With thousands of spectators watching at the scene, Lin Yan led his teammates onto the stage of the Tournament of Champions.
The lights in front of the stage were so bright that it made Lin Yan unable to open his eyes. Looking out of the corner of his eye towards the auditorium, he saw countless people's heads shaking. At this moment, he felt his adrenaline surge.
"Is this what it feels like to compete on stage? It seems more exciting than I imagined..." He sighed quietly in his heart.
At this time, a weak voice from the side sounded: "Master... there are so many people looking at us, I'm so nervous..."
It was Jingzhe who spoke, her beautiful face glowing with a peach blossom color.
Lin Yan stretched out his hand, patted her shoulder lightly, and whispered: "Didn't you appear on the stage during the school trials before? You should be the calmest among the five of us."
"There were only a few hundred people in the audience that time, and today's audience is ten times that..." Jingzhe muttered softly.
Lin Yan comforted with a smile; "Then think about our previous live broadcasts. Each live broadcast had a larger number of viewers. It's just that the viewers in the live broadcast room watched through mobile phones, and today's audience watched live. That's all.
"
After hearing this, Jingzhe finally calmed down a little, took a long breath, and the blush on his face faded a little.
And just after Lin Yan comforted Jingzhe, Guo Hao suddenly came over without knowing anything and said with a pinched voice: "Master, the Lun family is also very nervous. Why don't you also comfort the Lun family..."
Lin Yan glared at him with disgust and said solemnly: "Don't force me to beat you in front of the audience..."
Guo Hao smiled mischievously, pointed at the orchid, "I know you are reluctant to beat up the Lun family."
While the Revenge team was chatting and laughing, the Nancheng No. 4 Middle School team on the opposite side also walked onto the stage.
The leader, Jiang Haoyu, looked arrogant. After walking to the stage, he waved to the audience in an artificial way. Then he turned to Lin Yan's direction and made a provocative gesture.
"Lin Yan, you're going to lose!" He warned Lin Yan with his mouth, which was also a threat.
Lin Yan did not react to him, but turned a blind eye and went to his seat to adjust his mobile phone.
After a brief preparation, the referee on the scene loudly asked: "Okay, Team Revenge, Team Nancheng No. 4 Middle School, are you ready?"
Lin Yan immediately nodded and said, "Ready."
Jiang Haoyu also responded: "Ready."
The referee nodded and then said: "Now that both sides are ready, our duel will officially begin. Remember, this duel is a single-game decider, so both teams must treat it with caution!"
As soon as the words fell, the Revenge team and the Nancheng No. 4 Middle School team officially entered the recruitment mode.
The game footage was also broadcast live on the big screen in front of the stage.
After entering the room, the distribution of the red and blue camps is revealed.
This time the Revenge team was randomly assigned to the red camp, which is also recognized as a disadvantaged camp.
"Tsk, it's really unlucky that we are on the red side..." Chen Siyu couldn't help complaining.
Lin Yan was very calm and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether they are red or blue when fighting Jiang Haoyu. Their strength is not enough for us to consider these details."
Chen Siyu thought about it, nodded with a smile and said, "That's right."
Next comes the banning session. The rule is that the No. 4 team led by Jiang Haoyu takes the lead in banning, and both sides take turns banning, each banning 3 people.
After careful consideration, Jiang Haoyu banned Meng Tian, Gongsun Li and Han Xin.
Obviously, they had conducted a detailed investigation on the Revenge team. They banned Meng Tian because Lin Yan was the strongest Meng Tian in the national server. They banned Gongsun Li because An Yuwei was the number one Gongsun Li in the city. They banned Han Xin because
When Lin Yan was competing against the five major anchors, he turned the audience around with a Han Xin show.
Lin Yan's bans were all aimed at auxiliary heroes, and their three bans were given to Donghuang Taiyi, Da Qiao and Master Lu Ban.
The banning phase ended soon, and next came the selection phase.
The Nancheng No. 4 Middle School team took the lead in selecting players, and the first player they selected was jungle hero Pei Qinhu.
"Pei Qinhu..." After seeing the choice of the No. 4 team, An Yuwei said with a smile, "It seems they are preparing to seize the early rhythm."
Lin Yan nodded slightly: "It seems so."
Next, the Revenge team selected players. Chen Siyu in the middle did not choose Wang Zhaojun, who he was best at, but picked Zhou Yu.
Guo Hao on the wing chose the most common warrior-"Big Sword" Arthur!
After the Revenge team selected Arthur, the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Because the hero Arthur is the most typical novice hero in Honor of Kings, with simple operations, mindless combos, and basically no entertaining performance. It can be said that he is one of the heroes that high-end players disdain the most.
Although the Tournament of Kings is just a small city-level competition, it can still be regarded as a regular competition. On this occasion, Guo Hao actually chose Arthur. His behavior quickly attracted a lot of ridicule.
However, Guo Hao had a good psychological quality and didn't care about everyone's laughter. He locked eyes on Arthur calmly and sneered: "You're laughing your ass, I'll watch my brother carry the whole audience in a while!"
Next, the pickers came to Nancheng No. 4 Middle School. They snatched the auxiliary Niu Mo, who has strong protective ability, and also won the displacement shooter Sun Shangxiang.
After seeing that the shooter on the opposite side was confirmed, An Yuwei sneered softly: "Sun Shangxiang, right? Very good..."
The Revenge team continued to select players, and Jingzhe grabbed another T0 jungler besides Pei Qinhu-Yun Zhongjun.
An Yuwei did not hesitate to take down Li Yuanfang, a very strong shooter in the early stage.
Since Nancheng No. 4 Middle School wants to play in the early game, Team Revenge will accompany them in the early game.
For the last two selection positions, one of the Nancheng No. 4 Middle School chose the wing laner Zhu Bajie, and the other chose the center tool Wang Zhaojun. At this time, the lineup of the Nancheng No. 4 Middle School team has been determined, and the Revenge team only has one support position left to choose.
The final choice fell into Lin Yan's hands.
The audience at the scene can't wait to see which support Revenge. Wuming wants to choose in this round.
Some viewers who have watched Lin Yan's live broadcast know that Lin Yan can often use assists to achieve carry effects. Whether it is Zhong Kui, who is sure to hit the hook, or Ming Shiyin, who uses strong spells, the supporting heroes will often change their supporting roles in Lin Yan's hands.
’s identity was directly promoted to the protagonist.
Will Lin Yan use this unexpected trick again this time?
Just when everyone's eyes were focused on the screen, Lin Yan made his choice.
However, his choice shocked everyone present, and even some were dumbfounded.
The sound of horse hooves galloped from the end of the screen, and then a majestic figure appeared from the screen.
"Fight to the bitter end!"
Guan Yu!
In full view of everyone, Lin Yan actually chose Guan Yu as his last assistant!
Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but exclaimed.
"oh--!"
Even the referee sitting in the middle was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Yan to make such a smart selection move.
At the same time, some people began to wonder: "Who is the support between Guan Yu and Arthur in the Revenge team? Is it possible that Guan Yu is on the side and Arthur is the real support?"
After all, Guan Yu, as a frequent player in high-end games, has always been a T0-level winger. Going back about ten seasons, before Guan Yu was weakened, this hero was the well-deserved king of team battles in Honor of Kings and a perennial hero.
The person who tops the KPL winning rate list.
Chang Ge, the captain of the Prime team, achieved his current status with Guan Yu's sword, which shows how strong this hero was back then.
Even after being severely weakened and having his horse's legs cut off several times, Guan Yu still had a good appearance and performance in high-end games and professional arenas.
Therefore, when Lin Yan took out Guan Yu, everyone speculated that he was not playing the support position, but was going to play on the wing, leaving Arthur to play support.
But everyone's guess is wrong, because Lin Yan's Guan Yu is indeed in the support position.
In fact, there is a precedent for Guan Yu playing support in the KPL.
Guan Yu was initially positioned not as a warrior, but as a tank. Because of his extremely high mobility and forced displacement skills, he was initially positioned as the canyon's chief group shooter, playing a more functional role in the team.
However, everyone later discovered that Guan Yu was not only able to start a group, but his damage was also very terrifying. Often, with a big move and a skill, the opponent's C position would be taken away directly.
Because of this performance, he has gradually become the current wing overlord and has the qualification to dominate the front line. However, going back to the initial version, Guan Yu's initial positioning actually had some supporting elements.
Now Lin Yan took out Guan Yu because of his mobility and ability to start a group.
More importantly, this non-mainstream support can confuse opponents very well...
