WDG's lineup in this game was very aggressive, and each line seemed to have explosive damage, but compared to LBG's solid lineup, it was a bit too fragile.
Although it is a four-core lineup, they actually do not have heroes that are good at dealing with front-line tanks, so if the LBG team is really allowed to drag the balance into the late game, they actually have no chance of winning.
Lin Mi was very clear about this, so he chose to start controlling the vision of the Rift Herald early. They could give up the first little dragon, but the first Rift Herald must be theirs.
Lin Mi got off the car near the second tower where Zhuo Yang had vision, so the LBG team members didn't know his location.
Yumi is not a support suitable for roaming. Normal support players will always follow the ADC to develop after choosing Yumi, and then attach themselves to the jungler to provide vision after the laning phase, but Lin Mi is a support player who is not even half-baked.
In his eyes, there are no tacit rules and regulations. Whether it is Yuumi or any other support, it makes no difference to him. When it is time to provide vision, you have to provide vision.
This is actually not a good habit, because once Yuumi, who has no ability to protect herself, is ambushed by the opponent while she is alone in vision, she will be killed for nothing.
The LBG team didn't believe that Lin Mi dared to roam with Yuumi. Although they saw Jifeng going to the line alone, they thought that Lin Mi must be hiding in the bushes nearby, so the LBG team's bottom lane duo carefully pushed the line across the river, and then turned on a scan to look for the cat in the bushes.
At this time, Brother Hai, who was on the road, suddenly attacked and chased after Shi Yi, stabbing him continuously.
Shiyi turned and ran, shouting as he ran: "Is the opposing midfielder coming to catch me?"
Zhenxin immediately replied: "Shipgod is still online, Sun just went to the bottom lane, no one is catching you."
Shiyi immediately felt confident.
Although he can't beat Brother Hai now, he still has flash, so he can still run away if he wants to.
But he really didn't want to be beaten back home like this, because the military line was not in his favor. If he returned to the city, Brother Hai would definitely take the opportunity to eat one or two layers of his plating, and then he would be even more difficult to beat.
So he pretended deliberately that he was reluctant to use his flash and kept pulling backwards, trying to trick Brother Hai into the defense tower and use the damage of the defense tower to exchange his life with Brother Hai.
He was calculating happily, and even thought that he might be able to push Hai Ge to his limit and freeze him under the defense tower, so that he could get Hai Ge's head without dying.
It seemed as if Hai Ge had really taken the bait and was pulled into the defensive tower by Shi Yi. They both used their flash at the same time. Seeing that Hai Ge's Kalista could get Shi Yi's head by just pulling out her spear, Shi Yi suddenly turned around and froze Hai Ge.
"Brothers, we got first blood!"
Shiyi shouted excitedly, but before the other members of the LBG team could shout 666 to him, a Yuumi suddenly jumped from the shadows to Brother Hai, and with a mouthful of milk and treatment, he helped Brother Hai block the fatal blow from the defense tower.
Brother Hai used the acceleration given by Lin Mi to pull out of the defense tower, and Lin Mi used the Q skill in return to hit Shi Yi in a roundabout way.
Shiyi no longer had any displacement skills at this time, and he was still hit by Lin Mi while swaying around, and fell helplessly under the defense tower.
In the live broadcast, Shiyi looked confused.
He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Why is Yuumi on the opposite side in the top lane?"
There was a moment of silence in the LBG team's voice chat, because no one knew the answer.
"Hahaha, Yuumi can actually gank the top laner. It seems that WDG's substitution is quite good."
Bi Hai looked at Shi Yi's silly expression and laughed wantonly, "I think Shi Yi is stupid. Why would a cat suddenly run out from the shadows?"
Qingtian: "Just now, Jifeng went online without waiting for seek. We were still wondering if we didn't communicate well. Now it seems that this was planned. The mid and jungle of WDG team deliberately appeared in LBG's field of vision to make Shiyi feel safe, so he dared to dawdle and not leave in order to plot against Haige, but he didn't expect that he was the one being plotted against."
The two commentators on the stage gave a very logical analysis, but in fact, this wave was really just a coincidence.
"Fuck, I almost flipped over,"
Brother Hai was still in shock, "Shi Yi is so evil, he actually plotted against me on purpose. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, Xiaomi, I would have been laughed at by him for a long time."
Lin Mi returned to the city with an innocent look on his face: "I just came here to be a ward. Who could have thought that I would run into you two fighting by such a coincidence? Luckily, the boat god gave me a ride. Otherwise, if I had come here by myself, I would probably only be able to collect your body."
Having earned the first blood money for nothing, Lin Mi happily updated his equipment, while Ji Feng, who was severely injured in a one-on-two fight in the bottom lane, also returned to the city for supplies and took him back with him on the way.
Everything seemed so natural, as if this was really a wonderful gank, and this wave made the already cautious LBG team even more cautious. They would rather give up the Rift Herald and the little dragon than engage in battle with the WBG team again.
Zhuoyang wandered around the canyon and couldn't find any opportunity anywhere.
He said irritably: "LBG team should change its name to Turtle Team. How can they be so tolerant? I have already stolen two blue buffs from True Heart, why doesn't he come to catch me?"
Lin Mi was also a little annoyed.
His thinking was completely different from Ji Feng's. Ji Feng had missed his attacks several times because he wanted to help with the attack.
"They want to force the game to the late stage," Lin Mi simply hung on Swift Wind and didn't get off to cushion the blows, just treating himself as a pendant, "I guess they will let go of the second little dragon and use it to exchange for the second Rift Herald, so that we can't rely on the Herald to get the first blood tower."
Just now, Zhuoyang couldn't find a good opportunity and could only place the first Rift Herald in the middle lane. The LBG team gathered many people to defend, preventing the WDG team from taking the first tower.
However, because the middle lane tower was hit by the Rift Herald and its health was low, if the second Rift Herald also fell into WDG's hands, the middle lane tower would inevitably be lost. Once the middle lane tower was lost, WDG team would be able to take advantage of the situation and enter the deep of LBG's jungle, not only to kill more wild monsters, but also to force LBG team to not dare to defend the upper and lower lane towers, further widening the economic gap.
So LBG team can give up the little dragon, but they will never give up the Rift Herald.
"Then let's go fight the Rift Herald," Swiftwind interrupted. "If we fight the Rift Herald, they will definitely come to join us. Isn't it a good opportunity to fight them?"
Lin Mi pondered: "Ship God, do you think we should go for the Vanguard or the Speed Dragon? If we take down the second little dragon now, we can force the LBG team to fight the Dragon Soul earlier and not give them the opportunity to drag it out any longer."
Rong Zezhou looked at his current equipment and asked, "How big of an economic advantage do we have now?"
"Less than 2,000," Lin Mi replied immediately, "and I got the first blood, so I'm not that far ahead in terms of equipment."
"Then let's take the little dragon first," Rong Zezhou made a quick decision, "Zhuoyang, you and Jifeng go take the little dragon, and Brother Hai and I will try to interfere with them taking the vanguard. If we have time, we will fight."
Lin Mi asked: "What about me?"
Rong Zezhou thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you come with me to get a good view."
Lin Mi agreed happily, abandoning the unnecessary Gale and running towards his center laner. Rong Zezhou controlled the Enchantress to bypass the field of vision and lean down to pick up his short-legged kitten.
Lin Mi and Rong Zezhou are used to playing in a duo. For Lin Mi, it is much easier to pad Rong Zezhou than to pad Ji Feng.
He jumped up and down on Rong Zezhou, helping him clear the line of soldiers, and then the two of them pretended to return to the city together, but secretly canceled the plan and sneaked into the bushes.
Sure enough, the LBG team began to gather towards the Rift Herald. Their bottom lane duo stood in the middle lane to clear the minions, while the mid and jungle duo cleared the vision near the dragon pit and began to move the vanguard.
What they didn't know was that there was a witch with a cat hiding in the edge of the bushes, watching their movements.
There is no vision in the Baron pit, and the WDG team members cannot see the health of the Rift Herald, but they have Lin Mi.
Without any interruptions, Lin Mi quickly calculated the Rift Herald's health and the damage of LBG's mid and jungle, then looked at his team's progress in killing the little dragon, and said, "Ship God, I think it's too late."
Rong Zezhou never doubted his academic master's calculation ability, and immediately changed his strategy: "Ji Feng takes the little dragon himself, Zhuo Yang comes over and starts their adc."
Since there was no time to wait until the little dragon was killed before grabbing the vanguard, he might as well kill the LBG duo who were clearing the line. He didn't believe that LBG's mid and jungle would watch their duo being killed for the Rift Herald.
The moment Zhuoyang was in position, Rong Zezhou and Lin Mi stepped directly forward. Lin Mi immediately activated his ultimate skill diagonally, forcing the LBG's bottom lane duo to flash towards the bottom lane.
However, when they dodged, they happened to hit Zhuo Yang's face. Zhuo Yang pounced on LBG's adc without any hesitation.
Rong Zezhou followed up with damage and killed LBG's adc. Their support, relying on his thick skin and flesh, ruthlessly abandoned the adc and ran back to the defensive tower.
Swiftwind got the little dragon, while LBG's mid and jungle pretended not to see what was happening in the middle lane. They took the Rift Herald and then went back to the middle lane to defend the tower.
"You LBG are really hard to beat,"
In the lounge, Roll complained to Mao Bing, "Azhou's decision this time was perfect, but he really didn't fall for it. It was totally worth it to trade an ADC's life for a Rift Herald."
Just now, LBG team was too decisive in taking the Rift Herald, and did not give WBG team any chance to take the little dragon first and then rush over. Rong Zezhou and Lin Mi had only two choices at that time: either go 2v2 with LBG's mid and jungle and try to see if they can grab the Rift Herald when Zhenxin has the smite in his hand, or activate LBG's adc and force their mid and jungle to give up the herald and come to support.
If Roll were to make the decision, he would have made the same choice as Rong Zezhou. Unfortunately, LBG's Zhongye was as determined as a rock and only wanted a vanguard. He didn't waver at all.
Although Rong Zezhou killed LBG's adc in this wave, he actually did not break LBG's defense. Without the little dragon and the vanguard, LBG can continue to avoid the battle.
"Why don't you talk about this crappy lineup you chose that doesn't even have a stable control?"
Mao Bing retorted rudely, "There are only two control players in the whole team of five. One top laner throws his ultimate at the jungler, and one Azhou brings Yumi into the game to use his ultimate. They are all control players who can't come back. How can we fight in a team with this lineup?"
Roll sighed helplessly: "Bing, even if I give Xiaomi a robot, do you think he can start a good team fight? Although Yumi's ultimate is unstable, at least it's good for counterattacks, right? To be honest, if we want to drag the team fight to the late stage with this lineup that we're pushing into the game, we're courting death, right?"
Maobing knew that what Roll said made a lot of sense.
Letting a player who mainly plays ADC choose a team-starting support basically means he is guaranteed to be killed.
If they were facing a team with a lower ranking today, this set of bp might have really worked wonders, but facing the LBG team, which has always been famous for its stability, there is really nothing they can do.
WDG team seemed to have no problems in this game.
They gained the economic advantage in the laning phase and controlled most of the ancient resources. The development of each point was good, but when it came to the real team fight, this little economic advantage could not make up for the disadvantage of the lineup. What's more, this round was about the Wind Dragon Soul, which was the most disadvantageous to the advantaged side.
The LBG team didn't care about the Wind Dragon Soul at all. They even let the WBG team attack the fourth dragon first, and then blocked them in the dragon pit in a dumpling-like manner.
A team fight, one for five.
Rong Zezhou replaced LBG's adc, but lay in the dragon pit with his teammates.
From this team fight onwards, WDG could no longer confront LBG head-on.
"The big dragon or the ancient dragon, which one should we guard?"
Lin Mi kept switching back and forth between the two dragon pits, but both sides were pitch black.
As a Yuumi, he couldn't go out to provide vision by himself, and could only watch as the LBG team cleared all the wards in the river.
Rong Zezhou's expression was very serious. He knew in his heart that they no longer had any choice.
At this point, the four little dragons and the Wind Dragon Soul they obtained could no longer bring them any advantages. On the contrary, because of their speed dragon style of play, the ancient dragon was born very early.
If they didn't get the dragon soul, they could let go of the small dragon and concentrate on defending the big dragon. But now, what's the point of them defending the big dragon?
Once LBG gets the Ancient Dragon, it will be useless even if they exchange for the Baron. LBG's strong opening lineup will rush directly in front of them and not give them any chance to struggle.
So now they can only choose to defend the ancient dragon, hoping that if they can grab the ancient dragon, they can use the ancient dragon's killing buff to make up for the disadvantage of the lineup.
"We don't want the Baron. They don't have enough range, and it's hard to push the high ground even if they get the Baron."
No matter how powerless he felt, Rong Zezhou was still actively arranging his tactics. "Let's go all in on the Ancient Dragon. Everyone's goal is to get the Ancient Dragon. We'll fight them in a group after we get it."
Everyone on the WDG team responded and slowly groped their way towards the Ancient Dragon.
Because of the poor vision, they could only huddle together and move forward little by little. At this time, in a place they could not see, the players of the LBG team had already ambushed near the ancient dragon pit.
The LBG team was very patient. They just kept scanning and waiting quietly until all the prey appeared, and then they suddenly pounced out together.
Lin Mi was mentally prepared. The moment the LBG team appeared, he activated his ultimate move. Magic ripples flew over, but before his control could take effect, the LBG team had already pounced on his face.
If it was a team fight, Lin Mi could still heal his teammates, but in a forced team fight like this, he couldn't even heal them in time before his teammates fell one after another.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Rong Zezhou took Lin Mi and tried to escape over the wall, but was thrown over by Shi Yi and was pinned down. With Rong Zezhou's death, Lin Mi, who fell off his body, was sent back to the spring without any suspense.
ACE.
Following the system's announcement, the LBG team no longer cared about the Baron or Ancient Dragon and directly started destroying the middle lane tower, hoping to end the game before the WBG team was resurrected.
Ji Feng was lying in the fountain, muttering: "I can still defend after I get up, I can clear the line very quickly, I will be alive soon——"
However, Lin Mi knew very well that it was too late.
LBG destroyed the tower very quickly, and they didn't even have time to wait for Gale to revive before they destroyed the main crystal.
This was Lin Mi's second time participating in the competition, but his first time losing.
He thought he was strong enough. He kept telling himself that they couldn't win this game in the first place, and that losing was normal and there was no need to be sad. However, the moment he saw his main crystal explode, his eyes still turned red.
He is the substitute of the team, and is supposed to take over when his teammates have problems, but today he held his teammates back.
If he could practice more heroes in other positions, if he could provide better support, if he and Swiftwind could cooperate better, if -
While Lin Mi's mind was still full of what-ifs, he was pulled into a warm embrace.
Rong Zezhou stepped over the gust of wind and hugged his assistant tightly. He patted his back and whispered to him, "Xiaomi, you've done very well. Victory and defeat are common in the military. We just need to fight back in the next game."
Lin Mi was so amused by Rong Zezhou's words "Victory and defeat are common in the military" that she burst out laughing, and the tearful feeling on her face disappeared instantly.
He struggled to pull Rong Zezhou away from him, then looked up at his eyes and said, "Ship God, you are really not suitable for saying such serious words. You are more adorable when you use idioms randomly."
Rong Zezhou rubbed Lin Mi's head indulgently, then put his arm around his shoulders and coaxed him, "Well, when we get back to the base, I'll tell you idioms all night long."
Ji Feng, who was originally a little annoyed at losing, sighed deeply: "Brother, can you choose a good place to show off your love? Even if you can't hear the audience screaming, at least you can see the people coming over to shake hands, right? If you two continue to be so affectionate, I'm going to call the police."
Walking up to Lin Mi and waiting for a handshake, Shiyi immediately took two steps back, extremely alert: "Don't talk nonsense, Mizhou CP is YYDS, I will never break it up or go against it! Ship God Xiaomi, you don't have to pay attention to me, just continue!"
Lin Mi: ...
Lin Mi turned his head to look at the claw that was still holding his shoulder and refused to let go, and stepped back without saying a word. Rong Zezhou felt pain, but endured it to maintain his image and gave Shi Yi a ferocious smile.
Real meaning: ...
Help, I didn't do anything, please, God of the ship, spare my life!
