Chapter 320
"Both sides feel full of confidence, the smell of gunpowder has already risen before fighting!"
The live stream camera cut back to the commentary desk, Guan Zeyuan casually pulled up a topic for the two people beside him: "So who will you be more optimistic about today, Kid God first?"
Kid God, who was cued, thought about it, didn't expect the answer to be really a bit unexpected: "Actually, I am still more optimistic about V5!"
"After all, everyone knows that V5's record this year is a bit scary, although WBG won once by luck before, but from the perspective of paper strength, except for the top lane, there are still some gaps..."
Some confused audience members were full of question marks, wondering if this guy had changed his nature.
Actually not!
Kid God, who lives in the largest barbecue shop on the whole network, knows very well that things like "pre-match prediction" have no public opinion effect at all, no matter who you are optimistic about, there is a possibility of being slapped in the face later.
On the contrary, the more optimistic most people are about a certain team, and even the more public opinion leans to one side.
The more it will appear in the double-loss situation of "winning is what should have been won, what is there to blow → losing is a super CJB!"
It's a pity that Kid God's scheme was seen through by Angel who was guarding next to him.
"Then I am different from Kid God, I am very optimistic about WBG!" Angel also seemed to be analyzing with reason and evidence.
"On one hand, after all, this is my former team, it must be my main team... On the other hand, Kid God just said that WBG actually has a big advantage lane, especially the top-laner!"
Kid God's face turned green instantly.
This is poking his "soft rib"!
It's still the same logic, the more public opinion leans to one side before the game, the more blood loss it is for the dominant side—being said like this, wouldn't TheShy have to take the blame if he doesn't carry in this game!?
He immediately argued: "You can't say that, Teacher An! Brother Flandre is our first domestic champion top-laner, and even the first domestic double-champion top-laner! And I heard that TheShy's hand injury has recurred recently and his state is not very good..."
"Kid God, when you say this, I remember, Brother Flandre's hand injury also seems to have recurred recently, it seems to be the time when he was beaten by Brother Shy in the matchup last time..."
Guan Zeyuan tried his best to hold back his laughter in the middle, watching the two blow each other wildly.
Fortunately, a crisp sound came to break the deadlock.
"The BP of the first game of the final has started!"
"V5 is better in the coin toss, and came to the blue side in the first game, sending Renekton to the ban position first!"
Both sides' first round of bans:
V5: Renekton, Varus, Xayah
WBG: Akali, Viego, Poppy
"Blue side snatches K'Sante first, while Red side gets Aphelios and Vi to exchange!"
"V5 takes Jinx and Neeko, while WBG chooses Milio to confront the strong opening, the first round of bans for both sides proceeded very quickly!"
Thanks to the tricks of Qiyana against Neeko before, everyone soon discovered that Ding Zhen's Q also has a similar effect!
Not to mention that even if it fails to repel and interrupt, since the new version of Neeko's ultimate is mainly a {binding} effect, Ding Zhen can also use the ultimate 【Group Purification】 to crack it directly.
WBG was able to reach this step, Coach Daeny is definitely an indispensable figure, and naturally there will be no regular mistakes in the BP end, and the first three picks are also relatively common version choices.
Clearly, the real game point of this BO5 final will only be on the "preparation" of both sides.
Second round of bans—
WBG: Sylas, Wukong
V5: Jax, Gwen
"WBG still has top and mid not out, don't know who they will leave the counter position to... Red glasses!?"
"Locked! Then this must be top-lane Vayne, it can't be Xiaohu's Vayne!"
"Confidence from TheShy!!"
Screams erupted instantly everywhere at the scene, and the barrage also rioted immediately.
But to be honest, K'Sante lit up on the first floor, and the possibility of swinging to the mid-lane in the current version is not high, so there is really no need for the top lane to take the counter position.
It's just that Daeny's consideration might be to stabilize the mid-lane.
After all, the opponent's mid-laner hasn't come out yet.
And K'Sante has been rampant for nearly a year in S13, and despite multiple version nerfs, it still stands at the phantom level, known for "almost having no natural enemies."
But if you must say one "natural enemy"...
Vayne.
Definitely deserves the name!
K'Sante's tankiness has no thickness in front of Vayne, and his own relatively clumsy tank mechanism is exactly what Vayne likes, destined to be dizzy, and the side lane in the mid-game is completely unplayable!
It's just that, although everyone knows the restraint of this matchup.
But everyone knows even better how high the risk coefficient of playing this thing in the top lane is!
And TheShy being able to choose various "strange heroes" to execute tactics is also a trump card in Daeny's hand, and one of the key factors for WBG to reach here.
TheShy's Vayne is undoubtedly trustworthy!
Ye Bo also has quite a lot of cognition about this—because just not long ago, he had just personally fought against the opponent's Vayne in a ranked game with Varus top, and truly felt the opponent's laning.
It was also after the broadcast that night that he specifically communicated with Brother Flandre...
And the restlessness at the scene hadn't subsided, and after seeing V5's fourth and fifth picks, it instantly erupted into an even higher wave of sound!
"Is it Talon! The second brand-new assassin Master Ye brought out in the playoffs!"
"V5 finally chose Talon and Nocturne mid-jungle, they also brought out a very rare response strategy!"
"Both sides can see that the preparation for this final is quite sufficient!"
Daeny also showed a surprised expression, and a clear two-character mouth shape could be seen on the live stream screen.
He could understand the jungle Nocturne, it is a relatively comfortable choice against Vi in the jungle, and it can be considered a combination of rushing the formation.
But Talon was indeed unexpected.
He thought about the heroes Ye Bo might choose: for example, Qiyana who shone brightly before, or major magic-damage mages like Orianna and Emperor, or even LeBlanc and Tristana who are not very strong in the version...
Originally Daeny wanted the mid-lane to choose a counter matchup, and this hand really disrupted his plan.
"Xiaohu, Galio's laning will be very uncomfortable, can you?" Daeny spoke to his new favorite general, explaining.
"We need a front-row that can play support and prevent strong opening, otherwise Talon and Nocturne will be a huge threat to our dual-shooter back row later."
Although Galio playing against AD heroes won't be comfortable in laning, and can even be said to be very uncomfortable.
But clearly, he is extremely restraining heroes like Talon and Nocturne who need "physical body entry"!
"No problem." Xiaohu gave the firm look in the promotional video again.
Daeny didn't dare to look directly at that look, fearing to destroy the serious atmosphere, quickly finalized and put away the notebook and prepared to go to shake hands.
Before leaving, he was still constantly instructing something...
Both sides' lineups determined:
"Blue side: V5 vs Red side: WBG"
【Top: Pride of Nazumah vs Night Hunter】
【Jungle: Eternal Nightmare vs Piltover Enforcer】
【Mid: Shadow of the Blade vs Justice Colossus】
【Shooter: Jinx vs Aphelios】
【Support: Neeko vs Milio】
The game entered the loading stage, and the commentary desk was still talking about the rare choices of both sides.
In fact, Talon mid was not rare in matches before the Mythic version, and it disappeared overnight after the Mythic version.
A large part of the reason is that the rework of "Tiamat" led to insufficient early-game pushing ability, and the roaming ability he relied on for survival was greatly affected.
It wasn't until S12 when the "First Strike" rune came out that Talon ushered in the second spring.
