In today's competition, SKT had the priority to choose sides. In the first three to five rounds, SKT chose the blue side. In the first round, SKT chose the blue side. There were too many strong heroes in this version, so the pressure on the blue side was less.
In the first round, SKT chose the blue side, BAN first, and TL chose the red side.
SKT chose to BAN Tariq first. As the leader of the North American division, the birthplace of the Gemstone Zither Girl system, TL's Gemstone Zither Girl was quite good. It was much more reliable than G2's half-baked Gemstone Zither Girl.
The red side immediately BANNED Dao Mei. G2 had used its stubbornness to prove that Li Xu's Dao Mei could not be BANNED.
SKT's second BAN was given to Gário. Of course, it was not Gário who BANNED Jian Huang. Both BANS were aimed at CoreJJ who was in the support position.
TL's second BAN was given to Akali. This hero still maintained a 100% BP rate.
The blue side sent Bron to the BAN position. The first three BANS were all on the support heroes.
Mille: "SKT is targeting CoreJJ. Three BANS on the support without any consideration."
Ze Yuan: "This is an old rival. Everyone knows that. SKT thinks that CoreJJ is the biggest threat, so they are targeting the support BAN."
Meiko: "It can be seen from the previous matches that CoreJJ is indeed very important to this TL team. The match against IG two days ago made IG suffer enough."
The red side sent Jess to the BAN position. This hero was almost entirely taken up by the red side in this MSI.
SKT did not hesitate to BAN Princes on the first floor.
Mille: "SKT's second BAN on Princes is a substitute for a BAN. Clid's signature Blind Monk is outside, and Rekser may have a higher priority, but SKT's first BAN is Princes."
Ze Yuan: "Everyone knows the root of the problem. Xmithie's Rekser is not very good. Blind Monk's rhythm is also not very good. He directly snatched Princes. TL is a bit uncomfortable."
Meiko: "Now that SKT's Princes is taken, Xmithie's hero selection may lack offensive ability. Pigsy, Scorpion, and other heroes can still be taken. Rekser's previous heroes were really bad."
The red side first locked Verus, followed by TL's second lock on Tam.
Ze Yuan: "TL directly chose the bottom lane combo. Burong was BANNED, so TL took out Tam, who has stronger defensive ability. Although he is not as good as Burong, Verus has crowd-control ability."
Mille: "But to be honest, I don't think it's a good choice to give the task of starting a team in the bottom lane to an AD. It's better to give it to a hero like Kesha."
Ze Yuan: "But this Tam is CoreJJ's specialty. He trained his signature in three stars. Just cover up his ID and treat him as Verus from Chi Di."
Meiko: "Didn't CoreJJ say before the season? He went to North America for his senior. "
Mille: "Aiya! Of course, he had to say that! Otherwise, we won't be teammates anymore?
You're like Bang, right? Aphromoo helped me a lot, and we'll always be good brothers.
But he might not think so in his heart. "
Ze Yuan smiled and said, "Although he went shopping, sold me, and didn't start a team, he's still a good support."
"These two commentators are fighting, 23333."
"That's true, Bang is going to cry because of that support, and he still says that support is good, I'm dying of laughter."
"Bang: My support is very good, we're good brothers, 23333."
"Ahaha! It's not only our domestic players who know how to say such things. "

The blue side directly locked Charlo with two or three hands. This couple was still very strong when they played together.
Charlo was also very easy to match up with in the first round. She had DPS and team control, and her survivability was strong. Charlo was not like many AD players who had obvious fatigue periods, and she could provide good DPS in the early, middle, and late stages.
The red side's third hand directly locked Scorpion.
Mille: "Sure enough, TL chose Scorpion over Raxmithie and Blind Monk. SKT knew that Xmithie's Raxmithie's Raxmithie's proficiency is not enough."
Ze Yuan: "For the first three hands, TL moved the three-star lineup over. Tam, Verus, and Master An's Scorpion. Looks like TL really did play a lot of training matches with GEN G."
Mille: "In the last round against IG, the combination of TL's Scorpion and Galax became TL's winning weapon. Let's see if they can still perform miraculously today."
In the second round of BP, the red side first blocked Lefran to reduce the pressure on Jian Huang in the middle lane. If TL wanted to win, the middle lane must not be blown up. Every time Jian Huang blew up, TL's two flanks were easily broken through.
The blue side backhandedly blocked Kenan. This was a hero who could create miracles in team battles, and was very suitable for Da Mu's playstyle.
In the end, the red side sent Nico to the BAN position.
Mille: "TL banned two solo heroes again. They want to create a good lane environment for their mid and top laners."
Ze Yuan: "Now in the top laner food chain, Centaur's father has all been banned. Now that the Centaur on the field is very strong, let's see if Centaur will come out."
The blue side's last BAN was Sareth, who was the last BAN. This was a rare occurrence in this MSI.
In the second round of selection, the red side locked Clockwork first. TL's lineup was destined to be slow.
Generally speaking, most operations teams liked to choose late-game lineups, including SKT most of the time.
The blue side did not hesitate to lock Ryze. In this version where traditional mages were declining, Ryze was still the Lightning Caster.
Ze Yuan: "Li Ge is very confident. After Jian Huang took out Clockwork, he took the initiative to choose Ryze. Because Ryze's hands are short, it won't be so easy to get rid of him."
Immediately after, the blue side's last BAN was Qing Gang Yin.
Ze Yuan: "To be honest, in the current version, Qing Gang Yin's strength in both the top lane and jungler is not high. He can't beat many heroes on the top lane, and the jungler is not fast. The jungler is not good, and the jungler is not good. However, Li Xu still likes to play this hero, and his win rate with Qing Gang Yin is 100%."
Mille: "Qing Gang Yin is destined to be a hero with a very high ceiling, but it is also true that it has a low appearance rate. In this MSI, besides Li Xu, only Ning Wang has taken it out. Although the current version is not strong, Qing Gang Yin and Princes are very strong. Let's see what Da Mu will use."
TL's last PICK was the captain. It seemed that they wanted to leave Da Mu in the top lane and play by themselves.
Ze Yuan: "Da Mu, the captain, was chosen to withstand pressure in the top lane. Da Mu is also an old captain, he has a way to withstand pressure."
Meiko: "I think this loses the meaning of the last PICK. Leave a PICK, and you end up choosing a developing hero."
Ze Yuan: "But your own jungler is Scorpion. At this time, no matter what you choose, he can't beat Qing Gang Yin and Princes in a 2v2. It's better to choose a hero with a strong ability to withstand pressure."
