"Zoom's last hit is still 0, there are already two waves of soldiers!" Ze Yuan stood on the commentary platform and shouted exaggeratedly.
Crocodile, who had just teleported back, stood still under the tower and waited for the soldiers to enter the tower before attacking.
Since the Artillerymen had already reached the line and Jin Gong couldn't control the line, there would be a large wave of soldiers pouring into the tower soon.
Zoom, who had nothing to do, didn't want to look at his aggrieved Crocodile anymore. He switched to the screen to observe the middle lane.
He knew that Lin Yan's Ike had learned W [Time Cross] at level one. This skill wasn't very useful at level one, so he was probably being suppressed by Knight …
Then, he saw the situation in the middle lane.
Lin Yan still had 80% health left. He had dealt 10 hits and hadn't used the Decay Potion yet. Zhuo Ding's health was slightly higher, but he had only dealt with 13 soldiers.
"What's going on?"
Zoom was puzzled. Ike was already having a hard time against Sindra in the early game, and he had learned W at level one.
Was that all Zhuo Ding had?
"This guy is too shameless," Zhuo Ding heard Zoom's words and said vaguely, "He's using Time Field to attack the soldiers, I can't wear him down."
He felt irritated just thinking about it.
At level one, he wanted to take advantage of Ike's weakness when he didn't have any skills to move forward and suppress him, but Lin Yan hid behind him and didn't give him a chance to wear him down.
Zhuo Ding was about to retreat when he saw Ike take another step forward.
He wanted to use the Shadow Ball to wear him down, but he saw the black kid waving the happy stick in his hand and the special effect of W [Time Cross] sounded in his ears.
"Bring it on!"
Ike's voice was arrogant.
Zhuo Ding didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore.
Time Field wasn't a joke with Sindra. If he was stunned, he would receive a free set of thunder damage, and Sindra would definitely suffer a huge loss.
He took another two steps back and the location of the Time Field appeared right in front of him.
Lin Yan controlled Ike to enter the Time Field and get a layer of shield. Then, he began to hit the soldiers' heads with his bat. He was as ferocious as Negan, the villain who head-busted Glenn in The Walking Dead.
He finished off all three melee soldiers with low HP before his shield shattered under Sindra's attack.
30 HP. This was the price Lin Yan had to pay for killing 3 minions.
After that, no matter how Zhuo Ding suppressed it, Lin Yan stubbornly stayed under the tower and refused to come out.
When the last ranged soldier in the first wave died, Lin Yan used the experience from the previous two assists to reach Level 2.
After learning Q's [Time Curler], he began to use his skills to attack the low-health soldiers from afar. His control of his HP and distance was quite outstanding. He would only attack when he saw the low-health soldiers.
Under Lin Yan's meticulous control, the minions didn't even push forward.
Although Zhuo Ding had managed to land a Shadow Ball, that was all. He hadn't dealt much damage to Lin Yan.
By the time both of them had reached level 3, Zhuo Ding had only managed to beat Lin Ran three times.
The bottom lane was even more difficult to deal with than the top and middle lanes.
Since TOP had lost to a first-tier team, they were forced to put aside their plan to invade the bottom half of the jungle.
Xiao Tian successfully activated his mana and killed three groups of monsters to reach Level 3. He then went straight to the bottom lane.
"Wine Barrel has also reached Level 3. It seems like both sides are going to have a 3v3 clash in the bottom lane!"
While Ze Yuan was anxiously explaining, Liu Qingsong suddenly threw out a lantern behind him and used Blink. Pendulum of Misfortune successfully brought Policewoman and Karma to his side!
Jack immediately used E [Evil Spirit Arrow Rain] to slow down the movement speed. The battle immediately began!
"Hammer Stone didn't learn from Hook at Level 2. Instead, he used his lantern to pick up the jungler behind him and let him quickly rush to the battlefield!
Spider came to Karma and started attacking. PPGOD can't hold on anymore! "
Blue Buff, Magical Swamp Frog, and Three Wolves. These were the few groups that Spider had the fastest time farming in. Wine Barrel wanted to reach Level 3 in the bottom half of the jungle. He had to deal with the troublesome Gargoyles in the bottom half of the jungle.
Even though Wine Barrel had three AoE skills, it still took him an extra four seconds.
It was this four-second time difference that took the life of the bottom lane of the top lane.
When Wine Barrel arrived, he only saw Karma's corpse and Policewoman, who had used Blink to escape.
Policewoman, who was also Level 2, didn't have E [Rope Net]. She could only rely on her pair of long legs to retreat.
"Kill kill kill!"
Jack used Blink first and used the passive [Desire for Revenge] to increase his attack speed by killing enemies. He shot Policewoman again.
Xiao Tian saw this and used Blink as well. His Q [Highly Toxic Stinger] tore through Policewoman's snow-white and delicate skin.
"Wine Barrel wanted to use Meat Eggs and Onion Chicken to cover his teammates' retreat, but Policewoman's HP is too low!"
When Old Dream was about to retreat to the defense tower, he was killed by Xiao Tian's Human Form Q [Neurotoxin]!
The audience cheered. YM didn't let them down and gained a huge advantage in the early stages!
"0 for 2, YM's bottom lane has opened up!"
Su Xiaoyan watched as Jack pushed the minions into the top's defense tower with the help of his two teammates. "Policewoman has suffered a lot this time. She's going to lose a large number of minions. The last hit advantage that she gained from suppressing the enemy was given away again."
The caster's camera moved to the middle lane. There was another conflict between the mid laners of both sides.
"Ran drank a Corruption Potion and forced a set of attacks. Knight was hit with a Thunderbolt …" Ze Yuanjie said. "What's going on?
Sindra's HP has dropped to almost half! "
Lin Yan, who had just shot out three rings, relied on the acceleration effect to retreat. YM's team logo lit up above his head.
Zhuo Ding looked at Lin Yan, who was still in good condition, and licked his lips nervously.
Lin Yan had just played a trick and gained a lot of advantages. He shot out three rings and a Thunderbolt, which reduced his HP.
At that time, he had handed over the Shadow Ball and accidentally took a Q [Time Curler] from Ike. Lin Yan saw this and immediately used his E [Phase Dive], acting as if he was going to go up and exchange HP.
Zhuo Ding knew that he couldn't interrupt Ike's E skill, but he didn't want to take the damage from the three rings and Thunderbolt.
Therefore, he had to use his E [Weak Retreat] the moment Lin Yan got close to him and push Ike away. This way, Lin Yan wouldn't be able to use his next normal attack, and naturally, he wouldn't be able to hit three rings.
He first moved away from Ike, who was turning around, and retrieved his Q [Time Curler]. He saw Lin Yan make a move and handed over the weak to retreat.
However, to his surprise, Ike only waved his bat in place and didn't move forward at all!
When he saw the weak retreat and hand over the weak, Ike then used the Power of Time to flash to Sindra's side!
Another normal attack was successfully knocked out. Thunder and three circles of damage were dealt at the same time, and Sindra's HP dropped sharply!
This round of exchange HP was a big loss.
Zhuo Ding bit his lip. He knew where the problem was.
After Lin Yan used his E [Phase Dive], he didn't immediately close in. Instead, he moved forward while using Ctrl + 1 to make a motion of swinging his weapon.
It was this motion that tricked Zhuo Ding, making him hand over the weak to retreat first. Lin Yan then used the Blink effect of Phase Dive to counteract the knockback effect and rushed to Sindra's face to complete the exchange.
This relaxed exchange of HP increased Zhuo Ding's mental pressure.
Zhuo Ding didn't know why Lin Yan was so proficient at mixing in these unpopular techniques into his lane. He had never seen a professional player play like this before.
He was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he accidentally missed a minion. He had to let go of the mouse and wipe his sweaty palms on his team uniform.
"Now the top three lanes are all suppressed. This is not what we expected before the game!" Ze Yuan analyzed the situation of the game.
"Especially the bottom lane, Policewoman and Karma are still being suppressed." Su Xiaoyan shook her head. "The defense tower's HP hasn't been reduced by much. This is unacceptable."
Five minutes into the game, YM had widened the economy gap to 2K with only four kills and last hits!
In the middle lane, Lin Yan had successfully exchanged HP again. Zhuo Ding's HP dropped to 13, and he still had half of his HP left after drinking all the Decay Potions.
"Sindra has to return to the city." Ze Yuan frowned. "Knight's lane play is a little rough today."
The comments were very dissatisfied with Zhuo Ding's performance.
[I want to laugh. Sindra was killed by Ike in the early game and returned to the city?]
[Is this the strength of Golden Left Hand?
It's so funny.]
[Go back and practice lane play more. His basic skills are a little weak!]
After clearing the creeps, Zhuo Ding stood under the defense tower and returned to the city.
He was now two bins ahead of Lin Yan, and the economy gap was close to zero. In the next wave of creeps, Lin Yan would obviously push deeper into the defense tower, and then he would complete the last hit and overtake him.
Lin Yan gave him a lot of pressure in lane play.
Zhuo Ding played a round robin in Group B, and the strongest midlaners he encountered were Mi Dehu and Xi Ye.
In the domestic league, Xiao Hu and Guijiao Qi were both amazingly strong. However, in Zhuo Ding's opinion, Xiao Hu's lane play was far from Lin Yan's.
After half a year, Zhuo Ding felt that he was no different from when he was in the German Cup.
He was still young and inexperienced.
He could not figure out Lin Yan's lane play at all.
All kinds of small details allowed Lin Yan to establish a HP advantage in lane play. In this game, Zhuo Ding was only careless once, and Lin Yan firmly grasped the initiative.
It was too difficult.
Zhuo Ding returned to the city to buy equipment and watched as Lin Yan cleanly used up all his mana to push a wave of Cannon Creeps into the defense tower.
Lin Yan's runes were the same as most of the Ike players. The blue runes had three magic resistance runes instead of the normal magic resistance and cooldown reduction.
This way, he did not need to make equipment before level 9. He could clear a wave of creeps with two Q's [Time Curler], and the rest of the Cannon Creeps could be dealt with with with normal attacks.
Six waves of creeps, automatic gold coins, and two assists. Lin Yan successfully made Hex Technology Revolver and True Eye for the first time.
Sindra, on the other hand, only had one Devil's Code.
The equipment gap was slightly widened.
Zhuo Ding, who was unwilling to give up, wanted to take advantage of the time when Lin Yan was not level 6 to try another round of suppression. However, Phyllostachys Pubescens seized the opportunity when he was moving too aggressively and reached the middle lane to gank first.
"Sindra is moving to the bottom half of the zone with Sprint. Wine Barrel of Sorrow has just killed Razorbeak Birds and can arrive at any time!"
"Isn't it too reckless for Lil 'Tian to go head-on?"
As soon as Su Xiaoyan's voice fell, Mongoose used Ascend to jump onto Sindra and viciously bit Sindra!
The next moment, Wine Barrel of Sorrow on the other side of the wall rammed down with his big belly and successfully stunned Spider!
"Sindra, weaklings, retreat and continue crowd-control. They want to kill Spider first!" Ze Yuan shouted.
Lin Yan did not expect Sorrow to be consciously counter-crouching. However, the arrow had already been nocked and had to be released. Xiao Tian had already rushed up, so he could only follow and place W's [Time Stagger] at the bottom of Top's midlaner.
Su Xiaoyan stared intently at the clash between the junglers and the midfielders.
This was one of Top's few chances. If they lost this skirmish, their early game rhythm would be ruined.
The Spider Queen's HP kept dropping. She did not use Blink or Ascend and could only tank the damage output of Top's midlaner.
Xiao Tian also knew that things were going to be bad.
He was so focused on having fun in this game that he did not treat Sorrow as a human. He caught Sorrow wherever he went and played with ease.
However, this inexperienced jungler was not a sheep that could be slaughtered by anyone. He had shown his worth in counter-crouching!
"Sell me! Sell me!" Xiao Tian knew that he was being a little reckless and quickly persuaded Lin Yan to back off.
However, the Temporal Field was about to be completed. Lin Yan dived forward with his Happy Stick and hit Sindra with it.
Zhuo Ding threw his last Shadow Ball right before the Dizzy Effect hit him.
Xiao Tian could not dodge in time and his HP bar was emptied!
"The Spider Queen died, but Ran's Ike did not seem to want to give up. He rushed forward!" Ze Yuan was a little surprised by Lin Yan's choice, but he understood in the next moment.
A normal attack with Hex Technology's passive [Magic Bullet] hit Sindra, and the damage was beyond his imagination!
The Q [Time Curler] hit Sindra again and followed up with a normal attack. The damage from the three rings and thunder reduced Sindra's HP to less than 13!
Zhuo Ding realized that he had underestimated Lin Yan's damage output. Ike, who was at level 5, had a level 3 Q skill. Coupled with the passive damage from Hex Technology's Revolver, his threat to Sindra was not low!
The 2.25-second stun was still ongoing. Zhuo Ding knew that he would definitely eat Ike's recovery Q, and his HP was in danger.
"Ran is still trying to kill Sindra with normal attacks. Now that Sindra's HP is very low, the passive damage of W [Time Intertwined] has been generated!"
When the enemy's HP was lower than 30%, Ike would cause additional magic damage to the enemy that had already lost HP. With one hit and the Time Curler retracted at the same time, the combined damage of the two made Zhuo Ding's HP drop to the bottom in an instant!
However, before the next normal attack was launched, Zhuo Ding finally recovered from the stun and regained control of his body. He suddenly flashed backward to increase the distance between them, and Lin Yan's attack did not hit him!
"Help me stop him!" Zhuo Ding shouted loudly, which was rare for him.
Even if he did not say anything, Sorrow would not watch his mid laner die. His Q [Rolling Wine Barrel] successfully slowed down Ike, and at the same time, he used his fat body to stop Lin Yan from moving forward.
At this time, Sindra used the last few seconds of Sprint to speed up and successfully escaped with more than 30 HP!
The cheers of his teammates came through the team voice chat. Zhuo Ding let out a sigh of relief and hid in the bushes in his own jungle to return to the city.
Zoom suddenly howled, "Watch out for Captain!"
In his top lane perspective, Jin Gong suddenly leveled up.
Captain, who had not returned to the city, relied on the experience of two kills at level one and successfully reached level six in the eighth wave of minions!
"Try this place!" Lin Yan marked the bushes next to the red BUFF.
The next moment, cannon fire roared!
"Captain's ultimate is coming," Ze Yuan took a deep breath and shouted, "He guessed the location of Knight's return to the city!"
Zhuo Ding began to move as soon as he heard the warning from the top lane, but the coverage of Captain's ultimate [Cannon Barrage] was too large, and there was no way he could escape in time!
Zhuo Ding's remaining HP was emptied by a single round of cannon fire!
"One for one," Su Xiaoyan increased the speed of her speech, "This wave of top lane is not profitable. YM traded jungler for mid laner, Sindra has already died twice, and the last period of dominance against Ike is coming to an end."
On the screen, Lin Yan once again pushed a large wave of minions into the first tower in the top lane.
"Sorrow wanted to help block the minions so that his mid laner would not lose as much, but Ran didn't give him the chance. He went up and used a set of three rings!"
Wine Barrel did not have much HP now. Faced with the aggressive Lin Yan, he could only put the minions into the tower and repair the damage with tears and snot. He cried for his mid laner and said that the minions were delicious.
Lin Yan reached level six. He returned to the city to find Grandpa Teemo to buy the Killer's Ring and Straw Sandals, then used [Spacetime Rupture] to return to the middle tower from four seconds ago.
This saved him the need to teleport back and forth. It was a well-known trick of Ike's.
He was a little short of mana, and a few seconds in the spring was not enough for him to recover all his mana.
But it was not a big problem.
Lin Yan would be able to get his mana buff later.
Zoom's people were really stunned.
So far, he had been very successful in resisting pressure. In a situation where neither side's jungler came to the top lane, he was only behind Jin Gong by 10 hits.
It was completely acceptable.
But why did the captain of the opposing team have three kills?
He himself had not died even once!
This captain will have three kills in nine minutes. How am I going to fight?
When he thought of this, his face fell and he did not say anything.
…
"The economic gap between the two sides has been maintained at close to 3K, and there has been no change for a while. Top has gradually adapted to the early game strength given by YM, and is working hard to reduce the economic gap."
The time had reached nine minutes, and there were no new conflicts on the field. It looked like there was no big wave.
Now that all the heroes had reached level six, it was reasonable to say that the period of time after the release of the big moves was the peak period of fighting, but both teams tacitly did not make any moves.
They were all waiting, waiting for the other side to show an opening first.
Soon, Wine Barrel of Sorrow went to the top lane under Zoom's orders, trying to cooperate with Crocodile to launch a surprise attack on Jin Gong. They tried to delay the captain's equipment as much as possible, and at the same time, they could control the vision of the vanguard in the canyon.
Lin Yan saw Wine Barrel's movements through Jin Gong's vision in the upper lane and immediately began to think of countermeasures.
Xiao Tian was also active in the bottom lane. Lin Yan went alone to cooperate with the captain, and it would not be good to keep him. "Go to the bottom lane, we'll 4v2!"
He chose to use YM's unique skill to deal with this problem.
"I can go first, you guys come quickly!"
Liu Qingsong could not hold back his restless thoughts. Until now, only Xiao Tian had come to the bottom lane once. The rest of the time, the two teams on both sides were peacefully developing. He had been itching to start a team for a long time.
At this time, Lin Yan had successfully reached level 9. The Tech Gun, Killer Ring, and Rune Talent provided magic power. It was just enough for him to use his Q [Time Curler] to kill the ranged soldiers.
(Everyone who plays Ike knows, right? I'll remind those who don't play.)
He took Zhuo Ding's skills and used his staff to break the three-ring mark on three melee soldiers, clearing the line of soldiers.
However, Lin Yan did not run directly to the bottom lane. Instead, he retreated to his own tower, causing the top lane to lose sight of him.
At level 8, Zhuo Ding's Q [Shadow Ball] was not enough to clear the ranged soldiers. He had to use other skills to do so, and the remaining three melee soldiers would have to spend extra time dealing with them.
"Ike … I don't think he went to the bottom lane, but he can teleport. You guys be careful." Zhuo Ding used all his skills, successfully clearing the line of soldiers, and quickly ran down.
"Xiao Tian used the Spider Queen's Ascent to land on the Exploding Fruit between the Dragon Pit and TOP's red zone. Then, he used the fruit to jump over the wall and planted a hole for Ran to teleport!"
Seeing this, Ze Yuan could not help but raise his voice. "In five seconds, YM's Nakano has successfully reached the bottom lane!"
Since Xiao Tian used the Exploding Fruit to jump over the wall, he and Lin Yan bypassed the Triangle Grass and directly rushed to the bottom lane from the Gargoyle Camp.
This bypassed TOP's conventional positioning, making it impossible to guard against.
"Old Dreams and ppgod retreated a little too slowly. Spider and Ike have already surrounded them from behind!"
At this moment, the TOP duo's hearts sank.
These two monsters came to the bottom lane too quickly, right?
Were they really here to withdraw money?
Their own mid laner, Zhuo Ding, was still on his way.
They would definitely not be able to wait for reinforcements.
"Crisp used a hook to hit the minions. The second Q flew up, followed by a flash!" Ze Yuan raised his voice. "Hammer Stone has completed a wave of super long range opening!"
With the help of the hook and flash, Hammer Stone's opening range was close to 1500 yards!
The TOP duo was impossible to guard against!
The next moment, everyone's skills rained down. Jack also used a Q from a distance to add damage.
"Policewoman flashed and healed, but she still couldn't escape death. Karma was no exception. Xiao Tian chased him to the bottom of the tower and bit him to death!"
The cheers of the audience had not stopped since Xiao Tian smoothly swung the wire over the wall and inserted the teleportation eye for Lin Yan.
The bullet screen in the live broadcast room was flying.
[This reinforcement speed is too fast. Did they really surround the bottom lane in just five seconds?]
[What a ruthless 4v2. I just can't guard against it.]
[Then why is Sorrow thinking about your top lane?
Policewoman won't help you in the bottom lane, right?]
"Zoom and Sorrow made a mistake in the top lane. Meat Egg Onion Chicken and Crocodile's Cold Hunt overlapped. Gongzi-ge used Tangerine to remove the crowd-control, flashed to adjust the angle, and used Wine Barrel to escape!"
Su Xiaoyan was very surprised. Now the captain only had a sliver of health left. He was hiding under the second tower and happily returning to the city to buy equipment.
A pure meat Wine Barrel and an extremely ordinary Crocodile couldn't kill Jin Gong's captain!
"Mine, mine …" Sorrow blamed himself. "E flashed too early."
Zoom didn't say anything.
He was already numb.
This game had brought him too many surprises. He didn't want to talk at the moment. He just wanted to be quiet.
"YM's four people in the bottom lane successfully got a fire dragon, and they still want to team up and take down the next tower …" Ze Yuan kept his eyes on the map. "Isn't this a bit too much? Sindra has already pushed the minions under the middle tower, and the TOP laner is preparing to take on this wave of vanguard. Is YM going to let it go?"
"They're returning to the city. It looks like YM still doesn't want to give up the canyon vanguard."
On the big screen in the stadium, Ike pressed the return button at the bottom lane's triangle bush, and Liu Qingsong's Hammer Stone dismantled the TOP's True Eye in the triangle bush.
"Sindra has stopped pushing the middle tower. He and Sorrow are moving to the canyon vanguard, ready to take on the vanguard that will spawn in half a minute," Su Xiaoyan explained as she watched everyone's movements on the screen. "Policewoman and Karma have also returned to the bottom lane after reviving. They want to defend this tower and not let YM get the first blood tower's bounty …"
Her tone suddenly became urgent. "What's Ran doing?"
Under the gaze of millions of viewers, Ike, who was in the spring, waved his Z-drive, tore through time, and returned to the bottom lane's triangle bush with the help of Spacetime Rupture!
"He wants to camp TOP's bottom lane again." Zeyuan was also very surprised. He shouted, "He's trying to take advantage of a sheep!"
Liu Qingsong had just dismantled the True Eye in the triangle bush, so TOP had no idea of Ike's movements. Zhuo Ding thought that Nakano was coming to take on the vanguard, so he was prepared to take advantage of his early vision to ambush the heroes that came to fight with Sorrow in the bush.
However, what they didn't know was that YM didn't want this canyon vanguard at all!
For Lin Yan, TOP had already set up their vision in the Dragon's pit in advance. Even if they went back to fight, their chances of winning were very low without any vision advantage.
In that case, they might as well continue to kill the duo at the bottom lane and take the opportunity to dismantle the first blood tower, making a lot of money in one go.
Old Dream and ppgod, who were clearing the minions under the tower, were dumbfounded when they saw the Temporal Field under their feet.
What's going on?
Didn't you go back?
Again?
Ike swooped over the wall with the help of Phase Field and stabbed Policewoman's delicate body with his happy stick!
"Policewoman wants to use her E skill to avoid Ike's Temporal Field, but this skill's movement speed is too slow. She's still stunned in the air!" Zeyuan's voice was as passionate as ever. "Hammer Stone took the opportunity to hook her and continue to control her!"
Policewoman, who didn't dodge and didn't receive any healing, left the keyboard and waited for her death.
"Jack's R [Corruption Chain] shot at Karma in his blind spot under the tower. ppgod has no space to move and is controlled in place. He has to follow his ADC back to the spring!"
After Karma died, Jack healed Lin Yan, who was tanking the tower, and the three of them escaped unscathed.
"You guys take down the tower. I'll go back to the middle lane first."
Lin Yan ordered. After killing the opponent's bottom lane twice, he had obtained a total of three kills. He didn't care about the money for the blood tower, so he might as well leave it for his own duo to eat.
Top, who knew that he had been tricked, was furious. He decisively took down Canyon Vanguard and then gathered the strength of the three of them to go to the middle lane.
"Sorrow directly summoned Vanguard and wanted to take down YM's first tower. However, Xiao Tian and Jin Gong have already rushed to the middle tower to defend!"
Cannon fire roared!
Jin Gong looked at the wave of minions gathered under the tower and decisively used his ultimate skill, Cannon Barrage. Waves of cannon fire washed over the minions.
Canyon Vanguard alone only took out half of YM's first tower's HP. Xiao Tian decisively used a normal attack on the eyes behind Canyon Vanguard, causing high damage. Then, he followed up with a Punishment and successfully killed it!
Now that the minions were gone and Canyon Vanguard was destroyed, TOP had no way to deal with this half-HP YM's first tower!
Zhuo Ding wanted to wait for the next wave of minions to continue to take down the tower with his teammates, but Lin Yan returned to the middle lane in time.
Q's [Time Curler] easily cleared out the rear line of minions, not giving the enemy any chance to take down the tower.
The three TOP players could only retreat and rush back to the top lane, giving up on the plan to take down the middle tower.
Both sides used their first ultimate skills to create a wave of momentum. Now that both sides had temporarily stopped, Ze Yuan, who was standing on the commentary platform, began to analyze the gains made by both sides in this round of confrontation.
"YM ate four kills from the duo at the bottom lane, a fire dragon, and a blood tower at the bottom lane," he said loudly. "On the other hand, TOP's Vanguard didn't achieve the effect they expected. There was only a withered Vanguard bounty and a half-destroyed tower in the middle lane."
"One side lost big, the other side gained big." Su Xiaoyan tucked her short hair behind her ear. "Now the economic gap between the two sides has reached 5K. You know, it's only been 11 minutes. This number is very exaggerated."
When Zhuo Ding saw the Rocket Belt and Spellcaster Shoes in Lin Yan's backpack, even the thought of sacrificing his HP disappeared without a trace.
He only had two small pieces of the Ghost Book and a pair of straw sandals on him. Compared to Lin Yan, his equipment could be said to be very shabby.
If he went up against Ike with this equipment, it wouldn't even be a trade. It would be a one-sided beating.
Knight looked at Lin Yan, who disappeared into the middle lane after pushing the minions, and only felt helpless.
He used to be a top mid laner in the LSPL. However, when he stepped onto the stage of the top league and met Lin Yan, he realized how big the gap was between him and Lin Yan.
He couldn't suppress the lane, and he couldn't gain an advantage by roaming. He was simply sleepwalking in the game.
After following Lin Yan to no avail, he couldn't even look at the bullet screen anymore.
[Is this Golden Left Hand playing Devil God?]
[I'm speechless. If you want to lane, you should stay in the middle lane and farm. If you want to roam, you should be more decisive. Can't you just buy the Spellcaster Shoes first?]
[Roaming blindly here? Lin Yan doesn't lose any soldiers every time he roams. He misses one every time. How can he even hit a hammer!]
[Ran's Ike has 303 stats. He roams around doing things, and his last hit is higher than his 120 Sindra. I'm dying of laughter.]
Lin Yan helped Xiao Tian get rid of a sad group of Razorbeak Birds, and found that his last hit was higher than Zhuo Ding's. He knew where the problem was.
Knight had completely lost his rhythm.
His own strength wasn't so bad, but Lin Yan had led him astray.
Lin Yan used the advantages he had accumulated in the early game to control the lane, and then used his extremely fast lane pushing speed to constantly support his teammates and open up the situation.
Zhuo Ding watched Lin Yan roam and get resources and advantages time and time again. He couldn't sit still and wanted to imitate this style of play.
However, Sindra's hero characteristics made it unsuitable for him to frequently go to the sidelines to support his teammates. Moreover, Zhuo Ding didn't even buy a pair of Spellcaster Shoes. How could he roam with Ike, who could move over walls with his straw sandals?
Plus, he didn't handle some details well, and he broke down as he roamed.
Then he became more and more impatient, and it was a series of vicious cycles.
Lin Yan, who knew where the problem was, didn't intend to be merciful.
Anyway, it was just a regular game, and it was good to let Zhuo Ding learn.
15 minutes later, Lin Yan raided the top lane, cooperating with the captain to kill the crocodile under the tower, and then used the big move [Spacetime Fracture] to move away from Sorrow's pursuit.
17 minutes later, Lin Yan rushed over again and killed the lonely Zoom. Jin Gong was taken care of by ppgod and Zhuo Ding who arrived later, but the tower in the middle lane was destroyed by Jack and Liu Qingsong.
Step by step, one loop after another, YM led the rhythm every time, and TOP could only passively fight. Lin Yan even fused Killer Book after buying Brilliant Light.
The high movement speed provided by Mejia's Soul Stealing Scroll allowed Lin Yan to roam more frequently, and Killer Book was getting thicker and thicker. TOP couldn't deal with Lin Yan at all.
Twenty-one minutes later, Lin Ran managed to sneak up on Zhuo Ding, who was looking into the bushes in a daze.
"Ran's Phase Dive followed by Time Curler, and then Rocket Belt for thunder damage …" Ze Yuan explained another round of conflict that broke out on the scene. "Knight's health dropped to the bottom in an instant. This Ike's damage is too high!"
Zhuo Ding panicked and wanted to use QE to push Lin Yan away, but the moment the shadow ball was about to touch Lin Yan, a golden light flashed, and Ike appeared behind Sindra!
"Beautiful flash!"
Su Xiaoyan couldn't help but cheer for Lin Yan. "He avoided the critical control and killed Sindra with a normal attack with passive damage!"
"This is a one-on-one kill!"
Ze Yuan's expression was exaggerated, and the wrinkles on his forehead were showing. "Ran's game was a textbook performance by Ike!"
Zhuo Ding moved his mouse, wanting to see what else he could buy from Grandpa Teemo.
He closed the shop and opened it again, unconsciously repeating this action twice.
He was a little depressed.
"YM decisively went to the Dragon's pit to force TOP to come out and fight!"
"Give way, give way!"
Ppgod, as the team commander, quickly gave orders to his teammates. "Our Policewoman's equipment is too bad!"
21 minutes later, Policewoman only had Infinity + Yellow Cross + Attack Boots. Her equipment was extremely bad, and she didn't even make a second critical hit equipment.
Now, because [Luana's Hurricane] no longer stacked headshots, the policewoman had to replenish her firepower. If the policewoman's combat power in the middle stage was barely passable before, now she was almost just a tool to push the tower.
(See this chapter for the changes)
With Policewoman's equipment, TOP definitely didn't have the ability to fight.
With Baron Nash's cry, the Dragon was successfully taken down by YM!
After everyone returned to the fountain to replenish their health and buy equipment, they went to the three lanes to push the minions, putting huge pressure on TOP's defense.
"The classic 131 lane. Captain and Ike are two strong solo lanes doing whatever they want. TOP can't do anything to them!"
Su Xiaoyan nodded in agreement. "That's right. Now neither Crocodile nor Sindra can beat YM's two solo lane heroes. This defense tower can't be defended at all."
Half a minute later, the two towers on the top and bottom lanes were destroyed!
"What are Captain and Ike doing?"
Looking at Lin Ran and Jin Gong's movements, Ze Yuan felt that he needed to reevaluate his understanding of the game. "They're going to take a detour from the top and bottom paths to the middle path. They're going to surround the TOP players who are defending the middle second tower!"
"These two are too arrogant to do this in front of the rest of the TOP team!"
"Stop the minions, don't let them leave!"
Lin Yan handed over Q's [Time Curler] and stopped a wave of minions that had just walked out of TOP's middle lane.
Now, wave after wave of minions that were buffed by the Dragon's buff arrived at TOP's middle second tower. There were no more reinforcements behind Zhuo Ding and the others!
Lin Yan and Jin Gong seemed to be using brute force to cut off the so-called 'minions' river!
It was only a matter of time before YM's minions flooded in and destroyed TOP's middle second tower.
Once TOP's last refuge, the defense tower, was destroyed, what awaited them would be YM's ferocious attack!
"Kill back, retreat to the high ground first!" PPGOD could only think of this method in a moment of desperation.
However, Ike, who was holding the Z Drive, waved his bat again.
"Bring it on!"
TOP knew that this was W's [Time Stagger]'s trigger voice.
They didn't even need to think. After the delay, the stun effect of the Time Field would block their retreat!
"Kill him!"
Following PPGOD's shout, zoom suddenly rushed forward. The weapon in his hand glowed with a green light. It was obviously the effect of W's [Grim Hunt].
He wanted to bite Lin Yan and then cooperate with his teammates to kill him!
However, Ike used [Phase Dive] and moved back a short distance, not letting Crocodile bite him.
Zoom then closed the distance with Flash, vowing to control Lin Yan!
"Crocodile has successfully controlled Lin Yan, but Jin Gong has activated his big move, blocking the path of the other four TOP players!"
After the upgrade of Silver Snake Coin, the big move had an additional [Fire at Will] attribute. The additional six waves of bullet screen had a slow effect, delaying the four TOP players from chasing after Lin Yan with Crocodile.
The 1.5 seconds provided by Crocodile's Red Fury W seemed to be a long time, but if they didn't act quickly, it would be easily worn down by the captain's big move.
Therefore, PPGOD decisively activated RE to provide his teammates with group buffs and shields.
At this moment, YM also started a team battle in the front. They wanted to buy time and space for their big brother mid laner!
"Jack Verus's big move Flash hit Wine Barrel, and then Hammer Stone followed up with Hook. This damage output ability is too scary. Sorrow will be the first to be killed!"
In the midst of Guan Zeyuan's roar, Verus' Q [Piercing Arrow] activated the passive [Withering] effect on Wine Barrel. The percentage of his maximum HP magic damage crushed Wine Barrel's HP!
Xiao Tian followed up with Cocoon. The chain of control and high damage caused Sorrow to only be able to throw out one big move before he fell to the ground with a hiccup!
Being attacked from the front and the back made TOP very confused. They didn't know what to do.
The moment Jack started a team battle in the front, Policewoman from Old Dreams also set up a trap at Lin Yan's feet. Zhuo Ding flashed QRE and used all three in a row to kill Lin Yan.
The three Shadow Balls surrounding Sindra emerged from his body and poured into Ike's body one after another.
Policewoman's Yodel Trap successfully restrained Lin Yan's body, but this headshot didn't fly out immediately. Jin Gong's Powder Barrel was already in front of her. If she didn't fire it, there would be big trouble.
As Sindra continued the retreat of the weak, Liu Qingsong suddenly flashed forward and threw out a lantern and [Negary's Crucible]!
Silver-white special effects flashed on Ike's body, and Lin Yan immediately regained his mobility!
R [Spacetime Rupture]!
Ike waved the Z Drive and returned to the position he had been at for four seconds — the center of the captain's big move!
At the same time, the high MP bonus made his big move's HP recovery effect extremely outstanding. His HP bar instantly recovered to 23%!
"No one in TOP was guarding this Hammer Stone, and he was able to save Ike!" No matter how fast Ze Yuan spoke, he couldn't catch up with the intertwining skills on the scene.
When he shouted this sentence, Lin Yan's Ike had already used the Push Rod to his face and Q [Time Curler] followed by a normal attack to hit Old Dream three times!
"Policewoman was instakilled!" Ze Yuan couldn't believe his eyes.
Push Rod + Lich's Bane + Magic Staff + Level 19 Killer Book + Magic Shoes. Lin Yan had instakilled this Policewoman who didn't have any defensive equipment!
Health Bar Vanish!
"TOP's formation has been completely broken. Wine Barrel and Policewoman have been killed one after another. The remaining three people don't have any decent combat power!"
Su Xiaoyan watched as YM chased after the TOP members and killed them one by one. "They've all been wiped out!"
"YM wants to use the Dragon's buff to end this match in one wave!"
24 minutes later, TOP's hub Crystal shattered into pieces!
The first battle was won, and YM was leading 1: 0!
