"In the fourth round, YM chose the blue side, while EDG chose the red side …"
As usual, Hanyi sent Excavator, Chiwil, and Tam to the ban positions, while EDG first banned the two heroes, Captain and Vampire, before hesitating for a long time on the last ban.
In the last two seconds of the countdown, they finally decided on the last ban position — Blind Monk.
"Are they going to release Ember?" Mille was a little surprised. "Is EDG changing their strategy again?"
"They have no choice. In the second round, they released Blind Monk on the red side, and Factory Director couldn't find the rhythm for the whole game," Remember explained. "If they don't adjust their BP, EDG is likely to repeat the mistakes of the second round."
There was no reason for YM not to take Ember, and it wasn't like JKL didn't know how to play.
"Princes and Bard, huh? EDG seems to want to continue to speed up and play support in the early game," Mille analyzed. "They've tasted the sweetness of the previous early game."
Bard was chosen and Tam was banned. In this version, there were only two good choices left, Bull's Head and Boulogne. Xiao Ming did not hesitate to choose Bull's Head. After all, Boulogne and Ember were difficult to play together.
Hanyi then took Shen for Jin Gong.
"Is EDG still … Big Tree?"
Mille was not surprised. "Deft will take Ice and leave a counter position for Fat General."
"Let's see YM's last two choices," Remember said. "Let's first choose Spider for Xiao Tian. It's not a big problem. This hero is really good against Princes."
"Let's see what Ran wants to use …" Mille took a deep breath.
Xiao Ming did not hesitate. After searching for the hero, he clicked confirm.
The live audience and the commentator burst into a burst of exclamations!
A dragon-shaped creature occupied the hero selection box on the fifth floor of YM. Its body was blue, and there was a faint astral power lingering around it!
Starcast Dragon King, Aurelian Sol!
"Dragon King!"
Mille instantly became excited. "It only appeared briefly in the mid-season version, and then it was rarely used in the entire summer season. Today, Ran wants to use it in the finals. What an unexpected choice!"
The EDG team was obviously a little surprised. Lin Yan always chose heroes that exceeded their expectations. The BP strategy that they had painstakingly prepared to deal with the two heroes, Titan and Rambo, had not been used until now.
"How about the Enchantress and Swordsman?
It's very easy to defeat the Dragon King. "The Factory Director tilted his head, his face full of hope.
He was still hoping that the fat general would use this Assassin to teach Lin Yan a lesson. Of course, it would be best if he could win along the way.
The fat general naturally knew that it would be easier for these two heroes to deal with the Dragon King, and they happened to be in his hero pool.
He looked at Meiko and was about to ask him to lock Enchantress down.
However, a sharp pain suddenly came from his waist. He had just asked the doctor to treat it in the lounge, but it still didn't have much effect.
The fat general's face stiffened as he recalled his slow flash in the last round.
"Let's play cards. I'll roam the jungle." The fat general hesitated for a moment, but still decided to play it safe.
Lin Yan saw EDG's last card choice and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
Sure enough, the fat general today would not choose this kind of Assassin who walked on the edge of the knife.
The lineups of both sides were confirmed.
The blue side YM: Shen, Spider, Dragon King, Ember, Bull's Head.
The red side EDG: Big Tree, Princes, Cards, Ice, Bard.
"I think the early stage of the competition between the two sides will be based on the efficiency of their roaming," Miller said. "If EDG's three roaming points are suppressed, then EDG will have no choice but to drag it out and wait for the later stage of the team battle."
"That's right. Whether YM can speed up the pace in the early stage of this game depends on how much Ran's Dragon King can play."
After loading into the Summoner's Canyon interface, Lin Yan bought the Corruption Potion and went online.
Level 1 YM was much stronger than EDG. Although they had the Big Tree Card to control the situation, Dragon King's Level 1 W [Star Dome Explosion] and the surrounding protective planets' AOE damage was a Level 1 team weapon.
Xiao Ming swaggered into the jungle behind Dragon King. In front of Meiko, he inserted the accessory's eye into the blue buff grass and probed Princes's early game route.
Factory Director Level 1 was popular as usual.
Lin Yan learned this news and began to plan the early game attack.
At 1 minute and 38 seconds, Lin Yan stepped forward and began to push the line.
Dragon King's early game ability to push the line was undeniable. He was also firmly in the top position among the more than 100 heroes.
Lin Yan walked to the side of the minions, activated W, and pushed the protective planets into outer orbit.
Pawn saw Lin Yan trying to push the line and immediately began to cut the yellow cards.
However, Lin Yan pulled back a little so that his protective planets could still hit three melee soldiers.
Pawn tried to go forward and forcibly stun Lin Yan.
As long as Dragon King was stunned, his W would retract to the inner orbit and the damage would be much lower. The speed of clearing the minions would be much slower.
However, Lin Yan didn't give him the chance.
He and Fat General both brought three Movement Essence Runes, and Dragon King's W's distance (550) was higher than the card's normal attack (525).
Lin Yan took advantage of the gap in attack distance and used the protective planets to hit Fat General twice.
Pawn could only step back. However, he was very experienced. He didn't throw out the yellow card in his hand and blocked Lin Yan from threatening the rear troops.
However, the yellow card's time was limited. At the moment when it was about to disappear, Pawn used the yellow card to kill a melee soldier.
Lin Yan saw that Pawn had given up control and decisively turned back to continue eating minions.
Since Pawn didn't let him get close with the yellow card, Lin Yan lost some more mana to send this wave of minions into the first tower.
Then he began to wander to both sides of the middle lane to see if he could catch traces of the Factory Director.
The four Sharp-Beaked Birds in the Factory Director's favorite F4 were still alive and well. Princes's vicious hands didn't touch them.
In the lower half of the jungle.
Lin Yan had a rough guess of the Factory Director's position.
However, since he had come to the EDG jungle, it wasn't good to go back empty-handed.
He used the passive Astral Body's damage and the pull of his normal attacks to eat a small Sharp-Beaked Bird and advance to Level 2.
"F4: You can escape the Factory Director, but you can't escape Ran?"
"I'm convinced. EDG against YM, and F4 is the one who suffers the most."
"Hahahaha, do they all have to eat birds?"
Lin Yan replied again. Pawn played the same trick again. He held a yellow card in his hand and didn't let Lin Yan go forward to clean up the long-range minions.
However, in Lin Yan's view, this didn't do anything other than let him consume more mana. After all, the card was stuck after the yellow card was drawn, and the speed of clearing the minions was much slower.
When Pawn threw out the yellow card in his hand, Lin Yan went forward and started eating the minions.
The protective planet enveloped five minions at the same time. Lin Yan used a normal attack to eat the sixth minion, and it only took seven seconds to push all the minions over.
Without a red card, the card master could only rely on Q [Omnipotent Card] to clear the minions, which was not very efficient.
At this time, Lin Yan estimated that Princes's farming time was definitely not up to Level 3. He just didn't know if the Factory Director would finish eating mana before fighting the three wolves or the three wolves before eating mana.
But it didn't matter. He could catch his position anyway.
"Go, go, go!" Lin Yan began to instruct Xiao Tian to lead the rhythm.
Xiao Tian only used two buffs and was in good condition. He followed Lin Yan and went straight into the Factory Director's jungle!
Deft was different from JKL in the previous game. He was level 2 and had leveled up his E skill. When he saw Dragon King disappear in the middle lane, he decisively shot out his Spirit Eagle to scout ahead.
The icy blue Spirit Eagle streaked across the river and illuminated Dragon King's vision. However, Xiao Tian's spider was moving towards the jungle from the triangular bushes at the bottom lane and was not discovered.
"Let's stall him at the bottom lane and not let Bard pass!" JKL also knew his team's plan and made a prompt decision to start fighting.
Minotaur flashed and hit Minotaur with a WQ, sending him into the air. Ember didn't hesitate, using a normal attack and a W to lock Bard in place before using a CC on him. Then, he used a Q [Dance Grenade].
Brittle Bard's health dropped by more than half in an instant. Although Deft had level 2 stats, he had leveled up with a useless E skill. He couldn't win against a strong champion like Ember.
Deft saw Meiko's health drop lower and lower and decisively gave up healing to support and speed up. The two of them escaped to the bottom of the tower.
However, while they were fighting at the bottom lane, Lin Yan and Xiao Tian had already entered the Factory Director's jungle. The fresh and delicious blue buff was actually not taken!
Only the wolf spirit that punished the three wolves was guarding the jungle.
Factory Director was actually punishing the three wolves for trying to use the wolf spirit to gain vision in the jungle. But so what if you have vision?
Lin Yan was openly leading Xiao Tian into the jungle. What can you do to me?
Fat General was still two buffs away from clearing the minions at the bottom of the tower and couldn't cross at all. Phyllostachys Pubescens started NTRing the blue buff in front of the Factory Director.
Factory Director pursed his lips. Bard at the bottom lane was already at critical health and Deft only had one skill. YM's bottom lane was in good condition. Ember's W [Fatal Brilliance] was about to be upgraded and could be used to control from a distance.
He couldn't win.
Factory Director was still very decisive when it came to escaping. He directly carried his halberd and ran without even looking at the blue buff.
"Give me the blue, give me the blue, give me the blue." Lin Yan repeated the important thing three times and became a BB machine.
"Isn't it a loss for you to take the blue?" Xiao Tian was a man of his words but still gave the buff to Lin Yan and turned around to eat the Magical Swamp Frog.
Lin Yan happily replied with the blue buff.
Seeing the blue circle under the Starcaster Dragon King, Fat General's originally stiff face became even darker.
How was he going to play?
It wasn't realistic to expect to kill people with the teleportation card in the early game. With the blue buff, the Dragon King was now pushing the line hard. He couldn't do anything to Lin Yan.
The plump general felt as if he had returned to the time when he was still an inexperienced S4 player. Back then, he had to practice his Taichi every day, and just like now, he had to deal with wave after wave of minions swarming towards the tower.
"This blue buff is given to Ran. Fat General's pressure in the middle lane is a bit high," Mille said. "The minions can't be pushed out at all."
Lin Yan didn't try to exhaust Pawn. After pushing out the minions, he and Xiao Tian went to annoy the Factory Director.
After eating an F4 and controlling the second group of three wolves, the economic gap between Xiao Tian and the Factory Director was quickly pulled apart.
"I think it's back to the rhythm of the first two games," the commentator said. "EDG seems to have a hard time finding a way to break out of this situation. The Factory Director is already one level behind Xiao Tian."
Pawn finally realized the crux of the problem. Although EDG's support speed was not slow, the time of support was after the card was level six.
Dragon King, on the other hand, could push the line from level one onwards, bringing endless pressure to the junglers.
Hold on for another two minutes!
Fat General moved a little. His fat body leaned slightly to the left, showing that he was trying hard.
Factory Director was now really struggling to deal with the combination of Lin Yan and Xiao Tian in the middle lane.
He had never seen such a hooligan play style. Previously, MLXG only entered his jungle to fight, but YM's conjoined twins not only wanted to fight, but also eat the monsters. They were like locusts in the jungle. After sweeping through the jungle, the jungle would be clean and nothing would be left.
Lin Yan didn't come to help Xiao Tian for free. He symbolically collected a certain amount of protection fees, and it was reasonable for him to eat some small monsters.
Let's get rich together.
Lin Yan's early invasion strategy brought YM nearly 600 yuan of economic advantage.
He used up all his mana and defeated the second group of F4 from the Factory Director together with Xiao Tian. Then, he returned to the city to replenish his equipment.
With the Red Crystal and Dark Seal on his body, Starcaster Dragon King happily moved towards the middle lane.
Dragon King E [Overflowing Star] passive: Escape speed will be generated when moving in the same direction continuously.
The full value of Level One E gave a 25% movement speed bonus. Together with the movement rune, it gave a 30% movement speed bonus. The effect was comparable to the five-speed shoes.
Lin Yan continued to push the line with W and rushed towards the bottom lane.
"Grab the bottom lane once. Later, when the cards and Ice reach 6, we won't be able to make a move," Lin Yan arranged.
Xiao Tian also returned to the city to replenish his green jungle knife. Two Fake Eyes and an Accessory Eye firmly controlled the Factory Director's jungle.
One of the Fake Eyes saw the Factory Director carrying his halberd from the F4 bushes towards the Gargoyle camp on the top lane. Lin Yan and Xiao Tian decisively pushed towards the bottom lane.
Deft heard Fat General's reminder and hurriedly shot out the Eagle Spirit in his hand. However, he was a step too late. Dragon King had already reached the middle of the river with the help of the acceleration effect.
The push back in front of him was still nibbling away at the enemy's minions. If he didn't eat this wave of minions, Bull's Head and Ember would block this wave of minions, and he would have no choice but to retreat.
However, even if the minions didn't eat, he couldn't die!
Deft gritted his teeth and retreated.
Lin Yan activated the active effect of E [Overflowing Star Flow].
Dragon King rolled in mid-air and stretched his body. His claws were obediently kept by his sides. He passed through the heavy walls of EDG's jungle and shuttled towards the bottom lane's first tower.
Lin Yan successfully reached the back of Deft's first tower and blocked their retreat.
He activated W [Starry Sky Explosion] to scrape the Ice, and then Ember's W [Fatal Splendor] followed.
Deft had no choice but to use Flash to escape.
Lin Yan twisted his body to dodge Bard's Q, and then cast his own Q [Galaxy Rush].
A Star Core appeared beside Dragon King and moved towards the outer Star Orbit around him.
Meiko poured a cup of Cappuccino for Mr. Dai to accelerate, and Ice turned around to release Ten Thousand Arrows to slow down Lin Yan.
Lin Yan, who was slowed down, saw that the blue Star Core was about to escape his control and decisively flashed forward, allowing the Star Core to firmly attach itself to his side.
The unavoidable starlight filled the sky!
Starcaster Dragon King let out a low roar, wanting to detonate the moment the Star Core touched the EDG bottom lane duo.
Meiko finally couldn't care less about their brotherhood and used Flash to sell Mr. Dai.
The explosion of the Star Core stunned Ice on the spot.
The protective planets around the Dragon King rammed into the frail Eich, reducing her HP to a critical level!
Meiko saw that Dragon King didn't chase after her and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, a True Eye suddenly appeared behind the wall of the Magical Swamp Frog camp!
A spider climbed into the sky and used the vision provided by the True Eye to land on Bard!
The eight-legged Spider Queen tore at Bard's fragile body with the small spiders behind her.
Bard wanted to scream for help.
However, he could only make a buzzing sound.
Phyllostachys Pubescens turned back into her seductive human form after finishing a set of attacks in her spider form, and her spider web hit Bard's face.
"YM is the first to gain the kill advantage!" Mille raised his voice. "Deft and Meiko are down!"
"The two key points of EDG's tempo are at a huge disadvantage!
They are at a disadvantage again, and now it's up to Fat General to stand up and lead the team to victory! "
