Chapter 89 Let's Hunt...

"The only man on the entire internet who can support the original poster without getting flamed. A few days ago, he predicted that Crown would win the championship, but he actually predicted that the Samsung team would be wiped out..."

"Crown Bro gritted his teeth: Thank you, Zeyuan, having a fan like you is a blessing for the LPL!"

"It was only after my senior colonel personally stepped in to support the original poster that I felt at ease. Otherwise, I would have been on tenterhooks tonight."

"Make your dream come true, Qi Jiang! Go to the Bird's Nest and realize your dream!"

"..."

With a crisp clang, the broadcast screen switched to the draft phase of both teams.

At this stage of the World Championship, it's clear to everyone that the blue team has the advantage, and the win rates for the red and blue teams are not equal.

After all, the red team has a natural disadvantage in terms of bans.

In today's best-of-five series, EDG correctly predicted the outcome and gained the priority to choose sides in the first, third, and fifth rounds. This puts pressure on Longzhu, the red team, in the draft phase.

In addition, Dragon Ball must also win a game on the red side; otherwise, if both teams win on the blue side, EDG will still be the ultimate winner!
Immediately, the business proposal (BP) negotiations between the two sides officially began.

"EDG first banned Taliyah, unwilling to give the champion to BDD, while Longzhu banned Kalista."

The S7 World Championship has reached the semifinals stage. All teams have a similar understanding of the game version, with almost no significant differences, and the pick/ban rounds are basically fixed.

The first three bans for both Longzhu and EDG were almost identical, similar to their quarterfinal matches, but Longzhu's disadvantage in the draft phase was still evident.

EDG banned Xayah and Janna, while Longzhu banned Karma, making their last ban a difficult task.

If you ban Jayce, you have to let Rakan go, but if you ban Rakan, Jayce will be given to the opponent.

Ultimately, it was because EDG pulled out the mid-lane Karma "black technology" during the quarterfinals, which made things even worse for Longzhu, who already had a limited number of bans.

They have to bear the risk of releasing a hero that is difficult to handle and resolve.

We can't bet that Mouse won't be able to get Jess, can we? Dragon Ball is a game we can't gamble on, and we wouldn't dare to gamble on it.

They are on the red side and must do everything they can to win this game; they cannot afford to be careless!

Coach Kim Jung-joo looked worried.

Jayce and Rakan are both high-priority champions, and it will be very difficult for him to be allowed either one.

But there's actually an even worse situation...

That means EDG could have banned Rakan, forcing Samsung to choose between Jayce and Janna.

However, Nofe also clearly saw that Janna is more protective, while Rakan, a dive champion, is more suitable for EDG's need to initiate team fights.

There was no other way. Even though everyone knew that giving Rakan to EDG would greatly enhance EDG's offensive capabilities in the early and mid-game, Longzhu had to do it anyway.

After all, Rakan is only a Tier 1 hero in the support role, while Jayce is the only Tier 0 hero in the top lane!

The Dragon Ball members can tell which is more important.

Jayce was immediately banned.

"Is EDG planning to pick Rakan this game? But if that's the case, Longzhu has a chance to pick Galio + Jarvan IV?"

I remember him frowning slightly, as if deep in thought.

The Galio + Jarvan IV combo is a strong engage combo that LPL teams are particularly adept at and play very smoothly.

Therefore, the commentators also knew how powerful this lineup was; it was a rare combination on the field that could "do whatever it wanted"!
However, Dragon Ball did not choose to take down this mid-jungle duo.

They took Galio and chose Lulu as support.

"Huh? Dragon Ball isn't planning on having a prince?"

No one understood why Dragon Ball would voluntarily break up this combination, but only the people on the OP's side knew the reason.

They're going to use the red team's counter pick to cause some trouble! And EDG, seeing this, didn't hold back either, locking in Jarvan IV immediately!
The moment Rakan was picked, it meant that EDG was definitely going to engage in team fights and push forward, otherwise they would have just given Meiko Janna.

Immediately afterwards, EDG locked in Ryze!
Meanwhile, Dragon Ball chose Varus from the third floor.

In the second round of bans and picks, Longzhu banned Tristana and Kog'Maw, while EDG banned Gnar and Kennen.

Dragon Ball immediately locked onto the giant bug!
With Gnar and Kennen, two powerful split-pushing champions, being banned, the top lane is destined to be dominated by a tank champion.

Shen and the giant bug are the best choices.

In the current version, Cho'Gath is an excellent front-line tank. His Q skill can cut through the battlefield, and his W silence control can also play a key role in team fights.

The most crucial point is the ultimate move!
Cho'Gath hard counters champions like Jarvan IV who charge into team fights. With a single hit dealing thousands of true damage, combined with the damage from teammates, Cho'Gath can quickly secure a kill and reduce the enemy's numbers!

"Wow... this Dragon Ball lineup is so tanky! Galio, Cho'Gath, and the jungler will most likely build Gragas!"

Just thinking about it makes Guan Daxiao's scalp tingle, not to mention that Dragon Ball also has Lulu protecting the ADC.

"EDG doesn't have many options left for their AD carry now. Twitch? Maybe Twitch is a viable pick."

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's too difficult for Twitch to lane against Varus in the early game, which makes it too difficult for EDG's bot lane."

"Moreover, rats aren't particularly good at taking down tanks!"

"Actually, there's another hero who's very strong at taking down tanks... but this AD carry hasn't been seen in a long time."

A comment from guest Li Jiahang served as a reminder to everyone.

"You mean that ADC...you don't mean Vayne, do you?"

Colonel Guan reacted quickly.

Currently, the strongest AD carries against tanks are Varus, Kog'Maw... and Vayne!
All three ADCs have percentage-based damage, and with attack speed buffs, they are very effective against front-line tanks.

"But I remember Kshine has never played Vayne before. She's only played her a few times in ranked games, and only occasionally."

After glancing at the data, he shook his head and said, "If Kshine's Vayne proficiency isn't high enough, then forcing her to pick her wouldn't make much sense."

"..."

At this moment, everyone is watching EDG's choice.

Kim Jung-joo anticipated that EDG might pick Kog'Maw, which is why he chose to ban Kog'Maw.

If EDG decides to pick Twitch, it will indeed be difficult to deal with Longzhu's front-line tanks. As for whether EDG will pick Vayne... hehe, absolutely not!
This option was not even considered in Dragon Ball.

After all, this AD champion is really weak and is not a regular AD pick in competitive play.

However... EDG continued to counter each move!

First, they picked Trundle as the jungler on the 4th floor!
"Hey? That's a good pick for Troll!"

Colonel Guan's eyes lit up immediately.

The troll's ultimate ability can steal the opponent's armor and magic resistance, making him a tank killer.

Moreover, the troll has a strong 1v1 ability. With a little bit of attack items, he can easily take down towers on the side lanes.

If it's a 1v1 situation in the top lane, the Troll Warlord isn't afraid of Cho'Gath at all.

And in the last hero pick...

The moment the AD champion appeared on the screen, all the LPL fans in the audience could not contain their excitement, and screams and cheers rose and fell!

Let us hunt down those who have fallen into darkness!
