LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 127: Dare to take EDG's F6?

During the break of debugging the equipment, the camera turned to the commentary booth in the middle of the field, with commentator Changmao in the middle, and the invited EDG veteran mid laner U and WE Smile on the left and right.

Changmao smiled slightly and, as usual, asked for opinions on the game and the outcome.

As a frequent commentator, Wei Xiao pondered for a moment before speaking first, "I think WE and EDG have very similar styles. They're both aggressive and strong, excelling at supporting and fighting. So, apart from anything else, the visuals in this final will definitely be incredible."

"Well, EDG's style has changed a lot in the new season. It all depends on the change in the bottom lane strategy. As expected, they should be able to play a full BO5."

U straightened his ill-fitting suit and said very subtly that as the first mid laner of EDG, he could see at a glance the changes in the team compared to last year.

In the past, EDG has always been a team that sets the pace through the bottom lane, but this does not mean that they have to fatten up the bottom lane and make AD output the core.

The bottom lane acts more as the rhythm engine in the early stage, creating advantageous opportunities for the team.

For the current EDG, not only is the early rhythm still initiated in the bottom lane, but the playing style is also more inclined to ensure the development of AD and revolve around it.

In just one season, EDG seemed to have changed, which made U feel very unfamiliar for a while, especially since Scout began to play the role of a tool man.

By comparing the regular season data of both sides, the three continued their analysis. Soon, as the BP was about to begin, the camera shifted to the long-lost commentary seat.

"Hello everyone, good afternoon! Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2017 LPL Spring Finals. Thank you to the three commentators for their analysis. Hello everyone, I'm commentator Miller."

"Hello everyone, I remember."

"Hi everyone, I'm Rita."

The three of them were all dressed in black suits, gold bow ties, and noise-canceling headphones, standing on the stage and smiling at the camera.

【Oh my god, how did Rita make it to the finals? 】

[The LPL official also understands traffic, and the combination of men and women is more comfortable to watch. ]

[No problem, just looking at three old men is visually tiring.]

At this time, Rita was young and beautiful. Although it was somewhat unqualified for her to stand on the commentary seat, it did not cause much resistance for the LPL audience who were keen on novelty and lsp.

The director's camera kept switching back and forth, briefly pausing at the commentary desk, then moving to the players' seats on both sides who were on high alert, sweeping past, and pausing at the perspective of WEAD's brother-in-law.

Some fans in the stands couldn't help but scream in amazement at his handsome face.

After a while, the camera cut to the EDG player's seat.

Lin Ruo was sitting on the gaming chair at this time, with his hands crossed and fists clenched in the middle of the table, and his eyes closed to rest.

The vast number of female fans of Pig Pig in the audience screamed in surprise, not to be outdone.

Lin Ruo is really handsome as long as he doesn't open his mouth.

"The director is very sensible. The game hasn't started yet, so let's show you something eye-catching first."

On the podium, I remember joking repeatedly: "How about Rita, as a girl, you can judge which one is more pleasing to the eye?"

Rita pinched her hands with a shy look on her face and said without hesitation, "It must be more pleasing to win the game."

Miller couldn't help but take a second look.

Regarding the pit-digging that I remember, this answer is perfect.

As the director's prompt came through his headphones, Miller gathered his thoughts and said seriously, "Alright everyone, the players on both sides are ready. The first BP round of the Bo5 finals will begin soon. EDG is on the blue side, WE is on the red side."

Amidst the powerful war song music, the BP interface appeared right above the audience seats.

All the audience waited with bated breath.

"EDG banned Elise right away. There's nothing wrong with that. Condi's Elise was truly exceptional in the LPL Spring Split, always leading WE to a massive advantage in the early stages. Banning him was the right move."

"It was WE's turn. They banned Kennen first. One reason was to be wary of EDG's bottom lane options, and the other was to take into account their volatile nature. In fact, in recent RANKs, Mouse has used him several times in a row. WE should have noticed this and taken precautions."

"Salt and Jayce, both sides will ban one each next. Both are key priorities in the meta. EDG took the initiative to ban Lulu in the third pick, which seems to be targeting the bottom lane. WE didn't want to ban Zyra, but chose to ban Kled. EDG won two games in the semifinals. Mouse is really good at playing Kled."

In the commentary booth, the three discussed in great detail, trying their best to explain the highlights of the BP to the audience.

In the contestant seats, the two sides, which had been well prepared, entered the first round of Pick.

"Let's take the poodle first."

EDG's first goal was very clear, they had to gain a strong advantage in the jungle.

For WE, 957 locked down the only remaining jungler option, Lee Sin, who would not be too far behind.

Because they were on the red side, their BP was still targeted by EDG.

"Tialah or LeBlanc?" Condi asked on the second hand.

Hongmi thought for a moment and said, "Tialopia, you two still have to do something."

"WE still focuses on the coordination between the mid and jungle, and does not lock on to Ahri to fight in the laning phase. Then here comes EDG, the Ice Archer and Jyra, the familiar invincible bottom lane combination. It feels like EDG's BP is going very smoothly." Miller couldn't help but praise.

"They should go to the bottom lane in their third pick. Let's see if they can withstand the pressure and fight in the late game, or just go for it and fight us head-on."

EDG player seats.

Lin Ruo watched BP talking non-stop, and when the mouse appeared, he quickly understood.

Nofe touched his chin and suddenly became excited.

If they can ensure that their bottom lane is strong and force WE to make concessions, then their BP will be half successful.

However, one needs to be wary of the fishing nature of WE's lineup to lure the enemy into deep.

Taliyah has very strong linkage, and ganking the bottom is an inevitable option.

Therefore, the subsequent choices must be based on the support and care for the bottom lane.

Lin Ruo was in deep thought and killed the little fishman.

Releasing a panacea like Fizz who can both fight and resist in the top lane will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on you in team fights because you yourself have no displacement.

"Let's press Shen later, we can't give WE too much counterattack ability." Nofe said later.

"Okay." Tian Ye nodded.

"WE's next two picks can only target the middle lane. They first ban Galio. EDG responds by banning Shen. LeBlanc was WE's last pick. They were still worried that EDG's mid-jungle combination was too strong and difficult to navigate." In the second round of picks, EDG prioritized taking Titan on the fourth floor.

Braum and Gragas were selected on the fourth and fifth floors respectively on WE's side.

"WE was kind of forced to play defense. When they found they couldn't beat the rhythm, they simply switched to being a core player in the late game. Braum was very quick to kill, and he provided enough protection for the rat." I remember I was still very optimistic about this later choice.

During the regular season, WE's two attacks were blocked by EDG. This change of direction was a good attempt, although it was more passive.

But resilience is something WE has never lacked.

"What does Li Lican in the middle lane want to do?"

In the last move, Tian Ye seemed very cautious.

Scout took a quick look and said, "Just take Karma."

They need to push the tempo.

If you choose a development hero in the middle lane, it would be inappropriate to have a lineup that is neither good nor bad.

There is no need to say much about the rat's dominance in the later stage. Offensive pressure is something EDG must think about in this game.

Under everyone's attention, Karma was locked.

"It's another game to see the bottom lane. The offense and defense on both sides will be very interesting. Lin Ruo's laning ability has always been very strong. I wonder if WE can withstand it." Rita analyzed.

The lineups for both teams have been finalized.

EDG: Top laner Deep Sea Titan, jungler Pride Stalker, mid laner Apocalypse, bottom laner Frost Archer, support Rise of Thorns.

WE: Gragas on top, Lee Sin on jungle, Taliyah in the middle, Plaguebear on the bottom, and Heart of Freljord on support.

Both sides enter Summoner's Rift.

The battle began.

The first game of BO5 begins.

The venue was filled with thunderous cheers.

"Come on EDG!!"

“Go WE!!”

The black and red flags unique to the two sides were held high and waved on the sidelines, fluttering in the wind and competing with each other for beauty.

It was Ai Loli's first time to step onto the finals stage. Looking down, she saw a huge crowd of people. She couldn't help but feel nervous. She pulled her seat back and wanted to put her face close to the monitor.

"Why are you so close? Aren't you afraid of getting nearsighted? Brother C, don't be nervous."

"Fuck, Brother Lin." This was probably the first time that Lin Ruo comforted him so seriously, and Ai Loli was overjoyed.

Lin Ruo was calm and composed, and continued, "Don't be nervous. If you get nervous any more, I'll beat you up and you'll behave yourself."

Love Loli: ...

After buying the equipment, both parties left the fountain.

The first-level competition in the finals was a little fierce.

The five WE players, who had already had an idea, rushed into EDG's jungle area and hid in the grass behind the red pit.

Scout peeked into the river and threw his RQ enhancement orb forward.

Xiye took the damage and left the grass, releasing his W skill Rock Surge towards Karma's feet.

Scout was forced to use his flash due to his careless positioning, and kept pinging the signal to indicate the situation.

"I didn't dodge, be careful."

Seeing this, Lin Ruo quickly adjusted his position to the first level.

After the top jungler reversed and invaded WE's red zone to establish vision, Ai Loli asked carefully:

"Can I still hold on?"

If that doesn't work, he can only choose to start the game in the wild area.

"Come on, you definitely can't change the jungle area, otherwise you'll have to stay there for a long time."

Lin Ruo kept giving orders: "Broon on the opposite side is very strong at level one, but we also have Jyra, don't be afraid."

The two sides fought in the red buff area for nearly half a minute.

At 1 minute and 40 seconds, wild monsters appeared.

The WE team decisively turned around to help Condi open F6.

Miller's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say:

"WE's judgment is very accurate. The two sides are evenly matched in the red buff area. So I will go down and use my position advantage to grab F6 first. It will also be profitable."

"Come and eat the stone beetles."

Lin Ruo communicated with his teammates slowly and calmly.

After Condi reached level 2, he immediately returned to his own jungle area to start a red buff. He successfully counter-jungled at the beginning of the game, and WE gained a small advantage.

Lin Ruo was most worried about the lack of flash in the middle lane, so he reminded:
"Scout, be careful. Level 3 Condi will definitely come and get you."

"I know." Scout replied, already starting to eat the line.

In the bottom lane, WE had no power to resist against the strong version.

Ben Braum tried to use Q on Jella's plant passive, but failed to consume it.

The WE duo wisely retreated.

After killing the stone beetles and reaching level 2, Ai Loli took the opportunity to kill the red one.
