I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

Chapter 113 The youthful spirit was so inappropriately crushed.

RNG players' bench.

Uzbekistan was rubbing his fists together, his face glowing.

He couldn't wait to start today's game.

Uzbekistan has been waiting for this day for far too long.

He still remembers the humiliation he suffered during the regular season that day.

Before the match, Black, the mid-laner for Snake Esports, started a live stream and launched a so-called bounty mission. He caught and killed Black in both games and then thanked his fans for their sponsorship in the public chat.

This kept Uzb from getting over the nightmare for a long time. Later, when he was in a bad mood and encountered network problems at the base, he cursed the network administrator, which triggered another wave of online criticism.

Now, everything he has suffered must be taken back from Black.

Uzi's confidence stems from the fact that since Snake developed the Ardent Censer composition, RNG has been unstoppable in the regular season.

Apart from a disappointing 1-2 defeat against WE, they swept all other matches 2-0.

Furthermore, prior to today's match, they engaged in a week-long intensive practice session with EDG.

In order to help RNG defeat Snake Esports, EDG has gone to great lengths this week, basically replicating all the lineups and tactics that Snake Esports used to employ and feeding them to RNG.

After each training match, the coaches from both sides would gather together to review and discuss the issues that arose during the match.

Starting from training three days ago, RNG maintained a perfect record of winning all thirteen scrims against EDG!

Uzi felt that his version had arrived.

RNG is the most experienced team when it comes to playing the "four protect one" strategy.

The Incense Burner version further elevates the four-pack-one system to an unprecedented level.

In Uzi's view, Snake Elves, who developed the Incense Burner system, were his lucky stars, but now, Snake Elves must also pay the price for the words and actions of their players.

Black and White are jokingly referred to by netizens as the "Black and White Duo," and their relationship seems to be quite good.

But now, he's going to use the incense burner system created by White to thoroughly humiliate Black. Just thinking about it is so exciting, how could Uz not be excited?

Seeing Uzi so happy, Xiaohu chuckled and said, "Brothers, good luck in today's match! Let's win 3-0!"

Snakes' bench.

Crystal Brother flexed his wrists and nervously shook his legs, which quickly drew laughter from Song Wen.

"Seriously, K, you're this scared of playing against Uzbekistan?"

Hearing Song Wen's teasing, Crystal stubbornly retorted, "I'm afraid of Uzi? Brother, you're really wrong. I'm genuinely not afraid of Uzi."

Saint Gun started to flatter in a sarcastic and insincere way.

"Indeed, when Uzi was with OMG, he was beaten to tears by Crystal."

Song Wen chuckled and said, "I know, you're breastfeeding during the second half of the day, right?"

Seeing Song Wen go all out, Crystal quickly said, "Uh, I shouldn't exaggerate this. It doesn't really have much to do with me."

"It's really not a big deal," Wang Ke said. "I watched that match. Crystal was completely crushed under the tower by Uzi. Uzi had a super fed start and was completely ruined by his teammates."

"That's partly true!" Crystal changed his tune, "It wasn't that I fed him early on, it's just that his teammates couldn't handle his mentality."

Flandre laughed until his stomach hurt, then taunted, "I suddenly remembered, back when you were playing Cannon and getting four kills at once, wasn't that also against Uzi?"

Upon hearing Flandre mention his iconic moment, Crystal quickly chimed in, "Bro, let me tell you, no normal person could do that. Back then, I played Tristana, and I can honestly say there weren't many players in the entire LPL who could play her better than me. I was absolutely dominant with Tristana back then!"

"So how did you come up with the idea of ​​cooking one fish in four ways?"

Wang Ke couldn't help but become curious as well.

"That's how it was back then," Crystal began to talk, "You know what I was thinking back then, right? I wanted to use W to cancel out the fish the moment I was about to be eaten, I wanted to make a cool move."

As a former teammate, Flandre had heard this explanation countless times: "The result was indeed very cool, hahaha."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense," Wang Ke interrupted everyone. "The competition is about to begin."

Upon hearing Wang Ke's words, Crystal's smile gradually faded, and his inner tension made him somewhat uneasy again.

Crystal, who entered the LPL in 15, has faced off against Uzi quite a few times.

But indeed, they lost more than they won.

Moreover, even in matches where I won, I rarely gained an advantage in the laning phase.

Compared to the previous two years, Snake's bot lane has become weaker.

Crystal Bro naturally wouldn't think it was Wang Ke's problem.

In fact, he greatly admired Wang Ke.

It was this man, whom he considered to have the "most powerful brain," who, along with Song Wen, put the Snake team in the playoffs instead of the relegation battle.

Crystal doubts his own abilities.

After returning to the AD position, he could clearly feel that his skills were much worse than they had been in the previous two years.

And with the high intensity of training nowadays, he always feels that his hand injury is recurring.

Even at his peak, he could only be suppressed when facing UZI. Furthermore, they haven't scrimmed with RNG for a long time, but watching RNG's matches shows that UZI is in excellent form. Can he really withstand facing such a UZI?

Crystal is also aware of the team's current predicament.

If the Snake team loses today's game, then Song Wen will likely face repercussions.

After experiencing that BO010, Crystal thought he had come to terms with it.

But the addition of Song Wen and Wang Ke, along with the team's continuous improvement in performance, gave him renewed hope.

Perhaps this year, he can give it another shot and see the world stage.

Therefore, he was even more determined not to let the team stop there.

But this very mentality also brought Crystal Brother even greater pressure.

His own strength is no longer at its peak, while Uzi's strength in the bot lane has definitely increased from OMG to QG, and now to RNG.

Before the match even started, Crystal's hands were already sweating.

"Viewers watching the live stream! You are now watching the knockout stage of the 2017 League of Legends Spring Split Playoffs! The two teams facing off are RNG Esports Club and Snake Esports Club! I'm your commentator, Miller!"

"I'm the commentator doll!"

"I'm Rita, the commentator!"

As the voices of the three commentators rang out, it signaled the official start of today's match.

"I believe many viewers were watching today's match! The playoffs have entered the knockout stage, and the winner of this best-of-five series will advance to the semifinals to continue their pursuit of the Spring Split championship trophy. The loser, on the other hand, will have to end their Spring Split journey with regret! For both teams, this is their only chance! Rita, what are your thoughts on today's match?"

When Miller asked her, Rita replied, "I think RNG might have a higher chance of winning today's match. We know that since the Ardent Censer system was developed, RNG has been on a winning streak and made it into the playoffs. Including last week's match against OMG, RNG won 3-0! We all say that the Ardent Censer system has brought a golden age to ADCs, and RNG, with UZI, is the team most suited to this system."

The doll nodded and began to express her own opinion.

"Indeed, it is already quite remarkable that Snake, as a dark horse, was able to make a comeback and enter the knockout stage."

However, given RNG's capabilities, I think they won't be easily defeated by Snake.

Miller added, "Today's match certainly doesn't seem like an easy battle for Snake. In the pre-match predictions, RNG was far ahead with 90% of the votes. It seems that RNG is more trustworthy to the fans."

Before the match even started, the three commentators in the commentary booth were already giving conflicting opinions.

In the live stream, the chat was still buzzing with cheers for RNG.

Go RNG! Go Mad Dog!

[Dry-crush the trash snake team!]

[Damn it, I'm going to see Blackie die today!]

[Snake Esports has no chance of winning today. With the Ardent Censer meta, RNG's bot lane is invincible; an invincible bot lane is practically invincible.]

[Bai Chu isn't very good at laning, but he can still survive against teams with weak bot lanes. Against RNG, he'll be guaranteed to die.]

[EDG would have crushed Snake Esports long ago if Deft hadn't left.]

[666, looks like there's official pressure, the commentators are all saying the same thing.]

[Haha, here comes another schemer. Should we support your mother instead of RNG?]

[I'm a pig offal, and I'm here today to support the dog.]

Snakes' rest room.

Zuo Wu stared at the barrage of comments scrolling across her phone, remaining silent.

He definitely has feelings for the Snake team and is wholeheartedly committed to making the club better. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to visit Incheon three times during the transfer window to bring in 0-King.

Although the final result was like a joke.

Seeing the Snake team being criticized by the entire internet, Zuo Wu felt very uncomfortable.

This is the official way; with just a few small tricks, they can ruin a club's reputation.

The esports scene is a community, and to thrive in it, you have to follow its rules.

However, Song Wen's appearance has broken this rule, and naturally, it will bring fierce retaliation.

In fact, the Snake team was not at the end of its rope.

Even if they lose today's match, all he needs to do is cooperate with the officials and distance himself from Song Wenyi. When the summer season comes, the forgetful netizens won't chase after them anymore.

But for some reason, Zuo Wu subconsciously wanted Song Wen to keep winning.

Although this kid has caused the club a lot of trouble, his achievements are genuine.

What Zuo Wu admired most was Song Wen's purity and youthful spirit!

The spirit of youth should not be extinguished in this way.

But now, Song Wen only has one path left to take.

That's winning.

Keep winning.

Zuo Wu put down his phone, no longer looking at the chaotic barrage of comments and the highly biased commentary.

He just stared nervously at the screen, muttering to himself.

"We have to win."

"Both sides have begun the draft phase. Let's get into today's match!!"
