"They can win like that?"
He remembered that he didn't expect the game to end in such a dramatic way, but he didn't forget to explain to the audience in an excited tone. "YM used Cheyenne's teleportation to complete a wonderful sneak attack!"
"I have to say, this is a very wonderful team decision!"
He praised. "YM was at an extreme disadvantage in the head-on team battle, but they used their tacit cooperation and excellent tactical literacy to win the game!"
Ouze looked at the bright red words on the screen, and his eyes lost focus.
This scarlet seemed to be reflected on his face, and the limited edition Ouze appeared again.
He came back to his senses and clenched the mouse in anger.
RNG didn't understand how they lost in the head-on team battle. When he synthesized Seraph later, he could ride on YM's face and attack at will.
They released Tam, and although Liu Qingsong protected many people in the early and middle stages, repeatedly destroying their offensive rhythm.
However, the benefits of the team battle were also quite obvious.
First of all, Tam could only protect one person in the team battle. In the 10-minute vanguard team battle in the canyon, RNG used multiple crowd control to make YM suffer a big loss. After protecting Policewoman, there was no way to protect Ryze.
Secondly, the threat of Liu Qingsong getting a hero like Tam was far less than using heroes like Law and Bull's Head.
At the same time, YM gave Mongoose Olaf in order to make up for their strength in the jungle.
This led to the fact that in YM's entire team battle formation, only Lin Yan and Cheyenne had the means to start the team, but it was very awkward to use the skill [Reckless Charge].
He drove his car into it, and the two damage output positions of his teammates were Policewoman and Ryze. It was difficult for their short legs to keep up with Cheyenne's damage.
In general, YM's lineup's ability to start the game was quite poor. They couldn't threaten RNG's backline and could only play the backhand most of the time.
This was like a fish in water for Ouze. Not forcing it meant that his Azriel would not be in any danger. Moreover, with the black shield provided by Shi Senming and Morgana, he could easily fill up the damage output.
Magic Cutter + Seraph + Three Phases Strength. This set of equipment was not low even against Cheyenne.
At that time, Liu Qingsong Tam's protective ability would be a joke in front of Azrael.
RNG had obtained a formation that was almost unbeatable in the mid to late game, but who would have thought that YM would not fight with them!
Not only had they revealed their trump card, EZ, but they had also lost the crucial game. What were they going to do next?
Ouze exhaled through his nostrils. The heat was unbearable, and his blood pressure was rising. Even his fists were hard.
He didn't care about the rules at all. What kind of hero was he if he stole someone's house?
If you have the ability, then fight us head-on!
[I'm going to die of laughter from YM. No matter the lineup, they're just tearing down Crystal.]
[As everyone knows, this is a tower pushing game. It's useless no matter how many people you have.]
[Isn't this just a solo carry?
In the early stages of the game, you're going to raise a top laner, and you're not going to fight team battles, so you're going to split up?]
[Their playstyle is a bit like LCK. My DNA is stirring!]
[Classic plot. Korea's top lane is a one-man army. They won't fight you head-on at all, and they'll drag you to your death in a one-man army … there's an image now.]
"YM now has two match points in their hands. They're only one step away from lifting the Silver Dragon Cup again!"
Lin Yan, who had just taken off his headphones, heard the commentator's inspiring words, but there was not much excitement on his face.
Lin Yan's mind was filled with that Moccasin + Blazing Angel Azreal.
He could guess that this was RNG's trump card for the entire playoffs. RNG, who had been going smoothly all the way until the finals, didn't have to use this trump card in the first few rounds. If YM hadn't cracked Kesha + Vampire's formation, they might have even hidden this move in MSI.
As he left the stage, Lin Yan could faintly hear the YM fans in the front row discussing smugly.
"RNG's 10% discount water bottle?
Don't tell me it's still not dark after the finals?
Oh, oh, oh, oh … "
"Sigh, YM's matches are so boring. Why do they always win?
I want them to lose at least one game. "
Lin Yan saw that Su Cheng was still chatting with the family members beside her. He pushed open the exit door and walked backstage.
"RNG has taken the priority to choose the blue side in the next round. Our problem is how to deal with this EZ …" As usual, Red Rice stood at the entrance of the backstage tunnel. When she saw the players come to her side, she immediately began to arrange her troops.
"I think I can use it."
When Jack heard Red Rice's plan to put EZ in the ban position, he quickly raised his hand to show that he had no problem with it.
After Red Rice heard Jiang Chenglu's translation, she looked at Jack with a puzzled gaze.
The message was very clear — can I still trust you?
Jack's ears turned red. "That EZ in the first round was just a tactical problem. How am I supposed to carry when I've been left alone?"
Although RNG had pulled out a pair of Azreal, it looked quite scary and its power was quite impressive.
However, YM was already leading 2: 0. They had three match points in their hands. The team's atmosphere was harmonious and filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
After all, there had never been such a comical situation on the LPL stage where two players were chasing three players.
Was it normal for two players to chase three players?
Would RNG be able to win all three of these small games?
It was very blue.
However, Red Rice did not let her guard down. Even when she rushed back to the lounge, she was still thinking about whether to give Jack EZ.
Red Rice was not only considering the player's proficiency in the hero. After all, it didn't seem like a big deal to dual train EZ. Wasn't it just changing Ice Fist to Three Phases Strength and changing the original third weapon, Blade of the Ruined King, to Archangel's Staff? Wasn't it just a matter of having hands?
In reality, there were far more problems to worry about. As the equipment changed, Azreal's role in the team would also change accordingly.
Originally, Magic Ice Fist EZ was the team's tool. Because the damage he dealt to the front row was not high, he usually played the role of the auxiliary core, the second core of the team.
However, when Red Rice saw RNG's resource allocation in the middle of the game, she had a feeling that Azreal would be the absolute core of the team.
However, Red Rice could not be sure at the moment because no matter what hero Ouze chose, he would eat up resources like this …
The change in Azreal's role in the team would affect the team's lineup choice, the allocation of resources, and other factors. It was not as simple as changing the equipment.
Normally, the coaching team would need at least one night to coordinate and arrange tactics. However, Red Rice could not bear to see Jack's hopeful and confident eyes …
"Ban it," Gou Ba said calmly. "Everyone, don't let your guard down."
His fingers trembled slightly with excitement. As an analyst, Gou Ba's desire to win was very strong.
He wanted to prove his value in front of RNG's management. Victory in this final was of great significance to him.
Red Rice thought for a moment and agreed with his analyst. "Then let's ban EZ. We don't need to take the risk."
Jack grabbed his level three helmet. Although he was very unhappy, he could not find any reason to refute.
…
Summoner's Canyon darkened instantly. All the sunlight was snatched away. The Nightmare had arrived!
The next moment, a sheep's cry rang through the canyon!
"Letme's second big move sent YM's three players flying. Ouze's Sunset is going to end the battle!" Doll's excitement was beyond words.
On the big screen on the stage of the Big Rubik's Cube Performing Arts Center, Ni Yu Xia used sharp feathers and barbs to harvest the lives of YM's generals!
When the system's cold female voice appeared again, YM had already ushered in a team wipe!
Mille couldn't help but sigh. "RNG's hand is really good at turning off the lights and letting the sheep loose!"
"The tactics they revealed in today's final are far more than what everyone imagined!"
Spicy Saucepan controlled Eternal Nightmare and pushed into YM's Crystal with his teammates. His 227 record was enough to prove his performance in this game.
Jungler Eternal Nightmare + top laner Aoun. RNG used Imperial's signature sheep to create a perfect system. As long as they reached level 6, the entire Summoner's Canyon would be within their team's range.
Moreover, Heart targeted Jin Gong outside the blue square. He sent Ryze, Qing Gang Ying, and other heroes into the ban position, not giving the Siberian a chance to finish the game with a solo carry.
Phyllostachys Pubescens wanted to forcefully help the top laner in the early stages of the game. However, he didn't manage it well at level 1 and level 2. Although Jin Gong pushed the minions under the tower, his own health was quite average.
In the end, he didn't manage to kill Letme. Instead, he gave away two lives. The early stages of the game directly collapsed.
On the other hand, Ouze maintained his usual suppressive power in the bottom lane. Even if Heart wanted to ensure that Aoun's big move wasn't taken away and let Xiao Ming steal Boulogne first, his Sunset was still able to suppress YM's duo in the bottom lane.
Lin Yan could still lead the game in the early stages. However, at level 6, he was ambushed by Nightmare's Lights Off and Aoun's big move. He couldn't see where the sheep came from at all. He only appeared when the lava elemental was in front of him. Then, he was hit by Nightmare with a face full of fear.
After a full set of skills, he didn't have any room to maneuver until he died.
In the middle of the game, the situation became even more serious. As soon as Spicy Saucepan's Nightmare's lights off, the initiative in the game would shift to RNG's hands.
Whether they started the team or retreated, it was all up to RNG.
From the moment they made the mistake of jumping the tower in the top lane, YM fell into a huge disadvantage. Although they managed to find the opportunity to counterattack twice when Saucepan was out of position, Nightmare worked with Aoun to kill Jack again in the crucial team battle of the Dragon. At the same time, they also crippled Lin Yan.
With both Cs losing their ability to fight, YM could only give up on Baron Nash.
However, this was just a slow death. In the end, they held on for 35 minutes until the Ancient Dragon was born.
At this time, the economic gap between the two sides had widened to 12,000. Even if Lin Yan and Jack were to maximize their damage output in the last wave, they couldn't make up for such a huge equipment disadvantage. In the end, they could only swallow the defeat.
"RNG didn't give up!"
Remember said in an emotional voice. He was moved by himself. "They barely made it through the match point, but if they want to win in the end, they still need to make it through two more games!"
When the RNG fans saw their home team win, they also slightly eased their nervous and desperate mood. While the players took off their headphones and left the player area, they hurriedly waved the support banners and light sticks in their hands to cheer for the players they supported!
Lin Yan sat in the lounge and looked at the TV screen. The MVP of the last game, Spicy Saucepan, looked murderous in its makeup.
Red Rice paced back and forth. Ten minutes ago, he had already been thinking about the BP of the next game. In various ways, the ban position would be quite tense.
Apart from the dual player Azreal, RNG also had to target the lights off and sheep herding system that they brought out in the last game, and there was also the Charlo combination that needed to be broken up.
Even if YM was on the blue side in the next game, the BP wouldn't be easy to do.
Red Rice glanced at his team members and found that Lin Yan and the others didn't show any major emotional fluctuations. Only then did he feel relieved.
He was afraid that his team members would panic at this time.
"This is just a small matter." Jack seemed to see what Red Rice was worried about. His tone was carefree. "I've seen a lot of storms and waves. Losing a small game doesn't affect me at all."
"That's good. Let's play like this in the next game …" Red Rice continued to use a marker to draw a diagram on the whiteboard of Summoner's Canyon.
"I'll try to make room for you to play." He looked at Lin Yan. "End the battle in the early and middle stages."
"Okay." Lin Yan agreed without hesitation.
"Let's go, let's go. Don't think about the last game anymore."
At this time, LKS came to inform them to get ready to go on stage. Guo Hao walked them along the corridor and sent them backstage. "Take down RNG early. I'll book a table at the restaurant and wait for you guys."
When Lin Yan stepped onto the stage of the Magic's Cube Performing Arts Center again, the audience in the stands on all sides raised the volume again. All kinds of screams and the sound of support objects colliding and pulling were mixed together.
On the other hand, RNG's players walked in from the other side of the stadium with determined eyes. Spicy Saucepan, who had just won the MVP of the last game, looked very excited. Even Ouze's Guan Gonghua, who looked very depressed in the last game, was gradually fading away.
Lin Yan sat in the player's seat again and arranged the position of the mouse pad. Then, he placed the paper cup filled with iced red tea between the keyboard and the monitor.
The five of them didn't have time to chat. The referee behind them let Jin Gong start the game. Red Rice took a deep breath, put on his soundproof headphones, and opened the notebook in his hand.
"2018 LPL Spring Finals, YM versus RNG, the fourth game of the competition begins now!"
The three commentators took advantage of the break to adjust their state of mind. When they saw the BP screen appear, they immediately focused on the screen.
"Blue YM's first ban position is given to Succubus!"
Doll was not surprised by this choice. "Saucepan's performance in the last game was quite outstanding. He drove the rhythm of the entire RNG and contributed greatly to the team's victory. He is indeed worthy of a ban position!"
"On the other side, RNG still blocked Ryze," Heart analyzed. "Ever since Jin Gong carried Ryze all the way in the second game, RNG bought a ban position for this hero, just like Qing Gang Yin."
Heart knew that YM had found RNG's current weakness — Let me. Once Jin Gong used a strong hero that could carry him all the way in the mid to late game, the entire team would become very passive.
If the top laner was carried, it would be useless even if Ouze was a true god. He was an ADC and couldn't defend against Jin Gong alone. YM didn't team up with RNG. They just needed to create space for the Saucepan to carry alone.
The key point was that after Red Rice came to YM, he had also made adjustments to the team's ability to pull. Even though YM couldn't compare to a three-star team like S7, they had no problem dealing with a team like RNG, who had zero solo abilities.
"Next, YM blocked Dusk, who also played well in the last game," Mille praised. "This is really not stubborn. As long as you play well, I'll ban them all."
Heart continued, "If the hero is hot, let him sit in the ban position for a game to cool down. This way, we might be able to cut off the opponent's hand."
As a Lightning Wolf analyst, he was familiar with this kind of trick. He had also learned a few levels of skill from what he saw and heard.
RNG blocked Qing Gang Yin as usual.
"For the last ban position in the first round, YM chose to give it to Azreal, and RNG banned Captain!"
Mille hissed. "Rock Sparrow, who had been banned by RNG before, was released, but YM doesn't plan to snatch it first!"
Red Rice made a prompt decision and gave Xiao Tian the King of Troll, a T1 jungler in the current version. In his opinion, Rock Sparrow was not worthy of being picked.
"Policewoman + Morgana, RNG chose to pull out a duo," Heart said. "This way, the suppression of the bottom lane is quite strong!"
Policewoman and Morgana were undoubtedly T1 in terms of lane strength.
They were not the same as the Shadow Island combination and Draven Hammer Stone. The latter's strength was mainly reflected in a set of high damage and unparalleled ability to start first and fight, while Policewoman and Morgana stood out as torture.
Relying on the range advantage of gutter oil and Policewoman, they could make the opponent want to die. If they wanted to fight, they had Morgana's Black Shield to be immune to control.
What was even more disgusting was that once they were hit by Morgana's lottery Q [Dark Imprisonment], Policewoman's combination of clip and E [90 Diameter Rope Net] could also kill the brittle.
"Let's take Bull's Head and Verus," Red Rice made up for the duo's control. At the same time, Verus would not suffer too much in the face of Policewoman. "Remember to be steady. You can only go when your teammates come. Otherwise, just release them."
Jack and Liu Qingsong nodded to show that they understood.
"RNG's last choice for the first round is still Aun." Even Doll could guess what Emperor would play. "Letme's main task is to stabilize the lane and provide enough control in the team battle. He did well in the first round."
In the second round, RNG chose to ban the two strong heroes, Raven and Jess, while Red Rice blocked Zooey and Piggirl.
"RNG will probably leave the counter position for Xiao Hu. The fourth choice is probably going to be the jungler …" She remembered that she was not very optimistic about RNG's jungler choice. "There are almost no junglers outside who can fight Troll!"
Currently, the mainstream junglers in the game, Olaf and Zach, were toys in the face of Troll. They were chased by him in the jungle and sucked in the team battle.
Saucepan put his elbows on the table and pointed at his monitor. He even turned around to talk to his teammates and coach.
Doll saw this scene and was full of anticipation. "It seems that RNG still has tricks up their sleeves. What kind of surprise will they bring us?"
I Walk with Death!
Graves, whose cigar had been shaved off by River Crab, appeared in front of everyone!
"Nanqiang!" Doll's surprised voice echoed in every corner of the Big Rubik's Cube Performing Arts Center.
"Saucepan is going to eat meat!" Remember said in an exaggerated tone. "This Nanqiang reminds me of S6!"
Back in the day, Spicy Saucepan was still a jungler. His Panther Girl Nanqiang had frightened many opponents. He even helped Fuzhou True Dragon prove the worth of S6.
Now, he had once again taken out his signature hero and was ready to fight to his heart's content with YM!
[From jungler to jungler and back to jungler, it's a kind of sturdy ring!]
[My Saucepan, my Saucepan …]
[Once the jungler is removed, Casa will soon take his place. Cherish his few matches.]
Red Rice did not expect RNG to take out a jungler like Nanqiang. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses.
He pondered for two seconds and ordered his team members to continue taking the characters they had agreed on before the game.
"YM got Vampire and …" Mille paused. "Rambo!"
"This hero hasn't been seen in a while," Remember analyzed. "Brother Ran and Doinb liked to use it in our division. However, there are too many substitutes in the past few versions, causing the selection rate to drop a lot."
Heart patted the customer's shoulder. "What do you think we should use to fight Rambo?"
He was sure that Lin Yan would not use Vampire in this game.
"Thain. I'll fill in the lane control and control."
Mi De Tiger had initially wanted to use Icebird. This hero only needed Rambo's skills to hit the mid laner. However, after glancing at the lineup, he realized that he had a character who could accompany the gunner in the early game to invade the jungle.
After thinking about it, Thain was indeed a safer choice. It would not lose to Rambo in lane control and would be able to force a team in the mid and late game.
The lineups of both sides were confirmed.
Blue YM: Top Laner Vampire, Jungler Troll, Mid Laner Rambo, Bottom Laner Verus + Bull's Head Chieftain.
Red RNG: Top Laner Aoun, Jungler Nanqiang, Mid Laner Thain, Bottom Laner Policewoman + Morgana.
After a short loading period, accompanied by the deafening cheers of the live audience, Summoner's Canyon appeared again!
