After the S8 season, AFS, which had suffered a crushing defeat in the international competition, was reshuffled and rebuilt like the other teams.
Midlaner Kuro and AD Carry Kramer moved to LPL, while Tusin moved to KZ to form a new bottom lane combination with Mr. Dai and Deft.
Three of the main players from last season had left the team. The jungler Snow Jade Spirit sat on the bench in the first match of the new season. Only the top laner Kiin remained in the top lane of AFS.
He sat in the player seat.
Li Xu took a deep breath and looked at Kiin, who was sitting diagonally opposite him. His expression was extremely serious.
Sorry, big brother, I have to deal with you guys as soon as possible.
He glanced at the sidelines. Kim Minna was not there. Li Xu mumbled softly.
"Once the match starts, I'll kill all of you!"
The live broadcast caught Li Xu again. Li Xu's mumbling could be clearly seen on the big screen.
Kim Ji-hyun: "Haha! Li Xu is mumbling something, but I don't know what he's saying. Looks like we need to hire another lip-reading expert. Every time, the broadcast can capture the other side of Li Xu. "
Park Ji-hwan: "Look at how serious Li Xu is! Kiin needs to be more spirited. "
"Li Xu is quite interesting. He's like a kid."
"F * ck, Xu Ge is so cute!"
"Xu Ge, go for it. Miss Minna is watching you. For the MVP, go for it!!!"
"Do you know what Li Xu is saying? Li Xu is saying, 'For Miss Minna, I'm going to beat you guys.' "

The first match started. AFS from the blue side started with a BAN, and SKT from the red side.
The blue team's AFS immediately banned Li Ge's Ice Maiden. Li Ge's Ludicrous Hero had an astonishing win rate, so people had no choice but to take him seriously.
SKT did not hesitate and immediately sent the Lamia to the BANNED position. This hero was basically a BANNED option for the Red Team.
AFS had eliminated Tam with a second BAN. The combination of SKT's bottom laner Tam and EZ had disgusted many teams.
The red team's second BAN was given to Lucian. Since the opponent had banned Tam, it was very likely that they would want to make a move on the bottom lane. In that case, it was necessary to ban the strongest AD carry in the early stages of the game.
The blue team's third player banned Li Xu's Swordswoman, while SKT banned Bloom, who had a strong offensive ability.
Remember: "Currently, the blue team's first three BANS are all aimed at SKT players. There are no strong heroes in the game that are banned."
Eleven: "Yes, Li Xu's Kenji gave JAG a hard time in the last match. Although the final score was 2-0, the opponent could not do anything to him. MATA's Tam and Li Ge's Ice Maiden are heroes with outstanding performances in the previous matches."
"Li Ge, Ice Maiden is gone. What about Trickster Enchantress?"
"Upstairs, I'm afraid you're living in a dream. Without Li Bingbing, what kind of hero can't I, Li Ge, play?"
"I'm pretty good at Tribulation. Even if En Jing is not here, Li Ge's Tribulation is still a mid-laner."
"Sword Magician has been released. Does Li Xu have a chance to get it? I want to see Sword Magician. "
"Don't even think about it. The blue team will definitely snatch Sword Magician first. SKT has a high chance of snatching Gário. I'm happy to see that."

The blue team, AFS, was the first to pick Sword Magician.
Remember: "Sure enough, AFS did not hesitate to pick Sword Magician. This hero has the highest priority in the top lane. Moreover, this hero can be swayed. It's not bad to pick him as a mid laner, or even as a jungler."
Eleven: "Yes, that's why Urgot was given to SKT. If nothing goes wrong, SKT will definitely take it. Urgot is not weak against Sword Magician at the top lane."
SKT instantly picked Urgot, but SKT took more than ten seconds to pick Luo for the second hero.
Remember: "SKT picked Urgot. Urgot and Sword Magician are the best choices in this version. But why didn't they pick Gário for the second hero? In this version, Gário can be said to be the hero with the highest priority in the mid lane. "
Eleven: "Li Ge hasn't used Gário in a long time, but this Luo is not bad. When Tam and Burong are banned, Luo can snatch first. MATA is the brain of the team. Once the game enters the mid to late game, they will need a strong support to start the team."
Since the other side did not want it, AFS directly picked Gário and picked Qing Gang Yin to partner with Gário.
In the first round, SKT chose Dusk as their last player. This hero had strong self-defense capabilities. Together with their own support, Luo, they had more room to maneuver when facing Galio and Qing Gang Yin.
In the second round, SKT banned Kesha and EZ, not wanting to give AFS an easy lineup to break through.
The blue team banned Ryze and Akali. Li Ge's Ryze and Akali were both outstanding players.
SKT picked Spider in the second round to pick up the rhythm. This hero's ability to coordinate with his teammates was very strong.
Remember: "Spider, this hero's ability to drive the rhythm in the early game is very strong. His instant burst ability allows Urgot's big move to kill the enemy quickly."
Eleven: "In yesterday's match, GRF's support for Spider King was also very eye-catching. He helped his own AD to eat a lot of plasters in the early game. However, SKT's Spider is definitely a jungler."
AFS picked Sivir and Tauren in the last two heroes.
Remember: "AFS picked Tauren and Gásivir. This lineup is very complete and there is no pressure in the bottom lane."
Eleven: "Yes, AFS 'lineup is too strong. In this version, Sivir has just been strengthened. When Q passes through the hero, the damage will not be reduced."
In SKT's team voice chat, the coach asked Li Ge for his last choice in the mid lane.
Li Ge thought for a while. Currently, the best mage hero to fight Gário was Zooey. However, Zooey would be very passive against Qing Gang Ying's gank.
Li Xu said, "Li Ge, you fight Urgot."
Li Ge was stunned and nodded. Urgot was indeed a very good choice. He did not need to worry about which hero to fight against Gário in the middle lane.
Thus, SKT picked Blade Dancer • Arielia in the end.
Remember: "Oh! SKT's last choice is Dao Mei. That should be Dao Mei in the top lane. Li Ge will use Urgot in the middle lane. Urgot is indeed a good choice against Gário. "
The two teams began to exchange heroes. Li Xu picked Dao Mei.
The lineups of both teams were confirmed.
AFS on the blue team:
Top Laner: Kiin (Dark Swordsman, Yatokus)
Jungler: Dread (Qing Gang Ying, Camille)
