LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 547 ends, final internal battle!
"Wow, it's only been 20 minutes and all three outer turrets have fallen! How are you going to hold on, GRF?!"

On the LPL commentary booth.

Miller's excited voice never stopped from the moment EDG gained the advantage.

Due to their significant economic disadvantage, EDG didn't even need the Baron buff; they easily destroyed all of GRF's outer turrets by simply harassing and picking off isolated targets.

At this moment, GRF faced the overwhelming pressure of three lanes of high ground creeps.

At this point, EDG finally began to operate in a more organized manner and prepare to end the game, making GRF suffer greatly with their 1-3-1 split push strategy.

All GRF can do is look for opportunities.

After temporarily clearing the mid-lane minion wave, the three GRF players grouped up and retreated to defend the bottom high ground.

Scout made a mistake while retreating and crouched on a ward, lingering at the entrance of the jungle path, unaware that his every move was within GRF's vision.

Viper then activated his ultimate ability and used Flash to close the distance with Gragas.

Lehends, having taken the initiative and advanced a considerable distance, successfully rammed Ryze, and together with Nightmare who activated his ultimate shortly after, secured the kill.

I finally got a bounty kill.

This moment, which should have been joyous, vanished instantly with Lin Ruo's timely arrival.

Another rock spike, and Tazan, who had just killed Ryze and hadn't had time to retreat, was carried back and died the next second from Lin Ruo's massive damage.

Nightmare is at full health.

However, this does not affect the damage Lin Ruo's Taliyah deals at this moment.

Full health is the kill threshold.

The situation turned into a four-on-four battle, but GRF was undoubtedly the one who suffered the loss.

While trading Nocturne for Ryze is clearly a win for Nocturne, Kalista and Nocturne both lose their crucial initiation ultimates, making it harder for Galio to engage.

You have no ability to threaten me anymore.

With no more scruples, the EDG players naturally adopted an even more aggressive approach.

All four people gathered together and went uphill.

Lin Ruo controlled Taliyah to clear a path and block the high ground, leaving the entire GRF team helpless to retreat and watch EDG launch a major offensive to take down the bottom lane high ground and crystal.

They lost all their high ground just like that, falling victim to GRF's proactive attack. Ultimately, it was because their disadvantage was too great to overcome.

When you need to use two or three ultimate abilities and two or three people to kill the opponent's hero, while the opponent only needs one person to launch a counterattack.

The fact that the disadvantages are too great is something that needs no further explanation.

GRF may still naively believe that EDG will try to create space in order to take down Baron and continue their push.

However, EDG's real strategy was to group up all five players and push the mid-lane high ground after they finished replenishing their base.

This is telling GRF that their advantage is so great that they don't need the Baron buff to push forward.

"Ah, EDG isn't even fighting Baron anymore. Logically speaking, the best course of action would be to steadily use their jungle advantage to reduce GRF's numbers before taking Baron, which would be the most stable way to end the game. But they didn't do that."

The Roaring Emperor's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Do EDG look down on them?
However, in his view, EDG's actions clearly gave GRF a clear opportunity to turn the tide.

Taking the initiative to engage in team fights at this point is definitely better than being held back by vision control and Baron Nashor, leaving you powerless to do anything about it.

However, it's clear that they didn't have much power to exert, given the significant gap in economic status and social standing.

"Let's fight. We have no way out. Let's show the courage for our last battle. There's no use in just defending without attacking now. If EDG goes back to take Baron, the situation will only get worse."

The Roaring Emperor roared in the commentary booth at the end.

If GRF still wants to die standing, or even to fight for that last sliver of a chance to turn the tide, then they have to fight now.

Instead of waiting for EDG to make a move and then being worn down and killed.

As professional players, the members of GRF naturally knew that if they didn't make this move now, they might not be able to make it later.

If EDG takes down the high ground and enters the jungle, gets the minion waves going, and establishes vision control, then it will be an absolute horror game for them.

Therefore, we must open it at this time; we cannot be afraid or hold back in any way.

But once it's turned on, it looks like it's going to explode again.

As I said before, GRF can't possibly control that much.

Just as the mid-lane high ground was breached, Sword Emperor, as the front-line tank, took the lead and charged forward. GRF was ready to fight to the death, and Nightmare activated his ultimate to unleash the darkness.

It was at this moment that the Sword Emperor once again demonstrated his potential as a traitor.

He bravely dodged Thresh's Q skill, but failed to dodge Lin Ruo's predicted rock spike.

And so, this plot unfolded.

As soon as Nightmare unleashed its power, Urgot was surrounded and attacked by EDG, losing most of his health in no time.

If it weren't for the Stoneplate Armor and Flash to create distance at the end, Sword Emperor would have almost achieved another great feat, dying 2.0.

However, this still resulted in a look of astonishment appearing on Tazan's face the moment the night ended.

it means.

Wasn't I trying to confuse the enemy's vision? So why was it our front-line tank Urgot who got badly damaged during this time?

and also.

Why did my resurrection armor disappear?

Tazan, turning his head, was shocked to find that just as Varus's ultimate ability landed, he was suddenly forced out of his Guardian Angel.

In other words, during the time he was flying, he was hit by maximum damage and lost all his health.

Wait, is it really that exaggerated?
Tazan really wanted to see a replay of how he landed and died.

This obviously had to wait until after the match ended, but the Chinese and Korean commentators on stage could see it clearly.

Anyway, that's how it is, and then that...

Well, to put it more simply...

Nightmare was blocked by Thresh's ultimate ability, Earthshaker, on his way there. Then Lin Ruo laid down a path of stone slabs and fired stone projectiles. Finally, he was hit by Varus's E and Q at close range.

Nightmare landed and immediately lost his precious resurrection armor.

It's basically a chaotic barrage of skills, but the damage from each attack is so high that Nightmare's small frame can't stop them at all.

Since Nightmare I failed to achieve any effect, Chovy Galio, who entered the fray next, was somewhat at a loss.

He not only failed to hit anyone, but he also failed to force anyone to dodge.

After all, Nightmare was eliminated as soon as he landed, failing to perform any function and giving EDG the opportunity to retreat from the offensive zone.

Therefore, Galio's fall should also be like firing a blank shot.

Compared to Nightmare, who dies immediately after resurrection, Chovy's survival time is obviously longer, after all, he is a relatively tanky Galio.

With his W skill activated to increase his tankiness, he managed to withstand EDG's onslaught, and then used E and Flash to successfully retreat.

However, Thresh's Flash followed by the previous hook completely ended any possibility of escape.

Chovy reacted incredibly quickly, using Zhonya's Hourglass to dodge the hook, but the situation was tantamount to death. In summary, GRF's initiation strategy was a guaranteed death for whoever initiated.

The bottom lane duo was the only ones who managed to survive because they failed to engage in the team fight.

Viper's Kalista relentlessly chipped away at Aatrox's health all the way to the bottom.

Lehends also wanted to go up and deal damage, but he was afraid that if he went up and got hit by a low-health Aatrox, he might instantly heal the enemy back to health.

He was right.

Even without the lifesteal, the Aatrox at least managed to trigger his ultimate's passive resurrection ability.

However, killing the sword demon at the front is clearly not enough, because he also has a genuine resurrection armor that can be bought from the store.

Kalista shaved for so long, even shaving Aatrox until he was covered in hair, and all she managed to get was the first Guardian Angel.

On the other side of the battlefield, not only was the first resurrection armor destroyed, but even the second one was taken down.

EDG achieved an absolute and overwhelming victory in the main battle.

GRF couldn't stop them even a little bit.

As it turned out, EDG's decision to push forward even without taking Baron was absolutely correct, because no matter what offensive method they used, GRF would only be helpless and forced to surrender.

The moment the crystal of the mid-lane high ground exploded, Kalista was forced back to the fountain.

The remaining South Korean spectators inside the Gwangju Women's Gymnasium wore expressions of utter indifference.

They still didn't get to see it.

Even if GRF manages to gain a slight advantage and turn the tide from a slight disadvantage, it will at least offer them a sliver of solace.

No, none of these.

GRF was terrified that their fans and viewers might have even the slightest hope, so they chose to be completely crushed from start to finish in all three games, a crushing defeat with absolutely no chance of fighting back.

Now, it's too late to leave.

They must witness EDG destroy GRF's Nexus for the third time.

Along with the accompanying shouts, as if they were at a home stadium, the few EDG fans who came to the scene screamed excitedly, which sounded like jarring noise to the silent Korean fans.

Looking up at the big screen again, the sight of the blue team being pushed aside was even more heartbreaking.

"Ugh, still can't do it? Lin Ruo has already become a god, the game is about to end."

"GRF, on whom we had high hopes, ultimately failed to upset the defending champion EDG and was crushed without any suspense."

In the LCK commentary box.

The Roaring Emperor was already in tears; he was too broken to say anything more.

Even if they didn't expect to beat EDG, they really shouldn't have lost so badly; they showed absolutely no hope throughout the entire match.

This was clearly the first time in all his years as a commentator that the Roaring Emperor felt like a failure.

Therefore, some things could only be said by the young LCK commentators next to them.

"It's a pity that this year's S-series finals will be the first time without any Korean teams participating since the S2 World Championship, and it will also be the first time that it will be an all-LPL finals."

"Because it is being held in our home country of South Korea, this is bound to be unacceptable."

The narrator's sorrowful voice faded away.

The Korean viewers in the live stream were momentarily speechless.

They can only remain silent.

Silently watching the countless cheers for EDG erupt from the stadium, which was clearly Korea's home ground.

And then the LPL commentators' incomprehensible screams erupted in a dramatic burst.

"3-0, I could do that too! Congratulations to EDG for reaching the World Championship finals twice in two years! This year's champion belongs to the LPL!"

Miller straightened his back.

Meanwhile, the baby next to him was in tears: "Brothers, it's not about me popping champagne today, it's just that this is the absolute truth, we are the champions, we really are the champions!"

Is the championship decided after the semifinals? The champagne has already been poured into the Pacific Ocean.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The finals are supposed to be an LPL internal battle, so if we're not the champions, who should be? It doesn't feel out of place at all.

[Holy crap, they secured the championship in the semifinals! Haha, so this is what it felt like to have an all-Korean final? This is awesome!]

The viewership for the finals in Korea will probably be terrible. Let's see how many Koreans are willing to watch the LPL Autumn Season.

[Sigh, GRF is so pathetic, but why do I feel like laughing whenever I think about it and picture the way the West African audience is eating shit?]

[Laugh if you want to. Just look at how the Korean media marketed GRF's victory over EDG before the match, and you'll laugh even harder.]

[Before the match, South Korean media heavily promoted it nationwide, hoping all South Korean viewers would come to watch this semi-final. Well, just as they wished, they suffered a complete humiliation.]

[Let me give my honest assessment of GRF's performance in these three games. To be honest, they were really inferior to VIT, haha. It's all EDG's fault for being too ruthless.]

...

As LPL viewers were ecstatic, all the cameras on stage focused on the players' seats in the center as the match ended.

Lin Ruo, who was being wildly praised by the Korean commentators for dominating them in every game, simply calmly took a sip of water.

Amidst the painful sounds of defeat, when Lin Ruo's image appeared on the big screen, almost all the South Korean viewers watching the final felt a genuine sense of fear.

Where did this League of Legends player come from? He almost single-handedly overthrew the LCK's dominance starting last year.

Moreover, this person currently seems far from having any chance of declining.

Is this the world's best jungler right now? Yeah, he was also the world's best ADC last year.

"Lin Ruo, he built a dynasty for the LPL, but at the same time destroyed our LCK. When will this player finally show his weakness?"

The Roaring Emperor spoke again, feeling a mix of emotions: emotion, shock, and utter bewilderment.

This is even more legendary and terrifying than Faker, the Demon King who suddenly appeared out of nowhere back then.

He couldn't figure it out.

He can't help but hope that this player will win more championships in the future.

As for GRF, these young players also have a future.

The Roaring Emperor could only sigh softly, "Thank you all for your hard work, fellow LCK viewers. See you at Worlds next year."

At this moment, the GRF players sitting in the stands were not only confused but also covered in sweat. Although they were thoroughly defeated 3-0, it would be unreasonable to say that they did not put in any effort or work hard.

At the same time, they will not be losers.

They are the winners; they only lost to the more successful EDG.

As a group of top players who are just starting out, they have no reason to have a mental breakdown just because they reached the semi-finals of the World Championship.

Now that the competition is over, we should just pick up what we need to pick up.

After readjusting, the GRF members quickly straightened their backs and shook hands with the entire EDG team who came from the other side.

EDG is the winner, but those who jumped three times are the winners below EDG.
