LOL: Strange champion pool? Just tell me if you've won or not.

"As you can see, RNG took the advantage of flipping a coin and came to the blue side in the first game."

"Oh? The red team's Samsung actually let Xayah and Rakan out in the first game?"

"Is this a firm conviction that RNG won't pick the Xayah-Rakan combination?"

The three commentators on stage guessed correctly.

Samsung's coaching staff intends to let Xayah and Rakan play in the first game to see if the rumors that RNG won't play Xayah and Rakan are true.

"Don't ban Xayah and Rakan, focus on the jungler and AD carry's champion picks."

Samsung's coach was outlining the draft strategy in the voice chat channel.

The enemy top laner Arthur's champion pool is difficult to counter, and Xiaohu in the mid lane can't carry the game in this version.

If you can shut down the champion picks for the bot lane and jungle, RNG will collapse on their own!

No matter what, this is an AD carry meta. Arthur's champion pool in the top lane is indeed strange, but he can't single-handedly decide the outcome of a team fight!

Xayah and Rakan are out, let's see if you blue side players will ban them or not.

Even the Samsung coach was all smiles.

If the blue side can be forced to take on the bans of Xayah and Rakan, then this best-of-five series will be a foregone conclusion.

However, to Samsung's surprise, RNG did not ban either Xayah or Rakan.

"What's going on? Has the RNG coaching staff gone crazy again?"

"If you don't play Xayah and Rakan, just ban them. If you don't play them yourself, why not ban them?"

"Without Kalista and Varus, those two OP bot lane champions, are they going to let Xayah out for Ruler to pick?"

"Oh no, oh no, it's 0-1 now."

"How are you going to lane against Xayah? With a trap-wielding Tristana?"

"..."

RNG didn't ban Xayah and Rakan, but instead banned Taliyah and Malzahar, two of Crown's signature champions.

It looks like they're forcing Crown Bro to pick Galio?

And RNG's first floor surprisingly locked in Xayah without hesitation.

"What?! How is this possible?!"

Samsung's head coach's eyes widened suddenly, and he froze on the spot.

RNG's first pick of Xayah completely disrupted their entire draft and ban phase.

Fortunately, we had prepared a strategy to deal with Xayah and Rakan's attacks in advance.

"Get Janna with the big mouth!"

Janna with big mouth locked on immediately.

Feng, who was doing the draft, raised an eyebrow and said with some surprise:

"You were right, Fang Shen. Samsung's trump card is Janna."

"However, since they revealed their hand in the first round, they are obviously very confident in it."

Fang Han's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

So what if she's Janna? Does she really think we didn't have any contingency plans?

This move, picking Xayah, was a trap set for you!

Samsung's coach seems convinced that even if Galio is released, Xiaohu won't pick him.

Otherwise, RNG wouldn't have allowed Faker to play Galio five times during their previous match against SKT.

First, ensure the bottom lane duo's strong laning phase; by the mid-game, RNG will be unable to engage in team fights.

The idea was good, but when RNG picked Rakan and Galio as their second and third picks, the entire stadium erupted in an amazing cheer.

"Holy crap! Is this Xiaohu's Galio? Or Arthur's?"

"Oh no, I can't understand RNG's draft picks anymore."

"It feels like Arthur's Galio, right? Does Xiaohu know how to play this?"

"Is this the current RNG? They're so inconsistent!"

"First three picks, Xayah, Rakan, and Galio... What a dream start."

"But does RNG really know how to play this lineup? Why haven't they used it before?"

"..."

Now it's the red team's turn to worry about Samsung.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost. From the perspective of draft picks alone, they have already lost too much.

There was no other way but to settle for second best and pick Ryze for Crown in the mid lane, hoping to use counter-pick to restrain Xiaohu's roaming.

The key now is the second round of ban/pick.

The key point of contention between the two sides in the second round lies in Ueno.

However, thinking that it's targeting Fang Han is a bit of overthinking.

Samsung's coach ultimately opted to ban Mlxg, and in the second round, they directly banned Jarvan IV and Sejuani.

This effectively shut down almost all of Mlxg's hero pool.

"Okay, okay, so the Samsung coach is targeting Xiangguo like this?"

"Damn it, they've really figured out who's in charge of setting the pace."

"Without the prince and Sejuani, there's no way to gain the initiative in the early game."

"Isn't there a wine barrel we can take?"

"Why would we let you take the barrel? The opposing team is red, so you get to pick first in the second round."

"Damn, as expected, the barrel was chosen!"

"..."

as predicted.

Samsung picked Gragas, the strongest jungler in the current patch, as their first pick in the second round.

Mlxg now has very few jungler options left to choose from.

Fang Han grinned.

At least so far, everything that has happened to BP has been within his expectations.

Feng Ge's lips curled up, unable to contain his smile.

"Fang Shen, shall we choose according to our agreement?"

"Hmm, let's choose. It's time to reveal the answer."

Uzi and Xiaoming exchanged a smile and locked in the two heroes they had agreed upon beforehand:

Emerald God plus a small cannon.

wow——

The scene and the live stream chat exploded with excitement:

"Huh? What? Two marksmen?"

"Two marksmen...who will take on the second marksman?"

"Are you suggesting we pick Tristana for mid and Galio for top?"

"You know what, the little cannon turret might actually be able to hold its own against Ryze?"

"What are you talking about? If you keep farming in the mid lane in this version, you'll be missing a unit by the mid-game."

"Don't worry, we'll know once they've changed their heroes."

"..."

Samsung's head coach is completely overloaded with his brain.

Wait, which of these heroes is controlling which one?

In the final pick, for the sake of stability, the coach gave Cho'Gath to the top laner.

This way, you can fight against both Galio and Tristana.

If RNG really puts Tristana in the top lane, Cho'Gath can withstand pressure and farm while waiting for the jungler in the early and mid-game.

The heroes from both sides started switching positions, and Xayah was surprisingly moved to the top lane by RNG?

Then there's the bot lane Tristana and the mid lane Galio.

Even the three commentators on the commentary desk were stunned.

"RNG's lane selection... is quite bold..."

Miller reached up and scratched his cheek, momentarily at a loss for how to explain RNG's actions.

Shanglu Xia? Never seen her before.

Furthermore, none of the three commentators for the finals were former professional players, making it nearly impossible to change the subject.

"Um, Coach Wa, what's your take on this top lane Xayah?"

"To be honest, I interviewed WE's 957 player before the match, and he said that RNG has been preparing various tactics around top laner Arthur recently."

"Oh? So the top lane Xayah in front of us is one of their planned tactics?"

"Well, there's no point in saying more. Let's see who's the best in the game!"

As the game loading, all the audience's attention turned to the large screen in the arena.

Inside the Bird's Nest Stadium, cheers and shouts of encouragement from the audience gradually rose.

"RNG, keep going!"

"Beat up Team KR! Leave the trophy in the Bird's Nest!"

"But how do you fight the giant bug when Xayah is on the top lane?"

"Trust first, don't doubt. Everyone, raise your hands and lend your light to RNG!"

"Five Chinese people! We will definitely win! We will definitely win!"
