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

If EDG gets Jayce, then SKT will need to address the issues of top-jungle synergy and top lane laning ability.

This relies on the synergy between the top and mid laners, and even the top, mid, and jungle laners!

"Should we try letting them both pick Jayce and Galio? What if they pick Jayce and we pick Galio ourselves?" Wolf offered his opinion.

"Let's ban Jayce first!" Kkoma said after thinking for a moment.

He felt that it was a bit inappropriate to let Huni face Zhou Hanyang's Jayce right from the start of the first game.

If they win, that's fine, but if they lose, Huni will definitely be so badly beaten that he'll question his existence.

If you're beaten so badly in the first game of a best-of-five series, how are you going to win the rest of the matches?

"Let's see what happens with Galio. If the opponent releases Jarvan IV, we'll release Galio to trade for him!"

Kkoma said, "If the opponent picks Jarvan IV, we can pick Galio and Rakan, so we can pick Varus in the second round!"

As expected of legendary coach Kkoma, he made the right judgment instantly.

Varus is the strongest ADC in the early laning phase in the current version, and once SKT gets Rakan...

Therefore, EDG must take the initiative to pick Xayah, otherwise if SKT gets Xayah, Rakan, and Galio, Nofe can retire after this Bo5.

However, to the surprise of everyone, including SKT and Kkoma, EDG actually banned Gragas on the third floor.

"Aa ...

As soon as the barrel was banned, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"What does EDG mean by this? They actually banned three junglers?" Wawa's forehead was full of question marks: "They banned all three of the strong junglers in the current version?"

"EDG has clearly prepared a special strategy, hasn't they?" Miller laughed. "Faced with a well-prepared EDG, what is SKT planning to do?"

"There are still Xayah, Rakan, and Galio out there. What are SKT planning to ban?" PDD shouted excitedly. "This game's top, mid, and jungle will definitely be a non-meta matchup. It can only be said that EDG knows that the audience is tired of seeing tanky junglers, so they've banned all the tanky ones!"

……

Kkoma was genuinely bewildered at this moment.

He really didn't expect that EDG would choose to ban three junglers.

In that case, the junglers will have to engage in an unconventional duel.

However, in this version, the jungler bears the heavy responsibility of initiating team fights. If the jungler cannot initiate team fights, then the top laner and support must initiate team fights in order to maintain the integrity of the lineup.

The problem is that, apart from Rakan, there are no other support heroes who can initiate team fights, so the task of initiating team fights falls on the top laner.

Should we pick a tanky top laner for Huni?

What if Zhou Hanyang goes top lane as a marksman?

Kkoma felt a terrible headache.

“We now have two options: let Galio and Xayah/Rakan both go,” Kkoma said. “If they take one, we’ll take two.”

"But what if the enemy team first picks Galio? Should we pick Xayah and Rakan in the bot lane?" Faker turned to look at Kkoma.

Since Kalista and Xayah/Rakan are unlikely to be released in this version, no one has really practiced these two builds in depth.

Of course, simple operations are definitely not a problem.

But they are facing a strong team like EDG right now, and if they make a mistake in their strategy, they will be in trouble.

If you falter on the Xayah/Rakan pick, then there's no point in continuing the draft.

Not only do they have to take on the bans for Jayce, but also for Xayah and Rakan.

Playing only against the blue team wouldn't be a problem, but they're aiming for the championship.

If we win a game and go to the red side, wouldn't that lock in three bans?

"If the enemy picks Galio, can we pick Xayah and Rakan?" Kkoma asked again.

"I can beat Galio!" Faker said before the bot lane duo could even speak.

As a three-time world champion, Faker has absolute confidence in himself.

"No, no, they're doing this draft because they want Galio! Even though Hecarim is unplayable, they still have Nocturne and Olaf paired with Camille and Galio. We can't compete with that on the side lanes!"

Wolf shook his head and said, "The reason they picked Galio is mainly to serve the purpose of split pushing on the sidelines."

"Then ban it!" Kkoma gritted his teeth and said, "Galio is banned. Let's see what the other side is up to."

After Kkoma made the decision, SKT banned Galio on the third floor!

"Oh? SKT banned Galio again. So, will EDG pick Xayah or Rakan?" Miller couldn't help but ask.

After both sides finished banning heroes, EDG, on the blue side, decisively picked Rakan as their support on the first floor.

Once Rakan was picked, it basically set the tone for EDG's lineup for the game.

Let's start a group buy!

Charge into battle!

Seeing that EDG picked Rakan on the first floor, SKT naturally didn't pick Xayah.

Regardless of which one EDG chooses, they must acquire another bot lane duo that can dismantle the Xayah and Rakan combination, which is currently the strongest T0 bot lane duo in the current version.

SKT then immediately picked Xayah and Janna.

Xayah and the others absolutely need to take her, but we can wait and see about Janna in another round.

The problem is that all the strong heroes in the current version are gone, so SKT doesn't need to pick other positions. Instead, they should take a look at EDG's picks and then consider their subsequent lineup.

After SKT picked Xayah and Janna, EDG naturally had to choose AD Varus. However, EDG's third pick was a champion that no one expected.

Enchantress!

"Huh? LeBlanc?" Wawa exclaimed, "Then the jungler is going to build Rek'Sai? Clearlove's Rek'Sai is the best of the best."

Shouts erupted again from the crowd.

After seeing EDG's lineup, SKT decisively locked in Cassiopeia on the third floor.

Cassiopeia can counter LeBlanc in the mid lane. As long as LeBlanc uses her W to engage, Cassiopeia can place her Ground Slam at LeBlanc's feet, preventing LeBlanc from using her second W to escape.

In close combat, LeBlanc is no match for Cassiopeia, and Cassiopeia's Q skill has a longer range and a faster cooldown when trading blows from a distance!

"Faker has shown his true colors! He plans to gain an advantage in the mid lane and then extend that advantage to the entire game!" PDD laughed. "There will definitely be some intense clashes in the jungle this game, so the synergy between the mid and jungle players will be extremely important."

At PDD's call, both sides began the second round of banning.

EDG decisively banned Peanut's Olaf and Graves.

SKT, on the other hand, is facing a difficult decision!

Currently, Mingkai's possible jungle picks include Zac, Rek'Sai, and Elise.

Excavators and spiders cannot be placed there.

The combination of Excavator and LeBlanc in the mid-jungle is incredibly strong; once they snowball in the early game, SKT simply can't stop them.

If their mid and jungle can drag the game out, they might be able to get ahead in the late game, but the problem is that EDG's mid and jungle might get the early game momentum and then help the top lane.

As for spiders, there's even less to say.

Once Mingkai gets the Spider, EDG's top laner will definitely build Renekton, and we can expect the top laner to dominate the lane in 15 minutes.

After some deliberation, SKT banned Excavator and Zac.

As for spiders?

Of course, we grabbed it on the fourth floor!

Peanut's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

Mr. Ming, as your fan, my spider skills are also top-notch!

This time...
