League: Educating LPL is my duty.

As expected, OMG's lineup clearly entered a weak period after 30 minutes, and gradually became powerless under M17's attacks.

Although the economic gap hasn't widened significantly, to use a classic analogy, the M17 lineup is worth three thousand yuan, and it automatically increases by one thousand yuan every five minutes.

The game ended at 43 minutes, with M17 securing a decisive team fight victory.

On the LPL broadcast channel, Miller watched OMG's crystal explode and finally said with regret, "Although it's a bit of a pity, congratulations to M17 for winning the first victory in the LMS region. OMG's group stage journey ends one to one."

Remember to help explain: "M17 did play very tenaciously in this game. OMG found many opportunities in the early game and gained some advantages, but they couldn't decide the outcome of the game. In the late game, OMG's lineup seemed weak."

However, this is just a minor setback. We are still in first place in our group stage standings, and both of our points came from LCK matches, so it's not a big problem. OMG's performance has been quite good.

Rita chimed in, "That's right, the score is still in our favor. OMG's victory over MVP has earned us a valuable point."

Domestic netizens didn't react particularly strongly to OMG's loss in this game, after all, OMG had just defeated LCK's MVP team, so losing one game wasn't a big deal.

It's okay, winning one game and losing one is fine. OMG is the weakest of the four teams.

[Understandable. Next up is RNG vs. AHQ, and they're practically guaranteed a point. They'll likely take three points on day one again.]

[A 1-1 score is understandable, but winning against MVP shows OMG has real strength. They were too overconfident in this game, using an extreme lineup.]

It's okay, if we don't criticize OMG this time, it's all because C played too arrogantly.

[Support! He's the one who made LMS sound like trash. He's not getting his stash of money this month; he's going to go get a foot massage.]

Li Chen was unaware that he had been unfairly blamed. Meanwhile, the OMG team returned to the rest room, and they were all visibly dejected.

Clearly, not having fought the M17 was a significant blow to them.

Seeing their expressions, Li Chen said directly, "I'm not saying this to you guys, but you just accidentally lost a game, why are you acting like defeated dogs? Don't you have any resilience? I'll call a counselor for you guys."

"And Leng Shao, I've killed you countless times in regional competitions, and I've never seen you act like this. What's wrong with you today? I've been on the bench for two years, and I don't even get a seat at team meals, but I'm not like you!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Shao suppressed his frustration at losing the match, rolled his eyes, and said speechlessly, "We're different!"

"Alright, if you have nothing to do, just sit down and watch the game. Even though the MVP lost, he didn't act like he was dying. It's just one game. People who don't know better would think that LPL has been eliminated. Let RNG give you a show later and settle things for you."

Li Chen directly transferred the pressure call.

OMG did win a game against LCK, and after Li Chen's encouragement and the comforting words from the others, they gradually relaxed and returned to their seats to rest.

At this moment, the RNG team members were already eager to get started and began discussing the upcoming match.

Today, both OMG and EDG have defeated LCK teams. They can't afford to lose to LMS teams next, otherwise they'll just be a laughing stock for Li Chen.

Fifteen minutes later, the RNG team took to the field to begin their fifth group stage match of the day, while Uzi, as a substitute, sat on the sidelines, chewing his fingers and spacing out.

The LPL commentators and viewers are quite confident about this match, after all, RNG is the second best team in China after EDG, and in terms of raw strength, they are definitely stronger than AHQ.

However, some viewers are worried that Uzi is currently only participating in the Intercontinental Cup as a substitute due to injury and will basically not play, which may greatly affect RNG's strength.

A moment later, both sides completed their lineup selections and the match officially began.

In this match, both sides had their own strengths and weaknesses in their lineups. Unlike the previous match, where one side clearly had a greater advantage in the early game and the other side had stronger late-game capabilities, both sides chose lineups that were strong in the early, mid, and late game.

However, from the very beginning of the match, the two teams were evenly matched, with kills frequently occurring and the gap remaining narrow.

Li Chen wasn't too worried about the situation in this game, because RNG had already won it.

But as time went on, things started to go wrong in the game.

"You can't play like this! You're halfway through the Baron fight, then you turn around and engage in a team fight, and before the team fight even starts, you turn back to attack Baron. What is RNG doing? They're completely in disarray!" Miller looked at the chaotic RNG team and didn't know how to help cover for them.

This isn't a matter of skill or technique anymore; it's simply a problem with the team's command. It's like someone is trying to steal command. Even a pig could see that RNG is playing haphazardly.

Remember, he was also a little anxious: "Can we retreat here quickly, go home and regroup, and then come back? There's still a chance. We can't fight now. AHQ has opened fire, Xiaoming is controlled and melted. RNG needs to run. We can't afford to lose any more people."

No matter how loudly the commentators shout, the players on the field can't hear them.

At this point, RNG was in complete chaos. With Xiaoming being engaged, Mlxg and the AD went in to fight, while Xiaohu and Rangdi were retreating.

The result was that RNG suffered a 0-for-4 exchange and lost the Baron Nashor.

After this team fight ended, the LPL rest area fell silent.

RNG is basically doomed to lose now, and there's no chance of a comeback.

The crowd exchanged glances, all sensing that something terrible was about to happen.

A few minutes later, the commentators announced AHQ's victory, and the first day of the group stage ended with LPL tied 2-2.

At this point, things were starting to go wrong in the LPL live stream.

[Haha, after all that boasting, is this all you've got?]

[It ended in 35 minutes, even worse than OMG, it really made me laugh.]

I thought the LPL was finally going to rise again, but now it seems only EDG is any real threat.

[So this is the Inuwaka team? They're really strong, very impressive!]

[Where's the puppy? Is it dead? If not, bring it up!]

There are three main reasons why viewers can accept OMG losing to M17.

The first point is that they had previously defeated LCK's MVP team, making their record a 1-1 tie.

Secondly, OMG was the weakest of the four teams, so it's normal for them to lose.

The third point is that they were the first to lose, so everyone could accept losing a game.

If RNG doesn't meet any of these three conditions, then it's simply unacceptable.
