Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

After RNG picked Roga and Twitch, SKT turned around and picked Gragas and Varus, while RNG picked Malzahar on the third floor.

However, during the second round of bans for both sides, RNG started an extremely abstract draft!

Despite SKT picking Galio, RNG surprisingly banned SKT's Orianna and Karma.

Banning Karma here is understandable, as they were worried that Karma and Varus in the bot lane would be too strong and could crush RNG's bot lane duo just by laning.

What's incomprehensible is that banning Clockwork is completely illogical.

By banning both Lulu and Karma, SKT's bot lane will only be able to pick supports like Soraka or Taric, giving them an advantage in the laning phase.

"What's the meaning of RNG's draft?" Iboy bluntly said, "Banning Nidalee and Ezreal in the second round of the last game was already insane, and now they're banning Orianna?"

Is this draft pick (BP) really something a human could pull off? Does RNG really not want to win? Or is RNG...?

Seeing that Iboy was about to speak recklessly, Meiko scolded, "Xiao Zhao!!! What are you talking about? They definitely have their own tactical system."

"To be honest, if I were Uzi, I would have cursed him out!" Iboy shouted, pointing at the screen. "Either Lulu and Karma, or Gnar and Camille in the top lane? Is this a draft pick that even a human could make?"

Amid Iboy's complaints, RNG locked in Gnar on the fourth floor, while SKT picked Leona and Camille. RNG then locked in Nocturne on the fifth floor!

"Both sides' draft picks are insane!" Mingkai exclaimed in amazement. "They didn't pick Xayah and Rakan, but they picked Lulu! RNG's second round of bans is practically inhuman. They banned Camille and Gnar here, and then couldn't they just give the top laner the fifth counter pick?"

……

As expected, RNG lost the game in an extremely ugly manner, bringing the score to 1-1!

After this game, it seemed like a 1-1 tie, but it was actually a fatal blow to RNG.

SKT has confirmed two things: first, RNG doesn't understand how to play the split-push strategy.

RNG's Gnar already had a 4-0 record in the early game, and he was not afraid of Camille at all when split pushing on the side lanes.

Although Camille has Galio's protection, Gnar also has Nocturne's protection. If the side lane is constantly in a 2v2 situation, giving Twitch enough space, Varus will definitely be no match for Twitch in the late game.

Secondly, RNG simply couldn't field the Xayah and Rakan combo.

Whether it's because the players can't play the game or because there's no system built around Xayah and Rakan is less important.

In short, RNG simply can't counter Xayah and Rakan!

Bo5 is essentially a game of constant probing to find each other's weaknesses.

For SKT, there's only one thing RNG can't handle: Mlxg's Jarvan IV.

For RNG, there are simply too many issues that SKT cannot address.

Jayce can't handle it, and Xayah and Rakan can't be released together either.

Then RNG will need to use even more bans.

The bans for both sides in the first round of the third game were essentially locked in.

RNG can only ban Jayce, Xayah, and Gragas!

SKT's lineup consists of Kalista, Jarvan IV, and Janna!

RNG would rather use Taric to pair with Vayne than Rakan as a support.

Similarly, when it came to the second round of bans, RNG once again started their incredible draft picks!

Even with Lulu and Lore on the outside, they still banned Gnar and Trundle in the top lane.

Tristana completely dominated Vayne in the early laning phase, and with Lulu, the perfect support for Tristana, RNG's bot lane was doomed in this game.

SKT once again gave Huni Camille!

However, thanks to Mlxg's perfect rhythm, RNG ended the game in 22 minutes, even before SKT's lineup was fully formed.

RNG even secured match point early!

However, in the third game, SKT benched Blank and brought in the more aggressive Peanut to compete against Mlxg.

Despite MLXG's perfect Sejuani rhythm in both games, SKT preferred to let MLXG play Jarvan IV, who had previously performed invincibly, instead of relying on MLXG's Sejuani.

That's the charm of Bo5; when SKT can't deal with the opponent's heroes, they'll choose to quit.

And RNG started their incredible draft picks again this game!

Despite SKT picking Galio, Lulu, and Kog'Maw in their first three picks, RNG opted to ban Ezreal and Nidalee in the second round!

With this draft pick, SKT easily secured Gragas and Gnar in the second round on the blue side.

When this second round of draft picks was made, the game was already over.

The second round of bans offers many hero options, such as Gragas, Gnar, Camille, etc.

But RNG chose Nidalee and Ezreal.

As expected, RNG was completely overwhelmed by SKT in the fourth game.

In the fourth game, Peanut played Gragas so well that he kept harassing Spicy Pot in the jungle, making it impossible for him to find an opportunity to gank.

Therefore, RNG chose to ban Peanut's Gragas!

By this point in the fifth game, the draft picks for both sides were basically locked in.

RNG must ban Jayce in the first three rounds, and Rakan in the second round, because RNG cannot escape Xayah and Rakan. If they don't ban them, SKT on the red side will pick Xayah and Rakan, which is something RNG cannot accept.

The last ban must be either Gragas or Galio.

If Galio were given to RNG, then the jungler would be Mlxg picking Jarvan IV and Peanut picking Gragas again, repeating the situation from Game 4. This is a situation that RNG cannot accept, so RNG chose to ban Gragas!

After both sides finished banning players, a situation arose.

There are four relatively overpowered heroes among the heroes outside.

Prince, Galio, Tristana, and Varus!

If RNG picks first, SKT will get two, but then the core problem arises: RNG's tactical system revolves around team fights, team fights...

Therefore, RNG cannot pick Varus.

If you're in a completely calm state, the best course of action here is to pick Galio instead of banning him, and secure the champion on the blue team's first floor.

But RNG didn't do that. They chose to trust Uzi's individual ability and picked Tristana on the first floor of the blue side!

game over!

(These two chapters are a thorough analysis of RNG's draft picks against SKT! You can't just say whether I should ban Galio in a Bo5 draft; that would be cheating.)

If you read these two chapters carefully, you should be able to see that the draft picks and bans (BP) followed a similar trend. The key was actually the second game! RNG didn't win the second game, making this best-of-five series much more difficult.

Because the core draft strategy for both sides was entirely in the second game. Split pushing, Xayah and Rakan... RNG couldn't handle either of these two key picks, making the subsequent drafts much more difficult.

But to be honest, RNG's second-round drafts were basically all bluffing, those who know, know! Picking Galio and banning Orianna? Why is Feng Ge out of work? Is he really not good enough?

竞业协议才陪48个月的工资而已，2017的风哥工资一个月才3W不到！也才赔144W而已，以2018教练的薪资大半年就赔了。

Even RNG's own management didn't expect that RNG would have a chance to beat SKT. This is something RNG didn't expect, you know? Feng played a very dishonorable role, just like in the S5 World Championship.

LGD's owner, you all know what I mean...

Let me tell you another one: Why is RNG's owner broke? First, he bought into the real estate market at the tail end of its boom. Second, he has a particular fondness for gambling in Hong Kong and Macau.

I've explained it so clearly, if you still don't understand, I really can't help you anymore. There are some things I can't say explicitly!

[It was precisely because of the inexplicable defeat in S7 that Uzi was able to explode in S8. He didn't understand why he always seemed to have a special connection with the team at Worlds, sensing an invisible force, which led to his complete breakdown.]
