In the end, they still walked down the path of banning three mid-laners~\" Miller said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From one ban in the first game, to two bans in the second, and returning to three bans in the third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It clearly indirectly revealed GEN's error in their initial draft strategy, or rather, their misjudgment of the pressure in the mid lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And grabbing Maokai, for GEN, besides banning the opponent's hero, was also to get a hero more suitable for GEN's system in this game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"EDG has picked Varus and Sejuani. You see, it's still that same problem: if the blue side gives too many draft resources to the mid lane, it will lead to the red side getting very comfortable picks in response!\" Guan Zeyuan said as such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GEN has countered by picking Renata... and Xayah!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xayah? Ruler's championship skin has arrived!\" Wawa teased: \"Is this about to enter the 'no regrets' phase?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But looking at it this way, it seems neither side is prepared to bring out Aatrox in the first round,\" Miller continued the analysis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xayah is an absolutely unpopular choice in this World Championship, with only T1's Gumayusi having picked her once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, no one would question the proficiency of a championship skin owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why they didn't pick Aatrox, there are two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first is naturally because of Yone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GEN didn't have an extra ban slot for Yone in the first round, and with Fiora also in the mix, even if they really wanted to pick it, they would have to wait until the second round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second is that Doran’s performance in the previous game wasn't good, and it wasn't just because of Yone—at the very least, when Kingen picked Aatrox against Zeus’s Yone, his performance didn't collapse as violently as Doran’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>EDG’s third pick also took into account that Fiora was still available; Doran can play Fiora, and Flandre’s Aatrox hasn't reached the level where it can ignore champion counters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, with the third pick, they chose a somewhat rare option for the support position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amumu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"EDG has picked a hard-engage support again this game. Paired with Varus and Sejuani, it looks like they want to play a 'Hard-Engage Style'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems they also want to change their tactical system this game!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lineups of the first two games, EDG also had hard-engage attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was clear that their main focus was still on laning, fighting, invading, and melee combat capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet looking at the first three picks this game, all three champions have strong hard-engage methods; it really looks like they are shifting their strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this plays right into the hands of GEN!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not just that the draft they prepared for this game isn't afraid of hard-engage at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s also because they already revealed Xayah first, and the opponent still wants to play \"hard-engage\"—it’s like knowing there is a tiger on the mountain, yet insisting on walking into the tiger's den!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you really think you’re Wu Song!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected, they only have these few tricks—either play for the early game, or play hard-engage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jae-hyuk, your assessment was spot on. I don't think you picked this Xayah, but they definitely might have banned it in the second round!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mafa said with a face full of smiles, comforting his teammate: \"I told you EDG isn't that scary. Don't let the fast-paced rhythm caused by their successful designs in the first two games throw you off balance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as we steady ourselves, the advantage is ours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the second round of the draft—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GEN: Aatrox, Camille\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>EDG: Gragas, Gnar\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since EDG has one more option than GEN to deal with Aatrox—Yone—and they get to pick first in the second round as the red side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assuming GEN wanted to fight for Aatrox, it would be easy to get pulled into a waste of ban slots, so they directly chose to give up the game of chicken and send Aatrox to the ban list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the ban on Camille, besides her performance in the last game, it also serves to restrict the top lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most importantly, it can limit a \"key link\" in the opponent's \"Hard-Engage System\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If GEN’s second-round ban logic was clear and their goal was specific.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then these two picks from EDG are a bit hard to decipher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there are still many options for the top lane; no matter how they ban, Doran has things to play. Logically, it would be a more normal choice to flex a few positions for the mid lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that... the guy in charge of the draft is looking down on people!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Bo naturally didn't have such thoughts, and he also had a very clear goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that doesn't prevent the opposing GEN, Chovy, and the audience in front of the screens from thinking in that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"EDG is completely ignoring the restriction on the mid laner here, but they did pick the versatile Jayce for Flandre on the fourth pick, saving the counter-pick for the mid lane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for GEN, they first pick Ornn for the top lane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryze?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GEN really isn't leaving any regrets this game. Ryze is also an extremely niche pick in this patch. It seems that since entering the quarterfinals, only Faker has picked it once or twice, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are actually quite a few mid-lane champions left on the board, such as Viktor, Lissandra, Galio, Ahri, Orianna...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you add two \"qualifiers,\" the only answer left is Ryze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic Core\" + \"Early Game Gank Assistance Ability\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to magic cores like Viktor and Orianna, only Ryze possesses the stable crowd control of EW, which can coordinate with the jungler in the early game to conduct crazy suppression and attacks on the mid lane, curbing the opponent's offensive rhythm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purpose of snatching Maokai was for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maokai’s Flash-W super-stable ganking ability, as well as his powerful counter-engage ability, are extremely suited to the tactical purpose of this game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GEN has already prepared for Peanut to \"imitate\" EDG’s Maokai playstyle from the quarterfinals this game—accepting a starved state to \"risk his life\" to gank the mid lane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the price is sacrificing the jungle position, they won't hesitate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And compared to functional heroes like Lissandra or Galio that purely assist the jungler, it is clear that Ryze fits Chovy’s playstyle and the positioning of their lineup this game even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GEN’s lineup this game really has some substance to it!\" Guan Zeyuan saw through the design of GEN’s lineup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both side lanes in this lineup are not easily ganked or tower-dived, especially the bottom lane.
