After both teams finished adjusting their equipment, the BP began.
In the first round, FPX banned the blue team.
As soon as the game started, the blue team banned Dao Mei from the first floor.
Mille: "Dao Mei is fine. FPX didn't play any tricks and banned Li Xu's Dao Mei directly. This hero's power is too strong. Li Xu always gets at least five kills. It's very scary."
Ze Yuan: "Let me tell you, if RNG didn't insist on banning Dao Mei, I think Li Xu wouldn't have a chance to get Dao Mei. I can only say that RNG is a good brother. I heard that Li Xu wants a Dao Mei skin? I'll give you one. "
"Senior Colonel is being sarcastic again. Is he really not going to let RNG go?"
"Everyone knows that SKT can't ban Dao Mei, so RNG is blaming others for it."
"Warhorse's BP is fine. There's no way they'll let Dao Mei out."
"What do you guys know? RNG is playing a big game. They'll give Li Xu a Dao Mei skin first, and next year, Li Xu will transfer to RNG."
"RNG paid Dao Mei skin in advance as a signing fee? Sure. "
… ….
SKT did not play any tricks on the Red Team and sent Hanson, the son of the version, to the BAN position.
Hanson was Doinb's trump card even before the revamp. Almost no one was using Hanson, but he could still be used as a last resort hero to carry the game.
During the Intercontinental Tournament this year, he used the old version of Pansen's strong support ability to lead the team to defeat GRF.
If Pansen's revision was an absolute buff to the hero, then the international tournament was definitely a nerf to Doinb because they could not get it at all.
The blue team gave the second BAN to Akali. SKT's dedication to this hero was seen by all the teams.
Doll: "FPX's ban is very targeted, but it's fine in the blue side this round. I'm worried about how to do BP in the red side later."
Mille: "That's what I'm worried about. When FPX is on the red side, Pansen, you have to ban it, right? Dao Mei had to be banned, so would Akali ban her? What would you do if Akali banned Kiana? Li Xu's Kiana was too eye-catching in the semifinals.
Even if FPX released Akali and Kiana at the same time, if SKT snatched Kiana, FPX couldn't possibly snatch Akali, right?
Of course this hero Doinb can be played, but it doesn't fit the current FPX strategy. After all, Akali is not like Ryze or Titan who can actively form teams.
I can imagine that FPX's BP in the red side will be very stressful. "
Ze Yuan: "That's why I said that SKT is a unique team. First of all, the individual strength of the players is very strong! The pool of heroes is wide, so you can't do BP against the players. "
SKT's second BAN in the red side was Kiana. Tian's Kiana's performance was obvious to all.
The blue side FPX gave the third BAN to Kesha.
Doll: "SKT is in a lot of pain now, should we ban Xia for the third round? If you ban Xia, you'll release Titan and Ryze. FPX has more options. "
Ze Yuan: "Shouldn't we ban Xia? Kesha has already been banned, there's no reason to give Xia to the opponent. "
The red side thought for a while and decided to ban Xia for the third round.
FPX's first BAN was Titan.
Doll: "Titan! This is FPX's representative hero. No matter if it's Doinb or Liu Qingsong, they're all very good at Titan. "
Mille: "That's right. Other people's Titan can only be a support, but FPX's Titan can swing between support and support. No other mid laner has a better understanding of Titan than Brother Inb."
Ze Yuan: "That's a unique skill. The reason why we say that FPX is a team is because they like to give up some troops in order to help their teammates in the jungle or other lanes to gain an advantage.
Look at the game. Generally, other teams were forced to give up their creeps to support their teammates. They had no choice but to give up their creeps to support their teammates. However, FPX was completely voluntary. I knew that I would lose some of my creeps, but I had to leave in advance to help my teammates find an opportunity.
The difference between active and passive losses is huge. Among them, Doinb's mid laner Titan is one of the representative heroes. "
Mille: "Doinb's playstyle is very unique. I don't attack the lane and only roam around. I choose a hero that clears the lane quickly and then run to help my teammates. It doesn't matter if I lose a little bit because your opponent in the middle lane has no place to play."
Seeing that Titan had been banned, Li Xu communicated with his teammates and banned Verus.
Xia and Kesha were gone, so the remaining AD players were one level lower. Verus was one of the best choices. Other than his short legs, Verus was good at both attacking the lane and starting the team.
Following that, SKT revealed their second choice, Wine Barrel.
This hero was usually jungling in the sewers of their respective leagues. However, when it came to the World Championship, he was like a salted fish. He could forcefully start the team, had strong counter attacks, and could split the battlefield. His unique skill set made Wine Barrel popular.
The blue team banned Blind Monk from the second floor. The junglers of both teams were very good at using Blind Monk. It could be said that every champion jungler of the World Championship was good at using Blind Monk.
Moreover, if Titan went to the middle lane, Blind Monk could also provide some early damage, ensuring that the jungler would be strong in the early game.
The blue team's third hero hesitated for a while before revealing Sivir. There was no better choice for the AD on the field.
In the current version, the only AD player who could play was EZ. However, if EZ was revealed, it meant that Titan could only go to the support position. Otherwise, his damage output would be too limited. If the opponent chose a big tank, EZ could only scrape.
SKT's third choice was revealed, Master Card.
Ze Yuan: "Card Card! SKT responded. I heard that Doinb doesn't attack the lane? I'm sorry, but my Card Card needs to support his teammates. "
Doll: "SKT's plan is to fight FPX for support. FPX's most troublesome performance in this World Championship was their quick support. Let's see if Li Ge's Card Card can do the trick."
Mille: "SKT's Card Card is meant to counter Doinb's roaming. However, Doinb's roaming is completely different from Li Ge's Card Card in the group stage. He usually starts roaming after three or four minutes, while Li Ge's Card mostly supports him with big moves."
Ze Yuan: "Let's see what Kongzi Ge chooses. Li Xu is the one who likes to support his teammates the most in SKT's lineup. Once Kongzi Ge is suppressed in the top lane and Li Xu starts running, Brother Inb's mid lane may not be able to withstand it. In the previous matches, we have seen too many mid laners gank by Li Xu."
Doll: "Looks like the red team SKT is going to leave the counter for the top lane. They're going to test Kongzi Ge's ability to withstand pressure."
