When the fans saw that IG's base had been destroyed by Lin Yan's Sindra's normal attack, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
YM's performance in the opening match proved that they were still strong. In the short term, they still maintained a relatively high competitive level.
A few of the 'sons of b * tches' lurking in the comments were still arguing.
[Can't IG just find a blue-collar top laner?]
[The Sh * t's lane play in these two games isn't good enough?
How can you criticize them like that?]
[What's the f * cking use of having good control? One kill with one grab?
Flaunting Dog's current control is also bad. He was caught at 0/4 in 10 minutes and was taken offline at the speed of light.]
Hanyi sat in IG's lounge, watching his team's base mercilessly destroyed by his former team members. His heart was filled with melancholy.
However, this was the path that Hanyi had chosen himself. He had no regrets and was confident that he could train these IG members to be even better.
The next time they met, he would definitely let YM experience the strength of this IG team.
In Hanyi's heart, leading a new team to defeat a team that he had previously coached was undoubtedly a very fulfilling thing.
"Prophet, go shake hands!"
Jack stood up and saw that the Prophet was still dawdling in the same spot. He quickly reminded this support who had just entered LPL but was older than him.
"I know, I know … Wait for me to put on my shoes!" The Prophet put his legs down from the chair and grabbed his sneakers to put them on.
Bao Lan and the Prophet shook hands carefully. The stage was a mirror layout. The two of them were only separated by an empty aisle. Bao Lan saw with her own eyes that the Prophet came over after putting on his shoes.
Lin Yan patted Broiler's shoulder. The little fatty's face was filled with unhappiness.
In the past year, Broiler and Lin Yan had a total of four lane matches. Other than Lin Yan's use of Tribulation's double shurikens to kill him once, Broiler had a slight advantage in the early stages of the game.
However, they could not win. In fact, IG had already collapsed in the early stages of each game. The initiative was always in YM's hands.
Was it a problem of roaming?
Broiler's heart suddenly burned with passion.
Lin Yan had always been able to obtain kills by roaming around the flanks. Now that he had gotten extra money, he had no way of suppressing him anymore.
How about … he roamed around a few more times to see if he could gain some advantage?
Lin Yan didn't know that Broiler, under his influence, had followed the trend and started a wandering playstyle. This playstyle was even more extreme than his, the originator, thought process.
Ning was crestfallen as he shook hands with his old teammate.
He was originally very confident, thinking that his ability was not inferior to Xiao Tian. Last year, YM did not allow him to compete purely because there were too few placements and his professional attitude was not recognized by the management.
During this year's training, Hanyi had given him a mandatory task. He had to play at least five games of rank as a jungler every day outside of the training competition. Otherwise, he would have to go to the water cooler.
Hanyi was confident. He was not afraid of not having enough people. IG's League of Legends division lacked sponsorship and results, but they did not lack people.
Principal Wang had bought a bunch of players in the past two years. After using them twice, they were put on the bench. They did not even have a contract and were looking forward to retiring in the base as coolies to make up for the broadcast time.
Hanyi could just let the child god of roaming continue to be a jungler and then pull the newly transferred West up to play AD.
Ning felt a sense of crisis. He could not bear to sit on the bench for another half a year. During this time, he had been training hard. He had even bought two less pairs of his favorite AJ shoes. He wanted to prove his strength to his former teammates in the opening match.
However, he did not expect to be crushed by Xiao Tian in the early stages of the two games.
In the first game, Blind Monk had been sleepwalking the entire time. In the second game, although Xiao Tian's voice was not loud, that was because The Sh had used his own maneuvering to successfully stall for time and switch kills. If it had been a normal top laner, he would not have been able to last until Ning rushed over.
Ning could feel it himself. Every time he rushed to the battlefield, he was a few seconds slower than Xiao Tian.
Don't underestimate these few seconds. These few seconds could be used to attack the opponent with a set of skills. In the early stages of the game, it was very likely that these few seconds would affect the direction of the game.
Moreover, every time he attacked, he was passively fighting back. His movements were led by the nose by Xiao Tian the whole time.
There was no harm without comparison. Now, Ning's self-confidence was deeply stabbed.
He looked unwillingly at the backs of the YM players as they left. He lowered his head and packed up his keyboard. He decided to go back and play two more games with Blind Monk.
"Congratulations to YM for winning the opening game!"
The female host smiled. She held the card and looked at the Prophet and Jin Gong who were being interviewed. "Also welcome our new LPL Prophet …"
The Prophet adjusted his glasses and looked at the enthusiastic female host. His muscles tensed up and he took two steps to the side.
The female host felt a little embarrassed. She almost couldn't keep the smile on her face.
She remembered that half a year ago, she had interviewed YM's Lin Yan. At that time, whenever she got close, Lin Yan would shrink to the side, exactly like this Prophet.
What kind of people are in YM?
Am I that scary?
The other team members in the lounge laughed as they watched Prophet's actions.
"Hahaha, why is he so silly?" Lin Weixiang held his stomach and laughed.
Liu Qingsong decisively took out his phone and recorded it. He planned to go back and make an emoji of Lin Weixiang.
"You think you're qualified to talk about others?" Xiao Tian stuffed the keyboard into his backpack. "I think you're the most silly in our team."
"The Prophet has a bit of a social phobia. He's nervous when talking to strangers." Guo Hao leaned against the door. "Tonight is our official holiday. You guys go back to the base on time on February 8th."
"Don't forget to bring your ID when you leave. Be careful when you go back to your hometown. Don't eat anything bad. Especially you, Jack. Don't eat seafood and cold food …" Guo Hao advised.
"If you eat something bad and get sick and hospitalized, then Lin Weixiang will be the first to go." Guo Hao laughed.
Lin Weixiang's eyes lit up. He stepped forward and hugged Jack. "How about I treat you to lobster?
You can choose the price! "
White Crescent was grinning from ear to ear. Her face was full of joy.
He was very satisfied with YM's performance in the opening game. To the fans, the players, the management of the team, and even himself, they had given him a satisfactory answer.
As the newly appointed head coach, he could finally have a good New Year.
Lin Yan opened his backpack to check if his ID was complete. Su Cheng was officially on holiday after class. The two of them planned to leave tonight. Dead fish … It was a slip of the tongue.
The rest of the players would go back to their hometown early the next morning. Only Lin Yan and Su Cheng, whose hometown was very close to Shanghai, left first.
Jin Gong rushed back to the lounge. Behind him, the Prophet's face was pale and his legs were shaking.
When he saw the players in the lounge, his stiff face finally loosened a little.
Guo Hao hugged the Prophet's shoulder and shook it, as if to lend him strength. "Lin Yan and Su Cheng, you two are going to take the high-speed train at 10 pm, right?
Let's go have dinner first. "
The group walked out of the stadium with their backpacks. It was almost 7 pm. Shanghai got dark early in the winter, and night had already fallen.
Jack chatted with Su Cheng on the side about the problem of finding the opponent's jungler position in the early stages of the Ice. When he turned his head, he found that one person was missing.
"Nat, where are you going?"
Jack saw that Lefty was already some distance behind them. He was anxiously looking around, as if looking for his teammate. He hurriedly shouted.
"It's, it's too dark. I looked down at the news on my phone and couldn't find you guys." Zhuo Ding hurried over, his words slightly muffled.
"I'm too dark?" Phyllostachys Pubescens heard his ID and immediately tilted his head.
"No, no, no …" Zhuo Ding's face instantly turned paler than Su Cheng's. "That's not what I meant."
"Why are you so nervous?" Phyllostachys Pubescens quickly patted him on the shoulder. "Let me see what news you've been reading … QQ Watch?
You have a really unique taste. "
The group found a hot pot restaurant outside and had a meal. At around 9 pm, Lin Yan and Su Cheng carried their backpacks and rushed to the station.
Sitting in the taxi, Lin Yan looked at Su Cheng next to him. She hugged her backpack to her chest, her eyes were slightly closed, and her head couldn't help but droop. Then, just as her chin was about to poke her body, she suddenly woke up as if she had reached a critical point.
"Are you sleepy?" Lin Yan looked at his girlfriend.
While Su Cheng wasn't paying attention, he stretched out his arms and gently hugged her in his arms.
"I couldn't sleep well during the exam week and the opening match." Su Cheng covered her mouth and yawned.
She was indeed a little tired and didn't have any other reaction to Lin Yan's physical contact.
"Sleep for a while. I'll wake you up later," Lin Yan said softly.
Su Cheng didn't say anything. She closed her eyes and rested on Lin Yan's chest.
The driver in the front seat glanced at the rearview mirror and considerately turned off the radio. The taxi drove to another area in front of them.
It was already 11 pm when they returned to Suzhou. Su Cheng was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. Her white fingers tugged at the fabric of Lin Yan's shirt, afraid that he would run away.
"Which apartment are you going to?" Lin Yan asked.
"… Lakeside Four Seasons." Su Cheng opened her eyes, but they were dazed. It looked like she hadn't woken up yet.
It was less than ten kilometers from the train station to Lakeside Four Seasons by Jinji Lake. The journey was smooth in the middle of the night. They would arrive at the entrance of the residential area in less than a quarter of an hour.
Su Cheng finally recovered and noticed that Lin Yan's left hand was still around her waist.
She didn't know if it was Su Cheng's illusion, but even the heater in the taxi couldn't cover the temperature of Lin Yan's palm. The scorching breath passed through her sweater to the sensitive part of her waist, causing her body to tremble slightly.
She and Lin Yan rarely had such intimate moments.
Su Cheng wanted to pretend to be calm, but she felt her face burn.
She quickly drank a mouthful of water to moisten her throat, trying to use the coolness of the water to suppress the redness on her face.
But the plan clearly didn't succeed.
Because she heard Lin Yan's slightly teasing laughter.
"What are you laughing at!" Su Cheng's face became redder and redder. She might as well smash the pot when it was already cracked.
Seeing the taxi stop at the entrance of the residential area, she took out her phone to pay the fare and got out of the car with her backpack in her arms.
Lin Yan told the taxi to wait for him for a while before he got out and closed the door.
"Did your family buy a house here last year?"
"My dad insisted on buying it. We had to sell two houses to get the down payment." Su Cheng looked back at the main entrance of the residential area. The residential area was full of single-family villas. "I'll take you to see it some other day."
"This kind of house will definitely appreciate, right?"
Lin Yan had the idea of buying a house when he renewed his contract with YM. "I also want to buy one here."
"Didn't you want to buy a house in Shanghai?" Su Cheng was curious.
"Shanghai's social security records will take a long time." Lin Yan waved his hand. "I have too much money now. I'll buy one when I'm bored."
Su Cheng was choked by his words.
"I'm afraid of losing money when I invest in companies, and it's not comfortable to put it in the bank. After thinking about it, buying a house is more cost-effective."
"Go back and have a good sleep. Send me a message when you get home." Lin Yan stepped forward and gave her a hug.
Seeing Su Cheng enter the residential area with her backpack, Lin Yan got into the taxi.
After saying goodnight to Su Cheng, who had already entered the house, Lin Yan returned to the house where he lived in high school. The workaholic Lin Mingdong didn't come back. He was alone in the 200-square-meter house.
Lin Yan turned the doorknob and walked into the room. Two days ago, he asked the property management to find someone to clean the house. It looked livable now.
He took a shower and lay on the bed. The two stacks of teaching materials and the Disney blue backpack on the back of the chair were still the same as when he left two years ago.
Lin Ran smelled this familiar yet strange scent and fell into a deep sleep.
…
When he woke up again, it was already noon. Lin Yan laid on the bed and stared at the white ceiling for a while.
It wasn't until the phone on the bedside table vibrated more and more frequently that he moved his sore body and sat up.
Su Cheng sent two messages at eight o 'clock. Then, she guessed that Lin Yan hadn't woken up yet, so she went to read and do her thesis.
The noisy YM player group was the one that was noisy.
All the players had embarked on their journey home for the New Year. Jin Gong left Shanghai early in the morning and was now back home in South Korea. He also sent a photo of himself and his grandmother in the group.
Lin Yan had been looking forward to meeting Jin Gong's grandmother for a long time, but he had never seen her in person.
Every time Brother Xiba played ranked games, he would often say things like "My grandmother can get this flash" and "My grandmother is better than you, you stupid diamond" …
In Lin Yan's mind, Jin Gong and O 'Neal's grandmother were synonymous with omnipotence.
Phyllostachys Pubescens was still on the plane. He was probably asleep since he didn't appear in the group. Liu Qingsong took the opportunity to post Xiao Tian's memes in the group. One of them was a live broadcast.
Gao Tianliang stretched his neck and stared at Jin Gong's camera. His hair was messy and he looked like he had just woken up.
Lin Yan thought that a few of the pictures were interesting and included them in his army of memes.
However, a big show followed.
Knight, who was pulled into the group by Guo Hao after the Deutschland Cup, began to put on a show.
Knight9z: [Brothers, where's the toilet on the high-speed rail?]
White Crescent: [Brother, are you kidding me?]
Left Hand typed quickly: [Seriously, I can't hold it in anymore.]
Jack sent an emoticon: [Whenever I type this "?", it's not that I have a problem, it's that I think you have a problem.]
Guo Hao, the male mother of the high intensity surfing contestants, came forward to solve the problem. [There's a toilet in every carriage. You can just go straight ahead. Open the toilet door and press the green button.]
Knight9z continued to ask for details. [Do I have to carry my bag to the toilet?
Will it be stolen if I leave it on the seat?]
Xiao Tian suddenly appeared in the group chat. [Hahahaha, Zhuo Ding, are you trying to kill me?
You don't even know how to find the toilet?]
After pausing for five seconds, he sent a voice message in the group.
Lin Yan clicked on the voice message.
"Liu Qingsong, are you messing with my memes?
You're dead when you return to the base! "
Liu Qingsong disappeared. Lin Weixiang sent a string of ellipses. The black dots connected together to look like his eyebrows.
Two minutes later, Left Hand reported to Guo Hao that he had solved his personal hygiene problem. He also reported the location of the station to the group in real time. He was almost back to his hometown in Pingxiang.
Lin Yan almost laughed out loud.
He looked at the computer in the room and felt like he was reminiscing about the past.
After ordering the takeout, he turned on the computer and started the live broadcast.
[The host is so hardworking?
Live broadcast right after the competition?]
[Ghostfiend couldn't have been possessed, right?
Something's wrong, Brother League!]
[The background of the camera has changed. Is he going home?]
"Going home for the New Year. The base is empty now." Lin Yan saw the bullet screen and replied.
[Sob sob sob, the familiar blue schoolbag. My youth is back!]
[Host, what if we can't make it to the next round?]
Lin Yan also felt a little emotional. At the end of 2015, he was still worrying about when the number of viewers in his live broadcast room would exceed 10,000. Now, he was a world champion full of glory.
"The champion's skin should be Lucian or Sindra. Let's see what Fist says." Lin Yan glanced at WeChat. Su Cheng had finished her morning study and asked him what he was doing.
[I started the live broadcast. I'm going to order takeout.]
[Hey, can you bring me along?]
Lin Yan was worried that no one would accompany him. It was too boring to play ranked matches alone.
He found a diamond account from last season who also didn't play in the ranking match. Su Cheng's Electric One was stuck at diamond four with a 70% win rate. The main reason was that she was busy with her studies and work and didn't have much time to play. Her score couldn't go up.
Lin Yan turned off the live broadcast and pulled Su Cheng into the ranking room.
[There's a duo player?]
['Ran Bao's Mommy Loves You'. Who would come up with such a name?]
[I'm guessing it's Xiao Tian. Gao Tianliang is good at disgusting teammates.]
[Gao Tianliang + 1. I remember his last live broadcast at the top of the canyon was' Big Head Jack Don't Worry About Rain. 'He's really messing with people.]
[Stop guessing. Your brain circuits are really ridiculous.]
Lin Yan created a new desktop document and opened it to type and communicate with the bullet screen.
[Please don't use the full stop. I can't accept it.]
[This full stop makes me feel uncomfortable all over. I feel like my mood has finally improved after hugging my girlfriend in my arms.]
[Wake up. Where did your girlfriend come from?]
"What did you have for breakfast?"
Lin Yan asked Su Cheng. Now that the sound in the live broadcast room was turned off, the bullet screen viewers could only hear the background music in the game.
"Fried dough sticks and tofu pudding. Let's be honest. The savory tofu pudding is really fragrant." Su Cheng was still reminiscing about that day's breakfast.
It was winter vacation now. There were many players in the diamond section. They were queued up in half a minute.
The two of them randomly banned and locked onto the combination of cards and spiders.
[Electric One Drill Three match?
Isn't this fried fish?]
[Gui Gui is too ruthless, right?
The champion, Nakano, fried electric one drill three?
The opposing team is really five unlucky people.]
Even though Lin Yan explained that the person in the duo wasn't Xiao Tian, the bullet screen didn't believe him. They had watched Phyllostachys Pubescens' live broadcast for a long time. Everything they watched had a strange feeling.
"I'm level three. Can you cooperate?" Su Cheng pinged.
The opposing team was the combination of Vampire and Blind Monk.
An early-mid tempo point and a mid-late tempo point with an uncontrollable core. The combination was neither fish nor fowl, but it was normal in a casual game.
Vampire relied on his Blood Pool and didn't have Purification. He wanted to make it easier for him to enter the game in the mid-late game with his usual skills of Flash and Sprint.
Spider was level three in 2: 37. Su Cheng's movements weren't as smooth as a professional player like Xiao Tian. She didn't pull the monsters' aggro to the limit and was slower by two seconds.
However, there was still plenty of time to level three in the mid lane in 2: 52.
Lin Yan saw that Su Cheng was in position and immediately went forward to draw a card.
Vampire was a player who specialized in a thousand games. He had only been a champion for half a year. A thousand games was already a very exaggerated number.
He had purposely held back on learning the skill points when he reached level two so that he could be prepared for a possible gank.
Seeing Lin Yan cross the line of monsters and move forward, the tri-colored card above his head flashing back and forth, Vampire was ready to learn from W Blood Pool.
Lin Yan drew a yellow card and threw a poker card at Vampire. At the same time, Su Cheng came out of the bushes and the Spider Queen was ready.
Vampire was a little lacking in details. The moment he saw Lin Yan draw a card, he handed over his Blood Pool and ran back.
However, he didn't expect that Lin Yan had used a fake yellow card. He had used a normal attack to confuse the opponent into giving up the means to escape the moment he locked onto the yellow card.
Lin Yan had used this trick to trick the overly nervous Xi Ye. Now, Vampire couldn't escape this fate.
Vampire saw that Lin Yan still had a yellow card above his head and knew that he had miscalculated. He hurriedly used Flash and ran back to the bottom of the tower.
However, Lin Yan used Flash and Dash to catch up. The moment Vampire left the Blood Pool, the yellow card froze him. Su Cheng used her human form and used Cocoon when the stun was about to end.
She changed into her spider form and used a set of skills to help Lin Yan take down the first health point. Then, she used Flying Sky to jump onto a ranged soldier and calmly escaped.
A few 666 popped up in the chat, but that was it. After all, killing a Diamond 3 wasn't difficult for a pro player.
Su Cheng then displayed her extraordinary sense of smell. Even though she wasn't very familiar with spiders, her analysis of the changes in the jungle wasn't in vain. She used all sorts of fancy and practical tricks.
Using the mindset of a pro team to play this kind of casual game, there was no suspense at all. It was a complete steamroll.
Blind Monk was caught by Su Cheng and Lin Yan in the 20-minute match. The public chat was filled with question marks. In the end, he abandoned his teammates and went offline.
After an afternoon of consecutive victories, Su Cheng successfully reached Diamond 3 50. The process was rather boring, and it ended after she steamrolled her way through.
Lin Yan's stream didn't say anything. The viewers in the stream could only look at Lin Yan's handsome face in the lower right corner of the camera to amuse themselves. They discussed the fishing trope of entering "eye protection" into the chat and entering "eye protection" into the chat.
Su Cheng didn't expose herself. Until Lin Yan went offline in the evening, the viewers still thought that the player who was paired with Lin Yan was Xiao Tian.
Sometimes, they would use the excuse of "not being used to playing games at home" to cover up their mistakes. After all, their awareness was higher than others of the same level. If they weren't high level players, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
After going offline, Lin Yan went to have dinner with Su Cheng outside. Then, he accepted his girlfriend's invitation to visit her house.
