"I took it?" Liu Qingsong tilted his head and looked at his teammate.
"Can you do it, Lin Weixiang?" Xiao Tian glanced at him.
Lin Weixiang's expression was serious. He didn't look like a fool anymore.
He turned his head and looked at RNG's player seats.
Ouze and Xiao Ming sat there like mountains. Even their movements of adjusting the mouse pad were as steady as peerless experts in Lin Weixiang's eyes.
Lin Weixiang wasn't an arrogant and ignorant newbie.
He had been in the Pro League for a whole year and knew how big the gap was between professional players.
Every year, hundreds of professional players fought in the top leagues of the five regions. In the end, only ten of them could stand in the finals of the global finals.
Ouze and Xiao Ming might not be the best bottom laners in the world, but their results were at the top of the world. They surpassed most of their peers.
Lin Weixiang himself couldn't even touch the edge of the top leagues before this season. The difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
It would be unrealistic to say that he wasn't nervous about playing against them.
Before going to bed yesterday, Lin Weixiang had comforted himself that there was nothing special about the other side. It was just a two-handed game.
However, when it came to the game, his forehead was sweating and his fingers were trembling.
It wasn't because he was scared by Little Boulder Johnson. It was because of his nervousness, excitement, and other emotions that caused his body to react.
A week ago, Lin Weixiang didn't think that his debut in the LPL would be against a top laner combination of a world runner-up and a world champion.
"Choose, there's no time," Lin Yan said when he saw Lin Weixiang staring at the screen.
"Choose, choose, choose." Lin Weixiang came back to his senses and took a deep breath.
Liu Qingsong's mouse pointer was already on the screen. When he heard Lin Weixiang agree, he immediately locked onto the hero.
The noise in the stadium was amplified several times. There were cheers from YM fans and boos from RNG fans!
Let's hunt down those who have fallen into the darkness …
Night Hunter Vayne!
"What's this?"
Doll suddenly raised her voice. "LWX is going to use VN in their first match in the LPL?"
Not only did the live audience react intensely, the live stream exploded with comments!
There were two reasons.
First, it was because VN had not appeared in the game for a long time. Ever since Elemental Dragon appeared, the bottom lane had become more and more focused on lane control. Coupled with the buff from the First Blood Tower, VN, who was weak in lane control and clearing in the early game, was not popular.
The second reason was because the opposing ADC was Ouze.
Although they didn't have VN's champion skin, Ouze's fans did connect VN and Ouze together.
Lin Weixiang's LPL debut was to choose VN opposite Ouze. Many extreme fans of Ouze saw this as a provocation.
[LWX has been installed?]
[Choosing Hammer Stone in front of Xiao Ming and picking up VN in front of Ouze. WDNMD is disgusting, right?]
[Directions to Lin Weixiang's Weibo — Xiang Xiang QAQ, let's rush him!]
However, YM's fans were not to be trifled with. With their large numbers, they quickly retaliated on the bullet screen and various social media platforms.
[What?
Do we really have to write an application for Ouze to use VN?]
[So what if he used it? What can you do?
Piglet didn't say he couldn't use it!]
[You can't judge a book by its cover. How can a silly chubby bro like LWX do such a thing?]
[But is it really okay to choose VN?
I'm afraid the bottom lane is going to explode.]
Ouze, who was sitting on the other side, also widened his eyes when he saw Lin Weixiang's hero choice.
Ice, Verus, EZ, Policewoman, Ember, and Lucian that could be used in this version of the game were either banned or robbed.
Ouze could imagine the opposing team's choices. One was to pair it with Hammer Stone's skateboard shoes, and the other was to pick Chiwil, who was good at lane clearing.
However, he didn't expect Lin Weixiang to choose VN!
He, who was proficient in VN, knew that this hero was now a sewer. It couldn't develop smoothly against a long lane composition!
Lin Weixiang dared to choose that?
Doll in the commentator's seat confirmed the news from the director's headset and said.
"The last time VN appeared in the top league was last June!"
Mille shook his head. He wasn't very optimistic about YM's lineup. "How can this bottom lane fight EZ + Ella? The minions will definitely be pushed to death. When the time comes, a short-handed hero like VN won't even have room to develop."
The lineups of both sides were confirmed.
Blue RNG: Top Lane Big Tree, Jungler Blind Monk, Mid Lane Karma, Bottom Lane EZ + Ella.
Red YM: Top Lane Wine Barrel, Jungler Spider, Mid Lane Jayce, Bottom Lane VN + Hammer Stone.
White Crescent saw that the lineup was formed and finally felt relieved.
He had been studying this BP idea for a few days and felt that this lineup was very feasible in the current version.
"Is it okay?" He asked before taking off his headset.
Lin Yan made a gesture to reassure him.
White Crescent went to shake hands with Brother Feng.
The two had worked together in LGD before and had a good relationship with each other. At this time, they walked off the stage hand in hand like primary school students.
"You guys really dare to choose VN?" Brother Feng was a little doubtful.
"You'll find out later." White Crescent deliberately didn't say anything to disgust him.
The two teams with the most fans in the LPL region clashed. Amidst the crazy cheers of the audience, Summoner's Canyon appeared on the big screen in the stadium!
"RNG's first-tier lineup is very strong. They want to invade!"
Doll didn't find it strange. The first-tier RNG Big Tree only needed to flash and bind one person, and the team members behind him would cover the damage control to take one life.
Lin Yan was obviously prepared in advance. When he saw RNG invading, he immediately retreated and urged Lin Weixiang to give up the blue zone.
"I'm going to use three buffs, cover me!" Spicy Saucepan saw Lin Yan and Lin Weixiang retreating and immediately wanted to take advantage of YM.
"Return to the city, return to the city!"
Lin Yan confirmed that he and Lin Weixiang had just been exposed to RNG's vision and immediately began to give out orders.
"Just play like this. Believe in us and believe in yourself. You can win." Lin Yan noticed that Lin Weixiang was a little nervous and quickly encouraged him.
Lin Weixiang licked his lips and nodded vigorously.
1 minute and 05 seconds later, he stood under the second tower and successfully returned to the city.
"What is YM doing?" Doll leaned forward and supported his glasses, trying to see the minimap on the screen.
In the OB view of the minimap, YM's signals were ringing crazily. Lin Weixiang's VN was rushing from the fountain to the top lane alone!
"Change lanes, they want to change lanes!" Mille reacted quickly. "They want to avoid RNG's bottom lane and fatten their VN!"
"This strategy has been extinct since last summer's Summer League!
The reduction of the defense of the bottom lane's tower and the emergence of Elemental Dragon and Blood Tower has eliminated this strategy! "
As soon as Mille finished speaking, he saw YM's formation change again!
"Ran's Jess and Liu Qingsong's Hammer Stone are running to the bottom lane, while Jin Gong's Wine Barrel is guarding the middle lane alone!" Mille was about to faint from YM's switch.
"RNG is still trying to help Saucepan recover their blue. Without any scouts, they won't notice anything strange at all!"
The live audience could not help but exclaim and praise when they saw this scene!
The audience did not expect YM to start playing in the first small game of the game. Other than the support Liu Qingsong and the jungler Xiao Tian, the other three players had changed positions!
Brother Feng, who was watching the live broadcast in the RNG lounge, sighed. He knew that he had been tricked by White Crescent.
This game was going to be difficult.
When the Big Tree of letme appeared in YM's vision, Lin Weixiang came online with his crossbow on his back.
Lin Yan and Liu Qingsong also appeared in the bottom lane. Ouze finally reacted.
"They've switched lines!" letme quickly signaled. "Should we switch lines?"
He could not even replenish his soldiers now. Originally, letme thought that he was facing Wine Barrel and learned Q's [Arcane Heavy Strike] at level one.
Now that VN was closing in, he could not gain any experience.
As one of the team's commanders, Ouze was in a painful situation.
If he forcefully grabbed and switched lines, Ouze would not be able to suppress VN by much with EZ alone. He had to bring support Ella with him. This way, he could suppress VN, but the bottom lane's First Blood Tower and Little Dragon might not be able to get it.
And if he did not switch lines, letme would be very uncomfortable. The Big Tree had no advantage at all, not to mention that VN still had a percentage of true damage.
"Saucepan, pay attention to me. When we push down the bottom lane tower, we'll switch lines after eating Little Dragon!" For the sake of this First Blood Tower and Little Dragon, Ouze decided to stay in the bottom lane.
Letme responded in a muffled voice, but he obviously did not look very happy.
Very few people liked to be the one who was sacrificed by the team.
Letme had just been promoted from the second team RYL to LPL. In the secondary league, he often played resource-eating heroes like Rambo and Kenji. But as soon as he came to LPL, he had to play blue-collar tank. He applied for a few loss-type heroes from Brother Feng.
As a result, letme naturally could not accept this sense of disparity.
He originally did not want to choose Big Tree in this game. It was good enough that the blue team did not ban Qing Gang Ying. Why did you ban him?
But now the situation was stronger than the person, and letme had to resist the pressure.
"YM's strategy of switching lines is very successful!" Doll looked at the OB perspective with some excitement.
"Although Jesse and Hammer Stone are suppressed in the bottom lane, Jesse's Q [Electric Surge] can also make up for the minions. The disadvantage is within the acceptable range, and Wine Barrel in the middle lane is now doing very well!"
"When Jin Gong's Doran Ring comes out, Xiao Hu's Karma can't suppress him at all!"
"YM made their three lanes extremely comfortable by switching lines!"
At this time, Xiao Tian finished eating his own red buff and went straight to the top half of the blue team's RNG.
He wanted to use Lin Weixiang's lane pushing advantage in the top lane to get back the blue buff that Spicy Saucepan had stolen!
Spicy Saucepan also knew that he could not go to the top lane now. He forced Big Tree to come over for a 2v2. If he could not get a kill advantage, Big Tree's minions would definitely explode.
There was no other way. Spicy Saucepan could only eat all the monsters in the bottom half of Xiao Tian's zone and then return to the bottom half of his zone to continue farming.
This could also cover Ouze to the greatest extent.
"Xiao Tian has finished eating the Magical Swamp Frog and reached level 3. He's going to the top lane letme!" Mille looked at the movements of Phyllostachys Pubescens on the screen and suddenly raised the volume of his voice.
"VN brought a large wave of Artillery Soldiers into the tower at this time. letme is only level 2, and YM's two people have already reached level 3. He's in danger under the tower!"
This was the reason why White Crescent gave Xiao Tian the Spider. The solo lane in Hero's Military Training was disgusting. He wanted Xiao Tian to cooperate with Lin Weixiang and break letme's mentality.
Left alone at the foot of the tower, letme did not know what to do.
Xiao Tian threw out his human form W outside the tower. The Self-Destructing Spider went straight for the Big Tree under the tower.
Letme's distance was very awkward. W's [Twisted Stab] was only 525 yards. The distance was not enough. He could only watch as the Self-Destructing Spider crawled over and blasted his health bar down.
Phyllostachys Pubescens did not do anything fancy. He threw Cocoon from a distance.
Letme wanted to move and twist at first, but he realized that Xiao Tian's Cocoon was very accurate. He could not twist it at all!
Spider was one of Xiao Tian's proudest heroes. He was very familiar with it. His Cocoon had some predictive movement characteristics. It was very difficult to dodge it without using displacement skills!
Letme knew that as long as he was controlled, the next thing he would be greeted by would be VN's Heavy Crossbow E [Devil's Judgement]. With the combination of the two crowd-control skills, there was no way he could survive.
He could only use Flash to dodge the Cocoon. However, the moment he used Flash, VN rolled forward and shot the Big Tree's body with an arrow.
Letme was overjoyed. VN had entered the range of W's [Twisted Stab] in order to shoot him with a normal attack. letme made a prompt decision to bind it!
"Lin Weixiang, use Flash. Leave the tower with the Big Tree and rush to Xiao Tian!"
Letme could only watch as he was brought to the wall by VN who used Flash!
The Heavy Crossbow was ready. VN's huge arrow nailed the Big Tree to the wall!
"Spider and VN's damage output is sufficient. The level two Big Tree can't withstand it at all. LWX took the first hit!" Doll's emotions were stirred up by YM's strange strand change.
LWX received 400 credits for the first hit. Then, he and Xiao Tian split the next wave of minions and went back to the city to replenish Extraction and Attack Speed Dagger.
"Good job, Gao Tianliang!" He praised from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Tian snorted twice and ran to farm the River Crab.
At the same time, the bottom lane.
Ouze pushed the minions to the front of Lin Yan's tower. He was still unscrupulously using skills to deplete them.
He was very smart. He always waited for Lin Yan to finish off the minions and raised his hand to fire a [Secret Shot].
Lin Yan was annoyed because of his slow movement when finishing off the minions. Ouze used up two of his Q's.
"Liu Qingsong, can you try to hook a wave?" Lin Yan asked. "Just kill Ella."
"But Blind Monk …" Liu Qingsong hesitated. He didn't see the Spicy Saucepan's movement in his field of vision.
"He's definitely stealing the little dragon now," Lin Yan was very sure. "I'll clear the plants in front of Ella. You just need to hook him directly. If you hook him, he'll die."
If you hook him, he'll die.
Just four words, but it brought a lot of pressure to Liu Qingsong.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, his eyes narrowed, and his fingers were slightly arched, ready to hook at any time.
Lin Yan killed the minions with a normal attack. When he reached level 3, he learned W [Super Charge] and used it directly.
Liu Qingsong stared at the plant's HP summoned by Ella in front of him. At the moment when Lin Yan attacked with a high attack speed, he threw out the chain.
Lil 'Ming did not expect Lin Ran and Liu Qingsong to make their move. Since Lin Ran had learned W in seconds and increased his Attack Speed, Jess's speed in clearing the plants was far faster than he had imagined.
At the moment when Jesse attacked and ate the plant, Hammer Stone's green chain passed through the plant's corpse and came to Xiao Ming like a maggot!
His reaction was slow for a moment.
There was a squeaking sound, and the chain successfully hooked Ella!
Liu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Without Lin Yan's urging, Liu Qingsong directly put on Ignite, threw a lantern to Lin Yan, and then triggered the second Q to follow up!
Ouze gave a heal to Xiao Ming, and Lin Yan took advantage of the time when Xiao Ming was hooked to fire decisively, wanting to cripple Ella.
UZI finally showed his extraordinary side.
Azrael used the E skill to jump in front of Ella, and he helped Xiao Ming block the cannon with nearly full HP!
"UZI is very detailed. First, help Xiao Ming to resist the damage and see if there is a chance to escape …" Mille spoke faster, explaining the sudden outbreak of the battle to the audience.
"Xiao Ming was followed by Hammer Stone. He handed over Flash and wanted to retreat, but Pinus Flash caught up with the Pendulum of Misfortune and brushed him back!"
Lin Yan just lit the lantern and flew behind Liu Qingsong. How could Ella, who was slowed down without Flash, escape from Jesse's pursuit?
He switched to his hammer form and mercilessly smashed down with a Vault of the Heavens. Coupled with the two small skills of W and E, even if the enhanced cannon was blocked by the Uzi, the damage was still enough to directly behead the brittle Jie La!
"Do you want to continue to kill?
I can follow! "Liu Qingsong stared at EZ again.
Because he had just moved a long distance with Ella, and Lin Yan had lit the lantern, the two of them were now behind Ouze.
Azrael, who had just handed over the E [Mathematical Leap], had no combat ability. The two of them could still catch up if they wanted to. After all, Lin Yan still had Ignite Flash on him.
"Retreat, retreat, retreat!" Lin Yan didn't want to chase anymore. "The Blind Monk will definitely come!"
Liu Qingsong was very obedient. He brushed past Ouze, and both of them were at peace.
"You played very well, Liu Qingsong!" Lin Yan now replaced Jack's role in the team and was responsible for praising his teammates.
Lin Yan knew that the duo had just entered the LPL and would definitely be nervous. He could accept it as long as they didn't do anything.
Liu Qingsong's hook was already considered to have exceeded the task.
"This is my unique hero." Liu Qingsong laughed, easing the tension in his heart.
The Spicy Saucepan originally wanted to eat the little dragon while the spiders went up, but the battle at the bottom lane happened too suddenly. Before he could pull the aggro of the little dragon, Xiao Ming was already dead.
"The Saucepan stopped rushing to the bottom lane and went back to continue farming this fire dragon!
This is the only thing they can catch in the early stage! "
"The fire dragon is taken, but the RNG economy is nearly 1K behind!
It's only been four minutes! "
When Doll saw the lineups of both sides, he didn't expect YM to use such a strange move. "YM relied on their successful strategy to roll the economic ball!"
"RNG still doesn't want to change lanes. They have to push this blood tower to make up for their economy!" Mille watched as Ella and Xiao Ming continued to walk down the bottom lane.
"Jin Gong, are you comfortable?" Lin Yan went back to the city to buy two longswords and walked up the lane.
"I'm so comfortable. Wine Barrel is so fun!" Jin Gong let out a chilling laugh.
He was now playing like an AP Wine Barrel. First, he was the main tank, and then he used the buff from the Doran Ring to clear the minions.
The little tigerman was about to go crazy.
He didn't expect the opponent to be better than him. Jin Gong had been staying behind the minions and didn't change lanes with him.
After Xiao Ming died once, he became more careful. However, his speed of pushing the tower slowed down a lot.
However, because the defense towers on the top lane had resistance in the first five minutes, Lin Weixiang couldn't take down a tower first.
At 9 minutes and 30 seconds, Spicy Saucepan ran to the bottom lane to threaten them. Lin Yan and Liu Qingsong decisively abandoned defense.
"The first blood tower was taken down, but RNG's economy is still behind!
The extra 300 gold coins reward from the first blood tower is not enough to help them make up for the economic gap caused by the two kills and the Big Tree being suppressed. "
However, the time to push the tower was carefully calculated by Saucepan.
The Elemental Dragon respawned every six minutes, and the last dragon was taken down in less than four minutes. As a result, when the second dragon respawned, the bottom lane tower was taken down.
Spicy Saucepan could cooperate with the bottom lane team to take down the dragon and then launch an attack.
At this point, the rhythm of the game gradually transitioned to the middle.
Both sides began to develop normally.
However, Lin Weixiang, who was happily farming in the top lane, returned to the city and was almost done with the Infinity Blade. As VN had previously changed the additional attack bonus of Q skills and enjoyed the critical hit bonus, VN's mainstream equipment was basically the Infinity Lightning Blade.
Previously, Jin Gong in the middle lane was suppressed by Xiao Hu by 10 hits, but it wasn't a big deal.
Although Lin Yan in the bottom lane lost a blood tower, his economy was almost no worse than Ouze's.
Xiao Tian's economy was slightly better than Saucepan's, and he was half a level ahead of Saucepan. In order to control the two dragons, Xiao Tian wasted a lot of time farming.
On the other hand, RNG's letme Big Tree was suppressed by VN. Xiao Tian also came to military training from time to time. He only dealt 38 hits in 10 minutes. His economy was terrible and was on the verge of collapse.
Mille obviously also saw the difference.
"YM's lane change operation is good," he said. "This way, they completely resolved the early laning disadvantage of VN + Hammer Stone!"
"Yes, if they develop steadily to the middle, YM's lineup will be stronger than RNG's!"
YM's early lane change operation was an eye-opener for many players.
[Isn't this lane change too cool?
Are they treating RNG like fools?]
[Hahahaha, now do you understand why LWX chose VN?
They didn't plan to play against you!]
[You can still fall behind in economy after taking down a blood tower. You're really something, RNG!]
Lin Yan returned to the city and made Serene Dream, commanding his teammates to decisively push forward.
Although the armor was weakened, it still couldn't change Jayce's strength in the early and middle stages.
RNG finally discovered their biggest hidden danger — after the collapse of the Big Tree, they had no frontline.
Now that Jayce's cannon came down, no one could withstand it. Xiao Hu's Karma was already trying his best to cast a shield to resist the damage, but it still didn't have much of an effect — Karma's level hadn't increased, and the shield value of his E skill wasn't as high as expected.
After Lin Weixiang made the Endless Attack Shoes, he wasn't afraid of anyone from RNG.
The critical hit VN entered the battle much earlier. One Endless Attack was enough to fight, and with the addition of the Electric Knife, no one could block it.
They couldn't win the fight, and their vision in the jungle was completely controlled by YM.
Jin Gong's Wine Barrel came into play. In the early 20 minutes, he used Meat Egg and Onion Chicken + Flash in the shadows, directly activating Xiao Ming, and the big move blew up RNG's formation.
Lin Weixiang and Lin Yan both began to harvest the battlefield.
"This VN's damage output in a team battle is too explosive!
No one can withstand his three-circle damage with Q critical hits! "
Amidst the shouts of the commentator, Lin Weixiang controlled VN to cut down a double kill, then caught Liu Qingsong's lantern and continued to chase forward!
Rolling forward, VN with the Electric Knife's passive critical hit killed the Big Tree!
"A triple kill VN!
Lin Weixiang's damage output is very good! "Mille was very excited." YM will push down the middle high ground in one wave and go back to eat the Dragon! "
Once Baron Nash fell, RNG couldn't defend against YM's tidal wave of attacks.
Jin Gong's Wine Barrel started the team again. This time, he didn't flash, but he just needed to blow up RNG's team battle formation.
Liu Qingsong's Hammer Stone flashed back, and first pulled the Big Tree back.
At 23 minutes, only the Sun Flame + Cloth Armor + Big Belt's letme was as fragile as a piece of paper, and died on the spot after being focused on by YM for two seconds!
YM didn't let it go, and with a spurt of energy, they directly dismantled RNG's front tower!
Spicy Saucepan used Eye Touching Flash to kick out a big wave, and Xiao Ming and Ouze's damage output followed in time.
But it was useless, the equipment disadvantage was too great. YM was left with three people on low HP, and they finished the battle!
