LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 156 Nofe: I joined EDG for my dream

Netizens who stared at the screen intently expressed their strong agreement with the official commentary.

The lens food is fixed in the bottom lane.

The minion line was cut off in less than eight minutes, and the enemy was blocked between two towers. How could the camera not be focused on the bottom lane?
[In 12 minutes, I triple-last-hit the opponent, destroying the high ground all the way and dancing back and forth, just like I was bullying in ranked.]

[I can't even get into the tower, and I'm still using the hammer to last hit. I'm lucky to be able to smell the experience.]

The funniest moment of the game was when Karma ran back to the tower with her shield on, but Lin Shen ignored her and used his ultimate to drive a Thresh into Ashe behind her.

[It's so funny, he's fallen to the point where he's not even worth killing.]

【Karma: You are noble, you are amazing.】

[Having Lulu in the mid lane is so cool, constantly giving healing and killing.]

The LPL fans who stayed up late were discussing the game enthusiastically. It was obvious that EDG did not disappoint their wait and companionship and still maintained a high level.

After the game, the EDG players returned to the lounge happily, chatting and laughing.

The five GAM players were staring at the settlement interface, packing up their peripherals numbly, with no light in their eyes. They were beaten badly by EDG and SKT in succession, and today was undoubtedly their doom.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

"With six consecutive wins, have we already qualified?" Ai Loli sat on the sofa and studied the standings.

A Guang said with absolute certainty, "Of course. Apart from SKT, no other team can win six games."

Because there were interviews later, everyone was unable to leave the venue immediately.

Lin Ruo, who has been suffering from low-key syndrome recently, did not accept any interviews and yawned quietly.

Soon, with the end of the last game between SKT and TSM, the third day of the group stage was over.

EDG continues to maintain its undefeated streak and leads the standings, followed closely by SKT with two consecutive wins at 4-2.

G2's condition improved, and they avenged TSM who defeated them the day before, and at the same time turned around FW. The points jumped to 3-3, temporarily escaping the edge of elimination.

The other three teams ended up losing all their games.

FW and GAM have the same score of 2-4, while TSM is on the verge of elimination at 1-5.

On active European and American Twitter, G2, having revived on the spot, started to make fun of it again, tagging the TSM club: "I was just teasing you about the game the day before yesterday. I hope you didn't really believe it."

The situation has been going back and forth, and European netizens have sounded the clarion call for a massive counterattack.

At the same time, discussions about the third day of competition are also high.

[Please help GAM with their psychological trauma from being beaten twice in a row. Today, two players became superstars thanks to their assists.]

The scariest thing is that even with this, GAM still beat TSM.

[God, Lin Ruokalista is so terrifying. I think I need to call her "Lin Shen" like Chinese netizens do.]

EDG winning the game is as easy as TSM losing the game.

[Man, your analogy is so appropriate, there is no sense of incongruity.]

SKT has regained their form today. I'm looking forward to the second match between EDG and SKT.

I think you're mistaken. G2's return to form is the key. I think they'll beat EDG and SKT in the next two days. Ahem, just to add, if anyone believes this, I'll laugh at them forever.

After returning to the hotel after the game, Nofe, who had inexplicably become a star due to EDG's excellent performance in recent days, was interviewed by the Korean expedition media.

Nofe was a little overwhelmed by the sudden surprise and he always felt something was wrong.

But he had no reason to refuse. He couldn't just say that they were enemies and not go for fear of revealing his tactics.

I am a real Korean, how can that be possible?

After a little preparation for the interview and facing the camera, the Korean media asked questions about adapting to life in China and why he chose to coach the EDG team instead of staying in the LCK.

Nofe responded one after another, and these were all perfunctory.

"I'm quite adaptable, but it's a little hard not being able to eat kimchi often in China."

As for the reason for joining EDG as coach...

The annual salary offered by EDG is twice the average annual salary that LCK teams can offer. There is no reason not to join EDG. He has never had a problem with money.

Nofe thought for a moment and said calmly, "It's mainly for my dream. I believe that joining the LPL region will further hone my abilities, allowing me to become a truly top-notch coach and lead my team to win the world championship in the future."

The LCK host in charge of the interview couldn't help but look at him with admiration: "Coach Nofe is truly worthy of admiration for traveling all the way to China to hone his skills and realize his dreams."

Nofe nodded in satisfaction.

But when it came to the next question, he obviously couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Regarding EDG's recent drafts and strategies, why are they always so innovative and creative? Coach Nofe must have done a lot of research."

Nofe smiled, then smiled wryly, and then his expression became serious. He was thinking about a problem.

Did he really make the decision on EDG's recent BP?
Confused, he recalled the BP session during the afternoon match against GAM.

When the third pick came, he had originally advocated for Varus first, but the top laner, A Guang, spoke sincerely, "Coach, I want to play Rumble. I feel like I can have a go. The opponent's top laner doesn't like to withstand pressure and will definitely fight me. I'm confident that I can gain an advantage."

"Rambo, that's a bit too aggressive." Nofe was actually not very happy about it.

But Lin Ruo couldn't help but say, "I think playing Rumble is okay. Look at what happened to GAM's top laner in the last game after being beaten by Huni. Is A Guang's Rumble weaker than him? Just do it."

This statement actually made no sense, but Lin Ruo had another sentence after it.

"Coach, do you want to get off work safely in 19 minutes?"

Nofe agreed immediately upon hearing this, as thinking for even a second would be disrespectful to his get off work.

Nofe's perspective shifted, and after coming to his senses, he straightened his glasses and said, "Our team is quite unique. I personally believe that compared to a strict hierarchy, a relaxed atmosphere of friendship is more conducive to team unity. That's why I often listen to the players' opinions on drafts and tactics. Lin Ruo, in particular, has put in a lot of effort. Of course, I've also contributed a lot. Overall, it's all thanks to the team, and no one is left behind."

"Coach Nofe is so humble." The host couldn't help but applaud.

Nofe waved his hands to keep a low profile, he couldn't bear it.

Soon the interview came to an end.

"In this MSI, EDG and SKT are both strong contenders for the championship. I'd like to ask Coach Nofe what he thinks of the upcoming group stage, and even the subsequent matches against SKT."

When SKT was mentioned, Nofe's brows couldn't help but furrowed a little.

As their mortal rival, SKT defeated ROX, led by him, twice, and successively won the LCK Spring Championship and the World Championship last year.

How can I not hate?

Nofe dreams of defeating SKT for revenge, so he said seriously, "First of all, SKT is a very strong team. Secondly, we've already met in the group stage. I think our team's current state is much better than SKT. I hope we can beat them again and win the MSI championship. It can be considered as making up for the regrets I had during my time at ROX."

The host agreed.

"Okay, today's interview ends here. Thank you, Coach Nofe, for your hard work. I also wish EDG continued success in the next games."

After ten minutes of conversation, the interview was finally over.

That night, Korean media worked overtime to release the interview content before the fourth day of competition began.

It immediately caused heated discussion on Korean online forums.

After reading the entire interview, I have to say that I admire Coach Nofe's ability to bring EDG to this level.

I feel like Coach Nofe is being too modest. He truly gave EDG a rebirth. He's a master of drafting and selection.

[It's really amazing to be able to train a new AD player to this level. ]

I'm already a little worried about what new tricks Coach Nofe will come up with next time he faces us.

[Yeah, Coach Nofe really wants to defeat SKT and get revenge.]

[Forget about helping LPL win, I hope Coach Nofe returns to LCK and leads the team to defeat SKT.]

[That's right, Coach Nofe, please come back next year. This guy can't stay in the LPL.]

[It would be best if he could take over as coach of SKT next year, replacing KKoma.]

"Wow, our coach Nofe is very popular on the Korean Internet."

In the EDG training room, Lin Ruo quickly browsed the messages on the forum.

"It's not Brother Lin, is Tieba and Twitter no longer fun? They've all started switching to Korean websites."

A Guang also wanted to take a few glances, but he couldn't understand.

"There's nothing good to see, all of it is praise, and there are basically no black spots." Lin Ruo was busy browsing.

Nofe walked in and coughed awkwardly, "Don't do that. If you need to rank, just rank. If you need to rest, rest early. There's no point in watching this."

Lin Ruo nodded and couldn't help but say, "Coach Nofe, you joined EDG because of your dream. Coincidentally, so did I."

Nofe smiled faintly, and thinking of a Chinese idiom, he blurted out: "Then we can be considered as fellow travelers."

"Yes, yes, my dream in joining EDG is to make money."

Lin Ruo answered enthusiastically.

Nofe's face darkened and he turned his head away, deeply regretting talking to this brat.

Except for the competition, nothing is serious.
