LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 190: Team adjustments, are we going to sit at the water cooler again?

With the start of the first week of the summer season, Lin Ruo's vacation time has been shortened a lot. For example, after playing a training match in the afternoon, he still has to watch the live game between WE and NB in ​​the opening match later.

There is no other reason. Currently, all teams are in the trial period of the version. Watching more games and gaining understanding of the version from other teams will undoubtedly be more effective.

Abbreviated as 'reference.'

Of course, if you learn from something bad, it will be a great thing to get half the result with twice the effort.

For example, in the current match between WE and NB, in addition to the top laners of Jarvan IV and Fiora who were popular in the German Cup, a new top laner, AD Kennen, who focuses on laning and solo push, has emerged.

But after three games, the effect was not significant.

WE and NB each played one game, both ending in varying degrees of failure.

"It's okay in the early laning phase, but it's impossible to carry the team later on. It's too easy for the space to be compressed. I might as well use it to continue to play in the bottom lane." Lin Ruo looked at it and commented.

"Then I won't practice." A Guang said lightly.

Tian Ye nodded: "It's okay, if you don't practice, Audi will practice, he is suitable for this type of hero."

The ecological environment of the summer season has changed a lot, especially the options in the top lane have gradually increased.

For example, the SNG top laner xiaoAL (Langxing) who appeared later used crocodile twice in a row.

One win and one loss, pretty average.

Not to mention the existing Shen, Jayce, Rumble and Kled.

The current situation on the road is far from being something that can be accommodated by three mythical gods, so the club promoted Audi as a precaution.

While it might be correct to just look at the hero pool, Audi's strength is average and not stable enough.

After two days of training matches, with A Guang at half and half, his performance was sometimes good and sometimes bad. He got carried away easily in laning phases, and was either aggressive or timid in team fights. His mentality was easily affected by mistakes.

As a newcomer, I have all the shortcomings.

Because of this, Nofe believes that more practical experience is needed and puts him on tomorrow's starting list.

As A Guang's hero pool doesn't quite match the version, he's temporarily on the bench.

It is likely that Nofe is missing the days when Semb held Jayce in his left hand and Fiora in his right hand.

I want to cultivate such a player in EDG.

Lin Ruo didn't say anything either.

Performance speaks for itself. If someone doesn't play well, just replace him. It's normal to give newcomers some opportunities.

Compared to this, Ai Loli has almost seen through the water dispenser these days. Once the factory manager returns to his form, Nofe naturally still prefers a jungler with ideas.

After the review, Lin Ruo started the live broadcast as usual and connected with Wei Shen who was gaining points.

"Brother, what do you think of the name 4AM? I woke up at a.m. this morning and had to pee urgently. I noticed the beautiful night view outside. I think it's a good omen."

"as long as you are happy."

Lin Ruo answered casually and checked the Kia server ranking. After three consecutive days of hard work, he easily made it into the top ten. However, due to Wei Shen's poor condition, he is now temporarily ranked second.

【Is Chicken Dinner also going to reach the top? 】

[I'm going to die. I'm not really going to let him achieve the achievement of reaching the top of the mountain three times.]

【If it is a human, I will eat it. 】

[DAN next door checked EDGRANK's records to research Lin Ruo, but found that there was nothing to research.]

[It's no use studying it, there's nothing Lin Gou can't play.]

[It's still worth studying. I've been playing guns all the time. In competitions, I've moved all the gun-type ADs. Lin Gou is not good at playing other types. ]

[You're making all the stupid moves, Lin Gou Ashe has a 100% win rate with a bow.]

Since there was a game tomorrow, Lin Ruo took a look at the ninth ranking of the Asian server in the early morning, said goodbye to Wei Shen on time, and got off the plane to rest.

……

6 month 9 day.

LPL Summer Split Week 1 Day 2.

Shanghai Zhengda Plaza.

There are two games in total today, namely RNG vs. OMG in the morning and EDG vs. DAN in the evening.

Before the game even started, players on Tieba and other major forums had already started making predictions about the outcome of the game. The summary is nothing more than general points.

RNG will defeat OMG.

EDG will also defeat DAN.

As the champion and runner-up of the German Cup, it also proves the current status of the two teams to a certain extent.

However, if the game always has the strong defeating the weak, there won’t be so many exciting highlights.

Therefore, RNG, which was highly expected before the game, was successfully shut out by OMG 2:0, continuing its pattern of losing the first game since the spring season.

With Brand as support in one hand and Ekko in the middle, OMG not only performed better in mid-term team battles, but also blew away RNG in the draft.

As soon as the game ended, RNG’s official Weibo was flooded with comments.

【The competition made me vomit.】

[Please stay calm and wait for Xiaohu to come back. ]

[If you don't know how to draft, just leave, it's really stinky.]

[The bottom lane couldn't carry, the top and jungle's mysterious operation gave them an opportunity, the mid lane was invisible, and they completely deserved to be defeated. ]

Amidst the passionate firing, the EDG vs. DAN match began in the spotlight.

"Hello, good evening to all the live and on-site viewers! Welcome to the 2017 LPL Summer Split. The next game is EDG vs. DAN."

"I'm commentator Guan Zeyuan."

"Wang Duoduo."

"Today's match might seem a bit disparate in terms of strength from the outside, but after watching the last match, I think we should still maintain some basic respect, because you never know..."

Guan Zeyuan started to be mean again.

Wang Duoduo carefully analyzed the lineups of both teams. "EDG's starting lineup today is slightly different. Besides Zzitai continuing to start, they also brought in newcomer Audi in the top lane. It seems EDG is trying some new changes in the early stages of the summer split."

Guan Zeyuan nodded.

While the two were talking, the contestants from both sides also went on stage smoothly.

The EDG players, wearing black uniforms, appeared on the stage amid cheers.

On the other side, the DAN team members were wearing blue and white uniforms, but there were few cheers and it seemed that no one was paying attention to them.

Perhaps the audience also noticed this and spontaneously applauded to liven up the atmosphere.

The thin bottom lane combination of DAN, QiuQiu and Cat stood on the stage with their mouths wide open.

The LPL has not been promoted in vain, the atmosphere alone is so good. It would not be so lively if you played in the LSPL, with only a hundred or so people at most.

……

Not long after.

The BP on both sides soon began.

"EDG on the blue side, DAN on the red side. EDG's third ban was given to Fiora, Zac, and Jayce."

"DAN's side eliminated Thresh, Ashe, and Lulu. Thresh is the only pick that has been on par with soft supports since the patch update. As for the other two picks, there's no need to elaborate; they're EDG's bot lane's specialties."

"Let's see if EDG takes Galio."

Guan Zeyuan spoke.

"Probably not. From what I know, Audi's hero pool is still more inclined towards offensive top laners. His focus on EDG is definitely different."

Wang Duoduo finished speaking.

EDG immediately locked onto the Piltover Policewoman in the bottom lane.

On DAN's side, they locked on the top-level pressure-resistant support Braum in the bottom lane, and the swinging Gragas in the jungle.

"These two picks look very safe, but DAN didn't immediately grab Galio. I think they should go head-to-head in the top lane. Gragas is unlikely to play top lane. Kennen has been quite restrained recently."

When it was EDG's turn, the second and third floors locked on the offensive combination of Spider and Prince respectively.

"EDG played the early game as usual, and DAN took down Shen on the third floor. It was a very obvious team-starting lineup, with Braum and Gragas. It looked very good together." Guan Zeyuan liked it more.
Wang Duoduo hit the nail on the head: "That's right, EDG needs to target them. If Dan's Kalista continues to engage in teamfights, their lineup will be better than expected."

Both sides entered the second BAN phase.

As expected, EDG suppressed the threatening Kalista on the fourth floor.

On DAN's side, there's Clockwork and Syndra.

"Let's suppress the snake girl. The opponent is suppressing two mid laners. They must be trying to grab the remaining strong lane."

On the EDG player bench.

Nofe looked at everyone seriously.

His judgment was correct. Without the snake lady, DAN was forced to lock down Kassadin in the late game.

"To fight against Kassadin, we have to use an AD mid laner. Is there any way to make him less comfortable in the early stage?" Lin Ruo asked after taking a sip of water.

As the mid laner, Scout's first thought was Lucian.

It’s definitely a blast to choose.

Thinking of this, Scout smiled slightly, rubbed his hands and looked at Lin Ruo who had just hinted at him, it was time to start the performance.

"Let's take Zed. I feel like Zed is the best against Kassadin. I used to know a streamer who played Zed, and he said beating Kassadin is as easy as drinking water."

Scout's face darkened.

Zed is not a bad choice, but he prefers Lucian, and Zed is a big gambler, and he is not on the same level as Kassadin in the later stages.

But having said that.

Lucian is also not much different.

The difference between the two is that while maintaining the same suppression on Kassadin, Zed's survivability will be much greater than Lucian's.

Looking at the opposing lineup, Shen came in and used his ultimate, and then cooperated with Gragas to explode.

If he plays Lucian, he will probably die in a matter of minutes.

"Actually, I can have a player guard against Tam who enters the field to protect me. This way, the risk of playing Lucian will be much smaller." Scout praised his own cleverness.

"Then what? Who will protect me, the policewoman?"

Lin Ruo sent a soul-searching question.

Scout was stunned. Yes, he was in the middle lane.

But the opposing lineup's ability to initiate a team fight against AD heroes is really strong.

"Then I'd better play Zed." Scout made up his mind. After all, only by being alive can he output.

Zed and Tam are EDG's last two choices.

With DAN locking down the rat, the lineups of both teams were officially finalized.

EDG on the blue side: top lane Jarvan IV, jungle Spider, mid lane Zed, bottom lane Caitlyn, support Tam.

Red side DAN: top lane Shen, jungle Gragas, mid lane Kassadin, bottom lane Twitch, support Braum.

Amidst the cheers, ten people from both sides quickly entered the Summoner's Rift.

"As expected of EDG, they have so many fans."

Even through the headphones, QiuQiu Rao could still hear sporadic shouts.

Cat laughed jokingly, "If our bottom lane gets destroyed, the shouting will be even louder."

Upon hearing this, QiuQiu didn't want to chat anymore. He bought the Doran's Shield to resist pressure and entered the jungle, helping to open the jungle at level 1 according to the strategy during the BP.

It is better not to fight against the policewoman at level one.

"Why don't these people want to play against us? RNG was like that last time too."

On the EDG player bench.

Tian Ye complained, but did not forget to take a look to avoid repeating the same mistake when mlxg was caught at level three.

"It's very simple. They don't want to fight me simply because I'm strong. Don't get me wrong, Tian Ye. It should have nothing to do with you." Lin Ruo explained slowly.

Tian Ye rolled his eyes and said, "The Blue Steel Shadow is locked behind me. You're done for if I swallow you or not."

Gragas started to brush up against the blue buff, obviously intending to take a look at the top lane.

The factory manager here is no exception.

Seeing Gragas opening the blue buff in the lower jungle area and clearing three groups of jungle in the upper half, he, who was at level 3, immediately chose to think in reverse and hide in the grass in the upper river.

It was easy for the Prince to take down the enemy first, but the immature Audi's forward movement exposed his intentions.

The tactful Qing Gangying retreated quickly.

The factory manager left disappointed and killed the river crab.

The weak Gragas didn't dare to fight for it. He left vision in the river and turned back to attack the red buff.

After a failed wave of catching people, the shrewd manager turned around and shouted at Scout to invade, driving away the barrel to take away the red buff, and occupying the jungle area in one go.

"With the Zed and Elise combination, it's no problem for Gragas to be countered as a red."

Guan Zeyuan, who was in the commentary booth, said, "Zz1tai's moves were spot-on. I knew you were going to go down and farm with your Gragas, so I won't go down either. We're going head-to-head. I'm not going to talk about the mid lane, but the key is that even after your top lane Shen reaches level 3, he can't suppress Jarvan IV. Invasion is a piece of cake."

"This is the downside of the DAN lineup. Every lane will have a hard time in the early stages."

Wang Duoduo paid special attention to the bottom lane. The laning gap was obvious and they had already started to attack the tower.

The entire DAN team was extremely vigilant.

Especially Karin's Gragas, he would rather eat less jungle and take more looks at the bottom lane.

The factory manager originally planned to find a rhythm and try to destroy the next tower in about 8 minutes.

The wine barrel tried every means to obstruct it.

This action was more or less affected by the rhythm. Although he was nearly one level ahead of the Barrel, the effect was not very good if he could not give feedback to his teammates.

The next tower has less than one-third of its health left, which looks very tempting.

But the rigorous factory manager did not choose to force the rhythm, but changed direction unexpectedly in the same way as he dealt with RNG, used the top lane to push the line and came to the second grass to counter-camp, ready to start the rhythm.

Prince Audi turned around and pretended to go to the river to place a ward to distract attention. The unaware Shen came up and actively pushed the line back.

Be patient and wait for the Prince to return. Seizing the opportunity, the factory manager accurately throws out the cocoon to control the Shen who is going forward to eat the back row soldiers. The Prince's EQ two connects and knocks him up.

Under a wave of perfectly connected control, skills poured out and Shen's health dropped rapidly.

"Dual control, this is definitely gone."

Guan Zeyuan, who was in the commentary booth, saw this and came to a firm conclusion.

At this time, Shen's health has reached a precarious point. He will die directly with a normal attack. The panicked Lies quickly fired a normal attack to trigger the physical shield, and then flashed back to hook the wall at the edge of the defense tower for a super long-distance displacement.

Audi will never let him succeed.

He calculated the damage accurately and used a normal attack followed by a big move to hit Shen, which could kill him.

But no one could have imagined what would happen next.

The prince of Demacia shouted and built an empty room.

Audi was dumbfounded.

When his ultimate skill, Skyfall, was about to hit, Shen actually managed to use his grappling hook to pull him out of the falling range, thus not suffering any damage at all.

A golden light appeared.

Audi, determined to kill, flashed into the tower and gave chase.

But even so, there is still a small distance between him and the low-health Shen.

The two-stage hook is still too far apart.

Audi, who had returned to the province, planned to go back out of the tower.

Leis, who was low on health, also turned around.

Seeing that he was within attack distance, the Prince of Demacia waved his flag and launched a powerful basic attack.

Just as it was about to fall, Shen counterattacked with his ultimate move, Hextech Ultimatum.
