LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 181 Ning: No one told me that EDG is so easy to beat

After finishing his work, Lin Ruo returned to the training room.

The other teammates have been playing training matches to get used to each other. Among them is Audi, who was officially transferred to the first team after passing the assessment. He has a round head and round face and looks like a silly guy.

There is also BBD, the bottom lane player of the second team who was temporarily transferred up. There are only about three days left before the German Cup, so the urgency can be imagined.

With nothing to do, Lin Ruo found a corner, turned on the computer, and started his daily live broadcast.

Soon after the show started, countless netizens flocked to it.

After winning the MSI championship, Lin Ruo's live broadcast popularity has become one of the top types in Zhanqi. The sensible platform immediately started pushing the live broadcast on the homepage and increased the popularity investment.

【Here we go, number one.】

[Fuck, Lin Gou is finally on air.]

[The other team members haven't logged into the Korean server yet. Are they playing scrimmages?]

[I saw you on the long list, but you're not on it.]

"No, I have to play in any level of the German Cup."

Lin Ruo was joking, turning on the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds accelerator and starting it up.

There is no Jedi double kill on the Asian server today.

The main reason is that Wei Shen is not available. In the afternoon, LGD has an online match for the German Cup 16-to-8.

Although the LGD club officially announced the introduction of NB mid laner Uzi a few days ago, indicating that Wei Shen is about to transform, hasn't he not transformed yet?

So Wei Shen is still a member of the team, so naturally he cannot broadcast on game days and can play other games.

The big momentum that should have happened in the past few days did not happen. It may be that Lin Ruo's previous reminder was effective. Snake took the game seriously and did not lose to the Internet Cafe Team in an upset and was eliminated. He is also on the list of today's 16 to 8 competition.

Their teammate happens to be LGD.

As expected, Snake was beaten out by LGD. The reorganized Optimistic Family still has a lot of impact in the summer season, and is no less depressed than the struggling relegation zone in the spring season.

The main reason is that Uzi was in his final playing stage this year and did not fast forward to the CJB period.

The online competition stage of the German Cup 16-to-8 lasted two days and ended on the 29th to determine the winner.

In addition to the top four teams in the spring season who received a bye to determine the quarterfinals, the other four teams that made it through the selection process are LGD, VG, IG and IM.

EDG's first opponent is VG. The two teams will compete in a BO6 format in the Changsha offline competition on June 1 for a place in the semi-finals.

The current VG is no longer an LPL team. After losing to DAN in the spring season, the team fell into the LSPL. Seeing that things were not going well, Benji rushed back to South Korea by plane overnight, leaving only the loyal Houye to stay and lead the newcomers.

However, Lin Ruo knew that VG was just going on a tour and would return to the LPL invincible next season.

When the teams were drawn, Abu was in a good mood.

He was worried about being eliminated when playing against other teams, but there was obviously no need to worry about that when playing against the relegated VG. It was a great opportunity to hone new players.

……

On May 5, the EDG team set off for Changsha, Hunan, and Lin Ruo joined the team as a substitute.

Originally he wanted to stay in the club to rest, but then he thought that since everyone had gone there, it would be boring to stay alone at the base, so he decided to go out and have some fun.

As we all know, the German Cup is also known as the EDG Cup, because since 14, EDG has won the German Cup series for five consecutive years.

In addition, EDG was in high spirits after winning the MSI championship, so even before the German Cup started, there were rumors that they had booked the championship.

But with the starting lineup for the German Cup quarterfinals on June 6, Lin Ruo was not even on the bench, which means there was no possibility of him playing at all.

This has caused many netizens to doubt EDG's journey to the German Cup.

Is it possible to bring three with two?

The fact is, EDG, once the champion of the German Cup, did not have such a smooth schedule in the Changsha station, which caused quite a lot of heated discussion.

In the quarterfinals, EDG fought hard for five games before defeating VG and advancing to the semifinals.

The newcomer Audi in the top lane was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and his condition was completely unstable. As the big brother, the factory manager did not seem to have recovered to his best condition, and his performance in the game was just passing.

As for the bottom lane, although the second team player BBD can stabilize the online situation, it is difficult for him to play the role of carry in the mid-term team battle.

Thanks to Scout's leadership throughout the game, EDG narrowly avoided being eliminated in the first round.

What a terrible performance, EDG.

Without Lin Gou, it feels like the team's true colors are about to be exposed.

What's there to say about these two newcomers? EDG is just practicing their lineup and has no intention of playing seriously.

[With this lineup, the semifinals will probably be crushed by IG.]

It seems EDG has no intention of continuing their six-peat.

[No, the top lane is for training the new players who just joined the team. So what about the bottom lane? Why shouldn't Lin Gou play?]

【I'm tired, what else can I do?】

In the evening forum, when the black and white factions were chatting enthusiastically, a report broke everyone's direction.

People's Esports published a headline article: A visit to the EDG club, an exclusive interview with Lin Ruo, a rising esports player with both knowledge and talent.

When I saw the title, I couldn't hold back my excitement.

After reading the content, everyone was dumbfounded.

[Wait a minute, I admit his strength, but what knowledge does Lin Gou have?]

[I, Lin Shen, taught myself English and Korean. Are you dissatisfied?]

If I hadn't seen the words "People's Esports," I would have thought this was Lin Ruo's own self-proclaimed boast.

[I'm really impressed. Low-key and steady, this is Lin Ruo's character.]

The interview transcript was indeed very low-key, neither pretentious nor aggressive.

[If the reporter recording the interview is deceived, can you please just blink?]

[It's obvious this reporter isn't from the league, and he even believes Lin's nonsense.]

[Unless Lin Gou never starts a group again, I won't believe he'll turn over a new leaf. Humph.]

...

Changsha Hotel, in the temporary training room.

Abu's expression was not bad, he was in a normal state, bringing two newcomers to the field, and he could barely accept that they could beat VG.

The main goal of the German Cup is to train and adapt to the new version. Finding problems and correcting them is the most correct answer. As long as this can be done, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose the game.

After all, the German Cup does not affect the summer season and does not affect the points of the World Championship, so it is of little practical use.

However, for the game against IG the day after tomorrow, the steady Abu still made some different arrangements, which was to put Lin Ruo on the bench and let him stay with the team to avoid any major accidents.

IG has made major changes to its lineup since the German Cup. They introduced YM rookie jungler Ning as the starting jungler, bought West for the AD position, and also had WE young player Theshy who rotated with Duke in the top lane.

The strength of the lineup is still unknown, but judging by their performance against NB in ​​the quarterfinals, it is at least much better than the stagnant state of the spring season.

In Abu's opinion, as long as the loss is not too ugly the day after tomorrow, he will not plan to rotate.

Train new players whenever possible, especially the top laners, who are EDG's key training targets this summer.

"Don't run around the day after tomorrow, go to the scene with the team."

After figuring it out, Abu immediately notified them.

"I haven't trained these few days. Didn't we agree to be an emergency substitute?" Lin Ruo was planning a travel route and was disappointed when he heard this.

"I'm not asking you to play, just watch." Based on today's performance, Abu is still worried that unexpected situations may occur the day after tomorrow.

...

June 6, Hunan International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The Demacia Cup semi-finals were held grandly.

The game that started in the morning was the second match between RNG and WE, with both teams starting with almost all their main players.

Uzi is sidelined due to a hand injury, and RNG's starting lineup today is the former substitute wuxx.

"Without Uzi, it feels like RNG is gone." "That's not necessarily true. Last year, RNG won the Spring Split championship, and the starting AD was wuxx."

A corner of the EDG lounge.

A Guang and Ai Loli, who were substitutes for the water dispenser, analyzed the game.

"Brother Lin, what do you think?"

"Why watch it? I don't want to watch it. RNG without Uzi can no longer attract me." Lin Ruo took out his mobile phone and was working hard to become the King of Glory.

On the sofa in the center, Nofe arranged today's BP and tactics for the starting five as usual.

Being used to relying on Lin Ruo for guidance, he felt a little uncomfortable taking on the responsibility alone.

Fortunately, in the past few days, Nofe believes that he has thoroughly studied version 7.9. If he loses the game, it will definitely not be a BP problem.

The game between RNG and WE started quickly.

After three 50-minute battles, RNG defeated WE 3:0 and advanced to the finals first.

The barrage immediately reached a climax.

[They were shut out in the spring season, but the German Cup was a reversal. Whoever was absent was embarrassed.]

【Haha, Uzi is holding RNG back.】

[No problem. When wuxx was there, RNG won the Spring Split championship, and when Uzi was there, they were third place.]

Xiaohu is definitely an actor. He gets really upset every time Zaozige isn't around.

It's obvious that Uzi's presence has affected Xiaohu's output.

Amidst the heated discussion, the match between EDG and IG followed.

EDG's starting lineup still continued the lineup when they fought against VG. IG made a slight change, replacing Duke in the top lane. Theshy had just arrived at IG and obviously had not yet received the absolute trust of the coaching staff.

In major competitions, IG still mainly starts with the mature Duke.

In the first BP, EDG's lineup was relatively stable, and the laning strength of BBD in the bottom lane was average. They first grabbed Xayah and formed a line-up with Tam to deal with the impact of IG's Ashe and Thresh.

The familiar Clockwork and Lee Sin in the mid and jungle.

The top laner with the Prince who initiates the team fight, this is EDG's entire lineup.

IG's team uses Spider and Jayce, and adds Galio, which makes them as aggressive as they can be.

Entering the game, IG had a very good rhythm in the early stage. It was obvious that they had fully studied EDG in the last BO5. In 5 minutes, the jungler and support cooperated in an orderly manner to cross the tower and kill Scout and Clockwork.

At 8 minutes, Ning used the same trick to gank the mid lane and helped Jayce get the second kill. Although his own kill was taken by Zzitai, it was obviously not a loss.

Jayce, who developed ahead of time, made a strong effort in the mid-game, and IG easily won the first game in 30 minutes.

Audi's Prince only took the initiative to start a team fight at 11 minutes, but after rashly giving away a kill, he became dejected and played timidly afterwards.

Abu in the stands was very angry.

The team was actually killed by IG.

This time the Bible was not just open, but fully open. However, considering that it was an insignificant German Cup, Abramovich did not get angry.

After a slight adjustment, the second game began.

It is still the mid-jungle combination of Lee Sin and Clockwork, the difference is that EDG has locked in the powerful combination of Ashe and Karma in the bottom lane.

In the top lane, Piglet was chosen to withstand the pressure.

"Actually, the main reason EDG lost the previous game was that they lost the bottom lane and were easily suppressed, which led to Thresh roaming mid-lane at level 3 and collaborating with Elise to kill Scout, which then snowballed."

In the commentary booth, the person in charge of today's game gave a rigorous analysis.

In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with EDG's lineup in the second game, but it depends on how they play.

BBD is definitely not as suppressive as Lin Ruo.

"Yes, EDG is still centered around Scout in this game, so Zz1tai needs to pay more attention in the early stages. Rookie's intention to pick Ahri is very obvious." Rita then spoke.

Wang Duoduo next to him also made a few analyses.

The three chatted for a long time. As soon as the game started, EDG took advantage of the fact that Cui Shen was weak in the early stage and tried to invade the jungle to seize the red buff.

As a result, there was a collapse and they were beaten 1 for 3.

EDG was about to be defeated in the early stage.

Rita suddenly felt that all her words were in vain, as EDG did not play by the rules at all.

Green God was relatively easy to bully at level 1, but EDG's vision was not in place, and he was surrounded by Duke Shen's triangle grass, which put him at a disadvantage.

Just over 20 minutes later, EDG was trailing 0:2.

"EDG, why don't you try to lift Lin Ruo up in the next game?" Wang Duoduo said.

"Well, the possibility of replacing him is not high, but I think we have to replace Mouse at least no matter what. I feel that the tacit understanding between the factory manager and Audi is indeed a bit low." Rita thought for a while and said.

Lin Ruo may not come up.

Because there was no training at all in the past few days, we had a brief chat yesterday, and Rita still knew some inside information.

EDG is so useless. What a crappy top laner. He's not even as good as Mouse. He can't even start a teamfight when playing a tank.

[The top laner doesn't open up, and Zz1tai doesn't open up either, EDG is back to their cowardly days. ]

[Don't be so mean, how does Zz1tiao open Lee Sin? ]

[We lost, so we lost. I didn't have much hope in the first place. There's no way the second team's AD could win.]

There wasn't much of a problem with BBD's performance. I felt like IG played really well. YM, the black jungler, was really good. He was so comfortable playing the Green God. He was really good at protecting the mid lane.

[He's just black, not black.]

[Luckily, Ning's best skill is actually Zach.]

[Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go to the West Heaven to bring up Lin Laofo, EDG is going to collapse.]

[Hold the hammer, Lin Gou is playing against the King of Glory. ]

【real or fake? 】

[Really? Before the game started, the camera showed the EDG locker room. Lin Ruo was sitting in the corner, having so much fun playing that the director immediately cut away.]

[This is so funny! Looks like Lin Ruo didn't even think about playing. EDG is doomed.]

[The Spring Season champion and runner-up were both defeated 3:0, quite unusual.]

In the IG lounge.

Ning feels good about himself now.

"Fuck, no one told me I could beat MSI champions EDG as soon as I entered the LPL."

"It feels a bit good, what's going on?"

The water dispenser manager, A Shui, thought this was very pretentious.

"EDG hasn't played their main force yet, so stop bragging. You'll be in good shape once Lin Ruo comes up and bullies you."

"They probably won't use Lin Ruo. I haven't seen him in the recent training matches. They will most likely use Mouse." Rookie said happily.

After being demoted to Youshen, it was rare for the team to have a serious jungler, and Rouji felt ten years younger.

Kid in the corner was thinking about what to eat after the score was 3:0.

It’s okay to sit on the bench, at least the scenery is nice.

He was secretly happy that Marge didn't get kicked.

"Theshy, put you on next." Mafa held his notebook and made a substitution arrangement without thinking. It was time to let the other top laner in the team experience the strength of LPL.

Theshy smiled shyly upon hearing this.

"It's okay, it's fine with me."
