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

"Kennen, Ivern!!!" Wawa immediately shouted, "Wow! No wonder SKT banned Jayce and Tristana! Jayce isn't afraid of Ivern and Kennen, whether it's the laning phase or mid-game team fights."

Even when SKT let their guard down, Jayce's enhanced QE combo was easier to land, and Tristana's ultimate greatly limited Kennen's entry into team fights in the mid-to-late game.

"What should EDG do? Should they pick Caitlyn from SKT first? Ivern paired with Caitlyn is a very strong combination," Miller couldn't help but ask.

This statement undoubtedly reflects Miller's understanding of the game, which is actually not very high.

The EDG team is currently discussing this issue.

"How about picking Caitlyn?" Zet said in Korean, "If they pick Ivern and Caitlyn, the pressure on the bot lane will be too great!"

"We can't select a female police officer so early!" Coach Nofe said in Korean as well. "If we select a female police officer so early, they can easily choose Rat or Big Mouth."

If another late-game carry emerges in the mid lane, and everyone has their ultimate abilities ready for that combo, most team compositions will struggle to beat them!

"So the policewoman just gave them to them like that?" Zet asked, somewhat taken aback.

“We can’t just give it to them so easily.” Nofe shook his head and said, “If we give it to the policewoman directly, it will be difficult for us to guard against them if they focus on either the top or bottom lanes in the early stages.”

"?" Zet was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't choose or give anything, so what should he do?

"Zhou Hanyang, can you use that 'black technology' you mentioned before this round?" Nofe stopped wasting time with Zet and looked at Zhou Hanyang instead.

“Sure!” Zhou Hanyang smiled. “As long as you need them, all the heroes I’ve given you are in my hero pool. Even if they’re countered by the enemy, I can still play them. You can pick them all directly.”

"OK!" Nofe gave Zhou Hanyang an OK sign.

He immediately said, "Choose the excavator and Lucian!"

Seeing that time was running out, Mingkai quickly locked the excavator.

Scout, however, turned to Nofe and asked, "Lucian? Where to?"

While the others couldn't understand Zet and Nofe's conversation, Scout, being a Korean player, was able to.

If Nofe is already pushing Zhou Hanyang's unconventional strategy against Kennen, then Lucian definitely won't be going top lane.

"Of course we'll go mid," Nofe said decisively. "With Lucian and Rek'Sai in the mid and jungle, let's see if SKT's mid laner still dares to build a late-game carry!"

Lucian and Rek'Sai are both heroes with explosive early-game pressure.

If SKT's mid laner dares to pick a late-game carry after this jungler pick, they could be completely overwhelmed if things go wrong in the mid-game.

Faced with this threat from the mid and jungle, SKT also had no choice but to pick Caitlyn.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the mid lane, SKT's two carries will be completely unable to step up during EDG's strongest phase in mid and jungle.

In that case, Kennan might even go to jail as well!

It's entirely possible that the market will plummet in the middle of its decline!

If EDG actively tries to pick up the female police officer, they will actually fall into SKT's trap.

Entering the mid-game where combat power declines can help SKT smoothly transition into the late game.

This is the game between BP!

Seeing that EDG didn't pick Caitlyn, but instead chose Lucian and Rek'Sai, an extremely strong mid-jungle duo.

SKT's coach Kkoma paused for a moment, then patted Faker on the shoulder and said softly, "Sang-hyeok, Lucian will most likely go mid. Do you want to pick a champion first?"

Kkoma's words are quite simple.

Can you withstand the pressure from EDG's mid and jungle players?

If you can't hold on, pick first, since strong heroes will definitely be banned in the second round!

If we can hold on, then let's see!

"Yes, yes... I'm fine with it!" Faker said without hesitation.

Compared to some players like Cj8 who always carry the team, Faker is more willing to take on more responsibility for his teammates.

Even in S14, it was still the same.

He would comfort his teammates when they made mistakes, but he couldn't accept his own mistakes.

Some Cj8 players just force their teammates to play Lucian in the jungle.

“Then let’s choose Karma on the third floor!” Kkoma said immediately.

Karma and Ivern is also a double-shield composition.

Karma not only has lane priority in the early game, but also synergizes well with Ivern in the mid-to-late game.

After both sides completed the first round of player selection, the second round of player banning began.

SKT, on the red side, chose to ban Kog'Maw and Galio.

With Lucian in the mid lane, he can exert his strength in the mid-game, and with the effect-focused Kog'Maw of Lucian, he is naturally a must-ban.

Otherwise, EDG's two carries are too strong in the mid-game and could easily crush SKT!

As for Galio, he's definitely a ban in the mid and top lanes!

Galio can definitely counter Kennen, and with the help of Rek'Sai in the mid-game, he can also deal a devastating blow to SKT's formation.

And EDG might even have a brain fart and send Lucian to the top lane?

On the other hand, EDG banned both LeBlanc and Syndra.

The meaning is clear: the goal is to target SKT's mid and jungle players and limit their fighting power in the early and mid-game.

When it was SKT's turn to pick in the second round, they still didn't choose Caitlyn, but instead chose Twitch!

Choosing the rat over the female police officer left many viewers who weren't familiar with the game confused.

On the contrary, some insiders saw through the trick.

Clearly, SKT hopes to go into the late game against EDG.

Banning Kog'Maw and giving it to Caitlyn is to limit EDG's mid-game lineup curve.

Faced with SKT's overt strategy, EDG chose not to respond.

EDG, on the blue side, locked in Ryze and Sivir on the fourth and fifth floors respectively.

These two choices left everyone completely stunned.

However, everyone quickly came to their senses.

"Wow! We originally thought EDG was going to focus on the mid and jungle, but it looks like they're going to focus on the top and jungle!" Wawa exclaimed immediately.

"In the early game, Clearlove helped Attack's Lucian tear open SKT's gap in the top lane! Scout and Zet, the two carries, provided cover for the team fights in the later stages."

"Yes! Looking at it this way, this lineup is definitely EDG's style! Ever since Attack joined EDG, EDG has basically been choosing lineups like this!" Miller nodded repeatedly, eagerly saying:

"In this way, as long as Kennen can completely dominate the top lane in the early game, EDG will not be afraid of SKT at all in the mid and late game! Sivir is actually somewhat effective against Twitch in team fights."

Upon seeing EDG's lineup, Kkoma's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He had a bad feeling about it, but EDG's lineup clearly had its position already determined.

Kkoma finally suppressed his unease and asked Faker, "What should we pick for mid lane? Orianna? Or Azir? Or Taliyah?"

"Let's pick Orianna, Orianna!" Faker said after thinking for a moment.

Only Orianna and SKT's lineup are a perfect match.

“Okay! Let’s wind it up!” Kkoma nodded slightly.

SKT immediately chose Clockwerk on the fifth floor of the red side.

Both sides have finalized their lineups.

but……

After EDG made their substitutions, all the viewers were a little confused.

because……

EDG moved Ryze to the top lane, while Lucian remained in the mid lane!

Ryze vs. Kennen?

Lucian clockwork?

A question mark slowly appeared on everyone's forehead.

What is EDG up to now?

After all, there's no talk of Ryze countering Kennen at this point.
