Today's match was being broadcasted by Remember and Corgi in Huya's live broadcast room.
Remember: "It's here. Both teams have entered the arena. Now, other than LCK, the other divisions are looking forward to seeing a team that can defeat SKT. Let's see what kind of strategy can defeat SKT."
Corgi: "Yes. If SKT in the Spring Season looked like they could be defeated, then SKT in the Summer Season this year is terrifying. They can win with any kind of lineup. They can operate well and are not afraid of fast-paced fights. As commentators, we can feel the despair of their opponents."
"The key is that the entire SKT team is brimming with confidence. This is a very scary thing. Just like what Li Xu said, as long as they sit in the competition booth, they feel that they will win. Even if they are ten thousand behind in terms of finances, they do not think that they will lose."
"Confidence? I, Xu Ge, don't lack confidence. He is just short of writing it on his face. "
"How dare someone without confidence say that he will dominate all the other teams?"
"I used to think that Guapi was already very arrogant. Now that Li Xu is here, I know what arrogance is."
"It's not easy for our old captain. I'll just lend a hand."
… ….
After sitting in the competition booth, the BP began.
HLE, Blue first, BAN first, SKT, Red.
As soon as the game started, the blue team immediately banned Tam. In the current version, Tam was already very strong. Unless the blue team wanted to snatch him, the opponent would not usually give this hero to SKT.
After all, Tam was SKT's most used hero this season. SKT liked to play in the top half of the map. Choosing Tam, whether it was paired with EZ, Verus, or Mother of Wheels, would make the bottom half of the map much easier.
The Red Team turned around and banned Youmi.
Corgi: "Kitty got banned again. SKT really doesn't like this hero. They always ban Kitty without saying anything. They don't give it to their opponents and don't even use it themselves."
Remember: "Actually, Little Key doesn't use Kitty as a hero. I don't feel the need to ban Kitty, but SKT still needs to ban it. I'm not targeting you, I'm targeting this hero."
The Blue Team's second BAN killed Karma.
Corgi: "Karma Blue Fang banned it themselves? I feel that there is no need for HLE to ban this. This version of Karma is actually the most suitable for top laners. If SKT is forced to bring up Karma as the top laner, the blue team can target Karma.
Just like what we saw in the previous rounds, Karma is strong now, but once the opponent chooses a strong jungler to forcibly surpass you, Karma can't do anything about it. "
"But Li Xu doesn't like to use Karma. This season, Li Xu is SKT's best carry. Giving him Karma is like breaking one's arm. Even if HLE is released, I don't think SKT will choose Karma."
The red team SKT's second BAN dropped their wine barrel. It was said that bonO's wine barrel was very strong. Of course, this was the result of the coaches' research.
In any case, Li Xu hadn't seen many particularly strong players in the LCK arena. However, he vaguely saw the shadow of a certain Chinese streamer, Beer Man, in the jungler Wine Barrel of a certain team.
The blue team's third BAN dropped their Dao Mei.
Even if she was late, she would definitely be there.
Did you think I forgot to ban Dao Mei? It was impossible.
"Sure enough! Li Xu's Dao Mei is gone again. Li Ge was reportedly complaining during his live stream that Li Xu caused him to not even need to train his Dao Mei. "
Corgi: "SKT's last BAN player should consider Piggy Sis. Han Hua was able to defeat DWG in the previous round mainly because of bonO's Piggy Sis. It's definitely worth a BAN."
"But the red team SKT usually won't ban Piggy Sis. If the blue team snatches Piggy Sis, the red team can counter Piggy Sis. If the blue team doesn't snatch Piggy Sis, SKT can take it themselves."
"Are they really not going to ban Li Xu's Dao Mei?"
"Li Ge's Rank hasn't used Dao Mei for a long time. He said it himself that there's no need to train anymore."
"I just want to know if I can see Xu Ge's Dao Mei in this year's World Championship."
"It's probably going to be difficult. Li Xu's Dao Mei can't be banned. The teams that banned it are all in the highlight reel and get whipped every day."
… ….
SKT's third BAN player chose Princes. They didn't ban Piggy Sis.
Starting the selection process, HLE directly banned Airplane Kutcher from the blue team. The pace of the current version was slower than before. Heroes like Airplane and Tsar were once again popular in the LCK arena.
Airplane, Tsar, Piggy Sis … these classic heroes had a retro feel to them.
SKT chose to ban Piggy Sis and Kesha first.
"Pig Sister and Kesha. SKT's first two moves were very clever. Han Hua's first move was to land a plane, and it was destined that the pace of the game would not be fast. Now that the pace of the game is slow, Kesha's development is still very strong. Most importantly, this hero has a lot of life-saving skills. He's even harder to kill than Xia.
Corgi: "That's right. SKT's Piggy Sis isn't afraid of you using Troll to counter me. Once Han Hua chooses Troll, even if he can counter Piggy Sis in the team battle, Troll's gank ability in the early game is too weak. He can't do much and can only farm alongside Piggy Sis.
If Han Hua's last two picks are still slow, SKT can even use Tsar in the third pick. Everyone can farm together to see who's more powerful in the late game.
Even if Troll can steal Piggy Sis's resistance in the team battle, the fully developed Kesha can deal with the frontline too quickly. SKT didn't choose to use EZ in the bottom lane because they had considered the possibility of Troll being used.
If they just use Kesha, Han Hua won't be able to use Troll. "
He remembered, "Your analysis is simply terrifying! SKT's BP has thought of so many layers? "
Corgi laughed. "Of course, this could be our wishful thinking. They just want to use Piggy Sis and Kesha."
"F * ck! The commentator is awesome. He even analyzed the BP at the back. He's so many layers ahead. "
"That analysis makes sense. SKT didn't even use EZ. Maybe they're guarding against Troll."
"SKT: What the f * ck are you talking about? I just picked two heroes randomly. You're talking nonsense."
"I feel like I'm talking nonsense. But thinking about it, it does make some sense. Han Hua feels like SKT is easy to deal with."
"I think it's possible. Li Ge might really have used Tsar. Tsar is the hero with the most kills by Li Ge."
… ….
HLE's second pick on the blue team was Xia Xia. After thinking for a while, they did not choose Troll for the third pick. Instead, they chose Scorpion, who had a more stable gank.
"Xia Xia? This hero is different from Kesha. Xia Xia was chosen to fight around the bottom half of the map. Han Hua seems to want to increase his speed in the bottom half of the map. Let's see what support he chooses in the second round. Luo will probably be banned. "
Corgi: "Scorpion is the same as Piggy Sis. He can only farm heroes before level 6. There's very little feedback in the early stages. It depends on bono's efficiency after level 6. Scorpion's gank success rate is very important."
The red team SKT's third choice was the support Titan.
