On the 3rd of March, the fourth day of the sixth week, SKT welcomed Mr. Dai's KZ-led team once again in the late match.
After losing to SKT in the previous round, KZ-led team had won a series of consecutive matches. Before they could celebrate for too long, they were facing SKT for the second time this season.
The early match was between Gen G and HLE. Gen G struggled for three rounds before losing once again.
Other than JAG, who was as steady as Mt. Tai, GEN G had another loss after this match. They were now one position ahead of KT in the relegation battle.
As GEN G's match had been going on for a long time, the late match was delayed for a while.
Finally, both teams sat in their seats, and the first match began.
KZ-blue team first, BAN first, SKT red.
KZ-blue team immediately banned Tam.
Remember: "KZ-first banned Tam, but in this version of the game, the support that was banned the most is Hammerstone. KZ-not once has Hammerstone been banned in this version of the game. Perhaps their understanding of the game is different from other teams."
Joker: "Maybe SKT's EZ and Tam duo left too much of an impression on others. They felt that if they had Tam and EZ, they would definitely fight for them. For this team, Hammerstone is strong, but his priority may not be higher than Tam's."
Remember: "SKT's top and bottom laners are more extreme. The bottom laner would always take these two heroes, while the top laner Li Xu rarely takes out the same hero."
Joker: "Actually, the entire SKT team is like this. Li Ge only has a few heroes this season. The same goes for Clid. Basically, Blind Monk has to be taken. Then, when it comes to Li Xu, the style changes. He's showing off his hero pool crazily."
Remember: "Although the heroes are relatively fixed, we all know that it's definitely not a problem with the hero pool. Faker has been in the game for so many years, and the hero pool has never been his weakness. The coach probably hopes that the players can hide a few heroes so that their opponents won't target them too easily."
Joker teased, "Then why is it that when it comes to Li Xu, all the heroes are taken out?"
Remember to forcefully explain, "I think the coach was afraid that Li Xu would get bored with one hero and insisted on bringing out Yasso to play. He wanted to find other heroes to divert his attention."
"Forcing an explanation is the most deadly. 2333."
"What a joke. I, Xu Ge, am scared of Yasso."
"From my teammates to my coach, I don't think anyone wants to see me, Xu Ge's Yasso. 23333."
"You can say whatever you want, but don't make fun of my Brother Xu! Muay Thai warning! "
"It's clearly me, Xu Ge, who has a bottomless pool of heroes. What does it have to do with Yasso? (funny). "

SKT's red team first banned Lucian. Very few AD players didn't know this strong hero. In the hands of Mr. Dai, who had strong online suppression, this hero was extremely easy to gain an advantage in the early game.
The Blue Team's second BAN was given to the Blind Monk, targeting Clid's rhythm.
The second player from the red team SKT immediately sent Karma, the big rascal, to the BANNED position.
KZ's third banned Kenan.
Remember: "KZ was stunned by Li Xu's Kenan last time. He chose to ban Kenan in the first round, but to be honest, the AD Kenan can be replaced by many solo heroes."
Joker: "The last time the two sides fought, it just so happened that the Fasting Style was rampant. It was a battle between the two sides. On one side, it was KZ's Fasting Style, and on the other side, it was Kenan's Wretched Style that exposed his true face."
SKT's red team third banned Sareth.
Remember: "Does SKT have such a high opinion of Sareth? They banned him in the first round. "
Joker: "This hero's current win rate is not high, but the skill set is there. If used well, the ceiling will be very high."
KZ's blue team did not hold back and instantly banned Lamia.
Remember: "Oh ~ ~ ~ Lamia was instantly picked. This hero was very rare in the previous versions. After two consecutive nerfs, it was finally released. However, there were not as many teams that picked it."
Joker: "Now that the damage of Snake Lady Q and W has decreased, and W's mana consumption has increased, it seems that Fist wants Snake Lady to return to the style of main E skills, and not become a brainless hero who pushes the strings."
It was SKT's turn to choose. As the first player, Li Xu was the first to reveal his hero.
"Ace pilot requests to battle!"
Li Xu mischievously revealed his airplane first, and then secretly glanced at Mr. Dai's reaction.
Although Li Xu revealed his Kutcher, unfortunately, although Mr. Dai had been in China for two years and knew his North Korean pilot's nickname, he did not realize that Li Xu was requesting to battle.
Li Xu was bored and could only switch to Hammerstone Lock. SKT's second player then locked on to EZ.
The blue team's second hero, KZ, locked on to Tauren at the speed of light.
Remember: "TusiN's Tauren used to be their signature hero, but I hesitated because TusiN's Tauren performed poorly in the international competition last year."
TusiN had represented AFS in both the continental and international competitions last year, but their performance could only be described as a disaster.
Not to mention Traveling Frog in the continental competition, TusiN's signature hero, Tauren, in the S8 international competition, kowtowed on the spot, blinked away enemies with low HP, and blinked away skills with his face when low HP.
A support player who performed very well in the Pro League lost his reputation in the international competition.
KZ's third player chose the Trickster Witch, Lefran.
Remember: "Oh? Witch, Fat General has revealed his sword. This version of Witch is still very strong, and there are no heroes to counter him. This is a very scary hero in the hands of an expert. "
SKT's third player chose the Frost Witch, Lisandro.
Joker: "Ice Lady ~ ~ Li Ge has started again. Li Bing Bing has appeared again."
Remember: "Li Ge has chosen to go back to his original self when facing Witch. Li Bing Bing is here again."
In the second round of BP, the red team SKT chose to ban Sword Magician and Urgot. The former top two heroes were now reduced to the second round of BP.
KZ backhandedly banned Spider, a jungler with a strong ability to set the pace, and then banned Ryze.
SKT's first player was Qing Gang Yin.
Remember: "Qing Gang Yin, this jungler hero has been nerfed. His E ability can't cause stun on wild monsters, so this hero will lose a little more HP when jungling. His jungling efficiency has also decreased. Qing Gang Yin's jungler has been slowly whittled down a few times."
Joker: "The main thing is that this hero is too suitable for jungling. His gank ability is too strong."
KZ directly locked onto the Weapon Master, Jax.
Remember: "Cuzz's weapon has been released. Weapon still has an advantage in the jungle against Qing Gang Yin."
Joker: "Weapon is the king of solo fights. It's not easy to fight. Qing Gang Yin's ability to seize opportunities is stronger. In terms of jungling, there are many heroes with higher priority than weapon. However, this hero's control is more stable. As long as he confirms that the opponent has used their displacement, he will jump up and stun them."
In the end, KZ locked Kesha with one hand.
Joker: "Hmm? Kesha, then it's still Snake Lady going solo. But Snake Lady going solo? Qing Gang Yin is jungling, and your Snake Lady is going solo. Is your head a little hard? "
Remember: "Will it be Lefran going solo? Witch is much more flexible. She's not as afraid of gank as Snake Lady. However, if she goes solo, Witch's role as a hero will be weakened a lot. "
