LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 142 I'm asking you to play a training match with G2, not to play PUBG.

Half a day's break passed.

In the evening, after dinner, the EDG players who had finished their adjustments gathered in the hotel training room.

The second round of the qualifying round is still in progress. FW from Taiwan Province swept SUP 3:0 and advanced to the group stage together with TSM, which had a hard time getting through.

Next is the third round of the qualifying round.

The two loser group teams GAM and SUP will decide the final place in the main competition through BO5.

"It's too overwhelming. There's really nothing to study." Tian Ye held his glasses and felt disappointed. He thought it would be better to rest in the room for a while.

Abu had to admit that the qualifying round was indeed not very exciting, including TSM's comeback from 2-0 to 3-0 last night, which was just a pure fight between weak teams.

But if they rest too long during the day, they will easily suffer from insomnia at night. What they need to do now is to adapt to the local time difference instead of sleeping as soon as they feel sleepy.

"You are still not required to train at night, but you must get up before ten o'clock tomorrow morning and start working."

After explaining everything, Abu left Lin Ruo alone and asked: "Would you like to go and exchange uniforms?"

In international competitions, teams often exchange uniforms and take photos before the game to show friendly exchanges.

The reason for Abu's choice is very simple. Lin Ruosan is the most popular player in their team on the European and American Internet. From IEM to the current MSI, he has made a lot of splashes.

"What team?"

"The other three teams are still in the play-in stage, and SKT just left Korea. Which team are you talking about?"

Lin Ruo said "oh" and then realized: "I was wondering why I didn't see the whole SKT team."

...

Not long after, Xiaotie, who was accompanying the translation work, knocked on the door of the G2 training room.

The person in charge of opening the door was the young coach YoungBuck, dressed in a classic suit and slicked-back hair.

"Want to have a training match? Sorry, our team is off work now." YoungBuck drank his coffee and immediately judged the purpose of the visitor.

Both LPL and LCK are crazy about training games, and they can play more than ten games a day.

It seems unreasonable to them in Europe and America.

"Excuse me, we are here to change uniforms and communicate with each other." Xiaotie replied in fluent English.

"I see."

When YoungBuck heard this, he naturally welcomed them and invited them into the training room.

The G2 training room is empty, with only two players inside, bottom laner Zven and mid laner Perkz.

One is playing PUBG, the other is browsing Twitter.

"Perkz, come out and take some photos with us."

Ah P, with his big white teeth flashing, came up to shake hands happily: "Hey buddy, nice to see you again."

An afternoon passed, and the thick-skinned Ah P had already forgotten the embarrassing incident of last night.

Lin Ruoying felt a little awkward, but managed to cope: "Long time no see. Are you guys going back to your rooms to rest so soon?"

Pzekz smiled and said, "The other three are out shopping."

Lin Ruo remained silent. People in Europe and America were really bold. They dared to run around after just two days of arriving, and they went out on a dark and windy night.

Xiaotie next to him was extremely surprised when he saw this scene.

When did Lin Ruo start learning English? I don't usually see him studying with a dictionary or anything like that.

Could it be that he learned this trick from playing PUBG and exchanging insults with the bad-tempered foreigners every day?

He didn't understand it, but he was shocked.

The two sides exchanged uniforms and took photos in the aisle, and Xiaotie returned to the EDG training room alone.

"Where is that brat Lin Ruo?" Abu became suspicious. He was a little afraid that he would run away restlessly.

"Still in the G2 practice room. Zven has some in-game questions for him."

Abu felt relieved after hearing this, but then he started to worry and asked, "That's not good. After all, we're rivals. If we discuss too much about the game, what if it gets into tactics..."

Xiao Tie said, feeling both amused and helpless, "Don't worry, Mr. Bu. They're not discussing alliance issues."

"That's good." Abu was completely relieved. After Xiaotie left, he was suddenly startled and stood up abruptly.

If it's not an alliance issue, what else can we discuss? Just leave it here for fun.

...

"Nice man, that's incredibly fierce."

The atmosphere in the G2 training room was joyful at this moment.

Zven gave up his seat and watched Lin Ruo wielding a shotgun and killing people indiscriminately at the airport, his mouth wide open in disbelief.

A few days ago, he saw a lot of Lin Ruo's PUBG highlights on YouTube. At first, he didn't believe it, so he stayed to verify it.

Even now, after seeing it with his own eyes, Zven has the urge to worship.

"Man, if this game hadn't only been out for two months, I'd have thought you'd been playing it for two years."

Ah P was also shocked.

This is much better than the high-ranking anchors he usually sees.

Coach YoungBuck came over, silently opened the computer beside him, and said:

"There are exactly four of us. I think we can team up and have some fun."

This fight will take at least two hours.

"The AK is useless, just throw it away."

"Come on, Lin, here's an M16."

Perkz, who is not very good at it, worked hard as a driver and took the four-man team to travel around the map.

"Hey guys, guess what we found out there."

The door of the training room was pushed open, and the other three members of G2 came back.

Support Mithy was excited. "We found a really nice bar out there. After tomorrow's scrim, I think we can go out and relax tonight. Just once should be fine, Coach." YoungBuck ignored him, muttering, "Fuke, someone's sniping me from behind the dumpster."

Perkz was hiding in the room, trembling. "I think I might need to be rescued. My gun skills are terrible."

"What's going on? Doesn't Perkz want to stop playing PUBG?" Jungler Trick scratched his head.

Mithy and the other two looked at each other, then quietly moved forward.

...

In the early hours of the morning, Lin Ruo returned to his training room on time.

Abu's face was gloomy: "Why did you come back so late?"

"Let's arrange a scrim. After three hours of discussion, G2 has agreed to play a scrim with us tomorrow. Boss, you don't have to go in person."

Lin Ruo patted his back, feeling smug about his contribution.

Abu opened Twitter and clicked on the homepage of G2's bottom laner Zven, and saw a fresh GIF that was posted half an hour ago.

A scene of a player using a gun like a god in a game of PUBG.

The caption read: "Well, I have to admit, Lin Ruo is indeed the best PUBG pro I've ever seen. My friend, you're a true genius."

There are quite a few comments below, all of which are sarcastic.

[Oh my god, look at what you guys have done, actually led a professional player from LPL astray. ]

I heard EDG is a very strict organization. I think it won't be long before they knock down the door of the G2 room with an axe.

[NONO, I've seen too many slices of Lin Ruo on YouTube. I reasonably suspect that he's the one who's led our G2 players astray.]

[Yes, anyone who knows Lin Ruo will know that he was playing PUBG the day before the LPL finals.]

[Well, if he likes to hang out in bars, then coming to EU to become a professional gamer should be a good choice.]

As a G2 fan, I'd like to ask top laner Expect if he's finished clearing the World of Warcraft raid today.

"Isn't it rest time now? G2 is also resting, so I'll just play a few games to relax. Is that okay?"

Lin Ruo spread his hands, not knowing what Abu was so anxious about.

"It's better to visit less often in the future. After all, we are rivals and it won't have a good impact." Abu reminded carefully.

He knew Lin Ruo's personality.

You can allow him to only play training games and review tactics, and not RANK frequently.

But no matter what, there must not be too much overlap between players of these teams.

"Don't worry, I'm just showing them how to do it."

Lin Ruo nodded obediently. He didn't think about going there every day. After all, those bitches asked him to go to the bar to dance tomorrow night.

How could he dare to go there?

...

After explaining to Abu, Lin Ruo just returned to the room and received a call from Wei Shen.

"Fuck, man, what do you mean? You have time to play PUBG with a bunch of G2 players, but you don't come to play with me. Am I weaker than them? Or are you tired of playing and don't want me anymore?"

After hearing this, Lin Ruo felt a little disgusted. He hung up the phone silently, washed up and went to bed to adjust to the time difference first.

I woke up early the next day and entered the busy training period.

Starting at 10 am, we played three training matches with G2.

After lunch, I reviewed the game briefly and then played three more rounds in the afternoon.

After six training matches, both sides went back and forth. As it was their first encounter, they mainly tested the lineups and played more casually.

At 16 p.m. sharp, G2 left work and adjourned the meeting on time.

EDG has finished their review and the day's work is almost over.

Next is the free RANK time.

After dinner in the evening, at around 19 p.m., everyone gathered in the training room to watch the last BO5 match of the qualifying round, the wildcard battle between GAM and SUP.

With GAM defeating SUP 3:1 and securing the last group stage spot, the participating teams were finally confirmed.

They are EDG from the LPL region, SKT from the LCK region, G2 from the European region, TSM from the North American region, and GAM from the Vietnam League.

The six teams will play against each other in two rounds in the group stage, with the winner determined by BO1.

After two rounds, the top four teams will advance to the semi-finals, and the bottom two will be eliminated directly.

In addition, the top-ranked team has the right to choose first and has priority in selecting the top four opponents.

The group stage schedule was officially released shortly after the competition ended, with May 5th being the first day of competition.

EDG will face TSM and GAM.

The entire group stage lasts five days.

After finishing everything, Lin Ruo finally had time to try to start a live broadcast. He had no interest in the US server RANK.

Halfway across the world, I wasn’t sure if it would work, but luckily it seems to be fine.

The time difference between China and Brazil is 11 hours.

It is currently ten o'clock in the evening, which should be around nine o'clock in the morning Beijing time.

[Fuck, Lin Gou, you’re finally on air.]

[Not being able to chat with Lin Gou during his livestream has been tough these past three days. I almost died.]

[Play a round and test the strength of the US server. ]

[Can you live stream on your phone and show us around the G2 practice room?]

I heard that Lin Shen is leading the five-man G2 team to a stellar ranking recently. Hilarious! Social terrorists have successfully infiltrated the enemy camp.

Netizens are still good at talking. Looking at the comments from the funny people, Lin Ruo felt a sense of familiarity.

"I don't live stream League of Legends. If you want to watch it, go away. I've been training all day and now I'm asked to play after get off work. Isn't that disgusting?"
