"In two waves of Dragon's team battles, YM has successfully turned the tables!"
Remember said. "A very resilient team. Even though they were at a disadvantage in the early stages, they still relied on their excellent strategy in the Dragon's zone to win the game."
"I personally think that the main reason is that Ouze's RNG hasn't been adjusted well since he came. He's still very good at laning in the early and mid stages, but when it comes to team battles, his lack of command and team coordination is exposed..." Long-hair added.
Both teams walked back to their respective lounges with their heads down. The two sides brushed past each other, and Lin Yan saw that Ouze's fat face was a little anxious.
"Let's switch lanes in the next round. Their laning ability is too strong. We don't need to take the risk," Hanyi said to his own bottom lane.
Ning was a little unhappy when he heard this. He messed up his hair, and his tall body suddenly fell onto the sofa. "I also don't understand why Xiao Tian didn't come to the bottom lane at level 4. If you came to squat, we would definitely win in a 3v3."
"I couldn't go at that time. Brother Ran was holding the line in the middle lane. He had no vision in the top half of the jungle, so I definitely had to protect him."
Xiao Tian also felt very wronged. It's not like you don't have a minimap or a team voice chat. You knew that I would protect your bottom lane, yet you still held the line in the bottom lane. Did you really not see the opposing jungler as a human?
Jin Gong and Xiao Ming both sat at the side with their heads down and didn't say a word. If others saw this, they would think that YM had lost the first game.
"Okay, it's fine. It was my fault in the last game. We said that we could grab the bottom lane, but we chose a spring that wasn't easy to roam." Lin Yan saw that his teammates didn't say anything and quickly stood up to smooth things over. "How about we try to tilt our BP towards the bottom lane in the next game?
I'll also choose a hero that can roam and provide support to help you guys. "
Hanyi sighed. He looked at Lin Yan's gaze and nodded helplessly.
He really didn't want to place too many resources on the bottom lane. After leading this group of players for half a year, Hanyi knew their skill level like the back of his hand.
In his opinion, it was the best choice to let Xiao Tian and Lin Yan use the strong combination of the middle and the outfield to break through. They just needed to muddle along for the first ten minutes of the top and bottom lanes. Once the middle and outfield gained the advantage, they could then snowball to the top and bottom lanes. This method was the easiest to win the game.
In the current version, other than the two heroes, Callista and Lucian, who could eat resources in the early game, the rest of the ADCs had to wait for the three-piece set before they could fight.
ADCs were the core damage dealers in the later stages of their growth curve. Although it was possible to invest resources into them in the early stages, the impact of an ADC in the early and middle stages would be much worse than that of a mid-laner.
YM's team was not good at strategy and pulling in the late game. Up until now, the other four teammates had all been at a disadvantage.
Only Lin Yan, even if his teammates were at a disadvantage, could make up for his own development. In the later stages of the team battle, YM had relied on Lin Yan's outstanding performance to turn the tables several times.
It could be said that Lin Yan was the absolute core of YM. The BP resources should be tilted towards him.
Lin Yan knew what Hanyi was thinking. How could he not know Ning's performance?
Although he spoke frankly, it did not mean that Lin Yan had low EQ. He knew very well what to say and what to swallow. He did not scold the audience during the live broadcast, and he could not scold Ning now in the game.
If there was anything, he could solve it when he got back. He had to win the game first.
As for tilting the BP towards the bottom lane, even if Ning did not speak, Lin Yan would have suggested it.
As a coach, Hanyi would not play in the game. Lin Yan and Xiao Hu had developed for 20 minutes in the last game. They had a preliminary understanding of the opponent's mentality.
The lane was a muddle. Unless Lin Yan was exhausted first, Xiao Hu would never take the initiative to come up for a blood swap. His equipment was also a stable path — Mercury Shoes and Abyss Scepter were examples of this.
It was not that defensive equipment was not good. Lin Yan himself liked Mercury Shoes and Abyss Scepter. The margin for error was much higher.
But you had to look at the lineup for your equipment, right?
Lin Yan's equipment was basically for single-carry and crowd-control heroes like cards. He had always played assassins and late game core heroes that were all damage dealers.
Lucian and Qian Jue were so tanky in the last game. YM's top support would definitely prioritize armor. Xiao Hu's Victor had already made damage equipment. YM could not withstand Victor's laser sweeps at all, let alone defend the high ground.
In the last team battle, Xiao Hu's equipment was neither fish nor fowl. Lin Yan was too lazy to care about him. Anyway, he could not one-shot himself. He would take care of Ouze first. Let's see if Victor dared to continue his laser scrape.
Xiao Hu's playstyle was not like this a month ago in MSI. Lin Yan did not know why there was such a huge change.
Ning did not say anything after listening to Lin Yan. He took the paper cup from Manager Hao and quietly listened to Hanyi's strategy.
There was no doubt that the MVP of the first game was given to Lin Yan. His three MVP performances led him to lead the LPL Summer Season MVP list.
"The BP of the second game has started. YM still chose the red side, and RNG chose the blue side. RNG chose Ice Maiden, Big Tree, and Clockwork, who performed well in the last game, to ban. YM chose to ban Bard, Callista, and Ryze."
"Then there are not many options left for RNG to pick the bottom lane," Remember analyzed. "Does Puppy want to continue picking Lucian?"
"I'm leaning towards not picking," Long-hair said thoughtfully. "If you want to pick Lucian, then you won't be able to pick Hammer Stone and Qian Jue."
"With Puppy's ability to lane, even if he can't pick Lucian, he might not necessarily lose."
As he expected, RNG chose Qian Jue to ensure the strength of the jungle. In the last game, Qian Jue's effect had been achieved. There was nothing wrong with continuing his hot hand in this game.
YM backhanded Lucian Hammer Stone. After sending Callista to the ban position, the duo of Lucian and Hammer Stone was invincible.
RNG picked Ike and Karma the Apocalypse. Due to the changes in the version, Karma's mid laner was also quite popular. YM could not infer Karma's lane.
"Xiao Tian, do you want Nanqiang?" Hanyi asked.
"No," Xiao Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I can't play with this kind of jungler."
It was not that he did not know how to play, it was mainly because the team's style was not compatible. Like Lin Yan, Xiao Tian should pick a hero that could control and catch people in the early game. This would make it easier for YM to play in the early game.
Although Nanqiang was good at solo fights in the jungle, its gank ability was too weak. Without a red buff, it was basically a one-timer.
"Then pick Blindman. Qian Jue has room to play in the team battle."
Hanyi did not insist. When doing BP, he always liked to ask for the opinions of the players. Sometimes, it was not necessary to pick a strong hero. You had to consider the feelings of the players on the field.
After that, Jin Gong took down Murloc. YM was now addicted to this kind of swinging hero. This version was very suitable for them. This was also why YM always picked the red side. The last pick would often have an unexpected effect, making the other team's coaches confused.
RNG's last two choices hesitated for a long time before they locked onto Policewoman and Tsar, the two late-stage big cores before the countdown.
"Little Temptress, Little Temptress!"
Lin Yan looked at the other team's lineup and his eyes lit up. Other than Ike W and Tsar R, there was no one else who could control. He could not be happier playing an assassin.
At this point, the two teams' lineups were confirmed.
Blue RNG: Ike, Qian Jue, Tsar, Policewoman, Karma.
Red YM: Murloc, Blind Monk, Little Temptress, Lucian, Hammer Stone.
It was a typical late game lineup.
"Hmm … As long as RNG can drag it out for 30 minutes, I think it's unlikely that they will lose the team battle. The damage output of both teams in the late game is not on the same level," Long-hair said after some hesitation.
"And the team battle lineup is very solid. Don't look at RNG's lack of teamwork. Their Qian Jue, Karma, and Tsar are quite good at counterattacking."
"Let's see how much of an advantage YM can have in the early game. It's more important for them to control the little Dragon early. If they can get two Earth Dragons, they still have a chance to end the game by stealing the dragon."
