On the spectator screen, the training match had entered the loading stage. The lineups of both blue and purple teams were clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.
On the blue team's side, Team God's lineup wasn't much of a surprise.
"Top lane Gnar and mid lane Sindera. They're both strong laners in the current version."
In the training room, the players from the other divisions gave their comments. Many of the players beside them nodded in agreement.
There was nothing wrong with Team God's choice of top lane and mid lane.
Gnar, who was in the top lane, had a strong position in the OP in the current version. He had a lot of room to perform both in lane battles and team battles. As for the Dark Prime Sindera in the middle lane, it was enough to arouse everyone's anticipation.
Morning Star's mid lane, Sindera.
One had to know that the King of Darkness had always been extremely powerful in this version of the competition. For the top professional mid laners in the various divisions, there was no one who did not use this hero. As the number one mid laner in the LPL, Morning Star was no exception.
But since everyone knew how to use it, there was still a clear difference in skill level.
In the hands of a top-notch mid-laner like Morning Star, Sindera would definitely be stronger than ordinary first-rate professional players.
"Bottom lane … Looks like this Snowy Nightsong is looking to fight the opponent."
At the same time, there were also people who paid attention to the bottom lane.
Obama and Hammerstone were two opposing heroes in the official story of LoL. However, if they were to be partners in a match, they would possess unparalleled offensive capabilities. If Hammerstone's hook was accurate, he might even be able to cooperate with Obama to complete a lane kill.
Just look at the summoner skill 'Ignite' that the support of Team God used. It was obvious that it was full of killing intent.
Speaking of which, the purple team SSK did a good job in dealing with the bottom lane. Eich's DPS wasn't weak after she leveled up a bit, and her support, Tauren, was able to provide good protection for the Frost Archers who didn't have movement skills.
It could be said that the two teams in the bottom lane had a 50% chance of winning.
As for how the fight would turn out, it would depend on the mechanics of both players.
But speaking of which, not every hero in Team God's lineup was within everyone's expectations.
At least.
The jungler position was a little unexpected.
"Olaf?"
In the corridor outside the training room, the film crews of various esports media were also surrounding several electronic spectator screens to watch the match in real time. Looking at the position of the blue team's jungler, a European esports media host couldn't help but frown. He was a little puzzled.
"This move … doesn't seem like God's style."
As a professional host of a European esports media company, he had previously served as an analyst for a second-tier team in the European LCS region. Coby, a veteran esports player in his thirties, was very familiar with the situation of the players in the various regions. Thus, he was able to identify Olaf's problem with a single glance.
"Team God's playstyle has always been to use the two C positions in the middle and bottom lane as the core of their offense. Their top laner and jungler are slightly weaker, so they tend to be more conservative when it comes to choosing champions."
"In this year's LPL, Team God's jungler mostly uses Dredge, Nightmare, and other heroes that focus on farming in the early game. It's rare to see him pick an offensive jungler."
Listening to Coby's analysis, many of his peers nodded in agreement. It was indeed the case. Based on their understanding of Team God, Olaf wasn't the type of player they were familiar with from Team God.
At the same time, Mo Sheng and Su Xue couldn't help but discuss among themselves on the electronic spectator screen.
"Sigh, why did they pick Olaf?"
"Yeah. I've never seen Team God use an offensive jungler in the early game. Does he have something else in mind?"
"Maybe … the jungler is going to take the initiative in the early game?" Su Xue speculated uncertainly.
Mo Sheng nodded. His eyes lit up as he looked at the purple team SSK's lineup on the electronic spectator screen.
"But …"
"It looks like there's a chance."
… …
Compared to the blue team God's lineup and hero selection, the purple team SSK's lineup was even more unexpected.
"Nightmare, Vigilant?"
In the first training room, the spectating players in the LPL area were also stunned. Then, Old C, the jungler of the KG team, who had a quick reaction, immediately revealed a look of joy.
"Hey, this is a good early game!"
"The opposing team … has been caught by Team God!"
Indeed.
It seemed like SSK had prepared a lineup for this training match beforehand. Twilight Eye and Jungler were the top laner and jungler, so it was obvious that they were going to use a full map support strategy. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Nightmare's Level 6 ultimate skill was a full-screen grab.
Vigilant was a Level 6 combination attack.
Whether it was the mid lane or the bottom lane, it could instantly turn into a 3v2 or 4v2 situation, relying on the numerical advantage.
But at the same time … this kind of lineup had its drawbacks.
Since players who had reached Level 6 could use such a powerful skill, SSK's solo and jungler would have to pay a corresponding price for this skill.
Twilight Eye, who was a top laner, was not strong enough in the lane. Originally, with Wolf's individual strength, if he chose a stronger top laner, God's top laner would probably be under a lot of pressure. But now … Nall was playing cautiously, so the former should have the upper hand in the lane.
The same principle applied to junglers.
You're an Eternal Nightmare. Even if you learn an ultimate skill after you reach Level 6, you'll still be able to kill almost everyone. However, before you reach Level 6, your gank ability is almost zero. Not to mention, if you encounter Olaf in the jungle, you'll be completely destroyed.
So when the LPL players saw the purple team SSK's lineup, they couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
Judging from this lineup, there seemed to be a lot of hope for the BAN pick.
Nian Thirteen, who had been staying at his own club, had slipped over to Lin Feng's side.
"Hey, looks like there's a chance!"
"SSK's BAN pick is giving us a lot of opportunities!"
His tone carried a hint of excitement and joy that couldn't be contained.
Lin Feng looked at the purple team's lineup and nodded slowly.
"Yeah."
"Let's see what happens in the first six minutes."
"If they can do it in the first six minutes, we'll have half a chance."
At the same time, on the other side of the training room, Autumn and Moon, the two Yonko players, came to the same conclusion.
"Six minutes."
"If they can't do it in six minutes, God is done for."
