"Welcome back to the live broadcast of the second round between WE and VG," I remember seeing the BP panel displayed on the big screen, and immediately said loudly, "WE chose the blue side for this round, come up and give Braum first.

Got banned!"

After suffering a set of losses, the WE coaching staff finally came to their senses.

The opponent now particularly likes to choose Braum, and frequently uses its powerful level 1 team ability to allow the team to invade the early jungle area, laying an opening advantage for Gu Xing in the jungle position and mastering enough information.

Looking at the several games played by VG after replacing Gu Xing, there is no doubt that the jungler is the absolute core of the team's tactics, and everything is played around him.

Although WE's current coaching staff is of inferior quality, it has one advantage.

Not stubborn.

It can be seen from the ban on male guns in the last round of BP that they decisively blocked characters that they felt could not be solved to avoid repeating the mistakes of LGD in last year's World Championship.

Hongmi still chose to press Bard.

He knows that the WE bottom lane team is not good at strong attacks in the laning phase. Many times, the brother-in-law is allowed to develop alone in the lane, while the support Zero is freed to take the opportunity to roam other lanes to help the team break the game.

In this case, banning the opponent's Bard, who can keep roaming for support, is the best choice.

"WE's second ban slot is given to Qian Jue!" I remember raising my lips, "Virtue's superb performance in the last round is indeed worthy of buying a house for it in the ban slot!"

Su Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Then the question is, WE only has the last blocking position left. The male gunner and the vampire must be released. Is it possible to use grabbing instead of banning?"

In professional leagues that implement the 3ban model, it is easy to encounter situations where there are not enough banned positions.

The blue side where WE is located has the right to choose first and can snatch away the released VG unique hero, making it impossible for the opponent to use it.

"VG doesn't seem to be planning to change the banning strategy. The blocked characters are exactly the same as those on the previous game, and they are still cards..." I remember always focusing on the BP panels of both sides, and constantly explaining the situation to the audience, "WE finally chose to press

Dropping the male gun and having two bans to fight in the jungle shows the pressure Virtue puts on them!"

The noise lingered in the venue!

In the previous three games of VG, Gu Xing won consecutive MVPs and gained a small number of fans.

In addition to his excellent performance, his playing style is highly entertaining.

He easily enters the enemy's jungle area and stirs up trouble. The counter-jungle is extremely fierce, and many viewers just like this.

Gu Xing couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw that the other party had disabled two of his heroes.

"Xiao Gu has a card!" Brother Long looked over and teased, "If you carry for a few more games, will the opponent ban the jungler?"

"Then should I have the right to win?" Gu Xing replied cheerfully, "I can't take two ban seats and still get a C, right?"

Imp was ready to make a move, "I'm sorry, I'm going to be C in this game!"

After Gu Xing came on the court, his MVP numbers remained unchanged.

At the beginning of the summer split, Imp was in pretty good shape, winning 3 round MVPs. Now that he is being caught up by Gu Xing, who has just started playing professionally, it is inevitable that he will feel a sense of crisis.

I am a world champion, do I have to rely on newcomers to take me flying?

In this game, WE used all their ban positions to restrict their jungler, and Imp felt that his opportunity had come.

Ask me when I will return to the top of the MVP rankings in the VG team... today!

"As expected, VG finally blocked Mysti's Sivir, preventing the opponent from getting a shooter with stable wave clearing ability, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble for them to advance their advantage!"

Unless you face minions blessed by the Baron BUFF, there is no army line that Sivir cannot clear.

Moreover, when she has three or four pieces of equipment, she can use her W [Ejection] to attack the front row to reduce a large amount of HP in the C position of the opponent's back row. If she is not careful, she may cause huge area damage.

Redmi will naturally not give it to WE who are very good at Sivir's system.

The ban on both sides has come to an end, and it is WE's turn to choose the character first.

Su Xiaoyan thought that the script would proceed as she expected, and the vampire would be taken down by grabbing the ban.

But WE didn’t choose that!

"Rexai!" I remember his voice was high and powerful, "Then the vampire will be released to VG!"

Su Xiaoyan responded quickly, "WE has placed its bet on Kandi. After grabbing the excavator, Virtue's hero pool is now very restricted. They have to strive to break through from the jungle to gain an advantage!"

The characters Gu Xing used in the previous three rounds were either banned or snatched by his opponents.

There is no doubt that he will face more severe challenges!

There was a commotion in the live event room.

【WE are you starting again?】

[I really don’t talk about martial arts. Ban + grab will take down three junglers from the opposite side. Is this so targeted at newcomers? 】

[What's the matter, do you still have a protection period as a newcomer? Who among you has not been abused?]

[Chief, the main reason is that I don’t want Virtue to win the MVP again, otherwise it would be too shameful]

Hongmi is not too worried.

He knew that the three roles could not restrict Gu Xing at all!

After hearing the head coach's selection decision, Kim Moon Hyuk translated the meaning to the players.

I remember seeing the first two choices of VG, I was not surprised by this, "Trolls and Vampires... Thanks to WE's focus on junglers, VG was able to select very strong versions of single-line heroes!"

WE directly took Ice and Thresh with their backhand, which obviously suffered from the weak laning of the duo in the previous set. In this set, we planned to use a combination with high enough laning strength.

"This ice hand is very particular," I remember saying my understanding with a bit of praise mixed in the voice, "If Ashe clicks E [Eagle Strikes the Sky] at the second level, she can accurately lock Virtue's position in the early stage!"

Su Xiaoyan echoed, "Indeed, through the previous three games, we can probably guess the general idea of ​​​​the Virtue players in the early stage..."

"He will not give up any small advantage in the early stage, either to counter-invade the jungle, or to open up the situation for the team directly through online raids," Su Xiaoyan said eloquently, "In this case, Eagle Strike in the Sky will be a huge advantage to him.

The restrictions will be very severe!”

This is the countermeasure that WE researched during the break.

Block the heroes that Gu Xing is good at, and then choose a character that has a certain restrictive effect on the enemy jungler in the early stage.

Two flowers bloomed, leaving him with nothing to do.

Gu Xing sat on his gaming chair, took a sip of the iced Coke in the paper cup, and heard Jin Wenhe translating the coach's words.

"The last counter position is for you. After the opponent's lineup is completely determined, choose a suitable jungle hero."

Counter means restraint. In the league, it generally refers to selecting heroes later. It can make targeted selections after all enemy heroes are locked.

Naturally, Hongmi will not let the opponent restrict Gu Xing at will. A backhand counter position can solve many problems and make its players more comfortable in the game.

"VG showed off their bottom lane combination...Calista and Bullhead!"

The Dualista itself is very strong, and Imp is also very good at using skateboard shoes.

Since WE chose a strong combination like Ice + Thresh, Hongmi believes that it has to be more aggressive in the lane to completely overwhelm the opponent.

Imp once again used its favorite hero Kalista, showing an excited smile and gearing up to educate the two Korean compatriots on the opposite side.

After careful consideration, WE finally chose Enchantress and Ike.

"957 is going to have to resist pressure again in this game..." Su Xiaoyan sighed imperceptibly. Seeing the lane roles of the top laners on both sides, she knew what the outcome would be.

The last game of 957 was very uncomfortable, and a lot of blood was consumed in the early stage.

After that, the junglers from both sides came to help, but it did not relieve his pressure on the line.

Until the end, 957 did not get any benefits from Brother Long.

There is no way, the troll's dueling ability is ridiculously strong.

"In the middle of both sides, the enchantress fights the vampire. The problem is that the mid laners of both sides cannot clear their troops in the early stage..."

However, LeBlanc has a slight advantage in this regard.

As the level of W [Shadow's Trace] increases, the Enchantress with the blue buff around level 7 will be able to clear the line stably.

The vampire's troop clearing efficiency is lower, and the early damage of E [Tide of Blood] is very low and the cooldown is long.

The characteristic of his laning is that he can constantly exchange blood with the opponent. Anyway, as long as there is an enemy line near the vampire, the blood volume will come back sooner or later.

Hongmi glanced at the opponent's lineup and told Gu Xing her decision, "Take Elise. Just try to capture two more laners in the early stage so that the vampire in the mid lane can develop."

Xiao Duan saw that his jungler had no objection, so he locked the hero on the 5th floor.

"Spider Queen Elise!" I remember looking forward to it, "Virtue will regain its rhythm jungle this game!"

Su Xiaoyan put forward her own idea, "But it would be better for Spider to pair up with a mid laner who can push the lane and accompany her to roam for support... VG's mid laner in this game is a vampire, and it obviously does not meet this condition."

"And for Virtue, it's a bit difficult to cooperate online."

Except for the dual Lista in the bottom lane who has strong control ability, VG has no stable hard control in the middle and top.

In Su Xiaoyan's view, the spider selected by VG does not match the lineup.

"The selection does not necessarily have to capture someone," remember to explain to your partner. "It is also a good idea to use the spider's super high combat power in the early stage to let Virtue protect his teammates, and then hand over the stage to the vampire in the mid-term."

Players from both sides exchange heroes, and the complete lineup is presented to the audience!

Blue team WE: top laner Ekko, jungler Rek'Sai, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane Ice + Thresh.

Red side VG: top lane troll, jungle spider, mid lane vampire, bottom lane Kalista + Bullhead.
