"Congratulations to YM for winning the first round!" Mille raised his voice. "They have successfully achieved 9 consecutive victories in small matches. Their invincible golden body is still unbroken!"
"The MVP of the last match is here..." Doll looked at the handsome figure that appeared on the screen and subconsciously said, "Ran!
His last Ritz Golden Body drive was very crucial. It preserved all the Dragon buffs! "
"A 32.7% damage ratio, 81% lead in last hits, and several other stats are also very good!"
Mille said, "Ran has been maintaining this admirable stable state since last season."
"Indeed," Mille laughed and joked. "To him, a small C is not a C. Everyone is used to it."
The fans who supported YM saw their home team win and finally felt proud. They decisively became gravediggers.
They dug out all the posts that had been posted on the forum to slander YM. Then, they mocked and ridiculed YM as much as possible.
[Where are the haters?
Continue to come out and shout.]
[What's wrong with shooting commercials?
Won't they still win?
I don't think WE can hold on for 30 minutes.]
[After all, in their eyes, esports clubs can't shoot commercials. They have to rely on their keyboards to make money to sign players.]
The best way to solve the embarrassment of being slapped in the face online was to play dead. Uninstall the software and wait for the situation to turn around again to continue ridiculing.
Repeating this cycle, sit-ups were always in an invincible position. That was the true meaning of surfing.
However, there were still many people who didn't like YM and went against the wind.
[Is YM strong now?
Look at their level last year. If WE Dragon wasn't stolen this round, it's hard to say who would have won.]
[It's true. Using the early lineup, they only led by 1K in economy after 20 minutes. If that Dragon didn't fall, WE would have won for sure.]
YM's fanatical fans immediately retorted.
[This is the first time I've heard of a Dragon that can't be stolen. In the future, just put a fence around the Dragon pit.]
[Classic stubbornness. Can you still jump here after losing the game?
Does your face hurt?]
However, although those people were stubborn, there was nothing wrong with what they said.
If YM did not rely on a wave of command to steal the Dragon, it was very likely that they would lose the first round.
"It's my problem." White Crescent greeted them outside the lounge. There was a hint of guilt in her smile. "The BP was too bad. You guys are really fierce to be able to win like that."
He knew that he had been tricked by Red Rice in the previous round. If the two sides had switched their lineups, White Crescent would not have known how they would have lost. His own team member had the bright idea of stealing the Dragon, which broke the stalemate.
Fortunately, they won this round. Otherwise, as the head coach, he would definitely be whipped to death by countless YM fans.
"Well done, Brother Ran!" White Crescent pinched Lin Yan's shoulders with both hands, flattering him like a masseuse.
In the team's lounge, he could hear his own team's voice chat. He knew that this wave of double flash cards to steal the vision of the Dragon was done by Jackey … Now that he thought about it, it was Lin Yan's command.
White Crescent's eyes lit up when she thought of this.
He didn't expect that this kind of trash BP could win.
Red Rice, Red Rice, you didn't expect this, did you?
After working so hard for so long, you still lost.
White Crescent was happy, but he didn't ask for credit. He knew that he had almost screwed up this round, so he had to be more careful with his BP in the next round.
On the other side, Red Rice was indeed a little angry.
When everyone in WE gathered together to take the Dragon, he felt that something was wrong. He didn't expect YM to seize the opportunity and break the good situation.
Red Rice was not in a hurry to tell them the tactics for the next round. He was a person who was used to reviewing the problems of the previous round.
The reason he was willing to teach this WE team was because he wanted to bring these players to the World Championship that was being held in China this year. In the eyes of the Red Rice team, this competition for the first place in Group A was nothing special.
Unlike most of the gentle coaches in China, Red Rice followed the typical Korean style of coaches and was known for his seriousness.
In Red Rice's eyes, the relationship between the coach and the players was that of a superior and a subordinate. He didn't care if there was a popular player in the team.
"You guys gathered too many people to take the Dragon. Ben, you can leave after you make sure that the opponent's vision is cleared."
"You guys took it for granted. The opponent's mid laner must have the ability to steal the Dragon if he got Ryze. The vision of the River Crab can't guarantee the safety of the Dragon." Red Rice stared at Ben.
The Dragon's vision was lost. The cauldron must have been the vision of Yefu and Yefu. Kandi was going to take the Dragon, so the problem must have been Ben.
The players had just finished their game. The mistakes they made in the previous round were still fresh in their minds. Ben picked at his fingers and looked down at the floor. He quietly admitted his mistake.
…
Lin Yan walked briskly onto the stage again. He greeted Xi Ye who came out from the other side.
"You're still drinking milk?"
"Oh …" Seer glanced at Lin Ran. She couldn't help but recall Ryze's final Golden Body move in the previous match, which allowed him to escape with his three teammates and make them run around in circles.
Xi Ye took a sip of the milk in the paper cup. His favorite Wang Zai didn't taste good anymore.
How infuriating!
"Welcome back to the 2017 LPL Spring Season …" Doll finished reading the advertisement.
The BP screen of the second round appeared!
"YM chose the red side while WE chose the blue side. They banned Pekingese first!" Mille cleared his throat. "YM banned Little Temptress!"
WE banned Ember without hesitation.
White Crescent paced behind the players' seats. She bit her lip lightly.
Red Rice's idea was very obvious. He didn't ban Ice like he did in the previous round. The main reason was that WE had the first pick in the blue side.
After WE banned Pekingese and YM banned Little Temptress, the only version T1 players left were Ice, Ember, and Qing Gang Yin.
From White Crescent's point of view, WE didn't want to play Qing Gang Yin. Red Rice chose to ban Ember and Ice. He was clearly telling them that he wanted to steal Ice from the blue side.
"Ban Ice." White Crescent hesitated for a moment before saying.
Ice was a hero. Due to the uniqueness of his E [Eagle Soars the Sky], he was much more useful in professional matches than in casual matches.
Ice's E ability was basically useless in casual matches, especially in the lower divisions.
Not only did the user not know how to cast it, but even if he could see the other party's movements, his teammates in the lower branches would not give him any feedback. He still had to hold the line. If he was caught dead, he could just confiscate the jungler's mother.
However, professional matches were different. The stronger the team's coaching and analysis team, the more likely Ice's Eagle Soars the Sky would be able to see the opponent's jungler's movements in the early stages. It would provide the team with enough valuable information.
White Crescent didn't doubt Red Rice's skill at all. His brother-in-law's Ice was very likely to replicate YM's famous scene in the opening match.
Red Rice thought for a moment and gave the third ban to Ryze.
The two commentators laughed unkindly.
"Ran's golden body is really disgusting. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be nerfed," Mille commented. "Otherwise, Ryze can mindlessly carry in the future. It's even more ridiculous than cards. As long as he uses his golden body, he won't die at all."
White Crescent banned Sindra in the end.
WE decisively chose Spider.
"Blind Monk and Karma."
White Crescent learned the lesson of the last game and planned to choose an AP character who could play support first, so as to avoid being tricked by Red Rice.
Ella and Policewoman were WE's second and third choices.
"WE's bottom laner has a scary long hand!"
Mille frowned. "I think WE's lineup is going to be a speed pusher …"
Spider was a hero who had very strong lane control. He could push over towers when he went forward, and he could control his lane to crouch when he retreated. With Policewoman, he could link up with her. It was quite perfect.
Jack played with the heating pad in his hand. This was a common item in winter games. It was used to raise the temperature of the players' hands and prevent their fingers from being frozen and causing their operation to deteriorate.
"Do you want an EZ?" he asked smugly.
Now that Ember and Ice were banned, Policewoman was robbed, the only AD that could be used was EZ, known as the King of the Sewer.
But if they chose EZ, the pressure on the bottom lane would be too great. The crazy lane pushing combination of Policewoman and Ella would not be able to take advantage of it.
There was only one advantage to picking him — his ability to escape was very strong. Even if he was overshot, he could still escape from Spider's hands.
"How about Verus?" White Crescent was prepared. "You can play as a poke player."
When he saw his brother-in-law choose Policewoman in the last game, he thought of Verus, an AD with the same long hands and excellent poke ability. It was just right to bring him out now.
Jack glanced at the opposite lineup. Verus was indeed good. His clearing speed and Ella's plants were quite fast. "But I have to carry Purify. The healer will be overshot."
"No problem."
Doll was surprised to see YM's third choice. "Verus?
No one played Hero after the global finals. I haven't seen him in a while! "
Mille speculated. "This Verus should be used to deal with Policewoman in the bottom lane. The two AD's will push each other to ensure that the pressure on the bottom lane won't be too great."
The second round of BP had already begun. Both sides had finished choosing the three positions in the bottom lane. Red Rice and White Crescent coincidentally targeted the remaining two positions in the top and middle lane.
WEban killed Lucian and the Titan.
YM banned Shenhe and Big Tree. White Crescent intended to destroy WE's proud late-game team battle.
"Take Qing Gang Yin," White Crescent patted Jin Gong's shoulder. "Do well in this game."
Jin Gong nodded vigorously. He had been targeted a bit miserably in the last game.
In this game, the Siberian decided to get back his face and prove himself.
Red Rice looked at YM's choice and sneered.
WE's fourth and fifth floor lockdown!
"Crocodile and Jess!" Doll was very surprised. "WE's two picks are so fierce!"
"They plan to give 957 Crocodile and pair it with Spider to catch Jin Gong's Qing Gang Yin!"
Mille exclaimed. He didn't expect WE's jungler to choose such a lineup.
"And more importantly, without Sindra and Lucian in the middle lane, Jess is almost invincible!"
Doll said exaggeratedly. "Crocodile is also very easy to play against Qing Gang Yin. WE've chosen a lineup that can take all three lanes!"
"Doesn't that mean Spider can go wherever he wants?" Mille continued Mondo's line.
Red Rice looked at his own team's lineup and felt very comfortable.
This was the most ideal lineup he could choose for WE. They had support points in the mid and late game, and their team battle ability was also very good.
He couldn't wait to poke his head out to see White Crescent's surprised expression.
Red Rice passed Qing Gang Yin in the second pick. He was sure that Jin Gong would definitely pick it. This was a deliberate trap for YM.
957, nicknamed Brother Legs, was indeed a blue collar, but he was different from Mouse, who was also a blue collar top laner. The top laner's light was because of his mediocre individual skill and the team's lack of tactics.
In terms of position in the team, 957 was more like YM's Jin Gong. His mechanics were also very good, but they often sacrificed for the team and were willing to be a blue collar.
This didn't mean that he couldn't be a carry hero.
Not to mention, after Red Rice joined WE, he was trying to lead the team to a Korean style.
One of the Korean top laners that was popular all over the world was the use of single lane strength and tactics to pull apart the opponent's formation and get more resources through the minions to win the game.
957 had been secretly practicing various carry types of top laners to enrich the team's tactics. Today's Crocodile + Spider was used to train Qing Gang Yin!
【Desert Spider?
Ghost is so ruthless.】
【Brother Legs can play this kind of hero?】
【The Zoo combination is here!
Spider + Crocodile is definitely the best combination in the casual game. Who agrees and who opposes?】
White Crescent was indeed very surprised. Before the game, he expected 957 to be the top blue collar that Dagger Girl played well.
In the 2017 Spring Competition, WE had played 9 small games so far. 957 took 4 games of Shen, 3 games of Titan, 1 game of Big Tree, and 1 game of Wine Barrel. All of them were pressure resistant top laners. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like someone who could play Crocodile!
He looked at the countdown on the computer screen and was burning with anxiety.
Spider and Crocodile were bound together. It was brainless to target the top laner. A warrior character like Qing Gang Yin could easily collapse after being caught a few times.
Lin Yan hesitated for a moment and said softly,
"How about giving me Qing Gang Yin?"
White Crescent was stunned.
"Huh?"
Jin Gong also turned his head with a face full of doubts.
"If Xi Ye uses Jayce, I can use Qing Gang Yin to beat him. I won't lose." Lin Yan pinched his fingers confidently.
His version development ability as high as 94 told him that Qing Gang Yin mid laner was completely feasible.
The team voice chat was silent. His teammates' eyes were all focused on him.
"I've played a few games." Lin Yan knew what they were worried about. He was quite helpless. "Don't panic, okay?"
White Crescent couldn't think of a better hero choice in a short time. He could only listen to Lin Yan's opinion.
Jin Gong was overjoyed. He didn't have a choice before.
Now, if he didn't have to undergo military training, why would he want to suffer?
In the perspective of the live audience, YM's fifth floor revealed an unexpected hero!
Heart of Fury, Kenan!
The live broadcast instantly exploded with comments!
【？？？】
【What's the situation?
Did they choose the wrong person?】
"What does this mean?" Mille was so surprised that his voice almost broke. "Qing Gang Yin and Kenan?
Which hero is YM going to use as the mid laner? "
"Qing Gang Yin mid laner!" Doll's body suddenly leaned forward. "What kind of strategy is this?"
"According to the statistics of the five major divisions, there are no professional players using Qing Gang Yin as the mid laner. Ran is the first." Mille adjusted his headset to receive the news from the director.
"Just like last year's Rambo and Lucian mid laner?"
Doll had some doubts at first. On second thought, Lin Yan did choose a lot of strange heroes to play as the mid laner. He decided to wait and see for a while before jumping to conclusions.
"I don't know what effect Ran can have with Qing Gang Yin." Mille looked at the selection interface. "If he performs well, it's likely to set off a wave of trends in the random game!"
"Qing Gang Yin mid laner …" Red Rice didn't expect YM to have such a hidden card.
The unexpected Qing Gang Yin mid laner ruined all his previous careful preparations. Kenan was able to suppress Crocodile in the top lane matchup, and Qing Gang Yin was not bad against Jayz.
Two of the three routes he had originally thought of had been cracked. Now, only the policewoman's route had the advantage of being the only one left.
Red Rice looked at White Crescent on the opposite side at this time. He saw that he had a strategist's face and was talking and laughing with his team members without any nervousness.
So the coach on the opposite side already had a way to crack it?
Red Rice felt a rare sense of frustration. Since he came to the LPL, a division where the coaching industry was not developed, he rarely found an opponent who was on par with him.
Last season, he competed with White Crescent on OMG several times in VG.
At that time, both of them were extremely frustrated. VG stumbled on the edge of the playoffs, and OMG was even more miserable. If it wasn't for Old Thief Sima holding them back, they would probably have run to LSPL to control thunder and lightning.
Red Rice didn't think White Crescent was bad at that time, because he knew that the team's record was not entirely dependent on the coach, but closely related to the performance of the players.
Now that the two were fighting again after more than half a year, in Red Rice's view, White Crescent's level had improved by leaps and bounds. He was completely a qualified opponent.
He defeated him in the first game in the BP segment, and the opponent returned the counterattack of Verus and Qing Gang Yin in the second game.
Wonderful, wonderful!
Both sides' lineups were confirmed.
Blue side WE: Top Crocodile, Jungler Spider, Mid Jess, Policewoman + Ella.
Red side YM: Top Tank Kenan, Jungler Blind Monk, Mid Tank Qing Gang Yin, Bottom Tank Verus + Karma.
Red Rice took off his headphones and shook hands with White Crescent.
"You're very good."
Red Rice praised with his broken Mandarin. He thought that only SKT coach Kkoma and three-star coach Edgar could compete with him, but he didn't expect LPL to have such hidden talents.
White Crescent was puzzled.
What's so good about him?
I was crushed by you in two BP rounds, and you still want to disgust me?
White Crescent looked at Red Rice's smiling face and suddenly felt humiliated. He let go of his hand and walked off the stage with a dark face.
Red Rice hurriedly followed. He didn't take White Crescent's ugly face to heart.
It was normal for the strong to be a little arrogant. Wasn't he also arrogant back then?
"Calm down. Just wait for me and Little Tortoise to set the pace." Lin Yan chose Flash Ignite and his talent War Fervor.
He glanced at the opposite side. Xi Ye had Thunder + Flash Ignite and was also very fierce.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't fight if you guys don't come."
Jack was really steady when he needed to be. The team's strategy didn't favor him, so he just stayed put.
Under the anticipation of the crowd, Summoner's Canyon appeared again!
Lin Yan controlled the source code Qing Gang Yin to leave the spring, carrying Doran's Red Sword.
Both sides stood in a defensive position and didn't invade. They just waited for the troops to arrive.
When Lin Yan went online, he found that Xi Ye's positioning was a little aggressive. He obviously wanted to use Jess's long-range strength to take advantage of him.
He turned around and pulled away. Xi Ye chased after him for two steps. Seeing that Lin Yan didn't plan to fight, he wanted to retreat.
But at this moment, Lin Ran turned around and took a step forward.
Xi Ye saw this and quickly stopped. He turned around and launched a cannon form normal attack.
Lin Yan didn't stop and launched W [Tactical Sweep].
Xi Ye's normal attack was like switching to the hammer form to speed up and withdraw from Qing Gang Yin's W range.
But Lin Yan caught Jess's attack. Xi Ye, who had switched to the hammer form, still couldn't withdraw. The outer edge of Tactical Sweep hit easily!
This provided Lin Yan with a good healing effect and slowed down Xi Ye.
This wave of consumption made Lin Yan rich!
Xi Ye snorted and was a little worried.
He didn't play against Qing Gang Yin much. As a professional player, he certainly had some understanding of his skills, but he was far less proficient than the top laners who often used them.
The middle lane was upgraded to level two. Lin Yan pointed E [Hook Rope] and used the nearby wall to make a displacement. At the same time, he threw W [Tactical Sweep]. EWE's combo kicked directly!
At this time, Xi Ye happened to be in the cannon form. He had no time to interrupt Lin Yan. He was stunned by Qing Gang Yin's second kick on the spot.
The outer edge of Tactical Sweep hit again. Lin Yan launched his passive shield with a normal attack. Then, he used A Sword and successfully retreated under Xi Ye's cannon attack.
Xi Ye looked at his HP that was less than half, while Qing Gang Yin still had more than half of his HP. He couldn't help sweating.
His mid laner, Jess, went out with the regular equipment of Long Sword Three Red. This way, he could make the first formed equipment, Dream Spirit, with the fastest efficiency. However, the drawback was that it was not as strong as Doran Sword.
The main thing was that Xi Ye didn't expect Lin Yan to be so familiar with Qing Gang Yin. His combination of blocking and exhausting HP was so smooth. Was this person really playing as a mid laner?
Lin Yan went back to continue eating soldiers, while Xi Ye drank a health potion to restore his status.
"The spider is with me!" Jin Gong shouted in the team voice chat.
Kandy had launched his first wave of attack after the quick three. His target was Jin Gong!
He wanted to take advantage of the time when Kenan was holding the line to do a combo with 957. He wanted to catch Jin Gong with the time difference of level two in the top lane.
However, Kandy didn't expect Jin Gong to be so steady.
He had Kenan at level two with E [Esoteric!
Thunder Armor]!
Brother Xiba activated his acceleration the moment he saw Cocoon in the bushes. He just dodged Kandy's control!
Without a key control, the Desert Spider combo couldn't catch Kenan. They could only give up!
"F * ck!" Kandy could only leave the top lane while cursing.
Jin Gong laughed. Oh, I'm a pig?
You caught me like that in the last game. Do you think I won't be on guard?
In the middle lane, Lin Yan saw that he couldn't catch the spider and knew what to do.
He had taken the lead because of the blood swap just now. At this time, he was the first to level three.
Lin Yan decisively learned Q's [Precise Etiquette]. He first Q the small soldier on the side, and then copied the previous operation again. Hook Rope pulled on the wall, and W's [Tactical Sweep] was cast at the same time.
Qing Gang Yin hung on the wall like a hunter who had entered the hunting state and was ready to start her hunt.
The second stage E [Wall Traverse] kicked at Jesse.
Xi Ye had suffered a loss once. He was already ready. When he saw Lin Yan put Hook Rope on the wall, he had already switched to the hammer form.
As mentioned before, Jesse's hammer form E skill had a high priority. It could interrupt Qing Gang Yin's second stage E in the air. Of course, she would still be stunned.
But this was enough. Once Qing Gang Yin's second stage E was hammered away, it would be Jesse's turn to show his power.
With a set of skills plus Ignite, Qing Gang Yin would be disabled even if she didn't die.
Xi Ye looked at Qing Gang Yin flying towards him with Tactical Sweep, and he was secretly happy.
But when Qing Gang Yin flew into the air, a golden light suddenly flashed!
Qing Gang Yin shuttled through space and came directly in front of him!
Kick Jesse to stun!
Attack speed increased by 40%, and at the same time, Tactical Sweep also successfully hit!
A Pull Up!
After the interval of 1.5 seconds, the additional damage of Qing Gang Yin's second stage Q increased by 100%, and 40% of the output was converted into true damage. It ignored the armor and hit Jesse directly!
Lin Yan's operation was extremely smooth. At the same time, he blocked the front and blocked Xi Ye's way back to the tower!
Xi Ye looked at his HP that was instantly reduced, and he was horrified. He knew that his estimation of Qing Gang Yin's early damage was wrong, so he quickly knocked Lin Yan away with a hammer.
However, Jesse's hammer form E skill had a casting action. In this short casting time, Lin Yan used E's [Wall Traverse] to increase the attack speed effect to cast a normal attack!
At the same time, Ignite was hung up!
Xi Ye flashed to open the distance and drank a health potion at the same time!
However, at Level 2, he only had 625 HP and 34 armor without using Doran's Sword. Previously, he was used by Lin Yan, so even if he drank a health potion, he only had 400 HP.
Lin Yan's set of attacks included two normal attacks and three skills, plus an Ignite. Although Xi Ye drank a health potion, he still couldn't stop the Level 3 Ignite's 110 true damage!
Xi Ye finally fell under the defense tower and gave out a drop of HP!
"What is this?" Doll, who witnessed the whole process of the solo kill, couldn't believe her eyes. "He got a solo kill just like that?"
"This Qing Gang Yin's damage is too exaggerated. It's not a waste at all!" Mille didn't expect this to happen.
[Level 3 solo kill?
Jesse can't beat Qing Gang Yin?]
[Hahahaha, as expected of you, Xila!]
[What do you mean?
Can Xi Ye, who was made by Taser Baton, be promoted to Top 10?]
[Yes, yes, yes, yes!]
The bullet screen began to ridicule wildly.
YM's voice chat was also in a mess.
"Really?"
Phyllostachys Pubescens ate the river crab and said as he walked down, "How much money did you transfer to Xi Ye's Alipay?"
"Brother Ran, are you that exaggerated?" Jack quickly flattered his midlaner. "You're too strong, aren't you?
Brother, I can lie down again! "
Lin Yan smiled and dealt with his teammates. He pushed the mid lane minions into the tower and went back to the city to buy a Doran's Sword and a Long Sword. Then, he bought a True Eye and went online.
Xi Ye didn't have enough money to buy a Long Sword because he didn't eat a Cannon Cart and four minions. He could only buy a Straw Sandal and go online. However, Straw Sandal had almost no bonus in a duel.
The gap in equipment in the mid lane was too big. It was basically impossible to play.
