July 23rd, Shanghai Zhengda Square.
Half an hour before the start of the match, the place was already full.
Black and red and gold colors clashed with each other in the audience. The black and red colors that represented YM had a slight advantage, but it was not an overwhelming advantage.
This was rare in the LPL regular season. After all, there were very few teams in the LPL that had more fans than YM.
However, their opponent today was RNG, which naturally belonged to the 'very few' team.
RNG had bid farewell to looper and mata, the two champions, during the S6 winter transfer period. They had brought in Shi Senming from YM, and then pulled in the previously unknown letme to form a full Chinese squad.
The boss favored this group and naturally attracted a lot of fans.
The full Chinese squad was a bonus in the LPL, but it did not play a decisive role.
OMG was also a full Chinese squad, but after the retirement of the older generation of Planet Light, 59e's fans were obviously getting weaker and weaker. Even Huazi could not save them.
In competitive sports, everything depended on the results.
Even though RNG had a smooth season in the regular season, they were defeated by Endless Dream's red and white WE team in the semi-finals of the playoffs. Although they had a lot of fans, they were far from YM. Most of them were barely supported by the fans brought by Ouze.
However, in the summer competition, the chemistry between them had pushed RNG's strength to another level. So far, they had won all eight games in the regular season and were temporarily ranked first in the Alliance!
Coupled with the bonus of winning the Intercontinental Championship, RNG's popularity was very high.
Teng Jing also smelled the ferment of public opinion and began to intentionally or unintentionally use the media to create momentum for RNG.
It was still the same sentence. They could not let YM dominate.
In terms of competition operations, it was necessary to establish an opponent that seemed to be on par with YM. Lonely Seeker obviously did not fit the definition of competitive sports.
Without an opponent that was on par with them, how could they attract the attention of the audience?
It was like broadcasting the Big Demon of Table Tennis beating Ai Fukuhara every day. Watching Ai Fukuhara cry twice was quite refreshing, but after a while, the audience felt that it was boring.
In terms of celebrity packaging, Teng Jing didn't want to put all his eggs in YM's basket. Changes in versions, age, and other factors could cause the strength of celebrity players to decline.
Once a few celebrity players in YM had such a problem, it was obviously unscientific for Teng Jing to immediately package a celebrity. They had to make plans early and leave some backup plans.
Under the combination of many factors, RNG, who wasn't weak on paper, naturally became Teng Jing's target.
Teng Jing had started to create a commotion a week before the competition. There were even battle posters of the two teams on the front page of the League of Legends app.
This was already a highly anticipated showdown. Coupled with the media's promotion, this regular season game attracted countless viewers.
Those who could buy tickets around Shanghai came to watch the match live. More people gathered in front of their computers and stared at the 20-inch computer screen, waiting for the highlight of the match.
"If you win the first match today, then continue to fight." In the YM lounge, before going on stage, White Crescent was still communicating with Liu Qingsong. "If you lose the first match, I'll have to change to another Prophet."
"You have to be mentally prepared."
Liu Qingsong subconsciously licked his lips. He was a little nervous.
Ever since YM came up with the Censer system, they had been practicing harder, trying to adapt to this new strategy as soon as possible.
However, Liu Qingsong's recent performance on soft supports was indeed more average. He was better at roaming hard supports that took on a certain amount of team missions.
In the Censer system, the Prophet's performance was better than Liu Qingsong's.
They didn't need to roam. They only needed to stay in the early stages to develop. After making the Censer, they would bring the ADC to take the vanguard in the canyon, then push the line and hit the tower to expand their advantage.
It was very simple and didn't require any other skills.
The Prophet's most lousy vision and roaming were perfectly covered by the Censer system.
However, White Crescent still decided to let Liu Qingsong start today.
He felt that Liu Qingsong's spirituality and potential were stronger than the older Prophets. He was more worthy of training.
After the five YM players went through the security check, they hugged their keyboards and mouse peripherals and met the RNG team at the entrance of the player tunnel.
"Today, we've prepared a generous gift for RNG," Lin Yan said mysteriously to Xiao Hu. "You guys have to accept it."
"Generous gift?" Mi De Hu smiled strangely. "We also have a generous gift to give..."
"You guys are talking about the same gift?" Ren Dong, who was waiting, asked curiously.
"Hehehe," Shi Senming began to laugh again. "We really do have a generous gift. We're not lying."
Spicy Saucepan couldn't hold it in anymore. "Today, YM is going to lose. Like I said, even Jesus can't save you guys!"
"Liu Shiyu, I remember you guys said the same thing in the Spring Season," Lin Yan retorted.
Saucepan's face turned red, and he didn't say anything.
They did say that before, but they couldn't beat YM every time.
Now that they thought about it, they didn't have much confidence.
Ouze stood at the back of the team with his arms crossed. His expression was cold as if he was pretending to be cold. He looked like he was on good terms with his teammate Mi De Hu.
Today, his desire to win was still very strong.
It was the first time he had tasted the fruits of the Intercontinental Tournament. Naturally, it couldn't satisfy Ouze. His desire grew.
He wanted to chase after the incomparably wonderful taste of the championship again and again.
Today, Ouze was still very confident.
So far, RNG had won eight consecutive big matches and sixteen wins and two losses in small matches. Last week, they had even swept Team IG with The Sh and Rookie as the core with a score of 2: 0.
Other than their impressive results, RNG had also relied on their analyst Gou Ba to come up with a new system of tactics. In the last match, they had beaten Team IG to a pulp.
This was the basis of Ouze's confidence.
"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the 2017 LPL Summer Season!"
Doll on the commentary platform said loudly, "The long-awaited battle of the spotlight is about to begin. The winner of Group B, RNG, will face off against the winner of Group A, YM!"
A battle of the spotlight naturally needed suitable commentators — Mille, the Haier brothers of Doll, and Remember. They were the three best commentators in the current division.
After reading the announcer's announcement, Doll put down his card. Today, he stood in the center of the commentary platform, separating Mille from Remember.
Doll was a little happy to see this.
Last year, he and Mille had done a good job commentating, but Remember had insisted on joining in.
If he wanted to interrupt, then so be it. He remembered that he had to drag his original partner, Miller, to talk about his understanding of the game, but he couldn't get a word in. As the saying goes, '28 years old that year, standing on the commentary platform like a minion'.
Now, it was easy. He used his body to build a physical wall between Mille and Remember.
Let's see how the two of you will talk.
"Today's audience is very enthusiastic." Mille adjusted his headset. He could feel the passion of the audience. "Everyone has high expectations for this match."
"Yes," Remember said in a sarcastic tone. "The key is that both teams are currently at the top of their respective groups. Apart from this regular season, if they want to meet again, they will have to wait until the Summer Season finals."
"Both teams are in a good state. YM has won every game since they defeated IG before the Intercontinental Championship. They have regained their dominance from the Spring Season." Doll nodded in agreement. "This time, it's still unknown who will win!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the broadcast changed the screen. The BP broadcast had begun!
"RNG has chosen the blue side. They have banned Princes, while YM has banned Zach, who is still dominating the T1 jungler position!"
Old Ba Xiang's Warrior Zha Ke was no longer the same as before. He was no longer the weak chicken that could shoot four arrows with one shot. After the mid-season update, he had soared into the sky. Now, he was one of the red team's fixed bans. No one dared to use him.
Firefox, wearing a white shirt and tactical goggles, sent Xiao Tian's Spider to the ban position.
"Should we ban Hammer Stone?" Xiao Tian turned to ask White Crescent. "I think they're going to steal it."
Xiao Ming's Stone Hammering could be considered one of his unique skills. His performance in the competition was very eye-catching. The blue team's RNG did indeed have the possibility of banning Liu Qingsong's Stone Hammering.
More importantly, Hammer Stone was a hero that countered the Censer system in YM's eyes.
Although his offensive capabilities were not insanely strong, he had a hook that allowed him to hide in the bushes.
If he hid in the bushes, the Censer's support would have to be hidden. Otherwise, he would be hit by the hook in the dark.
This made things worse for Censer's duo, who already had very little vision in the bottom lane, even worse.
"How about we don't ban him and let Lucian out at the same time?"
White Crescent communicated with Lin Yan. "You might be under more pressure this way. RNG might just steal Lucian as the mid laner."
"But there's also an advantage. They have to choose between Hammer Stone and Lucian. If RNG steals Hammer Stone, you can get Lucian."
Lin Yan thought for a moment and felt that it was a good idea. "Then if they steal Lucian, should we take Hammer Stone?"
"Why not?" White Crescent said matter-of-factly. "Is there a reason not to play a strong hero?"
"At most, we'll just push the Censer strategy back a little."
Xiao Tian followed White Crescent's instructions and banned Sindra.
On the other side, Firefox was stunned for two seconds when he saw YM's ban choice. Then, he quickly went to communicate with Xiao Hu.
"RNG banned Pig Girl in the third round. Eh, this …" Mille hissed, not understanding.
Now, other than Pig Girl, Wine Barrel and Excavator were the only strong junglers left outside.
RNG gave the last ban position to Pig Girl in the first round. YM would definitely not ban junglers. Wouldn't the remaining two junglers still be one on each side?
He didn't figure out what this ban position meant. It didn't seem to be very valuable.
He remembered rubbing his chin. Inspiration flashed through his mind, but when he thought about it again, he couldn't grasp it.
The coaches of both sides had already fought a wave of skills.
Firefox's purpose of banning Pig Girl was obvious. He wanted to make YM uncomfortable before the BP.
He saw White Crescent's intention of letting Lucian disrupt their BP.
With Pig Girl banned, if RNG snatched Hammer Stone and YM got Lucian, Firefox could get the jungler Wine Barrel in the second or third round.
This left Xiao Tian with Excavator as a strong jungler. Excavator's combined attack with Lucian's jungler wasn't bad, but there was one fatal point.
The jungler was full of physical damage characters. This lineup would lack AP damage.
In this case, they could only let Jin Gong make up for it.
There were two choices, Kenan and Rambo.
Firefox planned to take out the former in the second or third round along with the jungler position, leaving Jin Gong with only Rambo left.
This hero would definitely be suppressed against Kenan, and it would be very easy for the jungler to get past the tower. Spicy Saucepan could go to the top lane regularly to withdraw money.
This way, YM's system would definitely have a gap.
As for why YM didn't choose to ban Wine Barrel at the same time they picked Lucian in the first or second round …
The answer was simple.
White Crescent didn't have a choice. This path was blocked.
If they chose Wine Barrel, then RNG would definitely get Spear of Vengeance.
At that time, RNG's bottom lane would get the Shadow Island combination of Callista + Hammer Stone.
This was the strongest hero combination in the version, plus Ouze's strong laning ability. Jack and Liu Qingsong couldn't handle it at all — they weren't the main laners in the first place.
Once the bottom lane was crushed, YM would most likely be finished this game. No matter how strong Censer was, it couldn't make up for such a disadvantage.
As a result, White Crescent could only let Jack snatch Callista first, but this made it difficult again.
RNG's second and third choices would get Wine Barrel and Kenan, and YM would have a hard time taking care of Jin Gong's Rambo. Once this hero started dying, he couldn't stop. You could not help him catch, but you couldn't let Rambo die.
There was only one solution left for White Crescent — ban Callista in the last red lane.
This way, they could get Wine Barrel, but the price they had to pay was to let Ouze get Policewoman, who was weaker in lane suppression but stronger in pushing.
White Crescent also knew what Firefox, who had worked with him in LGD, wanted to do, but they were destined to only be able to defend in the first round of BP. He had no choice but to ban Spear of Vengeance.
"RNG got Hammer Stone first, and YM got Lucian and Wine Barrel!"
Firefox's second and third choices were not unexpected, and he locked onto Policewoman and Excavator.
White Crescent's last choice was Verus. This hero had longer arms than the average ADC, so he wouldn't be at a disadvantage against Policewoman. He could also be used as a tool to assist Censer.
In the second round of BP, both sides attacked the positions of the heroes that their opponents had not locked onto.
YM banned Princes and Big Tree. These were both strong characters in letme's hero pool. White Crescent did not choose to ban Xiao Hu's hero pool. In his opinion, as long as Lin Yan got Lucian, there would be no suspense in the middle lane matchup.
The top lane was a lane that needed to be targeted.
Letme, who did not perform well in the Spring League and was given the nickname "Emperor Jean" by the fans, had improved his performance after the Intercontinental Cup.
He was similar to Xiao Tian. They were both typical people who did not have strong self-confidence and doubted themselves easily.
However, Phyllostachys Pubescens was currently only keeping these emotions off the field. On the field, he was very confident in his performance, and his decisions were quite decisive.
Letme, on and off the field, was not the same. It was easy for him to not get feedback from his teammates. Sometimes, his hands would tremble when he was playing the lane, and he did not know how to play.
The solution to this problem was very simple. Keep winning, keep winning, and the players would not have confidence problems.
That was what RNG was doing now. With 16 wins and 1 loss, they had already created the best record in the team's history and won the Intercontinental Cup. Once letme had confidence, he dared to operate.
Old Yin Coin White Crescent planned to beat letme back to its original form in this game.
On the other hand, RNG banned Boulogne and Tam, two hard supports that leaned towards protection. It was clear that they wanted to target Liu Qingsong. Firefox did not want him to carry Jack.
However, after seeing RNG's last two bans, everyone in YM laughed out loud.
The five players and the coach, six people laughed really hard. Jin Gong even had wrinkles on his forehead. With the wrinkles on his face, he looked quite old.
Fortunately, his bangs slightly covered his forehead. Otherwise, the next day, the marketing account would start to say "Shock!
The 70-year-old man is actually the top laner of the champion ".
Xiao Tian was lying on the table and laughing secretly, afraid of being caught by the camera.
Lin Yan and Jack high-fived in celebration. Their faces were blooming with smiles.
The audience below the stage and in the live broadcast room noticed the change in YM's player seats.
[Where's Phyllostachys Pubescens's head?
Give me back my turtle!]
[They're laughing?
Is YM starting again?]
[I'll take a screenshot first. I have a hunch that this will be a famous scene. After this game, I'll use this screenshot to slap YM's face!]
"YM's smile … is a bit exaggerated." Mille smiled kindly. "Did something hit their funny spot?"
"Not really." Doll was puzzled. "I think everything is normal."
"YM's first pick in the second round. Bull's Head is outside. Should we choose for Liu Qingsong …" Remember stared at YM's hero selection panel. Then he saw Jack, who was on the fourth floor of the red square, quickly choose a hero. He was smiling like a dragon king!
Nice to see you!
Faerie Witch!
"Lulu?!" Remember cried out in surprise.
Mille frowned. "This hero was popular in the Spring Season, but recently everyone has been playing Hammer Stone, Bull's Head, Boulogne, and other hard supports. Is it really okay to choose Lulu to deal with RNG Policewoman + Hammer Stone?"
Firefox and RNG's players also looked serious.
They had already thought of how to deal with Bull's Head, but why didn't YM follow the plan?
What the hell was Lulu?
Didn't Liu Qingsong like to roam? Could it be that he was possessed by the Prophet?
But there wasn't much time left for them to choose a hero. Firefox took down Crocodile for letme first, then turned to Xiao Hu.
"Li Yuanhao, can you take down Sindra?"
There was no hero that was easy to take down in the mid lane. Lucian was ridiculously strong in single lane. His hands were long and agile, and his burst was high. He couldn't compare to his other ADC brothers at all.
Sindra and Jayce were the outliers in this group of mid laners that weren't easy to take down Lucian.
If Jayce came out, they would be a noob team. If the opponent gave Jin Gong a Stone Golem, they would all explode.
It could only be Sindra.
Xiao Hu didn't have any objections. He felt that Lin Yan wouldn't be able to take him down.
"Can I take out Golden Cloth Armor Shoes first?"
Mi De Hu asked for his teammates' opinion. "I plan to go back to the city and make an Explorer's Armguard, then a pair of Cloth Armor Shoes. That way, Lucian won't be able to take me down."
"…" Spicy Saucepan took a deep breath. He didn't know what to say.
"You can take out whatever you want, Li Yuanhao." Fire Fox patted Xiao Hu's shoulder. "But you have to make sure that Lucian doesn't crush you in the mid lane. Also, try to make sure that he doesn't drive the tempo of the jungle."
Xiao Hu nodded, indicating that he understood.
"YM, take out Kenan for Jin Gong. Use it to restrain Crocodile!"
The lineups of both sides were finally decided.
Blue RNG: Top Crocodile, Jungler Excavator, Mid Laner Sindra, Bottom Laner Policewoman + Hammer Stone.
Red YM: Top Laner Kenan, Jungler Wine Barrel, Mid Laner Lucian, Bottom Laner Verus + Lulu.
"I think this lineup … RNG is more comfortable. It's not that strong." Mille tasted the heroes that both sides had taken out. "Xiao Tian has Wine Barrel, but he doesn't have enough control in all three lanes. It's difficult for him to do anything. Let's see if he can get some benefits in the early game with his E-Flash."
"I think YM's lineup is not bad." Remember raised a different opinion. "Xiao Tian doesn't have to catch people in this game. He can invade Saucepan's jungle under the protection of two heroes with lane control."
Doll looked to his left and then to his right. He could only nod. He felt that both of them were right. They had stolen everything he wanted to say.
However, he couldn't imitate Zhang Fei and say, "Me too." He could only keep his mouth shut.
"But look at the bottom lane. I think today is a test for Jack and Liu Qingsong …" Mille turned his head to look at Remember.
Doll, who stood between the two like a door god, finally reacted.
That's not right. Why are you two talking alone again?
…
Under the lead of the fans, the fans of both teams followed the unwritten rule and cheered for the home team three times.
"It sounds like our fans won?" Lin Yan took advantage of the loading time to look below the stage.
"Ouze can't do it." Xiao Tian said casually.
Lin Yan frowned. He didn't understand how Phyllostachys Pubescens thought that Ouze couldn't do it.
Good heavens. Is this Hanson's Skyfall?
The screen suddenly lit up. The map of Summoner's Rift had been loaded.
Lin Yan bought the Doran Sword and quickly left the fountain.
He brought Ignite for this game. Xiao Hu didn't bring Sprint. Instead, he brought Teleport. This way, he could fill in the lane and support his teammates at critical moments.
Both sides formed a long snake formation in the river. No one had any intention of invading.
As usual, Xiao Tian started from the top half of the map. He planned to farm all the way to level three.
Even though Liu Qingsong's Lulu didn't have any special skills, everyone knew that Ouze would definitely push the lane.
Lin Yan went online with his guns and started to suppress Xiao Hu.
Even though Lucian was stronger than Sindra in the early game, he couldn't brainlessly suppress his opponent.
Everything depended on technique.
The first thing Lin Ran did when he logged on was to take a step forward. Then, he immediately turned around and tried to lure Little Tiger out with his [Shadow Ball].
However, the steady Mi De Hu didn't fall for it.
He held onto his Q, waiting for Lu Xian to cast a skill or use a normal attack. After all, Lu Xian's normal attacks and Q&W skills required a forward swing of the hand. This delay was enough for him to hit Lin Ran with his Shadow Ball.
Seeing that Xiao Hu didn't fall for it, Lin Yan didn't continue to move forward.
His current equipment wasn't at the level where he could cross the minions and fight Sindra. He could only steadily fill in the minions.
Lin Yan chose the minions and Sindra did the same.
It was very fair.
More importantly, this way, the minions wouldn't be quickly stacked and pushed towards Xiao Hu's tower.
Even though Mi De Hu's playstyle was a little messed up because of the hot weather, his brain was still sharp.
He and Gou Ba had studied Lin Ran's ranking game videos for nearly a week. They were clear about Lin Ran's usual playstyle when he got this kind of line hero. If you didn't fight with him, he would gather the minions and push the 10 minions into the defense tower. Then, he would look for Little Tian to cause trouble.
Naturally, he couldn't let Lin Yan have his way.
Sindra's normal attacks dealt much less damage than Lucian's. Xiao Hu cleverly took advantage of this.
Even though he was also using normal attacks to deplete the minions' HP, Lucian's normal attacks pushed the minions faster.
But it wasn't so fast that it was out of control. Xiao Hu could control the extra two or three minions himself. Lucian would definitely lose if he roamed around in this kind of position because the minions didn't enter the tower. He would lose a lot of minions.
Mi De Hu had a good plan.
Lin Yan took advantage of the minions pushing forward and took the lead to eat the first melee minions in the second wave of minions. He successfully leveled up to Level 2 and learned E [Grim Pursuit].
He slid forward to close the distance and used two normal attacks on Xiao Hu. At the same time, he clicked on the floor to cancel the backswing and used Q [Transparent Holy Light].
But he didn't use his following two normal attacks. The damn melee minions were blocking his forward pursuit.
During this time, he took a [Shadow Ball] from Sindra and a round of focused fire from five minions.
He didn't gain much HP.
At the same time, the [Transparent Holy Light] just now had passed through three minions. The current trend of the minions pushing forward was irreversible. At the latest, the minions would flood into Xiao Hu's defense tower after the next wave of minions.
Li Yuanhao also noticed this detail. He shrank back in front of the tower and used his skills and normal attacks to clear the minions.
Lin Yan waited for his E skill to cool down before he slid forward again and raised his gun. It looked like he was going to wear down the minions again.
Obviously, he knew that a Level 2 Saucepan Excavator couldn't gank. His fighting style was extremely arrogant.
Xiao Hu habitually used Q [Shadow Ball] to condense it under Lin Yan's feet. This way, Lin Yan would take damage the moment he raised his hand to attack and used [Transparent Holy Light]. At the same time, he had to attract the minions' aggro.
But to his surprise, Lin Yan didn't follow up with his two normal attacks or use any skills.
Instead, he retracted his gun and took a step to the side, blocking the two passive bullets and dodging the [Shadow Ball].
Xiao Hu cursed himself for being so useless. He should have waited for the normal attacks and skills to land on him before using the [Shadow Ball].
But he didn't lose anything in this wave. Both sides didn't hurt each other and retreated.
Lin Yan couldn't do anything about Xiao Hu's tortoiseshell style. He was a little worried. He couldn't just watch Xiao Hu continue like this, could he?
Three minutes into the match, a wave of conflict occurred in the bottom lane.
Xiao Tian, who had leveled up to Level 3, came to the bottom lane. He wanted to grab Ouze, who was holding the front line, but the Spicy Saucepan happened to come to the back and crouch.
Phyllostachys Pubescens only cooperated with Liu Qingsong to turn Xiao Ming into a sheep and forced Ouze to cast a healing spell. He didn't gain any substantial benefits.
He clicked his tongue and felt that his gank was too obvious.
But getting a healing spell was better than nothing.
But Phyllostachys Pubescens soon realized that something was wrong.
There was a follower behind him.
The Spicy Saucepan was following him with Earth Hearing. It maintained a safe distance and followed Xiao Tian!
Phyllostachys Pubescens wanted to kill a group of Demonic Swamp Frogs to calm himself down, but when he saw the Subterranean Beast Queen roaring from time to time, he gave up.
Farming in front of the opponent meant that she would be attacked from both the front and the back. Although Reksey was a mother … a woman, her claws were merciless. Her speed of digging out the anus was not slow at all.
He wanted to go around the Third Wolf, but he realized that the Excavator was still following him like a ghost!
"Saucepan's tailing is very smart." Mille looked at the Wine Barrel and Excavator on the screen and couldn't help but praise, "He's keeping an eye on Xiao Tian and not letting him farm!"
"He's using his own development to keep an eye on Xiao Tian's position!" Remember also realized, "This way, he can provide his teammates with enough information about the jungler's position!"
"Ouze is still holding the front line. He's unscrupulous now. After pushing the minions in, he's at the grinding tower. Everyone in YM is exposed to the RNG's vision!"
F * ck!
Gulagas expressed his anger with a burp. I'm not a delicate little beauty. Why are you tailing me?
Turn around and fight?
How can a Wine Barrel fight against Rexey?
Wait for his teammates?
The RNG at the front line could be the first to provide support in the bottom lane. Moreover, Hammer Stone's control skills were much more effective than Lulu's in this kind of small-scale team fight.
Lin Yan in the middle lane had the right to lead, but his minions had not pushed into the turret. If he rashly came to support and didn't get any kills, it would be a huge loss.
Did he have to go to the top half?
But there was only one group of Gargoyles there for him to farm.
Once the two groups in the bottom half were given up, his early jungler rhythm would be completely messed up!
"Come help me. I can't give up the wild monsters!" Phyllostachys Pubescens sent out a distress signal.
However, as soon as Lin Yan left the middle lane, Xiao Hu immediately notified his teammates.
Spicy Saucepan immediately retreated without hesitation.
However, at this time, Xiao Ming's Hammer Stone also disappeared from the front line. If there were no surprises, he must have come to meet up with Spicy Saucepan.
As long as Lin Yan dared to return to the middle lane, the two of them would work together to invade Xiao Tian's jungle.
Lin Yan had no choice. His minions didn't push in, but Xiao Tian's jungle also had to be protected.
In the end, he made the choice to sacrifice himself to help Xiao Tian recover his jungler development.
The director who was causing trouble had even cut the screen into two sections: left and right.
On the left was the middle lane. YM's minions were about to enter the turret and were wearing down RNG's minions. However, Lin Yan didn't gain any benefits from these minions that died.
On the right was a picture of Lucian holding two guns tightly, standing outside the blue BUFF camp to escort Little Rascal Akino. He looked like an American security guard.
"My God, Ran's move is giving up on the wave of minions that he pushed in front of the RNG turret," Mille hissed. "This sacrifice is a bit big."
"Xiao Hu has already caught up with the last hit count. In a moment, he will definitely complete the reverse. The middle lane advantage will be gone!"
Doll couldn't help but feel indignant for Lin Yan. "Is it really okay to sacrifice Lucian's development like this?"
[Brothers, I'm so touched that I'm so touched!]
[My God, the middle lane is going to lose a wave of minions!]
[Ran is really worried about his son. This is too much of a loss!]
"Thank you," Mongoose successfully finished off two groups of minions and then rushed to the top half, temporarily avoiding the Excavator's tail. "I'll help you catch one later."
Although Lin Yan's heart ached, he could only swallow this loss.
After returning to the middle lane, the minions were still stuck in front of the RNG turret. However, it seemed that Xiao Hu couldn't control them anymore. In a moment, a large wave of minions would push towards Lin Yan's turret.
Lin Yan's approach was the same as Xiao Hu's. He used normal attacks to slowly clear the minions. He didn't want to accumulate a wave of minions in front of the turret.
"Jin Gong controlled a wave of minions in front of the turret. Xiao Tian wanted to catch them …" Remember said loudly. "But letme noticed it early. He planted his vision in the top lane in advance. When he saw Xiao Tian, he immediately retreated!"
Spicy Saucepan did a great job.
Although his previous tailing did not achieve any substantial results, he successfully captured Xiao Tian's position and knew that he was going up.
The information given in advance made letme alert. Naturally, he would guard against Xiao Tian.
However, Xiao Tian didn't lose out.
He knew that Saucepan knew his position. This time, he purposely went up to make letme leave.
Jin Gong could control the minions in front of the turret for more than a minute.
Although letme survived, he couldn't avoid a layer of skin.
Although the loss of two waves of minions couldn't be compared to the value of a head, it was enough to make letme's heart ache for a while.
"Both junglers have finished the first wave of minions. They returned to the city to replenish the green jungler …" Mille suddenly shouted in surprise. "What's Saucepan doing?"
On the big screen, Spicy Saucepan didn't go to his own Magical Swamp Frog or Three Wolves' camp. Instead, he went straight to YM's Beak Bird camp!
Based on the information of Xiao Tian's Third Wolves and Magical Swamp Frog, he determined that Phyllostachys Pubescens leveled up by killing red, beak bird, and blue monsters.
At this time, the second group of beak birds should be respawning soon.
"He's still going to harass Xiao Tian!" Doll shouted in surprise. "There's no end to this!"
"Saucepan is really reckless. He knows Xiao Tian's movements very well." Mille shook his head slightly.
"It's mainly because of the difference in strength between the heroes in the jungle," Remember explained. "Excavator is riding on the face of this kind of Pure Meat Wine Barrel. He won't lose no matter what."
Xiao Tian was worried sick. As soon as he arrived at F6, he saw Spicy Saucepan waiting there.
Although he used Q's [Rolling Wine Barrel] and Retribution to eat the big bird, Spicy Saucepan still used Q's three waves of damage to tear the three birds apart.
Lin Yan wanted to rush over, but Spicy Saucepan ran quickly and retreated through the tunnel.
"It's really disgusting." Xiaotian was really annoyed.
There were no more monsters in the top half of the jungle, so he walked down. Spicy Saucepan found out Xiao Tian's next movements.
"Xiao Tian is really having a hard time fighting like this," Mille said. "Not only can he not find a catcher, but after the RNG bottom lane found his position, Ouze is moving very close to the front and is trying his best to tower."
In fact, after the levels were higher, the bottom lane combination of YM Verus and Lulu wouldn't be so difficult against Policewoman Hammer Stone.
However, Jack was hooked midway and lost a lot of HP to Xiao Ming and Ouze.
At the time, the comments were still mocking Jack for taking Q today.
Jack didn't want to take Q either.
However, Xiao Ming knew him too well and knew where he was going just by looking at his small movements.
Verus, who didn't have enough HP, could only let the RNG bottom lane suppress him.
When Lin Yan changed the screen, he found that the bottom lane defense tower's HP had been whittled down.
If they continued to fight like this, by the time Liu Qingsong looted the Censer, the bottom tower would have been destroyed by Ouze. How could they hope to use the canyon as the vanguard to push forward?
Lin Yan was pushed back by the minions in front of him, while trying to avoid Sindra's skills.
He glanced at his experience bar and the number of last hits on the data panel and knew that he didn't have much time left.
Sindra's first return to the city had better have a missing chapter. If it was Xiao Hu, Lin Yan, who was familiar with him, guessed that he might be able to buy [Explorer's Armguard].
The latter only cost 1100 gold coins.
He estimated that Xiao Hu would have enough gold coins after farming the eighth wave of minions.
Now, the seventh wave of minions had arrived.
If Xiao Hu went back to make the missing chapter, then he still had a chance.
If it was the Explorer's Armguard, the stacked armor would make Lin Yan, who was steadily developing, extremely uncomfortable!
He had to seize the opportunity.
Lin Yan looked at the monsters on the minimap thoughtfully.
He took a step back, looking like he was going to put the last three ranged minions into his defense tower.
As expected, Xiao Hu stepped forward, wanting to take advantage of his level lead and wear down Lin Yan while he was killing minions.
However, Lin Yan suddenly turned around and killed a ranged soldier with a normal attack, successfully rising to level 5, catching up to Xiao Hu's level!
The next moment, Lin Yan made his move.
He slid forward, closing the distance between him and Xiao Hu once again.
Two passive shots were fired, and Ignite was directly killed!
At this time, Xiao Hu still had eighty percent of his health. He did not expect his opponent to be killed by Ignite!
He quickly wanted to retreat, but this time, the minions were mostly cleared, and nothing could stop Lin Yan's advance!
The W [Passionate Bullet] had hit, and the passive shot was fired again. Now, Lucian had activated the acceleration effect!
"What does this Ignite mean?
Is Ran trying to solo Sindra with such low health? "Doll saw the scene of the mid lane and immediately shouted excitedly.
"But there are no teammates around the mid lane, this seems like an opportunity!"
Level 5 Ignite's damage was 150, and it was not a low damage per second.
Xiao Hu saw that he had taken four shots and a W, and his health had dropped below half. Lucian had already passed the center of the river and was still chasing after him. He immediately knew that this was not an attempt to dissuade him, but a real attempt to kill him!
"Xiao Hu handed over his QE and wants to stun Ran with Scatter of the Weak …"
"What a fast reaction!" Doll shouted excitedly, "Ran dodged the critical crowd-control!"
The audience also spontaneously clapped and cheered.
Just as Sindra's Scatter of the Weak was about to hit Lucian, a golden light flashed!
Lin Yan used Flash to pass through the crowd-control skill and appeared behind Xiao Hu. The two of them were now face to face!
"This is a Flash Shuttle!"
He remembered that Sindra's health was still decreasing. "Ran is firing shots at Sindra, and Xiao Hu's health is constantly decreasing!"
Sindra's Scatter of the Weak required a short casting action, and at that moment, unless she used Flash, she would be stuck in the same spot.
This caused Lin Yan to follow him, and even came in front of Xiao Hu, using his own body to block his way back to the tower.
At the same time, he used W's acceleration effect to shoot wildly at Xiao Hu!
"Xiao Hu used W's telekinesis to slow him down, and he still has Flash in his hand, but Ran won't use his last skill!"
Lin Yan naturally knew that Xiao Hu wanted to use Flash to dodge his Penetrating Holy Light, so he simply didn't use this skill, and just blocked Sindra's side, using extremely smooth moves to reduce Sindra's health.
The talent [War Zeal] had been stacked to the maximum, and the attack power provided made Lin Yan's normal attack damage higher and higher!
"If you don't use Flash now, it'll be too late!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hu used Flash and returned to the tower.
He felt that he had used W to slow down Lin Yan, and this Flash could increase the distance between them.
However, Lin Yan directly chased into the tower, and using the extra 5 points of movement speed and W's last second acceleration effect to close the distance, he shot out Penetrating Holy Light!
(Knowledge of Heat: Sindra's movement speed 330, Lucian's movement speed 335)
Sindra's remaining health was cleared by Lucian's Level 3 Q!
Lucian put away his gun, and after taking two hits from the tower, he had less than 200 health left!
Lin Yan completed a solo kill and successfully broke the stalemate!
