LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 153: You just bullied the main players and now you’re bullying the substitutes, right?

After the interview, the team left the venue.

It was just after eight o'clock Beijing time.

The news about EDG defeating SKT on the second day of MSI and maintaining their undefeated record has caused overwhelming heated discussions on the domestic Internet, and the number of views of the game highlights is increasing.

In the forum early in the morning, netizens were in high spirits, and various posts praising the product appeared one after another.

[Seeing EDG win the game, I even had enough energy to move bricks early in the morning.]

[22 minutes, are you sure it's not a dimensionality reduction attack?]

The most outrageous thing is that SKT didn't get a single kill. They almost lost the Linglong Tower.

[Civil War Phantom? EDG's eyesight has been poor lately, mistaking SKT for LPL.]

[Haha, what does EDG's poor performance at Worlds have to do with my EDG at MSI?]

"Your name is Huni, right? You used to beat our country 4-0. Do you understand what it means to be in trouble for a long time?"

[We strongly suggest that the World Championship be abolished in the future, and only the MSI Mid-Season Invitational will be retained.]

【Playing a BO1 is a mess. 】

A single Bo1 forced EDG's hidden lane-swapping strategy to emerge. It felt like they were going to suffer later.

[SKT is just playing around, don't take it seriously. Wasn't it the same thing last year?]

[Last year, SKT was beaten completely without any chance of fighting back? Is it really that hard to admit that EDG is strong?]

Seeing that Lin Ruo did not post a prediction on Weibo, some small black fans jumped out at the right time, but they were ultimately a minority.

This is not the first time EDG has defeated SKT, but for the LPL, which has failed in the World Championship for two consecutive years and is declining, the excitement it brings is huge.

After all, two days ago, we were still hoping to compete with Europe and the United States and retain the title of the second division.

Unexpectedly, they transformed themselves and easily took the lead by winning the triple crown and topping the standings.

After this battle, LPL viewers all had high hopes for EDG to win the championship.

EDG playing MSI really feels like that.

Guan Zeyuan, who was commentating on the game in person, made a joke on Weibo immediately after the game.

The shock this game brought to him was extraordinary, and his offensive was extremely eye-catching.

Who could have beaten SKT so badly that they were powerless to fight back?

[Awesome! Look how happy Guan Ge is.]

As her partner, Su Xiaoyan quickly responded in the comment section.

Haier Brothers, Jide and other commentators expressed their opinions one after another. As an old piglet, Miller was relieved but also felt heavy worry.

[Hold on, let's get first place in the group and then we'll talk about it.]

In his opinion, SKT has suffered two consecutive defeats. As long as EDG does not encounter an upset next time, they can still qualify as the first in the group even if they lose the second game.

After entering the knockout stage where they have the initiative to choose, it is almost certain that they will reach the finals if they do not play against SKT first.

As for the finals, it’s hard to say. SKT in BO1 and SKT in BO5 have always been two different teams.

"They crushed us! Holy crap! They beat us faster than they did in the regular season."

During the off-season, Xiao Ming was the first to send his condolences via WeChat to the RNG club.

With Xiaohu away from the base, Mid, relieved and full of energy, was playing other games and said happily, "Winning a Bo1 is actually nothing. Last year at MSI, the RNG team I led also won a group match against SKT, although it was a tough 60-minute battle, so the timeliness was a bit off."

Xiao Ming was deeply impressed.

Last year, RNG prepared for MSI at home in Shanghai and also defeated SKT in the group stage. They had a surprisingly consistent early advantage, and even Xiaohu contributed a solo kill highlight. In the end, they won the game after a 60-minute battle.

However, RNG was defeated in the second round and suffered revenge. Although they finally advanced to the knockout stage as the first in the group, it is hard to say whether it was good luck or not. They happened to play against SKT, the fourth in the group and in extremely poor form, for the third time.

Then in the semifinals, SKT easily came back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat them 3-0.

Indeed, SKT's ability to adjust is so terrifying that they barely qualified after four consecutive losses in the group stage, but once they entered the knockout stage, it was like they had changed the team, sweeping RNG and CLG and easily winning the championship.

"Damn, I'm speechless when I think about being eliminated by SKT." Youtouzai Malaxiangguo cursed. He was the most angry when he was defeated by Blank, the little black guy.

It was obvious that the team had the advantage of home court and had the support of the people, so he had the upper hand in the early stages.

There's no way around it. Last year's Faker was still too terrifying. As soon as the unmodified Ryze came out, he carried the whole game.

"But I think EDG has a better chance than we did last year. The key point is not that they beat SKT, but that they made fewer operational mistakes, you know."

Mala Xiangguo said very rationally.

To judge the status of a team, it is not just about winning or losing, but also about the number of mistakes in the game.

Sometimes, even if you win the game, if you make too many mistakes, your condition cannot be considered good, because there is a high possibility that these mistakes will be infinitely magnified in the next game and become the key to subverting the game.

But EDG did not make any mistakes.

Mala Xiangguo was surprised. Who was the commander of EDG? There was no trace of the ink from last year.

Opening the LPL event website, a video of EDG top laner Mouse being interviewed in English comes into view.

The English host in the video asked: "EDG's offense has been very smooth in these games. How can they maintain such good coordination?"

A Guang's smile was pure and bright. "Because we have the best brains on our team, the possibility of making mistakes in rhythm and operation is very small. Unless I get beaten in the early laning phase, it's generally difficult for the team to collapse."

"The strongest brain?"

Spicy Hotpot muttered loudly, unable to resist spitting out foul language: "This is outrageous, playing AD and also being the commander. Shi Senming, tell me honestly, what planet are you from?"

"Are you kidding me? Shouldn't he have known you guys longer?" Xiao Ming retorted. He was a graduate of RNG's youth academy. With the EDG logo on his body, Spicy Hotpot almost forgot they were once teammates, even though they hadn't even played a single practice match together. Like a passing guest...

Hearing this, Midhu felt deeply.

He still remembered that it was a dark and windy night. Lin Ruo was sitting in the RNG training room and performing five sprays in one second, typing while operating, and the key point was that he didn't miss a single last hit.

Midhu just thought this guy was a big deal at the time.

Just go ahead and criticize me, why are "your grandma's", "your grandpa's" and "your mother's" all reduplicated words?

The most terrifying thing is that while scolding four teammates, he also led them to victory, focusing on combining theory with practice, which made people lose their temper.

Judging from his ability to distract himself, he is obviously a genius. Why didn't I notice it at that time?

Midhu suddenly regretted it and slapped his thigh, feeling as if he had missed the most precious treasure in his life.

Xiao Ming, who cares deeply about his friend, has been fiddling with the news, reminding Lin Ruo not to relax. After all, SKT is best at adjusting its status.

However, he soon discovered that Lin Ruo did not relax at all.

Because on obgg, the American server account that has been in black and white for many years suddenly became popular.

Everyone in LPL knows that Lin Ruo has never used the official US server account since he went to Brazil, so there is no such thing as him trying to gain points or find a good feel for the game.

I logged in shortly after finishing the game today. Maybe the battle with SKT inspired my sense of mission and I vowed to train hard and win the championship.

Xiao Ming, who had a guess in his mind, opened the battle flag and found that Lin Ruo had already started the live broadcast on time every night. The title in the room confirmed that his idea was extremely naive.

[Defeat a strong enemy, and let's loosen up the alliance today.]

The spicy hotpot on the side exclaimed that it was outrageous.

What do you do for a living?

……

Halfway around the world, in a Brazilian hotel, Lin Ruo in the EDG training room opened the League of Legends app, intending to find a few of the strongest champions on the US server to bully.

【Alliance, start.】

[Is it finally time to increase the power level for US server players? 】

【It's really hard to win a RANK match with Lin Gou, but luckily I waited for it. 】

[I just arrived and almost thought I walked into the wrong live broadcast room. I heard you guys are the world's number one team that beat SKT?]

"Keep a low profile. We only managed to win the next round by luck with the lane swap. Can we brag about it after we win the second round?"

Looking at the flattering comments, Lin Ruoshi showed the temperament of a calm man.

"Little Peanut isn't logged in yet. Looks like he's still reviewing the game. I'll start the game myself."

He just clicked on the jungler position and started queuing.

After today's game, not only SKT, but also all the G2 members started training seriously.

There is no way. Losing to TSM was too much of a blow. All the G2 members suffered severe persecution both physically and mentally, and they vowed to avenge the previous shame.

Zven's PUBG account is not online.

In the SKT training room on the next floor.

Everyone analyzed the replay frame by frame and argued endlessly about the review.

"As soon as the four EDG players came out of the fountain, they headed straight for the river. It was obvious they had planned this in advance. Huni, you shouldn't have stuck your eyes in the grass. Not only are they useless, but they also paralyzed our vision." Bang was doing his familiar job of catching the traitor.

Huni rolled his eyes quietly while being lectured.

It's good enough that I, a top laner, can plant this ward for you. How can you ask for so much?

Faker stroked his chin. "I think EDG's move was impulsive. All I can say is that our counter-invasion was a complete failure. Not only was it ineffective, it also exposed a fatal flaw."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Look at EDG's subsequent series of lane swaps. Which step was wrong? They must have been prepared long ago to deliberately target them."

Bang strongly vetoed it.

In his opinion, if it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, EDG's lane change should not be perfect.

"EDG did catch us off guard, but next time we should be more prepared. At least we won't be too passive in the early game."

Wang Leehom flipped through his notebook, and the focus of his review was still from the 0-for-2 team fight in the jungle. That wave was the turning point that led the team into a real disadvantage.

"EDG changed lanes on a whim, without any deliberate preparation." Peanut said at this time.

Bang was still trying to be stubborn, but Peanut showed him a screenshot of the Twitter chat he and Lin Ruo had shared, and said angrily, "The first wave of invasion was indeed a mistake."

"Okay, stop talking." Wang Leehom was very angry. This group of people simply couldn't tell the difference between the important and the trivial.

Wouldn't it be possible to avoid the lane-swapping problem by simply placing wards in the river next time? Whether it's intentional or not, there's a need for serious discussion about this.
Bang coughed and sat down awkwardly: "Listen to the coach, let's continue the review."

In the corner next to the six people, SKT's substitute jungler Xiao Hei was RANKing. He encountered a very strong jungler this time and was beaten to a sweat for a while.

Taking advantage of the gap between deaths, Xiao Hei opened TGA to check the identity of the user of the super account.

You don’t know until you check, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

Doesn't this guy not play ranked games?

Xiao Hei couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he thought of something.

Gou Ba just bullied five main players in the afternoon, and now he deliberately bullies me, a substitute, in the evening, right?

Kill them all.
