SKT from the red team turned around and banned Pansen from the first floor.
Before the rework, Pansen's laning ability was already very strong. After the rework, not only did he retain his laning ability and lane clearing ability, but he also gained an overpowered shield. Coupled with the support of his ultimate and stable crowd control ability, his early gank was extremely overpowered.
During the mock competition, almost all teams realized that this was not a good idea. It did not have high proficiency requirements, and it was easy to snowball the tempo of the game. As long as the red team was not brainless, they would not release it to increase the difficulty of the game.
The current Pansen was very much like the Steel Dude from the S5 era, a proper son of the version. Back then, LGD's Steel Dude had been crushed by Steel Dude, and now, no one wanted to become the second LGD.
FNC from the blue team second-handedly banned Kiana. In this version, Kiana was too good at both mid and jungling.
In the second round, SKT sent the card to the BANNED position.
Doll: "Card Card, looks like SKT's coaching staff has done some research on FNC's game. Card Card is Nemesis's signature, and can be said to be Card Card's Jinchuriki."
Mille: "Also, Card Card restricts the flankers too much. Although Li Xu's awareness is very good, and he rarely dies when caught, Card Card's support range is too wide. It's not something you can avoid just because you have good awareness."
Ze Yuan: "Yes, that's what I wanted to say. The reason why I always praise Li Xu is because he's different from normal top laners.
Normal top laners are either aggressively suppressing their opponents in the lane, or they are mediocre in the middle.
But in Li Jiu's matches, you can clearly see that he plays very aggressively. He's always suppressing the opponent, but he won't give the opponent's jungler a chance to catch him. You rarely see him get caught. His awareness is too good. "
"Tsk tsk! The three stars aren't here, and now the colonel is praising Li Xu? "
"Did he really find an opportunity to praise Xu Ge?"
"It's fine to brag about Li Xu. He's a Chinese after all. His nationality won't be revoked. 233333."
"Xu Ge is a real BUG in the game. Even the Spider and Crocodile combo can't kill him."
"Li Xu isn't afraid of being caught because he killed all the junglers and top laners. 23333."
"I'll kill whoever comes. Who dares to capture him?"
… ….
The blue team's FNC's third BAN killed Crocodile. In this version where the tempo of the early to mid game was very strong, Crocodile was very strong in the early game.
SKT's third move was to ban Sindra.
Although the LCK team was not very interested in Sindera due to its low margin for error, this hero was still very popular in the European region. His combat power in the early, middle, and late stages was very good. As long as the equipment could keep up, the front row might not be able to withstand a set of damage.
The selection process started, and FNC quickly locked onto Youmi.
Ze Yuan: "He's here! Cat locked onto Garen! Cat Garen is here. FNC will definitely take Garen next. FNC brought their usual strategy from LEC to S9's group stage. "
Mille: "During the elimination round of the qualifiers, DWG did the same strategy of Garen and Cat. However, DWG was defeated by LK from Vietnam. Let's see how good FNC's strategy of Garen and Cat are."
Doll: "This strategy of Cat Garen was first used by FNC in the LEC competition. It was really eye-catching. I have to say that the European teams are really good at researching strategies."
Ze Yuan: "We all know that Garen is a tank with strong overall abilities. He has high recovery, damage immunity, and decent damage output. However, due to his short arms and legs, he has always been unable to perform well in a professional competition.
However, Kitty's existence helped Garen overcome his shortcomings. Garen's super thick body also makes him an excellent mount for Kitty. With multiple boosts and Kitty's ultimate skills, Garen's reckless attacks are also simple and violent. The two heroes complement each other perfectly. "
Seeing that his opponent had brought out Cat, Li Xu immediately brought out Garen from the first floor.
Mille: "Garen? That's not possible, right? SKT doesn't have Cat, so why would you bring out Garen? If you just want to destroy Cat Garen, wouldn't you be sacrificing eight thousand of your own men? "
Ze Yuan: "You don't say. Other people might not do it, but Li Xu might. He's the one who dared to bring out Xia. I think it wouldn't be a problem for him to bring out Garen."
SKT's team voice chat.
As Li Xu brought out Garen, he asked, "Coach, why don't I give them Garen? I'll make them fail. "
Jin Zhengxun's hands trembled. "Don't, don't, don't."
Cat Garen is a trick. What's the use of just Garen?
If they can't perform, they can change to an AD. Are you going to use Garen to perform acrobatics?
Li Xu had a confident look on his face. "My Garen is very strong."
Li Ge: "Let's take Akali. Let's see how it goes first."
Even though Akali had been weakened again and again, her mechanics were still there. In the hands of an expert, she was very powerful. It just so happened that SKT was good at this hero.
Jin Zhengxun also thought that Akali was a good choice. Other than SKT's individual strength, the most troublesome thing for their opponents was that they were too unstable.
Hearing that the coach agreed with Li Ge's point of view, Li Xu decisively changed Garen to Akali. He had only brought out Garen to annoy the opponents, so it didn't matter if he didn't get it.
After Akali was brought out, SKT's second floor also brought out Blind Monk, Clid's signature hero.
The blue team, FNC, got Garen as they wished, causing a burst of cheers from the audience.
Then, the blue team's third hero chose Captain.
Mille: "As expected, Li Xu's Garen is just a little mischievous. It'll be fun if he really gets it."
Ze Yuan: "It's not a problem to get Garen. Captain is here to pave the way. Anyway, any hero given to Bwipo will probably be suppressed by Li Xu. It's a good choice for Captain to take it first."
Doll: "You're at it again. The battle hasn't even started and you're saying that everything is suppressed? Is my Bwipo so unimpressive? "
Ze Yuan: "I really think that Bwipo won't be able to gain an advantage no matter what he does. I'm not looking down on Bwipo. Recently, Nuguri has been killing so many people in the European server. It's the same for Li Xu.
Don't think that Niu Bao is a strong player in the European server. He's always a yes-man in front of Li Xu. If you can't gain an advantage in a lane battle, you might as well choose a hero like Captain to develop. You can even support your teammates with big moves. "
"Haha! Ze Yuan is now praising Xu Ge to death. Even as a fan, I'm blushing. "
"There's nothing wrong with that. That iron head Nuguri is being suppressed by Xu Ge time and time again. I don't know why Xu Ge is so against him."
"Praising Xu Ge doesn't count as bragging. Xu Ge said it himself, the first place in the group is in the bag."
"Tsk, tsk! I really want to see Li Xu bring out Garen. The show's effect will be full. "
"Everyone will beat up the rascal cat and he wants to ride on Garen's head to carry?"
"I watched the LEC match. Garen the cat is very shameless."
"He's tanky and his damage is high. His health regeneration is abnormal. A certain ghost commentator said so."
