Chapter 369: T1's secret weapon?

The host stepped down, the players from both sides prepared to appear, and the perspective shifted to the live commentary desk.

"Welcome back, everyone!"

The Roaring Emperor's face, which never misses, appeared in the center of the stage, with two equally "familiar" old T1 meritorious players, Bang and Wolf, sitting next to him.

He took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Today's match can be said to have a sense of destiny. I remember the group stage match between T1 and EDG last year, it seems the two of you also came as guests, right?"

Bang showed a slightly awkward smile: "Yes, that match last year was really a pity..."

Wolf, on the other hand, said with full confidence: "That's why the two of us specifically applied to come today. We must come today to avenge last year's grudge!"

"T1 will definitely be able to complete their revenge today!"

"Oh?" The Roaring Emperor followed up: "In that case, both of you have a lot of confidence in today's T1. Could it be that T1 has some secret weapon today?"

Bang, worried that his loose-lipped support would say the wrong thing, quickly interrupted: "T1 definitely has many secret weapons every year at the World Championship, but it's hard to say whether they will use them in this match, after all, this is just a BO1 in the group stage."

The Roaring Emperor, of course, knew his limits and immediately changed the subject to look at the pre-match data on the screen.

The hexagram attribute charts of the members of the two teams were compared and released.

"On the top lane side, our Zeus God King has advantages in all data! It's no exaggeration to say he is leading in all aspects. I think the top lane duel will definitely be a sharp weapon for T1 today, just like..."

The exuberant Roaring Emperor originally wanted to mention the case of winning during the "Asian Games."

But as the words reached his lips, he immediately realized that this was their biggest wound and slammed on the brakes: "Ahem, the junglers are evenly matched, it can be said that they have their own wins and losses. Speaking of which, Xun is indeed a player type quite similar to Oner."

"Then there's the mid laner, uh, Ye's data here is indeed more luxurious..."

Hearing the Roaring Emperor's suddenly lowered volume, and seeing the strange expressions of the two people next to him, one knew.

It was more than just a little luxurious.

If Zeus on the top lane was only "leading in all aspects," but the data in various items, especially in participation rate, was not much different.

Then the data chart for the mid lane could definitely be called "comprehensive suppression"!

It wasn't that Faker's data was too bad, it was just that almost all the data points on the hexagram on the right were at the top, and compared to it, the gap seemed obvious.

"However, our bot lane still has some advantages!" The Roaring Emperor ignored it at light speed and made no evaluation at all.

"These two young players, Guma and Keria, have improved their laning ability quite a bit in the Summer Split, and can even often gain the upper hand against Viper, who is known for laning against GEN, and laning is precisely a point that V5's bot duo is not so good at!"

"I believe the bot lane is also a point where T1 can exert force today!"

The commentary desk analyzed for a while, and the conclusion was that the advantage was on their side.

Although looking at the head-to-head record of the two teams this year, this statement was somewhat empty, but there were not a few viewers who had "superstition" about T1 at the World Championship, and they all shouted to cheer them on.

And with the crisp sound of the BP, the atmosphere of the main stage was finally completely heated up!

"Blue side T1, Red side V5!"

"Right from the start, T1 still banned Akali first, but as the blue side, they don't need to invest extra ban slots, and V5 also sent Neeko to the ban slot first!"

With the start of the BP.

The players in the back area, who were a bit tired after staying up until the last match, all sat up straight, pulled themselves together, and looked at the screen seriously.

For everyone present, this match was "crucial."

After all, just from the results of the first match between V5 and DK yesterday, what was shown had already changed the competitive environment—today, many teams have started to use the Summer Split system again, and some have even abandoned the patch understanding of the top lane as the core.

The World Championship has just set sail, and everyone, including V5 and T1, is still in the process of building and perfecting their patch understanding, and there is still infinite possibility for evolution.

The people in the back area, of course, also wanted to absorb things beneficial to themselves from the matches of these two teams.

"BB, if your 2-0 group can draw V5, do you dare not ban Akali?"

A player with an NRG team badge on his chest, looking like he was of Indian descent, was chatting with G2 top laner BB.

"What's there to dare! If they draw us at 2-0, just watch. We have an ultimate move!" BrokenBlade didn't seem to be affected by the ups and downs of today's opening match, and his mentality was excellent.

The Indian-descent player continued to tease: "Hhh, keep bragging. You almost lost to the LPL's fourth seed today. If you really play the first seed, wouldn't you be crushed?"

"First seed? I'm playing the first seed!"

BB crossed his arms with an indifferent expression: "As if we G2 haven't crushed the LPL's first seed before~~~"

The Indian-descent player curled his lips when he heard this big talk, but inside he was actually full of envy.

His name is Dhokla, he is already an old player of 27 years old, but he hadn't achieved any results before, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a small transparent in the league's professional scene.

The only time in his life he entered the World Championship was this year's NRG.

Unfortunately, it looks like even the quarterfinals are a stretch.

He knew that perhaps he wouldn't even have a job next year and could only end his professional career, relying on his relationship with the owner of a team called {100T} to retire and go there to be some top lane substitute or assistant coach...

Who wouldn't want to have a chance to play against the LPL's first seed?

The first round of bans for both sides in the arena has been completed—

T1: Akali, Caitlyn, Varus

V5: Neeko, Rumble, Gwen

"If T1 chooses to self-ban Varus, then they probably aren't planning to prioritize the bot lane—wait, are they going to pick K'Sante!?" the Roaring Emperor shouted in surprise.

"Locked! Is K'Sante really still worth a first pick on the blue side!?"

This move, let alone the commentary desk, didn't understand.

Even the V5 on the opposite side was stunned for a moment.

It could be seen from the first match where they chose K'Sante.

Although this hero's strength is still online due to the return of values, let alone T0, even in the T1 queue, it doesn't count as a high-priority choice.

The main thing is that this thing has almost no operational ceiling now, and anyone who sees it has to say "stupidly outrageous."

It would be fine for someone like Sheng Qiang Ge who is good at playing tank utility heroes—but if it's given to Zeus, who is known for "mechanics," wouldn't that be equivalent to cutting off one's own arm at the start?

"Jiehei Ge, is there a possibility it's mid?" Beryl guessed keenly.

"We choose our own, just see what cards they want to play." Ye Bo was confident and made the decision directly without much struggle.

V5 backhanded and took Renekton + Jarvan IV, which can be said to be the most aggressive top-jungle combination in the patch.

And the opposite T1 clicked very quickly, immediately choosing Kalista + Renata for the bot lane, as if they had a clear idea.

Bang on the commentary desk finally saw the clues of the home team.

"They are certain that V5 definitely won't not grab this top-jungle combination, but this way there is no extra space to take double shooters, at most take one Ashe... This way T1 can impose restrictions in the second round of BP, and can even choose heroes that target double shooters, ensuring the advantage of the bot lane!"

"Although I don't quite understand the choice of grabbing K'Sante, perhaps it's grabbing instead of banning? But this move is definitely no problem!"

V5 in the arena also saw the opponent's idea.

Taking a bot lane hero first will definitely be dismantled in the second round of BP, not to mention it's easy to be targeted and countered at the 4th and 5th picks.

And although Kalista + Renata is also not a strong combination in the patch, it is definitely a "strong laning" combination, especially in the hands of T1's bot duo, there is actually no particularly good combination to play against it.

"Is it Yone again?"

"This Yone from V5 might also want to grab instead of ban. After all, Zeus's Yone in the last match was also very eye-catching, so it's no problem..."

But when the T1 members saw the appearance of this Yone, deep in their eyes, they all seemed to show joy. ===== CHAPTER 370 =====
