**Pick Troll for Me!**

The other female caster, Gu Gu, immediately followed up. "Yes, let's look forward to a great performance from Relife."

The host then began announcing the Top Esports players as they took the stage.

Once all the players were seated, the host, Xi Ran, wrapped things up. "LPL, fearless in the race to the top!"

Luo Bing and Top Esports' coach, Hongmi, also arrived at the player stations as the draft was about to begin. In the playoffs, the opening side selection wasn't decided by a solo duel, but by a coin toss. The solo duel for side selection would only take place before game five.

Perhaps luck was on NIP's side; they won the coin toss and took blue side.

The draft began.

For NIP, Luo Bing had the players ban Vi, Yone, and Kalista.

For Top Esports, Hongmi had them ban the blue bald guy, Ryze, along with Rumble and Skarner.

The blue bald guy, Ryze, was one of doinb's signature picks. So far in the First Split, he hadn't lost a single game on it, maintaining a hundred-percent win rate. Every time he brought it out, he dominated—it was practically a guaranteed win.

Hongmi didn't want to see doinb get the bald Ryze either, so he banned it outright, denying the other team any chance to pick it.

After all, blue side had first pick.

Luo Bing checked with doinb, then locked in Rabbit for him with their first pick.

Hongmi's eyes flickered when he saw Rabbit locked in first, and he had 369 lock in Wolf Mother. As for Kanavi, Hongmi hesitated. With Vi already banned by the opposition, they couldn't run a double-lockdown composition. He had hesitated over picking Wolf Mother too. "Take Viktor."

Hongmi decided to secure the late-game hypercarry Viktor for Crame first.
