The BP began.
SKT was blue, BAN was first, and HLE was red.
SKT immediately banned Urgot. It was almost the new year, and Li Ge wanted to carry. Li Ge did not want to use this hero and could not give it to the opponent.
HEL sent Lucian to the BAN position. This was the strongest AD hero in the current version, Teddy, who was very good at it. Unfortunately, he rarely got it.
Yu Tong: "HLE still chose to target SKT's bottom lane. This season, SKT's opponents have targeted Teddy and MATA the most."
Eleven: "Everyone knows about Li Ge's hero pool. There's no way to target him. He can lie down or even carry. No matter if it's a strong mid laner or an unpopular mid laner, Li Ge can pull them all out. Li Ge has used both Sharp Text and Blademaster. Li Ge's Sharp Text has left behind the legend of Lee Sang-hyok never being petrified."
Yu Tong: "Yes, even though we've been teasing Li Ge for using Li Bingbing and Galio this season, Li Ge's hero pool is very deep, and he dares to pull out some very unpopular heroes."
Eleven: "Currently, it seems that there is no way to target Li Jiu's hero pool in the top lane. All the other carry heroes are performing very well, so all the teams are focusing on the bottom lane. They are either targeting SKT's team brain, MATA, or Teddy at the bottom lane."
SKT's second BAN was given to Ice Maiden Lisandro.
Eleven: "Hmm? Why is SKT doing this today? They banned Li Ge's left and right enforcers. These two heroes are Li Ge's most used heroes this season. Gário is one more hero away from banning Li Ge's heroes this season. The key is that they were all banned by their own people. "
Yu Tong: "Looks like Li Ge is standing up today. Li Ge is going to carry."
Eleven: "Haha! Could it be that Li Ge is preparing to snatch Gário from the blue side? "
Yu Tong: "That's possible. Even though Gário was greatly weakened in version 9.2, from the last week of version 9.1 to this week's version 9.2, Gário's priority in LCK was obviously higher than LPL."
Eleven: "Of course. Based on SKT's way of banning players, I think Li Ge won't try to steal Gário."
"Great news! SKT has chopped off Li Ge's left and right arms. Li Ge is ready to attack. Li Ge, charge!"
"Li Ge, show your sincerity by cutting off your hands. Today, I, Lee Sang-hyok, will use my feet to drive you away. Hahaha."
"How about breaking your hand to show your determination? Haha! All that's left is Gário. SKT's third BAN, please add Li Ao. "
"Li Ge says, 'It's New Year. I'm happy. All of you lie down, I'll carry you.'"

HLE's second BAN eliminated Lamia. This week, teams had started to release this hero, but it was still very strong.
SKT from the blue team eliminated Galio with a third BAN.
Yu Tong: "Oh? SKT's third BAN eliminated Gário. It's really Li Ge's third BAN. Are they not letting Li Ge play? Haha. "
Eleven: "Li Ge is going to get a new hero after facing GRF's Dao Mei. Even though I can't see the bullet screen, I can imagine that everyone is celebrating. It's going to be very festive."
HLE's third BAN eliminated Hammerstone.
Yu Tong said, "Han Hua targeted SKT's bottom lane and banned them. He banned the ADC, Lucian, and the support, Bron, who are very active in the bottom lane."
Eleven: "Hammerstone is the most obvious support strengthened by Aftershock. Previously, Hammerstone's most obvious problem was that he was able to initiate attacks in the lane, but he wasn't tanky enough. With Aftershock, this hero can just walk up to you and you won't be able to fight him."
Yu Tong: "HLE's intention is clear. They won't let SKT's bottom lane move, so Sword Demon is released. SKT can take Sword Demon. Even though Sword Demon is weakened, it can still be used as a swing position. Sword Demon has appeared in LCK's midlaner, top laner, and jungler."
SKT's first BAN on Akali on the blue side caused the audience to gasp. Li Xu's Akali had left a deep impression on the audience.
Yu Tong: "SKT's first BAN on Akali and not Sword Demon. Sword Demon will definitely go to Han Hua."
Eleven: "However, SKT's first BAN on Akali is not bad. Li Xu's Akali is very proficient. This hero has a 57.1% win rate in LCK. For a hero that has appeared in more than 20 matches, this win rate is quite high."
Yu Tong: "Of course, if Li Ge is confident, he can use Akali to fight Enchantress. Akali has a chance of killing Enchantress."
HLE's first BAN was Sword Demon, followed by Tauren.
Yu Tong: "It should be T Emperor using Sword Demon. HLE has never had a player other than T Emperor use Sword Demon before. Are we going to see Li Xu's Akali beating Sword Demon in the top lane again?"
Eleven: "After Version 9.2's slash, Sword Demon is weaker against Urgot. However, Urgot is not used this round, so Sword Demon is still a very good choice for the top lane."
SKT's second and third BAN immediately revealed their bottom lane combo, EZ and Gabron.
HLE's third BAN was Trickster Witch Lefran.
Yu Tong: "Oh ~ ~ Lava took out Enchantress, so Faker can use Ryze to fight Enchantress. Aftershock Ryze is very good against Enchantress."
Eleven: "Ice Lady is also a good choice for Enchantress, but she has been banned by SKT."
"Lee Men Nongji?"
"Damn! I thought I could see Li Ge playing Enchantress, but this little brat stole Enchantress. "
"Enchantress's passive is Faker. Can the opponent play it? 2333。”
"Li Ge, kill him. No one can jump in front of me, Lee Sang-hyok."

HLE's second BP banned Jess.
Yu Tong: "HLE banned Jess in the second round. It seems like Hanhua thought that Akali would be played by Li Ge, so they banned Jess to prevent SKT from getting a double Poke formation."
Eleven: "Then here's the problem. Since Hanhua thought that Akali would be played by Li Ge, why don't you ban Li Xu's Sareth? In the last round against GRF, we saw Li Xu's Sareth. It was very strong. "
On the other hand, SKT banned Kesha, preventing the opposing team from getting Kesha and Tauren into the arena.
HLE's last BAN was given to Sareth.
Yu Tong: "As expected, HLE banned Li Xu's Sareth. In the last round, Li Xu's Sareth stunned the world. No one knows what kind of effect his stolen ultimate will have. Now, many players are practicing this hero crazily in ranking."
Eleven: "Moreover, the current Sword Demon and Tauren's moves on the field are very useful. In the later stages, Sareth can steal Tauren's move into the field and kill seven times, but the other party won't be able to do anything to him. Then, if he switches to Sword Demon's move, he can revive."
Yu Tong: "Then SKT can let Li Xu take Akali, and Li Ge can pick Aftershock Ryze to fight Enchantress."
SKT's last BAN was given to Olaf.
