League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 96 is so arrogant?

The RNG team underwent some changes due to Chen Dongqing's time travel, with jungler mlxg being replaced by Swift.

Although there were no nerfs to the jungle role, Swift still occupies a Korean import slot, which meant Mata couldn't come, and the support player remains the same: Ley.

Chen Dongqing initially thought that without MATA, RNG would not be as strong as it was in its previous days.

Surprisingly, judging from their regular season record, this version of RNG is almost identical to the RNG of the past. RNG, along with EDG and QG, is currently ranked first in the league with a record of 7-1.

It can only be said that although MATA is the only support player to win the FMVP, he is actually unqualified as a Korean import.

He looks down on his teammates, plays Jayce with one hand in LPL matches, throws games at Worlds, plays Zyra the Wind Speaker, and has too many other problems.

It's better if these South Korean players just die.

Before we knew it, it was March 12th.

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2016 LPL Spring Split! Hello everyone, this is Guan Zeyuan!"

"Hello everyone, I'm commentator Su Xiaoyan!"

The voices of the two commentators quickly filled the entire venue; both were in high spirits.

Colonel Guan chatted with someone nearby, saying, "The upcoming match is QG vs. RNG, it's going to be amazing!"

"Yes!" Su Xiaoyan nodded, looked down at her notes, and said, "Currently, both teams have a score of 7-1, tied for first place in the league with EDG. After this match, one of them will break away from the tie and become the true number one in the league, while the other will drop to third."

"This victory is especially important, and I believe QG won't let it go easily!"

At this moment, the camera focused on Chen Dongqing, who was lying on a gaming chair, resting with his eyes closed. In the close-up of his face, you could even see his long eyelashes projected onto his lower eyelids through the light.

There's not much to say.

Sparrows eat crickets.

At this moment, Xiangguo was exchanging insults with Xiaohu in the team chat channel, holding nothing back.

At the same time, Uzi also greeted RNG's support player, Ley.

Ley is a veteran player who has been around since the SHR era. When he first debuted, Uzi was playing mid lane, and Ley was AD. A few years have passed, and now their team names have changed, and their positions have changed as well.

"Status confirmed, the match can begin at any time."

Upon hearing the referee's instructions through his headset, Chen Dongqing finally opened his eyes and dragged the mouse to click "Start Game".

The BP panel quickly appeared in front of everyone!

"Alright, the ban/pick phase has begun. The first round of bans and picks for both sides is now complete. QG, on the blue side, banned Lissandra, while RNG, on the red side, banned Kog'Maw as usual!"

In the second ban, QG chose to ban Lulu, while RNG banned Fiora.

"Alright, last ban. Let's see what QG says? Morgana! No problem. What about RNG? They ban Alistar! Hmm, no problem there either!"

The selection process has begun.

After a brief discussion, QG decided to lock in Titan on the first floor.

This is their recently summarized all-purpose business plan approach.

The blue team first picked Titan, and with the top and support roles flexible, the opposing team had no way to defend against it. Of course, what the outside world didn't know was that they also had a mid-lane gank hidden away.

"On the other side, RNG opted for a conservative approach, picking Graves and Braum as support. This was likely a deliberate attempt to gauge the enemy's position and determine which role Nautilus would play!"

QG then immediately and decisively picked Skateboard Shoes and Excavator, leaving the flex pick position to be revealed last.

This was unwatchable; there was nothing that could be done. RNG quickly locked in Lucian and Poppy, giving the counter pick to Xiaohu.

"We still have our top and support left," Banbazi said in the voice chat. "The enemy support is Braum, so we'll pick Karma. We can just push the lane and farm bot lane, okay?"

Liu Qingsong thought for a moment, then nodded.

Although he doesn't play support champions well, he's actually quite good at Karma.

What he's really not good at is playing a shield support who camps next to the AD carry to protect them, while Karma's early game playstyle is more about roaming, so he has some experience with that.

As for the top lane, since the opponent has already picked Poppy, our own top lane pick is actually quite easy to choose.

Choose a champion without mobility, and since your mid laner is Nautilus, he needs to provide enough AP damage.

The area shrinks infinitely, and then shrinks to three heroes.

Rambo, Kennen, Angel.

Rumble vs. Poppy was not considered due to the disadvantageous laning phase, and Kayle's development cycle was too long, so after careful consideration, Chen Dongqing finally decided on Kennen.

In the past few days, he has already raised his team fight ability to 87 points, which clearly makes him qualified to play a team fight hero like Kennen.

Banbazi emphasizes trust and decisive agreement.

I've only used this thing once or twice in scrims, but it's still better than Malphite and Darius, right?

Trust Ilex!

"Hmm, Kennen?" Su Xiaoyan looked at QG's lineup with a hint of doubt. "But they've already picked Nautilus and Karma, right? What lanes are they playing?"

Colonel Guan tried to understand and said, "Then it could be Kennen top lane, Karma mid lane, and Nautilus support?"

"It's hard to say." Su Xiaoyan tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "There's precedent for Titan mid lane, so it's not impossible. We'll see how QG handles the position change."

Immediately afterwards, RNG locked in Corki as their final carry, and the two sides entered the final phase of lineup swaps and talent/rune selection.

After a series of position swaps, the heroes for both sides were determined.

"Alright, let's see the final lineups for both sides!" Colonel Guan said, his eyes scanning the screen to take in everything.

Blue side QG: Top lane Kennen, Jungle Rek'Sai, Mid lane Nautilus, Bot lane Kalista and Karma.

RNG (Red Side): Top lane Poppy, Jungle Graves, Mid lane Corki, Bot lane Lucian and Braum.

"So it really is mid-lane Nautilus!" Guan Daxiao thought for a moment and said, "Then QG is probably trying to use Nautilus's AOE and control abilities to roam in the early game."

"QG's draft picks are actually quite ingenious!" Su Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise. "After this positional swap, it seems like all three of their lanes are now advantageous! This will give their mid and jungle players a lot more room to maneuver!"

"Yes!" Colonel Guan nodded in agreement. "I must say, because of the players' deep hero pool, QG always manages to come up with some draft picks that really catch our eye!"

"Go QG!"

"Go RNG!"

This fan culture only formed in the middle of the spring season. At the very beginning of the match, fans from both sides would take turns cheering for their respective teams.

It's clear that QG is much more popular than RNG, which is evident in the cheers they receive.

After Doinb returned, although they lost one game, QG is undoubtedly the top team in the league right now, second only to EDG in popularity!

The deafening cheers from the fans could even be heard through the noise-canceling headphones.

Chen Dongqing, controlling Kennen, bought a Doran's Blade and quickly headed towards the top half of the map, chuckling as he said, "Aren't you feeling the pressure playing against your former team?"

Xiangguo immediately replied, "What pressure could I possibly feel? I'd love to beat Xiaohu into a pig's head!"

Chen Dongqing then asked with a smile, "And what about Jian Zihao? Is he feeling any pressure?"

Although the original Royal Club (RYL) failed to avoid relegation from the LSPL in the S5 Spring Split, Royal Club is known for its quirky and unconventional tactics. Through a series of actions, including buying an LPL team, changing the team name, and replacing players, they pulled off a miraculous comeback, bringing the Royal Club team back to the LPL.

Regardless of what others say, Royal Club claims that the current RNG is the legitimate successor of Royal Club, inheriting RYL's two World Championship runner-up titles.

The Ship of Theseus belonged to it.

So theoretically speaking, RNG can be considered Uzi's former team, and it is also one of the most prestigious teams in the LPL.

"Me?" Uzi replied without hesitation, "I definitely won't feel any pressure. The enemy bot lane isn't strong. Let me put it this way: if their bot lane turret isn't down by ten minutes, come find me!"

"So arrogant?"

"He's definitely cocky! Who's this guy?"

"Alright, then I'll try my best to prevent you from switching to the top lane to push the tower."
