Chapter 323: Top Hero with 0% Win Rate
The blue team took the initiative to ban Caitlyn, which was the first time this happened in the World Finals.
This surprised Wang Duoduo.
On second thought…
I discovered the cleverness of this approach.
The normal Ban/Pick process is that the red team blocks Skeleton, and the blue team chooses one from Xayah and Rakan.
The blue side has the upper hand.
But it’s not entirely without cost.
Luo's crowd control ability is quite exaggerated. After Wolf and Meiko used the R flash W combo successively, Luo's strength was increased by half a level.
but.
It still cannot cover up the problems that Luo's consumption is not as good as soft support, he is not as good as hard support in fighting, and he is weak in laning and small-scale team battles in the early and mid-term.
If you choose Luo, you will have to give up the early game rhythm.
If the little dragon's attributes are more combative, you will suffer a big loss.
Choose Xia...
Anyone who has watched the game knows that when facing the LPL region, AD with insufficient range is very likely to be beaten by the policewoman.
The bottom lane players of the four teams EDG, RNG, WE, and IG each have a female police officer.
Even Mystic, the brother-in-law with the weakest confrontation ability, can use the policewoman and wind girl system to gain a good online advantage.
When the Twitch would be countered by EDG's Malphite, SKT banned Caitlyn and took Xayah, while ensuring the ability to fight in the bottom lane and output in the late game. It was a very good BP strategy.
Moreover, it paved a way for other LCK teams.
"Then ban the Xia they want." BP coach Maokai had a simple and crude idea.
Thanks to the outstanding individual abilities , EDG has plenty of ban spots.
Even if you are on the red side, you have to pay a fixed ban position to deal with Skate, and there is no problem in eliminating one Xia.
Class 23.
SKT is holding down Jayce and Jarvan.
EDG dealt with Skateboard Shoes and LeBlanc.
Jess needs no further explanation.
The reason why Prince chose this was because other LPL teams had used the charge system, and SKT thought there was no reason why EDG wouldn't be able to use it, so they made preparations in advance.
Let's see if we can find out more.
"The only one left is Rakan, and SKT doesn't want to take it. The first one they grab is Sejuani."
"Indeed, Luo alone has obvious limitations. He is indeed very strong in large-scale team battles, but he is rather awkward at other times."
Wang Duoduo commented: "EDG's first two picks are Lulu and Gragas."
"SKT is in a bit of trouble." Haokai saw it.
In the current version, there are only a few strong ADs.
The policewoman is gone.
Xia is gone.
The mouse cannot choose first on the blue side.
SKT only have Tristana, Kog'Maw and Varus left.
Theoretically both are possible.
But without Lulu, whether SKT uses Kog'Maw or Varus, they won't feel comfortable.
If you take Tristana, you will be suppressed until the end of the laning phase.
Can't wait.
Because in the second round of Ban/Pick, EDG will be the one who gets Banned first.
If SKT does not take AD in the first round, it will definitely face the embarrassing situation of having no heroes available in the second round.
I thought for more than twenty seconds.
SKT had to use the combination of Janna and Varus to ensure strength as much as possible.
EDG comfortably added a cannon that could not be restrained by the "Adaptive Helmet".
Next.
Both sides banned Lucian, Syndra, Shen and Cho'Gun respectively.
On the fourth floor, EDG’s Taliyah appeared.
"Taliyah is a good choice."
"This hero appeared 5 times in the first half of the group stage, with a win rate of 80%. The record and performance are very good."
Wang Duoduo has collected data: "Furthermore, Rock Bird's ability to provide half-map support and split the battlefield is very suitable for fast-paced play, which just fits the style of the EDG team."
"SKT got Clockwork, and there's another one... Sion?!"
The hero has just been confirmed.
It caused a lot of commotion.
In ancient times, Sion was nicknamed the glaring monster. He roamed the field with five-speed boots and a killing book. His glaring and shield-blasting damage were exaggerated, and once his ultimate was activated, he could fight against reckless men like Man Yi Xin.
The disadvantage is that the mechanism is rigid.
Even with such outrageous numbers, it is still difficult to be accepted by the mainstream.
It was reworked during the S5 preseason and became a veteran driver who could drive and revive.
You can occasionally see high-scoring games.
But he is still an unpopular hero.
Unexpectedly.
SKT actually showed off their skills in the World Finals.
"Marin might have thought that even if he was blocked by Taliyah and killed instantly, he still had a life to continue fighting."
"EDG probably won't target him either."
Haokai thought of a possibility: "And compared to other tanks, Sion is better at clearing minions and returning to the lane."
Against tanks, it generally doesn't make much sense.
Unless you pick a hero that can clear a single lane in the top lane.
Otherwise, even if you kill two or three times, destroy the first blood tower, and widen the equipment gap by half a large item, you can still fight normally in a team battle.
After all, the current versions of Gargoyle Plate and Adaptive Helmet are both superb armor.
The economic disadvantage of a pure tank hero does not have a big impact.
Against Sion, it's even less effective.
Because even if he kills the opponent, Sion can still come back to life and deal with the minion line. After level 6, he can drive to make up for the development and minimize the losses.
Marin's Sion obviously made EDG a little confused.
So……
"Just play one-on-one with him!"
Xing Dao thought of a very useful hero: "Give me a magic girl Urgot!"
"Magical girl?" Meiko opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything that wouldn't be censored.
“If this thing comes out with a magical girl skin, I’ll dig my eyes out…” A Shui set a flag.
"Are you sure?" Xing Dao asked curiously.
"We must make sure!" Ah Shui said without hesitation.
"Then I'll wait for e-sports Xiahou Dun." Xing Dao smiled charmingly.
While talking.
Meiko has locked on to the hero.
A cyborg warrior with a bald head, a steel neck guard, and a body covered with burns and scars appeared in the center of the big screen.
"Why?!"
Wang Duoduo raised his voice: "General is worthy of being General. He has shown a brand new hero."
"This hero has never been in the game." Haokai couldn't remember if anyone had chosen him before: "I thought the Joker was unpopular enough, so General picked a Malphite, and when he thought Malphite was unpopular enough, he picked a Quinn."
"I think Quinn has become the most unpopular person..."
"I can actually use Urgot!"
"I have played before." Wang Duoduo recalled: "The LCK region has used ADD twice, but both times we lost. The LCS.NA region also played once, but also lost. The total win rate is currently 0%."
“Hiss——” Haokai took a breath and said, “This battle can be said to be a battle to redeem himself for Urgot.”
"Indeed, let's see how this hero, who has never won a professional league, can perform in the hands of General!" Wang Duoduo summarized.
The final adjustment phase is over.
The two coaches walked to the center of the field, shook hands, and left along the dedicated passage.
Enter the reading interface.
