Chapter 89

"Alright, players, take your positions, and let's begin the BAN phase!" the host's voice echoed.

The match officially started, and the venue immediately fell silent, exuding a sense of solemnity and seriousness.

"Oh, the Dawn Team's first BAN is the Card Master!!" the host's voice rose a few decibels!

The Dawn Team's move caused a murmur of surprise throughout the venue.

In the match between the Tian Da Team and the Blood Red Team, Yu Luosheng's Card Master had dominated the entire game. Anyone who had watched that match would be wary of the Card Master.

The Dawn Team did not give Yu Luosheng the chance to pick the Card Master, banning him as their first choice.

"Truly a pity, I thought we could see that magical Card Master performance again... However, this clearly shows that the Blood Red Team's AP player poses a significant threat to the Dawn Team's championship." the host commented.

The Blood Red Team was not particularly concerned about their BANs, as their AP player this time was not Yu Luosheng but Huang Yu, whose hand had recovered significantly.

The Blood Red Team banned the early-game strong hero, Blind Monk, and then banned two AP heroes that Yang Ying was good at, targeting him as well.

After both sides finished their BANs, the selection phase began.

On the first floor, Xiaodao directly secured the Prince.

The Prince was Xiaodao's most skilled jungler, and the hero's overall abilities were very strong—flexible, with control, strong GANKing, and strong team-fighting capabilities. This hero was definitely a must-BAN or must-pick.

After Xiaodao secured the Prince, the opposing team immediately chose the Punisher Arrow, Vayne.

In the S3 season, the two strongest ADCs were the Sheriff, Caitlyn, and the Punisher Arrow, Vayne. It wasn't because these ADCs were strengthened, but because other ADCs were weakened too much. The previously highly popular Ezreal had a lower appearance rate in major tournaments.

The Punisher Arrow, Vayne, was a hero with extremely high output and a team control skill, making him one of the strongest ADCs currently.

After securing Vayne, the Dawn Team immediately chose the Thunder Roar—Bear.

The Thunder Roar was a hero primarily positioned as a jungler, occasionally appearing as a support.

In fact, the Thunder Roar was not suitable for support. The development of the ADC in the bottom lane required flexibility, and the Thunder Roar, once it initiated a bear hug, would either die or be injured, which was not very stable. Most importantly, this hero had a short range and could not truly serve the role of a support.

The Thunder Roar, in fact, was not the best choice to be picked too early, but the Dawn Team's jungler seemed very confident.

After the Dawn Team secured Vayne and Thunder Roar, it was the Blood Red Team's turn to select.

Huang Yu hesitated in choosing his mid-lane hero and finally selected the Future Guardian, Jax.

This hero was one of Huang Yu's most skilled mid-lane heroes. In fact, choosing Jax against a bear jungler was not very wise, but Huang Yu still clicked the confirmation button.

Next, Xiaotongtong chose the Chemtech—Ziggs for the top lane.

"Future Guardian Jax, Chemtech Ziggs, it's unclear what strategy the Blood Red Team is following. Let's see the next picks."

"Alright, the Dawn Team's last two heroes are the Gem Knight—Taric and the Little Fishman—Fizz. If I'm not mistaken, the Dawn Team's AP player should be Yang Ying, who performed exceptionally well in the last match with the Void Reaver, Kha'Zix, executing a perfect cleanup. This time, he chose a rather special AP, the Tidecaller—Fizz. Let's see how he performs."

Seeing the opposing team choose the Little Fishman, Fizz, Huang Yu was taken aback.

He had faced many heroes in the mid-lane, but not often the Little Fishman, Fizz. Honestly, Jax did not have much of an advantage against Fizz, as Jax's EQ shockwave could easily be dodged by Fizz's E—Playful / Trickster.

"We should have banned the Little Fishman. His forced initiation ability is too strong." Huang Yu said in a calm voice.

"No worries, I'll secure the vision. He won't have many opportunities to flank." Yu Luosheng replied.

The Little Fishman's team-fighting ability was not strong, which was why his appearance rate in major tournaments was low. However, this hero had recently been developed, and the number of players using him had increased.

It was the Blood Red Team's turn to select again, and Yu Luosheng on the fourth floor did not hesitate, directly choosing the Radiant Morning—Lux.

"Oh, this Lux should be a support, right? The Blood Red Team's strategy is a bit odd."

The choice of Lux was more surprising than the appearance of Fizz.

The Radiant Morning—Lux could indeed play as a support, but this was actually a relatively weak support, with her main role being in late-game team fights.

"Oh, changed, chose Thorned Rose—Jinx... Yes, actually, Thorned Rose—Jinx as a support has much stronger support capabilities than Lux... Oh, changed again, back to Lux... Confirmed!!"

"As everyone knows, the Radiant Morning—Lux requires very strong prediction skills, as all her skills are non-targeted. Average Lux players are common, but to truly excel, one needs to master a lot. It's unclear how deep Huang Yu's understanding of Lux as a support is."

After the BAN and selection phase, both teams' lineups were locked, and the final 30-second countdown began!

"Friends in the audience, the final match of the Lecheng LOL Coca-Cola Cup has officially started. I believe all the friends here are the most passionate fans of LOL. Today, our ten players will bring us an exciting match. Let's all look forward to it!!"

The host was skilled at hyping up the atmosphere, and this time, the venue erupted in cheers.

It's hard to count how many LOL fans there are in a city, but it's certain that the ten players on the stage are the best LOL players in Lecheng. Their match is definitely what everyone is paying attention to!

And the grand prize of 60,000 RMB, along with the undisputed title of the best in Lecheng, who will ultimately win? This is the hottest topic among all LOL fans!!

...

"Alright, the screen is entering the loading interface... Let's introduce both teams' lineups again."

"Oh, wait, the Blood Red Team's mid-lane Jax is not controlled by Yu Luosheng!!"

"It's the Radiant Morning—Lux!!"

"The Radiant Morning—Lux has the Weakness summoner spell, which means that Yu Luosheng, who performed a card art show last time, is not playing the crucial AP role but the support role today!"

"This... This is quite unexpected!!"

After the host's dramatic announcement, the entire venue was in an uproar.

Back then, Yu Luosheng's Card Master left an indelible impression on countless people. For such an outstanding AP player to not play mid-lane but support, isn't this a waste of talent??

(Why am I posting this now... Because it's Monday again, and I need recommendations!!!)

(Fellow players, recommendations are really, really, really important. Please, after you have enough points, give a recommendation to Brother Luans!!)
