EDG's second blue buff had just refreshed. Lin Yan and Xiao Tian did not stand on ceremony and decisively took it.
Factory Director could only go to the bottom half of his zone after patching the line. He then ventured into YM's jungle. He wanted to take advantage of Xiao Tian's absence to kill two groups of monsters to make up for his development.
However, Xiao Ming was very smart. He knew that Factory Director had nowhere to go at this time. He first set up a vision in his own jungle. When he saw Wine Barrel invading, he immediately rushed over. W swallowed the Wine Barrel who was farming three wolves into his mouth and then smashed it in the other direction.
Factory Director returned without success and was forced to farm a River Crab to have a good meal.
"Now that Factory Director's flash is almost done, and Scout has reached level 6, let's see who they target in the first wave of roaming," Mille said. "If the card's first big move doesn't gain any advantage, then EDG can only drag it out until the mid-game."
Lin Yan took out Hex Technologies Revolver and Red Crystal and rushed to the line. After the level of Q's [Ice Fragment] increased, Lisandro, who had a blue buff, pushed the line faster and faster.
The naked card master's efficiency in taking troops was not high. Scout was suppressed under the tower and could not move.
If the card wanted to roam, the necessary prerequisite was to push the line of troops.
First, it was because if he did not push the line of troops, he would lose more. Second, if he stayed under the tower, the 5,500 yards distance of the big move would make it impossible for him to reach the top and bottom lanes quickly.
He had no choice but to call Factory Director to help deal with this wave of troops.
Lin Yan saw Wine Barrel appear in the middle lane and was not afraid at all. He kept moving forward with a wild look on his face.
"Princes should be squatting. I don't dare to push over." Factory Director was a little hesitant. The fear buried in his genes was triggered again.
EDG could not see Princes at all since the three lines of minions had been suppressed. At this time, he could not determine Princes' position at all if he did not show himself.
If he forcefully pushed this wave of minions away, the Ice Maiden would make a move to stop them, and Princes would appear. His Blink was still a few seconds away from healing, and he would most likely be hit again.
Therefore, the Factory Director only dared to help Scout push the minions to the center.
"Isn't Factory Director going up this time?" Doll was in disbelief. "There's no one behind Ran. He's just playing around."
"I can only say that the Factory Director is too steady," Remember said. "He's probably afraid of Xiao Tian's counterattack."
"Aren't you going to catch Ice Maiden for being so pretentious?"
"I'm convinced. The Factory Director is really a coward. If it was a Saucepan, he would have gone up already."
"Saucepan?
Are you talking about the brute who got beaten up by Factory Director in the semi-finals? "
"Stop scolding, stop scolding. Isn't this a tradition of EDG?
He's an old coward. "
The bullet screens of the major live streaming platforms exploded. Watching the game from an observer's point of view, the viewers felt that the Factory Director was a coward.
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Wine Barrel wobbling away from the middle lane with his belly sticking out.
Although the Factory Director had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, he had a fatal weakness. He was always overcautious. To put it nicely, he was steady, but to put it bluntly, he was a coward.
Lin Yan knew exactly what the Factory Director was thinking. Therefore, when he saw Wine Barrel appear in the middle lane, he did not panic at all. Instead, he appeared calm and composed. He moved closer to the front, and the Ice Shards in his hand continued to deplete the card's HP.
He knew that as long as Xiao Tian did not show himself, the Factory Director would not be able to catch him. Based on his cautious style, he would definitely pull a support or a top laner before making a move.
When the Factory Director saw Lin Yan's arrogant positioning, he was even more certain of his judgment.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile.
Little guy, you want to seduce me, the Immortal Pig, with this level of skill?
You're still too inexperienced.
I won't take the risk to catch you. Isn't F4 good?
Just as he smashed Wine Barrel in his hand onto F4, the Factory Director heard Mouse cursing in a low voice.
On the minimap, Princes appeared in the top lane!
The EQ in the grass sent Gnar flying into the air before he could react. Xiao Tian cooperated with Captain Jin Gong's Two Consecutive Barrels and a Q [Gunfire Negotiation] to kill Ah Guang, who was at low HP.
The Factory Director's expression changed instantly. His originally bright smile was quickly covered by a layer of haze.
Even the soundproof headphones could not block out the cheers and screams of the tens of thousands of people at the scene.
The Factory Director knew that from the observer's point of view, he was like a self-righteous clown, not to mention that he had previously told his teammates that "Princes should be in the middle lane."
As a 23-year-old esports veteran, he could not help but blush.
After eating F4, the Factory Director replenished his energy and came back to his senses.
He could no longer sit still and wait for death. He had to quickly attack to salvage the disadvantageous situation.
However, the top half of the jungle was tightly controlled by Xiao Tian. He could only go to the bottom lane to find an opportunity to let Deft take down a blood tower and then change lanes to lead the tempo.
"Can you help me find Princes's position?"
The Factory Director asked for help. He knew that there must be eyes in the triangular grass, so he specifically used [Meat Bomb Impact] to go to the bottom lane blindly.
At this time, Ah Guang found that Jin Gong was suppressing forward again, and even began to cross the army line to consume his energy.
With Flare, the captain's damage suddenly increased. His Gnar was careless and was hit by Jin Gong's Two Consecutive Barrels. His HP was already half gone.
He looked at the eager captain and recalled the scene of his tower being crossed. His fingers trembled reflexively.
"Princes might be up there!" Ah Guang hurriedly said.
Might be, what did that mean?
The Factory Director frowned and was a little dissatisfied. He was afraid of such uncertain factors. If he was counter-squatted again, he would be completely invisible in this game.
"Let me show you."
Scout hesitated for a moment and said. He threw a red card in his hand and hit a wave of artillery troops that were about to enter the defense tower.
Wine Barrel burped in agreement.
Card R [Fate] activated.
Scarlet eyeballs flashed above the heads of the five enemy players.
"Be careful in the middle lane!"
The Factory Director's eyes were sharp. He immediately saw Princes on the mini-map. The sinister and cunning Xiao Tian was actually guarding the position between EDG's Third Wolf Camp and the middle first tower!
Scout reacted, but it was too late.
He had just used a red card and did not have Flash or Purify. He also had no teammates around him.
And Lin Yan decided to make a move the moment he saw the card activate R.
What did a card that had just used a red card and was pushed out want to do by activating R. The answer was obvious — it must be to provide the jungler with the opponent's information and position to help his teammates catch him.
If Wine Barrel was going to grab him, Scout wouldn't have thrown out a red card. The Naked Lunch Box card and Wine Barrel, who hadn't made a jungling knife, didn't have enough damage. If not for the control provided by the yellow card, it would be impossible to kill Lin Ran.
That Factory Director must be in one of the up and down paths.
In other words, Scout's card activating R. In this situation, it was equivalent to telling YM's Nakano: I'm the only one around here, come and catch me.
Lin Yan naturally would not let go of this opportunity. He called for Xiao Tian and was about to make a move.
Scout did not use his straw sandals. With the movement speed provided by the runes, the card master could not even dodge Princes's EQ second combo.
He was sent flying in the air and another two combo with thunder came crashing down.
This time, Lin Yan did not activate R. But the two of them relied on their damage to kill Scout and then retreated safely.
The factory director was a little annoyed, but since he had Little Tian's position, he was able to coordinate with the bottom lane and find an opportunity. Meiko's Blink finally came in handy. Her extremely fast W and Blink sent both JKL and Little Ming flying.
Deft shot a Magical Crystal Arrow and hit JKL. Factory Director did not give him a chance and continued to control with his E flash.
Without any suspense, JKL and Xiao Ming died in the bottom lane.
But JKL's Q [Piercing Arrow] before he died reduced the health of the incoming minions.
This prevented the three EDG players from pushing the tower.
At this time, the top lane also bloomed.
Jin Gong actually single-handedly killed Guang Er. He took two damage from the tower and used the last piece of tangerine to recover his health and successfully escaped.
"What's going on, Brother Siba?" Xiao Tian said, "You can still single-handedly kill others?"
Jin Gong returned to the city from the bushes at the side of EDG's top lane tower, laughing foolishly.
The captain was his most proud signature hero. With Xiao Tian and Lin Yan helping him twice, he would feel ashamed if he still could not kill Guang Er.
Lin Yan and Xiao Tian in the middle lane used the passive attack speed buff from Debon Army Flag to grind down the middle lane tower to half health.
"The first ultimate of the card was used just like that …" Mille shook his head. "EDG is in a bad situation."
"This ultimate will take three minutes, and Ice Maiden's teleport is about to finish. I don't know if EDG can defend against the next wave of attacks." Remember also felt that EDG was in a difficult situation this round.
Currently, only the bottom lane of EDG could keep up with the development of their opponents. The other three players were far behind YM in terms of economy and level.
This was definitely not good news. Ice Maiden, Princes, Verus, and the captain were all very strong in the mid-game. Once EDG fell into a disadvantage in the early game, the next 15 minutes would be very difficult to deal with.
Lin Yan ate Scout's head and returned to the city to replenish his Rocket Belt. His ability to push the line had improved by another level.
Factory Director went back to replenish his Devil's Codex, wanting to speed up the pace.
Bull's Head and Ice at the bottom lane did not have any skills left at this time. As for the top lane … Factory Director's years of professional experience made him subconsciously ignore Guang Er's point.
Only the middle lane was left.
Coincidentally, there was a wave of pushing minions at the bottom lane. Meiko had nothing to do, so she simply followed behind Factory Director to set the pace.
Factory Director reminded Scout and rushed to the middle lane with Bull's Head.
Lin Yan was still roaming in the middle lane. His combat power was much higher than the cards because of the equipment he made in advance. With the help of the minions' two [Ice Fragments], the cards' HP was reduced by 25%.
Factory Director popped his head out from the bushes below, holding a huge Wine Barrel in his arms and taking a big gulp. Together with Bull's Head, he valiantly rushed towards Lin Yan.
Lin Yan was still roaming there. When he saw the two players from EDG, he even pressed the'S 'button and twitched twice on the spot.
It seemed like he was teasing them.
Come and play with me.
It was obvious that there was someone behind him.
The factory director was furious. I've been fooled by you once, and you expect me to be fooled again?
This time I brought Bull's Head's men!
Absolute control!
Scout began to choose his cards, using the extra movement speed provided by the runes to move forward. He also wanted to imitate Lin Yan's previous maneuver and play a fake yellow card.
However, this was different from the time when Lin Yan played Xi Ye. The distance between them was too far now.
Lin Yan saw the cards throw out a blue poker card from his arms. He knew that Scout was playing a trick, so he ignored him and retreated to the side.
Scout saw that he could not fool Lin Yan, so he could only throw out a real yellow card.
However, to his surprise, Lin Yan did not use his R to avoid this yellow card, and was stunned on the spot.
Card had just reached level 8, and a level 2 W yellow card's effect could stun the target for 1.25 seconds.
Factory Director was overjoyed. As long as he and Bull's Head could keep up with their control, Lin Yan would definitely not be able to use his ultimate move after this combo!
As Meiko had bought a pair of shoes when she returned to the city last time, she ran very fast and got closer to Lin Yan before Factory Director's Wine Barrel.
Bull's Head's WQ kept up with the damage and Ignite. Factory Director also cast his E [Meat Egg Impact]. He moved forward with his belly, wanting to press Ice Maiden under his body and ravage her to vent his anger.
However, at this moment, a flag fell from the sky!
Dressed in golden armor, Jiawen the Fourth rushed out from the bushes, aiming his halberd at Wine Barrel and Bull's Head!
Although he was stunned by Wine Barrel's belly midway, Xiao Tian successfully blocked this key control for Lin Yan!
Factory Director did not expect Xiao Tian to be lying in ambush here. If Princes had arrived a second later, the outcome of this wave of capture would have been different — his ER combo could have completely controlled Ice Maiden to death.
Lin Yan snickered in his heart.
You didn't expect this, right? This bowl, this bowl, this bowl is really tempting.
The EDG players only saw the second floor and thought that Lin Yan was on the first floor. However, he was actually on the fifth floor.
[Cannon Bullet Screen]!
Captain Jin Gong's ultimate move support came at this moment, and the center of the circle was right under Lin Yan's feet.
Planck's pirate ship wantonly showered the area with cannonballs. Bull's Head, the cards, and Wine Barrel were all hit by the cannonballs and slowed down.
"Demacia!"
Jiawen the Fourth, who had recovered from the stunned state, roared and trapped Bull's Head, Wine Barrel, and Lin Yan's Ice Maiden into the ring of obstacles.
Factory Director threw his R [Exploding Wine Barrel] into the air, trying to kill Lin Yan and then repel Princes.
However, Factory Director's meatball impact did not hit Lin Yan.
There was one less control.
As a result, Bull's Head's control ended the moment the huge Exploding Wine Barrel appeared. Lin Yan fell to the ground with less than 13% of his HP left. He decisively healed himself.
Icebound Tomb completely froze the witches from Freljord, avoiding the damage from Wine Barrel's ultimate move.
"EDG is in trouble this time!" Remember shouted. "Ice Maiden was not killed by the control. He survived and used his ultimate move!"
"Factory Director and Meiko did not use Flash in Princes' ultimate move!" Mille followed up and explained. "They don't have displacement skills, so they can't run away from Captain's ultimate move!"
Previously, Ice Maiden and Princes' explosive damage, coupled with Captain's full cannon barrage, killed Brittle Wine Barrel immediately.
The remaining Bull's Head and the cards did not have enough damage to kill Lin Yan. Meiko, who was also in Princes' ultimate move, was forced to use her own ultimate move.
The two of them hurriedly fled. Lin Yan recovered from the frozen state and used Q and push rod to return to the city.
Factory Director bit his lip in frustration. Every time he made this expression, it meant that he was angry and unwilling.
He did not expect that after being in the LPL for five years, he would be so clearly schemed against.
The opposite midlaner's fake and fake seduction made him upset.
"Hahahaha, you didn't go up when you should, and now you're forcefully grabbing someone and giving him 300 dollars."
"YM, kill them!
As long as you win EDG, we'll be good brothers. "
"Oh, Bull's Head, the RNG fans are climbing the wall again?"
"After this round of EDG's early game, the pace is really explosive."
Mille could not help but shake his head and sigh as he watched Xiao Tian go to the jungle to counter another group of F4 and then go to eat the newly spawned Earth Dragon.
"It's only been nine and a half minutes, how many groups of Factory Director has Xiao Tian countered?"
"Factory Director can't take it anymore. Previously, he could barely keep up with the level because of the two waves of minions in the middle and bottom lane. Now that he's revived, the jungle at home is almost all eaten up."
Remember lamented, "Wine Barrel can't farm now, and there's no flash or big move. Factory Director has nowhere to go!"
"The most important thing is the bottom lane. The minions that just advanced were unexpectedly flashed by JKL to R, and Xiao Ming went around to hit Deft with a big move. Now the Ice can't even eat the minions and can only watch from the back."
Doll sighed. He knew that EDG was really difficult this round.
EDG, whose rhythm was broken again, could only choose to hide and develop. They could not set up their vision to let Lin Yan and Xiao Tian roam more comfortably.
At 11 minutes, Lin Yan and Xiao Tian took the opportunity to move down and exert pressure. Deft, who did not have a flash, could only give up the bottom lane tower.
Xiao Tian did not hold back and quickly swept Factory Director's jungle. At this point, YM's economic advantage reached 3.5K.
EDG, the LPL Galactic Battleship, was on the verge of collapse.
