LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 476 Killing two people in two and a half minutes isn't too much to ask, right?

With the two support heroes out, it becomes clear what KZ's fifth-floor pick will be.

There's no reason for Xayah and Rakan to be separated, so they will most likely follow the recently popular jungle carry strategy, taking Smite and laning together in the mid lane so that the AD can use Smite to farm ahead.

Given the current weakness of the bot lane, this approach effectively avoids the disadvantage in AD carry development, thus quickly meeting the requirements for combat.

Khan's plummeting performance is probably the main reason why KZ did this.

Therefore, KZ's last pick will not be a jungler, but rather a mage from the mage lineup to supplement the mage carry's output while ensuring the bot lane's strength.

This way.

EDG's subsequent fourth and fifth picks were quite clear: since KZ had chosen a standard bottom lane that went mid, they needed a standard bottom lane that went bottom to counter them.

EZ became the best answer.

Support Shen can't stay in the bot lane; Ezreal is the perfect ADC to play alone, bar none.

After the bottom lane was selected, the final mid lane hero became the focus of everyone's attention.

The long-awaited Lissandra is about to make her appearance.

EDG's aggressive lineup and style also made the audience extremely excited.

"We still need to stick to the mid-jungle strength. Lissandra's pick is undoubtedly the best choice. Even if KZ's bot lane goes mid, I won't be afraid. With Camille, the damage output is definitely enough. We can definitely put up a fight."

The commentators, known as the "Haier Brothers," exclaimed that this was exactly the kind of team EDG was, and that they would never let down their core player, Lin Ruo, even if it meant sacrificing anyone else's rhythm.

This match was undoubtedly another absolute showcase of Lin Ruo's ability to control the game's tempo.

With KZ finalizing their draft pick, Swain, both teams have now completed their lineup selections.

Amidst the cheers filling the arena, Miller quickly repeated the lineups for both sides: "EDG on the blue side, Aatrox in the top lane, Camille in the jungle, Lissandra in the mid lane, and Ezreal and Shen in the bot lane duo."

"KZ on the red side, Darius in the top lane, Peanut playing Alistar in the jungle, Xayah and Rakan duo in the mid lane, and Swain in the bot lane."

The voice just fell.

With the internet speed at maximum, the ten players on both sides entered Summoner's Rift in an instant.

Lin Ruo was already very familiar with Camille, so he followed the same old rule: if Camille stayed put and farmed the jungle in the early game, he would consider it a loss.

However, he didn't expect that KZ had changed so much this time.

It seems that MSI couldn't even beat Haro, who came off the bench, which made him realize the truth even more clearly.

Surprisingly, they no longer advocate for playing around Ueno, and when Peanut was in poor form, they simply let him play Alistar.

Can someone who's never played a support role in their entire life really pull it off?

Alright then, anyway, if I glance at the bottom lane even once more, I'll consider it a loss for Lin Ruo.

"I'll come at level two and I'll definitely get first blood." After buying his starting items, Lin Ruo quickly explained his opening strategy.

"Are you trying to get first blood in the bottom lane?" Tianye almost swallowed his words as soon as they left his mouth. Coming to the bottom lane would just be feeding, wouldn't it? There was absolutely no chance.

Then the only option left is to set off.

However, it's a bit difficult to gank top at level two, since Aatrox isn't a hard CC king like Renekton.

Jin Gong, who shared the same thought, said with a hint of reluctance: "It's not good for him to come to the top lane. Lin, you should farm first, and it's best to deal with him when you reach level three."

Level 2 is indeed difficult for a sword demon to deal with.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruo wiped her hands and laughed, "I'm not going up or down, I mean I'm going for the middle."

He couldn't resist adding a sarcastic remark: "Two levels of control, one above and one below? You two are really delusional."

Anyway, Lin Ruoke never thought that what he was going to do was to go to the mid lane to make an arrest at level two.

"Are you sure? Let's go then." Scout thought for a moment and decided that catching the target was definitely worth a try.

Although the opposing duo is in the mid lane, a 2v2 situation doesn't mean they can't get kills.

The reason is simple: does Camille and Lissandra lack in terms of control? No.

Is it lacking in damage output? No.

Then you should definitely gank. Focus on Rakan if he's likely to push forward or provide vision; the chances of a kill will obviously be much higher.

Because Rakan is an extremely squishy champion in the early game; basically, if you catch him, he's dead.

It can't compare to a crow.

It was precisely because of these three points that Lin Ruo believed that focusing on the center was the inevitable way to establish rhythm.

Since it's time to act at level two, Lin Ruo's target for clearing the jungle is naturally the lower half of the map. Only by taking down the red monsters and leveling up to level two can he ensure that his damage output meets the requirements.

Start with a basic attack followed by a Q to kite the enemy, and while attacking, move the red monster to the F6 area to make it easier and save time to leave.

Camille's solo engage was no ordinary damage; she leveled up to level 2 manually without using Smite, and Lin Ruo's health inevitably dropped by more than half right after the fight.

On the other side, almost all four members of KZ opened the blue buff, helping Xayah get the first buff at the start of the game and accelerate her development.

Both sides were openly farming jungle camps.

KZ's four players had previously infiltrated the red pit and left spies there. The reason their own duo didn't come to help open it was precisely because they were harassing the blue area.

EZ is a ranged champion, so as long as iboy doesn't use his E to get close to the enemy, he might not be able to win fights in the early game, but he definitely won't have any problems pushing lanes.

Therefore, without any help in opening lanes or any need to rush to secure lane priority, it's worthwhile to try and harass the enemy in the blue buff area, as it can at least slow down the enemy's mid and bot lanes from returning to their lanes.

After defeating the red monster, Lin Ruo, with a clear direction, walked straight into the upper jungle. After glancing at the blue monster that she should normally attack, she turned her Camille towards the river.

In conventional thinking, when starting with red buff and ganking mid, players usually go directly from the bottom jungle to the river.

Therefore, if Luo were to place wards, it would only be in the lower half of the river area.

The upper part of the river is rarely visited.

Furthermore, KZ could hardly have imagined that Camille would arrive so early, completely disregarding the issue of equal numbers.

Therefore, Lin Ruo had made up her mind that the KZ duo would not be too wary of the upper half of the map, and this operation, whether successful or not, would at least be a surprise attack.

"Here we go again? A classic level 2 gank on the bottom, oh no, on the middle! That's way too daring, Lin Shen."

Miller, in the commentary booth, breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ruo's style of doing things is like this, except that in this game, Camille didn't help with the opening, and started using health potions after leveling up to level two at the red buff.

If you don't get anything from the mid lane, then you're definitely falling behind in jungle clearing.

Although the opposing team doesn't seem to have a proper jungler.

Furthermore, once caught, it's definitely a sure early-stage takeoff.

It's a very simple duality; you just look at the positive or negative aspects.

As Camille moved closer and closer to the mid lane, Miller became increasingly aware that it seemed to be the case, because the KZ duo's positioning clearly did not anticipate Camille's sudden arrival.

Or perhaps they anticipated this, so they positioned themselves in the upper half of the map to clear the minion wave.

This idea is based on the possibility that Camille might take the red buff and then use the blind spot in the bottom jungle to enter the river and gank.

But as it turns out, the opposite is true.

Such a stance inevitably exposes one's back to the view.

When the duo goes mid, Xayah has an early buff and can almost stay on the same screen as Lissandra, who can solo kill, as she levels up to level two. In contrast, Rakan's leveling speed is much slower.

At least until Lin Ruo arrives, Luo will not show any obvious signs of advancing to the second level.

Lin Ruo had originally intended to lie in wait for a moment, but before even entering the bush, she had already spotted an excellent opportunity to gank through the minion wave vision. Luo Tai was close in.

There was no time to wait. The moment he entered the grass, he used E to hook onto the wall next to him, and then, after a little charging, he shot out in an unstoppable manner.

The next moment, he accurately kicked the grass and landed on Luo's head, followed by an A followed by a Q to unleash the Fragile effect from the Power Attack and the burning effect from the Red Monster.

All of these factors combined resulted in a significant amount of damage, directly reducing the health of Rakan, who was so squishy he was practically an AD carry, by more than a third.

"Damn, so suddenly?"

Gorilla was startled by the sudden attack and was still in shock when he realized what was happening. However, knowing how to value his life, he instinctively frantically pressed the Flash button.

He's very weak right now; not only is he vulnerable, but he could also be easily defeated.

more importantly.

Because Xia carries the Smite buff, she lacks healing abilities and therefore cannot provide him with any assistance.

Therefore, the safest approach is to use Flash immediately after breaking free from crowd control, and then learn the W skill to create distance.

However, despite his best wishes, Gorilla's hands were almost numb from pressing the buttons, and he still couldn't use Flash to create distance between himself and Camille.

Because just as Camille's control was released, Scout's Lissandra flashed in and followed up with another control.

The W skill, Frost Ring, spreads an icy aura, dealing magic damage to surrounding enemies and applying a binding effect, pinning them to the spot once again.

The combined damage from the two is quite explosive.

First blood.

The second kick landed, and the first blood was quickly drawn.

With absolutely no room to move, Gorilla was thus conveniently and utterly immobilized and killed.

"Beautiful! A perfect kill! Is this Lin Shen's rhythm?"

Amidst cheers that surged like a mighty river, the vast Dalian Gymnasium, which had been quiet for only a short while, erupted in an unstoppable burst of energy.

The commentator was also very excited.

"This level 2 gank in the mid lane and the kill was a huge win. It not only gave Camille, who needed to get going in the early game, a chance to take off."

"And it kills two birds with one stone by limiting the development space that KZ's core Xayah needs from the start. If they can kill Xayah once later, KZ will definitely be unable to play."

Don't forget, Xia carries the punishment.

With Rakan dead, Pray can only stay obediently in the mid lane. Pushing the lane to farm the F6 or taking the red buff is now wishful thinking.

Because all of these now belong to Lin Ruo.

Having brazenly invaded the red zone, Lin Ruo's first priority, in order to maximize his profits, would undoubtedly be to eliminate the red zone controlled by KZ.

As for F6, it's highly unlikely they'll be able to take it, because Rakan will quickly go online to counter-push and then take Xayah into the jungle to mitigate the damage.

This seems to be an inevitable outcome for both sides.

So Lin Ruo, who always liked to catch his opponents off guard, started again.

I'm not eating red anymore, I'm eating people.

Miller, who was still savoring the mid-lane kill, suddenly stopped talking and couldn't help but shudder as he watched Camille's movements.

"Is Lin Shen going to catch them right away? My God, that's too fast!"

It's incredibly fast.

Moreover, Camille's position was quite unusual. In Miller's view, Lin Ruo chose to go through KZ's red zone, intending to flank from the direction of the Krugs.

Comparing Darius's actions at that moment, it was a near-perfect prediction.

Worried that Camille would take the red buff and cause trouble in the top lane, Khan was very cautious. He retreated and left a ward in the tri-bush area the moment Camille invaded the jungle, preparing to scout.

Lin Ruo's flank maneuver perfectly bypassed the triangular grassy area, eliminating any possibility of being exposed halfway through.

Darius returned to his lane, and Lin Ruo had already moved Camille to the backline to block vision, avoiding the possibility of being seen by the wards in the tri-bush behind the wall, while also not being exposed to the turret's vision range.

Just wait patiently for 20 seconds.

As the new wave of minions moved forward, Khan's pace also shifted several steps towards the front line.

"That's enough." After confirming, Lin Ruo immediately manipulated the Blue Steel Shadow to appear in the field of vision and walked out along the path with elegant steps.

Khan's face turned black almost instantly.

Dude, you really only eat people, not wild animals.

Before Darius could even take a few steps back, Aatrox had already landed a precise Q-Flash, decisively knocking up Darius who had just moved forward and was trying to retreat.

Then came Camille's flying kick.

As Darius panicked and tried to dodge with a Flash, the kick still landed firmly on his head, keeping him rooted to the spot.

Another E-flash!
A murmur of surprise erupted from the audience.

Meanwhile, in the LPL lounge, Letme, who was relaxing and watching the game, suddenly couldn't help but start shaking.

How should I put it, this move is very familiar.

It reminded him of his captain at the beginning of the Spring Split, who was also caught by Lin Ruo in the same way, controlled and killed completely when Lin Ruo made a flash prediction.

Same location, same story.

And the same result.

The difference this time is that GimGoon made the first move, and very subtly avoided using his W skill when he used Flash to knock up the enemy with his Q skill.

Since Darius is destined to use Flash, using his W skill is pointless.

So when Darius flashes away but is still caught in place by Lin Ruo's prediction, the W skill becomes extremely useful.

Darius used his E skill to dash forward, then unleashed his W skill, creating a chain that appeared out of nowhere in the ground and ensnared the helpless Darius.

Moments later, Darius who hasn't left the area will be dragged to the back center and injured again, at which point he'll have no way out.

If Darius has Ghost, then Khan has a good chance to create distance before the chains take effect.

Unfortunately, this isn't a ranking match; this is a competition.

Khan carries a team-based teleportation ability.

This meant that once under Camille's control, the helpless Khan was unable to escape the chains binding him in a short time.

Therefore, the only thing that could greet him was to be pulled back.

There's no doubt it's game over; Camille's double kick sent chills down Khan's spine.

No one but Letme could truly understand the extent to which that experience was so profound.

Perhaps Gorilla, who just gave up his first kill, could empathize a little, though not much.

Lin Ruo was already in a state of near death before the firecracker came out.

So you can't get a full meal at all.

But at this moment, Khan had eaten his fill.

This double-bang kick was so powerful that it could pierce through his body and soul with a single blow, filling him completely and leaving him dazed and confused as he returned to the spring to report.
