LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 260: Lolita Love: Restoring the Glory of LPL is Our Duty

If it weren't for Lin Ruo, he would probably be able to get him the only championship skin in his life.

Ai Loli will definitely not treat me to this meal.

The schedule for the quarterfinals is very tight. The first game will start on the 19th, and there are only three days of preparation time. So after getting off the plane and having dinner, everyone checked into the hotel and started their daily training.

During this period, he also participated in the filming of the quarterfinals promotional video organized by the official LPL, checked in at various scenic spots and historical sites, and recited a few domineering quotes as an opening speech.

Ai Loli, who was sitting firmly on the bench, naturally became the star of EDG's promotional video.

Compared with the training match, Lin Ruo focused on studying and cracking SSG's playing style for three days.

Others may not know.

But he must know that both LZ and SKT have major flaws in this World Championship, and only SSG is the most resilient team.

The first match of the quarterfinals was actually the toughest match of this World Championship.

Different from other teams, SSG is a team that emphasizes efficient teamwork.

To fight a perfect team battle, a broad field of vision is the most indispensable factor.

SSG's vision control is unique.

The key to winning the game is to put pressure on the jungler and support positions of the SSG team, preventing them from arranging their vision smoothly and thus weakening the overall coordination.

There's also Varus' versatility and Cuvee's advantage in the hero pool.

During these three days, Lin Ruo thought a lot.

In the end, there is only one answer: press the button when necessary and launch the attack when necessary.

...

10 month 19 day.

As the doors of Guangzhou Gymnasium opened, the battle for the quarterfinals officially began.

The hot weather could not stop the absolute enthusiasm of many LPL spectators for the first day of the game.

15 pm.

With only one hour left before the game started, the huge venue was already full.

LPL has not made it to the semi-finals of the World Championship for two years, and today is undoubtedly another important moment to break the record.

The EDG players arrived at the lounge early and took a long time to relax before the hot and stuffy air on their bodies dissipated.

The weather in Guangzhou is really hot.

Lin Ruo kept fanning himself with a fan with a hospital advertisement on it that he had bought for free on the street.

What’s the use of having air conditioning in the lounge? It’s no match for the number of people there, and everyone’s breath is so hot that it’s enough to make them explode.

"Is there a place in Korea this hot? If not, SSG definitely won't be able to handle it. Well, we already had a certain physiological advantage before the game."

A Guang joked as he wiped his sweat.

Lin Ruo shifted his position and said, "Pay attention to yourself. You're just asking for comfort. Don't let Cuvee get you."

Comparing the hero pools of the two sides, in fact, A Guang will definitely be the one who beats the opponent.

Because he can neither play Gnar nor Kennen, he can only play Jayce, who was specially trained by Semb in the spring season, and his level is actually only half-baked.

A Guang acted indifferent.

My biggest improvement this season is naturally not the expansion of my hero pool.

How could a blue-collar top laner possibly train a decent Jayce or Kennen?

The ability to withstand pressure is the real standard for measuring a blue-collar top laner, so A Guang still remembers that Lin Ruo had reminded him during this year's spring season that it is not easy to practice output heroes. What if he encounters laning heroes such as Kennen and Jayce in the World Championship?

At that moment, A Guang figured it out.

That requires improving your ability to withstand pressure.

So throughout this entire year, A Guang played thousands of ranked games honestly.

DPS top lane? No one would play it.

Just kidding, he has seen all kinds of powerful output top laners in the ranking.

It's really impossible to defeat him online.

"Please call me the King of Stress Resistance. Let him choose whatever he wants. I'm as steady as a rock with my powerful tree in my hand."

Ah Guang swore that when it comes to bearing pressure, he not only has one skill, but he also has a kick.

Furthermore, with Lin Ruo present, their bottom lane's suppression power was terrifying. If the opposing top laner wanted to exploit him, they would first have to see if their own bottom lane could withstand it.

Lin Ruo smiled unkindly when he heard this: "If you keep doing this, you won't be able to retire in the same place in two years."

"Why."

"No reason. I'm worried that in two years, if Riot comes up with a system where you can make money just by attacking towers, you, the king of pressure resistance, will be out of business."

Ah Guang couldn't help but complain: "Is it so disgusting?"

If Riot dares to do this, it is not impossible for him to retire.

Oh no, it's very likely.

However, he thinks Riot should consider humanistic care for blue-collar top laners.

It's not necessary to be so extreme.

While a few people were chatting and laughing, as the game was about to start, a special promotional video of the quarterfinals appeared on the big screen.

With the background music of Legends Never Die, the theme song of the World Championship, it’s hard to imagine what’s going on.

Every character that appears on the stage is unbelievably serious.

The first to appear is the idol, standing in the bustling city at night with his arms folded, gazing up at the starry sky:

"This time we're playing at home, and I hope to represent RNG and the entire Chinese team to go further, until the championship is within our grasp."

After saying that, Uzi did not forget to point to the red five-pointed star on the RNG team uniform on his chest.

Full of emotions.

In the official LPL live broadcast room, the words "Come on, RNG," the all-Chinese team, scrolled across the screen.

RNG fans are already excited, even though they don't have any games today.

"Study hard and watch carefully, Mr. Bu, you see how they can make full use of their own advantages."

Lin Ruo shared his thoughts after watching the movie.

Abu understood: "Next year I will kick Scout out and replace him with a Chinese midfielder."

Scout: ? ?

Next, Huni, Xiye, An Zhangmen and others appeared on stage one after another.

The words are still as serious and formal as before.

Ai Loli, who represented EDG in the photoshoot, also wore a serious demeanor. She looked up at the camera and spoke in a professional tone: "The LPL has been in a difficult situation in recent years. I believe that the rise of EDG this year will definitely improve the situation and restore the glory of the LPL. It's our responsibility."

Tian Ye, who was watching the video nearby, accidentally spit out the water he had just swallowed: "No, Zhao Zhiming looks very serious, but why do I still find it so funny?"

"The main thing is that this line is a bit awkward." The factory director commented sharply, saying it was not as good as any of the nonsense he had said in previous promotional videos.

Ai Loli was puzzled and said with her hands spread out: "Is it embarrassing? Brother Lin taught me to say it like this."

"There's nothing wrong with what I said, okay? The main problem is that your performance wasn't good enough. You were trying too hard to be serious and cool, but you lacked the firmness in your words, understand? There wasn't any depth at all."

Lin Ruo shook his head in disappointment.

Ai Loli's acting ability is apparently only comparable to that of a corpse.

Sometimes he really wanted to call the police. It was a waste of such a good meme. It was really difficult to let Ai Loli leave some good memories in the league.

It seems that I can only make a fool of myself on the commentary circle in the future.

"Really? I'll think about it again." Ai Loli said she was enlightened.

The acting god, the factory director, smiled and said, "It's just a little bit, just don't take it too seriously."

"Why are you so excited about discussing a promotional video?" Hearing what everyone said, Abu's face turned black.

The competition is about to start, can you be serious?

This made him very worried.

You know, today is the first day that EDG is going to break into the quarterfinals. Abu, who has already planned to make a big fuss after the game, is very worried.

Four years, a full four years, and finally it has come to this point. It would be strange if he wasn't anxious.

"Right, right, stay focused."

Nofe stood up and opened his notebook. "Let's review the key points of the training arrangement. It's a good way to learn new things."
