LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 225 Promotion, I, Lin Ruo, will be transferred to EDG Head Coach from today

Today's regular season came to an end amid the celebrations of the piglet army waving flags and shouting.

After bowing, the EDG team packed up their peripherals as usual and returned to the backstage lounge, then got on a business car that left Zhengda Plaza.

"We advanced four rounds early, so we should at least have a good meal tonight to celebrate."

Excited A Guang leaned back in his chair and thought, "Why don't we go to the same hot pot restaurant as last time? It's near Lingshi Road and the food is delicious there."

"Sure, I can do anything." Scout agreed in fluent Wuhan dialect. As long as he didn't have to go back to eat the pig food in the cafeteria, it would be better than anything else.

Compared to discussing the issue of eating, Lin Ruo and they were thinking about something different.

"Securing first place in the group and advancing to the semi-finals early, I can rest more later."

Hearing this, Abu in the front seat suddenly glared.

Tian Ye couldn't help but start complaining, "No, you don't get enough rest a day, do you? Three hours of training plus two hours of review, that's only five hours of work time. And we still have to play five hours of ranked matches a day?"

He didn't know where Lin Ruo got the courage to say this.

You are humiliating the workers here, right?

"Yeah, even if we need to rest, it's us, okay, Brother Lin, what's your business?"

Ah Guang said with a chuckle, but he was naturally not happy about taking a real rest. Although Audi was about to be transferred to the second team, he hadn't been transferred yet, hadn't he?

The pressure of starting still exists for him, and focusing on the next game is what he must do.

"It's my fault for being so talented."

Lin Ruo shrugged and spread his hands. Suddenly, he smiled and looked at the front row and said, "Boss Bu, I remember there's a pretty good AD from the club's youth training camp."

Abu couldn't stand it any longer, so he turned around and said angrily, "You little bastard, you're still selecting talents for the club now, right?"

His original intention was to mock Lin Ruo for meddling in other people's business.

Abu never expected that Lin Ruo would actually be so complacent: "That's right. Besides being a player, I also have to work with Coach Nofe on draft decisions, and now I'm helping the club find talent. Boss Bu, you really should give me three salaries."

Holding his forehead, Abu turned away with a headache, then suddenly turned back and asked, "Which AD from the youth training camp are you talking about?"

"Isn't there a guy named iboy? Bring him up for some practice. Even though his skills are definitely not up to par with a top talent like me, I think he could at least be a starter for a top-six team in the LPL. Playing a few games, he might even fetch a good price next year."

Abu seriously suspected that Lin Ruo wanted to be lazy, but he had to think about the last sentence.

iboy does have some talent, but the club already has Lin Ruo, so no matter how strong he is, he can only compare to him.

Unless Lin Ruo's condition deteriorates sharply, iboy will definitely not have any chance to appear on the stage.

Wouldn't that be a waste?

If he can hone his skills during the insignificant final period of the regular season, and continue training in the German Cup after the World Championship, once he can show his ability to not be afraid of the stage, even if he cannot stay in the club in the future, it will definitely be a sure win to buy him for a good price.

Abu was a little moved.

However, everything still needs to focus on keeping the main lineup in shape so that they can compete in the upcoming World Championship. If the overall state of the team is affected by rash rotations in order to train new players, the result will undoubtedly be more harm than good.

...

Soon, the team arrived at Lingshi Road.

It is undoubtedly a happy thing to win the first place in the regular season and advance to the semi-finals in advance.

Abu had no objection to having a good meal out to celebrate, and he took the initiative to lead the team to a newly opened Cantonese restaurant with a large flow of people nearby and booked a private room for them.

"I'll order."

Ai Loli picked up the menu and was quite tempted by the wide variety of dishes on it. The roasted pork belly with bamboo shoots and the medicinal stew with lamb shanks and bones looked delicious at first glance.

This is no more comfortable than simply eating hot pot.

Mr. Bu is wise.

"No one can get to the table unless the MVP starts eating." Tian Ye joked while taking photos and checking in the dishes.

"Alright, if Tian Ye doesn't start eating, I won't start eating either. After all, the Censer playstyle doesn't rely on AD. Our Meiko is the rightful MVP."

Lin Ruo turned the tables, took out his mobile phone and turned on the offline live broadcast, and the audience came in sparsely.

[The eating broadcast version of Lin Ruo is resurrected? 】

[This is not a food show, this is a store exploration version. ]

[So what kind of shop is this? For the sake of Lin Shen, I'll take some time to come and try it.]

"Hey, today I want to perform a three-bite-and-a-pig show for everyone. Want to see it? Give me some gifts and I'll eat it for you to see."

Lin Ruo was just joking.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of people taking the live broadcast seriously, and the number of gifts skyrocketed as if they were free.

Comments like 'give me food' quickly flooded the comments.

Looking at the roast suckling pig brought by the waiter, Lin Ruo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Half an hour later.

#林若嘴大# became the top hot search term on Weibo.

...

After returning to the club at 22 p.m., Lin Ruo went to the toilet to get some rest, and then sat in front of the computer with some lactic acid bacteria vitamins that aided digestion.

After starting the daily live broadcast, Lin Ruo, who was refreshed, began to play as usual. He first logged into the Rock Kingdom to complete the sign-in task, and then attacked the landlord, fought zombies, and switched back and forth among various puzzle games.

Only after completing all the tasks, and causing a lot of headaches for netizens, did they start playing PUBG.

"You won the first place in the Asian server again after winning PUBG?" Ai Loli beside her poked her head out.

Because of the delay in the last intercontinental competition and the fact that Lin Ruo didn’t log in for four consecutive days, his points dropped very quickly.

He just didn't expect that he would be promoted again so soon.

Gaining points is not just as easy as drinking water, it is as easy as breathing.

Sure enough, the gap between people is huge.

Because he came back too late from the game, Lin Ruo got off the plane not long after playing today.

He still listened to Abu very much. He went to bed early and got up early to be in good spirits. The body was the capital of revolution, and one should not indulge in temporary pleasure and end up exhausted.

11am the next day.

As soon as Lin Ruo, who was full of energy, stepped into the training room, he saw a thin figure sitting in the corner trying hard to score points. From time to time, he would observe the surrounding environment and speak shyly to Tian Ye.

"I've brought the guy here. You'll play him half and half in the afternoon training match. I'll see how he performs."

The elusive Abu always appears when Lin Ruo is unaware.

Lin Ruo readily accepted: "Okay, maybe the club will have another talented AD."

As the words fell in the training room, iboy subconsciously turned around and glanced at Lin Ruo.

My emotions are extremely complicated.

It was his sworn enemy for the starting position who offered to promote him to the first team for a trial. What a great plot...

As expected, EDG won all four training matches in the afternoon. Lin Ruo started the two games and performed as usual, and the team was in excellent shape.

The stunned iboy had his firsthand experience of Lin Ruo's strength. This state was too terrifying.

It was his turn to perform. Although he was nervous during his first practice with the team, his performance was still remarkable.

"Sure, there's no problem with you being my successor." Lin Ruo, who had been promoted to a manager who was observing the training match from behind, made an appropriate comment.

When Abu heard this, he thought Lin Ruo was a little older than he thought. But when he turned around, he saw that she was still seventeen years old.

Abu still has doubts about whether to keep Hu Xianzhao and decides to conduct another round of training matches tomorrow to ensure a complete evaluation of the performance.

As it turns out, there is indeed nothing wrong with iboy's performance.

So on August 8, in the ninth week of the LPL regular season, iboy successfully made his debut.

"Our opponent in this game is IM. This team prefers a strong core playstyle. AD carry Jinjiao is the core of the team, and the top laner, the sharp hook, ah, Amazingj, is the main engine of the team's mid-term rhythm."

In the EDG lounge at Zhengda Mall.

As he was about to go on stage, Lin Ruo took out his notebook and gave everyone the final instructions in a hurry.

"Iboy is playing for the first time today, so IM will naturally target the bottom lane. We must be prepared for early vision. IM rarely presses Kalista, so we can grab her first. So, Tianye, you'd better go into the jungle and place wards at level 2."

iboy nodded seriously and took every word Lin Ruo said to heart.

Nofe next to him touched his chin, feeling as if he had lost something.

"That's it. Don't feel any pressure going up there. Winning or losing doesn't really matter to us."

Lin Ruo watched everyone leave the lounge, then turned to stare at Nofe with a puzzled look: "Coach Nofe, aren't you going to the draft with us?"

"Oh yes, I'm the coach." Nofe, who was slow to react, hurried out.

After a few steps, Lin Ruo called him back: "You haven't got your notebook yet?"

Nofe had to turn back.

This scene was captured in the locker room before the game.

[Ah, Lin Gou is no longer playing games and has switched to coaching? ]

[Bullshit coach, this is clearly a promotion to management. Didn't you see him pointing fingers at Nofe?]

[What are you doing? Lin Gou is only interested in having fun, and Gou Ba is not on the court. Where can we, the fun-loving ones, find fun?]

[If you don't want to go, I'll just livestream in the lounge. Thank you.]

"You're taking a break, aren't you? You're playing other games at the club every day. Do you really need to rotate? If Lin Gou wants to slack off, just say so."

【IM, come on! Force EDG to bring up Lin Gou. 】

The audience in the official live broadcast room was particularly angry about this. They worked hard to click into the game, but not only did they not get to play, they also thought that something was wrong, but in the end they just lay comfortably on the sofa.

Is it a human?

For the first time, Le Ziren expressed his eagerness for EDG to lose the game.

However, the performance of EDG's second team is hard to describe.

IM, which had just made it into the top six in the spring season, has been caught in a turbulent period of version confusion since the beginning of the summer season. The poor team condition has not improved even after changing two junglers.

Even if Lin Ruo was not there, the game between the two sides still turned into a complete crushing victory.

The factory director is invincible in the world when it comes to bullying the familiar.

The two old EDG players AJ and Athena were pinned to the ground and rubbed hard.

iboy, who was a little lost in the early laning phase, performed extremely well in the team battle, ending the game with a triple kill of Kalista and easily winning the first game.

The second game was much more tortuous than the first.

In the early stage, EDG's three-player team surrounded the top lane and failed to kill AJ's tree, which led to Athena's Victor arriving in time to get a double kill. After that, EDG fell into a disadvantage for a long time.

However, with extremely patient defense, EDG finally found the disconnect in IM's lineup at 30 minutes, took advantage of the difference in numbers to take down the Baron and win the team battle, steadily snowballed, achieved a comeback and continued their winning streak throughout the season.

Lin Ruo looked very serious off the court.

After the team returned to the locker room, he immediately criticized A Guang, who had struggled in the game, in a harsh tone in the corner.

The reason why the team fell into a disadvantage in the early stage was that the mistakes caused by the three-on-one strategy in 6 minutes were too big and it took a long time to make up for it.

During this time, A Guang's crocodile not only failed to hold the tower properly, but also failed to deal the maximum damage, which led to insufficient output of the factory manager's spider and failed to kill the tree in time.

The stalemate lasted too long, giving Victor the opportunity to provide support and take advantage of the situation.

Knowing that he had made a mistake, A Guang listened obediently throughout and listened to Lin Ruo's Bible teachings.

Abu, who was standing by, saw it all and kept it in mind, always feeling as if he had lost something.

Nofe felt it very well and asked, "Do you feel the same way?"

Abu didn't say anything, but nodded silently in his heart.

EDG's next regular season opponent is an early game two days later against DAN, a neighbor and newly promoted team that was as fierce as a tiger at the beginning of the season but did not win a single game in the middle and late stages of the season.

Compared with IM, this game had no suspense at all. iboy and Ai Loli started together, and EDG easily won 2:0 to get 14 consecutive wins in the summer season, with only 2 games left to finish the regular season with a perfect record.

Lin Ruo, who returned to the club to start a live broadcast, was greeted by a barrage of comments.

[Lin Gou, were you kicked out by EDG? You didn't play in either game.]

[If you're frozen out by the club, just say that the fan club sisters are very competitive.]

[This iboy is quite powerful. Lin Ruo definitely can't compete with him. I suggest he transfer to RNG.]

[How much money did RNG give you? ]

[What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I, Lin Shen, have been promoted.]

Fans, rest assured, only Lin Gou can play against EDG, and EDG will never play against Lin Gou.

[Stop talking nonsense. I'm a food delivery guy for EDG. That day, I heard at the EDG entrance that Ed Pig was planning to appoint Lin Ruo as the general manager of the pesticide division.]

【At such a young age, it's a shame to take any detours. 】

"Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors. In fact, I have been playing training games all the time, but recently I have shifted to behind-the-scenes work. After all, you know, the regular season is not important. Training new players is everyone's responsibility. I will be back in the playoffs." Facing the questions from the barrage, Lin Ruo answered truthfully.

Wei Shen quickly chimed in through the voice chat: "Yes, yes, it's normal to train new people. Brother Lin is already quite old, and he might even retire next year."

He wished iboy could grow up and quickly squeeze out Lin Ruo, so that his five-year championship plan could be shortened to at least three years.

Wei Shen was already daydreaming when he heard Lin Ruo say, "Tomorrow is the weekend and the club is closed. I might have to go out for a day. Brother Wei, please don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

"No, I'm going to introduce you to some of my teammates tomorrow. What are you doing out here?"

"Me, I'm going out to get my certificate."
