LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 115: The Return of Patriarch Seven
EDG Lounge.

Abu sat peacefully on the spacious sofa.

The outcome of today's game is irrelevant.

After the team secured first place in the group, he didn't care much about the illusory 16-game winning streak as they were in good shape. After all, they had achieved it in last year's summer season.

They will be beaten badly in the next World Championship.

This undoubtedly gave Abu a warning.

The team is more concerned about the playoffs that will start on the 5th. How to deal with the upcoming new version and the complex BO, and storing complete tactical strategies is the top priority.

So starting from the last three regular season games in early April, EDG has been in a leisurely training mode, trying new lineups and different playing styles.

The team's form was slightly up and down, but they won all three games with a score of 2-1.

Being able to win the game and achieve training results at the same time is naturally the best of both worlds.

In order to ensure the diversity of the lineup, on the last day of the regular season, Abramovich specially recalled his favorite player, Factory Director.

If the team can enter the MSI, in addition to the starting five, it will also need a substitute, and Mingkai will naturally have to accompany the team.

Because Mingkai RANK has been in pretty good shape recently, recalling them to prepare for the next matches is undoubtedly a very reasonable arrangement.

Even if he can't start, it would be a good thing to be a substitute and use his brain to study MSI in advance off the court.

"Today's focus is still on training, but we still have to try our best to win the game."

Nofe said to everyone with a serious face.

"learn."

Mingkai nodded first. He had only played one day of training matches, so he rushed onto the court, but he was not under much pressure.

With so many years of veteran experience, he is fully capable of handling the situation. The key lies in whether he can match up with the current competition.

Listening to everyone talking, Lin Ruo sat in the corner fiddling with his phone without saying a word.

I haven’t posted on Weibo for a long time, let me start.

EDG, Ling:

Great news! Our team is back as the king and will play against IG today.

At the same time, a warm reminder, in order to announce his rebirth, veteran Clearlove no longer exists. Now standing in front of you is LPL rookie player Clearlove7. Seven's inheritance, the power of light everyone understands.

777 will be swiped first as a token of respect.

Lin Ruo calmly sent out a Weibo post, put his phone in his schoolbag, and stood up with his hair in a mess.

When their eyes met, Mingkai, who was holding the peripheral device, frowned slightly, feeling that the brat had done something to let him down again.

He still remembers the crusade against Peanut a month ago.

It was just a RANK game, but he was asked to go on a mission to replace Kai. During the three months since he disappeared, marketing accounts have been everywhere with news about him, and he has never had a moment of peace.

……

Good evening to all the viewers, both in person and before the live broadcast. Welcome to the final match of the last week of the 2017 LPL Spring Split regular season.

"I'm the commentator Miller."

"I'm a doll."

On the commentary stand on the high platform, the old partners Haier Brothers smiled at each other and started their work for the day.

As the popularity of the official live broadcast room continued to rise, the barrage was filled with a certain man’s number.

777 and 4396 are mixed together.

Miller, the veteran, jokingly said, "EDG's starting lineup is very different today. They've replaced their jungler with rookie Clearlove7. It's really exciting."

Wawa continued, "Haha, I just don't know what the relationship is between this contestant 7 and Mingkai."

The two sang in harmony, bringing the show to its full potential.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the EDG team took the stage.

The barrage has become more lively and is no longer just a screen full of numbers.

The dark side of the factory sees the light again.

What do you mean? EDG just came back after being invincible and ruined. Can't stand seeing the team do well? 】

【I want to win the championship. 】

[If EDG wins the championship, I'll take it.]

[I'm kidding you, Civil War Phantom. It's better to expect EDG to be eliminated in the MSI group stage than to expect them to not win the championship.]

Would EDG be what it is today without Mingkai? A bunch of haters, just watching Worlds and calling him a cancer on the team.

[It doesn't matter. Lin Shen, who can open three weapons in one second, will take action.]

As the barrage scrolled, the BP phase began.

The blue side EDG came up and immediately banned three people.

LeBlanc, Jayce and Shen, Xiao Xiao targets Rookie.

IG is somewhat helpless.

EDG used too many heroes in the first three games, and since Clealove had just come on the court and had no relevant data, it was so complicated that it was difficult to know where to start.

First of all, let’s ban the enhanced Kog’Maw in the previous version. Although Lin Ruo has never played it, he still needs to be on guard against it.

Mafa thought for a moment and then banned the opposing Caitlyn and the version of Shen who were killing everyone.

Miller said from the commentary booth, "Big Mouth and Caitlyn are still a common strategy used by many teams, targeting EDG's bottom lane."

As they were talking, EDG team instantly locked down Fizz, whose chances of appearing recently increased significantly.

The top middle starts swinging right away.

"Then let's take the top lane combination."

Mafa continued to make decisions, commanding the team to lock in Ashe and Lulu. Their own bottom lane was weak, and since they didn't want to destroy it, they would definitely take it to ensure the strength of the line.

After EDG locked onto Karma on the second floor, Lin Ruo's eyes sparkled:
"Scout on the third floor, you should get Lee Sin for the factory."

Scout locked it without saying a word.

The factory director, who was hinted at by the two little bastards, shook his head and smiled lightly, his face suddenly turning cold.

He suddenly transformed into An Kai.

Mantis was nerfed, and between Lee Sin and Lee Sin, he still prefers the latter.

There's nothing wrong with this hand.

So he's going to start showing off.

When they saw Lee Sin, the official live broadcast room 4396 cheered again like a tsunami.

The sinister Wawa couldn't help but smile: "Mingkai's Lee Sin has always had a high win rate in LPL, with many famous scenes, such as the first R flash." "That's right." Miller hummed. He should have continued the conversation, but he couldn't remember anything else.

All I can think of is the kick at last year's World Championship, and the ten Lee Monks being kicked back and forth at the All-Star Game.

It seems like a ghost scene...

Following closely behind, IG locked onto Syndra on the third floor.

Prioritize ensuring the position of the mid lane core.

After the second round of bans, Miller analyzed the choices made by both teams with great care:

"So how will EDG counter IG's bottom lane combination? Will it be Ezreal and Karma again to resist the pressure?"

Wawa nodded: "This is the only way. Varus and Jhin are gone, and Lucian is completely countered."

Being so ignorant, he really couldn't think of what other tricks EDG had.

Although we often brought out new things to experiment with in the previous games, it’s impossible to do so again this time.

In the contestant's booth, Nofe looked at the interface, still in deep thought: "Should I open it or not?"

"Open it, you can also beat Ice Delu."

Lin Ruo showed off the Kennen that he had arranged before the game without hesitation.

If you don't practice heroes in this meaningless game, you can only practice for the playoffs, right?

Balance exists in all things.

As soon as the hero was locked up, there was a slight sound of surprise at the scene.

Kennen AD bottom lane was quite popular in ancient times, but has basically disappeared in recent years.

So this retro look is still amazing.

But the question is, is it really good for Kennen and Karma to fight against Ashe and Lu in the bottom lane?
Wawa smiled with suspicion, "Here we go again. EDG will pull off some tricks when the time comes. Winning or losing doesn't matter anyway, we just have to practice everything."

He thought EDG was having a great time.

Kennen's range is not long, and his AD equipment is not useful when starting a team fight. He mainly plays this skill to entertain the audience.

"Isn't it going to be a solo laning in the later stages?" Miller thought seriously.

Hearing this, Wawa's smile widened, and he said seriously, "I think we should consider flexibility. After all, he can run and fight, and his output is indeed not bad after equipping Ruined King."

"I haven't seen this bottom lane combination on the opposite side very often." In the IG player's seat, Baolan touched his head in confusion.

Marge, who had a premonition, was already feeling uncomfortable.

“It feels hard to fight.”

"It's not difficult to fight, just push the line like crazy." Kid has already thought of the rhythm route in the early stage and is waiting for the actual action.

With the last Victor locked in, the lineups of both sides were finalized.

EDG: Tide Spirit on top, Lee Sin as jungler, Glorious Evolution Brother in the middle, Heart of Fury on the bottom lane, Apocalypse as support.

IG: Machine Public Enemy on the top lane, Outlaw in the jungle, Dark Leader in the middle lane, Ice Archer in the bottom lane, and Fairy Witch as support.

Amidst hysterical shouts, both sides entered the Summoner's Rift.

The game officially begins.

Both sides started the game normally. Lin Ruo controlled Ninja Kennen to the triangle grass in the bottom lane to scout the field of view.

"EDG's three lanes will likely be at a disadvantage in the early game, especially Mouse's Fizz in the top lane. It's going to be hard for Zweizhang to catch him."

Doll said practically.

But this is much more comfortable for the male gunner.

After soloing F6 and reaching level , Kid continued to destroy the red buff and went straight to the top lane to catch a wave.

He reduced Fizz's health to only one-third, then began to invade the upper jungle area and kill the remaining Toad.

The factory manager, who had suffered a loss, was fighting in the lower area.

He wanted to counter-invade, but it would be difficult if he didn't have an advantage in the bottom lane.

On all screens, the factory manager immediately realized that he was worrying too much and quickly went to the dragon pit and entered the blue zone.

The bottom lane was pressed, and the pressure was quite fierce.

"What's going on? After a fight in the bottom lane, Kennen's healing was replaced by Lulu's Weakness, and the EDG duo actually pushed back?"

The camera moves down, and Wawa in the commentary booth seems a little confused.

Are the IG duo really that bad?

Ashe and Lulu are currently the most invincible laning combination.

"What are you guys doing in the bottom lane?"

Kid also didn't understand, and the ping signal rushed down.

The reason why he dared to invade was because he was sure that his own lane was pushing the line, but then you did this.

Then wouldn’t my own jungle area be lost?

"The opposing team's combination attributes are quite strong."

Marge said angrily, and so did Princess Blue.

You won’t know whether you are strong or not until you fight.

They have been tested and the certification is strong.

Karma pressed forward at level 2 to attract firepower, while Kennen used his skills to control the opponent and moved forward. With the strong double control of chains and lightning, he directly beat them back.

Marge finally understood why the opponent chose this type of bottom lane.

It's just like often using a hard support female tank to target a soft support. It doesn't matter if you can't push the lane, just go forward and use your skills and it's done.

If you are beaten back, you will naturally lose the line rights.

Kennen and Karma are this type of combination.

Kennen's passive skill has a stun effect, and Karma has a leash. If the control link is well connected, she will hit you halfway first, which is difficult to resist.

If Ashe and Lulu want to deal damage, they need to have continuous movement intervals, but it seems obvious that there is no such interval now.

The two opponents are playing the face-to-face strategy.

"We can't keep being suppressed. We have to push back."

After completing the river vision, Baolan went forward and tried to push the middle line back to help AD clear the front row soldiers.

The soldier was gone, but Kennen chased and hit him several times. After calculating the passive mark, Lin Ruo fired the last basic attack, followed by QW.

Lulu, who was retreating with her shield on, froze in place.
