
