Chapter 100 4 Bans Mid Laners
Chapter 100 4 Bans Mid Laners
Since Chen Xiao "inspired" Kanavi's playstyle last time, JD Gaming's jungle has become a breeding ground for various teams.
Everyone wants to take action against his F6.
This forced Kanavi to change his playing style, which seems to have been effective.
But Chen Xiao knew that a person's habits couldn't be changed so easily.
Temporary adjustments are merely "locking the stable door after the horse has bolted," and the problem is very likely to resurface under pressure.
"So in the first game, we should focus on probing, limiting Ruler and Missing's hero choices, especially preventing Missing from moving around and helping the jungle."
Maokai nodded.
Chen Xiao's thinking is basically consistent with the direction that the coaching staff has been discussing over the past few days.
Kanavi's biggest problem has never been any particular hero, but rather his hero pool.
Nidalee, Vi, Xin Zhao, Maokai, Wukong, and even some less popular junglers can be picked.
It's unrealistic to think that banning these kinds of players will completely limit them.
In that case, why not invest resources in areas where they are more likely to generate returns?
The bottom lane is currently JDG's most stable position.
The combination of Ruler and Missing almost entirely underpinned the lower limit of JD.com's performance in the later stages.
If they are restricted, Kanavi's attempts to do things will be significantly hampered.
"Can."
Maokai made the decision immediately.
"Leave the mid lane completely unaffected."
"We've researched the toothpaste's hero pool, so don't panic, trust Chen Xiao."
"All bans should be given to the bot lane."
Chen Xiao didn't speak, but simply moved her fingers slightly.
Toothpaste might be a hassle for some people.
But for him now, that doesn't really apply.
The decline in reaction speed due to age is an objective fact.
What's more, he also has Hextech enhancements.
He's confident he can control the lane as long as he gets the right hero!
At the same time, BP officially began.
The large screen at the scene lit up.
Both coaches stood behind their players.
Miller looked at the screen and said, "It's here, it's here."
"The first round of ban/pick phase has officially begun!"
Zeyuan chimed in: "TES is on the blue side, JDG is on the red side."
"Let's see what both sides do in the first round of bans."
TES made the first move.
Skate shoes were immediately banned.
Many audience members immediately nodded in agreement.
That's perfectly normal.
Ruler's skateboard shoes are definitely his signature item.
The second pick was Lothar, and the third was Varus.
All three bans were given to the bottom lane, and the purpose couldn't be clearer.
【？？？？？】
Holy crap, all three bans are for the bot lane!
Are Top Esports players really that afraid of Ruler and Missing?
Is it possible that everyone else on JD.com is not a threat, and only their bottom lane needs attention?
[Kanavi—Okay, forget about the F6 Sage!]
【————】
As the comments section closed, JD.com's ban slots were confirmed.
Lucian.
Zhao Xin.
Little Cannon.
The three avatars went dark one by one.
A gasp of surprise immediately rang out from the crowd.
Miller nodded.
"Redmi's strategy is very targeted."
"Lucian and Tristana are both champions that Lucifer excels at. He just carried the game with Lucian in the last best-of-three series, so he definitely needs to be taken seriously!"
"Furthermore, Lucian is one of JackeyLove's top three champions in terms of win rate this season. If Top Esports picks him first, there's still a possibility of flexibility!"
"Zhao Xin is Xiaotian's best rhythm point recently."
Zeyuan nodded and said, "And these three heroes have one thing in common."
"The synergy between the mid and jungle players is exceptionally strong."
"It seems JDG is very wary of TES's mid-jungle synergy!"
In the players' seat, Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the screen.
Redmi truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier coach, with exceptional ability to adapt to any situation!
But it's not a big problem.
They had already prepared quite a lot of things for the training matches these past few days.
"Grab the big trees first."
Maokai did not hesitate at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, 369 locked onto the Twisted Treant.
Maokai's thinking was very clear.
First, take control of the jungle.
Regardless of the choices made later, the big tree can ensure that the team has a stable ability to initiate team fights and scout vision.
It's JDG's turn to select players.
After a moment's thought, Redmi quickly made its selection.
Wei, Ah Li.
A classic mid-jungle duo!
Vi locks in her ultimate, Ahri follows up with her three short ultimates.
Basically, anyone can be instantly killed by a lock-on lock!
Upon seeing this, the audience instantly became lively.
"They're here!"
"Classic Vi and Ahri!"
"JDG's mid-jungle duo has consistently had a high win rate."
"The control chain is very stable."
"If an opportunity is seized, it's easy to achieve a swift victory."
'
""
Seeing JD.com's two options, Maokai quickly determined its second and third choices.
Draven and Titan are locked in!
The cheers from the crowd instantly rose to a fever pitch.
Ah Shui could barely suppress the smile on his face.
"That feels good, finally I can chop one more time!"
Draven is one of his most confident champions; picking him makes him feel incredibly confident.
Furthermore, with Lucian, Kalista, and Varus all currently banned, there are very few AD carries who can easily counter Draven!
Titan is also one of Meiko's signature champions—one of the few tanky support champions that's worth watching.
The meaning behind this combination is clear—the bottom lane must gain an advantage, seize lane control, and put heavy pressure on the opponent's top lane!
Redmi also responded quickly.
Kai'Sa!
It's also one of Ruler's high win rate heroes!
The combination of Ahri and Vi making their entrance is quite fierce.
Furthermore, Kai'Sa's ability to take over the game in the mid-to-late game is stronger than Draven's!
Although they are not as good as Draven and Nautilus in the early laning phase, they have a significantly higher margin for error and are extremely strong in team fights, making it easier for them to find their positions.
After the first round of bans and picks, both sides entered the second round of bans.
Minotaur, Riel — Maokai continues to block Missing's casting options!
JDG continued to ban Taliyah and Azir, with a fairly clear objective.
"JDG's draft was so targeted! Lucian, Tristana, Taliyah, Azir—all the champions Lucifer is proficient with have had their influence completely neutralized!"
"Is the first match going to test your hero pool?"
'
"I wonder if he has any ideas on how to deal with this?"
The live stream chat was also scrolling wildly.
Redmi is starting to make a strong push!
【Four bans for mid lane, right?】
Lucifer is getting the best treatment ever!
Is JD.com treating him like Knight, trying to defend against him?
Is it really necessary to target a newcomer like this?
【…
.】
Kanavi thought the same thing. He looked at Redmi and asked, puzzled, "Coach, is it really necessary to pay so much attention to the opposing mid laner? Clearly—"
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
Is it necessary to pay this much attention to a rookie mid laner?
Although they performed well in the regular season, it was still just the regular season.
In response to everyone's questions, Redmi adjusted his glasses and said, "I've told you before that the engine of Top Esports' rhythm is actually the mid laner."
"Xiaotian's invasion and the advantage on the side lanes both depend on Lucifer's lane control and support."
He spent countless nights studying match videos and figured out this point.
Although he was also reluctant to believe it, judging from the various data...
But the biggest threat to Top Esports right now is definitely in the mid lane!
That's why he chose such a targeted BP!
"Let's give it a try. Maybe his hero pool isn't deep, and we can ban him all."
""
Redmi optimistically thought that if they could find a way to crush Chen Xiao, that would be great.
The following matches were much easier to handle!
