Before the main game is about to start, in addition to the teams and players we pay attention to, we may wish to change our perspective and predict the highlights of this year's S9 Global Finals from the hero. Perhaps, the appearance of a large number of heroes is already one of the major attractions of this competition.
Judging from the rules of the competition, the S9 Global Finals used the V9.19 version. In this version, heroes such as Sword Demon, Akari, Clockwork, Robot, and Ice are all strengthened to a certain extent, while Syras and Yumi are weakened.
What is more interesting is that in this version of the game and Rank, Panson and Ziana are basically not required by Ban, and there have been many operations such as small cannon single and AD bit Sindra. In the 43 finals of the World Championship, the small cannon appeared on the single 3 times, and Sindra was placed in the AD position 4 times.
Even if the world championship has not yet begun, we can more or less see the style and trend of this competition from the selection of heroes in the final competition.
A total of 82 heroes were selected in 43 finalists, and the most terrifying thing is that the new version of Panson was banned 42 times in 43 matches, and only appeared once and won in the games between MEGA and LK. Such a ban selection rate is enough to see the position of the new version of Panson in the version.
Like the slightly unpopular cards, Quinn, and Big Head, they all appeared. Medium single AD card, upper single Quinn, AD bit big head, may also appear in the S9 main game.
Let's look at the selection of heroes in each position. The Captain, the Blind, Akari, Kasumi, and Lo became the most numerous choices for each path. And we can also see that the angels who can swing in the middle and upper, the boxers who play the wild and the unpopular, and even the single cannon and AD small law have all been taken to the field. From this, we can also see that in the world championship under this version, it is likely that there will be a change of lanes and a mid-to-high switching style of play.
In the summer of the LPL, RNG used Xiaohu's singles style of play and achieved some results. Even in the final round of the summer regular season, after FPX's Midson Singles Doinb and Tian Tian reversed positions, the two played very well and helped the team beat TES.
Of course, the hundred flowers on the AD position are blooming, and there are no small challenges for the LPL team. Uzi, Lwx, and Jackylove all lean toward traditional ADs, and whether they can bring the other heroes to life well feels how well the team will perform in the long run. However, according to the latest Rank information, these three ADs are practicing non-traditional ADs differently, and we will wait and see what kind of hero is selected in the competition.
Judging from ban's situation, Panson, Ziana, Sindra and The Barrel will become regulars on the Ban, and in the 9.19 version, Wayne has also been strengthened, and the VN of the puppy's signature does not know whether it can also be on the Ban.
At the S8 World Finals, there were 76 of the 77 matches in the Ban & Pick session, and the S9 finalists had all been surpassed. In this situation, this world championship is bound to be a hundred flowers blooming, all kinds of players show heroes.
Finally, as the three LPL teams participating, FPX, RNG and IG, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, they are bound to prepare a big killer to deal with this event. After all, SKT, G2 and even FNC and DWG are not easy to mess with.
