LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 215 Zhu Kai: Let me scan your code
"Okay, that's all for today's class. Next class, everyone... Oh, no, there's no next class."

In the EDG training room.

Lin Ruo, who almost said something wrong, corrected himself in time and waved his hand, saying, "You have already started your apprenticeship, go ahead and perform your best."

"Also, if you don't perform well out there, don't say it was my fault."

[Okay, I've learned it. Thank you, Teacher Lin.]

[I learned it too, but why did I get crushed in 5 minutes after playing a simple AI game?]

[You didn't learn it, you failed. Unlike me, it took me 10 minutes to break it.]

[A mediocre teacher, after listening to the explanation for a long time, all I know is that the black piece goes first, but the first move is useless.]

[After all this time studying, you know the black guys will go first? Buddy, can you clear your head first?]

"After all, everyone's physique is different. You can't expect to learn in just a short time like I did. Diligence can make up for lack of talent, so just practice more."

Facing the questioning comments, Lin Ruo patiently explained, then cursed: "Tam, it's free, what else do you want? You're asking for more."

"What are you looking at? Is Go something you should learn? Practice hard."

Ai Loli nodded obediently.

Big brother is right, but... I didn’t watch it.

Lin Ruo, who had been live streaming for the entire afternoon, had just gotten off the computer when he heard Wei Shen’s WeChat call and his earnest voice after the call was connected.

"Dude, I learned it. Let's play chess."

"What chess? I don't want to play." Lin Ruo replied feeling sleepy.

"No, you're already tired of it after just one afternoon?" This shelf life is really short. Wei Shen suddenly felt that he was at a loss. Wouldn't it be a waste of his hard work...

Lin Ruo shook his head: "It's not that I'm tired, it's just that I've been playing for too long and I'm tired."

"So that's how it is." Wei Shen felt much more relieved.

The next moment, he reacted and yelled, "Fuck! Does that mean you're not playing tonight? But you promised me we'd play PUBG in duo queue."

"Of course I know, so I decided to play with you for half an hour to fulfill my promise before going to sleep."

This didn't make Wei Shen happy at all. What's the difference between just playing for half an hour and pitying him?

"Brother, if you keep doing this, you might as well just go to sleep." Wei said angrily.

"Okay." Lin Ruo hung up the phone in seconds.

It was Wei Shen who said that, not him. He has always been willing to listen to opinions.

Wei Shen was extremely angry outside the phone and felt that his trust had been betrayed.

until…

The next day, Lin Ruo called him to eat chicken as soon as he got up.

"It seems that this kid was really sleepy yesterday."

Regardless of having fought all night, Wei Shen still started his duo-queue journey with full energy.

It’s okay, he can still hang up and sleep in the game.

Anyway, with Lin Ruo here, it doesn’t make any difference if he’s missing.

This is indeed the case. Wei Shen truly achieved the most representative easy win in history.

Even if he falls asleep on his computer desk with the game on, there is still someone who can take him to victory.

Lin Ruo worked until noon, had lunch, and got off the plane, and later attended the training match at 2 pm on time.

Then in the evening, he returned to the diligent and unremitting development of the emerging Go business.

I used to watch Lin Gou's live stream for fun, but now I watch it because I can't sleep and it helps me sleep.

[It's still more comfortable to kill one kid at a time.]

[If you can't do that, you can play LoL. Don't play Go anymore. It's tiring just watching me.]

For many people who do not play Go for fun, this is undoubtedly very painful news.

After all, Go tests one's patience too much.

It seems that Lin Ruo is patient and persists for three consecutive days until the day of the competition.

...

7 month 13 day.

After the LPL rematch, EDG ushered in its first game since the Intercontinental Championship.

17 pm.

Everyone took a car to arrive at Zhengda Plaza early.

As soon as he got off the car, he was welcomed by the Pig Pig fans who came from the outer area to wait for him.

Since the Intercontinental Championship, EDG, especially Lin Ruo's popularity has reached a new level, which has inevitably made the difficulty of this game even greater.

In the past, Lin Ruo could easily get through as a newcomer with no fame, as long as he could avoid the few traffic tycoons in the team in time.

it's good now.

He himself is the most famous one.

Lin Ruo looked around with great sigh, and was surrounded by female fans shouting and screaming, which made him dizzy and dizzy.

It took a lot of effort, and Lin Ruo didn't even know how he managed to get through with his life.

"The railings need to be raised a bit, or someone could flip over them." As he entered the square, he did not forget to give the LPL staff some suggestions for improvement.

The staff nodded.

It has to be turned around to create a public opinion gimmick.

The EDG team then entered the inner passage. Their opponent today was their neighbor Snake's family, who were good at getting the takeout orders wrong.

The familiar Lingshi Road battle, the familiar EDG vs Snake.

EDG is currently ranked first in Group A with a score of 6–0.

Snake's performance was equally impressive, with a strong comeback of 1-5 to lead the last place in Group A, and on par with JDG, the last place in Group B. The results were reassuringly stable compared to the Spring Split.

Zhu Kai was not fired, and Snake's performance was still so satisfying.

Seeing that Snake was on the verge of relegation, Lin Ruo regretted telling Kenzhu to pay attention to the Internet Cafe Team. Now it seemed as if he had harmed the entire Snake Club.

But it doesn’t matter. Zhu Kai didn’t participate in the summer season that year, and the Snake team, which changed its head coach, was only second to last.

The last two teams have to play relegation matches, so there is really no big difference.

And who knows, Zhu Kai might explode later and lead the team to the third from the bottom.

Of course, as long as they couldn't make the playoffs, nothing would stop Zhu Kai from leaving after the summer split. After all, the Snake team was a strong contender for Worlds last year, and this year's descent into the bottom of the heap was unacceptable to any sane management team.

Zhu Kai also knew this.

As soon as I entered the internal passage of Zhengda Plaza, I couldn't wait to start working on improving the team.

"Ahem, Lin Ruo, I heard that you've been focusing on Go lately. To be honest, I used to be a Go enthusiast as well."

Lin Ruo listened to the flattery in his words, folded his hands in front of him and nodded, "So, what exactly do you want to say, Coach Zhu Kai?"

"Recently...it's been a while since we last discussed BP and made progress together." Zhu Kai said with a sad face.

In the spring season, thanks to Lin Ruo's guidance, he led the team to six wins. Even if they did not make it to the playoffs, they were not at all in the fight for relegation.

When the summer season came, Zhu Kai had planned to start over and embark on a great new journey. However, after half a season had passed, without Lin Ruo's help, Zhu Kai's performance level remained the same.

There is absolutely no hope.

As a result, he quickly recognized the reality and changed his battle strategy.

"It's not a big deal." Lin Ruo took out his cell phone.

Zhu Kai understood immediately and opened WeChat to scan.

Lin Ruo frowned in surprise: "What are you doing? I'm just checking the time."

Zhu Kai had a knowing expression on his face. After all, there was a match with EDG today, which was really inconvenient.

So he settled for the next best thing and said, "I'll call you brother, but please be gentle later, I'm afraid."

Lin Ruo reluctantly agreed.

He will take some time to test the team's integration with the Korean powerhouse Ohq. If they still haven't integrated well after the spring season, it would be really amazing.

When the whole team arrived at the long-missed lounge.

The first game between OMG and NB has ended in the morning, with the former temporarily trailing 0:1.

Lin Ruo knew that it was unlikely that the trajectory of historical development would deviate unexpectedly from its track.

OMG has been in a slump since returning from the Intercontinental Championship, losing three out of five games, and it looks like this time will be the same.

After all, the team's problems were clearly revealed as early as the Intercontinental Championship, and defeat has always been just a matter of time.

"Brother Lin, do you think OMG can be turned over?"

"I don't know, I just hope the game ends soon so we can play sooner and get back to the club sooner."

Lin Ruo took out his schoolbag, opened it, searched briefly, took out the chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces, and patiently placed them on the table in the lounge.

"Stinky boy, is your addiction really that bad?"

Abu was stunned and said angrily, "There's no one here to play chess with you."

"I don't play chess."

Lin Ruo smiled, took out a chess piece, and then put the others back into the bag. He then focused on picking up the chess piece and tried to put it gently on the chessboard.

Just keep repeating the action.

He is learning the Go stone-holding gestures, which are the basic techniques of playing the game.

Because he has been playing online chess these days, he doesn't really understand the rules of holding the pieces.

But now I probably understand.

Hold the chess piece with your middle finger on top and index finger on the bottom, and gently place your palm on the chessboard with your hand facing down.

After practicing for about 10 minutes, Lin Ruo, having accomplished his task, satisfiedly put away the chessboard and put it back into his bag, then lay comfortably on the sofa.

"It's enough to just bully her online, but you really want to do it offline, right?" Ai Loli saw through Lin Ruo's thoughts at a glance.

Lin Ruo shook his head and smiled faintly: "You know, making money is never a shameful thing."

Yesterday he participated in the SH city's ranking competition online, which consisted of answering some theoretical knowledge questions and playing two games online. He then easily reached the basic level 12.

Lin Ruo planned to use his spare time to work hard to get an amateur rank certificate. After all, if he got to the next level, people would give him gifts every day. In order to fulfill his fans' wishes, he would go through fire and water without hesitation.

After thinking about it, Lin Ruo closed his eyes and began to rest as usual.

Because the game ended too quickly, Lin Ruo didn't get much time to rest.

With united efforts, OMG suffered an unprecedented 25-minute sweep in the second game. Their performance on the field once made NB look like a god of war.

I felt like I was under a spell after the Intercontinental Championship. What the hell was that?

Did the loss to MVP unleash the potential of all OMG members?

[Serves them right. Who made us lose to OMG, who shouldn't have lost.]

New fans are still surprised, but veteran fans are already used to it. OMG's regular season is a slump for the first half.

[It's just one game, so it's not a big deal. We have a big lead, so we can slowly adjust later.]

[At first... everyone thought it was just a normal defeat, but you guys know what happened later.]

[I feel like EDG is going to have a meltdown today. Look at where Lin Ruo is messing around with Go every day.]

[I believe what you said, but it's a pity that EDG used sanke to make it impossible for even Lin Ruo to lose.]

...

"Hello, good evening to everyone watching live and before the broadcast! Welcome to the fifth week of the 2017 LPL Summer Split regular season. Tonight's final match will be between EDG and Snake, a truly spectacular 'highlight.'"

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan, who was in charge of today's commentary, had just finished his commercial when he immediately started to tease: "Both teams are first, but one is the Northern Expedition and the other is the Southern Expedition..."

Beside him, his commentator partner Rita nodded and commented, "After nearly a week's rest, I believe Snake should have adjusted somewhat. After all, they were in a similar predicament early on in the Spring Split, and then Coach Zhu Kai led the team to a winning streak."

"Ah, what you said is quite coincidental. The game before Snake changed his playstyle in the Spring Split was also against EDG. I wonder if the same thing will happen again after today."

Guan Zeyuan said excitedly.

Rita smiled beautifully. "It's hard to say, but EDG's form shouldn't be much different since the Intercontinental Championship. After all, they've proven in these few games that they've adapted very well to the early meta."

...

In the EDG lounge.

Everyone is ready and eager to go. Today the team's starting lineup has been slightly changed, and Ai Loli is playing in the jungle position.

After sitting on the bench for nearly a month, Ai Loli finally escaped from the water dispenser and recovered, ready to face the next game with full fighting spirit.

After completing the final on-the-spot tactical arrangements, at the referee's reminder, the group left the lounge and went onto the main stage.

"Let's welcome the EDG team!" led by the host Yu Shuang's loud voice.

The scene was still filled with cheers, and the popularity of the victorious EDG almost crushed Snake.

After briefly greeting the audience, everyone quickly sat down in their respective seats.
