When the minions reached the center, Lin Yan stepped forward and activated W [Star Dome Explosion] to rub against the minions. Ryze couldn't stop them at all in the early stage.
Lin Yan easily pushed the minions into the center tower. Then, instead of going to the enemy's F4 camp, he chose to set up an eye in the blue buff camp.
After all, Spider rarely farmed F4 in the early stages. What she needed to do was quickly clear the jungle and level up before invading or capturing people.
After setting up an eye, Lin Yan returned to the middle lane, intending to continue pushing while keeping an eye on the movements in the blue buff area.
But Little Peanut didn't appear in the blue buff camp until two minutes and fifty seconds before the eye disappeared. Under normal circumstances, Spider's farming path shouldn't be like this.
"Be careful. He didn't hit any blue buffs, so he might try to capture people directly," Lin Yan reminded his teammates.
But at that moment, Little Peanut's Spider had already appeared in the triangular grass at the bottom lane!
"Little Peanut perfectly bypassed YM's vision. JKL and Xiao Ming don't know anything!"
Doll couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw Little Peanut's movements.
Jack and Xiao Ming were still pushing, completely caught in the Tiger team's scheme. The rat king had deliberately let the minions pass so that Little Peanut could successfully capture them.
Cocoon Flash!
The surprise attack from the shadows caught JKL off guard and he was trapped in place. Gray stepped forward and used W [Unbreakable] to tie Ember with a dog chain.
It was a no-brainer!
Jack was dead, and Xiao Ming was left with Flash to escape.
After taking the first blood, the Tigers were in high spirits. Little Peanut shook his head with a smile, looking quite excited.
At that moment, the broadcast replayed the scene.
Little Peanut was farming three Demon Wolf Swamp Frogs in red. When he was about to pass the blue buff intersection, he specially turned into his human form and sneaked in through the gap in Lin Yan's vision. YM didn't notice him!
"Little Peanut obviously realized that Ran had set up an eye in the blue zone. YM was too careless and took it for granted that the bottom lane was pressuring him," Mille said.
"At present, Ran still has the right to push in the middle lane. Let's see how he can cooperate with Xiao Tian."
Lin Yan ate two waves of minions in the middle lane before he entered Little Peanut's jungle. When he saw Little Peanut's last hit on the bottom lane, he knew that he hadn't farmed this F4.
He drank a decaying potion and used Q's star core to smash the Beaked Bird in the middle, pushing the surrounding stars out of orbit.
He kept increasing the distance between them so that the Astral Body could hit as many monsters as possible.
Kuro was still clearing the minions under the tower. Before Ryze made Goddess' Tear, his ability to clear the minions was very average. He could only watch as Lin Yan pushed the minions away.
In order to prevent Lin Yan from roaming the top lane, he planted accessory eyes in the F4 camp through the wall to detect Lin Yan's location.
Seeing that Lin Yan was eating F4, Kuro was relieved.
As long as you don't swim away, you can do anything.
"I want to crouch at Three Wolves for a bit. Can you guys watch me?" Xiao Tian rushed into the ROX jungle with two axes.
Three Wolves was the deepest jungle in the enemy's jungle. In order to cover for Xiao Tian, YM started to press the bottom lane. As long as the minions entered the enemy's tower, Gera wouldn't be able to easily go to the jungle to support him.
Xiao Tian planted an eye at Three Wolves and then crouched in the grass behind the wall.
Since Lin Yan had just eaten F4, Little Peanut would recover his blue buff after taking the first hit and return to the city to replenish his equipment. The farming route would definitely be Gargoyle, Three Wolves, and Demon Swamp Frog. This was the perfect way to reset the respawn time of the monsters.
Everything was within Xiao Tian's calculations.
Sure enough, ten seconds later, the Level 4 Spider Queen Elise entered Three Wolves' camp. She activated her QW and then turned into a spider to bite the big wolf.
"Xiao Tian is running. Let's see if he can get a solo kill in the jungle!" Mille really wanted to see YM make up for their small disadvantage in the early game.
Xiao Tian attacked the moment he saw Little Peanut turn into a spider.
Xiao Tian's axe successfully hit the defenseless Spider Queen and also killed a small wolf and a small spider with low HP. Then, with the help of his acceleration, Xiao Tian successfully bypassed the wall and reached Little Peanut's side!
Little Peanut had no skills. He could only take a bite of Olaf and then fly into the air to stall for time.
"They're rushing over from the bottom lane!" Jack shouted.
"It's fine. You guys come together. Their mid laner can't come over for the time being!" Lin Yan took advantage of the time to push the cannon troops into Kuro's defense tower.
Then, he controlled Dragon King to head into the jungle to support his teammates.
Kuro looked at the wave of cannon troops under the tower and heard Little Peanut's urgent cry for help. He gritted his teeth and abandoned this wave of troops to run toward the jungle.
But he was still a step too late.
Lin Yan's Dragon King activated Sprint + E Overflowing Star and was the first to reach the battlefield through the wall. He even had a Rasengan in front of him!
Little Peanut finally landed on the ground. He was just about to transform back into human form and trap Olaf with a spiderweb, when Lin Ran leapt over the Three Wolves' wall and charged over. The core of Q's [Galaxy Rush] crashed into the Spider Queen, who hadn't blinked.
Xiao Tian raised his blade and cut the stunned Little Peanut to low HP. Lin Yan's final Outer Orbit Star took Little Peanut's head!
At that moment, all three members of Team Tiger had rushed over. JKL and Xiao Ming hadn't entered the ROX jungle yet!
"Kill Olaf. He didn't flash!" Little Peanut began to command his teammates in a black screen.
Ryze rushed over with Sprint. Q [Overload] attacked first, but Lin Yan twisted his body and dodged it.
Kuro didn't care about Dragon King, who didn't have any crowd control skills. He used E [Spell Surge] + W [Rune Imprisonment] to imprison Olaf in place. Then, he used Q [Overload] to create a shield and speed up.
This version of Ryze was quite disgusting. EW's combo could stabilize the enemy hero for two seconds.
Xiao Tian hurriedly killed Big Wolf with Discipline and recovered some HP.
Karma caught up and chained Xiao Tian with W [Unbreakable]. Rat King activated W [Ten Thousand Arrows] and then shot an Ice Arrow at Olaf with a normal attack.
"Xiao Tian is being focused on, but he's been in good shape. He should be able to hold on for a while longer!"
Mille spoke faster. "Also, Dragon King is using W [Starburst] to continuously chip away at Team Tiger's HP!"
Lin Yan had killed Little Peanut before, so he had a fresh blue buff on him. He had more than enough blue!
He controlled Dragon King to hit as many enemy heroes as possible with the outer orbit's protective planets.
Without crowd control skills, Dragon King's early AoE damage was very exaggerated. Every Astral Body could deal a lot of damage to the opponent!
Xiao Tian threw an axe to slow down Karma and Ice. At that moment, Gerella's chain took effect and once again tied Olaf in place.
Ice, Karma, and Ryze hadn't gone home to replenish their equipment, so their damage wasn't very high. Olaf was actually still alive.
JKL used W [Fatal Splendor] from a distance to successfully imprison Ice!
Lin Yan's normal attack and Astral Body mercilessly harvested Rat King's HP.
Xiao Tian finally fell to the ground!
However, the three Tiger players had already lost more than half of their HP. Rat King's HP was even lower, less than 14%!
"Sell, sell, sell!"
The Rat King knew that it had underestimated the Dragon King's damage output. This Dragon King, who had a blue buff and the planets around him constantly rotating, was comparable to a magic machine gun!
The key was that Ryze, one of their damage output points, had too little blue.
Kuro had used up a lot of blue to clear the minions a few minutes ago. Although he had brought a blue Crystal with him, it still couldn't solve the problem. Ryze's QEWQ set had 170 blue points. How could it withstand such a consumption?
Rat King deliberately walked to the side after healing, distancing himself from his teammates. He planned to sacrifice himself so that Ryze and Karma could safely retreat.
Because Lin Yan had stood in the middle of the three wolves to split the formation, Gerella couldn't go around Lin Yan to meet up with Ryze. The three of them could only retreat in three directions. Karma ran back to the high ground, Rat King ran to the lower second tower, and Kuro rushed back to the middle lane.
At this time, Lin Yan only had two seconds left on his sprint. With the help of Wind Rider, his movement speed was very fast. He attacked Ice one last time and then chased after Ryze.
Jack flashed over the wall and hit Rat King with a [Dancing Hand Grenade]. Pray saw that Lin Yan didn't chase after him and wanted to use [Flash] to escape.
However, Ember's last bullet hit Ice and triggered the acceleration effect. He continued to move forward and tanked the damage from the defense tower. Then, he reloaded and killed Ice.
On the other side, Lin Yan was still chasing after Ryze. He attacked Kuro with his normal attacks and continued to reduce his HP.
Kuro didn't look back and continued to run forward. Lin Yan spat out a [Galaxy Rush] one second before the acceleration effect ended.
The Star Core provided Lin Yan with a 10% movement speed increase again. Kuro looked at the Star Core in front of him and had no choice but to use [Flash] to escape.
However, Lin Ran's normal attack connected with Astral Damage took Ryze's HP down to a critical level.
Then, he swaggered to the middle of the first and second towers in the middle lane, blocking Ryze's minions.
"Ran, this Dragon King is so cheap. Ryze didn't teleport and was forced to return to the city in front of the second tower. He'll lose two more waves of minions when he comes back!"
"This is a minions line with artillery. Ryze's heart is bleeding!" Doll was very excited. "Is Ryze going to collapse?
He didn't get any kills and even lost two waves of minions. Who can withstand this? "
Mille saw a mass of minions gathered at the bottom lane on the minimap. "Rat King at the bottom lane is also at a loss. A wave of minions also entered the tower!"
"My fault. Sorry." Little Peanut couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he saw that his teammates had been defeated by this wave of tempo.
"It's my fault. It would have been better if I had helped you take a look at the jungle first." Rat King was also a little annoyed.
"Don't look at the 1: 2 kill ratio now. Their economy is 1,500 yuan apart. YM has completely suppressed the top, middle, and bottom lanes!"
Lin Yan received one kill and one assist. He returned to the city and directly reloaded his Hex revolver and Ring of Killers.
When he returned to the middle lane again, Ryze only had one Lunch Box and his magic power was quite low.
Lin Yan continued to push and then went to the F4 camp to set up another lookout to prevent Little Peanut from gank.
After almost six minutes, Little Peanut regrouped and found another opportunity to go to the top lane and overtake the tower to catch Jin Gong.
The Tigers had analyzed YM before the game and knew that Xiao Tian usually didn't like to catch the top lane, even more so in the finals. Most of the time, Jin Gong was left alone at that spot.
At that moment, Little Peanut wanted to quickly make up for his lack of development, so he naturally had to attack YM's weakest spot.
Jin Gong wanted to use some fancy dodging skills, but SMEB didn't give him a chance at all. Bobby flashed and slammed him into the tower.
Little Peanut continued to control him, and the two of them worked together to send Jin Gong back to the spring.
"Little Peanut is very strong. He's very good at seizing opportunities. Every time he makes a move, he gains something," Remember commented. "He's worthy of being one of the brightest rising stars in the jungle this year."
When Lin Yan saw Little Peanut appear in the top lane, he quickly pushed and rushed to the bottom lane.
Kuro really had to clear the minions at the bottom of the tower this time, and didn't have time to rush over. Lin Yan's downward movement was discovered by Rat King's E, Eagle Soars the Sky. SMEB changed its mind about teleporting back to the top lane to eat, and TP came to the bottom lane to protect its teammates.
Seeing that there was no chance, Lin Yan ran back to the top lane again.
But this wave of roaming caused SMEB to teleport out, and bought Jin Gong some time to develop on the top lane.
With Hex's revolver and Ring of Killers, the Dragon King's speed at pushing was far beyond Lunchbox Ricky's reach, and Lin Yan kept moving to the bottom lane to put pressure on him.
As a result, Rat King was forced to give up on some of the minions – as soon as the Dragon King disappeared in the middle lane, he and Grilla had to tremble under the tower, not daring to go out at all.
Xiao Tian also took advantage of the time when Little Peanut was on the top lane to eat the wind dragon. Around nine minutes later, he entered the jungle to negate Ricky's vital blue buff, and gave it to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan ate the blue buff and returned to the city again, where he combined Hex's revolver into GLP-800 (Ice Gun).
Ricky had just finished clearing the minions and was about to return to the city, when he looked up and saw the Dragon King rush to the top lane with E, Overflowing Starflow, and activate W, Stardome Explosion, to push again.
Aren't you cheap?
Why are you running so fast? Are you trying to snatch food from the cafeteria?
But Kuro had no choice. Without the blue buff, he didn't have much blue, but he still had to push the line. He was more than two hundred gold coins away from buying the Time Staff. If he didn't buy the Time Staff when he returned to the city, it would be too slow.
Lin Yan glanced at the chat box and found that Ricky's Flash was still half a minute away.
He cleared the minions and moved forward, using W's outer orbit to scratch Ricky.
Kuro thought that Lin Yan was going to jump the tower, so he hurried forward to EW control Lin Yan.
After the exchange of two skills, his blue bar was completely empty, and he could only use normal attacks to whittle down Lin Yan's HP.
After two seconds of imprisonment, the defense tower and Ricky's damage reduced Lin Yan's HP by half.
Lin Yan activated Sprint, withdrew from the defense tower, and then turned back again.
For a moment, Kuro didn't understand what Lin Yan wanted to do.
Then, Lin Yan suddenly launched Q [Galaxy Rush], opened his mouth wide, and spat out R [Starstring Fall]!
The bright sparks hit Ricky. As Kuro was outside the Dragon King's outer orbit, Dragon King's ultimate skill didn't have a knockback effect, but the damage was dealt.
Another fan-shaped Ice Spear shot out from Dragon King's beard, slowing Ricky down and dealing damage. Kuro received a lot of damage, but he recovered a little bit of blue with the help of Lunchbox's passive.
He activated Sprint, turned back, and wanted to use Q [Overload] to recharge the two runes cast by EW and exchange them for a layer of shield.
But it was too late, and the Star Core hit Kuro and stunned him.
Lin Yan used Wind Rider's effect, and his movement speed increased again. W [Starburst] and two outer orbit stars emptied Ricky's HP!
QWR + Ice Spear, Dragon King's simplest combo!
Then, he used the movement speed buff to escape from the defense tower in the middle lane. When he left, his HP was less than 300.
"What's going on?"
Mille was looking at the bottom lane. When the caster cut to it, Ricky was already dead. "I saw that Ricky still had more than half of his HP!"
The audience also exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect the middle lane to be solo-killed again!
The caster was very sensible, and quickly replayed the video for the audience.
The three LPL commentators all sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Ran's damage calculation ability is ridiculous. He dared to cross the tower so confidently?" Mille shook his head and was speechless.
"That's ridiculous. Does Dragon King have to fight the lane to kill?
How is Kuro supposed to play like this? "
Doll said half-jokingly, "Kuro has been suppressed by Ran in all three games. He can't stop YM's sharp knife at all!"
The LCK commentators next door screamed.
"Kuro!
Please be more stable! "
One of the Korean commentators was Cloud Tempralr, a meritorious member of the runner-up team AZF in the S2 finals. He had an exaggerated expression. "Get out of the Abyss of Time. As long as you don't die, we won't blame you!"
"In fact, if Kuro can suppress Ran, ROX has a very high chance of winning," he continued. "However, after three games, the individual strength gap in the middle lane is still quite obvious."
Under Xiao Tian's cover, Lin Yan pushed through the minions and returned to the city. He put on a pair of straw sandals and buff books and rushed to the bottom lane without stopping.
Rat King's Ice shot out the Spirit Eagle in advance, aiming at Lin Yan's position. However, he still rushed over with his E skill.
The Tigers' bottom lane looked at the cannon in front of them, but they didn't dare to attack it. Lin Yan was there, eyeing them covetously!
Seeing his own cannon being eaten by the enemy minions, Lin Yan left the bottom lane with satisfaction.
Rat King gritted his teeth.
In his opinion, every time Dragon King turned his head, he revealed a despicable taste.
"10 minutes into the game, the economic gap is about to widen to 3K. YM has taken the initiative in the early game again!"
