In the first game of BO5, FNC banned C9's mid laner Jian Huang's specialty hero, Time Guardian, who had brought great trouble to RNG in the group stage, and chose Nightmare and Bullhead in the last two games; and dropped Jayce.

The three heroes are Dao Mei and Akali.

"It's PICK time." Wawa narrowed his eyes and said louder, "C9 has banned three powerful heroes in the top lane. I wonder if this is targeting the new top laner Axe? Or does it have other deeper meanings?"

While Wawa was doing his analysis, Miller said: "These three heroes can all swing to the middle, maybe to prevent caps. The caps in this year's World Championship and European League have shown world-class performance.

talent."

When the two spoke, FNC, who was the first to choose the hero, had already locked in Caps's specialty, Magical Enchantress, and then C9 successively locked Xin Zhao and Braum. In the second round of selection, FNC decisively

Choosing the powerful combination of Xia Luo, C9 quickly locked Lissandra.

In the second round of BAN selection, FNC banned Lucian, who had performed well in C9's previous game with AFS, and Victor, who was popular in the version; on C9's side, it was Jax and Spider.

After both sides had finished banning ten players, the screen came to the pick session. C9 locked the cannon almost in seconds, and then handed over the right to select players to the blue side's FNC.

"Give it to broxah Li Qing." Coach Dylan's voice appeared in the earphones, and Ou Cheng, who was in charge of selecting players, did not hesitate and immediately locked the blind monk's avatar.

Choosing a jungle hero couldn't be easier for Dylan, but when it was his turn to choose a hero for today's new player Xia Yan, Dylan was in trouble for a moment.

"Get on the road..." Dylan frowned, not knowing what to make for a moment. The first thing he considered was whether Xia Yan had just entered the competition for the first time, so he should choose a more stable tank first, but then he thought about the past few days.

The carry scenes he showed in training matches and individual qualifying matches.

Although I don’t know why Xia Yan, who had been mediocre all year, suddenly became fierce during the World Championships, this is all real. Dylan couldn’t help but hesitate in choosing a hero.

Dylan's hesitant tone in his voice naturally caught Xia Yan's attention. Glancing at the coach standing beside him out of the corner of his eye, Xia Yan pursed his lips and then suggested: "Coach, don't worry about me.

.I said, I won’t let you down.”

Xia Yan's firm words undoubtedly had an effect. With his promise, Dylan, who was worried about which hero Xia Yan would choose for various reasons, was instantly relieved: he has outstanding personal abilities.

, and being able to avoid stage fright is the most important thing.

While feeling relieved, Dylan also made a calculation in his mind. He decided to trust the young man from China in front of him.

"You choose the hero." Dylan breathed a long sigh of relief, and as if he had made some big plan, he put his hand on Xia Yan's shoulder.

After hearing Dylan's response, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel a little happy, but this emotion was quickly suppressed by himself. Before knowing the role of the opponent's top laner, Xia Yan made a compromise

Intend.

The scarlet hue, the image of the devil, the heavy sword...

"Sword Demon..."

When the Darkin Sword Demon's avatar appeared in the pick window at the same time, Xia Yan did not hesitate and immediately asked hylissang in the support position to help him lock this hero.

"Listen to the dead silence of extinction..."

The voice of Sword Demon in the national server rang in Xia Yan's ears. Along with the waves of shouts outside the court, Xia Yan's mind seemed to have returned to the scene when he led the team in the game before, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"We can see that FNC gave the top laner Ax Sword Demon a hero, instead of choosing a blue-collar top laner to stabilize the front row." At this time, Mi Le had completely escaped the previous embarrassment and expressed his opinions calmly.

: "It can be seen that the team still trusts this newcomer as a substitute..."

"Yes, let's see how C9 will make the final move." Spear took the topic raised by Miller and followed suit: "I hope the ax players will not be knocked down by the pressure of playing for the first time.

.”

Regarding Xia Yan, a Chinese player, Mi Le and others only paid a little attention to him, but did not completely turn their stance towards him and expressed hope for him.

After all, I was just a youth trainee from a mid-to-lower LPL team. If I had the ability, I would not go to a foreign country, especially in a competition area known as the "European and American competition". I would not expect much to play as an emergency substitute; it's just that

It's just that his identity as a Chinese has brought him a certain amount of attention.

Not only the commentary, but also the barrages on major live broadcast platforms echoed the same idea.

"Can domestically produced dishes like this be exported to foreign countries?"

"If he is really capable, LGD will definitely not let him go abroad, let alone a precious domestic top laner. I am not optimistic about his debut this time."

"We are all compatriots after all. I hope we won't be beaten too badly in this emergency rescue..."

The outside world is unanimously not optimistic about Xia Yan's debut, which is also a mainstream view.

Forget about the newcomers who have always looked at the water dispenser, and they played such a high-profile and high-pressure game in the knockout round of the World Championship. This made everyone look down on Xia Yan and the entire Fnatic team before the game started.

Team. Even the major betting companies before the game urgently changed their odds, which shows how unfavorable FNC is after changing their top laner.

After the Sword Demon was selected, the shots on the field were handed over and the last hand was still unselected. It was already clear that it was the C9 of the unit.

C9 responded to this by using Karma to line up with it.

"Karma..." After seeing Auntie's avatar being locked, Mi Le on the commentary desk couldn't help but mused: "This move is purely disgusting. The meat-suited Karma who stole money from the unit is to a certain extent the same as

Viktor is a bit similar, but Karma becomes a bit more of a support player in the late game."

There is nothing wrong with Miller's explanation. As his partner, Wawa also echoed at this time: "That's right. But both Lissandra and Karma can win or go. It just depends on whether they are swinging...

"

"Ice Girl is used to limit the Enchantress, so this is most likely Karma's top laner." Spear gave his own opinion and changed the subject, "Now let's look forward to the first game of this semi-final.
Chapter completed!
