3. What we can not see

• DMG/Gold
• Crowd Control
These metrics is very important for understanding how battles can be
go in predictions of picks
Also we need information about hero pool of each position. Average
it’s about 8-9 heroes for each position. But if we see that the number
of heroes is less, we can talk about blanks - the meta of a hero for a
specific team.

4. Games, players in different regions that attracted attention

For your watching and thinking:
• IKL (Indonesia) – paradox of Mid Laner from team BOOM (average
participation in fights 4th place, after 3 top rated supports). How he
moves on map? Which games team BOOM lost in group
stage/playoffs?
• Brazil Fall – games of team Loops. They don’t win against team A7,
but in playoffs they suddenly can break them. What they changed in
their strategies to win? Player Vento (mid player) – did he change
something in his games?
• MKL – derby between NOVA and BSE (with groups). How both team
lost to anyone in groups? And how they play against 3rd command –
AG, which have a lot of strategies for this tournament

5.

For your watching and thinking:
MKL (continue); Jungle players, which can be interesting: Yulong (AG)
K1 – clashlaner of team O2 Esports. How he works with his jungler?
Wendy – midlaner of team NOVA Esports.
How Xuan (NOVA) get more MVPs in playoffs stage? Did they change
something in strategies after groups (NOVA)?
Think, most interesting games/players from this championship (in MKL)
Wildcard league – 2 dark horses from championship: Fearless and
PAWS;
Duo Sky + KK and
FengJie (ADC) – how they bring their teams to victories. (write at the
end)

6.

For your watching and thinking:
• IKL (Indonesia) – how Talons lost their chance?
• West League (matches before patch);
Interesting players: keke, an;
Nighty;
Where is Shanks?
How Fengxun play his MID role?
Support players:
Lu (Kagendra), Clue (Gen G Esports), Grizzly Q (Virtus Pro) – need to
watch replays from group stage.

11.

Simple way best counter of combo Princess Frost + Liang: https://youtu.be/J_hBQ08_qfY?t=10284
JUST PICK Zhuangzi (!)
Another game with this hero support: https://youtu.be/dhF2s8VKKA8?t=7883
This Zhuangzi take SMITE!

12. What strategies can be with Wukong?

They really spend ban for it: https://youtu.be/7XGwNOJ7zhc?t=20899
But I don’t see at professional picks Wukong, it must be with something more, not just playing around Luna and Yuhuan

13.

Can be combo Augurian + DyaDia countered by Menki? It can be tried, but not sure it’s almost. And what combo u can use
with Menki? Only Menki + Marco Polo, I think.
Don’t pick Menki on first stage of picks!
How continue picks FOR Augurian: + DyaDia, + Gan&Mo, + Ziya
Meta from games: Yixing is not overrated, it’s really bigger then Lady Zhen;
Pei+Biron+Yixing > Pei+Biron+Lady Zhen;
Looks like if u ready to play Luna – u always first pick it in games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjpV5FWRo98&t=7158s
Brazil games very … sleepy:
https://youtu.be/xF0qNfBJJzE?t=3896 (CAO CAO picks (Faith));

14.

Han Xin games
Games for Han Xin, when u overpower than ur opponent (different skill level of players):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjpV5FWRo98&t=9175s
https://youtu.be/ooFvjgJNZSc?t=16155
I didn’t find interesting games, where u can take free Han Xin against same level team and play it well(
FIRST PICK PRINCESS FROST OVERPOWER
Typical draft for Pei: + Biron, + Princess Frost (or Lady Zhen). Princess Frost can give good flex between
strategies (Pei+Biron OR Liang). Example another good flex on Princess Frost 1st pick:
https://youtu.be/J_hBQ08_qfY?t=21046;
Last pick Princess Frost not working well: https://youtu.be/fbLLGrQQoW4?t=10902
PROBLEM OF YUHUAN
If we wanna pick Yuhuan (nvm, mid lane or support position) – ALWAYS use 3rd pick FOR IT!
https://youtu.be/vOqsZK2EqS8?t=4437
https://youtu.be/8o7XZhgsMaQ?t=4961
https://youtu.be/dhF2s8VKKA8?t=18288 (lost)
Typical pick Yuhuan – ban Gan&Mo. Or steal it both, but its greedy. Play against Gan&Mo with
Yuhuan:
https://youtu.be/8o7XZhgsMaQ?t=14725
I think, Feyd can be very good vs Yuhuan, overclick it with ulti after buff in this patch. But not

15. Default Combo Lam + Liu Bang

Lam + Liu Bang – default duo. When we can pick it? Probably, only on close (4-5th picks):
https://youtu.be/J_hBQ08_qfY?t=18797
Another pick (2-3rd): https://youtu.be/NP21QKcryhM?t=19305
U can start with pick Liu Bang fp, and then flex his position: https://youtu.be/HuUrzHilBpM?t=21544, but it can
be not worked: https://youtu.be/yhFUuu1S3SM?t=22841
Probably, the deal in heroes – example of over mobility good draft:
https://youtu.be/yhFUuu1S3SM?t=27649

16.

OVERPOWERFUL META HEROES
Heroes for 5 roles in last patch:
https://youtu.be/xF0qNfBJJzE?t=17706
But! At the same time I scared that Yuhuan will continue be rated like top support in game in current meta before KWC:
https://youtu.be/dhF2s8VKKA8?t=30882
In Malaisya still picked DyaDia and ZhangFei in Ultimate battles;
How break most dangerous duo’s, trio’s vs Yuhuan:
https://youtu.be/8o7XZhgsMaQ?t=7155
Most scared adding to her Dolia + Loong, Dolia +Shangguan (!)
Game with Dolia + Yuhuan + Auguran vs Biron+Pei – just oversplit: https://youtu.be/bIpBejqeo-8?t=29137
ATA VS YIXING
How teams try to fight vs Yixing – they start picks jungler ATA! 50%-50%, not working perfect:
https://youtu.be/NP21QKcryhM?t=23505 - they win
https://youtu.be/J_hBQ08_qfY?t=23329 - they lose

17.

How we can use/counter support Ming?
Need to think about alternatives for Yuhuan – can we use Ming in current meta? And with what ADC?
Ming + Chano – can we use it or try it? I think it’s better then typical Ming + Garo, Ming + Hou Yi, but what mid laner we need?
Don’t like Chano + Agudo, I don’t think, that it can be work: https://youtu.be/NP21QKcryhM?t=8888
Maybe we need make duo Ming + Agudo? https://youtu.be/HuUrzHilBpM?t=25936
(they rate Ming higher than Zhang Fei)
Another usage: Min + Lady Sun (https://youtu.be/fbLLGrQQoW4?t=20208) – not good in composition of pick
Sakeer and .. Dian Wei – not seems good:
Dian Wei picks:
https://youtu.be/HuUrzHilBpM?t=12615
https://youtu.be/HuUrzHilBpM?t=23494 (3rd pick Yuhuan + Dian Wei pick)
https://youtu.be/fbLLGrQQoW4?t=21710 (Sakeer + Dian Wei + Yuhuan)
Some games with Sakeer: not a good hero..
https://youtu.be/J_hBQ08_qfY?t=6448 (WIN)
https://youtu.be/yhFUuu1S3SM?t=8289 (LOSE)
https://youtu.be/fbLLGrQQoW4?t=21710 (LOSE)

18.

Interesting – how many times BSE rates first ban Dolia in MKL:
https://youtu.be/fbLLGrQQoW4?t=30691
https://youtu.be/fbLLGrQQoW4?t=32039

19. New strategy – feeding Athena support ?!

How it works with items? When we buy support gem?
https://youtu.be/dhF2s8VKKA8?t=21679
Athena strategy – feed for enemy jungler and then take streak; Gold junping 1.5 k from getting kill (!)
https://youtu.be/dhF2s8VKKA8?t=22521
Another game: https://youtu.be/yhFUuu1S3SM?t=8289

Nova
All teams get the positions of coaches and analysts
Right now don’t except anything great from OG and Twisted Minds in KWC (3-4 places
max)
Why Nova changes their jungler? He was so bad? Need check replaces
Musashi games from both players:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbNg6QCfJ7g&t=9393s (Nova)
https://youtu.be/wbNg6QCfJ7g?t=4666 (O2)
https://youtu.be/_YpVZa7NYFg?t=14521 (Nova)

21. How team created (PawsG, Fearless). They will win their bracket for sure even before groups starts

SNOW – from AG, Myosotis - From AG (3-4 Midseason last year), Qinglin – AG player in past, 2 KPL players, only mid new.
All their roaster (AG) changed after Midseason 2024, only save coach Quinn from KPL (Crown Watcher).
They have last teammate jungler and Head Coach from OG (Team Vitality last).
Have a similar playstyle. Just looks their replays and what OG do.
2024: Top Lane XingLin, Jungler DaoDao (OG) and HC Andy (OG) join. Fable changes position from Top Lane to
Middle . Jungler Dream and Middle Yin leave. Then, in 2025 Yin comeback mid.
All big tournaments BSE plays with 2 coaches

22. Feelings about new patch comings

Rise manapools of heroes and mana regen reduction
Before patch:
Mozi (hero)
After Patch:
Adding 220 mana, for Mozi 1st skill mana cost: 70, 2nd skill mana cost: 50;
Thoughts about it:
1) I think, all spam nukers supps will be not effective on early stage, like before patch. Especially,
Yuhuan. I hope that KWC will show, that this hero is not perfect
2) This definitely slows down the pace of the game.
3) Auto attackers and heroes with hybrid build will be more effective

23.

Rise of attack speed – u start the game with 5% for more attack speed without
runes. So, even if don’t have runes for attack
Speed – u will receive 5% bonus; after every level up u get extra 1.5% attack speed.
With this start bonus it’s interesting
how u need change the build of heroes

Early, find this article, need to check runes and predict powerspike for all heroes we used:
https://pvp.qq.com/m/m201606/newCont.shtml?G_Biz=18&tid=509370

25.

Adding 4 creeps in midlane for 4 first minutes; IT’S a LOT!
At the same time after u get one side early u have 1 megacreep + 1 melee + 1ranged; it’s not often enough to end
Game with 1 side without final fighting (splitpush)

26. comparison with another popular game DOTA2 when the same things happens

Probably, we need to find greedy mid heroes or play with 2 ADC
In this patch. Compare with our update in Honor of Kings
