While the male gunner appeared in the middle lane to help Fox push the line, Little Sleepyhead did not stay idle either. He ran to the top lane to forcefully deplete Jesse's HP, helping Jin Gong to support the situation in the early stages.
Nanqiang cleared the minions quickly. He slid over and used a [Dead End] to kill a few minions in front of the tower.
He purposely did not kill the minions. He could be called a model Nanqiang player.
Ah P killed the minions with a Deception Orb and the gold coins jumped into his pocket.
The minions successfully entered YM's defense tower.
Fortunately, Yellow Chick's hands were long enough to not be depleted by Fox even if it was pinned under the tower.
Now that the defense tower was attacking the cannon, Lin Yan did not stand there and AFK. He raised a Sand Soldier and started to poke the ranged minions.
Every ranged minions poked once and then went to kill the cannon minions.
The melee minions were hit twice by the defense tower and were left with low health. Lin Yan poked them again. The ranged minions were hit by the defense tower's cannon and were poked by Lin Yan's Sand Soldier before. They were already at low health.
The first Sand Soldier disappeared. Lin Yan raised another one and poked it lightly to kill the minions.
The last two ranged minions were not at full health before entering the tower. They could not even take a single attack from the defense tower.
Before the cannonball from the defense tower landed, Lin Ran poked it with a normal attack and then used his Q [Sand Storm] to move the sand soldier over. He successfully killed the small soldier before the defense tower could hit him.
Three waves of minions, 19 attacks, not a single attack missed.
Lin Yan defended the honor of the mid lane's Desert Emperor's Tower Blade.
The director had nothing to do. He kept the camera on Lin Yan and wanted to see if he would miss any attacks.
However, the plan fell through. The entire process of the Tower Blade was seen clearly by the Chinese audience.
Words of 'good supplement' were heartfelt praise for Lin Yan.
"Nanqiang, help to clear out the minions in the middle lane. Seeing that their Sharp-Beaked Bird hasn't been eaten yet, they decisively took it." On the stage, Ze Yuan's gaze followed the movements of the junglers from both sides.
"In this game, Xiao Tian must carry the heavy responsibility of driving YM's rhythm in the early and middle stages," Remember said. "Jin Gong and Ran can't help him much in this game. He can only rely on himself."
In this game, Xiao Tian fully displayed his jungle sense.
It was as if he had installed a radar in the wilderness to know the location of the Nanqiang on the opposite side. He carried out a meticulous route plan in the wilderness to avoid the Nanqiang's position as much as possible.
However, the jungle was only so big. The players could avoid the opposite jungler, but the monsters that stayed in the jungle could not.
"Xiao Tian has once again been forced to give up a group of Razorbeak Birds. The gap between the two junglers has widened!"
Lin Yan in the middle lane was not having an easy time either. Due to the disadvantage in the jungle, he did not dare to push the line across the river most of the time. It was already difficult for him to fight in the middle lane. Once he died, the rhythm of the entire game would be affected.
Not daring to push the line made Yellow Chicken very uncomfortable. This was because Sand Soldier's ability to push the line was very difficult to control.
Ah P learned from his previous lesson. He did not use any skills to push the line. He only used a normal attack to push the minions in front of his tower.
Anyway, it was very difficult for Fox to solo Yellow Chicken before Level 6. Not exchanging health with Lin Yan did not have much of an impact.
At this time, the bottom lane was in a fight. Prophet was accidentally hit by Galio's chain crowd-control, and G2's Big Mouth was constantly attacking from behind.
However, Jack was not afraid of 2v2 at all. He used his skateboard shoes to jump at Big Mouth's face.
In the end, all four players from both sides were left with low health. They all retreated behind the tower and returned to the city.
Lin Yan looked at the position of the minions. "Xiao Tian, you move later. My minions are about to push over."
"No problem. I'll look at the position of your minions."
Phyllostachys Pubescens was obviously a qualified jungler. At the very least, he would look at the minions of the heroes in the lane. He would not just bury his head and focus on farming.
In the seventh wave of minions, Lin Yan subconsciously moved forward and pointed at the long-range soldiers.
Ah P looked at Yellow Chicken's action of pushing the line. He faintly smelled a strange scent.
Since long-range soldiers were more fragile and had higher attack power, they were often the primary target of lane pushers.
As long as they killed the opponent's long-range soldiers first, more minions would survive in this wave of minions. They could then accumulate a large wave of minions to push over.
Normally, this was the basic operation of players who were good at long-range heroes like Yellow Chicken and Zerath.
Of course, this was also a compulsory course for some players who liked to use their long hands to fight short hands in the top lane.
The ideal environment for these long-range heroes was to push a large wave of minions under the opponent's tower. Then, they would use the advantage of their long hands to brainlessly exhaust the opponent while the opponent was replenishing their minions.
Because there were too many minions under the tower, the damage output of this wave of minions gathered together was higher than the damage output of the heroes in the early stages. The opponent was afraid of attracting the aggro of the minions and often chose the strategy of not fighting back.
This was the best time for long-range heroes. Seeing that the opponent's hero did not even have the strength to fight back under their harassment, a strong sense of conquest and accomplishment would surge in their hearts.
Therefore, long-range heroes were quite addictive. Many people could not stop once they got involved.
Speaking of which, the formation of the minions was natural for ordinary long-range heroes. However, it was very strange for this game.
The G2 Nanqiang had just snatched the Sharp Beak Bird from Xiao Tian. Logically speaking, he should still be wandering around the middle lane.
Yellow Chicken did not need to attack the long-range soldiers. He could let this wave of minions stay in the middle lane for 15 seconds to avoid the Nanqiang's gank.
But he did not.
After experiencing the sharpening of the group stage, Ah P's lane awareness improved rapidly.
He completed the feat of zero deaths in the entire semifinals. Even if Lin Yan used a support-type hero as a factor, it was enough to prove his improvement.
Ah P still did not understand what Lin Yan wanted to do.
YM's Qing Gang Yin was in G2's field of vision. He was in a very bad state at the bottom lane and had already returned to the city to replenish his equipment. Only Blind Monk was left. However, what could YM, who had not reached level 6, do?
In his opinion, a top professional player like Lin Yan would definitely not do meaningless things on the field.
There must be something wrong with this wave of minions!
Ah P's thoughts turned a thousand times. In the end, he still did not understand Lin Yan's purpose.
However, there was no need to understand now. It was fine as long as he did not let Lin Yan get what he wanted.
This wave of minions could not be easily pushed forward by Yellow Chicken.
He also used his skill to push the minions, but Fox's skill level was not high. The damage of the Orb of Deception was not enough to clear the minions.
"Come and help me. Don't let him push the minions into the tower!"
Ah P saw that he could not clear the minions and immediately called for a jungler.
Nanqiang was nearby. He immediately rushed to the middle lane, ready to clear the minions and send Lin Yan back to the city.
"I can buy you some time." Lin Yan saw that Fox began to use QW to clear the minions. He knew that his intention to push the minions had been seen through. He hurriedly urged Xiao Tian. "Hurry up."
"I know, I know. Don't shout." Xiao Tian was still busy.
Ze Yuan lowered his volume.
"Xiao Tian is stealing this fire dragon. Blind Monk has the shield of the Golden Bell. He has no pressure to solo the little dragon alone …"
He saw the caster's camera quickly move to the little dragon area.
Through the minimap, Ze Yuan found more information.
"No one in G2 has noticed?"
He was a little surprised. "They have an eye position above the dragon pit. Nanqiang also controls the vision of the River Crab …"
"But G2 didn't set up an eye position in the dragon pit!"
Remember guessed the answer. "Xiao Tian blocked the vision and kicked down from the side of the dragon pit. G2 was still too careless. They didn't set up an eye position in the dragon pit!"
"G2 hasn't reacted yet. Nanqiang wants to catch him, but Ran is very cautious. He used [Shifting Sand] to move backward. Nanqiang didn't touch him at all!"
Nanqiang was still leisurely pushing the minions for Fox.
As a good brother of Ah P, he didn't eat the minions. He just wanted to gain experience.
He watched as he mixed with a large wave of minions. His experience bar was already more than half of level five. He was still very happy.
In his impression, Blind Monk didn't even gain experience from a wave of minions. He even countered a group of Beaked Birds. Now, he should be a whole level lower in experience.
In the first two games, G2's jungler had played quite badly. Every time, he gave 1 HP and buffs to the opposing mid lane. In both games, he couldn't find any rhythm. However, in this game, he felt like he had turned the tables.
The Brazilian audience at the scene booed, but Nanqiang still didn't notice.
It wasn't until the moment the fire dragon died and let out a tragic cry that Nanqiang figured out what Xiao Tian was doing!
"What?" Ah P was stunned.
He glanced at the river below and saw that his team only had a vision provided by the River Crab below the dragon pit. There was only a fake eye above.
Against the Blind Monk, this kind of vision setup was a crime!
"Mine, mine." The support Gario's tone was full of apology. "We fought at the bottom lane last time. I returned to the city with low HP and couldn't use the river as an eye."
Ah P clicked his tongue.
This wave … was quite a loss.
All of this was in Lin Yan's plan. He had been thinking about how to steal the fire dragon since the beginning of the fight at the bottom lane.
When G2's bottom lane returned to the city, there was bound to be a gap in the dragon pit's vision. This was the perfect opportunity for Xiao Tian to open up the dragon's vision.
Lin Yan's job was to force the opposing Nanqiang's jungler to come over and tie him up in the middle lane, giving Xiao Tian a good and safe environment to steal the dragon.
Forcibly gathering a large wave of minions to push into G2's middle tower was his plan.
Although his intention was discovered and Nanqiang rushed to the middle lane in advance, his plan still came true. This fire dragon fell into YM's pocket!
"A fire dragon, 8% attack power buff, very valuable for Yellow Chick and Qing Gang Yin!"
Ze Yuan saw the attributes of the next elemental sub-dragon appear on the rock wall of the dragon pit and was very surprised.
"The next one is still a fire dragon!
It seems that the weather in Summoner's Canyon in this game is as bad as the weather in Rio de Janeiro! "
Lin Yan also caught this message.
"Okay, the next one will continue to control the dragon. Everyone, be steady." He arranged the command.
"No problem." Xiao Tian drank water as he returned to the city.
After the Nanqiang left the middle lane, Lin Yan continued to eat minions. Since Fox didn't consume much of his energy, he planned to farm more money before returning to the city.
After all, he didn't teleport in this game, so he didn't have to go home one more time.
After the ninth wave of minions was eaten, both sides had reached level six. The headcount of both sides was still 1: 0, and YM was temporarily leading by 0.2K in economy.
Although the bottom lane took blood, Xiao Tian still had some losses in the jungle collision. The mid lane was the position most closely linked to the jungler. Lin Yan chose Yellow Chick to lose the lead and initiative, which was very harmful to a carnivorous and rhythmic jungler like Blind Monk.
More importantly, the Prophet obviously hadn't mastered the skill of roaming yet.
Even if he had a matchup advantage, he still stayed by Jack's side. Unless the AD asked him to leave, the Prophet almost never took the initiative to go offline and link up with the jungler.
Xiao Tian could only play by himself. He avoided the Nanqiang and circled the jungle. Plus, he spent time stealing a fire dragon, so his development would definitely fall behind.
Lin Yan waited until 7 minutes and 55 seconds for Ah P to eat the minions and return to the city before returning to the spring for the first time to replenish.
At this time, there were a total of three waves of minions, including four turrets, and a total of 81 minions.
Lin Yan added 79 hits.
Those two hits weren't missed because he made a mistake, but because of the threat of the Nanqiang, Lin Yan couldn't make up for it.
He returned to the city and directly took out the Devil's Codex, Bee Sting, and a pair of straw sandals.
If this development continued, the next time he returned to the city, he would be able to get Nash's Tooth and level two shoes. Next, it would be the countdown to G2's death.
Ah P also knew that he couldn't let the yellow chicken continue to develop. He began to frequently find opportunities to exchange blood with Lin Yan.
He was now also wearing shoes and had the Devil's Codex in hand, but he had a few fewer soldiers than Lin Yan, and in order to make a vision, he also bought a True Eye and put it in the river grass.
Fox came forward to sell his butt and wanted to use his nine furry tails to lure the yellow chicken forward.
Lin Yan was silent and controlled the yellow chicken to shrink under the tower.
He didn't eat the minions that he couldn't eat, because Fox always had to replenish the minions, and the line would slowly push to his tower.
Now Fox didn't have the advantage of equipment, and it was impossible to cross the tower to kill the yellow chicken.
Ah P couldn't find an opportunity, and he was anxious to death. After Jesse on the top lane experienced the strong period of the early stage, the first reincarnation city to replenish the equipment, and the advantage against Qing Gang Yin was not so big.
They must increase the tempo.
"Nanqiang came to the bottom lane to look for an opportunity. He used sliding over the wall and bypassed the Prophet's True Eye in the triangular grass!" Remember looked at Nanqiang's movement trajectory and was very worried.
"Big Mouth is pushing the line, are they going to cross YM's bottom lane tower?" Ze Yuan felt unbelievable, "Boulogne and Callista have big moves!"
On the field, facing the Nanqiang coming from the grass behind a tower, the Prophet immediately raised the security door to resist the damage.
With a crackling sound, G2 poured all the damage of the three people on the security door, and then immediately retreated.
Remember was a little puzzled, "Boulogne still has 14 HP left. What is G2 thinking, the little dragon hasn't respawned yet!"
The Prophet cooperated with Jack to eat a wave of minions under the tower, and then immediately returned to the city to replenish the status.
Lin Yan looked at the wave of cannon that was about to be pushed in front of him, and was about to set up the sand soldier to start poking, but found that Fox's position was a little wrong.
Too far ahead.
Want to cross the tower?
Lin Yan wanted to retreat, but Ah P had already made his move.
The distance was a little far, and Ah P immediately used an E + big move!
Nine-tailed Fox turned into a phantom and rushed forward, hiding the heart of Charm in the trajectory of its skill.
Lin Yan had no time to set up the sand soldier and use E + [Shifting Sand] to move away, so he could only control Yellow Chick to try and dodge.
However, Ah P's combo was too fast, and Lin Yan's straw sandals didn't allow him to dodge the skill.
The moment he was hit by Charm, Lin Yan had already called for Phyllostachys Pubescens to help.
However, Blind Monk was still farming the crabs in the upper half of the field, and was a little far away.
The moment Charm was used, Ah P's Fox had already used W [Bewitching Foxfire] and Q [Orb of Deception] to attack Tsar!
He was very confident in his skill's hit rate!
As expected, not only did Charm hit, the next three balls of Foxfire and the first part of Orb of Deception also hit. With Shoes of Spellcaster, the damage of this combo was quite impressive!
Lin Yan used [Purify] as soon as he was hit by Charm, and then blinked to the side, trying to dodge the True Damage when Fox retracted the Orb of Deception.
"Ah P is using the second part of his big move, and he's trying to pull the Orb of Deception to Yellow Chick!"
However, Lin Yan was waiting for Fox to use the second part of his big move.
Fox's big move [Soul Ambush] couldn't be used three times in a row, and there was a gap in between. Lin Yan was waiting for this gap.
He used W to set up a sand soldier in front of Fox, and E + [Shifting Sand] to move towards Fox's face!
He wanted to use the gap between Fox's big move to use [Shifting Sand] to hit Ah P, and then refresh a shield to resist the damage!
Since Ah P couldn't use the third part of his big move to pull away, he could only rely on his positioning to dodge.
Fox retreated away from the sand soldier's position, and Lin Yan used Q + [Violent Sand Attack] just as Yellow Chick was about to move onto the sand soldier, and stabbed the sand soldier at Fox, while his whole body continued to move forward with the sand soldier!
At this moment, a giant circle suddenly appeared around Fox!
"The support Galio is rushing over!" Ze Yuan exclaimed. "There's a nanqiang next to him, and G2 wants to complete a 3-pack of 1!"
"G2 has been planning this for a long time!
They took the bottom lane just now to cripple the prophet, and free up their support Galio to roam the middle lane with the jungler! "
"Yellow Chick used E + [Shifting Sand] to successfully get a shield, and at the same time, moved behind Fox, avoiding the damage from the Orb of Deception!"
At this time, the defense tower had already reduced Ah P's health to a critical level. He decisively used the third part of his big move and escaped the tower, leaving the rest to his teammates!
Galio was about to land on the ground, and Lin Yan could even hear the sound of the Justice Colossus rising into the air!
At this time, he didn't have any positioning skills to dodge Galio's attack.
However, he still had a big move!
Lin Yan continued to move forward, and leaving the center of Galio's big move would shorten the time he was sent flying.
Just as he reached the outer circle, the Justice Colossus fell!
Lin Yan used the timing to push out the R [Wall of Forbidden Army] from the tower!
"Galio landed and sent Yellow Chick flying …" Remember to look at the OB perspective. "But Ran also sent him flying!"
On the screen, Lin Yan pushed out the wall made of sand soldiers before Galio landed, and the Justice Colossus landed and sent Yellow Chick flying. At the same time, the Wall of Forbidden Army flew in front of him, and pushed him back down the tower the moment he landed!
"Wonderful extreme maneuver!" Ze Yuan roared.
Not only the commentator, but the live audience also went crazy when they saw this scene.
This Yellow Chick's big move was much harder to deal with than when the enemy got up after pressing down on Zhongya's hourglass. If he was even a little slower, Galio might have to use his skill!
With only 100 HP left, Lin Yan fled upward, trying to meet up with Phyllostachys Pubescens. Before he left, he even took the time to plant a Fake Eye in the Beak Birds' camp.
"Galio blinked and followed the distance, and Justice Wind Fan flew out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience in the stands exclaimed again!
The moment Yellow Chick saw Galio's Wind Fan, it turned around and dodged the fatal skill!
"That's ridiculous, Ran can still dodge the skill in this situation?"
However, because of this turn, Galio also closed the distance at the same time, and used Ignite!
This Ignite refreshed the remaining two seconds of Ignite's burning effect on Fox.
"Save me, save me!"
Lin Yan shouted. Galio's Level 6 Ignite had 170 True Damage, and he couldn't take it at all!
"It's coming!"
Xiao Tian's words were like rain after a long drought, and Lin Yan's spirits were lifted!
The bald man with a red bandage over his eyes flashed over the wall, and Golden Bell Shield covered his body!
A layer of shield appeared on Yellow Chick's body!
"Xiao Tian arrived at the crucial moment, and successfully rescued Ran!"
At this time, Nanqiang appeared in the Beak Birds' camp that Lin Yan had planted a Fake Eye earlier!
He had planted a Fake Eye here in order to keep an eye on the Beak Birds' respawn in the YM wilderness.
Naturally, he could clearly see Lin Ran's movements in setting up a field of vision.
In order to avoid his big move being dodged like Galio's Wind Fan, Nanqiang chose the safest way to attack.
"Nanqiang blinked over the wall, slide and smoke bomb!"
"This Yellow Chick can't escape!"
Lin Yan was helpless. He looked at his remaining HP and knew that he was doomed.
He did not try to move anymore, and instead controlled Sand Soldier to poke Nanqiang.
"Nanqiang used Q [End of the Road] to take Yellow Chick's head, but Blind Monk wants to fight him one-on-one!"
Nanqiang had used all of his skills except for his big move. Although Mongoose was one level behind, he did not panic at all, and slowed down with Heaven's Sonic Wave and Thunder Break.
Two heavy punches with passive attack speed bonus landed on Nanqiang's body, and then with the help of E Skill, he circled around Nanqiang and kicked him back to the defense tower!
Just as Galio retreated from the defense tower's range, Nanqiang followed up and enjoyed the massage of cannon fire!
"Blind Monk's two-stage Q is following up, kill Nanqiang with low HP!"
Remember suddenly raised his voice. "Qing Gang Yin is also rushing over, Jin Gong is going straight for Galio with low HP!"
In Remember's shout, Jin Gong used Hook Rope to stun Galio and kicked him to death! "Without Flash, how are you going to run!"
"A swap for a goose!
G2 Nakano used all of his big moves and summoner skills in exchange for Yellow Chick's life. This is a huge loss! "Remember clenched his fist.
Ze Yuan shook his head, disagreeing with G2's strategy of crossing the tower. "They are too reckless. Ran's control is also at its peak. He refreshed his shield and dodged all of the skills that could be dodged!"
Remember said excitedly, "Including the vision of the Beaked Bird's camp when he was escaping, it helped him to successfully see Nanqiang's position and forced Nanqiang to use all of his skills, so Xiao Tian has no pressure in the following battle!"
One for two, Lin Yan also received two assists. The ratio of the two sides was 3: 1, and the economic gap was instantly widened to 1K!
In this game, G2 was the side that bore the pressure of attacking. They lost a fire dragon in the first ten minutes, and they were still behind the opponent in terms of kills. This was unacceptable to them.
