LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 354 The Wild Boar Rider is Here!

Under the rhythmic war song, the ten players from both sides quickly entered Summoner's Rift.

At the start of the match, the mid and bot lanes of both sides probed each other in the river area near the bottom lane. EDG, who intended to invade and place wards, gave up the idea after being fiercely resisted by Snake's mid and bot lane duo.

The game has already begun.

Olaf's early-game 1v1 ability in the jungle is second to none, especially in patch 8.4, where vision is often very limited, allowing Olaf to easily invade. With both buffs, once he gets close enough to lock down an enemy, he can basically secure a kill.

Therefore, EDG was determined to invade early on to catch Olaf's jungle movements, otherwise Sejuani's survival would be greatly threatened.

In the early game ganks, Olaf is quite reliant on his teammates. If his teammates have crowd control, he's easy to kill; just use Q to stick to him. If his teammates don't have crowd control, it's more troublesome.

At the same time, ganking depends on whether the opponent is pushing the lane. If they are, gank from behind. If they are not pushing the lane, farm the jungle and invade, focusing on farming as much as possible.

Therefore, Olaf is a champion who can move freely in and out of the game to some extent.

But Pig Girl is different.

Lin Ruoke can't farm jungle camps, so Sejuani, like Zac, has to set the pace in the early game.

If Olaf stubbornly stays in the jungle to farm, he can easily gain a significant lead in the game simply by farming.

"Olaf should go solo with the three wolves, so there's no need to force him to do any more scouting."

Lin Ruo, who was staying in the red den, analyzed the situation and decided to start the fight with the bottom lane duo when the time came.

Although he doesn't play ranked games on the Korean server, he still keeps up with all the current jungle strategies.

The buffed Olaf's three-wolves opening is one of the so-called professional strategies. With his extremely strong ability to solo jungle monsters, he will not lose health and can also avoid the pressure of a duo helping him open.

For a weaker team composition, advancing ahead with the minions to secure kills can alleviate laning pressure and further amplify any advantage.

Why not do it.

Neither of the two bot lane duos are strong at level 1, but Snake's bot lane duo, which went online first, will undoubtedly be able to control the bot lane.

After defeating the red monster and leveling up to level 2, Lin Ruo chose to start with a quick level 3 run, as always.

As I said before, Sejuani absolutely cannot farm too much jungle camps in the early game, as this will only hurt herself and others. What she needs to do is level up as quickly as possible and start finding her rhythm.

Red monster—blue monster—toad, this is the best and classic way to do things in Speed ​​3.

Compared to Olaf, it's impossible to farm like Sejuani. Olaf farms without harming himself, and recklessly ganking might not create any momentum.

Therefore, SoFM adopts a conventional playstyle, clearing the entire bottom jungle before slowly returning to the top jungle.

Regardless of anything else, at least this way his development will definitely be much better than Sejuani's from the start.

However, in this way, Lin Ruo, playing Sejuani in Speed ​​3, will undoubtedly be able to reasonably control the river crab first.

At this moment, other Sejuani players would either go to the top lane to counter-gank or try to use a Q-flash to initiate a hard-flash combo in the mid bush.

But Lin Ruo didn't think that way, because his Pig Girl was an invincible boar rider, and what a rider had to do was to go forward without ever retreating.

So Lin Ruo boldly maneuvered Sejuani to approach the Dragon Pit, using Arctic Strike to rush over the wall and arrive at the area behind the Red Monster, brazenly venturing into Snake's red side jungle.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky. As soon as she entered the bushes behind the red monster, she fell into the line of sight of the zombie guard. After clearing the fake eye with a normal attack, Lin Ruo glanced at the unharmed red monster and decided to retreat immediately.

He has determined Olaf's jungle route. Although he could probably figure it out without even looking, at least he has a general idea of ​​what to expect.

SoFM, already on guard, destroyed the F6 camp and headed up, first throwing an axe into the bush next to the red monster as a sign of respect before confidently farming the jungle.

However, just a second into the fight, when Gnar blatantly came down from the tri-bush in the top lane, the Vietnamese player, sensing something was wrong, picked up his axe and retreated from the red pit.

This red monster is unbeatable.

With Gnar already here, is there any need to even think about Sejuani's position?
Of course, there's no need to think about it.

The next second, Lin Ruo turned back and followed closely behind Olaf. What the audience saw now was a pig chasing Olaf.

And somehow, they even caught up with each other.

Olaf's Q ability, Arctic Rush, allows him to dash forward and knock up opponents, followed by a basic attack. Olaf then throws his flail, dealing physical damage and applying a frost effect.

It starts at three levels.

SoFM turned around and threw his axe to slow down Olaf, who then landed his fourth auto-attack. Olaf, frozen in place, stood motionless like an ice sculpture.

Lin Ruo followed up with a heavy basic attack, dealing over 30 points of magic damage.

Doesn't it hurt? No, it still hurts quite a bit, after all, this is Sejuani's highest damage skill, bar none.

In short, the Vietnamese guy had barely hit the red monster once, and before he could even take a look at the stone beetle, he was swiftly knocked down to the second tower and was about to AFK.

This is a huge humiliation for Olaf, and even more so for SoFM, who has always only invaded other people's jungle.

He attributed everything to a single point: why choose a large tree to withstand the pressure?!
As Flandre said before, did I have a choice?

On the surface, he is the counter position on the fifth floor of the red team, but in fact he is a complete sacrifice position in the team. EDG has accurately targeted him, so the situation cannot develop in the direction they want.

Lin Ruo, who had benefited from the situation, turned around and, together with GimGoon, who had arrived, destroyed the red buff.

Whether it's a pig or a girl doesn't really matter. No matter what kind of jungler, as long as their own lane has lane priority, they can most likely be strong.

Of course, there's another story about top laners who always push the lane and never check wards in the jungle.

"Only 3 minutes into the game, Sejuani has already stolen Olaf's red buff?"

The commentators seemed somewhat dazed.

EDG's early game strategy seemed unexpected, but it was also quite reasonable in terms of catching everyone off guard. As long as there were people behind them, Sejuani's invasion was not impossible.

This is probably why Gnar became GimGoon's most frequently chosen pick that season: by pushing the lane, he helped Lin Ruo establish an early advantage in the jungle.

This has led EDG to focus heavily on the laning phase in their draft picks, but this focus certainly doesn't include the bot lane.

"That's really bad for Olaf, he didn't even get his first red buff in the early game."

Rita, who was standing next to her, was also incredulous.

Sejuani eats Olaf's red? She just can't understand these words together.

But losing just one red buff is fine, because Sejuani did something even more shameless next: while eating the red buff in the grass, she also had her eye on the stone beetle next to the wall.

A chain flail that seemed to dance across the wall startled SoFM, who then removed the giant stone beetle.

Lin Ruo is someone who never plays by the rules. How could he know that this guy might suddenly skip the red card and jump over the wall to choose to fight the punishment?

So SoFM had no choice but to use Smite, even though Olaf was using W to fight the Krugs and was actually more focused on healing, so he wouldn't lose any health at all.

In short, SoFM was disgusted.

Lin Ruo still felt somewhat guilty about this, but when she thought of the Vietnamese bandits, she had no reason to feel guilty. When it came to being disgusting, no one was as good as the Vietnamese inventors at using all sorts of dirty tricks to bully people.

Lin Ruo, ignoring the three wolves in his own jungle, swaggered through the lane with his sights set on the river crab. Frankly, the bot lane duo of iboy and Tianye were having a somewhat frustrating time, so showing up occasionally to relieve the pressure on their teammates in lane was quite necessary.

Arresting people is out of the question.

Although Kog'Maw doesn't have many mobility skills, it's really absurd that the Snake duo would still give him a chance knowing he was coming to the bottom jungle.

This is clearly not in line with the identity of a professional player.

Indeed, Lin Ruo realized in the next second that they did not meet the standards of professional players.

Because Da Kog'Maw didn't retreat in time, he was taunted by Tian Ye Shen's dash. That's right, Tian Ye didn't even use Flash, and just taunted the enemy ADC directly.

As Lin Ruo hurried down the road, a question mark involuntarily popped into her head.

No, Crystal, are you even human?

Since Snake traded away Queen O in the new season, Crystal, who has fully recovered from injury, has returned to the starting lineup and formed a fixed duo with Butterfly.

But obviously.

Crystal must have gotten used to playing support last season and thought it was normal to position himself forward and take the enemy support's skills.

Otherwise, even if Lin Ruo were beaten to death, he would never understand how Kog'Maw, who has no mobility, could be so easily taunted by Shen...

Although Hudie's Alistar knocked Shen away with a double knock-up, it gave Kog'Maw a chance to escape with Flash.

However, under the barrage of fire from the Magnum Gunner, escaping was clearly not very realistic, especially since Lin Ruo had already appeared offline at the opportune moment.

Seeing the big mouth right in front of her, Lin Ruo calmly used Extreme Cold Charge to close the distance with the big mouth, followed by an A followed by a W Chain Flail and another basic attack.

The fourth layer of frost effect had just been applied when Big Mouth couldn't withstand the damage and slunk down.

First blood.

Lin Ruo just picked up Crystal Bro's head like that, which can definitely be described as a windfall.

Moreover, this windfall wasn't just a one-off event.

Hudie, controlling Alistar, took advantage of the situation and used Flash to escape through the river, attempting to break free from the encirclement of EDG's three junglers and bottom laners.

However, despite the good idea, he didn't actually gain much of a lead over Sejuani. It's just that the river direction did offer a better chance of survival compared to his own tower, which had no way back.

However, it's just a possibility.

Lin Ruo, following Flash, pursued and intercepted the Minotaur, applying the frost effect that she had failed to apply to Kog'Maw earlier, freezing it in place and preventing it from moving.

With no way to escape, Hudie had no choice but to give up his live prey, allowing iboy to get his second kill.

The Vietnamese bandit who turned around and left as soon as he reached the river felt that someone in the team disliked him. Even though Pig Girl was walking down in front of him, she was still controlled because she was positioned too far forward.

His teammates either disliked him or were bad at the game, so SoFM evaluated his performance and chose the latter.

It's not that he thinks his teammates are bad, but that he believes in his own character. How could a teammate dislike someone as dedicated as him who works so hard for the team to win? It doesn't make sense.

Therefore, the only correct answer is the latter.

Forget it, let's go steal the F6 first. Helpless, SoFM went to the mid-lane river to steal the raptor and then happily went up. After clearing his own F6, he recalled to base and, following the usual routine, went to the bottom river bush to pretend to take a look.

His real target was the Krugs in the jungle, but unfortunately, the EDG duo acted like idiots and actually started a team fight in the lane.

Shen once again took control of Da Kou first, and Tian Ye successfully fell for Crystal's clumsy acting.

As Hudie's Tauren Chieftain turned around and used WQ to knock up the Cannon, the Vietnamese bandit, who was just casually passing by, inexplicably got a kill offline.

The process was strange, but it didn't affect his good mood at the moment. Getting the kill meant he was even with Sejuani.

You have money, and I have money. The Vietnamese no longer need to worry about the invasion of the pig girl's economic advantage.

After clearing the Krugs and Red Monsters in the lower jungle, Lin Ruo, now level six, went to the lane to help his duo, who were keen on exchanging favors, farm some minions they couldn't get their hands on.

Returning to base to buy the blue jungle item is now the most popular jungle item in competitive play, especially after the Sightstone jungle item was phased out.

Lin Ruo controlled Sejuani to first enter the top jungle and take the blue buff, then ignored the gromp and entered the river, clearly heading towards the opposite jungle.

Forget about ganking; firstly, it's extremely difficult to gank Azir in the mid lane because he has push, drift, and flash. Secondly, it's also difficult to gank him when he's pushing the lane in the top lane.

The reason is simple: Olaf is a god in counter-ganking.

Since we can't catch them online, the only option left is to invade their jungle.

no solution anymore,

Lin Ruo decided to forcefully steal the enemy's red buff, which was about to respawn at 8 minutes, to give the Vietnamese bandits a small shock like that of EDG's jungler.

The action is simple; just act according to the situation.

Hmm, I saw the refreshed chicken, so Lin Ruo decisively took action and reversed it first.

The mid-lane Azir's signal kept pinging in the vision, and the Vietnamese guy, knowing that Sejuani was trying to steal the chicken again, was furious. He immediately grabbed his double axes and rushed into the top jungle.

That's outrageous! He's never had his chicken stolen so blatantly before.

And isn't Lin Ruo always fond of ganking? He's not satisfied if he doesn't gank four or five times in 10 minutes. So why is he only going to the bottom lane once today, and spending the rest of the time watching his jungle?

SoFM feels that the fight was justified.

It seems Lin Ruo knows he is the core of the team, which is why he has targeted him repeatedly. SoFM sees this as proof of his value.

In Lin Ruo's view, he simply thought SoFM was easy to work with.

The truth is, it was indeed very easy to do. Lin Ruo easily reversed the refreshed F6 without encountering any effective obstacles.

There's no way around it, Sejuani is just too fast at clearing the F6 camp, faster than you can imagine.

The arriving Tsar Guoguo could only poke him a couple of times to vent his anger, and then watch Lin Ruo leisurely enter the river to chase and beat the river crabs.

SoFM, who arrived in a hurry, immediately attacked the spawned red monster. He had a feeling that Lin Ruo would not leave so easily. This was his usual strategy for invading and annoying people over the years, commonly known as returning to launch a surprise attack.

Therefore, in order to ensure the capture of the Red Monster, the Vietnamese dared not slack off in the slightest, and even called on the Tsar to help fight in order to ensure that they could take it down as soon as possible.

His actions were correct, because Lin Ruo was now controlling Sejuani through the Dragon Pit and standing in front of the Blast Fruit behind Red Monster.

The view left in the Red Monster Pit allowed Lin Ruo to see Olaf's every move, so he immediately stopped and went ashore to prepare for the charge.

What river crab? He stopped fighting it halfway through. It's not as important as the red monster.

Today's Red Monster will eat even the Heavenly King himself, so what if there's a Tsar next to him?

Excuse me.

He is a nimble pig.
