Chapter 1101 European Sun Tzu's Art of War
In fact, normally speaking, if Lee Sin is released, it is the best choice for the blue side to grab Lee Sin first. Otherwise, KT will waste their previous bans by giving Lee Sin, the strongest in the current version, to the opponent.
But who makes Lin Cheng so confident?
He hasn't played Shen yet in this MSI, and he's a little itchy.
I'll show you the first floor first, you can counter him however you want.
Although the LCK coach has more say than the LPL team, Kang Dongxun has always respected Lin Cheng's opinion.
Sometimes arrogance and confidence are just a thought away.
Many teams have had the last counter top laner who insisted on choosing a pure laning hero like Fiora, which eventually led to an unreasonable lineup and put his teammates in jail together, but Lin Cheng's blindly confident hero is not such a role.
Shen is a hero who excels in cooperation, but Lin Cheng has also magnified the laning ability of this hero to the extreme.
Moreover, his teammates have absolute trust in Lin Cheng's Shen. Even if Lin Cheng's Shen cannot gain an advantage online, his ability to radiate the map is unquestionable.
Seeing the blue team grab Shen, MAD locked Lee Sin + Rumble without hesitation.
KT showed Nidalee + Kaisa on the second and third floors.
The options for AD and jungle positions are relatively limited in the current version. If they are put in the second round, they will be easily targeted.
The reason why Xiaohuasheng gave up Morgana, who was used the most in this MSI, was to seek more cooperation with Lin Cheng.
MAD on the red side also quickly selected Tristana on the third floor.
The second round of bans began.
The red team first pressed Titan, preventing KT from forming the Icelandic limited combination of Kaisa + Titan in this MSI.
KT banned Clockwork in return.
Clockwork can be said to be a compulsory course for the top European mid-laners. There is no top European mid-laner who is not proficient in Clockwork.
Of course, the only controversial one is Larsson, the meat pigeon mid-laner.
Last year's World Championship, the Censer, Holy Grail, and Clockwork shocked everyone. The visual effect of Clockwork's ultimate with three pieces of equipment pulling three people was really funny. This game also earned Larsson the title of "European Doinb".
But in fact, Larsson's equipment was just a little mixed, and Clockwork was indeed his specialty hero.
MAD gave the last BAN position to Sylas.
Sylas was banned, and KT also thought that the opponent's support might want to use heroes like Minotaur, but they did not think Minotaur was worth targeting. The blue team finally sent Viktor to the BAN position.
Started to select players, and the fourth floor of the red team showed the card first.
Remember: "Card! No problem. I thought the opponent banned Sylas because they wanted to get Minotaur, but MAD actually wanted Card, which is Humanoid's signature hero. His Card win rate in LEC this year is very high."
Ze Yuan: "And this move can be regarded as a ban instead of a grab. MAD is also afraid that KT will get the combination of Card + Shen."
Before he finished speaking, the fourth floor of the red team replaced Card with Minotaur, and then started to jump back and forth.
Card, Minotaur, Card, Minotaur.
The European team became happy from the beginning of the BP, as if telling KT:
We banned Sylas just to get Card and Minotaur, what do you say?
In the end, MAD locked Card at the last second.
When the opponent was crazy showing off heroes, KT's internal voice chat was very lively.
Lin Cheng: "Damn! The other side is so angry, what do you say, brothers?"
Little Peanut: "Beat them! Xianghao, do you want Alistar? If they dare to show their heroes, use Alistar to beat them!"
Effort was very calm after Lin Cheng's private counseling: "You should be clear-headed! Don't be emotional, win this game first."
Lin Cheng: "Xianghao, look how happy the other side is laughing! They bet that you won't take Alistar, are you still a man?"
Effort was anxious: "Lock it down! Alistar! Just Alistar!"
Kang Dongxun listened to the voice of the fools in the voice and rubbed his forehead with a headache.
These guys are all adults, why are they still so childish?
He knew about Lin Cheng's behavior last year, but he didn't expect that the new teammates had been assimilated by Lin Cheng in half a year.
Little Peanut was originally a black-bellied ghost.
The oldest Deft didn't talk much, but now he is often dragged to the same level by Lin Cheng to confront Lin Cheng.
Effort has now become a friend of Lin Cheng, only Chaowei is a little bit normal.
While they were making noise, the fourth floor of the blue team had already directly locked the Minotaur as a response to MAD.
You guys showed your own Minotaur, and it depends on whether I, Li Xianghao, can beat you up.
The last pick of the blue team was Yasuo.
Cat: “This shouldn’t be a choice, right? Although there is Minotaur, the jungler is Nidalee, so it doesn’t seem right to pick Yasuo.”
Zeyuan: “Yasuo is indeed very good at playing against Twisted Fate in laning, but to be honest, this doesn’t make sense. KT should want an AD mid laner to cooperate with Nidalee to play more strongly. If not, then a mid laner Jayce! Or Yasuo’s brother is also fine.”
In fact, showing Yasuo was just Effort’s way of teasing the opponent, but he forgot that this trick also teased his own top laner.
Finally, in the last two seconds, Effort switched to Yongen on the fifth floor and locked him.
The red side MAD didn’t continue to show heroes in the end, and directly locked Riel.
Zeyuan: "Ri'er? MAD came prepared. I feel like they wanted to take Ri'er from the beginning. They deliberately flashed the bull's head just now to give KT an illusion."
Cat: "Hmm~~ Riel and Niutou can be considered as restraining each other online. Everyone thought it was Niutou Counter Riel at first, but later on the field the effect was not like this. These two heroes can counter each other in the bottom lane. Prevent the other party from taking the initiative.”
"It's easy to understand that Riel's Iron Control Technique is easily interrupted by the Bull Head. Similarly, as long as Riel reacts quickly enough, he can also use his E skill to interrupt the Bull Head's second consecutive attack. We have seen a lot of such operations in the Spring Split."
Zeyuan: "That's right! It's hard to say who can restrain the other between the two heroes in the lane, but Riel's role is much greater in team battles, and KT doesn't have Morgana in it. Once Riel uses his ultimate move to control multiple , Rambo’s ultimate move will destroy the world.”
"Hey! Thinking about it this way, MAD really has something. In the second round of BP, they really thought more about it. KT is too straightforward. They will steal the opponent's bull head."
I remember laughing: "Okay! After Brother Guan analyzed MAD, he also studied the art of war, right? Before the battle started, there was a psychological battle, and we started to attack with troops, right?"
Cat: "That makes sense! Is this the European Art of War?"
Zeyuan: "Hey! Be careful what you say. What is the European Art of War by Sun Tzu? It should be the European Art of War by Sun Tzu?"
Because of this wave of strange atmosphere, the barrage has begun to issue diplomatic warnings.
The lineups of both sides are selected.
Blue side KT:
On the road: Cheng (Qinggangying, Camille)
Jungler: Peanut (Wild Huntress, Nidalee)
Middle lane: Chovy (Demon Sealing Sword Soul, Yongen)
Bottom lane: Deft (Daughter of the Void, Kai’Sa)
Support: Effort (Tauren Chieftain, Alistar)
Red square MAD:
Top lane: Armut (Lee Sin, Lee Sin)
Jungler: Elyoya (Mechanical Enemy, Rambo)
Middle: Hmanoid (Card Master, Drizzt)
Bottom lane: Carzzy (Merlin Gunner, Tristana)
Assist: Kaiser (Iron Girl, Riel)
