LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 21: Can't win in laning and teamfights

"IG manager Su Xiaoluo sent me a message saying their club had network issues and they couldn't play for the time being. We'll try again another day."

Abu walked into the training room and announced the news.

Training matches usually involve three games, but due to an emergency, we didn’t make any arrangements with other teams later, so we can only stop here today.

Is IG using the RNG base network?
Lin Ruo lay on the chair and stretched his waist. In fact, it was a good thing not to play. After all, after a whole game, his throat was almost hoarse like a dry sponge.

It’s all Ai Loli’s fault. In order to make him act like a normal person, he had to give instructions on the angles to return to the city.

I urgently need a cup of hot water to relieve stress.

As he was thinking, boiling hot water was handed to him at the right time. Ai Loli was looking at him with a flattering yet serious expression: "Ahem, I have to admit that your command ability is still quite good."

"From now on, I'll begrudgingly listen to your opinions more."

What a reluctant person, I still installed it for you.

It was clear that he was listening to every word.

Lin Ruo took the water and put it on the table, looking at Ai Loli seriously: "Do you think I can't pour the water myself? You are meddling in other people's business."

"The lineup I picked is pretty good. Look how strong they are in team fights." There were basically no mistakes in this game, so Nofe, who wanted to review the game, didn't even have the chance. He could only hold his notebook and brag to himself.

Xiaotie felt a little embarrassed when he conveyed the words.

Is the lineup really good?

If the bottom laner hadn't relied on his personal abilities to successfully counter-press, he would have been surpassed five or six times within twenty minutes.

"Boy, I really didn't expect that you could do the job of commanding." Abu became happier and happier as he thought about it. He came up and left Ai Loli, almost giving Lin Ru a big hug.

Having a decent commander is no less important than having a top player.

Operation is the foundation, and command is the bottom line of the team.

Clear-headed command can always keep the team's overall strength stable, guard against arrogance and impatience, control the situation, and prevent inexplicable setbacks.

Especially when you are in an advantageous position, it is not uncommon for you to lose due to momentary decision-making problems. It is never easy to win the game with ease.

Someone with the surname Tao should have a deep understanding of this in the future.

"Of course, the AD position is actually not very suitable for commanding. If you feel pressured in the future, you don't have to command." Abu said seriously.

One game is okay, but commanding a Bo5 with the whole field is really dizzying for the AD position who is the main output.

Lin Ruo tilted his head.

We are all workers. Do you think I am responsible?
The main reason is that I am afraid that someone will just blindly play with others and go shopping all over the place.

There was no way. From the moment he started to brush Ai Loli's formula, he felt inexplicably pressured, which created the motivation to speak.

There are some things that you really can't keep unsaid.

……

Compared to the happy atmosphere in EDG's training room, the atmosphere in IG's training room by the Huangpu River was quite different.

Silence is tonight's Cambridge...

IG manager Su Xiaoluo was sitting on the sofa, and his shapeless beard was almost torn apart by his chin.

Since the new season, he has worked hard to recruit the champion top laner Duke in order to significantly improve the team's strength.

After a training match, it seems that the situation is still the same as before.

Doesn't this force him to continue buying players for the summer season?

That would make Principal Wang's waist break. No matter how rich he is, he can't afford to be fooled.

Finally, he slammed the table and stood up, looking at the bottom lane duo with dismay: "You two can't win in laning, you can't win in teamfights, what else can you do besides throw your hands up after the game?"

Princess Blue couldn't bear the pressure and silently shed tears of pain.

Su Xiaoluo's pupils dilated as she stared at everyone and criticized them, "I really don't know what we're practicing. As long as we don't have an advantage in the bottom lane, we get pushed all the way. How can we play like this?"

The captain of the water dispenser team, Ah Shui, leaned against the wall with his hands behind his back and couldn't help but say something reasonable: "Our lineup is purely centered around the bottom lane. If the bottom lane doesn't have an advantage..."

"How could I not know this? Do I need you to tell me?" Su Xiaoluo was furious. He even dared to interrupt.

If I didn't look down on you, you'd be a talented AD...

Just wait, when you get old enough and can’t play well next year or the year after, S10 will sell you out.

Seeing this, Rookie stepped in to ease the dispute, saying, "There are many reasons for our loss. Our mentality, experience, and in-game performance were all inferior to theirs."

Su Xiaoluo nodded for the first time. "Look, if you had half the awareness of Rookie, you wouldn't lose this game."

After a few more words, Su Xiaoluo reluctantly stood up and looked at the head coach Mafa beside him. He said softly, "Coach, please say a few words."

The young Korean coach Mafa was confused.

Gou Ba, you have already said all my lines, what else can I say?

After a strategic cough, Mafa spoke in broken Chinese, "That's it. I feel like that's it. I've said everything I need to say. Teamfighting is one thing, but laning is the most fundamental... well, you know."

That’s it for now, let’s eat first.

After the conversation, everyone put aside their past grudges and Su Xiaoluo led the team out for dinner.

IG's other assistant coach, Chris, stayed at the back to guard the door.

……

"Eat, stop dawdling."

In the EDG training room, everyone stood up and prepared to eat.

Lin Ruo waved his hand: "You guys go eat first, I'll open another one."

"Damn, you've changed your sex, right? You want to fight again." A Guang was a little bit unbelievable.

"Let him be. He'll know to eat when he's hungry."

Tian Ye had already walked out of the training room, playing and joking with Scout in his arms.

A Guang hurried to follow.

Ai Loli walked to the door and looked back every few steps, as if she was making some big decision.

Finally let go.

After everyone left, Lin Ruo quickly opened Overwatch and prepared to play a ten-minute ranked game.

Gou Ba is talking about the nutritious meals in the EDG cafeteria, and everyone rushes to eat them.

Lin Ruo decided to sit back and wait, to take advantage of Abu's opportunity.

Eating with the contestants is just like that, but eating with the boss is a different story.

Twenty minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and sparse footsteps and the sounds of Abu and Xiaotie talking were heard outside the door.

Lin Ruoyi closed the game and rushed out to meet him.

"What a coincidence, Xiaobu."

"Why haven't you gone to eat yet?"

"Ah, me, I played a few more ranked matches."

"It just so happens that we can go eat together."

As Abu walked, he gave a thumbs-up: "What a dedicated player! If anyone ever says you're unprofessional, I, Ji Xing, will be the first to disagree."

Half an hour later, Lin Ruo returned to the training room with her big belly and sat comfortably on the chair.

"The food in the cafeteria is so delicious. I'm finally full."

Ai Loli next to him was shocked when he heard this: "Oh my god, what kind of taste do you have? Can the food in the cafeteria be described as delicious?"

"Oh no, maybe the food is poisonous and something went wrong."
