LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 154: Can Kalista be used in this version?
Xiao Hei was very angry, but it did not affect the quilt.

The classic 15-minute speedrun session caused US server players to shout about the gap in jungle in the chat box.

"You're the only one who's still the jungler for SKT, fuck?"

Xiao Hei, who was beaten badly, finally left the machine in shame and fell into deep self-doubt. It was really hard not to be heartbroken when he was beaten by an AD player in the jungle position. Was it my fault, or was it just my bad luck?
When I think about this time last year when he was still SKT's official starting jungler and joined the team in the MSI, although he didn't perform well in the group stage, he adjusted in time in the knockout stage and won the championship, his ability was not bad, but now he has fallen to the point of sitting on the water cooler.

"Shanjiu, pour me a glass of water. I'm thirsty after reviewing for so long." Wolf's voice came.

The obedient Xiao Hei stood up, served tea and water, and sat back in his seat. His face suddenly became even darker.

His already dark face looked like it was painted, and it was hard to tell whether he was Asian or African.

Peanut, who had just finished reviewing the match, came over and, looking at the shameful results on the screen, expressed sympathy: "Don't be sad. You might not know this, but Lin Ruo's best position is jungle."

"Really?" Xiao Hei didn't believe it.

"Why would I lie to you? I was speedrun by his Nidalee a while ago. There are so many slicings on Twitter."

Xiaohuasheng self-deprecatingly logged in at the speed of light and invited people to play in a duo. Finally, I waited for you. Luckily, I didn't give up.

Lin Ruo in the EDG training room readily accepted it.

[Are they afraid that Peanut will lose the game and become a substitute, so they quickly logged in to sanction Blank?]

【The entire SKT team has been defeated. 】

[Confirmed, no wonder they were able to beat SKT, it turns out they had an insider on their side.]

[You think I, Brother Lin, am playing a game? No, I am attacking your mind.]

"Hey, how come you have time to log in today? Are you happy because you won?"

"Why are you so happy? Everyone knows that you SKT often try to attack in the first round, then fight back in the second round, and then win the BO53 0: and get slaughtered."

"Okay, we'll definitely come back in the second round, let's see."

"Come on, even if we lose we'll still be first in the group."

The two connected via voice and communicated smoothly in Korean.

People were puzzled by the fun in the live broadcast room that they couldn't understand.

[I watched a fake live broadcast and couldn't understand anything they were saying.]

[If you don't know, you might think Lin Gou is Korean, he speaks so fluently.]

[I'm really shocked. How can a lousy gamer learn to communicate in Korean in just a few days?]

[Lin Gou, who loves to study, is like this. Didn't he speak 6 in English during yesterday's interview?]

[It turns out that except for being short there, Lin Gou seems to be able to do everything.]

[Without further ado, here's a translation.]

[Little Peanut: Are you free tonight? Lin: Yes. Little Peanut: Then come. Lin: Sure.]

【? ? Is this serious?】

Not long into the game, Lin Ruo turned off the microphone on his own initiative. The barrage of comments was filled with a bunch of rhetorical idiots, making it impossible to chat at all.

If we continue talking about this, I don’t know how serious the issue will be tomorrow.

"The one who slandered me for being short, get rid of him." Lin Ruo took a sip of water and ordered the room keeper.

This kind of obvious smear campaign is too much and is intolerable.

What followed was a familiar part. The two of them fought in duo queue all the way until around midnight. Since they had a game the next afternoon, they said goodbye to each other and got off the plane to rest.

The LPL audience was just watching it for fun, but the Korean netizens were shocked when they heard the news.

Nothing else, because they were the ones who lost the game today.

[Xiba, what's the point of Peanut? He lost the game and still duo-queued with the enemy.]

[I heard the two of them connected via microphone, so I don't think they'll be digging into their tactics.]

[The LPL players are quite cunning, Peanut really needs to be careful.]

[The team is in poor condition and not training well. This is really a bit too much. 】

[Um, with matches happening day after day, practice is practically impossible. All I do when I get home is review my matches and play ranked. Peanut is pretty diligent for playing so many games, but I really can't handle duo-queuing with a direct opponent.]

There was a lot of discussion on the Korean Internet, with most expressing dissatisfaction with Peanut, and some fans even rushed to the SKT official blog to comment and criticize.

Although he and Lin Ruo only chatted for two minutes, they spent the rest of the time quietly playing in a duo, which was roughly equivalent to a normal RANK.

But that's what happens when you lose a game, everything you do is wrong.

……

Day three of the MSI group stage.

The huge Olympic stadium was filled with noise.

EDG's opponents today include the second match against FW and the Vietnamese team GAM, who they have not played against in the first round.

Although GAM currently maintains a 2-2 record, in terms of real strength, it is comparable to TSM and is not much stronger.

In terms of playing style, this team has significant similarities with EDG and plays very aggressively.

The difference is that EDG focuses on the early and mid-game, while GAM only plays the early and mid-game, adhering to the cross mantra, either you explode or I explode.

I have always only played the life-swapping strategy. After all, if you can't operate in the later stages, only a fool would complain to you.

In the first match of the third day, EDG easily defeated FW in 30 minutes and achieved five consecutive victories.

Next up is the match between SKT and GAM.

SKT played at a fast pace in this game. Due to two consecutive losses yesterday, the team also tried to change their playing style in the top lane, giving full play to the linkage instead of letting Huni continue to be the sacrifice. The result was a quick push in 23 minutes.

Peanut's Lee Sin ganked for 8 minutes and was superb, recreating the classic. He seemed to be having a great time, humming softly while sitting on the chair.

The public opinion on Korean websites suddenly reversed.

If you are strong, you are justified.

Lin Ruo in the lounge was not surprised at all, but the comments from his own LPL audience were much more interesting.

This is the real SKT. Please choose this when playing against EDG.

[That's fine. Don't pick a healer like Graves for Peanut. It's much better to pick a tempo hero like Lee Sin.]

Huni can't handle pressure. Picking Rumble or Gnar isn't easy. [Haha, they must be really nervous about the second round against EDG the day after tomorrow. They're so happy after winning.]

A bit flirty.

Lin Ruo put down his phone and closed his eyes to rest.

...

Soon at 6: Beijing time, the penultimate game between EDG and GAM arrived as scheduled.

Both sides tend to be tough in their lineups. The blue side EDG grabbed Lulu as usual, and GAM counterattacked and locked Graves and Ashe, and neither side gave in.

Obviously, the crushing defeat to SKT did not affect GAM's usual early-game offensive strategy.

"With Graves gone, EDG easily took down Lee Sin. If there's a need for a duel in the AD position, the best option is undoubtedly for Lin Ruo to take Varus."

Miller was analyzing.

A Guang quickly took out the Lamborghini and started grilling.

"First, Rambo comes to the hand lane to block your choice. How fierce! It really feels like the two teams are trying to stab each other."

GAM locked down Syndra, and now they have no way out.

No matter whether it is done later or not, just do it.

Miller couldn't help but think about the early stages, and after thinking carefully, he said:

"GAM can continue to use Kennen against Rumble and replicate their top lane matchup against SKT."

"Don't worry, I was just beaten." Wawa said with a smile.

"Although it collapsed, the main reason was the collapse of the jungler and the radiation, which has little to do with the top lane." Miller felt that he could continue to take it.

As for GAM, after the second ban, they were always hesitant in choosing the player for the fourth floor, and finally locked on Jayce in the second phase.

Wawa hissed, "Jace is taking too much of a gamble. We have to hit Rambo when we hit him. We can't be so rude."

"I think it's a disguised way of relieving pressure on teammates, forcing the EDG jungler to not just focus on the bottom lane. This pick is quite interesting, but it's also easy to get caught out."

Miller analyzed the pros and cons and turned to EDG's choice.

EDG acted quickly, with Kalista on the fourth floor.

Fifth floor hammer stone.

There was an uproar.

"No, is it really okay to play like this? Isn't it too much emphasis on the early stages?"

Miller's voice suddenly rose. No matter what others thought, he was really shocked.

It’s okay if you take a Thresh.

But for the hero Kalista, no one has even chosen to ban her at MSI so far.

The strong team is showing disrespect to the weak team?

Faced with EDG's confident choice, Wawa also had doubts.

"That means Lulu plays mid-lane, this..."

There was no time to think, as the last Karma was locked in, the lineups of both sides were finalized.

EDG Blue Team: Top Robot, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid Fairy Witch, Bottom Kalista, Support Soul Shackle Warden

GAM red side: top laner Future Guardian, jungler Outlaw, mid laner Syndra, bottom lane Ashe, support Karma.

[You're feeling cocky after winning against SKT, right? That's what you're doing.]

[I didn't know, but I thought I was guaranteed first place in the group, so I started playing around blindly.]

Question first.

[I feel like this lineup is difficult to play against. Four protecting one Rambo in the late game? At least the opponent has a Graves.]

[Just force it open, what else can I do?]

The official LPL live broadcast room was full of confusion.

"Actually, I think both sides are quite outrageous. GAM's Jayce pick doesn't make any sense either."

Miller forced a smile.

Not to mention EDG, they didn't act like that.

The main reason is that Kalista is too easy to be fooled, and the opponent has Syndra.

"EDG has started again. I thought they were just playing tricks on us." Wolf joked in the SKT lounge.

Bang said with a smirk, "Maybe this tactic is just for us later. Let's just give it a try today."

Wang Leehom listened quietly and began to take notes.

EDG has too many ideas, which sometimes really makes him distressed. Last year, Nofe leading ROX with Miss Fortune was enough to torture SKT.

How many new things will there be this year?

In the EDG lounge, Nofe was scratching his head.

This lineup is different from the ideal design in his mind.

Forget it, it wasn’t my choice anyway, Nofe chose to spread his hands.

Soon, both sides quickly entered the Summoner's Rift.

Amidst constant cheers from the crowd, EDG's first-level deployment today was quite strategic, with five players huddled together and moved to the bottom lane.

The vigilant GAM team knew that EDG would definitely make a move and adopted a conservative stance.

However, they could never have imagined that the five EDG players would go directly into the river from the bottom lane and invade the blue team's jungle area in clear sight.

I had no intention of hiding it at all.

"Start with blue buff and force you to go up. Then, after clearing this side for four minutes in the early game, you can continue to return to your own jungle area. Ai Loli can stay in the bottom lane all the time." Miller followed up with the explanation.

Graves can choose to exchange jungle areas, but Levi has already left in advance, so they cannot fight a level 1 team fight.
