Chapter 998 Forehand and Backhand Instructions?

Soon, the draft phase of the second game of the BO5 series began.

After careful consideration, the coach of G2 Esports decided to choose the blue side.

They knew they had to gain the upper hand in the first three bans, ideally by picking two or more strong heroes.

The result of the first game made G2's coach realize that Caps in the mid lane is crucial to the game.

However, if you can't secure strong heroes, all plans will be in vain, so good drafting is crucial. (Commentator's note: This is from the commentary booth.)

"The second match between the two teams has officially begun! G2 is on the blue side, and EDG is on the red side! G2's first two bans were Ryze and Caitlyn... However, they made some adjustments in their third ban, choosing to ban Kassadin."

Guan Zeyuan spoke slowly and methodically:

"In contrast, EDG also made adjustments to their first three bans. After banning Irelia, they banned Morgana in their second ban... At the same time, they banned Sylas in the third ban. EDG's intention was very clear: since G2 banned Kassadin to prevent EDG from countering, EDG banned G2's Sylas to prevent either side from picking this champion."

Standing beside Guan Zeyuan, Wang Duoduo nodded slightly in agreement upon seeing this scene, and then said:

"Given this situation, G2's first pick will likely be given to the top or mid laner to secure a strong champion."

As expected, G2's first pick was Jayce almost without hesitation.

Jayce has two major advantages. First, he can flexibly switch between the top and mid lanes, providing more possibilities for the team's tactical arrangements. Second, no matter the version, Jayce is a lane bully. This handsome and wealthy hero from Piltover has made a huge contribution to the draft phase of various teams, either appearing in the pick position or in the ban position.

When it was EDG's turn to make their picks, the three commentators on stage immediately felt a strong sense of familiarity with their choices.

"Anivia... Gragas! That's EDG's signature champion!"

Wang Ji said with a smile.

On the esports stage, every team has a hero that symbolizes the team's spirit.

The so-called team spirit hero is of extraordinary significance. Once this hero appears on the field, almost all the viewers will instantly and naturally think of the corresponding team.

The champion Gragas is a prime example.

When it comes to users of Gragas, there are three players: jiejie, missing, and Flandre.

When missing plays Gragas, he can maximize his roaming ability, and every clever support seems to be writing his own tactical chapter on the field.

When Jiejie plays Gragas, his style is characterized by "aggression." In team fights, there's no battle he's afraid to initiate. With his fearless courage, he often opens up opportunities for his team.

Flandre's Gragas is particularly unique. His Gragas is incredibly smooth and powerful, holding his own against any top lane opponent and maintaining a solid position in the laning phase.

Now that Gragas has made a comeback, and when paired with Alistar, EDG's first two hero picks are quite aggressive.

"Silas has been banned, and Morgana is also gone. As a result, Alistar is essentially without any natural counters in the current situation."

"That's what Guan Daxiao said from the commentary booth. In the meantime, the heroes that G2 team selected on the second and third floors were revealed one after another."

They are Syndra and Kai'Sa.

"Hey, here he comes! Ap seems to be indignant. He's going to get his revenge and has directly picked up the Kai'Sa that Mu played so brilliantly in the last game. I have to say, Ap's mentality is really strong!"

President Guan explained with a smile.

"If you dare to crush me with Kai'Sa on the field, I dare to crush you back with Kai'Sa. This move by Perkz is to prove the strength of Kai'Sa. But to be honest, in the European league, the champions that Perkz plays most often are Kai'Sa and Xayah, and the stats he puts up with these two champions are very good."

Wang added from the side.

Currently, there is an increasing trend in AD carry playstyles, which is to strive to stabilize the situation during the laning phase and rely more on outstanding performance in team fights to help the team end the game.

Of course, there are a few exceptions among AD carries. After all, not every AD carry can be like Su Mu, who can keenly seize opportunities from complex situations during the laning phase and directly gain an advantage.

Therefore, the more team-oriented an AD carry is, the more dependent they are on the entire team.

The stronger the team's overall strength, the better the AD player's stats will naturally be.

AD carries with this kind of cautious playstyle usually only find themselves in danger after all their teammates have been eliminated.

As long as teammates don't all die, the AD carry's stats will often be quite impressive.

G2's performance in the European region this year can be summed up in two words: "invincible".

How could the stats of an AD carry player from a nearly invincible team be anything but impressive?

Wang Duoduo genuinely believes that Kai'Sa is not an ideal choice for G2.

The reason is that if Kai'Sa dies too many times in the game and the team doesn't have a chance to develop smoothly into the late game, then the role that this hero can play is far less than some AD heroes with utility.

Wang Duoduo originally thought that Ap would learn from his mistakes and choose heroes like Jhin and Bomber to stabilize the situation.

Even at his worst, Perkz was once a fairly well-known mid-laner. Choosing lane-dominant champions like Cassiopeia or Syndra to pressure the bot lane would have been a viable strategy. So why did he insist on picking AD champions?

Now that Kai'Sa has been chosen, Syndra will undoubtedly be used in the mid lane.

Wang Duoduo, however, felt that G2's choice of Syndra was quite wise.

If G2's decision to pick Kai'Sa was a way to create a spectacle, then EDG's choice on the third floor undoubtedly took that spectacle to another level.

They chose Ezreal.

“So this is going to be a demonstration of forehand and backhand techniques…” Wang Jide clicked his tongue and said, “This match is going to be interesting. I remember in the last game, Ap used Ezreal to have a 1v1 solo duel with Mu Ge, and Kai’Sa won in the end. I wonder if the same scene will happen again in this game.”

"Haha, it's hard to say, but to be honest, Mu-ge's choice of Ezreal was within my expectations."

While the commentators were talking, the second round of bans for both sides was also determined.

The intensity of the ban round in this match was even greater than that of the previous game.

Since neither side has yet determined their jungler, these four bans are all aimed at the opposing jungler.
