LOL: I love sharp reviews and have become a professional expert

On the day of the competition, the venue was packed with enthusiastic spectators, creating a vibrant and exciting atmosphere.

For local Vietnamese viewers, it is a rare and precious opportunity to witness such a high-quality match.

Therefore, the audience was very enthusiastic, and everyone was excited and eagerly awaiting the start of the match.

When both contestants stepped onto the stage with great spirit, the cheers from the audience instantly surged like a tidal wave, one after another, without end.

The cheers seemed to burst through the stadium's dome, announcing to the world how highly anticipated the event was.

However, the players from both teams on stage all looked quite serious.

After all, this match was of great significance to them; it was not just an ordinary competition, but a crucial opportunity for honor, dreams, and self-proving.

One of the two teams is EDG, which regained its invincible state after Su Mu's triumphant return.

In the first half of the Spring Split, EDG went through many hardships, as if they were tempered in a raging fire, and finally rose from the ashes to present themselves to everyone with a brand new look.

The same was true for the other SKT team. Last year in the league, SKT suffered a major setback, and their performance plummeted.

But now, after a few personnel adjustments, they have successfully returned to their peak and have once again become a formidable force on the field.

They all desperately need a high-profile event to prove themselves, to demonstrate their strength and unwavering spirit.

The atmosphere at the EDG team's booth was slightly tense yet orderly.

Even when facing the legendary coach kkoma, who had already won three World Championship titles, Nofe remained calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

He was so calm because he had powerful backers.

This makes one wonder, does KKOMA exist?

At this moment, nofe slowly said, "They chose the red side this game, which feels like a strategy. LCK teams really like to choose the blue side. SKT has a 90% chance of choosing the blue side when they have the right to choose sides in the Spring Split."

Although nofe is a figurehead coach, he has never slacked off in his duties. He always collects the necessary information, which provides a strong basis for the team to make the right decisions in the game.

"It's alright, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Xuanjun, should we ban Jayce for you?"

As the referee reminded him to start the draft phase, Doinb spoke up.

"No need. The only one I'm wary of is TheShy. The others can take a backseat." Flandre chuckled, but quickly added, "Of course, if we have enough bans, we can remove him. Just to clarify, I'm not afraid of Khan, I'm mainly afraid that his mid-game poke will annoy our Mu."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of him poking me."

"Wow, Brother Mu, that's not fair to sabotage things like that." Holy Gun Bro was immediately exasperated.

Ultimately, EDG did not ban Jayce in their first three bans.

Looking back at the S7 season when RNG faced SKT, the scene of RNG banning Jayce 5 times is still vivid in my mind.

This is just one typical example.

In fact, every year when LPL teams face Korean teams, they have to tacitly give a ban to Jayce; this has almost become a tradition.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that LPL has been suffering from Jayce for too long.

It was precisely because of Su Mu's sudden emergence and his truly outstanding performance as a top laner that the strength of top laners in the LPL was forced to rise, giving the LPL more confidence in dealing with Jayce when facing Korean teams.

At the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller stood ready, their eyes focused, prepared to deliver professional and engaging commentary to the audience.

When SKT won the LCK championship this year, the LCK side hyped it up quite a bit.

Even though the LPL region has won the S-series championship for two consecutive years, the LPL's traditional skill is that there will still be people who rave about the LCK region.

As the saying goes, "three men can make a tiger," and Chinese people are always cautious. When too many people are praising something, it's inevitable that some viewers will become hesitant.

Moreover, after nine years of development, many viewers are well aware that esports is fundamentally different from other competitive sports.

With version updates and changes in team members, few regions or teams can maintain their dominance for an extended period.

Even a team as strong as SKT, the three-time world champions, still suffered a crushing defeat in the S7 and S8 seasons, didn't they?

Therefore, viewers are uncertain whether the LPL region can maintain its dominance for longer. They both hope that the LPL can continue its glory and worry about unforeseen changes.

"The ban/pick phase has officially begun. EDG, on the blue side, has chosen Sylas, Gangplank, and Alistar for their first three bans..." Miller said with focused expression and passionate tone.

Wawa then added, "As for the SKT team on the red side, their three bans were Thresh, Karma, and Rek'Sai."

"EDG banned Sylas because they were worried that Faker would pick Kassadin to counter him, since Kassadin has a unique role in laning and team fights when facing Sylas."

As for the Captain, there's no need to say more; it's one of Khan's signature heroes, and once he gets it, he can exert tremendous pressure in lane.

The mention of Alistar was likely out of respect for the player effort. If I remember correctly, Alistar is not only the champion effort has used most frequently throughout his career, but also has the highest win rate. When he gets his hands on Alistar, it can have a huge impact in team fights.

The doll nodded in agreement and analyzed:

"That's right. Correspondingly, SKT's ban on Karma is most likely to prevent EDG from building some of their tactical systems around Karma. Thresh is an extremely versatile champion, and he can perform very well when paired with ADCs like Lucian and Caitlyn. SKT's ban on Thresh is probably to counter Missing's signature champion. As for Rek'Sai, they probably didn't want Jiejie to get this champion, which can drive a fast pace and quickly accelerate the game."

"That's true, but there's another point. Everyone knows that Clid's Lee Sin is his signature champion, while Rek'Sai is relatively less afraid of Lee Sin in the early laning and jungle fights."

Even if Lee Sin's Q skill hits Rek'Sai in the early game, they wouldn't dare to kick her recklessly, so SKT must have considered this as well, since Lee Sin hasn't been banned or picked yet. Miller's analysis is undoubtedly more insightful and thorough.

However, before he could finish speaking, the player on the first floor of the EDG team immediately picked Lee Sin without hesitation!

"First pick Lee Sin... locked on! Wow, EDG team is really bold. Jiejie is also full of confidence, clearly intending to use Clid's signature champion to compete with him. This momentum is commendable!" Miller's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone of voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

On the other hand, Kkoma, the coach of SKT, did not show much change in expression, as if the unexpected outcome of EDG was entirely within his expectations.
