The stunning performance not only left the audience in awe but also left Jiang Jin baffled. As he was pouring water, he accidentally knocked over the cup, and in his haste, he flipped the table, soaking everything on it.
At this point, he had no time to worry about the mess. He pushed aside the items on the table and bit the cap of his pen, hastily recording Lin Lan’s data with a swift “swish, swish.”
Suddenly, he felt something was amiss. He flipped through the recent records and realized that the previous support player had also played Draven and Vayne, with surprisingly similar stats.
Jiang Jin paused his writing, and his mind had a momentary breakdown.
A teammate patted his shoulder, asking, “What’s wrong? Why so excited?” Leaning over to check Jiang Jin’s computer, he coincidentally witnessed Lin Lan’s impeccable plays, exclaiming, “666, this AD is amazing. Wait a minute, why does the ID seem so familiar? Oh, damn, isn’t this the Thresh who played like a cheater?”
Lin Lan, DT丶Lan.
The Thresh who played like a cheater has now turned into an exceptional Vayne player. Could it be that this cheater was none other than Lin Lan himself?
On the big screen, four opponents surrounded the bottom lane, leaving Lin Lan no room to breathe. Retreating while signaling for help from Xiao Shengjing, he sent out a barrage of marks on nearby enemies. At this critical moment, his lightning-fast hand speed once again came into play. Numerous marks popped up on the screen in rapid succession, overwhelming the system, and startling Xiao Shengjing, who thought Lin Lan was on the verge of death. However, to their surprise, Lin Lan wasn’t in mortal danger.
Xiao Shengjing, who had left the buff halfway through, was puzzled: ?
Lin Lan chuckled happily, “Captain, you came just in time. You saved me a Flash.”
Xiao Shengjing: ??
How could he have such a terrible teammate?
The barrage burst into laughter: [Hahaha, this is too extreme…]
[Discussing the importance of hand speed, saving Flash at a critical moment.]
[Help, so funny! You only lost a buff, but I saved a Flash, hahaha…]
Even the commentators couldn’t help but remark on Lin Lan’s actions: “Too naughty, at least let the jungler finish the buff.”
Leaving the buff unfinished could be quite frustrating for the jungler.
His fellow teammate, Xiao Hai, couldn’t stand by and went to help Xiao Shengjing by dealing a few hits. However, in the short time he left, Lin Lan found himself in trouble.
Originally recalling under the tower, Lin Lan suddenly canceled his recall, heading towards the Dragon pit. He even activated his ultimate while still in the brush.
The commentators couldn’t help but hold their breath: “What does Vayne want to do?”
What does Vayne want to do?
Bored during his recall, Lin Lan glanced at the data panel and noticed that the enemy mid-laner was missing a control ward after returning to the mid-lane.
Where could this ward be placed? The river crab had already been taken by his own jungler, so why would the mid-laner place a ward there?
In a flash, Lin Lan suddenly realized something. Using the invisibility effect of his ultimate, he gained a brief moment of vision, stealthily approaching to take a look.
As expected, the opponents were secretly taking down the Dragon.
The control ward not only provides vision but can also detect nearby invisible wards. Since his support’s Sweeping Lens was still on cooldown, the mid-laner placed a control ward to scan for invisible wards. Afterward, he returned to the mid-lane disguised as usual, aiming to create an illusion for Lin Lan’s team: they were not taking the Dragon.
After the skirmish between the two teams, both sides were left at half health. Normally, they would recall.
However, LPL teams were known for their unconventional thinking, enjoying surprising their opponents. Lin Lan, at the first sight of the control ward, immediately sensed their deceptive strategy: the opponents were singing the “Empty City” tactic!
Lin Lan immediately activated his ultimate, lurking in the darkness, and indeed caught them in the act of taking the Dragon.
“Hey, Captain, they’re taking the Dragon.”
Xiao Shengjing checked the map and was shocked to see three opponents at the Dragon Pit. Lin Lan, undeterred, rolled over for a sneak peek.
Wasn’t this too audacious?
Xiao Shengjing immediately ordered Lin Lan, “Come back! Wait for me.”
But Lin Lan couldn’t wait. His ultimate was about to expire, and he loved these narrow terrains full of walls…
Seeing him not obeying orders and going over again, Xiao Shengjing wanted to scold him. Didn’t he say to wait for him?
This was a match with live broadcasting, and any mistake leading to elimination would result in being heavily criticized, regardless of how well they played before.
Xiao Shengjing had no choice but to once again abandon the buff that was only halfway done, bringing Xiao Hai to save Lin Lan’s precarious situation.
At this moment, Lin Lan was already on a killing spree, and the narrow terrain in front of him, three enemies at low health dared to move recklessly in his presence…
Vayne’s hunter instincts were fully triggered, his eyes instantly turning crimson. “[Let’s hunt down those trapped in the darkness!]”
He stealthily rolled over, two shots took down the AD carry, and activating his ultimate extended the duration by another 4 seconds. Lin Lan stealth again, continuing the skirmish.
The Flash that was saved earlier came in handy. Using E-Flash, he pinned the jungler to the wall, landing three hits to secure the kill.
Double Kill!
One more enemy, the support, Lin Lan didn’t rush to attack. Instead, he dodged the opponent’s lethal skill with a well-timed invisibility, then rolled over to stick and strike “swish swish.”
With an exceptionally high attack frequency, he dealt the maximum damage in the shortest time. The passive of the third hit made the full tank Titan desperately lose health, and when he wanted to retreat, it was already too late…
Xiao Hai arrived and shielded Lin Lan, giving him the ability to trade blows. With three swift hits, Lin Lan decisively eliminated the enemy support.
Triple Kill!
Killing three in a row, Lin Lan’s ultimate duration had not even ended!
He blended into the darkness, the blood on his bow/crossbow still fresh, emitting a deep, “hehehe” laughter. Who would be the next prey?
Xiao Shengjing, who arrived, was stunned, and so was the buff that had encountered an unexpected fate. It seemed so redundant.
Lin Lan didn’t need him to interfere at all.
If he dared to go, it meant he had already figured out how to play.
Xiao Shengjing didn’t contribute much, feeling unexpectedly disappointed. He admired the radiant side of Lin Lan, but too much brilliance made it impossible for him to face…
After Lin Lan killed three people and returned alive, he thought Xiao Shengjing would praise him. However, after waiting for a while, he didn’t hear any words of commendation.
It seemed like Xiao Shengjing had resumed his aloof demeanor, isolating everything.
Lin Lan found his reaction strange, maneuvering his hero to Xiao Shengjing’s side. Seeing that his red buff had only a sliver of health left, the hunter’s instincts were once again triggered. He rolled over and snatched it away from Xiao Shengjing.
Xiao Shengjing: ???
Even through the screen, Lin Lan could feel his defenses being breached.
Lin Lan didn’t expect to accidentally take it like this. “Captain! I didn’t do it on purpose!”
Although it looked intentional… it was definitely an accident!!!
The audience, just recovering from Lin Lan’s scalp-numbing plays, burst into laughter again at his recent actions: [Hahaha, what the heck?]
[Is he seeing red? My goodness, too smooth.]
[Vayne: Huh? Low health? I’ll kill!]
[Hahaha, dying of laughter here. Vayne with a quadra kill this time.]
[Wait, no, it’s a penta kill. Even their jungler is about to be infuriated.]
That jungler must be fuming. The first few red buffs are as crucial as eyeballs; no matter how well the AD plays, they won’t give them away.
And the captain’s buff…
No one on the entire team dares to contest it…
How could Lin Lan dare?
The onlooker Xiao Hai kept silent, observing Lin Lan’s expression at times, and then glancing at the captain’s expression. Well, it seemed fine?
Just when the advantage was overwhelming in the bottom lane, Wu Tianqi was caught and killed again by the enemy jungler, and the defense tower plating was completely consumed.
This game was already challenging for him, and with Xiao Shengjing constantly residing in the bottom lane, he would be killed no matter how sneaky he tried to be.
He wanted to get angry, to vent, but the thought of Xiao Shengjing holding his equity shares in his hands made him hold back, the anger causing pain in his chest.
At this moment, Feifei was still reprimanding him, “Tianqi, you can’t die anymore.”
With two deaths and five layers of defense tower plating lost, he practically fed the enemy…
Wu Tianqi was holding back the urge to explode, truly wanting to vent his frustration. However, considering Xiao Shengjing’s control over his shares, he could only endure and endure again.
After respawning, before he even reached the lane, he was caught by the enemy jungler, and with the assistance of the top laner, he was swiftly taken down.
The commentators couldn’t help but comment at this point: “So miserable, so miserable, the bottom lane is flourishing, but the top lane is in prison! The Weapon Master has already pushed to the high ground. Who will deal with him? We can’t let him push further…”
Feifei initially intended to restrain him, but he lacked sportsmanship. The Weapon Master jumped up, unleashed a combo, forced Wu Tianqi to use his Flash, and continued to pound the tower.
Xiao Shengjing’s hero couldn’t do anything to him. Even farming minions left him severely injured. Meanwhile, Wu Tianqi, the only one capable of going even with the Weapon Master, was still soaking in the fountain…
The enemy’s top laner was indeed formidable!
A moment of negligence, and he developed into a powerhouse.
In the team’s lounge, Coach Zhang was distressed, and Lin Lan went upstairs with Xiao Hai.
The commentator exclaimed, “Vayne can’t go! The ultimate cooldown hasn’t ended yet; she might be taken down by the Weapon Master in one combo!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Weapon Master had already flashed and jumped in, landing a hit that took a quarter of Lin Lan’s health!
This version was indeed the top lane version!
Lin Lan’s exceptional play seemed useless!
The barrage was filled with curses, blaming Wu Tianqi as a foolish player for fattening up the opponent so much! While sympathizing with Lin Lan, who worked hard throughout the entire game, it seemed like he was back to square one in a single moment!
However, Lin Lan, in close quarters, remained calm.
Beside him, Xiao Hai held his skills tightly, looking highly focused.
Lin Lan’s words echoed in Xiao Hai’s mind: “Xiao Hai, I need your help. I need at least eight basic attacks to take him down. The Weapon Master’s damage can take me out in four hits at most. He’ll surely flash and jump at me; avoiding this is impossible.”
Sure enough, the Weapon Master on the opposing side flashed and jumped straight at Lin Lan, delivering a heavy blow.
Lin Lan’s voice continued to resonate in Xiao Hai’s mind: “You need to prepare your W1(Lulu)Whimsy: On Ally Cast: Target ally gains 25 (+5% bonus Ability Power)% Movement Speed and 25/27.5/30/32.5/35% Attack Speed for 3/3.25/3.5/3.75/4 seconds.
On Enemy Cast: Polymorphs an enemy champion for 1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8/2 seconds, disabling their ability to attack or cast spells and reducing their base Movement Speed by 60. skill in advance. Transform him in the moment he jumps over, interrupting his second basic attack!”
Interrupt the basic attack? Xiao Hai couldn’t even imagine such an operation; he doubted himself, “Can I do it?”
“Of course, you can.” Lin Lan responded, “Aren’t you here to protect me? This moment is crucial.”
Protecting the AD is the support’s duty, a mission that cannot be taken lightly.
Xiao Hai tightened his mouse, transforming the Weapon Master in place at the last moment, interrupting his second basic attack!
Lin Lan rolled and landed; in the short 2-second control time, he delivered a total of three basic attacks.
As the Weapon Master’s transformation ended, he lifted his club to strike Lin Lan. However, Lin Lan lifted his hand, using the E2(Vayne)Condemn: Fires a bolt that knocks back a target and deals 50/85/120/155/190 (+50% bonus Attack Damage) physical damage.
If the target collides with terrain, the damage is increased to 50% bonus Attack Damage and the target is stunned for 1.5 seconds. skill to push him away, once again interrupting a basic attack.
In this process, Lin Lan connected two more basic attacks.
Just three more to go!
The Weapon Master’s health was already unhealthy, but he hesitated to give up on such a big piece of meat as Lin Lan. Initiating the counter-attack storm, he jumped back to strike Lin Lan.
This attack was unavoidable, and the counter-attack storm came with a built-in stun. Lin Lan was instantly struck twice, and his health was critical!
At this moment, Xiao Hai recalled Lin Lan’s voice again: “If I get stunned, I will 100% die. Xiao Hai, you need to use your ultimate to block the last stun for me.”
Xiao Hai didn’t play in many matches, with relatively low training volume. His palms were sweating, but he managed to use his ultimate to shield Lin Lan from the last stun of the counter-attack storm.
The Weapon Master was instantly bounced up, unable to hit Lin Lan. At this point, Lin Lan landed two more basic attacks.
The Weapon Master’s health hit rock bottom! Just one more hit from Lin Lan, and he would die!
Lin Lan, too, was low on health. Now, it all boiled down to whose hand speed was faster—whoever was quicker would win!
However, at this moment, Lin Lan had just landed one basic attack and couldn’t cancel the follow-up motion. The Weapon Master’s strike was inevitable!
As the strike was about to land, a green light and Lulu’s shield simultaneously lit up around Lin Lan, perfectly offsetting the incoming attack.
Lin Lan didn’t die; he retaliated with a basic attack, taking down the Weapon Master.
The Weapon Master, who moments ago had a fierce approach, now lay at Lin Lan’s feet in the next second. This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard.
[Didn’t he just knock Vayne down???]
[What’s going on? Where did it go wrong???]
[This shouldn’t be happening, right???]
At this moment, Xiao Hai’s heart was pounding. Lin Lan had just mentioned in the last sentence that if the Weapon Master’s hand speed was fast enough, he could definitely land the fourth hit. Lin Lan’s healing combined with Lulu’s shield could precisely block this hit. So, Xiao Hai had to use his skill at the last moment to avoid ineffective damage.
The mighty Weapon Master was thus terminated by Lin Lan. His development hit a snag, while Lin Lan soared ahead smoothly. With Lulu’s protection, the Weapon Master couldn’t cut through him.
The Night Hunt officially began!
With Lin Lan’s ultimate activated, he melded into the darkness. No one could guess his position. His eyes glowed red as he mercilessly hunted down his prey.
Ah, this is no support at all! This is definitely a high-tier AD player! They’ve all been deceived!
When everyone realized this, Lin Lan took control of the game once again. Regardless of the opponents’ struggles, it inevitably led to failure. With the crystal explosion, the score was equalized, and Lin Lan stood victorious in his place!
[Ah, this sub… No, this support!!! No, this AD!!! I need to praise him to the skies!]
