In the Three Star Team's lounge.
The coach lowered his head helplessly, no longer looking at the big screen in the lounge.
During the BP, he thought that the opponent's jungler's skill was average, and that they were only relying on the support of Xiao Tian to invade Sect Leader An's jungle.
He didn't expect that in the first four minutes, the jungler that he had overlooked had already completed two fatal ganks, one of which was a stunning Flash Judgement Cocoon Spin.
As a retired professional player, he knew how big of a psychological blow this kind of maneuver was to the opponent, and he wasn't sure if Crown could withstand the pressure.
Lin Yan grabbed an assist, pushed the minions in, and went back to the city to buy buff books and True Eye.
Crown couldn't even afford Dark Seal, and only had a pair of straw sandals on him.
Before going online, Lin Yan stuck True Eye in the lonely grass in the river, and then went online. This way, the Three Star Team wouldn't know that he had bought True Eye.
Lin Yan reached level 5, and his online days were much better. He could use skills to exchange for a full set of health, and then retreat.
Crown Bro had lost 60% of his HP, but he still managed to use a combination of Q [Shadow Ball] and E [Retreat of the Weak] to reduce Lin Ran's HP by half with his normal attacks and W skills.
"Wow, what a loss. Crown isn't going to go home?"
Mille said proudly. "With this amount of health, the Little Murloc can kill him alone. Sindra doesn't have Flash anymore."
Crown used up all his health potions, trying to recover his health so that he could continue to stay online and develop.
Lin Yan clicked on his skill panel to calculate the damage.
Sindra was surrounded by a green glow, and her health was slowly increasing.
Lin Yan saw that the cooldown of his Q skill had ended, and he held his trident and went forward to suppress the minions.
Crown used his long arms to quickly accumulate Q [Shadow Ball] under Lin Yan's feet.
Lin Yan turned his head to dodge the skill, and turned around to finish off a low health minion.
"He can't raise this wave of minions to level 6, come help me this time!" Crown began to call for Sect Leader An who was farming F4 in the upper half of his own jungle.
Up until now, Sect Master An hadn't used his most powerful Flash Flying Top Move yet.
Hearing Crown's words, he immediately ate the Razorbeak Bird and burrowed into the ground. He used Earth Listening to confirm that there were no traces of spiders around before rushing to the middle road.
This was the eighth wave of soldiers, and there were no cannon soldiers.
Coupled with the damage reduction effect of [Sly Fighter], Lin Yan didn't have to pay a lot of HP to cross the line of soldiers to suppress them.
He blocked the distance and did not let Brother Crown take any hits. He wanted to make up for the losses he had suffered before.
Lin Yan noticed that Sindra was moving slightly forward and guessed that he wanted to eat the three low-health melee soldiers.
He turned around again, hoping that Sindra would hand the Q over to him. That way, he wouldn't be able to eat the three soldiers.
However, Crown took another step forward and was now within Lin Yan's shooting range.
He didn't hesitate any longer. He drank a health potion, activated W [Sea Stone Trident], and used Q [Naughty Strike] to stab over.
The moment he stabbed over, Sindra's Enfeeble was attached to the Little Murloc.
In this version, Enfeeble lasted for 2.5 seconds, reducing the target's movement speed by 30%, reducing both resistance by 10, and damage by 40%.
With Enfeeble on, Lin Yan's damage output was instantly reduced.
At the same time, an Excavator drilled out from the grass above. Sect Master An had dug out a tunnel, but there was still quite a distance between them and the Murloc. Lin Yan had placed Eyes of Truth in the lower half of the river, so his position was naturally closer to the lower half.
"Help the bottom lane, I'll see if I can kill one." Lin Yan was a little helpless. As he spoke, he attached Ignite to Crown.
He had pressed too hard and forgot to guard against Sect Master An.
Crown threw a Q [Shadow Ball] under Lin Yan's feet, and the Excavator threw a Q [Prey Search] from underground. Lin Yan was forced to take damage in order to use a normal attack.
The Little Murloc's trident stabbed Sindra's waist. A bolt of lightning bloomed in the sky and struck Sindra's body. Thunder Lord's Decree was cast.
Crown realized that even though he had used Enfeeble on Lin Yan, the Little Murloc's damage was still quite high!
He hadn't fully recovered from the health potion he had just drank, so he only had a little over 400 health points. The Level 5 Little Murloc's Ignite alone dealt 150 true damage!
Crown saw that he had less than 200 health points left, and hurriedly used E [Weakling Disperse]!
The Shadow Ball on the ground was pushed outwards in an attempt to stun the Little Murloc in front of him.
"Ran actually jumped into the air and dodged Sindra's key [Weakling Disperse]. His reaction is too fast!" Mille looked at the Little Murloc's movements on the screen, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Crown saw the Little Murloc's movements in the arena and was shocked.
He knew that Sindra's E [Weakling Disperse] had raised its hand, but he didn't expect the opposing mid laner to be able to react in time.
The distance between him and the Little Murloc was quite close. The only time left for the opponent to react was the fleeting movement of its hand!
Are you still human?
"Come closer to me!"
Sect Master An saw that the Little Murloc had dodged Crown's crowd-control skill and hurriedly ordered his teammates to come closer to him.
Crown didn't need him to say anything, as he had already clicked his mouse over. He looked at the Enfeeble effect on the Little Murloc. Based on the damage calculation of a professional player, this E [Mischievous Spirit] wouldn't be able to kill it.
The Little Murloc, who was holding the trident, let go of its weapon in the air and slammed down heavily with the huge wave!
Crown looked at the Little Murloc's figure and his pupils shrank.
Before the Little Murloc's unselectable time ended, the Enfeeble effect on him disappeared!
The Level 5 Little Murloc had a Level 3 E skill, and the damage on the interface alone was 170 + 0.75 AP. Without the Enfeeble effect, Lin Yan dealt the full damage!
Sindra's Ignite damage jumped out again, and together with the Little Murloc's E skill, she was directly sent back to the fountain!
The moment Lin Yan landed on the ground, the dazzling light of leveling up appeared on his body. After killing Sindra, he had successfully leveled up to Level 6!
At the same time, his body suddenly flashed to the left!
The speed reduction effect and damage were still on the Excavator, but the Little Murloc immediately moved to the side.
He wanted to use Flash to dodge the Excavator's attack, so that he would only be stunned for a short period of time after being pushed up.
However, Sect Leader An was very experienced. He guessed that Lin Yan might do this, so he deliberately did not use W Break Out of the Ground immediately.
After seeing Lin Yan use Flash, he revealed his fangs!
As he flashed to catch up, he realized that a shark had appeared under his feet. It was the Little Murloc's ultimate skill, Giant Shark Assault!
Sect Leader An could not wait any longer. He pushed up the Little Murloc, activated Q [Queen's Wrath], and kept scratching Lin Yan with his claws!
Following the countdown of the shark under his feet, Sect Leader An was very anxious.
After the Little Murloc leveled up, his HP increased by a small bar, while the Excavator only had a Green Hunting Knife. The damage bonus was all due to Sect Leader An's own talent and runes!
The Little Murloc's passive skill finally came into effect. Together with the Health Potion that he drank in the previous fight, a small amount of damage reduction effect allowed him to maintain more than 100 HP!
Sect Leader An glanced at his Rage Bar and knew that he could not use the Red Rage E [Wild Bite]. He could only use the E skill that did not have Red Rage's true damage bonus before the shark came out of the ground.
The Void Beast Queen opened her fangs and bit down on the Little Murloc!
It was still missing a sliver of HP!
The shark quickly came out of the ground and bit down on the Excavator's soft abdomen, sending it flying into the air!
Lin Yan waved the trident in his hand and stepped on the ground with his flippers. He leisurely returned to his father's arms in the defense tower.
"15 HP!
They let the Little Murloc escape just like that? "
Mille's voice rose. "Instead, they sacrificed Crown's life. Samsung suffered a huge loss this time!"
"Not only that, Xiao Tian went to the bottom lane and killed Ember again. Up until now, Samsung's duo has not shown the strength that Karma and Ember should have had!" Doll shouted excitedly.
After the Little Murloc escaped with a sliver of HP, the stadium was in an uproar. Whether it was the LPL audience or the western audience who wanted to watch a good show, they all roared!
The Chicago theater had become YM's home ground!
"Isn't Samsung's early game too weak?
Did they lose the game? "
"Tell me, why did you provoke him?"
Gate Master An watched the Little Murloc escape with a sliver of HP and clicked his tongue impatiently.
Crown stared at the black and white screen in a daze, his eyes dull.
He did not know why so many things had happened when he caught the Little Murloc. If his Weakling Scatter had hit him, if Enfeeble had lasted for half a second, if the Little Murloc had not reached level 6 …
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
He was crestfallen.
"Brother Ran's escape was really ruthless." Jack witnessed Lin Yan's escape and could not help but admire him. "Was this all part of your plan?"
"If I could calculate so many things in such a short time, I wouldn't be playing any classes." Lin Yan returned to the city and laughed as he bought equipment.
Lin Yan was not being humble. It was really a coincidence that Samsung had cooperated with him to complete this escape.
In this version, Enfeeble lasted for 2.5 seconds, and if the Little Murloc's E [Strange Spirit] was not pressed consecutively, it would be suspended in the air for 1.5 seconds. Lin Yan had perfectly used this skill to get through his weakest period.
He had only calculated this point. Sindra's E [Weakling Scatter] was completely dodged. Lin Yan's hand speed was not bad, but no matter how fast his hand was, it still needed to go through his brain to react.
In that kind of complicated situation, other than opening the script and making predictions in advance, it was basically impossible for people to react.
As for the escape, it was completely basic. If Gate Master An did not have any offensive equipment, Lin Yan would have died.
However, the chain reaction caused by this wave of calculation and coincidence was too big.
Sindra's suppression on the bottom lane had been reduced by half at 6 minutes. Gate Master An had also handed over the crucial Blink in the early game of Excavator. At the same time, the bottom lane had also died once, dropping a Fire Dragon.
For a moment, Samsung felt that it was difficult to make ends meet.
At this time, Cuvee was still developing in the top lane. He did not expect that bad news would come from all directions.
In all fairness, although he did not have much of an advantage over Jin Gong in these three rounds, he was not at a disadvantage either.
He had lost two rounds in a row and was about to enter the third round. No one would be able to take it.
"You guys play safe. Wait for me to carry alone."
After Cuvee finished speaking, he looked at the lineup of both sides and knew that it was the same as the first round. The chances of him successfully carrying alone were very slim.
Crown replied in a low voice.
Until now, he only had one Devil's Grimoire, and Lin Yan's Little Murloc had Technology Gun and Dark Seal.
As soon as he came online, the Murloc began to cross the army line to suppress him.
Crown saw that he had not reached 6 yet, and Shuang Zhao had not recovered yet, so he could only swallow his anger and hide at the back.
Lin Yan easily followed up with a wave of slow pushing into the tower. Then, he wanted to cross the tower to lower Sindra's health.
At this time, Gate Master An poked his head out from the side, purposely letting Lin Yan see.
At this time, Sindra had risen to level 6 after eating the Artillery Soldier, so Lin Yan could only give up on this idea.
After falling into a big disadvantage, Samsung began to play the turtle shell style they were most familiar with. They did not leave the river and just stood under the tower.
This way, although they missed a lot of troops, at least there were no more deaths. The situation seemed to be stabilized.
"In 8 minutes, YM has taken the economic lead over 3K. Most of the difference is in the number of kills and last hits."
After a period of silence, Mille also calmed down. "We have to find the next breakthrough point and continue to gain the advantage."
"During this time, Xiao Tian wanted to take the opportunity to invade, but Gate Master An's farming route is also very sneaky. In two minutes, he only let Xiao Tian kill a group of monsters. It can be said that it is quite successful." Doll nodded.
Lin Yan also knew that the situation could not be stagnant like this. Once it was dragged into a team fight, their team without a frontline would have too many variables.
Now that his ultimates were ready, he wanted to push away the creeps and roam the flanks.
However, Crown easily saw through his thoughts. After Sindra's skill level increased, her speed at clearing the creeps was not slow.
He simply pushed the creeps against Lin Yan.
Sindra's graceful figure had been hiding at a position some distance away from her creeps. She did not move forward easily. Clearly, she was guarding against the Murloc's simplest starting combo — Q Soldiers and R Soldiers.
Lin Yan was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about Sindra. He simply killed three ranged troops and rushed to the bottom lane.
Crown hurriedly reminded his teammates, but Ruler's health was not very healthy after being blasted by Fire Man twice. The creeps were still in the center, and there was no way he could leave in time.
Crown had no choice but to push away the creeps and planned to go to the bottom lane from his own jungle.
He followed the back of the tower to the Three Wolves' camp. As soon as he arrived at the blue buff area and inserted an accessory into the grass, a magic fish passed through the thick wall and appeared at his feet. There was no time to react at all!
Where did it come from?
Crown had just thought of this in his mind when the Murloc rushed over with the Sea Stone Trident. There was no teammate around to help him.
Crown was filled with despair.
Lin Yan did not approach Sindra immediately. Instead, he followed the shark as it was about to break out of the ground. This was mainly to prevent Sindra's QE from stunning him.
The shark completely enveloped Sindra's thin body and sent it flying into the air. Lin Yan used the Trident to jump over. WQA.
The R [Mega Shark Assault] increased the Murloc's damage to the target by 20%. Therefore, it was just a simple set of skills, and Sindra's health was already very low.
After landing, Crown did not have time to use his skills. Another normal attack with the effect of the Sea Stone Trident came down on him, and the continuous damage took away his last bit of health.
"Another solo kill in the jungle!" Mille roared. "8: 03. How can this Sindra be played?"
"I think Crown's mentality is going to collapse if he continues playing like this!"
Doll mocked. "He can't go anywhere now. He can't even enter his own jungle. If the Murloc squats him, he'll die!"
"The mid lane has been destroyed. Sindra, the strongest player in the game, is being beaten like this. Crown is the only one who can do this."
Crown grabbed his hair with both hands in frustration.
He knew that he had been tricked by the opposing mid laner.
The Murloc's ultimate skill was under the cover of the thick wall. It was a blind spot, and there was no way to see the shark's movement. In the blink of an eye, the shark was right under his feet.
Crown finally reacted, but he could only watch the Murloc and the Spider battle the bottom lane through the black and white screen.
Master An had already rushed over from the back of the creeps to protect them, but it was useless. Xiao Tian's Cocoon and JKL's Magical Crystal Arrow, no matter who it hit, it would be a dead end.
In the end, the three-star bottom lane sold out Master An, who had rushed over to help them, and retreated to the second tower.
The four members of YM pushed down the first blood tower in the bottom lane, and their economy increased to almost 5K.
It was the familiar rhythm of switching lanes and pushing towers.
Cuvee saw his own bottom lane's tower being pushed down. Countless curses spun around his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
The bottom lane's tower had been destroyed. This was definitely not good news for the top laner who was at a disadvantage. He changed lanes to the bottom lane. Without the protection of the tower, the top laner did not dare to bring too deep into the jungle. Once he was caught, he would be sending himself to his death.
"In the three rounds of the quarterfinals, the three-star team has lost the bottom lane's first blood tower!" Mille said. "Their early game rhythm was completely dragged by YM!"
Three minutes later, Lin Yan and Xiao Tian rushed to the top lane again. This time, the three-star team's vision was very deep, and they knew YM's movements in advance.
Cuvee hurriedly teleported to help his teammates, while Crown and Master An also rushed to the top lane.
But they were still one step too late. YM's lineup without a front row was useless, but it was instilled into the first place.
The three-star bottom lane was instantly killed.
Even though the other three rushed to the battlefield and used a bunch of summoner skills to chase JKL and Xiao Ming to death, Jin Gong had already brought the creeps to the bottom lane of the three-star's second tower. Jess's Hex weapon kept shooting shells at the fragile defense tower.
"The three-star team is panicking."
Mille watched the three-star team trying to catch Lin Yan by force, but he used Rocket Belt, Q's [Mischievous Strike], and E skills to escape nimbly. He couldn't help but say.
"They can't find any opportunities to take the initiative to attack. If they continue to drag it out, the outcome will be the same as the previous game."
