Chapter 39: A powerful opening move?! The first championship skin! [Requesting monthly votes and to
On the Samsung team's side.
For some reason, the ruler suddenly shivered.
"Why do I suddenly feel a little cold!" he muttered to himself.
"Is Jaehyuk hyung catching a cold?" BDD asked casually.
"No." Ruler shook his head. "It's just that I suddenly had this feeling, like I was being watched by some wild beast."
"Alright, that's enough, the match has started." Tom, the coach, spoke up, interrupting the discussion.
……
In the first game, T1, on the blue side, had the right to pick first, while Samsung, on the red side, had the final counter pick.
However, in League of Legends, the blue side has always had the upper hand and its win rate has consistently been higher than that of the red side.
Even though Riot Games has always tried to balance the win rates on both sides, it has never been able to achieve true equality.
Of course, as long as you are strong enough, red and blue are both minor problems in your eyes.
In the first round of player removal, T1 mainly targeted the opponent's jungler, while Samsung slightly targeted Lee Sang-hyeok in the mid lane.
After all, everyone knows that Lee Sang-hyeok is the core of T1, only T1 itself doesn't know it.
Of course, with Lee Doo-hwan's return, this statement is no longer so absolute.
"Do you need me to help you find Qiyana?"
After the first round of relocation was completed, Kim Jung-soo asked Lee Doo-hwan a question.
He knew that even if he specified a choice, the other party would not obediently comply, so in order to avoid losing face in front of the younger generation, he directly asked, so that there would be no awkwardness.
"Jung-soo, are you the coach or is hyung the coach?!"
"If you ask me everything, what's the point of having you? The team costs so much money; we're not here to support useless idiots!"
Lee Doo-hwan's words made Kim Jung-soo's lips twitch involuntarily.
"Let's take Qiyana first!"
"no."
Kim Jung-soo: "..."
Is this even human?
I asked you what you wanted to steal, and you let me decide. Then I made a decision, and you disagreed with me!
Aishobashi!
Kim Jung-soo felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.
"Sang-hyeok, what do you think we should take first?" Lee Doo-hwan asked.
"Ryze, please."
"Then Ryze."
……
"Oh? T1 picked Ryze first, I wonder how Samsung will respond." Roaring Emperor said casually.
Faced with T1's first pick of Ryze, Samsung quickly made a decision, picking Rumble and Qiyana instead.
Last year at the S9 World Championship, FPX's mid laner Doinb brought Rumble to the mid lane, which has led to the current Rumble being able to be played flexibly.
Seeing that the enemy team had Rumble and Qiyana, T1 also locked in the bottom lane, helping Gu Shengbin get Lucian and giving the support Lee Sang-ho a Braum.
With Samsung's third pick helping Ruler acquire an Aphelios, both sides entered the second round of tossing.
The second round of bans was simpler than the first round. Since Lee Doo-hwan hadn't released a hero yet, Samsung directly gave both bans to the jungler.
In contrast, T1 gave all of them Samsung's support player, Life.
After the second round of player removal, Samsung, on the red side, directly picked Lulu for their support Life in the fourth pick to ensure that there would be no problems in the bot lane laning phase.
When it was T1's turn to pick, the Roaring Emperor also spoke up.
"I wonder what heroes T1 will give Sun. Judging from their first three picks, T1 probably wants to focus on the early to mid-game."
As we were talking, a familiar hero appeared on the screen.
"I will make your dreams come true with my own hands!!!"
……
"The Blind Monk?" The Roaring Emperor's eyes lit up when he saw this.
Because this is Lee Doo-hwan's first championship skin!
Back then, he used Lee Sin to dominate all the teams in the S3 World Championship!
In the final against Royal Club, he nearly caused White, who claimed to be on par with Lee Sang-hyeok, to have a mental breakdown.
So much so that later, when Wu Wukai discussed the match with netizens during his live stream, he would always keep complaining.
"Bro, do you guys know that Lee Sin is seriously insane?"
That night, every time I closed my eyes, I saw Lee Sin's big foot kicking at me!
……
As Lee Sin secured the kill, the audience both at the scene and in the live stream became excited.
[Damn it, Doo-hwan went all out right from the start?! Are you even letting the other team have a chance?!]
[My heart is breaking, everyone! After all these years, we finally see Doo-hwan's Lee Sin on the field again!]
[I feel like his Lee Sin wasn't all that great; it's just that people back then didn't know how to play him.]
[Chicken grit is still hating, my Huan-ge is gone, you, Timely Rain, should first make it to the World Championship, don't even miss the chance to face him~]
[Huan Xiaojiang is causing trouble, he's pulling out all the stops right from the start, I won't go into the composition of his hero pool!]
[Understandable, not everyone is a top-tier player like Brother Sun!]
……
After locking in Lee Sin, Canna was given Aatrox in the top lane.
When it was Samsung's turn to pick, they hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not pick Rumble for the top lane, instead helping their top laner Rascal get Ornn.
With the final pick locked in, the lineups for both sides were revealed to the audience.
T1's top laner is Aatrox, jungler is Lee Sin, mid laner is Ryze, and bot laners are Lucian and Braum.
Samsung's top laner is Ornn, jungler is Qiyana, mid laner is Rumble, and bot lane consists of Aphelios and Lulu.
……
When entering the game.
Lee Doo-hwan also spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Zhangdong, they picked Ornn for top lane this game."
This means that he wasn't very interested in you initially.
"Aatrox has a relatively easy time against Ornn, so don't let me down!"
"Don't worry, Doo-hwan hyung!" Kim Chang-dong quickly assured him.
……
After entering the game,
T1 showed no mercy, relying on Braum's presence, and openly chose to invade Samsung's lower jungle.
Samsung was clearly prepared, since T1's lineup has no late-game potential, so they definitely need to play aggressively in the early game.
So the five of them lay in ambush in the grass by the river, hoping to catch the enemy off guard.
Although their lineup lacks crowd control at level one, it would be excellent if they could force the opponent to use Flash, at least better than being forced to switch jungle camps and do nothing.
Looking at the Blind Monk leading the way, and then at the five Samsung players already lying in ambush in the bushes, the commentator, Roaring Emperor, couldn't help but speak up.
"Sun's Lee Sin is moving a little too fast. Although Samsung doesn't have any crowd control at level one, if he continues to move forward, he might get forced to use his Flash, or at the very least, he'll take a lot of damage. In that case, it might not be so easy to trade jungle camps!"
However, just as he said that...
The blind monk on the big screen suddenly stopped!
