"Ran has completed a solo kill!" PDD's sudden exclamation almost sent the two commentator partners away.
"He's too confident in his ability to cheat and ignite after the explosion. His shooting speed is quite fast," Mille said. "The connection between skill and passive is very smooth."
"I think Ran's Lucian's skill is about the same as a first-rate ADC." Doll made a fuss. "Did he really train in just a week?"
"It's normal." PDD's expression did not change. "Ran is the most talented kid I've ever seen. He can practice any hero very quickly."
Following the solo kill, YM's fans in the stadium burst into deafening cheers. SKT's fans stared at the big screen in disbelief.
They did not expect YM's mid laner Ran to obtain one of the greatest achievements of the current professional mid laner in less than five minutes of the first small round of the finals — a solo kill of Faker.
The caster gave Lucian a close-up as he returned to town. Then, the camera focused on the dead Clockwork Devil. The originally delicate and slim Clockwork Devil had turned into a pile of broken pieces.
"That's a solo kill?
Isn't that too easy? Is Faker only at this level? "
"Even if you were given three kills, Lucian, you could still solo kill him. Did you get some money from the first-rate squad?"
Faker scratched his head in distress. He had to admit that he had underestimated Lucian's strength. Looking at the 600 RMB in his pocket, he could only reluctantly sell the Eye of Truth for money, buy a cloth armor, and buy a Doran Ring.
However, he did not have any supplies with him.
Lin Yan returned to town and waited for ten seconds in the spring. He bought a Sawtooth Dagger and Caulfield's War Hammer and prepared to fuse a Dream Spirit.
"Stay steady in the bottom lane. I'll be C this round." Lin Yan knew that the duo in the bottom lane was in a difficult situation, so he quickly comforted his teammates.
"Of course. Brother Ran, don't worry. I'll definitely lay down well."
JKL's mouth was crooked from laughing. His own mid laner brother had solo killed Faker in less than five minutes. Where else could he find such a teammate?
"Xiao Tian, protect me. We'll go to the jungle together later," Lin Yan suggested.
At this time, Phyllostachys Pubescens returned to the city and took out a green jungler. He inserted all of his eyes into the middle lane and lit up all the bushes near Lin Yan to ensure that Lucian could continue to push and suppress him without any pressure.
"Is Mongoose possessed by a stupid chicken?
Isn't the smell of a mid-laner a little too strong? "
"Don't shout if you don't understand. This is a Daddy Protector Style that combines 443 and 4396."
"In that case, if YM wins this match, will it be thanks to my brother and Mingkai's 1/3?"
Lin Ran safely pushed away the creeps, and then he led Little Sky, who was unwilling to give up, into the jungle again.
This time, Lin Yan successfully killed a group of rock golems while protecting Xiao Tian. However, the stupid chicken rarely went to the top lane and ambushed, forcing Jin Gong to use Blink.
"Can we go to the bottom lane?" Xiao Ming asked. "Blink on the Ice isn't good enough. I have Ignite."
Now that a wave of creeps was about to enter the tower from the bottom lane, Lin Yan felt that this was an opportunity. After taking two steps, Wolf suddenly cleared out the creeps in the back with a RQ. Then, he used Ten Thousand Arrows to kill the creeps in front.
Since they were so eager to clear out the creeps, they obviously knew that someone was coming.
"There should be an eye here." Lin Yan pinged the bush that the red buff was facing.
Xiao Tian activated his scan. As expected, there was a fake eye that had been activated for more than half the time. The stupid chicken had just killed F4 and rushed to the top lane, so he did not have time to set up his vision. Wolf must have taken the time to insert it.
Lin Yan had to admit that SKT's map control was too strong. Whether it was the coaches' arrangements or the players' quick thinking, this method of sacrificing their line of vision to protect the jungle was worthy of admiration.
This kind of eye position required a certain amount of vision in advance. By expanding one's vision, they could discover the opponent's whereabouts in advance and make timely decisions.
If it had been other teams, they would have waited until Lin Yan and Xiao Tian walked out of the tower before they could react. YM's four-pack of two would have been a success. After all, at that time, Lin Yan's strength was explosive.
However, SKT used this small eye position to know YM's movements in the middle lane. They cleared out the creeps early and neutralized this wave of attack.
This kind of eye position was not something that any team could or would dare to set up. This was because the line of vision for gank prevention was relatively fixed. If a few bushes were set up with an eye position, the opponent would definitely be discovered.
Moreover, this kind of deep vision was quite risky. The routes in the jungle were complex and varied, and there were many options for ambushing. Setting up such an eye position required analysis and judgment of the situation, or it would backfire.
"Let's go. Don't focus on the jungle now. Wait for me to find an opportunity."
Lin Yan rushed back to the front lane and started clearing out the creeps. If they continued to rashly invade, they would not be able to gain an advantage over SKT.
Faker's double Dolan + cloth armor was nothing compared to Lin Yan's two small items from Deep Dream.
With the excellent vision that Xiao Tian had set up for the middle lane, Lin Yan's playstyle was becoming more and more arrogant. If Faker dared to leave the tower, he would use his E Slide Step to attack.
Li Xianghe did not have any supplies on him, and after a round of attacks, his HP was less than 23. At this time, another wave of artillery entered the tower, and Lucian had reached level 6.
He smelled danger again, but before he could open his mouth, Dumb Chicken had already taken a detour to the middle lane.
As long-time teammates, Dumb Chicken and Faker had a tacit understanding. He knew that his mid laner was not having a good time.
"I'll help you catch him. You show an opening."
Dumb Chicken knew that Xiao Tian had set up an eye on the bushes near the middle lane, so he could only sneak in from the second tower.
Faker intentionally threw a Q [Command: Attack] at Lin Yan, then slowly replenished the artillery creeps below the tower, and successfully reached level 6.
Clockwork's level 3 Q skill had a 4.5 second cooldown. During this time, the magic puppet would not be able to attack Lin Yan. Faker was sure that Lin Yan would take this opportunity to attack.
As expected, Lin Yan saw that he had handed over the magic puppet and immediately rushed forward.
"W dot dot, Q dot dot …" Lin Yan muttered in his heart. He tapped on the floor, and on the screen, Lucian shot out bullets in a smooth rhythm.
The moment Lin Yan attacked, Faker activated E [Command: Defend] to give himself a shield, then turned around and moved a little.
Dumb Chicken used Faker's movement to successfully use Golden Bell Cover to close in, and then Li Xianghe healed him to chase after him.
Lin Yan had taken some damage from the tower in order to use up Clockwork, and his HP had dropped by a chunk.
The moment he saw Blind Monk appear, he used E [Grim Pursuit] to slide back, and at the same time drank the HP potion that he had bought as a starter.
Dumb Chicken used the healing to speed up Lin Yan's movement with E [Sky Thunder Break Tendon Break Bone], then threw out a Q [Sky Sound Wave].
It hit!
At such a close distance, Lucian would definitely not be able to dodge it if he did not use Flash!
Dumb Chicken immediately used his second Q [Echo Strike] to chase after him.
"This isn't good. Dumb Chicken's condition is quite good, and Clockwork has risen to level 6. Lucian is a big head, and if he dies, we have to give SKT a 500 team bounty!" Mille was worried.
At this time, YM could not break through other than the middle lane. If Lin Yan gave away the bounty, this match would be over.
Not only him, but many Chinese viewers were also worried.
From a rational point of view, most people believed that YM would not be able to defeat SKT. However, when it came to the finals, other than SKT fans, the majority of the Chinese viewers still supported YM emotionally.
After all, rationality was rationality, and emotion was emotion. At this time, YM represented the LPL region.
Lin Yan's E ability provided two passive bullets to Clockwork. The W [Fervent Bullet] that was previously marked on Clockwork was triggered, and it gave Lin Yan 60 points of movement speed.
He used the 60 points of movement speed to quickly increase the distance between them.
Then, Lin Yan raised both guns and activated his R [Holy Gun Baptism]!
Light bullets shot out, and all of them landed on Blind Monk who was in front of him!
"Pow pow pow pow pow …"
The level 5 Blind Monk only had a green hunting knife, and at full health, he only had 800 HP. On the other hand, Lucian's level 1 ultimate could shoot 22 bullets in 3 seconds, and each bullet would deal 20 + 0.2 additional damage.
Coupled with his luxurious equipment, Dumb Chicken's HP dropped rapidly!
"Lucian's damage with four heads is too high!
Dumb Chicken can't take it! "
At this time, Clockwork's normal attack also dealt thunder damage, and Lin Yan was left with less than 13 HP.
At this time, Faker's Q ability finally changed. The moment the magic puppet was thrown out, Lin Yan suddenly used Flash!
This Flash dodged the magic puppet, passed through Blind Monk, and directly appeared in front of Faker. The remaining light bullets landed on Clockwork's face!
The cloth armor that Clockwork bought could only cancel out Lin Yan's armor penetration, so how could it withstand this damage?
"Ran doesn't want to leave, he wants to change Clockwork!"
Dumb Chicken quickly used Flash to block the bullets for Faker who was low on HP!
However, the 6 seconds of the [Fervent Bullet] wasn't over yet. When Lin Yan used his ultimate on Clockwork, he gained additional movement speed, and he once again pulled away to the side.
At this time, the [Holy Gun Baptism] ended. Lin Yan's two passive attacks landed on Faker, and he followed up with another bullet.
Even if Faker had cloth armor, he couldn't withstand Lucian's high damage. Since Lin Yan had Flash dodged the magic puppet, he couldn't even use his ultimate and died instantly!
Dumb Chicken still had a little more than half of his HP left. He continued to chase, wanting to get Lin Yan's huge bounty!
However, Lin Ran had used his movement speed to create some distance between him and the Blind Monk. At this moment, Dumb Chicken had no way of attacking him. He could only chase after him and wait for the next [Heaven Sound Wave] to take his head.
Lin Yan walked all the way up, rushing towards the river.
Blind Monk's W [Golden Bell Cover] only had a 7 second cooldown, and his initial movement speed was faster than Lucian's. At this time, he was already close to Lin Yan's face.
At this time, a tunnel suddenly appeared above the river's wall, and Xiao Tian's Void Burrowing Beast came through!
After decisively sending Blind Monk flying, the three-stage Q attacked, and its sharp claws viciously tore open Blind Monk's skin.
After Dumb Chicken's one second of control effect ended, his W skill had already finished. He quickly moved forward, and heavily punched Lin Yan.
At this time, Lin Yan only had a little more than 100 HP left, and his left hand's middle finger continuously pressed the E key on the keyboard.
Finally, in the instant Blind Monk's next normal attack appeared, the E skill refreshed, and Lucian slid to the side, hiding behind the Excavator and pulling away!
At this time, he only had 30 HP left!
(Tip Calculator: Version 6.18, Lucian's Level 1 E has an initial cooldown of 18 seconds, and [Caulfield's Warhammer] provides a 10% cooldown, which is 16.2S. Lin Yan had previously used the E and R skills, and each skill had a cooldown of 2 seconds, so he had a total of 8.2S. Blind Monk's W had a cooldown of 7 seconds, and as mentioned above, both skills were used at the same time, so the cooldown difference between the two displacement skills was about 1.2 seconds.)
Dumb Chicken still wanted to chase after them, but Xiao Tian's Excavator sneakily blocked his position, blocking between Blind Monk and Lucian!
His second Q, [Heavenly Sound Wave], had finally refreshed after a 9-second cooldown. He tried to attack, but it was still blocked by Phyllostachys Pubescens!
"Duke on the top wanted to rush down, but Jin Gong was very bold, he used his body to block Duke's path!"
PDD's voice was loud and clear. "Jess focused all his damage on Ike, forcing Ike to use his ultimate move!"
"With this, Lucian successfully escaped!" Mille shouted excitedly.
When the audience saw Lucian, who had escaped with only a sliver of HP left, waving his two guns as he returned to the city, they could not help but burst into thunderous cheers!
They had thought that this match would be a one-sided victory, but YM had brought them too many surprises!
At that time, Blind Monk was also severely injured by Xiao Tian, but Duke finally arrived and forced Phyllostachys Pubescens away, protecting his big brother, Dumb Chicken, as they escaped from the river.
"SKT went for wool and came home shorn this time!"
Doll's tone was sonorous and powerful. "Clockwork gave up his healing, Blind Monk used his Flash, and Lucian used his equipment advantage to kill one of them. SKT suffered a huge loss!"
"It's mainly because Faker's equipment is too bad, and Blind Monk hasn't reached level 6. To put it bluntly, their damage is about the same as Lucian's alone." PDD laughed heartily.
"Forced to kill one of them in a 1v2 fight, I'm dying of laughter. Why did you provoke him?"
"Can this Ran solo and Airplane combo kill one of them become the famous scene of Faker's corpse being whipped?"
"I suggest this scene be put together with Ximen Yujin's prediction of the Flash, jumping over the tower, and killing Faker."
"Isn't this a pure crushing of equipment?
Lucian's maneuvering is so detailed, isn't it fine as long as he has hands? "
"Fine as long as he has hands?
You can't even use your hands and feet! "
"'Is this a pure crushing of equipment'?
Isn't the crushing of equipment achieved by the opponent himself?
Ran isn't like Principal Wang who brings 10,000 gold coins with him. "
At that time, in Shanmurou's live streaming channel.
"Oh my, SKT, what are you doing?
I'm about to faint, Faker is committing a crime … "Shanmurou had witnessed the entire process of Lucian escaping with only a sliver of health left. He slapped his forehead hard with his chubby hand, let out a long sigh, and fell backward heavily.
The bullet screen was filled with ridicule.
"Brother Flame, say something?"
"Streamer, are you okay?
If you're okay, I'll call an ambulance for you. "
"Looking at his miserable state, he must have bet on a lot of fishballs. See you on the rooftop!"
When Faker saw that Lin Yan had successfully escaped, he pursed his lips tightly. His originally calm heart finally showed signs of irritation.
Mille watched as Lin Yan returned to the city, took out Dream Spirit in seven minutes, and Clockwork could only replenish one buff book. He could not help but mourn for Faker.
"Just now, in order to capture Lucian, Faker lost another small wave of creeps under the tower. Now, his opponent's economy is completely crushed," PDD said seriously.
"To be fair, Faker's main disadvantage is that the distribution of kills in the first-level squad is too poor. He doesn't even have a single kill. If Doran Ring comes online to fight Lucian who has Doran Sword and three longswords, how can he play this game?"
"Moreover, Lucian is very good at Clockwork in the early stages. Basically, Clockwork doesn't even dare to fight back against Clockwork. In addition to his equipment advantage, there's really no way to play this game." Mille nodded in agreement.
Lin Yan had finally established a complete advantage in the middle lane. However, after resisting for seven minutes, there was finally a flaw in the bottom lane.
When the duo of SKT saw Xiao Tian appear in the upper lane, they decisively made their move.
After Ice ate the creeps, the number of creeps suddenly increased by 6%. A wave of accurately guided Magical Crystal Arrows controlled Xiao Ming. Together with Wolf, they killed him.
"YM now has a 1.5K economy advantage, which is mostly concentrated in the middle lane." Mille crossed his arms. "However, the rest of YM's economy isn't in the lead. In fact, both the top and bottom lanes are at a disadvantage."
"Next, we'll have to see how big of a snowball YM can make using Lucian's strength," PDD said calmly. "If this formation doesn't have a big enough advantage, Lucian's period of dominance will basically end in about 25 minutes. At that time, it'll be SKT's turn to unleash their full power!"
