The backstage murderer must meet two conditions:
1. He was present when the original host traveled through time by himself.
2. There is a connection between him and Wu Ming.
The first person Lin Lan thought of was Xie Zilu. He is the only one among those who bullied the original host who satisfies these two conditions. Moreover, his attitude towards himself is quite strange. During their first meeting, he spoke harshly. After discovering his amnesia, he immediately shifted to a conciliatory policy, treating him and the original host in a completely different manner. This is very peculiar.
Even if he is not the real culprit, he is definitely involved.
In Lin Lan’s mind, the whole sequence of events quickly took shape.
After being forced, the original host sought help from another version of himself from a different world. Although he won the competition, he also offended Xie Zilu without reservation.
Harboring resentment, Xie Zilu began to retaliate against the original host.
However, during the process of retaliation, he also realized the significant gap between the original host and himself, attributing it to a personality split. In order to bring out the other personality for revenge, he teamed up with Wu Ming, constructing a complete therapeutic system for the original host and creating a case of yin and yang. On the surface, it seemed like helping him treat anxiety disorder, but in reality, it was about stripping away his personality.
The original host must have known something, so despite outwardly cooperating with the treatment, he didn’t take those medications.
It wasn’t until the end, when Xie Zilu’s patience ran out, that he concluded the original host was playing both sides to deceive him. Thus, after forcing the original host to death, he thought everything would be fine. However, he didn’t anticipate the return of the person who truly offended him back then.
Therefore, he changed his attitude and set up traps anew.
From beginning to end, the person he truly wanted to retaliate against was himself, and the original host was just a sacrificial pawn in this process.
The more Lin Lan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and his head began to ache.
If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn’t have cursed Xie Zilu back then.
However, there’s still something strange. Why is it that when the original host called for him, it was always during the competition, but he never called out when he was being bullied?
Could it be that the competition was more important to him than getting beaten? Or did he think that even if he came over, he would still get beaten, so he decided to tough it out on his own?
The more Lin Lan thought, the more his head hurt. He vigorously massaged his temples.
Feifei patted his shoulder, “Are you feeling motion sick? You don’t look very comfortable. I have motion sickness pills; would you like to take one?”
“I’m not sick, thanks,” he declined.
After rejecting Feifei, Lu Shi approached, “Why do you always sit at the back like this? Sit with us at the front; it’s less dizzy up there.”
Lin Lan didn’t move, “I don’t get motion sick.” Then he suddenly remembered something, “Hey, Jiang Jin, aren’t you prone to motion sickness? You…”
By the time he remembered, Jiang Jin had already hidden in a corner, curled up, and covered himself with a coat, like a little turtle hiding in its shell.
“Oh my, Xiao Jin, you get motion sick? Why didn’t you say earlier?” Lu Shi quickly helped him up, handing him motion sickness pills and water.
At first, Jiang Jin hesitated, saying, “No, no,” but after drinking it, he felt much better. He adjusted his glasses, spoke politely, and didn’t dare to make eye contact with strangers too much, “Thank you.”
“We’ll be there in about ten minutes; hang in there.”
“It’s okay, I’m used to it. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“That won’t do,” Lu Shi suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of justice, grabbing his shoulder, “You take my seat; you won’t get motion sickness there.”
Jiang Jin looked up and saw that Lu Shi’s seat was surrounded by people, all unfamiliar to him, and his resistance was evident from the tip of his toes.
“No, no, it’s not necessary…” Jiang Jin, who feared social situations the most, hated troubling others and disliked crowded places.
“Don’t be polite. If you’re Lin Lan’s brother, you’re my brother too. As brothers, I have to take care of you for him. Don’t be shy; just sit in my seat…”
“No, no, no…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed over, and forced to sit down. As he felt the gazes around him, he clenched the palms of his hands, looking for help from Lin Lan.
But all Lin Lan did from behind was smile, showing no intention of helping him at all. Jiang Jin could only force himself to sit there.
Oh God, every moment feels so difficult.
Strangely, with all this tension, he found that he wasn’t motion sick anymore.
The bus came to a gradual stop. “We’ve arrived at the arena.”
Today was the first day of the Spring Season competition, and since it happened to be the weekend, a total of three matches were organized. DT was fortunate enough to be scheduled for the second match.
Following the usual practice, the first match was the opening battle, typically assigned to two more established teams to set a stable tone.
The third match belonged to the prime weekend slot, usually reserved for the two teams with the highest viewership to boost the popularity of the competition.
The second match sandwiched in between was somewhat awkward. It couldn’t compete with the fanbase buildup of the first match nor match the popularity of the teams in the third match. It found itself caught between two flows of attention. It was evident how awkward this situation could be. Therefore, when organizing the teams, the event organizers intentionally chose two relatively new teams: DT and ZBG.
This would inevitably create an even more awkward situation: with no established fanbase of their own, the viewers were mostly fans of other teams. If they played well, it was fine, but if not, they would have to endure ridicule lying flat.
Lin Lan could foresee this, and it seemed Jiang Jin had as well. He couldn’t help but remind his teammates, “Regardless of winning or losing, try to control your emotions as much as possible. Otherwise, it might become a dark chapter in our history.”
Jiang Jin had suffered greatly from such situations. In his first game as a newcomer, he thought the team had the victory secured, and he laughed happily, only for the AD to die midway, leading to the opponent equalizing and pushing the game to a draw.
Jiang Jin sighed, “I became a meme at that moment, and it’s still circulating on various platforms.”
Lu Shi, realizing he was using that meme, suddenly coughed and discreetly took out his phone to swiftly delete the meme.
Curious, Lin Lan asked, “What meme is that?”
How come he hadn’t seen it in either world?
Lu Shi signaled him with his eyes not to ask further, as it might affect team harmony, but Lin Lan still looked curious.
Soon after, Lin Lan’s phone vibrated. When he looked down, he saw that Jiang Jin had sent him that meme, with a special reminder: Only for your eyes, don’t show others.
The meme contrasted Jiang Jin before and after losing a match. The first scene was labeled “I’m smiling,” and the second was labeled “I’m pretending.” Jiang Jin, as a newcomer, had a somewhat innocent face, wearing glasses, and looking honest and obedient. It was clear he was a rookie, and Lin Lan found it quite cute, so he burst into laughter.
Jiang Jin, who was watching him, became even more nervous, hurriedly sending him a message: Don’t laugh at me. I only meant to show you.
Seeing him so anxious, Lin Lan assured him that he wouldn’t show it to anyone else. But why could Jiang Jin be so talkative online, yet become so nervous with just a glance in real life?
The team leader led them through the procedures, and they returned to the rest area to take a break.
On the large screen, the opening ceremony of the Spring Season competition was playing. The first match was between YTF and JIO, both well-known veteran teams in the LPL. Since their establishment, they have achieved remarkable results, qualifying for the World Championships every year. However, in recent years, the players’ performance had been lackluster, and they hadn’t made it to the World Championships for a solid two years.
Yet, their fan base remained strong and laid-back. Even if they didn’t qualify, their fans didn’t hold it against them and continued to support them.
As the match began, Lin Lan felt like he had stepped into a Taoist temple and a Buddhist temple when reading the barrage. It was all very rational and objective, discussing the game itself. Sometimes, there was even self-deprecating humor.
After three matches, JIO secured victory with a 2:1 score. The fans remained calm and composed, as if they were accustomed to storms and waves, displaying remarkable rationality and calmness.
The next match was DT’s turn. Perhaps influenced by the laid-back atmosphere of the previous match, everyone wasn’t too nervous.
However, when it was their turn, the barrage had already started to become discordant. A large number of viewers waiting for the next match began to express their dissatisfaction: [Why hasn’t it started yet? How long is this going to take? Hurry up and lose so we can start the next match.]
[What team is this? I haven’t even heard of them. A scrub team?]
[DT, the one that came up from the LDL? It’s over. Came too early, wasting my time.]
[Not watching an unknown team. I’m out, brothers. See you in two hours.]
[I’m leaving too, bye…]
The players on stage couldn’t see the barrage, but Lu Shi in the audience could.
After reading it, he felt quite nervous. It was his first time at the LPL, and he didn’t expect the barrage to be so intense.
Brothers, you must hold on.
Losing is not an option.
Both sides took their seats and began setting up their equipment.
Once Lin Lan sat down, he noticed something unusual in the barrage.
[Huh, DT’s AD got replaced?]
[Wow, this AD looks really handsome.]
[Seems like it, the ID has changed too. The previous AD was a support-turned-AD, called Lan. Now, I don’t know where this one came from, the ID is Kiner.]
[What a pity, I came for him. Why did they change players?]
[Won’t DT provide an explanation?]
[……]
After a noisy exchange in the barrage, someone checked DT’s official account and discovered that Kiner was actually Lin Lan. He just changed his hairstyle and ID; it was still the same person.
Fans who learned the truth excitedly returned to the livestream to share this discovery. Those who knew Lin Lan were clamoring in the barrage, unable to control their excitement.
However, this was still a small part of the audience. Most viewers were in a state of confusion: [Who is Lin Lan? Why is everyone spamming his name?]
[Is he that amazing? I’ve never heard of him.]
[But he looks pretty handsome. Probably not that skilled though.]
[Aren’t those who are going crazy just fans of his looks?]
[Oh, this Kiner guy, I heard he and Jiang Jin crushed the bot lane in training matches, quite impressive.]
[??? Is it true?]
DT’s opponent in this match was ZBG, a team that made its way from the LDL last year. Their individual player skills weren’t outstanding, but their teamwork was exceptionally coordinated. They had even caused losses to some strong LPL teams, gaining a modest fanbase.
Before the match started, Coach Zhang had already analyzed the opponents with the team. ZBG liked to pick team fight compositions, and they especially needed to be cautious about the timing when the composition came together.
The pick-and-ban phase began, with both sides being very cautious, going back and forth without giving in.
It seemed that the opponents were wary of Lin Lan’s bot lane combination and believed that if they could suppress Jiang Jin, they could control Lin Lan as well. DT, on the other hand, didn’t want to give ZBG a team control support, so a total of 10 champions were banned, with 8 of them being bot lane combinations.
The commentators sensed tension and quickly added fuel to the fire: “It’s clear they are targeting the bot lane. It seems the rumors are true.”
He was referring to the rumors leaked by a mysterious insider. According to him, DT’s bot lane combination dominated the entire LPL bot lane. The extravagant use of adjectives made many people think it was fake. Some were skeptical, and the rest believed that DT was just trying to hype themselves up.
As soon as the game started, ZBG aggressively targeted DT’s bot lane, making it hard for people not to think about the leaked information.
Could it be true? No, that’s impossible.
As both sides entered the lane, due to many champions being banned, Lin Lan chose the combination of Tristana + Lulu, while the opponents picked Ezreal + Karma.
Karma played aggressively as soon as she entered the lane, relentlessly pressuring them. On Lin Lan’s side, they played very passively, constantly retreating.
The director switched between two cameras without capturing any noteworthy moments. Just as they were about to move on, Lin Lan suddenly reached level 3, jumped in, and sent the opponents back to their base.
The commentators and the audience didn’t react in time. How did he suddenly jump in and send the opponents back to base?
The director wisely started a replay. In this surprise engagement, Karma tried to poke Lin Lan, but Jiang Jin’s shape-shifting ability prevented her from using any skills. Helplessly, she watched as her own Ezreal was worn down. When she finally had the chance to retaliate after Jiang Jin’s transformation ended, Lin Lan had already used Ezreal’s repositioning ability, turning around to bombard Karma. She was forced to retreat.
Keep in mind that LPL viewers are accustomed to high-level league play, having been exposed to various maneuvers. Some even understand the game better than the commentators. However, Lin Lan’s unexpected engagement left them momentarily stunned.
Firstly, why was his damage so high?
Next, why didn’t he get hit by the opponent’s skills?
The confusion from the first wave was quickly replaced by the second.
Lin Lan controlled Tristana, happily jumping into the lane. Upon meeting the opponents, he immediately engaged Ezreal with a combo, and after finishing, safely returned under Lulu’s protection.
The opponents were bewildered by the sudden engagement, and Ezreal, whom Lin Lan jumped on, only realized it when he had lost half of his health. The remaining minions were blocked by Lin Lan, forcing Ezreal to helplessly use his Q1(Ezreal)Mystic Shot: Ezreal fires a bolt of energy, dealing 20/45/70/95/120 (+130% Attack Damage) (+15% bonus Ability Power) physical damage (applies on-hit effects).
Ezreal’s cooldowns are reduced by 1.5 seconds if Mystic Shot hits a target. skill to last-hit from the back.
[Wow, Tristana deals so much damage.]
[Did you notice? Ezreal and Karma didn’t hit him with Q. He jumped in at full health, and after the engagement, he barely lost any health under Lulu’s protection.]
[Huh, is that true?]
The combination of Ezreal + Karma excels in harassment but lacks burst damage. In a scenario where no one has purchased the first item yet, Tristana’s damage is quite considerable. Coupled with Lulu’s support, her burst damage is also very high.
So, every time Lin Lan meets the opponents, he directly jumps in with the shield Lulu provided. Normal Ezreals would typically use Q2(Ezreal)Mystic Shot: Ezreal fires a bolt of energy, dealing 20/45/70/95/120 (+130% Attack Damage) (+15% bonus Ability Power) physical damage (applies on-hit effects).
Ezreal’s cooldowns are reduced by 1.5 seconds if Mystic Shot hits a target. and W3(Ezreal)Essence Flux: Ezreal fires an orb that sticks to the first champion or objective hit for 4 seconds.
Hitting the orb with an ability or attack detonates it dealing 80/135/190/245/300 (+60% bonus Attack Damage) (+70/75/80/85/90% bonus Ability Power) magic damage. Detonating with an ability refunds the cost of that ability +60 mana. for a damage combo, retreating with their repositioning skill if they can’t win the trade. However, Lin Lan comes in with a shield, so the first wave of damage is absorbed by the shield. Additionally, Karma is unable to shield immediately due to Jiang Jin’s Lulu transformation, allowing Lin Lan to freely output damage onto the opposing Ezreal.
By the time Ezreal reacts and uses his repositioning skill to escape, Lin Lan has already maximized his output with his rapid 600 APM hand speed and is satisfied.
At this point, Ezreal’s distance is too far to deal damage to Lin Lan, who only needs to dodge Karma’s R4(Karma)Mantra: Karma empowers her next ability within 8 seconds for an additional effect.
Soulflare: Deals bonus damage and leaves behind a circle of flame, slowing enemies and dealing additional damage.
Renewal: Karma heals for a portion of her missing health. If the link is unbroken the root is longer and Karma is healed again.
Defiance: The shield is stronger and allied champions around the target also gain a shield and movement speed.-Q5(Karma)Inner Flame: Fires a blast of energy that explodes upon enemy contact, dealing 70/120/170/220/270 (+50% bonus Ability Power) magic damage and slowing Movement Speed by 32% for 1.5 seconds.
Mantra Bonus – Soulflare: Deals 40/100/160/220 (+30% bonus Ability Power) additional magic damage and leaves a circle of flame that slows enemies by 50%. After 1.5 seconds the circle erupts, dealing 35/140/245/350 (+50% bonus Ability Power) magic damage to enemies in the area. to achieve damage-free trading.
Lin Lan isn’t greedy; he plays smart, knowing his output limits. After dealing damage, he immediately disengages, not lingering.
Once his abilities are ready again, he goes in for another round of trades.
This style of play makes the opponents uncomfortable, facing a difficult choice: to farm minions and endure harassment or not farm at all.
Farming minions means enduring Lin Lan’s harassment. Once they run out of health pots, they have to recall, risking turret plating loss, leading to an endless cycle of nightmares.
On the other hand, if they avoid farming minions, what kind of AD carry are they?
Ezreal hesitates, using Q6(Ezreal)Mystic Shot: Ezreal fires a bolt of energy, dealing 20/45/70/95/120 (+130% Attack Damage) (+15% bonus Ability Power) physical damage (applies on-hit effects).
Ezreal’s cooldowns are reduced by 1.5 seconds if Mystic Shot hits a target. to last-hit minions from a distance. With a slight misstep, Lin Lan immediately seizes the opportunity to engage.
Lin Lan jumped in and scared off Ezreal, but the unfortunate Karma left behind suffered the consequences. Lin Lan and Jiang Jin swiftly took her down with a combo of skills. The remaining Ezreal couldn’t defend the turret, helplessly watching as Lin Lan and Jiang Jin chipped away at turret plates, layer after layer. When the bot lane turret fell, their teammates in other lanes just began touching the first layer of turret plates.
Teammates were shocked.
How did they lose the turret before even starting to farm?
At this point, a significant number of viewers were starting to believe the leaker’s information. Lin Lan and Jiang Jin’s combination was indeed fierce.
Moreover, their fierceness was unbeatable. For example, in the first wave, even before reaching level 3, they had already controlled Karma’s positioning, preventing her from assisting Ezreal.
Their harassments were premeditated.
In every subsequent wave, they displayed strategic thinking. Whenever the opposing jungler was waiting, they froze the lane. As soon as the jungler left, they immediately engaged. The constant torment left the jungler in misery, forced to give up on the bot lane. Consequently, the bot lane became a straightforward target for kills and turret takes.
This is an extremely unbeatable strategy, and only Lin Lan and Jiang Jin can pull it off.
Lin Lan’s fast reflexes, Jiang Jin’s calculations, and the two’s ultra-detailed coordination are impossible to replicate or crack. Even if other bot lanes from different teams attempt it, they probably can only play a passive role.
These are two clever individuals playing the bot lane!
The casters on stage, initially calm, were ignited by this match, and they couldn’t help but praise Lin Lan and Jiang Jin: “Wow, they set the stage on fire from the beginning. Viewers who don’t watch LDL might not recognize Kiner. Initially, he debuted as a support but later switched to AD unexpectedly and played very well. I still remember in that match, Kiner, in his AD role, got two MVPs. Previously, he got MVPs when playing support. So, this whole thing is truly magical…”
Many had heard similar stories before, but most believed them to be exaggerated by marketing. Now, with the official stamp on it, they had no choice but to believe.
A significant number of skeptical viewers were slapped in the face by the official confirmation:
[Oh my, it’s true???]
[What kind of genius AD was delayed by playing support?]
[Ah ah ah, why play support, young man? You should play AD! You were born to play AD! You should play AD for your whole life!]
[If you play support, mom will be heartbroken.]
[Play AD for me!!! Play it fiercely!]
[Oh my, this is so surreal.]
[…]
On the stage, Lin Lan was instantly covered in countless layers of a mysterious aura. He was unaware that all eyes were on him. In an orderly manner, he went to the mid-lane, killing enemies when they came and pushing towers when they didn’t. With his and Jiang Jin’s efforts, all the first-tier towers in the three lanes were quickly taken down. Things were progressing smoothly up to this point, but everyone overlooked a crucial point – this was a top-lane version.
A Gangplank, farmed for 20 minutes, approached, using the brush for vision and delivering a double barrel combo to Lin Lan, instantly exploding a significant portion of his health and slowing him down.
As Lin Lan struggled to move forward, a burst of laughter echoed, and countless projectiles rained down from the sky, hitting Lin Lan squarely on the forehead. The wide-area damage and slow, coupled with the Gangplank lurking behind, made Lin Lan look like he was in a dire situation.
Tristana, it’s dangerous!
At this critical moment, Lin Lan didn’t retreat. Instead, he unexpectedly jumped right into the fray, leaving the commentators in shock: “Why did Tristana jump in?”
After landing, Lin Lan took a shot from Gangplank, but he had activated Lulu’s ultimate, so the damage was negligible. Instead, he sent Gangplank flying into the air.
In the brief control time, Lin Lan maximized his damage output, but Gangplank ate an orange and nearly healed back to full health.
How to play this now?
In the top lane version, there’s no reasoning!
Lin Lan’s health was hanging by a thread, and there was a bounty on him. Seeing this, Gangplank’s eyes turned red, and without a second thought, he chased after Lin Lan. Gangplank dropped two barrels, about to explode and kill Lin Lan. However, Jiang Jin suddenly lifted his hand, turning Gangplank into a sheep. Both of them attacked, destroying Gangplank’s barrels and reducing his health.
Without barrels, Gangplank was like a toothless wolf, forced to lurk and wait for the next opportunity. Lin Lan’s two rounds of output only brought him down to half health. Naturally, Gangplank didn’t take him seriously and continued to chase. Lin Lan kept retreating and attacking, relying on Lulu’s shield and slow to barely keep himself alive. However, each encounter felt thrilling and precarious, with the constant fear of a potential misstep.
The Gangplank was thinking the same way. He caught up with Lin Lan, landing another shot. Just two more basic attacks, and he could finish off Lin Lan. The Gangplank couldn’t possibly let this opportunity slip.
After eating an orange to continue the chase, Lulu suddenly ignited him. The grievous wounds from Ignite prevented him from regaining much health, and he continued to take damage.
At this point, Gangplank’s health was already precarious.
But he still believed that Lin Lan couldn’t kill him and prepared to drop two barrels to finish him off.
Just as he was about to raise his hand, the previous situation repeated itself. Jiang Jin gave him another polymorph, and with perfect coordination, they quickly destroyed his two barrels, initiating a new round of trades.
Gangplank had no Flash, and killing Lin Lan was now impossible. He could only reluctantly give up.
But while he gave up, Lin Lan didn’t. Astonishingly, he jumped directly onto the nearly-dead Gangplank in a face-to-face confrontation.
The commentator exclaimed, “Oh my god! Why would they play it like this!”
With just a single Q7(Gangplank)Parrrley: Fires a bullet that deals 10/40/70/100/130 (+100% Attack Damage) physical damage (can crit and applies on-hit effects).
If Parrrley kills the target, Gangplank plunders 3/4/5/6/7 bonus Gold and 4/5/6/7/8 Silver Serpents. (Trade Silver Serpents at the shop to upgrade Cannon Barrage)., Gangplank could take down Lin Lan. Jumping in like this seemed like inviting death.
Seeing the fat target right in front of him, Gangplank thought it would be effortless to take down Lin Lan. He was about to raise his hand for the killing shot when suddenly, Lin Lan received a burst of healing, narrowly escaping death by Gangplank’s Q8(Gangplank)Parrrley: Fires a bullet that deals 10/40/70/100/130 (+100% Attack Damage) physical damage (can crit and applies on-hit effects).
If Parrrley kills the target, Gangplank plunders 3/4/5/6/7 bonus Gold and 4/5/6/7/8 Silver Serpents. (Trade Silver Serpents at the shop to upgrade Cannon Barrage)..
Gangplank was a bit bewildered. What? Does he have healing in reserve? Then why had he been holding onto it and not using it all this time?
As Lin Lan landed, he swiftly dealt two hits, leaving Gangplank severely wounded.
At this moment, Gangplank still had one barrel left. He placed it beneath Lin Lan’s feet, intending to blast him to death. However, Lin Lan suddenly flashed behind him, landed two basic attacks, followed by his ultimate, and sent Gangplank back to the fountain.
Little Cannon actually had Flash!
Gangplank felt like he was about to spit blood.
He had healing, he had Flash, and he even had his ultimate. Yet, in so many close calls, he kept holding onto them, relying entirely on Lulu to keep him alive! Who dares to play a game like this???
Gangplank didn’t get Lin Lan’s bounty; instead, Lin Lan collected his bounty. Watching Lin Lan happily return to base to buy items, Gangplank was infuriated to the point of heartache.
He felt that Lin Lan had insulted him, even suspecting that Lin Lan had intentionally come for him, deliberately taking a full combo of his skills. He knew his Flash and Ignite were gone, so Lin Lan dared to be so arrogant!
Lin Lan did indeed know about it; it was Xiao Shengjing who had informed him. But he also understood that this alone was not enough to kill Gangplank. He had to lure him to a position where he could secure the kill and claim the bounty.
At this moment, Jiang Jin’s cooperation became crucial.
The casters on the stage were already so astonished that they couldn’t find words to describe it, just repeatedly exclaiming, “Omg, this coordination is simply invincible!”
The audience in the live chat had also gone wild, shouting frantically: [Ah! I love this bot lane duo!]
[The coordination is perfect, truly amazing.]
[Oh no, I was so moved. I even wanted Jiang Jin to sell him and go on his own, but Jiang Jin didn’t sell him and saved Lin Lan…]
[And Lin Lan trusts Jiang Jin so much. Even with a gun pointed at his head, he doesn’t run away; he’s betting on Jiang Jin to save him.]
[They trust each other so much…]
On the live chat, there was a portion of fans who were originally fans of Jiang Jin. They couldn’t understand Jiang Jin’s decision to abandon his old team and join a seemingly insignificant one. Now, they understood because DT had Lin Lan!!!
With the acquired bounty, Lin Lan happily revealed his third item. Without the bounty from Gangplank, he would have needed at least an additional 5 minutes for his development. At this point, his equipment was a whole item ahead of the enemy AD carry. Gangplank’s development was stunted, and this kind of deficit was irreparable.
Lin Lan, accompanied by his teammates, continually chipped away at the economy, securing three consecutive elemental dragons. Moreover, with the changes introduced in the Spring Split, the concept of Dragon Souls was added. Collecting four elemental dragons granted a permanent Dragon Soul buff.
Having experienced this version, Lin Lan knew how crucial Dragon Souls were. When Dragon Souls were first introduced, teams obtaining them had almost a 100% win rate. The Dragon Soul in this game was an Earth Dragon Soul, providing significant tower-pushing bonuses, ideal for champions like Tristana.
It was apparent that ZBG on the other side had not realized the importance of this. Their top laner and mid-laner were still busy clearing waves, only realizing something was amiss when Lin Lan’s team took the Dragon Soul and pushed onto the enemy base.
I can’t believe it, three shots for one turret???
Is this even scientifically possible?
Tristana’s turret-taking ability was already formidable, and now with the added bonus from the Earth Dragon Soul and Lulu’s buffs, she directly took down a turret in three shots.
The speed of this turret push caught ZBG off guard. They hurriedly signaled their teammates to defend, but it was already too late.
Their Gangplank was entangled by Xiao Shengjing and couldn’t make it back home!
Meanwhile, their mid laner couldn’t kill Lin Lan protected by Lulu. ZBG’s AD carry, instead of dealing damage, found themselves on the brink of death due to Lin Lan’s assault!
Tristana relentlessly bombarded the turret, paying no attention to the enemies, solely focusing on pushing the turret. The insane output of three shots per turret swiftly removes two inhibitor turrets.
Witnessing this scene, the adrenaline surged in everyone. Could Tristana actually push all the way?
Everyone from ZBG was seeing red. They rushed out from their fountain, charging towards Tristana frantically. If they didn’t stop her now, the crystal would be gone!
Lin Lan calmly raised his hand and unleashed a powerful ultimate, sending the three ZBG members back into their fountain. The trio could only soak in the fountain, watching with red eyes as Lin Lan gradually took down the crystal.
Game victory, victory!
With just a momentary lapse, Lin Lan pushed their base to victory??
ZBG fell into complete silence.
