Chapter 261: Game 1, LGD’s Test! SKT’s Confidence!

After locking Lee Sin.

SKT then chose Zyra on the second floor of the red side.

"Zyra!"

"Then SKT is likely to want to use the bottom lane combination of Ashe and Zyra!"

"Should we grab Ashe first?" Miller said.

As soon as the voice fell.

LGD showed the policewoman on the second floor of the blue side.

Then locked it.

"In this case, LGD did not blindly grab Ashe to break up SKT's bottom lane combination, but gave Imp the policewoman who has been very effective recently!"

"I just play according to my own ideas! Besides, no matter how strong Ashe and Zyra's laning ability are, the policewoman is not inferior!"

Just when several commentators were discussing what support LGD would take on the third floor.

LGD showed Rambo on the third floor of the blue side.

"Ah, Rambo?"

"Is Zhou Shen going to play the top lane in the first round of this game?"

As he said, Rambo had been locked.

"He really picked it!"

"It's quite rare for LGD to give Zhou Shen a hero in the first three picks!" Miller said.

"I wonder if LGD is thinking this way?" Wawa followed up,

"Anyway, LGD is on the blue side in this game. No matter which floor Zhou Shen picks a hero, SKT's Na Bin and Huni can definitely do it if they want to play a top laner to counter Zhou Shen in the second round!"

"So Zhou Shen thought, why don't I just pick a top laner in the first three picks. In order to avoid being banned in the second round, the choice space will be even smaller!"

"Well, it seems to make sense!" Rita nodded aside.

In fact, Wawa's guess was quite accurate.

There is part of this reason.

There is another reason.

Zhou Dian first played a hero like Rumble, which has some universal attributes.

Instead of taking those more extreme and tightrope-walking heroes.

The main reason is that this is the first game of BO5.

In a BO5 game, the first game is usually used for testing.

Using ultimate skills to risk one's life in the first game often occurs in games with a large gap in strength. The weaker side wants to grab the opening, take the lead, and increase their chances of winning.

However, in this game.

LGD also admitted that they might be the underdog.

But there is definitely no huge gap between them and SKT, so that they have to use ultimate skills to risk their lives to grab the first game.

Just follow the normal idea of ​​playing BO5!

Therefore, in this first game, LGD plans to release some heroes that SKT is more accustomed to and more proficient in, and let SKT choose.

If they lose, they can also know which heroes are difficult to deal with.

They can do better targeted BP later.

And if they win.

That would be a big profit.

If they can't beat LGD in everything they are good at.

SKT will find it very difficult to do BP in the next few games of BO5.

Of course, SKT also had some tentative intentions in the BP of the first game.

But Zhou Dian doesn't want to follow SKT's idea.

I will directly release a more stable version of the top laner, so that you can't try anything in the first game.

Back to BP.

After LGD selected Rumble.

SKT chose Ashe on the third floor of the red side.

If SKT didn't choose Ashe at this time.

In the second round, LGD would definitely ban her.

So SKT also directly selected Ashe, without any fluke mentality that LGD might not ban Ashe in the second round.

The first round of BP is over.

Coming to the second round of BP.

SKT banned Clockwork and Nami.

LGD banned Leblanc and Kennen.

"SKT banned Nami, plus LGD banned Karma and Lulu before, so PYL seems to have no soft support to play in this game!" Miller said.

"Uh, there is also Malzahar!" Wawa immediately followed.

"Malzahar is not good, he can only line up, without any protection ability. LGD needs a support with protection ability in this game!" Miller disagreed with Wawa's opinion.

"Then there's only Tam left! But Tam is a little weak in laning!"

"LGD banned Faker's Leblanc in the second round, and also banned Kennen!"

"Kennen is indeed a counter to Rambo!"

In the second round of BP, it was the red team's turn to pick first.

After hesitating for a long time, until the countdown for picking was almost zero.

SKT showed Galio on the fourth floor of the red team.

Then locked it in.

"Hey, Galio?"

"Galio is not good at playing Rambo in laning! Huni played a hero to counter himself?" Wawa said in confusion.

"Galio is not good at playing Rambo in laning, but he can beat him. He is a little inferior!" Miller's opinion is still different from Wawa.

"Besides, Galio is only slightly inferior to Rambo in laning, and all other advantages are advantages, such as tankiness, control ability, and support ability!"

"Huni's Rambo is more out of consideration for the team!"

In fact, playing a hero in the second hand and countering myself is not very common in professional competitions.

But it can still be seen from time to time.

Miller thinks there is no need to make a fuss.

This situation often occurs when the team sacrifices some laning ability for the sake of the team.

"Also, SKT's Galio may be placed in the mid lane for Faker to play, not necessarily the top laner!" Miller added.

But he also knew it in his heart.

It’s been more than a month since Galio was reworked. Whether it’s ranking or competition, basically the top laner is mostly played and the mid laner is less common.

What's more, SKT is in this MSI mid-season championship.

Top laner Galio has been used several times.

But the mid laner Galio has never been used in a game.

Therefore, SKT's Galio is basically used by Huni.

Subsequently.

LGD selected Tahm and Rockbird on the fourth and fifth floors of the blue square.

"Oh, LGD really chose Tahm in the auxiliary position. There really is no better choice!"

"Tahm's laning ability is a bit weak, but the policewoman's strong laning ability can still make up for each other!"

"As for Wei Shen's Shan Yanqiao, LGD will have too many AP heroes in this game!" Miller said.

"The AP output is a little too much, but that's okay. After all, the policewoman's output in the later stage is very high, and the physical damage and magic damage can still be balanced!" Watou followed.

This person, Wawa, always explains the LPL team's foreign battles.

Any disadvantages faced by the LPL team can be rounded off by him.

To put it bluntly, in his mouth.

LPL teams will never lose money!

Back to BP.

In the last move, SKT won the Snake Lady on the fifth floor of the red side.

"Snake girl!"

"In this case, we can be sure that SKT will have Huni Galio in the top lane and Faker in the mid lane in this game!"

"Huni won't be like Zhou Shen, who can play the top lane snake girl, right?" Miller said with a smile.

"Probably not!" Rita continued, "I have only seen Zhou Shen play the top laner Snake Girl in professional competitions, but I haven't seen any other top laner use it!"

At this moment, in the LGD player booth.

When I saw SKT's final pick of Snake, I was 100% sure that Huni was Galio's top laner in this game.

The corners of Zhou Dian's mouth couldn't help but turn up, and a smile appeared on his face.

His first three moves were Rambo.

It seems that I really tried something out.

The top laner Galio was chosen from Huni.

Zhou Dian knew that since the last game of the group stage a few days ago, Huni's lane dominance Jace was defeated by him using Sword Princess Counter.

Today, Huni seems not to have enough confidence to face Zhou Dian!

Of course, it is also possible that Huni wants to compete with Zhou Dian on the bayonet, but KkOma insists on letting him play top laner Galio.

However, Zhou Dian prefers that Huni does not dare to fight with him on the bayonet.

In the first game, I chose to follow the best system currently being played by SKT and try to gain a foothold first.

OK, Huni, you don’t have much confidence and are a little afraid of me, Old Zhou, so that’s easy to handle!

A player like Huni who is usually very out-of-the-box, full of arrogance, and thinks he is very awesome.

When encountering a strong enemy, if you lack confidence, you will feel fearful.

Then as the game progresses, there are nothing more than two situations.

With the team leading by a large margin, Huni began to "take advantage of others' strength", his self-confidence began to expand, and he became more eager to prove his ability.

Or the team is lagging behind by a big score, and he has no power to fight against, and his mentality can easily fall apart.

No matter what happens.

In short, after the first game, Zhou Dian had a way to control Huni.

After all, today's opponent is SKT, not the second-rate team like Flash Wolves the day before yesterday.

Zhou Dian didn't even dare to come up and just charged and beat him.

Test it out with the first game first and make adjustments at any time.

Losing the first game in BO5, both Zhou Dian and the LGD team can afford to lose.

As for the SKT team, as a dynasty that has been fighting for a long time.

It’s hard to see that LGD deliberately played the heroes and systems they are good at in the first game to test their intentions.

Facing LGD's test, SKT showed confidence.

You let me choose?

Then I will choose!

No matter what you want to do, I’ll take you down in the first round!

As the scene displayed on the big screen, the BP interface entered the last minute countdown before loading.

The head coaches on both sides also closed their laptops and took off their headphones.

No urging from the on-field referee is required.

Neither KkOma nor Dgc "reluctantly" gave any on-the-spot explanations to their teammates.

Instead, he left the contestant seats and walked towards the center of the stage.

Show calmness and calmness.

As a Triple Crown coach, it’s not surprising that KkOma has such a calm attitude.

But Dgc has calmed down a lot now.

Whether it is true calmness or forced fake calmness.

At least Dgc showed the same momentum as triple crown coach KkOma.

This was already not easy for him.

After the head coaches of both sides shook hands and greeted each other.

They each turned around and walked into the player tunnel.

And on the big screen live.

The first game of BO5 also entered the loading state.

Blue square LGD:

Top laner Rambo, jungler Cuishen, mid laner Yanque, and bottom lane policewoman Gatam.

Red side SKT:

Galio on the top lane, Lee Sin in the jungle, Cassiopeia in the middle lane, Ashe and Zyra in the bottom lane.

After the live broadcast screen stayed on the championship trophy in the center of the main stage for a while.

The screen of Summoner's Rift reappeared in the live broadcast of the event.

There were also bursts of cheers and corner sounds at the scene.

The Brazilian audience is indeed enthusiastic.

At any time point in the game, or any head explosion, they will roar twice.

Back to the game.

When ten heroes landed in the fountains at both ends of the Summoner's Rift.

The players on both sides quickly bought the starting equipment, controlled their heroes to leave the fountains, and rushed to the river.

The opening position stage.

Neither side chose to invade, but chose the most stable opening position of a long snake formation.

Each side guarded the various passes in their own jungle.

However, Wolf did not stand at the pass between his own blue zone and the lower river for too long.

He controlled Zyra to enter the lower river and headed straight to the bottom lane.

He is going to plant seeds in the bottom lane!

There is a huge difference between having seeds and not having seeds for Zyra's laning strength.
