Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.
Chapter 501: Draw the Sword Right From the Start!
"Ornn! FPX has picked Ornn!" Remember suddenly raised his voice: "Ornn is a champion that I'll pick if you let him be available in this version."
“Ornn is still too OP, so let’s see how EDG plans to counter Gimgoon’s Ornn!” Rita said.
After FPX picked Ornn, it was EDG's turn to choose.
"How about you guys pick Ezreal for bot lane this game?" Nofe looked at Gege and asked, "How about Braum for support?"
“Sure!” Pigeon puffed out his cheeks, like a Shiba Inu: “Brown can also confiscate Ornn’s security door.”
"OK! I think it's a good idea!" Meiko smiled and took a sip of water.
EDG selected Braum and Ezreal on the red side.
With this bottom lane duo picked, EDG's strategy for this game was pretty much set: to play defensively and counter-attack!
Ezreal can both poke and has strong self-preservation abilities.
At this point, FPX needs to consider whether to stick with the poke composition or continue to strengthen their teamfight initiation.
FPX opted for a jungle-mid duo of Jarvan IV and Taliyah to further enhance their engage potential, while EDG chose Ryze for the mid lane!
Ryze is a viable counter to Taliyah.
Both sides began the second round of banning.
EDG, on the red side, banned Janna and Lulu.
Normally, EDG should continue banning hard supports that can initiate team fights at this point.
However, Braum is not afraid of supports like Nautilus and Leona. Braum can hold up his shield and tank the damage, and they won't even lose any health when they hit his shield.
Conversely, Braum is more afraid of soft supports, and Crisp plays soft supports much better than hard supports.
If FPX really picks a soft support for their bot lane, then EDG's bot lane will have a very difficult time.
FPX opted to ban Maokai and Sion.
These two heroes are the top lane heroes that Flandre plays most often in scrims.
When FPX banned Maokai, the audience couldn't help but laugh.
Even the commentator, Ji De, burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... FPX banned Maokai! I'm sure everyone has heard the saying, EDG recruits Maokai, requiring him to be a top laner."
"The champion Maokai definitely has a special meaning for EDG!" Rita laughed.
"Even Attack played Maokai top lane last year. It can only be said that if you play top lane for EDG, you can choose not to play Maokai, but you can't be unable to play Maokai."
"I'm sure Maokai played pretty well during Flandre's tryouts..."
"Hahahahahaha..."
After the second round of bans by both sides, it was EDG's turn to pick.
Nofe looked at his own top laner and jungler: "Should we build the top laner first or the jungler first?"
"Let's pick the jungler first!" Zhou Hanyang suggested. "We'll see about the top laner later!"
"Then let's try Kindred!" Nofe said. "We shouldn't engage in team fights head-on this game; we should just drag it out."
“OK!!!” Zhou Hanyang indicated that he understood.
Kindred's priority isn't very high in this version, mainly because the jungler needs to set the pace in the early game.
Kindred, a champion who can't control the pace of the game, is naturally not favored.
However, when Zhou Hanyang chose Kindred, cheers immediately erupted from the audience.
"Ohhhhhh……!!!"
"Here it comes!!! Attack's Kindred!" Remember shouted loudly, "Attack used Kindred last year when they were in the top lane. Now that they're in the jungle, I wonder how Attack will showcase Kindred."
Since Taliyah is a disadvantageous matchup against Ryze in the mid lane, White Crescent originally planned to pick a Caitlyn and Lux laning combination for the bot lane.
After all, Attack is too aggressive. If the mid and bot lanes are not in lane in the early game, a weak jungler like Jarvan IV can easily be invaded.
However, after meeting Kindred, White Crescent felt that the pressure in the early stages was not so great.
Kindred's combat strength in the early stages was not much stronger than that of the prince.
White Crescent immediately picked Kog'Maw and Taric for the bot lane duo!
FPX has a clear mid-game teamfight composition. Once they get the teamfights going, it will be very difficult for EDG to deal with them.
After seeing FPX's champion selection, Zhou Hanyang turned to look at Flandre next to him and asked, "So? Xuanjun? You're going for Fiora???"
"Are you really going to pick Fiora?" Flandre chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"What? Got scared?" Zhou Hanyang chuckled.
"Damn it, all my scrims were with Sion, Ornn, Maokai, and other noob champions." Flandre couldn't help but glance at Zhou Hanyang. "I haven't played a single game with Fiora or Camille, and now you're making me play Fiora in the main tournament, huh?"
"Just tell me if you want to play or not?" Zhou Hanyang stopped wasting time.
"Choose!" Pigeon shouted. "Just deal with him. Yang Shen said that Sword Maiden can handle Sheep with ease."
"Damn it..." Flandre cursed under his breath, then gritted his teeth and shouted, "Bring it on!"
He had only played this match in ranked games, but had never played it in official scrims.
Knowing how to play is one thing, but how effective it will be in a match is still unknown.
The moment Flandre locked down Fiora on the fifth floor, deafening cheers erupted from the crowd.
"Ohhhhhh……!!!"
No one expected that Flandre would immediately draw his sword in his first match with EDG!
