After a short period of debugging, the BP match officially began.
G2 from the blue team started with a BAN, followed by SKT from the red team.
G2 from the blue team started with a BAN on Princes. Li Xu did not know if the BAN player had not studied SKT before, or if they had brought over their BP habits from Europe.
Princes was a very high priority in the European region, and he was very strong in the current version as well. However, he was not Clid's first choice.
SKT from the red team started with a BAN on Zither Lady. In European and American competitions, the duo of Zither Lady and Gem was very impressive.
In the LCS finals that Li Xu watched, TL and C9 both used this combination and defeated their opponents with ease. In the qualifiers a few days ago, this combination also shone brightly.
The Zither Lady's Gem was first used by TSM's second team in the LCS Pro League. The seemingly weak combination of two support players turned out to be surprisingly effective.
Zither Lady's Q skills and passive were very lethal against fragile heroes, but at the same time, she was a very fragile hero and could be easily countered. However, the Gem could make up for Zither Lady's shortcomings and provide her with protection. When this duo reached level six, they had a very strong ability to cooperate with their teammates.
In the later stages of the game, this combination was even more terrifying. Zither Lady's damage was very high, and these two support heroes provided the team with strong healing and protection. The team's ability to sustain was very strong, and in addition to their strong first and second attacks, there was a high margin for error in the later stages of the game.
This combination was similar to the Pansen and Sparrow combination that Griffin used in the finals. They were a bit like a weakened version of the Hunger Strike style. In the early stages of the game, the support would be the first to develop. The difference was that one was very strong in the early and middle stages, while the other was very strong in the later stages.
SKT had also used this combination in the mock competition, but to be honest, the effect was very poor. These two heroes seemed to be natural enemies with SKT. They looked very strong in the hands of others, but when they were used by themselves, it felt wrong.
The blue team's second BAN was given to Gário. After this hero was first brought to the support position by Lehends, he was basically banned every single time. On the other hand, the others often had the opportunity to support Gário.
Whoever used it would know the effects. In any case, everyone agreed that it was good.
SKT's second BAN was given to Death Song. The coaching staff had studied G2's BP. Sometimes, they liked to use Death Song as the core of their lineup. To be honest, the results were not very good, but they still gave him some respect.
The blue team gave the third BAN position to Tam, taking away this support with outstanding protection and support abilities.
Mille: "I banned Tam. SKT used Tam a lot in the Spring Season. SKT used Tam and EZ the most in the Spring Season."
Doll: "Let's see if SKT wants to ban Sareth. If this version of Sareth is released, G2 will most likely snatch him."
Mille said, "If we ban Sareth, Akali will definitely be taken by G2. Otherwise, we won't ban anyone and everyone will take one."
The red team thought for a long time and finally banned Gário and Tam. The opposing team had also banned Gário and Tam, looking like they wanted to attack the bottom lane. It was better to ban the extremely strong early game Excavator.
G2 on the blue team did not hesitate and instantly banned Ryze on the first floor.
Doll: "Ryze? They're going to give Sareth to the opposing team. It seems like G2 has decided to let Ryze fight Sareth. "
Mille: "G2 has a plan. They know that if they snatch Ryze, Faker will definitely take Sareth. Li Ge's Ryze has a reason. They're giving both Akali and Sareth to SKT at the same time and see what SKT chooses."
The red team did not hesitate and chose to ban Sareth first. Although Ryze was good at fighting Sareth, the current version of Sareth was the son of the version. Li Ge and Li Xu were both very good at it.
If they did not want it, they would have to take it down first.
Since Clid's signature Blind Monk G2 did not ban, SKT did not hold back and immediately took out Blind Monk.
Doll: "It's here. Clid's signature hero, G2, has been released. Although Blind Monk only had a 20% win rate in the preliminary round, this hero in Clid's hands has a win rate of over 90% in the Spring Season."
Mille: "Of course, SKT has won too many games. Many of SKT's heroes have a 100% win rate in the Spring Season. However, those who have watched Clid's games should know that in the LPL, his Blind Monk used all kinds of roundhouse kicks to kick back to the opposing team's AD carry."
G2 on the blue team used a backhand to ban Charlo.
Mille: "With Charlo on the bottom lane, it should be the bottom lane combo. However, you can't say for sure what G2's lineup will be."
Doll: "In the finals of LEC, G2 used Charlo as a jungler. They threw Charlo into the middle lane to protect her at all times. Then, Caps and Jankos chose Peck and Morgana as the bottom lane to tank the pressure. They used this strategy that had been used for a long time to defeat the opponent's Gemstone Zither Lady."
Mille: "Charlo on the bottom lane should not be a problem. How can you, Charlo, fight against Blind Monk in the jungle?"
The red team's third player pulled out EZ, and the yellow hair's jinchuriki came online again.
In the second round of BP, the red team still banned Morgana. Jin Zhengxun was still afraid that G2 would not play by the rules and really let Charlo go jungler while Morgana was the bottom lane to tank the pressure.
Although he felt that Blind Monk would be easy to fight, SKT's members had never encountered such a situation before. It was hard to say what the specific situation would be. On the contrary, the opponent had practiced such a strange system before, so it was better to just ban them.
The blue team first banned Akali in the second round. This hero was very strong in both Li Ge and Li Xu's hands. If they did not ban her in the first round, there was no need to ban her in the second round.
SKT's last BAN spot was given to Olaf, while G2 sent Burong to the BAN spot. In the Spring Season finals, SKT's EZ and Burong duo played very well in the bottom lane.
SKT chose Titan directly.
Doll: "Oh! Titan, we forgot about this hero. He is the current version's number one support. This hero has a very high winning rate in the finals. "
Mille: "The main reason is that both teams' BPs are very specific to the players. MATA almost never plays Titan."
On the blue team, G2 chose Dao Mei, but did not lock her down. At the last moment, they switched to Jayce.
Doll: "Dao Mei is fine, why not? Pigsy is outside too. The combination of Dao Mei and Pigsy is very strong. "
Mille: "G2 might have considered the possibility of Pigsy not being able to fight Blind Monk. If they chose Dao Mei, Li Xu might end up pulling out Kenji or other heroes, it would be very difficult to fight them. Taking Jayce first would not be a problem."
Doll: "It's like this. Also, look, G2's three choices are all advantageous in the lane. Let's see what jungler they pick in the end."
After Jayce, the blue team chose Spider, and the pace of the early game suddenly accelerated.
SKT did not hesitate at all on the red team, and chose Dao Mei in the end.
"Fight for The Newborn Land."
