LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 340 What's the use of a home? It's been given away!
"Lin Shen's ambush was so decisive."

I really didn't expect that Lin Ruo would make such an excellent judgment at that moment.

Originally able to rush to support Ornn, upon seeing the Wedge Warp appear, he abandoned the rescue without hesitation and chose to retreat back into the Dragon Pit, where he crouched by the wall to ambush Ryze who might be returning.

The objective was decisive and clear: it recognized that the current situation was beyond saving, but also avoided blindly offering help and revealing its presence, while simultaneously finding the best position.

As it turns out, a calm mind is always a key to winning the game.

After securing the kill, Lin Ruo maneuvered Lee Sin to the mid lane to help Zoe push the lane. His intention was clear: to take advantage of the current gap in the jungle to invade and steal IG's blue buff in the bottom jungle.

With the bottom lane in a state of easy push and the middle lane pushed down, IG did not have enough ability to regroup and defend the blue monster.

Even if there are.

Lin Ruo remained calm.

Ning unleashed his ultimate move, Extreme Freeze, in an attempt to keep the enemy in place, but Lin Ruo still managed to kill him.

The commentators were stunned; this was a large-scale dispute caused by the Blue Monster.

With the invincibility buff from the gem, Lin Ruo, who stole the blue monster, ultimately retreated back to the river unscathed thanks to Braum's challenge.

Although it was just a matter of losing a blue buff, which wasn't a huge loss, the humiliation was immense.

At least for Prince Ning, this was the case; he anticipated his opponent's actions but failed to stop them.

This feeling of wanting to do something but being powerless is unbearable.

After finishing the F6, Lin Ruo walked straight up, not even glancing at the wind dragon in the pit.

Fighting dragons is nothing compared to military training.

With nearly two thousand dollars in his pocket, the Lee Sin arrived in the Ueno area in the blink of an eye. After placing a control ward in the triangular bush to confirm that there was no vision, he...

Once Lin Ruo arrived at the back of the tower, she already regarded the captain as a dead man.

Less than three minutes after the previous arrest, the Ornn goat outside the tower bleated, and the captain inside, who hadn't flashed, was trapped with no way to escape.

TheShy, who was kicked to death by Lin Ruo, quickly dropped to the zero-two category in terms of win rate.

This is... going up and down, then going up again...

TheShy was a bit dumbfounded; his buddy wasn't going to recall at all.

Ning, who had just come out of the fountain, was also a little annoyed. He had gotten a kill and invaded the enemy jungle, but instead of going back to replenish his equipment, he turned around and went straight for the enemy.

That's fast enough.

You think you're so high-level and have an advantage, so you can act recklessly?

Lin Ruo, who had just secured another kill, happily returned to base, immediately pulling out a large green jungle item and a pair of Mercury's Treads for crowd control immunity.

With this, the difficulty for IG's mid and jungle players, who are full of control abilities, to kill him will undoubtedly increase to another level.

The next goal is clear: take the Rift Herald and push the mid tower. The top tower was mostly destroyed after killing the captain, and Ornn can easily take it down by himself.

Ning, who had no chance of stealing the Rift Herald, figured his first task was naturally to go to the bottom lane and try to get revenge.

However, EDG had anticipated this. Compared to the reckless IG team, which often had vision gaps that led to invasions and tower dives, the meticulous EDG team was unlikely to make such mistakes.

Ning, who had his scanner activated, spotted the trinket ward as soon as he entered the bottom lane tri-bush area. Even the vision situation of Ryze, who came down from the F6 area to flank, was clearly detected by the true sight ward in the bush behind the red monster.

IG's gank on the bottom lane had been on the radar of the entire EDG team for a long time.

Tianye and iboy's duo tried their best to reduce the number of minions pushing into the tower. When the rune circle appeared behind the tower, Ryze and Sejuani, who had emerged from the bush, gathered together, ready to make their move.

Ornn's teleportation skill dropped immediately.

The minion wave entering the tower has fewer obstacles, and now another Ornn teleports down, plus Taric's ultimate which grants invulnerability.

IG's mid and jungle players lingered briefly before dispersing.

This tower is destined to be insurmountable.

Meanwhile, on the mid lane, Lin Ruo summoned the Rift Herald and easily smashed down the first tower, which wasn't at full health.

IG's desire to close the gap by killing and taking towers in the bottom lane to exchange resources not only failed completely.

The losses, on the contrary, have continued to grow.

Before long, the shaky upper tower also fell. In the 15-minute mark, the economic gap between the two sides had unknowingly widened to 4000 gold.

Ning, who had no choice but to trade the Wind Dragon for it, couldn't tolerate Zoe's forward movement in the mid lane, so he pinged and quickly moved closer to the lane to launch an attack.

It's Q-flash again.

But this time he failed to hit the swaying Zoe.

Ryze moves forward and uses his E to apply the passive Magic Surge effect. In the gap between Sejuani throwing out the chain, Zoe first uses her original Flash to dodge the chain to the side, so as to prevent Sejuani from quickly stacking four layers of her passive.

Then, they used the Flash they found to create distance again.

However, Ning's ultimate move, Frostbite, still hit Zoe, who hadn't fully created space. At the same time, he was also hit by the sleep bubble that was thrown at him.

Although Rookie managed to bring Zoe down to below half health after finding an opening, they still couldn't completely finish her off.

Because there are no skills that can directly kill Zoe after that, which is quite similar to the situation in the first wave at 3 minutes.

If we really have to find a difference, it's undoubtedly that the Lee Sin arrived just in time this time.

That's terrible, we're in trouble now.

Golden Bell Shield timely touched the controlled Zoe, followed by Q to kick away the approaching Sejuani, then a second kick to follow up, and Zoe's R to launch a flying star.

With only the jungle item at that moment, Ning was no match for the tons of damage. Lin Ruo made a move that almost instantly killed him.

The health bar disappearing spell, still on a pig.

The scene erupted in uproar.

This time, Rookie was smarter. Knowing that Zoe still had healing abilities, he didn't want to kill her head-on and turned to retreat towards his own territory.

Under Lin Ruo's relentless pursuit, he performed a drifting maneuver that combined a powerful move with invincibility.

It's a bit of a loss, but he's handsome, so that's all that matters.

"IG's current rhythm seems really chaotic," Rita remarked.

If this newly formed IG team fails to establish a rhythm in early and mid-game skirmishes, expecting them to focus on macro-management is virtually impossible.

They either seek opportunities or are given opportunities; clearly, they are now the ones being given opportunities.

When EDG's vision constantly invaded every corner of the jungle, and Ornn's figure kept roaming back and forth between the top and mid lanes, it created a very suffocating atmosphere for IG.

Baolan, who thought he could safely scout vision with Braum, was hit by Lee Sin's Q the next second after he placed a bubble in mid-air, and was kicked back by Lee Sin's ward hop.

Scout Zoe's wide-ranging poke and lottery-like effects are fully demonstrated at this moment.

Even Lin Ruo had to admit that Li Zuoyi was no joke.

As long as the bubble can touch a person, he can easily finish them off by adding a series of damage.

With all three outer turrets down, the only consolation for IG might be that TheShy, left unattended in the top lane, quietly took down the top turret. Unfortunately, this small improvement doesn't solve IG's current predicament; with such fragmented vision, their rhythm has completely collapsed.

Just 20 minutes into the game, EDG entered their usual Baron Nashor-hunting mode. With Vayne on the team, their speed was quite impressive even without vision.

Having learned from the previous game, IG was extremely cautious. When they discovered that there were very few EDG players online, Ning, who was in the red buff area, pinged towards the dragon pit early on.

Arriving at the back of the dragon pit, I placed the trinket eye, and the roaring dragon's health dropped by more than half.

Aside from Sejuani, who has a mobility skill and is lurking behind the Dragon Pit, the rest of IG grouped up and walked into the river to apply pressure in front of the Dragon Pit.

With a true sight ward placed below, TheShy's Gangplank also activated his teleport and was on his way.

"Should we keep fighting? Or should we retreat?" Tianye hesitated, having already decided to back down in the dragon pit.

The key point is that he's not a dive-in Alistar, but he's willing to go out and risk his life to stop IG from coming.

"Go ahead and attack! Why not? Just give it your all!" Lin Ruo's words were firm, prompting Tian Ye to unleash a dazzling array of starlight.

With a single ultimate move, Zoe, who was poking in the tri-bush, was eliminated, and the four EDG players in the pit instantly entered an invincible state where they would not lose any health.

It was at this moment that the group that arrived at IG launched a fierce and desperate attack.

With the Baron's health about to drop to zero, Ning used his ultimate to break the stalemate, but the EDG team was prepared and protected by the Gem Star Power.

With his ultimate ability proving ineffective, Ning followed the landing of the captain, whose barrage of attacks echoed through the dragon pit, and rushed into the pit as well.

"Give me the big one, give me the big one," Lin Ruo said calmly over the voice message.

Ornn summoned a goat and charged out, hitting Sejuani who was coming down from above.

Realizing that he would lose the chance to steal the dragon once he was knocked into the air, Ning panicked and used his ultimate to reduce the dragon's health to around 100 points.

After completing the psychological warfare, Lin Ruo used the final Dragon buff to his advantage.

They successfully secured the dragon, but being trapped in the dragon pit was not good news for them given their current position.

Because this is a position where you're bound to get attacked.

JKEZ unleashed his crescent-shaped ultimate, accurately striking three EDG players inside the dragon pit at close range.

With his shield raised, Baolan Braum took the lead, unleashing a devastating ultimate to create a better output environment for the two carries behind him.

Lin Ruo slipped away and chose to dodge to safety. At this point, only a fool would fight head-on and risk being wiped out.

A sudden flash of golden light.

Ornn, Vayne, and Gem Knight all used Flash to get ashore.

The situation reversed instantly, with all EDG players rushing outside the dragon pit, while all IG players rushed inside.

The two sides faced each other across a wall. As Zoe unleashed a Starfall into the dragon pit, the five members of IG were hesitant to follow up with a Flash.

The EDG team, having retreated in time, currently has relatively low health. Facing off in the advantageous terrain of the pit where no encirclement has been formed, recklessly charging in would definitely not be a good way to capitalize on their advantage.

EDG took the lead by moving down to the jungle entrance and securing the area leading to the mid lane, where Zoe continuously poked and blocked IG's path.

With an already advantageous minion wave and dragon buff, EDG pulled off a surprising counter-strategy, grouping up and pushing down the middle tower in one fell swoop, turning their escape into an offensive.

"Huh? They ran away to IG?" The commentator was a little dumbfounded.

EDG's operation in this wave was better than he expected, turning what should have been a disorganized retreat after securing Baron into a hysterical push with the Baron buff.

The problem is that no one can stop IG right now, because they are all left far behind.

Rita looked shocked: "We're going to the highlands! This is it!"

With the buff from the enhanced soldiers, EDG, now fully recovered, swiftly destroyed the mid-lane inhibitor tower. With the Baron buff in hand, IG dared not engage in a direct confrontation.

Those who need to return to base to defend should do so, while those who need to follow Ryze and harass him from the front should do so.

IG, a team known for its aggressive playstyle, isn't unwilling to fight. With Sejuani and Braum forming a double Glacial duo, they are undoubtedly a good team to initiate fights. However, at this moment, their ultimate abilities are still on cooldown.

Lacking the ability to initiate team fights, they were forced to let EDG's five players destroy the crystal and leave.

What's the use of a home? We've already given it away!

This is supposed to be called a "Galactic Battleship"? What a coward!

[I heard IG is really good at fighting, but wait, why aren't they fighting?]

[They were completely outmaneuvered by EDG, it's hilarious.]

[What if you don't back down? They have the Baron buff, and you don't even have an initiation skill. Are you just going to let EDG push your base to the ground?]

[So, should we just have the entire EDG team retreat, replenish their equipment, and then push for victory? Since they're all going to die anyway, might as well have gone all in from the start.]

Alright, it looks like we're going to lose anyway, so let's just start the game. Since we've already lost, let's play!

[Wasn't Sejuani just sitting there doing nothing? She fed kills to Lin in just 3 minutes.]

The live chat was buzzing with discussion, and Mafa in the IG rest room was already feeling utterly exhausted.

This competition is just too difficult to play.

You can't win a fight, and when you want to fight, you can't. Mafa just wants to ask one question: when will this agonizing match end?

Upon seeing Lin Ruo's equipment build, Mafa couldn't help but feel disgusted. Plate armor plus an adaptive helmet with magic resistance components—who was he trying to torture with that?

Lin Ruo, who had neatly piled up the meat, steadily walked out of the spring. This must be the meatiest he has ever been.

His reason for this build was simple: it wasn't to make Vayne feel comfortable auto-attacking from behind. He just wanted to experience what it was like to be unkillable by others.

I wonder what JK, who plays Ezreal, would think if she saw this.

Dare to imagine?

At this moment, JK dared not even think about it; with Lin Ruo like this, he was too embarrassed to even consider A.

If you don't get the Resurrection Armor, just keep messing with him.

Sitting next to him, Ning sighed helplessly. Even through his dark skin, one could see obvious signs of redness. The difference in jungle performance between the two games was really damaging to his confidence.

This was the worst BO3 he had ever suffered since joining the LPL, bar none.

With all members fully replenished, EDG pushed up to the high ground from the bottom lane again. The unwilling IG members responded with a fierce team fight. Lin Ruo was too lazy to go up and perform any R-flash spinning kicks.

He was chasing after AQ in the front row, and he wanted to see if IG could impress him.

Anyway, the two carries definitely can't damage him; the only one who can is the captain.

However, the captain was quickly killed by Vayne.

Amidst the chilling triple kill voice chat, Lin Ruo watched as the well-farmed iboy Vayne wreaked havoc in the team fight, swiftly destroying the base.

It's not that he's particularly good at it.

Instead, they had tanks in front of them, especially Ornn and Lee Sin, so IG really couldn't break through.

As for the pig on the other side? You call him meat, no, he's a piglet.
