LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 367 Post-match Interview: Is it okay for me to do some advertising?

Green Hair had a good plan, but in reality, in less than ten minutes, EDG had already established a considerable advantage through Lin Ruo's continuous early-game tempo and unexpected lane swaps.

This advantage depends entirely on the mid and jungle. A high-damage Jarvan IV paired with a well-farmed Fizz will obviously be invincible in small-scale team fights.

In the Rift Herald team fight at 14 minutes, the Sejuani duo with synergy tried to harass and fight, and the naive Clid thought that Lin Ruo wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

However, he didn't notice Lin Ruo's upgraded equipment: a red jungle item, Mercury's Treads, and a small warhammer that symbolized his damage output.

The EQ combo knocked up the enemy, followed by a basic attack and then the ultimate. When the Alistar realized what was happening, he knocked away the Prince. At this point, for Lin Ruo, after dealing all his damage, he was just an insignificant character.

The Fizz from the side entered the fray and almost instantly killed Sejuani without even needing to use his ultimate.

Clid was utterly shocked as he watched his own blood melt away.

The prince took away more than half of his health with one combo, and the little fish man came in and easily took his head without even using all his skills.

With this playstyle... does Jhin even have a chance to survive in team fights?
Lin Ruo, who bought the Resurrection Armor, revealed the answer: there is absolutely no room for survival.

EDG's lineup focuses on melting damage. Rakan and Gnar enter the fray first to draw fire, while Jarvan IV and Fizz focus fire. On JDG's side, apart from Alistar with his ultimate active, no one can withstand the damage.

EDG won the first game very easily. Lin Ruo was almost always there when he entered the fray, because his damage alone was enough to cripple the opponent's damage dealers. When Xiao Yu Ren entered the fray, he was simply a dragon in motion.

The underdeveloped vampire couldn't stop the fishman from pushing the lane after 15 minutes, and the side lanes were completely destroyed. JDG, who were willing but powerless, could only fight team fights, but every fight resulted in a collapse.

When the match entered the second game, Lin Ruoli, who was playing the jungler position on the red side, gave Clid a lesson on what it means to be a "wild boar rider".

Instead of rushing to gank in the early game, Lin Ruo focused on preventing Camille jungle invasions and dealt with Clid's harassment with ease before launching her first attack at level six.

Venturing deep into the jungle and flanking from behind the Stone Beetle area, a sudden flick shot caught Varus off guard, effortlessly securing first blood for his own Caitlyn.

While Clid was still fighting for the red buff at 8 minutes, Lin Ruo once again ganked and tower-dived Varus, using Q-flash to catch him and kill him twice while he was clearing minions under the tower.

After losing a tower, JDG's bot lane suffered an unprecedented collapse in the early game.

Clid, once again the Miracle Walker, got anxious and attempted a tower dive in the mid lane, only to be caught by Lin Ruodai, who had just recalled to base, resulting in the game's defeat.

Camille jungle is like this: if she has a disadvantage in the early game, then when she enters the mid-game, it's not just that she can't stand still, but she will most likely be melted by firepower as soon as she lands.

Therefore, Clid in this game is equivalent to FW...

When the jungler, who is responsible for the team's tempo, does nothing throughout the game and is completely outmatched by the enemy jungler's tempo, the outcome of the game is obvious.

JDG, who barely managed to drag the game out to a little over 30 minutes, were completely outmaneuvered and killed by EDG after EDG gained an early advantage.

"As expected, the most outstanding rookie team of this season still had no resistance against last year's world champions, EDG. Congratulations to EDG for winning the game."

Amidst a deafening roar from the crowd, cheers for EDG continued unabated.

Miller, a veteran player, was also very excited and said: "Since the 13-game winning streak has reached the highest possible score in other groups in the West, we also want to congratulate EDG. They will directly secure the first place in the Western Conference group five rounds in advance and obtain a place in the playoffs semifinals."

Everyone knows that this means EDG has already stepped one foot into the finals.

In 18, without the double-elimination format, the importance of finishing first in the regular season group was greater than ever, because winning the group meant only one game was needed to advance to the semifinals and reach the finals.

One more game and we'll win the championship.

Compared to the double-elimination format where at least three best-of-five series are needed to win the championship, this is indeed much easier. However, none of this matters for EDG. The match had just ended, and Lin Ruo, who hadn't been on the interview stage for a long time, stood in the center of the camera as the MVP of the second game and the host Xiao Yu.

When he read out his long-unheard self-introduction, the viewers in the live broadcast room felt completely unfamiliar with him.

There's no way around it; since the Spring Split, Lin Ruo has only participated in a handful of post-match interviews. The reason is simple: he's gotten arrogant.

So now that Lin Ruo is back on the interview stage, excited viewers are expressing their strong desire in the live chat.

Is Lin Ruo short of money? Why is he standing in the post-match interview today?

[See? It's all your fault for making Lin Gou too much money. Now he doesn't participate in interviews after matches, he doesn't put on any entertainment value during live streams, and he even uses us viewers to make fun of him.]

[I didn't. I've been a freeloader for Lin Gengxin for a year, but I haven't even bought him a fan light stick.]

[Me neither. I never watch Lin Gou's live streams to boost his popularity; I only watch the replays, hehe.]

Amidst the wild cheers, Xiaoyu enthusiastically asked the first question: "In every game where Lin Ruo started, EDG won with a score of 2:0. Therefore, Lin Ruo is the only player this season to have a perfect record in both big games and small games. What are your thoughts on this?"

Lin Ruo didn't know what to say. He felt he should keep a low profile, so he decided to put on a little show and said sincerely, "Maybe it's because I'm the only man EDG is designated to carry. Although I don't want to overemphasize it, it's the truth."

Well, in Lin Ruo's opinion, he wasn't putting on airs at all, because when it comes to putting on airs, well, sorry, he has even more classic lines he hasn't said yet.

Xiao Yu, who was already used to it, couldn't stop the overwhelming cheers from the audience and could only quickly ask the second question: "EDG has already qualified as the top team in the group. What are your thoughts on the upcoming matches where there is no pressure at all?"

What do you think?

Does he have any more matches to play?
Lin Ruo, who took the microphone, shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any more matches, so there's no question of how I can comment on it."

Why should he continue playing when he already got first place in the group? Naturally, it's to support Ha Huang and use him for training. Lin Ruo thinks he has a great spirit of yielding.

It wasn't that he wanted to be lazy; it was that he was too eager to groom Harper as his successor.

After automatically filtering Lin Ruo's cup, Xiao Yu asked the third question, and then smiled at the audience before preparing to clock out.

"We all know that Lin Ruo recently reached the top of the Dota 2 Chinese server rankings. Since Lin Ruo enjoys playing games so much, could he recommend some fun and interesting games to our audience?"

Looking at the expectant audience, Lin Ruo answered the question without hesitation with four words: "League of Legends".

Xiao Yu was stunned when she heard this. When did Lin Ruo become so pragmatic?
It shouldn't be about talking about Overwatch, PUBG, or even card games like Dou Dizhu, but omitting the fact that his main job, League of Legends, is his style...

Xiao Yu didn't understand, but Lin Ruo quickly made her understand completely: "Why do I recommend League of Legends to all of you viewers? Because there are many exquisite skins to buy in League of Legends."

At this point, Lin Ruo changed the subject and said with a smile, "Well, at the same time, our EDG championship skins will also be launched in April. Please support Ashe, whose design I participated in and provided with the design opinions. Don't miss it, you won't lose out, you'll only get the most special effects and the most cost-effective skin in the entire league."

Xiaoyu: ...

She knew Lin Ruo was still the same Lin Ruo. Sure enough, there was a reason for her inexplicable praise of League of Legends. It turned out that she was promoting the upcoming release of the championship skins in advance.

With that kind of brain, it would be a shame if Lin Ruo didn't go into sales. She knows how to increase sales volume.

Lin Ruo understood, of course, so she didn't forget to promote the live stream at the end.

What's the ultimate goal of becoming famous? It's selling products via livestream, of course!
