Chapter 394: You can always trust General
EDG took the lead and banned Skate Shoes step by step.
This is a ban that the red team must bear.
Nothing to say.
SKT's BP strategy is not much different from the previous game.
After blocking Galio, a hero who can do whatever he wants with Jarvan and Shen, he still leaves the top lane alone.
Instead, he dealt with Morgana in the first round, not giving Scout the chance to get this ultimate mixed guy.
The reason is simple.
With SKT's current situation, it is difficult to achieve anything in both the top and bottom lanes when facing EDG.
If you want to take the initiative, you must work hard on the coordination between the midfield and the jungle.
Next.
EDG holds down Piglet first.
And after SKT banned Rakan, they targeted Gragas.
"Xayah and Rakan are gone, SKT directly grabbed Jarvan IV on the first floor. Although there is no Galio in this game, Jarvan IV can also be linked with other heroes, so there is no problem in taking it out first."
"EDG's first two picks are... Varus and Karma!"
"The suppression is very strong!"
Miller looked at the information on the screen.
EDG chose this.
It was just a show of putting pressure on the bottom lane, forcing SKT to pick Lulu in the first round and fight against the stronger AD.
The flaw was that he gave up the female police officer that A Shui often used.
but.
The hero Policewoman has a V-shaped curve.
Without a sufficiently large economic lead, mid-term combat effectiveness will have obvious shortcomings.
It is unlikely that SKT will be alerted if EDG picks up Varus.
As expected.
Facing Varus and Karma, two heroes who are strong in clearing minions and fighting, SKT brought out Lulu and Tristana to deal with them.
After EDG got Zac on the third floor, it entered the second round of Ban/Pick.
Both sides showed up with junglers and bottom laners.
Naturally start targeting heroes in the mid and top positions.
SKT banned Lissandra and Kled, who performed very well in the first game. EDG banned Shen and Fiora, two top laners who played with the Big Sword.
This made many people feel surprised.
You know.
Xing Dao used Fiora for most of the season in the reverse version.
In this World Finals, Fiora also had a brilliant performance.
It is no exaggeration to say that she is the best swordsman in the world.
Taking the initiative to ban, it seems a little strange at first glance.
But think about it seriously.
Actually, it is understandable.
Marin was also a top Fiora user in Season 5.
Even though times have changed.
The strength has not declined much.
In the previous round, if it weren't for the negative effect played by Peanut, even if Xing Dao succeeded in selling his horse to fish, he wouldn't be able to establish much of an advantage.
EDG is on the red side, so they can leave the fifth-floor counter position for the top laner.
Hold down Fiora and target Marin's selection.
It is better than trying to grab Fiora first and then being countered by SKT with a relatively tricky hero.
After all, there is a Kennen outside who will never trigger the stun of [Laurent's Heart Eye Knife] and is very good at restraining Fiora in terms of mechanism.
The commentators were talking at the same time on the stage.
Analyze these.
When I saw the avatar appear in the center of the big screen, I was suddenly stunned.
"Why?!"
"Little fishman?"
Ze Yuan's surprised voice sounded: "No way? Is this little brother Scout going to teach Faker how to use heroes?!"
"???????"
"????"
"Fuck!"
“Good fellow…”
"That's totally off the mark!"
"Who gave you the courage, Fish Leong?"
"That's really courageous."
"To be honest, I'm not qualified to use assassin in front of Faker."
"This is a bit of a mess."
“…”
The barrage of comments started to appear immediately.
After a whole year of fighting, Scout has grown a lot in all aspects and can definitely be said to be the top mid laner in LPL and one of the best in the world.
But who is the opponent in this battle?
It’s Faker!
A double champion!
It’s alive...呸呸呸!
A living legend!
Even though SKT has lost to EDG twice in a row.
But judging from the performance of the game, the statement "SKT lost but Faker did not lose, EDG won but Scout did not win" makes a lot of sense.
Almost no one refuted.
As a result, after being killed by a single player, Scout took out Fizz to attack Faker?
Isn't that a bit overestimating one's own abilities?
"What is he going to do?"
When Faker saw this scene, he looked a little puzzled.
Privately, Faker and Scout have a very good relationship. They often discuss popular heroes in the version and occasionally compete with each other.
But in terms of strength.
Faker did not consider Scout to be an opponent of the same level.
Always keep the mentality of looking up to the younger generation.
Unexpectedly, I would encounter a scene that teaches me a lesson on how to be a good person.
Kind of interesting...
“Sang Hyuk (Faker), do you want to pick a laning hero?” SKT head coach KkOma asked.
"No need!" Faker was decisive and confident.
"Okay, let's team up with them." KkOma nodded.
Fourth floor.
SKT picked Snake Girl.
There comes another one on the fifth floor... Rambo, the mechanical public enemy!
"The prince uses his ultimate to hold back the enemy, the snake girl binds the ground to block the enemy's movement, Rumble uses [Constant Temperature Burn] to make up for the damage, plus Lulu protects and Tristana harvests the enemy. If SKT can play this system, they can be said to be invincible!"
"It's just that the snake girl is at a disadvantage against the little fish man."
"Rambo is also easy to target."
Ze Yuan explained based on the current situation: "SKT used a completely different lineup from the first game. The first game was a 131-point push, and this game focused on teamfighting."
“The common point is that as long as there is no collapse in the early stage, there is basically no solution in the middle stage.”
"Offensive pressure once again came to EDG."
"Let's see what EDG is going to get on the fifth floor..." Miller was stunned again when he said this: "Tialah? Huh? The previous Fizz was actually the top laner?"
"Returning to MSI in my dream!" Wawa exclaimed.
In this year's MSI Mid-Season Championship, Fizz was a very popular top lane hero, with a BP rate and win rate exceeding 80%.
After MSI.
The defensive equipment has been fully updated.
Two new pieces of armor have been added: Gargoyle Plate Armor and Adaptive Helmet.
Plus the incense burner was developed.
Professional leagues have adopted a strategy where the top and jungle players take tanks, the bottom lane uses soft supports, and the entire team's strength is gathered to protect the AD.
This makes the positioning of Fizz, a top laner who does not have a very high burst and can only rely on continuous output to slowly gain momentum, become very awkward, and he is unable to enter the mainstream arena.
But this one.
The lineup that SKT brought out is mainly based on control and AOE damage.
Not enough tankiness.
It is just right for Fizz to play in the top lane.
The only problem is…
Xing Dao has never shown Fizz in any game before. If he suddenly takes it out, can he really use it well?
Before the war started, no one had the answer.
After some adjustments.
The lineups for both teams have been finalized.
Blue side: SKT
Red side: EDG
Top lane: Rumble vs. Fizz
Jungle: Prince vs Zac
Mid: Cassiopeia vs Taliyah
AD: Tristana vs Varus
Support: Lulu vs. Karma
"EDG actually dared to use the hero like this, it must be a design."
"And we can see that Scout used Taliyah to fight against Faker's Cassiopeia in the end, and had a huge advantage in terms of support - Cassiopeia can't buy shoes."
"Marin, this Rambo, is likely to get the LPL classic meal."
Miller analyzed from the bright side: "As for whether General can use Fizz well, I don't think there is any need to doubt it."
"When has the General ever let anyone down?"
