(The last chapter before it goes on sale. Please pre-order! It will be on sale at 12 noon.)
(Twenty chapters to be updated, plus five chapters per day)
On the big screen, a video of the interview with the KT team at the hotel appeared.
The first to appear on screen was KT mid laner Nagne.
"Rookie is a senior whom I respect very much and he is also a very strong opponent. I have reasons to win today's match!"
Next to appear was top laner Ssumday.
"Looper and Acorn are both very strong top laners in our LCK region, but in the LPL, their wills have been corrupted by the comfortable life, and they have lost their original warrior hearts and are no longer strong."
"If the opponent is Yuan, it might be a little tricky, but it doesn't matter, I guarantee the victory."
"LCK has won two world championships and one world championship runner-up. You are the challengers!"
As soon as these words came out, the LPL live broadcast room exploded.
"What the hell is this?"
"Looper isn't bad either, right?"
"Just bombard the competition area, right?"
"Just wait to be slapped in the face!"
"Heh, when will I stop laughing when I hear this..."
In the commentary booth, Xiaoxiao also frowned, but still had to admit one thing.
Ssumday is indeed one of the top top laners in LCK.
"An offensive top laner like Yuan, with a very similar style, and a deep hero pool."
"It's not just the top laner. Score is known as the Korean factory manager. This time against Kakao, no one knows who will win."
Miller laughed.
Score's playing style also tends to be counter-camping and controlling vision, and he is an operations-type jungler.
The commentators each analyzed the situation on the field and soon entered the BP phase.
IG once again drew the blue side, which has a huge advantage in the current version.
The first three bans directly killed the excavator, Shen, and Tristana.
KT banned Gangplank, Malphite, and Lulu.
The red team in the S5 World Championship is so miserable.
It is impossible to release this hero before you know for sure that the opponent cannot use Iron Man, or you have found a way to restrain Iron Man.
In addition, you also have to ban the Captain and other version heroes.
The blue side is much more comfortable.
"Fiora, Riven, and Noxus are all released?? Now the problem is on IG!! KT is very smart. On the red side, it is impossible for them to ban all the top laners. It is better to release them all so that everyone can choose the appropriate top lane hero."
Miller was a little surprised.
He thought that after the last match against OG, IG would basically not be able to use the hero Noxus.
"I think it makes sense. Just like what Yuan said, there is no limit to the number of top laners that can be banned. Ssumday has a very deep hero pool and there is no top laner that he cannot play. I was surprised that IG chose to ban Shen because Ssumday has never played Shen top lane."
"It's probably news about another training match. It could be the support Shen..."
Miller analyzed.
The bottom lane in this world championship was completely messed up.
Not to mention the combination of Malphite + Leona or Malphite + Thresh, just the ADC "King of Thresh" can be paired with all kinds of weird supports.
Annie is still relatively normal, while Kennen and Shen are the routines developed for this World Championship.
After Shen reaches level 6, he has the ability to provide support throughout the map.
Especially for the top laner, Shen's support is really disgusting.
When the fight became intense, the opponent suddenly came to support with Shen's ultimate skill.
Or maybe they could have killed the enemy alone or achieved a dominant position, but had to give up because they were concerned about Shen's ultimate support.
In addition, Tristana was also developed by FNC and became a popular ADC in this version.
Among all ADCs, Tristana is one of the few that has not been weakened, and has even been strengthened.
The explosive damage of the E skill is increased, and the speed of pushing the tower is very fast. With the help of the jungler, you can quickly gain an advantage in the laning phase, and then switch lanes to continue pushing the tower. The laning phase ends early through the strength of the bottom lane, allowing the top laner to avoid strong opponents and use the team economy to develop. This routine is especially suitable for teams whose top laners are not as strong as their opponents, but whose bottom lanes are very strong.
Like Spider, there is only one reason why these two heroes became popular.
That is good for the top laner.
In this version, almost everything is designed to serve the top lane.
IG on the blue side grabbed the spider in the first place.
This choice has put KT in a dilemma.
They were originally planning to give Fiora to Yuan Shen and let Ssumday take Noxus.
But now, IG has kicked the ball back.
How does this work?
There are two most popular top laners in the current version, one is Noxus and the other is Fiora.
However, there are also differences in the levels of these two heroes. Noxus's BP rate is 72%, while Fiora's is only 32%.
There is no way. Apart from Iron Man and Gangplank, only Lulu and Elise have an overall BP rate above 90%. It is no exaggeration to say that they must be banned.
It is really hard to ban other heroes.
With Gangplank permanently on the ban list, it means that both sides only have four ban slots that can be given to other heroes.
"IG grabbed Elise first, which was a smart move. After KT banned three heroes, Elise had the highest BP rate and was the most popular jungler. Kakao was also very proficient in Elise."
"not only that……"
Xiaoxiao took a deep breath.
"Coach Fumanduo's move is really good. You see, the advantage of the red team lies in the counter position. If they take Fiora first, it is equivalent to giving the top laner's counter position to IG."
Xiaoxiao finished speaking, and Wawa couldn't help but laugh: "That is to say, IG not only has the right to grab the hero first, but also has the counter ability of the top laner that only the red side has. KT will have a headache!"
KT made their choice only when time was running out.
Fiora, and Gragas.
On the one hand, it would be a real headache if IG got a combination like Fiora and Elise.
On the other hand, it is also considered that Fiora is not really afraid of Spider's gank.
The top lane position was finalized, and the remaining BPs for both sides were completed very quickly.
With KT's last pick of Tsar, the lineups of both sides were fully revealed when the heroes were exchanged.
“IG Blue Side:
Top Lane: Renekton
Jungle Kakao: Spider Queen-Elise
Mid laner Rookie: Wandering Mage - Ryze
Bottom lane JackeyLove: Holy Lance Ranger - Lucian
Support Kitties: Heart of the Freljord - Braum
KT Red Side:
Top laner Ssumday: Fiora
Jungle Score: Gragas
Nagne: Desert Emperor - Azir
Bottom Lane Arrow: Goddess of War - Sylvie
Support Piccaboo: Soul Chain Warden - Thresh. "
"Crocodile! I thought we were going to pick Noxus."
"With Spider's tower-diving ability and Crocodile's stable point control, I am very worried about the situation on Sunday!"
When the two teams' lineups came out, both Wawa and Miller couldn't help laughing.
With the jungler choosing Elise, IG resolutely chose the mid and top combination of Crocodile and Ryze.
"IG's three lanes are very strong. Crocodile's teamfight and solo ability are very strong, and the other four players are also good at small-scale teamfights."
"Yes, KT is a bit conservative. The Shurima grandfather and grandson combination's C position is very strong in tower defense and lane clearing. If it drags on to the late game, I feel that IG will have a hard time beating them."
"What the hell is Shurima Grandfather and Grandson? Aren't they grandparents and grandchildren?"
No one knew where the topic that Wawa and Xiaoxiao were discussing went, but neither the LPL audience at the scene nor the audience in the live broadcast room felt too much psychological pressure.
