As they sat in their seats, the second round of BP began.
GRF's blue team picked first, BAN first, SKT's red team.
SKT's blue team picked Hammerstone as their first BAN, while SKT's red team picked Vampire.
Vampire was a late-game hero who was like a fish in water in a slow-paced league like LCK. All he had to do was play dirty in the early game, and his power in the late game was explosive.
GRF's second BAN spot was given to Blind Monk. Clid's jungler rhythm was very important to SKT.
Although Clid's Blind Monk did not manage to gank anyone in the early stages of the previous match, Clid's control of the resources was the key to SKT's victory in the previous match. The early stages of the canyon and the two Earthen Dragons were too deadly.
SKT's Gário was still banned. Lehends' support Gário was more of a headache than Gário, who dominated the mid lane in the previous version.
SKT's blue team picked Little Temptress as their last BAN spot.
Remember: "Oh, this round, Griffin is no longer targeting the AD position. He's bringing out all of his ADs. Since the last round's results were not good, he's changing the BP strategy. Griffin's coaching team has a clear idea."
Eleven: "The last round's results against Teddy were very poor. No one expected Teddy to pull out a small cannon, which gave him a huge advantage in the bottom lane."
SKT's third BAN spot was given to Jess. Sword's hero was very easy to target. Other than Jess, the rest of the heroes were just a bunch of hooligans.
GRF's first BAN was Kalista.
Remember: "Kalista? Griffin picked Kalista when Lucian was released. He must be trying to gain an advantage in the bottom lane. Kalista's later game is weaker than Lucian's. "
Attitude: "Griffin's first BAN Kalista is very good. He'll definitely have a very fierce jungler to pave the way. Let's see what jungler Tarzan will pick."
On the red side, the second lock was Bloom. Since the other side had released Lucian, this perfect support for Lucian had to be taken down first. As for Lucian, he could be put on the third hand.
SKT's second choice was given to Ice Lady. Li Ge's slave thought that as long as he could win, he did not care if he was a slacker or not.
The blue side did not hesitate to lock Ox-Head and Dao Mei.
"Dao Mei, this is the hero that Chovy is very good at. However, this was the first time it was brought out in the Spring Season. After the Kespa Cup, it hasn't been used again. Let's see how good it is. After all, the two Lis from SKT are very good at this hero."
Attitude: "Actually, after the buff of Conqueror, Dao Mei's lane has been greatly strengthened. The top lane is too long, and he can keep on attacking. With Dao Mei stacked with passive abilities, it's hard to beat him."
Eleven: "But this Dao Mei will definitely be picked by Chovy. Sword almost never uses this hero. Ox-Head and Kalista in the bottom lane, the Spear of Vengeance will definitely attack in the mid and early stages. Tarzan will definitely pick a fierce jungler. This bottom lane will be advantageous for him."
SKT's third choice was Lucian. If they did not pick this hero, they would definitely be banned in the second round.
Attitude: "This team looks very confident. The heroes they picked were not particularly strong in this version. However, the first three heroes they picked for SKT are very solid."
"Griffin dared to play like this, he must know that the other side will take Lucian Gabron. The bottom lane of this game will definitely be very bloody."
In the second round of BP, the red team first banned Piggy. Griffin was only left with a jungler. Sword's hero was enough to ban Jess. Of course, they had to target the jungler.
Of course, the combination of Piggy Girl and Piggy Girl had to be respected. Piggy Girl was Tarzan's signature hero, and Dagger Girl was one of the few heroes who could easily gank Piggy Girl in the early stages of the game.
The blue team backhandedly banned Incubus, also targeting the jungler position.
Attitude: "Griffin took the initiative to ban Tarzan's Incubus in the last round. Is he trying to push forward the start of the game?"
Eleven: "Could it be that he wants to pick Olaf or Rexil? Olaf's gank ability is not that strong. Rexil can coordinate with Ox-Head and Kalista. "
SKT's last move was to ban Rexil. The blue team's last move was to ban Sword Magician.
The red team locked onto Prince first. This was the only hero left in the jungler who was stronger than Ice Maiden in tandem.
Griffin directly banned Urgot from the blue team.
Attitude: "Sword is going to continue using Urgot. He even banned the opponent's Sword Magician. As the other side has not chosen a top laner, Griffin continued to use Urgot, a jack of all trades."
Eleven: "It's like a blind pick. The opponent's laner did not light up. I picked Urgot for you to counter. However, this hero is not suitable for this version of the game anymore."
Attitude: "Now, not only has his tank been reduced, the increase in mana consumption is even more fatal for Urgot. We saw it in the last round as well. Urgot's Mana Belt and Biscuit are still frequently lacking in mana."
Attitude: "If it was the previous version, Griffin would definitely have picked Cheyenne for Sword to counter. However, in this version of the game, it is rare to see a top laner Cheyenne."
Attitude: "That's right. The current Conquerors are too strong. The top laners are all Conquerors killing kings. Choosing Cheyenne is for the opponent to stack Conquerors."
The blue team's last jungler choice was finally revealed. It was Spider Queen Elise.
Attitude: "The ancestor of Hunger Strike, Spider. Even without the support of equipment, this hero can still deal decent damage in the early game. Together with their bottom laner combination, it means one thing: I will definitely destroy you in the early game."
Eleven: "Tarzan is going all out. This is a true early game jungler. Without an advantage in the early game, this hero is useless in the late game."
SKT's last pick was revealed Kenji. Then, it was changed to Olaf. They did not choose to ban.
Attitude: "Could it be the top laner Olaf? However, I feel that Kenji is more stable. Moreover, in the late game, Kenji's solo laner will not be able to control the opponent. Kenji is also not very afraid of Spider's gank. "
In SKT's team voice chat, Coach Kim Jong Un sought Li Xu's opinion. "Li Xu, which hero do you think is better for this round? We need you to deal some damage."
Li Xu was very confident. "Tauren, Kalista, and Spider clearly want to stay in the bottom lane. They want Urgot to tank the pressure. In this round, you guys tank the pressure in the bottom lane. I'll bomb their top lane."
"You want to take Vayne?" Li Ge guessed Li Xu's intention. He wanted to suppress the enemy in the top lane. Li Xu liked unconventional top laners.
"No, I want to take Yodeljes."
"Yodeljes?" His teammates were stunned. What kind of hero was this?
"Little Pao, give me Little Pao."
In the end, SKT chose to ban Trystana. The audience was shocked.
