APK's first BAN was Little Temptress, Qing Gang Yin, and Gário.
SKT directly banned Sword Demon, Snake Lady, and Lucian. They were all strong heroes in this version.
Finally, the lineups of both sides were confirmed.
APK blue side:
Top Laner: Erssu (Thain)
Jungler: Kakao (Zhao Xin)
Mid Laner: Mickey (Dao Mei)
ADC: Fury (Kenan)
Support: Secret (Tauren)
SKT red side:
Top Laner: KING (Urgat)
Jungler: Clid (Blind Monk)
Mid Laner: Faker (Lisandro)
ADC: Teddy (Izreal)
Support: MATA (Law)
When entering the game screen, the system notification sounded.
"Ding! Mission released. "
"Grand Entrance: You are eager to prove yourself in your debut. You have won your first professional match. Reward: 5 Potential Points. You have won your first MVP award. Reward: 5 Potential Points."
The screen cut to the game screen, and both sides faced each other in the river.
Li Xu planted his eyes in the middle of the river so that he could detect Zhao Xin's jungler's position.
The opposing team had chosen Zhao Xin to set the pace in the early game. On his side, Ice Lady in the mid lane, EZ and Law in the bottom lane were all very agile heroes. Without a doubt, Zhao Xin would often come to the top lane to find trouble with him.
"Li Xu, help me get the red buff." Clid sent a message. He was ready to start with the red buff.
Law saw that Zhao Xin was also on the red buff from the blue side.
Li Xu's normal attack triggered Urgat's passive. He circled around the red buff, helping Blind Monk to quickly reduce the red buff's HP. He turned around and prepared to return to the line.
However, when he passed by the triangle grass in his own jungle, a huge axe fell from the sky. Cheyenne hid in the grass and charged up to full Q, sending Urgat flying. He did not do anything else and turned around to leave, as a greeting.
"This brother is so enthusiastic?"
Li Xu did not care about him. Two Level One brawny men could not do much. His passive was on cooldown, so he could not deplete Cheyenne's HP. He used Crab Steps to return to the line.
On the line, Li Xu would use his passive to deal a wave of damage whenever he had the chance.
Urgot's passive skill was very interesting. When Urgot attacked, the leg in the corresponding direction would spit out flames, dealing damage to enemies in the cone-shaped area.
Urgot's six legs could all activate passive abilities, and together with his positioning, he could cause decent damage.
"Li Xu's line alignment is pretty good. He used the E skill to interrupt Cheyenne's Q charging. Together with the passive percentage damage, he successfully reduced Cheyenne's HP," Joker exclaimed.
"In the first few matches of the Kespa Cup, we've already seen Urgot fight against Cheyenne many times. This is the first time we've seen Urgot suppress Cheyenne so quickly. He's even starting to suppress Cheyenne with the last hit. Li Xu's fundamentals are very solid." Nan Bo was still praising.
"Cheyenne was chosen to be on the frontline to withstand pressure. He's tanky, so he's not afraid of losing some HP. Now, it's up to Li Xu to see if he can continue to suppress Cheyenne."
FirstBlood!
Li Ge in the middle lane was taken down by Zhao Xin.
"Li Ge was careless this time. He didn't think that Zhao Xin would come to catch him so early. He used the E skill to clear the frontline, but luckily he was able to switch out Dao Mei before he died."
"But APK, this team from the secondary league, seems to be performing pretty well. They've done a good job with the details. They're not at a disadvantage."
"Clid, if there's a chance, come and catch a wave." Li Xu sent a signal to Blind Monk. He wasn't in a hurry to clear the frontline.
Clid understood and prepared to directly walk through the grass by the river. Cheyenne hadn't returned home yet, so there was most likely no vision here.
Perhaps it was because of the pressure from the HP, but Cheyenne was preparing to clear the troops and go home.
Blind Monk hadn't arrived yet, but he couldn't wait any longer.
Urgot saw the opportunity and used the E skill to backfire on Cheyenne. He locked onto the target and activated W Cleansing. He spat out flames crazily, and Cheyenne's health dropped rapidly.
The veteran Cheyenne was shocked. He went around the minions and wanted to retreat, but Urgot, who had activated Cleansing, ignored the impact of non-hero units and kept spitting saliva at Cheyenne.
Cheyenne's health quickly dropped to less than one bar.
"Wow! Cheyenne underestimated Urgot's burst of damage. Is he going to kill him alone? Cheyenne still has Blink. "Kim Minna, who was commentating, was very excited.
As if he heard her voice, the veteran decisively used Blink and wanted to run.
"This is Death's Blink! Blind Monk has arrived, "Park Ji Hwan said.
At this time, Blind Monk crept out from behind him. He put in his eyes and prepared to use W Cleansing. Cheyenne was in despair.
The sound effects of Blink rang out. Urgot's figure flashed and appeared behind Cheyenne. He raised his sword and took away the veteran's head with a normal attack.
Blink for a kill steal!
"?" Clid's face was full of question marks. Bro, you told me to come over and you didn't even give me some soup?
"Wow! This is a solo kill. Urgot killed Cheyenne alone. Blind Monk didn't get an assist. "
The crowd suddenly fell silent. The enthusiastic cheers from both sides also disappeared, leaving only sporadic shouts.
The caster immediately gave Li Xu a close-up shot. In the shot, Li Xu's expression was calm.
Lin Yuqing didn't play with her phone like she said. Instead, she watched the match seriously and asked Xue Rou, who was next to her, from time to time.
Seeing Li Xu's amazing kill, Lin Yuqing and Xue Rou immediately cheered. They were very eye-catching in the silent crowd.
After Urgot finished the kill, he swayed his butt and walked back to the tower, not recognizing anyone. He was on his way back.
Blind Monk stood there in a daze. His lonely eyes outside the blue tower told Clid what was going on in his heart.
"Sorry bro," Li Xu said in the voice chat.
"It's okay, I'll continue to help you with your military training." Clid expressed his understanding.
He knew how much pressure Li Xu was under. At the beginning, when the stadium erupted with loud boos, he even felt his heart stop. These boos weren't directed at him. He couldn't imagine how Li Xu could keep his expression this calm.
Joker: "Beautiful Li Xu. This kill was very detailed. Urgot's passive dealt almost full damage. Also, friends and viewers, this is Li Xu's first kill in LCK. This is the first kill in LCK by a Chinese player. This is a memorable moment."
The comments in the broadcast room exploded.
"Awesome Xu Ge, can you believe that Urgot soloed Cheyenne?"
“FirstBlood! Korea's first kill unlocked! Good luck, Li Xu. "
"Urgot's steps were so cool when he didn't recognize anyone after killing him! 2333。”
"Blind Monk's heart is bitter. He came all the way here and you didn't even give him some soup."
"Let's not talk too much. Let's start with Urgot."
After returning home and taking out his small wooden mallet and cloth boots, Li Xu directly TP went online. However, without Flash, he didn't dare to continue pushing. If he was caught by Zhao Xin, he would definitely die.
6 minutes later, Li Ge started fighting with Dao Mei again in the middle lane.
"A cold light first, then a spear like a dragon!"
Zhao Xin came out from the bushes in the river, holding a three foot long spear and crazily stabbing towards Li Ge's butt.
