LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 65: Fighting against OMG
February 2, Central Plaza.

Overcrowded.

Good afternoon, everyone watching the live stream and at the event! Welcome to the second week of the 2017 LPL Spring Split. Today we'll be featuring a key matchup in Group A: EDG vs. OMG.

"I am the commentator, Long Hair."

"I'm commentator Guan Zeyuan."

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan smiled and said, "Honestly, I'm really looking forward to today's bottom lane matchup. Smlz and Lin Ruo, one is a top ADC in the LPL, and the other is a rising star who's been making a lot of noise lately. The bottom lane will definitely be something to watch."

"Yes, there were some small disturbances yesterday. I wonder what Lin Ruo's mentality is like." The commentator Changmao smiled and grabbed the hot topic right away.

Guan Zeyuan waved his hand and said, "Then don't worry. I think Lin Ruo has the best mentality than anyone else, and it seems he hasn't suffered any loss."

The two of them were talking with great enthusiasm, but they stopped talking at the right time.

This is the live broadcast room of a certain Yu Deyunse.

Bald Xiaoxiao and Fatty Xika squeezed in front of the computer and were also watching the game.

"The game is about to start, why haven't you started broadcasting yet? The fans are all waiting." Xika said anxiously.

Xiaoxiao scratched his bald head and lit a cigarette: "Oh, you don't know, last night when I came back to broadcast, the live broadcast room was all messed up by pigs, I need to take a break."

Upon hearing this, Xika couldn't help but gloat: "Why would you mess with that Lin Ruo for no reason? He's playing well right now, and the EDG fans will definitely protect him."

"I just wanted to say something fair for Zhu Kai and ask him to apologize, but who knew..." Xiaoxiao wanted to say something but stopped herself, feeling as uncomfortable as if she had eaten shit.

"Don't be ridiculous. Zhu Kai and you are not familiar with each other. You just want to take advantage of his popularity, but you end up smelling shit and not getting there."

"He also said on the live broadcast that I ate duck neck, why can't I say a word?" Xiaoxiao said unconvinced.

Xica, who knew her colleagues well, said disdainfully, "You got a female fan pregnant, and then you ignored her and ate duck necks in bed. Isn't that irresponsible? Everyone knows it. Honestly, how can I refute you?"

Xiaoxiao suddenly wilted.

"Stop talking nonsense and start the show quickly. Brother Ma is in today's match. Maybe he can help you teach that Lin Ruo a lesson, so you can avenge your previous shame."

"That's right, if we win we'll step on the top and face the bottom, and if we lose we'll play dead and take advantage of the black traffic."

After the two of them discussed it, they each showed a cunning smile.

As soon as the live broadcast started, EDG's pig army rushed in.

[Whoever is popular will be criticized, whoever is strong while the heat is on, you two are still the best. ]

[They're just two guys trying to get attention. EDG is nothing you can take advantage of.]

[Who would watch Deyunse? They can set the pace on the court without knowing the cause and effect.]

[Can you two, who retired a long time ago, please stop coming out and disgusting people?]

Seeing so many people criticizing him, the popularity of the live broadcast room was at least twice as high as usual, and Xiaoxiao, who had received so much traffic, could not suppress the smile.

In the EDG player seat at the game site, intensive BP work is underway.

After the first two bans, Nofe looked at the players and said, "Let's ban Maokai for the third one. The opponent's top laner Xiyang is very good at Maokai."

"Haven't we practiced against heroes that fight against trees? The training matches worked well, so why can't we use them?" Lin Ruo questioned.
"No, what are you afraid of, Nofe."

"Coach, I can handle the big tree." A Guang also said at this time.

"Okay, then I won't ban it." Nofe listened to the advice and changed to ban Jella in the third round.

The game entered the first round of Pick, and Guan Zeyuan was already looking forward to it. "The top three bans of both sides today are a bit unusual. All the strong heroes like LeBron James and Warwick were released. Should we each take one?" As soon as he finished speaking, EDG chose to take Warwick first on the first floor.

Now it’s time for the red team OMG to select players.

In Deyunse's live broadcast room, Xiaoxiao became excited: "OMG, hurry up and grab LeBron James, LeBron James is really good at killing ADs, and Icon is also good at playing."

Xika nodded: "Enchantress plus big tree, Sunset is the king of trees, those who understand will understand."

OMG took down the tree on the first floor, but unexpectedly locked down the ice on the second floor.

Xiaoxiao's face darkened immediately: "No, OMG coach bought it, right? Why not take Leblanc? Why can't he take it? This version is so strong."

Seeing this, Xika immediately stopped them, fearing that his companion would continue to speak without restraint: "Actually, Maokai plus Frost can also work. This is OMG's familiar teamfighting system. This lineup focuses on stability."

"Yes, it's better to use a familiar system." Xiaoxiao walked down the stage and realized that he was a little too excited.

"Tree King is here. If you don't ban him, I'll take him. OMG, it's the same old tricks."

Guan Zeyuan joked on the commentary desk, "We often joke that EDG's top laner mainly plays Maokai, but in fact, in the 16 Summer Split, OMG took Maokai thirteen times. They are the best at it."

Changmao continued, "That's right. Since OMG has taken Ashe, EDG can take LeBlanc and pair it with Warwick. It's a very powerful mid-jungle combination."

"If we take Varus, it seems that EDG's first three picks were very good. It feels like we've already won half the battle." Guan Zeyuan activated the prophet attribute again.

Changmao quickly cast a spell to interrupt: "No, no, no, we still have to consider the options later."

"Hammer has already won half the game. What's wrong with Guan Zeyuan? It started so soon." The comment was a little biased towards EDG, and Xiaoxiao immediately became unhappy.

"The explanation must be fair and just, understand?"

"Oh, the commentator was just joking. Don't be so startled. You look like you've had a fever."

Xika couldn't stand it anymore. It seemed that Zhuza had made his companions drunk a lot yesterday, otherwise why would he be so angry.

As OMG locked down Ryze, the second round of bans began.

Both sides banned heroes in the auxiliary field at the same time.

Bounty Hunter, Lulu and Nami are all banned.

"If we play like this, the bottom lane will have to go hard against the support." Guan Zeyuan analyzed, and then saw OMG lock down Graves on the fourth floor.

"The farm has begun. OMG seems to need to defend mid and jungle to some extent. Facing LeBlanc and Warwick, there's really no way around it. Picking Mantis is too easy to mess with."

Changmao stared at the big screen: "Let's see EDG's last two moves."

On the fourth floor, Lin Ruo locked onto Tam and said, "Just take Alchemist. You won't suffer any loss in the top lane."

Tian Ye hesitated but couldn't help but ask, "Can you play top lane? If not, pick Poppy."

A Guang confidently decided, "Of course it will work. Alchemist will be able to defeat tanks easily. I'll just cut off the minion line like crazy. Maokai can't control me at all. I just want to make him uncomfortable. Just give him the lead."

Tian Ye pressed the confirm button, and EDG locked the Alchemist with one last move.

There were exclamations of surprise at the scene.

Guan Zeyuan said excitedly: "It's locked. EDG brought out Alchemist. They have studied it before. I am comfortable using Alchemist to deal with the Tree Rogue in the top lane."

"In that case, OMG's bottom lane will have to make corresponding changes."
