The first round of selection is over and the second round of ban selection has begun!
The red side DK took the lead and banned Blade Dancer Irelia without hesitation!
"It's Sword Girl again!" The commentator's voice suddenly rose, "They would rather release Syndra, but also continue to block Brother Mozi's hero pool! Ban the top laner! This is the treatment of the world's number one top laner, no mercy!"
The blue side EDG immediately retaliated and sent Lucian, the Paladin Ranger, to the ban position.
This hero's swing ability is too outstanding, and EDG is unwilling to leave any room for DK to make tactical changes.
DK's final ban was given to Syndra - completely cutting off Scout's possibility of using traditional mages.
The last team of EDG aimed at the male gun of the outlaw maniac.
This hero can play in both the top and jungle lanes. EDG obviously does not want to let Khan develop safely in his comfort zone.
With the lineups of both sides finally finalized, the prelude to the battle of the century has officially begun.
Blue square EDG:
Top lane: Flame of the Mountain Hidden - Ornn
Jungler: Prince of Demacia - Jarvan IV
Mid laner: Clockwork Demon - Orianna
Bottom lane: Destiny Master - Jhin
Support: Dawn Goddess-Leona
"Welcome to Summoner's Rift!"
The female voice of the system sounded crisply, and the ultimate showdown, which carried the hope and glory of the two regions, officially began!
"The game begins!" Miller's tone was passionate. "Both sides did not choose the first-level invasion, but stood firm. In the first game, both teams appeared to be extremely cautious."
On the road, Su Mo's Sword Lady and Khan's Ornn launched the first round of testing at the moment when the military lines met.
Su Mo is not in a hurry to take action, but first hits the target to look for flaws in Ornn.
Khan played extremely conservatively, hiding behind the minions almost the whole time, and only used the Q skill [Volcano Rift] to last long range hits.
However, Su Mo's suppression was pervasive.
He seized the moment when Khan stepped forward to replenish the artillery truck, stabbed the flaw in front of him with a Q skill [Breaking Air Slash], and then retreated calmly.
With a smooth blood exchange, Ornn's blood volume suddenly dropped by a small amount.
"The details of Brother Mozi are so terrible," Watanabe lamented, "He is like a precise instrument, completely anticipating every step of Khan. Brother Khan will be very tormented in this match."
In the jungle, Canyon's prince cleared the lower half and rushed straight to the middle, intending to cooperate with ShowMaker's clockwork to suppress Scout's Victor.
However, Jiejie’s Zhao Xin seemed to have expected it and had been waiting in the grass in the river for a long time.
As soon as the prince appeared, Xin Zhao rushed out with his gun, forcing the DK midfielder to retreat.
"Jiejie's sense of smell is too keen!" Guan Zeyuan analyzed, "He knows that DK's rhythm engine is the midfielder, so his task is to keep an eye on Canyon and not give him any chance to gain ground."
Although there were no kills in the first six minutes, invisible pressure has enveloped Canyon. On the road, Khan's Ornn was suppressed by nearly 20 knives and was forced to return to the city once, handing over TP to the line.
The middle and lower roads maintain a balance of power.
But at seven minutes, EDG found an opportunity to win Xiaolong.
The two sides have also developed steadily in the follow-up period.
The first turning point of the game occurred in the ten-minute dragon team battle.
EDG took the lead in settling on the river and started to take the lead.
DK was forced to take over the group.
"It's about to start a fight!" Miller's voice suddenly became tense, "DK chose to fight head-on, they are very confident in their teamfight!"
BeryL's Dawn Goddess flashed out from the flank, and aimed a [Zenith Blade] directly at Viper's female gun!
The female gunman moved to avoid it, but the Japanese girl came directly with an R and was about to faint.
But Meiko reacts faster!
Almost at the same moment when the Japanese girl R, he swallowed the Viper next to him in one gulp, causing the Japanese girl's control move to completely fail!
When Canyon's prince saw this, he decisively used his ultimate move [Heavenfall] to cover Xin Zhao and Tahm Kench in the front row of EDG.
ShowMaker's clockwork also placed the golem at the prince's feet, preparing to release the devastating [Command: Shock Wave].
At the critical moment, a white beam of light rose into the sky on the road!
"Brother Mo Zi has handed over TP!" Watanaru shouted excitedly, "He gave up a large wave of troops and teleported directly to the eye position behind the DK formation!"
His target was the Ghost who was outputting An Ran in the back row!
"Mozi is cutting into the back row! His target is Jhin!"
ShowMaker has no choice but to pull his ultimate move towards his feet, trying to push Sword Girl away.
However, Su Mo's reaction was faster than normal!
The moment the clockwork ultimate move animation appeared, he pressed the W skill [Laurent's Heart Sword]!
"Blocked! Oh my god! Brother Mo Zi used the W square to use the wind-up ultimate move, and he also stunned Jhin!" Guan Zeyuan almost jumped up from the commentary table!
Fiona, who successfully blocked and controlled, is like a tiger rushing into the herd of sheep, her Q skill rushes forward, and her ultimate move [Unparalleled Challenge] is instantly attached to Ghost’s Jhin!
The four flaws light up at the same time!
The sharp dance steps bloomed in the crowd, and the moment the healing formation spread out, Ghost's screen turned gray!
DK, who lost AD, was defeated like a mountain.
Although Khan's Ornn struggled to hit EDG's back row, it was of no avail due to the lack of follow-up damage.
In the end, EDG played a perfect team battle of one for four, and only the support Meiko was replaced.
"Win! EDG won this crucial vanguard team battle!" Miller concluded excitedly, "Brother Mozi completely shattered the teamfight system that DK is famous for with a TP that was like a god descending from the gods!"
The audience went crazy and shouted that name in unison, the sound was loud.
After winning the team battle, EDG easily took over the Rift Herald and flattened the first tower of DK in the middle.
The economic gap instantly widened to more than 2,000.
Since then, the game has completely entered the rhythm of EDG.
Su Mo’s Sword Lady is unstoppable at the single-side, and Khan’s Ornn doesn’t even dare to defend alone under the tower.
DK must send at least two people to barely contain Sword Queen's advance.
This gives EDG the opportunity to play more and less head-on.
They continue to encroach on DK jungle resources, control the dragon, and snowball the snowball.
Twenty minutes later, EDG already had three dragons in hand, and its economic lead exceeded 7,000.
DK was pinned down on the high ground, struggling to defend waves of troops.
Their operational rhythm was torn to pieces in the face of Sword Girl Wujie's single lead.
At twenty-three minutes, EDG feigned an attack in the middle, and Su Mo's Sword Girl led through the bottom lane and quietly approached DK's bottom lane high ground.
DK is in a dilemma.
Finally, they sent Khan and Canyon back to defend the bottom lane.
But the moment the two set off, Scout's Victor seized the opportunity and cooperated with Xin Zhao to kill Clockwork.
Then the high ground in the middle of DK was broken.
As for the bottom lane, facing the defense of the two men, Su Mo's Sword Girl activated her ultimate move, shouldering the damage of the defense tower and killing Khan's Ornn under the tower!
At this time, Su Mo's teammates rushed over, and Canyon's prince could only retreat in embarrassment.
Two highlands fell one after another, and the suspense of the game ended completely.
After EDG returned to the city for replenishment, the five of them gathered in the middle and set foot on the DK high ground with a huge military advantage.
Although DK resisted stubbornly, in the face of EDG's crushing equipment, all resistance was like a mantis trying to defeat a chariot.
Finally, the main crystal exploded in the concentrated fire!
The huge "Victory" badge shines brightly on the EDG crowd's screens.
In the first game, EDG took the lead with a crushing force, beating DK without any breathing space!
· EDG players calmly took off their headphones and high-fived each other.
This victory seemed to have been expected and did not cause much disturbance.
Jiejie wanted to put her arms around Su Mo's neck, but he sidestepped easily.
"Hold on," Su Mo patted him on the shoulder, "It's only the first round."
At the other end of the stage, the atmosphere in DK’s battle seat was solidified.
Khan slumped in his chair, staring blankly at his miserable record.
He felt like a clown who had been completely seen through.
From operation to consciousness, he was crushed in all aspects, making him feel deeply powerless.
ShowMaker and Canyon, the ace midfielders, are just silent at the moment.
They didn’t even feel that they had made a big mistake, but they lost the game just like that, cleanly and without any suspense.
The players from both sides got up and went to the lounge.
It's just that the passage leading to the lounge seemed extremely long and cold to the DK players at the moment.
Arrived in the lounge, Khan broke the silence: "My problem, I... can't stand it. He is too strong."
"It's not your fault," Canyon shook his head, "It's all of our problems. We. His handling of team battles was torn apart by him alone."
"He played so perfectly." ShowMaker closed his eyes, seeming to still reminisce about the despair of that moment, "It's like he can predict the future."
"Stop talking." The coach finally spoke. His voice was not loud, but it silenced everyone.
"I know you feel uncomfortable when we lose." He looked around, "In the first game, we were suppressed by them in all aspects, from BP to game content. This is not a problem of any one person, but our entire team, we have not found a way to deal with Mo."
He paused and changed the topic: "But, this is just the first game of BO5! What's the matter with all of you hanging your heads? Have you forgotten how we dominated the LCK? Have you forgotten how much effort we have put in to stand here?"
"Be confident!" kkOma's voice suddenly rose, "If you want to win, you must have the courage to change! Since conventional tactics cannot defeat him!"
Everyone sighed secretly.
Although I know that the coach wants to try his best to encourage them.
But everyone knows how stressful it is to face Mo.
At the same time, the atmosphere in EDG's lounge was relaxed.
"Beautiful!" Abu smiled and handed each team member a bottle of water. "We showed our momentum in the first game! BP did a good job, and we didn't give them any chance in the game. Brother Mozi, that swordswoman, made my heart almost jump out of my chest."
"How else can they change?" Jiejie asked curiously.
Su Mo unscrewed a bottle of water, took a sip, and said calmly: "How can we change? It's just to give up the top lane completely and focus on the lower half. I feel that I can't affect the overall situation on the top lane alone."
Abu and the factory director looked at each other and laughed.
"We thought of it together with you." Abu said, "The next time, we will use our tactics. If they dare to let you go, you will hit them on the road, and then tear down their house alone."
Su Mo smiled and said no more. He just started to close his eyes to rest, and he was already thinking about the choice of hero for the next round in his mind.
The short break was over, and when the players from both sides returned to the stage again, everyone felt keenly that the aura on DK's side had changed.
Although he was still dignified, the aura of despair disappeared and was replaced by a feeling of death.
"Okay audience friends! Both players are ready! Let's enter the BP session of the second game!" Miller's voice on the stage drew everyone's attention back to the game, "DK has the right to choose sides, this time on the blue side, EDG on the red side!"
"DK banned the Peerless Swordsman on the first floor!" Wawa said, "It's expected! Mozi's Fiona put too much pressure on them in the last game!"
"DK's second move is to ban the River King! They don't want to see Meiko's Tahm Kench anymore!"
"EDG's second move is to ban the future guardian! They continue to target Mo's hero pool, and EDG bans itself. What kind of operation is this?" Guan Zeyuan laughed, "Does it mean that EDG also knows that some heroes are released for Brother Mo Zi to get, does it affect the balance too much?"
The barrage in the live broadcast room burst into laughter again.
【Shrimp and pig heart! EDG: I ban my brother’s heroes myself, just because I won’t give you a chance! 】
【This wave comes from the confidence of the champion! I don't need Jace, I'll still beat you up! 】
In the end, BP ended quickly.
Blue side DK:
Top laner: Ocean Disaster-Ganglank
Jungle: Ruined King-Foego
Mid laner: Dark Leader - Syndra
Marksman: Solemnity of the Waning Moon - Aphelios
Support: Soullock Warden - Thresh
Red square EDG:
"The lineup is confirmed!" Miller concluded. "DK has really changed their strategy! They selected Captain, a top laner who can support globally. They made it clear that they want Khan to resist pressure in the top lane, and then use his ultimate to support the bottom half. Team battle! And the midfielder of Foyego and Syndra are very powerful in the early stage! Aphelios and Thresh in the bottom lane are the absolute guarantee of the ability in the later stage!"
"EDG has chosen a lineup with full strong opening ability!" Wawa added, "Prince and Titan, both points can become engines! The existence of Vigus, and it is very restrained from Foego's entry! As for the upper unit, Brother Mozi once again selected Kennen! Facing a captain who is destined to be let go, Kennen's development will be unimpeded! Once a Kennen who has no fattening ability finds an opportunity in a late-stage team battle, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Guan Zeyuan adjusted his glasses and made his scientific conclusion: "DK's tactics are very clear, which is to use the power of four people to penetrate the lower half of EDG in the early stage without giving Kenan a chance to take over the game! This is a race against time! It depends on whether DK's rhythm is faster, or EDG is more stable!"
A big gamble has begun. (End of chapter)
