Chapter 13 "Savior" or "Just a Pig"?
Looking at Lin Mo, Abu's expression was very complicated.
If I had known it would end like this, I would have preferred to have Lin Mo go first.
He couldn't understand why Lin Mo played like a bot in the last game and won so easily.
In this game, EDG was almost completely dominated.
This match is so damn weird!
In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan said with a strange expression, "Congratulations to RNG for taking a point. RNG now leads EDG 2-1 and has reached match point."
"In the second game, EDG played exceptionally well, completely overwhelming RNG. However, in this game, after EDG made roster changes, they were instead crushed by RNG..."
"This reminds me of Mo again. Could he really be EDG's lucky charm?"
Rita's beautiful eyes flickered: "It does seem to have some merit. I even suspect that Mo has some kind of mystical power."
The two commentators kept talking.
Meanwhile, the official live stream chat was filled with question marks.
"???"
"????"
"I don't understand."
"Why? Mo can win even when he's so bad, how come he loses so badly when A-Guang comes along?"
"Ah Guang doesn't seem that bad, what's going on?"
"Ah Guang may not seem bad, but he's actually been captured and killed several times. Mo may seem bad, but he's really good at escaping."
"It feels so strange, like the EDG players have suddenly become terrible."
"Maybe we should switch to Mo instead..."
"Brothers, wake up! Mo just got lucky; his teammates got an advantage and he won without any help. If they let him play next game, EDG will probably lose even worse than this one."
"Since we're going to lose anyway, we might as well let Mo pull off a live show."
"..."
While everyone was discussing, the players from both teams returned to the rest room.
In the EDG rest room, A-Guang entered with a blank expression, looking as if he had lost his soul.
He couldn't understand why he lost so badly in every game he played, while Mo could win so easily by just casually playing around.
I've already tried my best!
I was clearly playing much better than him!
Why!
He didn't understand.
When A-Guang saw his appearance, it made A-Bu frown even more.
Before the team members could speak, Abu spoke first: "I've thought about it, and I think we should let Lin Mo play in the next round. I feel like A Guang is having some mental issues, so let him rest for a while."
Upon hearing this, no one answered; they simply nodded silently.
After all, EDG is now on the verge of elimination. Losing another game would mean losing their ticket to the finals, and everyone is worried.
Seeing this, Abu looked at Lin Mo and asked, "Are you confident?"
"Yes!" Lin Mo answered without hesitation.
"That's good. Don't let me down." Abu stood on tiptoe, patted Lin Mo's shoulder, and said, "I'll go submit the replacement request again."
After Abu left, the factory manager sighed, "Sigh, I felt like the draft was tricked last game. I shouldn't have picked Ivern."
Ah Guang shook his head: "I also have a problem. I shouldn't have kept exchanging blood with Xiao Yu..."
Scout: "I also had problems. I got camped and killed several times. It really disrupted my rhythm."
Everyone chimed in, analyzing the reasons for their loss in the previous game.
It wasn't until Abu returned that everyone began a more in-depth discussion.
Of course, Lin Mo did not participate.
Soon, the ten-minute halftime break came to an end.
Guan Zeyuan's voice came from the commentary booth again: "Welcome back. This is the 2017 LPL Spring Split semifinals. RNG is currently leading EDG 2-1."
"And we just received news that EDG has once again made a substitution in the upcoming crucial match."
Rita: "Yes, Mo, this newcomer, will be back on stage. I'm already looking forward to seeing what kind of amazing performance he will bring us."
Upon hearing the news, the viewers in the live stream couldn't sit still any longer.
A bunch of question marks appeared in the comments again.
"?"
"No way, what is EDG doing? Are they just changing players every game?"
"To be honest, although Mo won when he came up earlier, I still think A-Guang is much better than him."
"You thought he could win just because he won the last game?"
"I think EDG has lost their minds after such a loss; this was a do-or-die game!"
"Did EDG treat this slacker like their savior?"
"A savior? He's more like a pig."
"RNG's grin is practically splitting off their sleeves."
"If EDG wins this game, I'll eat shit while doing a handstand."
"RNG's ticket to the finals is secured."
"The ultimate slacker is here! Quickly call the group members to watch the match! Otherwise, we'll miss the best part to watch while eating!"
"..."
The topic has sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Meanwhile, in the RNG rest room, everyone was discussing the same thing.
Just before going on stage, Spicy Hot Pot asked, "Brother Feng, Mo's been substituted in again. What do we say for the next round?"
Hearing this, Firefox scoffed, "Heh, I told you long ago, the same strategy can only be used once. Since he dared to bring Mo up, then you guys should play normally next game, or use Mo as a breakthrough point and try to take down EDG directly next game so we can go home early!"
"clear!"
"Understand!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After their resounding victory in the previous game, their morale was high, but it didn't matter whether Mo or Mouse played for EDG.
In short, just do it!
Soon, both teams returned to the stage and entered the battle arena.
The RNG players kept glancing at EDG, their eyes sweeping over Lin Mo.
Lin Mo noticed their actions and waved in response with a smile.
Seeing Lin Mo's actions, Mala Xiangguo's lips twitched, and he said, "Brothers, I think that Mo is a bit arrogant, even provoking us."
Letme sneered, "They tricked me in one game, and he got all cocky. This time I'm playing seriously. If I don't beat them to a pulp, I'll change my name!"
"No problem," Mala Xiangguo nodded. "When the time comes, Xiao Hu and I will come together and take him down. We'll make sure he can't even stay in the game anymore!"
"I have no objection!" Little Tiger bared his teeth, revealing an evil smile.
The rookie was so comfortable in the previous game, now it's time to let him know how deep the waters are in the LPL.
Let him know that experience counts!
Once both players were ready, the referee announced the start of the match.
The fourth game has begun with the draft phase!
In this game, EDG chose the blue side, while RNG was on the red side.
EDG had the first ban privilege and banned Galio directly.
RNG followed suit, banning Ryze. After hesitating for two seconds, they banned another unexpected champion.
boom!
On the big screen, a huge stone head was locked in a small dark room.
"Huh? Malphite?" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in surprise, "RNG actually banned Malphite? That really shows Mo a lot of respect!"
The audience erupted in uproar.
This scene left not only the audience bewildered, but even Abu was stunned.
He couldn't even guess what RNG was thinking.
Regardless, EDG still managed to secure Taliyah on the first floor.
RNG opted to start with the Lulu and Ashe duo.
In the second round of bans, EDG chose to ban Galio and Fizz.
RNG chose to ban Spider and Treant Protector.
Abu was completely dumbfounded.
Why is RNG targeting a newcomer like this?
He was puzzled.
So he walked up behind Lin Mo and asked, "Lin Mo, the Stone Golem and the Tree are gone, do you want to play anything? How about Sion?"
Lin Mo stared at the screen, his mind racing.
Sion is a large and somewhat clumsy champion, making him quite difficult to play.
To ensure you can safely gain experience while avoiding death and putting pressure on your teammates, there's an even better option – one of the top lane five-man team!
"Coach, can I have Garen?" Lin Mo blurted out.
"Huh?" Abu's eyes widened suddenly.
The factory manager, Scout, Meiko, and Zet all turned to look at him at once.
