"EDG in the blue team will ban Demacia Princes, who performed well in the previous game against Mongoose." Mille quickly retracted his thoughts from the previous game. "This hero's early game invasion is too fierce. EDG doesn't want more variables to appear in their jungle!"
As usual, Red Rice sent Aoun to the ban position to deal with the changes. He wanted to see what the opponent was going to do.
EDG's head coach, NoFe, chose to ban Malzahar. Red Rice pondered for a moment.
The Grasshopper had not been targeted by a fist. Compared to Gario, who did not live to the S8 season, he had a very long lifespan.
Among the current mainstream midlaners, Malzahar could easily avoid Zooey's E [Hypnosis Bubble] and powerful Poke damage with his passive [Void Travel]. His skill range was also longer than Ryze's …
Moreover, it was too easy to deal with Zooey and Ryze, who had no escape skills, with R [Grip of the Underworld] and jungling.
NoFe's ban position was obviously to liberate the midlaner. After all, YM was in the red team and had a counter position. In this case, the most important thing was to ensure that their midlaner was not targeted.
Red Rice did not hesitate to ban Zooey directly.
In the previous game, Ryze's performance was quite mediocre. At level 1, he was forced to use Flash by Phyllostachys Pubescens. After that, the chain reaction caused several deaths and completely ruined the rhythm of the game.
Relatively speaking, the few times Scout was used by Zooey in the Ryder Cup were quite outstanding and worthy of being targeted.
Moreover, in terms of matchup, Zooey could completely suppress Ryze. If Red Rice was not sent to the ban position, Lin Yan's next choice would be very difficult.
NoFe paced behind the player's seat and thought for a moment before saying, "Ban the captain. Don't let him take it."
He did not even dare to ban Jin Gong's captain now. Since the appearance of Steal Omen and Indestructible Grasp, two runes that were very suitable for captains, YM began to change the captain system again.
The key was that YM's captain was different from other teams.
People like The Shy and Sacred Gun Bro played captain in the jungle. King Ning and SOFM almost lived in the top lane in the early game to ensure the development of their stars' top laners. It was equivalent to the team raising the captain as a big brother.
But Jin Gong did not need to.
Other people would say, "If I help you, you won't be a C. If I don't help you, you'll explode." However, the Xiba people played the game of being invisible when facing off against each other.
His captain did not call for his teammates. Under normal circumstances, he would control the line and play slowly. If he used his hands to arrange his teammates, he would not be able to control his stomach. After attracting the firepower of the offense, the remaining four teammates would be able to develop brainlessly.
In the early and middle stages of the game, throwing out big moves to help his teammates cross the tower and receiving two assists would not be a loss. In the middle stages of the game, as long as he reached Level 13, he would be the opponent's nightmare.
Jin Gong was good at using a small amount of economy to deal a large amount of damage. He wasn't the core of the team's damage output, but he was good at pulling and stealing damage from the flanks, providing a better environment for his teammates to deal damage.
Different teams had different understandings of how a captain should be used. It was hard to tell which was better and which was worse. However, in NoFe's opinion, YM's captain strategy was more difficult to deal with.
Because of the captain role, YM had a triple-core damage output. Top, middle, and bottom damage output. How were they going to catch junglers?
Jack's sudden death was ruthless, but his damage output was also really fierce. If you don't kill me, I'll kill you. Anyway, if he died, he died. Lin Yan would cover for him.
If they caught the top laner Jin Gong, Lin Yan and Jack would be able to ride on the opponent's face. If they caught the mid laner Lin Yan, the top and bottom damage output would be invincible …
Pressing down on the gourd floated.
NoFe felt that he couldn't solve this problem. He might as well sacrifice a ban position.
"YM's last ban position in the first round … is given to Tsar!" Mille said softly. "This way, there won't be many strong mid laners left outside."
NoFe frowned.
The strongest mid laner left outside was Ryze, followed by heroes like Airplane who were more focused on growth.
Ryze, the hero, was in an awkward position. Although Grasshopper, Tsar, and Zooey had been sent to the ban position, there was still a natural enemy outside.
Snake Lady Cassiopeia.
NoFe felt that Red Rice had set a trap for him. If he dared to give his junior a Ryze, YM would take out Snake Lady.
The Snake Lady who hit Crown Ryze to 2200 damage in the Bird's Nest was no joke. Crown, who was far away in North America, probably dreamed of that snake hissing and spitting at him.
NoFe thought for a while and patted his junior on the shoulder. "Lin Can, what do you think about Snake Lady?"
"I can …" The junior thought carefully. Even if the opponent didn't use Ryze but Airplane, he would still be in a daze.
After all, Snake Lady wouldn't be afraid of playing Airplane.
"Let's take Hammer Stone first." NoFe was not in a hurry to send out the mid laner. The battle for the support position was more important.
Meiko was still a little hesitant. "What about the robot?"
In the last round, Liu Qingsong's robot that sped up and rushed at EDG stunned everyone. Their minds were filled with the sound of horns throughout the whole game.
"There's no way he'll choose the robot in the first round." NoFe looked at the opponent who took out Nar and Miss Pig and recorded it in his notebook. "Let's take Verus and Olaf."
Olaf's latest upgrade was 7.22, and his Q [Countercurrent Throw]'s damage per level increased by 10 points.
It didn't seem like much, but it was Olaf's main damage output skill after all. In addition, there was a long cooldown after picking up the axe. Normally, Olaf could throw the axe at least three times in a fight, and the cumulative damage would be considerable.
Moreover, this hero was very comfortable fighting Miss Pig in the jungle, a clumsy herbivore jungler. He could do whatever he wanted in the early game.
Doll in the commentator's seat hissed softly. "EDG's top three picks are a little fierce."
Hammer Stone, Verus, and Olaf. This jungler combination could be considered as strong in both small-scale team battles and single line battles.
"Indeed, it looks like EDG is determined to fight YM in the early and mid-game." Mille nodded. "They suffered too much in the early game in the last round. If they can smoothly transition to the team battle stage, they might actually be able to fight."
In fact, this sentence was quite unreasonable. YM's lineup was meant to fight in the early and mid-game. If they were evenly matched with their opponents and developed to the team battle stage, they would be at a disadvantage.
The stadium was relatively hot. Red Rice took off his formal suit before going on stage for the second round. Now, he slowly rolled up the sleeves of his light blue shirt, revealing his forearms. He looked neat and tidy.
"Liu Qingsong, what do you think about Bull's Head?"
Red Rice forced himself to add a questioning tone at the end of his sentence. If it was back in VG and WE, he would definitely have used a commanding tone.
He was a typical Korean coach and had a lot of authority in BP. However, now that he had joined the Double Champion team, Red Rice knew that he had to make appropriate changes.
Everyone was here for the championship, so it was fine as long as it didn't affect the overall situation.
"Okay, okay."
Liu Qingsong glanced at the lineup of both sides and knew that he had to pick a hero that could lead the tempo and start the team battle in the early game. Bull's Head's WQ second combo would have no problem dealing with Hammer Stone. The chances of being interrupted were very low.
In the second round of BP, Red Rice sent Shen and Qing Gang Yin to the ban position. This way, the top lane ecosystem had completely collapsed, leaving Ray with a bunch of tank heroes.
Characters like Big Tree had no way to fight back against Gnar. They would be suppressed from the beginning to the end.
However, NoFe also responded quickly. He blocked the two heroes, Gunslinger and Dusk. The only strong ADC left in this version was Azreal.
The key was the bottom lane combination of EZ and Bull's Head. Playing against Verus and Hammer Stone would be like sitting in jail under the tower. Without the help of teammates, there was basically no such thing as lane control.
NoFe finished the last ban position. Seeing that YM's fourth choice had not been confirmed, he kept thinking about his preparations.
If the opponent picked EZ first, he would pick Lamia; if the opponent picked Lamia first, he would let his junior play Airplane.
Either way, he would not lose.
"Azreal." Even Doll had guessed YM's AD choice. Her tone was calm. "This way, the strength of YM's bottom lane and jungle seems to be a bit lacking."
Mille also saw this problem. "It's useless to just have lane control in the top lane. It's basically certain that Brother Ran is going to choose a hero with strong lane control. He's trying to maximize the laning and clearing abilities to improve the early stage strength of the entire team."
NoFe breathed a sigh of relief. "Pick Lamia, and then … how about Yuanzai use Big Tree?"
Ray, whose real name was Quan Yuanzai, took a deep breath. It was not that he did not want to play Big Tree, but he did not want to play in EDG …
The head coach saw the unwillingness in his facial expression. He pondered for a moment and said,
"Do you want to choose Big Tree and win with a cry, or choose Rambo and lose with a smile?"
Of course, these were not his original words, but the Korean language was broad and profound. That was the meaning.
Ray, who was wearing glasses, was dumbfounded when he heard this.
He scratched his head gloomily.
There were really no heroes outside now, and the team's Verus and Lamia's double carries were also guaranteed to deal damage.
He was indeed the best choice to fill in for the frontline and control.
"Take it, take it." Ray's voice was sad.
"It's okay, I'll help you catch this game."
Haro comforted him, and the heartless little junior translated this sentence to Ray in Korean.
Hmm?
Hearing this, Ray remembered that EDG's starting jungler was no longer Old Ancestor Sevin.
His expression changed from gloomy to sunny.
"Come on, come on, we'll split the kill 50-50." He suddenly felt that his jungler was much more pleasing to the eye.
After the wedding, did Big Tree and Olaf casually arrange this Gnar?
On the other side, Red Mi's eyes lit up when he saw the opposing team choose Lamia.
"Take it."
He was very clear about his team's core hero pool. This was a trap that had been buried long ago, waiting for EDG to jump into it.
Lin Yan's left elbow was still on the table, and his right hand was rolling the mouse wheel, sweeping back and forth in the hero pool.
After looking around twice and not finding a more suitable hero, Lin Yan asked Liu Qingsong to confirm his choice.
"YM is the last choice, what will Brother Ran choose …" Doll did not understand the game well, but his commentary skills were not bad at all. He piqued the audience's curiosity with a sentence, and deliberately lowered his voice to make the suspense full.
Liu Qingsong's hero selection box switched between Lulu and Karma for seven seconds, and then immediately locked on another hero.
Time was not about how much you had, but how you used it!
Many female audience members in the audience had already started screaming.
"Ike!"
Doll was speechless. He was not sure whether this hero was good or bad against Lamia. Although it was normal to choose the counter position in a professional game, Doll did not dare to comment.
After all … there were still accidents, especially in some teams.
Mille was also not sure. These two heroes were not popular even in a professional game. Lamia was probably chosen in every version, but compared to a strong T1 hero, it was a little less interesting. Ike's selection rate was even lower, and normally, it was used to counter Airplane and Sindra.
There were too few examples of these two heroes in a professional game.
"Ike still has an advantage against Lamia …" Mille saw Scout's expression under the camera lens, and confirmed his guess. His brain was working quickly.
"It's still the same problem. Ike's Q level is high, and Lamia can't stop him if he wants to push the lane. Moreover, Ike has a displacement skill, so in a 1v1, Ike's tolerance for mistakes is much higher than Lamia's."
"If he can win, he'll kill. If he can't, he'll run."
Mille was right. In a 1v1, Ike did have a certain amount of initiative.
However, the most important thing in a professional game was not the 1v1. It should be known that the highest number of 1v1 kills in a season was only about 30.
Last year, a team had to play 16 BO3s, and Tian Tian's 2: 0 sweep was also 32 small games.
In other words, the best players in the League could only get less than one kill per game on average.
Most of the time, everyone acted as a group, focusing on small-scale team battles and pulling lanes, constantly exchanging resources.
In these two aspects, Ike also had an advantage. He was flexible and explosive. W [Time Stagger] and R [Spacetime Rupture] were simply the best weapons in the jungle.
In terms of pulling lanes, Ike completely destroyed Lamia. Cassiopeia, who had no displacement, did not dare to cross the river when facing Ike. Once she was stuck, she would have to flash away.
EDG was also stunned by Ike's move.
NoFe hissed softly, his face showing a depressed expression.
He had to admit that he did not take Ike into consideration when doing the BP.
The main reason was that Lin Yan's hero pool was too ridiculous. The width and depth were something NoFe had never seen before. There were too many heroes that he was good at, and it was inevitable that he would overlook.
The other Ike's unique skill, Golden Left Hand, was relatively easy to deal with.
The players looked at YM's lineup and felt that it was extremely troublesome.
Blue EDG: Top Laner Big Tree, Jungler Olaf, Mid Laner Lamia, Bottom Laner Verus + Hammer Stone.
Red YM: Top Laner Gnar, Wild Boar Girl, Mid Laner Ike, Bottom Laner Azreal + Bull's Head.
Meiko pursed her lips, her brain working quickly.
It was still the same problem. It looked like EDG's lineup was good, and they were extremely strong. With two bodyguards, Big Tree and Hammer Stone, if they stood in formation, their two C's would not even know how they died.
But the crux of the problem was that YM's lineup obviously did not want to fight with them!
Gnar and Ike were on the side, and the remaining three were on the front.
This kind of 131-point push was very effective against EDG's lineup, because no one could deal with the two players on the side.
The way to crack it was to force the team.
EDG had to rely on the Hammerstone Prize and Verus' ultimate move to open up a team. However, Liu Qingsong had obtained the Tauren's Head, and his ultimate move could help his teammates block the wind and rain.
Moreover, the remaining Azreal was not an easy character to deal with. He stayed in the distance and kept shooting the white liquid clear line. Just thinking about it made them feel disgusted.
The only neutral resource that could force YM to fight with them was Baron Nash, but that would have to wait for 20 minutes.
If the team battle started using this resource point did not succeed in defeating YM, then what awaited EDG was only to be dragged and pushed to the point where their base was destroyed.
Until the coach was about to leave the stage, EDG had not figured out how to deal with the opposing team's lineup.
"Bring more stopwatches …" Before taking off his headphones, No Face was still lecturing them. "Don't fight in the jungle. If you want to fight, make sure Olaf is there. Follow him."
This game obviously had to be centered around Haro. Olaf's ability to fight in the early stages was extremely strong, and he was worthy of being their rhythm engine.
The few EDG players had no objections. Now that the audience was shouting loudly, the headphones could not block out the deafening cheers of YM's fans.
Lin Yan rubbed his palms and glanced at the runes of the opposing Lamia.
Phase Rush + Red Dominator, it would probably be a double lifesteal. Under the current rune system, this was the optimal solution for Lamia and Ryze.
Junior's summoner skill also had healing spells instead of purification. After all, he did not have much control over YM's lineup that could be removed with purification.
Ten heroes from both sides descended into the Summoner's Canyon. Lin Yan bought the Killer Ring and reusable potions and left the spring.
As usual, he brought a teleport and prepared to buy the Doran Ring in the early stages before coming out.
Compared to using the Doran Ring and Two Red Rings before going out, using the Killer Ring first was a reusable potion that could be used continuously.
"Let's guard the river station in one line. Our level is a little weak."
Lin Yan also knew that EDG, who had lost to a level 1 team in the previous game, would definitely rely on their strong lineup to invade them in this game. He and his teammates decisively chose to retreat when they saw the opponent rush into the river.
"Xiao Tian is ready. He knows that EDG will invade his jungle blue buff, so he will go directly to the opposite side to activate it!"
"Brother Siba, come over and help me take a look." Xiao Tian hid in the bushes of the upper river and was ready to use the time to activate the blue buff.
Pig Girl was too weak at level 1, so it was very troublesome to go to the opponent's jungle alone to activate the buff. He was afraid that the opponent would come to harass him.
In this case, it was better to let his teammates help.
"Ray is standing in the distance and consciously threw a Tree Son into the bushes of the blue buff camp. This should be able to see YM's jungle route."
Both sides were secretly playing a game and knew each other well.
After Lin Ran went online, he used a Q [Time Curler] on the army. It was obvious that he was trying to reduce the health of the army.
In order to use his skill to hit the three ranged soldiers in the back row, he deliberately took an extra step forward.
The junior seized the opportunity to use E [Twin Venomous Fangs] and normal attack to reduce Lin Yan's HP by nearly 100. He was also hit by the three ranged soldiers for a round.
Lin Yan was unmoved. He turned around and waited for the cooldown of his skill to end.
Scout frowned and began to use his normal attack to attack the minions. He was also ready to clear the minions.
Lin Yan took advantage of the gap between the Snake Girl's attack and went forward to pick up the Z-type Drive and hit the melee soldier. He triggered three rings to lower his HP and continued to retreat.
The junior seized the opportunity and drank a layer of Corruption Potion. He then used E [Twin Venomous Fangs] to bite Ike.
He could see that Lin Yan did not even want to waste his HP with him. His mind was full of pushing lines. He simply drank the Corruption Potion and used the Corruption Potion to lower his HP a little more.
Lin Yan retreated and took the opportunity to quickly observe the movements of the opponent's three lanes. The top laner Ray's Big Tree was still obediently hiding in the back. The bottom laner was recklessly pushing and suppressing the enemy's line.
This was very much in line with the movements of the two junglers. After all, Haro's Olaf was in the bottom half and Xiao Tian was in the top half.
The three melee soldiers were all dead. The ranged soldiers were, after all, more fragile. Their HP dropped very quickly. Lin Yan saw that the minions had low HP and went forward again to try to clear them with his Q [Time Curler].
In order to ensure that his Q skill hit the three ranged soldiers, he still took a step forward.
The moment he took that step, a sharp axe was suddenly thrown from the bushes below!
Lin Yan's swinging motion was right there. At this time, there was no way for him to dodge. The slow effect of the axe slowed his movements by quite a bit!
His close brother Olaf came out from the bushes!
"Haro, come to the mid lane directly at level 2. He must cripple Brother Ran's status!"
The junior also wagged his snake tail and moved forward, his snake tongue sticking out. However, he had to avoid Lin Yan's Time Curler and couldn't keep up with the damage output in time.
Haro raised the corner of his mouth. He had long found Lin Yan an eyesore. In the previous game, he had disgusted him enough. It was normal for him to be disgusted in this game, right?
As he controlled Olaf to get closer to Lin Yan.
A thumb lit up on top of his head.
This was a new emoticon function that Fist had introduced in S8. The original team's dog tag was included in the emoticon wheel. This free thumb looked very mocking.
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. His body instinctively leaned forward, his slender fingers gripping the mouse tightly. His gaze was focused.
He had originally walked straight into the tower. At this time, he suddenly changed his mind and walked behind the three low-health long-range soldiers. He even pressed the S button to wait for him. Ctrl + 3 controlled Ike to use the Z Drive as a guitar, self-playing and self-singing. It was terrible to listen to.
Haro had originally planned to retreat. However, Lin Yan's S pause and Ctrl + 3 made him angry. His eyes turned slightly red.
Why are you pretending?
He picked up the axe. With the cooldown reduction of his blue buff, his Q skill was ready again.
He aimed at Ike's position and threw the axe at him again!
The axe was sharp. It killed two long-range soldiers in front of Ike and flew towards Lin Yan with a whistling sound!
However, he reacted quickly and took a step to the side. The axe was right next to him. It would have hit him by a hair's breadth!
Below the stage, some of the piggies sighed in pity.
The moment he dodged the skill, an emoticon suddenly lit up on top of Ike's head.
On the emoticon, Teemo squinted his eyes and gave Haro a sneaky thumbs up!
Below the stage, there was a roar of laughter. The originally tense atmosphere of the audience suddenly became much more cheerful.
The bullet screen was also discussing the two's actions in real time.
[Showing off, right?]
[This Olaf?
Do you think you're funny?]
[Second Prince, right?
It's similar to when Ancestor Sai Wen danced on a pig in front of Smile.]
[What?
The emoticon wheel set by the fist is not allowed to show off?]
[It's not that it can't be shown. If you get killed by Mie Quan in 20 minutes, don't go crying on Weibo and scold others for not being virtuous. Hehe.]
Doll in the commentator's seat couldn't help but laugh. "Factory Director caught first, then Second Prince caught second."
"He's willing to expose his own position to lower Brother Ran's health. He's trying to reduce his influence on the situation in the early game as much as possible!"
Lin Yan controlled Ike to retreat under the tower. He still had 30% health left. Seeing Haro walk up the middle lane, he quickly understood Olaf's plan.
"Olaf might go after you." Lin Ran's voice was very calm.
Dong Xuebing purposely hid behind the line of minions and provoked Olaf, and Broad Axe accidentally killed two low-health Xiao Bing.
This will slow down Snake Lady's leveling up to level 2.
Lin Yan drank two bottles of reusable potion and waited for the second wave of minions to arrive before using Q to push the minions.
Ike's level 1 Q [Time Curler] only has a cooldown of 9 seconds, and it only costs 50 mana. Lin Yan was fearless.
The junior also knew that his jungler had shared the experience points. When he saw the health of the first minions in the second wave of minions dropping, he knew that if he ate this minions, he would not be able to level up to level 2 like Lin Yan. So, he decisively retreated.
Lin Yan's normal attack ate the minions. The moment he leveled up to level 2, he learned E [Phase Dive]. He immediately used it and jumped forward.
The junior retreated in time and did not give Ike a chance to attack.
But Lin Yan did not give him an inch and controlled Ike to move forward. It looks like he wants to chase Snake Lady out of the minions!
Scout did not expect Lin Yan to be so fierce. But he did not dare to turn around and attack. It was too easy for a level 2 Ike to kill a three-circle Scout.
Scout took two steps back, and Lin Yan was satisfied. He turned around and continued to move forward.
"Xiao Tian is also rushing back to his own jungle. Brother Gongzi from the top lane is also here!"
Mille saw YM's jungler moving towards the red buff camp on the minimap and shouted. "They want to defend this red buff camp!"
"Let's go!" The junior also signaled his jungler. "I need to wait until I am level 2 before I can go!"
"Why are you …" Haro had just started to hit red, and when he heard the reminder, he changed his screen to look at the middle lane.
He knew he had killed two minions in the middle lane to gank, but at the same time, he had also suppressed Lin Yan's health!
How dare Ike suppress him with such low health?
But Haro did not have the energy to care so much. If the situation was not right, he had to retreat!
"Haro, don't hit this red buff. The moment you see Piggy, throw your axe to slow her down!" Mille's voice was clear. "He still has Blink, so escaping shouldn't be a problem …"
Haro might be able to help, but when it came to escaping, he had inherited Ancestor Savin's legacy. He used his skills very decisively and blinked into the dragon pit.
But sometimes, it was not a good thing to use skills too quickly.
Lin Yan had not taken two steps when he saw Olaf blinking out of his own red zone. Knowing that there was no need to continue chasing, he decisively retreated to the middle lane.
But this way, he did not waste much time. When he returned to the game line, he did not lose any EXP.
Lin Yan did not expect such a good thing. He gave his opponent another thumbs up emoji.
Haro looked at Ike's despicable expression and gritted his teeth.
His original plan was to invade YM's blue zone, take a wave of Lin Yan's health while he was at level 2, and then go up to YM's red buff.
If he succeeded, Haro would be able to disrupt Xiao Tian's development, and at the same time, he would be able to move to the top lane.
If Xiao Tian was forced to go to the bottom lane to develop, he could take advantage of the situation and force his way up. His junior in the middle lane only needed to bind Lin Yan normally, and Lin Yan would not even be able to teleport.
However, all of this had been planned by Lin Ran on purpose. Haro had lost his axe and had taken two beasts, causing him to not be able to level up to level 2 in the middle lane. His junior had lost his right to support him, which affected Haro's counter-jungler.
A series of chain reactions ruined all of Haro's plans.
Phyllostachys Pubescens was looking for an opportunity as he activated his red buff. "I'll go straight to the bottom lane after killing red and F6. Watch me!"
He was very unhappy with his buddy Olaf on the opposite side. After stealing the blue, he still wanted to steal the red. He was just an early game hero, and he still wanted to show off?
"I can definitely do it. Keep an eye out."
Lin Yan glanced at the position of the minions. Since he and his junior were developing peacefully, he took the opportunity to simulate the next situation in his mind.
He strived to use his free time to carefully consider every detail, no matter how big or small. Only in this way could he maximize his success rate and profits.
He thought of an idea and once again used EQ to fight with his junior.
"Scout used Corruption Potion, Q [Plague Explosion] hit successfully!"
EA hit again. His junior triggered Phase Rush, and the speed of his snake tail became faster and faster!
Lin Yan was not in a hurry. When he was hit by Plague Explosion, he used the key normal attack and triggered Electrocution at the same time. He then sped up and retreated.
Even though [Phase Rush] was much easier to trigger compared to [Storm Rider's Rush], the speed increase had also decreased by a lot. Now, based on the level, it would only increase the speed increase by 25-40%. Lin Ran Ike, on the other hand, would only increase the speed increase by 50% when he hit a hero before level 6.
Lin Ran took another hit from the enhanced version of Twin Venomous Fangs and successfully escaped from the Snake Lady's attack range.
The health that he had raised after taking two potions was pushed back down again. He only had about 30% left.
But this was enough for Lin Yan.
He made an eye in the bushes in the middle lane to prevent the crazy Olaf from catching him again. He then began to push the Cannon Minions.
The minions that had just finished their cooldown came in handy. Lin Yan ate the Cannon Minions, so his junior could only retreat.
The chain reaction of sharing experience from Haro's level two capture was still ongoing. The original three melee minions in the third wave to level three didn't apply to his junior.
He couldn't get level three in front of Ike's minions.
"Brother Ran got level three. He's using W [Time Stagger] to fight!"
Lin Ran purposely waited for the three-circle effect on Lamia to wear off before he continued to heal her. Phase E's [Phase Dive]'s first movement was 325 yards, and the second movement was 550 yards. The total distance was 875 yards!
His junior felt that he wouldn't lose out this time, so he didn't retreat too far. His Q [Plague Explosion] was placed under his feet and his Twin Fangs continued to attack!
As usual, Lin Yan retreated after hitting three rings. With the shield provided by Time Field, he ran out with less than 20% of his health left.
His mana had been drained, but he had used Q [Time Curler] to wipe out the remaining minions. Although he missed some minions, the minions were still pushed forward.
On the other side, the Lamia also didn't have much mana left. Although the Twin Fangs were strong in combat, they consumed mana very quickly when they weren't killing units.
"Go go go, don't stick to the wall. He has a scout here!"
As Lin Yan returned to the city, he used a series of signals to mark the planned route for Xiao Tian in the middle lane.
"No problem, no problem." Xiao Tian rushed over the wall after killing F6, bypassing the scout area marked by Lin Yan and heading straight for the river. "Can you guys stall the enemy at the bottom lane later?
Just don't die! "
"Sure." He tore open his wound and licked his lips. He was still able to bargain. "But you guys have to come to the bottom lane later. Otherwise, the minions will suffer a lot."
Shiba Inu was also responding. EZ + Bull's Head was no match for EDG + Verus + Hammer Stone. Now that their minions were in front of the tower, they would definitely suffer a loss if they exchanged health with the enemy.
If their teammates didn't come to support after the exchange, the minions would probably be forced out of the experience zone after entering the tower, or they would be killed by the tower.
"Okay."
Xiao Tian's lips curled up. He sneaked across the river and plunged into Olaf's jungle without being discovered.
There were still three groups of minions that had not been farmed. Phyllostachys Pubescens was sure that Haro would come. She quietly opened her carefully planned trap, and the next step was to wait for the enemy to plunge into her encirclement.
Sejuani plunged into the bushes next to the red buff camp and started to hack while riding on her pig.
"Huh?"
Mille, who was following the caster's camera, saw this scene and made a puzzled sound. "What is Xiao Tian doing?"
"He's playing a big game of chess!"
Doll's words reminded everyone of Ning Wang's chess spiders last year. The audience below the stage laughed kindly.
Mille pulled the topic back. "Is Xiao Tian really going to wait for Haro?"
"Level 3 Piggy … She can't beat Olaf."
Doll's words were a statement. There was no doubt about it. Although the Piggy now had two buffs, she was definitely no match for Olaf's buddy in a one-on-one.
The two commentators glanced at the bottom lane again. Jack and Liu Qingsong's minions were still under the tower, and there was no way for them to support.
How could they fight back?
Haro thought so too. He didn't expect Phyllostachys Pubescens' Piggy to dare to invade after leveling up to level 3 after farming red and F6.
After he was chased out of YM's red zone, he farmed all the way down from his own Magical Swamp Frog camp. He had just eaten a Razorbeak Bird when he saw the red buff and threw his axe at it.
However, a flail suddenly appeared from the bushes next to him and gave him two layers of frost. At the same time, a dazzling red light fell into the bushes!
Ike's Teleport!
"Look at me!" Haro realized that something was wrong. He picked up his axe and wanted to retreat.
However, Xiao Tian didn't give him the chance. His Q [Arctic Assault] pushed him up and a normal attack gave him three layers of frost!
The Piggies below the stage went from laughing to screaming in surprise. Amidst the chaotic clamor, the caster's camera zoomed in and captured the bottom lane!
"Hammer Stone has rushed to the jungle as soon as possible, but Liu Qingsong's WQ's second combo pushed him up!"
Jack used a small water gun to steal damage from behind. Meiko, who had been hit by Ignite, knew that he had to fight back. After he landed, he used E [Pendulum of Misfortune] to bring Liu Qingsong back, and Q [Death Sentence] hooked him!
"Both supports have been hit with aftershocks. Their HP is still dropping!"
Liu Qingsong took Jack's healing and blinked into the tower to avoid damage. He barely escaped with less than 200 HP left.
Although they had Summoner skills, YM's duo had successfully stalled EDG's bottom lane, preventing them from rushing to the jungle to support Haro!
"Lamia has cleared the turrets under the tower and is also rushing to the jungle …" Mille noticed another detail. "But she doesn't have much mana left!"
Scout had been forced by Lin Yan to switch HP frequently, so his mana was very low. However, he could not return to the city without getting the Goddess' Tear.
Even though he had brought the [Mana Belt], the belt refunded the cost of the skill every minute and recovered 8% of the mana he had lost. He did not have much mana left.
"Red Pig's buff is burning Olaf. Normal attack has caused the fourth layer of Frost effect!"
Eternal Frost Domain!
Sejuani roared and waved her chains to freeze Olaf in place.
After the new version's enhancement, Lin Yan landed with 3.5 seconds of channeling time. He was not in a hurry to use Temporal Field. Instead, he used E [Phase Dive] and Q [Time Curler] to stack three rings on Haro.
"Another hit. Three rings and Electrocution are triggered at the same time!"
Haro's HP dropped by a lot. He was forced to use his Punishment on the red buff.
Both Pig and Ike were holding Flash. Haro knew that it would be difficult for him to escape. He simply turned around and started hacking with his axe!
Olaf was very brave. However, Lin Yan's W [Time Stagger] had a killing effect on enemies with less than 30% HP. Even normal attack damage was not low.
"Junior rushed over and cast Bind to heal. He also wanted to save his teammates. But it was useless!"
Lamia had used the free skill provided by the Mana Belt and recovered a little bit of mana. However, it was only enough to cast [Toxic Explosion] and a Twin Venomous Fangs.
"Die!" Xiao Tian was very excited. He cooperated with Lin Yan's normal attack to finish off Olaf.
Olaf helplessly threw away his double axes and lay in the mud.
Lin Yan and Xiao Tian's heads lit up with Teemo's thumbs.
[Good kill!]
[Thumbs up?
You've never been beaten before, right?]
[I'm dying of laughter. You have to make thumbs up when you're in the middle lane. If you don't die five times in this round, I'll change my surname to yours.]
"Bring it on!"
Lin Yan's hands were very fast. He waved the Z Drive and cast W [Time Stagger] behind Lamia while flashing a sneaky thumbs up emoji.
"Junior can only retreat. He used the Phase Rush effect to run back and out of Ike's Time Field range without looking back!"
Lin Yan could only watch him leave. The effect of Bind was really disgusting. He couldn't even use Flash.
"I'll take the red buff and go to the bottom lane!"
Mongoose took over the red buff. Since Haro had already used Punishment, he didn't have to spend much effort to get the red buff.
"Come on, use Flash and go." Jack's eyes lit up. "Hammer Stone didn't ignite!"
The minions had already reached the middle lane. Lin Yan couldn't go to the bottom lane because he didn't have any Artillery Soldiers. Otherwise, he would lose too many minions.
Xiao Tian was left to go to the bottom lane. He would probably only be able to use a skill.
"Hammer Stone hasn't reached Level 3 yet. Without a lantern, Verus can only use Flash!"
It had to be said that the iboy's reaction was always good. He controlled Verus to use Flash to avoid the Pig Girl's Pig Rush that was hiding in the shadows of the wall.
Liu Qingsong returned to the city as usual. He licked his lips to record the time of the opponent's summoner skill and glanced at the minions.
"Put the line in, put it in!" He said to Xiao Tian and Jack, who were still trying to get the line in.
This wave of minions could get stuck, but it wasn't necessary.
Let the minions enter the tower and slowly finish them off. There was still a chance to pass the tower.
Lin Yan glanced at the minions on the bottom lane. "I'll go to the bottom lane for the sixth wave. Jack, can you not be a Goddess of Tears?"
"… Don't worry, I don't have enough money." Shiba Inu's voice was full of resentment. "Can I buy a longsword?"
"Yes, yes."
Lin Yan faced the minions in the middle lane. With the two rings in hand and the minions' Purifier, he had no problem pushing the line in front of the Lamia who didn't have enough mana.
His junior had killed five waves of minions. Together with the System's salary, he had finally managed to save enough money. After clearing the fifth wave of minions, he returned to the city. Goddess' Tear. Lin Ran used the minions to purify them and then purified the artillery vehicles of the sixth wave of minions. After clearing the minions, he turned around and walked down the path.
Next, he would give his opponent a taste of pain!
