LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 277 Global Shock, GSL Doomsday! Amidst Wailing and Howling, the Entire Internet is Purged! The Top Four List is Announced.

The sound waves rose up from the ground inside the stadium, seemingly trying to overturn the entire stadium.

Its deafening roar was like a bolt from the blue for everyone, striking thousands of spectators like a thunderbolt from the blue.

They were completely stunned!
Upon seeing the enormous failure button on the big screen, audiences from all over the world stared wide-eyed, frozen in shock.

RNG actually lost?

They were eliminated by the third seed from Europe, G2.

RNG, who were highly anticipated by many viewers, once again fell short in the quarterfinals.

Countless GSL players were stunned, some even finding it hard to believe, constantly rubbing their eyes, hoping it was all just their imagination.

But it felt like a long time had passed, like waking up from a dream.

The cheers from the European and American audience, the explosive and frantic scrolling of comments from various regions, Perkz's big smile on stage, and the flushed faces of the five RNG players.

All of this tells them that RNG's elimination in the quarterfinals is a fact!

In an instant, several European and American commentators in the commentary booths were so excited that they started waving their arms and legs. They swore that this was the most exciting day they had ever had in all the years they had commentated on the games!
"My God! G2! G2 won! They defeated RNG, the second seed from the LPL!"

"It's unbelievable! Everyone says that RNG is the uncrowned king this year and the strongest contender for the World Championship title, but so what? We, G2, are not afraid at all and hope to defeat them!"

"The strong, G2 beats the strong!"

"We can always trust G2, we can always trust Perkz!"

"Who says the European region can only stay in the quarterfinals! Let's congratulate G2! They've made history, they've told the world that from today onwards, the European region has risen!!"

The roars of several European commentators echoed from their seats, reverberating throughout the stadium and the European match broadcast studio.

Many European viewers were so excited they were incoherent.

Just now, FNC, the number one seed from the European region, was brutally defeated by IG.

At that time, most viewers in the European region had already lost hope and confidence in this year's World Championship journey.

Yes.

Not only do other regions not have high hopes for G2, but even their local audience doesn't believe that G2 can beat RNG.

Before the match, there was even a saying that "not being defeated 3-0 would be considered a success."

But who would have thought that instead of a 3-0 victory, G2 would turn the tables and defeat RNG!

【Perkz——! Mid Number one! 】

G2 is awesome! Who says the European region will always be at the bottom?!

[World's best ADC? World's best shockwave, step forward!]

Let us welcome the greatest priest, Perkz!

Oh my god! I love Easy so much! He's inhuman; he actually predicted this would happen before the competition even started!

...

The live stream chat for the European region matches was flooded with comments almost non-stop.

Today is arguably the most memorable day for the European region, a day they will always remember!
Even if the European region ceases to exist in the future, they will always remember this day.

The dark horse from the LPL was defeated by their third seed from the European region.

This is such an exciting thing.

Inside the venue, a sky full of starlight appeared—glow sticks held up by G2 fans.

They were waving their hands and shouting G2 and Perkz.

The voice was as loud as a bell, once again stimulating the eardrums of countless GSLs. Some GSLs felt a lump in their throats, and crystal clear tears welled up in their eyes.

At this very moment, there are still Korean commentators in the LCK commentary booth.

Every Korean was grinning from ear to ear, considering that before the match they also thought RNG was a formidable opponent.

Perhaps KT will face RNG in the finals.

But who knew that before they could even make a move, RNG had already fallen.

Moreover, since G2 was able to eliminate RNG, they might be able to eliminate EDG tomorrow against TL, or even in the semifinals.

More importantly, countless Koreans have had enough of the arrogant attitude of some LPL viewers!
[Hahaha! Base zone! Hybrid zone, just trash, can't even beat those European and American losers!]

[That feels good! Khan's Bible is getting stronger; five Chinese players simply can't win the game!]

Indeed, the Asian Games were simply a case of our region being careless!

[Five Chinese players are useless. IG relied on our Korean duo, didn't they? EDG is this strong without Imp? What does this prove? It shows that our LCK region is the best!]

[Hybrid region, kneel down! Stop barking like dogs in our LCK! Without our LCK players, your hybrid region is destined to be a quarterfinalist forever!]

[Hahaha, I burst out laughing! Today is the happiest day ever. Five Chinese people are nothing but worms. In gaming and esports, we are the ancestors of all you noobs in the LPL!]

[Winning the Asian Games is something to be proud of? Five Chinese players have won several times already, it's driving you crazy! They don't even count an exhibition match in the total medal count.]

...

The LCK forums erupted in heated discussions, which made many LPL viewers who were lurking on Korean websites blush with anger, and some even felt ashamed.

Since he didn't know how to refute it, he could only curse RNG as trash and then flee in panic.

At this moment, on the competition bench.

The G2 members were jumping around excitedly, their faces flushed and contorted with excitement.

"Nice!"

“Awesome!!!”

"Fuck you! Who said we can't beat RNG! Who said that!"

Perkz and his teammates were incredibly excited; they never imagined they would defeat RNG and advance to the quarterfinals.

It truly shattered their own perceptions.

Thinking about this, Perkz really wanted to thank Chu Ran. It was probably because Chu Ran cast a spell off the field that they were able to defeat RNG.

Why do you say that.

The reason they were able to beat RNG today is not only because their strength and form were both at their best.

And then there's RNG, who seemed possessed by a demon and made those laughable, criminal plays!

He peered into the grass, then walked across the high ground.

Just thinking about this made Perkz's lips curl into a terrifying smile!

Looking to the other side, you can see the RNG players slumped helplessly in their chairs, looking completely drained.

Letme's eyes were glazed over; he never imagined he would collapse here.

He has something to write about in his "On Letme".

But this wasn't the outcome he wanted; everyone dreams of winning.

However, Letme looked at his trembling hands, completely bewildered.

Who would have thought that he couldn't even beat G2's top laner Wonder today?

This made Letme start to question the meaning of life.

He feels that he is really not suited to playing professionally, and perhaps retiring after this year would be the best option for him.

As for Karsa next to him, he seemed to be lost in thought. This year, he left Flash Wolves and joined RNG. When RNG's manager, Sanshao, talked to him, he said that Karsa was the piece of their RNG championship puzzle.

What? RNG is only missing Karsa, their jungler, to win the championship.

At that time, Karsa still believed it, but the cruel reality dealt Karsa a severe blow.

Before joining RNG, he could at least dominate the LMS region, but after coming to the LPL, he became a nobody. He never expected to be eliminated by G2, whom they all looked down upon. This is simply unacceptable to Karsa.

The director gave him a close-up of his face, revealing a look of utter despair to all viewers.

Karsa glanced at Xiaohu beside her, wishing she could punch him and send him to the deepest level of hell.

What kind of top domestic mid laner is he? He felt that Xiaohu couldn't beat anyone, like Rooike and Chu Ran, but today he couldn't even beat Perkz. What is he if not a beast?

Xiao Hu seemed to sense Karsa's gaze, and the scene of arguing with Karsa backstage flashed through his mind, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Why did we lose?

Looking at the huge "failure" sign on the results screen, Xiaohu couldn't understand it. They all thought that beating G2 should be a piece of cake.

Before the match, I didn't know how to lose.

But now they've lost to G2, becoming the biggest laughing stock of this year's World Championship, even the two LCK teams that were eliminated in the round of 16 didn't cause such a sensation.

Before the match, RNG dominated a large portion of the internet's traffic. Now that they've lost, they're bound to suffer a backlash from that traffic.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hu felt the hairs on his body stand on end. He knew that after they stepped off the stage, they would likely face a long barrage of online attacks.

Or, starting now, their family tree is already being subjected to a lot of online abuse.

Xiao Hu shifted his position and realized that the temperature on his left side was too high, making his left arm feel burning hot.

Looking back, Uzi's chubby face was already red and purple, shining like a sun. He was biting his hand, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, seemingly looking at nothing.

If Uzi hadn't face-checked the bush with his Lucian that game, they wouldn't have lost to G2.

However, Uzi thought differently. He moved his mouse and frantically clicked on the information of his teammates on the results panel.

"Damn it! Why can't I click the report button?!"

Uzi was screaming in his heart that if he could, he would report all four of his stupid teammates. If it weren't for these idiots, they would have won 3-0 long ago.

Seeing this, Xiaoming was so angry at Uzi that he laughed. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

What could he do? He was desperate. He was just a support player, and his voice carried little weight in RNG.

For a moment, Xiaoming felt a little envious of Churan and Mlxg who left RNG. They could criticize without hesitation and never tolerated Uzi. They could live well after leaving RNG, but Xiaoming didn't have the courage to start over.

After losing so badly in the last year or two, it's uncertain whether he can find a job after leaving RNG.

The director's camera panned across the faces of the five men, and their grief-stricken expressions once again made countless viewers in the live stream burst into laughter. Various comedians and viewers who disliked GSL started howling.

[Haha, why are there five induction cookers on the RNG team's bench?! Are they not human?!]

[Speak up! GSL, why aren't you saying anything? Are you too excited to speak because G2 beat RNG?]

[6666! Brothers, let's raise our hands and congratulate G2! Shout "G2 is awesome!"]

【把劳资给笑闷了，《我们RNG只是大意了，让G2一局好不好！》、《没事，让第二局，多跟G2玩一会儿》、》《3比1跟3比0有什么区别啊？》、《3比2跟3比1有很大区别？你就说赢没赢？》.】、

[Not only that, there were also "If G2 can beat me, I'll eat a ton of food" and "If RNG loses, I'll beat them with a three-speed electric fan." All those GSLs who made those boastful claims, step forward! Do you only have mouths? You didn't keep your word?]

[Because they're all fans of the Shockwave, all they do is brag, they know nothing else, and when it actually starts, they're all idiots.]

[Hilarious! Classic! A classic example of his kind. He loved to brag, but he crumbled at the slightest provocation. He even managed to lose Game 2! Hahaha, pop the champagne! What a slap in the face!]

[Those useless shockwave players should just retire already. Are you even Chinese if you don't support RNG? Now there's no one left to support them, because RNG has been eliminated!]

[I laughed so hard I almost cried! GSL told you guys to talk nonsense, are you deaf, or do you not have keyboards?!]

Seeing the barrage of comments appearing everywhere, countless GSL players were so angry they felt like their insides were about to explode, but they didn't know what to say.

For them, everything before them felt like a dream, but they were unable to wake up.

fake.

all fake.

RNG has no chance of losing to G2.

But after slapping themselves several times, the scene remained the same as before, with many people cheering for G2, which made the majority of GSL fans feel extremely disheartened.

We really lost.

RNG, on whom they had placed high hopes, fell to G2. They had originally planned to aim for the championship this year, but now they are aiming for the quarterfinals.

In an instant, despair and suffocation surged through GSL's hearts, leaving them utterly powerless. Staring at the barrage of cleansing messages filling the screen, they could only erupt in helpless rage, only to be quickly crushed to the core.

[GSL still dares to shout? Go home with your masters!]

[Hahaha, GSL, you're nothing but lapdogs, you know that? I hereby declare you stripped of your citizenship. From today onwards, the LPL will not tolerate any more GSL members.]

[I aimed for Season 3, then Season 4, all the way to Season 8, and now I'm aiming for Season 9!]

[Year after year, pointing the sword, boasting a few times, Jian Zihao, the world's number one shockwave expert, step forward!]

At this moment, all the GSL players broke down, and they all became like rabid dogs, biting anyone they saw.

[Damn it, damn it, you bunch of bastards! RNG lost, and you're half responsible. It's all because you didn't support RNG that they lost!]

[Go to hell! I'm going to go and kill Ran, that bastard! Ran must have said something to G2 that's why RNG lost.]

[A rematch is necessary! It's unfair!]

[You beast, your entire family's ancestral graves have been dug up, why don't you just die?!]

[Ah, right, right, so you're starting to blame Chu Shen. You can always trust Chu Shen's judgment.]

【You know what, I completely forgot to apologize to God Chu. God Chu, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you!】

[I apologize, I repent, please don't hold me accountable, Chu Shen! Who could have imagined that RNG would actually lose to G2?]

On major domestic live streaming platforms, the barrage of comments is endless, with almost no room for pause.

A moment later, most people recovered from their shock. In the commentary booth, Miller and Guan Zeyuan remembered that the three of them had come to their senses after being stunned.

Looking at RNG and G2 shaking hands on stage, the three of them still had an incredulous and bewildered look in their eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, Guan Zeyuan spoke first: "Oh, this is really surprising. Nobody expected that RNG would fall in the quarterfinals today and lose to G2, the third seed from the European region. This is unbelievable."

"That's right. I believe many viewers, like us, are confused and shocked. But this is the reality now. What's done is done. All we can do is look forward to RNG's performance next year."

"Now let's give a round of applause to G2! Congratulations to G2 for successfully defeating RNG and advancing to the semifinals!"

After Miller finished speaking, Remember quickly chimed in, "Yes, there are no weak teams in this year's World Championship. That's the charm of esports, because you never know what will happen in the next second!"

"Just like before the match, most viewers favored RNG, but G2 didn't give up and fought until the very last moment, successfully defeating RNG!"

As the three of them finished speaking, the popularity of major domestic esports live streaming platforms soared even higher, with a constant stream of congratulatory messages for G2.

Of course, many more viewers came to mock RNG.

At this very moment, in the EDG backstage lounge.

Mingkai and the others were stunned for a long time before they finally looked away from the big screen, completely unable to believe it was true.

The next second, Mala Xiangguo suddenly realized what was happening and jumped up from the sofa excitedly, laughing with a flushed face: "Hahahaha, G2 won! Holy crap, that's great! Let's pop the champagne!"

His shout immediately woke Meiko and the others, and then exclamations echoed backstage.

"Holy crap, no way, RNG lost to G2? I never even dreamed this would happen." Meiko swallowed hard. "Damn, did Ran bribe RNG to throw another match?"

Hearing Meiko's words, Imp chimed in, "Some of your moves really do look like match-fixing to me, it's inhuman. Chu Shen, you're truly amazing, you're practically opening bets, aren't you?" "What are you talking about?"

Chu Ran rolled his eyes at everyone with disdain, "I have come to this conclusion from various aspects of analysis. RNG did not throw the match. They are just bad. Losing to G2 was an inevitable outcome."

"You think I'm Kai Ge, Director Nuo?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingkai glared at Chu Ran. "You little brat, what do you mean? What are you implying?"

"Hahaha, let's go, we've had our fun, time to go back and rest."

"Wait, God Chu, I need to post a Weibo first. Today is a good day."

At this point, Mala Xiangguo immediately picked up his phone and started editing. Before long, a Weibo post appeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, domestic forums like Weibo have already exploded, with major trending topics lists filled with heated discussions about the match between RNG and G2.

#G2 defeats RNG!#
#Major Upset! RNG Loses to G2 3-2!#
#The puppy is upside down!#
#The all-Chinese team that LPL had high hopes for fell short in the quarterfinals again!#

#RNG eliminated in the quarterfinals!#
#Xiaohu's second laugh, he laughed all the way to Season 9!#
Less than ten minutes had passed since the end of the match, but clicking on any trending topic yielded tens of thousands of comments, most of which were laughable remarks from netizens.

Today I'm choosing a Vayne skin, and it has to be the glowing one.

[I'm already aiming for the S8 championship trophy... oh, I misremembered, I'm aiming for S9.]

[The most promising year for an all-Chinese team.]

How do you play Lucian without face-checking bushes?

If G2 beats RNG, I'll jump off the third floor.

Amidst this heated discussion, everyone also saw the Weibo post about Mala Xiangguo (Spicy Hot Pot).

Weibo user EDG-Mlxg:

【Wait, I have a feeling this match was bet, @RNGOfficialEsportsClub, what do you mean? You guys can lose to G2?】

The moment the Weibo post about Mala Xiangguo was published, his comment section immediately exploded.

[66666! Teacher Guo went all out right in front of us!]

[No, no, we didn't buy them, it's just that RNG is too bad, hahaha.]

[Is it true that you have to destroy someone's spirit before you can kill them? But I say, please go all out!]

No, it's just that RNG realized aiming directly at S8 wasn't enough, so they quickly set their sights on S9.

Stop pointing! Pointing to the 12 marks on a clock isn't enough anymore.

[Damn it! You idiots! I'm waiting for the day EDG gets eliminated by TL!]

GSL is in complete disarray. Losing to G2 and being eliminated in the quarterfinals was already unacceptable to most GSL players, but now the jungler they always thought was a good waste of RNG's talent has not only won all the championships this year.

To kick someone when they're down at this time shows a complete lack of professional ethics.

Regardless of the circumstances, RNG is the team that Spicy Hot Pot (MLXG) used to play for, so why doesn't he feel any sense of belonging? Moreover, as an LPL team, he seems quite proud that he lost to Spicy Hot Pot.

Are all the members of EDG suddenly deceased? Are you guys from EDG happy that RNG lost?!

People like Guo and Ran deserve to be banned; it would be an injustice if they weren't. You know, if RNG doesn't win this time, who knows when we'll see another all-Chinese team win a championship.

[I'm seriously disgusted. The all-Chinese team was eliminated, and you bastards are so proud of it? Without RNG and Uzi, were you the ones who carried the all-Chinese team? You beasts from the hybrid and mercenary regions.]

However, Mala Xiangguo quickly replied to this comment.

Mlxg: [In which year did Uzi and RNG win the Asian Games gold medal?]

[Hahaha, Teacher Guo is awesome!]

[How dare you! You actually mock our great world's number one ADC, Jian "Uzi" Zihao! He's an eight-time world champion, what do you know?]

[GSL started claiming the Jakarta Asian Games had no value because it wasn't even a gold medal from any year. Then why didn't your dog win a gold medal? Was it because he didn't like it?]

In an instant, many GSLs were so angry they were practically fuming, but in the blink of an eye they could only become rats in a dark, stinking ditch, silently lurking and waiting for the next chance to come out.

However, after RNG was eliminated in the quarterfinals, the number of followers of the RNG official club and Uzi and others dropped at an extremely rapid pace.

They are extremely disappointed with RNG and have turned against them from today onwards.

At the same time, in the backstage lounge of RNG, Uzi and others returned and remained silent, even sitting separately, just as the saying goes—no one can walk out of the internet cafe alive after duo-queuing with their friends.

Even if they manage to leave, they still have to eat alone at a separate table.

This is how RNG is right now. After losing to G2, they had nothing to say and could only fall silent, then pack their bags and prepare to fly back to China overnight.

Seeing this scene, the manager, Third Young Master, really wanted to curse.

Let alone winning the championship this year, it's difficult to even make it to the finals. The three young masters can't even guarantee that they will still have a job next year, including Nofe, who was poached by a high salary this year.

Nofe is completely numb now. He came to RNG today not only to make money, but also to see if he can train another top team.

But in fact, he was overthinking it.

What kind of strong team is it to lose to the quarterfinals?

At that moment, Uzi was looking at the trending topics on the internet, and the rosy complexion on his chubby face never went down. The temperature in the rest room was also rising steadily, and it was Karsa who finally ignited it.

"Can you please turn the air conditioning down a bit? Can't you see how hot it is?"

No sooner had Karsa finished speaking than Uzi, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Karsa, veins bulging, his tone icy: "Hong Haoxuan, what the hell do you mean?"

"What do you mean by 'a few'? I asked them to turn the air conditioning down a bit, is that wrong?"

"Oh right, you did the right thing, you were just messing with me. I don't know how to play jungle, and when I told you to gank bot lane, what were you doing?" Uzi's tone suddenly rose, making Karsa's body tremble.

At this point, Karsa had something to say and immediately retorted angrily: "I might as well just wish you a bad day in the bot lane. Does playing ADC mean you have to hold the jungler hostage?" Karsa got angrier and angrier as he spoke.

He then pounded his fists furiously on the armrest of the sofa, his face contorted with rage. "Damn it, after all these years, can't you at least change your fighting style and mindset?!"

"If your jungler isn't in the bottom lane, you dare to push forward and get caught and killed by the enemy jungler. Then you blame your own jungler for not staying in the bottom lane to provide timely resources."

"The jungle skill gap is starting to show again, isn't it?"

In an instant, Uzi stood up from the sofa, glaring at Karsa with murderous intent, his nostrils flaring as he uttered a soul-searching question: "What the hell do you mean? Are you saying that losing today's match is entirely my fault?"

"Ha, this is really hilarious. You're a jungler and you're playing so badly, and you still won't admit it. You're still being stubborn. If you don't want to play, then get out. You're not good enough to be a jungler for RNG."

"If you don't want to play, there are plenty of others who can. We can just pull a few people from the secondary league, and we think they're better than everyone here. If you hadn't dragged me down, would we have lost this game today?"

"Will we lose?!"

"Top lane got solo killed by Wonder, mid lane was completely wrecked by P-man, and the jungler just kept 'rading' here, radar 'rading,' but your radar's malfunctioning, don't you know that?!"

"Answer me! Look in my eyes!"

Uzi was somewhat hysterical, unsure whether his words had stunned Karsa or whether his appearance was so frightening that Karsa was too afraid to speak.

Just then, Uzi heard his phone beeping, which made his pupils shrink sharply. He immediately roared, "That idiot! He posted that damn Weibo! This kind of person will ruin Chinese esports sooner or later. He seems very happy that our all-Chinese team eliminated him. Is he even Chinese?!"

That being said, Uzi immediately picked up his phone to check Weibo. As soon as he opened it, he was greeted by the trending topic of their loss to G2. After reading a few comments, Uzi's chubby face became even more pronounced.

Upon seeing Chu Ran's Weibo post, Uzi's face turned a deep shade of liver. The floor backstage seemed a bit too hot to walk on, causing Uzi to jump up and scratch his head in frustration.

Weibo account EDG-Easy:

[@UziQAQ, don't be too sad, keep a positive attitude and prepare to aim for S9! I personally believe in you, good luck!]

"You beast, you'll get hit by a car sooner or later!"

boom!
After Uzi roared, a cracking sound came from the backstage area. Looking closely, his phone had once again fallen to the floor and shattered into pieces. Xiaohu quickly put his phone in his pocket, trembling slightly.

Less than a minute after Chu Ran posted this Weibo, many fans and enthusiasts had already gathered there. They had been waiting for this moment, having been lurking under Chu Ran's Weibo posts for a long time.

[Haha, I really envy Chu Shen, he has all sorts of awesome pictures!]

[Alright, alright, Shockwave, don't be angry. If we don't succeed this year, we can still aim for S9, S10, and keep aiming until League of Legends goes bankrupt.]

[When "Bathing Dog" (Jian Zihao) is 70 years old and still active in the professional esports scene, people will ask him every year, "Jian Zihao, when are you going to win a championship?" Shockwave will answer, "Soon, soon! This year, I'm already aiming for it."]

[I'm tired of laughing. Today, brothers, let's kill GSL together! Let's kill GSL until they never dare to show their faces again.]

Meanwhile, many GSLs lurking in the shadows didn't dare to speak up at all, and could only silently click to report, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Chu Ran's Weibo post had just attracted most of the attention when the post-match interviews surrounding Perkz had already begun.

Yu Shuang, dressed in a black lace dress, was smilingly communicating with Perkz in English. After a few simple questions, Yu Shuang changed the subject, "Okay, Perkz, you just mentioned that you didn't expect to beat RNG before the match."

"So what do you think was the main reason you were able to defeat RNG today?"

Perkz pondered for a few seconds, then revealed a very amusing smile and slowly said, "I think there are two reasons. The first is that EDG's mid laner Easy's pre-match prediction gave us a lot of confidence."

"The second thing is," Perkz paused for a moment, then said firmly, "the second thing is that RNG is too weak. They only have the strength to reach the quarterfinals, but everyone mistakenly thought they could win the championship."

When Perkz finished speaking, Yu Shuang's beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she quickly moved her feet away, frightened.

The scene and the live broadcast room were instantly in an uproar!
[6666! Ah P is great, no further explanation needed!]

[Damn it, you bastard! What are you pretending for? You only beat RNG once, so what? If you're so capable, go tell the officials that the previous BO5 doesn't count and demand a rematch with RNG. Let's see if Uzi will crush you!]

[You think you're so great? You think you're so strong? What the hell are you, runner-up?]

[They're getting anxious, GSL is getting anxious again. Perkz is the European Spring Split champion from last year, what championship does your dog have?]

Haha, lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!

During the interview, Perkz grinned, making many GSL fans want to punch him to death, while Uzi backstage was trembling with anger.

If he could, he would punch Perzk so hard he'd kneel on the ground and sing "Conquer".

"Okay." Yu Shuang calmed herself down a bit and asked again, "Then congratulations on making it to the semifinals. According to the bracket, which team are you more looking forward to playing against, EDG or TL?"

"EDG, but I hope TL can beat EDG."

Do you think Team Liquid (TL) can beat EDG?

Perkz nodded. "Before the match today, nobody thought we could beat RNG, but we still won. If TL really loses, then we will avenge them in the semifinals."

"Are you that confident?" Yu Shuang asked with a smile.

"Yes, because we beat RNG, and I believe we can beat EDG too."

"Is there anything you'd like to say to EDG?"

The next second, Perkz pondered for a few seconds, then said confidently, "The reason why your EDG has been so invincible this year is simply because you haven't encountered us!"

In an instant, his words caused a stir in major competitions around the world, and cheers immediately resounded once again.

Inside a private room at a restaurant, Chu Ran turned off her live stream on her phone and looked at the group-buying posts on Hupu and Kangba with a slight smile on her face. Meiko next to her immediately started muttering to herself.

"Oh no, let RNG show some of what G2 has to offer."

"They did manage to produce something, but what they did produce was G2's confidence."

"Tianye, if you can talk, then say more." Spicy Hotpot gave Meiko a thumbs up. "Actually, it's not just G2 that's showing confidence, even TL and 100 who are playing tomorrow have become confident."

"You guys use Weibo, right?"

Upon hearing Spicy Hot Pot's words, they both checked Weibo and found that 100 and TL, who had recently opened Weibo accounts, had posted their latest Weibo updates, congratulating G2 and expressing strong confidence in tomorrow's match.

Their confidence also influenced every viewer in the North American region.

Since G2 was able to defeat RNG, they also have a chance to defeat KT and EDG in the North American region!

After all, in the minds of many North American viewers, the European region has always been inferior to their North American region. If G2 can win, why can't they?

Many GSL fans seemed to have found a new outlet for their frustration, directly impersonating TL fans and cheering for TL, hoping that TL could eliminate EDG tomorrow as well.

A lose-lose situation is better than a win-lose situation!

However, the next day, the North American region and many of EDG's haters suddenly fell silent.

Inside the enormous stadium, the deafening cheers wildly stimulated the nerve endings of the audience around the world, leaving everyone wide-eyed and dumbfounded.

On the LPL commentary desk, Wang Duoduo was raising his hands in overwhelming excitement, his face flushed with astonishment, and his voice booming like thunder.

"My goodness! Congratulations to EDG! They didn't repeat RNG's mistake yesterday and successfully defeated TL with a score of 3-0. The entire BO5 match, including the break time, only lasted an hour and a half!"

"This is our LPL's number one seed! EDG has once again proven that in the face of absolute strength, there is no such thing as an upset!"

Rita, standing next to her, quickly chimed in, "That's right! EDG once again demonstrated their terrifying strength in today's BO5, especially their two carries, Chu Shen and Imp, who combined for over 50 kills across the three games."

"My God! What incredibly shocking data!"

"Yes." The child next to him kept exclaiming, "Big Brother is crying. That's how esports is. This veteran who has been active in the professional arena still hasn't made a run for the trophy that symbolizes the top of the world. But let's still give him a round of applause, and give EDG a round of applause too!"

"Congratulations to EDG for successfully entering the semifinals. They are making a strong push for their second championship and second Grand Slam, and so far, no one has been able to stop them!"

The loud, clear voices of the commentators echoed in the commentary booth, finally relieving the anxiety of many EDG fans and LPL viewers, who were filled with praise.

After yesterday, they were worried that EDG would also suffer a major upset, losing to TL like RNG lost to G2.

But now, they don't need to worry anymore. EDG's performance in this BO5 series is enough to slap those haters in the face.

[Shut up! GSL, do you think EDG is like your trash RNG, capable of losing to European and American losers?]

The past is the past, the present is the present. If you're bad at it, just practice more, okay?

[Haha, GSL, go home and drink your milk. It seems like the RNG players went back to China overnight last night, and you're still barking like dogs here. Your masters have abandoned you.]

[This is ridiculous. GSL really knows how to fantasize, thinking that if RNG loses, EDG will lose too. Keep dreaming.]

It's worth noting that many LPL viewers felt that EDG's victory over TL was a foregone conclusion.

If RNG hadn't lost to G2 yesterday, today's match wouldn't have generated so much buzz. Many viewers were on edge while watching the game, fearing that EDG might make some huge mistakes.

However, there were no problems in this regard, and EDG, on whom they had placed high hopes, did not fall on the stage of the quarterfinals.

Seeing this result, many GSLs were very disappointed and slunk back to their stinking ditch in a fit of anger and dejection.

At this moment, the North American audience's faces fell instantly. Yesterday's confidence was completely gone, and everyone's heart was in their throats, knowing that they only had 100 left in the North American region.

If they lose, their best result in the North American region this year will be the quarterfinals.

How could this not make them nervous?

Just a moment later, they were no longer nervous, and their hearts were no longer in suspense.

Because he's completely dead!

"Oh! Congratulations to KT! They defeated Team 100 3-0 and easily advanced to the semifinals!"

"Congratulations to KT! They truly deserve to be called the strongest team in the LCK this year. They didn't face much pressure at all." Wang Duoduo exclaimed in amazement, "In that case, the four teams for the semifinals have been determined. At the beginning of the quarterfinals, everyone had high expectations for the European and American teams."

"But now only one team from the European and American regions has made it to the semifinals. Not only that, but two teams from our LPL have advanced to the semifinals again, and they're even in opposite halves of the bracket!"

"Therefore, it is very likely that our two LPL teams will meet in the finals this year!"

At this moment, Wang Duoduo's words reminded many LPL viewers, making them shudder, their eyes widen instantly, and their breathing become rapid.

If IG defeats KT, EDG will defeat G2.

Then they will meet in the finals at the home stadium of LCK!
In an instant, the fierce battle of this semi-final immediately ignited the LPL, attracting the attention of countless people!
