LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 497 In the early stages, you dare to look down on a lowly soldier?
Lin Ruo, whose current level is not yet level six, is perfectly accepting of the result, even though she is being suppressed and temporarily unable to control the pace of the game.

What he can't accept is that if he can't do anything after passing Level 6, then he's definitely a miracle worker.

Of course, this miracle worker could be anyone, but it certainly wouldn't be his rhythm engine, Lin Ruo.

Once you reach level six, Lin Ruosuo believes that the first target should be the mid lane, not the more popular top lane.

There's really no need to go on the road.

Lin Ruo is quite certain that Taliyah will likely spend 60% of her time centered around the top lane. Given Mouse's current cautious approach, it will take a lot of effort for the Koreans to manage to gank her.

Just 6 minutes in, the Korean team methodically attempted a breakthrough, relying on Ryze's initiation with Flash + EW followed by crowd control.

However, Gnar had anticipated this perfectly. When Ryze not only deliberately controlled the minion wave in the mid-lane area, but even went into the bushes to create the illusion of recalling, Mouse, who had to step forward to avoid losing too much experience, knew exactly what was going on.

The Taliyah should be here soon.

The truth is that Kiin positioned himself at the right distance, and when Gnar got close, he flashed in and followed up with EW. As with his usual combo, as long as the positions were close, there was no possibility of missing any skills.

Unfortunately, just as Ryze flashed to attack, Mouse, who had been on edge the whole time, also used his E skill.

During the brief moment when he was being controlled, the bouncy Gnar managed to jump back a short distance, thus avoiding the Taliyah that came up from the river bushes.

Score's skill range couldn't reach anyone, and with his extremely fast movements, he chose to use Flash to unleash Rock Slash, but this control was still too childish against the ever-vigilant Mouse.

The key issue was the failure to connect with Ryze's control. Mouse, who had already broken free of the control effects, easily dodged the fatal threat by flashing and switching with Ryze, leaving Score with no choice but to give up in frustration.

This attempt was a failure for the Korean team, as they lost two Flash abilities. Although the real storm begins after level six, they had already expended a lot of energy in this probing gank.

the other side.

Lin Ruo, who was still active in the Shimonoseki area, finally turned her attention to the middle lane, which she had been planning to visit for a long time.

He hasn't passed the CET-6 exam yet.

However, both mid laners were already at level six. It wasn't that he really wanted to see them, but mainly because Xiaohu was being suppressed too badly.

Lin Ruo had a feeling that something was about to happen. He was waiting for Faker's move to see if there was any aggressive possibility that would give him a chance to take the initiative.

As it turns out, when heroes like Fiora and Irelia clash, a peaceful laning phase without fighting is absolutely impossible, even for the notoriously steady Faker.

Lin Ruo, who was switching to the top lane, hadn't paid attention to the mid lane for a few seconds, but the two sides suddenly started fighting and were evenly matched.

Fiora is on top, Irelia is on the bottom.

As the weaker party, Xiaohu was constantly being chased and attacked. At this moment, Fiora seized the opportunity when Xiaohu was at half health and activated her R skill to attack the opening. The two fought all the way to the area near the turret.

After Irelia's E skill, Twin Blades, was blocked by Fiora's W skill, Heart of Laurent, she completely lost her ability to fight, giving away an opening and being hit down to only one-third of her health.

Dying, dying.

Fearing he would be solo killed, Xiaohu hastily threw out his R skill [Vanguard Blade]. Immediately afterward, a row of exquisite blades grazed Fiora's face, completely missing.

This is even better; they are completely powerless to fight back.

Xiao Hu could only turn left and right without looking back, trying to avoid the opening, but it seemed to be of no use. So he had no choice but to use his W skill to condense into a ball to resist the opponent's damage as much as possible.

This led Faker, who initially only sought to take down low-health enemies, to suddenly see a deadly threat. "You've already missed your ultimate and used your survival skills, so why should I be afraid?"
of course not.

But who would have thought that a pig might happen to be passing by behind them?

Lin Ruo, who had arrived at the sound, controlled Sejuani and went down under the turret. She spotted Fiora chasing her and unexpectedly used her Q-Flash to crash into her.

A loud thud was heard, accompanied by a deep impact.

Obviously, Faker, without his W skill, couldn't dodge this sudden attack. He was interrupted and stunned in place, unable to move.

What awaited him was a whip lashing his face. Combined with the Irelia's basic attack, Lin Ruo almost instantly maxed out his Frostbite passive, and with a light tap, he completely immobilized Fiora in place.

It was only then that Faker finally realized something was wrong, because he seemed to be about to die.

Sejuani may be a herbivore, but her early-game combo deals considerable damage, not to mention the attacks from Irelia when she recovers.

And the worst part is...

The second wave of blue team minions almost arrived at the same time as Sejuani, which meant that there were not only two enemy heroes in front of her, but also two waves of minions intertwined.

This damage has clearly exceeded the limit.

Even though Faker didn't lose much health initially due to Irelia, it was still more than Faker could handle at this point.

The outcome proved that Fiora didn't even have a chance to use Flash. With her older brother by her side, Xiaohu directly attacked her at close range and used Ignite, successfully picking up the kill that was practically in his mouth.

Seeing the beautiful gold coins entering his account, Xiao Hu's worried expression changed from being chased and beaten to a beaming smile in the voice chat: "Good thing you came, Brother Lin, it's all thanks to you."

"Of course, who is your Brother Lin? He saw Brother Li chasing you from afar, so of course he'd come to help."

Lin Ruo, having not only failed to secure a kill but also used Flash, responded with a fake smile. While Xiao Hu was still excited, she secretly punished a cannon minion, finally feeling satisfied that the arrest and Flash-using incident was worthwhile.

He always takes all the kills when he's ganking, never letting anyone else get a kill. Clearly, Xiaohu doesn't understand the rules, so Lin Ruo has decided not to come next time.

Of course, there was another reason why Lin Ruo didn't come: "Wait, what's the meaning of your ultimate move?"

A close-range ultimate that misses is indeed something Lin Ruo has never heard of before, so it's perfectly reasonable for Lin Ruo to question Xiao Hu's skill in playing Irelia.

He has reason to suspect that Xiaohu's Irelia is a product of Letme's style, and even more reason to suspect that there will be various other "Xu Teacher" (a nickname for a player) coming to patrol the mountain (a metaphor for a player's style of play) in the future. What if he suddenly pulls a trap when he comes to gank in the next wave?

Therefore, Lin Ruo felt that his decision not to help was not because he had lost kills; he had a reasonable explanation.

"Missed the ultimate? I did that to lure Fiora. If I hadn't missed, she definitely wouldn't have continued chasing. It was a strategy, Brother Lin." Xiao Hu said seriously, without any attempt to hide his mistake. If Lin Ruo hadn't seen with her own eyes that someone's hand was shaking when they missed the ultimate, she probably would have believed it.

Well, having accidentally taken out two minions, Lin Ruo chose to leave quietly.

However, after a short while, Lin Ruo returned at Xiao Hu's request. Normally, Fiora would have lost the lane without teleporting, but Score's Taliyah appeared at just the right time to block the minion wave.

Isn't this just forcibly blocking Faker from eating?
It was impossible to let him have his way. With Xiaohu returning to base with low health, Lin Ruo controlled Sejuani to go back and push the minion wave.

Blocking such a large wave of minions is very costly, and now that Sejuani is coming back, Score doesn't dare to stand outside the tower anymore. He can only retreat temporarily and prepare to go back to the tower.

This means that the minion wave is definitely not going to be able to be held and can't be left for Fiora, so Score has no choice but to reluctantly take it, first laying down a stone trap, then throwing stones, and if all else fails, he uses a rock spike.

However, in the end, the minion wave was not cleared before it reached the tower. There were too many minions, causing Score to lose a third of his health due to the combined attack.

Then, under Sejuani's pressure, Score could only hastily retreat to the turret, but not very far, seemingly determined not to let the rest of the minions enter the turret.

Lin Ruo, who was watching from the sidelines, did not expect that this Taliyah would be so brave, daring to clear the minion wave right in front of him, and most importantly, she had not even created a suitable distance between them.

How to put it, this unsuitable distance is such that Lin Ruo could walk up and control Pig Girl to flick her whip and just hit her.

It was in that instant that Lin Ruo inadvertently discovered the so-called murderous intent.

Because Taliyah is still holding off the so-called minion wave, and most importantly, mage heroes generally have one characteristic: they are as squishy as AD carries in the early game, meaning they can only be hit by a whip followed by a basic attack.

Taliyah's health was suddenly reduced by more than half, and only then did Score think to quickly retreat from the edge of the turret back to the turret.

However, Lin Ruo had already used her Q skill to charge forward, leaving Taliyah at the edge of the turret without hesitation. Her basic attack followed by the Frost passive instantly froze the target.

As the explosive basic attack damage was unleashed, another Deep Blue Smite was fired, and Taliyah's health almost reached zero in an instant, while a number of minions continued to fire basic attacks.

Lin Ruo controlled Sejuani to land her last auto-attack, which was sustained by the turret, and then turned around gracefully. He didn't have a red buff to continue burning Taliyah, but sorry, he had minions.

Taliyah does not have Flash.

Clearly, Score had taken things for granted. At only level four, he thought he could unleash his power outside the turret and wipe out two entire waves of minions.

As it turns out, without the assistance of defensive towers, it's impossible to clear them out in a short time.

This resulted in Score being severely punished at that moment.

From arriving at mid lane at full health to now being at low health, almost half of it was taken down by minions. The other half was caused by Lin Ruo consuming all his skills and using Smite.

So when the minion's basic attack finally locked onto her, Taliyah fell down as if she had no chance to escape. In Lin Ruo's vision as she turned around, Score was killed by the minion's basic attack.

Lin Ruo could, of course, continue to tank the turret and follow up with his final basic attack, but he had absolute confidence in the minions.

When it comes to respecting his subordinates, Lin Ruo felt that no one was more professional than him; otherwise, why would his subordinates have helped him with two assists?

The report was disrespectful to the soldiers, one of whom had just left the fountain and was on his way back online, while the other had just returned to the fountain and was preparing to get rid of the black-and-white screen.

This made Lin Ruo wear a mocking expression throughout. No, how dare you? It's only been a few minutes in the early game and you're already showing no respect to the minions.

Wang Duoduo, who was in the commentary booth at the time, felt the same way, finding it both funny and somewhat incomprehensible, especially seeing Taliyah being killed by minions.

He could only explain it in the most reasonable way: "Score was too overconfident this time. He thought he could clear out the minions on his own, but the truth is... it's completely impossible."

Or perhaps, in Wang Duoduo's view, Score might not be looking down on any lowly soldier, but rather on the Sejuani standing next to him.

He didn't believe Sejuani could deal much damage to him, so he chose to ignore her and use all his skills to clear the minions.

The result was that when this pig charged, the damage was not insignificant.

If the South Korean team loses this match, Wang Duoduo can already imagine that it will most likely become one of the most memorable and unforgettable moments of this Asian Games.

In the players' stands, when the director's deadly camera focused on the victim, Score, it was impossible for the veteran player, who had been through countless battles, not to turn red.

Score never expected him to die so hastily, so inexplicably, and so embarrassingly.

He clearly gained an advantage in the early stages, but then he died, giving away all his resources.

It’s over.

Kkoma, who was in the lounge, was already staring blankly at this scene and started to cover his head.

Are you a pig? How could you be killed by a pig?

He had considered that his team would eventually give back their advantage, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly or in such an illogical way.

The noise from the Korean fans at the scene suddenly subsided considerably, and Chinese fans completely occupied the large audience area.

As time went on, their voices only grew louder, because Lin Ruo's rhythm had completely kicked in.

After returning to the city, Lin Ruo, who had just acquired a powerful item, simply cooperated with the bottom lane duo to secure the first dragon. Although it wasn't a fire dragon, it was at least an earth dragon that could increase their survivability.

And the real impact on the South Korean team is that their rhythm suddenly collapsed.

As a jungler who can clear jungle camps quickly, roam fast, and deal considerable damage in the early game, it's surprising that she failed to secure the first dragon in the early game. In the era of dragon rush in the following years, this would have already been a sign of a complete collapse.

Furthermore, even if Score were to give up the Earth Dragon, he should at least have given up the Rift Herald in exchange, but Score still hasn't done so, seemingly indicating that he intends to give up the Rift Herald as well.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he had just left the fountain and was trying to contest the Earth Dragon in the bottom lane. However, Score later realized that there was no way he could contest the Earth Dragon.

Taking a quick look at the enemy's jungle and fast-forwarding to the blue side's jungle area where they can protect themselves might be the best outcome.

It's started, it's started! In Lin Ruo's mind, Score had already started shopping.
