Once they were seated, the BP started. GRF went first, BAN went first, and SKT went first.
GRF immediately banned Hammerstone, while SKT went back and banned Akali.
Remember: "SKT first banned Chovy and Akali. Although Li Xu won two Akali in the last round, the opponent is very good at this hero as well. Chovy used a lot of Akali in this year's Spring Season, so GRF will pick this hero as soon as it is released."
Ze Yuan: "It's rare to see the first BAN go to Lamia, but this hero should still be banned. Although Lamia's W ability has been nerfed in Version 9.2 and has a longer cooldown, it's still very strong in the lane."
GRF's second BAN was given to EZ, who continued to target SKT's bottom lane.
Remember: "GRF's second BAN is still targeting SKT's bottom lane. They banned the tailed beasts so that EZ's jinchuriki, Teddy, won't be able to get EZ."
Ze Yuan: "From the recent matches, Teddy's EZ is definitely worthy of a BAN. However, GRF's first two BANS were aimed at the bottom lane, not the middle and top lanes."
SKT's second BAN went to Lamia, but this hero that had just been nerfed was still not released.
Ze Yuan: "Sure enough, Lamia was still banned. This hero's lane suppression is still very strong."
Remember: "Although this hero has been nerfed, it seems that Lamia is still very strong. This hero still has the highest win rate in the mid lane, followed by Blademan."
GRF's third BAN was given to MATA, while the first three BANS were all aimed at SKT's bottom lane.
Remember: "GRF's third BANS are very targeted. They are all aimed at the heroes that SKT is good at."
Ze Yuan said, "This is also the blue team's advantage. They can target their players and ban them. The red team often needs to target the version of the game and ban the bottom lane. Looks like GRF is planning to target SKT's bottom lane."
Uzi: "GRF is probably trying to pin down SKT's bottom lane so that they won't be able to move, and they won't be able to set the pace. Then, they'll use their signature combination of midlaners to open up the situation. They have absolute confidence in their midlaners."
SKT's third BAN was given to Lucian. GRF's first three BANS were obviously aimed at the bottom lane. Of course, they would not put a strong AD carry like Lucian on the opposite side.
Ze Yuan: "SKT saw GRF's first three BANS and put Lucian on the BAN spot. Now, here comes the problem. Sword Magician and Urgot have been released. Let's see how both sides choose. They will probably take one each."
Since this was version 9.2, Gário, who was the best choice in the previous version, was chopped down by Fist's Zhanmadao. The damage of his Q skill, War Squall, was greatly reduced. As a result, Gário could no longer clear the lane quickly, and his support ability was greatly reduced.
Although Sword Magician and Urgot were slightly weakened, it didn't affect the strength of these two heroes in mid-game team battles. Their powerful entry ability, AoE damage, and excellent tankiness made these two heroes still one of the most powerful heroes in this version.
GRF's first BAN was Sword Magician, while SKT's second BAN was Urgot and Olaf.
Remember: "As expected, Sword Magician Urgot was taken by both sides. However, SKT took Olaf directly. This hero has been used a lot by Tarzan in the past few matches. His ability to set the pace in the early game is very strong."
GRF's second BAN was Thane, and the crowd burst into laughter.
Li Xu was happy. Sword's big brother had a temper.
The caster's camera was pointed directly at Li Xu. On the big screen, Li Xu could not hide the smile on his face.
Kim Ji-hyun: "Wow! After the last match, Li Jiu said that Sword's Cheyenne wasn't good enough. In the end, Sword decided to use Cheyenne against Li Jiu, and Li Jiu looked very relaxed. "" That's right, Li Jiu.
Park Ji Hwan: "Using Thane against Urgot is not bad, but we can't confirm that this Urgot is the right path. After all, SKT's Urgot has always been used by player Faker. Let's see how it is distributed."
Ze Yuan: "It's here, it's here. In the pre-match interview, Sword said that Li Xu should learn how to play Thane from his cat. Now that he has taken Thane out himself, it seems that he is still upset about Li Xu's mockery."
Remember: "But I have a feeling that Li Ge will still play Urgot. I just don't know if Thane will be played as well."
"Sword has a temper too. Li Xu said that my Thane is bad? I'll continue to use Thane. "
"There's no need to think about it. I'm 100% sure that Li Ge will play Urgot, not me."
"I think it's okay. It's better for Li Ge to play Urgot than Li Ao and Li Bingbing."
GRF's third hero chose Burong. This hero's protection and crowd control abilities were very strong, and his ability to gank in the jungle was not bad.
SKT immediately backhanded Tam. Tam was a good choice to face off against Burong. No matter what the opponent's lineup was, Tam's protection ability was there for all to see.
Moreover, based on how GRF's first three BONs were, the second round would probably be a full BAN on the bottom lane, and Tam would very likely be BANNED.
In the second round of BP, SKT from the red side first banned Piggy Girl. Unlike Clid's Piggy Girl, this hero, Tarzan, played very well, and his coordination with GRF's first three heroes was too good.
GRF from the blue side continued to target the bottom lane, and backhanded Verus. This hero paired with Tam was very strong in lane.
SKT's last BAN was given to Zach, and they continued to target Tarzan.
GRF's last BAN was given to Eich. This hero paired with Tam was very strong in lane play, and their utility in the bottom lane was also very good.
Remember: "SKT's last two BONs were given to Piggy Girl and Zach, restricting GRF's ability to initiate the team. GRF's five BAN slots were all given to SKT's bottom lane, so they wanted to suppress SKT's bottom lane."
Ze Yuan: "Now, both sides don't have many AD carries to choose from. GRF can still choose Kesha to pair with Burong, but SKT can't possibly choose Kesha or Vayne to pair with Tam, right?"
Uzi: "GRF's Kesha is a very good choice, but SKT's AP damage needs to be increased."
SKT's Teddy had a discussion with the coach, and they immediately selected Victor. In the absence of a more traditional AD carry option, they selected Magic Core's bottom lane for the first time in the season.
GRF from the blue side used two hands to select Kesha and Lisandro.
Remember: "Oh? Ice Lady has been selected, so Sword Magician will be the jungler. Sword Magician's jungler is a little more tanky, and he's not as good as Olaf in the early game. However, the combination of Sword Magician and Ice Lady is very strong. "
Ze Yuan: "Griffin's line-up is very clear. Sword takes Zane up, and Sword Magician junglers. It's just a matter of whether SKT's Urgot is played by Li Ge or Li Xu."
SKT's line-up had already been confirmed. Li Ge took Urgot to the middle lane, and only one laner was left.
SKT's last pick was Oloi, but it was changed to Gnar at the last moment.
