Lin Yan stood up with the YM players and shook hands with the WE team.
The five players on the other side were calm. They were veterans who had been through hundreds of battles. A loss in a BO3 match was nothing to them.
The summer tournament was quite long, and the playoffs were the most important. Only a BO5 match could test a team's true strength.
Mille looked at the output panel. Lin Yan's Fishman was once again a pillar. With a perfect KDA and a solo kill, the game officials once again awarded him the MVP award.
"The MVP of this match is once again YM's mid laner Ran!" Mille said. The big screen in the center of the stadium once again showed Lin Yan's final pose.
This time he changed his posture. His hands were in his pockets, and his expression was cold. His excellent physique made him look like a male model in the loose YM uniform.
"Ran Bao is so handsome. Mommy loves him!" The bullet screen flooded.
"Get out of here, male mommy!"
"I don't want to be a male mommy. Does Ran Bao lack a boyfriend? You can add me."
"The fencing team is here. Run!"
Lin Yan was about to walk off the stage when the staff stopped him and asked him to stay for an interview.
The female host in a long dress stepped on the stage in high heels and handed the microphone to Lin Yan.
He looked at the audience holding up their support cards and his heart was filled with emotion.
"My first question would like to ask the Ran player. Why did they choose Rambo to go in the mid lane in the first game?"
The female host tilted her head and looked at Lin Yan. She was tall among the girls, but she was still half a head shorter than Lin Yan in high heels.
Looking at Lin Yan's fair and handsome appearance at such a close distance, her cheeks were a little red.
It wasn't that she was infatuated with a handsome guy she didn't know. It was just that she admired the outstanding opposite sex.
"I just think it's suitable for this lineup. It's hard for the opponent to threaten me, and Rambo isn't weaker than Victor." Lin Yan answered honestly.
"In these two matches, you've obtained a total of six solo kills. Do you have anything to say about this?" The female host threw out the next question with a smile.
It was another awkward and stupid question. Lin Yan gripped the microphone tightly.
At first, he was still wondering where the six solo kills came from. After thinking about it carefully, he must have included Rambo's last four kills in the first game.
Then how was he supposed to reply? Was he supposed to say that WE was too rash and chose to walk in a straight line?
Wasn't this offending someone?
There was no way he could stop a cart full of WE fans.
"It's because my teammates are too strong. They've invested a lot of resources in the middle lane in the early stages, allowing me to develop in peace. In the later stages, I'll take over the game. Just like Rambo's game, he'll be the jungler and let me farm the wild monsters."
"I've always felt that the MVP of that game should be awarded to our jungler Xiao Tian. Without him, my Rambo wouldn't have been able to deal any damage. It was his selfless dedication that resulted in that quadruple kill."
Lin Yan made things up. The female host didn't understand the game anyway, so he just made things up. What did Rambo's quadruple kill have to do with me? It's all Xiao Tian's credit. If WE fans want to find the culprit, they should look for the little bastard.
When he returned to the lounge after the interview, Chubby Toot and the others had already packed their bags. Because today's two BO3 matches were clean and tidy, when Lin Ran left the venue and boarded the bus, the night had not yet completely enveloped the bustling city.
The five players hadn't eaten all day. To celebrate their first victory, Chubby took them out for a good meal.
When they returned to the base, they had to prepare for their next match. This Sunday, they would be facing RNG.
They didn't know what the organizers were thinking, arranging two high-intensity matches a week for them. RNG was very strong, and with Ouze's addition, their strength on paper had reached the ceiling of LPL.
If WE was a strong competitor for the tickets to S6 this year, then RNG was half a step into the S Tournament.
No one doubted the strength of the Spring Season champions. The only thing stopping them from winning was the team's internal coordination.
Ning didn't play ranked games the entire night. Like the new team analyst, he studied RNG's matches.
Recently, he had learned a meditation tactic from the Korean champion, ADbang. It didn't matter if they didn't play ranked games, as long as they performed well in the competition. After all, ranked games and competitions were two different games.
How could they maintain their strength if they didn't play ranked games?
Study the recordings.
If they could understand the opponent's habits, it would be very helpful for the competition.
Lin Yan didn't rush for points either. He was also studying the recordings. However, he wasn't studying RNG's, but their new ADC, Ouze.
A day and a half of preparation time passed in the blink of an eye. Team YM once again set off for the competition venue.
In yesterday's match, the other new LPL team, IM, had also cleanly defeated their opponent. For a time, the amount of discussion about the two LSPL teams on the internet increased dramatically.
Some people called them the new Snake and QG of the new era. Some people thought that their first victory was only because the strong LPL teams didn't specifically study strategies to counter them. When it came to the best-of-five matches, teams without strong foundations would eventually be eliminated.
When they went on stage today, RNG's fans were clearly much stronger than WE's. Their cheers were earth-shattering. Lin Yan could faintly hear the noisy cheers outside even with his soundproof headphones.
"That's scary." Xiao Tian had never seen such a scene before. His square face was pale. "RNG has so many fans?"
It was understandable. Winning the Spring Season championship and going to MSI was already very popular. With the addition of China's top ADC, Ouze, RNG's current number of fans was terrifying.
"Don't worry about what's going on outside the field. Focus on the match," Coach Hanyi reminded them.
"Should we ban three ADC? Our bottom lane is so hard to play," Xiao Ming said with a smile. "Ouze + Mata. My GG, how are we going to play lane?"
"In your dreams. I plan to ban three midlaners this round to counter Xiao Hu." Hanyi flipped through the notebook. "Lin Yan, can you do it?"
"No problem." Lin Yan had just suppressed Xi Ye in the last match. He was very confident in his lane ability.
The two commentators today were Remember and Long-hair, who had come from Team WW to develop in China. The two of them spoke with a slight Team WW accent.
"Today's match is a battle between two Spring Season champions," Remember said with a smile. "However, one is the LPL champion, and the other is the LSPL champion."
"That's right, but RNG's strength on paper has improved again," Long-hair said calmly. "Ouze's arrival has further improved their lane ability. Their individual strength in all three lanes and the jungle is very scary."
"The BP has started. Let's see how this weekend's battle of the spotlight will go!" Remember raised his voice. "RNG chose the blue side, and YM chose the red side!"
"RNG banned Lisandro, Bard, and Big Tree, while YM banned Vampire, Tsar, and Little Temptress."
"RNG's ban position is very normal, but YM is targeting Xiao Hu. All three ban positions are given to midlaners," Long-hair said with a smile. "It looks like they're more afraid of Xiao Hu's solo kill of Faker in MSI."
