LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 310 Yasuo Solo, I predicted your prediction

BJ local time on the evening of December 12st.

The 2017 All-Star Game kicked off as scheduled in the LCS studio, which can accommodate about 500 people.

The first thing to be held in the morning was the regional competition that Riot had already arranged. A total of eight teams participated, namely China LPL, North America LCS, Brazil CBLOL, Europe LEC, Turkey TCL, and Southeast Asia GPL.

As well as LMS representative teams from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and LCK representative teams from South Korea.

In the main competition, the eight teams are divided into two groups according to the regulations to compete in a single round-robin BO1 match, and the top two will enter the semi-final BO3 round.

"Thank goodness Brother Lin is here to start the team fight. If we had to play a double round-robin group stage and a BO5 final, how tiring would that be?" Xiao Ming, who was lying in the backstage, didn't dare to think about it. It was tiring enough to come all the way here and adjust to the time difference, and now he had to prepare for this so-called All-Star Game.

Lin Ruo smirked and said, "It's okay. Actually, it won't be too tiring if we are eliminated directly in the group stage."

"Don't bother. I haven't won a championship this year. The All-Star team championship is still a championship, and winning it is a kind of success."

957, who has always been more introverted, spoke with emotion. He just wanted to win a championship. What was wrong with that?

And this is the only championship he can win. Each region can only send two people to participate in the Solo competition. The ones representing their LPL are Lin Ruo and Xiaohu.

957 No objection.

Because his Solo ability has always been ordinary.

"By the way, have you seen the new version changes? The North American version is a bit ahead. It seems that all the All-Star matches are using the preseason version of the S8 season that just arrived."

957 adjusted his glasses. It was obvious that this was a very important point.

Preseason updates have always been unprecedented, and this one brings an unexpected overhaul, with rune and talent reforges merging into one.

The adjusted and designed rune system will consist of 60 runes in five major schools: Precision, Domination, Witchcraft, Determination, and Enlightenment.

Choose two of the five schools and use six runes to enter the canyon.

Among them, Precision represents powerful output, Domination represents instant close combat and rapid burst, and Witchcraft represents skill output and spell enhancement.

Resolute represents tanks and resistance, while Inspiration, on the contrary, represents creative tools and the reversal of conventions, such as Hextech Snare, which obviously takes some effort in the initial research and adaptation.

All in all, this version update is comprehensive, and breaking through level 30 is no longer a dream.

Players who haven't played for a few days may even be surprised to find that League of Legends is like a completely different game when they log in.

"Is this still the League of Legends I know?" is still trending on Weibo.

"This one, I finished reading it in just a few minutes." Lin Ruo smiled calmly. The rune system of S7 was not as good as the current revised version, and he liked it more.

"You understood it in just a few minutes?" 957 was surprised.

Xiao Hu pretended to scold: "Brother Lin is a genius beyond your imagination, don't question it."

A few people were chatting and laughing, and the draw ceremony on the screen began, which was about the grouping of the team competition.

The main thing is that you don’t know the enemy before the fight begins.

However, based on the grouping based on the results of the World Championship, they definitely cannot be grouped with LCK.

The grouping was completed after ten minutes.

They are placed in Group A with LPL, LEC, Brazil's CBLOL, and Southeast Asia's GPL.

The rest will report to Group B.

The first game was between the host North American division and the LCK All-Star team. The lineups of both sides were relatively conventional. It could not be said to be a professional competition, but it was definitely not a so-called entertainment game either.

After about 30 minutes of fierce battle, the LCK team finally won the first game with classic operations.

The atmosphere on the Korean online forum is barely acceptable.

Xiba played quite well. Although the five of them had just formed a team, their chemistry was quite good.

Come on, we must win this competition and defeat LPL to avenge our previous defeat.

[Don't relax, time is running out, go back and review and find the problem. ]

The next second game is the contest between the LPL and LEC All-Star teams. LCK audiences are waiting to see, with a hostile attitude, and don't want to miss any research on the LPL.

But the subsequent results were beyond imagination.

Ten players from both teams sat in the player seats amid the cheers of the audience. As soon as the ban removal phase began, LPL showed their attitude towards the so-called main competition of the regional competition.

What kind of competition is this? Isn't it just a fun match?

Juggernaut and Demacia were both banned, and when it was Lin Ruo's turn, he shamelessly pressed Yasuo, which made A P so angry that he typed two rows of question marks in the chat box.

Now LEC also knows what LPL wants to play. If they don’t play with you seriously, it will obviously be boring if you take it seriously.

What's more, when it comes to causing trouble, LEC is number one and no one dares to say they are second.

The two sides immediately started a ten-man melee to the best of their ability.

957 took out Gangplank in order to develop, which was barely a normal choice, but the EDG on the second and third floors were like crazy, taking out two supports at once, Minotaur and Blitzcrank.

The LEC team was stunned. What kind of top-tier bottom lane combination is this?
"Can it be done?"

Facing Xiao Ming's doubts, Lin Ruo was full of confidence: "It's guaranteed. Remember to take Hextech Net as your talent. You can definitely take down the bottom lane if you do it."

"Then what should I play?" Mingkai was already confused by this lineup.

"You play as Nidalee, pick up kills, come and get them." Lin Ruo commanded.

Mingkai was very tempted and immediately locked onto the Nidalee, preparing to stay in the bottom lane. As for 957 in the top lane, they just wanted to stay alive.

Mid Hu, who always plays it safe, finally picked out Lucian in the mid lane, barely making the lineup look like a human.

[A bot-Niu combo in the bottom lane? I've never seen that before. They're doing research, right?]

[I was about to withdraw, but since you chose this, I'm sorry, I'll just make some noodles first.]

[In this game, either the opponent or we are super ghost in the bottom lane. ]

Facts have proved that the opponent is always the super ghost. Even if Ou Cheng took out EZ to protect himself, he could not withstand the new Hextech Net.

The combination of Robot Bull and Leopard Girl focuses on strong crossing.

The melee lasted more than 30 minutes, with nearly forty kills, which brought the audience to a climax.

"Oh, compared to the dull macro in the last game, I think this game should be the opening ceremony of this All-Star Game."

"Yeah, do you know how many viewers we lost last time?"

In the English commentary booth on site, the two commentators spoke the truth without any ambiguity.

Who hooks the eight depends on your Korean operation.

During the handshake between the two sides, the defeated Perzk was very dissatisfied. It didn't make sense that their Snowman and Olaf combination couldn't defeat the opponent.

Although he was very happy, after losing, sorry, he is not happy at all now.

The one who was the most unhappy from beginning to end was Ou Cheng. His EZ was even reduced to half health and was killed by the magic-equipped Minotaur.

Simply unheard of.

There was a heated discussion on the Twitter forum at this time.

[Very good, even in the All-Stars Game, EU and NA lost together, neither of them gave in.]

No, we in the LEC fought back and forth, unlike you in North America, where you were completely dominated by operations from beginning to end.

"Yes, losing to Lin Shen is not shameful. We found happiness, while North America is just bored."

【EU is larger than NA, obviously.】

In comparison, the discussion on the Korean Internet is even more heated.

What does LPL mean by this? Are they just giving up because they're afraid they can't beat us?

"Yes, that's what they were thinking. They wanted to force us to not play seriously. That way, even if we lose, they'll have something to say. We were just playing around, why did you take it so seriously?"

Riot Games clearly stated this was a competitive match, but they treated it like entertainment. Siba, what a bunch of unprofessional people!

The LCK audience's mindless outbursts couldn't even be heard at the bustling scene.

After the second game of leading the team, the Southeast Asian team that came on stage later did not pretend anymore. Facing the Brazilian wildcard team, they easily used their killer move of four protecting one Nidalee, focusing on the dad-raising style.

Levi had the most satisfying development game of the whole game.

All the teams immediately switched from being serious at the beginning to having fun playing the game, even the LCK which was making its second appearance. Faker quietly took out a mid laner Zac, his favorite.

After the entire morning's confrontation, LPL and LCK led with two wins and no losses respectively.

Even in an entertainment match, the side with stronger hard power wins the game.

After a short break after the happy game, the 1V1Solo competition that started in the afternoon was undoubtedly the most anticipated event for most viewers.

In the round of 16, the first match was between Lin Ruo from the LPL region and Perzk from the LEC.

Both teams were interviewed by the host before the match. Ah P said frankly and with a smile, "The reason we lost to LPL this morning was all due to my teammates. So, obviously, in this one-on-one matchup, I will easily give Lin Ruo a spot in the top 16."

The words fell.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Lin Ruo calmly responded, "I heard that Perzk has reached the top 16 many times in his career, so one more shouldn't be a big deal."

The studio, which was neither too big nor too small, exploded into chaos. If you say something naughty, you'll get applause, but if you say something naughty to Europeans, the applause has to be even louder.

After all, North American audiences are never stingy when it comes to competing head-on with the European region.

As they sat down at their computers, the BP began, and both sides locked onto Yasuo without hesitation.

There was another scream at the scene. During the countdown, the North American director who was good at shooting directly focused the screen on Lin Ruo's talent interface.

Under the new talent system, Lin Ruo is very skilled in using it. He directly chooses precision for the cornerstone rune. The Wind Swordsman is for output. The first level of strong attack, combined with the eq skill, can easily create a small burst.

Triumph, joy and critical strike.

Choose Domination as the secondary talent, still pursuing output, and match Sudden Attack with Greedy Hunter.

[How did you adjust your talent so skillfully? I still don't quite understand it.]

[Lin Gou has been secretly playing games these past two days while in North America. Otherwise, how could he have mastered his talents so easily?]

[Here we go guys, I predict that Yasuo with Nightbringer will win this game.]

[What you said makes sense. I checked and both sides are using the Nightbringer skin. The side with the Nightbringer skin is definitely going to win.]

【I listen to your words, but it’s as if I didn’t hear them.】

...

"Oh, the game has begun. Let's see who will be the first of the top 16 today." As the English commentary spoke, both sides quickly entered the duel map, the Howling Abyss.

Ah P immediately typed on the public screen: "Dude, don't be scared and hide in the bushes when the time comes."

"No, I will just hide in the tower." Lin Ruo replied.

"Dude, don't think about going home just because I've knocked half your health off."

"No, I believe you won't reply either." The two chatted in a hurry while waiting for the soldiers.

As the lines of troops intersected, both sides tacitly stood at the back of the pile of troops and responded to each other from afar.

Ap Yasuo kept moving and twisting his body, while Lin Ruo stood still with his back to him, pretending to be cool.

When the health of the three soldiers was reduced to half and they were about to die, both sides turned and moved forward. Ah P was a little faster and took the initiative. He walked to the periphery and killed the first three soldiers with a Q.

Lin Ruo later used Q to eat the soldier in front, and then used a basic attack to eat the second soldier in front of the soldier line, and then retreated to create distance.

"Why are you being so pretentious? One step behind, that way Ah P will charge up his first Q first."

In the LPL lounge, Xiaohu blushed as he listened to Mingkai's words: "Let him push. More soldiers are actually more beneficial for Lin Ruo to consume them."

The most important thing when playing Yasuo is line control. As long as the situation of the minion line is good enough, it will take only a few minutes to show off.

Lin Ruo naturally understood this and was not panicked at all. He had just deliberately gone ahead so that Yasuo from the blue team could push the line first. Once the soldiers came into his range, it would be easy to consume them after he reached level three.

When your own soldiers are gathered near the tower, then A P's movements will inevitably be restricted. It is easy for him to rush into the defense tower if he E moves forward a little. At most, you can use E to blow him with the front-line soldiers.

However, it would be strange if Lin Ruo was impressed by such an obvious way of consumption.

After dodging A-P's gale by standing still, Lin Ruo directly controlled Yasuo to play the flute on the spot.

Ah P immediately asked: "Double queue with the defense tower?"

Lin Ruo was very calm. Didn't he just say he would hide under the defense tower? He kept his word.

This is called keeping one's word.

Next, both sides tried to consume each other, but it was just a harmless loss of shield and a slight exchange of health, and it was hard to tell who was better.

However, A-P is ahead in last-hitting, and winning the game with 100 hits is also one of the rules of the game.

The soldier line entered the slow push time. Realizing that it was difficult to poke, A-P controlled the speed of clearing soldiers and gathered the soldiers farther away from the defense tower.

At this time, there were about eight blue soldiers in front of Lin Ruo, but there were only four in front of A P.

The two of them were standing on the periphery, one above and one below, keeping a distance from each other.

Seeing the soldiers approaching from the side, Lin Ruo pressed the skill, and almost at the same time, Ap Yasuo followed suit.

The two men moved in unison and moved forward towards the central line with two consecutive EQs, interrupting each other's passive shields while each charging up two stages of Gale.

Lin Ruo used E again to retreat along the front line. A-P, who was afraid of the defensive tower, did not dare to follow the E soldiers forward. He just relied on the suppression of his own line of soldiers to move forward slightly and try to consume the enemy.

Lin Ruo turned around and manipulated Yasuo to return to the position of the line of soldiers coming from behind E, and then A and E were close to him. After he got to the back, he took the initiative to consume the enemy earlier than A P.

However, at this time, the second stage of my Q has not been refreshed yet, so I cannot follow up with the EQ combo with Gale.

When A.P. Yasuo's E came up, Lin Ruo once again used the third soldier in front of him to retreat and create distance.

Ah P used the wind wall to defend himself because he thought Lin Ruo would turn around and throw out a gust of wind immediately.

And before that, he himself had already lost it.

Facing the oncoming gust of wind, Lin Ruo anticipated it early and used E to borrow the help of other minions to pull away, and then opened a wind wall to resist the damage from the minions.

Although they benefited from the previous consumption, due to the influence of the military line, the health of the two people dropped to a similar level.

However, Lin Ruo still had Ji Feng at this time, and there was no doubt that he had taken the absolute advantage.

Another EQ combo, using the close soldiers to knock the blue team's Yasuo away,
AA followed by Q to kill Steel Flash, chase and beat, knocking down half of AA Yasuo's health. Seeing that the opposite line of soldiers is about to come up, he knows when to stop and retreats in time.

The resilient Ah P, still holding his medicine bottle, chose not to return to the city. Instead, he typed on the public screen: "Using the minion wave to bully me more?"

Lin Ruo immediately typed a reply: "It's okay, you can bully me with your troops next time."

Because he is going to start pushing the line later.

[Are you still chatting or fighting here? Can you be more professional and just fight? ]

[Bad review! Our Yasuo Solo is usually decided by E at level 2, but now it's almost level 4.]

[Isn't the winner determined at level one? Do we just go online and ignite and start A right away?]

Although LPL viewers cannot see what is happening in the chat interface, they can see obvious pauses.

Ah P stopped first, and Lin Ruo guessed that he was typing and stopped too.

Lin Ruo, who had to wait a while before typing after A P finished, thought that the two of them were stuck.

"You're done."

Lin Ruoduo typed three words and started a crazy counterattack.

A P thought that he chose to let go at the beginning because he was afraid that his skills were not as good as his, but after this wave of fighting, it was obviously a tactic.

Damn it, using tactics in the solo match.

The heart is so dirty.

The soldiers arrived under the tower in the blink of an eye, and A P also began to shuttle back and forth. Although he was as fierce as a tiger, his health was still low.

Lin Ruo was not tolerant at all. My health is higher than yours, why do you dare to jump like this?

When he first released the line, he didn't consume the same amount of health so arbitrarily.

Ah P, who didn't even go home, was still wandering around. When soldiers came up, he didn't use E to play Yasuo. He used another EQ combo and rushed out of the tower. He was hit by a Q head-on. Feeling the pain, he was about to go back, but he turned around and found that the red soldier behind him had been killed...

Wait, it seems there's no going back now...

Two gusts of wind were ready to go, and a touch of ignition completely dispelled A P's desire to operate.

Seeing his health dropped to half, after exchanging a few attacks to consume his energy, A-P controlled Yasuo to turn around and retreat into the tower.

Run, run quickly.

If you don't run now, you'll lose your life.

But the problem is that he can't seem to escape. At the moment, Lin Ruo is not worried about being replaced at all. According to the rules, whoever dies first loses, so he only needs to complete the kill before being killed by the defense tower.

In the past, you absolutely shouldn't cross the tower before entering the tower, but now you have to cross it.

The two Yasuo entered the tower one after the other, and the distance between them was just enough to use E. Lin Ruo, with Gale in hand, used EQ to knock the target away.

Ah P also used his flash to move away at the right time. He knew better than anyone that with his current health being knocked away, he would definitely die.

But he was cautious.

Flashing is not simply about sending it to the area behind the tower in front, because in his opinion, with the top strength of Lin Ruo, there is a high probability that he will see through his move of flashing to escape the EQ knockback.

So he will definitely follow the EQ flash of the predicted position, then he will die again and be severely punished.

In order to achieve a counterattack, A P chose to dodge to the side and rear. This position would definitely not be predicted. By then, he would wait for others to dodge out, and then turn around to be hit by his own Ha Sa and be knocked away by the wind.

Wouldn't it be easy to kill the enemy by defeating the defense tower?

A golden light appeared.

With his mind made up, A P successfully landed on the side and rear.

Almost at the same time, another golden light appeared.

Lin Ruo had indeed predicted and used EQ to dodge, he knew that Ah P would never sit still and wait for death.

But the direction he chose was also very biased. Yes, he also dodged to the side and rear.

Yasuo No. 1 landed, and Yasuo No. 2 followed closely.

When he saw himself being knocked high into the air, A P had to realize that he was really going to die this time.

First blood.

The final basic attack landed, and the sound of the first blood bursting out resounded in the Howling Abyss. The shouts from the scene then rose like thunder at that moment.

[Fuck, 666, Master Lin is awesome.]

[Oh no, this can be dodged by EQ, and this time it really dodged my waist. ]

[Is there going to be abuse in the entertainment match? 】

"That's too cruel! You've seen through Ah P's underwear. What are you trying to do by showing off in an all-star entertainment game? Can you please give people some face?"

The comments in the LPL live broadcast room were rolling, and the English commentator on the scene was also screaming in shock:

"Oh my god! With a brilliantly predicted EQ flash, Lin Ruo successfully found Perzk's unusual landing position and completed the kill, winning the game and becoming the first player to advance to the quarterfinals!"

"Not only that, but congratulations to Perzk for being the first player to make it out of the Round of 16, remember, he's from the European LEC."

It would have been fine if they hadn't been reminded, but once they were reminded, the North American audience laughed even harder.

[Dude, don't be so hard on the loser. What, a European player? Dude, you're so bad that even God is sickened.]

[That's right, Lin Shen feels very disgusted. Remember, anyone who pretends in front of Lin Shen will not have a good ending.]

[Lin Shen has succeeded in pretending to be awesome once again. I will continue to be his loyal fan until he fails.]

[Perzk, who failed to advance to the round of 16, should shed tears of regret.]

NA is bigger than EU. We haven't lost a single NA solo match yet. Don't ask why we haven't played yet. Just tell us if we haven't lost.

...

At this point, after the game ended, Ah P felt hopeless.

He was outshone, turned into a Muggle by a backward EQ flash.

There is no doubt that this will be a shame, an eternal shame. If I had known that I would return to the city as soon as my health dropped to half, why would I bother with the face of bragging? I would have kept it all and ended up slapping myself in the face.

Tired, Ah P looked up. Lin Ruo had already walked over and extended his hand to him. He spoke in fluent English, "You still need to practice, Ah P. Even someone as good as me doesn't dare to pretend, so why are you pretending? You must be careful to keep a low profile in the future."

Ah P's face suddenly became more resolute, and he stood up to shake hands with Lin Ruo: "I will be back."

Sorry, failure is nothing to him.

After experiencing so many failures, Ah P has obviously developed a great character that ordinary people do not have.

As long as he gets some sleep and the sun rises, he will forget his failure, regain his confidence and set sail again.
