Chapter 304: 4+1 Ban Galio!
RNG's five releases of Galio, like LGD's three releases of Malphite in the S5 season, is known as the most stubborn and even the most failed BP in the history of LPL.
But speaking objectively, the concepts of these two things are completely different.
After the rework, the new version of Iron Man can enjoy full experience with the support and push the tower with the dragon soul. It is indeed the T0 level of the version.
Not to mention the professional leagues with a rigorous pace.
Even in a relatively chaotic and disorderly Rank where happiness is far more important than winning or losing, taking out Iron Man can basically secure victory.
Galio is not that exaggerated.
The Rank win rate is only 52.79%.
From the perspective at that time, there were actually more reasons to release Galio than to ban Galio.
After all, RNG's hero pool was limited in S7, and no matter which coach was replaced, there would be no good solution.
but.
There is no problem with EDG team's hero pool.
They can copy the answer from LZ's fourth ban of Galio in the LCK Summer Finals, which led to their 3-1 victory over SKT.
At the same time, he did something hidden.
——Blue Ban Galio, which means I don’t want to take it.
With such a preconceived impression, other teams may give Galio to EDG in crucial games.
"SKT must ban Skateboards. This is the default ban position."
Ze Yuan began to explain: "EDG will ban Ryze and Gragas next, targeting the hero pools of Faker and Xiaohuasheng."
"SKT banned Sejuani and Kled, Xayah and Rakan are both out, EDG must destroy them."
"Okay, grab Xia first!"
This treatment was expected by SKT.
The purpose of releasing Xia Luo is to take Luo.
Add another Prince on the second floor to maximize the control capabilities of both the jungler and support positions.
The second and third floors of EDG are the excavator and the wind girl.
Compared to Sejuani, the reworked Excavator has stronger invasion capabilities and can easily invade the Prince's jungle area. It also has sufficient pursuit capabilities after level 6.
The factory manager obviously wants to increase the intensity for the "fans".
On the third floor of SKT, the one chosen was the AD position's rat... he was really annoying.
"Are you disturbing the rat's nest?"
Xing Dao couldn't help but complain.
When playing against WE in the summer semi-finals, Mystic showed a rat.
On the first day of the group stage, Red Pegasus AHQ also used a rat.
In this game, SKT has another rat...
"It's really difficult." The factory manager also had a headache.
The hero Rat is not very strong.
It’s not difficult to deal with.
Because the rat's ultimate only increases attack power by 25/40/55, and there is no other additional or percentage-type damage.
As for the passive ability, it only adds 30 points per second when fully stacked.
In the later stages, attacks can be basically ignored for tank heroes with thick skin and flesh.
As long as you pick a tanky top laner who is unreasonable, have him stand in the front to hold the line, and have the other players disperse and retreat. It will be difficult for the rat to hit anything during his 5 seconds of [full fire].
The problem is.
Xing Dao has always used offensive heroes.
Facing the rat, using Riven once and the Joker once seems to be an alternative solution, but it actually has a very high risk... and is difficult to replicate.
"Let's ban Leblanc and Cassiopeia together." BP coach Maokai thought of the two heroes.
LeBlanc is Faker's signature character, needless to say.
The combination of Snake Lady's Earthbind, Petrification and Prince's ultimate skill highlights an unsolvable situation. Add in Luo's RW combo and all heroes in the range can be controlled to death.
SKT banned Troll King and Fiora.
Took a big bug.
"Their lineup is weak in the early game, we can put pressure on them, give me Lucian."
Scout offered.
Syndra is still here.
But Syndra has no displacement.
If you are ganked by the Prince, you will use flash the first time, and you will definitely lose your life the second time.
In addition, Faker has outstanding personal abilities and extremely rich experience.
Scout uses Lucian, and is confident of suppressing the opponent with the hero's characteristics. However, he is not sure whether he can gain an advantage by using Syndra, who has no targeted skills except her ultimate.
“Okay, Lucian.”
BP coach Maokai nodded.
The four positions of jungle, middle, bottom and support have all been determined.
Only the top lane position remains undecided.
"What will the General choose?"
Ze Yuan was a little curious: "When fighting rats, General chose Riven and Joker, and the results were pretty good... Do you want to try it again?"
"I think the risk is a bit high." Zhihuan expressed his opinion: "Riven and Joker are both heroes who walk a tightrope. It is difficult to switch between melee and ranged. Facing a top-level operation team like SKT, it is very likely that they will not find a good enough opportunity."
"Indeed." Ze Yuan thought about it and thought it made sense.
WE is good at stealing dragons and late-stage team fights.
AHQ is good at... not much.
Therefore, EDG has always held the initiative when facing these two teams.
Be able to start a battle at the right time and place.
When playing against SKT, even if we don't lose the initiative, it will definitely not be as comfortable as when playing against WE and AHQ.
When you want to fight, you may not be able to do so.
If an offensive top laner is dragged past his strongest time point, he will most likely become a super soldier, or even worse than a super soldier.
"It's a good thing I didn't choose Jace."
While waiting, Zhihuan analyzed: "When SKT put Jayce out, it felt like a trap. If General had picked Jayce in the first three floors, there would be no way to win the teamfight."
"Now at least there is a chance to respond."
"I think we can consider Shen and force a score push. SKT can't just ignore it... Huh?!"
The last sentence was not finished.
Zhihuan suddenly uttered an extremely surprised interjection.
"No, no, isn't it?"
Ze Yuan even stuttered a little: "General has a stone man?!"
Center of the big screen.
A giant granite-like hero appeared.
There is also an accompanying line that comes with it.
——"Solid...as...a...rock!"
"???????"
"????"
"What's going on?"
"Can this thing be used in competitions?"
“That’s too much…”
"How can you choose a stone man for Brother Jie? Is the coach stupid?"
"Little-known fact: Brother Jie chooses his own heroes. The coach has no control over that."
"Wow, that's interesting!"
“…”
The barrage was filled with question marks and heated discussions.
Hero Mike has been out for many issues.
Among them, EDG team's Mike Crazy was the most eye-catching, with the number of viewers even several times higher than that of other games in the same period.
Many viewers know that Xing Dao has the right to choose freely.
I know that this stone man was not designated by the coach.
The anticipation was immediately heightened.
What?
The Stone Man thing has no operation?
You’re young now!
Do you know the farmer Sanquan who created the sacred sword?
Do you know that the AP flow of Hellfire's Embrace can kill people in one set?
Even though these things have been removed for being too OP, the audience still feels that the Stone Man has new tricks to play in Xing Dao's hands.
After all, since , Xing Dao has never disappointed the audience.
"Stone man, that's not a problem."
"Stablize."
“Very stable.”
Zhihuan searched his brain and found the comment: "SKT's last pick, Faker got the Clockwork. The lineups of both sides are determined, and the game will start soon!"
