LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 333 Preparing to Show My True Colors.

Ouch, that hurts a little.

But it doesn't matter, it was just good luck. PDD decided to launch a painful counterattack.

Two minutes later, seeing the disadvantage in health points, the robust and sturdy Teacher Piao frowned and fell into unprecedented deep thought.

That movement was so unpredictable, and that skillful prediction was amazing. In short, this guy is... pretty fierce. He's probably a Shadow Fiend pro. I should have known better than to take him on one-on-one.

PDD had some regrets.

ten minutes later…

Sweating profusely, PDD stared intently at the screen displaying the countdown to resurrection, his entire face practically squeezing into it to see what was going on.

He lost? He actually lost!

That's impossible. When he was playing Dota, Lin Ruo probably hadn't even touched a computer yet.

[What is Teacher Piao doing? How can he imitate Lu Benwei?]

[Holy crap, this is bad! It's one thing that Lu Benwei lost, but PDD lost too! Doesn't this imply that Lin Gou is the hope of CN Dota?]

[Implication? This is an explicit statement!]

So when is Lin Gou (Lin Gou) going to save CN Dota? Speak up!

[It's not that bad. CN Dota won the championship in 16, it's far from being a lost cause. Let's save Overwatch first, we've never won a championship.]

It's strange that you guys could win a championship with a game that only came out 16 years ago. I suggest you continue to hone your skills. For example, it took us many years to win our first world championship in League of Legends.

That's probably because Lin Ruo hasn't been born yet.

"What are you doing, Liu Mou? How could you lose too? This doesn't make sense." Amidst the noisy chat, Lu Benwei in Douyu's live stream was clapping and cheering while feigning disappointment.

Well, that's it, PDD lost too.

This undoubtedly shows that losing to Lin Ruo was not his problem, but Lin Ruo's problem.

He was able to defeat PDD, who had been fighting for a long time, so he could also clear his name. It wasn't that his strength was average, but that Lin Ruo was ridiculously strong.

PDD knew that saying anything at this point would be pointless, so he could only silently stand up and move towards the camera, then do a full-body push-up in front of everyone in the live stream.

"I can't do it anymore. I owe 19 push-ups. I'll make up for them tomorrow. If I can't make up for them tomorrow, I'll make up for them the day after tomorrow." PDD wiped his sweat and sat down on the chair. This small push-up had exceeded the amount of exercise he could do in a day, and he almost went black.

Therefore, adequate rest is necessary.

[PDD is not doing this; he hasn't even been sitting for a second.]

[He immediately dropped to the ground, wanting even a second more?]

[PDD is too fast; even "instant kill" doesn't do him justice.]

Getting PDD to do two push-ups is harder than getting him to use a hundred big swords. Guys, let's give up, PDD is too weak.

Faced with the doubts in the live stream, PDD appeared very calm: "Brothers, my strength speaks for itself. Besides, Lin Shen didn't specify a time limit, nor did he say that he would finish it all at once, right? So this is not a breach of contract. I will definitely finish it."

"I'll keep an eye on him. If he doesn't comply, I'll punish him on the spot," Lu Benwei joked during the live stream.

Lin Ruoke, the person involved, didn't have time to deal with PDD's cheating. After dawdling for nearly an hour, he turned to start the next match. He wanted to reach level 13 as soon as possible to qualify for ranked matches.

Mingkai, who had come to the side again, was completely dumbfounded: "You killed PDD?"

He knew better than anyone how much PDD loved Dota 2; he was itching to play a few games every day, so his skill level was naturally exceptional. Yet, even someone like him was defeated by Lin Ruo, who had only been playing for three days.

Mingkai was truly shocked this time; it was simply impossible.

This world is indeed quite chaotic.

Feeling incredibly impressed, he quickly opened WeChat and sent a message to Liu Mou, along with a laughing emoji: "Hahaha, you noob, you actually got defeated by Lin Ruo, who has only been playing for three days!"

Although the process was outrageous, it didn't stop Mingkai from showing his true colors to his good brother.

PDD was furious when he saw the news. He could accept the viewers in the live stream mocking him, but he couldn't accept his good friend mocking him.

The humiliation this caused was simply too great.

PDD, who ended the broadcast on the spot, went to the toilet to do something, but all that is known is that Mingkai was still laughing.

That evening, news of Lin Ruo's consecutive victories over veteran players PDD and Lu Benwei in Solo matches spread throughout the gaming community, especially causing a huge stir on Tieba (a Chinese online forum).

[Isn't Dota supposed to be difficult? How come Lin Gou learned it in three days and even beat Lu Benwei and PDD?]

[Oh no, the hearts of the fans must be broken. Lin Ruo mastered what's known as the most difficult game to play in just three days. That's incredibly unfair!]

[How China's current top League of Legends player speedruns Dota 2.]

[They're going crazy over just one person? Have you forgotten how many players in the League of Legends scene came from Dota?]

[Stop barking when you're petting the dog.]

...

Lin Ruo didn't know why a war of words had suddenly broken out. No one praised his talent; instead, they all used it as an opportunity to put each other down.

Previously, the Dota community mocked the League of Legends community for lacking skill; now, the League of Legends community is using this to mock Dota. However, this is only a minority of extremes, and most people can understand the underlying reasons.

Unlike on foreign websites, Western fans, who have developed a strong biased view of Lin Ruo, only see endless praise.

[It's unbelievable; Lin Shen has done something that only God could accomplish.]

[I initially thought he wasn't that amazing, but he mastered Dota in just three days. Sorry, I'm starting to become a fan.]

[Hehe, as long as Lin Shen isn't mediocre, we'll always be his followers.]

Dota is really difficult; it's not something you can master in three days. But sorry, the person who got to play this game is Lin Shen!

[Alright, Lin Shen, please start trying StarCraft next, thank you.]

Ah P, who was watching the drama unfold online, also posted a surprised emoji in the comments section. Seeing so many comments, he could only feel envy. Lin Ruo always received praise from everyone for whatever she did, unlike him, who only got criticized by his own fans.

It seems that only by breaking through the top 16 in next year's World Championship can they regain their momentum, and if possible, breaking through to the top 4 would be the best outcome.

The top eight are also easy targets for criticism, so it's not a sure thing.

Lin Ruo's Dota journey continues. After playing for seven consecutive days, he barely managed to reach level 11 in the game with his excellent performance before the end of the year-end holiday.

With only two levels left until level 13, it's safe to say that there are still three or four days of hard work ahead.

"Brothers, time to sleep. Don't stay up late. Please learn from me how to be a man with a regular lifestyle." Lin Ruo, who usually ended his live stream on time at midnight, relaxed his back. He probably wouldn't be able to get up early to stream tomorrow.

Because they still have their last regular season game before the Lunar New Year, which is against IG, and IG, who have already achieved a three-game winning streak and are currently at the top of the Eastern Conference, seem to be unstoppable.
