Since it was an entertainment match, everyone's playstyle was quite bold and unrestrained. Every minute, there would be a kill. Every now and then, there would be some delightful maneuvers, which made the bullet screen exclaim in satisfaction.
The game went on for 25 minutes, and the two sides broke out into a ten-man team battle in the top lane.
Xiao Tian took the opportunity to circle around the back. His hands were extremely fast, and he sent JKL flying with a [Touch of the Eye].
The moment he kicked Policewoman's delicate and soft body, he was overjoyed. The Policewoman from Pi City couldn't help but fall towards her teammates.
If nothing unexpected happened, this kick would send all four of the enemy players flying and turn them into candied haws.
However, Xiao Tian didn't expect that the mole was actually in his team.
Lin Yan frantically pressed R the moment he saw the Policewoman's big move mark. In the end, Yasso flew towards the Policewoman before she could hit her teammates.
Policewoman stopped in mid-air and was sent flying by Yasso's [Storm of Extinction Slash]. However, she indirectly protected her teammates.
Lin Yan's teammates hurriedly followed up with their attacks. However, JKL was able to survive for two seconds under Xiao Ming's protection. The three pieces of [Endless Hurricane Cannon] only took two seconds to reduce Blind Monk and Yasso's health to critical levels.
Lin Yan's final [Flash of the Eye] finally finished off JKL. However, he and Blind Monk also fell into a pool of blood. Da Sima's Wine Barrel exploded and scattered the formation. After that, it was time for Huo Xingbao and Jin Gong to reap the harvest.
Hammer Stone alone couldn't protect Lin Yan at all. The team battle was like crushing dry weeds. Lin Yan's Happy Windman's final score stopped at 18 points.
"Brother Ran, I'm going to vomit!" Xiao Tian watched the base explode and shouted in grief. "You're the mole, right?
How did you receive that blow so quickly? "
JKL, who was standing at the side, laughed out loud. "Brother Ran, this Yasso is comparable to my Barbarian King, okay?"
JKL's Barbarian King and his Draven were both very powerful in Thunderclap. The only difference was that one was chosen to make his opponents happy, while the other was chosen to make his teammates happy. It was a common occurrence for him to use Barbarian King to achieve a score of 08.
"I'm going to laugh myself to death. Is this what you call a shill?"
"That last wave of Cluster R was really quick. If he had this hand speed when he was escaping, F4 wouldn't have been able to trap Brother Ran at all."
"This Yasso is really weird. He won just because he didn't accept the last R, right?
Brother Ran is really a mole. "
After the livestream competition ended, the YM players went to their respective posts. Lin Yan had livestreamed the Korean server for four hours and had successfully lost seven times in a row, dropping from King 650 points to King Goalkeeper.
"I'm convinced. Is he really going to kill indiscriminately in the competition and defend his home on the livestream?"
"I didn't expect to not win a single game in one night."
The bullet screen mocked and ridiculed Lin Yan without restraint.
Lin Ran had already expected this. His goal in playing the Korean server was not to increase his ranking. He was playing the unpopular heroes that he was unfamiliar with so that he could adapt to the changes in the game.
After the mid-season update, a large number of unconventional Mages rose to prominence, all because of one piece of equipment: Rocket Belt.
It changed the midlaner.
This piece of equipment could not only increase health, but also provide a good cooldown reduction and magic buff. Coupled with the ability to clear the lane and fight, it could be said to be the king of the early game.
It was no exaggeration to say that Rocket Belt had single-handedly changed the ecology of the midlaner.
The first to rise was Vampire, who had returned from the S6 pre-season. This hero was originally level 13 — before his E ability was fully upgraded, his fighting ability and lane clearing ability were relatively average.
However, Rocket Belt perfectly solved Vampire's early game predicament, making him a hot topic in the game. Lin Yan had also been practicing recently. He had a feeling that this hero would become a key player in the second half of the summer tournament.
In the training room, Xiao Tian lined up across from Jin Gong. Phyllostachys Pubescens rather shamelessly turned his head to peek at Jin Gong's screen, causing him to fly into a rage. He threatened to break Xiao Tian's neck.
YM ended their livestream amidst laughter and laughter, and the Shark-fighting platform was quite satisfied.
They had successfully used YM's traffic to attract a large number of viewers and promoted their own streamers.
Lin Yan and JKL's popularity matched their previous analysis. They had a large number of fans and a certain amount of paying. If this continued, it would not take long for them to break even.
YM rested for ten days before facing their next opponent, Snakes. Snakes' top jungler was the prodigy Saint Spear Bro and the Vietnamese bandit SOFM.
Their biggest weakness was their ADC — Martin, also known as Ding Huang. He was slightly stronger than Rain Emperor from IG, and could deal an average of 4 more damage per minute.
The only good thing about Ding Huang was that he really did not eat the economy. Even when he left the lane, he only farmed his own minions and did not dirty the jungler's economy.
To put it nicely, he was a clock-in AD. To put it bluntly, he was a jungler. Lin Yan did not know how he managed to squeeze out Brother Krystal Crystal, who had been in the limelight last year, to become the starting AD.
When JKL heard that his opponent was Ding Huang, he was a little depressed. He really wanted to fight Brother Crystal. After all, his opponent was also a Draven player. JKL wanted to spar with him.
On the field, JKL never held back against a jungler like Ding Huang. He took out his skateboard shoes and rode on his opponent's face. In the BO3, he managed to kill him four times in a row.
Lin Yan also did a good job against the Korean tank, but they still lost the first round.
In that round, SOFM's nanqiang was like a wild dog that had escaped its leash. He charged madly at Xiao Tian's jungler.
He was very familiar with the nanqiang. The level 3 nanqiang invaded the jungler's jungler and used Xiao Tian's Blink. After that, the pace of the jungler's jungler was firmly grasped by the nanqiang.
Blind Monk, who had not been able to break through the early game, faced off against a nanqiang who was in the lead. It was a tragedy.
Lin Yan and Xiao Ming had no choice but to give up their lane and go to the jungler's jungler to help Xiao Tian.
However, SOFM was still two levels ahead of Xiao Tian. The top lane Spear Bro was also suppressing Jin Gong. YM relied on Lin Yan's Viktor to clear the lane for 35 minutes. However, SOFM's 300 nanqiang came out and ended the battle.
Blink AQER's combo caused Lin Yan to lose his ability to fight. Martin's Chiwil used his R to speed up and keep Lin Yan alive. Even JKL, who had no solution for his fertilizer, was unable to turn the tables.
However, Hanyi left one of the junglers for Nanqiang, forcing SOFM to use Excavator and Blind Monk. Even though they still had a lead in jungler numbers, Xiao Tian was able to successfully control the pace of the jungler's jungler and help the team win.
After taking down Snake, who was ranked second in Group B, YM faced off against their old rival, IM, who had also risen from the LSPL.
After IM had risen to LPL, they continued to play in a stable Korean style. They were now ranked third in Group B, and their record was barely passable.
This team's playstyle was too stable. The individual strength of their players was not at the top of LPL. They relied on the Korean style to play against weak teams. They played steadily and rarely lost.
However, once they met a strong team, their lane advantage would be destroyed. In the middle of the game, they would not be able to rely on their vision advantage to turn the tables.
Strong teams were not easy to deal with when they had the upper hand. They would not give IM or 8K the chance to turn the tables.
YM was now one of the top teams in LPL. They used their lane advantage to take down three small dragons very early on and turned their advantage into victory.
After two rounds of crushing, and a clean 2: 0 victory over Team NB, YM returned to Group B with a luxurious record of 11 wins and 0 losses to continue the civil war.
The original second in Group B, WE, lost to IM in the last round of the round-robin matches. No one knew what kind of evil they had believed, but they had chosen a strange lineup of Malzahar + EZ. In the late game, they could not beat AJ's tanky Titan at all.
As a result, Team WE fell to third place in Group B.
YM's next opponent was RNG. If they beat them and took down LGD and OMG, the two weak teams, they would be able to secure first place in Group B.
If RNG still wanted to fight for first place in Group B, they had to win this match and pray that WE could also beat YM.
