After sitting in the player seats, the BP began after some simple adjustments.
In the first round, SKT chose the red side as they had the priority to pick sides. The blue side, SPY, was the first to pick.
As soon as the match started, SKY immediately banned Dao Mei, while SKT chose the red side to ban Pansen.
Remember: "In the first round of the best-of-five, both sides did not play any fancy BP. They still chose to ban those who needed to be banned. In this best-of-five, as expected, SPY had to ban Li Xu's Dao Mei in the first round. Pansen is the red side's fixed BAN."
Rita: "We all know that SPY is still far from SKT in terms of strength. Their normal lineup won't stand much of a chance against SKT. Let's see if they have any strange heroes."
The blue side's second BAN was given to Akali.
Wang Duoduo: "As expected, SPY still chose to target Akali. SKT favored this hero very much in the group stage. As long as the opponent didn't ban, SKT would definitely pick Akali in the first round. Although it was always given to Faker, Li Xu on the top lane is also very good at this hero."
Remember: "Although this hero was continuously weakened by punches, his performance in the group stage was still very good. In the hands of an expert, this hero is very strong.
Moreover, the three LCK teams' midlaners are all very good at Akali. This can be considered one of the characteristics of their division.
I believe that everyone still has an impression of DWG's midlaner Showmaker when he faced IG's Akali. As for Chovy, although he picked four utility midlaners in yesterday's match and was eliminated, Akali is definitely his signature hero. "
"Oh ho! Li Ge's Akali is gone, he can happily pick a slacker again. "
"He could have won lying down, why did he stand up and play C?"
"Li Ge should pick up Ice Girl. I haven't seen him in a while, I miss him."
"You don't say, I haven't seen Ice Girl in a while, I miss Li Bingbing."
"Let's be honest, how long has it been since Li Xu picked up Akali?"
… ….
The Red Team's second BAN eliminated Kiana. Although this hero was only good in specific terrains, her ability to control the tempo of the game in the early game was definitely one of the best heroes in the current version.
SPY sent Ryze to the BAN position.
"Oh? Ryze. It seemed like the entire SPY team had studied yesterday's knockout match. Although some of the performances of Ryze in the group stage made it easy for people to underestimate this hero, in yesterday's match, Coin Bro's Ryze was still very strong. FNC was beaten badly by Doinb's Ryze.
Facing Faker, who also has Ryze as one of their signature players, the blue team directly banned him. Although this hero Li Ge hasn't been brought out in this World Championship, I believe that no one will doubt his proficiency with Ryze. "
Rita: "Hey! What are you hinting at? "
"No, don't spout nonsense. Don't tell me that Coin Bro's Ryze didn't go up yesterday?"
Rita: "Then why did you mention Little Tiger?"
"Since when did I mention Little Tiger? Don't lead me astray. "
Rita: "You said it yourself that Ryze's performance in the group stage made people underestimate this hero …"
"Hey! You said it yourself. I didn't say that I was referring to Little Tiger's Ryze. My friends in the audience can testify for me. It was all Rita's words. It has nothing to do with me. "
"F * ck! Wang Laoer tricked Sister Tazi again. "
"Remember, it's the old eunuch. Rita, this silly girl, falls for it every time."
"To be honest, I feel that although RNG's lineup isn't very good, Ryze's 2200 damage output is ridiculous."
"Little Tiger's Ryze in the group stage made my Date Bro suffer. EZ's damage output was more than half. One look at Ryze's 2200 damage output."
"Steak mistakenly believed in Ryze. He thought that Ryze could be the core of the damage output. I guess he's ready to be dismissed."
"Coin Bro's Ryze has the strength of ten tigers. Little Tiger can't be washed away."
"Little Tiger's damage output made the colonel laugh. He almost laughed out loud on the spot."
"Ze Yuan's face changing on the spot when he was commentating. I'm dying of laughter."
… ….
The red team SKT lost three bans to Raytheon. SPY's core was their AD player Kobbe. Once Raytheon was released, the blue team would definitely snatch Raytheon away.
In the current version, Raytheon was definitely the most suitable AD player to surround. Not only was her ability to protect herself and team fight very strong, but she also had very strong lane pushing and fighting skills in the early game. She could help the jungler fight for the resources in the second half of the map.
Seeing that Raytheon was gone, the blue team did not hesitate to pick Kesha.
Remember: "As expected, without Raytheon, Kesha is SPY's best choice. Kobe still likes this kind of traditional AD hero. In the LEC competition, it was Kobe who carried SPY all the way to the international competition."
Wang Duoduo: "It can be said that these two teams have obvious differences in their carry points. SKT is feared because of their top, middle, and jungle, while SPL relies on their bottom lane. Let's see if Kobe can still take over the later stages of the game like before."
On the red team, Li Xu immediately revealed Hammerstone on the first floor, followed by Clid on the second floor and Spider on the second floor.
Remember: "Hammerstone and Spider. The data shows that Hammerstone's BP rate was 70% in the preliminary round, but suddenly dropped to 20% in the group stage.
In other words, Hammerstone was actually abandoned in many strong matchups. Coupled with the strengthening of the robots, Hammerstone is indeed not as good as before. This move shows that SKT is very confident. They want to use the rhythm of the support jungler to control the game. "
Rita: "This Spider pick has to be very active in the early game. It might lean towards the top of the mid game. Will Li Xu pull out Crocodile to coordinate with Spider in the third hand?"
SPY backhandedly picked Wine Barrel and Captain.
In this international competition, Wine Barrel had become a popular hero that was not inferior to Spider. It should be said that Wine Barrel's ability made it a popular hero every year in the international competition.
Compared to Spider's extreme early game aggression, Wine Barrel's jungler was more comprehensive. The powerful ability to divide the battlefield allowed Wine Barrel to forcefully open and protect his teammates. The nuclear bomb flow allowed Wine Barrel to deal decent damage.
Remember: "When SPY saw SKT's Spider pick, they knew that they would not be able to win in the first half of the early game. Hence, they chose a more developmental captain. This dual developmental formation is indeed very strong in the late game. However, SKT's Spider and Hammerstone in the first two hands were clearly meant for offense. Can SPY's formation develop to the point where Captain and Kesha can unleash their full power?"
Wang Duoduo: "No matter what, this is the system that SPY is most familiar with. They played this way in the group stage and in the preliminary round. Even if they were to give them a top laner, it would not be their usual playstyle."
Rita: "Now, the left side has to play defense in the early game, while the right side has to play offense."
Looking at SPY's formation, SKT was clearly more determined to attack. Their third hand was Draven.
SKT's first three hands were Spider, Hammerstone, and Draven. SKT's choice was explosive.
