Chapter 189 (1)
Commentator D: [ Lets think about it, which mid champions would G4 ban this round-- --Hahaha, thats right, Im focusing on ZGDXs mid after they defeated two LCK teams both centered around their mids.]
Commentator F: [You can say it out straight that youre focusing on the girl.] Commentator D: [So? Or should I focus on you?]
Commentator G: [We can see that ZGDXs first ban is Aurelion Sol. Its clear that they banned him because G4s pretty good with him and ZGDX isnt. Its like: I cant play him, so I wont take him, but I wont let you have him either!]
Commentator G: [Its the finals already. Can you two comment nicely?]
Commentator G: [Get to the point.]
The ban & pick phase went on smoothly. First, ZGDX banned Aurelion Sol, which was the favorite of G4s mid Gogone. His Aurelion Sol had performed quite well during the group matches and quarter-finals. He dominated the match against YQCBs Ai Jia with Aurelion Sol and even now, when Ai Jia played ranked matches he would insist on banning Aurelion Sol, causing his teammates to all throw question marks into the chat
To counter ZGDXs ban, G4 banned Leblanc and Twisted Fate. Tong Yao commented on the ban: I knew it would happen. But, what about my championship skin if I cant use Leblanc during the finals? (The team that wins the yearly championship will receive the champion skin with the team logo on it which is specifically prepared by Riot Games. But the requested champion skin has to be a champion being used in the finals.) After we reach 2 : 0, lets send a representative to tell the other side to let me have Leblanc for the third round so I can have the skin.
Tong Yao: Captain, itll be you.
Lu Sicheng: Thats stupid. I wont do a thing asking for a whacking-- --I dont want to be captain anymore. Whoever does, take it over.
Tong Yao: Youre also my fiance.
Lu Sicheng: Is it too late to break off the engagement?
Tong Yao: Its too late.
Lu Sicheng: ......
Little Fatty: They seem to have changed the rules now; even the champions used in group matches will do-- --Besides, everyone knows that Twisted Fate and Leblanc are the twin stars of our team. What can we do if we cant get them?
Old K: Right, right, it's an unreasonable rule-- --Except for someone like the blue collar Old Cat who takes whichever champion when needed, everyone else has their own signature champion. The other side definitely wont let you have it!
Old Cat got irritated: Go to hell, if it wasnt for me carrying you all against TAT, would you have the opportunity to talk nonsense here?
As he finished, the five players starting from Lu Sicheng all got a smack on the head with a file folder. Ming gods voice could be clearly heard in the team voice channel: Whats wrong with all you guys? Even if G4 is a Euro-American noob team, they are still the little giant that sent two LPL teams back home in the quarter-finals and semifinals. You havent even started playing the match yet and youre already talking about champion skins! What if you lose the match-- --
Tong Yao: Aiyo!
Little Fatty: Aiyo!
Old K: Aiyo!
Old Cat: Aiyo!
Lu Sicheng: Data Analyst, can you speak nicely? I suggest we drive him off the stage and well do ban & pick ourselves.
Ming god: ......The other side banned Kalista, very well, skin? Theres none. Old K, your Nidalee is available. Congratulations.
Old K: Take Nidalee, take Nidalee. Grab her for me, Cat god.
Old Cat took Old Ks favorite Nidalee. Then the other side took Orianna for their mid and Alistar for their support. Oriannas ultimate could pull champions towards her ball and Alistars Q, W abilities could knock up and push enemies respectively; they were both champions geared for team fights with strong teammate saving abilities
ZGDX chose Gnar for top and Braum for support, sticking to their usual lineup. At least they wouldnt be helpless when facing the other sides line up. Tong Yao in the end locked down Syndra and Lu Sicheng took Sivir The ban & pick phase thus concluded. Everyone hurriedly adjusted their runes and masteries. The end results of the ban & pick were as follows-- --
G4 bans: Leblanc, Twisted Fate, Kalista.
ZGDX bans: Aurelion Sol, Ryze, Ekko.
G4 picks: Rumble, Kindred, Orianna, Ezreal, Alistar.
ZGDX picks: Gnar, Nidalee, Syndra, Sivir, Braum.
