The match between Team Assassin and Team Crown soon entered the ban phase.
Since both teams had collected a lot of information on their opponents before this, both teams had made a lot of targeted arrangements during this phase.
In reality, it was mainly to counter the core trump cards of both teams.
On Team Assassin's side, Nian Thirteen's jungler heroes were all sent to the ban list: Panther Lady, Olaf, and Gunslinger.
This meant that Team Crown had used all three of their ban rights to restrict the performance of Team Assassin's jungler captain.
That was normal.
Basically, in the current S6 finals, the few popular jungler heroes that could be ranked in the T1 echelon were quite compatible with Nian Thirteen's jungler style. To put it simply, they were all fierce and aggressive types of jungler.
At the same time, the Assassin Squad also quickly returned the favor.
They used all three ban rights to target Blade's ADC position.
Mother Wheel.
Lucian.
And Virtuoso Ember.
This was especially true for Mother Wheel. In the professional match between Team Crown and Team Season, Team Crown's Blade had relied on this hero to suppress his opponent's ADC by more than a hundred attacks in just over twenty minutes.
However, even though they were being targeted like this, the ace players of both teams still had room to shine.
Soon, Team Assassin on the blue team could be seen using Katzk the Mantis for their jungler captain.
Meanwhile, Team Crown on the purple team had chosen their ADC, Policewoman, on the third and fourth floors.
"Old Thirteen and that Blade guy have quite a deep pool of heroes."
Lin Feng commented from the front row of the spectators.
Indeed.
In the current tournament system, although the system of each team having three ban rights could target specific players to a certain extent, if the targeted player had a deep enough pool of heroes, such targeting would not have too much of an impact.
Take Han Shihao, the current leader of the Four Emperors, for example. As the world's number one mid laner, basically any team that encountered Team SSK would give up on targeting him in the ban phase.
Because …
It was useless.
His hero pool was so terrifying that one could not see the bottom.
In this S6 season alone, Han Shihao had chosen more than 15 mid laners for SSK, and no matter what hero he chose, he was able to easily suppress the lane or carry the entire game.
It was a waste to use the ban power on such a heaven-defying existence.
"If you want to target someone, three bans aren't enough," Li Shiyi chimed in.
Number Five first agreed with Lin Feng and Li Shiyi's assessment.
"It's indeed not enough."
"However …"
At this point, Number Five paused, then smiled and added.
"If it's almost soon, it should be in the new season next year. There should be a new tournament setting with five bans."
When Lin Feng and the others heard him, they were stupefied.
Five bans.
Lin Feng was the first to react.
"Sigh."
"Five bans on each side?"
Number Five smiled and nodded.
Ceng Rui, who was next to him, sucked in a breath of cold air. "That's a huge change."
None of them doubted the veracity of the information given by Number Five at all. As an honorary consultant of the World Telecommunications Association, he also had sufficient connections with the Fist Corporation officials. The former undoubtedly had access to a lot of firsthand information that ordinary people could not easily obtain.
Li Shiyi's expression was solemn.
"If there are five bans, then it will be even more difficult to choose a ban in the future."
An Xin chimed in, "The intensity of targeting will also more than double."
Indeed.
Three bans might not be much, but if the number increased to five, it was almost equivalent to a qualitative change. For example, no matter how deep a pro player's hero pool was, there were often only four or five strong heroes in the game. If one of the two teams was determined to target a single position and used all five bans, it would be equivalent to directly targeting a single position.
That was equivalent to directly targeting a single position.
Even if you had a deep hero pool, you would still only be able to pick a T2 or T3 hero. That way, your own strength would also be limited, and you might only be able to perform at 70% -80%.
"Wouldn't it be even more interesting if all ten bans were used on a single position?"
Someone commented with great interest. In return, the other people beside him rolled their eyes at him.
"How can you be so brainless?"
"The coaches of the other teams aren't idiots, alright?"
"Five bans is already a lot."
Indeed, if it was ten bans, then there really wouldn't be any room for survival.
While everyone was discussing, Su Xue didn't say a word. She simply listened in, her eyes darting back and forth. When Number Five noticed her expression, he couldn't help but shake his head with a helpless smile.
"Ah Xue."
"Let's keep this a secret for now."
Lin Feng and the others were stunned for a moment, but they quickly regained their composure and turned to look at Su Xue. Su Xue's face reddened in embarrassment, as if she had been exposed.
"Ah, is that so?"
"Alright, alright. I'll just listen."
She couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret in her voice.
If this information could be used as material for news, she'd be able to make another wave of profit.
The match between the blue and purple teams quickly came to an end.
The lineups of both teams had been confirmed.
On the purple team's side, the bottom lane consisted of Policewoman and the support Ox-Head. They had the ability to suppress their opponents in the lane.
Lin Feng suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Number Five.
"Oh, right, Dancing Dance, Ol 'Ye also played Policewoman in the training match against Inx. She carried the entire team in the last round."
Number Five smiled as he listened.
"Mhm."
"I know."
"When the previous match ended, God's Team Leader Zhang immediately sent me a short video of the team battle that he took with his mobile phone."
"It's pretty good."
Speaking of which, during the three LPL teams training in China, the specially hired coach No.5 had also given Huangxue Nightsong a lot of pointers. If that was the case, she could be considered half a "teacher" to the ace ADC of Team God.
"Ye's improvement is obvious."
At this point, Number Five looked towards the direction of the purple Crown battle team. She raised her eyebrows slightly, but her expression remained calm.
"It's rare for someone to be able to suppress him in a lane."
"That's another reason why I wanted to see Bullet's disciple."
