"YM's army is pressing in, trying to take down IG's middle tower!"
On the big screen, YM's four players were gathered in the middle lane, trying to take down IG's middle tower.
Mille quickly analyzed the situation. "IG's turn is a bit slow. Ice Shooter hasn't arrived yet. Only Nakano and the other two are at the bottom of the tower. Their defensive pressure is quite high!"
As Wine Barrel dropped a pure tank equipment, he didn't dare to go up against the minions. Thus, Slag Giant's ability to clear the minions was limited. Roh was just a decoration.
During this time, IG relied on Broiler's Clockwork to deal with the minions in front of the tower.
However, at 11 minutes and 38 seconds, a Cannon Soldier arrived in the middle lane.
Clockwork alone couldn't clear it!
Previously, after Lin Yan ate Ning Wang's head, he stole a group of IG's Razorbeak Birds and returned to the city to sell Doran's Sword to make up for Yao Guang.
Now that he had Devil's Doctrine + Two Phases in his hands, even though he hadn't reached Airplane's traditional power stage, he had already completed the crushing of his opponent's economy. His combat power was also quite high.
When he saw that Broiler still dared to deal with the minions under the tower, he decisively sent Valkyrie to attack.
On the screen, Clockwork moved left and right, trying to avoid Airplane's skills.
However, Lin Yan didn't use Q [Phosphorescent Bomb] at all. He just used Gatling Gun to refresh his Yao Guang effect. Two normal attacks combined with a missile to reduce Clockwork's health to half.
Seeing his big brother being bullied, Bao Lan finally couldn't take it anymore.
E [Light Dance in Pairs] placed a layer of shield on Broiler and moved to his side. He then used R [Fleeting Gap] to increase his movement speed.
The moment he got close to his teammates, W [Grand Entrance] rushed forward again.
His target was Lin Yan, who was tanking the tower!
Roh's strength now was that he could complete a super long-distance teamfight in an instant with his big moves and various skills, and his control was very good.
This made Roh a hero full of miracles. Even if his economy was ten thousand behind, he could still use crowd control to make the opponent's scalp numb.
Sapphire had started practicing when Luo had just entered the Alliance. Even though the efficiency of training heroes wasn't high, the heavens rewarded the diligent. After one and a half months of hard work, his Luo had made some progress.
E + R + W, Bao Lan's combo was extremely fast. She wanted to work with her teammates to kill YM's most developed player, Lin Yan.
As long as Lin Yan died, IG would not only be able to reap a sizable bounty, but they would also be able to break YM's momentum!
Luo's body successfully stuck to Lin Yan's body through her grand entrance. The charm effect had already been activated!
After 0.35 seconds, Luo would send him flying.
Together with the other skills of his teammates, they could definitely kill this arrogant face jumping airplane!
But in the blink of an eye, the ten contestants on stage could still hear the exclamations of the audience through the soundproof headphones!
Just as Luo was about to lift the plane, Lin Yan suddenly pressed the purify button.
A silver-white special effect flashed, and the negative status effect instantly dissipated!
Lin Yan, who had been freed from the Charm effect, decisively used Flash and retreated to increase the distance between them!
The DF second company's time was limited.
In the next moment, Luo Shengkong was sent flying. The clockwork magic puppet also moved to the position where Lin Yan had been charmed!
"Bao Lan still couldn't control Ran!" Her voice was trembling with excitement. "He really dared to control it!"
"Luo realized that she had lost control and wanted to quickly return to her teammates, but it was too late!"
Taking advantage of the time when Luo Shengkong lifted his body, Xiao Tian decisively threw out [Extreme Frost Hell]!
Extreme Frost Lasso froze Luo in place!
In the next moment, Liu Qingsong's hook caught up and hit Luo's body!
"Catch me!"
Bao Lan thought that she could still run. After all, Broiler still had the deterrence of an ultimate skill, and with Ning Wang's protection, YM's damage shouldn't be high enough …
But the speed at which her health bar was disappearing was beyond her imagination!
Lin Yan's damage alone had reduced Luo's health by more than half. Close to 12 minutes later, Lin Yan had already reached level 10.
On the other hand, Bao Lan's Luo was still a bit short of level 7.
With a level difference of 4 levels and Lin Yan's luxurious equipment, Luo was easier to kill than the Tank Cannon!
Even with the shield provided by the clockwork magic puppet, it couldn't withstand such high damage. When Luo recovered from the control, his health bar was already very low.
Bao Lan thought that she could still be saved. Her second stage E [Dance in Pairs] wanted to stick to Broiler and escape.
However, Lin Yan's last bullet followed Huan Lingluo and took away Bao Lan's last health bar.
Lin Yan's confidence in using his reaction speed to lure Bao Lan's aggro caused an uproar in the live stream!
[What a fast hand!]
[It feels a little scripted. Ran's reaction speed is ridiculous!]
[Isn't that too fierce?
I'm in Buddha!]
Bao Lan looked at his black and white screen and was speechless.
He didn't expect Lin Yan's reaction to be so fast.
If he was the one being hit by Luo, Bao Lan felt that he would definitely be sent flying. Purification wouldn't be able to get rid of the control effect. If he followed up with a chain of skills, the plane would definitely die.
"Luo died in mid-air. Even though Han Bing rushed over, IG, who is lacking in soldiers and generals, has no way to defend this defense tower!"
West, who didn't even have a pair of straw sandals, arrived late. However, the health bar of the first tower had been reduced by YM. He and his teammates could only retreat to the second tower.
Under Mille's commentary, the first tower in the middle lane, which was the most important defense point in the early stages of IG, was destroyed!
Once the middle tower was destroyed, IG's field of vision was instantly reduced.
Broiler was very frustrated.
Lin Yan was controlling the plane to solo the bottom lane. However, he hadn't used his Canyon Vanguard yet.
This meant that Lin Yan had the ability to solo the bottom lane at any time.
As such, IG's defense was very difficult to arrange.
Broiler, who was average, couldn't guard Lin Yan alone. They needed two people to defend the bottom lane.
However, with this arrangement, they didn't have enough troops on the front line.
The Shy's tower hadn't been destroyed yet. He was being dragged by Jin Gong to continue to fight the top lane. Now, there were only two people left who could defend the middle lane!
Under normal circumstances, they could only stay under the second tower and eat the leftovers that YM pushed over. Their lives were very miserable.
Moreover, the most important field of vision, the middle lane, was completely lost. Hero even had to rely on the second tower to eat troops. This made IG's originally weak field of vision even worse.
"YM's field of vision is very interesting. They invested all their vision in IG's jungle and treated the opposite jungle as their home. Hammer Stone is doing very well now."
As soon as Mille finished speaking, Liu Qingsong, who was crouching in the jungle, hooked Ning Wang, who wanted to take advantage of the army line to kill the beasts.
Jack followed up and waved his Feather Blade to lower Ning Wang's health. Then, he used a Barb to control him.
Although Ning Wang was a tank, he couldn't withstand this kind of control and damage. The kill was successfully taken by Jack.
"Crisp, it's him again!"
Remember to shout. "His performance in this match is too eye-catching. His hook hit rate can only be described as exaggerated!"
"From what I remember, his hook was never free in this match!" Mille chimed in from the side, appropriately flattering the newcomer in his eyes.
He looked down at the information booklet on the commentary platform.
As Crisp's appearance was very sudden, Mille deliberately looked for his resume during the break. When the teams in the Spring Competition revealed their roster, Mille had prepared his copy. However, who would have thought that he wouldn't be used in the entire Spring Competition?
Mille memorized the player's name on the information booklet.
Liu Qingsong.
"Drag it out a little longer. Wait for the Canyon Vanguard's buff to disappear." Ning Wang, who hadn't revived yet, encouraged his teammates in the team voice chat.
Broiler looked at the time and let out a sigh of relief.
The Canyon Vanguard's buff could only last for four minutes. Now, there was only a little time left. This also meant that his suffering was about to end.
"You guys gather first. I'll go back home and pick up the explosives!"
Lin Yan pushed the minions to the bottom lane's first tower. Then, he used the Canyon Vanguard's enhanced teleport effect to return to the spring to replenish his equipment.
Airplane's passive explosive cooldown was the same as Canyon Vanguard's, which was four minutes.
At the Canyon Vanguard in the previous wave, Lin Yan had used a special delivery ahead of time to seal the path. Therefore, when the Canyon Vanguard's buff was about to disappear, the explosive cooldown was also over.
It hadn't been long since Lin Yan's last teleport. Even though he had killed Bao Lan and received a Blood Tower's bounty, he still didn't have enough gold coins to buy the Power of Three Realms.
After buying the Longsword, Red Crystal, and One True Eye, Lin Yan picked up the explosive that had just been generated.
It could take off at any time!
With a long siren, the heroic bombardier, Colonel Cook, shouted excitedly.
Broiler heard the alarm and knew that YM was about to launch the next wave of attacks. However, he didn't know where Lin Yan's Vanguard was going to be placed.
The remaining two towers in the middle lane had extremely high strategic value. Broiler's intuition told him that YM would launch a siege on this tower.
Even if something went wrong, the middle lane was the shortest distance to the top and bottom lanes. He simply called for his teammates to gather in the middle lane.
"The IG players don't know where Vanguard is going. They can only wander around the middle lane. They don't even dare to enter the jungle. YM can see everything there. If they enter rashly, they might be caught and killed!"
On the screen, the IG players were like ants on a hot pan as they waited for Vanguard to appear.
With the Canyon Vanguard's roar, the IG players' spirits were lifted.
The four-minute torture was finally coming to an end.
Vanguard breathed in the fresh air in the canyon. It looked at the top lane in the distance and was ready to show off its skills!
Broiler saw that Vanguard had appeared in the top lane. He was prepared to let go of the first tower to let his teammates develop for a while. As long as they didn't hit the second tower, everything would be fine.
However, he suddenly realized that The Shy, who had been silent in the team voice chat, was still in the top lane and hadn't returned!
IG's communication problems were finally exposed.
The Shy's current level of Chinese was at a level where he could only understand some professional terms. Broiler and Ning Wang, the two team commanders, had only been exchanging information before and hadn't reached a clear conclusion.
Under normal circumstances, Broiler wouldn't translate all these information.
Firstly, it was very troublesome. He had to say the same sentence twice. Secondly, he had to take care of the operation. Translating too much information would inevitably distract him.
This caused The Shy to have no idea what these people were thinking at all.
Like the rest of the team, he only knew YM's goal when he saw where Vanguard appeared.
However, it was too late to retreat now.
"Can you leave?
Hand over the teleport and retreat. They will definitely kill you! "Ning Wang was anxious. He spoke a lot faster and even had a slight accent.
The Shy, who had just learned Chinese, was dumbfounded.
Lee Jae Naga?
Broiler's reaction was very fast. He seamlessly switched languages. "Run!
Chenglu, run! "
The Shy understood and quickly spoke in Korean.
Broiler understood quite well.
The Shy wanted to start a fight on the spot.
This canyon Vanguard would not only attract IG's defense, but it would also indicate the direction of YM's attack.
Furthermore, YM's key point, Lin Yan, had not finished his dual summons. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As long as Princes could EQ Lin Yan and send him flying, a set of skills would definitely be able to finish off this plane of 4 kills and 0 deaths.
Broiler also knew that this plan was completely feasible after hearing it.
However, the other three teammates didn't know yet. They eagerly waited for Broiler to translate.
At times like this, Broiler's mouth could not stop. He continuously served his four teammates until his mouth was dry.
Even though Broiler's translation ability was quite good, it still needed time!
The Shy first said it once, then he translated it. This back and forth took a few seconds.
In this critical moment, these few seconds were enough to affect the balance of victory and defeat.
"YM has already set up their positions. They want to kill and take the tower!"
Jack's Xia swaggered out from the bushes behind IG's tower. Beside her was Xiao Tian's Piggy Sis.
"Jin Gong is already pushing the line. The Shy is under the tower, surrounded on all sides!"
The director was very good at acting. He specially zoomed out the camera. Now, The Shy was standing under the tower with a halberd in his hand. YM was attacking from all directions. IG was still a long way from the top of the tower.
The scene was very shocking.
Lin Yan, through his vision modification and the vision set up by his teammates in IG's jungle, understood the opponent's intention to come to the top lane to provide support.
In for a penny, in for a pound, Lin Yan directly handed over the explosive pack!
The burning path extended from the bushes behind IG's tower to the edge of the map.
It directly sealed off the top lane!
In this way, if IG wanted to provide support on the top lane, they would have to step on the fire.
Lin Yan's explosive pack also wiped out a wave of minions that were about to reach the top lane. He had more than a hundred gold coins in his pocket.
"Now, IG's tower is completely an island. IG is blocked halfway!" He remembered that he did not expect Lin Yan to do things so ruthlessly. He even cut off the other side's escape route.
"This is so tragic!
What can The Shy do? "Mille felt wronged for The Shy.
As soon as he finished speaking, The Shy really started to move.
Demacia Princes' halberd in his hands was crazily thrusting forward and backward. It was like a final taunt to the world.
Jack returned the favor.
Xia's body also started to twitch. Her pink feather coat kept spinning.
The audience saw The Shy, who was facing the camera at the bottom right corner of the live broadcast room, suddenly grinning. His black-rimmed glasses looked very scary.
The audience also gave timely cheers and applause.
Xiao Tian used his thick Piggy Skin to take the lead in tanking the tower. He just had to apply the Frost effect and wait for Jin Gong to come forward and trigger it.
It was very simple.
The Shy did not even have room to maneuver.
If five packs of one could still be defeated by the opponent, Lin Yan and the others should not play professionally. They should just pack up and go home to raise pigs.
"Give me the kill, give me the kill!" Lin Yan still wanted to eat the kill. When he played Airplane, the word 'solo' stood out.
Although he used this type of hero to roam, he basically ate all the gains he gained from roaming.
However, no one had any objections.
The main thing was that Lin Yan was too stable with this type of hero. He could deal damage with the economy. There would definitely not be any ridiculous maneuvers like a ten-second team battle and nine-second movement.
After receiving another kill, Lin Yan rushed towards Godly Transcendent.
Canyon Vanguard also started to play its role. Its damage was now too high. With just one hit, IG's first tower was already on the verge of collapse.
"The special delivery's flame belt has finally disappeared. IG rushed over, but now they can only retreat to the second tower!"
Canyon Vanguard continued to move forward after tearing down the first tower. Its health was still very healthy. It looked like it would not be difficult to hit it again.
Liu Qingsong walked towards IG's jungle. He cleared the enemy's field of vision along the way and smoothly touched the side of IG's second tower.
From this position, it was very likely to hit the enemy hiding in the second tower's blind spot.
"Liu Qingsong's hook is out …" He remembered that he was full of expectations when he saw Hammer Stone make a move. After all, in the past ten minutes, Liu Qingsong's every hook would have a gain.
Unfortunately, this hook was empty.
"Canyon Vanguard knocked down IG's second tower and lost nearly half of its health. It has finally completed its mission!"
IG hurriedly dealt with Canyon Vanguard.
"YM turned to the middle lane. They want to take advantage of the time difference to tear down the second tower in the middle lane!"
This tactic of quickly turning to plunder resources caught IG off guard.
By the time they rushed to the middle lane, the entire upper half of the jungle was controlled by YM. All of IG's actions were under the watch of Lin Yan and the others.
"Pig Girl and Galio went forward. IG did not dare to defend at all. They could only give up the second tower in the middle lane. In just 15 minutes, they are already 6.5K behind in economy. It looks like they are at a disadvantage …"
Mille suddenly reacted. "Then YM's strategy is very profitable. If they only used Canyon Vanguard to push down the middle tower, they would not have been able to kill The Sh and push down the first tower."
"This is the decision-making ability of a team," Remember exclaimed. "Even though YM's strategy in Canyon Vanguard in the early stages of the summer competition repeatedly had problems, they were still as decisive as ever when it came to controlling the dominant game!"
It was true that YM was good at controlling the dominant game. This was their secret to being invincible. Until now, no team had been able to withstand their dominant game attack.
However, to be able to use the mid and late game double archer system in this meat tank version and gain such a huge advantage in the early and middle stages, they definitely needed the cooperation of the opponent.
IG was a top actor.
It was difficult to find a team in the entire Alliance's playoffs that was worse at controlling the dominant game than IG.
Even though Hanyi had the intention to train them to control the dominant game and their vision, it was still not enough.
It was mainly because the team's command and communication were not timely.
Usually, the main call to command was Ning. Broiler would sometimes give his own suggestions. However, the other three were like mutes. They would only say a few words when they were fighting.
The communication problem was also obvious in the later stages. For example, The Sh and the team had different opinions on whether to defend the first tower.
However, this disagreement had to be translated by Broiler before being passed on to the other team members. The invisible delay could cause an opportunity to disappear in the blink of an eye.
In the early stages, the team's coordination might only be a scattered combination of midlaner, top laner, and top laner. Most of the time, Broiler could take care of it. If that was not possible, he could also use signal markers.
However, in the middle and late stages, professional matches emphasized more on teamwork. IG's scattered playstyle would not work. It was very easy for the opponent to find an opportunity when they were at a disadvantage.
Previously, they had achieved eight consecutive victories in small matches mainly because there were very few teams in Group A that could win against IG.
The Sh's solo suppression ability when he was not injured was unparalleled. The new West and Bao Lan's teamwork was not bad. The old Dean Broiler did not need to be mentioned. He rarely collapsed in lane battles. Those who were not suppressed by him could be considered a top LPL mid laner.
They often had a 3-4 K economic advantage in the first fifteen minutes of lane battles. Then, they used Canyon Vanguard to snowball their way to the end of the match. There was no such thing as a disadvantage.
However, YM and IG's lane skills were not much different. In addition, they had just defeated Canyon Vanguard's 4v2. Their overall rhythm in the early stages was much stronger than IG's.
This revealed their weakness.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that it would be very difficult for IG to make a comeback in this match.
However, Bao Lan did not give up. He returned to the city and bought two True Eyes. Then, he rushed to the jungle with the fully charged Eye Stones. He wanted to take back control of his own jungle.
However, it was useless. His three False Eyes and one True Eye could not even control half of the jungle.
Moreover, he was ambushed by the immoral Lin Yan when he was dismantling YM's True Eyes.
It was a simple Valkyrie dive, phosphorescent bomb, normal attack, and super missile. Bao Lan only reacted at this time and used his ultimate to escape.
However, before Bao Lan's W [Grand Entrance] flew out, Lin Yan had already fired a bullet. Bao Lan's health dropped to a critical level.
Then, he followed up with a missile!
"The Grand Entrance's stun effect has not ended. Luo did not even have the chance to turn around and dodge the skill. Ran successfully completed a solo kill!"
Lin Yan was overjoyed.
He and Bao Lan were five levels apart. With the buff from the Devil's Three Forms, it was much easier to kill Luo than to kill him. The gold reward was also quite high.
Moreover, this kill allowed Lin Yan to advance a small step on the solo kill leaderboard.
No wonder mid laners liked to be support killers. Who wouldn't like this kind of method of farming money and solo kills?
However, at this time, the game was suddenly paused.
Mille adjusted his headset and received a message from the director.
"There's a small problem with YM's support Crisp mouse." He reported the situation to the audience. "However, it will be solved soon. Everyone, please be patient."
[Can't you hurry up?]
[There's no suspense in this game. Why are you still dragging it out?]
The director had nothing to do. He focused the camera on the ten professional players in the stadium.
The ten of them had different expressions. However, overall, IG's mood was more negative.
Especially Broiler. His face was gloomy. All he could think about was finishing the game as soon as possible and returning to base to review. He wanted to understand why YM suddenly became enlightened.
He had the same thoughts as the audience. He felt that there was no suspense in this game. Continuing to play would only add to the shame.
Why wasn't the pause over yet?
Broiler looked at YM's player bench with a gloomy face. He wanted to see the pause progress.
This scene naturally did not escape the cameraman's control. He quickly focused it on the big screen.
However, the audience seemed to have a different interpretation of Broiler's behavior.
[West is lowering his head and biting his fingers. Is Broiler staring at Bao Lan?
His gaze is so scary!]
[GG, this is the first time I've seen Broiler's expression. It looks like he's really anxious about losing?]
[World Famous Painting]!
[The support gap is the biggest in this game, right?
He's being taught a lesson by Luo and Hammer Stone. If he doesn't play well, he can't even glare at him?]
[This is a bit like S5 Broiler covering his face and laughing at the Gemini Stars. Hahaha!]
[There's also IG's reaction before and after when Fat General played the famous Hellfire scene … I found something strange. Why is there always a Broiler?]
Broiler, who was sitting in the player bench, did not expect that his glance would be saved by countless audience members and spread around as a joke.
The game began quickly. YM did not drag it out anymore. They continued to speed up their pace.
At the 23rd minute, YM won the team battle with the help of the Dragon's buff and took advantage of the momentum to end the game!
"YM let one catch two and successfully defeated the first place of the group, IG!"
"Congratulations to YM!" Remember said. "They seem to have found a way to deal with Canyon Vanguard!"
