LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 256: Have you written the application for playing Wayne?

The third day of the group stage continued in an orderly manner. After three days of fighting, EDG faced the challenge of AHQ, the weakest team in the group from Taiwan.

With a press of the button by Fizz, Ximen retired on the spot.

After a 30-minute operation, EDG won the game without any pressure and won the first round of the group stage.

The result was as expected by most LPL fans, EDG did not perform poorly this year.

"Congratulations to EDG. We haven't had such impressive results in the LPL group stage in a long time. This 3:0 victory is particularly dazzling."

"Yes, the last time LPL won all the first rounds of the group stage was in Season 3 when OMG defeated SKT. It took four years. This unbeaten streak was not easy to come by."

Miller in the commentary booth was filled with emotion.

Kwon Joong-hyuk, who was supervising the match in the RNG lounge, folded his hands and looked on indifferently: "What a mess! We just won all three of those non-LCK losers. It's just that we RNG didn't go in first. Otherwise, EDG wouldn't have had a chance to show off their power."

In his opinion.

Even if EDG wins six games in a row, it cannot compare to the significance of RNG's victory over SSG.

Don’t even mention that EDG defeated SSG in the Intercontinental Championship. Can the LCK team in the World Championship be compared with other types of competitions?
Kwon Jung-hyuk is now hoping that RNG can defeat G2, this result is very important.

It’s not just about the initiative to qualify.

After a long wait, RNG made their debut at the final moment of 8pm.

The third day of the group stage came to an end.

After some setbacks, RNG successfully defeated G2 and achieved a historic first-round victory.

It's another bad day for Ah P.

And that night, public opinion was all about RNG.

#RNG wins all the first round#
#Royal Family Never Give Up#
#Long Live the All-Chinese Class#
The victory over SSG already brought a lot of discussion to RNG, and with the promotion of the RNG marketing department led by Kwon Jong-hyuk, the popularity of RNG, which won all the games in the first round, almost completely crushed EDG, which achieved the same result.

The unique title of "all-Chinese team" that distinguishes it from EDG and WE was mentioned countless times that night.

You ask how many Chinese teams are participating in the competition?

Three!

How many of them are all-Chinese teams?

One!
RNG fans who turned the tide against the odds are eager to spread this glorious title to every passerby who has entered the circle and is paying attention.

RNG is the most authentic team worth supporting, no doubt about it.

That night, those who didn't know seemed to think that RNG won the championship.

Lin Ruo didn't even dare to look at it. If RNG defeated SSG again in the second round according to historical trajectory, he didn't even dare to imagine what the network would be like after qualifying as the first in the group.

After being suppressed by EDG for a whole year, RNG's marketing efforts are like those of a nouveau riche.

This is much greater than the momentum of RNG defeating SSG in S7 before he traveled through time.

It is an obvious fact that WE represented LPL in MSI at that time, and SKT still won the Mid-Season Invitational.

LPL's popularity is still in a three-way competition.

Among them, due to the disastrous defeat in S6, EDG lost a large number of fans, and RNG undoubtedly became the Wei Kingdom in this three-way confrontation.

So with two runner-up titles in the league throughout the year, RNG's marketing momentum is just that.

But this time, it was EDG that represented LPL in MSI, and it was also EDG that won the championship.

This directly led to a sudden change in the situation to the late Three Kingdoms period when the Western Jin Dynasty was unified.

RNG was severely trampled under the feet of EDG.

Now that there is an opportunity for a rebound in the World Championship, RNG naturally needs to seize every opportunity to gain attention with the greatest momentum, so as to overturn EDG's popularity suppression on it.

Lin Ruo was surprised but not surprised.

The group stage matches are still in progress. EDG, having finished three games in advance, got a short break on the fourth day.

The results of the fourth day were largely as expected.

WE secured the second place in the group by losing only to SKT with a record of 2-1.

In the first round of the entire group stage, the three LPL teams lost only one additional game in total, which would have been impossible in the past.

LPL viewers finally enjoyed the long-awaited taste of the region's revival.

The LCK region's results in the first round were surprisingly consistent with those of the LPL, but LCK fans were not very happy because the LPL was gradually narrowing the gap and might even overtake in the second round.

This is completely unacceptable to Xiba fans. Their LCK is already showing signs of being knocked off the altar.

Excluding the North American division that is often beaten, in the European division, apart from G2's poor performance, MSF and FNC both achieved a 2-1 record as expected, and their situation of qualifying for the group stage is promising.

Ap hasn't dared to post on Twitter for two days in a row. Fortunately, the 0-3 bottom-ranked North American champions TSM, led by Big Brother, can attract some attention from time to time, but that's all.

MSF official blog directly started stabbing others in the back.

"Guys, let's take a look at the results of the first round of the European group stage. Third seed Fnatic (2–1), rating: Good."

Second seed MSF (2-1) evaluation: Very good.

No. 2 seed G1 (2-) evaluation: Oh, shit.

The European audience below was already laughing, and mocking G2 became a daily routine for the fans.

[Before the game, I predicted that G2 would be able to beat the wildcard team FB at least. The facts proved that they did it. They only beat FB.]

Yeah, man, G2's performance was everything I expected.

No, I still think G2 will perform better than expected, and they will lose to FB in the second round and be eliminated honorably.

Look guys, there's so much bad blood towards G2. I actually thought they'd just explode and beat RNG or SSG once, and then get eliminated honorably.

...

There will be a three-day adjustment period after the first round of the group stage, and then the teams will begin the life-and-death battle for the qualifying spots in groups.

After three days of rest, Group A, where EDG is located, is naturally the first group to play.

Therefore, EDG needs to make a lot of preparations in the past few days, which has shortened Lin Ruo's live broadcast time by more than half. He can only barely start broadcasting and play a few games around 22 pm every night.

People complained about the fun.

Unexpectedly, the more terrifying thing was yet to come. On the eve of the game, Lin Ruo didn't even broadcast live.

It’s not that he was worried about affecting tomorrow’s competition, he just wanted to sleep. Going to bed early and getting up early will make you feel more energetic, so Lin Ruo washed up and went to bed at around 22pm to start meditation training.

Then I’ll start the live broadcast early in the morning on the day of the game to make up for the time I missed last night.

The show's elusive start time caused people to become mentally disturbed after staying up all night last night and preparing to have a good sleep this morning, and then having fun watching the online battle in the afternoon.

They suspected that Lin Ruo was messing with fans.

But there is no evidence.

...

February 10 at 12pm.

Still at the Wuhan Sports Center, the qualifying match for Group A of the group stage officially kicked off. EDG fans were extremely excited. In the past, they could only watch one game a day, but today they can watch three games in a row.

As soon as the EDG team entered the venue and were still preparing backstage, they could already vaguely see the cheering items and distinctive team flags scattered throughout the audience seats from the video that flashed by on the big screen.

no doubt.

The Wuhan Center was fully booked today, and what LPL fans lacked the least was home support.

C9, whose first game against EDG was a life-and-death battle, was trembling in the backstage lounge.

Their first-round group stage record was 1-2. If they lose to EDG again in this match, with a record of 1-3, they will be just one step away from elimination.

So, they must go all out. For EDG, defeating C9 will allow them to advance to the next round with 4 wins.

Of course, Lin Ruo’s goal is not just to qualify, nor to qualify as the first in the group, but to qualify with a resounding victory.

Soon as the battle sounds rang out, EDG players stepped onto the stage one after another in an orderly manner.

"Okay, everyone watching live and before the broadcast, welcome to Group A of the group stage qualifying round. Representing our LPL today will be the Summer Split champion and number one seed, EDG."

"Of the three LPL teams, honestly, I'm most confident in EDG. They shouldn't be under too much pressure, but the other teams will adjust after the first round. There are also many teams in Worlds history that have regrouped in the second round to regain their form and qualify."

“So we still have to take it seriously.”

The Haier brothers who were in charge of today's commentary were analyzing the situation logically and logically at the commentary booth.

"No matter what, EDG will win this game first. We'll secure our spot in the knockout rounds first."

Miller's words fell.

Both sides' BP are ready.

On the big screen at the scene, Weapon was banned as EDG's first choice on the blue side.

Following closely behind are the Prince and Kayn.

C9's ban speed was also very fast. In a blink of an eye, they banned Kalista, Taliyah, and different types of roaming Galios, which was very targeted against EDG's early and mid-game coordination.

The competition enters the selection stage.

EDG quickly locked onto Minotaur on the first floor, a very incredible choice.

Miller in the commentary booth was stunned: "What's EDG trying to do? They have Xayah and Rakan but they're just going after Alistar first?"

He only saw a little.

EDG really doesn't want the opponent to use a soft support bottom lane combination to live in peace even for a moment.

"Are we going to take Xia Luo?"

In the C9 player seat.

Faced with the unexpected surprise, the top laner Impact, the North American retirement god, Damumu, rubbed his hands and asked.

Isn't this just giving them Xayah and Rakan for free? This is a rare thing on red side.

"The opponent dares to lock the bull. I guess they are waiting for us to use Xayah and Rakan to get close, and then they will hit us with one move."

Sneaky, the cross-dressing guy in the AD position, does not quite agree with this choice.

The C9 coach weighed the pros and cons and decided to play it safe in the face of a situation where he couldn't afford to lose.

After thinking about it, C9 calmly locked on the big worm and Sejuani on the first and second floors.

The two front rows are reassuring to look at.

Followed by.

EDG quickly showed off Vayne on the second floor.

boom.

There were cheers at the scene.

The barrage of comments in the LPL official live broadcast room immediately ignited.

【Everyone stand up and pay tribute to Vayne's divine items. 】

[Lin Gou is also qualified to play Vayne? Go away. ]

[Vayne is a hero that requires skill, and not everyone can play it. Lin Gou should just stick to playing Xayah, which doesn't require skill.]

With the good results, many RNG fans dared to come out and cheer.

[What? Did you ask Uzi for his opinion before you dared to pick Vayne?]

Do you understand the value of Vayne's flanking at Worlds? Do you understand the value of Vayne's first pentakill in the LPL? Without Uzi, there would be no Vayne today. So Vayne is Uzi, and Uzi is Vayne. If you want to play her, you have to apply!

[I, Lin Shen, am a loyal fan of Xiao Gou. What's wrong with playing with Vayne? I believe Xiao Gou will understand.]

The netizens who were confused by the barrage responded fiercely. Before the game even started, the barrage was already filled with smoke.

However, whether it was the royal family or the people who were having fun, they all thought that Lin Ruo was just making trouble and would never really make a choice.

Wawa, sitting in the commentary booth, stroked his chin. "Vayne got a buff in 7.18, and she's pretty effective at slicing through two opposing tanks, but isn't she showing up too quickly?"

He didn't think Wayne was bad.

But the fact is that it was revealed too early. The opponent could easily find a target in the bottom lane, especially with options like Kog'Maw, who has a long reach and is strong in the version. It is definitely enough to make Vayne extremely uncomfortable in the early laning phase.

He felt that EDG would not choose, but he was not EDG after all, let alone Lin Ruo.

When the selection entered the countdown stage, Vayne was confirmed with a slight sound.

The cheers at the scene suddenly exploded.

The camera cut to the contestant's seat, where Lin Ruo wiped his hands with a tissue and smiled playfully.

Tian Ye took a look and said: "You really dare to choose."

"It's no big deal. My brother Lin can play whatever he wants." A Guang, who got the Rambo on the third floor, seemed more confident than Lin Ruo.

EDG fought to the utmost in their first three moves, playing a purely offensive lineup.

"The other side is really a group of lunatics."

Guangchang Jensen couldn't help but curse, but it doesn't matter. Do you like playing Vayne?

C9 locked down the big mouth on the third floor without hesitation.

Both sides entered the second ban phase, and EDG successively suppressed Janna and Lulu, eliminating the advantage of Incense Burner and Big Mouth online.

C9 suppressed Nidalee and Elise, obviously fearing that EDG would continue to extend this desperate offensive lineup.

After all, anyone who has done research knows how strong EDG's early offensive has been this year.

When it came to the selection phase again, C9 also showed their killer move, locking on the snowman Nunu on the fourth floor.

The cheers that had just stopped at the scene started again. This game was full of surprises.

"This snowman is really well thought out." Miller in the commentary booth was surprised.

Vayne's short arms make it difficult for her to consume enemies in the lane. If she is slowed down by the Snowman's ice block and has a very long attack range, she will undoubtedly be beaten.

By doing this, C9 can avoid direct confrontation with Minotaur in the lane while maximizing the pull, which is an excellent choice.

The cross-dressing guy Sneaky has started laughing.

Until EDG's fourth and fifth floor choices appeared, Graves and LeBron.

Sneaky gasped, his expression instantly falling.

What are you doing? You don’t want to let Kog’Maw have any chance to survive in team fights.

"EDG is trying too hard. Oh my god." Wawa had no idea how many times he had opened his mouth wide.

This lineup... to put it simply.

If the C25 base does not explode in 9 minutes, the EDG base will explode automatically.

After C9 was forced to lock in Lucian on the fifth floor to stabilize the early stage situation, the lineups of both sides were officially finalized.

"EDG is on the blue side, with Rumble in the top lane, Graves in the jungle, LeBron James in the mid lane, and Vayne and Alistar in the bottom lane."

"C9 is on the red side, top laner Chucky, jungler Sejuani, mid laner Lucian, bottom lane duo Kog'Maw and Yeti Nunu."
