Most played duo lane: https://twitter.com/Bynjee/status/1192845936143355906
Of course, Xayah/Rakan is the most played duo lane, followed by Kai'Sa/xxx duo lane.
What surprised me is that Varus + Tahm Kench are undefeated.
Funplus Phoenix played them 4 times, do you think G2 should ban Varus/TK or they can win against them?
External link →Correct. If varus ban or pick they could also play ashe
Ashe is honestly just a better Varus
g2 on blue side can ban kaisa, tahm and qianna to completely shut down LWX, force a xayah and ryze ban and leave gragas open so G2 can first pick it.
Also, LWX is not the most consistent carry, so leaving him with sub-optimal picks is a very good strategy, since perkz can simply play a mage and control the lane with more lane priority.
Why would FPX ban Ryze in that situation?
They either trade ryze or trade xayah. If they ban only xayah, they leave ryze for G2, and if they ban only ryze, they leave xayah for g2. They either ban both or none. None of this situations are good for FPX, since ryze can be countered.
If G2 takes Ryze that's good for FPX for multiple reasons. First of all neither Wunder or Caps is nearly as good on Ryze as Doinb. Second of all getting Gragas means Perkz will have a much harder time playing Yasuo.
If G2 picks ryze, what is left as a power pick for DoinB? Nothing. It's not about being BETTER than doinb, it's about out-drafting them, out-splitting and out-macroing.
Yasuo, Nautilus, Kled, Rumble, Renekton just off the top of my head?
And when you say "multiple reasons" and only show one, it's not "multiple reasons", it's, like i said, only one. Ryze is a very good pick for any team composition, even if you are not the best ryze player on the planet. If g2 gets the power picks they are proeficient at, i don't see fpx actually pulling the wins of.
I literally gave you two reasons lol
But the second point has nothing to do with the ryze pick, you are talking about gragas.
Because if G2 takes Ryze then FPX takes Gragas. That's a good trade.
If they pick Nautilus, G2 can then ban blitzcrank to force the inevitable nautilus pick to support (or simply forcing out the alistar) and another mid laner like Kayle, forcing DoinB to play a sub-optimal mid laner as well, unless they trade the ryze and xayah picks, wich would not be good for FPX like i said before, since Xayah is a much bigger power pick than ryze.
Buddy you are way underestimating the champion pools of FPX lmao
