LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 202: 15-minute quick push to advance to the finals. If I don’t win, I will lead EDG back.
In the LMS lounge, the entire M17 team was sweating profusely, staring at the big screen nervously. They collectively transformed into an advanced version of Letme, their hands shaking uncontrollably.

"Aren't we the fourth seed in LMS? Why are we playing against the first seed in LPL?"

This is a joke. They've always been beaten to a pulp by FlashWarriors in the LMS, leaving them powerless to fight back. Now they're being asked to play against a team that beat FlashWarriors...

It doesn't make sense. What's their status? What's our status? We can't fight at all.

第一把结束后说好的3：0呢，没3：0那就被3：0不好吗？
There is no need to be crazy and just want to win that game, so the big boss comes out to torture his own people.

Everyone in M17 didn't want to go up at all.

Similarly, when the audience in Kaohsiung City learned that M17 was the last hope of LMS, and that the strong enemy they were about to face was the MSI champion EDG, who had trampled on FW and punched SKT, they felt as desperate as if they had heard that Wang Junkai was going to save the world.

After all kinds of psychological struggles, the starting five members of M17 finally stepped onto the stage tremblingly.

The fourth game of the Asian Challenge semi-finals kicked off quietly and indifferently.

The audience in the stands were silent, having long lost the excitement they had after the first game.

EDGvsM17.

The fact that they stayed put shows their greatest tolerance and understanding towards the teams in their own region.

"For this match, um, let's trust M17." On the commentary stand, after repeated inner struggles, Char Siu finally spoke bravely.

Then... the camera cuts to the contestants' seats.

Char Siu immediately retracted his thought: "Just pretend I didn't say anything, don't believe it."

At this time, the five members of M17 had different expressions.

Top laner 3Z rubbed his hands vigorously, trying to relieve the embarrassment of physiological hand tremors.

Jungler Taizan was asking the referee if he could go to the bathroom to calm down.

The most tense situation is the bottom lane duo.

"We shouldn't be solo-killed ten times in this round."

"Probably not. We probably won't be able to hold on until then."

"Don't worry, if you win you won't lose, and if you lose you'll make a lot of money." Mid laner Apes tried his best to comfort his teammates.

The coach looked at him strangely. He was so panicked that he even said the words wrong. You're not worried, are you?

Soon, the BP on both sides began.

M17, who had the priority to choose the side, took the initiative to choose the blue side and took the initiative to seize the spider at the beginning.

Everyone in M17 breathed a sigh of relief.

Spider, the tower-diving maniac, didn't give the enemy any advantage, so he shouldn't be killed too badly this time.

On the EDG side, they locked down Kalista and Thresh without hesitation, and the bottom lane was finished with just a few moves.

There was a Rumble in the top lane, the jungler locked the excavator, and facing M17's Ahri in the middle lane, Scout took out Lu San's knee and was happy.

"EDG's lineup is good in all three lanes. The good news is that Taizan's Spider might be easy to catch in the early game. The bad news is that it might be a buy-one-get-one-free situation. I hope Varus and Gallo in the bottom lane can hold their own."

Char Siu was worried about M17.

Everyone in M17 was also worried about themselves.

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

The map flickered, and M17 kept pinging various locations, taking a defensive stance at the beginning to deal with possible invasion from EDG.

Fortunately, EDG did not choose to invade.

But choose...

"Is the factory director here in just two levels?"

Ball Z frowned. It was really inconvenient for the excavator to catch people at level 2 and dig tunnels without the E skill.

But the factory still took action without hesitation.

After beating the red, catch it at level two.

3Z Crocodile was still pushing the line when he saw a black shadow appear along the river wall. Fortunately, he had the E skill, but there was no enemy unit that he could use to move.

As he was hesitating, a harpoon hit him.

3Z decisively used flash and retreated, aiming directly at the excavator that was coming up, and took the opportunity to retreat with the second stage of E.

But the astute factory manager had already anticipated his thoughts, and he kept his distance and did not rush to attack.

The scorching flames burned his face, and the second harpoon came towards him, with Rambo chasing closely.

When 3Z finally couldn't bear it anymore and used E, death was already inevitable.

Flash open the top and grill the crocodile.

In less than 3 minutes, EDG got the first blood.

The camera turned and the EDG bottom lane duo followed closely behind to complete the line kill.

Thresh used a simple and unpretentious hook, and he rushed forward and swung it to ignite. Lin Ruo slid to his face and followed up with the output, inserting countless spears.

Dreamer was so nervous that he dodged and pulled back immediately.

He was only at level two and all he learned was W to make a grand appearance and consume the opponent's opponent's energy. He didn't have the E skill to touch his teammates.

Lin Ruo dodged with his backhand and followed suit.

As soon as Luo Gang walked under the tower, he was killed by a full spear.

"Such an easy lane kill! This is the current Kalista. Even the healer can't withstand that burst."

Barbecued pork looked calm.

As long as he is mentally prepared, he will not show unnecessary sadness.

The bottom lane was already a little collapsed, and then it collapsed drastically. As soon as the soldiers entered the tower, the EDG duo suddenly turned their attention to Varus who was alone under the tower. Spider had just appeared in the middle lane and killed Scout, so they had no reason not to attack.

Tian Ye, who was in good health, first swung close, then predicted and used Q backward, successfully catching Varus who was trying to dodge and use E to escape the attack.

This hook is destined to kill you.

Varus and Thresh finally completed the exchange.

As for the soldiers under the tower, M17ADdee didn't get a single bite and couldn't destroy them anymore.

"You won't let me kill minions at level 2? Are EDG being too ruthless?"

"I feel like Taizan's judgment was flawed. What's the point of ganking Lucian? He should have looked at the bottom lane from the start, otherwise he would have been pushed all the way."

Char Siu couldn't help but sigh.

Ball Z couldn't stand it anymore.

It wasn't until he saw the next scene that his weak heart could no longer bear it.

Thresh went to the middle lane at level 3.

The M17 duo who died one after another went online first and took the opportunity to push two waves to the front of the EDG tower.

Greedy Varus and Luo watched Thresh emerge in the middle lane to confront the spider that was captured for the second time, and even tried to go up and hit the tower twice.

How could Lin Ruo, who was equipped with a recurve bow and straw sandals, bear it? He entered the tower and attacked Luo Lian with two A attacks while jumping forward.

Luo used his E skill to move the opponent, and Lin Ruo took advantage of this opportunity to attack Varus before he left the tower.

She turned around and used AE to kill the minion and refresh her E skill. Kalista's steps were still outside, and the tearing effect caused the two people outside the range to suffer different degrees of health reduction and slowdown.

Having achieved his goal, Lin Ruo continued to attack, jumping forward with a Q, and the spear pierced Varus.

Varus turned around and attacked each other with E to slow them down. Coincidentally, the blue team's next wave of soldiers came up. Lin Ruo used the soldiers to attack close to his face and moved to the right to avoid it. Then he moved forward and attacked again. He turned around and retreated with AE soldiers and then used Tearing.

The straw sandals greatly increased his sensitivity.

The support Dreamer, who was almost dumbfounded, used the second stage to protect Varus's health.

He didn't dare to go up and lift it, fearing that Kalista would dodge it again, and shouted, "Let's go."

Dee was furious. He was so humiliated that he almost started to doubt whether he was a professional player. "Why are you leaving? The laners are coming up to clear them."

Lin Ruo used AE and AAE to tear and twist left and right to clear the soldiers in front of him. When he saw the gap and killed the soldiers, he shot out with his precise spear and pierced Varus again.

Dee finally gave in. He couldn't handle this soldier at all.

At the same time, DreamerW made a grand appearance. This Kalista was too arrogant, and he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to beat her up.

Then... what greeted him was the empty skill.

Lin Ruo seemed to be constantly attacking Varus, but in fact his target was always waiting for Luo.

As soon as Shanda made his debut, Luo could not help but become his prey before his E skill was refreshed.

After a mad pursuit and seven or eight consecutive attacks, Lin Ruo's borrowed soldiers were torn apart twice, and Luo's health dropped significantly, and all the soldiers were cleared.

Refresh skills and touch people to return to teammates.

Dreamer was completely terrified.

The two of them were pushed back to the tower by one person.

Thresh arrives.

There are only two options for M17.

Either retreat without taking any soldiers, or defend under the tower.

Dee hasn't made a choice yet, but his hesitation has already made a judgment for them in advance.

Tian Ye entered the tower and exchanged one for two.

Dee looked at the number of people he had registered and couldn't feel happy at all.

He didn't seem to be at a disadvantage with 2-2.

But compared to Kalista who was 4–0 and had a 30-hit lead, it was a huge loss.

In 7 minutes, the next tower was completely destroyed.

The previous tower didn't fall, but the crocodile also exploded, and before reaching level 6, it was hit by two waves of excavators.

Rambo was originally suppressing him, and now he has to suppress him even more fiercely.

Jungler Taizan finally decided to come to the bottom lane, but after giving away a kill, he never dared to come again.

The factory manager shifted his focus, and M17's defense tower was falling rapidly. EDG wanted to take the dragon, resources, and kills, and invaded the wild area frantically.

【It’s stable, we are stable. 】

[Can you surrender at 15? Fine me if you want.]

[I can't even get this much pleasure playing in bronze.]

[The toy crocodile, covered in fur, was teleported down and strung to death.]

[Stop killing! If you continue, we'll disband.]

It is not known whether M17 will disband after the game, but the number of people in the LMS official live broadcast room has been decreasing.

"EDG got the Rift Herald in 14 minutes. Why did they get it so early? They wanted to get to the high ground, right?"

Char Siu thought to himself, having already guessed EDG's intentions.

Sure enough, half a minute later, the red team gathered on a large scale and attacked the bottom lane high ground.

"EDG doesn't want to end it 16 minutes ago, right?" Ball Z said a little confusedly, glanced at Char Siu, and then stared at the big screen in a daze.

Rambo's red-hot barbecue falls.

EDG launched an attack on M17 in front of the front tower.

The crocodile entered the scene.

Crocodiles were dressed as hedgehogs.

EDG exchanged kills with M17 like a wolf or a tiger.

After a wave of team fights, Lin Ruo, who managed to survive to the end, almost felt his hands sore from pressing.

With the surviving Lucian, the two top-level low-health enemies destroyed the crystal in one wave.

The time is fixed at 15 minutes and 59 seconds.

The M17 did not make it past the 16-minute mark.

"We congratulate EDG for winning this game and advancing to tomorrow's match against LCK."

Char Siu sighed heavily, "EDG, they're truly terrifying."

In the backstage lounge, all the FW members looked helpless.

What a miserable loss.

I wondered if I shouldn't have won the first one.

Otherwise, how could our family be humiliated to this extent.

"We've made it to the finals."

On the EDG player bench.

After taking off his headphones, A Guang couldn't help but sigh.

Originally they hadn't planned to play today, but FW did something and forced them to come up and work overtime.

Since we are working overtime, we must move faster.

Tian Ye looked at the double-digit record and couldn't help but complain: "You're killing too hard."

"It's okay, go shake hands." Lin Ruo took a sip of water and glanced at the audience. Most of the audience had left, and since there were still a few left, it meant that he didn't do anything too extreme.

He is still humane.

In just 16 minutes of confrontation, Lin Ruo was very tired. The main reason was that the hero Kalista required too much energy. He had to press E frantically to clear a soldier from the beginning to the end.

Everyone stood up to shake hands.

The five members of M17 were numb to the extreme.

This unbearable past has become their eternal pain.

When the five EDG players came to the center of the field and bowed, there were very few people in the audience, let alone any applause.

They successfully broke up LMS.

"That's going really fast. There's no LMS team in the finals tomorrow. I wonder if there won't be any spectators."

Tian Ye, who stepped down, was worried.

The factory manager smiled softly: "You're overthinking it. They're so excited to see us lose to the LCK."

Tian Ye thought about it and agreed.

Back in the locker room, everyone, including the coaches, gathered together excitedly.

Although reaching the finals seems inevitable, it is still a very happy experience.

Besides WE…

"Thanks to you, otherwise we would have become the sinners of LPL." Xiye's face was heavy.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean it's EDG's fault? Even if we lose this game, RNG can still play against FW in the extra game."

mlxg cursed and swore, but he was tough after the fight.

Icon also said: "We OMG will have no problem playing in the extra game."

mlxg couldn't help but taunt: "Stop bragging, forgot about M17? EDG is like playing against bots, and you still lose."

Icon showed off his tattoos and dragged the greasy-haired guy to a corner for a real-life solo. You're the one who talks too much, right?

Lin Ruo turned around and patted Xiye: "I will forgive you if you beat an LCK team tomorrow."

This is not pressure, this is naked encouragement.

...

After the game, a brief post-game interview followed.

Although the LPL commentators did not come to Taiwan, several hosts responsible for interviews were there.

Behind the scenes of the interview room, Xiaoyu changed her usual behavior and her eyes were full of admiration for Lin Ruo.

"You look so handsome today, Kalista."

Lin Ruo smiled slightly and said lovingly, "You like it, then I will often play it for you in the competition in the future."

"Is this true?" Xiaoyu was very surprised.

"Of course it's fake, you wishful thinking." Lin Ru laughed openly.

If you want to see it, just go find Rookie.

Xiaoyu's face changed and she almost died of anger. She became the bickering boy who was arguing with Lin Ruo again.

If you believe Lin Ruo again in the future, she will be a dog.

Thinking of the interview mission, Xiaoyu's face quickly changed and she smiled again: "Hi, everyone watching before the live broadcast, welcome to today's post-match interview. We have invited EDG bottom laner Lin Ruo to come and say hello to everyone."

"Hello everyone, I'm EDG's bottom laner Lin Ruo."

As soon as Lin Ruo appeared, everyone in the live broadcast room was attracted.

[See? This is my elder brother. I’m his fan.]

[Come back soon to start live streaming. I just got paid 3 yuan. I'm rich now. I can give you three big swords.]

[It's too early to farm now. If we win tomorrow, I'll farm ten big swords for Lin Shen. I'm a puppy if you lie.]

After winning the championship: Wangwang, I'm sorry, I'm such a dog.

[The God of LPL, I have never seen such a fierce man in LPL. ]

【Now you see it, don’t you?】

Therefore, it is God.

[I won't say any more. I'm in a hurry. Just say a few dirty words and I'm leaving.]

Faced with the lively barrage of comments, Lin Ruo was used to it.

Xiaoyu was very confused: "Your opening remarks today were so lame, I thought you..."

"You thought I was going to start with that resume-style opening statement again, right?"

Lin Ruo snorted and said disdainfully: "It's enough to play awkwardly once. If it happens too many times, you will complain again."

"alright."

Xiaoyu began the first question step by step: "Today we also defeated LMS and entered the finals. Regarding the pre-match lineup, how did you arrange the lineup? There must have been a lot of preparation behind the scenes."

One of the characteristics of this intercontinental competition is the arrangement of the order of appearance, which, if used well, can even increase the probability of winning for one's own region.

Xiaoyu could naturally imagine the effort the four teams had put into it.

Lin Ruo nodded, looking at Xiaoyu's expectant expression, he just found it very funny: "Do you really want me to tell you?"

"Is there any arrangement that can't be told? But the game is over." Xiaoyu was puzzled.

Well, you forced me to say it.

Lin Ruo then said frankly: "We drew lots and were lined up in ten minutes. Isn't it fast?"

When Xiaoyu heard this, her smile froze and she felt as if struck by lightning.

"You guys have to know how to play."

"Please rest assured, fans, we will definitely not arrange the finals according to the lottery." Lin Ruo did not forget to add after saying this.

[Hahaha, many people on Tieba were making plans for the semi-finals lineups, but after the game, Lin Gou just said, "Just arrange them randomly and that's it."]

[This is so funny! I'm almost pregnant from laughing! Even playing against LMS requires arranging troops and formations?]

[Damn, I never thought it would be arranged like this.]

[The moment I saw the order of battle, I thought of a thousand reasons, and then you told me it was a draw...]

Speechless, Xiaoyu quickly fast-forwarded to the next question: "What was it like for the four teams to get together for the first time to discuss and plan the game?"

"I don't think it's a big deal. If there is any, it's just that it's really crowded with so many people together."

Lin Ruo complained ruthlessly.

The lounge is a bit small.

He envied the spacious room of the coaching staff next door.

Lin Ruo always answers questions in an unconventional way, but fortunately Xiaoyu thinks she is used to it.

"Then one last question. Tomorrow is the final against LCK. What are your expectations?"

Face this problem.

Lin Ruo smiled naturally, then straightened his expression and said, "Don't worry, the champion will definitely be our LPL. There is no other possibility."

Feeling the firm aura emanating from him, Xiaoyu felt for the first time that this boy was serious.

I couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Then... she found herself inexplicably believing Lin Ruo's lies again.

Because the seriousness lasted less than two seconds, Lin Ruo started to make jokes: "If I can't win the championship, I will follow the example of the LCK next door and lead EDG to swim back. Kind-hearted netizens, please prepare a route for me."

[You're already taunting me before we even start fighting, right?]

[Do you think Lin Ruo is showing a lack of confidence? In fact, he is planning to give it to the LCK after the game.]

The LCK's direction is different from ours.

[You know shit. How many years would it take to travel from Taiwan to South Korea? LCK can choose to travel to mainland China first, and then transfer to South Korea.]

[No problem, Master Lin is so considerate.]
