Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 459: Head-on Confrontation (Part )
In the first game, the BP of both sides was quite targeted.

Characters such as Peanut's favorite Nidalee, Korean top laner's signature Jayce, Zhang Jiale's favorite Ezreal, etc., were all banned.

"The focus of this game is on the bottom lane." Seeing KT on the blue team grabbing the policewoman without hesitation, Lu Liang quickly guessed the opponent's intention.

"Seize Zyra first, otherwise it will be difficult to fight in the bottom lane during its strong period." After commanding Zhao Yang to take down Zyra, Lu Liang pondered and soon showed a sly smile: "Seize Olaf and see if he takes the spider."

The opposing Peanut is a well-known Spider player in LCK. Spider is very strong in this version, so he is a must-choose player no matter how you look at it.

But Fanhua was not in a hurry at all. He left the ban position for Jayce in the last pick to see if KT was willing to take the Spider against Olaf.

If he really does this, then unless Peanut can really create a level difference with Mo Fan, he will definitely not get any benefit in the jungle.

On the other side, seeing Fanhua's first and second choices, KT's coach also looked at Peanut and asked, "Do you want to take Lee Sin?"

From a tactical point of view, it is definitely a better choice to take a blind man who is not restrained by Olaf, but considering that Peanut's spider is well-known far and wide, we still have to respect the wishes of the Spider King himself.

Peanut looked at the current situation of hero selection, thought about it, and nodded with a smile: "Choose it, let's test the opponent's level."

He had played against Baozi from LPL before, and was deeply impressed by the opponent's style of play, which seemed casual but actually contained hidden tricks and was quite unfriendly to offensive junglers.

He still recognized the strength of the Chinese players. Although he was full of confidence, he did not think he was strong enough to achieve stable results even if he was countered.

But this is the first time after all, so there is plenty of room for trial and error, and it’s okay to try it out with the other party.

"Then should Smeb pick Poppy?" The coach looked at the overall lineup. The bottom lane must be protected, and the jungler was also chosen quite aggressively. It is impossible for the mid laner in this version to be a complete blue-collar worker.

I can only let Smeb down and play blue-collar role.

Smeb saw that Jayce was already dead, and the coach's authority was still very effective in most teams. Even though he wanted to do something ruthless, he could only watch the middle lane lock down Poppy for him.

Then he was immediately locked in by the opponent's troll and looked at with dismay.

"The matchup is going pretty well in the top lane. In this case, the Counter position should be left to the mid laner. Let's see what to choose for Brother Le in the bottom lane?" The commentator was still chatting and discussing.

And here are the flowers:
"Should we use it right at the first try? Or should we keep it a secret?" Lu Liang asked Zhang Jiale for his opinion.

"What's there to hide? There are more advanced versions anyway, so let's just use the ordinary version to put on some pressure!" Zhang Jiale nodded vigorously. He has never been a person who likes to hide things.

"Okay, then you fight well and try to exploit the opponent's tactical reserves!"

When Lu Liang saw him like this, he knew that Zhang Jiale had made up his mind, so he didn't stop him.

Good things should of course be used as a gift.

"The troll seems to be a good choice, whether it's dealing with or... Ashe?"

The commentator was still chatting when he suddenly saw Fanhua choose something incredible in the second hand and couldn't help but exclaim.

As for Ashe, no one has picked her since the second week of the World Championship, starting from the qualifying round.

It is a dark horse among dark horses in the bottom lane.

KT counter-banned Ezreal and picked Caitlyn for IMP. Although their Zyra was demolished, their early-game capabilities were still unquestionable.

Originally, Zhang Jiale’s bottom lane should be quite difficult to deal with. Choosing Jhin doesn’t seem very comfortable either.

But as soon as this move came out, the entire bottom lane seemed a little different in an instant.

KT coach was originally quite relaxed, but after Fanhua showed Ashe, he instantly turned to surprise. After a quick mental analysis, he finally became solemn.

"As expected of the champion team..."

Ashe and Zyra, even though this bottom lane combination has not been tested yet, it can be seen that it is definitely not inferior to Caitlyn in the laning phase.

"Shengbin, play well, this round depends on you."

At this point, apart from giving Mata a Karma to enhance the consumption capacity of the bottom lane, all the coach can do is to trust his players.

"Ashe..." IMP was a little surprised when he saw the opponent's unconventional selection.

As expected, the bottom lane that beat up Deft was just too hard to deal with...

Soon, the selection phase ended, and most people's attention was focused on the rather unusual selection in the bottom lane.

Can Han Bing, who has not been able to play for a long time, create a miracle at this critical time point?

Apparently, yes.

Both teams went online. As Zhang Jiale fired a volley of arrows at IMP without hesitation, Sun Zheping's Jyra hit Mata's Karma with a fatal thorn, and the health of both of them was instantly reduced.

Soon after the gap was pulled apart, another barrage of arrows was launched at almost the maximum distance, reducing Mata's health to one third.

Ashe's advantage of long arms was fully demonstrated at this moment, and the policewoman Karma, who was known for her consumption, became the one being consumed.

Although Mata quickly hit Sun Zheping with his Q and retaliated, in terms of overall health, KT lost a small bottle of medicine.

"This is difficult..." At this time, IMP no longer had the mind to think about Deft, who was on his mind all the time.

The 25-plus year-old guy on the opposite side put him under tremendous pressure, fully proving that his title of the world's No. 1 ADC was well-deserved.

The pressure of laning is really hard to bear.

But... I can still support it!

It is true that after Ezreal was banned, Fanhua’s Ashe did serve as a replacement for Ezreal, but for IMP, it is not completely unsupportive.

Especially when your jungler Spider is brushing from top to bottom, while the opponent's Olaf is doing the exact opposite.

Looking at the overall picture again, IMP couldn't help but frown.

This game's BP... was a bit controlled.

At least for now, none of the three roads have much line control and are in a situation of being slightly suppressed.

It’s not that there is such a big gap in the strength of the players on both sides, it’s mainly a problem of hero selection.

The policewoman who was supposed to be strong in the bottom lane was taken down by Zyra and Frost Break, and Poppy in the top lane couldn't gain much advantage against the Troll.

Smeb, who had made bold statements before the game and wanted to teach Zhao Yang a lesson, could only endure Zhao Yang's smooth suppression. The pressure was not great, and sudden death was impossible, but the room for performance was indeed limited.

This limited situation was that Peanut's Spider came to the bottom lane to hide in a wave of points and tried to find an opportunity, but because he was seen in advance by the vision, he failed to succeed, and was slightly outnumbered by Olaf, thus forming a situation of almost all-round disadvantage.

It's getting more confusing...
