LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 186: Finals Eve, RNG Internal Chaos
RNG feels they have a great chance of defeating EDG in the finals and winning the championship.

Similarly, RNG fans feel the same way.

In the team fans’ chat room late at night, discussions about the finals remained high.

[Please bless me and win the championship. I will draw a signed photo in the comment section.]

[Face EDG again, are their chances of winning the championship high? I really don't want to be bullied by this pig again.]

It feels pretty big, mainly because Xiaogou isn't on the team right now. When Xiaogou was there, we couldn't beat EDG. Last year, before Xiaogou joined RNG, when wuxx was the main AD carry, we crushed EDG to win the championship. There's real hope for tomorrow.

As soon as this comment came out, it caused an uproar in the RNG super topic.

Many GSLs heard the news and joined the battle.

They were already filled with anger, especially after RNG's revenge by shutting out WE today. The forum was full of posts saying things like "Kaigou is harming RNG" and "Uzi is not as good as wuxx."

Unexpectedly, someone in Team Super League also had the audacity to put forward such a view. The GSL members could not tolerate this and immediately opened fire, criticizing the team for nearly a hundred floors.

[What do you mean by that? Are you saying that Xiaogou is holding RNG back?]

[So disgusting, you're a Lao Hu fan, right? You're always in bad shape when Xiaohu is on the team, and you get swollen when Xiaohu is not around. I now suspect your master is a pure actor.]

[It's true. Xiaohu has played the role of a puppy so many times that it makes me sick.]

[Humph, without Uzi, RNG wouldn't even be the third place in the Spring Split.]

[It's funny. We used to have Xiaohu as the carry in RNG, but why can't he be the carry now that someone has come? What's the reason? I don't know what's going on.]

We were already champions before Uzi came. I'd like to advise some Uzi fans not to put themselves above the team.

The two sides quarreled fiercely for a while.

The administrator was so scared that he closed the super topic, prohibited people from speaking, and opened a separate post without comments to reprimand those who were stirring up trouble in the team. Only then did the storm subside.

But even so, GSLs don't buy it.

Because regardless of Uzi's importance in the team, an obvious fact is already in front of us. If RNG really succeeds in defeating EDG and winning the championship in tomorrow's German Cup final without Uzi leading the team.

In the days to come, Uzi will probably become the focus of daily ridicule from the haters.

Thinking of this, GSL couldn't accept it.

They all gathered together and flocked to a Weibo account to speak out.

[Please, we must defeat RNG. ]

Please don't let RNG win the championship. Thank you.

In a Changsha hotel, Lin Ruo, who was woken up, fell into deep thought as he looked at hundreds of private messages on Weibo.

Then there are so many fans.

He didn't think much about it and went to sleep.

……

6 month 3 day.

The game was scheduled for 17 p.m., so the EDG players got up early to train.

Having just defeated IG yesterday to advance, today is the non-stop finals. The team has no extra time to prepare and can only temporarily focus on studying the tactics to deal with and the key points of BP direction during the game.

Although this arrangement is unreasonable, the organizing committee has no choice as the summer season is approaching.

It is said that starting from next year, LPL will cancel the summer season's Demacia Cup and instead only maintain the more ample winter season to run the Demacia Cup.

So this is likely to be the last mid-season German Cup competition.

Time flies.

A morning of preparation passed.

At around 13: p.m., everyone finished their meal, packed up their equipment, got on a business car, and set off for the competition venue.

Today's game still starts with the factory manager, while Ai Loli, who is on vacation, is playing with her phone, browsing forums and eating melons.

Seeing the exciting part, Ai Loli was surprised and couldn't help but lean over to share:
"Fuck, Brother Lin, look at the real-time pre-match support rate on the official website. 80% vs. 20%. What the hell? We just won the MSI championship, and our popularity has already crushed RNG to this point?"

"Not really. During the Spring Split, RNG's support rate was slightly higher than ours."

Lin Ruo didn't quite believe it.

Just one MSI is not enough to make RNG fans turn against them en masse, and the opponents are not fans of championships.

It's impossible that Daguodian's ability to attract fans is so incredible that it has really broken through the circle and attracted fans outside the circle.

Lin Ruo, who was puzzled, suddenly thought of the hundreds of inexplicable private messages he received last night.

I opened my phone and took a closer look. Wow, the homepage was either RNG or Uzi’s personal topic.

Lin Ruo finally understood the reason.

It turns out that the reason why they were able to crush RNG in terms of support rate was because there was a large-scale split within the enemy and GSL collectively rebelled.

In order to protect their idol, GSL has also taken great pains.

As a true fan, he naturally has to do his best to beat up RNG and create a harmonious public opinion environment for his idol who is taking a break.

Now there's a real reason to win.

……

17 pm.

The German Cup final between EDG and RNG has arrived as scheduled.

Hunan International Convention and Exhibition Center was packed with people.

RNG lounge.

Uzi, who was resting due to a hand injury, also came to the game specially. His injury was not too serious, but he would definitely not be able to play in the early stage of the summer season.

Beside him, the club manager Quan Zhonghe was accompanying him, his face full of worry.

Since MSIEDG won the championship, he has been walking on thin ice, with both internal and external worries.

Now he has completely become a typical figure in the league circle who fails to recognize the great man.

There are even famous memes that are widely circulated.

"Thank you, Kwon Jung Hyuk!"

On the night EDG won the championship, the comment section of his Weibo homepage was filled with these six words.

Quan Zhonghe, who is surrounded by people in black and white, is very annoyed.

Therefore, he took this German Cup final particularly seriously. Whether he could defeat EDG, wash away the shame, and escape the constant internal and external online attacks depended on this moment.

At this time on the competition stage, after the opening ceremony, the players from both sides have taken their positions, and the Demacia Cup final has officially begun.

Both sides quickly entered the first round of BP.

"During the pre-match side selection, EDG was given priority to choose the blue side, while RNG was on standby on the red side."

"Yes, EDG came up and took out Gragas, Shen, and Syndra. In the recent Demacia Cup matches, Letme did take out Shen several times, so it's necessary to be on guard."

"So, on RNG's side, Galio, Lulu, and Kennen are all banned. Now let's see what each team's picks are."

In the commentary booth, Haier Brothers gave a very clear analysis.

EDG grabbed Lee Sin right away.

On the RNG side, Varus and Jyra.

"EDG picked up the Annie and Bard combination. If Lin Ruo wants to withstand the pressure, Meiko may have to start roaming. However, once their pushing ability improves, Annie will be free."

On the RNG player bench.

Firefox shook his head.

He really didn't expect this move of Bard.

Bard is a good support in laning phase and his roaming is also very conspicuous, so it will be very effective if he is selected.

"What are you doing with the jungler? Take the jungler first." Firefox came back to his senses and continued to give orders without panic.

"No, no, you can take the top lane first, Prince is good, I can cover the wheel mother who has no displacement." Letme interrupted.

Firefox thought for a moment and agreed.

RNG locked down the Prince on the third floor.

After the second ban, RNG just locked the spider for Mala Xiangguo on the fourth floor.

Facing the red team's fierce offensive, EDG successively locked down Taliyah and Fizz.

Continue to focus on flexible support.

With RNG's final move to secure the late-game Clockwork Lock, the lineups for both teams were finalized.

"Band/P is over. EDG is on the blue side. Top laner Fizz, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Taliyah, and the bottom lane duo is Annie and Bard."

"The red team, RNG, top lane Jarvan, jungle Elise, mid lane Clockwork, bottom lane duo Varus and Zyra."

"Both teams are ready. Let's move on to the first match of the Summer Demacia Cup Changsha BO5 finals."

As Miller finished speaking, the ten players on both sides quickly entered the game, and the fans at the scene roared and cheered at the top of their lungs.

The battles are evenly matched.

As soon as the game started, Scout Taliyah followed his teammates to the triangle grass in the bottom lane and crouched, his target fixed on the river grass.

For RNG, Varus and Zyra are both on the line.

"I'll go up and lead it."

Lin Ruo controlled the Wheel Mother and walked forward to determine the position of the RNG duo.

Xiao Ming and wuxx were both very cautious in their positioning and did not rush into the poke rashly.

Xiaohu also pinged the signal in the middle lane.

Indicates that the Rock Sparrow has disappeared.

"Don't squat there, it's useless. Come out and help remove the passive effects of the plants." Lin Ruo made a quick decision.

The bottom lane operation at level 1 was not a complete failure. At least the three people's attack consumed Jella's plant passive, alleviating the pressure that would be faced later in the laning phase.

"The plants' passives are gone, Zyra's slightly injured, wuxx... Hey, RNG's bottom lane is planning to help out, not just level one?"

Miller, watching the situation, was baffled.

A few fewer plants shouldn't affect the level 1 push.

"Since Mala Xiang Guo chose to start with blue buff, then in the early stages of this game we must help Letme in the top lane to open up the situation." Wawa said.

EDG still opened with blue in the upper half.

The prince who doesn't need help should start pushing the line first.

On the bottom lane, Lin Ruo controlled the line appropriately and did not push the line too deep.

There is no need for him to destroy the tower alone.

Besides, once Jella comes online, they shouldn't be able to push forward, so just focus on developing.

"Wait a moment, I'll come right over after I finish brushing."

After eating three wolves, Mala Xiangguo turned back to the blue zone and started to kill toads. His purpose was self-evident.

He wants to catch it at level three.

"RNG played an unexpected contrast. It looked like they were going to help me push the jungle to the top, but they were actually coming straight to the bottom jungle after clearing the jungle."

In this way, it is very reasonable to help open the line and lure the enemy into deep calculations.

"But here on EDG, Annie didn't push too deep. If she went a little past the middle line, she might not be easy to catch."

Wawa raised a question.

There was a possibility of failure in Mala Xiangguo's action, but fortunately, Lee Sin was clearing from the top and bottom, so there was no need to worry about the fall of the upper jungle area.

The risk of arresting people will be much smaller.

2 minutes 30 seconds.

The level 3 spider arrived at the explosive fruit on time and paid attention to the situation online.

Seeing that Bard was about to enter the river to gain vision, Mala Xiangguo knew that the opportunity was not to be missed and immediately jumped into the grass in the river on the explosive fruit.

A fake eye was stuck in the grass along the river in the field.

The spicy hotpot decisively threw out the cocoon.

"It was a hit, but Lin Ruo reacted very quickly, actively attacking to deplete his own health and prevent the RNG duo from advancing."

After breaking free from the restraints, Bard, who was hit by a set of skills, flashed to create distance, and with the help of the treatment and acceleration of the Wheel Mother, he opened a tunnel and escaped through the wall.
