"Brother Ran is going straight down. His intentions are very obvious." Mille's tone was urgent. "EDG duo needs to retreat!"
However, EDG duo moved rather slowly. Lin Yan controlled Ike to climb over the wall and easily arrived behind the tower to block them.
The effect of Liu Qingsong's previous attempt to sneak into the tower was finally showing. A large wave of turrets was slowly advancing towards the bottom of EDG's tower!
"Haro has been forced to the top half. Now he can only catch Brother Tribute to stop his losses …" Doll glanced at the minimap. "Junior is rushing down the bottom lane from the fountain, but he's too slow!"
Junior saw Lin Yan brazenly going to the bottom lane, but he could do nothing about it!
Lamia couldn't use shoes.
If it were any other mid laner hero, junior would have given up on Goddess' Tears and used Killer Ring and Straw Sandals to support his teammates.
Why couldn't Lamia wear shoes?
Was Fist blatantly discriminating against species?
Junior was trembling in anger, but he could only watch as the level 5 Ike NTR the bottom lane duo right in front of his own tower!
"Bull's Head is the first to tank the tower. WQ's second combo has triggered aftershock!"
Lin Yan aimed at Verus, who had flashed in the previous wave. With Temporal Field under iboy's feet, E Phase Dive swung Z-Resonance and knocked Verus on the head!
"Electrocution has been triggered. The damage is very high!"
The enthusiasm of the commentator and the live audience rushed towards the players' seats on both sides of the stage from all directions!
Unwilling to give up, Meiko was still trying to control it.
He used Pendulum of Misfortune to push Ike away, while the hook of Death Sentence flew towards Lin Yan.
A teeth-numbing dragging sound could be heard. He had successfully controlled Lin Yan!
Meiko's eyes lit up. He threw a lantern at iboy's feet, and then triggered his second combo to fly towards Ike behind the tower!
"Simple lantern! Simple lantern!" Meiko shouted, the facial features on his fair face slightly distorted.
Flatfish had quick reflexes and lit up the lantern at the first opportunity, while YM frantically stuck the eyes on the lantern. However, they couldn't stop Verus from throwing himself into Hammer Stone's arms!
Jack Ezreal's Q successfully hit, but it only shattered the shield bestowed by the lantern.
"Meiko can really operate it?"
Amidst the familiar wailing, Hammer Stone used Blink again, bringing Verus away from the defense tower and the encirclement of the three YM players!
Lin Yan was expressionless. After recovering from the drag state, he controlled Ike to smash Verus, who was flying in the air.
W [Time Stagger]'s passive killing effect had reduced Verus' HP. He, who had already activated his third ring of acceleration, chased after Verus.
Under the EDG tower at the back, the Q [Time Curler] that had been cast earlier was retracted, and it swiftly pounced towards Ike.
With the golden special effect of the Sand of Time, Ike was like a ray of light!
Ike, who had already used up all his skills, could only watch as Ike accelerated to his side, the Time Curler scraping his body and emptying his last sliver of HP!
Meiko's excited expression instantly wilted. Beside her, Ike sighed, like a veteran who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
"Beautiful control!"
Mille's commentary echoed in the stadium. "After killing Verus, YM can take the opportunity to recruit Lil 'Dino!"
The caster then switched the camera to the top lane, where Ray led a large wave of minions into the tower, and together with Haro, they crossed the tower to kill Jin Gong.
"You tank first, you tank first …" Haro knew that his own Big Tree's Aftershock could tank the tower's damage, and wanted his teammates to go first.
Although Ray didn't understand, he had years of experience as a professional player, and immediately rushed over with W [Distorted Stab].
However, their luck wasn't too good. Jin Gong's Aggro was around half, and while he was being hit, he used Boomerang to slow down his opponent, quickly accumulating Aggro, and successfully increased his Aggro before his HP disappeared.
Jin Gong's survival instincts were quite strong, and he flashed and used W [Devastating Blow], using the tower to play the game of Qin Wang circling around the pillar!
In the end, although they killed Jin Gong, Ray, who was tanking the tower, also died.
Haro was left alone with a smile, swinging his axe and enduring the pain of another wave of minions.
"What the f * ck …" Ray cursed with the fastest swear word he had learned. Clearly, he was unwilling to accept his death this time.
"It's fine, it's fine. I'm very fat."
Haro's gaze was dejected, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Such a contradictory expression appeared on his face at the same time.
In this wave of gank, he had eaten a Gnar's head, collected a wave of minions, and was able to counter a group of YM's Stone Beetles. He had eaten to the brim, and in an instant, he had regained the growth he had lost after losing 1 HP. He had a tight grasp on nutrition.
Why would a Big Tree eat a human head?
Did you think I came here to gank a Big Tree?
At the bottom of the canyon, the Marine Viper let out a cry and fell under Ike's Happy Wand. Mille stared at the dragon pit without blinking.
A round green totem appeared on the wall, and the water element contained within it was full of vitality!
"The next one is a Water Dragon!"
Doll blurted out, and then she was a little worried. "To be honest, this Elemental Dragon's attribute isn't very good for YM's lineup."
Mille agreed. "After all, YM's lineup isn't very good at lane matchups, it's more of a drag on the flanks … To be honest, a Wind Dragon is much better than this."
Lin Yan, on the other hand, was very optimistic. He had killed this little dragon out of convenience. If the Water Dragon had enough health, he wouldn't have to return to the city, and he could kill until he died.
When he rushed back to the lane, the junior who was the first to return to the middle lane had already pushed the minions under YM's tower. Although Lin Yan had lost two minions, it wasn't a big problem.
"Scout is constantly using Haro to help out in the middle lane." Mille saw Olaf appear again. After the axe hit, he wanted to chase after him, but Lin Yan pulled away from him with Phase Dive. He could only pick up his axe and throw it again. At the same time, he flashed a thumbs up. "This guy has to lock down Brother Ran!"
In less than two minutes, Olaf came to the middle lane three times. He didn't get a kill each time, but he either lowered Lin Yan's health or forced him to move, making him miss his attacks.
It was obvious that he was here to annoy him. Now, Lin Yan could only AFK under the tower with half his health.
Xiao Tian couldn't do anything. The jungle advantage he had before was wiped out by Haro's serum-sucking minions after killing Jin Gong on the top lane.
Under such circumstances, he didn't dare to come to the middle lane for a 2v2 before he reached level 6.
After all, the EDG Lamia + Olaf mid-laner combination was quite strong. Lin Yan had to teleport and heal when facing his junior, so he had one less skill to use.
"It's okay, let him come. You go help the other lanes." Lin Yan's tone was relaxed. He was not affected by Olaf and Lamia.
He knew that his teammates couldn't help him much, so there was no need to force Xiao Tian to AFK in the middle lane.
This was a team game. After a few years of version changes, especially after S7's deformed censer system, the game designers had obviously made changes in this area. It was now very difficult to have a 1v5 situation.
The easiest way to win the game was to make a few teammates stronger. Lin Yan, except for some games where he used Tsar and Kassadin, would not eat three lanes under normal circumstances.
He was now eager for the opponent to catch him so that Jin Gong and Jack could quickly develop.
Xiao Tian heard his mid laner's words and decisively went to the top lane to help the Sheba.
Although Ray had received an assist in the last tower jump, his development was still too poor. A large wave of minions had been taken by Haro himself.
As a result, he only had Doran's Shield, Cloth Armor, and Red Crystal. This was not enough in front of YM's jungler. Nale jumped into the defense tower with Rage. Together with Xiao Tian's W [Wrath of the Winter], he used multiple crowd control skills to kill the Big Tree.
"The death this time is too heavy. Ray has to teleport and Olaf has to drop a group of Demonic Swamp Frogs!" Doll laughed. "Why does Haro have to go for the mid lane?
He can't kill Brother Ran at all. "
Ray's familiar pig liver face appeared again. He looked at the jungler who was still in the middle lane and felt very aggrieved.
He had died twice and still did not get a kill. How was he going to deal with Ike and Nale's crazy laning later?
Just thinking about it made him worried. He could not help but feel dissatisfied. He muttered three sentences softly. Junior who was controlling Lamia to finish off the minions in the middle lane habitually went through these few sentences in his mind and was ready to translate them into Chinese.
"Uh …" Scout deliberated over his words. "Haro, Brother Zhao wants you to go to the top lane and help him once."
"That's it?"
Haro was suspicious. He clearly heard Ray mumbling for a long time. He did not expect Ray to be able to summarize it in one sentence in Chinese.
Chinese was really broad and profound.
Of course, Haro would not tell him that he cut out every three sentences. Instead, he followed the topic and said, "He said he will take care of the minions."
Haro saw that Lin Yan was still hiding behind and knew that he could not kill him by force. He decided to go back to the city to restock his equipment and went to the top lane.
"This time, I'll give you the kill, Brother Ray," he promised.
Ray turned his head and glanced at his junior after listening to his translation.
Haro also knew that he had let his teammate down. He quickly added, "Don't worry, I'll keep my promise this time!"
Xiao Tian had just returned to the city to restock his equipment when he noticed that Haro had appeared in the top half of EDG. He quickly canceled his plan to go to the bottom half of EDG to farm the blue buff and went to the top half instead.
"Brother Ran, let's go together!" He was ready to give the opponent a Counter Crouch Set.
"Wait, I'll fight a round with Snake Girl first." Lin Ran's mind was full of twists and turns. He knew that the key to the Counter Crouch this time was to not let his junior go to the top lane. Just like when he supported the red BUFF to take down Olaf's first life, he had to go all out and cripple the Scout. "Brother Siba, be careful!"
Jin Gong saw that Haro had appeared in the top half of EDG. He was muttering curses at Siba, but his body was honest. He immediately retreated back to his own tower.
Lin Yan looked at Lamia, who was clearing the line opposite him. He went around to the side and blocked her shadow vision.
He had just reached Level 6, but he had not learned R [Spacetime Rupture]. This was also Ike's basic skill. After reaching Level 6, there was no need to learn a big move unless it was a critical moment. This way, he could hide his shadow and not let the opponent discover his movements.
Lin Yan used W [Time Stagger] to catch the opponent off guard. He dived over the wall with E Phase and successfully stuck to the junior's face with two displacement movements!
"Lamia, lay down the ground and pull away to the side. Twin Venomous Fangs keep biting!"
After Phase Rush was triggered, the junior kept chasing after Ike, trying to hit Ike's big move. However, a Temporal Field suddenly appeared under his feet!
"Lamia wants to pull away, but this Temporal Field is placed in a very tricky position. It's right behind him!"
If he ran back, he would definitely step on the Temporal Field and be stunned by Ike. In this case, the junior had no chance of winning. Although Ike did not show his shadow, he knew that retreating would be close to Ike's previous movement trajectory.
After being frozen by the Temporal Field, Ike could use a big move. In this version, the Temporal Assassin could use the WR mechanism to hit a double stun. Without purification, Lamia would die no matter what.
The junior relied on his years of experience and extraordinary talent to quickly judge the current situation. He did not dodge. Instead, he subconsciously paused, wanting to let Lin Yan close the distance and hit him with the three passive rings.
Lin Yan, who was still stepping on the Binding Poison Cloud, did not expect such a good thing. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and hit him with his stick.
However, when the mouse clicked on Lamia and Ike was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Lin Yan's heart suddenly tightened. He quickly swung the mouse up, like a sniper in an FPS game, and the pointer was thrown behind him!
After Ike turned around to face the junior, he immediately turned around and had his back facing him!
The moment Ike turned around again, Lamia suddenly burst out with a sharp and ear-piercing scream!
A fan-shaped field bloomed in front of Cassiopeia!
R [Petrifying Gaze]!
"Lamia's big move didn't have a petrifying effect!" Doll raised her voice. "How did Ike dodge it?!"
Amidst the deafening cheers and screams of the fans below the stage, the junior was dumbfounded. How could this work?
He wanted to trick Lin Yan into turning around and hitting him with the three rings. When he faced him with the normal attack, it would be the perfect time to cast the R [Petrifying Gaze].
Ike, who was in the Binding state, couldn't use his R to dodge the petrification. As long as he was in control mode, he would be able to kill Lin Yan with his Q [Toxic Explosion] and two Twin Fangs.
This was a chance for a solo kill!
Soloing Lin Yan now was the same as soloing Faker two years ago. For ordinary players, this was something they could brag about until they retired. For example, Umbrella Eun Suk.
Moreover, this was a more valuable one-on-one kill!
When Scout saw Lin Yan turn around, he had already thought about how he would lead the team to victory after completing the solo kill.
He did not expect Lin Yan to twist his body again!
What's going on?
The petrification did not hit Ike. The junior's mind went blank for a moment. After Lin Yan hit him with the three rings, he sped up and ran out of the Binding.
Even with the Twin Fangs, Lin Yan still managed to escape with 20% of his HP!
The director was also shaken. Out of curiosity, they immediately replayed the scene.
With the slow-motion and magnification, everyone saw clearly that Lin Yan was like a spinning top. He turned his body twice in a short period of time and dodged Snake Lady's big move!
This time, the live audience reacted even more excitedly. They waved the YM banners and support sticks in their hands with all their might. Their voices mixed together and passed through the soundproof headphones, reaching the ears of the 10 players in the stadium.
[Scout is dizzy from the show. How can he play this?]
[Never Petrify!]
[His control is so smooth. He's not afraid at all.]
[Is he trying to trick Snake Lady into using her big move?
He's so brave. If he gets petrified, he'll get a solo kill. I really admire him for showing off his control.]
[Ran: I don't even have a problem fighting Li Xianghe, let alone a substitute for Faker.]
The junior's face was ashen. As an operational mid laner who had risen to fame in recent years, Lin Yan's actions just now were like a provocation to him — I heard your control is very good?
I jumped in, I jumped out again. Hit me, idiot.
Defeating the opponent in their area of expertise was the easiest way to destroy the opponent's confidence.
Scout felt that he needed to beat up two noobs to calm himself down … But in the blink of an eye, he remembered that because they were in the same division, EDG would have to meet YM again.
F * ck!
Jack, who was watching from the bottom lane while Q Soldier, witnessed this moment with his own eyes. He frantically tapped Lin Yan's avatar.
"Oh my, you're too daring, Brother Ran?"
Lin Yan laughed and scolded, "Don't blindly tap. I still have to refresh the cooldown of my skills."
The team chat box originally had the cooldown record of the opponent's summoner skills, but now it had been refreshed by Jack's continuous tapping on the avatar. Lin Yan had to copy and paste it again to remove the information.
The Shiba Inu's jesting livened up the atmosphere of the team. Lin Yan's tensed back muscles finally relaxed.
The audience, the commentators, and even the professional players thought that Lin Yan was deliberately licking the blood on the tip of the blade, but only he knew how dangerous it was just now.
Snake Lady's big move was not difficult to dodge. After all, the movement of raising her hand was very obvious. However, the key detail was the timing of the big move. The junior's control just now was not perfect.
If Lin Yan had used the big move when he hit the three-circle basic attack, he would not have been able to dodge it since he was bound to the ground. After all, to cancel the basic attack, he had to press S, and then quickly drag the mouse to the bottom to control Ike to turn around.
It was very difficult to complete this series of operations in the gap between the Snake Lady's raising hand and casting action. He was basically petrified.
However, this was not an obvious mistake on the junior's part. After all, they were all professional players, and could even be said to be the top mid laners in the professional eSports circle. The time to think in a confrontation was fleeting.
The junior was definitely not a noob to be able to react the way he did when he was not prepared for his own vision blocking skill.
Lin Yan cleared the minions as usual. At the limit of the distance, he used Q [Time Curler] and Minions Purifier to push away this wave of ordinary minions without Artillery Launchers.
Then, he used E [Phase Dive] to enter his own Beak Bird camp through the wall. Then, he walked to the red buff camp and leisurely returned to the city.
The junior took two steps forward, but he did not see Lin Yan's position. There was not even a shadow.
"The opponent's mid laner may go to the top lane, but his health is very low …" Scout reminded as usual, "I can't pass this wave without my status."
"I know, I know," Ray proposed decisively. "Let's make a move and get Narr. Don't waste time!"
Haro was still hesitating. Ike was not very troublesome. The key was that he did not know the exact location of the pig girl.
Ray could not wait any longer. He pushed the line and directly used R Tree World Descent.
"Let's fight!"
Haro also made up his mind. After all, he was young and impetuous. Previously, he showed his flag to disgust Lin Yan. Firstly, it was to take revenge for the previous game. Secondly, it was to make his presence known.
Although he was nicknamed the Second Prince, his playing style was completely different from Ancestor Savon's.
He was reckless, but not meticulous enough.
"Are we really going to go over?"
Mille, who was standing in God's view, opened the full map. He subconsciously questioned when he saw EDG's jungler rushing towards Narr like a moth to a flame. "Narr's aggro is very good. His teammates are also rushing over here!"
Jin Gong's understanding of tanking was second to none. As long as he was warned in advance, Narr's aggro control was quite good.
At this time, Narr was bound by the R Vine of Big Tree. Just as Ray used W Twisting Stab and was about to bind him, Narr turned into a golden statue with a ding!
"It's the stopwatch again!"
Doll was mentally prepared this time and was not surprised. "Brother Gongzi can drag it out for 2.5 seconds!"
Jin Gong wanted to use the stopwatch to persuade the opponent to give up on going over the tower. However, he did not expect EDG to have two top laners.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Haro did not want to leave after he used his sword. He rushed in with his axe.
"Quick, protect him!" Jin Gong shouted loudly, using the words he learned from the Internet two days ago.
At this time, Lin Yan had finished replenishing his equipment — Hex Tech Revolver + Straw Sandals. Originally, he wanted to wait for the spring water to recover a little more health. He did not expect EDG to be so decisive.
He could only use R Skill, activate Spacetime Rupture, and return to the red buff camp where Ike was four seconds ago. He then quickly rushed to the top lane!
"Jin Gong is still trying to drag it out. After he grows bigger, he wants to use R Skill to smash EDG's jungler into the wall —"
"Demacia!"
Olaf, who had been upgraded to Level 6, activated his ultimate skill, Ragnarok. His whole body turned red and he was immune to crowd control. His axe slashed Narr's body!
Jin Gong could only continue to circle around the defense tower to increase the distance between them. He threw stones at the Big Tree, trying to kill the opponent who was tanking the tower first.
"It's about time. You continue tanking!"
Ray did not care if his teammates understood. He calculated his health and activated Golden Body, transferring the aggro of the defense tower away!
"EDG is determined to kill Narr. Mongoose and Brother Ran have arrived at the battlefield!"
Along with the shouts of the commentator, Pig Sis and Ike both appeared at the side of the defense tower!
When Mongoose saw his amiable old father who specialized in neck attacks being ganged up on under the tower, his eyes immediately turned red. He threw out R Skill, Arctic Hell, from a distance and pressed his body to hit Ray's Big Tree!
Lin Yan, on the other hand, used E Phase to dive over the wall and hit Olaf's head with his weapon!
"The Big Tree has been killed by Xiao Tian … Jin Gong, Narr is not dead yet!"
The Precision talent, Triumphant Return, was activated!
Jin Gong recovered a chunk of his health, preventing himself from being killed by Olaf's axe.
Lin Yan, on the other hand, used QA to kill Haro!
Jin Gong, who only had a sliver of health left, took a second Triumphant Return. He withstood a wave of concentrated fire from the minions and successfully survived!
The screams of the female fans below the stage were extremely ear-piercing, shaking everyone's eardrums!
Another two Timothy emojis appeared above Lin Yan and Xiao Tian's heads.
[So despicable!]
[Keep it up!
Doesn't Second Prince like to show off emojis?]
[This bowl, this bowl is EDG trying to get off work quickly!
Hasten Death Plan is a success!]
[That's awesome. They even dared to climb this tower?]
Haro's face was ashen. After this round of 0 for 2, the match was basically over.
Narr and Ike's early development was not hindered at all. On the other hand, Ray's Big Tree had died three times. Whether in terms of level or economy, it was much worse.
When YM started to push from 131 points later, they had no way to stop the flanks from pushing.
Ray was so angry that he felt a dull pain in his chest.
What did they say before the match?
Pick the Big Tree and win crying?
I f * cking picked the Big Tree and I still have to lose crying!
However, the match was not over yet. He could not complain to his teammates, so he could only hold it in.
At 12 minutes, YM, who had obtained the vanguard in the canyon, took the lead in breaking EDG's tower. Then, they began to switch lanes and use Ike and Narr's strength to push and destroy the tower!
At 15 minutes, EDG's three outer towers were all broken. The economy gap was further widened.
The defense of the tower caused the vision of the jungle to be at a disadvantage. Haro had nowhere to develop, and his level was gradually pulled away from Xiao Tian.
As the match entered the middle stage, Olaf became more and more tired. Coupled with the lack of equipment support, it was extremely awkward.
In every team battle, he used ultimate skills to avoid crowd control. He would be melted in less than two seconds after rushing into the crowd of YM players.
At the end of the 26-minute match, Haro's record was at 174. If this was a random game, his family would have been confiscated by his teammates.
[Second Prince is just like this?]
[He's not as good as Old Ancestor Sai Wen. At least he will protect KDA. Haro is just a gift!]
[Don't embarrass him. This bowl is the Intel i7 that Haro developed for the glory of the country. Why don't you applaud?]
[If he doesn't strengthen them, there's no hope for EDG this year. We can't rely on these few people to go to the international tournament, right?]
Second Prince looked at Lin Yan, who was once again lighting up with a thumbs-up emoji outside his own spring. His sneaky thumbs up seemed to be a response to Lin Yan's overconfidence.
