Three minutes later, Lin Yan cooperated with Su Cheng's Spider to kill Blind Monk in the jungle.
The controls were very simple. Q [Channel Opening] followed by a normal attack to block the jungler. Even if Su Cheng was a newbie, she didn't know how to use Cocoon Spin. She followed up with a control, and Blind Monk was killed before he could even use Flash. His first blood was taken by Su Cheng's Spider.
"Aren't I too good to you?"
Lin Yan controlled Titan, who was in the astronaut skin, to step over Blind Monk's corpse. "I gave you my first blood."
"Lin Yan is the best. Sister Su Cheng loves you!" Su Cheng pinched her throat and let out a sweet voice. Lin Yan felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Speak properly. Don't disgust me."
Lin Yan was familiarizing himself with Titan's controls. Now, the tank hero that he thought to be stupid had a special charm. Especially when Yasso's E came up and used a bunch of fancy attacks to break Titan's W shield, the sense of accomplishment was especially obvious.
Successfully reaching level 5, Lin Yan pointed to level 3 E. Now, he only needed to use E to follow up with W to clear out the minions. His pushing speed became faster and faster. He once again entered Blind Monk's jungle with his little follower Su Cheng. Relying on his keen sense of smell, he found the victim, Blind Monk, near the Magical Swamp Frog.
In the shadows, Q [Channel Opening] once again hooked Blind Monk. Su Cheng happily used Cocoon Spin and followed up with another burst of control. Blind Monk suddenly died on the spot.
"Is this the awareness of a professional player?" After eating another kill, Su Cheng began to flatter.
Following that, Lin Yan led the tempo of the entire match. Titan, who had leveled up to level 6, returned home to replenish his equipment and rushed straight to the bottom lane. He successfully used his big move and shield to cross the tower and kill the opponent's bottom lane.
Twenty minutes later, Titan had already equipped the Staff of Time, Righteous Glory, and Landon's Omen. He was able to tank the defense towers and use his own flesh to disgust the enemy to death.
Before pushing into the base, Lin Yan stood motionless in front of Yasso. Only after ten seconds of QA from Yasso was able to reduce Titan's HP by 13%. He was then controlled and sent back to the fountain to heal.
"Am I strong or not?" Lin Yan asked. "Even when playing Titan as a mid laner, I can kill my opponents."
Su Cheng did not refute. She had gone crazy in this game. Her score of 1001 was like a K-headed demon possessed by Kobe.
However, the moment she saw the score, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Eh, why is the MVP award mine?"
"Is there a problem somewhere?"
Lin Yan was also confused. Why would TGP award the MVP award to a spider who only knew how to K-head behind him?
At this moment, there was a knock on Su Cheng's door.
"I'm going to eat. Let's talk next time?"
"I'm going to eat too. Good luck in your college entrance exam."
Lin Yan turned around to look at Xiao Tian. The vigilance in his eyes had completely disappeared. When he saw Lin Yan looking over, he even smiled and nodded in response. There was a hint of meaning in his eyes.
"Okay," Su Cheng replied softly. "You too. Good luck in the finals. I've already prepared a gift. Don't let me down."
As soon as she hung up, Chubby and Coach Hanyi walked out of the room.
The five players, the manager, the coach, and Chubby went to the bungalow hotpot and ate more than ten thousand yuan. On the way back, Lin Yan found Coach Hanyi and told her about his understanding of Titan's mid laner.
"It's a good choice. We just need to snowball the game in the early and mid stages." After hearing Lin Yan's words, Hanyi's serious face finally had a hint of a smile. "Chubby and I have been worrying about how to free you recently. EDE will definitely have a three ban mid laner. If we don't open up the middle lane, it will be very difficult for us to win."
Even though the playoffs had not started yet, whether it was Hanyi, Hao, Chubby, or the five members of YM, they all believed that their opponent in the finals would be Team EDE.
First, it was because there were many veterans in EDE. Most of them had LPL experience. Second, it was because the mature coaching team would have more room to play in the best-of-five matches. Overall, they were the only ones who were close to YM in terms of strength.
At the very least, they had seen YM's high tower in the regular season. The other 14 teams could not even break through YM's second tower.
A week later, the LSPL playoffs began. On the other side, the LPL regular season had also ended. The teams participating in the promotion and relegation matches were M3, EPA, VG, and HYG.
April 11th, the first game of the LSPL spring season. MF defeated 2144D cleanly with a 3: 0 score.
April 12th, EDE defeated MF with a 3: 1 score as expected and advanced to the finals.
April 13th, the day of the LSPL finals.
Lin Yan spent all the 600 points he had accumulated in the regular season. He increased his farming ability by three points and his team battle ability by three points. Now, these two ability values had reached 79 and 75 points respectively.
The afternoon of the finals, Jing 'an Sports Center.
Now that there were only two teams left, YM finally had their own team lounge. Chubby was cheering for the team members. As the boss of the team, he especially put on a black suit today.
"To be honest, the version of the spring competition this time is not friendly to us." He looked at the team members. "There are no overpowered heroes in the version, allowing those teams to ban the middle units without restraint and limit Lin Yan's hero pool."
Several team members nodded in agreement.
If a very strong hero appeared in the competition, such as Captain Ironman of S5, the opponent would not be able to ban all the middle units.
"So," Chubby changed the topic. "Even though this is the first best-of-five since our team was established, there is no need for everyone to panic because we still managed to double kill EDE even when we did not have the advantage in BP. Facts have proven that they have no way to deal with our individual ability."
There was nothing wrong with this statement. It made the five YM players relax a little.
On the other side, in team EDE's lounge, the team's coach, Sun Dayong, was also lecturing. Like Chubby, he was full of confidence.
As a traditional Korean coach, Sun Dayong's Korean operations were superb. Even though they had been double killed by YM in the regular season, he was not worried. He had already prepared a combination of punches to deal with YM's sharp knife, Lin Yan. After being a coach for so many years, he had defeated countless young geniuses with these few moves.
At this time, he looked down on Lin Yan's unique style of playing. In Sun Dayong's opinion, the mid laner should focus on farming in the early, mid, and late game to dominate the battle. Roaming as support was the jungler's mission.
"We are facing a new team. As long as the competition drags on, they will definitely become more impatient and reveal more flaws." Sun Dayong passed his words to the team members through the translator.
"Don't rush. Grind it out bit by bit. YM's vision in the game is not good. You will find an opportunity."
"Don't forget the tactical arrangements I mentioned to you yesterday …" Sun Dayong patted AmazingJ's shoulder hard. He was confident in his tactics.
Teng Jing's staff came to the lounge of both teams and led the ten players and coaches to the stage to prepare. The intense competition was about to begin.
