LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 148 is called the Civil War Phantom God, but it is actually the Anti-Korean Hero, which seems to be not contradictory.
Lin Ruo accidentally became popular again.

It all started with a simple and confident interview.

The three-minute interview video released by the official LOL Twitter account that night received over 10,000 comments in just one hour and was viewed over 300,000 times.

Talking nonsense has always been a daily activity for Europeans and Americans. As a group that admires the strong, arrogance has never been a problem, provided that they have enough ability to carry this courage.

Judging from Lin Ruo's performance on the first day of the group stage, Europeans and Americans are obviously more impressed with him.

The content of the interview is simply shocking.

[I'm used to winning, so I don't feel anything. Oh my god, listen to what people are saying? TSM, who keeps losing, has something to say.]

This CN guy is really a love-hate relationship. I was attracted to his personality during IEM.

[Okay, although it's arrogant, I have to admit that this is the real truth. EDG has not lost a game since the Spring Split, and the same is true for IEM.]

So it's time for the European champions G2 to let him experience what it's like to lose a game.

"Dude, are you kidding me? I thought you were going to say SKT."

[Perkz, please come on your main account and speak.]

Perkz has already experienced what it's like to be defeated by EDG, so there's no need to speak.

Without defeating SKT, it's hard for me to accept this interview.

Didn't Lin Ruo say he'd pay attention to him tomorrow? If they can beat SKT, I'll definitely pay attention.

Guys, I think the question we should discuss is not whether to pay attention or not, but is there anything wrong with LeBlanc actively poke ADC?

[That's fine, but in Lin Ruo's eyes, Ahri pokes him and gives him away.]

[This might be the most arrogant AD player ever, so it looks like an assassin is going to be needed to clean it up.]

[On behalf of God, I feel sorry for Maple. First of all, LeBlanc had no problem poke ADC, but as for being killed by a single... well, that's it.]

At the same time, discussions were equally heated in China.

[You know, we often criticize Godv for being arrogant and not doing his job properly, but for Lin Gou, this is basically a compliment.]

[I don't know if I'm pretending or not. 】

I can't imagine the outcry if we lose to SKT tomorrow. What? Lin Gou said it's impossible to lose. Awesome! Tomorrow, either the black players will celebrate or the white players will take off.

[To maximize my enjoyment, I choose to play both sides. If I lose, I will criticize you, and if I win, I will praise you.]

……

5 month 12 day.

Day 2 of the MSI group stage.

The first game is the China-South Korea battle.

FW, known as the anti-Korean hero, ushered in the first duel with SKT after a long separation.

Under the watchful eyes of audiences around the world, the result was jaw-dropping: SKT lost...

Some people thought SKT might lose to EDG, but no one thought they would lose to FW so cleanly.

Ai Loli swallowed the drink with difficulty, looked at the incredible result on the big screen, and couldn't help but say:

"Brother Lin, hit me."

Lin Ruo, who had already experienced the consequences, didn't bother to care. He put his hands in his pockets and lay leisurely on the sofa.

In this game, SKT had a very good rhythm in the early game, and Bang killed Betty twice.

But just when everyone thought that FW would suffer a similar outcome as against EDG, Karsa stepped forward twice to save the team from danger.

The clever roaming killed SKT's top and support respectively, successfully helping FW stabilize the shaky situation.

The turning point of the game occurred at 15 minutes, when Faker was ambushed in his own jungle area. He then made a strange mistake in flashing and hit the wall, getting caught and killed, giving away a head.

FW pushed down the middle tower and the pace gradually picked up.

In the 23-minute team fight in the bottom lane, Karsa used his brilliant R flash to successfully kick back Graves, exchanging zero for three to help FW basically secure the victory.

From then on, the rhythm was under the control of FW from beginning to end, and they gathered the Baron in the 39th minute to win the game.

The Korean Internet forum has exploded.

[Xiba, how could you lose to FW? This is a totally unexpected result.]

【It’s not like I haven’t lost before.】

[BO1FW is indeed a bit of a counter to us. We need to adjust well. We can't lose to EDG later.]

Don't worry, FW really woke up SKT, but EDG will suffer.

[Haha, there's no way SKT will lose two games in a row in one day, so just win for sure.]

[Okay, as long as we can beat the Chinese team, it'll be easy. But poor Li Can will have to suffer a bit.]

In the SKT lounge, Faker was feeling frustrated.

Bang, who felt his performance was fine, actively reviewed the game and said, "Sang Hyuk, your early flash hitting the wall was a big problem. Pay more attention next time."

"There won't be a next time." Faker pulled his hair, thinking about the upcoming game with EDG, whom they considered to be their strongest opponent at the moment. His expression became even more determined.

"And Han Wanghu, you, with Graves, failed to grasp the rhythm of our bottom lane advantage in the early game. The opposing jungler performed much better than you."

Bang kept looking for the problem.

"Mine, mine." Peanut had nothing to say.

The reason for this match against FW was that his performance in the jungle position was indeed crushed.

The MVP after the game proved everything.

After reviewing the game, everyone turned their attention to the big screen in front of them. The second game, EDG vs. G2BP, began.

The first three moves of G2 are quite complicated.

In comparison, the red team's EDGBP is more targeted at Lulu, Nami and Jella.

The first three hands are all OP supports.

"Are they trying to force G2 to pick the support first?" Wang Leehom adjusted his glasses, jotting down thoughts. "G2 locked onto Karma first, so what does EDG mean? They must be targeting them."

Wolf spoke up, trying to think of a bot lane he could pick to compete with Karma.

For a moment, I had no thoughts in my mind.

After all, this depends on the choices of the AD positions on both sides before we can make a real judgment.

Fizz and Graves, EDG's first two moves.

G2 then revealed Empyrean and Syndra.

Seeing this Syndra, Faker's eyes lit up and he immediately judged: "In this case, Fizz has a high probability of hitting the middle, so he shouldn't go top again."

There is actually an invisible restraint between Fizz and Syndra, and Faker knows this very well.

The E skill is used to avoid the weak and retreat, the Q skill is used to penetrate soldiers and move close to the enemy, and basically once the R skill is hit at close range, Syndra has no room for resistance.

The LCK Spring Finals on April 4rd.

In the first game, he bought Fizz later. After getting his ultimate, he cooperated with Peanut twice in a row to kill Pawn's Syndra, forcing the latter to buy Zhonya's Hourglass first.

This laid the groundwork for KT's mid-game damage deficit and their comeback, which left a lasting impression on Faker.

"It seems like EDG has studied us thoroughly and has learned all this tricks."

As Wolf was analyzing, he saw Sona appear.

He was slightly surprised but not too surprised.

"Then you have to pair it with an offensive hero like Frost. Otherwise, it's useless to pick it. You have to have a certain advantage in the bottom lane."

G2 confronted with Caitlyn and Kennen in the top lane.

EDG took out Galio and continued to swing.

"The counter effect in the middle lane is not obvious. I think Galio is better in the middle lane. He can roam around and build an advantage for the bottom lane."

In the commentary booth, Miller analyzed the lineup.

In his opinion, Fizz would be suppressed uncomfortably in the middle lane before level 6. On the contrary, going to the top lane would play a huge role in restricting Kennen's solo lane in the middle and late stages.

The doll nodded beside her.

But after hesitating for a while, EDG decided to move Galio to the top lane, while the Fizz remained in the middle lane.

do not know why.

Faker breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene. It was a waste of talent to have Fizz go to the top lane.

As long as it is a teleporting murloc, it can also limit Kennen's solo lane in the mid-to-late game. Against Syndra, bringing ignite is actually redundant.

Perkz cleverly swapped out the barrier to deal with the high burst of the murloc after level 6.

Scout was, as expected, teleported.

At the beginning of the game, both sides had a normal rhythm in the early stage, and neither side had a big rhythm burst.

The junglers on both sides have been moving around the bottom lane.

EDG's unique Sona's super healing support gave them an advantage in the bottom lane.

In less than four minutes, Lin Ruo had achieved about ten finishing blows.

You know, Caitlyn and Karma are not weak in laning, but their disadvantage is that their endurance is far inferior to Sona.

"Player Lin Ruo really likes and is good at using Frost Archer and other types of skills to gain an early advantage. How about banning the first three picks in the next match?"

Wang Leehom asked, touching his chin.

Bang shook his head decisively: "No, I don't think his ice can suppress me to any extent. It's better to use the ban position for other more beneficial things, such as Kled."

"EDG's top lane actually has an advantage when they pick Kled. Without Kled, they basically just have to withstand pressure. If we can take down Kled, our top lane options will be much wider."

Huni agreed internally, but outwardly retorted, "Even if it's Kled, I can still suppress him with Fiora, and if that doesn't work, I still have Kennen."

"No, no, Sword Princess is too slow."

Wang Leehom was not very happy to let Shanglu take it.

Choosing Fiora means that the jungler's focus needs to be shifted to the upper lane. In this way, EDG will inevitably use the strong point of the bottom lane to launch a fierce attack despite the difference in numbers.

Leehom glanced at him worriedly. It was hard to say whether Bang could hold on in his current state.

Although the former is already used to the pressure.

Judging from the performance in the last game, Bang was in very good shape, which was something he was quite thankful for.

Several people were discussing, their eyes never leaving the game.

In the 11th minute of the game, both sides were fighting for the Fire Dragon. Galio's perfect teleport from behind allowed EDG to exchange zero for two, taking the Fire Dragon and winning a complete victory.

G2 suddenly fell into a disadvantage.

European and American teams are always prone to making mistakes in vision.

Wolf was upset watching this: "If it were me, I would definitely remove the wards in the bushes behind the tower and not give EDG such a great opportunity to siege them."

At 15 minutes, the teleporting murloc played a huge role. After the Ice Archer was killed by the tower, he teleported down and cooperated with the Graves to cut off the three retreating G2 players, ending the game with a triple kill.

After this, G2's defeat was inevitable.

"Scout played really well in this wave. He flashed away from the battlefield after using his skills and continued to harass the flanks. His two waves of attack completely destroyed G2."

Faker adjusted his glasses, surprised at the growth of this kid who left the team.

30 minutes into the game, EDG won the game with steady operations.

Three consecutive wins continue to keep the top spot.

Wang Leehom saw this and said seriously:

"As you can see, this EDG team is very difficult to play against. I hope you can forget the loss in the last game, but I have to admit the harsh reality: if we lose another direct match, we will most likely miss out on first place in the group."

Faker calmed down and looked at everyone with a smile: "Yeah, so we have to work harder."
