LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 546 It's not that I have a bad mentality, it's that I'm a complete noob.
How else can this game be played if it's not destroyed?
In just 10 minutes, the classic game created an economic difference of over 3000 yuan.

More importantly, this economic disparity is distributed across all comparison paths.

GRF's collapse wasn't just limited to the bot lane or the mid lane; it extended to the top lane and the jungle, which had already collapsed from the start, plunging the entire team into an irreversible decline.

One of the most obvious points is...

Galio's ultimate was just about to be used, but Nocturne's ultimate was wasted in the first few seconds, which was crucial for the mid-jungle synergy on both sides.

GR doesn't even have the basics anymore.

If your nightmare doesn't have a big one, who will take my Galio flying in?
Therefore, even if GRF wanted to turn the tide, they had to drag it out, and in the next 3 minutes, they didn't even have the ability to find an opportunity.

The only opportunity to take action against GRF will be when Nightmare and Galio both have their ultimate abilities.

It wasn't until the Rift Herald team fight at the 14-minute mark that GRF finally had a chance to fight back, but this possibility was based on EDG taking the initiative to attack.

The EDG duo, who switched to the top lane, completely controlled the lane, which helped Lin Ruo easily control the Rift Herald.

Believing they had no chance of securing the Rift Herald, GRF decided to launch a surprise attack on EDG's bot lane duo at the top river entrance, hoping to gain a numerical advantage in terms of support.

It seems the opening was somewhat hasty, or perhaps it was premeditated and had entered a phase where it had to be opened.

Tazan's Nightmare was originally crouching in the back, waiting for the duo in front to make the first move, especially the Gragas's initiative.

Unfortunately...

Lehends's attack missed its target; the explosive barrel he tried to throw was dodged by Varus's Flash.

Then, through the gaps between minions, he was hooked by Thresh's hook, and Varus, who came forward, took away more than half of his health.

It was at this moment that Tazan chose to unleash his ultimate ability, filling the map with darkness and launching a proactive attack.

The barrel didn't manage to get anyone closer, but the physical attraction it provided brought Varus a little closer, which was somewhat useful.

Of course, it's not very useful.

The main reason was that Varus didn't have Flash at this stage, which led Tazan to try to seize the opportunity to initiate a team fight when EDG was scattered.

But Thresh with Flash became the biggest surprise.

After Nightmare's ultimate locks on, Galio's Heavenly Justice instantly covers the river, determined to kill Varus who has no Flash.

Logically speaking, iboy had no chance of escaping at all.

But Thresh has it.

The overlooked Tianye decisively chose to Flash away towards the river the moment Nightmare activated his ultimate, throwing a lantern to catch people behind him while dodging Galio's Heavenly Justice range.

It was this timely lantern that allowed iboy to be caught by Thresh and brought to safety just as Nightmare was about to strike and Galio was about to fall.

After that...

Nightmare's abilities were all used up, and Galio's ultimate ability also went down.

GRF's youngster became the prey that was surrounded.

Lin Ruo then abandoned the Rift Herald and instead used his ultimate ability to ride the vehicle to cut off the area behind the top tower, thus controlling all four GRF players in a narrow area where they could neither advance nor retreat.

While Chovy Galio was still hesitating whether to continue the pursuit.

Lin Ruo, whose path was blocked, was already unleashing a barrage of attacks on Kalista, who was positioned further back.

Viper, who was already incredibly fragile, finally experienced what burst damage from a mage meant, and was forced to use his ultimate to pull Gragas back.

But Lehends was also a little confused at this point.

After being pulled in by Kalista, he had to decide his landing direction. But did he really have to crash into Taliyah?
If you don't crash, you'll keep being drained; if you do crash...

The hesitant Lehends ultimately chose to crash into it, and then the expected scenario unfolded—wait, it seems that didn't happen.

He had expected Taliyah to use Flash to dodge the impact, then chase him down and easily secure the kill, but that didn't happen.

what happened?

Lehends didn't quite understand, but that didn't affect his fate as a support player.

He bumped into Taliyah and used his E to knock her up. After a while of coordinating with Kalista to deal damage, he was killed by Taliyah.

At this point, Lin Ruo's health had dropped to about one-third, which made it possible for Viper to kill him.

So when his movement speed wasn't fast enough, Viper decisively chose to Flash in and finish off the enemy.

Then the scene of the underworld unfolds.

Viper successfully dodged Taliyah's Rock Slam, but before he could even auto-attack a few times, Lin Ruo's Q skill, consisting of a large rock projectile and several smaller ones, instantly took away all his health.

Kalista died suddenly.

Lehends, who was expecting his ADC to receive a large bounty, was suddenly dumbfounded.

He suddenly understood why Lin Ruo didn't use Flash to dodge his impact.

The reason seems simple: there's simply no need for it.

Lin Ruo was very confident in his health management and the current explosive damage. In other words, Lin Ruo was probably more afraid that although he could reliably take down Gragas after using Flash to dodge, Kalista would definitely not come up.

So instead of dodging it, let the barrel hit it, and Kalista will come up and deliver herself.

Don't believe me? Just look.

To get the kill, Viper even used Flash to get in.

With a swift combination of killing and forcing others to flee, Lin Ruo's unwavering confidence yielded substantial rewards.

"Ah, this Taliyah's damage."

The LCK commentator, who was still clinging to his fantasies, was instantly brought back to reality.

Lin Ruo wasn't just slow to react; she was practically toying with them.

Look at this damage.

That's true, the Murder Mystery Book has been stacked up to 15 times.

It's clear that the GRF duo, especially Viper, fell for one of the three great illusions of life.

I could fight back, no, I couldn't fight back at all.

As for the other mid-jungle duo, Ryze, who was driving, had already joined the battle. In a three-on-two situation, being able to trade one Thresh was already a stroke of luck.

However, this did not prevent GRF from suffering a devastating four-for-one exchange; the situation was beyond description.

At this moment, GRF clearly overlooked a major problem.

Actually, their strongest fighter at this time should have been Urgot. So why didn't the Sword Emperor, who had teleport, teleport down in time to join the battle?

When he saw that all five GRF player icons were black, the player who had been focusing too much on the top lane suddenly realized what was going on.

Oh, Urgot got solo killed in the bot lane. Oh well, that's alright.

Wait a minute... why was Urgot able to be solo killed by Aatrox?

It shouldn't be.

Urgot is the strongest in the early game, so why was he solo killed by Aatrox? Even if the latter had an economic advantage, it shouldn't have happened like that.

The Roaring Emperor was completely baffled, as were the GRF players on the bench. Fortunately, the GRF players couldn't see the replay, but the Roaring Emperor, with his god-like perspective, could see the complete and clear replay.

In short, when Sword King, who was pushing the lane, saw that a fight suddenly broke out in the top lane, he instinctively rushed to teleport up to provide support. As a result, he then did something that treated Aatrox like an idiot.

One second he was farming minions, the next he retreated into the bushes and teleported in one smooth motion.

Even if GimGoon were completely clueless, as long as he wasn't blind, he would know what was going on when Urgot suddenly revealed his teleport skill in the top lane as soon as he entered the bush.

Urgot is the one passing the bag.

So, I activated my ultimate to accelerate, went up and used EQ to successfully interrupt and break the block.

This infuriated the Sword Emperor. "I've been saving up my TP for so long to support you, and you just interrupted it like that? Don't I have any dignity?"

Without saying a word, he used his E skill to move forward, intending to pick up the Sword Demon and fight him.

Unfortunately, I didn't control the distance well, and I was also pulled by the Aatrox's W chain, so the most suitable combo damage was gone.

Urgot's combat power dropped significantly.

What followed was a simple and straightforward solo kill scene: after unleashing three Qs, he chased after Urgot and kept attacking.

You flash your weapon, I flash mine; you run, I chase.

Urgot, with four legs, shouldn't be able to outrun Aatrox, who has two legs. But sorry, this is Urgot wielded by Sword Master.

What is ineffective positioning? Just look at Sword Emperor's operation to know. In order to dodge Sword Demon's first Q knock-up, not only did his retreat speed slow down, but more importantly, he couldn't even turn left and right.

And so, in this absurd way, he was hacked to death by the Sword Demon in front of the turret.

After watching this clip, the Roaring Emperor felt his eyes were burning with rage.

However, he attributed the reason to his mental breakdown. There was no way around it; it was perfectly normal for him to make such a basic mistake when his emotions were unstable at this level.

However, in Lin Ruo's view...

As the man who knows the Sword Emperor best, he only wants to say one thing: is it possible that this is the Sword Emperor's standard operating procedure?

Judging from the beaming face of GimGoon sitting next to him, Sword Emperor's series of actions had successfully amused him.

What kind of mental breakdown affects performance?

Based on his observation of three games and more than ten practice matches against him, GimGoon could say with absolute certainty that this player was simply bad.

As a top-tier top laner known for his resilience under pressure, GimGoon feels he hasn't experienced that feeling of being under pressure in a long time.

Although he was suppressed by the hero in two of the three games, thanks to the opponent Sword Emperor's micro-management in the laning phase, he did not feel any so-called laning pressure.

Alas, Kim Gung was also helpless, unable to unleash his full potential.

Unlike the Sword Emperor, who was filled with regret and wondering why he hadn't escaped even after burning through all his energy, this time...

Although I made mistakes, I really tried my best.

They could barely be considered the last hope for the entire village, but after being solo-killed, GRF is completely finished.

Because of all four positions, everything is completely beyond repair.

Who do you expect to save the game? Obviously, only the opposing team can step up in this situation.

It seems that just having one or two people step forward is completely ineffective. If Lin Ruo, whose Mejai's Soulstealer has reached level 20, doesn't step forward, GRF still has no hope of winning the game.

Finally, Lin Ruo stepped forward.

Of course, this means taking a completely opposing stance to GRF.

On the bottom lane, while the Sword Demon was recalling, the Sword Emperor, who thought he could push the wave lane well, went out to farm minions one second ago, but the next second a wall blocked his way.

Next up was a reckless rock sparrow.

No way, what makes you think you, a squishy mage, dare to get close to me? I am Urgot, the strongest warrior king in this world championship.

The Sword Emperor felt at least nine-tenths of his dissatisfaction.

He immediately used E to dash forward, activated Q to fire bullets, and prepared to teach the arrogant Taliyah a lesson.

So what if you're fat? Does it affect your ability to be a squishy character? You're a noob when it comes to melee combat.

Only later did he realize that Fat was truly remarkable.

Lin Ruo used a Rock Thrusting attack to lift Urgot out of his close-range range, and then chased after him, beating Sword Emperor until he questioned his existence.

After all, a single combo of skills can melt Urgot's health like crazy. Wow, it seems that a 20-stack Mejai's Soulstealer is really amazing.

At this moment, Sword Emperor wanted to run away, but with Flash, Lin Ruo almost had to tell him herself, "Sorry, you'll die even if you run to the fountain."

After this wave of criticism, it wasn't the players and commentators on the field who were questioning their existence, but rather the South Korean viewers watching the match.

They felt they had watched three unforgettable matches, especially since they were held in their own country, making them truly memorable.

Therefore, if one doesn't leave the live stream at this point, it clearly indicates a masochistic tendency.

Most South Korean viewers chose to quit immediately after watching this.

Only a small number remained in the live stream room, and of course, they left behind a barrage of criticism.

[When you think LCK teams can't beat LPL teams, you'll realize that, actually, we can't beat EDG. Since last year, every LCK team that has faced EDG has lost.]

[Actually, it can be simplified: from the moment we met Lin Ruo, we were born to kneel.]

[Excuse me, can we just surrender? Otherwise, maybe we should stop torturing GRF; they're playing like they're not even human.]

Are we normal people? Damn, GRF has driven me crazy! Is this the LCK champion we had such high hopes for before the tournament? Fine, the World Championship is over.

[After so much preparation in Busan, it's a disgrace to West Africa that two Chinese teams made it to the finals.]

[GEN is a disgrace! KT is a disgrace! GRF is a disgrace! And KZ, you are the biggest disgrace, unable to even beat European and American teams.]

...

Korean viewers were exhausted from criticizing the streamers.

Unlike the LPL livestreams, which are filled with copy-pasted messages, this one is different.

Even before the match ended, those five words had already dominated all the live streams.

Congratulations to EDG! Congratulations to EDG!

[Holy crap, they're really going to the finals! The LPL Autumn Split is here! Haha, I wonder how traumatized the Korean fans are.]

Is the final being held in Busan? I doubt any Korean oppas will buy tickets then. I'm going to try and snag some for the final.

[If you bought tickets in advance, what you should do is contact them and ask them to sell them to you at the lowest possible price. They will most likely sell them to you because they can't possibly accept going to watch two Chinese teams play in the finals live, hahaha.]

[You guys have too little faith in EDG, unlike me who bought tickets for the finals before the semifinals even started, because I knew the finals would be an all-Chinese affair.]

The LPL viewers who were chatting enthusiastically in the live stream no longer needed to watch the match, because they knew that it would be another team fight victory.

For example, this wave.

It seems like we'll push the crystal after we finish the fight.
