LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 117 I didn’t work hard, don’t talk nonsense, this is talent

"Congratulations to EDG for defeating IG 2-0 and securing victory in the final match."

"With a thrilling 16-game winning streak in the regular season and a cumulative 32 consecutive BO3 undefeated matches across seasons, EDG, with a reorganized and newly restructured lineup, remains strong, and the legend continues."

"Yes, I'm looking forward to EDG's performance in the playoffs. Whether they can achieve their first Spring Split title in a year is still a question mark."

After shaking hands, they walked to the center of the stage and bowed with the knight's salute. Amidst the cheers, the EDG team packed up their peripherals and returned to the backstage.

There were already staff waiting at the backstage entrance.

"Contestant Lin Ruo, please wait a moment."

"Get the MVP award." Tian Ye, who understood everything quickly, patted his partner on the back and said quietly.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to be so strong."

The two met in the game at the end of 14. At that time, Tian Ye was full of vigor and replaced the retired Juanmao to become EDG's designated league starter.

Lin Ruo was just a 15-year-old who had finally entered the Royal Club's official youth training. He had talent but not much, and was just an ordinary Korean server king.

The two of them occasionally played in a duo queue, and more than two years passed.

Tian Ye almost forcibly changed his opinion of Lin Ruo through daily practice, because he was making progress from beginning to end.

Although Lin Ruo has often been seen playing other games in the past two years, and he seems to have become less focused and serious than before, he is making unstoppable progress.

Was it a sudden burst of talent or something else? This was something Tian Yelue couldn't figure out.

"Okay, Brother Lin, say a few more dirty words later."

A Guang understood what he meant and took the peripheral, made a cool gesture, and the EDG team left immediately.

At this moment, in the center of the stage, LPL's top host Yu Shuang was wearing a simple red dress and looked very happy.

"Hello everyone, Summoners, the regular season has ended, but the journey continues. Welcome to today's MVP awards ceremony. We are about to present the winner of the Spring Split regular season's best MVP award."

"After three months of competition, who has been the most dazzling contestant during this period, and who has brought the most surprises to the audience?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience in the venue shouted the same name in unison and loudly.

The official live broadcast room was flooded with comments.

Faced with this undoubted moment, Yu Shuang couldn't help but smile and quickly said:
"Let's reveal the MVP award through a video."

The video begins with an interview with Lin Ruo at the end of 2014 when he was 15 years old and in the Royal Club youth training camp. He looked young and immature.

Lin Ruo in the backstage stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

Isn't this the scene when he just came here a month ago?
At that time, his predecessor had been staying in the youth training camp. After half a year of training, he signed a contract with Royal Club to become a formal youth training camp. He was still thinking about how to escape, but when he thought about his young age and not being outstanding, he decided to stay for the time being.

After all, even if you have a system, you still need time to accumulate experience before your strength can increase exponentially.

Leaving the royal family alone and with nowhere to go, staying is indeed the most appropriate choice.

"Hello, you just signed a contract with Royal Club to become a professional gamer. Have you thought about your dreams for the future?"

The beautiful host randomly interviewed him among a group of teenagers.

“Dreams.”

Lin Ruo, who had just crossed over and hadn't adapted to the environment yet, scratched his head and hesitated for a long time before saying, "I definitely want to become the world champion."

"So when do you think you can do it?"

Lin Ruo crossed his hands in confusion and seemed particularly reserved after hearing this.

"So he can be this shy sometimes. I thought this guy was always a social terrorist."

In the backstage dressing room, Xiaoyu was pointing and talking.

Rita, who was standing next to him, was so engrossed in the admiration that she couldn't help but comment, "He's always been this handsome."

Xiaoyu rolled her eyes instantly, but before she could say anything, Lin Ruo's answer came from the screen.

"I was about 17. By then I should have been invincible and winning the world championship would have been no problem."

Xiaoyu was so shocked when she heard this that she was stunned for a long time.

It seems she still took offense.

The fact is that this guy has been a social terrorist from beginning to end.

You are only 15 years old and you said you would win the championship when you are 17. How dare you do that?

It’s not illegal to brag, right?

The beautiful host in the video also had the same stunned expression at this time, and asked repeatedly:
"Why are you so sure? Are you winning the championship for the Royal Family?"

Lin Ruo didn't answer the previous question because he was cheating. He just roughly calculated that due to his constant slacking off day and night and playing with abstractions, he should have been invincible at the age of 17.

As for the latter question, Lin Ruo answered frankly: "I have many bad habits. If the royal family can tolerate me and haven't expelled me by then, winning the championship will not be a problem."

The interview ended, and what followed was a series of highlights of Lin Ruo's performance on the court after joining EDG.

At this time, the official live broadcast room had already exploded because of Lin Ruo's previous statement that he could win the championship at the age of 17.

What are you doing? A 15-year-old predicting that a 17-year-old will be invincible and win the championship, right?

[Don't mention it, he really seems invincible right now, already killing it in the LPL.]

[Lin Shen's She Niu was probably there from the womb.]

Please give me some, I stutter when I talk to the boss when I go out to eat.

[If he really wins the championship, I will worship Lin Gou as a god.]

Let's win the LPL championship first. Right now, it's just the regular season championship.

[Tell me which rookie from the above team can go undefeated in the regular season, win MVP and dominate the Korean server right after debuting?]

Many RNG fans were moved to tears by the statement that if he had not been fired, he could have won the championship for Royal Club.

They rushed to RNG manager Quan Zhonghe's Weibo to curse him.

[Kwon Jung Hyuk, you're confused.] [You've been training a young player for almost two years, and now you just kick him out. You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.]

[He's so strong, what's wrong with you tolerating him and letting him play other games?]

If they want to buy Uzi, can't the club keep a backup? They'll be dead if they keep him around any longer, right?

[Why don't you just put him on the second team and put him on the bench? What a ridiculous move! Kick him out and give him to the Korean traitor club next door.]

【You deserve half the credit for EDG's championship victory.】

On the stage of Zhengda Plaza.

A series of data is listed at the end of the live video.

23 MVPs, average damage percentage, team participation rate, output conversion ratio and KDA all broke LPL records over the years.

The LPL official decided the MVP award almost halfway through the spring season.

Because at this time Lin Ruo's data was already far ahead of others and no one could match it.

...

"Let us invite contestant Lin Ruo to the center of the stage." Yu Shuang said with a smile.

The camera turned and Lin Ruo stood on the stage again.

The person who presented him the award was an unknown executive from Tencent.

The prize is either a so-called gold or silver-inlaid trophy, or a framed certificate with the title of the most valuable player engraved in black and white in the middle.

This...what's the difference between taking it back and putting it behind the lens and using it as a vase?

Lin Ruo originally thought it was a trophy that looked like a little golden man, and his face suddenly darkened.

The Tencent executives kept talking in a flurry of polite remarks, seemingly praising him, but actually promoting the LPL ecosystem.

Finally comes the acceptance speech.

"Does contestant Lin Ruo have anything to say to himself and the audience?"

Lin Ruo took the microphone, feeling quite calm. He calmed down and said, "Recently, people have been calling me a genius. Actually, I want to say..."

When Yu Shuang heard this, she looked over with great anticipation.

There have been a lot of praise and criticism about Lin Ruo on the Internet recently. It would be very prescient for him to come out and be low-key.

Moreover, Lin Ruo, as a newcomer who just entered the LPL, was able to achieve the dazzling regular season MVP achievement, which must have been due to his hard work day and night.

However, most of the online viewers were blindly praising him for his talent, claiming he was an unparalleled gaming genius. This might be true, but ignoring someone's hard work was clearly inappropriate in Yu Shuang's opinion.

One of her life mottos is that the road to success always requires hard work.

So when Yu Shuang heard that Lin Ruo wanted to clear his name, he was extremely excited.

Then I saw Lin Ruo suddenly said:

"Actually, I want to say I'm just a genius. There's no such thing as hard work. Most netizens think so. Do those few netizens have no mouths? Do you think I usually work hard?"

"I strongly protest the recent attempts by a few marketing accounts to hype up my hard work, saying I'm training day and night and using hard work to change my future. I haven't worked hard, so please don't label me like that. This is pure lies, pure lies."

Yu Shuang's smile gradually stiffened, and then she fell completely silent.

[Don't pull me, I'm going to follow the network cable and beat him to death.]

[Brothers, I'm here. Wait for me to get an autograph after the game and then I'll kill him solo.]

[You're so pretentious! I've never seen anyone so pretentious in my life. Young people, don't be so arrogant.]

[He's acting like this after getting the regular season MVP award. I can't imagine what Lin Shen will look like after winning the championship.]

Is it possible that we don't need to think about it, because Lin Gou has already thought about it.

Amidst the noisy comments, the MVP interview ended.

...

RNG e-sports club in the early morning.

Quan Zhonghe, who had just finished his official business, turned on his mobile phone after get off work and saw that the sky had fallen.

His Weibo was flooded with more than a thousand comments, all from his own fans.

This was followed by messages from countless EDG fans.

Thank you, Kwon Jung Hyuk.

As an EDG fan, I hate to admit it, but I have to say that if they win the championship, you can take half the credit.

Quan Zhonghe was very angry, but then he thought that he had indeed let a talented person go.

But no one says he is that great.

Cursing, Quan Zhonghe immediately called the second team manager: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that he is so powerful?"

The second team manager expressed his injustice: "Manager, Lin Ruo just turned sixteen last year, and I applied to the club to transfer him to the first team. I don't need to say whether he is a good player or not."

Unable to resist, Quan Zhonghe called the coach Firefox to question him:

"Why didn't you give him a few scrimmages last spring? I never saw him show his true strength. Otherwise, how could I have let him go?"

Firefox's resentment grew upon hearing this. He, too, expressed his injustice, then spread his hands and said, "Manager, didn't you say that the team was in good shape last spring and in the championship race? We can't just rotate players randomly. It would affect the team's stability, so I didn't let him train with the first team as you requested."

Kwon Jung Hyuk fiddled with his head, unable to recall whether he had said such words last year.

But he knew that RNG did win the championship in last year's spring season.

"Then we have to not give him the training match."

Quan Zhonghe suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong. Could he win the championship if he beat him?
It's just that he was stronger in the regular season. Uzi was already the world runner-up at the age of seventeen. What is he?

Quan Zhonghe, who had figured it out, cleared away the haze:
"It's okay, we have a puppy, time will tell."
