Chapter 217: Intimidation-style Game! Ultraman Lineup!

"A mere 23 minutes! V5 successfully took the victory in the first semi-final game!"

Remember said excitedly: "The tempo of this game, just watching from the god's-eye view, is a bit suffocating. V5 crushed BLG head-on with a performance that can be called perfect!"

Uzi joked: "It feels like V5 is playing this semi-final with a temper, duck..."

Guan Zeyuan jumped out at the right time to play the white face: "But we must also say that BLG's style is like this; they won't turtle up to farm when at a disadvantage, they just want to come out and fight, which is why the tempo is so fast."

"And in that regular season game, BLG was also speed-run in the first game and then turned defeat into victory in the second. I can only say I'm looking forward to their performance in the second game!"

The V5 fans at the scene and the audience in the back-stage live broadcast room were clearly a bit excited and didn't care at all about what Guan Zeyuan was saying.

【This is what you call dominance!】

【Just teasing you in the regular season】

【I feel like V5 is purely venting their anger this game. They didn't even want to take the Baron in the last wave, they just wanted to push the base. I reasonably suspect they wanted to break a record for BLG!】

【BLG: Guan Dog, I'm begging you, please stop talking, don't let them remember this, otherwise they will hit even harder!】

【Hehe, I knew our JDG lost on purpose! Let BLG go up and play out V5's stuff, and then kill their way into the finals without a drop of blood and compete for the throne—don't blame my Biluochun, the struggle for the Little King's heir has always been like this!】

【Classic lost on purpose, then may I ask what BLG can play out of V5? Confidence?】

"Too simple, ba~" Xun's neck and shoulders shook wildly on the way off the stage, looking in a great mood.

"Chen Zebin is going to be slapped in the face again~~"

Xun and Chen Zebin knew each other from playing ranked in their early years, and later there was even a small news item about "forgetting to shake hands" on the field, so they were somewhat familiar with each other.

When BLG called him to go this year, it was also Chen Zebin who contacted him privately...

Of course, later when he received V5's assessment invitation, Xun didn't hesitate for a second and ran over happily.

Facts proved that Xun was too right!

"You must be happy; all the dirty and tiring work was done by Master Ye, I could do it too!" Brother Shengqiang Ge leaned on his shoulder and teased.

"Aiyo, Brother Shengqiang Ge, you're wrong to say that! As the saying goes, the less ability, the less responsibility, so that's Master Ye being able and doing more~~"

Xun's mood at this moment was purely spontaneous.

As a jungler, as long as you farm the jungle, you can win the game, and the mid-laner does all the other work for you—whoever plays this, has to shout that it's cool!

Ye Bo was also happy about the success of the experiment with the new playstyle.

He has discovered it now.

Playing this kind of utility playstyle where you drag yourself "along to mix," it's not necessarily just the old way of thinking.

Compared to killing the opponent, actually doing the same thing as the opponent, and then doing it "better" than the opponent also works!

Before Xun walked into the tunnel, he glanced at the direction of the next-door tunnel.

He just saw the opposing support saying something cheaply to the top-laner.

"Hehe, it's broken, Jax can't win no matter what, Brother Bin. Your Hupu is definitely going to explode."

"What do you say, Brother Bin, what should we pick next game? Why don't you tell the coach to let you steal his Akali, let's make a big one."

As top and support teammates in the SN training camp, the two had a good relationship, and ON often teased the other, enjoying the VIP supreme roasting spot.

Listening to the laughter coming from behind, Chen Zebin glanced sideways at ON, stepping on his toes in place like Camille.

But the good news is that this person's greatest advantage is his extremely strong ability to withstand beatings, not afraid of being hit!

Of course, it could also be that his memory isn't very good...

And unsurprisingly, the audience with nowhere to go during the interval had already logged onto various forums to sharply comment on the first game.

Chen Zebin, who attracted attention in the pre-match trash talk segment, naturally had an explosive thread, with all kinds of memes and mockery fully displayed.

【Hello everyone~ My name is~ Chen Zebin, I love~ to release Gragas and pick Jax~, my eyes~ are very firm~ Brother Qiang is already laughing~, ah, the belly makes the eyebrows twitch non-stop~, shaking the flower hand is like a helicopter~】

【Now watching Bin talk big, it's like watching a pre-battle declaration for conquering a butter heroine in a game; it's all deliberately to provoke my interest, don't tell me someone still takes it seriously?】

【I think Bin can only prove his ambitious words in fan fiction for the rest of his life. Instead of proving it in reality, he might as well find a fan fiction writer to comfort himself.】

【How to comfort? "Hot Summer Bin & Faker: The Secret of Inheritance V"?】

【Against the sky, the netizens are too repressed, I think the netizens want to enter science.】

【Don't be arrogant yet, be careful that the boomerang comes back later and Brother Bin slaps your faces hard!】

Tabe in the background welcomed everyone back, tacitly not mentioning the previous game, and just immediately led them into a review.

In his view, the loss in the first game was not unacceptable.

After all, V5's strength is obvious to all, and one failure is not enough to make them too entangled.

The BLG members were also holding their breath, just wanting to start the next game immediately.

After all, they were all thinking that as the only team that defeated V5 in the regular season stage—if they could do it once, they could definitely do it a second time!

The short interval passed.

When both sides reappeared, the BLG members all had firm eyes.

The leader, Chen Zebin, stared even more tightly at the V5 direction walking out from next door, wanting to "declare war with his eyes" again with the leader of V5... It's a pity the other person was waving to the audience below the stage and didn't look at him at all.

Before long, the BP screen appeared again!

"In the second game of both sides, BLG uses the loser's side selection to come to the blue side!"

"But BLG's first ban actually went to Vi?"

The BP logic of the red and blue sides is diametrically opposite, especially under the global BP mode.

And if the blue side of the global BP really wants to talk about advantages, it's the advantage of the second game—because most of the strong heroes were consumed in the first game!

It's not easy for the red side to occupy the situation of "you take one, I take two" again.

It just so happens that in the BO5 match, the "loser's side selection" is adopted, meaning no matter how the side selection right is, the loser will grasp the initiative in the second game and will definitely be able to borrow the "terrain" in this BP game!

Don't look, just this logical problem.

But currently, there are no more than 4 teams in the entire LPL that can grasp it.

Obviously, the two teams on the field are two of them.

"Looking at it this way, they should just want to let it all go..." Beryl muttered.

"Yeah, anyway, we have the same solution, no need to make their BP too complicated."

Ye Bo didn't seem too surprised either.

Just because during the interval, they substituted themselves into the opponent's perspective, and they would likely make this most direct BP decision.

And after seeing the opponent's second ban, the two were even more certain.

It's just that Beryl hesitated a bit on the second ban: "Should we ban Galio? Otherwise, your laning will be very uncomfortable, duck."

"No need, otherwise it won't have an effect, the problem is not big~"

Ye Bo's answer was full of overflowing confidence.

First round of bans for both sides—

BLG: Vi, Aurelion Sol, Gwen

V5: Sejuani, Maokai, Poppy

"BLG completed a change from the first game's BP! They actually released both Akali and Sylas!?"

"On the other hand, V5 almost didn't change anything, still the three bans targeting the jungler!"

"BLG first-picked K'Sante, this definitely has no suspense."

The game of the first round of BP was not as shallow as the commentators saw on the surface.

Tabe's idea was actually very simple.

Whether it's Sylas or Akali, does he dare to let Yagao pick it first and face Ye Bo's counter-pick?

Just thinking about it is very dangerous!

And if it's a ban-one-pick-one, whether Ye Bo picks LeBlanc or Zoe, he has successful cases against these two heroes in laning.

But if they came to the blue side, BLG would still have to bear two ban spots.

Then the advantage of the blue side wouldn't be that big, unable to limit the red side's counter-pick, and the red side could completely easily get two counter-pick OP heroes to build a lineup.

Tabe's thinking was very clear—then just let it all go!

In the end, there is not much difference between letting one go and letting two go; anyway, you can only pick one in a game.

As long as ten heroes are burned through the second game, the BP pressure in the third game will become very small, then the third round will be harmless, no matter which side the red or blue is, there will be no ban pressure.

And relying on K'Sante, which can be grabbed on the blue side, even if the opponent might flex, BLG has a solution.

Take a step back.

If V5 bans Galio, at worst BLG can forcibly flex K'Sante to the mid lane—Yagao's proficiency isn't high, but resisting pressure against Akali is no problem.

So.

When V5 saw the opponent's second ban, they probably guessed that the opponent would let it all go.

The obvious "solution" method is actually to ban Galio and K'Sante one after another, and then BLG's third ban also presses Akali.

But that way, V5's "strategy" couldn't be executed.

V5 conducted sufficient research on this BLG and finally found the biggest "weakness" to defeat this team: the jungler!

It's not that Wei is really that "bad."

After all, thanks to the results of that RNG last year, Wei, as the person with the most league awards in this BLG team, his personal strength is definitely no problem.

The key lies in the integration with this BLG.

In the review, it's not hard to find that when Wei plays jungle carry in this team at the beginning, his performance will be particularly strange, very easy to stick into the jungle and farm for twenty minutes first, and then fake-carry a team fight to end the game.

So V5's tactical thinking in this semi-final—is to force the opposing jungler to only play jungle carry!

To achieve this goal.

V5 needed to press down several versatile utility junglers in the patch and didn't ban Galio.

After all, banning Galio means banning K'Sante together; otherwise, K'Sante can be flexed to the mid lane and is not much different from Galio, at most just making Ye Bo's laning slightly more comfortable.

What Ye Bo chose was to sacrifice his own laning comfort.

Discerning people naturally can see it.

"V5 counter-picked Akali and Kalista directly! Still 'let it open and I'll pick it'!"

"But don't say, the logic of V5 in this game is actually similar to BLG in the previous game, both are exchanging losses in a single lane in the first round of BP for an advantage in the overall BP on the red side!"

"It's just that Jax in the previous game was counter-picked by Gragas, which was a bit miserable, and in this game, there is still Galio outside..."

Tabe naturally saw what the commentary desk could see.

It's just that he saw the opponent's deeper intention.

In fact.

Tabe originally thought V5 would pick a mid-laner in the third pick, or even the second round of BP—because that way they could use the second round of BP support, and even force the blue side to hand over two second-round ban spots.

Anyway, Ye Bo has a deep hero pool, which is also the best solution Tabe could think of by substituting himself into the opponent's position.

But V5 stubbornly picking Akali like this.

Obviously, there is only one purpose.

—Force BLG, if they still want mid-jungle confrontation, then they must pick Galio in the second or third pick!

Then what does picking Galio early mean?

In the situation where the bottom lane heroes have already been burned through a round, it means that BLG's bottom lane duo selection will be greatly restricted in the second round!

As everyone knows.

The strength of the bottom lane depends on the strength of the duo.

Obviously, V5 is not reconciled to just completing the restriction of the jungle position, but also wants to sacrifice the comfort of the mid lane to exchange for an advantage in the bottom lane laning!

Since the 3rd and 4th picks on the red side are picked together, it means they are almost inevitably able to prioritize picking their favorite bottom lane duo!

Tabe couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he still had a look of being in control.

"The blue side picked Galio and Viego for the mid-jungle, and the red side took Sion in the third pick! Both sides enter the second round of bans!"

Second round of bans—

V5: Lulu, Nami

BLG: Kindred, Lee Sin

"BLG is banning Lee Sin, which was just buffed in the patch, and Xun's proficient Kindred, while V5 banned two soft supports..."

"Hmm??? Which unit is this from!"

"Mo Ganna? Never seen her this season, and BLG's lineup doesn't seem to fear anyone..."

"Oh, never mind, after clicking for a long time, V5 finally picked Xin Zhao in the fourth pick, still leaving the support for the fifth pick counter-pick spot."

Guan Zeyuan and Remember seemed not to understand and were still joking.

But Uzi seemed to suddenly understand something...

"Wait... Aiyo, my god! How come V5 seems to be playing 'psychological warfare'!?"

Uzi, who is familiar with the bottom lane ecology, explained: "Renata and Yuumi from the previous game were all pressed down, plus Lulu and Nami, there aren't many protective soft supports left outside!"

"In this BP environment, what BLG can pick is either dual shooters or hard supports."

"But if it's dual shooters, no matter what combination, it's hard to grab an advantage against the Kalista that V5 has already picked!"

"And if it's a hard support... Beryl seems to be telling the opponent, if you have the ability, pick it! Do you believe I have a Mo Ganna?"

Uzi, with a slightly red face, stunned the two people next to him.

But thinking carefully, it seems to make some sense?

Tabe naturally also saw this implication—the opponent is purely "intimidating" him!

BLG's bottom lane also practiced dual shooters.

But in the situation where Varus is already gone, no matter what dual shooters, it's obviously very hard to defeat the Kalista + shooter support combination—and dual shooter bottom lanes are also very easy for Akali to kill wildly!

As for Nautilus, Leona, or even Blitzcrank... they will all be hard-countered by Mo Ganna!

Mo Ganna hasn't appeared once in the S13 Spring Split, belonging to the coldest of the cold.

If V5 hadn't inexplicably flashed her in the fourth pick just now, I guess no one would remember this hero, and no one would care about this hero.

The problem is.

Compared to those "strange" support heroes Beryl uses, would anyone think he can't play Mo Ganna?

The battle of BP is just like this.

You strike a blow, I strike a blow, back and forth, just to see who can't hold on first.

Tabe, who was hit by this blow, obviously had a headache and frowned.

Looking at the few backup options recorded in his little notebook, he finally made up his mind.

"Pick Senna and Tahm Kench, and defend against Akali again."

"This game they are purely an early-game lineup; as long as we can stabilize before twenty minutes, we can win easily later."

"Think about how we won that regular season game; as long as we stabilize this game, the next game will still be our home field..."

Tabe's chicken soup for the team members hadn't even been swallowed yet.

But the hero that lit up in the opponent's fifth pick made his pupils suddenly tremble slightly.

"What hero is this again!?"

"No flexing this time! Shen? Confirmed directly!"

Both sides' lineups confirmed.

《Blue Side: BLG vs Red Side: V5》

【Top: K'Sante vs Sion】

【Jungle: Viego vs Xin Zhao】

【Mid: Galio vs Akali】

【ADC: Senna vs Kalista】

【Support: Tahm Kench vs Shen】

The moment Tabe saw the last hero light up, his eyes were obviously a bit unfocused, looking at the opponent's lineup as if thinking about something.

The referee had already started urging them to leave the stage.

However, Tabe's steps walking off the stage were extremely slow until he reached the steps, and only then did he suddenly widen his eyes.

Broken?

I've been tricked!

"Xiao Wei!" He suddenly turned his head and shouted in surprise: "You must be careful this game! This lineup of theirs is coming for you again!"

The female referee behind almost took out a red card to warn him, only then did she chase Tabe off the stage.

And Tabe, obviously somewhat absent-minded, walked off the stage, came to the middle of the stage, and bumped fists with the head of V5's logistics resources department.

He was still thinking with a tightly frowned brow while walking to the background.

The commentary desk was also analyzing the lineups of both sides at this time.

"This game BLG is purely an iron bucket formation! Three city walls in the top, mid, and bottom! What a solid lineup!"

"V5's side is an Ultraman lineup, which can also be considered their relatively classic lineup..."

"Ultraman lineup" refers to a lineup that is very fierce in the first 15 minutes.

Kalista, Xin Zhao, and heroes like Renekton and Nidalee are all very standard types.

"I feel like the most uncomfortable part of V5's Ultraman lineup is that the mid lane is very hard to play!"

"Not only is the laning counter-picked, but the five people in BLG's lineup can be said to be picked targeting Akali, in the true sense of 'gathering the whole team's strength' to target! It's more ridiculous than Brother Bin's Jax in the previous game!"

"Eh? Where is Tabe going??"

"Hahaha, how did Tabe almost walk to V5's background..."

The commentary desk that was still chatting hotly, and the bullet comments that were arguing, were all amused by the scene transferred by the director on the field.

Only to see Tabe, who was absent-mindedly thinking with his head down, actually walking toward V5's background next door without knowing it!

【Old Wang wants to get sick again, right? Starting by inserting a search ward behind enemy lines】

【Don't be awkward, this is Tabe wanting to go out early to help fight for an advantage, your team's coach can go on stage to play games, what's wrong with our coach inserting a ward!】

【Walking the wrong way while shaking hands is nothing, just don't walk the wrong way after winning, our Biluochun is the most quality team in the LPL, the coach fountain-camping is not advocated, ah~~~】

【Laughing to death, does anyone really think Banlan-gen can win?】

【Hehe, laugh, keep laughing, see if you can still laugh later! The pain my Brother Bin suffered in the previous game, Ye must taste one by one this game!】

【Can the King of Akali and the King of Tops be the same thing? This game will tell Bin what is worthy of being called an expert!】

And in the player seats.

Bin, who had already gone out, was unconsciously pressing Tab, looking at the avatars of Akali and Galio.

As a player who also knows Akali quite well, his thoughts were surging at this moment.

This hero counter-pick should really have no solution, right?
