The LG.G team still inherited the LG team's tradition of striving for victory, and this time the priority to choose the side fell into the hands of IG.
In order to leave a counter position for pdd, IG chose the red side instead of the blue side. The LG.G team's blue side had the first ban and first pick.
The LG.G team first banned PDD's Rambo. Since the S3 All-Star Game, PDD's position as the world's number one Rambo has been unshakable.
The LG.G team does not intend to let the opposing core player use his best hero.
Since IG was not familiar with the LG.G team, they banned the powerful hero of this version, Exile Blade.
The bans and picks for both sides then went smoother, and LG.G team then banned Dragon Lady and Elise.
IG banned Kassadin and Lucian.
But this game was very difficult for Zita to play, as it was as if the bomber had eyes and always threw it at him.
Miller pondered it for a moment and roughly tasted something.
"I feel like from these pick and ban strategies, we can roughly see the tactical styles of both teams."
But after all, he was his teammate, so PDD still showed sympathy.
Next is the interview video of IG’s top laner pdd.
Zitai chose Gragas as the mid laner this time. Logically, it shouldn't be difficult to beat Ziggs.
PDD looked at his teammates being messed with and recalled the scene when he was sanctioned by Xiao Mingjies.
"Indeed, judging from LG.G's ban positions, the LG.G team did not want to create conflicts in the top lane, so they banned many strong heroes in the top lane."
Perhaps because they thought that LG's teams rarely switched lanes, or IG had no intention of catching the opposing team, LG.G successfully switched lanes without much effort.
After the pre-match interview, both sides officially entered the Summoner's Rift.
The red team IG's lineup is Crocodile on the top lane, Mantis on the jungle, Gragas on the mid lane, and Xiaohai Youshen and his new support chose the bottom lane combination of EZ and Thresh on the bottom lane.
"Shadow, after you kill the Stoneman, go to the middle lane and help push the line. I'll handle the top lane first. Their Lulu and Rat don't have strong killing power."
Xiao Cang had the same idea as Miller.
The lineups for both teams were chosen and the game was about to begin. The big screen turned and the picture changed, revealing a person sitting in a seat being interviewed.
"If LG.G succeeds in changing lanes, then the LG.G lineup will have a lot of advantages. If the hero Twitch develops well, it will be difficult for IG to take over in teamfights."
"And in terms of pressure resistance, Mundo with long-range flying knives is much more comfortable than Crocodile, and Mundo's functionality is also greater."
Judging from the training matches and ranks of various teams, Kassadin is too strong in this version, and LG.G will definitely grab him if he is released.
"Everyone knows that our big brother is LG Team, the world champion, so we must strive to do well."
"You just realized it. I discovered it a long time ago. When their players were playing Jayce, I saw it and discovered that the thieves on their team were good at predicting the movements of others. The marksmanship thieves were good at Jayce."
Moreover, if Mundo loses health, he can rely on his passive and Doran's Shield to slowly restore it, but it is not so easy for Crocodile to recover health.
Although some damage has been reduced, overall, it is still a perfect mid-lane hero.
Zitai thought to himself that something was wrong, and quickly used the E skill to hold Lee Sin, wanting to help Kha'Zix escape.
The situation in a lane swap game is always rather dull and boring, with the junglers of both teams exchanging jungle areas, while the top laner gets beaten under the tower.
"To put it simply, the thief Jiebao can shoot."
This is a new segment added to the LPL this season. Before each game officially begins, a player interview video will be played, and the video being played now is the video of LG.G's mid laner Vless Gao Dewei.
"Our team name? Our boss said that our team name comes from the three elements of heaven, earth and man, nothing else. But I also like the meaning of heaven and earth, it seems very domineering."
After all, the Q skill can clear soldiers with AOE, the W skill can drink wine and increase attack power for finishing off the enemies, and the E skill can move people without fear of ganks.
Xiang Ren looked at the movement of the opposing mid laner and said with confidence.
Zitai was just complaining when suddenly a bomb flew over and hit him in the face.
When Kha'Zix reached the path between the river wall and the f4 wall, Lee Sin kicked the cute little Kha'Zix directly with a sound wave, and then activated the second stage of Q and kicked him up.
In addition to the top laners of both sides feeling uncomfortable, there was another person who also felt very uncomfortable at this time, and that was IG's mid laner Zitai.
"Okay, then I'll go to the bottom lane and use Xiao Meng's flying knife to Q the soldiers."
Gradually, there was a gap in the development and status of the top laners on both sides. Although it was not big, it was there.
"Don't worry, the opponent's mid laner won't take the bait, but someone else will."
While the commentator was discussing, the two sides' military lines connected and the two sides officially faced off.
"How about you go and farm first? Condi, the opponent's mid laner is a bit weak right now, we probably won't be able to catch him."
Lucian was banned because Xiao Xingxing used Lucian very well in the playoffs.
As the name suggests, Shadow has always been Shadow. Since his own big man said so, even though he was not in good shape, he decided to rush to the middle lane.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"Laolu, you go to the bottom lane. Let's switch lanes. Your Mundo is better than the opponent's Crocodile."
Gao Dewei looked at the movement of the opposite side's Barrel and said so.
"Fuck, is this guy on the opposite side a bomber or a missile man? No matter how I try to get around him, I can't dodge him."
Xiao Xingxing is not afraid of the opponent's AD Xiao Haiyoushen, but because his own lineup is indeed easier to change lanes than the opponent.
However, getting beaten can be comfortable or uncomfortable. Mundo is more comfortable because he can use throwing knives to make up for the enemy from a distance, while Crocodile can only wait for the soldiers to enter the tower before he can eat the enemy's line.
Kha'Zix looked at his own health and quickly used his E skill to escape to the front of the tower. Lee Sin touched his eye and slapped the ground, directly kicking Kha'Zix to low health.
Just as Shadow's Kha'Zix rushed to the middle lane, a Lee Sin had already crouched in the grass in the middle river.
After two rounds of trials, both sides finally selected their lineups.
"Oops!"
Sure enough, the next lineup selection confirmed the commentator's thoughts.
"We didn't play well last season and got beaten badly. I hope we can play better this season."
The top laner of LG.G team on the blue side is Mundo, the jungler is Lee Sin, the mid laner is Ziggs, and the bottom lane is Twitch and Lulu.
Sure enough, after a while, through the trinket eye at the entrance to the red buff jungle area, you can see a Kha'Zix with a little more than half health rushing over.
But at this time, the bomber had already walked up and used the Q skill to bounce the bomb.
When Shadow saw the bomber use his skills, he panicked and pressed his flash button.
As if it was a coincidence, or as if it was predicted, or more like Shadow did it on purpose, Kha'Zix flashed directly and hit the Ziggs' Q skill.
“First blood!”
The bomber killed the mantis Kha'Zix.
