"After killing Lulu, Blind Monk doesn't plan to leave. He and Lucian are going to threaten RW's first tower!"
Rita saw YM Nakano's movements clearly and said worriedly, "Kesha has already returned.
Now she's rushing back to the bottom lane with Law. It just so happens that the minions are about to disappear. RW won't be able to do any more damage to the defense tower … What about the first tower? "
Seeing the YM duo in full health appear in his field of vision, the first thing he wanted to do was to retreat.
"Don't go, don't go, I'll go down and pack 2!"
Ah Guang shouted loudly. He showed his outstanding gaming IQ by switching with Jin Gong in advance and then returning to the city.
Jin Gong had a big advantage against Ryze in the early and mid stages of the game, so the switch was a great success. When Jin Gong returned to the city, he found that the top lane's minions were in a bad position, so he had to use Teleport to protect his own growth.
Ah Guang was on his way to the bottom lane and was about to reach the second tower.
"Wait for another wave of minions. Go and eat the River Crab!" Asura decided to take advantage of YM's duo once more and continue to increase his advantage.
"Can you guys succeed?"
The revived Doinb had already walked out of the middle lane. "I might not be able to defend YM Nakano alone!"
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to lower the team's morale, he would have removed the word "might" from the sentence.
Lulu, who hadn't reached level 6 yet, only had cloth armor, corruption potions, and buff tomes. There was no way she could defend the first tower.
He thought about it again. "It's okay. You guys go ahead. I'll help you stall."
With this equipment, there was only one way for Lulu to stall YM Nakano — trade her life for his.
Ignoring the fact that Nakano had broken all ties with him, Doinb's desire to win was quite strong just by talking about his performance on the field.
In order to win, he was willing to make necessary sacrifices at certain times on the field.
"Ah Guang will be in position soon. I'll pretend to leave the bottom lane. In fact, I killed the River Crab and ran back in a circle!"
"Kesha didn't use Blink. Kill him first, then kill Law."
Ah Guang's thought process was very clear. As long as there were no allies nearby, Lo's E [Dance of the Pair] would be useless, and his ability to escape would be greatly reduced.
The troll that rushed out of the triangular grass roared angrily. A shockingly thick pillar broke out of the ground behind Kesha, and Kesha's heart trembled from the force of the impact!
Jack and Liu Qingsong had just returned to the game when RW's jungler caught them off guard before they had the chance to set up a lookout around them!
"I can fight, I can fight!" Jack felt that Asura and Prophet hadn't returned to the city to replenish their equipment, so he could still control them.
But then, he saw a tall and burly Undead War God charging out of the bushes!
"I …"
Retreat and flee!
Liu Qingsong's E [Light Dance in Pairs] stuck to the Shiba Inu and tried to use W [Grand Entrance] to force the opponent back and block the opponent's skill explosion.
"But without Flash, Kesha can't escape from RW's encirclement!"
Troll's pillar had an amazing suppressive effect on the Shiba Inu, who hadn't reached Level 6, could only be trampled by the opponent!
Liu Qingsong's Double Dance moved back to Jack's side, and then he sold off his own ADC without looking back.
"The nimble Law escaped easily. Kesha can only surrender her life!"
On the other side, Doinb was still holding YM's jungler back, preventing him from going down to support his teammates.
Lucian, who had eaten two kills and gained all the EXP from his minions, was the only one who had reached Level 6. Lu Xian, who had an ultimate skill, could crush everyone in RW. If Lin Yan went down, he might actually be able to control the situation.
Lulu's Shining Spear slowed down YM's jungler, and the Pixar on her wand seemed to be taunting them.
"Kill him!" Phyllostachys Pubescens was annoyed and said fiercely, "He's so annoying!"
Lin Yan glanced at the match time in the upper right corner.
Previously, Lulu had used Enfeeble at 2: 41. As everyone knew, Enfeeble's cooldown was as high as 210 seconds. Lin Yan knew that Doinb didn't bring Astral Insight, nor did he buy items like Boots of Clarity that could reduce the cooldown of summoners' skills.
In other words, Doinb's Enfeeble would be healed at 6: 11. He had also recorded the cooldown of this key skill in the team chat. There were still 22 seconds until the cooldown.
"If you want to kill him, kill him quickly. He doesn't have Enfeeble." He made a prompt decision.
After receiving Lin Yan's reply, Phyllostachys Pubescens immediately turned around and used Eye of Truth. He came to Lulu's side and used Sky Thunder Break!
Following that was a Heavenly Sound Wave!
"Lulu put a shield on herself, and she's still holding Polymorph!"
Ze Yuan didn't expect YM Nakano to make a move. In his opinion, Lucian and Blind Monk, who hadn't reached Level 6, wouldn't be able to kill Lulu.
However, all the players present knew that as long as the Heavenly Sound Wave hit Lulu, Doinb, who didn't have two summoners, would never survive. Lulu's current damage was very low. If she wanted to defend against the tower, most of the damage would be dealt by the tower.
On the other hand, Blind Monk's current HP was about six hits before he died from the tower. This would take seven seconds. During this time, Blind Monk and Lucian could kill Lulu even if they just dealt a lot of damage.
Most importantly, RW's other four teammates were all in the bottom lane. None of them could save Lulu at this time.
Doinb saw the Heavenly Sound Wave mark above his head and knew that he was doomed.
Drag it out, I'll drag it out!
I know I'm going to die, but I'll drag it out!
He left Polymorph to Lucian, who had higher burst damage, and tried to live a little longer.
Lin Yan, who had recovered from Polymorph, raised his guns. Penetrating Holy Light and two passive bullets easily killed Lulu!
"I'm counting on you guys for this round." Doinb took a sip of water from his paper cup. He knew that he was done for.
"Three deaths in six minutes!"
Rita couldn't help but raise her voice. "This Lulu is suffering from continuous tower jumps!"
"But for RW, it's still acceptable." Ze Yuan was very optimistic. "It's mainly because this is Lulu. As long as the core, Azreal, is not bad, it'll be fine."
"Now the other four RW players are focusing on YM's tower. YM Nakano is doing the same …" The caster split the screen into two and showed the progress of both sides' tower jumps.
Since RW had gathered four players at the same time, and Doinb had stalled for a while in the middle lane, the difference in speed between the two sides was quite big.
When YM's tower fell to critical HP, RW's tower still had 30% of its HP left.
"You guys go, I'll eat by myself!" Asura said as he sent a warning signal to his teammates.
When the chubby Asura made this move, he had the charm of Royal's little fatty 13.
However, no one in RW had any objections.
In this round, the team was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of BP and formation. Asura's Azreal was the only DPS in the lineup.
It was necessary to provide him with sufficient financial support.
"It's too late to go back and defend the middle lane. Come, let's kill the little dragon!" Ah Guang had a clear view of the overall situation.
"Ah Guang, you stay in the bottom lane. We'll switch lanes later!"
Asura and his teammates all left, and the turret cannons killed as many of their own minions as possible. Only then did they launch a normal attack to take down the tower with critical HP.
It was now 6 minutes and 15 seconds.
"RW's tower will be taken down by Brother Ran. Both sides will exchange a tower and a kill. RW will get the little dragon and the tower bounty, while YM's tower will have a higher strategic value."
Doinb's tower in the middle lane was turned into ruins by the combined efforts of Lucian and Blind Monk!
"Let's go back to the city. I want to restock my equipment."
The middle tower bounty was split evenly. Xiao Tian had quite a bit of money in his bag. He could go back and buy Caulfield's Warhammer and Straw Sandals.
With Blind Monk's help, Lucian took the next wave of minions into his bag. He read the return action and pulled out his gun to shoot at Coke Can.
However, three seconds later, Lucian suddenly put away his gun and walked down with Blind Monk, who also canceled the return action.
The backstage casters were about to cut the camera to the little dragon to see how it died. They didn't expect YM's Nakano to cause trouble. They were also stunned.
Fortunately, there was a long delay between the early stages of the match and the broadcast. Otherwise, they would have embarrassed themselves.
The casters cursed in their hearts and quickly changed the camera.
From RW's perspective, YM's midlaner returned to the city after clearing out the minions. By the time the residual vision provided by the minions' corpses disappeared, they had lost all traces of the blind monk and Lucian.
The RW players thought that Lin Yan and Xiaosu had gone back to resupply. They didn't expect the two to stick to the edge of the wall and head straight for RW's blue zone!
"Brother Ran and Xiao Tian are also trying to trick their opponents with their vision!"
Ze Yuan got excited. "They're circling around the Beak Bird camp in the upper half of the map before gank the bottom lane!"
An eye for an eye!
"They won't be able to see us if we stay here."
Lin Yan led Phyllostachys Pubescens through the narrow path between RW's blue buff camp and Triple Wolf's camp. They turned a corner and hid in the bushes next to the blue buff camp.
For the past two minutes, RW had been attacking the bottom lane. Since the green jungler and the Eye Stone had been removed, the team's early game vision was severely lacking. Once they set up their attacking positions, they wouldn't have the energy to set up their own defensive positions in the jungle.
YM rarely roamed the bottom lane in the early game, so there was no need for RW to set up defensive positions. This made Lin Yan even more certain that there were no eyes here.
Based on what he knew, the Trolls would farm from bottom to top in the first round, which meant that RW's blue buff would respawn first. According to the time stamp provided by the minimap, the exact respawn time of the buff camp was 6 minutes 44 seconds.
It had only been a few seconds since then.
With a dragon's roar, the news that Xiaosu had killed the Mountain Viper spread throughout Summoner's Canyon!
"Come come come, I'll help you get a blue buff!"
Xiaosu knew that Troll didn't really need the blue buff and wanted to give it to Doinb, whose development had been severely damaged in the early game.
Jin Tai responded and used his Shining Spear to eat the small soldiers that were pushed to the front of the tower. Then, he activated W's [Wonderful Idea] and rushed over. He stood in the middle of the blue buff camp and the three wolves camp and helped to deal damage to the wild monsters.
"Wait, wait …" Lin Yan calculated the time and told Phyllostachys Pubescens not to make a move.
The screams of the audience that were suppressed in their throats rose and fell one after another, spreading throughout the LGD eSports Stadium like a prairie fire!
Lucian and Blind Monk stood motionless in the bushes. The King of Troll was only one step away from them!
YM's midlaner lurked there like a man-eating beast, waiting for the opportunity to strike, waiting for the opponent to reveal a fatal flaw!
Eight seconds after the Earth Dragon's death notification disappeared, the Blue Golem's HP had dropped by half.
Lin Yan's Adam's apple moved slightly. According to his guess, if RW's duo had accompanied him to kill the Dragon and pressed the return button when the kill notification appeared, they would have already returned to the spring at the base.
Ah Guang's Cheyenne was still leisurely killing minions in the bottom lane, still three thousand yards away.
No one in RW could interfere with them. Lin Yan had created a great 2v2 situation for the midlaner!
"Fight fight fight! Kill the Troll first!"
Lucian raised both his guns and fired two W bullets at the Troll. As he fired two passive bullets, he slid to the side to increase the distance between them.
Another two bullets were fired, reducing the King of Troll's HP!
Xiaosu was startled by the sudden appearance of YM's midlaner from the bushes beside him. His whole body trembled!
Didn't you guys return to the city?
Why are you here?
Am I playing a horror game?
"Lulu put the E [Help, Pixar] shield on Troll, but it can't withstand such high damage!"
Phyllostachys Pubescens' Heavenly Sound Wave shot out. At such a short distance, Flawless panicked and couldn't react in time. He was hit directly by the skill!
Blind Monk's kick killed Troll, who didn't have time to return to the city to replenish his HP and equipment!
"Follow me! Lulu's Weakened and didn't use Blink!"
Lin Yan's killing intent was aroused. He had yet to use his ultimate skill when he inserted an eye on the wall under Lulu's feet. In the next instant, Blind Monk was right next to her!
"Blind Monk touched the eye and went over the wall to get close to Lulu … He attacked with an Explosive Sphere!"
Mongoose displayed astonishing hand speed as he touched the eye and added points to the Explosive Sphere. The whole action was done in one breath!
In the Summoner's Canyon, Blind Monk and Lulu were both sent flying by the Explosive Sphere and arrived at the blue buff camp!
Doinb's R button was almost broken. At this moment, he displayed a strong desire to live!
However, Lucian, who was holding two guns, was quietly waiting in the monster camp. His eyes were burning with the flames of vengeance that were as hot as lava.
The muzzles of the holy weapons were blooming with holy flames. Lucian roared and leaped into the air. Behind him, a black dragon flapped its wings and flew high!
"Lulu used her ultimate and Weakened, but it didn't work. She couldn't escape from YM Nakano's claws!"
After the ultimate, two normal attacks took away Lulu's life. Ah Guang, who had just arrived, didn't dare to stop YM Nakano. He could only let them take the blue buff and swagger out of his own jungle!
"Oh no, oh no." Ze Yuan shook his head. "This time, even my jungle is going to be blown up. YM is really ruthless. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
Lin Yan returned to the city with more than 2,000 gold coins in his backpack. He synthesized two small pieces of the Blade of the Ruined King, bought a pair of straw sandals, and went straight to the middle lane!
"RW Nakano suffered a great loss this time!"
Even Rita felt that something was wrong. "Lulu is now at 0/4. She only dealt 35 damage in 7 minutes. There is a big gap between her and Lucian's economy!"
What Doinb feared most had happened — Lucian had taken off.
Lin Yan not only squeezed Lulu's growth, but now he had also gained four kills. Coupled with the economy he gained from the defense tower, his growth had leaped to the top.
Now, no one could stop this vengeful Holy Spear Ranger!
…
"Lucian's damage is so high!" Zeyuan's excited voice was mixed with the exclamations of the rest of the audience, instantly igniting the entire arena!
The match in the Summoner's Rift had been going on for 18 minutes. Xiao Tian summoned the Rift Vanguard to help the team push into RW's second tower.
Asura's Enchantment was now fully stacked. He felt that he was at the peak of Azreal's power with his Enchantment Cutter, Ice Fist, and Boots of Clarity. He wanted to take on YM.
However, Lin Yan saw that they were stubbornly defending the middle second tower and made the first move. The R, Holy Spear Baptism, shot out from the muzzle!
Ruin + Enchantment + Enchantment + Yellow Fork + Attack + Boots. The combination of equipment rained down on RW's frontline and reduced Cheyenne and Troll's HP to almost half!
"Karma and Lulu's dual shields can't withstand Lucian's damage …"
Before Ze Yuan's voice trailed off, Jin Gong's Ryze slammed the ground. The Book of Runes had been opened, and a blue teleportation circle appeared under his feet. The terminal was behind RW's tower defense formation!
"Cheyenne has turned around and started charging his Q, Brutal Bash, to prevent YM from sending the opening point behind him!"
Asura also bent down and fired a [Precise Bullet Barrage], trying to reduce the opponent's HP and widen their field of vision. They could only see Lucian at the front, and they had no idea where the other YM players were.
Xiao Fu was even more cautious. His finger was placed on the E button, ready to erect a pillar to block the opponent who wanted to use Ryze's R, Warp Realm Jump, to get behind him.
The golden crescent moon swept across Lucian and Blind Monk's bodies, reducing their HP. The light of Ryze's ultimate teleportation circle gradually dissipated.
Ah Guang was afraid that Liu Qingsong's Luo would come behind him and use her R to control everyone. Therefore, as soon as he realized that the teleportation circle was about to take effect, he used his Q and tried to get up!
The huge Cheyenne waved his weapon and slammed it on the ground like a plow. Brutal Bash, full of power, sent all the creatures in the range flying!
However, when the light completely dissipated, the RW players suddenly realized that there was no hero in Ryze's Warp Realm Jump, but two bums!
"Head on, head on!" Doinb, Ah Guang, and Asura shouted in unison, reminding their teammates to divert their attention.
However, in the next moment, a charming yet elusive figure sped up and cut in from the side!
With a flash of golden light, Luo had rushed into RW's formation in the blink of an eye!
"YM is playing a diversion tactic!"
Ze Yuan's eyes widened, and his speech speed increased to the maximum. "They used Ryze's ultimate as a cover to cover Luo's entrance!"
Liu Qingsong was very meticulous. He knew that Xiaofu still had E Ice Pillar in his hand, so he used Blink to control Luo's Charm and then used W to cut into RW's backline.
Throughout the entire process, Troll could not move at all. He could not use the pillar to block Luo's movement!
Asura's reaction was already very fast, and his [Blink] was very timely. However, Lo's [Roll] and [Blink] were too difficult to deal with. Before he could use [Arcane Leap] to open up a distance, he had already been charmed and knocked away!
"Follow me to kill Ez!"
Tortoise Garlic's sound waves hung on the Giant Demon's body. The second phase Q flew up and touched its eyes in the air. Then, it rushed forward a bit more and plunged headfirst into the RW formation!
Dragon's Tail Whip!
There was another flash of golden light. The Blind Monk had used Flash to change his position during the charging phase of his ultimate move. He passed through Azreal's body and appeared behind him, kicking him towards the YM players!
RW's players who were charmed could not stop him. They could only watch as their core DPS was kicked out of the protective circle!
"Lucian slid close to his face. Two passive shots and Penetrating Holy Light. EZ's HP is almost empty!"
Jack's eyes lit up. He controlled Kesha to move forward in stealth mode. Akashic Rain poured down, and a rain of bullets reaped Azreal's life!
Then, he turned into a purple phantom and crossed half the map. He used R Hunter's Instinct to rush to Lulu's side and began to attack wildly!
"Troll, use the pillar to block YM's formation. Try to finish off Kesha with your teammates!"
Just as the Karma Q's [Soul Flame] was about to hit Kesha, the Void Maiden turned into a golden statue!
The stopwatch allowed Jack to enter a state of stagnation. He was not targeted by RW's attacks.
Lin Yan and Jin Gong, who were still in the frontline, rushed forward. They were not in a hurry to meet up with their teammates. Instead, they went to finish off RW's frontline Cheyenne.
"RW's core DPS is dead. Their remaining four can't pose a fatal threat to YM. Lucian will clean up the battlefield!"
Under the sound of gunshots, HP bars disappeared one by one.
The percentage damage and the armor-piercing effect of Black Ripper were too high. Even if Cheyenne and Troll were frontline tanks, they would not be able to withstand such high damage!
"RW's army is collapsing. They're being split up by YM. They're going to be wiped out!"
Doinb hadn't done anything in the entire team battle. He was already three levels behind Lucian, and was even the same level as Karma, the Prophet. He was a support character, and after a series of attacks from YM, Kesha, Ryze, and Lucian, he was sent back to the hot springs.
"One for five. YM took a head-on blow during Azriel's strong period and won!" Ze Yuan roared in anger. "Their teamwork in the battle was too perfect!"
The bullet screen of the livestream flew past, making it impossible to see clearly.
[The difference in teamwork in this battle is too big. RW is being led around by Ryze's driving.]
[That's all EZ got?
The whole team gave you all the resources, and you only used one big move in the entire battle. Then you suddenly died?]
[You call that a sudden death?
Isn't it YM's fault?]
[Then we'll have four to one. We'll give you the maximum margin for error, but you still can't carry. Isn't that your fault?]
YM's voice chat was filled with laughter. Jack, the only one to die, had obtained two kills in the previous battle. Combined with the team's tower economy, his equipment was now catching up to EZ's.
"Can you kill Lulu until she's super ghostly?"
Mongoose looked at the data panel and saw that Doinb's score had dropped to 074. He was really stuck in a clam port. He laughed wildly.
"Let's see how it goes. If the opponent continues to fight, then there's probably a chance." Lin Yan was not surprised by such a ridiculous score.
After all, Doinb had lost his rhythm after being killed consecutively in the early stages of the battle. He was completely reduced to EZ's pendant. However, he was different from Karma in that he was a mid laner.
This position naturally attracted YM's focus fire. It was normal for Doinb, whose level and equipment could not keep up with the pace, to die consecutively.
"RW's loss in the team battle this time has completely cut off the most crucial mid-game offensive period of their lineup!"
If Ze Yuan could see the problem, then the RW players who were fighting in the Summoner's Canyon were naturally aware of it as well.
However, they had not given up. They planned to fight to the death in the Dragon's Pit.
However, after the previous battle, the equipment gap between the two sides had been completely widened. RW's single core EZ's damage output was not enough to win the battle!
Liu Qingsong's Luo went to find Asura as soon as the team battle began, purely to annoy him.
Asura would either be controlled and killed by YM's attacks, or be chased away by Luo.
However, as soon as he left the battlefield, RW lacked damage output!
"It's still too early for the team battle. RW Lulu and Karma haven't made Crucible yet. They can't protect Izreal!"
Asura gritted his teeth and began to attack. He originally thought that he could survive longer under the dual shields of Lulu and Karma.
When Lucian cut in from the side and slid forward with Flash, Asura knew that he was still too young when the two passive shots landed on him.
Penetrating Holy Light pierced through all of Lulu's shields. Once again, Luo used Grand Entrance to lift up EZ. The next moment, Kesha used Plasma to activate her ultimate skill and appear behind Asura!
Akashic Rainstorm's damage output combined with Lin Yan's high damage output to send Izreal away once again!
Kesha's powerful entrance ability was fully utilized by Shiba Inu!
"RW can't withstand the opponent's powerful damage output. Everyone, try to escape and save your lives!"
Xiao Tian stared at Lulu, who was 07, and ran all the way. He touched his eyes and kicked Lulu away. Then, he used Heaven's Sound Wave and used Echo Strike to kill Doinb!
Lulu's purple wizard hat swayed in the air and slowly floated down.
"Wuhu!"
Phyllostachys Pubescens shouted with a sense of accomplishment after beating his opponent into a Super Ghost.
"YM has taken in the Dragon. Steady operation in all three lanes. This match is about to end!"
RW, who had been defeated in two consecutive team battles, knew that their advantage was gone. Their defense was relaxed and they had no intention of resisting. They allowed YM to flatten their base in 24 minutes!
"YM is ahead. They're leading 1: 0 into the next game!" Ze Yuan said calmly. "Let's see how RW adjusts in the next game …"
Rita took over the conversation. "I think RW shouldn't use a hero like Lulu, who can't drive the early game and doesn't have enough damage output in the late game … Xiao Tian targeted him too much in this game."
"That's right." Ze Yuan agreed with Rita. "Mongoose guarded Doinb closely in the last game. He didn't give Doinb any room to play …"
Doinb, who had just returned to the backstage lounge with a paper cup, was also faced with Hanyi's choice.
"Pick a hero that can drive the early game." He frowned. "Lulu is too passive."
The Faerie Witch Lulu was very versatile. Her skills included slowing, increasing speed, shielding, increasing health points, polymorphing, and so on.
However, the problem was obvious. If he chose a mid laner, he would only be beaten up by a hero like Lucian. Moreover, he would have no lane advantage. As soon as he was pushed into the tower, Xiao Tian would come after him. He would be sent back to the fountain in a few punches and kicks.
"Xiao Fu, pay more attention to the mid lane in the next game." Hanyi took advantage of the short break to emphasize the strategy. "Our next key is still the mid lane. Don't let Lin Yan get too many resources or roam around to support."
"Even if you live in the mid lane, you have to watch him closely." Hanyi squatted down and looked directly into Xiao Fu's eyes. "It doesn't matter if you lose the jungle. As long as you can restrict the opposing mid laner, it'll be a great achievement. Do you understand?"
Flawless nodded blankly.
He was still in shock. In the last game, Lin Yan and Xiao Tian had played a terrifying game in the bushes with the blue buff. It had dealt a heavy blow to his young heart.
"How about this, we'll be on the blue side for the next round, so we'll take first …" Han Yi gathered the team members together and used a black pen to draw on the notebook, looking for the best solution for the next round of the competition.
The break between the games was fleeting. When the two teams went on stage again, the atmosphere was completely different. The five YM players, along with their coach and translator, looked quite relaxed.
Traditionally, the first game of a best-of-five was to test the opponent's strength and bottom line. YM had a card up their sleeves.
They knew that from the early game to the mid-game, RW's corresponding abilities were inferior to theirs.
RW usually focused on four players and one player, so the two teams' styles clashed to a certain extent.
In this case, victory depended more on the player's individual strength. Many times, small details could determine the direction of the game.
YM's individual strength was definitely not bad. The weakest of them was a first-tier LPL player. When they worked together, they were even more terrifying.
RW's players' expressions were much more serious.
Before the semifinals began, they had joked with each other that they could take an early break and go home to find their mothers.
But after being crushed by YM, their hearts were filled with confusion and uneasiness.
Facing the top team, they were chasing after the top team. RW's players thought that they had been reborn and would improve by leaps and bounds.
But YM's slap had returned them to their original state.
"Player Mouse, you can start the BP segment." The referee's voice was crisp and powerful from behind the player's seat.
Ah Guang cracked his knuckles and adjusted his mentality to welcome the second game!
