LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 279: 3:0 into the finals, what is your post-match MVP?

The situation was barely stabilized by LZ.

But the fire dragon that spawned later at 21 minutes brought another devastating blow to the situation.

LZ encountered the most important fire dragon soul at the most helpless stage.

With Ice Hammer, Black Cleaver and half a piece of Bloodthirster, the 5-0 Gnar was standing in front of the dragon pit, ready to go big. There was also an Ahri who would pop up from time to time and use Q and chain, making it impossible for LZ to advance or retreat.

Cuzz wisely avoided the front position and went to the corner of the jungle entrance to accumulate power.

When Zac's E skill is fully charged, he can jump through the dragon pit with a very long sense of position. It is no problem for him to jump from the narrowest inner part of the dragon pit to the exit on the other side of the dragon pit. If he can punish and snatch the fire dragon in mid-air while jumping through the dragon pit, it will undoubtedly be an extremely nice thing.

Very nice.

But the reality is that Cuzz can't do it.

Because EDG pulled the dragon out of the dragon pit, Zac, who was moving along the inner position, couldn't even reach the distance to fight and punish.

"What was that thing that went by?"

"I don't know, shit."

EDG took the second fire dragon without any threat, and then started a fight for the vision of the big dragon.

The one-three-one system formed by Gnar and LeBlanc's split lanes once tortured LZ to the point of wanting to die.

Khan's situation with Shen was fine, but the key point was that Bdd's Clockwork didn't teleport, so he was restricted to the bottom lane and lacked space to move.

Once EDG starts to fight for the big dragon, LZ will face the dilemma of four against five.

The best way to solve the problem is undoubtedly to move Shen to the bottom lane to deal with it, but Khan is somewhat overwhelmed by the important pushing and harassment of LeBlanc.

"The vision on the Baron side was too dark. LZ couldn't see anything. Gorilla walked in and it was like being in a horror movie."

Guan Zeyuan was thinking.

Lu Benwei next to him was a little excited.

The upper and lower lanes of troops were all pushed forward. If they don’t kill the big dragon now, when will they force a team fight?

Fighting.

In the dark perspective, Gnar and Gragas had already started slaughtering the Baron in advance.

As the main output in killing the dragon, Lin Ruo's Xia was still slowly pushing the line in the middle lane.

EDG played a beautiful sneak attack, and the relaxed LZ had no idea that the two tanks had started doing unexpected things in the dragon pit.

tp lights up.

Khan teleported to the triangle grass in the bottom lane without realizing it, ready to kill the leading Ahri.

In order to avoid the speed-reducing ball sent by Clockwork, Scout used the first stage of Shadow Trace.

The next second, Qing Gangying jumped out through the wall with the help of the hook, and the control skill missed.

Khan calmly used his ultimate to lock onto Ahri while she continued to move with the second stage of her W.

A followed by two kicks and a pull from Clockwork's ultimate skill easily killed the caged Ahri in seconds.

Khan, feeling smug after getting the kill, did not forget to rush to the middle lane to prevent EDG from passively choosing to start the Baron. However, when the searchlight appeared in the Baron pit, the scene was a bit surprising.

Just from the solo fight between Gnar and Gragas, the Barrel's health has dropped by one third.

When the vision became clear, Lin Ruo controlled Xayah to activate her W skill and walk into the dragon pit, causing Baron Nashor's health to drop even more rapidly.

The LZ top and mid players who were still in the bottom lane were obviously unable to keep up with the speed of killing the dragon.

Now all we can do is hope that the three people in front can force their way in or delay the game.

"I'll go sell it, and you guys beat me."

Tian Ye was very clear about his goal. He blocked the three LZ players who were coming in the outer area of ​​the dragon pit. He even activated his ultimate to push Zac away, and then used a Q flash, not giving Zac any chance to jump into the dragon pit to fight for the ring.

As the wailing sounded, EDG took down the big dragon and successfully retreated to a safe area.

LZ once again ended the battle for the big dragon by eating fresh beef.

Pray sighed after taking the head. He didn't like the beef that was forced upon him at all.

in the subsequent time.

After obtaining the Baron buff, EDG continued with the strategy of one, three, and one split push, and was the first to destroy the middle lane tower with only a quarter of its health.

While pushing towards the second middle tower, Cuzz, who was lurking in the shadows, jumped up again and controlled Zac to rush towards Xayah who was walking in the front.

Lin Ruo activated his ultimate skill as easily as drinking water, releasing feathers flying all over the sky and avoiding Zac's coverage.

Cuzz pulled the soldiers from behind and pulled down Xayah who had landed on the ground. Before he could use his ultimate to pull the soldiers, Gragas's red warm barrel had already landed in front of him.

Zac was blown behind Xia.

Luo appeared from the back of the wolf monster and attacked with R flash. When Lin Ruo retreated with E flash and hooked him nonchalantly, he didn't even get touched and lost all control.

He wanted to move forward, but after looking at the Mercury's Treads in Xia's equipment bar, he chose to give up.

Another wave of arrests that ended in vain, and LZ even gave away Zac's head.

Clockwork came to the middle lane to support, and the middle second tower was barely defended, but the lower second tower was gone.

In less than two seconds, the second tower was gone.

Hmm...isn't there Shen guarding the second tower?
LZ and the others switched the screen to see that as soon as the team battle in the middle lane started, Shen had already been killed by Gnar's pursuit.

Khan's face looked very ugly now.

He was not killed by top top laners such as Semb and Cuvee, but was killed by a so-called LPL blue-collar top laner.

It was a shame, but considering the huge gap in equipment, he thought it was okay.

Um, are you really okay? Woohoo.

The director who was keen on whipping corpses quickly gave a replay, and this wave of solo kills was very simple and unpretentious.

Dannar, who pushed the line first, hid in the toad position and observed every move on the line. When Shen came out of the tower to eat the minions and approached, he jumped out with the E skill, pushed Shen against the wall with a backhand, and then used the W skill to interrupt Khan's hurried E skill to hook the wall.

Once the skill was interrupted, Khan couldn't escape the three-ring pursuit of the shrunken short-handed Gnar even if he used flash.

In the end, he used a meaningless big move in front of the tower to lock the enemy and hold on, forcing A Guangnaldo, who was almost full of health, to withstand two tower attacks.

At the end of the team battle at the middle two towers, the upper two towers had been reduced to ruins under the horizontal push. A Guang, who was not under anyone's control, then led the team all the way to the high ground and destroyed most of the health of the defense towers.

Less than a minute after taking down the Baron, LZ's Talithos in all three lanes were wiped out.

The economic gap has widened to over 10,000 in a blink of an eye. If it were the previous EDG, it would be hard to say which side's fans would be worried.

But for EDG now, what they should worry about is the five LZ players trembling on the high ground.

The 25th minute of the game.

After taking the third fire dragon, the three EDG bottom junglers gathered on the bottom lane high ground, and were working as fast as possible to reduce the health of the bottom tower. LZ's final life-and-death team battle was about to begin.

Zac, aiming at Xayah, leaped into the crowd, but when he was about to land, Gragas hit him in the belly, interrupting his skill directly.

TP from three directions lit up in an instant.

Luo activated his ultimate to attack Zac, and his target was Xayah who was behind the Barrel. As usual, he forced Lin Ruo to release flying feathers to dodge.

After landing, Lin Ruo immediately activated Mercury to remove the charm, used flash, and pulled E to retreat, and took the opportunity to dodge the ultimate move of Clockwork who had predicted his landing.

With the help of Gragas' ultimate, LZ's attack on the back row was in vain.

"LZ also has a Shen!"

"Khan's position is perfect. He's in the lane behind EDG. He lands on the grappling hook and goes straight to Xia's position. Lin Ruo doesn't have any skills right now."

Guan Zeyuan spoke in a hurried voice.

Khan successfully used the second stage of E to lock onto Xia who was retreating.

Lin Ruo's condition is very critical.

But the four people in front of LZ seem to be in more danger than this.

Zac has been beaten into a meat ball form.

As soon as the enlarged Nal landed, he flashed and slapped his hand back.

A flash of golden light.

Pray used Tristana to use flash and ultimate to repel Gnar, avoiding the pressure of the behemoth.

However, as soon as one wave subsides, another wave comes.

Minotaur's flash WQ suddenly hit, pushing up the MacGyver who was completely unable to react, and then the Deceiver who landed on the ground stepped forward with the second stage.

LZ's maximum output point fell instantly.

Luo, who turned back to protect the row, was caught by the chain and soon fell under the concentrated fire of EDG.

Khan, who had taken down Xayah and ended the kill, watched as four EDG players pushed up the front tower. For a moment, he was at a loss, as if his home was about to be lost. With only a Clockwork-less player returning to the fountain for resupply, LZ had no power to resist.

"That's the end of it, Khan is too late to return to the city, Bdd's Clockwork can only stand in the fountain and watch helplessly. EDG, perhaps the greatest No. 1 seed in our LPL history, will defeat fellow No. 1 seed and LCK Summer Split champion Longzhu to advance to the finals!"

"And as our home stadium, the Bird's Nest, on November 11th, EDG will set foot there. The world championship and the annual Grand Slam are just one step away from EDG."

"Yes, congratulations to EDG. They did it, breaking through team history again. After three years, the LPL is finally going to advance to the finals. Their opponent is still from the same region, the LCK team that defeated the LPL twice in the finals."

Recalling the scene of being eliminated by SKT in the 13 World Finals, Lu Benwei, filled with emotion, said: "EDG, go and beat that SKT."

Suddenly.

The entire Shanghai Oriental Sports Center exploded after hearing Lu Benwei's words.

Yes, it's time to defeat SKT and win the world championship that's been delayed for five years.

The moment the crystal exploded, the cheers from the audience erupted like a tsunami, and the warm atmosphere finally reached an unprecedented climax.

"EDG!"

"EDG!"

In the player seats, the five EDG players in the center of the camera took off their headphones and stood up, hugging each other or clapping, sharing the joy under the attention of the crowd.

Lin Ruo adjusted his hair and calmly raised his fingers to make a 3:0 gesture.

Is it difficult to defeat an LCK team 3-0? Not difficult.

From the Mid-Season Invitational Finals to the quarterfinals and semifinals of the World Championship, he has achieved this goal for the third time this year.

So what about the finals? Let’s have another one.

The barrage of comments in the LPL live broadcast rooms on major platforms also welcomed celebrations at this moment.

【EDG is awesome! 】

EDG easily advanced to the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and the finals. What else is there to say?

[Haha, I can't even imagine a 3:0 final and a 9:0 overall victory.]

【If it's 9:0, I'll be awesome. 】

[Don't waste your time, the tickets are already bought. Let's go to the Beijing Bird's Nest. Don't let Mr. Lin down.]

I heard SKT has a lot of fans in China? Sorry, if we hear even one cheer of support for SKT at the Bird's Nest on November 11th, we'll lose.

[There's nothing we can do about it. We just have more people, so we're the ones who create the atmosphere.]

[Just go for it, this championship will never leave China.]

I'm an SKT fan, and I'm already shaking with fear. I desperately need some EDG female fans to come meet me and taunt me.

[Ah, the abacus plate bounced onto my face.]

Amidst the heated discussions on the barrage, the camera cut to the LZ player seat not far away. Everyone had a helpless and powerless look on their face. This 3:0 defeat was still too much of a blow for all the LZ members.

Bdd was already sitting on the chair and couldn't help wiping away tears.

As the LCK Summer Split champions, their LZ was still ranked at the bottom during the Spring Split, but who could have known that after half a season of reorganization, the team would become the absolute ruler of that season.

It is very rare for a team to rise and complete its run-in in just half a season, so they naturally become the hope of winning the championship in the hearts of all LCK fans.

From an inconspicuous bottom three to a dark horse in the summer season, and then to the absolute king who won the championship and broke SKT's undefeated record in the finals.

Bdd just couldn't even imagine it, the whole process was like a dream.

But today, they fell to EDG, as if their dream of being the Chosen One was shattered. Maybe they met another player who was more worthy of the title of Chosen One.

If it was 3:2, he would have regrets.

But with a score of 3:0, I can only say that the loss was not unfair at all.

"Handshake, handshake." A Guang, who was invincible in the third game, raised his chest and walked to the front of the LZ player seat. He was the first to shake hands with the ashamed Khan.

A Guang showed a smile that was as innocent as it could be.

But in Khan's eyes, this smile was a naked mockery, as if saying to him:

You're called Khan, the best top laner in the world? The LCK solo kill king? That's not acceptable.

Khan didn't dare to think too much, fearing that this was not an illusion. He blamed the LCK league for not being too intense. If he had been given more opportunities to train with top laners like him earlier, how could he have ended up being swept by EDG, who were not used to the local environment?

Ah, Siba!

"Khan, don't be too sad. Didn't you kill me solo in the end? How can this not be considered an achievement?"

Lin Ruo, who shook hands with him at the end, comforted him.

Of course, this is not a consolation in Khan's eyes. Just killing a Xia who was forced to dodge is enough to make him doubt his future.

It was not until several days after the finals, when Khan saw Lin Ruo who had survived the previous match, that he realized that killing Lin Ruo in the semi-finals was of such great significance. Ahem, it seems he was too superficial.

...

"Cuzz, I heard you didn't get any blue in the third game? You're cosplaying as the Blue Zero King, right? But don't be sad, I didn't get any blue either."

Lin Ruo comforted the jungler again.

Cuzz got even sadder after hearing this. It was none of my business whether you, an AD, took the blue mana or not, as an AD, took the blue mana or not.

After that, continue shaking hands.

When Pray saw Lin Ruo coming over, he felt endless melancholy in his heart, and the recent situation of the last wave of highland group just now flashed through his mind.

He dodged the flash push from Gnar, but failed to dodge the flash combo from Minotaur that followed.

If it were Lin Ruo, he should be able to dodge it without any effort.

That's the difference.

Pray shook his head helplessly. As an AD, if he couldn't dodge the skills, he deserved to lose.

The difference in bottom lane between these three games was as huge as heaven and earth, and he had to admit it even if he didn't want to.

Compared to this, Gorilla is even more collapsed.

Did he ever get Xayah once in the entire game? It was outrageous. He was undoubtedly numbed by the showdown, and it made him never want to play Rakan again.

17AD really has the reactions of a 17-year-old.

"Ah, congratulations to EDG! They've retained the last remaining LPL force. Unlike previous years where the champion was decided early in a civil war, this year's finals is undoubtedly the most suspenseful one."

In the LCK commentary box.

The Roaring Emperor, his throat finally saved, calmed down and explained, "Because this year marks the return of the China-Korea showdown after three years."

In previous years, as a commentator who witnessed the LCK region lock up the world championship every time, the Roaring Emperor would think about this question from time to time: Is it too easy for the LCK to always lock up the championship as early as the semi-finals?

He also hopes that other regions can give some support, at least to make the finals a little suspenseful and increase the challenge of the competition.

This year, EDG came and successfully made him see the competitiveness of other regions.
But the challenge seems a bit too high. Can SKT, which is not in the best condition, really defend the glory of being the four-time champion of LCK?
The Roaring Emperor suddenly regretted having such an idea before. In fact, compared to the flourishing League of Legends games, he still prefers the LCK region to stand out.

"Dear audience members, please give us a round of applause and congratulate EDG once again for advancing to the 2017 League of Legends World Championship Finals without any suspense."

Ren Dong's powerful voice echoed throughout the entire competition venue.

From the beginning of the semi-final match to the end of the game, the scene has completely changed into an EDG fan meeting session.

Countless glow sticks and cheering boards were waving, and the game venue was still crowded with people. The LPL spectators who were celebrating wildly had no intention of leaving. This excitement was worth staying up all night.

"Guang, it's your turn to go up for the interview. You were the most dazzling man in the third round."

Behind the scenes of the match, looking at the crowd outside, A Guang took a deep breath and said, "I'm a little bit impatient, Brother Lin. Forget it, my third round is just Daddy."

"If you don't go, I'll go there. I'll say a few dirty words for fun." The factory manager, who hadn't said any classic quotes for a long time, felt a little hungry and thirsty at this moment.

Lin Ruo smiled and commented sharply, "Director, what's your post-match MVP award?"

"What's the point of me being named MVP after the game? Don't you know how great I was in that game? The post-game stats aren't enough to show my contribution to the team."

The factory director hummed while clasping his fists.

But it’s okay. Although he was not given the system MVP in the game, he will definitely be given the MVP in the official on-site evaluation.

In this post-match interview, the factory manager felt that he had definitely won.

Then a staff member came over and said, "Player Mouse, please move to the main stage for the post-match interview."

The factory manager was so embarrassed that he felt ashamed.

Tian Ye hugged him and said, "Let's go to the English interview area."

"No, no, the English translation is not enough to show the breadth and depth of Chinese characters. I'm afraid my dirty talk won't taste good when translated into English."

The factory manager said this, but his steps were much faster than Tian Ye's.

The English post-match interview was also an interview. He was determined and he did not lose.
