Lin Yan didn't change his summoner skill. He still used Blink, while Xiao Hu's Tsar used Blink's Weaken.
Weaken was a good skill to counter Little Temptress, Blind Monk, Murlocs, and also to deal with Lucian, who had short arms. It could increase his survivability.
Both sides didn't change lanes. Rather, Lucian was determined to prove himself.
When he reached the top lane, Tsar hid behind the minions and summoned Sand Soldiers to finish him off. Lin Yan only finished him off. Due to the AoE damage of the Sand Soldiers, the minions couldn't help but push towards Lin Yan.
"Are you ready?" Lin Yan asked.
"Come, come, come!" Xiao Tian finished using the Red Buff and rushed towards the middle lane. It had only been 1 minute and 55 seconds.
The hero in the middle lane would level up to level 2 on the seventh minions. It would take around 2 minutes and 13 seconds to level up, provided that your minions were in the middle of the lane. Whether the minions moved forward or backward would affect the speed of leveling up.
Tsar only had W at level 1. If he tried to grab, he had to dodge. Xiao Tian didn't go straight through the river. Instead, he stuck close to the F4 wall and rushed towards the middle lane.
He knew that MLXG level 1 had set up a vision on the river grass in the upper half of the map.
Lin Ran attacked the ranged soldier that was close to the Tsar's body and brought him down to critical health. Then, W stepped on the ranged soldier to finish him off and dealt damage to Little Tiger.
Just as Little Tiger was about to raise his sand soldiers to fight back, a Heaven Sound Wave flew out from the river wall and hit the Tsar who was not protected by his sand soldiers.
Little Tian's two-stage Q followed up and successfully used the Sand Emperor's Flash.
It wasn't that he couldn't use Weaken, but Xiao Tian was one step away from triggering Thunder. If he used Weaken, he would lose too much health and put pressure on his lane.
After forcing out Blink, Xiao Tian went all the way down to eat his own mana buff.
As usual, Lin Yan followed up with the final blow. Tsar tried his best to push the minions into the turret, but the arrival of the third wave of cannons stopped Xiao Hu's plan.
At this time, Lin Yan's skills had changed. Tsar couldn't take a single burst of damage. If the minions couldn't enter the tower, then Xiao Hu would be stuck for a long time.
"Saucepan, help me log off." Xiao Hu called for his good brother MLXG.
As soon as Saucepan arrived at the third location, he glanced at the minions in the middle lane and realized that Xiao Hu could not deal with this wave of minions on his own, so he could only take a detour to the middle lane.
Lin Yan began to shout orders into the team's microphone the moment he saw Qian Jue appear in the middle lane.
"Grab down, grab down!"
Lin Yan knew that his plan had succeeded. With Qian Jue in the middle lane, Xiao Tian would be able to go to the bottom lane without any worries.
After 1 minute and 30 seconds, the duo in the bottom lane set up their vision in the river. At this time, the accessory's eye had disappeared, and its cooldown was not over yet.
Ouze and Mata realized that there were people around them the moment they saw Xiao Ming rushing forward.
However, they were still one step too late. Hammer Stone was too good at keeping people around. Xiao Tian went around the triangular bushes and predicted Ouze's Blink with his Heaven's Sonic Wave. He followed up and killed him, while Karma used Blink to escape back to the turret.
"It's a gamble, but it's very accurate." Remember commented, "The bottom lane is going to be tough."
Policewoman had the advantage over Ouze in the first few levels and after the three-piece set. Both of them could fully utilize their range advantage during this period of time. Xiao Tian's wave of kills directly broke Ouze's rhythm.
After killing Policewoman and forcing Karma to retreat, YM's Centaur rushed back to the dragon pit and collected the newly spawned Wind Dragon.
The Wind Dragon only provided a movement speed buff after leaving the battle. It was the weakest of the four dragons, but it was better than nothing. If they did not kill it, they would not be able to farm another dragon.
Lin Yan slowly cleared the creeps under the turret. Little Temptress's ability to clear creeps was too reliant on her high cooldown W.
By the time he finished clearing the creeps, Tsar had already patched up Dark Seal and returned to the top lane.
Lin Yan's W went over the wall and stuck an eye in the river bushes. Then, he returned to the city and TPed back to the top lane.
Xiao Tian's sense of smell was extremely sharp in this game. After eating the dragon, he returned to the top lane and successfully counterattacked MLXG, forcing the enemy to use Double Blink. Then, he cooperated with Lin Yan and Jin Gong to invade the jungle and kill Three Wolves and River Crab.
"Come on." Lin Yan raised his hand and killed the melee creeps with a basic attack. They were now at the ninth wave of creeps. Lin Yan would level up to level 6 in this wave of creeps.
However, Xiao Hu reached level 6 later than Lin Yan.
This was because Qian Jue had eaten a lot of EXP when she helped push the creeps.
Xiao Hu still needed 35 seconds to complete his Blink. It was the easiest time for him to let his guard down. YM's jungler seized the opportunity to attack.
"God, this is a very tricky timing. Xiao Hu's Blink still needs a bit more time to complete. He doesn't seem to have noticed Xiao Tian's movements …"
The commentators on the commentary platform could only see the rough outline. It was hard to notice things like the EXP bar. Lin Yan ate the last melee creeps and reached level 6.
Little Tiger tried his best to break free from Lin Ran's chains, but Little Tian came back from behind the river wall and followed up with a normal attack followed by a slow attack from his QRE.
Xiao Hu used EQ and drifted back to the tower. However, Xiao Tian's Heavenly Sound Wave accurately hit him and triggered a Thunder Strike to kill Xiao Hu.
"Xiao Hu is going to lose a lot this time," Remember said. "A large wave of creeps entered the tower. He's going to fall behind in level."
Lin Yan and Xiao Tian rushed to the canyon vanguard. Looper lost sight of YM's jungler and didn't dare to rush the lane. He could only retreat to the front of the tower.
At this time, a wave of fighting broke out in the bottom lane. Xiao Ming's Stone Hammer hooked Mata's Karma, and Ning added the damage to chase down the tower to kill it. The Policewoman's ability to fight in lane mostly came from the continuous consumption of shooting range, so she was helpless against this kind of melee.
This wave of fighting only resulted in Ning's Blink. Ning took the kill and returned home to take out his BF Greatsword and Longsword. His equipment was very luxurious.
"RNG's lineup definitely won't be able to compete with YM in the early stages," Long-hair said with a matter-of-fact expression. "Now it's up to YM to see how much of an advantage they can gain in the next 20 minutes."
Phyllostachys Pubescens Mongoose didn't plan to let RNG continue to develop.
At the 8 minute mark, Xiao Tian easily entered RNG's jungler zone and crouched down to MLXG, who was about to go red. AQAERQ killed Qian Jue, who had more than half of her health left, and then took the red.
Lin Yan also moved down at the same time. Little Temptress and Blind Monk's agility made it impossible for Ouze and Mata to retreat. Four packs of 2, RNG's bottom lane both accompanied Qian Jue back to the fountain.
RNG was now at a huge disadvantage. When Lin Yan and Xiao Tian came to the bottom lane again and killed RNG's bottom lane, the economy gap between the two sides had reached 4.5K. At this time, the match had only gone on for 10 minutes.
Lin Yan roamed twice before returning to the top lane. He found that Tsar had dropped a pair of Quicksilver Shoes and sighed in relief.
Even though he didn't know why Xiao Hu was messing around, it was a good thing for him. He originally thought that RNG would have two C's, but now he found out that it was one and a half. As long as he could pin down Ouze, the match would be won.
Ouze's Policewoman was able to deal 70 CS at the 10 minute mark. To him, this development wasn't up to standard. Policewoman had also wasted her early strong phase.
Policewoman's mid phase was a joke. From the time she dropped a tower in the bottom lane until she had three pieces of equipment, it was very difficult for Policewoman to play a strong role in the match. Ouze was no exception.
Under Lin Yan's command, YM wouldn't give Ouze any more time to develop. Lin Yan sacrificed a portion of his minions and went to the opposite jungle with Xiao Tian to ambush him. As long as Ouze dared to come online, he would be greeted with a wave of 4BO2s.
At the 20 minute mark, Ouze went to the top lane under the protection of MLXG and Mata. Lin Yan poked out from Magical Swamp Frog's W position.
Mata hurriedly gave his shield to Ouze, but he didn't expect Lin Yan's target to be his fragile Karma. With a QRE, Ouze couldn't save Mata even if he handed over his healer.
After losing their vision, RNG didn't dare to enter the jungle. YM rushed the Dragon and forced them to the high ground.
Lin Yan went up the high ground and used a QRE to kill Ouze again. MLXG's big move was a fraction of a second late and couldn't save Ouze.
In RNG's perspective, Lin Yan's Little Temptress appeared and disappeared like a ghost. Ouze's mouse was still on the floor when a purple shadow jumped out from the shadows. There wasn't even time to react. Policewoman's health bar disappeared in an instant.
"Puppy, you've provoked us!"
Remember shouted. "Qian Jue's R has been used. YM's five players rushed up and directly jumped over the high tower to force a team battle!"
"Sky Trigger's second Q flew up, and R Flash kicked three people away like candied haws!
Lucian and Murloc added damage. RNG was instantly wiped out! "Long Hair was very excited." 22 minutes and 15 seconds. YM flattened RNG's base! "
"2: 0 again!" Remember shouted. "YM still maintains their invincible golden body!
No one can destroy their main castle Crystal! "
The YM players took off their headphones and went to shake hands with the RNG players.
Ouze's expression wasn't very good, but Lin Yan wasn't familiar with him. He simply shook hands and turned to leave.
Lin Yan had a lot on his mind. They also had very important problems to solve. They had to go back to base and review first.
