After some bargaining and testing, the lineups for both sides were finally selected.
LG team has Weapon on top, Jarvan II as jungle, Clockwork on mid, and EZ and Sona as the bottom lane duo.
The SKT team's lineup is Kennen in the top lane, Elise in the jungle, LeBron in the mid lane, and Varus and Zyra in the bottom lane.
Zhang Yu originally planned to choose some heroes who can counter Ahri, such as Morgana, but after thinking about it, he decided not to choose them.
One reason is that in this version, Ahri's Q skill, Silent Sigil, has a silence effect, and no hero can definitely counter Ahri.
Secondly, if you choose heroes that you are not so familiar with or heroes that are not suitable for the version in order to counter Ahri, and you cannot achieve the desired effect, it is better to directly choose heroes that you are good at.
"LG! LG! LG!"
Less than two minutes later, Guozai returned to the top lane and cooperated with Weapon to go over the tower and kill Kennen directly.
"SKT! SKT! SKT!"
"The cheers from fans on both sides are very enthusiastic. It seems that after this period of competition, the players on both sides have already conquered the audience with their respective skills."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ruoxia quickly used her R skill - Final Dance - at the SKT bottom lane duo, stunning the two players on the opposite bottom lane.
"Faker! Faker! Faker!"
Hearing the thunderous cheers and shouts of encouragement, Wawa said with some emotion.
"Yes, this shows that e-sports is becoming more and more accepted by people, and many people like it."
The moment the heroes from both sides walked out of the fountain, the cheers at the scene became louder again.
In this BO5, neither side has switched lanes so far, and this was still the case in the third game, with the three lanes still in normal laning conditions.
In the early stages of this game, the laning phases of both sides were very calm. Both sides were peacefully last-hitting and developing, and there were very few blood exchanges.
"Oops, I made a mistake. I reported the wrong button. I thought the opponent's jungler was in the middle lane."
"Commander! Commander!..."
But at this time, Spider had already reached the bottom lane, and directly used the E skill to form a cocoon and then followed up with a skill combo to trap Sona.
Fortunately, the Sword Demon had a passive resurrection. In the end, the Sword Demon paid a passive skill, handed over his weapon, and used a flash to finally kill Kennen under the tower.
Although this wave of rhythm has ended, the actions of the junglers on both sides seemed to be a key that opened the door to the fighting desire of both sides.
“………………”
After Ahri reaches the bottom lane, she immediately uses the QR double skills to directly trigger the silencing effect of the Q skill.
While Guozai was attacking Kennen in the top lane, the SKT players also began to prepare to attack LG's bottom lane.
Since Ahri's roaming ability is much faster than that of Clockwork, Faker's Ahri arrived at the bottom lane first.
Seeing Spider rushing over from the river, Jella flashed and released an E skill towards LG's bottom lane duo.
But they are all professional players, how can they show off their positioning in front of others so easily? Varus used his ultimate skill directly, and the corrupted chains directly tied up EZ.
But in contrast, SKT's jungler Spider also came to the bottom lane, ready to target LG's bottom lane.
Seeing that Sona was controlled, Varus directly took over the control with his ultimate and started to attack Sona.
"Hey, Wawa, what do you think of the mid-lane confrontation between the two sides in this game? LeBron versus Clockwork. Although it seems nothing special on the surface, if you look at LeBron's last game, this game will be interesting."
After EZ died, Sona was the only one left without flash, so naturally she couldn't escape from the enemy. She was controlled by both Jyra and Elise's E skills and was killed instantly.
However, in this peaceful atmosphere, there is a hidden murderous intent.
Guozai said to the bottom lane a little embarrassedly.
Ruoxia scratched her head and didn't care too much.
The silenced EZ was unable to use any skills at the moment and could only rely on movement to avoid the control of SKT.
This time, Fumanduo also came out of the haze of being killed instantly in the previous game and returned to his normal operating level.
EZ directly dodged Zyra's E skill with an E skill, but Sona was tied up by Zyra's E skill because the distance was too close.
However, Kennen's performance in this wave was also very good. With one operation, he directly triggered his third level of passive and stunned the Sword Demon directly under the tower.
Under the continuous control and output of SKT's bottom lane combination and jungler, Sona had to give up her life sadly, and the kill was finally obtained by Varus' piercing arrow.
Xiao Cang also interrupted at this time.
At this time, the players from both sides have already walked online and started the formal confrontation. The director was also very considerate and focused the camera on the confrontation between the two sides from the beginning.
"To be honest, I'm not too optimistic about this kind of ban selection of Leblanc as the first pick. I feel the risk is too great. But if you don't grab it, LG might take it, so I'm still very conflicted."
At this time, the laning phase of both sides was very stable, so the commentators were chatting calmly at the desk.
Even the strong confrontation between the two sides was much more peaceful than in the previous few games, with a peaceful atmosphere.
"Speaking of which, Faker and Team Yu's hero pools are really similar, and both of them are absolutely core to the team. They are really rivals."
Since Bengi had been targeting Zhang Yu in the middle lane in the previous few games, and Faker chose Ahri this time, Guozi naturally thought that Spider was in the middle lane again, so he reported the wrong message to the bottom lane.
Due to the difference in wave-clearing ability, Varus and Zyra directly pushed the line of troops to the bottom lane tower of LG, preparing to cooperate with Spider to cross the tower of LG's bottom lane duo.
Fans of both sides were excited, especially because of the choice of the two heroes, Weapon and Leblanc, which completely aroused all the blood of fans of both sides, and both sides couldn't help but cheer for their favorite teams.
In this round, Joker took the initiative and acted as the host of the interview.
At this time, Ahri's E skill Phantom Chains was also used directly, instantly killing Wang Hao's EZ. He was unable to use his light shield and flash, and died instantly.
"It's okay, it's mine, so I don't need to flash. But the opponent's Zyra doesn't have flash, so you can come over and target her."
"Forehead……"
Wawa couldn't help sweating, but still said it.
"In fact, I have followed OGN's games before, and I have a certain understanding of Faker. Leblanc is also Faker's favorite hero. Since he brought it out this time, he must be going all out."
He only used his ultimate at the very end to trap SKT's bottom lane duo under the tower.
Fortunately, Zhang Yu's Clockwork finally arrived at this time, and he used his ultimate skill to hit the three people under the SKT tower. A set of skills combined with the damage from the tower instantly killed the supporting Jyra.
But Clockwork couldn't do more at this time. After replacing one person, he had to retreat and didn't even dare to defend the defense tower.
So in this exchange, LG's top and jungle pushed down SKT's top lane tower, and SKT pushed down the bottom lane tower.
One tower for another, two heads for two heads, and surprisingly both sides broke even.
