LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 337 If Lin Ruo is the MVP, everyone else is just an easy win.
Taking down an outer turret is much easier than taking the high ground, and EDG quickly gathered in front of the top lane high ground turret in the blink of an eye.

However, considering that Ornn didn't have his ultimate to initiate team fights, Lin Ruo didn't rush to push the high ground, because IG wasn't without the ability to fight back.

After chipping away at more than half of the bottom lane inhibitor's health, the entire EDG team retreated in an orderly manner to recall and replenish their health.

Lacking any means to initiate team fights, IG could only feel helpless. Ning even felt a little regretful, thinking that he should have played Olaf, and how satisfying it would have been to charge in and hack and slash while invincible with Ragnarok activated.

But that's just wishful thinking.

Once Olaf is picked, the subsequent ban/pick phases will be affected by a chain reaction of changes.

What IG needs to do right now is to drag this out. They at least have Gangplank in the back row, even though the opposing team also has Ornn and Azir, two late-game monsters.

Forehead…

After thinking about it, I realized that delaying it wouldn't work either...

Ning, the team's leader, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

What's the point of Kha'Zix? Who can he even kill? Ezreal is so agile, can he even kill him?
If you can't get a kill, it only proves one thing: he'll be a complete waste in team fights.

In contrast, the opposing poodle...

"Wow." Ning stared blankly at the equipment, completely stunned. Did he have to be so powerful and influential that Ornn, after reaching level 13, was the first to give the jungler Rengar a set of equipment?

Go against Tiangang.

King Ning never imagined that Ornn would be the first to build equipment for him.

The key is that TheShy doesn't play Ornn either, so we need to bring Duke up to fight first.

"Should we equip Lin Shenchui with the upgraded Curtain Blade first?" The commentators couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at this moment.

Such a scene is extremely rare, because the jungler is unlikely to be the core of the team. Given EDG's current lineup, giving Azir a hard hit is obviously the best option to win the game.

But Ornn, or rather GimGoon, chose to let Lin Ruo hit first...

"That's quite a high status."

Rita couldn't help but smile: "Of course, given Lin's performance in this game, he certainly deserves it."

[This clearly demonstrates her status within the team!]

[Status? The imperial throne!]

What kind of jungler is this? They want the top laner to ignore the core damage dealers and willingly become a dog?

[You might not know this, but LinGou often bullies his four teammates in different ways, especially newcomers like GimGoon. Otherwise, I can't understand why he gets the first item.]

[Damn it, I, Lin, carried the whole thing in the early game. What's wrong with upgrading my gear? A bunch of people were just coasting through. Without a doubt, I, Lin, was the only MVP in the end.]

[Post-match news: EDG team is experiencing internal discord, with the top and jungle seemingly working together to isolate the mid laner. Evidence suggests that Ornn prioritized giving the jungler a hammer item, while neglecting to give it to the team's core damage dealer, Azir.]

Based on this, the probability of them not getting along is very high, almost certain.

[I'm reporting GimGoon for being a troll. He doesn't even want to win the game if he doesn't give the Tsar the hammer.]

Do you think Lin Gengxin can't carry the team?

[Are you saying that Lin Gou needs Ornn to carry his teammates to victory?]

The live chat was full of memes, even the commentators were making fun of it, only Scout on the player bench was completely and utterly hurt.

There's no reason not to give him a beating.

Jin Gong's reasoning was simple: "If Lin Ruo is my older brother, then I'll beat him first."

When asked how Lin Ruo managed to subdue Jin Gong and make him her subordinate, the reason was simple: she repeatedly crushed him in top lane solo matches, and after defeating him, she whispered something in his ear with a wicked smile.

"Your joining EDG is all thanks to me." From that moment on, GimGoon was determined to follow Lin Ruo for life.

Scout wanted to speak, but decided to give way because of GimGoon's massive size.

"They're losing out big time. Giving the Tsar's hammer to him would be a thousand times better than giving it to the Lion Dog. I can't think of even the slightest reason to give it to the Lion Dog."

In the IG voice chat, Ning tried his best to comfort himself by speaking.

It's okay. It's okay.

Although he will never have such VIP service.

But the way the opponent is beating them up will surely lay the groundwork for their eventual comeback.

That's right, that's right. Just as Ning was thinking, EDG launched another attack using the mid-lane minion wave to pull back the enemy, and another five-on-five battle was about to unfold in front of the bottom lane high ground.

GimGoon didn't hold back at all, initiating a team fight with a shout of "Hey, come on!" and charging forward to push onto the high ground.

If the IG players show even the slightest tendency to retreat, the low-health bottom tower can be easily taken down by the EDG players.

IG was naturally unwilling to accept this. First, they used Gangplank's ultimate to clear the wave, and then they tried to recklessly start a team fight under the protection of Star Power.

With GimGoon's Ornn tanking in front, EDG isn't worried about the situation they'll face in team fights.

The forward-breathing fire easily negated the control skills connected by the gem, and even being hit by Zoe's bubble was no problem. With Shen's ultimate support and his own tankiness, it was not difficult for Ornn to break through the encirclement while standing still and taking hits.

Although his health was a bit low at the end.

"TP, get back to high ground," Lin Ruo calmly said in the voice chat.

As another wave of minions surged onto the high ground, Dazzling TP followed, and Ornn, who had returned to base to replenish his supplies, respawned with full health. With no more blocking abilities available, IG had no chance to stop him.

They swiftly gave up the bottom lane high ground.

Lin Ruo, who had arrived at the mid-lane high ground to clear the wave, activated his ultimate skill, concealing his figure and moving around near the lower high ground, keeping a close eye on the retreating IG team's every move.

Everyone on IG became cautious, constantly trying to figure out where Rengar would be on the side.

Ning, who had just been stabbed by the Tsar, had a bad feeling. He suspected that the lion dog might be after him.

This premonition was spot on, because the next second the poodle opened its blood-red mouth and pounced on his head.

After landing and using Q to pierce forward, Kha'Zix, who still had more than two-thirds of his health, was gone in an instant.

Ning Wang truly experienced what it's like to play a horror game, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This enhanced Curtain Blade's damage is really high."

He wants it too.

On the cold black and white screen, Rengar, with Shen's ultimate ability and the added Guardian Angel, moved through the enemy's territory as if it were no place, dealing massive damage.

Kha'Zix's fall proves that IG in this game were like chickens and dogs, completely unable to withstand EDG's powerful attacks.

The notification sounded for a triple kill, and Lin Ruo, who had been wreaking havoc, finally collapsed to the ground.

Soon.

With the help of the resurrection armor, it stood up again.

In a rout, EDG destroyed the inhibitor turrets and the naked crystal, ending their first regular season game against IG in one fell swoop and taking a 1-0 lead in the BO3 series.

The cheers from the audience continued, and even with his calm expression, Lin Ruo could still hear the two commentators praising him when he took off his headphones.

He reiterated his previous statement: "A lion dog fighting a praying mantis is as easy as having hands."
