Doll in the commentator's seat couldn't hide the shock in her heart. She was still shouting, while the TOP player and the coach were still nervously communicating.
"Is it really Sparrow jungler?" XX's tone was low, obviously a little depressed.
He had thought that he would be able to get off to a good start by beating a weak team in the LPL, and then become one of the hottest junglers in the league. Who would have thought that because of Zhuo Ding, TOP would have a relationship with YM, and the opening match would be a tough battle?
Bear Bear already felt that they had no chance of winning, and now YM wanted to play a new trick?
Bobby paced behind the player. From the sudden acceleration of his footsteps, it was easy to tell that he was anxious.
In version 8.11 of the competition server, Sparrow had received an epic nerf. Her core damage skill, Q [Stone Piercing], could no longer deal AOE damage.
This was a devastating blow to mid units.
The ability that Talia was originally proud of was cut to the main artery.
When God closes this door, he will definitely open a window for you.
The designer was the same. He increased Talia's base movement speed, passive [Floating Stone Rush]'s movement speed effect, and disengaged state calculation. He also reduced the cooldown of QW's two small skills.
Bobby felt that it was because of these changes that Red Rice let Rock Sparrow go to the jungle.
"What hero should I pick?" The big white bear Zoom, who looked quite festive, pulled his attention back to the game.
"… Ryze or Crow, which one do you think is better?" Bobby pondered for two seconds before giving his opinion.
Zoom clicked his tongue.
There was no AP in the team now, and his Jayce was very mediocre. He could only give Second Battalion Commander Piltworf to Knight. He wanted to make up for his spell damage.
Vampire couldn't even beat Karma in the mid unit, let alone the top laner who had a longer lane. Zoom had no doubt that if he dared to pick Vladimir, he would be pulled to death by Jin Gong's movement speed advantage and Psychic Chain.
Moreover, Vampire's ability to clear troops in the early game was worrying. If Karma pushed the lane under the tower, it would be wasted, and the thief's Omen of Theft would continue to widen the economic gap.
Ryze and Crow were left, but neither of these heroes could beat Karma …
Zoom's eyes suddenly lit up. "How's Kainan?"
It could only be said that Bobby was still too young. His understanding of the top lane AP hero pool was still in the Spring Season, but he had neglected the traditional Mage Top laner, Electric Rat.
"Choose, choose, choose. Peng Peng, give it to him!" He said urgently.
There were only three seconds left on the countdown. Bobby was afraid that his support would not be able to find a hero, so he quickly turned around and reported to the referee, "Kenan, we want to choose Kenan!"
This way, if the countdown to the selection ended, the restarting of the competition would maintain the original BP.
Before the referee's black pen could land on the board, ppgod tapped on Kenan's head at the last second and quickly locked onto him.
"Kainan?!"
Doll was also quite surprised. "Ever since the S7 World Championship, I haven't seen him much. Even TOP is bringing out new things!"
Mille looked at the red team's lineup. "TOP's Kainan has good teamwork. He and Princes enter the field together, and it's very effective against YM Xia and Lu Xian's double archers!"
"Indeed, and Xia and Lu Xian are archers with very short hands. If they want to deal damage, they have to withstand TOP's big moves!" Doll also realized this point.
The ten players each exchanged heroes. Lin Yan changed Rune to Assault, made sure that his summoner skills were not wrong, and then waited for the game to load.
The lineups of both sides were fully displayed on the big screen.
The blue team YM: Top Laner Karma, Jungler Rock Sparrow, Mid Laner Lucian, Bottom Laner Lu Xia + Bull's Head Sheik.
The red team TOP: Top Laner Kainan, Jungler Princes, Mid Laner Jess, Bottom Laner Verus + Boulogne.
The bullet screen was noisy, and they were still struggling with the lineup.
[Is Rock Sparrow really going to jungler?
Is it okay?]
[You should ask KZ about this first. Qing Gang Yin can kick them from Paris to Seoul.]
[Rock Sparrow is not Qing Gang Yin. Aren't you trying to change the concept?]
[Nonsense. With Brother Ran and Lucian backing them up, as long as Knight is suppressed, I don't understand who TOP can rely on to win.]
The announcement of the Summoner's Canyon's arrival echoed in the enclosed stadium!
"Come on, YM!!"
A fan leader shouted with the rest of the audience, and then the sound wave set off could only be described as terrifying!
Su Cheng, who was sitting in the front row, was shocked by the sound coming from behind. The headband with Lin Yan's ID on it shook.
After three neat and loud cheers, the sporadic TOP supporters in the stadium also cheered for the home team they supported. But after all, there were not many of them, and they were weak in front of YM fans.
"Brother Ran's rune configuration is very standard in this game. It's the set of Lucian runes that we usually see the most. The main line's offensive and secondary line's [Witchcraft]'s Mana Flow and Absolute Focus, and the summoner's skill is teleportation." Doll then turned his gaze to Jess on the other side. "Knight's here, Roam …"
"The main line's phase is rushing, with the Resolute secondary line's Chrysalis and Skeletal Plating, this is too son …" He quickly swallowed the last syllable into his stomach and changed his words. "Too stable!"
Mille was still analyzing. "In this way, Jess's calmness is indeed guaranteed, but the problem is that without the Enlightenment biscuits, will he be a little short of mana?"
"… I think it's okay." Doll pondered for two seconds. "After all, the Witchcraft talent now has the Mana Flow. With a full stack of 250 mana and continuous regeneration, he should be able to cope."
When the Goddess's Tear was originally sold for 750 gold coins, Jess's desire to buy the Devil's Path was not strong, let alone after the price was raised by 100 dollars.
Jess was not EZ, and he was at his strongest in the early and mid stages. If he wasted extra money to buy the Devil's Path, the effect would not be good. Currently, the mainstream equipment was still the Dark Dream's Armor Breaker.
This also meant that Knight, who did not have the biscuit talent, could only rely on the Mana Flow to barely support the consumption of his skills.
Mille did not dwell on this problem, but focused his attention on the Summoner's Canyon again. "TOP is relying on their strong support Boulogne, a first-tier team, to directly invade YM's jungle. Are they going to chase Mongoose to the bottom half of the jungle to open up the jungle?"
"YM seems to be aware of TOP's intentions. All three of them are crouching in the bushes of their own blue buff camp!" Doll was shocked. "How did they know?"
The live audience saw Lin Yan, Mongoose, and Jin Gong huddling in place, while the five TOP players huddled together across the river and into YM's jungle. Suppressed whispers rang out one after another, lingering in the stadium!
"Boulogne is in the lead with Scan, Princes is following closely behind, planting eyes in the bushes!"
At this point, the distance between the two sides was very close. The moment PPGOD's accessory eyes fell, Jin Gong and Karma's Q, Soul Flame, which was buffed by Sanskrit Incantation, was also thrown out!
A golden lotus formed a ring of fire under the feet of the TOP players, and it was ready to rise and explode at any time!
Lin Yan raised his Holy Lance to attack first, and then the S6 Champion's Skin's black and red special effects penetrated the bodies of Boulogne, Princes, and Verus.
"Lucian's Holy Light penetrated the bodies of the three players, causing huge AoE damage!"
In the commentator's seat, Doll's voice was sonorous and powerful. "PPGOD controls Boulogne to throw out a Q, Winter's Bite!"
Mongoose's Stone Piercing also swung out, hitting Boulogne one after another!
The Guardian Rune had been triggered, but PPGOD's health bar was still shrinking!
"Lucian's two passive attacks have triggered a strong attack, Boulogne doesn't have much health left!"
Under the Vulnerable status, Stone Piercing was fatal, and Verus was forced to use Heal from behind.
"Don't chase after them!"
Zoom saw that his teammates still wanted to go up to Jin Gong to get Boulogne's passive out, and hurriedly dissuaded them. "Just force them away, there might be others behind them!"
His playstyle was the same as the Hero he was good at — steady.
He didn't want to shine, but he didn't want to embarrass himself.
Hearing this, the TOP players stopped chasing.
Bull's Head, Chieftain, and Dusk's positions were still not in sight. If Liu Qingsong flashed out of a corner and sent a few people flying, Lin Yan's Lu Xian would have to deal damage without any pressure.
Boulogne's health was already low, and their original goal was to force the opponent to retreat and occupy the top half of the map anyway.
"PPGOD returns to the city to replenish his health, but if he returns in 1 minute and 15 seconds, he probably won't be able to reach the bottom lane as soon as they exit." Mille stared at the minimap. "Jack and Liu Qingsong are very smart. They've been hiding near the second tower, and when they saw that TOP didn't intend to pursue further, they immediately went to the opposite jungle!"
Liu Qingsong knew that the opponent's main forces were in the top half of the map, so he immediately calmed down and controlled Alista to charge straight into the bottom half of the map.
He didn't choose to place the accessory's eye between the opponent's blue buff and the Magical Swamp Frog's camp. Instead, he placed it in the grass that was separated from TOP's middle tower by a wall.
The eye's position was very close to the edge, and he could clearly see the narrow path that connected TOP's mid lane and the bottom half of the map.
The director didn't know what this meant, but his years of OB experience told him that this was obviously not a conventional eye's position, so he quickly cut over and gave a close-up.
However, Doll and Mille in the commentator's seat were still discussing how YM's jungler had been waiting at the blue buff's camp in advance, and didn't pay attention to the eye's position that Liu Qingsong had placed.
"Did YM play against TOP in a mock match before?" Mille couldn't figure it out. "They've obviously guessed their opponent's intentions."
Doll frowned. Although his understanding of the game was average, he was still experienced and had commentated many matches, so he could also see that something was wrong. "That's right, a normal defensive position would be in the grass by the river, but YM retreated to such a position …"
Something was wrong.
However, they couldn't figure out what went wrong, so they could only watch the match.
"Zoom helped Xiong Xiong open the jungle, and he fought a few times before leaving …" Doll sighed. "The rookie jungler is an imperial opening, so much better than Mongoose!"
Phyllostachys Pubescens, who was farming red buffs in the bottom half of his own map, looked very lonely.
"Isn't he helping Rock Sparrow?" Mille was confused. "Mongoose's health isn't very healthy!"
Rock Sparrow's level one jungler was quite injured, mainly because his body was too fragile and he had no way of healing. Xiaowu had already pushed his jungler skills to the limit, but he still lost half of his health.
[I'm really laughing, how can Rock Sparrow be a jungler with such efficiency?]
[He doesn't have any way of healing, he's purely relying on pulling junglers to maintain his health, right?]
[Qing Gang Yin didn't heal either, but he can catch people at level two, what can Rock Sparrow do?]
[Yes.]
【？？？】
The comments flew by quickly, and many people were not optimistic about YM's Rock Sparrow jungler. This was not the same as Camille, and Qing Gang Yin's ability to gank was top-notch.
How could Rock Sparrow catch people?
He couldn't farm until he was level six, right?
After farming the red buff, Xiao Tian rose to level two, and his health bar increased by one bar. At the same time, the red buff healed him by 1% of his maximum health every five seconds. Although it was not much, it was better than nothing.
"What is Princes doing?" Doll suddenly lowered his voice and asked nervously.
With the help of Zoom, Princes's passive [Rhythm of War] and E [Debar Army Flag] buff, the speed of farming the blue buff was quite fast, and he reached level two seven seconds earlier than Xiao Tian.
Bear carried the army flag and crossed the river into his own Beak Bird camp, then went along the middle of the first and second towers to the bottom of the jungle, and then rushed to the river.
"After going around in a big circle, Bear is trying to get the river crab!"
Mille finally guessed what he wanted to do, and immediately sighed, "This Princes is so greedy, he wants to start with two river crab. It can only be said that the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger!"
At this time, the caster locked onto the camera and stared at Princes. Doll finally found the eye position that Liu Qingsong had placed in the grass below the middle tower of TOP. This eye accessory could see Bear's movements clearly!
"Oh my god," Mille gasped, "after YM saw Princes' movements, they planned to beat him at his own game and set up a trap for him!"
The YM fans below the stage did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that any sound would be heard by the players on stage.
Xiong Xiong was still oblivious to this. He had no idea that he was in YM's field of vision.
Why would a normal support set up an eye here?
The normal eye position was set up near the blue zone, and Bear had deliberately avoided the area where the level 1 support usually set up an eye position. He thought that no one would notice. Later, when Rock Sparrow was eating the river crab, he planned to surprise Phyllostachys Pubescens with a second EQ combo.
"Brother Ran in the middle lane has risen to level 2. Knight Jess is slightly suppressed by Lu Xian at level 1. He should be two more EXP away …" The caster predicted the battle that was about to break out, and quickly changed the camera to show the audience the level of the people in the bottom half of the jungle.
"The junglers are all level 2, but the four people in the bottom lane haven't learned their second skill!"
The two team's level 2 upgrade point was the first three melee soldiers of the second wave of minions, and because the bottom lane was longer, the minions handover time was 10 seconds slower than the middle lane.
The second wave of minions handover at 2 minutes 07 seconds, so it was naturally impossible for the two team to reach level 2 two minutes after the River Crab spawned.
"In this way, YM's fighting power in the bottom lane is very weak!"
Doll came to a conclusion without thinking. How could Dusk and Bull's Head at level 1 compete with Verus and Boulogne at level 2?
Mille glanced at the position of the bottom lane's minions. "But the good news is that Jack and Liu Qingsong have the right to push the bottom lane. This should be because ppgod was injured and returned to the city, which wasted some time. Plus, YM's duo didn't help Mongoose to clear the jungle …"
As he spoke, he suddenly realized that all the suspicious points from before had been connected together!
Why didn't Jack and Liu Qingsong help to clear the jungle?
It was to get to the bottom lane in advance to snatch the right to lane.
If they helped to clear the jungle, their online time would be about the same as ppgod's Boulogne, and the advantage that their team had built for them in the early game would have been completely wasted.
Going online early, Jack and Liu Qingsong wanted to let their duo, who were at a disadvantage in the early game, snatch the right to push and then radiate into the River Crab team battle!
Mille was shocked when he thought of this.
"Mongoose has started fighting River Crab. Stone Piercing Rock has been handed over, but Rock Spike has been in his hands!"
Seeing that Talia had used her Q skill, and River Crab's health had been reduced to less than half, Bear decisively made his move.
The opening battle of the LPL against YM was the perfect opportunity for him to make a name for himself!
If he could trample the champion jungler under his feet, that feeling …
The Dearborn army flag was planted under Rock Sparrow's feet, and Giant Dragon Strike was thrust towards Talia!
Bear's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a cold smile.
He was very confident in his EQ.
Since River Crab would not hurt people, professional junglers would basically use normal attacks to finish it off after using their skills. When they felt that they were not in danger, they would often switch their screens to observe the other lanes.
This was the time when the opponent was most likely to let down their guard.
As long as he could pick it up, coupled with the damage from Electrocution and passive [Rhythm of War], Brittle-Skinned Rock Sparrow would instantly fall to critical health.
When the time came, he would trigger the armor-piercing effect of [Fierce Impact] and would be able to crush Talia at will.
He was determined to win!
"Bear doesn't know that Mongoose is watching his every move!" Doll shouted anxiously.
When Phyllostachys Pubescens was farming River Crab, his finger was pressed on Blink, and his vigilance was at full alert.
Therefore, when Demacia Princes rushed out from the bushes, he immediately used Blink, and with a golden flash, he dodged the fatal EQ!
In the next instant, he raised his hand and shot a normal attack, accompanied by thunder from the sky, and the River Crab that Princes had knocked into the air was taken into his bag!
410 retribution damage plus a normal attack, the 450 health River Crab was dealt with clearly!
Bear did not even have time to react!
In just a moment, Rock Sparrow used Blink to dodge his skill, and then easily took away River Crab. Everything was so natural, as if everything was within the opponent's expectations!
Bear, who had just been promoted to the top league, was stunned.
What was going on?
Was the world champion this ruthless?
This reaction could be praised on TikTok for a year!
He was shocked. Prince, who was operating the mech, even paused for a moment. He was at a loss for what to do.
"Fight fight fight, don't retreat, I'm coming!" Zhuo Ding said vaguely.
Although he had been suppressed by Lin Yan for a while, he had also successfully reached level 2, and was on his way.
Bear gritted his teeth.
Just do it and be done with it!
"Both bottom lane duo teams are rushing towards River Crab. Is YM really going to pick them up?"
Doll saw that Xiao Tian had no intention of leaving, and was still standing there facing off against Princes. He quickly said, "Top lane Boulogne and Verus are very good at fighting!"
"But the bad news is that the top lane duo team will reach the battlefield one step later than YM's bottom lane!" Mille could not immediately determine which side had the advantage.
YM's mid lane, Lu Xian, had the advantage over Princes. She was obviously not a match for Rock Sparrow, not to mention the bottom lane.
But because of their outstanding ability to control the minions, YM's mid and bottom lane were both pushing.
One side was weaker, but had the ability to reach the battlefield first; the other side was stronger, but had no way to provide support immediately.
Who would win?
Lin Yan was the first to arrive. Lu Xian tapped E, Q, tap, tap the floor to cancel back shake. Her combo was extremely smooth!
"Rock Sparrow W [Rock Spike] placed at Princes's feet, successfully tricking out Bear's Flash!"
Zhuo Ding also ran over, hiding in the grass between the middle lane and River Crab. His QE Cannon shot out, and the electromagnetic cannon flew towards Rock Sparrow!
"Brother Ran moved diagonally, using the acceleration effect of River Crab's corpse altar to help block this shot!" Mille saw the other side of the battlefield and could not help but blurt out, "What is Liu Qingsong doing?"
Liu Qingsong stood at the pass leading to the River Crab from TOP's blue buff camp, firmly occupying this key position!
Verus and Boulogne, who were pushed, had to take a detour from the grass behind the bottom tower to the River Crab. They also had to pass through this pass!
In other words, TOP's duo was stuck here by Liu Qingsong alone!
"Jack has joined the River Crab battle. If TOP's duo doesn't come over, then it will be 2 against 3. They can't win no matter what!"
Ppgod smashed Q [Cold Winter's Bite], hitting Bull's Head's sturdy body.
But Alista's feet were rooted, and he was stunned and did not move!
Brave bull, not afraid of difficulties!
It even took out a clock from an inexplicable place and started to strike it!
The sound of the bell reverberated through the stadium through the live sound system, making people feel extremely irritated.
But YM's hardcore fans did not care. Bull's Head's back was now incomparably tall and majestic in their eyes!
"TOP's bottom lane wants to bypass Bull's Head, but Liu Qingsong won't let them go at all!"
The ground shattered!
Bull's Head smashed the ground with a punch, sending Verus and Boulogne flying, stalling them for a second!
"Jack cast a healing spell on Xiao Chou and helped him increase his HP by another notch!"
Phyllostachys Pubescens, who had already given up Flash, was undoubtedly YM's current priority target.
Liu Qingsong's obstruction allowed Jack to deal two more normal attacks, tipping the scales of victory in YM's favor!
"Lu Xian's position is a bit off, isn't it?!" Mille noticed Lin Yan's positioning. "How did he get on Princes's face?"
Lin Yan fired while drilling into TOP's face. He was blatantly selling his body. He was just short of saying, "Come and play with me!".
Phyllostachys Pubescens used Jack's healing and the River Crab Altar's acceleration to successfully pull away, allowing him to escape danger.
TOP's players looked over. It didn't matter who they were fighting.
Lucian was also squishy, so it wouldn't take much effort to kill him.
"Jess has switched to Hammer form and jumped up to focus fire on Lu Xian with Princes!"
Ppgod was also itching to go up and activate his passive [Shock Slam], but the old fox Lin Yan knew what he was thinking when he raised his leg.
Using the River Crab Altar's movement speed bonus, Lin Yan moved to the side.
Boulogne realized that his goal was too obvious. He hurriedly took a step away from Lucian, stacking his normal attacks on Liu Qingsong's passive, stunning him on the spot.
Lin Yan saw this and took a step closer to Boulogne.
Ppgod thought this was a good opportunity. He hurriedly turned around to close the distance and activate his Flash passive.
But just as he turned around, Lin Yan turned around and pulled away again!
Grass (a type of plant)!
Ppgod felt like he was going to have a brain hemorrhage.
Who would be able to stand being pulled by someone like this?
"Lu Xian and Boulogne are doing a two-person spin. ppgod wasted a lot of time and didn't activate his passive on the other enemies!"
The reason why Boulogne was so strong was because of his passive [Shock Slam].
He didn't have to pay much to be able to provide stable damage and crowd control.
But ppgod was blocked by Liu Qingsong just now, and now he was being pulled by Lin Yan. He had only activated his passive on Bull's Head since the start of the team battle, and the others weren't affected at all!
Boulogne's power didn't even show at all!
"Knight is still dealing damage!
He's using Phase Rush to increase his speed and chased after Brother Ran and kept hammering! "
Lin Yan was really good at selling his health, but Zhuo Ding's burst damage wasn't particularly high because he had Corruption Potion with him.
Lin Yan only had 30% of his health left. He flashed over the wall and headed for the triangular grass at the bottom lane.
Zhuo Ding hesitated for a moment, but he didn't chase after him.
He didn't have enough burst damage. Flashing over the wall was just asking for trouble.
"Brother Ran absorbed a lot of damage and started channeling to return to the city. Xiao Tian waited for Q's [Stonebreak] to activate again. Stonebreak is going to take Princes' life!"
Xiong Xiong, who didn't flash, could only pin his survival hopes on his teammates.
Ppgod helped him block [Stonebreak].
But this only extended his life for a while.
"Jack flashed forward and killed Princes with a normal attack!"
Shiba Inu was having a great time in this team battle.
He always dared to deal damage. As long as his teammates could give him some space, Jack could ride on the opponent's face and attack.
In this team battle, Lin Yan obviously took on this task and helped to attract a lot of damage and top's attention.
Shiba Inu was responsible for dealing damage from the side.
"Top's handling of this encounter is obviously different from YM's. They have to retreat!"
Old Dream was easy to leave. He didn't even go past the pass guarded by Liu Qingsong. He just had to retreat to the bottom of the tower.
But what about the midlaner and support?
"Jess and Boulogne are a bit too deep!"
Doll shouted, "They're surrounded by YM's three bottom laners. They have to retreat!"
Zhuo Ding and ppgod had to split up. Boulogne went back to the bottom lane and Jess went back to the middle lane, hoping to distract YM's pursuers.
"Boulogne, use [Flash Over the Wall]. Jess, switch forms and run!"
But River Crab's Altar increased speed and Rock Sparrow's Red Scorch reduced Zhuo Ding's HP. He was chased by Sunset and his HP kept dropping.
A golden light flashed and he had to use [Flash Over] to open up the distance!
But just when he thought that he had escaped, a whirlpool of light suddenly lit up in the bushes that were only a wall away from his Central Pagoda!
"Teleport," Mille was excited, "Brother Ran's teleport!"
"After returning to the city to resupply, he rushed back to the battlefield!"
Xiong Xiong finally realized that YM was watching from the bushes!
No wonder Little Tian reacted so quickly at that time. So it turned out that he was prepared long ago!
But now that he knew, what could he do?
Zhuo Ding was disheartened.
Without [Flash Over], he had lost all room to maneuver.
Amidst the cheers from the audience that resounded through the dome, Lin Ran landed on the ground and successfully took Jayz's head!
Two and a half minutes into the match, the score was 3: 0!
"This is the charm of River Crab's modification!" Mille shouted, "The bloody level of the professional scene has been raised by several levels!"
