Keeping the Winning Streak Alive

"You're such a clown. And you call yourself a prophet? I'll claim Witch and poison you to death."

Before long, the livestream finally showed footage, indicating that the teams had entered the ban-pick phase.

"That's weird. Why wasn't there an opening introduction? Why did it go straight into bans and picks?"

Someone in the livestream chat raised the question.

But no one answered.

What was surprising was that FLY really did ban Relife's signature champions, Vi and Nidalee, with their first three bans.

Vi being banned was understandable. After all, she had high priority on the competitive stage and was usually picked to work alongside Wolf Mother.
