WE's coach, HooN, was still hesitating.
He didn't expect YM to not ban Ember for the last ban. Instead, they banned Gnar, who didn't seem to have a high priority.
Didn't the red team ban Ember by default?
Why was YM the only special one?
WE's coach felt that his work last night was in vain. He knew that YM liked to play all kinds of tricks in the regular season, but he didn't expect this new team to dare to take the unusual path.
"Do you want to take Ember?" 957 turned his head and asked. There were still 15 seconds left.
"… Take it."
WE's coach made the decision. He didn't dare to give Ember to JKL. The five-kill Ember against EDG was still fresh in his mind.
Mystic sat on the chair and pinched his fingers. He was a little worried.
In the entire summer season, he used four Ember and only won one. His opponent was SAT, who had been relegated to the LSPL.
The red team YM decisively chose Princes and Tam.
In Version 6.15, Princes' E [Debang Army Flag] passive and active attack speed bonuses were improved. For Phyllostachys Pubescens who specialized in Princes, it was definitely a big boost.
"This Tam is to break up the Ember + Tam combo. After all, these two heroes can blend into the top lane and have strong mid-game support protection and fighting ability …" Mille analyzed a lot.
WE's team picked Centaur and Ike.
"Give Jack Ice. Jin Gong, what do you want to play?" Hanyi asked.
Now that the top lane was special, he had to ask for Jin Gong's opinion.
Since Version 6.13 weakened the teleportation time from 3.5S to 4.5S, the top lane was now gradually becoming an orphan lane.
There were often situations where the other four teammates were in full swing, while the two in the top lane were still farming. Even the caster didn't want to focus on the top lane. It was too boring.
"Shen, let's play quick support and catch them in the bottom lane!" Lin Yan turned his head and looked at Jin Gong.
"Okay, okay."
Jin Gong's voice was cheerful. He didn't want to farm with his opponent, Dan Ping. That kind of game would be too boring.
After teleportation was weakened, Shen successfully became a top-tier top laner.
In the early stage, Shen relied on Q skills to have a good fighting ability, and E's taunt control was quite outstanding in the team battle.
On the other hand, R's channeling time was only three seconds, and it came with a layer of protective shield. Its posture was cool, and it could even rub shoulders with the caster's camera. It was much better than the current version of teleportation.
"Bull's Head, Chieftain, and Sindra. WE has confirmed their final selection." Mille nodded. "This lineup is stable. Entry, protection, and damage are all sufficient."
"Look at YM's last choice … Ice Maiden!"
Doll was a little excited. "I haven't seen this hero in a long time. After Ran entered LPL, he rarely chose this hero."
"But Ice Maiden will have a hard time playing against Sindra," Mille analyzed objectively. "She'll be exhausted."
"YM is gone in the first round." Joker's words were shocking.
His words shocked Mille and Doll.
"Uh … what do you mean?" Mille tried to answer.
"The five YM players don't deal any damage. How can Ice Maiden and Eich's damage compare to Sindra and Shiki's?"
Joker gave his own explanation. "Not to mention, Bull's Head is standing in front of them. Will Ice give Bull's Head a scrape in the team battle?"
Su Cheng's father, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, heard the commentator's words and turned his head to ask his daughter.
"What do you mean?
Is the lineup that YM took … bad? "He thought about it and applied what he had learned. He repeated the words that Lin Ran had taught him.
Su Cheng saw Lin Yan smiling and talking to Xiao Tian in the middle of the players' seats. Her confidence suddenly increased.
"Lin Yan is going to win this round. I don't even know how they're going to lose."
She raised the Lin Yan cartoon support item she had received outside the stadium to cheer for her boyfriend.
"It's good that he can win."
Su Cheng's mother breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that the two elders would cause Lin Yan to perform poorly.
"YM: I didn't even know I was going to lose."
"Hahahaha, Joker, I'm dying of laughter. How did Titan win in Ran's midlaner?"
"He only understands this game. He doesn't understand YM's 16 consecutive wins in the regular season."
"I'm an YM fan, thank you Zhou Kole. With his help, YM is going to win today."
"WE fans want to go up and slap him until his mouth is broken."
The comments were laughing and the commentator was bitter.
Hearing Joker's words, Mille pursed his lips and didn't know how to continue. Doll quickly tried to smooth things over.
"YM's lineup is indeed average in the frontal battle, but we all know that YM has always been good at supporting from the flanks. This lineup fits their characteristics."
The lineups of both sides were confirmed and loaded into the Summoner's Canyon interface.
Blue WE: Ike, Centaur, Sindra, Ember, Bull's Head.
Red YM: Shen, Princes, Lisandro, Ice Shooter, Tam.
With this lineup, Lin Yan felt that they had already won half of the first game.
Su Cheng's analysis that night was correct on one point: WE's early game rhythm was really bad.
Moreover, they wouldn't focus on the bottom lane in the early game. In the summer tournament, Mystic had an average of 1.5 damage per game in the first 15 minutes. As WE's star AD player, this number could reflect a lot of problems.
WE preferred to work around the midlaner in the early game and return the development environment to Mystic in the mid game.
The drawbacks of this strategy were quite obvious. As long as the opponent's midlaner was stronger than WE's midlaner, it would be difficult for them to open the game.
Unfortunately, Lin Yan and Xiao Tian were one of the few LPL midlaners that weren't afraid of WE.
Moreover, YM was using a control lineup in the early game while WE's two Cs didn't have any displacement …
The two of them were already discussing the withdrawal route.
Jin Gong placed an accessory eye in the blue zone in front of WE's jungler to confirm Centaur's opening route.
Lin Ran brought the Corruption Potion online. Seer was also extremely astute, as she chose to equip the same equipment as him, instead of the Doran's Ring, which had a greater suppressive effect.
Xi Ye's mission in this game was to continuously push and trap Lin Yan so that he couldn't wander around and set the pace.
For this reason, he started pushing with Q's Shadow Ball at level one. Lin Yan ignored it and only used normal attacks to eat the tail blade. The minions were naturally pushed out by Sindra.
However, Xi Ye didn't expect Xiao Tian's Princes to gank directly after the red buff.
He EQ'd Sindra from the bushes and kept stabbing Sindra's delicate body with his halberd. At the same time, he squeezed his body forward and blocked Sindra's path back to the tower.
The red buff's slow effect and blocking made it difficult for Xi Ye to move.
Lin Yan's Q's Ice Shard also stabbed his body.
Xi Ye's Sindra was forced to use Blink. He passed through Princes' position and returned to the bottom of the tower. He only had less than 13 health left.
How despicable, getting caught at level two?
Xi Ye cursed inwardly. He was glad that he brought the Corruption Potion. Otherwise, he would have to return to the city after this wave.
However, he had no choice but to give up on pushing. Lin Yan and Princes pushed the second wave of minions into Xi Ye's tower and then disappeared from sight.
"Are Ice Maiden and Princes going to counter the red?"
Mille shouted. "YM doesn't want to develop peacefully. They want to use Princes's level two advantage to do something!"
