As they sat in their seats, the BP of the first match began.
SKT on the blue side, JAG on the red side.
SKT first banned Youmi from the blue side. After two days of competition, this hero was very strong in the current version. Many teams liked to use it, but SKT did not like it.
Youmi's unique mechanics seemed to be a highlight, but it was a huge problem for a support. Her vision was too weak. This was why SKT's two supports, MATA and Effort, were not very fond of this hero. The team's playstyle did not require a support that did not even have the ability to see.
JAG on the red side was the first to ban Blind Monk. He was the one who had done well against Clid in the Spring Season and MSI.
SKT backhandedly banned Olaf.
Rita: "Olaf? I've seen many LCK junglers use Olaf before. I don't know what to pick, but there aren't many who ban Olaf in the first round. "
Corgi: "Is SKT trying to use Pigsy as a jungler? Olaf is very good at suppressing Pigsy. From the past two days of competition, Pigsy's BP rate is very high. "
JAG on the red side was the second to ban Pigsy. He seemed to have guessed SKT's plan.
However, Clid was not good at using Pigsy. Although the win rate of Rank was very high, it was not very effective in training matches.
SKT on the blue side was the third to ban Sword Magician.
Corgi: "SKT banned Sword Magician. Looks like Li Xu is not going to use it. Now that Sareth and Akali are outside, let's see what JAG will choose."
Rita: "But Dao Mei is outside too. It's impossible for them to give Dao Mei to Li Xu in the first round, right? Li Xu's Dao Mei was recognized by a strong team in MSI. "
JAG's third to ban Dao Mei. Li Xu's Dao Mei was worthy of respect.
Starting the selection, SKT did not hesitate to ban Akali on the first floor.
Corgi: "Akali, I can see that SKT is determined to win this round. Akali, if you dare, I'll take it. Even if it's mid-top, I can still swing."
Rita: "LCK's current version is 9.11. In the next version, Akali will be nerfed again. Her passive damage will be lowered. With MSI's high win rate, it will be hard for her to remain indifferent.
JAG chose Sareth and Rexxar. Both of them were powerful heroes in the current version.
SKT did not hesitate to pull out Dusk and Prince from the blue side. If Clid did not take down Prince, he would have to consider Scorpion in the next round.
The red team chose Titan as the third player. This support hero was still very strong at the moment.
Corgi: "With Titan as the hero, JAG must be hoping that Titan can set the pace. We can't let Morgana go. Morgana is very good at suppressing Titan in lane and team fights. It's too easy to neutralize Titan's first move."
After picking Titan, JAG immediately banned Luo in the second round of BP. Since Dusk had been given to the opposing team, Luo had to be banned in the second round.
Rita: "JAG's system looks like they want to rush into the opposing team's formation. Should SKT ban heroes like Kesha or Lucian?"
Corgi: "There's also Kalista. Route likes to use this hero."
SKT on the blue side picked Zooey. If there were any heroes in Airplane that SKT was wary of, Grance's Zooey should be one.
Rita: "Ban Zooey? Then there's a high chance that Akali will go up and be used by Li Xu. Akali is not afraid of Zooey in the middle lane. "
Corgi: "Let's see what JAG bans. Morgana is outside, so is Gário. Princes and Akali can easily rush into the opposing team's formation. Gário's destructive power is too great."
JAG on the red side picked Gário. Compared to Morgana, they felt that Gário's combination with Princes and Akali was more destructive.
SKT's final move was to ban Calista.
The second round of selection began. JAG on the red side picked Kesha and went down with Titan.
When it was SKT's turn, they picked Morgana first. The second player was not chosen yet.
Corgi: "As expected, Morgana is chosen. Once this hero is chosen, Titan won't be able to make the first move."
Rita: "Let's see what SKT's mid lane pick. Right now, it looks like … "
Before she could finish, SKT picked LuLu.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Corgi: "Wow! LuLu is a mid laner. How long has it been since Li Ge picked LuLu? "
Rita: "SKT's lineup is rare. Double support Bao Xia."
Corgi: "At the start of this year's Kespa Cup, SKT used a double support lineup. At that time, Li Xu picked Vayne to fight Gário. Let's see what SKT's strategy is today."
Li Xu could hear the crowd's exclamations through his headphones. He smiled.
'You call that a trick? I'll show you more tricks later. '
JAG did not expect SKT to pick LuLu. After hesitating for a while, he picked Sindera.
JAG quickly completed the swap and prepared to pick Sareth to fight Akali in the top lane and Nico to fight LuLu in the middle lane.
However, SKT did not make a move.
Corgi: "Why isn't SKT swapping heroes? Is there a problem with the computer? "
Rita: "There should be a problem. They can't swap heroes in the last twenty seconds. Let's see what the crowd says."
When there were only twenty-three seconds left, SKT completed the swap. It was the only swap.
Li Ge and Li Xu swapped heroes. Li Xu picked Dusk, while Li Ge picked Akali.
The referee felt that something was wrong. He asked if there was a problem with the players' equipment. Jin Zhengxun confirmed that there was no problem with the lineup.
After confirming that there was no problem, the big screen in the stadium showed a comparison of the two lineups.
The crowd was in an uproar.
The caster's camera moved to Li Xu. Li Xu had a confident smile on his face.
He was happy!
Corgi: "Hmm? It's confirmed? He's not looking for the referee? Is Dusk on the top lane? Impossible! "
Rita: "It seems like it's confirmed. The coach is shaking hands. It's really Li Xu's Dusk. What's this?"
Corgi: "He's not treating his opponent as a human. The opponent's jungler is Excavator. Why is Dusk on the top lane?"
Rita: "It's very unexpected. Li Xu picked up Dusk, Akali picked up the middle lane, and the duo picked up the bottom lane as a tool."
Corgi: "Alright! SKT's swinging is very fancy. The opponent won't expect it. However, we still have to see the effect of the dual support. In fact, Li Xu's Vayne picked up the middle lane in the Kespa Cup. You're a little too confident with Dusk. "
"Haha! SKT is doing it too. This is the confidence of a strong team. "
"Is Li Xu's Dusk strong? I know his Little Pao and Vayne are awesome. "
"Don't worry. Xu Ge's Rank Dusk has a 100% win rate. He's much more reliable than his Yasso."
"F * ck! Did playing MSI make the band contagious? SKT is starting to do something. "
"At least G2's Dusk jungler has some logic. What's the point of Dusk on the top lane?"
"Logic my ass. G2 picked up a Healer and Retribution. You're talking logic with me?"
"The ultimate swinging. It'd be weird if you could guess this lineup."
