LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 50: Battle on Lingshi Road

"Thresh's Seven No-Hook Laws, what a ridiculous term."

Ai Loli sat in the lounge preparing for the competition, watching the live broadcast clips of Bilibili and laughing so hard that her chest was sticking to her back.

He couldn't imagine what Lin Ruo had been doing in the base after not seeing him for half a month.

Weibo Tieba was at its peak, and for a while it was full of dirty talk about him. The number of views of Thresh's seven no-hook rules on Bilibili reached millions, and everyone was singing it.

"Brother Lin, you're expanding the live streaming business behind my back, right?"

Lin Ruo leaned back in his chair, shaking his head. "I don't know. I just played a duo with my idol, and out of nowhere I became famous. Now my memes are everywhere."

He was just doing some abstract stuff during the Chinese New Year, but who knew he would suddenly become a meme creator.

The number of followers on Weibo has exceeded 200,000, and it has become a real base for people to have fun.

Damn it, he was not popular despite his impressive performance in the competition, but he became a huge hit by taking advantage of the popularity of the fat guy and saying some dirty words during the live broadcast.

"Excuse me, if Thresh doesn't hook in level 7, what should he hook?" A Guang, who was surfing intensively, asked for an answer online.

"It's okay if Thresh is bad, but he has to make up the seven-no-hook meme." Tian Ye, who had also seen Slice, said sarcastically. He couldn't believe that Lin Ruo was a human when he made those two hooks at level 1.

Lin Ruo smiled and nodded knowingly: "You know, since I don't hook anything, it's natural that my teammates surrendered and I hooked."

"I give in. This is how you play, right?"

Even if he were beaten to death, A Guang would never have thought of this answer.

"Okay, be serious and get ready to go on stage to compete." Abu, who was wearing a work badge and acting as a sword, looked at the time. He usually admonished his team members to be humble.

The current time is 2:10 on the afternoon of February 17th. The second week of the spring season after the new year has begun. The first return game is EDG vs. Snake, a battle between the two heroes of Lingshi Road.

……

"Let us welcome the EDG eSports Club team to the stage."

Following the host's emotional opening remarks and the long-awaited cheers, the EDG starting five took their seats.

"Okay, hello everyone watching the live broadcast. You are now watching the 2017 LPL Spring Split regular season week two match between EDG and Snake. I am the commentator, Dajie."

"I'm commentator Guan Zeyuan."

Two commentators in suit jackets stood upright at the commentary desk and began their work today.

The long-awaited competition returned, and the official live broadcast room exploded with heat, and for a while it was all filled with the name of that hot man.

[Brother Lin, feel free to fly. You'll take the blame yourself.]

Is there a post-match interview with the King of Talk today? If not, I won't be watching.

[I assume EDG will win, right? Be careful not to stumble and fall against Team Snake.]

[The emperor is on patrol again, shut up.]

[Forget about forcing a match. Can Lin finish the match quickly and go back to the live stream? I want to see the jokes.]

I want to see Thresh's "Seven No-Hook" rule appear in professional competitions.

【Come on EDG, secure your third victory.】

"The live broadcast room is very popular today, a little beyond imagination." Guan Zeyuan was the first to sigh as he looked at the barrage of comments that exploded on the screen.

Wang Jide replied deftly, "Hahaha, Zeyuan must have heard about the recent meme. I feel like the livestream's popularity is all thanks to that man in the contestant booth."

The two looked at each other without saying much.

At the EDG player's table, Lin Ruo glanced at the slightly excited Ai Loli and said, "Gou Ba, you were busy today, right? You're so excited." "No, Brother Lin, I went home for the New Year and practiced a new hero. I think it's very effective."

Ai Loli, rubbing her hands in anticipation, said, "If I play a hero who can both go up and start a team fight and also protect you, Brother Lin, with a shield from behind, then don't you think I'd be invincible as a jungler?"

Isn’t this the new hero Green God that just came out?

Lin Ruo didn't know what Ai Loli was keeping secret in the Xia Ji bar, but it was always a good thing to dare to try to expand the hero pool.

"Yes, young man, you have a bright future. I am very optimistic about you."

"Focus." Nofe's monotonous voice muttered the word behind him.

He had already observed the enemy situation in the opposing player's box and came to a conclusion based on it.

The opposing coach was even more anxious than him.

At this moment, in the Snake player's seat, the starting teammates all had a gloomy look on their faces, and even the most cheerful Saint Spear brother kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

Since the start of the spring season, Snake has been struggling to win a game, and in their last match they suffered an upset loss to the newly promoted GT team, which made the boss furious.

You know, Snake was one of the strong contenders for the World Championship last year.

Not to mention that they invested a lot of money this year and bought four players to strengthen the team, but ended up playing like this.

Any normal boss can't stand it.

"Yaleima, you let me play against EDG right away, you really don't leave us any chance to survive." Brother Shuijing, who returned from injury, rarely said a word while sitting in the support position.

To this day, he still remembers that training match. It has to be said that he deserves half the credit for EDG's new AD's rise to the top.

"It's no big deal. It doesn't matter who we fight. It's not our style to be timid right from the start. We must always believe that only hard work can win."

Chicken Soup King Zhu Kai stood behind everyone holding a small notebook, scribbling with his pen, hiding his panic while cheering up the team members.

If you say there is no way out, then he is the one who really has no way out.

After going back to the club’s owner for a meeting with him a few days ago, the pressure is now ridiculous.

If the team performs poorly, the first person to leave will definitely be him, the person who pretended to be the head coach.

In view of the ugly loss to GT in the last game, Zhu Kai, who had a strong desire to survive, specially adjusted the starting lineup. Except for the top and jungle positions, all other positions were replaced.

The Korean aid Tank was removed from the middle lane and replaced by Zzitai, and the new aid Ohq was used in the bottom lane. The auxiliary was carried up by Shuijing Ge who temporarily changed positions, and the arrangement and combination began directly.

If one group of people doesn't work, then we'll switch to another. We're more in number, so we can always find a way out.

But today they were facing a strong enemy, EDG. Zhu Kai obviously didn't dare to hold on to too much hope, and he said timidly:

"Brothers, that's it. Winning once is considered a success. Don't lose too badly. The boss is watching from the sidelines."

"Okay, okay, keep going." Saint Spear finally said something positive.

He had a determined look on his face when he first entered the game, vowing to beat the Korean guy and secure his starting spot. He pumped his fist in encouragement and said softly, "Come on."

Entering the BP phase, three bans were completed, and EDG locked Jayce on the blue side.

"Also let Mouse play Jace?"

As a commentator who personally witnessed the previous game, Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but question it: "Actually, Mouse's performance against WE's Jayce in the last game wasn't very good. The win was purely due to the perfect performance of the bottom lane. EDG gave him the pick again in this game. It seems like EDG is being a bit stubborn and determined to change their playstyle."

Wang Jide had a different opinion. "I think EDG is targeting Snake. As an acrobatic top laner in the LPL, Snake has a very wide champion pool. Since I can't limit him, why not pick a strong laning Jayce? That way, no matter what top laner Snake chooses next, he won't be countered."
