Chapter 659 Top Esports’ New BP Strategy, Targeting the Jungler!

After a period of waiting, the players of both sides confirmed and entered the BP phase.

Because KT is the first seed and has the right to choose the side first, KT chose to be on the red side in the first game, letting the opponent ban and choose first.

Generally speaking, the BP of the blue side is easier to do in this version, and few teams will actively choose the red side.

Remember: "KT chose the red side, um~ I feel that 369 may be in trouble. The greatest value of the red side is the last counter position. It goes without saying who this counter is left to? Is there anyone in KT with a higher tactical position than Orange Brother?"

Cat: "It's broken! I think 369 can start with Ornn in the top lane. This thing will still work even if it is targeted, unlike other heroes who will be useless after being beaten."

957: "It is rare for KT to choose the red side right at the beginning, which means that they are confident enough in their player hero pool. Otherwise, the BP of the blue side should be better in this version."

The blue side banned Sett first.

Sett is unique in this World Championship in that he can play on four lines in KT. Other teams almost never see jungler Sett and midlaner Sett in the World Championship. Only KT is still choosing them, and they can still play well.

KT on the red side banned Lucian.

This hero is still not easy to use on the red side, especially since Topsports has Lucian in its mid and top hero pools. If Lucian is given to the opponent, it is difficult to determine Lucian's line, and the last counter on the red side will not be that meaningful.

Topsports gave the second BAN position to Volibear, the jungler that Bono used the most in the group stage.

KT gave the second BAN position to Syndra, targeting Left Hand's signature.

However, the third BAN position on the blue side has not been revealed, and the commentator began to worry.

Cat: "No way? Top Esports is still hesitating? Irelia won't be banned? Hey! White Crescent is going to mess with 369's mentality, right?"

957: "Did White Crescent specifically check Orange's recent RANK? Orange has only played two games with Irelia recently. Although he won, his statistics were very average. Will Top Esports deliberately let Irelia out so that 369 can choose a hero like Crocodile to play?"

Remember: "What Brother Legs said makes sense! And this is equivalent to letting 3unter position, because we know that KT will most likely take Irelia if it is released, but it is 3r Orange. This time White Crescent is on the fifth floor."

Cat: "Ah... It sounds like there is no problem, but I always feel something is wrong. What if 3r is still beaten?"

At this time, the Chinese stream barrage is polarized.

Some people called on White Crescent not to be stubborn. If 369 was beaten by Irelia in the first game, his mentality would probably explode.

Some people think that Irelia can be released. Yesterday, Lin Cheng's Irelia RANK did not play an advantage against the top lane players. It's time for 369 to beat Orange Brother and get rid of his inner demons.

Some people support releasing Irelia for completely different reasons. They hope to give Lin Cheng a chance to choose Irelia skin.

Some people are busy expelling the nationality of the above group of people.

It can be seen that Top Esports is also struggling with the issue of whether to release Irelia. As time goes by, it has not yet determined the third BAN position.

On the other side, Lin Cheng was secretly happy.

Haha! Let Irelia out quickly and let Cheng Ge have fun.

Unfortunately, when it was about to be banned, Top Esports still banned Irelia, which made Lin Cheng's plan fall through.

Damn it! What a psychopath.

Lin Cheng was a little melancholy. He felt that he might become the only top laner who was always banned from the current version of the strong hero in the world game.

The third BAN position of KT on the red side was given to Card, which was regarded as a "double card double belt" system that is now valued by all teams.

Since we have decided to leave the counter position to Lin Cheng, we should try not to put heroes like Card that are very restraining to the side lanes. After all, it is impossible for Lin Cheng to fight two on the side lanes every time.

When we started to select players, Topsports grabbed Graves on the blue side.

In fact, when facing KT before, many teams on the blue side could put the jungler on the second or third floor to select, because they knew that KT would not grab the jungle core.

But when playing against JD.com, Bono's fasting Lilia shocked everyone.

It turns out that jungle core heroes can be played like this!

Topsports naturally began to worry whether Bono would grab Graves, so they decisively locked him on the first floor.

KT counterattacked and locked the combination of Senna + Tam, which was considered a ban instead of a ban.

Although Shuizige's Senna had a 0 win rate in the Canyon of Heroes, she performed very well in the group stage, so Ai Ming simply grabbed it for him.

Seeing KT's selection, Topsports on the blue side decisively used Zoe + EZ double C on the second and third floors.

This double Poke system is very strong in the mid-term battle for the dragon resources, which happens to be what Top Esports is very good at.

And because KT's support is Tam, if the top, mid and jungle do not make up for the teamfight, they will be extremely tortured by the Poke lineup.

KT is naturally aware of this, and the red team locked Galio on the third floor.

This hero not only has control, but is also one of the few heroes in the middle lane that is good at fighting Zoe. It is also a support-type mid laner that Kuro often uses.

Starting the second round of bans, KT on the red side first banned Bard.

Bard was very popular in LPL for a while, especially when paired with a Poke lineup, it can greatly restrain the opponent's first-hand strong opening.

On the blue side, Topsports banned Jarvan IV in a counterattack, guarding against KT's classic mid-jungle combination of Jarvan IV and Galio.

KT gave the last BAN position to Ornn, not wanting 369 to mess around.

And Topsports finally sent Lee Sin to the BAN position, continuing to target the jungler.

Remember: "Volga, Sett, Jarvan IV and even Lee Sin were banned. Topsports' BP in this round was targeting Bono. It seems that Topsports felt that Orange's hero pool was not easy to target, so they changed their mindset and targeted the jungler like crazy."

Cat: "Don't tell me, Bono's most commonly used heroes recently have basically been banned, and he's going to use a fasting Lillia again?"

In fact, no one in the KT team expected that the opponent would target the jungler like this.

Because Bono's BP priority in KT is very low, and he often uses tool junglers, so generally opponents rarely spend a lot of BAN positions to target Bono. As a result, Topsports has locked up the most commonly used heroes of Bono in the current version.

Of course, the fasting Lillia is not a regular choice. If 369 really stays in the top lane, Lillia's fasting may be destroyed by Graves.

However, the KT team is not too worried.

Their training games are not played in vain.

After communication, Ai Ming locked Centaur on the fourth floor.

Remember: "Centaur? This is a hero that Bono has never used before. Generally speaking, European players will use Centaur as a jungler, but LCK and LPL have not tried Centaur as a jungler at least in this year's world championship version."

Cat: "KT didn't learn this from European teams? But it's not certain... What if it's a top laner? Bono's hero pool doesn't seem to have Centaur, but I definitely don't believe you if you say that Orange Brother can't use Centaur. It's not surprising that Orange Brother takes any weird thing on the road."

957: "Now it's time to test 369. Is this Centaur a jungler or a top laner? Ornn is gone... Or how about a whole Sion?"
