Ze Yuan: "Wow! This pre-match interview is too explosive. Li Xu wants to be the strongest top laner, but why did he insist that it's only for one day? "
Shu Yi: "Didn't Li Xu say that it's a secret?"
Ze Yuan: "Li Xu's answer is really flirtatious. He said a lot in the beginning, and under the expectant gaze of the host, Li Xu suddenly smiled and said the word 'secret'. I think the host wants to beat him up."
Corgi: "That one-day restriction is meaningless. He and Theshy are already considered to be the two best top laners. Whoever wins today's head-on battle will still be able to hold the title of the strongest top laner until they're defeated in the next battle."
Ze Yuan: "Actually, in our evaluation of players, it's hard to define who is the strongest because of their different styles. However, these two are undoubtedly the two strongest players in the lane."
In the midst of the intense discussion between the hosts, both teams finished their simple adjustments and started the BP.
The blue team, SKT, was the first to be banned, while the red team, IG.
SKT banned Youmi from the start. Although Youmi was strong, it was the exact opposite of SKT's style. SKT did not need Youmi's help.
The red team, IG, backhanded Karma.
Ze Yuan: "Sure enough, Karma was banned. In the two days of the Intercontinental Championship, this hero was only released yesterday when the Vietnamese bro fought against DWG. In all the other matches, Karma was banned by the red team."
Shu Yi: "Yes, yesterday there was a player who wanted to pick Urgot to fight Karma, and he was knocked unconscious."
Corgi: "Everyone knows that this hero is very strong now. Even though there is a lack of proof, because Karma has a 100% ban rate in LCK's competition, it doesn't take a genius to know that this hero is very suitable for LCK's team. It can also swing between three lines. IG will definitely not let it go casually."
SKT's second BAN was given to Olaf.
Ze Yuan: "Olaf is also one of the best players in our LPL division. Since the start of the summer competition, Olaf has only entered the top three in our LPL for ban rate. The other divisions are not very inclined towards this jungler."
Corgi: "Indeed, Olaf is more extreme. If he can't kill the opponent in the early stages, it will be more awkward later on. His style is more suitable for the LPL division."
On the red side, IG gave the second BAN to Pig Girl. IG's first two hands were given to very strong heroes.
Even though Clid almost never played Piggy Girl in the competition, his RANK record was too intimidating. Piggy Girl's win rate was very high, and his opponents would be wary of him just by looking at his record.
However, his Piggy Girl was a little green. Once Clid's Piggy Girl appeared in the training match, Li Xu basically had to start a 1v2.
Seeing that Pig Sis was banned, SKT placed Dusk in the banned position.
Ze Yuan: "Xia? SKT took the initiative to ban the first Dusk. They don't want to give IG a strong bottom lane. Bringing Dusk out is a must. Is SKT trying to resist the pressure in the bottom lane? Or are they trying to open up a situation in the bottom lane? "
Corgi: "It's hard to say now. It depends on SKT's choice of players. Banning Dusk is definitely because they don't want the opposing team to be too strong in the bottom lane. Could it be that SKT wants to protect the bottom lane?"
Seeing that SKT's third BAN player was chosen, IG hesitated for a long time. In the end, they chose to ban Tam.
Ze Yuan: "Tam! IG chose to ban Tam! Obviously, they felt that SKT's main laner and jungler would be able to resist the pressure in the bottom lane. Therefore, they chose to ban Tam, SKT's most used hero this season.
But here's the problem. Now that Dao Mei has been released, will SKT take it?
Although we know that Li Xu's Dao Mei is strong, he hasn't used it many times. That's why IG chose to release Dao Mei when Pig Sis was banned. They don't think that Dao Mei is worth worrying about without Pig Sis. "
Corgi: "Yes, Tam is SKT's most used hero this season. His win rate is also very scary. From Tam and EZ to Tam and Verus, SKT is very good at pairing up with Tam in the bottom lane. IG chose to ban Tam."
Shu Yi: "Will we have a chance to see Li Xu's Dao Mei this way? The scene of Li Xu's Dao Mei's antics on MSI is still being played over and over again on all the major video sites. "
Ze Yuan: "But is it really okay for IG to release Dao Mei so casually? Let's see if IG is being arrogant or if they really have a strategy. "
SKT did not expect Dao Mei to be released either. Initially, Jin Zhengxun did not want to give way to Teddy and Mata in the bottom lane. Instead, he wanted to use Kalista to suppress the top lane.
This gave Jin Zhengxun a difficult problem. He originally wanted to snatch Titan and coordinate with Kalista to attack.
Jin Zhengxun turned to look at Li Xu. "Li Xu, is it necessary to snatch Dao Mei?"
Li Xu was very confident. "Snatch Dao Mei. The loser's hand will be chopped off."
His teammates: "…"
What was confidence? The smile on Li Xu's face was full of confidence.
After that, Li Xu instantly locked down Dao Mei on the first floor.
If you guys dare to release it, I'll take it.
Dao Mei was indeed a good fit for Li Xu. She had high control and was strong in single lane. She was also sturdy enough and was easy to perform in team battles. She was a huge threat to the C position.
As for the other strong top laners, they were either too clumsy like Crocodile or orphaned by the side lane like Kenji. The AP Kenan was not strong enough in single lane and the AD Kenan was a simpleton in team battles. Vampire was strong in the late game but lame in the early game.
All in all, Dao Mei was a very balanced hero. Although she was not the best in all aspects, she was very suitable for Li Xu.
When Dao Mei locked down, the audience burst into cheers.
"Li Xu, Li Xu, Li Xu."
"Aliyah, Aliyah."
Kim Ji-hyun: "Wow! Contestant Li Xu got Aliyah. The audience is very excited. To be able to see Contestant Li Xu's Dao Mei live again is indeed something to be happy about."
Park Ji-hwan: "With Piggy banned, and with so many strong heroes in the current version, SKT chose to lock down Dao Mei because they trust Contestant Li Xu. Of course, Dao Mei can also swing to the mid lane."
Kim Ji-hyun: "Before the match, Contestant Li Xu confidently said that he would be the strongest top laner for one day and got Dao Mei as soon as he arrived. I'm looking forward to his performance. However, Contestant Theshy is different from his previous opponents. Will his Aliyah still be as scary as before?"
"Dao Mei is out. Li Xu really doesn't want to play. Xu Ge, go go go go!"
"Brother Shy, you can do it! Bring out your Swordswoman and beat up Swordswoman!"
"Come on, son of a bitch. If you take a step back, it's my loss."
"Xu Ge, I beg you, stop playing with Dao Mei. Give her a chance to live. Do you want Dao Mei to be cut again?"
"A woman who survived countless punches and cuts. Looks like Xu Ge is going to play her to death. Every time Xu Ge shows off Dao Mei, he's forcing his punches to continue."
"Li Xu: Dao Mei is still very strong! Designer: Understood. Continue to cut in the next version. "
"I beg you, stop talking. Be careful of Designer Sima."
