At that thought, Jiang Siming's expression turned solemn.
Few people familiar with Jiang Siming had ever seen him look so serious, but when he got serious, Jiang Siming was truly captivating to girls.
The game began, and they entered the ban-and-pick phase.
Jiang Siming offered no opinions during the bans and picks. Whatever the coach said to ban was what they banned.
After the bans, FNC first picked Xayah for the AD carry position.
"Let's take mid first. Ming Shen, what mid laner do you want to play? Preferably one who can hold steady," Coach Niu Pai asked.
Jiang Siming barely thought about it before answering, "Then Ryze."
"Good! That's a great choice!" Niu Pai was delighted upon hearing this. Ryze was steady, powerful in the late game, and had mobility to provide support.
He had been afraid Jiang Siming would pick some rank hero like Yasuo, Talon, or Riven.
Actually, if Xiao Hu had been there, Niu Pai would have had him pick Ryze too.
So in this match, the champion had not changed. Only the summoner had.
Whether Xiao Hu's Ryze was stronger or Jiang Siming's Ryze was better would be decided in this game.
After picking Ryze, they also picked Little Dog's Ezreal, and then both sides finished choosing their champions one by one.
FNC's lineup was Xayah and Pyke in bottom lane, Gragas in the jungle, Gangplank top, and Cassiopeia mid.
RNG's lineup was Ezreal and Lulu in bottom lane, Lee Sin in the jungle, Gnar top, and Ryze mid.
Both lineups were actually pretty good. It was just that Jiang Siming did not understand why they had chosen Lulu for the final counter-pick slot.
Still, he did not ask. The pick had already been made, and perhaps Ming and UZI had some strategy in mind.
