LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 106 It’s not too much for me to commentate on the RNG game live
According to the promotion rules of the 2017 LPL Spring Split, the top four teams from Groups A and B at the end of the regular season will enter the playoffs to compete for the championship.

The first place in Group A and B will have a direct spot in the semi-finals and only needs to win a BO5 match to enter the Spring Finals.

Now, as the first team to advance to the playoffs, EDG ranks first in Group A with a dazzling undefeated record.

WE, ranked second in Group A, has lost three regular season games so far, and has little chance of catching up with EDG and competing for first place.

RNG, who was also ranked first in Group B, also lost two games in a row.

This made EDG look quite invincible, and rumors of winning the championship early were rampant online. For a while, the fans couldn't help but dream back to the S6 Summer Games.

Abu looked at it with full of worry.

Winning the Summer Split with a perfect record last year led the team to fall into an extremely conceited mentality. In the non-Korean group of the World Championship, they underestimated their opponents and lost to the Brazilian team INTZ in the first round. In the second round, they lost to the European team H2K in the tiebreak, and finally qualified for the knockout stage in the second group.

The subsequent plot is extremely sci-fi. H2K drew the weakest wildcard team ANX and easily advanced to the semi-finals with a score of 3:0.

EDG had to face the strong enemy ROX. The factory's 4396 was famous throughout the ages, and suffered the bitter taste of the saying that arrogance will lead to failure.

Perhaps, if they had beaten Brazil in the first group round, they would have advanced to the quarterfinals long ago.

This is the eternal pain in Abu's heart.

Now that the regular season has not yet ended, it seems that the arrogance has arisen within the team again.

Zhengda Plaza in the seventh week of the regular season.

Inside the EDG lounge.

Abu stared at Lin Ruo lying on the sofa, feeling that his salary increase was in vain.

He has nothing to do but act as a special guest and mess around. Do he think the game is not fun or the opponent is too easy to beat?

Although the job of a special guest is just to commentate on the game, which doesn't take much time and doesn't require any special preparation, it is still inappropriate.

Because the special guests are either retired people in the circle, or players or coaches who have been eliminated and are on vacation.

For example, Xiaoxiao and PDD who came before.

Are the players who are still active and still competing going there, isn't that a deliberate curse on their own team?

Abu couldn't swallow this.

But when I thought about the promise we made, I just swallowed my anger and gritted my teeth and got through it.

Anyway, after the game, he would go back to the club and play other games instead of doing his job. There was no need to review the game at night, and no training requirements. It didn't matter if he came back late. He would only stay for two or three more hours to play the game.

That's right, that's right.

Abu comforted himself, hoping that the brat would not go up and talk nonsense, which would have a bad influence on the team.

The only game that can be commented on is the RNG game.

Abu still felt it necessary to give a few words of warning, so he walked over with his hands folded.

But before he could open his mouth, Lin Ruo stopped him: "Don't worry, Xiaobu, I will definitely get the first place in the Korean server when I come back from commentating."

Abu was stunned, turned around and went back to where he came from.

Reaching the top of the Korean server is no joke, as no EDG player has ever reached the top.

Even if this kid can do it, it will take at least a month or so, by which time the playoffs will be here.

That means that for the next month he will not just sit there and play two games a day to get by, but will spare no effort from morning to night to alternate between training matches, reviewing games and RANKing.

A guest commentary role can be exchanged for a whole month of training. I can even delete Overwatch when I go back. It’s obviously a good deal for me.

Abramovich, having figured it all out, gradually began to smile. Then, his expression hardened and he calmed down. "But I still have to remind you, be mindful of the impact on the club when you go there."

"As a traditional esports powerhouse, we at EDG will never allow anyone to tarnish our reputation."

Lin Ruo nodded, lowered his head, suppressed his laughter and said nothing.

I'm not helping you whitewash the two big jokes about blitz attacks on Poland and Chinese e-sports. From the spring season till now, it would be the end of the world if EDG can remain calm.

You're still acting like a good kid after getting the advantage.

"Also, play it safe in the next match. If you can't win, I don't think there's any need for you to go up there."

Abu babbled again.

"Playing against a team ranked at the bottom of the league, even if they can win against the newly promoted GT team, which has only won one game against the Snake team, is it safe?" Lin Ruo couldn't help but ask back after hearing this, pointing his finger.

"Gou Ba Ai Loli just go up and give it away, we can win with four against six."

"I agree." A Guang stood up and agreed. He had studied the opponent's top laner video before the game, and he was really bad at playing Maokai.

"No, who wants to send it? I'll just go up and give it to you."

Ai Loli retorted with a blushing face.

Look, when I play as the male gunner, I can kill them all with just one shot.

...

After a small commotion in the lounge.

At 17: Beijing time, the match between EDG and GT officially began.

As expected, the last-placed GT team in Group B was extremely weak, getting swept 2:0 in just minutes in both games.

The explosive Lin Ruo won two more MVPs to improve his stats.

EDG's record is eight wins and zero losses.

"Mr. Bu, don't wait for me. I'll take a taxi back after I finish my commentary."

"Who wants to wait for you?" Tian Ye had already packed up his peripherals and couldn't help but mutter,

"I hope I don't see you trending on Weibo tonight."

Lin Ruo shook his head: "That's impossible. I have so much traffic, if I go up there and people see it, it will become a trending search."

Tian Ye took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on: "I know, one doesn't matter. I'm mainly worried that the first few will be you."

Lin Ruo smiled and said nothing.

"Brother Lin, you are really handsome, but when I think about you going up there and talking..."

A Guang patted his hands, which seemed to be a way for people to wish for the best.

Of course, he was not praying for Lin Ruo, but explaining for the other two.

After a brief stay in the lounge, Lin Ruo donned a handsome suit and headed to the backstage commentary booth. Rita was waiting for him in a chair just inside the door.

"He's quite handsome." Rita, who was a little fascinated by the scene, adjusted her glasses and sat up slightly with her legs together to make room.

"Why are you going on stage if you're not handsome?" Lin Ruo straightened his collar, sat upright, and thanked for the help.

Rita smiled and waved her hands: "Not that I need to thank you, your traffic is too huge. When I told the boss about it, they were eager to invite you the next day."

Lin Ruo took a look and said, "Really? Then no thanks."

Rita:……

"If you really want to explain it, I didn't believe it at first."

Not far away, Guan Zeyuan, finished putting on makeup, walked over. The two shook hands. "Just now I saw you killing it in the player booth, and now you're on the commentary stage. Honestly, it's a bit outrageous. Do you really want to commentate?"

Lin Ruo calmly replied, "You know, I've always wanted to sing praises to my idol on the highest stage."

Guan Zeyuan thought about it, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

Soon, the three of them stood on the commentary platform and prepared for the next game.

Amid the audience's eager anticipation, the commentary finally appeared on the big screen.

Guan Zeyuan, Rita, Lin…

What's the other thing?

The RNG fans in the audience were all stunned and rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

When did the LPL official find a commentator who looks like Lin Gou?

Until a familiar voice came down.

"Hello, good evening to everyone watching live and before the broadcast. Welcome to today's RNG vs. NB match. I'm commentator Guan Zeyuan."

"I'm the commentator Rita."

"In addition to the competition today, we have also invited a distinguished guest. Please allow him to introduce himself."

Lin Ruo's mature and steady voice was heard from the commentary booth.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Ruo."

"puff…"

Many RNG fans at the scene spit out saliva.

Just making a fuss here.

The barrage in the official live broadcast room had already exploded.

[I must be still asleep. I'll go back to sleep.]

[Lin Shen, is that you? I'm not seeing things.]

[Breaking news: Because playing against GT is too boring, Lin Shen is retiring and moving to the commentary booth. Everyone has their own dreams and they are all wonderful.]

[Gouba, chasing Uzi all the way to the commentary booth, it made me laugh to death.]

[No problem, after all, I'm a true fan.]

The game was too boring, so Lin Shen decided to have some fun on his own. I understand.

[Don't mention it, he looks even more handsome in a suit than usual.]

[Weibo blacklist warning.]

Can Lin Gou first finish eating the computer he promised to chew during the Landlord game a few days ago?

[Didn't the Forest God agree to be a dog? You can call me Forest Dog if you like.]

[I don't care, I just want to watch him eat the computer.]

Less than a minute after he stood on the commentary platform, the crowd heard the news and flocked into the live broadcast room in droves.

They loved watching Lin Ruolai, who had the best show effect, being the commentator.

The popularity of the official live broadcast room has more than doubled without anyone noticing.

As for this, the GSL fans who were lost in the direction might be fine, but the Royal Army who were looking forward to the home team's game were already frustrated.

Imagine how it feels to have to listen to your enemy's commentary when watching your own game.

So they all started to explode in the live broadcast room at the same time.

[Isn't it disgusting that the LPL official is taking advantage of this kind of traffic? ]

[I'm so annoyed when I see this guy. I'd rather watch the second channel commentary than him.]

What are we afraid of? If he's deliberately bashing RNG or his commentary is unfair, we'll just criticize him as much as we can.

[No problem, why should we leave? Don't be afraid, ladies, pay special attention to his every word and action. Since he's a public figure, don't blame us for picking on him.]

[If the commentator is not competent, just tell the official to get out.]

Amidst the roars of anger from the crowd, Lin Ruo smiled gently and reservedly in the commentary booth.

Paired with Rita in the middle, they are an absolute combination of handsome men and beautiful women.

Guan Zeyuan next to him seemed a little out of place.

But Guan Zeyuan did not notice this and asked the guests about their opinions on the game in a routine manner.

Facing the question, Lin Ruo was as calm as a battle-hardened veteran, his face neither red nor fluttering, his face full of peace: "As for this game, there's actually not much to say. RNG definitely has a higher win rate. So where does RNG have a higher win rate? I think it's in the bottom lane. I believe that the audience is the same as me. Without further ado, let's look forward to Xiaohu's performance today."

After these words were spoken, GSL in the official live broadcast room became more relaxed.

But the emperors felt something unusual.

The question is, if he keeps praising Uzi, should he be criticized or not?

Similarly, are there really people in this world who like Uzi and hate RNG?
Simple-minded people simply cannot find the answer.

At this time in the RNG lounge, seeing Lin Ruo as the commentator, Uzi frowned deeply and muttered to himself:

"As a die-hard fan, if he keeps praising me on stage in a biased and awkward way, will it bring me bad reputation?"
