Serious talks about the tournament have ended. Malik immediately starts the game, in order to quickly find enemies and practice.
While waiting for the enemy to be found, Aldi came out of the room to check something. Previously, he recalled that he had obtained a number of diamonds and a fragment hero from the normal gift box he had just opened.
When he checked it, he found his account had 2000 diamonds. He also felt happy because he could finally have this much diamond. He also did not hesitate to decide to buy the skin hero he really wanted to buy, namely Badang skin. Skin Susano'o successfully bought directly through the shop.
Not to forget also he bought the skin epic Roger, Phantom Pirates with the rest of the diamond he had. Roger is one of the heroes he mastered and this hero will often be used by him from now on.
One by one they immediately get into the draft pick after the enemy is found. The draft pick this time was thought out seriously, not messing around like before. This they do because they really have to focus the draft pick in order to find a concoction that can not be guessed by the opponent.
"I want to use Claude. Don't get banned, yeah!" he said reminding his friends. Acquiring the mastery of Claude's hero made him want to give it a try immediately. He wanted to feel Claude's game in a different way than usual.
The request from Aldi was immediately heard by Jaka. As the first person to ban the game, he immediately banned Esmeralda for use by both teams. The choice of Esmeralda has been discussed by them. They agreed to ban it because this hero is very disturbing with the absorb damage it has. Moreover, this hero can do a lot of things later in the game.
The enemy immediately responded by choosing the hero Uranus and Claude. The choice of Uranus to be banned is the right decision because this hero is very disturbing especially can play with a pull. Regen and damage from this hero is very, very disturbing and scrambling opponent formations.
When Aldi saw Claude being banned, he could only sigh. With the knowledge he had, he realized this hero was very overpowering. In addition to being able to get in and out easily, this hero also has a movement speed that is too fast and attack speed is very fast when his Art of Thievery skill gets a full stack. It is only natural that the enemy avoids this hero.
Now it's his turn again to do a banned hero together with Sandi. He, Malik and the others discussed what kind of hero they would throw away. The discussion resulted in Ling and Khufra's exit from the list of heroes to choose from.
The reason is quite simple to throw away the two heroes. Ling was banished for having agile mobility and could enter the innermost formation of the opponent easily. In addition, with high mobility makes it able to disperse the concentration of the opponent by playing split push on the opponent's turret. The Tempest of Blade was his secret weapon that made him dizzy from being untouchable while still in the air. In addition, he can also fly from one wall to another using his skill, Pinch Poise.
Khufra was chosen because the hero was a very, very disturbing hero. If only the enemy used Tyrant's Revenge very precisely, then the formation would be very, very disturbed by the existence of this hero. Bounce Ball his can also limit the skill Blink or Dash, even Flicker can not pass the skill if it does not find the right time when used. However, Tyrant's Rage is more disturbing because it can be combined with Flicker so that it can provide a surprise attack to the enemy.
The enemy then uses their opportunity to choose the hero to be banned. After a few seconds of time, the enemy chose Luo Yi's hero as the one they had forbidden to use.
Although classified as a new hero, Luo Yi had an early game damage that was very sick when her passive, Duality was active and successfully used. In addition, with a combination of yin and yang from Dispersion and Rotation skills, stun effects and provide additional magical damage that is very large in the early game. This combination of skills can make the opponent's formation destroyed and make the opposing heroes spread out to each other so that the effects of his passive Duality can be avoided.
Luo Yi's ultimate skill, Diversion is also very disturbing if used properly. With this skill, Luo Yi could move herself as well as her friends to other locations within the Land of Dawn. Not only can it be used to bring friends away, but this skill can also be used to provide surprise attacks to opponents in unexpected areas. This was the reason why Luo Yi had entered the list of the highest banned heroes at her current rank.
Malik looked through the list of heroes, but then his eyes brightened when he saw one of the heroes in the Marksman category. A brilliant idea suddenly flashed through his mind. Before letting Jaka take the hero he was going to use, he said, "Jaka, use the hero Popol and Kupa. I found something good out of this hero when combined with the hero I was wearing."
"Why ask me to play Popol and Kupa? Isn't that Marksman-type hero?" jaka asked confused. He is a tank player, and when he heard Malik asked him to play the hero marksman, he was very confused.
"Wait a minute, I'll explain why I asked you to play Popol and Kupa" Malik said.
"Popol and Kupa are heroes who can do poke damage easily. As long as it still has mana, skill 1 can be spammed in order to install enemy HP. In addition, he also has a similar trap skill like the Selena skill, where the trap can give crowd control to opponents and can also be a tool to open the map. This is what I mean by the combination of Popol, Kupa, and Selena" he explained to his friends.
"Kupa also has a very thick resistance thanks to Popol's passive skill. This great resilience can make it as a punching bag for the enemy so that other heroes can attack the enemy hypercarry hero. In addition to its trap and endurance, Kupa popol skill can also provide stun and knock-up effects of skill 1 and 2 when the ultimate is used. These two skills can be used for initiation or cover our hero core," he said again adding his explanation, "With this combination, he said, we should be able to master the early game and let Aldi farm freely. We can interfere with the movement and rotation of the enemy through the trap we have. That's the reason why I'm asking you to use Popol and Kupa in addition to trying this out and surprising the opponent in the tournament."
A very good explanation from Malik makes Jaka understand what his friend meant. He also thought about this plan for a short time and felt the reason from Malik was very reasonable. Based on that explanation also made him interested and opened his eyes about his position as a tank.
"I will use this hero," said Jaka directly choosing Popol and Kupa at the last second.
Vishnu also immediately set his choice. He understood that with Popol and Kupa as tanks, the team did not have someone who could withstand more damage. He also chose Thamuz because this hero can be used as a damage barrier for opponents other than Kupa and can make the team more defensive.
With a shocking selection, the opposing team seemed mediocre. They instantly secured Chou and Jawhead where these two heroes had a myriad of crowd control skills. These two heroes also match the combination of Atlas and Kagura.
Now it's Sandi and Aldi's turn to choose the hero they will use. Sandi saw his friends using heroes and strategies that were outside of normal META in general, so he also dropped his choice on the hero Badang.
He dared to choose Badang because he had played this hero when playing solo ranked and also in his team there is someone who intends to get the title as Top Ranking Badang, namely Aldi. He immediately asked his friend something, "Hero is using the emblem and what battle spell, Aldi?"
When Sandi's question was heard by him, Aldi felt his head instantly empty. He played Badang very often before, but when asked by Sandi about things related to Badang, he could not think and know what Badang needed.
"System, why can't I think about things related to Badang?"
