Jin Gong's Ike returned to the city to get Ice Fist and Quicksilver Shoes, and his equipment instantly caught up.
Everyone in the Tigers didn't look worried.
Little Peanut had put in a lot of effort to raise Smeb, but now that Ike had a full set of armor and equipment, he could trade HP with Jess.
This meant that their only advantage in this game was gone.
Rat King and Gerella in the bottom lane were lagging behind in terms of development, and they hadn't gotten a single kill yet. Rat King had only managed to cast Infinity Blade after 15 minutes, while the opposing team was about to cast a yellow cross on Ice.
There was a huge gap between the Tigers and YM in terms of head-on DPS.
"Let's switch lanes and develop for a while. Let's drag down the ADC's equipment," Little Peanut said helplessly.
At that moment, YM started to repeat their familiar strategy of switching lanes and pushing towers. Xiao Tian had been moving closer to the duo with the advantage in equipment, setting his vision deep in the Tigers' jungle.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, was still pushing in the middle lane to reduce Dragon King's movement space.
He was now better at blinking, and Little Peanut didn't have any big moves to dodge, so the threat he posed to him was limited. But just in case, Lin Yan still set up blue accessories in his own F4 camp to prevent Little Peanut from suddenly ganking.
After that, the two sides were in a stalemate, and it seemed that neither side had found a better opportunity. The pace instantly slowed down, and they began to switch lanes and set up their vision.
"If they continue to maintain this economic advantage, YM's chances of winning won't be low," Doll said clearly and logically. "Dragon King and Blind Monk are relatively weak in team fights. YM still has Ike, a tank who's very good at disrupting team fights, and Clockwork, who's well-developed."
"Isn't Clockwork's last hit count a little too ridiculous?" Mille glanced at the equipment panels of both sides. "220 last hits in 19 minutes?"
"He ate a lot of Xiao Tian's monsters, probably three or four groups of F4 and Three Wolves. Plus, he ate all the minions in the middle lane by himself, so it's normal for him to have this last hit count," Remember said.
"The Clockwork Rewind Hat Spell is going to wear shoes. This equipment is going to deal a lot of damage to the Tiger Team's frontliners." Doll was a little excited.
"Are they going to fight for this Dragon that respawns every 20 minutes …" Mille saw that JKL and Xiao Ming had destroyed the top lane defense tower. They did not gather at the bottom of the crater. Instead, they began to control the view of the dragon zone.
Since the duo of Tiger Team had been suppressed when they switched lanes to the top lane, there were no ROX eyes near the Dragon's pit. YM successfully controlled the vision of the entire top half of the map.
"Are you going to let the Tigers make the decision?
It looks like YM is trying to force a team battle with the Dragon that is about to be born! "Remember to raise your voice.
The Tiger Team reacted quickly. Blind Monk, Jayce, and the Policewoman rushed to the upper half, leaving the other two to eat the fire dragon.
"Fire a shot to check our field of vision!" Little Peanut looked at the darkness in the grass above the middle road and didn't dare move forward at all.
Without needing him to say anything, SMEB had already smashed in.
He didn't hit any creatures.
There didn't seem to be anyone.
The blind monk inserted the eye slot in his backpack, and sure enough, the bushes were empty. There were only a few mosquitoes making annoying buzzing noises.
The Rat King followed behind them cautiously. At that moment, his blue accessory could finally illuminate the Dragon's pit.
Vision Modification dispelled the fog of war in the Dragon's pit.
The newly born Dragon was full of health, and when it realized that it had been illuminated, it growled impatiently.
At that moment, Ueno, who was leading the charge, was about to reach the narrow grass patch in the middle of the river. Little Peanut inserted the eye slot as usual.
There was still no one inside.
They were about to retreat, when a black kid suddenly came down from the darkness above the wall!
It was Ike again!
The clockwork puppet above his head told the Tigers that Ike definitely wasn't the only one around!
E Phase Dive moved down and aimed his weapon at Blind Monk. The puppet above his head started to twist and spin again, condensing spatial power!
Little Peanut immediately wanted to kick Ike away, but he was a step too late.
Ike moved close to Blind Monk's face again, and by the time he hit him heavily with his weapon, Clockwork's big move had already been pulled out!
Spatial power sent Blind Monk flying again!
The YM players on the side started to surround and kill, their spearhead aimed straight at the jungler, Little Peanut!
Little Peanut recovered from being sent flying and wanted to use Flash and Touch Eye to escape, but JKL's Magic Crystal Arrow was like a maggot that caught up to Blind Monk and stunned him on the spot!
Policewoman and Jayz saw the Blind Monk's HP plummet and knew that they couldn't save him, so they could only flee in panic.
After the jungler Blind Monk died, the YM players decisively opened fire!
"With Little Peanut dead and the Dragon's blind, the Tigers won't be able to fight for this Dragon!"
Mille clenched his fists and shouted, "Once this Dragon is controlled, YM will control the situation!"
"YM's strategy of pushing up the tower and then switching control to the Dragon is too brilliant!"
Remember exclaimed repeatedly. "The Tigers can only control the fire Dragon and send it back to the city to deal with YM's next attack with the dragon's buff!"
"Xiao Tian has steadily killed the Dragon with Retribution. The economic gap is now 7k. YM has a huge advantage!"
After the YM players quickly returned to the city to resupply their equipment, they began to push the snowball.
Lin Yan had just eaten Little Peanut's head, plus the 300 gold coins provided by the Dragon, and had returned to the city to buy an Explosive Magic Wand. He wasn't weaker than any of the Tigers in a one-on-one fight now, so he might as well split up.
"YM is really greedy. They want to split up 131 into three and take out all the Tigers' outer towers!"
Mille laughed. "Let's see what the Tigers choose. If they give up these outer towers, the economic gap will widen to 10k."
The Tigers had been guarding the middle lane for a minute and a half, watching helplessly as the first and second towers in their middle lane were taken down. If they continued to defend passively, the base Crystal would be gone sooner or later.
"Come and get Clockwork. Kill him and we'll start another wave from the front!" Little Peanut looked at Clockwork, who was pushing down the second tower on the top lane, ready to attack.
Clockwork was indeed easier to kill than Ike, who had a full body of meat and W and R equipment.
Jess and Ella joined the army to encircle and suppress Clockwork, while Policewoman and Dragon King were responsible for guarding the line.
They sneaked all the way from the top of the high ground. After leaving the defense tower, they split into two groups. Jesse rushed to the top of the second tower, while the blind monk and Ella went from the wild gargoyle camp to the grass behind the second tower.
When Lin Yan saw Jess, he went forward and tried to exhaust him with his skills.
"Ran is going to be hit hard this time. It looks like he's completely unaware that Blind Monk and Ella are in the bushes behind him!" Mille said regretfully.
Seeing that Lin Yan's Clockwork was still there, the three Tigers quickly formed an encirclement to kill Lin Yan's Clockwork on the spot!
"You guys push the bottom lane, I can run!"
The moment Lin Yan saw Ella and Blind Monk appear behind him, he gave the order for his teammates to rush to the second tower on the bottom lane, which was furthest from the top lane.
As long as he could stall the Tigers for some time, the Tigers would definitely lose the high ground in the bottom lane!
He activated Sprint and retreated, but Smeb and Jess fired a shot accurately. Lin Yan didn't try to dodge. He put on a shield for himself and took the damage from the Enhanced Cannon, losing a chunk of his health.
Blind Monk, Little Peanut, wanted to kick Clockwork to the wall. His movements were fluid and smooth, and Blind Monk was very fast.
But Lin Yan's reaction was faster. The moment Little Peanut's Eye got close, he flashed to the back to pull away!
At that moment, Little Peanut's quick movements became a shackle. Having handed over Flash in the Dragon's Pit before, he could only watch helplessly as he sent Clockwork flying with a Dragon Tail Whip!
Fortunately, his Heavenly Sound Wave still accurately hit Clockwork as it was sent flying.
Ella reacted quickly. Seeing that Little Peanut had failed, she hurriedly flashed forward and pressed the EWR and EWR buttons, trying to bind Lin Yan in place and then send him flying!
But after Lin Yan handed over Flash and was kicked by Little Peanut, he had already put some distance between him and Ella.
Lin Yan watched as Ella's E, Winding Root, attacked him.
In the time it took for the vines to crawl, Lin Yan had already recovered from being sent flying. He maneuvered the petite Clockwork Devil to twist around and successfully dodge Ella's Vine Bind!
Ella's big move, Strangling Vine, took two full seconds to prepare, and Clockwork, who had Sprint, could use its movement speed to escape!
SMEB handed over Flash, switched to the hammer form, and hammered down with Sky's Leap. At the same time, Little Peanut also triggered a second Q, Echo Strike, which went straight for Clockwork's fragile body!
Seeing the movements of the Tigers' junglers, Lin Yan unhurriedly placed the magic puppet in front of him. The magic puppet hit Ella, and Ella's HP dropped by more than half in an instant.
Lin Yan seized the opportunity and decisively activated his R, Shock Wave!
Jess and Blind Monk successfully hit Clockwork's face, and Clockwork's HP dropped to 25. SMEB smashed Clockwork with a heavy hammer, Little Peanut also used his E, Heavenly Thunder Break Tendons and Bones, to keep Clockwork, and Ella's Q, Fatal Bloom, also attacked!
The three damage instantly reduced Clockwork's HP to critical levels.
At that moment, the power of space distortion was generated again, and the magic puppet that Clockwork had just thrown happened to be behind Blind Monk and Jess, and in front of Ella!
The three of them couldn't Flash, and couldn't escape this power!
The Tigers' junglers were pulled back from Clockwork by the power of space, while Ella was pulled forward, and all three of them were pulled to the magic puppet's side!
At the twenty-second minute, the damage from the Ghost Book Hat Spell, Wear Shoes and Exploding Magic Staff was extremely terrifying, and the three of them instantly lost HP!
At the same time, Thunder Lord's Decree was also triggered, and a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky, striking Ella and killing Ella on the spot!
At that moment, the vines of Ella's big move pierced out of the ground, and Lin Yan just happened to walk out of the range of the vines, so he wasn't affected by Ella's big move at all!
"What kind of damage is this!"
Mille exclaimed when he saw this scene, but this wave didn't work very well with his throat, and he actually made a cracking sound. "Ella was killed instantly?"
"Clockwork is still running!"
Doll shouted at the top of his lungs. His face and neck were red. "More importantly, no one can stop him now!"
Lin Ran controlled the Clockwork Spring to create a gust of wind under his feet. Sprinting gave him a high movement speed, and he quickly retreated from the battlefield without looking back. Before he left, he even dodged another Heavenly Sound Wave from the blind monk!
Before he left, Lin Yan flashed YM's black and red team logo, which was so dazzling in the eyes of Little Peanut and Smeb!
"150 HP!
Clockwork ran away again! "Remember couldn't help but shout." This is Ran's second escape in the semifinals!
He's too good at running. Did he really learn from Hot Man? "
The audience was astonished!
They had thought that Clockwork was dead for sure, but they hadn't expected him to successfully escape from the three-man encirclement, and even kill the support before he left!
After a brief moment of surprise, the audience shouted YM's and Ran's names in unison!
The whole stadium instantly boiled over!
The cheers were endless, and almost broke through the roof of the stadium and into the sky!
"F * ck, is this Clockwork possessed by Usain Bolt?"
"Isn't Clockwork's control too disgusting?
Three against one, but he killed one, and he's even attacking the heart? "
"Good job, Clockwork. YM, kill them!
Beat another Korean team, and I won't hate YM for a year! "
The bullet screen in the Chinese live broadcast room was flooded with comments.
At that moment, the other four YM players had successfully pushed onto the Tigers' bottom lane. Jin Gong saw that the opponent only had two players defending, so he decisively flashed to EQA and knocked out an Ice Fist to slow them down.
The remaining three swarmed over the tower and instakilled Policewoman and Dragon King!
Blind Monk and Jess, the only remaining members of the Tigers, didn't flash. They couldn't stop YM's advance at all!
"In less than 24 minutes, YM has successfully flattened ROX's Crystal Base!"
Mille roared excitedly. "They've taken down a city first. The LPL team is only two small victories away from the S-League finals after two years!"
"LCK's first seed is only so-so!" Doll was even more excited. "They can only last 24 minutes against YM!"
"Ran's two extreme escapes were too crucial!
One helped the team establish an early advantage, and the other helped the team directly end the game! "
