"I would like to ask player JKL, how do you feel about getting a pentakill in just two weeks?"
The LPL host today was JKL. In the eyes of the league officials, the first pentakill of the season was enough of a gimmick.
"Hmm …" Hearing the female host's question, JKL pondered for two seconds. "I don't feel anything. My teammates are too strong. I just need to follow behind and pick up kills. As long as I have hands."
"Are you a water army AD?"
"As long as you have hands?
You can't even use your hands and feet. "
When the beautiful female host heard JKL's answer, the smile on her face froze for a moment.
"Then the next question. How do you evaluate mid laner Jess? He got a solo kill at level 3." The female host looked at the card in her hand and asked the next question.
"Uh …" JKL habitually hesitated. "It's a basic operation for Brother Ran. He trained Jess even more fiercely than this game. His aim is ridiculously accurate. Our team calls him YM Cannon King."
In team YM's lounge, everyone looked at the honest JKL being interviewed on stage. Their faces bloomed with joy.
After JKL returned to the lounge, there was still a competition interview for the esports media.
As long as it did not involve him, Lin Yan lowered his head and played with his phone while chatting with Su Cheng.
Xiao Tian, who was beside him, was curious. He wanted to take a look, but Lin Yan glared at him. He retreated back to his seat and played with the microphone in his hand.
Tonight's Ember + Jess system was definitely a big hit. Team EDG had no way to fight back against such a system of poke and pushing. Their base was flattened in 22 minutes.
The reporters naturally threw their questions to Coach Hanyi, who was in charge of BP.
Hanyi revealed a little of his understanding of Ember's system. Just as he said before the second game, he released this system to mess up the LPL.
He dared to release it because he was not afraid that other LPL teams would steal it.
This system was not compatible with the current LPL mainstream playstyle. You could not learn it even if you wanted to.
EDG and WE were both veteran teams. They did not like bloody matches. They preferred to play steadily and wait for mid to late game team battles.
What Jack Loves said in the interview was right. Ember was a hero that depended on the performance of his teammates. He was as ferocious as a dog in advantageous situations, killing one person with a single shot. In disadvantageous situations, he was like a scab to the front row of the opposing team. It was common for him to deal 41 damage with a single critical hit.
This type of hero was not suitable for EDG and WE's system. Their ADCs preferred heroes like Chiwil and Policewoman who had the ability to turn the game around in the mid to late game.
In fact, not all LPL teams were unsuitable for this Ash system.
The RNG in the Spring Season was the best choice. They didn't want to use Dusk as a tool. Xiao Hu, MLXG, and Mata would wander around and do things in the early and middle stages. In the middle stages, they could team up and push the tower to end the game.
Unfortunately, Wu Xin was pressed onto the bench. Now, RNG couldn't play this system.
Because Ouze was no good … Just kidding.
As everyone knew, Ouze didn't play this type of hero as a tool. He liked to play the core in the late game and carry the game in the team battles.
Ember was definitely a poor choice for him.
It could be said that in the current LPL teams, only YM could use this Ash system well.
Hanyi's goal was to let these teams follow suit and practice the Ash system. As long as they lost one or two games with this lineup, YM's throne of first place in the regular season would be secured. The chances of them entering S6 would also be higher.
After the post-match interview session, Lin Yan and his teammates returned to the team's lounge.
The four teammates were discussing eating Haidilao tonight to celebrate. After beating EDG, they could also take a day off to relax.
"Come back early tonight. If there's no subway, take a taxi. Don't spend the night outside," Hao nagged and reminded the kids. "Underage kids shouldn't drink. Jin Gong, keep an eye on them …"
Lin Yan and his teammates carried their bags and left the team's lounge.
"Is Brother Ran coming with us?" JKL's big head came over and asked.
"Don't think about it, Big Head's son. Brother Ran has someone to accompany him," Phyllostachys Pubescens immediately said sarcastically.
"You guys go ahead. My high school classmate is in Shanghai. I'll have dinner with her." Lin Yan smiled.
Everyone left the stadium through the player passageway. As the two matches ended quickly, it was not even 9 pm yet. For Shanghai, nightlife had just begun.
Su Cheng leaned against the corner of the wall and waited for him. Lin Yan and his teammates left the team.
The other three were in full swing chatting about JKL's pentakill. Only Xiao Tian looked back and vaguely saw Su Cheng's face.
Phyllostachys Pubescens smacked his lips. He felt like he had just eaten a lemon. His mouth was sour and astringent.
"You're so slow. I'm going to die from the heat just standing here."
Su Cheng was wearing a pure white t-shirt and black pants. Her long and slender limbs were exposed. Under the night sky, her skin was as white as snow.
"There will be reporters after the match. We still have to go back to the lounge to pack our bags." Lin Yan tilted his head and looked at Su Cheng. "Have you thought about what we're going to eat tonight?"
"Barbecue?" Su Cheng tilted her head and said, "Do you have any recommendations?"
"… I don't really have any. I don't usually leave the base. I don't know which restaurants are good here." Lin Yan scratched his head.
Su Cheng sighed. She couldn't do anything about Lin Yan. "Then I'll look at the reviews and find a Suzhou restaurant."
Half an hour later, the two finally entered the restaurant. The cold air that blew in their faces instantly dried the sweat on their foreheads.
"How did you do on the college entrance exam?" Lin Yan asked.
"Pretty good. Let's wait for the results to come out on the 25th." Su Cheng sat across from Lin Yan and stared at his face.
This was the first time in six months that Su Cheng had observed Lin Yan up close.
She suddenly felt that the boy in front of her had matured a lot. His originally sharp facial features had become slightly softer …
Su Cheng glanced at Lin Yan again. She knew why he had changed.
"Gouzi, you've gained weight!" she said in surprise.
Lin Yan was stunned for two seconds. He explained, "I've been working out recently …"
"It's good to gain weight. You were too skinny before …" Su Cheng habitually grabbed Lin Yan's arm and squeezed it.
Lin Yan's sense of touch was very sensitive. He could feel the warmth of Su Cheng's slender fingers when they touched his skin. Lin Yan inexplicably felt his heart being scratched by a cat.
Then Su Cheng's jade-white cheeks flushed red. She quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been scalded by hot water.
The two tacitly changed the topic to studying and the competition that had just ended.
After the college entrance exam, Su Cheng had learned a lot about the League of Legends. She could often catch up on the jokes that Lin Yan unintentionally threw at her.
However, the topics they could talk about were limited. Su Cheng wasn't a professional player, and Lin Yan hadn't taken the college entrance exam. The two of them only touched on the topics that each other was good at. They didn't dare to go deeper.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became quiet. It was a bit awkward.
Lin Yan didn't know what the problem was. He felt that Su Cheng had become much more taciturn with him this time.
She clearly wasn't like this when they chatted online. He and Su Cheng had endless emojis and words. What was going on?
