LOL: I love sharp reviews and have become a professional expert
Chapter 960 Extreme Lineup
"What am I supposed to use to fight this?"
Saint Gun raised an eyebrow. At this moment, the bottom lane duos of both sides were still undecided, but the top, mid, and jungle heroes of the Flash Wolves team had already been selected.
Under these circumstances, EDG's original counter pick reserved for Flandre on the fifth floor needs to be moved forward appropriately.
After all, there are many champions to choose from for the bot lane duo. However, there are not many champions that can both suppress the enemy champions in the top lane and limit Akali in the late game.
If we don't secure it in advance, we might miss our chance in the second round of bans.
Unbeknownst to him, Su Mu realized that his team had actually suffered a slight disadvantage in the draft phase.
When the opposing team reveals their top, mid, and jungle heroes, their team has no choice but to follow suit and reveal their top, mid, and jungle heroes as well.
Moreover, in the second round of ban/pick, the only position they could target for banning was the bottom lane.
So the question is, how many times in the past has EDG needed to target the opponent's bottom lane?
"I have a hero that can be tricked into being banned."
Just then, a smile suddenly appeared on Su Mu's lips.
Saint Gun Bro was probably in a relatively calm state at first, but suddenly, as if he was ignited by something, his interest was aroused.
However, when he learned exactly who the hero was from Su Mu, a bitter look suddenly appeared on Flandre's face.
He's never been the type of person who's keen on playing this type of hero.
Although he is skilled enough to play this hero, in his opinion, it is really difficult to make any waves with this hero in terms of operation and gameplay!
EDG's choice on the third floor seemed quite ordinary; they picked Poppy.
But this seemingly ordinary Poppy move caused the corners of the Flash Wolves players' mouths to twitch slightly in unison.
Poppy's role is actually quite simple and clear: to counter Akali's engage.
Indeed, even though Poppy has the W skill "Unwavering Demeanor", she can't guarantee that she can block Akali or Sylas's entry every time.
But for Flash Wolves, they don't have much room for error. If Poppy can successfully block even once, the knock-up effect caused by "Unwavering Demeanor" will instantly expose any heroes who dive in to the enemy's focused fire.
"It's okay, everyone, don't forget our trump card," Betty reminded them at the right time.
“That’s right, that’s right, we have a trump card.” The support player, Little C, chimed in.
The second round of buy/sell (BP) then proceeded smoothly.
However, to the astonishment and disbelief of countless viewers, both sides banned a total of four AD carries in this second round of banning and drafting!
Flash Wolves banned Sivir, a core champion, and Xayah, keeping them both banned.
Currently, Karma has not been banned.
There is indeed a possibility that EDG could use Sivir and Karma in the bot lane, which is something Flash Wolves would absolutely not allow.
Therefore, they chose to dismantle the Sivir champion.
As for the Xayah and Rakan duo, it was a decision Flash Wolves made after careful consideration to avoid EDG taking them directly.
Looking at EDG's ban strategy, it appears much simpler and more straightforward.
They banned Kai'Sa and Bounty Hunter.
Banning Kai'Sa is naturally to deal with the potential for this versatile AD carry to engage and follow up when Vi locks down the enemy.
Bounty Hunter is a hero that has recently become popular in the current version, and his playstyle is quite suitable for Betty.
If the entire Flash Wolves team chooses to engage, Betty might indeed pick this hero, playing cautiously and farming in the early game, then unleashing his ultimate to lower EDG's health during team fights.
After all, EDG's ability to engage isn't very strong this game. While Xin Zhao's ultimate is a decent counter to Bounty Hunter, EDG's formation means they can't stay close together all the time. Otherwise, it would greatly reduce the difficulty for Sylas and Akali to engage.
Therefore, Zhao Xin's main task in this game was to dive in and restrict the enemy, rather than to protect the team.
It's best to get rid of some unnecessary troubles in advance.
After making that ban, EDG's fourth pick revealed Varus.
With Varus revealed, EDG's fifth pick hero is practically obvious.
This is practically an open draft. But for Flash Wolves, it's not so easy.
If EDG chooses to pick Tahm Kench on the fourth floor and save Varus for the fifth floor, then they can directly pick Varus and go for a poke-heavy playstyle.
This way, they have strength in the early laning phase, and in the mid-to-late game, they can support the team's engage heroes and deal decent damage.
But EDG did it differently; the order in which they chose their heroes was designed to be incredibly meticulous.
Flash Wolves' intentions in this game were very clear: they were determined to carry out their aggressive, all-out attack strategy.
They pulled out three heroes with dash abilities at once, but then a tricky problem arose: if they picked up Tahm Kench, how should they deal with the subsequent situation?
Are we going to choose a core AD carry for Betty who is theoretically capable of carrying the whole game, and then put him in a difficult situation like being in prison during the early laning phase?
Flash Wolves must be feeling quite helpless right now.
If they don't pick Tahm Kench, it's tantamount to handing over the powerful Verus-Tahm Kench combination to EDG.
This is clearly not the situation they want to see.
However, in this fierce player selection battle, which was like a raging storm, the Flash Wolves were already in a desperate situation with no way out.
Immediately afterwards, the champion selection screen moved to the fourth floor, where Flash Wolves locked in Galio.
Then, on the fifth floor, the bomber was also identified!
At this point, the Flash Wolves' tactical fangs were completely and utterly exposed to the world.
With its lock-on control, targeted detonation damage, and powerful initiation methods, this lineup boasts distinctive characteristics.
Fortunately, Flash Wolves are from the LMS region. In the LMS region, no matter what kind of bizarre or extreme lineup a team picks, it won't surprise anyone too much.
With EDG finalizing their Tahm Kench pick in the fifth pick, the lineups for both teams are now officially set.
In the commentary booth, Wang Jide was the first to express his opinion on the Flash Wolves' lineup, saying bluntly: "The three AP system that Flash Wolves chose will be quite difficult to play in the late game."
Indeed, after the second round of hero bans, Flash Wolves had very few heroes left to choose from in the bot lane AD carry position.
Even so, the choice made by Flash Wolves is far too extreme.
