Chapter 970 I Bloom Amidst Slaughter
After EDG secured Lee Sin on the first floor, kkoma decisively instructed Khan and Clid to pick Jayce and Akali on the first and second floors respectively.
"It really is Jayce... This is Khan's Jayce, and it's also one of his most iconic signature champions. But I remember EDG has its own strategy for dealing with strong laners like Jayce. But SKT so decisively picked top and mid champions first..."
As he spoke, Miller's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt in his expression: "There aren't many coaches who would do a draft like this. Could it be that Kkoma is trying to flex between these two heroes?!"
This worrying possibility suddenly flashed through Miller's mind.
After all, Akali and Jayce are two completely different types, from their hero attributes to their laning characteristics and even their team fight roles.
EDG has to consider how to deal with the pressure from these two heroes in lane at the same time, while also being wary of their potential for unpredictable changes. This undoubtedly adds a great deal of difficulty to the tactical planning.
Although Khan didn't play Akali many times in the competition, Miller recalled that his win rate was quite high.
As for Faker, there's no need to say more; no one doubts whether Faker can play Jayce.
After all, in the game League of Legends, he can skillfully control any existing champion.
At this moment, on the EDG stage, Coach Nofe's brows were tightly furrowed.
Despite making various pre-match preparations and considering all possible draft pick scenarios.
However, SKT's unique drafting style made it difficult for him to quickly come up with an effective countermeasure.
At this slightly tense moment, Su Mu calmly said, "Let's go for double carry. They might waver, but it's not a big problem. Let's get the plane."
Coach Nofe's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
The Corki system is indeed one of the tactical systems that EDG team excels at. However, there is a certain degree of incompatibility between the Lee Sin champion and Corki in terms of mid-jungle synergy.
The problem with Coach Nofe is that he is too inclined to the so-called "standard answer" during the drafting process.
In layman's terms, his draft pick/ban combination is rather rigid, lacking flexibility and ingenuity.
The EDG team's creativity was almost entirely filled by Su Mu.
Take this match as an example. Nofe's original plan was to pick Poppy for the top lane in the second and third picks to counter Jayce's strong lane pressure, then pick a champion that synergizes well with Lee Sin for the mid lane, and give Su Mu a core carry that can take over the game in the late game for the bot lane.
However, Coach Kkoma's two hero choices completely disrupted Coach Nofe's original plan.
In this tricky and complex situation, Su Mu's important position at the tactical level becomes even more prominent.
"Airplane, Virtuoso!" This short and powerful command came from Su Mu's mouth.
Upon hearing this, the EDG team players did not hesitate at all and immediately locked in these two heroes.
The choice of the hero, the airplane, was still within everyone's expectations.
After all, the flexibility and output capabilities of aircraft in competitions have always been highly favored by teams.
However, the moment the magician made his final decision, the entire arena seemed to ignite, erupting in deafening cheers.
The cheers, like a surging wave, swept across the entire venue, and players from all over the world, no matter where they were, were thrilled by this choice.
It's important to understand that choosing the hero Jhin at a world championship, a tournament representing the highest level of global competition, is extremely rare.
"I bloom amidst the carnage, like a flower before dawn."
Su Mu's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
After EDG finalized their two hero picks, kkoma, as the coach of SKT, hesitated for a long time regarding the selection of their third hero.
Actually, it's not that kkoma doesn't know which hero to choose.
The main reason is that everything went too smoothly.
The smooth sailing made kkoma suspicious, feeling that EDG seemed to be setting a clever trap for him.
After all, for their tactical system that favors high damage output, the most suitable ADC is undoubtedly Yin Zeril.
Moreover, this is also the tactical system that SKT team is most adept at using during the LCK Spring Split.
So, is EDG really not worried at all?
However, kkoma's hesitation time was actually very short.
In the blink of an eye, SKT quickly and decisively picked Yin Zerg!
At this point, both sides had finalized their first three hero picks, which, when compared to each other, appeared quite hardcore, demonstrating a high level of tactical awareness and determination in the game.
"Ban Sejuani and the Prince." Su Mu said calmly and slowly.
For EDG, the draft phase in the second round is actually very simple and straightforward.
Picking out Lee Sin has already limited CLID's performance as a jungler to some extent, as if breaking CLID's first leg.
Banning Sejuani and Jarvan IV, two extremely popular junglers in the current version, would be tantamount to breaking CLID's second leg.
After all, for CLID, whose champion pool is relatively shallow, having four jungle champions banned at the same time is quite fatal, as it greatly reduces his options for jungle champion selection.
SKT's second round of bans was also highly targeted.
They precisely killed both Titan and Pyke.
When both sides revealed their bans in the second round, SKT's fourth-floor player quickly locked in a champion that EDG was very familiar with—Gragas.
"Reserving a counter-pick slot for support?" Nofe couldn't help but show a hint of surprise upon seeing this.
In the current situation, theoretically speaking, it would be more appropriate to place the jungler in the fifth position to take on the counter-role role.
After all, at this crucial moment, EDG has yet to select their jungler and support heroes, which is the most critical aspect of their team's coordination. To decide on the jungler hero so hastily would seem far too hasty.
"There are two possibilities. First, they are worried that Xuanjun will pick Gragas to lane against Jayce. Second... this Gragas might be intended to target the support."
Su Mu pondered for two seconds, then slowly said, "They must know that Xuanjun's signature hero is Gragas, and in this game, we can indeed use Gragas to counter Jayce. If we combine it with Lee Sin, it will become quite easy to target the top lane."
"If Gragas can be used as a support, I feel like I'm having a hard time choosing a champion."
Missing had a thoughtful expression on her face.
In this game, he needs to choose a hero that can supplement the team's ability to initiate team fights.
However, Gragas is undoubtedly quite effective against champions who excel at initiating team fights.
Among the remaining initiation heroes available in the game, the only one that fits the current game version is Leona, also known as Dawn.
It has to be said that SKT's three targeted bans precisely hit their weak points.
"Be cautious." Su Mu's words clearly reached Liu Qingsong's ears.
Missing paused slightly at first, then a smile slowly appeared on her face.
"It is indeed feasible."
In the blink of an eye, the heroes on the fourth and fifth floors of the EDG team were quickly revealed to everyone.
Jax, the Weapon Master.
And Eye of Twilight, be careful!
