[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 270
Meta Research (3)#270 Meta Study (3)
The team bans and picks are as follows:
+
[BGG / BLH]
Top: Ornn / Jayce
Jungle: Xin Zhao / Jarvan IV
Mid: Viktor / Akali
ADC: K'Sante / Jhin
Support: Karma / Yuumi
+
“Um… there's a rumor that Karma's tier has risen a lot recently, and BGG is taking Karma as a first pick like this.”
“Yes. I think there might be several trials and errors since it's a pick that's been out for quite a while… But Karma as a champion is such a good pick. We have to assume it could appear at any time.”
BGG's side is blue.
BLH's side is red.
Despite being the opposite of the previous game, BGG took Karma, not just K'Sante.
"Is this BLH's ban/pick correct?"
"Yeah."
According to our recent research, Karma is a tier-1 pick for the bottom lane, including ADC and support.
In other words, it's right to either take her or ban her if you can't.
"Can we break through this from the top lane?"
"Well… but it's not like Jayce usually does well against Ornn."
"True."
The Jayce vs. Ornn matchup is a somewhat extreme matchup based on solo rank statistics.
It's clear that Jayce has an advantage in the lane phase, but statistically, Ornn often appears as one of Jayce's hard counters.
In other words, these statistics mean that the difficulty of the champion Jayce is that hard and the overwhelming performance of the champion Ornn is optimized for team fights compared to its low difficulty.
Of course, someone could say.
That professional Jayce is different.
But unfortunately, even among pro gamers, Jayce is a difficult-to-handle champion that can be used as one of the indicators to judge the class of a top laner.
So much so that there are players who, after using Jayce a few times and getting bad results, never use him again.
Of course, there were junglers who never used Lee Sin either, so it wasn't like they could say anything.
Anyway, in that sense, Jayce is a pick that easily breaks through tanks and a pick that doesn't easily break through tanks.
It's not an exaggeration to say that there's a kind of finger coefficient attached to it.
Initially, picks that break through tanks well generally have extreme aspects.
For example, Fiora.
From that perspective, Jayce was definitely a difficult champion.
"Hmm……."
This game, if it goes smoothly, BGG will win for sure.
The difference in the composition looking towards the late game was that extreme.
"Starting."
"Oh, yeah."
As Baek Seongan said, the full-fledged second set had already begun.
-Welcome to the Summoner's Rift!
The cheers of the fans, which were heard when we watched our team's replay, were not heard.
It's not quite the same thing, but it wasn't that there was no response at all.
-BGG seems to win?
-Frfr
-Our team's Jayce always gets destroyed by Ornn.
-It seems like it will be the same here? ㅋㅋ
-Frfr But if you can't, a tank is the best.
-But how many players in the country are good at Jayce?
-Yeah, King or Easy should use it. Why is a tier 2 team using Jayce?
-Agreed, agreed ㅋㅋ
Deep distrust of Jayce appeared in the chat window.
It was inevitable.
Even if they were professionals, the trust in tier 2 league players was less than that of tier 1 league players.
Moreover, a pick like Jayce is a pick where there are more cases of showing bad results than good results even among tier 1 league players, so it was even more so.
“For now, they're just catching vision and backing off, right?”
“Yes. It seems that BGG doesn't want to give any unnecessary variables, and BLH seems to be trying to be a little more serious because of the memory of being severely defeated in the first set.”
“I think TPT’s Jayce will be the most important in this game. It's important how he performs against Ornn, but basically, BLH's current composition itself is a composition with quite weak sustained damage, right? Jayce needs to fill that part well.”
“That's right! Still, who is TPT? He's a player who, until the OLZ's Honor player appeared, was even called the best top in Challenger!”
“I feel like there are a lot of best tops in Challenger… But that's not important!”
-Another best top
-What kind of Challenger's best top are you talking about, when they are sorted out by the Honor player ㅋㅋ
-Yessir yessir
-They are all cut off at the level of the small eye girl.
The early game went as expected to some extent.
The destructive laning of K'Sante and Karma.
Even Jhin and Yuumi had to fall back a little.
On the other hand, there was also a part that didn't go as expected.
That was because Jayce was pushing Ornn more than expected in the top lane.
“Jayce is very sharp right now?! He's saying, 'Take Ornn out in front of me?'”
“That's right. It was a first-pick Jayce and a second-pick Ornn. This can be very upsetting for the TPT player. Even so, he can shout, 'Take Ornn out?'”
“That’s right!”
[⨷] [⨷] [⨷]
[⨷] [⨷] [⨷]
And pings that are recorded almost simultaneously.
It was the pings of both teams' junglers.
"Xin Zhao was a bit faster."
"If Jayce can do well just once, it looks like a counter-attack opportunity will come?"
That one time.
That was important, but unfortunately, Jayce had already used all of his skills when Xin Zhao arrived.
The only escape skill was Flash.
And that Flash was caught by Xin Zhao's back so easily.
-First Blood!
-You have slain an enemy!
“No, no……!”
“Shall we say that Jayce crossed the line just now? He pushed it too hard even though it was the timing when the opponent's jungler could come!”
Unfortunately, after Jarvan arrived, the only thing he could do was to receive the lane properly so the lane wouldn't be pushed and then, give the lane back to Jayce, who teleported and returned.
It was already a huge loss from the start.
-jgchoyojgchoyojgchoyojgchoyojgchoyojgchoyojgchoyojgchoyojgchoyojgchoyo
-Enemy jungle is in the top lane!
-Enemy top is also in the top lane!
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That’s right
-This is the difference in jungle, yessir
-Jarvan, what a spectator ㅋㅋ
-Breaking news) Retreat pings are being recorded above Jarvan's head ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
BLH's misfortune was not just that.
The bottom lane of BLH gradually began to be pushed by BGG's powerful lane again, which started in the bottom lane.
This was because they easily took both K'Sante and Karma, the current tier-1 picks.
“BLH is not good right now… In a way, the only hope, Jayce, is dead, so it can be said to be worse than the previous game!”
Time gradually passed.
The structure itself was similar to the previous game.
Since BGG had the initiative on the bottom, there was no reason for Xin Zhao not to take the dragon.
-The blue team has slain the Earth Dragon!
Bit by bit, bit by bit.
The initiative of the game was taken.
"This is not good for BLH."
"I wonder why the ban/pick had to be like that. Isn't it a composition that can't catch Ornn?"
"Yeah."
Of course, it could have been because Ornn was the second pick, but the more so, Jayce had to put in more effort.
“Ah, ah……! Doesn't die! Akali used her ultimate, but it's too tanky!”
Akali, who felt the urgency, tried to catch a kill after taking level 6, but unfortunately, Viktor was already too tanky.
It was because of the newly added Mythic item.
“Usually, Akali enters after removing the passive of the Hextech Rocketbelt first… It seems that Akali was too hasty!”
“Got a chance and it didn't work? You could look at it that way. Because if the Hextech Rocketbelt was removed from the start, Viktor would have played cautiously.”
“Yeah, that's true.”
There were almost no big incidents.
BGG just took the dragon and Herald bit by bit, and at the same time, took the turret shield.
However, BGG had already won the game just with that.
The result that BLH faced for the arrogant ban/pick was simple.
Jayce couldn't break through Ornn in the end,
Akali was greatly pushed in the growth expectation by Viktor, and
The bottom lane was led throughout the entire game after giving the initiative in the early game.
“The game comes to an end like this!”
“GG!”
Second set, BGG wins.
It was a complete victory of 2:0.
It was the first upset since the second round.
And,
"For sure."
"I think so, right?"
After watching the game, we were able to realize one fact.
Where the center of this meta is.
