The BP session will begin soon.
LNG did not hesitate to lock all three banned positions in Su Mo's hero pool.
The first move was to ban the invincible Swordswoman in the opening game.
In the second move, they banned Gwen, who had terrifying dominance at the end of the regular season; in the third move, they thought for a moment and finally chose to ban Weapon Master.
"The idea of banning LNG is very clear!" Miller's voice was high-pitched. "They directly banned all three heroes of player Mo who have performed well recently and have super single-band ability! This is an extremely targeted BP! But everyone knows that for Brother Mo Zi, this is a temporary solution, not the root cause, because his hero pool is too deep."
EDG seems much more relaxed.
The first hand was to ban Jarvan IV, the prince of Demacia.
In the second hand, blind monk Li Qing was banned.
In the third hand, Foego, the Ruined King, was disabled.
· Wawa analyzed: "EDG's response was also very direct! They directly targeted the early rhythm jungle heroes that Tarzan players are best at and that LNG relies on the most! Obviously, EDG also wants to open a hole in the jungle and limit Tarzan's performance!"
"Ezreal!" Miller's eyes lit up. "EDG made a very solid choice! As the blue side's first grab, Ezreal has a strong ability to protect himself in the early and mid-term, and also has good output in the later stage. There is no need to worry about LNG's offensive in the bottom lane!"
"Here it comes! LNG's bottom lane combination!" Watanabe's voice suddenly rose, "Kasa Gallo, this is a very powerful combination both in team-fighting and output! They just want to tell EDG that this one, we are going to fight around the bottom lane!"
EDG chose "Mechanical Pioneer" Victor and "Soullock Warden" Thresh on the second and third floors.
Rita analyzed: "With Thresh and Ezreal, EDG's bottom lane focuses on pulling and backhand. Victor in the middle ensures that the team has a stable late-stage spell core. EDG's lineup is very solid, and they are waiting for LNG to make a move!"
EDG’s fourth move was to ban Senna.
LNG's fifth move disabled Aatrox.
EDG's fifth move, banned Card Master Drizzt.
Miller: "The second round of banning by both sides is still full of games! LNG continues to target the late core of Mo players, and vampires are also banned! EDG banned Senna and cards, limiting LNG's bottom lane choices and the ability to support the whole map in the middle."
"Olav is in the jungle! Ornn is in the top lane!" Wawa said, "LNG's intention is obvious! They want to attack Tarzan's Olaf jungle core, invade in the early stage, and then cooperate with the mid laner Icon's hero pool to gain advantages in the middle and bottom lane! And the top laner Ornn is a pure tank, just to let Ale players resist the pressure! This is a typical tactic of 'sacrifice the top lane to save the bottom lane'!"
EDG was on the last two floors. They chose Evelyn, Embrace of Pain, for jungler Jiejie, and locked Jace for Su Mo!
"Evelynn in the jungle! Jess in the top lane!" Miller's voice suddenly rose, full of incredible excitement. "On EDG's side, Jiejie took out Evelynn! This is a developmental jungler, but the burst damage in the later stage is very scary! As for the top laner, when facing a pure hero like Ornn, Mo player took out... Jess! This , this is completely a textbook level of laning suppression! "
Watman shouted excitedly: "Jace beats Ornn! A lane overlord with long hands, high burst, and fast lane pushing, facing a bulky tank that lacks early damage! LNG wants Ale to resist pressure? Player Mo is going to tell you, I want your tower, your line, and your jungle area!"
Rita's beautiful eyes shone with excitement: "Jace vs. Ornn! This is not only hero restraint, but also the ultimate response to LNG's "sacrifice in the top lane" tactic! EDG has made it clear that even if you leave the top lane alone, Mo player can penetrate the top lane on his own!"
The final lineup is determined:
Blue Square EDG:
LNG:
Top lane: Mountain Hidden Flame·Ornn (Ale)
Jungler: Berserker Olaf (Tarzan)
Mid laner: Unruly Joy Seraphine (Icon)
Marksman: Daughter of the Void·Ka Sha (Light)
Support: Huanling Luo (Crisp)
"The lineups of both sides have been settled!" Miller made the final summary, "E DG has chosen a lineup that focuses on the mid-to-late stage, but has strong online pressure in the middle! Once these three cores are developed, the damage in the later stage will be devastating! And LNG is a lineup that focuses on the early rhythm and mid-term team battles! Olaf, Seraphine, Kai'Sa, Luo, they want to play more control and burst! This is the ultimate showdown between speed and development, early stage and late stage!
Hands from online viewers kept flooding the screen:
【Good guy! Mo Shen took out Jace! How to play this Ornn? 】
【LNG, the BP, made it clear that it wanted to go on the road, but Brother Mo Zi took out an online overlord. This is really heart-breaking! 】
【Tarzan's Olaf must stay in the bottom lane in the early stage, Jiejie's Evelynn...it's a bit of a disadvantage in the jungle confrontation in the early stage. 】
【No matter what his lineup is, if God Mo comes on the field, our EDG will be invincible! 】
【Come on LNG! The dark horse cannot fail! Crush EDG for me! 】
In the expectant eyes of countless viewers, ten heroes loaded into the game and descended on the Summoner's Rift where their fate was about to be decided!
As the system sound of "Welcome to Summoner's Rift" sounded, the first game of this much-anticipated semi-finals officially kicked off.
At the commentator's seat, Miller immediately went into high gear: "Okay, let's start the game! We can see that neither side chose the first-level team invasion, and both started with a regular position. LNG's five-man group, Olaf and Luo stood in the grass in the middle of the river, seeming to protect the jungle, but they may also be looking for the first-level Team opportunity! "
Wawa also followed closely and analyzed: "On EDG's side, Thresh immediately came to the river grass in the lower half of the blue area and inserted his vision to prevent Olaf from stealing the jungle or counter-jungling. The Mo player on the road, Jess, came directly to the lane and had no intention of helping Jiejie in the jungle. He wanted to suppress it immediately!"
The director's camera accurately focused on the intersection of the top lanes.
"Mo's Jace chose a Doran Sword and a bottle of red medicine as his starting outfit. The rune belt was Conqueror, pursuing ultimate damage and continuous combat capabilities. Ale's Ornn went out with a standard Doran Shield." Rita analyzed, "From the starting outfit, we can see that the two men have completely different tasks today."
The game lasted one minute and thirty seconds, and the first wave of troops met.
Hunting against Xiaohu's Jace, Xiaohu's Lucian could still barely withstand the pressure with his long hands and positioning.
But Ale's Ornn, facing a hero like Jace with long hands, high burst, and fast lane push, it is a nightmare start!
Su Mo’s Jace didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately switched to the cannon form and hit Ornn with a flat A point. Then he used his Q skill [Leap of the Sky], accurately hitting Ornn and triggering the passive armor reduction effect!
Immediately afterwards, two rounds of gun form leveled A, directly knocking out Ornn's health by a small square!
Ale's Ornn did not dare to step forward to make up for the damage. He could only stand in the distance, watching Jace easily and freely make up for every minion while constantly suppressing the line of soldiers.
"Mo hit him too hard!" Miller shouted excitedly, "He started suppressing him from the first level! Now if Ornn dares to show his face, he will be beaten by Jace's set of skills!"
Watanabe also lamented: "Ale's Ornn is very uncomfortable now. If he wants to make a last hit, he has to bear the risk of being consumed. Moreover, Jace's ability to push the line is too strong, and Ornn's defense tower may soon be drained of health!"
At the same time, the game in the jungle is also quietly unfolding.
Tarzan's Olaf, after finishing the red buff, did not choose to brush his blue buff. Instead, he directly controlled Olaf and quietly went around the blue buff jungle area of EDG, hoping to counter Jiejie's wild monster!
However, EDG's vision layout has already understood LNG's intentions!
Meiko's Thresh, after helping Viper push the first wave of lanes, did not return to the city immediately. Instead, he came to the river in advance and inserted a real eye into the grass behind the EDG blue buff!
When Tarzan's Olaf walked carefully to the blue buff, his true eye had clearly shown his figure on the mini-map of the EDG players!
"Caught! Tarzan has been seen!" Miller's voice suddenly rose, "Jiejie's Evelyn also guessed Tarzan's movements after defeating the red buff. She directly gave up the blue buff and went to the opponent's lower half of the jungle to counter-crouch! This is a wave of jungle games where you come and I go!"
Jiejie's Evelin, after seeing Tarzan's location on the mini-map, without any hesitation, directly activated the Q skill [Spur of Hatred] and began to clean up Tarzan's stone monsters.
Olav of Tarzan felt his heart sink when he saw this.
His anti-jungle plan was perfectly resolved by EDG!
He had no choice but to give up EDG's blue buff and turned around to brush his own upper half of the jungle. The rhythm was successfully slowed down by EDG.
On the top road, Sumer's Jace has pressed his troops firmly under Ornn's tower.
He even dared to withstand the attack of the defense tower and step forward to consume Ornn's health.
Ale's Ornn, facing this unreasonable Jace, was unable to resist at all, and his health was dangerously suppressed. He could only silently knock down the blood bottle and pray that the jungler would come to help him.
"Jiejie has gained an advantage in the jungle!" Rita analyzed. "After Evelyn got two sets of wild monsters, her level and economy are already ahead of Olaf! Now EDG has full control of the jungle initiative. In the hands of Jiejie! On the road, player Mo suppressed Ale! Jess was already ten times ahead of Ornn! "
The game time came to three minutes, and both junglers reached level three.
Tarzan's Olaf, after clearing the upper half of the jungle, set his sights on the middle without hesitation.
He knows that the top lane is irreversible, and his only hope is to help Icon open up the situation in the middle lane!
Icon's Seraphine, although she was at a disadvantage against Scout's Victor in the early stage, she maintained a healthy blood volume and cooperated with the vision of the grass in the middle to try to seduce Jiejie to Gank.
"Tarzan's Olaf is here! He is moving towards the middle!" Baby's voice suddenly became tense, "Icon's Seraphine is still using Q skills to push the lane, seeming to lure Scout. Come forward! This is a long-planned mid-field linkage by LNG!" In EDG's team voice, Scout's voice was calm and quick: "Olav is in the middle! Jiejie, he is behind me!"
Jiejie’s Evelynn has just gained an advantage in the jungle, but her health is not healthy.
He knew very well that Evelin would not be able to compete head-on with Olaf before she reached level six.
Hence, he did not choose to rush to support the middle lane, but quietly went around to the blue buff jungle area of FPX and countered Tarzan's blue buff.
"Jiejie did not choose to support! He chose to counter Tarzan's blue buff!" Miller said, "This is a bold and rational decision! He knows that Evelynn is very fragile before level 6, and if he rushes to support the middle lane, he is likely to be counter-killed by Olaf. It is better to take the opportunity to counter the opponent's wild monsters and continue to expand the economic advantage!"
When Tarzan's Olaf saw that Jiejie had no support, he rushed out of the grass without hesitation, activated his W skill [Reckless Swing], and rushed towards Scout's Victor's face!
Icon’s Seraphine is also using her Q skill [Treble Starting Tune] and E skill [Beat Continuation] from behind to coordinate the output!
Scout's Victor's health dropped rapidly, and he was forced to hand over Flash and flee down the tower!
"Scout flashed!" Rita exclaimed, "Although LNG didn't get the kill, they successfully forced Scout to flash! This is a very important breakthrough for their mid-jungle linkage!"
However, at the moment when LNG's midfielder retreated, Su Mo's voice sounded calmly in EDG's team voice: "Bot lane, pay attention. After they play the middle lane, they will definitely go to the bottom lane."
RNG has chosen to play the bottom lane, there is no reason why LNG would not play.
His prediction once again accurately hit LNG’s next move!
Tarzan's Olaf, after forcing Scout to flash, did not choose to return to the city. Instead, he directly controlled Olaf and silently went around EDG's bottom lane grass.
Icon’s Seraphine also moved towards the bottom lane after clearing the middle lane.
"LNG is about to take action! They are going to do a classic four-for-two!" Baby's voice suddenly became tense. "Tarzan's Olaf has already circled the triangular grass behind EDG's botton tower! Icon's Seraphine is also approaching the bottom lane! This is a long-planned wave of four-for-two!"
In EDG's bottom lane, the siren sounded instantly!
"They are coming! Jiejie, pay attention to your position!" Meiko's voice was urgent.
"I'm here, I can fight!" Jiejie's Evelyn, after fighting off the wild monsters, had already used her keen sense of smell to arrive at the exploding fruit in her own jungle area on the bottom lane in advance, ready to support at any time.
FPX’s attack has begun!
Crisp's Luo caught the moment when Viper Ezreal stepped forward to hit the target, and used a W skill to try to lift EDG's bottom duo!
However, Meiko's reaction was extremely fast! (End of chapter)
