"Congratulations to YM, 1: 0!"
White Crescent, who was sitting in the lounge, watched Lin Weixiang demolish the base with a gratified smile.
He had pondered over this strategy for a long time.
The idea for the strategy came from the changes in the previous version.
The bounty for First Blood Tower was reduced from 400 gold to 300 gold.
Although it was only 100 gold, it was not a small amount in the professional arena.
When White Crescent saw the changes, he knew that Fist would definitely target YM's 4-carry strategy. He had to prepare as soon as possible, or it would be too late to change it when Fist swung his blade.
All teams and players had to actively adapt to the new version, not let the new version adapt to them. Playing blind for a lifetime was a bad professional attitude, and it could not be washed away.
This strategy was his attempt to see if YM could find a suitable rhythm when they gave up on protecting the bottom lane.
It seemed to be working well.
…
Ouze shook his head, picked up the paper cup, and walked back to the lounge.
This year, RNG had poached the opposing champion support, and Spicy Saucepan's strength had improved a lot. Why were they still unable to fight back against YM?
"The damage panel is out …" Doll on the commentary platform said subconsciously.
He and Mille looked over at the same time.
[1,296 Damage?
What is this Big Tree playing at?]
[Hahahaha, lower damage than Hammer Stone. I'm laughing.]
[Noob, can you retire on the spot?
Don't mess with my dog.]
The moment they saw the Big Tree's damage, the public opinion on the Internet exploded.
Ever since Child's Wandering God's 443, Kakao's 888, and Factory Director's 4396, the LPL audience was very sensitive to damage numbers. In the last game, the top laner Big Tree's damage was 3,000 lower than Hammer Stone's support Liu Qingsong!
Who could tolerate this?
Nowadays, RNG fans were not used to letme. They felt that if they did not want a top laner, a looper would be good enough. If they wanted a top laner, there were other top laners to choose from.
Why should letme, who had no skill and no results, come?
The person in question was very unhappy.
But there was nothing he could do.
Xiao Hu and Spicy Saucepan were the LPL Spring Season champions and one of the Top 4 in the S Season. Ouze was the two runners-up in the S Season, and Xiao Ming was the champion of the S Season.
In terms of results and strength, the four people in the team had a higher status than him.
In the previous game, his Big Tree did not receive any help from his teammates. Saucepan stayed in the bottom half of the map in order to control Little Dragon and Blood Tower in the bottom lane.
He didn't dare to casually throw out his E [Sapling Toss] to deplete Lin Weixiang's health.
This was because the AOE explosion of the sapling would cause an irreversible thrusting effect.
It was already hard for a short hand to finish off a long hand. If the army line was pushed out, he would not be able to play anymore.
After 10 minutes, he was finally able to switch lanes. However, he was no longer able to fight against the normally developing Jin Gong.
In the end, he only had one and a half pieces of equipment left. If he were to be focused on by VN and the others for two seconds, he would die. Half of his 1200 damage was due to the Solar Flare.
"The MVP of the game goes to Lin Weixiang!
Data of 713, 27% of the data ratio, the economic gap is 1900! "
Lin Weixiang's face appeared on the big screen in the stadium. He raised one of his thick eyebrows and pointed his right hand forward in a pistol pose.
Lin Weixiang's actions, which were originally a little cool, looked simple and honest on the chubby Lin Weixiang.
[Why did you choose VN before the game?
Come out and continue shouting.]
[Is this the AD of the City Hero Tournament?
He won the MVP against Ouze in his LPL debut. I want to laugh.]
[YM could have just picked two rookies to play RNG. Don't let RNG be the S6 champion.]
"Not bad. Keep up the good work in the next game." In YM's lounge, Lin Yan encouraged the duo in the bottom lane.
Lin Weixiang had a great time killing in this game. His stats were quite impressive.
After this game, Lin Weixiang was no longer afraid. His hands were no longer trembling. He felt that he could do it again.
The team gave him resources to support him. Was victory so easy?
Lin Weixiang took the water from White Crescent and raised his eyebrows excitedly.
Liu Qingsong had wanted to laugh after winning the game, but when he saw the camera equipment in the hands of the team's cameraman, his expression changed instantly. His expression instantly turned cold.
"Everyone, remember the next game …" White Crescent continued to instill tactics into the team.
Knight sat on the side and listened quietly.
His thin and extremely flexible legs were twisted into a fried dough twist. His posture looked even more ridiculous than the female hosts.
…
"Welcome back to the 2017 LPL Spring Season live broadcast …"
"In the last game, YM showed us their superb lane swapping skills. They showed us that even in this version, we can still rely on lane swapping to ensure the development of the bottom lane!" Mille was very excited.
YM's lane swapping strategy in the last game made his eyes light up.
Unlike the simple lane swapping of the past, where the duo swapped to the top lane and the top lane hero developed with the jungler, YM perfectly used the advantages and disadvantages of the heroes and the execution of the team members to make up for the strength of the three lanes. The final result was completely acceptable.
As a pure LPL fan, Mille had watched YM walk up the altar step by step since the LSPL finals. He understood that YM was like a shark diving into a school of fish to the poor and weak LPL.
The overall strength of the top teams in the competition zone would be greatly improved. This time, YM's lane swapping strategy would definitely cause another wave in the competition zone. This was definitely a good thing.
"For this game, RNG will choose the red side. YM will ban them first!"
YM still banned Pekingese. Even if this hero was weakened in this version, it could still dominate the jungle. It was a very big variable.
RNG chose to ban Enchantress from the red side first.
"Let's ban Verus first and see what the other side says." White Crescent was also a little worried.
It was not because there were not enough bans, but because the opponent had too many heroes to ban from the red side. It was also difficult for him to choose.
It was not easy to carry all the geniuses under him!
White Crescent let out a heavy sigh.
Why couldn't the team members be more mediocre?
Now that they had banned so many heroes, if they released all the strong heroes at once, wouldn't it be difficult for White Crescent?
White Crescent saw that the second ban spot was given to Blind Monk and suddenly became alert.
Based on his understanding of Brother Feng, it was very likely that RNG would release all the strong heroes and let everyone pick a few. This was considered fair.
"Ban Sindra!" White Crescent did not think much and directly said.
Without Enchantress, the only T1 mid laners outside were Lucian and Sindra. Although Lucian had been weakened a little before, his mechanics were not changed and his strength was still there.
White Crescent's thinking was very simple. If he banned Sindra, RNG, who was on the red side, would ban Lucian.
He felt that if Lin Yan got Lucian, Xiao Hu would not be able to defend against it with his strength.
However, White Crescent did not bring LGD to play S5. He did not expect Brother Feng to have joined Glorious Evolution when he was the temporary coach of S5.
In his book, there were no heroes that could not be played.
As long as the player felt that they could deal with it, whether it was Steel Dude or Gario, he would give them to you.
They banned Qing Gang Yin.
"RNG chose to release Lucian." Doll was very surprised by RNG's BP. "Will YM choose this hero?"
"Are we going to take Ice or Lucian?" Xiao Tian turned around and asked.
These two heroes were the T1 choices for the two C positions.
Brother Feng was also very smart.
He knew that YM wanted to use the advantages of the blue side to pressure RNG, but he did not fall for it.
Anyway, Xiao Hu said that he could play Lucian, and Brother Feng felt that he could play.
After banning Qing Gang Yin, YM and RNG each took a T1 choice for a position. No one was at a disadvantage.
"YM chose Lucian after hesitating for a while!
If nothing unexpected happens, this hero will be taken by Ran! "
RNG did not hesitate to lock Ice first.
Then Brother Feng took Hammer Stone for Xiao Ming!
Liu Qingsong moved his body uneasily. His signature hero was gone.
"How about Callista + Alista?"
White Crescent had their hero pool records and knew that both Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong could use these two heroes.
"Okay, take it." Liu Qingsong did not have a better choice.
He was not good at soft support. Liu Qingsong did not dare to take the bot that countered Hammer Stone. Once this hero was empty, it would be useless during the cooldown period of the skill.
"Double Alista!"
Mille was not surprised by this choice. "This duo's jungling ability after reaching 6 is quite strong!"
RNG took Spider for Spicy Saucepan in the end.
The bottom lane combination of both sides had been chosen. White Crescent sent Shen and Big Tree to the ban position in the second round, obviously to target letme.
On the other hand, RNG banned Kenan and Wine Barrel.
"RNG's choice is very smart!" Mille reacted very quickly and explained to the audience.
"Now YM has confirmed the double C of Skater and Lucian, and the support is still Bull's Head. This lineup is very lacking in AP damage!
Kenan and Wine Barrel are all banned. What will YM do? "
In the second round of selection, Brother Feng first took Titan for letme and continued to play.
Xiao Tian was very hesitant.
Spider had been chosen by RNG in the first round, and the only regular AP jungler outside was Panther Lady.
However, this hero's team battle output was very unstable, and Xiao Tian's Panther Lady had always had a strange smell. This was obviously not a good choice.
"How about Lambo's jungler?" Lin Yan suddenly suggested.
"Don't be so disgusting." Phyllostachys Pubescens had a look of panic.
Ever since Lin Yan moved Lambo to the mid lane, more and more players began to think about whether Lambo could be used in other positions.
The top lane was too long, and Lambo's hero didn't have crowd control and it wasn't easy to control the lane. Once the opponent controlled the lane or the tower, there was no way to counterattack.
However, it seemed feasible to appear in the jungler position.
Lambo's farming efficiency wasn't slow, especially after the version corrected Q's Pyromaniac's damage to the jungle.
Although there was a possibility of being countered, it was better than staying in the top lane and being frequently trained by the tower.
Lambo's jungler was born.
However, this hero's performance in the field was not satisfactory. This season, only Spicy Saucepan had used it in two small games and lost them both.
"You don't have a choice, Phyllostachys Pubescens." Lin Yan laughed. "How about I give you a 'leading version' of Death Song's jungler?"
"If I play Mountain Mud Ruo, you guys will have to retire after the Spring League!" Xiao Tian said fiercely.
"Lambo." White Crescent patted Xiao Tian's head. "Jin Gong, what do you want to use?"
"Captain, I'll use Captain." Jin Gong's Mandarin was a little strange.
White Crescent thought for a moment. Captain's development wasn't a problem for him to play Titan, but she was afraid that Saucepan would be trained in the top lane.
"Trust me, you won't get caught!" Jin Gong was very confident.
The two commentators were still discussing whether Lambo, who had been taken out by YM, would go jungler or top lane. In the end, Captain's move completely killed the suspense.
"There's a problem. YM's top, middle, and junglers have a lot of damage, but they lack crowd control." Mille frowned. "If they fight a small team battle, it's fine if they have big moves, but if they don't, they can only watch the opponent run."
"Let's take a look at RNG's last move." Doll changed the topic. "What will Xiao Hu choose to fight against Ran's Lucian …"
In the RNG players' seats, Xiao Hu nodded vigorously and gestured to Brother Feng to rest assured. Spring's Squandering was full of confidence with his goggles on.
A hero appeared in RNG's selection box.
He wore silver armor and held silver blades in his hands. A pair of scarlet eyes looked through the silver mask to intimidate the enemy's soul.
Master of Shadow Stream, Tribulation!
"Do you really want to choose?" As soon as Doll's voice fell, RNG locked the box!
He raised his voice. "Xiao Hu wants to use an assassin to fight against Ran head-on!"
The audience also burst into cheers.
Who wanted to see the mid lane heroes fight against each other?
Naturally, the more bloody it was, the better. The audience couldn't wait for both sides to choose an assassin to fight in the mid lane!
[It's coming, it's coming in!]
[Hohoho, there's going to be a lot to watch in the mid lane.]
[After reaching 6, if Tribulation isn't Fate, then he'll kill Lucian?
Ran won't be able to win this game!]
"The mid lane matchup depends on whether Ran can gain an advantage before level 6. Once Tribulation is strong, it'll be easier to deal with Lucian," Mille analyzed.
The lineups of both sides were confirmed.
Blue YM: Top Captain, Jungler Rambo, Mid Lane Lucian, Bottom Lane Skater, and Bull's Head Chieftain.
Red RNG: Top Lane Titan, Jungler Spider, Mid Lane Tribulation, Bottom Lane Ice, and Hammer Stone.
Lin Yan had an impression of Xiao Hu's Tribulation. It was quite noob.
In last year's MSI group stage, RNG guaranteed to enter the knockout round in first place. Lin Yan witnessed Xiao Hu's Tribulation at the scene. In the end, CLG made a comeback with a twenty thousand economy.
But he wouldn't let his guard down.
Lin Yan frowned. Looking at the lineups of both sides, he felt uneasy.
He decisively changed Ignite to Weakness.
He originally wanted to change Flash to Barrier, but later felt that it was too much.
Both sides entered Summoner's Canyon.
"RNG is grouping up to invade." Mille looked at the movements of both sides on the small map. "They're going to set up vision behind YM's second tower to prevent YM from continuing to switch lanes!"
"This vision hasn't been used in a long time." Doll was a little emotional. "Since the update last summer, no one has used this vision anymore."
But in this game, YM didn't want to switch lanes. RNG's vision successfully detected Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang's position. Ouze was finally relieved.
If he could guarantee a match with the top lane, he would let the opponent's bottom lane know why the flowers were so red!
"I'll go red. Pay attention to your positioning when you're bottom lane for two minutes and forty seconds. Spider might catch you." Xiao Tian decided to go red for blue. Level 3 to protect Jin Gong in the top lane.
After all, the combination of Minotaur and Skateboard Shoes at the bottom lane was harder to kill. Moreover, Little Ming had used Hammerstone. He, as a Rambo, would not be able to catch any RNG in the early game.
Lin Yan played very fiercely after he came online.
As soon as he came online, he began to block the minions and deplete Xiao Hu.
Tribulation didn't have much combat ability before Level 3. Xiao Hu could only retreat after being shot twice.
Lin Yan pushed the minions forward little by little.
As long as the number of minions was enough, Tribulation didn't dare to send his shadow forward to fight. The damage of minions in the early game was higher than that of heroes.
Saucepan came to the bottom lane when it was Level 3.
Although Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong retreated immediately, Xiao Ming still managed to switch to two flashes.
"What's going on, brother?"
Xiao Tian's Rambo was a little slower than Spider in the early game. At this time, he was still farming his Magical Swamp Frog at Level 3.
He didn't expect that the bottom lane would still be hit with two flashes even after the warning at the beginning of the game.
"Tsk …" Liu Qingsong was a little unhappy under the tower. "Mine, mine. I made this line for you at that time."
Since Xiao Hu had been hiding under the tower, Lin Yan switched the screen to observe his teammates from time to time.
He knew the reason why the bottom lane was still caught with a flash. YM's minions in the bottom lane were pushed quite far ahead and had long passed the river.
At this time, RNG had another wave of bottom lane to make up for it. If Lin Weixiang didn't push this wave of minions forward, it would be a loss for nothing.
Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong could only force the bottom lane under the pressure of being ganked.
However, Spicy Saucepan arrived just in time. Spider's Cocoon forced out a flash. Xiao Ming's Misfortune Pendulum forced out a flash.
That kind of minions could be made when the opponent's jungler caught the bottom lane. It was obviously because their bottom lane was too young and had poor control of the minions.
The four people in the bottom lane fought in front of Spider's gank.
When Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong used their skills, they accidentally pushed the minions, causing the number of minions in the bottom lane to lose balance. The minions naturally moved in the direction of RNG.
This was the difference in the details. Lin Yan was sure that Xiao Ming and Ouze had purposely put the minions together.
Ice + Hammer Stone. Lin Yan didn't believe that it wouldn't affect the minions if they didn't deliberately control the minions.
"Steady, steady. Wait for me to kill a wave before we go to the bottom lane," Xiao Tian said.
He originally only wanted to kill in the top half of the jungle. After all, the captain of the top lane was fighting Titan. If Jin Gong used a bucket to clear the minions, he could also maintain the balance of the minions with Titan.
As for the mid lane, needless to say, Lucian would definitely have the lane control in the early game.
In a situation where the mid and top lanes didn't have the lane control, Spicy Saucepan wouldn't rashly invade the top half of the jungle with Spider. This was because once it was surrounded, it would be a dead end.
Only LGD Noh Sei would forcefully invade against the lane control. Spicy Saucepan was a brute, not a fool. There was nothing wrong with its brain.
Xiao Hu used Doran's Shield to hide in the middle lane. The purpose was to keep his HP healthy and wait until 6 before coming out.
Thus, even though Lin Yan suppressed him 10 times, Xiao Hu's HP was still above half, and he successfully rose to level 6 in six minutes.
He decisively used [Forbidden Ultimate!
Instant Hell Shadow Killing Array] close to Lin Yan's body and activated it at the same time.
Lin Yan used Slide Step to pull to the side. Normally, Lucian wouldn't choose to directly retreat when facing Tribulation who used an R. That way, it would be easy to get hit by RWQE's Triple Dart Shuriken.
Xiao Hu went forward and used Fist Blade to attack. Lin Yan used Weaken to be safe.
Tribulation used a set of small burst attacks, and Lin Yan moved sideways to avoid a Shuriken.
He couldn't avoid the Shurikens from the two shadows, but with Weaken on him, Tribulation's burst attack was avoided a lot.
Little Tiger looked at Lucian who had only 13 HP left and went back to the frontline contentedly. He wanted to use Lin Ran's Enfeeble in this wave of attacks. Once the cooldown of Lin Ran's Enfeeble was completed, he would be able to take advantage of the cooldown of Lin Ran's Enfeeble and kill him directly!
Lin Yan looked at his and Xiao Hu's HP, and decisively used [Holy Lance Baptism] to forcefully clear the minions and cripple Xiao Hu at the same time.
As a result, the two in the middle lane were afraid of being killed by the jungler, so they could only return to the city!
Lin Yan used a total of 14 HP, including two Cannon Launchers, which was not much less than the price of a kill.
Xiao Hu happily replenished two Longswords, Eye of the Truth, and Health Potions. He went back to the game and planned his solo kill along the way.
Then, he saw Lin Yan's equipment when he went online.
"F * ck!" The account holder was exasperated. He clicked on Lucian's equipment with his left mouse button.
"Wow, Ran's equipment?" Doll could not help but exclaim, "Isn't it too stable?"
Lucian's equipment was quite balanced.
Double Doran, double Cloth Armor.
At Level 6, Lucian had a base HP of 911 and 40 Armor. Double Doran added 160 HP, double Cloth Armor added 30 Armor.
Now, Lin Yan's HP was close to 1,100, and his Armor was as high as 70!
It was meat!
Tribulation's Longswords were not a threat at all in front of this equipment!
"Oh, you're not going to kill me, are you?" Lin Yan said in the team voice chat.
Xiao Hu was furious.
Isn't this disgusting?
Double Doran, double Cloth Armor, who's the one between us?
[I'm going to vomit!
This Lucian's equipment is top-notch!]
[He's really messing with people's minds. The account holder is in trouble now!]
[If you're so good, come out with your DPS equipment. Let's fight fair and square!]
[Why should he come out with his DPS?
It's not like he's using a BUG. Ran's blue shield is his own business. If you're so good, kill him. If you're not, don't shout!]
