Chapter 310 The Targeted Lineup
The second ban position of T1 on the red side was given to Sett.
This hero has been used by all three lines of KT, especially Lin Cheng used Sett to beat Canna in his debut match. When Canna didn't want to face it, T1 chose to press Sett and it was over.
Many people think that the LCK coach has a lot of say and can completely decide the play style and BP, but this is actually inaccurate.
Almost all players will participate in the team's on-the-spot BP. As the BP progresses, the coach and players will continue to make adjustments to the lineup.
The choice of heroes mainly depends on the player's wishes and the fit of the lineup. Unless it is really outrageous to a very strange point, most of the time the coach will still respect the player's wishes.
The third ban position of KT on the blue side was given to Zoe.
Although Zoe was killed badly by Lin Cheng in the first game, it can be seen that Faker was in good condition using Zoe today, and the skill hit rate was very high.
Originally, KT didn't want to give Zoe this ban position in the first round, but after considering it for a while, they chose to press it.
Faker was the first player to use Zoe in the professional arena, but his Zoe was very strange. Unlike most people, he played more like an assassin rather than a consumption mage.
Faker's Zoe's highlights were basically in team battles, picking up trash and moving around, using passive attacks to clean up the battlefield. On the contrary, Zoe's classic accurate consumption before the team battle was not so good.
But today, Li Ge's Zoe's skills suddenly became very accurate, which deserves a higher evaluation.
With the last BAN position left, T1 thought again and again and chose to ban Senna when there were only two seconds left.
Ze Yuan: "Hey! T1 chose to ban Senna, who is now less prioritized, in the last pick. Should KT grab Aphelios? T1 still has Kalista to choose."
Ji Ji: "Then T1 brought out Orange's Shen. You know, many teams would choose to kill Orange's Shen in the first round when facing KT. After all, Orange's Irelia has too few appearances, and his Shen can be said to be a real signature."
Ze Yuan: "What can we do? T1 definitely doesn't want to release Shen, but the red side's ban position is tight, so it has to be released."
Starting to select players, KT grabbed Aphelios on the first floor.
The red side counterattacked and locked Shen in seconds.
Ze Yuan: "Hey! T1's move is interesting. I know you are good at Yasuo. Since you can't ban all of them, you can just grab them instead of banning them. It's a very thoughtful choice."
Ji De: "But it's still a little unsafe to play Yasuo on the first floor. Let's see what hero Orange will choose to face Yasuo. I originally thought that T1 would leave the counter position to Canna on the red side. After all, the pressure from Orange is too great."
After locking Yasuo, the second floor of the red side first showed Kalista, and then switched to Taric to lock it.
Ze Yuan: "T1's choice is quite smart. If you take Kalista, the gem may be snatched away. KT has also used the combination of Aphelios and gems before. Then I'll take the gem first. If you have the ability, you can take Kalista and go to the top lane."
As soon as the voice fell, the second floor of the blue side showed Kalista.
Ze Yuan choked: "This~~~ is not true! I was just kidding about the top lane Kalista, Brother Cheng is not serious, right? And the opponent is Shen."
Jide laughed: "Hey! Don't forget that Kalista can be used in three lanes in LCK. Will Kuro have a mid-lane Kalista? Chovy has used a mid-lane Kalista before."
Ze Yuan: "I can only say that the players in LCK are very eager to learn. Rascal, Kiin, and Chovy have all used single-lane Kalista, but the results are not so good."
"Lock it down! I want to see Brother Cheng's skateboard shoes."
"I remember that Chaowei's skateboard shoes seemed to be lost. This thing is poisonous."
"Brother Sun is really harmful to people. He only studies outrageous things."
"Enough of watching Brother Cheng C. I really want to see him being killed with skateboard shoes, 23333."
······
In fact, this Kalista was not what Lin Cheng wanted to use, but Bono deliberately showed it to tease him.
Bono: "Lin Cheng, we can grab Kalista instead of banning her. Do you want to play with her in the top lane?"
Lin Cheng said casually: "Okay! If I collapse, I'll say it's your fault. If you lose the game, just wait for me to rush you."
Bono: "..."
You little brat always talks nonsense to us, why don't you have any sense of fun when it's your turn?
Enough of the joke, Bono replaced Kalista with Sejuani on the second floor.
Since a core hero like Aphelios was chosen, a hero who can create output space for Aphelios was needed.
Seeing Kalista being replaced, the audience in front of the screen was disappointed.
Originally, Lin Cheng was going to make a scene, but he didn't expect that it was Bono who made the scene.
Then, the blue team chose Neeko as the third hero.
Ze Yuan: "Oh? I haven't seen Neeko for a long time. I didn't expect KT to have this hero hidden. But it's not certain whether Neeko will go top or middle."
Ji Ji: "Now Neeko is mostly in the middle, but I wouldn't be surprised if Orange picked Neeko top. Neeko on the blue side is still good as a swing position."
The red team picked Kalista as the third pick, completing the pagoda combination.
The second round of bans began.
The red team banned Thresh first on the fourth floor. This support hero is a good choice with any AD without displacement. Tusin played Thresh well.
KT sent Rek'Sai to the ban position.
Although the legendary Cuzz's signature excavator proved to be a trap, it is necessary to restrict a jungler like Rek'Sai with burst and control when the Steel Shadow has been determined.
Of course, T1 can also make a hard move and move the Steel Shadow to the middle lane.
The red team finally banned Tam.
Without Thresh and Tam, Aphelios' output environment is really worrying under the threat of Steel Shadow.
KT on the blue side responded quickly and chose to ban Galio as the last pick.
Galio and Steel Shadow's entry are too destructive to the team battle formation, not to mention that Faker is very good at Galio.
Li Ge can be said to be the first player to fully utilize Galio's roaming support ability. Before SKT vs. RNG in the semi-finals of S7, no one realized that Galio's support ability could be so strong.
Start selecting.
Red team T1 locked Gragas on the fourth floor.
This is also Cuzz's signature hero, although his Gragas has many weird operations.
It's the blue team's turn to select, and KT's fourth and fifth floors successively locked Tsar and Titan.
Ze Yuan: "Tsar? Then Neeko is the top laner. Isn't she too fragile? How can Neeko survive with Shen and Gragas?"
Jide: "And there is another point. KT's top, mid and jungle are all AP heroes. Brother Orange will not use all AD Neeko, right?"
Ze Yuan shook his head: "That's impossible! The current version is not the version of AD Neeko at all. AD Neeko can only go solo, but the current game rhythm and various map resources make it difficult for pure solo heroes to play. Shen is not a side hero who can only lead the line."
Seeing that the opponent's lineup was determined, the red team finally showed the mid-lane hero.
Card Master, Twisted Fate.
Ze Yuan: "Here it comes! Brother Li's Card! This is to arrange Brother Orange! Shen and Card are too good at catching the side. Neeko will die every time Card flies. After the laning period, Neeko may not be able to lead the line against Shen."
Jide laughed: "Now I want to know Brother Orange's psychological activities. The opponent's lineup is too obvious to target the top lane."
Both sides have selected their lineups.
Blue side KT:
Top: Cheng (Flower Spirit, Neeko)
Jungle: Bonno (Wrath of the North, Sejuani)
Mid: Kuro (Desert Emperor, Azir)
Bottom: Aiming (Crime of the Moon, Aphelios)
Support: Tusin (Abyssal Titan, Nautilus)
Red side T1:
Top: Canna (Steel Shadow, Camille)
Jungle: Cuzz (Gragas, Gragas)
Mid: Faker (Twisted Fate, Twisted Fate)
Bottom: Teddy (Spear of Vengeance, Kalista)
Support: Effort (Shield of Valoran, Taric)
