Chapter 1054: Acrobatics in the Opening Game

Last year, KT won everything for the whole year, but MSI was not held as scheduled due to the epidemic.

The MSC held in the middle of the season was not even considered a formal competition in the eyes of many people. At least there had never been a blind pick game in Riot's international official competitions before, and the competition with only two regions participating was just a confrontation match.

Even though Riot reissued the trophy later, Lin Cheng still felt very sorry for not having MSI, the honor second only to the S game.

Now, this trophy is in front of him, and Lin Cheng feels particularly motivated.

He was not tired, just like when he first appeared.

There were no spectators or cheers at the scene, and the host did not even introduce the players one by one, and directly invited the C9 players behind.

Ah P was very active. When he entered the venue, he opened his arms and waved, as if there were countless spectators cheering for him.

Lin Cheng actually admired Ah P a little bit. He was always slapped in the face for his dirty talk but still remained optimistic, and he didn't feel awkward even in this situation.

He was really happy!

The players on both sides began to debug the equipment and soon entered the game BP phase.

The group stage is a double round-robin. In the first round, KT banned and selected first on the blue side.

At the beginning, the blue side banned Thresh first.

Even if the opponent is not as strong as themselves, the coaching team still needs to collect information about the opponent in advance and target it according to the hero pool of the opponent's players.

C9 on the red side was also not ambiguous and banned Irelia in seconds.

Lin Cheng was very angry: "Fuck! Why don't you let me go after Irelia when you are already in Iceland? Are you crazy?"

Mr. Dai: "Lin Cheng, give up! Don't think about your Irelia."

Lin Cheng sighed, and Peanut smiled: "How can he not think about Irelia! She is his wife!"

Lin Cheng turned his head sharply and looked at Peanut, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't try to trick me."

Peanut looked innocent: "What did I trick you? Don't you like Irelia?"

Lin Cheng ignored him.

Han Wanghao looks innocent and weak, but in fact, his kind and honest appearance is already dark.

He is not much better than him, Lin Cheng.

In the midst of the fun, the second ban position of the blue team was given to Senna.

The red team banned Shen in return, showing full respect to Lin Cheng.

Although Lin Cheng did not go to the North American arena to slaughter, his legend has long been spread throughout the arena.

KT sent Zoe to the ban position in the third round.

A P likes Zoe as a hero very much, and even used Zoe to go to the bottom lane when he played AD in G2 before.

The red team struggled for a long time in the third round, and finally chose to ban Lee Sin.

Wawa: "Lee Sin! Sure enough, it was banned! This hero was used a lot by Orange Brother in the European server RANK, and the players of other teams are also practicing single-line Lee Sin. This hero is likely to become a very high priority character in this MSI."

Huainan: "This is too targeted! C9 first pressed Orange Brother's most signature Irelia + Shen, and then pressed Orange Brother to go to Iceland's most used Lee Sin. Orange Brother probably felt helpless."

To be honest, Lin Cheng was a little disappointed that Lee Sin was banned. He played a lot recently and he was still counting on Lee Sin to order dishes in the opening game.

He had already imagined the scene of kicking Ah P.

Unfortunately, the opponent had obviously studied Lin Cheng's RANK.

When they started to select players, the blue team did not hesitate too much and picked Morgana as the first choice.

Morgana is the hero that Xiaohuasheng has used the most in the ranking recently. This hero has a very fast jungle clearing speed. Although it is a bit of a tool, KT's line big brother can carry, and the jungler does not need to do too much.

The red team C9 counterattacked and locked Kindred + Tristana.

Kindred has been strengthened in this version, and Blaber often used this hero in the previous jungle core version.

Zven's Tristana was the target of strict investigation during the G2 period, but most of the time he was still normal when using this hero. C9 did not dare to let Zven take a mixed AD when his own top lane might suffer.

If the top lane explodes, it may be possible to rescue it if there is a Tristana in the bottom lane. If the top lane explodes and the bottom lane is a tool AD, it will be really difficult.

Anyway, the LCS playoffs have made the C9 coaching staff understand one thing:

Relying on A-P in the middle lane alone will definitely cause trouble! Even if the advantage is more than 10,000, A-P may make a big wave for you.

Seeing the opponent's choice, the blue team locked Varus + Gragas on the second and third floors.

Gragas is very restraining to Kindred, and can be used as a swing position.

C9 locked Karma on the third floor to make Tristana more comfortable on the line.

In the second round of bans, the red team banned Jayce + Lucian, and they were worried that Gragas would be swayed to support.

Because Morgana jungle is obviously most comfortable with AD mid-lane such as Jayce or Lucian, and these two heroes can swing between the middle and top.

Super powerful mid-lane Jayce is very famous in S9.

And the blue team's second round of bans chose to target the middle lane and pressed Syndra and Viktor.

In the second round of selection, C9 sacrificed Gnar on the fourth floor.

Wawa: "C9's move was good! There are no heroes that can fight against Gnar in the conventional sense. Lucian and Jayce are both banned. It is very likely that Orange will use Gragas."

Huainan: "But Orange also has Riven. I don't know if we will have a chance to see it. But I don't know if Orange will use this kind of hard-working hero in the first game of MSI."

Before he finished speaking, the blue team chained Sett + Ashe with the last two moves.

Wawa: "What is this? Top Ashe? Or mid Ashe? Or support Ashe? It feels like all of them... Wait! I'm a little dizzy!"

Huainan: "KT is playing so many tricks! Morgana is definitely the jungler, Sett may go mid and top, Gragas can go support, so Ashe goes mid? Or Varus goes mid and dreams of S5?"

The barrage has exploded.

"Fuck! KT is doing acrobatics right?"

"I feel Ashe is here!"

"Teacher Sha! This prosperous age is what you wish for!"

"Brother Cheng, don't you watch Teacher Sha's live broadcast?"

"It's still more reliable to go mid, and the burst is actually very high when combined with Morgana."

"You said that Lucian can go solo, but why do Ashe and Varus rely on each other?"

······

C9 was also dizzy when they saw Ashe come out, and could only use the standard last pick to take down Clockwork.

After all, no matter how fancy the opponent is, Clockwork can still beat them in the middle.

Start exchanging heroes.

When the commentator saw Sett appear on the first floor and Varus on the third floor, it was certain that KT would have a renaissance.

Wawa: "It's really mid lane Varus, back to S5! Did you see that? The world is round! Your arrow flew back again."

Huainan: "KT's idea may be to use Varus as a substitute for Lucian. Mid lane Varus can also cooperate with AP junglers like Morgana, but there is no displacement and fear of being caught..."

As soon as the voice fell, the blue side's first and third floors suddenly exchanged heroes.

Top lane Varus, mid lane Sett.

Wawa: "What is this! Top lane Varus? Don't treat C9 as a human, right?"

Huainan: "I really can't understand this! Even Orange Brother can analyze a top lane skateboard shoe, what is the routine of top lane Varus?"

It's a bit late for the fourth update, sorry!

The fucking fixed-point activities upstairs, so annoying
