Hou Haotian was muttering to himself, walking around, rubbing Xiao Min's shoulders and pressing Wang Hao's neck.
"Okay, okay, Monkey Fatty, are you sure it's us who are nervous and not you? Haha."
Seeing that Hou Haotian looked restless and wanted to find something to do, Zhang Yu couldn't help but tease him.
"Haha, yeah, Brother Monkey, why do you look more nervous than us?"
"Yeah, I was wondering why Monkey didn't check the forum today. Turns out it was because he was nervous. Haha."
A group of people burst into laughter.
Hou Haotian withdrew his hand angrily and scratched his head.
"Really? Logically I shouldn't be nervous. I've read the forums. DI Shi Huang predicted that we would lose regrettably."
"Yeah, pretty steady!"
Hou Haotian emphasized it again.
"Yeah! Pretty stable."
"Okay, okay, just focus on your forum. We're getting ready to go on stage. The staff is here to urge us."
Zhang Yu gathered everyone together, made them form a circle, and held hands together.
"come on!"
At this time, on the commentary desk.
"Welcome everyone to the second day of the first week of the 2013 LPL Summer Season. I am today's host Miller."
"Hello everyone, I am today's commentator, Wawa."
The commentators for today's LG vs. PE match are Miller and Wawa, who are affectionately called Haier Brothers by lpl fans.
"Miller, today's game is very interesting. LG vs. ME. This should be considered a match between a rookie team and an old team."
"We are all familiar with ME, a veteran and powerful team in LPL, but we may not know LG so well."
"LG is the champion of our Spring City Heroes Tournament. This team can be said to have made it all the way from the Internet cafe competition to the LPL. Miller, you have commented on this team's games before, what do you think of this team?"
Miller thought for a moment and replied.
"How should I put it? This new team is very strong and has strong offensive power, but if you really compare it to the ME team, it may still be a little immature. But if you ask me to evaluate it, it has a promising future."
"Oh, it seems that Miller thinks highly of this new team. It matches the gossip I have. According to the information I got from some unknown sources, this team has put a lot of pressure on the old teams. It is said that it has attracted a lot of attention. Today we will see how this new team performs."
"Okay, now both players are seated at the venue."
"We are all very familiar with the players of ME. Strawberry is the top laner, Ruodao is the jungler, Bi is the mid laner, and our Smile and Curly are the bottom laners."
Hearing the commentator introducing ME, the fans in the audience couldn't help but cheer. They are indeed a veteran team, with so many fans that Zhang Yu and others were envious and drooling.
At this time, the players on both sides have sat down and started to debug the machines.
Soon, the machines of both sides were debugged and entered the bp stage.
The LG team first banned Ruodao's Widowmaker. Not many people play this hero, but only Ruodao can play it to such an elusive effect. Therefore, in order to prevent Ruodao from disrupting their rhythm, LG decisively banned Widowmaker.
ME then banned LG's Jayce. Three of ME's players are members of the All-Star team. If we talk about the LPL team's understanding of LG, ME is one of the best. Naturally, they know how terrifying LG's Jayce is, so they didn't hesitate to ban Jayce.
"Brother Yu, what should we ban in the second ban position?"
"Ban Thresh."
Originally, Zhang Yu wanted to ban Card. After all, Card is the signature hero of the Nose team. Generally, other teams will ban him when facing the ME team.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Yu decided to release the card. Zhang Yu felt that his hero pool was not too afraid of the card.
ME then banned Spider. This hero is usually used as a top laner in other teams, but in LG he appears in the jungle position. This is also a point that ME finds difficult to deal with.
Finally, LG and ME banned Kennen and Zed respectively in the last ban, both of which are relatively strong heroes in this version.
"It looks like they want to get the cards."
When Zhang Yu saw that the opponent had banned Jie, he already had a general idea of what was going on.
In this age where only three heroes can be banned, it is basically impossible to ban all other people's heroes, so some heroes must always be released.
Just like in this game, if there was still a ban slot, Zhang Yu would definitely ban Draven. This version of Draven is still very strong, but Wang Hao doesn't know how to use it. Fortunately, Smiling Draven is rarely used.
"First, grab Lee Sin for Guozai. This is our first battle, and we must not only win, but also win beautifully."
Guozai was naturally very happy to hear Zhang Yu say this. He believed that his Lee Sin could definitely show off. It was a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to participate in the All-Star Game, otherwise he would definitely compete with Insect for the title of the world's number one jungler.
ME picked Twisted Fate and Nightmare as the first and second choices, which seems to be his old global strategy. Twisted Fate can indeed be used in this version, and generally speaking, he can hold the line no matter what hero the opponent has.
But how could Zhang Yu and the others give Twisted Fate a chance to survive? After seeing ME choose Twisted Fate, LG did not hesitate and directly chose Leblanc and Shen.
"Did LG choose Shen and LeBlanc as their second and third picks? Choosing Shen is to disrupt the opponent's global flow, but choosing LeBlanc is really risky. LeBlanc rarely appears in the mainstream mid lane in this version. Miller, what do you think of LeBlanc as a choice?"
Wawa was somewhat puzzled about Enchantress's choice and asked Miller.
"Well, I can't say for sure. LG also picked Leblanc in the City Hero Tournament before, but I'm not sure if this choice will work in the LPL arena."
"But since the player has chosen this hero, it means he has enough confidence in this hero. We can see how this hero selection works out."
Seeing that LG chose LeBlanc and Shen, ME chose the bottom lane duo of Vayne and Lulu. Vayne is quite effective against tanks like Shen.
Seeing that the opponent's bottom lane group was determined, LG directly chose Jyra and Policewoman in the bottom lane.
"Smile, I think we need to change lanes. The opponent's bottom lane pick is a bit aggressive."
Messiah was a little worried when looking at LG's bottom lane duo, as they had long arms and high damage.
Since he decided to change lanes, ME chose a hero that could withstand pressure better, and his final choice was Zac.
After a round of bp negotiation, the lineups of both sides were finally selected: LG on the blue side, Shen on the top lane, Lee Sin on the jungle, Leblanc on the mid lane, Caitlyn on AD, and Jyra on support.
The red side is ME, with Zac on top, Nightmare on the jungle, Twisted Fate in the mid lane, and the duo of Vayne and Lulu on the bottom lane.
"Dear audience, let us enter the Summoner's Rift with both players."
With Wawa's words, LG's first game officially began.
The long-awaited lpl is finally here, let us take a look at the dark horse legend of the LG team.
