In Huya's live broadcast room, the commentators for today's match were interesting. Both Long Hair and Joker were commentating together.
Long Hair said, "In the second week of the LCK competition, the first match will be between SKT and SB. Joker, what do you think? Are you tired of commentating and playing at the same time? "
Joker did not mind his partner's teasing. "Not bad, not bad. Joker is more tired than I am."
Joker: "From the first two rounds of the competition, both teams seem to be in good condition. SB even managed to easily defeat the veteran teams GENG and KZ with a 2: 0 score. SKT's players are also in good condition. In the last round against AFS, Li Xu's Lady Swordplay even broke several records in the LCK League, including the record for kills in a single match and the number of kills in a single match."
Long Hair: "After SKT underwent a major overhaul, it's obvious to the naked eye that the strength of the players in each lane is much stronger than last year. Last season, SKT would sometimes inexplicably blow up in the lane, but this season, there haven't been many instances of them blowing up in the lane. On the other hand, Li Xu often blows up the opposing team in the lane."
Joker said, "Yes! Li Xu is an outstanding player in the lane. I was the one who commentated his first match in the Kespa Cup. At that time, I was very surprised by his lane skills. At that time, he was up against APK, a team in the secondary league. Later on, when he was up against LCK, Li Xu still displayed his dominance in the lane. "
"This team's name is really awesome. SKT versus SB, haha!"
"Joker is SB. It's a fact. 23333."
"Haha! I wonder if Joker is embarrassed when he sees SB Joker on the screen? "
"Good luck, Li Xu. Beat SB Joker. 23333."
"Brothers, let's do this together. SB Joker."
After that, the bullet screen was a series of "SB Joker."

It was time for the match. Jin Zhengxun clapped his hands. "Let's go. It's time to go on stage. Cheer up."
Everyone walked out of the preparation room one after another. Li Xu looked at Mata worriedly. Mata followed behind them, still looking like she had nothing to live for.
As soon as SKT walked out of the players' tunnel, they were greeted by the cheers of the crowd. Although it was not as enthusiastic as the Kespa Cup finals, there was no other team in the LCK with such a fan atmosphere other than SKT.
Following that, the members of Team SB entered the arena. The audience also applauded for this new face of LCK. LCK valued tradition and respected the seniors, but at the same time, they also welcomed new talents. Furthermore, this new team's performance in the first two rounds had blinded countless people.
After sitting in the competition area, the BP started. The blue team chose SB first, BAN first, and the red team chose SKT.
As soon as the game started, SB immediately banned Luo. As the support hero with the highest priority in the current version of the game, Luo was definitely a threat in the hands of the team's brain, MATA.
SKT backhandedly banned Lamia. As the red team, this ban was a must.
SB's second hand banned Tauren. Although MATA sometimes made some strange moves, most of the time, she was the team's most trustworthy brain.
Long Hair: "Two consecutive bans on MATA's support. Team SB has really invested a lot in SKT's bottom lane. Li Ge and Li Xu are not banned at all."
Joker: "I don't think it's necessary to put so many bans on MATA's support. MATA is good at many supports, and many of them can play a good role in the team. If it really doesn't work out, they can still use Jess as a support."
Long Hair: "Sigh! No, no, no, Jess's support is too much. However, MATA can use any support. He's good at both offensive and defensive supports. The key is that SB Joker's best support is Stone Hammering. Coach probably thinks that Stone Hammering Tauren won't be easy. "
Joker: "You can just call out the ID, there's no need to add the team name in front. Or you can call out the full name of the team."
Long Hair explained, "I'm afraid that I'll confuse the two of you. Just remember that SB Joker is not you."
SKT's second hand banned Lucian. This AD carry, who was jokingly called '* * *' by the Chinese players, had a very high priority in the current version. In the early stages of the game, they could take the initiative in any AD carry hero.
The blue team's third BAN spot was given to Urgot. This hero had been snatched by SKT whenever it was released in recent matches. Moreover, it was always in the middle lane. Even Li Ge's Ice Maiden had to be put aside.
Joker: "SB's third BAN on Li Ge's most used Urgot. That means that Li Ge is going to play Ice Maiden. Crab was banned. What's the meaning of Li Ge licking the microphone? Targeting my Faker? Angrily biting the microphone. "
Long Hair: "Once Urgot was banned, it feels like the probability of Li Ge using Ice Maiden has skyrocketed. However, there are still many heroes to choose from. The middle lane is actually quite open."
Joker: "Let's see Gário. Gário is currently the most important middle lane hero in the current version of the game. Let's see if Li Ge plays Gário or not. If he doesn't play Gário, then he'll definitely be Ice Maiden."
The red team SKT sent Qing Gang Yin to the third BAN spot. The opposite team's jungler, Onfleek, had performed perfectly in the previous round. He had used his big moves several times to dodge the opponent's key skills and counterattacked.
SB's first pick was Sword Magician. With two top laners banning Urgot, Sword Magician would be going against the version of the game if he didn't snatch it.
Joker: "SB's first pick for Sword Magician should have been expected by both sides. As long as Sword Magician is released, there's no reason not to snatch it. Let's see if SKT takes Gário. If they don't, the opposite team will definitely take it. In the previous round, Dove's Gário played very well."
Coach Jin Zhengxun asked, "Faker, do you want to snatch Gário?
Li Ge hesitated. "I don't really want to play this kind of jungler hero today."
Li Xu was surprised. Li Ge, do you have some misunderstanding about jungler heroes? Do you think that Ice Maiden is a carry hero?
Jin Zhengxun: "If we don't snatch Gário this round, the opposite team will definitely snatch it. Do you want me to give you Zooey to fight Gário later?"
Li Ge thought for a while. "Gário is better. It's not good to give it to the opposite team."
In the end, SKT backhanded Galio, and the second hero's avatar was Hammerstone.
Joker: "Wow! SKT wants to snatch SB's Hammerstone? In the previous four rounds, Joker has only used this support hero. What if it's snatched? "
Joker shouted exaggeratedly, "Wow! Save me! I don't have any heroes to play. "
Long Hair teased, "Then why don't you tell us secretly, which hero are you going to use?"
Joker laughed. "It's okay. This player is actually in the ranking. He has played support heroes like Morgana, Wine Barrel, and Shen more often."
In the end, SKT did not manage to snatch Hammerstone and chose Teddy's signature hero, EZ.
After all, EZ and Hammerstone were not a good match. EZ did not have enough damage in the early game and was not stable enough. His main advantage was his long arms.
A hero like Hammerstone that could be used for a full set was best paired with heroes like Lucian and Draven who had high burst power in the early game.
