Chapter 356 Special troubles are coming
On the first floor, SSG handled it in a conventional way.
They banned the T0-level Skateboard Shoes in the current version step by step, and after EDG banned Galio, they pushed the Wind Girl to the bench.
This move is a bit strange.
Ban/Pick thinking is complex and complicated.
It’s simple, and it’s quite simple.
The first thing to know is the strong heroes.
For example, we must pay attention to Skateboard Shoes and Xayah and Rakan now.
The next best is to use Prince Galio to force the system open, and then use Tristana Lulu or Policewoman Lulu to quickly push the system.
Next, consider high win rate individuals like Janna, Sejuani, and Jayce.
Get these items clear.
Then you can make a trade-off based on the hero pools of both sides.
Two classes are over.
Xia Luo is still outside.
It means that EDG’s third ban doesn’t care about Xayah or Rakan, so they have to choose one from them.
So.
Try simulating this in your mind first.
EDG grabbed Xia first.
SSG must take Luo.
In this way, EDG will have a very high degree of freedom in the support position, and it will be very comfortable to pair Xayah with Janna or Lulu.
SSG holding down the Wind Girl has little significance.
Unless you continue to target the auxiliary.
But if the third ban spot is given to Lulu...it would be even more inappropriate.
Everyone knows.
EDG is a team that relies on the top laner to carry.
Even in the Censer League, the role of EDG's bottom lane is limited to stabilizing the laning phase and destroying the dragon in the mid-term.
There is no requirement for particularly sufficient team battle output.
JackeyLove just connected Q and fought the anti-tower, and he completed most of the tasks. He would only become the key in very few games.
As a standard operational powerhouse, it is impossible for SSG not to study the characteristics of EDG.
It is even less likely to get the point wrong.
There must be a special idea behind the single-ban support being useless and double-ban support being worthless.
only……
What could this idea be...
Think about it.
The EDG members still don’t understand.
"Ban Shen."
After discussing for more than ten seconds, BP coach Maokai made a decision.
Since SSG did something weird in the bottom lane, it would be a good idea to ban a supportive top laner.
Besides, Shen can easily resist Shen to a certain extent.
Getting rid of Shen is killing two birds with one stone.
In the last Ban of the first round, SSG indeed gave the spot to Lulu, becoming the first team to have two supports in the match against EDG.
"SSG's choice is somewhat special."
Wawa was curious: "EDG has Xayah on the first floor, and SSG is probably going to take Rakan. Given EDG's style, if they get Xayah and Rakan, SSG may not be able to resist the mid-game offensive."
“Eh…”
Halfway through.
Suddenly, something strange happened on the right side of the screen.
The hero that appeared was not the Luo that everyone thought.
But it's a clockwork and a small cannon.
"Want to play in a group?"
Miller looked at the C position and was a little confused: "Even if we have to fight in a team, we should destroy Xayah and Rakan. EDG will not steal Clockwork."
"If Xayah and Rakan are released, I'm afraid that Chidi and CoreJJ will be under a lot of pressure in the bottom lane."
This is the truth.
But SSG obviously made a special decision.
"I can't say it's wrong."
Wawa changed his perspective: "As the relatively weaker party, it is understandable that they use some special tactics to seek a higher chance of winning."
"C9 tried to let Skateboard go during the group stage."
"On the one hand, we have our own things, and on the other hand, we bet that our opponents won't be able to use them well."
"That's true." Miller nodded: "EDG's second floor is Luo, and the third floor got the Dark Lord Syndra. We have already seen Clockwork, so it will be no problem to get Syndra. Let's play together."
"SSG added a prince."
"The Prince's flag helps Tristana increase his attack speed, destroying towers very quickly, and it also works very well with Clockwork's ultimate."
Enter the second round of Ban/Pick.
EDG targets Karma and Braum in the support position.
SSG banned two junglers, Gragas and Jarvan.
Fourth floor.
SSG chooses first.
Revealed...the Shield of Valoran!
That is, even after a long time of rework, the Gem Knight is still called by its original name.
"If SSG gets the gem, they may be able to block EDG's offensive rhythm in the mid-term." Wawa expressed his opinion.
"It's like this. With Luo here, EDG will definitely take the initiative. SSG's Tristana and Gem have extremely strong counter-attack abilities. If EDG's rhythm is interrupted, they will probably fall into a passive position." Miller analyzed.
"One more thing to say is that people tend to ignore the laning phase of Gem, thinking it's no big deal, but Gem is very aggressive in laning phase." Wawa continued: "As long as you stun the enemy and cooperate with the jungler, it's easy to get something."
"The cannon can jump forward with the gem's stun."
"Before level 6, the threat to Xia is very high."
"Let's see how EDG's last two picks are going to fill out the lineup." Miller's eyes moved to the lower left corner of the screen.
There are five fewer mainstream junglers.
For the factory manager, the impact is definitely not small.
All the heroes in the top position are here.
But since EDG's bottom lane is Xayah and Rakan, and SSG's bottom lane is Tristana and Gemini, Xing Dao must consider the focus of the jungle and cannot make choices recklessly.
It can be seen that SSG's BP thinking is very clever .
"Zach, the factory manager got Zach!"
Wawa read out the hero's name: "General uses...Shanshan!"
"This lineup is really unreasonable when it comes to teamfighting."
"Also, Shen doesn't have any natural enemies in lane, so he doesn't have to be countered, and he can easily play against traditional tank top laners." Miller said with anticipation: "Even though CuVee was chosen last, he actually didn't feel very comfortable."
"That's right." Wawa agreed: "Let me digress a little. Before the match between EDG and LZ, there were a lot of discussions about who was stronger, General or Khan."
"I'm just speaking after the fact."
"When facing General, choosing a hero first is very passive, and choosing a hero later is also not active."
“This is something that no other top laner can do.”
Just as said.
Facing the Blue Steel Shadow.
It’s really hard to decide what SSG should give to top laner CuVee.
After a long discussion, the lineup was finally finalized.
"Nar!"
Miller read out the hero: "Gnar is actually OK . He can pull the team in the laning phase, take the initiative in team fights, and is definitely not bad at counterattacks. On a 100-point scale, he can score 85-90 points."
The commentator was analyzing non-stop on the stage.
Behind the contestants' seats.
The coaches on both sides also repeatedly reminded the players of some key points to pay attention to.
Professional players may also be confused by various emergencies.
At that time, there is a chance that the indoctrination carried out beforehand will be effective.
This is the truth that even if a sword is sharp before a battle, it will shine.
Swap heroes.
Adjusted rune talents.
After everything is ready, enter the reading phase.
Blue side: EDG
Red Team: SSG
Top: Shen vs Gnar
Jungle: Zac vs. Prince
Mid: Syndra vs. Clockwork
AD: Xia vs. Tristana
Support: Rakan vs Gem
"EDG——"
"come on!"
"EDG——"
"come on!"
"EDG——"
"come on!"
As the cheers from the audience grew louder and louder, the scene on the big screen switched to a bird's-eye view of Summoner's Rift.
The ten heroes split into two sides and entered the spring.
Purchase initial equipment.
Wait for the grating to disappear and walk out of the high ground.
The competition officially begins!
