Mille on the commentary platform shouted, his face as red as a monkey's butt. "YM won IG in this game. I see the shadow of this year's mid-season competition in Brazil on them!"
"21 minutes. In the current version where tanks dominate, to finish the game at such a speed can only be described as terrifying!" Remember could not hide the excitement in his voice.
It was important to know that in the current version where tanks were in the jungle, the jungler's task was more of herbivore control than catching people to gank.
Nowadays, in most professional games, the early economic snowball could not roll. The two carries were forced to fight damage heroes, which slowed down the pace of the game even more. The average game time in the first two weeks of LPL was even close to 40 minutes.
But in today's game, YM only used 21 minutes to crush Group A's top team, IG, who had previously won eight games in a row!
"The MVP of this game …" A slightly plump boy with delicate facial features appeared on the big screen. On the screen, he was expressionless. His hands formed a heart shape in front of his chest, looking like he was forced to do business.
"Crisp, the substitute!" Remember's eyes lit up. "He scored a perfect 10/10 in this game!"
"Especially the team battle in Dragon's Pit Canyon." Mille's tone was calm at this time. "Luo's roaming was too smart. That wave of support could be said to have determined the direction of the whole game!"
The audience was already boiling.
Although The Shy's maneuvers in the spring competition had attracted a large number of fans for him, and the old orphanage director Song Yijin had a group of dog fans.
But this popularity was like a drop in the ocean in front of the current YM.
From last summer to now, YM had won the global finals, mid-season, and LPL spring and summer …
These real honors made the number of YM fans reach an extremely terrifying level. In addition, the group of people in YM made a lot of jokes, and the effect of the live broadcast program was stronger than the previous …
It was no exaggeration to say that Lin Yan's fans alone could crush this IG team.
Including the main square at this time, most of the people who came to watch the game live were YM fans.
Their emotions had been suppressed for far more than a small game. Since YM lost to JDG, the league's bottom team, at the beginning of last week, many YM fans had begun to shut down.
At this moment, the home team that they supported had used a hearty victory to break IG's 8-game winning streak. How could they not be excited?
[F * ck, it's too much to be a fan of YM these days. Winning a small round of IG is as exciting as winning the LPL championship. I didn't expect this.]
[It can't be helped. With Sister Li's help, her previous results were indeed not good, and her fans were worried about her.]
[Repetition of words?
Disgusting!]
Hanyi, who was watching from the backstage lounge, was livid.
He didn't expect Liu Qingsong's Luo to suddenly appear at the critical moment and use a series of crowd control skills to destroy the team battle.
After watching the entire match, he knew that Liu Qingsong's current strength in lane play was not considered top-notch. He could only be considered average in LPL.
However, the awareness of roaming as support was much stronger than YM's starting support Prophet.
Liu Qingsong was already proficient in Hammer Stone, and this match was full of highlights. These two strong supports made Liu Qingsong extremely suitable for this hard support version.
Something had to be done.
Logically speaking, the way to deal with this type of roaming support was very simple — put enough pressure on the lane, and it was best to gain the advantage and keep the minions under the opponent's tower.
This way, as long as Liu Qingsong roamed, Jack would be very uncomfortable. He would either miss his attacks or be killed by the tower.
But …
Hanyi looked at his own Bao Lan and was suddenly in a difficult situation.
In reality, Bao Lan's current strength was not bad. Like his partner West, his lane play was guaranteed to be second to first in IG's history.
However, this was mainly because the previous supports in IG were too ridiculous.
Xiao Xiao Sun Yalong was already considered the big brother of the support position in IG. Even though the later part of his career was not as good, at least he could still produce some highlights. The rest of the supports were all precious.
Cocoa, who hit 999 pim with Kid's God of Wandering, and Tabe, who walked down the lane with Rain Emperor for 12 minutes in lane play …
In comparison, Bao Lan was really not bad.
Even though he was one of the top in IG's history, Bao Lan's strength was only good in the entire Alliance.
This kind of strength combination could not be considered a burden to IG, but it was far from being able to suppress Jack and Liu Qingsong together with West.
There was not much time left for Hanyi to adjust. After a short intermission, the final match between IG and YM had begun.
"IG chose the red side in the third round. This way, YM, who is in the blue side, will be banned first!"
White Crescent did not hesitate to ban Zach first. Zach was now worthy of being a T0 jungler in this version.
Even though Xiao Tian's Zach was not bad, his priority was not as high as Princes's Spider. Zach was not to the point where he had to play him.
Anyway, YM, who was in the blue side, had more than enough bans. White Crescent simply banned Zach and did not give it to Ning Wang.
Han Yi still obediently banned the spiders.
White Crescent then banned Sindra and Kenji. Hanyi adapted to the situation and did not target Xiao Tian anymore. Instead, he banned Rambo and Lucian.
Both heroes were targeted at Lin Yan.
Broiler had just reported in the lounge that he could not play Rambo in this version.
Hanyi still trusted his own mid laner because he knew that in this IG, Ning Wang, and the bottom laner could all be banned.
However, Song Yi could not.
If others collapsed, he could still count on Broiler. If Broiler collapsed, there was basically no chance of IG winning.
Since Dean Song said that he couldn't fight, then Han Yi directly banned him. This could be considered as solving this problem.
"IG has released the Charlot combo. Now it's up to YM to choose," Mille said with a frown.
In this version, Charlot was considered T1, but it was not a must-ban.
However, in this game, Charlot would definitely be a point of contention.
This was because both sides' bottom laners were quite familiar with this combo. West and Jack were both good at playing Charlot. Liu Qingsong and Bao Lan's Luo were also very representative.
Moreover, Hanyi had buried a hole here.
The blue team YM had to take one of Charlot first. Otherwise, the red team IG would take all of Charlot.
This way, it could be said that YM's priority was halved.
Moreover, if they wanted to get another hero for Liu Qingsong, Hammer Stone, they would have to choose between the second and third hands.
This way, YM would be forced to lock down two of the first three heroes. The remaining two of the top, middle, and bottom laners would have to wait until the second round to take them.
Hanyi was indirectly giving YM strong support in exchange for his top, middle, and bottom laner priority in the first round of BP.
This was his countermeasure.
He would also let Bao Lan take the roaming hero and then focus on the top, middle, and bottom laner.
As long as Bao Lan could keep up with Liu Qingsong's support, they would have an easy time in this game.
White Crescent thought for a long time about whether to take Charlot or Luo.
In the end, he trusted Jack and let Big Head Shiba Inu take Charlot first.
"Luo and Princes!" He remembered seeing IG lock down two heroes. "This lineup's ability to start a team is quite strong!"
"And it's a bit of a swing. The Sh and Ning Wang's Princes are not weak. They learned from YM in the last game. They should have left this swing position to the end."
White Crescent pressed the pen spring. "How about Piggy and Hammer Stone?"
"No problem." Liu Qingsong rubbed his meaty palms. His voice was very calm.
He was here to prove himself today. Hammer Stone, who was an expert hero, was naturally very suitable for him.
"IG's last pick in the first round was Broiler's Clockwork. This way, their team battle strength is simply terrifying!"
Clockwork's Magic Puppet with Princes and Luo looked very strong no matter how one looked at it.
Lin Yan even felt that the team control effect of these three people could turn the tables and win the team battle even if they were behind in economy by 10,000.
In the second round, Hanyi banned Qing Gang Yin and Crocodile.
"Looks like they're going to give Princes to The Sh …" Mille was a little uncertain. However, IG's two bans had both banned the heroes that Princes was difficult to deal with. It seemed like that was what they meant.
"YM's side is banning Verus and Policewoman. They're targeting West!"
Now, the only strong ADCs left outside were Big Mouth and Ice, and Big Mouth's coordination with Luo was relatively average.
In the end, Hanyi chose Ice, who was more versatile.
"YM directly locked down the top mid combo of Airplane and Galio!"
Now, IG only had one position left that hadn't been revealed, but Mille, Remember, and the YM people had already guessed that it was a top mid Princes.
Not to mention that Hanyi had banned those strong top laners, just Jin Gong's top laner Galio, if not for Princes, it would be difficult for the top laners to deal with this Forbidden Stone Statue.
"IG's final choice of Wine Barrel is indeed top laner Princes!"
The lineups of both sides were thus determined.
The blue side YM: top laner Galio, Wild Boar Girl, mid laner Airplane, bottom laner Lu Xia + Hammer Stone.
The red side IG: top laner Princes, jungler Wine Barrel, mid laner Clockwork, bottom laner Ice + Luo.
In contrast, YM relied more on the late game output of the two archers, and the existence of Galio made YM's overall lineup lean towards backhand protection.
IG's lineup was much more aggressive. It was best to stand on the side that took the initiative to force the team.
The YM fans below the stage were already wishing for their home team to win this game.
Whether the previous game was a flash in the pan or a sign of YM's rise all depended on this game!
The opponent had too many control skills, so Lin Yan naturally brought Purification to ensure his team's output environment.
After the loading bar finished, Lin Yan and his teammates appeared in the Summoner's Canyon.
Lin Yan thought about it, but he didn't buy the Extract in the end.
Even though he still wanted to play the Extreme Growth route, Airplane versus Clockwork wasn't easy to play. Coupled with the deterrence of Rookie's signature Clockwork, Lin Yan still chose Doranjian.
"Come invade the jungle, just follow behind me!" In the team voice, Liu Qingsong spoke first.
Just as he spoke, two 'on the way' signals had already marked IG's blue buff camp.
They were sent by Lin Yan and Jack.
"Talk more in this game. If you can also command, I can rest well." Lin Yan joked.
Lin Yan was the leader of the team now. Jack preferred to switch lanes and steal the Dragon. Xiao Tian took the initiative to ask his teammates to pay attention to his position when invading and ganking.
Now that Liu Qingsong was added, there were quite a few people participating in the team's decision-making.
Liu Qingsong hummed in acknowledgment and didn't say anything else.
He looked very cold.
Lin Yan was interested. He leaned forward to see Liu Qingsong's face, but his line of sight was blocked by a large head.
He couldn't see Liu Qingsong at all.
"What are you looking at, Brother Ran?" Jack chewed his gum and looked at Lin Yan with his head shaking along with his body.
"Nothing." The plane he was controlling was about to reach the entrance of the river. Lin Yan quickly retracted his gaze and focused on the game.
After two seconds of silence, Lin Yan couldn't take it anymore.
"Jack, your head is so big."
"What are you talking about …" Jack was furious. Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Qingsong who was at the front of the team had already seen Law!
"Look at me! Look at me!" Liu Qingsong's hook was ready to attack.
Mille on the commentary platform saw it too. He raised his voice and it lingered around the stadium.
"Liu Qingsong directly teleported!
Hook, attack! "
As the commentator exclaimed in surprise, Liu Qingsong used Blink to close the distance between himself and Sapphire. Then, he swung his Stone Hammer and threw out his scythe!
Bao Lan's reaction was quick as well. She immediately took out W and fled.
However, he was surprised that Liu Qingsong's target wasn't Law who he was controlling!
The hook wasn't aiming at where Bao Lan was previously standing. It wasn't aiming at the area where he had teleported away.
It was aiming at the Ice Shooter that Liu Qingsong had teleported forward!
"This hook is a diversion. It's very tricky!" Mille was surprised by Liu Qingsong's performance. "West didn't even react!"
With a teeth-numbing screech, West was hooked by Liu Qingsong!
West was dumbfounded.
'Aren't you aiming for Bao Lan?
Why are you trying to lure me? '
Liu Qingsong's reaction was very fast. He had switched the target of his Q Death Sentence the moment he teleported forward and saw the Ice Shooter. He had caught West off guard!
"Give me your head!"
Lin Yan saw the deep wound left on the Ice Shooter Eich's fair body by the scythe. He was like a shark that had smelled blood.
"Jin Gong's Galio and Taunt Flash continue to control the team. The rest of YM focus their attacks and follow up!"
In the end, Lin Yan's Gatling Gun and normal attacks took the Ice Shooter's life. He happily flew back to the city.
"400 gold coins in hand. Broiler is having a hard time in lane!"
Broiler pursed his lips. He didn't look happy. At that moment, he felt that the whole world was against him.
In the previous round, it was a jungler. In this round, it was a bot lane.
Are you trying to raise a dad and increase the difficulty of the game?
After returning to the city, Lin Yan thought about it. He didn't buy the Red Crystal Crystal that was worth exactly 400 gold coins. Instead, he chose the Dagger and Eye of the Truth that were worth 300 gold coins.
"Liu Qingsong really dares to fight, this flash hook is full of boldness!" Taking advantage of the fact that they had not entered the match-up period, Miller quickly commented.
"As expected of Hammer Stone's specialty. Not only is he skilled, but he's also daring." Remember nodded in agreement.
"For YM, there's another piece of good news. After Ice Shooter died, IG doesn't dare to defend the bottom half anymore. They can only accept YM's forceful invasion!"
After Liu Qingsong's Flash Hook helped his teammate take down the first blood, the two bottom halves were now Xiao Tian's backyard!
And this kind of jungle invasion was a hotbed for YM's four-for-two.
Ning Wang, who was forced to stay in the top half of the jungle, had no time to care about the bottom half!
In other words, within a minute of the game starting, the scales of victory were already tilting towards YM!
