Chapter 969: T1 Wants to Be Crushed, Right?
If it were in the past, Kim Ji-hyun might have been boycotted by T1 fans for taking such a clear stand, but the times have really changed in the past two years.
As long as they don't attack the players personally, the commentators are getting more and more daring.
In the LPL, they still have to be careful about criticizing the players, but the Korean audience doesn't care much about the criticism of the players' performance on the field.
Of course, Faker's fans are an exception, after all, he is the only true god in the hearts of T1 fans.
Lin Cheng may also be excluded, but his performance on the field is nothing to criticize, and no commentator can criticize his performance in the game.
In fact, many rational T1 fans also agree with Kim Ji-hyun's point of view.
To put it another way, even if some extreme fans of T1 want to make trouble, it won't be Kim Ji-hyun's turn...
The two lackeys of Lin Cheng, the English stream, are much more aggressive in leading the rhythm than the Korean stream.
T1 fans have been trying to rush the English stream commentators, but after a year of rushing, they can't do anything.
Although LS has withdrawn from the English stream commentary seat, Valdes is still holding on, and has also pulled the newly joined English stream commentator Arturus into the orange camp.
Now the English stream is still Lin Cheng's backyard. As long as you praise Lin Cheng, everyone will be brothers in it.
The English stream audience has a high degree of recognition of Lin Cheng, and KT fans also regard the English stream commentator as their own. Every time the English stream defense war starts, the two sides curse each other on the Internet and end in vain.
Under this background, the tactics of T1 fans in previous years are really a bit useless.
At least KT people are not afraid of rushing, and KT fans are very united.
Of course, T1 fans can't rush KT people, but the tactics of rushing their own players and bosses are still very effective.
T1's spring game arrangement and combination routine, to some extent, is the result of fans' hard work.
Just as the various language streams were analyzing before the game, the players on both sides were also ready.
T1 still maintained the stable five-man team in recent times: Canna, Cuzz, Faker, Teddy, Keri a.
After the communication with the referee, the first game entered the BP phase.
Because KT had an advantage in the ranking of the regular season, they had the right to choose the side in the first game.
In the first game, KT banned and picked first on the blue side.
At the beginning, KT directly banned Seraphine.
During the period of T1's winning streak, they have been picking this hero crazily. In addition to being able to swing between the mid and the support, T1 also likes to use the double milk combination of Senna + Seraphine to go to the bottom lane.
After confirming the old lineup, T1 mainly played around the upper half of the zone. This double skin and milk combination is indeed in line with the current team characteristics of T1.
On the red side, T1 banned Irelia without saying a word.
Now the LCK teams seem to have reached a consensus: those who do not ban Irelia in the face of KT all have problems with their thinking.
The second ban on the blue side was given to Thresh.
It is not unreasonable for T1 to be called the only auxiliary core team in the LCK spring. Ke Ri A's signature Thresh is not a hero like other players, and his presence is overwhelming.
The red side banned Centaur in return.
Although the damage of Centaur's Q skill was weakened in version 11.6, that little damage does not affect Centaur's dominance in the jungle at all, and he is still the only T0 jungler in the version.
Obviously, the designers also know that Centaur is too OP at present, but this hero is really difficult to weaken.
The mechanism is there. If you only change the value, cutting too little will have no effect, and cutting too much will make Centaur too weak.
In the end, it is still the Turbo Alchemy Tank that makes it difficult for designers to adjust.
Maybe the designers will find that it is really difficult to balance the strength of Centaur and Udyr, and they will directly cut the Turbo Alchemy Tank out of shame.
KT on the blue side gave the third BAN to Rell, still targeting the support.
Corgi: "What do you mean by the only auxiliary core? Can you believe that KT banned three auxiliary cores? They banned three auxiliary cores in the first round? How afraid are they of Ke Ri a?"
Jun Ri: "Well, can we change our thinking? Banned three auxiliary cores in the first round... How much does KT look down on their opponents?"
"Fuck! Major is starting again, right?"
"The angle is tricky. They are all calling for the only auxiliary core. It turns out that it's because teammates can't carry."
"High EQ: the only auxiliary core. Low EQ: teammates are rubbish."
"To be honest, banning three auxiliary cores is really a bit of a contempt!"
T1's third BAN position thought for a long time and finally blocked the Blue Steel Shadow, still wanting to limit Lin Cheng's performance.
Starting to select players, KT on the blue side grabbed Udyr without hesitation.
Without Centaur, Udyr is the highest priority jungler, and Kai'Sa is not as worth grabbing as before. The Pik on the blue side is still normal.
T1 locked Senna + Tam on the red side.
Junri: "Ouch! Senna and Tam are messing around in the bottom lane, right? T1, you can't let Ke Ri'a mess around. A hero like Tam who doesn't have the ability to take the initiative really wastes Ke Ri's ability to find opportunities."
Corgi: "But now basically Senna can only be paired with Tam as a support. This combination is also okay in the laning phase. Nothing will go wrong in the bottom lane. Just wait for the big brother in the upper half to carry and it's over."
Junri: "The bad thing is waiting for the big brother in the upper half to carry! It's okay for you to play like this with other teams, but won't T1 destroy the upper half of KT? The two messy guys in the bottom lane are still waiting for the big brother to open the situation in the laning phase, but in the end, the big brothers in the upper half all collapsed. How can this game be played?"
Seeing the duo on the opposite side go out first, KT was not in a hurry to show the heroes behind.
Mr. Dai wanted to take Kaisa, but Kaisa would be uncomfortable against Senna + Tam.
In version 11.6, Kaisa was not further weakened, and the current strength is still very high, but it is obviously not as strong as before that other ADs can't catch up.
After thinking for a while, Kaisa was uncomfortable in the laning phase, and Jinx and Aphelios were not easy to play without the protection of Thresh and Tam, so Mr. Dai finally asked Peanut to help take down Tristana, which emerged in the last version.
The blue team confirmed Tristana on the second floor, and the third floor also locked Titan.
The red team sacrificed Volibear on the third floor.
Junri: "Volga! This... is bad! Cuzz's Volga is here!"
Corgi: "Well~ the jungle Volga has been greatly enhanced in version 11.6. The jungle clearing speed and jungle recovery ability have been enhanced. The hero itself is fine.
Junri: "The hero is fine, but to be honest, Cuzz's Volga has a little problem. The audience who watched the last wave 5 should still remember that Volga."
"Moreover, T1's first three choices are to put the pressure of carry on Canna and Faker."
"Canna is likely to be suppressed by Brother Orange, and it is likely that it will be difficult to carry."
"Is the whole village pointing at Brother Li again?
"And there is another point that must be noted. Ke Ri's Tam cannot start a team fight, and Cuzz's Volibear can't be counted on to take the initiative. Are we going to give Li Ge another Tsar?"
"The whole team relies on Faker to deal damage and start a team fight. We have seen too many such games this year. Is it reasonable to rely on a Tsar to find opportunities?"
"Although the last two moves have not been released, the taste of T1 has already come out."
"Facing KT's selection of such a passive lineup, T1 wants to be crushed, right?"
