Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 308 Shocks the Entire Internet! The Legend Continues!
Wow, congratulations RNG!

The scene in Incheon erupted in chaos as the starkly contrasting reactions of the two sides were displayed on the big screen!
Countless LPL fans who came all the way to South Korea to support RNG finally had a chance to cheer up and release the LCK nightmare that had been weighing on their hearts for years with their loudest shouts!

Two consecutive games, each lasting about 20 minutes, saw Skt's crystal base destroyed!
A dominant 2-0 scoreline gave them a match point in the S-series finals!

RNG has created an unprecedented record in LPL history, and it may also be a record that LPL region has never broken against LCK region.

No team can match RNG's current level of control, not even Skt back in the day!
Everyone went crazy!

"Rng! Rng!"

“Rng!”

"Uzi!! Uzi!!!"

“.!!!”

The cheers were deafening, continuing even after the game ended, reverberating throughout the enormous stadium.

The RNG members, who had already reached the lounge, were also overwhelmed by this massive wave of sound!
"Holy crap, what's going on outside?"

Xiangguo, who only regrets his lack of culture and whose only catchphrase is "Holy crap," peeked out to see what was happening, but was so frightened by the audience's enthusiasm that he quickly retreated.

No one can remain calm and composed under such circumstances, and no player active in the arena can take the support of so many fans in stride!
At this moment, the RNG members felt as if they had thousands of LPL fans fighting alongside them!
An unparalleled sense of accomplishment and satisfaction arises spontaneously. The e-sports stage is here, if you dare to come! Perhaps all professional players have trained desperately, wanting to step onto this supreme stage, waiting for this very moment!
The players lived up to the fans' expectations, and the fans supported the players. For the first time, LPL fans showed the world what the Chinese spirit is.

"This feels so amazing! I hope I can come back here next year!"

Even the usually calm Xiao Hu was so excited that he couldn't sit still, repeatedly sitting down and standing up on the sofa in the lounge.

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"

Chris stood in front of the TV watching the fans' performance, shouting "Awesome!" Then, as if realizing something, he stammered, "We're going to make history! My God, a perfect record to win the S-series finals! This!!!"

Before Chris could finish speaking, the door to the lounge suddenly opened, interrupting him.

Bai Xing walked in with an ecstatic expression, and without bothering with formalities, said directly, "I won't say much more. Do your best in the next round. If you win and return to the capital, I can't promise you anything else, but each of you will get an apartment in the Third Ring Road. You can choose whichever you like!"

Bai Xing's words exploded like an atomic bomb dropped into a calm lake in RNG's rest room.

"A house within the Third Ring Road?"

"Fuck!"

"That must be at least ten million?"

Having been poor all her life, Letme was so excited that she trembled all over.

He originally thought his professional career would be just like any other ordinary professional player, and that S7 would be the peak of his life that he never dared to imagine.

Winning this world championship in the Bird's Nest, a title watched by hundreds of millions of people, brings glory to one's hometown, along with wealth and honor.

Now he knows he was wrong!
Big mistake!

This is the peak of Letme's career!

The reward for winning a single match is ten million. Who would believe that?
From the moment RNG ruthlessly slaughtered Skt in two consecutive games, Skt was no different from other teams in everyone's eyes, and the god-like man in the mid lane was standing on the edge of a cliff.

This time, with a score of 3-0, everyone was 99% confident, even if they didn't say it aloud.

If RNG takes another step forward, it will become the only super team in the entire history of the league that can be compared with SKT!
The team that won the S-series championship twice in a row!
Shirahoshi has gone mad too!
"Wow!!"

"Shirahoshi is awesome!"

"Takeoff, brothers, takeoff!"

Seeing how excited the others were even without encouragement, Li Luo, sitting in the back, let out a long sigh and smiled as he watched Bai Xing's performance.

From her initial naivety to her current maturity, Shirahoshi has grown into someone no one could have imagined!

RNG has changed its reputation from a contract team to a super team that all professional players envy and want to join.

Of course, even Li Luo himself hadn't expected Bai Xing to be so generous with this reward.

The atmosphere inside RNG's lounge was electric, and the outside world couldn't stay calm either!

The moment RNG destroyed Skt's base, a massive wave swept across the globe, wherever esports existed.

Nineteen minutes, twenty-one minutes.

In just forty minutes, RNG beat SKT twice. Who would believe that?

One after another, news like atomic bombs bombarded the minds of viewers around the world, impacting their retinas and historical understanding.

Many fans who heard the news initially thought it was SKT defeating RNG 2-0, but after reading the full story, they were stunned.

RNG actually beat Skt 2-0? And it was such a crushing defeat!

Throughout the eight-year history of the S-series, there has never been a precedent of an LPL team so utterly dominating an LCK team on the world's largest professional League of Legends esports stage.

Not a single one could achieve this, not even Edg, which was at the height of its power at the time.

OMG's 3-0 victory over White Shield back then created the meme "After all, it's 3-0, I could do it too." But now, RNG is going to bring that meme to the unimaginable SKT team!
As for Skt coming back from 0-2 down to win 3-2?

Can you do it?

Nobody knows for sure, but everyone knows that for Skt to come back from a 0-2 deficit to defeat FNC, everything must be in the right place at the right time. But if they were to come back from a 0-2 deficit to defeat RNG, the odds would be so slim that it would be like an ice age tomorrow.

This is a probability that is almost zero.

SKT was completely crushed in 40 minutes, losing two games without any chance to fight back. Bang was even forced to leave the stage after the match, his mentality completely shattered. In this situation, who can win? Can SKT bring in five Fakers?
If you can maintain your composure, you might win. But if your composure is completely shattered, and your mind is a complete mess, you're lucky if you can even stay in lane and avoid getting slaughtered.

Of course, the global audience had no time to pay attention to SKT's miserable state; the winner takes all, and the focus always belongs to the victor.

Even marketing accounts know that RNG is the key to their current success; how could anyone else not? The media is flooded with news, everywhere proclaiming that RNG is poised to win two consecutive championships!
Even the fans who have always supported RNG never imagined that after RNG won the championship in S7, RNG would be going to win their second championship.

In other words, even the invincible SKT team only won two consecutive championships. In professional League of Legends competitions, this is already an insurmountable limit. RNG is just one step away from matching this limit and is on the road to surpassing it.

Everyone believes RNG has the strength because, starting with their terrifying 19-game winning streak in the Spring Split at the beginning of the year, RNG has instilled an invincible spirit in all their fans. They haven't lost a single game in the World Championship so far, and nothing is more convincing than reality.

From League of Legends officials, commentators, and staff to streamers and fans, everyone turned their guns on the last game, dedicating their passion to it.

"That's incredible! RNG actually managed to beat SKT 2-0. Enough said, if they beat us today, I'll be a 10-year RNG fan!"

"I feel sorry for Brother Li. One god carrying four pigs, it's hard to even win."

"Three to zero, a three to zero victory, a perfect record to win the championship, wow, awesome!"

"Prediction post: Skt will continue their winning streak of coming back from 0-2 down to win 3-2. Royal Never Give Up fans, don't get too excited, or you might lose your composure and explode."

"What the hell are you predicting? You think you can come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 based on your words?"

"Can the LPL's two-time champions be compared to the LCK's two-time champions? First, consider the massive Chinese market. RNG winning the game doesn't mean they're already legendary."

The internet is in an uproar, with some supporting it, some criticizing it, and many more expressing disbelief at its current popularity.

Yes!

How can the LCK market compare to the LPL? How can S5 and S6 compare to S7 and S8? If RNG can really win this championship, at least in terms of public opinion, it will be a glory for the country. On a smaller scale, it means that Chinese teams in League of Legends have stood up.

Only teams with South Korean players can win?

The all-Chinese team winning two championships was like a powerful slap across the ugly faces of these people.

A large portion of the haters come from the paid trolls hired by these teams with two or even three foreign players.

At first, these online trolls said that RNG had a false championship, and after they won a championship, they said that one championship was worth three championships. They were full of sarcasm and exasperation. Now that RNG is about to win a second championship, how can these people not be furious?

As the first team to introduce foreign players, RNG has now abandoned them to win the championship. Isn't this pointing out a path for fans of other teams?

The legend continues, and a dynasty is about to be established!
Rarely seen, this extremely long Weibo post topped the trending searches and garnered over 100 million views, solidifying its undisputed dominant position today.

Besides this, there's also #climbingduo#, #bang got beaten and cried#, #RNG 2-0#, #two-time champion#, and #repeated champion League of Legends#.
All the major influencers following the match shared the post to support RNG, creating an unprecedented surge in popularity.

RNG is just one step away from winning the championship, and when that happens, it will definitely be a nationwide celebration. Therefore, now is the best time to ride the wave of popularity.

……

"RNG is really going to take off this time!"

Domestically, at the Edg club, Clearlove sat forlornly in the training room, sipping a Rio cocktail and scrolling through his phone while the entire internet was praising RNG.

Since Edg did not qualify for the World Championship, they are currently on holiday. Apart from Edg, only a few staff members have not gone home from the base.

"Didn't they already take off?"

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Mingkai turned around and found that it was Abu, who also looked forlorn.

The dark lights lengthened the shadows of the two men, and in the dimly lit training room, more and more bottles of liquor accumulated over time.

RNG's rise is not only a ray of hope for the LPL, but also the darkest era for other LPL teams!
In this era of RNG's brilliance, everyone else is merely a dim star in the night, only an accessory.

For these ambitious professional players, who could accept being mediocre?
"If we can't beat them, why don't we join them?"

After a long while, Abu's words drifted out from the lounge. Then, seemingly because the factory manager did not respond, the commentator's enthusiastic praise rang out again in the lounge!

The prelude to madness was evident in bars and universities across the country, and in any place where League of Legends fans gathered, all igniting the signs of an impending frenzy.

However, everyone maintained a sliver of rationality and did not begin to celebrate excessively, knowing that the dust had not yet completely settled.

RNG is currently up 2-0, and SKT is the first team in the World Championship to come back from 0-2 down to win 3-2. Everything is still uncertain.

They can only pin their hopes on the entire RNG team, muster their morale, and secure the final victory.

Meanwhile, Kkoma was in the break room, hurriedly giving the SKT members a final pep talk, which was more like a brainwashing session.

"RNG isn't as strong as you think, understand??? Lee Sang-hyeok, do you think they're that strong?" Kkoma tore off his refined facade, revealing his furious and exasperated expression.

"They are indeed very strong," the simple-minded Brother Li said honestly, immediately stopping the words that Kouma was about to say.

"you"

"You lost two games, both because of your decision-making in the level 1 team fight. Can't you see that now? If we hadn't fought in the level 1 team fight, but instead focused on our macro play and tactics, we could have won based on their performance today!"

Coach Kouma's words did not ignite the spirits of the group in the locker room, who were now like children with dementia; instead, they deepened their fear.

Bang, sitting in the corner, trembled even more when he heard about the first-tier team.

Seeing this, Coach Kouma could only grit his teeth and continue spouting nonsense:
"Don't forget, we are the first team in League of Legends history to win consecutive championships, and the first team to win three titles. As the number one seed, you not only represent yourselves, but also all the fans in South Korea. I'm telling you, if you lose this game, these fans will repay you in the same way you did today!"

"Especially you, Bae Jun-shik, have you forgotten what happened last year? It was lucky it was the semi-finals last year. If it had been the finals, putting everything else aside, you probably wouldn't be standing here now. I can tell you very clearly that every expression, every word, and even every action of yours will be recorded by cameras. Think about it, if you lose the game and see yourselves like this, how will they cheer you on!"

That really worked.

Encouragement was useless. Upon hearing Kouma's threat, apart from Brother Li, the other four immediately pretended to be okay and had no problem.

Putting everything else aside, Kkoma's words aren't really a threat. Given the current esports ecosystem in South Korea, if they lose the match, a 0-3 defeat at home to RNG, securing their double championship, these crazy fans might actually come to SKT's club and try to solo kill these so-called professional players.

When the time comes, if they say I'm retiring to apologize, I'll probably have to flee the country immediately to avoid being caught by these fans.

A series of ingenious reverse encouragements from Koma finally boosted the morale of SKT, which had been at rock bottom.
