At this time, the familiar fist logo appeared on the broadcast screen.
Ze Yuan: "The familiar Roit logo. In 2019, we will be broadcasting the first regular season match of the LCK Spring League live from the China Broadcasting Studio. Now, the BP starts. I hope that throughout 2019, our Huya Platform will be able to provide everyone with a year of exciting LCK matches."
The BP starts. In the first round, SKT will ban the blue team and JAG will pick the red team.
SKT will ban Akali first.
Hao Kai: "Why did SKT ban Akali? This version of Akali is still very strong, but the opponent's Grace's Akali isn't that strong. They probably won't steal it. Moreover, Li Ge's Akali had a very good performance in the Kespa Cup. "
Ze Yuan: "I don't think it's necessary to ban Akali first. Akali isn't the opponent's signature hero. If we're talking about strong heroes in the version, there are many more who have higher priority than Akali."
JAG on the red team immediately banned Lamia. This toxic hero was so strong that she couldn't even get on the field. However, in Version 9.1, fists were ignored and no knives were used on her.
SKT's second round banned Gário. The first two rounds were targeted at strong heroes in the version.
Hao Kai: "This version of Gário is too strong. It's not a must. SKT banned the blue team. Is Li Ge planning to play Ice Lady again?"
Ze Yuan: "Looking at this situation, it's very possible."
JAG's second round banned Sword Magician. This strong hero didn't have time to use his knives.
Ze Yuan: "There's nothing wrong with this Sword Magician ban. In the Kespa Cup, Li Xu's Sword Magician gave his opponents too much pressure."
Hao Kai: "Although Li Xu's Warrior heroes are very good, you can't go against the version. You still have to ban him. Let's not talk about whether we can win or not. At least we can't let him get such a strong hero."
SKT's third BAN eliminated Dao Mei.
Ze Yuan: "The blue team has banned Dao Mei. Looks like SKT is not planning to use it. Li Ge's Dao Mei is out of the question, and Li Xu's Dao Mei performance in the Kespa Cup finals is something everyone has seen. It's definitely not a problem with the hero pool, it's just that they don't want their opponent to get it."
JAG gave the third BAN to Lucian.
Hao Kai: "Lucian, there's no problem with this BAN position. This hero is one of the few heroes that can set the pace in the early game from the AD position. Teddy is also very good at this hero."
Ze Yuan: "Lucian is the second most frequently picked hero in Teddy's entire career. It can be said to be a very iconic hero. At the same time, it was also the hero that made him shine in the Kespa Cup."
Hao Kai: "That's right. Snake Lady and Lucian are the two heroes with the highest BP rate in the LPL league. Snake Lady hasn't even been released in a single round."
Ze Yuan: "Then SKT can be the first to snatch Urgot. Let's see if they want to snatch it. I don't think there's a need to go against the version. This is the first match of the new season, there's no need to make such a fuss."
Hao Kai: "I think they can snatch it. Let's go with the version first, then think of something to counter the version."
"It doesn't make sense for SKT to pick Ice Lady. The version is so strong that the BAN is almost over. There's no need to release Urgot, right?"
"Hehe! Don't you know SKT's character? When did Urgot become stronger than Li Bingbing? "
"Yamate, don't pick Li Bingbing. Li Ge has already proven in the Kespa Cup that he can show off. There's no need for him to pick a utility hero."
• • • • •
Luckily, the audience's worries did not come true.
SKT immediately picked Urgot. In this version, the strong heroes Li Ge and Li Xu could both play. Let's snatch it first.
JAG immediately locked Low and Thain.
Li Xu smiled. Lindarang's move made Cheyenne directly admit defeat. No matter if he was the one who took Urgot or not, Cheyenne was chosen to withstand pressure. Cheyenne's ability to withstand pressure is really strong, but it's not easy to suppress others. "
In the end, the live broadcast director was unprepared and gave Li Xu a close-up. Li Xu did not even have time to hide his smile before he was caught red-handed.
Realizing that something was wrong, Li Xu's smile immediately collapsed. He stared at his computer screen with a serious expression.
Kim Ji-hyun: "Contestant Li Xu seems very confident. After picking Thain in Lindarang, he put himself on the weaker side."
Park Ji-hwan: "Maybe it's the coach's tactical request. But JAG really doesn't need to pick Thain first."
Hao Kai: "Li Xu's expression looks like he has a card up his sleeve."
Ze Yuan: "This live broadcast director is very bad. They were doing BP when Li Xu's smiling expression came in."
"F * ck, Li Xu's confident smile is very much like a factory manager's."
“777777。”
"The world is focused on you!"
"Previous poster, your account is gone! Ancestor Sevin is watching you. "
"Li Xu's face changing skills are still so good. He instantly stopped smiling. If I hadn't been staring at the screen, there would have been no trace of it."
SKT immediately locked down the combination of Tam and EZ. This combination was very handy for Teddy and MATA in the bottom lane.
Hao Kai: "Tam and EZ, SKT's usual bottom lane has appeared again. Logically speaking, this combination should be very weak in the early stages of the game. However, in the previous matches, we often saw MATA's Tam leave EZ behind and run to the other lanes to provide support. This way, Teddy wouldn't be suppressed by the opposing team."
Ze Yuan: "It's hard for anything to happen to this duo, but there's no way to limit the development of the opposing team's AD."
JAG backhandedly locked down Kesha. He gave up on Luo's classic partner, Dusk, and chose Kesha, who was faster in the front lane.
The second round was a BP. Since Li Ge didn't pick Ice Lady in the first round, JAG naturally banned him.
"That's great. Ice Lady is gone, and so is Gário. Hahahaha."
"Guapi, let's see how you're going to survive. How about you pick out a Little Fishman from the sewers? "
"Coach JAG, well done. I don't believe Li Ge will pick out a Little Dan Lulu again."
"Li Ge, continue to perform Naruto's Tribulation and destroy the opposing team."
SKT immediately banned Tsar. The opposing team's mid laner, Grace, played this hero well. In the two matches last season, Grace's Tsar had left a deep impression on everyone.
JAG's last BAN was on Blind Monk. Other than occasionally paying respect to a certain veteran jungler, Clid's Blind Monk was very good at driving the pace of the game.
SKT finally banned Qian Jue.
JAG picked first in the second round and locked down Zooey.
SKT picked Zhao Xin first.
Hao Kai: "SKT wants to pick a jungler who drives the pace of the game in the early stages, but Zhao Xin isn't a good choice. He can drive the pace of the game in the early stages, but he's useless in the later stages. With Cheyenne in the front, Zhao Xin doesn't dare to attack."
Ze Yuan: "Without Blind Monk to drive the pace of the game in the early stages, we still have Kazik. There's no need for Zhao Xin."
As expected, SKT picked Mantis.
In the end, SKT's choice was out of everyone's expectations. They did not choose a mid lane hero, but instead, they looted the Unparalleled Swordsman – Fiona.
