Waves after waves of deafening cheers were set off in the stadium. The heated atmosphere had been completely ignited, and the expressions of the audience were extremely excited!
The battles in Summoner's Canyon were like barrels of gunpowder stacked one after another in the stadium. The final shot would ignite them all!
"… In the end, YM won the first round." Seeing IG's base explode, Mille finally reacted and let out a long sigh of relief. His heart, which had been hanging high due to the frequent battles in the stadium, finally calmed down. "Both sides exploded with 50 kills in 36 minutes. They were fighting almost every second!"
Doll seemed to want to continue, but he remembered his role as a commentator. He immediately said seriously, "I can only say … YM is very good at large-scale battles, and the lineup they choose is very easy to perform well in team battles."
"That's right." Mille nodded in agreement. "YM's lineup and playstyle are completely different from last week's encounter with BLG. They can even be said to be two extremes."
"When facing BLG, YM's overall style was more stable. Their operations were delayed until the later stages of the game." He explained, "But when facing IG, they became boorish. They fought from the beginning to the end. As long as there was a chance to fight, YM would never back down!"
Playing with BLG in the late stages and fighting with IG in the early stages, YM had displayed two different playstyles in the two consecutive 'best-of-three' matches.
Many viewers suspected that YM's five players were more or less schizophrenic.
A week ago, they could hold back from fighting for half an hour. Now, they could not fight for even a minute. It was as if there were ants crawling on their bodies.
Was this a river?
At this time, the caster's camera shifted to IG's player area. Mille timely started another topic. "There was a slight contradiction in IG's lineup and playstyle today."
"My original expectation was to rely on Sindra and Zhao Xin's strong combination of midlaner and jungler to hold up the sky for Vampire and Chiwil. This way, they would have enough damage support in the team battle. Together with Luo and Zhao Xin's opening moves, they would have a good effect."
Doll interrupted. "But I didn't expect that IG didn't want to develop in this round. They fought from the beginning to the end. In a sense, they restricted the heroes on their two sides!"
The Sh's Vampire was still alright. His combat ability was average, and he could still escape after breaking into the backline. YM also rarely took the initiative to look for Vladimir in the team battle. When he and King Ning were in the backline, they could make up for their lack of development by taking two kills.
Old Thief Sima was not so lucky. Not to mention that Chiwil's body was fragile, she didn't even have any displacement skills. In front of Qing Gang Yin and Galio, she was just a moving 300 yuan.
"Yes," Mille said with a smile, "YM's system of doing whatever they want is not afraid of you and me in a team battle, not to mention the existence of Boulogne and Qing Gang Yin. Mongoose even took the big red potion in the last wave of the team. He really thinks of himself as the absolute core of the team."
Doll joked on the side. "It turns out that Camille is the real ADCarry. Big Mouth is really not good. He can't keep up with the rhythm of his teammates at all!"
In the team battle, Mongoose's equipment looked too scary. After he entered the first wave, he circled around to the side. When the opponent wasn't paying attention, he jumped back with the wall. The true damage from the A and A was ridiculously high. The IG team couldn't bear it at all.
Unlike the previous solo Qing Gang Yin, Camille, who was in the jungle, had an extra warrior's jungling knife.
It didn't seem to be a big deal, but there was an extra 10% cooldown reduction.
Combined with the power of three phases, it was a 30% cooldown.
One had to know that Qing Gang Yin's E [Hook Rope]'s maximum level cooldown was 10 seconds. Including this 30% cooldown, it only needed 7 seconds to turn.
It could be said that Qing Gang Yin, who was equipped, was a first-class existence among warriors in terms of flexibility and damage creation.
At this time, the output panel after the game also appeared in front of everyone.
The audience below the stage burst into ear-piercing laughter, and the bullet screen also found a new hot topic of discussion.
[What did I see?
Big Mouth 19436, Chiwil 17570. In a 36-minute game, the average damage is about 500. It's really a drag.]
[Sparrow, Jack and Old Thief originally had an average damage output of 650 +, right? This match has pulled down the numbers quite a bit.]
[Let's be honest, Big Mouth only relied on his passive to blow up a few thousand damage.]
[Jack's total game is 3911, Old Thief Sima 1715. If I just look at the KDA, I would think that it was done by the support.]
[I see that in every team battle, the ADC is the first to fall. Two old unlucky guys.]
[The current situation of the ADC!
Just like Brother Ran said, who would play the ADC in this version of the game? Isn't the mage better?]
[Forget it. Broiler, the early game started with 20 people, and in the end, it was 4 kills and 7 deaths. Do you think mages are useful?]
Lin Yan strode into the backstage lounge.
"Give me a new paper cup!"
Guo Hao was about to greet him with a smile, but he didn't expect Lin Yan to say such a thing.
"What do you mean?" He was very confused.
Mongoose said darkly, "He drinks water every time he wins a team battle. In the end, the team battle today was too frequent. He kept holding the paper cup and crushed it."
"Luckily, the base of the paper cup is quite sturdy. Otherwise, the water inside would have spilled out. I'm afraid that there would be a live broadcast accident."
"Bok bok bok bok!" Jack laughed.
Guo Hao took a closer look. Indeed, the cup in Lin Yan's hand was already deformed.
"This water can't even fit in the cup. I really need to change it …" He quickly went to get a disposable paper cup.
"Where did I throw the original paper cup?" Lin Yan looked around but couldn't find the trash can in the lounge.
Bai Jiahao, who happened to be eating egg tarts, raised his hand and said in a muffled voice, "It's with me!"
Lin Yan walked over to take a look and found that the black trash bag was tightly hidden by Bai Jiahao's legs. No wonder he didn't notice it before.
"This trash bag is quite good at hiding!"
He threw the cup in and then said to Bai Jiahao, who had been recruited to the second team this summer. "Don't you eat every day? Why do you eat egg tarts every time you come?"
"This stuff is delicious." Bai Jiahao raised his head and looked at Lin Yan with innocent eyes. "Before I became a professional player, my dream was to eat egg tarts every day."
"… That's a very simple dream." Lin Yan said this and went to find the other teammates.
A group of players and coaches gathered together. On the surface, it looked like they were having a meeting.
"What are we eating after the game tonight?" Lin Weixiang was very concerned about food.
Jack thought for a long time but couldn't think of a particularly satisfactory restaurant.
It was mainly because he was allergic to seafood. This narrowed down the list of restaurants he could go to.
"How about a bungalow?"
Hot pot was the most versatile food. Whether it was in the country or abroad, one could find a sense of identity in the boiling hot pot.
"No," Lin Yan objected. "It's a scam. How much did the Hongbin Restaurant cost when we went to RNG's home court?
You can eat until you're full from three to four hundred yuan per person. What can you eat in a bungalow? "
"… That's true." Jack thought of the three words "Hongbin Restaurant" and his mind was full of soft and delicious oxtail.
Three to four hundred yuan in a bungalow could pay for the bottom of a pot. If they just ordered a few pieces of meat, the menu would start at four figures. The group of boys couldn't stop eating there.
YM didn't lack money, but no one's money came from nowhere. Thinking about it carefully, compared to other restaurants, the bungalow was indeed less cost-effective.
If they won the summer tournament, it would be acceptable to celebrate.
"How about we go to Haidilao!" Jin Gong suggested. He liked the tomato pot there.
Guo Hao said, "I know a Turkish restaurant called Pasha that tastes pretty good. It's near Huaihai Middle Road, on the way back to the base."
“pasha？”
Jack's ears perked up when he heard the familiar name. "Isn't that the place that plays CSGO?"
"… That's not important. It's just a name." Guo Hao was speechless.
"Okay," Liu Qingsong said. "If we win 2: 0 today, we'll go to Haidilao. If it's 2: 1, we'll go to the Turkish restaurant."
"What if we lose?" Lin Weixiang asked suddenly.
"We won't lose. How can we lose?" Young Master Tear was very confident.
Big Eyebrows didn't give up. "If, I mean if …"
"You still want to go out and eat if we lose?" Mongoose was surprised. "Isn't there an appetizer here? We can each take two spicy burgers back and eat."
…
"Ning Wang's Zhao Xin E into the crowd. His Star Moon Guard swept YM's formation away. The Sh's Sword Magician rushed in!"
Yatokus, with his wings spread, waved his heavy sword and slashed at the enemy camp.
On the other hand, Bao Lan's Shen used a big move to boost The Sh's HP so that he wouldn't die immediately.
"Rookie's Galio has taken off!"
The Colossus of Justice rose into the air. Hard Bear appeared and lit up with green flames, instantly engulfing the YM players!
Old Thief Sima's Sindra QRE used Heavenly Flower Scattering to provide team control for his teammates.
Mongoose's Qing Gang Yin killed Old Thief Sima single-handedly. Lin Yan's Clockwork Devil also used a shockwave to sweep up the three IG generals. However, Zhao Xin and Sword Magician cleared out the entire backline of YM!
The dogs at the scene let out deafening cheers, cheering for the home team they supported!
"Facts have proven that if you want to play a battle royale, don't choose Clockwork." Mille stood on the commentary platform and said loudly, "Orianna can't keep up with the pace of the battle royale at all. This hero has no level or equipment. His combat power is too weak!"
From the spectator's perspective, it could be seen very clearly that the match had gone on for 28 minutes. The kill ratio between the two sides was 17: 24. YM was behind by seven kills.
On the data panel, Clockwork's last hit was 301. Their battle loss ratio was 249. Although they were first in the game in last hits, their economy wasn't in the lead.
The main reason was that the battle between the two teams was too intense in the early stages. There were a lot of kills, and the basic skills of professional players in dealing with minions were there. Even if they fought frequently, the last hit wouldn't fall too far behind.
The gold coins provided by the minions and the number of kills caused IG's economy to expand rapidly, far exceeding the development timeline of a regular competition.
Even if Lin Yan added a bunch of minions, it was still useless. Sword Magician with a thick white shield, Zhao Xin, and Galio, the pressure provided by IG's top, middle, and wild players was suffocating.
Without any displacement skills, even if Clockwork used all his skills, he couldn't withstand the opponent's sudden attack.
The time finally stopped at 28 minutes and 22 seconds.
IG relied on the chaotic battle style of the battle royale to win a round!
"F * ck." Jin Gong, who had taken off his earphones, said perfectly, "Brother Ran, you deliberately manipulated the game. You don't want to eat Haidibao, right?"
As he spoke, he grabbed the back of Lin Yan's neck and tried to shake him left and right.
The audience and the commentator knew that the problem was with Clockwork, and so did the Xiba players.
The problem was that Clockwork was chosen by Lin Yan himself.
"What does it have to do with me …" Lin Yan still tried to quibble. "Look at how the opponent is targeting me."
"In the first round, they banned Swordsister Enchantress. In the second round, they banned Olaf Zoe. They took out four of my heroes and still had to snatch Galio first. Tell me, what else could I have chosen?"
At this point, Lin Ran spread his arms like a little bear.
IG was no different from a five-ban mid laner. In Lin Yan's opinion, it was simply crazy.
Broiler's individual strength wasn't weak. Why were they targeting him?
"But there was no need to choose Clockwork." Mongoose was also very unhappy. "Couldn't they have picked Ryze? He won't lose to Galio in lane battles. At least he has a crowd-control in the early stages of the team battle. It's much more useful than Clockwork!"
He gritted his teeth as he talked about Clockwork.
In the early stages of the game, Lin Yan had rushed to the battlefield in time. However, Clockwork was useless in the early stages.
Unless Lin Yan cheated and changed the hero's value, Clockwork wasn't as useful as Galio in the early stages.
Not only was there no crowd-control, but there was also no damage.
Several times, Ning Wang's Zhao Xin only had a little bit of health left. He relied on the acceleration effect of Phase Charge to escape.
If Clockwork's damage was just a little bit higher, the situation would be very different.
"It's okay." Lin Yan patted the shoulders of his teammates. "We lost a small round. Let's start with a big Turkish dinner tonight!"
"Hurry up and do your best." Jack rubbed his stomach. "I don't want to go back to the base and eat spicy burgers."
"Leave it to me!" Lin Yan patted his chest.
Ten minutes later, the players from both teams sat in the player seats again.
The audience applauded thunderously!
In the two rounds of the game, there were nearly 100 kills.
The audience was really satisfied. The visual effects could only be described as explosive.
Doll and Mille were still chatting on the stage.
"In today's best-of-three, I feel like Galio's priority has increased a lot," Doll started the conversation.
Mille immediately followed. "It's like this … we can see from these two rounds that Galio's dominating power in the early stages of the game is incredible."
"His control is maxed out, and his body isn't as weak as the average mage. After the changes, his two rings can have decent damage output in the early stages."
He spoke with assurance. "And if the team doesn't lack a frontline, he can even bring Skimmer to improve his support roaming ability. Coupled with his teleportation and big moves, Galio can definitely rush to the frontline in the early stages of the game."
Mille wanted to continue, but he received a notification from the caster. The BP panel had already appeared in front of the audience!
"YM used their priority pick to get the blue side. They'll ban Zhao Xin first!"
In the second round, Ning Wang's Chrysanthemum Shin was still at full speed in the early stages, causing a lot of trouble for YM.
Red Rice had been tricked in the first round, and in the second round, they decided to let the players try to solve it with their individual ability.
In the end, they found that they couldn't do it. They weren't stubborn, so they simply bought Zhao Xin a house in the ban position.
"IG, on the other hand, put Draven on the ban position …"
YM chose Troll for the second ban.
It was the same old thinking. Troll was the only one who could counter Swein. Now that he was banned, Jin Jingzhu naturally wouldn't release Crow.
"The last ban of the first round, as expected, is still Yasso!"
Jin Jingzhu saw YM's ban position and thought for a moment. "Let's ban Galio."
Unlike the previous round, IG was on the red side. Relatively speaking, the first round of the BP was in a passive position, and there weren't enough ban positions. It would be difficult for them to ban four mid laners like in the second round.
At the same time, he was very clear about Galio's importance and didn't want to put the Colossus of Justice in YM's hands.
He might as well ban it to save himself the trouble.
"You'll probably have to take the version mage with him this round," Jin Jingzhu reminded Broiler. "Be careful."
"No problem!" Broiler rubbed his palms together.
He wanted to suppress Lin Yan in the first round, but unfortunately failed. In the second round, he chose Galio to wander around and didn't focus on the lane.
The third round of the game was about to begin, and it was his last chance in the regular season.
Song Yijin had to make good use of it.
"YM's first choice, got Qing Gang Ying!"
Doll said loudly. "Mongoose has played Camille for two rounds in this best-of-three, and now he's hot!"
"IG took out Sindra and Shen, and the ball girl still has to swing mid and bottom!"
Red Rice stood behind YM's player bench and communicated with his team members.
"Burning Pot, what are you going to use?" Red Rice wanted to give Lin Yan a hero in the first round, leaving the position for Jack's Kesha.
"Let me think …" Lin Yan's brain was working quickly.
Since IG didn't target him on the BP, there were still many strong mid laners left.
Lin Yan thought carefully and made up his mind.
"I'll use Enchantress!"
"Okay." Lefran was the current T1 mid laner, and Red Rice had no objections.
"YM took down Kesha and Enchantress. Let's see the last hero of IG's first round …"
A muscular bearded man appeared in IG's hero selection box!
"Olaf!" Mille analyzed. "This should be a jungler, and there's a small chance that Broiler will take him mid."
"The probability is too low," Doll added. "After all, Olaf can't take advantage of the agile Enchantress. Other than being able to clear the lane in the early game, he has no other advantage."
Red Rice thought so too. He didn't target Ning Wang's jungler in the second round, but instead banned Sword Magician and Jayce to limit The Sh's room to play.
Jin Jingzhu aimed at Liu Qingsong and blocked Hammer Stone and Bull's Head.
"IG's fourth choice … Zooey!"
The appearance of the Twilight Starspirit made the audience very excited.
The mid laner Enchantress against Zooey, this was undoubtedly a bloody battle!
Moreover, the two mid laners had great agility and explosive damage, and their upper limits were extremely high.
Compared to Galio, who was chosen in the previous two rounds, the Colossus of Justice had a more stable style, leaning towards defense and counterattack in lane. Lefran and Zooey were evenly matched.
The audience could faintly smell the smell of blood in the air.
"YM took out the combination of Luo and Captain to add some chips for the team battle!"
Since IG had already chosen Zooey and Sindra, the two mage heroes.
Jiang Chenglu was destined to supplement the AD damage in the top lane.
With Jayce banned, there was almost no top lane AD hero that could counter Captain.
As long as Jin Gong smoothly transitioned to the mid laner, Captain's combat power would be enough to destroy the team battle.
Red Rice's abacus was very good.
However, Jin Jingzhu didn't let him have his way.
An unexpected character appeared in Sapphire's selection screen!
He had tanned skin and held two guns in his hands. His eyes were filled with a bone-deep hatred for revenge.
"Lu Xian!" Mille almost broke his voice. "This is top laner Lu Xian, The Hy is about to start!"
Jiang Chenglu smiled like a child under the camera, as if he had found true happiness.
"F * ck … you're really good!" Jack sighed. "As expected of you, The Hy. You've lived up to our expectations and are starting to perform!"
"Huh?!" Jin Gong was dumbfounded.
He really didn't expect this move from Lu Xian.
"Don't worry, play normally. Don't be nervous." Lin Yan comforted Brother Siba. "Try not to die. You can do it."
While the players were still communicating, the bullet screen was already exploding with activity.
[Lu Xian can still play solo in this version?
Didn't the bullet clearing efficiency of the big move get reduced?]
[That's because she can't play mid lane. After all, mid laners take lane rights, but top laners can't stand it. Anyway, long laners fight short laners. Without big moves, she can still be trampled.]
[Oh my god, I only remember the story of Huni cutting wood with two guns. Can top laner Lu Xian do it?]
[Watch carefully. After all, long laners are basically Captain's father. No matter what, there shouldn't be a problem.]
"Lu Xian plays Captain, so it's not difficult to get buckets." Doll frowned. "This game is really a test for Brother Gongzi!"
"Let's wait and see. Let's see what kind of performance The Shy can produce with his top laner Lucian …"
The lineups of both sides were finalized.
Blue YM: top laner Captain, jungler Qing Gang Yin, mid laner Enchantress, bottom laner Kesha + Law.
Red IG: top laner Lu Xian, jungler Olaf, mid laner Zooey, bottom laner Sindra + Shen.
The loading bar finished, and Summoner's Canyon appeared!
