In the first match against GAM, information about several players of this team flashed quickly in my mind.

Levi!

Lin Shuyang's eyes finally locked on GAM's jungler.

I don’t know if there is really some metaphysics in LOL, but the Vietnamese region is home to many jungle kings. In the past there was the richest man Saofen, and now there is Levi.

There is no need to say much about the operation of a man who can be called the Vietnamese jungle king. The audiences in major regions got to know this man better at MSI this year. In the qualifying round, he used Lee Sin to perform a god-level operation of grabbing the dragon with five keys in one second. The speed of his hands and the accuracy of his operation were astonishing. The audience may just watch the fun, but from the perspective of this group of insiders, this operation also fully demonstrated this man's deep understanding and skillful use of the hero's skill mechanism.

The Lee Sin who can press five keys in one second, the Kayn who has a terrifying jungle-clearing speed, the Eternal Nightmare who appears and disappears like a ghost, the Monkey King, the Maokai, the Dragon Lady...even Jax, whose career advancement basically only appears in the top unit, can allow him to play the jungle position in a variety of ways. His hero pool is very deep!

What Lin Shuyang is more concerned about is that Levi also has a certain command ability. He can make correct decisions according to the situation during the game. Relying on his overall understanding of the game and tactical awareness, he can often quickly formulate reasonable counterattack plans when facing disadvantages in the game against strong teams.

Therefore, we can often see GAM using the outrageous tactic of four players protecting one jungler.

In other words, the strength of other players in the region cannot keep up. The strong teams all know how to target the jungle area. This is one of the main reasons why Levi has been on the edge of the World Championship every year.

The Garlic Turtle in his own team is a player of the same type as him.

It can be expected that if Xiaotian can defeat the opponent in the jungle position in the two games of the group stage, he will usher in another period of growth.

"Should we ban Kayn?" asked Jin Gong on the first floor.

Thanks to the two analysts that Lin Shuyang recruited from Samsung's training group to TES, the players know the hero pools of GAM players very well.

"I think we can ban him. I've encountered him in rank before. He clears the jungle too fast and it's easy to interrupt our rhythm." BeryL held the same opinion.

Able and Da'an from the team kept their mouths shut tacitly. They were not the kind of players who were good at making tactical decisions. They just waited to see what Xiaotian thought.

Garlic Turtle pursed his lips and said, "Brother Yang, I want to confront him head-on."

"May I?"

There was a glimmer of hope in the young man's eyes.

"Of course, go for it."

Lin Shuyang answered without hesitation, "They only have one jungler. You have to trust your teammates."

"able, you and BeryL can provide more support. The opponent prefers four players protecting one jungler, so they probably won't make a fuss about Xayah and Rakan."

"Hehe, great!" able was overjoyed.

In the first group match, they were on the red side, and GAM was the first to ban the Prince.

All the way to the play-in rounds, he really has to thank those teams for underestimating him. Xayah and Rakan, who other teams couldn't even touch, have a selection rate of almost 60% when they come to him.

"Come on, Xiaotian. We believe in you. Let's fight him head-on. Let's see whether our TES top, mid and jungle are better, or his GAM's four protecting one jungler strategy is stronger."

Jin Gong put Spear of Vengeance on the ban position on the first floor.

In the monster version of the Censer, even though this equipment has been urgently nerfed by Riot, in the world championship, its combat effectiveness is still strong when paired with the Spear of Vengeance, and it has become a fixed choice for the red team.

Soon, the results of the first three bans and picks for both sides were announced.

GAM bans on the blue side: Jarvan, Jayce, and Sejuani.

Red side TES bans: Kalista, Galio, and Crocodile.

"Hey, isn't there a ban here, Master Guang? Why is it so difficult to do BP on the red side in the current version? In addition to Kalista, Xayah and Rakan also need to be considered for dismantling. There are actually very few positions left for ban."

"Hiss, actually the core carry point of the GAM team is not in the bottom lane, but if Xayah and Rakan are released..."

In the commentary booth, Haier Brothers expressed their incomprehension of the two teams' first three BPs.

"Hey, if that doesn't work, just take one on each side. If you're on the blue side, I'll take down your Xia. Anyway, Able's Xia proficiency is high enough."

"Barrel?"

Before the two could continue talking, a chubby Gragas's head appeared on the first floor of GAM and kept flashing.

GAM's first floor can't choose between Xayah and Rakan, leaving them with jungler and support

Since several junglers were banned in the first three rounds, there are very few jungle heroes left in this version.

There is not much point in choosing Xayah, and choosing Rakan does not match GAM's tactical system. Their support players are more inclined to be protective soft supports, well, not the kind that protects the mid lane, but the kind that protects the jungler.

The reason why Lin Shuyang released Xayah and Rakan was that he was certain that after GAM made such a first three BPs, they would definitely give priority to their own jungler heroes or the supports who could ensure their roaming dragons in team battles.

"Changed, changed, changed to Lulu!"

"Just pick Lulu first? It seems like GAM doesn't really like picking Rakan."

Niu Boyi!

When they saw GAM give up on Luo on the first floor and choose Lulu, a first-class support with soft support and mid-range protection ability, several players sitting there gave thumbs up to their coach.

Prophet, please accept our knees, we are strong.

"Washi, Xia." Lin Shuyang, who made the correct prediction, did not show any extra expression.

At the moment, the opponent's support hero has been determined, and Xayah and Rakan are already stable. It is the best choice to help Xiaotian determine a Gragas with good initiative. [Tsk tsk, GAM must not have paid attention to the qualifying round. ]

[able looks down on you guys in the bottom lane, give him a couple of earwaxes right away. 】

[It's good to play Xayah and Rakan. It's great to play Xayah and Rakan. Originally, TES was most worried that the bottom lane would have problems, but you gave me a perfect version and sent it to me. Thank you so much. ]

[What GAM said, this team should not have the training team in charge of BP. 】

In fact, there were not many teams with complete training groups in S7.

GAM has a coach, but it is obviously unlikely to have a complete training and competition team like SKT. Anyone who is careful in BP can see it at a glance.

They don't care what their opponents have, they are more concerned about having a comfortable time.

If you are not sure about the version, please read the following first.

After TES made their first and second floor selections, GAM immediately locked on the Kog'Maw, who was very compatible with Lulu, and the TO tank Cho'Gate on the top unit.

The right to choose was back again. Da'an didn't let Lin Shuyang waste any more words and quickly found Luo to choose for his own assistant.

This is an obvious BP.

After Riot introduced the five-ban mode this year, each position not only needs to consider how to avoid being countered by the opponent's heroes as much as possible, but also has to pay attention to the order of selection. For example, at this moment, the first round of BP is about to end, and the selection of the third floor is basically set on support heroes.

If you don't take it, not to mention that other locations will be locked, people will think of countermeasures in advance, and others on the fourth or fifth floor can press it for you.

"They haven't chosen a jungler yet. Hehe, I think they really want to play Kaiying."

"That's normal. They mainly rely on the jungler as the carry, either Nightmare or Kayn. Choose one of the two."

In the second round of BP, GAM blocked Taliyah and GimGoon's Gnar. Lin Shuyang thought about it for a while, and then added Nightmare as a banned pick and followed Lee Sin into the small black room.

Levi can also play Cho'’s jungler, but facing the equally strong Xiaotian and TES, GAM, who want to qualify, cannot lose to their own team and IMT, so Cho'’s jungler is not a good choice.

After the ban was completed, TES instantly locked the mid laner Syndra, not giving GAM more time to think.

"Sindra?"

On the other side, in the GAM player seat, the players were a little confused after seeing Syndra.

"Levi!"

"Blind Monk is banned."

"Let's go with Kayn. I don't think Nidalee is playable."

"can."

"Okay then, I'll play Ryze to support you."

Just as the players outside the field thought, GAM is really not good at restricting opponents in BP. They think more about how to play their own lineup well.

Kayn + Ryze!
"Oh, this is GAM's best play. Kayn is picked directly."

"On the other hand, our leader, after confirming that you, Kayn, are the jungler, picked Shen on the fifth floor. It's a perfect lineup."

The two sides began to exchange heroes.

GAM on the blue side: top lane Cho'Z, jungle Kayn, mid lane Ryze, bottom lane Kog'Maw and Lulu.

Red side TES: top lane Shen, jungle Gragas, mid lane Syndra, bottom lane Xayah and Rakan.

When the lineup was locked, the LPL live broadcast room suddenly became lively.

[Fuck, the red team can use such a lineup, Vietnamese brother, don’t you buy yourself a loss? ]

[It's outrageous. The jungle Gragas, bottom lane Xayah and Rakan, the guys in the play-in tournament have never been so stubborn. ]

[It can only be said that the coaching teams of both sides are not at the same level at all. 】

[Don't get too cocky, the Vietnamese jungler's Kayn is pretty good. ]

The audience's consideration is actually not wrong at all. The top lane Cho'Z is not as tanky as imagined before his ultimate is stacked. With the double control of Gragas and Shen, it is not difficult to catch him in the top lane.

At the same time, the mid laner on the red side is Syndra. The Queen in Black Silk, as the line bully, cooperates with Gragas to fight against the combination of Ryze and Kayn without any pressure at all.

At the same time, the bottom lane combination is Kog'Maw and Lulu, who are good at defense but lack initiative; to put it bluntly, there is no one who can initiate a team fight, and everyone can't figure out how GAM relies on team fights.

"Don't let your guard down. The opponent is very good at setting up first-level strategies."

Lin Shuyang didn't rush to take off his headphones and leave this time. He gave an additional reminder: "Don't worry if you fall into a disadvantage. The opponent's core strategy is to continuously squeeze the jungle area and further improve the development of jungler Levi. Pay attention to support in the lane, and be careful of Kayn coming to steal energy."

"No matter how many last hits you get or how well you develop, as long as your transformation speed is slow, Kayn will be holding his teammates hostage if he has no rhythm in the early stage."

He is well aware of the pros and cons of this hero who is very popular in the casual games but is often on the bench in professional competitions. Frankly speaking, as long as his transformation and energy absorption mechanism is not changed, he will never become a darling in the professional arena.

"Players, please confirm your summoner skills and talents."

The BP countdown ended, Lin Shuyang made way for the referee and turned to leave. (End of this chapter)
