The members of both teams exchanged greetings for a while before the referee announced the start of the match.
"IG has chosen the red side and left the blue side to YM," Doll said as he looked at the screen in front of the commentary platform. "IG has banned Blind Monk, Hammer Stone, and Excavator."
"Since Rookie is here, there's no need to ban the mid lane heroes. IG is aiming for the mid lane support position and will kill all the heroes that can lead the tempo of the game," Mille analyzed. "IG's plan is very good."
"YM has also banned Bard and Chiwil." Mille looked at the BP and continued.
"The two heroes, Bard and Sivir, are unreasonable when facing each other. YM will definitely have the advantage in the bottom lane. It's impossible for them to give IG a free hand."
"That's right."
Doll wanted to interrupt and add more, but he realized that he couldn't say anything with his own understanding. He could only nod in agreement.
"Here comes the interesting part. Neither side will ban the mid laner. Everyone will decide the winner based on their own abilities," Mille said with a smile. "YM's first pick for Callista is indeed a strategy to take down the bottom lane."
"IG took Ember + Tam." Doll frowned. "I realized that ever since YM used the Ember system, the major teams have started to imitate it. However, it's difficult to achieve the same effect that YM used."
"This system requires resources and a change in the team's style. Most of the LPL teams are still focused on the mid and late game. This doesn't match Ember's strong period. Penetrating Ember's damage in the late game can't be compared to heroes like Chiwil and Ice." Mille was right.
However, if a commentator could understand the problem, most of the team's coaches and analysts could understand it as well.
The key was how to get the players to speed up the pace of the game. It was not easy to change the long-term operational habits in just a week.
(If you don't understand, just look at the current EDG. Everyone knows that they have to improve their decision-making ability in the late game. However, the players still run around like headless flies during the game. This habit is very difficult to change in a short period of time.)
However, Chris did not choose Ash for the sake of building a system. He just wanted the bottom lane to do well.
Previously, the combination of rain and tabe had lost a tower every 10 minutes and were killed by the laner. They were known as the weakest bottom lane in LPL. Even a random player in SAT could beat them.
Rookie had led this bottom lane and fought against the Gemini for half a year. It had been hard on him.
Chris could be considered one of the top coaches in the country, and he knew that it was difficult for him to change the individual abilities of his team members — it was unrealistic to hypnotize the Rain Emperor and make him suddenly explode.
Thus, he could only give the best heroes for the bottom lane, Ember + Tam.
With Ember's outstanding early combat ability and Tam's outstanding protection, even though it wasn't as strong as Chiwil and Bard's forceful push, it wasn't a problem for them to stay under the tower and eat the enemy troops.
Hanyi didn't think that IG's bottom lane wouldn't even have the slightest bit of resistance.
"What about robots?"
Hanyi patted Xiao Ming's shoulder. "You guys will definitely push the bottom lane. When the time comes, hook Tam to come out and fight."
Xiao Ming naturally didn't have any objections. He liked to play this kind of support that had the initiative.
"Let's give Xiao Tian Spider. There are no other junglers to choose from in this game," Hanyi said after thinking for a while.
There was a version of Nanqiang outside, but Xiao Tian couldn't play it.
Xiao Tian pursed his lips and adjusted his glasses, looking at Lin Yan who had chosen Spider for him.
"YM chose Nanqiang and Big Tree. They added a crowd-control skill. This way, Nanqiang can gank and coordinate with the Gemini. After all, Nanqiang players are afraid of not having any crowd-control skills. They can't keep the enemy down with just their damage," Mille said.
"IG still chose to leave the counter position to Broiler. This is also their fixed strategy this season," Doll continued. "After all, Broiler can bring the entire team to life if he plays smoothly. If even Broiler can't make it, IG will have a hard time winning."
"Lisandro + Captain!"
Mille looked at YM's last two choices. "This ensures that the top lane has the advantage, allowing Captain to develop without pressure. The mid lane also has enough speed to support the side lanes."
"It's very YM's style of selection," Doll commented. "It's just that Jin Gong on the top lane surprised me by choosing Captain. This is because in the original YM system, Jin Gong was mainly responsible for starting the team and tanking damage. Even if they chose Kenji, she would only be able to push with 41 points. It's different from Captain, who is half solo and half team damage output."
"Yes, YM has been constantly enriching their tactical system recently," Mille nodded. "I can see that they are getting stronger step by step."
IG's last choice hesitated for a long time before choosing Clockwork Devil at the last moment of the countdown.
The lineup was confirmed. The blue YM: Captain, Spider, Lisandro, Callista, Robot.
The red IG: Big Tree, Nanqiang, Clockwork Devil, Ember, and Tam.
"To be honest, I'm optimistic about YM." Mille followed Doll's example and crossed his arms. "This lineup has all the damage control and damage control. They just lack a tank. IG's lineup is fine for team battles, but how are they going to survive the laning phase?"
"YM is the most aggressive team in the early and middle stages of LPL. They definitely won't give IG a chance to breathe," Doll said in an exaggerated tone. "You know, all the teams that tried to drag out the later stages of the game with YM ended up dragging themselves to death."
Lin Yan adjusted his headset and glanced at Su Cheng, who was sitting in the first row of the audience. She was holding an YM support sign in her hand. Her black T-shirt accentuated her fair and delicate arms, and her eyes were clear and bright.
She was staring intently at the big screen diagonally above her and did not notice Lin Yan's gaze.
He exhaled, and the sound of the referee announcing the start of the game came from his headset.
Lin Yan's throat unconsciously moved up and down as he turned his attention to the screen in front of him.
After buying the Corrosive Potion, Lin Yan and his teammates walked out of the spring together.
With Callista, Robot, and Spider, there was no reason for YM not to invade with a level one team.
Lin Yan originally thought that if he could detect the movement of the enemy jungler, then it would be a success. After all, the previous LPL teams would choose to avoid the battle when they saw YM's level one team. He did not expect to have an unexpected gain this time.
Zhui and Tam did not know if they were crazy. They stood at the bottom lane in a daze, acting as human eyes.
Xiao Ming flashed his hook the moment he saw them.
As a Korean, Rain Emperor could not understand tabe's mixed Cantonese Mandarin for a moment. He immediately flashed and wanted to run.
As for the old tabe, he was worthy of being the second runner-up's support. The older he got, the more skillful he was. He thought that Xiao Ming's Robot would flash and hook Rain Emperor. As a support whose job was to protect the AD team, he instantly learned from W and actually swallowed Rain Emperor back into his mouth.
However, Xiao Ming aimed at Tam from the beginning.
The slightly rusty flying claws grabbed onto Tam's fat body and pulled it over. The Rain Emperor didn't even have time to escape from Tam's bloody mouth before he was brought to the side of the YM members.
Lin Yan was surprised. He instantly learned W's skill and controlled Tam.
Zhui ran out of Tam's mouth. Rain Emperor, who did not flash, still had a strong desire to live. He handed over his healing and wanted to use his speed to increase the distance between them.
However, JKL also handed over his healing. Under his control, he skillfully jumped forward with his Hover-boots. Crimson Moon Callista stabbed scarlet spears into Western Cowboy Zhui's body.
After stabbing three spears, E [Lacerate] violently pulled out all the spears from Zhui's body. A large amount of blood gushed out from the torn wounds. Zhui, who was slowed down, could not escape the fate of being chased to death.
As for Level 1 without a gray shield, how could Tam withstand YM's damage? It did not even flash. It stuck out its tongue and died in the river. Its head was taken by Lin Yan's normal attack.
Broiler, who was standing guard in the upper half of the jungle, witnessed Rain Emperor and tabe's amazing maneuvers. He helplessly slapped his forehead and sighed heavily.
He had no choice. He had accepted this mission a year and a half ago. Even if he had tears in his eyes, he still had to finish it.
The IG Gemini let out a hearty laugh. They had the charm of the optimistic family's wild kings.
"Ah, this …" Mille, who was on the commentary platform, was speechless. He and Doll, who was also in a state of confusion, looked at each other. Even though they had been in the commentary industry for many years, they were also speechless at this moment.
The livestream exploded.
"What kind of maneuver is this?
Is IG's bottom lane serious? "
"I'm an idiot. Don't feed me food."
"Isn't this like planting rice in my mouth?
I just finished my meal and came to watch the match. I didn't expect to be hungry again. Hurry up and order a fried chicken. "
There were also many lurking dogs in the livestream. They, who were used to breaking legs, sent out 666 to express their appreciation and praise for the duo in the bottom lane.
They were already lying flat and waiting to be ridiculed. When they saw that the bottom lane that they supported had made a fatal mistake, not only were they not angry, they even wanted to laugh.
"What kind of godly coordination is this?
I love it. "Lin Yan returned to the city and repaired a Dark Seal. He happily rushed online.
YM's voice chat was filled with laughter. The atmosphere was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
