[Brother Ran is strong, strong, strong!]
[Tell a joke: Karma was killed by Ryze alone at Level 3, hahahaha]
[10% discount for Crown?
Is this how Karma is played?]
In addition to the applause and cheers, the audience also burst into laughter.
They thought that if Karma could be killed by Ryze alone at Level 3, it was trash.
Coincidentally, the people from Samsung thought so too.
Master An frowned. He felt that Crown was somewhat similar to the time when he was killed by the young Faker alone at the bottom of the tower.
"Steady, steady. Don't die," he instructed his midlaner.
Crown replied in a muffled voice. He felt that he was really stupid.
He only knew that Ryze's Level 3 burst was very high, but he didn't know that he would die even with E [Encourage]'s shield and 60% HP.
All he did was activate R [Brahma Incantation] and use Soul's Fire to clear the minions, and he was actually flashed right in front of him.
Was there any justice?
Lin Yan, who had completed the tower, cleared the minions under the cheers of his teammates. He didn't eat all the minions, but only one ranged soldier.
In this way, there were still two ranged soldiers and a cannon vehicle in front of Lin Yan's tower. He decisively counted down to return to the city.
The remaining minions couldn't be eaten.
If Lin Yan ate all of them, it would take a lot of time. Since he came out of Doran Ring, he didn't have much MP. After fighting with Crown at Level 1 and Level 3, he didn't have much MP left. It would be difficult for him to use skills to quickly finish off the cannon vehicle and the remaining three ranged soldiers.
If he couldn't keep up with the speed of pushing the minions, Samsung's fourth wave of minions would rush to the middle lane and block YM's minions. This wave of minions couldn't enter Crown's tower and would even be blocked in front of the tower by him.
Once the position of the minions became like this, it would be quite dangerous for Lin Yan to return to the middle lane again. Without Flash, Ryze's line was too deep. If Ambixin Princes dared to come, he would dare to die.
If Lin Ran could not clear out the Cannon Carts, then he could not just eat the three ranged soldiers either. This was because there were still some of YM's Cannon Carts left. Lin Ran only had one Three-Star Cannon Carts left after he ate the three ranged soldiers.
Since the spawn line was originally in front of Lin Yan Tower, if there was only one cannon, the remnants of YM's spawn line and the fourth wave of soldiers that arrived early would push the spawn line across the river.
As a result, when Lin Yan went online again, he would be faced with the same minions as before. Every time Princes came, he would die.
Therefore, he could only eat a few small soldiers, not too many.
Two soldiers would not do, but one soldier would do!
This way, the remaining two long-range soldiers and a cannon truck could perfectly block the minions in front of the YM tower. Even if Lin Yan returned to the city and went online again, the position of the minions would not move.
He arranged the minions perfectly. It was like a chess player returning to the fountain to replenish his equipment, waiting for Crown's next move.
Karma's method after he went online was simple and crude. Although the economy of two waves of minions and four small soldiers only allowed him to drop a pair of straw sandals, Crown still tried his best to quickly clear the minions.
The fourth wave of minions had arrived, but after all, there were no Cannon Carts blocking the way. Karma's RQs and normal attacks easily pushed the minions into Lin Yan's defense tower.
The Cannon Carts left behind by Lin Yan played a role. They helped to block a few shots from the defense tower. This way, he only lost one Cannon Cart when he returned to the middle lane.
Now, he had an additional Goddess' Tear in his backpack. Lin Yan already had one of the two important attributes for Ryze — movement speed and mana.
The minions under the tower were free money for Lin Yan. He easily cleared them with normal attacks and skills. Lin Yan followed the fifth wave of minions and took two steps forward, colliding with the fifth wave of minions from the three stars.
The chess player Crown's way of solving the problem was not wrong. He quickly pushed the minions into the tower to create a wave of repulsive minions. If nothing unexpected happened, when the sixth wave of Cannon Carts reached the middle lane, the minions would irreversibly push toward the three stars' defense tower.
Lin Yan would still be forced to cross the river and face the risk of being ganked by Princes.
Crown's arrangement did not seem to have any problems, but its weakness was that its intentions were too obvious.
Lin Yan did not even need to use his brain to know that Crown was going to send people to catch him.
His way of dealing with it was also to send people, but in advance.
Xiao Tian rushed to the middle lane after clearing the jungle. He used Q [Rolling Wine Barrel] and Meat Egg Onion Chicken to push the fifth wave of minions into Crown's defense tower with Lin Yan.
Master An did not come.
Previously, he had harassed Little Tian in the YM jungle. Even though he had stolen a few wild monsters, the problem was equally obvious. The farming speed of his own jungle was very slow.
After Crown died, Master An retreated from the YM jungle. He had to clear out the jungle as soon as possible. When Xiao Tian reached the middle lane first, he was still eating Stone Beetles and could not make it in time.
He could only watch as Lin Yan and Phyllostachys Pubescens pushed the minions into the SSG defense tower and neutralized his own team's attempt to attack the middle lane.
"Ran will leave the middle lane after clearing the minions. He will bring Mongoose into the jungle and target Master An!"
He remembered seeing YM's rhythm of attack unfold slowly and methodically. There was a hint of excitement in his voice.
Ze Yuan pursed his lips and did not say anything.
Lin Yan brought Little Turtle into the top half of the three stars and immediately saw a group of surviving Beak Birds.
"Let me eat, let me eat!" Phyllostachys Pubescens was extremely excited.
When Lin Yan saw this group of surviving Beak Birds, he immediately marked the three stars' Stone Beetle camp and reminded Jin Gong, who was on the top lane, to be careful of gank.
"This group of monsters is definitely yours. How can I steal your development?" Lin Yan said righteously and silently made a mental note of this group of monsters.
In the early stages, he definitely had to prioritize the development of the junglers. Lin Yan planned to fatten up Xiao Tian before he started to absorb the health of the jungle. He gave up a group of F6 now and could harvest ten groups of monsters. It was roughly the same principle as planting vegetables.
As Lin Yan's Goddess' Tear stacked higher and higher, he gradually gained control of the middle lane. Crown could no longer restrict him, so he could only clear the lane as soon as possible in an attempt to pressure Lin Yan.
"Sect Master An has experienced the confusion of the first two minutes. Now, he has planned the perfect farming route and minimized his losses!"
Ze Yuan's voice appeared in the official livestream again. He could not hide his joy even through the screen. "As expected of Sect Leader An. He's very experienced in fighting against invaders!"
To a certain extent, Sect Leader An was a bit like The Jungle in the past. Their understanding of operations, or rather, the entire game, had reached a kind of extreme. They were very clear about what to do at what time and were very good at planning their own routes. Every time they attacked, they would definitely gain something.
This kind of superb understanding and insight in the game allowed Sect Leader An to still be at ease in a disadvantageous situation.
Xiao Tian and Lin Yan were tied together and roamed three times. Except for the Beak Birds they harvested at the beginning, they did not get anything valuable in the other two waves.
"F * ck, is this person a fish?" Phyllostachys Pubescens couldn't help but curse after running two waves in vain. "He's so slippery that I can't even find his position!"
Since he could not gain anything from invading the jungle, Xiao Tian was purely at a loss. This was because he had wasted Lin Yan's advantage and his own farming time.
"The suppression you gave him was too weak."
Lin Yan frowned as he returned to the middle lane to clear the minions. He had calculated the timing of these two waves. He did not lose any minions, but he did not suppress Crown either. Now, Crown's last hit had caught up.
"To deal with this kind of jungler, you have to always tail him. This way, he won't be able to do anything."
Lin Yan's method was actually the Saucepan's hunger strike. As long as the opposite jungler was found, the Saucepan would fiercely bite the opponent's butt.
This was the simplest and most brutal way to play. It was also the best way to deal with brainy junglers like Sect Leader An and Dumb Chicken.
The vision provided by the hero would make all the brainy junglers' plans go up in smoke.
However, Xiao Tian would not use the hunger strike method. This was his knowledge blind spot. He preferred to eat resources in the early and mid stages to gain an economic and experience advantage, and then feed this advantage to his teammates.
Xiao Tian could not play this way of thinking. He did not even eat grass at the beginning of the game and directly squeezed for health.
Phyllostachys Pubescens was not afraid of his opponent competing with him in terms of tempo. After all, even if he could not win, he still had Lin Yan to help him.
This was also the reason he could suppress a carnivorous jungler like Little Peanut last year. However, when he faced junglers like Dumb Chicken and Sect Leader An, his advantage was very limited.
"Xiao Tian's offensive rhythm has slowed down …" Ze Yuan looked at the match on the screen and found that the economic gap between the two sides was gradually narrowing. He could not help but raise his head and puff out his chest. As a three-star fan, he did not forget his identity as an LPL commentator and said a few words for YM.
"If this drags on until the team battle, the three-star team has an advantage. YM has to think of a solution as soon as possible!"
YM quickly satisfied Ze Yuan's request.
When Xiao Tian saw that he did not have any advantage, he decisively changed his mind. Junglers could roam around the map, but they could not run everywhere in the three-star lane.
He targeted the weakest link of the three-star team — the mid laner Crown.
After giving away the first blood, Lin Yan already had the initiative. Xiao Tian just had to find an opportunity to withdraw the money.
At the six minute mark, Xiao Tian seized the opportunity and hit Crown with an E Flash. Together with Lin Yan's EW Imprisonment, they killed Crown in a combo.
The sudden change of strategy from the jungle to the lane caught the three-star team off guard. Lin Yan and Xiao Tian only retreated after Crown lost half of his HP.
On the stage, Ze Yuan was silent again. He realized that YM always slapped him in the face, and it was always Crown who was the unlucky one.
"Karma is 0-2 at the six minute mark. He can basically announce his departure from the game!" Remember added another stab to Ze Yuan's heart with a smile.
"Originally, Crown could take advantage of the fact that his first big item, Athena's Evil Holy Grail, was cheaper than Ran's Archangel's Embrace. He could make his first big item in advance and take advantage of the strong period to build an advantage for himself and his teammates."
"But now his Great Holy Grail is actually a lot slower than Ran's Archangel!" Remember was so happy that his face was about to bloom. "Brother Guan, what do you think we should do?"
Ze Yuan took a deep breath and pursed his lips as he watched his partner's performance.
After that, Master An tried to build an advantage for Cuvee. He planned to let the big bug form as soon as possible to intimidate the members of YM.
However, Jin Gong's Big Tree was extremely stable. He stayed under the tower and did not come out, waiting for the lane to arrive in front of him.
Left with no choice, Master An wanted to go to the bottom lane. However, YM's Lu Xia and Lulu had both reached level 6, and their survivability was quite good. Moreover, a three-star jungler alone was not enough to kill the healer and barrier duo.
According to the original plan, Master An should ask Crown or Cuvee to go to the bottom lane to cross the tower together. This could make up for the lack of control and damage.
However, the three-star team had two solo lanes and could not provide any help.
Moreover, Lin Yan now had the ultimate skill, Warp Realm Jump. Once Master An crossed the tower too far, Ryze would definitely rush to the front line of the battle.
"Master An can't control the rhythm at all. He can only take care of his own development and try to do a reverse crouch." Remember was getting more and more excited. "As a result, the three-star team is completely in a passive state."
The three-star team's lane ability was completely exposed.
Other than Cuvee, it was difficult to find a player with top lane ability. Chi Di and Corejj at the bottom lane were the best goalies, and Crown's lane ability was even worse.
They could not control the situation in lane, and the jungler could not control the rhythm. They could only try to set up a defensive line to defend against YM's next barrage of attacks.
9 minutes later, Lin Yan used his Blink to move forward. EW trapped Karma under the tower, and then Xiao Tian used his ultimate to blast Crown into his arms. He pressed Crown under his body and began to ravage him.
Master An's support was a step too late. EQ's ultimate covered YM's jungler, but Lin Yan used Warp Realm Jump to teleport himself and Phyllostachys Pubescens out of the defense tower.
10 minutes later, YM successfully took down Canyon Vanguard and used it to destroy one of SSG's towers. Lin Yan and Phyllostachys Pubescens then went to put pressure on the flanks.
14 minutes later, all three of SSG's outer towers were destroyed. Their economy was behind by as much as 5K!
The audience was getting more and more excited. In their eyes, YM was only one step away from securing the first place in the group.
Ze Yuan looked at the three-star team on the screen and felt his mouth go dry.
He felt that the three-star team had no chance of making a comeback. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "YM has a huge economy advantage. With their strategy, I think they can end this game very quickly …"
It was as if someone was working on him. Two minutes later, Jack was on top of his head.
He had just used Blue Sucking Blade, Yellow Cross, and Attack Shoes. He was too close to the front of the tower and was silenced by Cuvee's Blink. Then, he used Feast.
Shiba Inu couldn't even use a single Blink. He died on the spot!
SSG followed up with another attack. Karma and Lady Wind's dual speed buffs were terrifying. Even though YM scattered and ran away, they still managed to catch up and kill two of their players!
After a sudden 0 for 3, the three-star team took down one of YM's towers and looted all the resources in the jungle. The economic gap was reduced to 2200 gold coins!
"Ah, this …" Ze Yuan's mouth was wide open. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Why couldn't he understand what was going on?
If he favored the three-star team, Crown would be trained; if he favored YM, Jack would give them away?
He wasn't the only one who noticed this. The audience in the live stream also noticed this.
[Qiuqiu, hold it in. Why are you so good at healing?]
[You can say it, Ze Yuan, hurry up and say a hundred times that the three-star team will win!]
[Oh my god, is that the Yellow Deity from LOL?]
"My, my." Jack looked at the black and white screen with an annoyed expression. "Why is my hand shaking?"
"Should we stop?" Liu Qingsong asked.
"No …" Jack shook his head. "Let's drag this out a little longer?"
"I'm ready. Jin Gong, how are you doing?" The surviving Lin Yan returned to the city to resupply.
The Siberian swallowed the Demonic Swamp Frog in his own jungle. He opened his shop and counted the gold coins. "I'm short of 600 gold coins. Let's wait for about two minutes."
"After YM resurrected, they continued to arrange their troops, but their offensive has slowed down quite a bit." Remember was worried. "If this drags on, it won't be easy to fight. On Samsung's side, Wind Lady and Karma's ability to pull and pull in team fights is getting stronger."
Ze Yuan, who was standing aside, was in a dilemma.
He didn't know what to say, but he also didn't know what to say.
Ze Yuan didn't know what had gotten into him today. Whoever healed was unlucky. What if he lost to the three-star team or YM?
However, Remember was staring at him. Ze Yuan had no choice but to choose his words carefully.
"I think if YM continues to fight, the match will still be very suspenseful. The three-star team is good at teamwork and late game operations …"
