Today's game was played by the trio of Remember, Xiao Umbrella and Brother Snake as on-field commentators.
Facing the camera, the commentator remembered to warm up and said, "Good friends, welcome to watch the group stage match between EDG and SKT.
EDG's goal is to defend the MSI at home and revive the LPL glory, while SKT wants to avenge EDG and achieve the Grand Slam feat of the World Championship, Mid-Season Cup and regional leagues! No matter who wins today's group stage, both qualifying points and team morale will be greatly improved! "
Brother Snake added, "Yes, you should have seen the performance of edg and skt in the group stage yesterday. They easily swept their opponents. Both teams are currently in a very hot state. It's hard to say who will win this game, but there is no doubt that they will win." Without a doubt, I believe it will be a wonderful battle.”
The guest next to him, Xiao Umbrella, scratched his pants that were a little too big. Before he could answer the call, the live broadcast camera had already switched to the BP interface.
Xiao Umbrella's explanation can still be heard in the background, "Hey! Without further ado, the match BP has already begun. The red team SKT has banned Big Mouth. This should be a hero that Deft has practiced a lot in recent versions."
I remember saying, "Edg took down Ryze. Mika Ryze seems to have mastered it. He played very well in the playoffs. I think he didn't want Faker to grab Ryze first. Hey, he banned Qian Jue in the second move..."
The commentators can't quite understand EDG's BP. Even though Ryze and Kindred are in their hero pool, they are so easily put into the ban box...
But in fact, Abramovich's BP is very simple. Ryze was banned because Faker had used it twice in the previous two group matches and performed well, and Qianjue was banned because Blank had used Qianjue in the first two group matches and set the pace.
This is only the group stage, and they don't need to do in-depth routines. The most important thing is to explore the opponent's hero pool and prepare for the subsequent bo5 knockout rounds. Therefore, BP first bans the heroes that the opponent often uses to test SKT's tactical reserves.
Before the commentator could think of an answer, skt banned Sivir and Ekko on the field, and edg banned Troll.
bp ended quickly.
It can be seen that skt is prepared, and their ban strategy is different from edg, or quite the opposite.
Here, edg bans the opponent's good heroes.
SKT only banned the heroes of Deft and Mouse, but left the mid laner Mika, who played the strongest role in Edg, alone. It neither banned her signature hero Enchantress, nor banned Dragon King, who performed well in the group stage.
Coach Abramovich analyzed, "SKT is giving unlimited trust to Faker, believing that he can defeat the heroes that Mika is good at head-on!"
Mixia nodded to express her understanding, "Well, this bp means that I am still not as strong as Faker."
The factory director thought that Mika was depressed for being slighted, so he quickly comforted him, "Mika, I absolutely believe that you are better than Faker. Didn't you kill him solo with a Murloc last year in the World Championship? You will choose Murloc this round." , kill him alone again."
Mouse, as a die-hard supporter of Mika, also nodded, "Uncle Faker is too arrogant, he will definitely regret it! Mika is the strongest! Mika is the best!"
"Pfft..." Mixia laughed, "Don't brag me like that. Although I think so myself, at least I have to wait until I win the world championship. And I heard that Faker-senpai is very humble. He will definitely not be so arrogant. SKT's BP in this game should be guided by the coaching staff, just like Abramovich, testing the depth..."
As someone who has experienced the parallel world of SKT's Triple Crown, she only said these words because she knew Faker's character well.
But hearing it in the ears of teammates, it had a different meaning.
Mika was ignored by SKT to such an extent. She actually said good things for Faker and explained to SKT that she was too kind and simple!
It’s time for the hero selection phase.
SKT grabbed Leopard Girl.
The commentator has already seen some clues about bp.
Xiao Umbrella said, "Wow! Mika, who was banned the most in the Spring Split and only lost a small game when taken out, was released by SKT! It's just that the game version has changed a lot, I don't know if it is possible for EDG Take it with your hands first.”
The commentator remembers, "Bobby the big tree and the male spearman in the jungle position are all outside. I feel that the priority of Enchantress is not very high, and if it is the first hand to take the mid laner, Mika's Dragon King who appeared in the opening game will also Still out there.”
Mika's thoughts were similar to what she remembered. Since the mid laner released so many heroes, she was not in a hurry to choose.
So immediately after, edg grabbed the big tree and selected the bull head for the assistant.
SKT took Lucian and Tsar again, ADC was won by Bang in the last two games, and Faker's Tsar had the same purpose as theirs in this game - to select the most well-behaved hero and test EDG after getting the assassin in the mid lane. How strong is it?
Abu turned his head, which contained many small thoughts, and grinned, "Hey! Mika, do you want to take the Dragon King? The matchup in clg was pretty good. Or confuse Faker, let's choose Victor to face him. brush!"
Mixia immediately shook her head.
The Tsar is actually the mage hero who can restrain the Dragon King the most. In the early stage, the sand soldiers suppress the push, and in the mid-term, they start a group to bully the Dragon King because of his short legs. In the later stage, he causes high damage.
In the opening game, Huhi, the Dragon King's unique skill brother, knew how to choose the Czar to counter the Dragon King. How could she choose the Dragon King to counter again - unless she was cruel.
As for using Victor to defeat the Tsar, I have been playing the whole MSI for a whole day. Have you seen Victor appear? !
Abu has such a character. He likes to be clever, but he always picks up the sesame seeds and loses the watermelons.
"Coach, I want to take the enchantress!" Of course, Mixia had no interest in explaining. She opened her mouth and begged with watery eyes.
"That...that's okay. If you want to take the Enchantress, you should be confident! I, it's not like I didn't trust you just now, Mika!" Abu nodded quickly and explained.
"Well, I know that Coach Abu is worried about Mika, but I have to choose Enchantress in this round." Mixia replied.
She accepted the challenge set by faker!
edg selected the enchantress and the male gun.
Although it is an LPL foreign war, there are not many fans of Faker in China. In addition, Mika's status as a Japanese aid means that he is indispensable.
The barrage went crazy for a while.
"Mika-chan has a ninety-nine winning rate and the enchantress has finally been chosen!"
"Well, Faker had a 100% winning rate before MSI last year. What's there to brag about with Mika's record..."
"Then, may I ask, which team did Faker lose to with a 100% winning rate?"
"If you lose, Morgana will also lose to Pawn. What does it have to do with Mika? I just remind you, Mika, not to be too happy too early, be careful of overturning."
"Han Chui is in a hurry, he is in a hurry!"
"Haha, Sakura-chan didn't get any results at all, so the filial son came out."
…
The BP on the court continues, and skt’s last two picks are respectively locked in Tahm and Poppy.
The fifth choice of edg will then select the ad mouse for deft to supplement the team battle output.
The entire bp ends.
The skt lineup includes top laner Poppy, jungler Leopard, mid laner Tsar, adc Lucian and support Tahm Kench.
The edg lineup includes top laner Dashu, jungler Lancer, mid laner Enchantress, adc Mouse and auxiliary Niutou.
