Chapter 279: BP that Counters the Opponent's Moves
Under the strong opposition of all other teammates, Lin Cheng's vicious proposal was naturally not passed. After a short break, the second round of BP entered.
In the second game, DRX came to the blue side to ban and pick first, and KT was on the red side.
At the beginning, DRX first banned the prince.
Compared with the red side, which has to bear more version bans, the blue side's bans are much more direct, targeting the players and that's it.
KT on the red side banned Varus in return.
Although Varus's BP rate in LCK is far lower than Aphelios and Senna, this hero's ability to compete for the right to the bottom lane is far greater than any other AD.
In the current tactical system of KT, the line rights of the two side lanes are extremely important, which is related to whether KT can establish an advantage in the early stage and snowball.
The second BAN position of DRX on the blue side was given to the troll.
Junri: "Oh? DRX banned Troll in the second round, which almost told KT that there will definitely be a big front row in my lineup."
Corgi: "Yes, Troll is not a popular jungler in LCK, but he is very profitable when used to fight against the opponent's tank lineup. KT usually banned this hero when they used Sejuani as a jungler before. It seems that Brother Mai also has an idea."
Seeing that Troll was banned, the red team chose to ban Senna.
Tactical genius Brother Mai's ban on Troll clearly shows that he will take tanks, but there are too many tank heroes that can be used on the field now, and it is not meaningful to block a single hero.
On the contrary, the hero Senna is very profitable when there is a big front row. Brother Mai has also played a lineup with four pieces of tanks and Senna before.
That's right! The genius coach Brother Mai can not only make five protect zero coaches and four protect one EZ, but also let Mr. Dai play Senna and one protect four.
Although this extreme tank lineup is very stupid in the late stage, it is really powerful in the early and mid-term.
Many tank heroes have one thing in common, which is that their basic stats are very high.
For example, Ornn is not only naturally strong, but also has very high basic damage. When he has one or two sets of equipment, he is very tanky and can fight very well.
At this time, except for Vayne, basically no AD can cut the tanks. Several strong men directly use their rich team-opening methods and strong muscles to crush them. Generally, it is really difficult for the team to resist in the mid-term.
The blue team chose to continue to ban Shen in the third hand, and Lin Cheng's signature hero still enjoyed special care.
KT thought for a while on the red side and sent Kalista to the BAN position.
Junri: "Skateboard? Then they just gave Aphelios to the opponent. KT's ban is a bit confusing. They banned three ADs and then gave Aphelios away. Isn't it a bit too much?"
Corgi: "I think so too. Even if you really want to give Aphelios away, you shouldn't ban Kalista. Everyone should take one at a time. There are only a few ADs that can be played in this version."
Junri: "Look at KT's lineup. They must know that the opponent will definitely take Aphelios when they ban it. They should have thought about how to target Deft's Aphelios."
The blue team did not hesitate and decisively locked Aphelios on the first floor.
Regardless of whether the opponent did it on purpose, it would be too much if they didn't lock it down.
The red team counterattacked and locked Jhin on the first floor.
Junri: "Oh? Jhin? Is this the answer given by KT? Jhin is not a popular hero in this version. Can he really fight against Aphelios?"
Corgi: "Maybe what KT wants is the lane control. Jhin has a long reach and is really good at pushing the lane in the early stage. At least the bottom lane control will not be lost, which can give Bono more room to play."
Junri: "No! Jhin has no problem in the lane, but his output is much worse than Aphelios, especially Jhin is very weak in the mid-term, but Aphelios is very strong when he has two sets of Infinity Splitting Bow.
And DRX's second ban of Troll is almost a clear sign that they are going to take a big front row. Jhin is really unable to deal with the front row."
Corgi: "Let's see the effect of this Jhin later. Many teams are actually trying to release Aphelios now, and then find a way to deal with Aphelios. KT is obviously trying."
Following that, KT locked Sett on the second floor as a swing position.
Although Sett has been nerfed round after round, his three-lane swing feature is destined to make him a popular hero.
The blue team locked Thresh on the second floor and went down with Aphelios, and revealed Sejuani on the third floor.
Junri: "Sejuani! Pyosik took away the hero used by Bono in the previous game. As expected, DRX has a front-line tank."
Corgi: "Well~~~ This move of stealing instead of banning is very smart. In recent games, most of KT's team-opening burden has been on Bono. If they are given Sejuani and Seti, Aphelios will be under great pressure."
Seeing Sejuani being taken away, Kuro on the red team first revealed Karthus on the third floor, as if he wanted to choose a classic brush jungler to fight Sejuani, but he never locked it down.
Until the last second, Karthus was suddenly replaced by Nightmare and locked down.
Junri: "Nightmare jungler! This is the first time Nightmare has appeared in the LCK Spring Split this season. I didn't expect it to be in the semi-finals. It is true that Sejuani has no way to deal with Nightmare in the jungle. Nightmare is very capable in single combat."
Corgi: "The main purpose of picking Nightmare should be to limit Aphelios, but it is impossible for Nightmare to kill Aphelios alone, and Brother Mai is not stupid! DRX will definitely ban Galio in the second round."
Junri: "Then it seems that Jhin in front may have this consideration. Nightmare rushes in to kill Aphelios, and Jhin also snipers behind him, but Jhin's bullets will be blocked!
Look at KT's subsequent hero selections. Since Nightmare was selected, there must be heroes that cooperate with Nightmare."
The second round of bans begins.
The red side KT first banned Leblanc on the fourth floor. This is the second-highest mage hero selected by Chovy. Although it is not as eye-catching as his Zoe, it is a real threat to squishy heroes.
DRX banned Galio in return.
Nightmare turning off the lights and taking Galio to the back row is a classic combination, and Brother Mai is not so stubborn as to let Galio out in the second round.
KT sent Jayce to the ban position in the last hand.
Junri: "Hmm? What's the matter with KT banning Jayce? Why do you ban Jayce when Nightmare is the jungler? Isn't it clear that Doran dares to choose Jayce? It's too easy for Nightmare to catch Jayce with Setch."
Corgi: "Then maybe this Sett is not played by Orange? Now that Setch's stats have been nerfed for several rounds, there are indeed fewer single-lane players. It may be played by Tusin."
DRX finally chose to ban Irelia to prevent Nightmare from turning off the lights to cover Irelia's charge.
Irelia is a hero that can hardly perform well when rushing in under the vision of others, but it is terrifying once she cuts in in the dark.
