Everyone in YM had turned into gluttons that night.
Not only was the food delicious, but there was also another national level chef present.
On Lin Yan's phone screen, the chef G2 was being casually massaged by SKT.
Faker was obviously annoyed by Perkz and G2's antics. He kept changing his screen with a straight face throughout the entire match as if he had not won a single match.
Li Xianghe's Ryze actually performed a counter-counter, hanging Yasso in the air. With Blazing Angel + Staff of Time + Mage Piercing Staff, Li Xianghe used Blazing Angel's shield to kill Yasso.
Lin Yan looked at Faker's gloomy face and suddenly felt that the S6 finals were just so-so.
In the early stages of the game, other than finding two opportunities from the top laner Huni, G2 had nothing to show for the rest of the time. The little dragon and other map resources were all under SKT's control.
Under SKT's high pressure, they were full of openings and made all kinds of moves.
In the middle stages of the little dragon team battle, G2 gained the view of the river and waited for SKT to enter their trap.
SKT did not want to give up on the little dragon, so they came together as a group. However, no one expected G2 to pull the strings.
The jungler, Wine Barrel, burped and rushed into the crowd of SKT players.
His E-Flash missed!
Immediately after, G2's adc Verus appeared from the shadows and used his ultimate move. His Corrupt Chain actually passed through the gap between Faker and Bang!
The key point was that Faker and Bang didn't react in time. Their positions were still as straight as before, and Verus's ultimate attack missed its target!
Lin Yan hurriedly shoveled two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth. The rice was soaked in the dark red braised meat broth. Each grain was distinct, fragrant and chewy.
The fatty meat melted in his mouth, while the lean meat was soft and fragrant.
He also had a bite of the braised egg. It was delicate and smooth, with a moderate saltiness.
In the time it took for Lin Yan to eat two mouthfuls of rice, the previous team battle had ended.
SKT traded one for four and successfully defeated the Dragon.
At this time, the live broadcast showed the replay of the previous team battle.
From the player's camera in the lower right corner, when Wine Barrel E flashed past, the SKT players were expressionless as they calmly prepared for the team battle.
But when Verus flashed out from the shadows and used his ultimate move, Faker was clearly shocked and his body trembled.
Lin Yan used his insight as a pro player to observe the entire situation. With the clear image quality of the Blu-Ray 10M, he was able to capture Faker's mouth in a short amount of time.
With the experience he had accumulated from being with Jin Gong for a year and a half, he could tell what Li Xianghe was talking about.
Xiba pup.
4:23。
This was the final headcount of the competition.
It was still the Exquisite Pagoda.
Lin Yan didn't need to surf to know that G2 was definitely destroyed.
On the first day of the group stage, they were so high that they tore the other team's uniforms and threw them into the trash can. Then, on the second day, they were defeated by two Twinklegem Towers, and one of them had zero kills.
If there was a team in China that did this, Lin Yan was sure that this team would be disbanded after the match against MSI.
When it came to esports, the Chinese audience was indeed more critical.
But this had nothing to do with him.
Lin Yan treated this match as an appetizer.
Taking the bus back to the InterContinental São Paulo Hotel, Lin Yan bade farewell to his teammates at the elevator. He followed the directions to the tenth floor, walked along the corridor, and found room 1017.
After knocking on the door for less than two seconds, Casa opened the door.
"Come in and take a seat." He looked like he had just taken a shower. His hair was still wet and had not been dried. "Let me dry my hair."
In order to ensure that everyone was treated equally, the hotel rooms that Fist had booked for them were of the same standard.
It was not very crowded, but it was definitely not very spacious either.
The InterContinental São Paulo Hotel was claimed to be a five-star hotel. Other than having the best location in the city center, the interior, food, and service facilities were about the same standard as the Hanting Boutique in China.
The hotel did not have slippers or toothpaste. The quality of the shower gel and shampoo was also very average. The corners of the bed and the chairs had varying degrees of wear and tear …
Lin Yan roughly scanned Casa's room.
There was a laptop on the table. It was playing the LCK Spring Season finals between SKT and KT.
In front of the computer was a steaming box of Brazilian barbecued meat and a bowl of garlic-smelling, oily rice. There was even some salt sprinkled on the rice.
One look and one could tell that it was a Brazilian specialty.
Brazilians did not eat boiled white rice. They first fried it with minced garlic, then fried it together with the rice in a wok. When it was out of the wok, they sprinkled some salt on the rice to add flavor.
There was also a stack of folded paper documents on Casa's bed. Lin Yan could vaguely make out the map of the Summoner's Canyon. It looked like the key points of the map given by the analysts.
Lin Yan prided himself on being open and aboveboard. Naturally, he would not pry into the secrets of the Lightning Wolves.
He moved a chair and sat there to wait. Casa walked out of the bathroom in his slippers, holding a hairdryer in his hand.
Casa glanced at his bed and took out his phone from the table.
"Are you guys confident about going up against SKT tomorrow?" Lin Yan casually asked after exchanging contact information with Casa.
"Yes," Casa was full of confidence. "If they don't use any advanced technology tomorrow and play like today, we'll definitely win."
The Lightning Wolves' title of being the best of Han Qixia was not a lie. It was earned through the glory of many bloody battles.
The S5 Lightning Wolves had defeated the predecessor of the ROXTigers, the KOO Tigers. The S6 MSI had defeated SKT in the group stage …
They were not inferior to the Korean team in the BO1 group stage.
Tomorrow, both the Lightning Wolves and YM would face SKT. Lin Yan was curious about how the Lightning Wolves would win against SKT in the first half of the match.
This might be an inspiration for YM.
Casa seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
"Just wait and see tomorrow." Casa took a pair of chopsticks from the side. "Do you still want to eat the barbecued meat?"
"Tsk tsk." Lin Yan looked at the Brazilian barbecued meat greedily. He took a pair of disposable chopsticks and took a bite.
The barbecued meat was grilled until both sides were golden and fragrant. The coarse salt had melted and penetrated the surface of the meat. There was also the fragrance of pine amidst the fresh and rough taste.
Casa played the video on his laptop and put the rice into his mouth.
After tasting the barbecued meat, Lin Yan put away his chopsticks and sat on the chair to drink water.
"Wow … look at this Deft motorcycle." Casa pointed at the screen and smiled. His eyes were squinted together.
"It's quite good."
Lin Yan nodded his head and gave his opinion. The Deft team battle on the screen flashed and was killed by Bang's EZ's precise bullet screen.
He planned to play a big game of chess like Ning Wang. He would reveal his true motive when he was closer to Casa.
Poaching.
Since the transfer period hadn't started yet, Casa's contract hadn't expired, and Fist had issued a global anti-poaching regulation — no club was allowed to hire official players and coaches who had contracts with other teams during the non-transfer period.
He definitely couldn't open his mouth to poach him now.
However, once this year's international tournament ended, the opportunity would come.
Lin Yan knew that Wolf King Casa would definitely not be satisfied with being the boss of a weak division like LMS.
Even though they were guaranteed to enter the international tournament every year, with the overall strength of the LMS division, their participating teams would most likely go out for a vacation. Then, they would obediently return home in the top 16 and send out a draft to the next international tournament.
Now that he had a good relationship with them, he would be able to poach them with a clear conscience.
Of course, there was a high chance that they would not stay in YM. With Casa's strength, going to another LPL team would also increase their competitiveness.
No matter what, it was a good thing.
The two laughed and laughed as they watched the LCK spring finals. Only then did Lin Yan say goodbye and leave.
He went back to the practice room to play two ranked games and sent two messages to Su Cheng. Then, he put on his eye mask and continued to catch up on his jet lag.
The next afternoon, YM's first opponent in the first half was Vietnam's big brother, GAM.
Lin Yan took out the mid laner, Qing Gang Yin, that he had not used in a long time. Even though the Vietnamese had done their research before the game, they still could not defend against this move.
The main reason was that Lin Yan's hero pool was too strange. He basically used all the mainstream and non-mainstream mid laners. The three bans in the first round could not restrict him at all.
Qing Gang Yin was not used for lane advantage. Lin Yan wanted to bring Xiao Tian to destroy Levi's jungle.
Levi was a rising star in recent years. Like his Vietnamese compatriot, SOFM, Levi's individual strength was outstanding, and he also needed a lot of resources to develop.
The other members of GAM were not good enough. As a result, this team relied on their wild father to play the game. The three lanes revolved around the jungler. You could beat them up, but you could not touch their wild father.
This abnormal system made GAM's current jungler lanes all the same.
With the mid laner's help, Levi would first eat the Three Wolf Beak Birds. At the same time, the duo would help him with the Buff. This way, after Levi ate the wild monsters and reached level 2, he could directly take over the Buff from the duo.
From start to finish, he was 10 seconds faster than the other junglers. Furthermore, he could maintain his condition very well.
For a jungler, this was simply the treatment of God.
Broiler, PDD, and Child's Wandering God brought IG's boss to play the game.
Then, Levi would use this time difference to attack the jungler. He would use the principle of decreasing the other party's strength to widen the gap between him and the other jungler.
However, this trick was obviously useless against YM.
Lin Yan did not like his bad habits. He reached level 2 and used E, Grappling Hook. He gave up on a wave of minions and took the lead to invade and capture Levi.
Normally, although Lin Yan and Xiao Tian were conjoined, it was not to such an extent.
After all, the early wave of minions was very important for the mid laner.
However, YM's opponent was GAM.
As long as Levi was defeated, their opponents would not be able to do anything.
Lin Yan's E Flash was getting more and more proficient. He jumped over the wall and kicked the Vietnamese captain who was trying to run away. Xiao Tian took advantage of the time when Levi was stunned and used Heaven's Sound Wave. His second Q followed up.
Levi nanqiang used Flash to escape, but Xiao Tian used Flash to catch up with him and used the Red Buff to stick to him. He chased him all the way until he died.
"GAM's mid and top are rushing to the jungle. They want to surround YM's mid laner!" Doll shouted. "Can Ran and Xiao Tian leave quickly!"
"Instead, they want to turn around and eat GAM's Red Buff!
That's too arrogant! "
"Give it to me, give it to me."
Lin Yan demanded. He lost a wave of minions and only received 200 gold coins for the first blood assist. To be honest, it was not a profit. This Red Buff was the interest for helping Phyllostachys Pubescens.
Xiao Tian used the Red Buff to reduce his health and Lin Yan took it with a kick.
GAM's jungler thought for a moment and decided to calm down and retreat first.
They had already lost a member. They would definitely be at a disadvantage if they fought in the first half. Moreover, YM's mid laner was full of buffs. They would not be able to win at all!
Levi gave away his first blood and Flash. He also had a set of Buffs taken. The jungle fell into a rhythm of collapse.
Phyllostachys Pubescens began to bully others. He used his first blood advantage to invade Levi's jungle and led Lin Yan's Qing Gang Yin to wander around.
The Prophet also abandoned Jack's frequent visits to the river and GAM's jungle to set up vision. He wanted to completely seal off the Corporal's position.
"Why do I feel like YM is playing like GAM now?" Doll teased.
"There's definitely a difference," Mille said seriously. "GAM gives all their resources to the jungler. YM gives all their resources to the mid laner!"
At 17 minutes, the kill ratio between the two sides was 7: 2. Xiao Tian had a perfect participation rate of 106. However, other than getting a kill, the rest of his economy was basically taken away by Lin Yan.
Lin Yan and Xiao Tian had a tacit understanding when it came to the distribution of economy. Blind Monk only needed to get these economic advantages in the early and mid-laner. It would not be good for the team if he killed a few more people.
In the casual game, Blind Monk frequently killed people alone. Then, he did not handle the situation well and gave away the advantage. The other teammates had no economy and could not carry.
This situation was not uncommon in the professional arena.
It was better to give the economy to the mid laner Qing Gang Yin. This way, it would be easier to expand the advantage.
Lin Ran, who had taken 5 kills, had managed to craft three luxurious items, the Hydra Quicksilver Shoes, in 17 minutes. In the middle of the game, he had almost killed GAM's Verus with a kick that dealt true damage!
"YM has shown us what a textbook jungle invasion is!"
Mille could not help but shout when he saw Lin Yan's ridiculous damage. "They're using the opponent's jungle to supplement their economy. A few of their economy players are ahead of GAM in terms of equipment!"
"They're going to take down GAM's high ground. This way, where can Levi go to eat the resources in the jungle?"
In the Dragon's attack and defense battle three minutes later, GAM thought that they had seized the opportunity and decisively used Jack.
"You can't kill me! You can't kill me!" Jack's tone was arrogant. "Continue to fight your father if you dare!
Don't stop! "
"Jack has Lulu's ultimate to protect him. He also has a mouthful of Redemption. His healing capacity is amazing!"
Mille saw Jack's health drop from full to full with the shield and healing effect. "GAM used a bunch of skills, but they didn't kill Jack!"
"How are they going to fight this?
Ran's Qing Gang Yin has entered the arena!
The R [Hex's Ultimatum] combined with the second-stage Q [Precise Etiquette] killed Levi's nanqiang! "
With GAM's only carry dead, the remaining four players were utterly defeated. They were chased by YM all the way!
At 22 minutes, GAM's base Crystal was broken!
Levi's final score stopped at 250. A nanqiang was defeated by Xiao Tian's Blind Monk by two levels and 40 hits. It was a tragic sight.
The only good news was that Levi maintained a 100% participation rate. He used smoke grenades and big recruitment to take down two people. KDA had done their best.
Lin Yan shook hands with his teammates and went down the stage. He went straight to the lounge to watch the next match.
Flash Wolves versus SKT.
As expected, they were well prepared.
Flash Wolves took out Kenji, who was Huni's specialty, and Kenan, who was strong in this version. Then, they shifted their selection to the top half of the map.
Logically speaking, in this version, since Lil Dino had not been nerfed, a normal team's BP would revolve around the top four positions.
Other than heroes like Kenan, Rambo, and Galio, who had a lot of room to play in the river, the rest of the top laners were not worth fighting for in the first round.
However, no one knew if SKT had done it on purpose. They had allowed Lightning Wolf to get a top-laner Murloc + jungler Blind Monk + mid-laner Qing Gang Yin. Then, Faker had chosen Clockwork to deal with Sindera.
In Lin Yan's opinion, Mimi Egg was very suitable for the top laner. He had good resistance to pressure and a variety of escape methods. In addition, he could teleport with Ignite. He would not be at a disadvantage if he had an additional summoner skill in the top laner.
If Mimi Egg still could not beat Huni's Rambo, he would recommend retiring.
The universe's number one top laner, Mimi Egg, withstood the pressure and called for the jungler to destroy Huni. Maple, who was in the middle lane, went all out and suppressed Faker's Clockwork.
Snakeskin was also moving around frequently. His target was SKT's top, middle, and bottom laner. He wanted to restrict them to death.
Maple fought two waves of teams. After Sindra's equipment was replenished, they were simply killing everything in their path. Their damage output was explosive.
In the end, Flash Wolves fought for 38 minutes and defeated SKT with a headcount of 15: 2!
(See the chart in this chapter.)
"Flash Wolves live up to their name of being the anti-Han Qixia. They still have a relatively high win rate against the Korean team!"
Lin Yan sat in the lounge, watching Flash Wolves' strategy and SKT's response. He frowned. He felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
