LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 204 The Broiler Chicken's Weeping and Overjoyed Posture!
In the early stages of the first game, IG's mid and jungle players coordinated multiple times to gank Uzi's Kai'Sa in the bottom lane, helping JKL establish an advantage in the lane.

However, RNG gradually turned around the disadvantage they had fallen behind in the early game through their mid-game team fights.

The two players engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging blows back and forth, and the kill count continued to rise.

At 37 minutes and 07 seconds, Uzi, who is good at stealing farm, had already completed his full build: Ghostblade, Runaan's Hurricane, Mercurial Scimitar, Rapid Firecannon, Guardian Angel, and Berserker's Greaves.

JKL's Varus is still missing half a major item to complete a full Maw of Malmortius before he can build a full set of six items.

The damage difference between the ADCs made it very difficult for IG to fight in mid-to-late game team fights.

However, in their final battle in front of IG's inhibitor turret, RNG was caught off guard by IG's mid and jungle players, who managed to turn the tide and secure a narrow victory for IG, with the kill score tied at 17-17.

"IG fought so narrowly... but I still feel RNG will win!"

After analyzing the match situation, Meiko said seriously, "RNG's old tricks are insidious and deadly. The young IG is unlikely to last until the end."

Sure enough, after the second game, RNG won back a game. JKL was completely dominated by Uzi's Kai'Sa, and was simply being fed a piece of cake.

"Wow, Uzi plays Kai'Sa so well?"

iboy was sweating profusely.

Judging from the second game, Uzi's proficiency with Kai'Sa is almost on par with Wang Yao's!

Wang Yao remained calm in the face of this.

In his past life, Uzi made Kai'Sa his signature champion, second only to Vayne.

Of course, this also earned Uzi a new nickname for himself – the God of the Void.

In the third game, Uzi scored three goals, once again picking Kai'Sa. After a grueling 35-minute battle with IG, RNG took the lead and secured match point.

With a score of 2-1, RNG is now just one step away from the Spring Finals!
Uzi calmly took off his headphones while chewing gum and returned to the rest room with his teammates.

The on-site director focused the camera on the rest areas of RNG and IG respectively.

Inside the lounge, the coaches of both teams were using their short break to point out areas for improvement to their players.

Ning Wang sat on the sofa, listening blankly to Coach Jin Jingzhu's instructions. Rookie stared blankly and remained silent, seemingly slowly remembering the password to activate Chicken God Mode.

Soon, the fourth game began.

IG finally stopped being stubborn and chose to ban Uzi's Kai'Sa. The mid-jungle synergy between Rookie and Ning helped IG break through and succeed in the early game.

Rookie's Azir, transformed into the supreme emperor of Shurima, led his valiant warriors to shatter the defenses of Royal Never Give Up (RNG).

With 33 minutes and 37 seconds remaining in the match, IG defeated RNG with a score of 20-11, forcing the series into a do-or-die battle.

In this game, Rookie, with his Azir's 6/2/13 score, perfectly dictated the pace of the entire game for IG and won the MVP award.

In the IG lounge.

Rookie, the key player, sat on the sofa, having a heated discussion with coach Kim Jung-joo about the draft picks for the next game.

Sitting in the corner, JKL stared blankly at the coach with a dazed expression. As a newcomer, he didn't have much decision-making power in the team.

In the RNG lounge.

Uzi chewed gum, his chubby face flushed with excitement, showing little concern for the decisive moment of the next match.

RNG's bot lane holds a clear advantage in lane control, but the real deciding factor will be the battle between the mid and jungle players from both sides.

Twenty minutes later, the final battle of the night officially begins.

RNG first tricked IG in the draft phase by using Sion as a decoy to lure IG into picking Ornn as their fourth pick.

Immediately following up with a lock-on Alchemist, a masterful tactical maneuver caught IG's coach Kim Jung-soo off guard, who inwardly cried out in alarm, but it was too late. IG now had no choice but to bite the bullet and face the challenge head-on!
Ultimately, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

RNG team selected: Top lane Singed, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Sion, ADC Varus, and Support Braum.

IG team selected: Top lane Ornn, Jungle Trundle, Mid lane Cassiopeia, ADC Xayah, and Support Alistar.

From the start of the match, Mlxg's Sejuani took control of the game's tempo. By the 30-minute mark, IG and RNG had only managed one kill.

In the final team fight in front of the high ground tower, RNG crushed the trident IG with a devastating offensive.

Amidst the roars and shouts of commentator Wang Duoduo and the cheers of RNG fans at the scene, RNG pushed down IG's crystal base in one fell swoop.

The ultimate winner tonight is RNG!

After more than half a year, Uzi has returned to the LPL finals stage, where they will face their arch-rival EDG!

With a kill score of 12-1 throughout the match, RNG crushed IG and advanced to the Spring Finals!
Backstage, RNG coach Heart excitedly hugged and jumped around with his assistant coach, releasing his inner joy.

But on the esports stage, after shaking hands with the RNG members, Rookie couldn't hold back his tears and burst into sobs while tidying up his keyboard.

It was thought that IG, with their 18-game winning streak, would challenge EDG for the Spring Finals, but Royal Never Give Up (RNG) trampled them down and took the stage for the Spring Finals.

Even with a 19-game winning streak, what good is IG's elimination in the semifinals? Without winning the Spring Finals, IG won't be able to participate in this year's MSI league.

The S8 season is not even halfway over yet, so who can guarantee that IG can make it into the summer playoffs and get a ticket to the S8 World Championship?

Seeing Rookie break down in tears on the players' bench, Rita in the studio was also deeply moved.

But that's the cruel reality of esports; only the stronger winners shine under the spotlight.

RNG's top laner, Zz1tai, looked towards the IG players' bench for a while before walking over to comfort Rookie.

After all, competition comes first, friendship second. It's okay if you get beaten to tears, but don't blame me!

Besides, Zz1tai was IG's former star player. Seeing Rookie cry from disgust at his Alchemist made him feel a little smug, but also a little embarrassed.

After the post-match interviews concluded, host Ren Dong read aloud the announcement for the S8 LPL Spring Finals to the camera:

"Alright, fellow LPL viewers, tonight's match between RNG and IG has come to an end. Congratulations to RNG for advancing to the Spring Finals."

"On April 28th, RNG and EDG players will engage in their ultimate battle at the Chengdu Grand Cube Performing Arts Center!"

"See you there!"

The LPL Spring Finals of Season 8 are once again the highly anticipated battle between Pig and Dog, which has been eagerly awaited by millions of League of Legends viewers!

EDG fans and RNG players, both known for their tough talk, exchanged harsh words before the match, adding even more buzz and attention to the upcoming Spring Finals.

For EDG fans, with EDG achieving a 19-game winning streak in the regular season, winning the S8 Spring Championship is a must.

Otherwise, the pro-Emperor fans, who are good at stirring up trouble, will definitely use the "19-game winning streak and runner-up finish" scandal to launch a frenzied attack and smear campaign against EDG.

Moreover, the factory manager is quite old; he can't handle such a shock.

If EDG loses the Spring Finals, Clearlove will probably be bombarded with criticism from RNG fans until he's mentally broken and has to use the S7 championship trophy as a way to shed tears.

For RNG fans, the Spring Finals match is crucial to whether Royal Club can aim for the MSI championship and whether Uzi can break the curse of never winning a title in his career.

Last year, Wang Yao's miraculous comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2 in the Summer Finals not only broke the hearts of countless RNG fans, but also kept Uzi up at night on several occasions.

After so many runner-up finishes, it's time for Xiaogou to finally win a championship trophy! Even just an LPL Spring Finals trophy would be great!
