LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 261 Look at how good the atmosphere is in EDG
There are still 20 minutes left before the game starts.

Cuvee, who was coming back from the bathroom, couldn't help but take a look when passing by the EDG lounge, and then hurried back to his own lounge.

"Xiba, bad news! EDG is having a heated discussion. I can hear intermittent chatter from far away. It looks like they've already figured out a way to deal with us."

Due to the language barrier, Cuvee could only roughly hear what everyone was saying.

The specific content cannot be explained in detail.

"This is the championship team." Sect Leader An glanced at his own team and couldn't help but sigh.

Too silent.

In fact, he saw the active discussion in the EDG lounge when he went to the bathroom half an hour ago.

I really had no intention of taking a break since entering the lounge, and it was turned into a training room.

It goes without saying that it would be difficult for such an extremely serious team to defeat them and advance.

"Is it possible that they were discussing something other than the game?"

Ruler stroked his chin and thought.

He felt that discussing the game for more than an hour was a bit too much. After all, the game was about to begin, and the important thing was to get more rest and stay in good spirits. Things like BP strategy should have been discussed in the hotel.

"What do you know? He was just being responsible." When Sect Leader An heard that Ruler dared to question his senior, he was furious.

Ruler lowers his head when being scolded.

Head coach Edgar had no choice but to open his notebook. "Well, let's review the game plan we discussed before the game. Well, if we are in an ideal draft state..."

Before he could finish his words, a staff member knocked on the door and informed him to prepare for the game.

Edgar silently put away the notebook again.

At the competition site, under the slightly dim lights, everyone's fluorescent pens shined brightly, and a variety of light signs were dazzling.

"Welcome to Guangzhou, all the League of Legends summoners here, let me feel your enthusiasm, okay?"

Ren Dong, who was still in charge of hosting, walked towards the stage with the microphone in hand while speaking.

The audience at the scene couldn't help but be excited and responded enthusiastically by waving their fluorescent pens.

Ren Dong, who was not very talkative, quickly got to the point after a brief self-introduction: "Next, let's introduce the two teams that will be facing each other in the 2017 League of Legends World Championship quarterfinals. They are the third seed from LCK, Samsung Galaxy, and..."

"From our LPL champion team, the number one seed EDG!"

Amidst thunderous cheers, all members of EDG and SSG took the center stage in an orderly manner.

After greeting each other, both sides sat in their seats to prepare for the next game.

The camera moved to the commentary booth, where Guan Zeyuan and Changmao, who were in charge of today's commentary, were wearing neat suits and greeted the camera with a smile.

Guan Zeyuan openly addressed the recent public opinion, saying, "Although RNG defeated SSG twice in the group stage, we can't let our guard down. I always believe that Bo1 and Bo5 are two completely different types of matches, with different outcomes."

Changmao nodded. He felt that what the Samsung fans said was quite right.

"But today, SSG's opponent is EDG. I believe that as the strongest team in our LPL, EDG is not afraid of SSG's strength in Bo5."

"That's right. I hope EDG can get off to a good start for LPL in the first quarterfinals."

Guan Zeyuan agreed reluctantly.

He is not like other commentators. It is actually very difficult for him to take care of both ends when there are four home teams. In today's game, it is obvious that it is not a good thing for anyone to lose.

During the ongoing discussion, as the thick sounds of war rang out, the scene on the big screen suddenly changed.

"Okay, the draft has begun. EDG, being first in their group, has priority in choosing sides. Unexpectedly, they chose the red side, which has a low win rate, to start the game."

Speaking of this, Changmao subconsciously thought of one thing, EDG will make a big move today.

Because the red side has the advantage of having the priority of the second round of selection and the confrontation position of the last selection, the role of the Counter position is self-evident.

SSG's first three ban positions were given to Janna, Gragas and Tristana respectively.

Edgar frowned in the contestant's booth.

He didn't even think about pressing the Tristana, but it didn't stop EDG from pressing down Kalista first and then blocking Varus.

under such circumstances.

The bottom lane obviously no longer has the option to compete with the tower pushing flow. If the team does not press down the cannon, they can only grab the first floor first, but in response they will release the OP combination of Xayah and Rakan to the opponent.

Edgar couldn't accept this result and had to reluctantly press it off.

With EDG's third-hand Lulu blocking, both sides entered the first half of the pick phase.

Auxiliary Luo.

The first floor on SSG's side was quickly finalized.

"It's no problem to grab Rakan right away. We have to lock down the Xayah and Rakan pairing. EDG should definitely take Xayah, otherwise the opponent will lose her."

As Guan Zeyuan spoke, EDG had already locked in the pick without a doubt, and then finalized the popular swing position, the Prince of Demacia.

When it was SSG's turn, Master An took advantage of the situation and took down the jungler on the second floor and chose Pig Girl.

After some consideration, when both the two incense burner auxiliary options were suppressed, the rat was locked in as the choice to match with Luo.

The choice is once again on EDG's side.

"There's no soft support available, so let's just play hard support in the bottom lane. Xayah and Alistar will definitely be no problem."

Looking at EDG's priority choice, Guan Zeyuan expressed his deep and deep approval.

However, the next moment, EDG changed the hero in seconds and decided without hesitation.

robot!
The whole place was boiling.

Guan Zeyuan said in a surprised tone: "To be honest, this is a bit too much of a gambling game."

If you play the robot well, it can naturally bring huge advantages to the team in the early stage, but if you play it poorly, it will not even be as good as the super soldier in the later stage.

EDG's intention to defeat SSG in the early game was obvious enough for everyone to hear.

"The other side is really daring."

Edgar couldn't help but let out a faint smile. "If we can hold on to the early game, we'll win. Bixin, remember to keep an eye on the bottom lane."

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere this time."

Sect Leader An wiped his hands, his eyes looking extremely determined.

Only Chidi was a little flustered. Was it really necessary to target him in the bottom lane? He just kept going that way.

Both sides entered the second ban phase.

SSG killed Taliyah and Syndra.

EDG killed Kennen and Galio respectively.

When it came to the fourth floor, EDG locked Ryze in seconds and gave the last counter position to the top laner.

"If you pick Ryze, then SSG will give Crown a Cassiopeia. The mid-lane choices on both sides are pretty good and completely meet the needs of the lineup."

What Changmao was most curious about was EDG's final choice.

SSG locked Gnar on the fifth floor, still persisting to play Cuvee's single-line advantage. How can EDG deal with Gnar?

Just use big trees or big bugs to resist the pressure... or there are other options, such as fighting hard with crocodiles.

In the director's camera, Lin Ruo kept smiling at this moment: "Let's take Yasuo. He has a natural advantage against Gnar in the top lane. Just know how to cast Wind Wall."

"Don't do that, he's only at the nursery level of Yasuo." Tian Ye said.

"Actually, Demacia can also be a top laner." The reserved Scout said.

No kidding, Demacia is really good against Gnar.

"Don't say anything, the time is almost up, I took it as planned." Tian Ye, who was on the fifth floor, flipped around and locked on a choice that many viewers were not familiar with.

The sharp-eyed Guan Zeyuan's voice suddenly rose. "Urgot, should be called Dreadnought now. This unpopular hero, who received a rework in August of this year, has finally made his way to the World Championship stage."

He had thought about this option in his mind.

Because the reworked Urgot still has very long arms, especially in the early stages of online combat, his ability has been greatly improved. Because of his new passive, he has become a pure line-dominant hero.

It is quite difficult for Gnar to pull down this type of heroes.

So EDG’s choice is indeed correct.

Especially since Urgot is not difficult to operate, it is obvious that there is no possibility that A Guang will be unfamiliar with it.

In the SSG player seat.

Sect Leader An's expression suddenly changed.

If the opponent uses Urgot, they will definitely push the line, and then the probability of him being caught will greatly increase.

But you have to keep an eye on the bottom lane in the early stages, otherwise if it explodes, the gains will be counterproductive.

Faced with EDG's deliberate attempt to distract him, Master An could only pretend not to see it.

"Okay, the lineup is set. Blue side SSG, top lane Gnar, jungle Sejuani, mid lane Cassiopeia, bottom lane duo Rat and Rakan."

"Red side EDG, top laner Urgot, jungler Jarvan IV, mid laner Ryze, bottom lane duo Xayah and Blitzcrank."

"Both players are ready, so let's move on to the first game of the quarter-finals."

Amidst the overwhelming cheers from the audience, ten people from both sides quickly entered the Summoner's Rift.

The EDG team bought their equipment and dispersed in an orderly manner to various passes in the wild area.

SSG was more worried that EDG would have the idea of ​​invading, so they chose to stay together in a small area and place trinket eyes at the upper and lower river locations.

Both sides choose to open the upper half at the same time.

After defeating the red monster and getting the medicine bottle, the factory manager who reached level two controlled the prince and walked straight into the river.

He has only one purpose.

As Lin Ruo said before the game, they had to go find the pig to confirm their position at level two and not let Master An have an easy time. Once he has an hard time, the pressure on the SSG duo will naturally double in seconds.

And the location of Master An is also easy to find.

Since you start with blue in the top lane, if you want to go down quickly, there is only one place you can stay.

With the river vision in sight, the factory manager boldly invaded and came to the area behind the blue buff. He decisively stepped on the explosive fruit and jumped out of the wolf monster pit.

The next moment he ran into Sect Leader An.

Because of the vision, Master An pulled the three wolves to the exit between the two towers early.

The factory manager, who had already judged the situation, was no ordinary person. He first entered the pit with the eye of the trinket to survey the field of vision. After confirming that no one was passing by, he stepped on the explosive fruit and jumped to the exit between the two towers in the outer area.

Piglet's jungle clearing speed is slow, and it is unrealistic for her to eat up the three wolves' resources so quickly, so she must have lured the three wolves away and deliberately concealed her position.

The EQ combo knocked down Piglet's health and forced her to retreat, and he ate the two remaining little wolves.

This wave of invasion was successful.

In the bottom lane, Tian Ye's position at level 1 was very sophisticated, located on the periphery near the river.

He did not enter the grass to actively implement vision deterrence, so he drove away the rat and Luo at level 1 to control the line of troops and exert conventional suppression.

The SSG duo was thus able to move forward and clear the minions, but their movements were far slower than those of a single Xia.

The existence of the robot itself is a threat, especially for an ADC like Rat who has no displacement skills, forcing Ruler to be cautious and not dare to move forward. Instead, he stays in a conservative position and waits for the line of soldiers to gradually move closer to him.

He couldn't tell what skills Xia had learned yet, because Lin Ruo had never demonstrated them.

If the Q skill is learned, then EDG may just use a pure laning strategy of attacking through the lane to consume and lower the enemy's health.

If you learn the W skill, there will undoubtedly be a tendency to move forward and fight with fighting skills.

However, the existence of robots changed everything.

Even if Xayah simply learns the Q skill, Ruler is still afraid, because after level two, with the careful coordination of skills between Xayah and Blitzcrank, the damage is even much higher than learning the W skill.

When the melee soldier in front of him was low on health, Lin Ruo controlled Xia to launch a normal attack on the spot.

The moment the normal attack landed, a prompt for level change suddenly appeared. Lin Ruo changed his movements and quickly began to push forward through the remaining lines of soldiers.

Almost at the same time, Tian Ye also started moving forward by controlling the robot.

EDG takes second place, let’s fight!
Ruler, who had eaten the minion in front of him, controlled Twitch to turn around and retreat in a hurry. Croejj's Luo deliberately stopped and covered the area behind him to prevent his ADC from becoming a target that the robot might hook.

Possessing the ability to move, he is quite flexible. Even if he is hit by a robot's flying claw, his chance of escaping will never be less than 80%.

Tian Ye, who was moving forward steadily, seized the opportunity and shot out his flying claws. The next second, he successfully hooked Luo, who was deliberately blocking the mouse and swaying left and right.

Lin Ruo activated the Q skill, slightly straightened his graceful body, and threw out a string of feathers that passed through Luo's body and directly inserted into the road ahead.

Corejj was not too panicked and was caught in the hook. He quickly used his W skill to make a grand appearance and fall back.

As luck would have it, the robot used its E skill just in time to strike hard.

The animation of a grand appearance and landing has already appeared, but Luo, who was hit, is a little stuck. In the end, he just barely landed on the edge of the skill range and stopped in helplessness.

The robot's skill successfully interrupted Luo's complete displacement and knocked him into the air just when he was about to land.

Lin Ruo took advantage of this opportunity and launched a crucial basic attack after releasing the Q skill.

After reaching level 2, he still did not learn the W skill, but instead learned the so-called E skill.

With a sudden pull of the hook, Luo, who was just a little bit away from getting out of the place where the feather was stuck in the ground, was immediately bound in place.

Tian Ye stepped forward and followed up with a normal attack while using ignition and burning. Lin Ruo also followed up with a normal attack.

The rapid decrease in health forced the panicked Croejj to quickly use flash and evacuate from the tower.

Ruler treated Luo very stubbornly and did not blindly use his treatment just because Luo was in critical condition.

He is waiting.

If Lin Ruo dared to flash forward to deliver a final basic attack, he would not hesitate to give up his treatment to offset the attack.

Being able to trade healing for flash is definitely a good deal.
