Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 71 Heroes' Ambition: Chasing Legends

"If it weren't RNG standing here today, ready to lift the championship trophy, we might never understand the true meaning of this trophy!!"

"Right now, when the RNG players are all huddled together, when our pride and frustration are finally released, I understand the meaning of our LPL team's six years of relentless struggle leading up to S7!!!"

"It's been so tough! The puppy has made it to the finals three times, and now he's finally going to lift his first championship trophy!"

"Yes, Zeyuan, as professional players, we share in this glory. This is not only the wish of all LPL players, but also the highest honor that we retired veteran players have been longing for."

It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but only when they are heartbroken.

PDD, a tall and strong man, was also choked up, which was heartbreaking. He kept wiping the wet corners of his eyes with the cuff of his suit sleeve.

The three commentators who were replaced—the Haier Brothers, Wawa and Miller, and Wang Duoduo—rushed up from backstage.

RNG's five players were surrounded in the middle, with dozens of people hugging each other into a large ball, all releasing their excitement.

The players sitting in front of their screens were extremely excited, followed by a deep sense of empathy for the hardships and difficulties they had endured.

Yes, as the commentator said, LPL has never tasted the joy of winning a championship. It's not easy for RNG to get to where they are today, to withstand all the pressure and resist all the evil forces!

First, he fought five games against his inner demon SKT Mi, and Uzi used a mysterious weapon to qualify for the Bird's Nest!
Then came a series of physical changes and unfair refereeing decisions, which plunged everyone's spirits to rock bottom!
But RNG didn't give up. They persevered, and they won!
Amidst the anticipation of millions of players and the barrage of criticism from tens of thousands of trolls, they withstood the pressure and achieved the honor they had dreamed of all their lives!

"Along the way, we defeated G2, Flash Wolves, we overcame the mental barrier that stood in the way of LPL, SKT, and finally, we defeated SSG, the strongest team from LCK."

"We've won the world championship!!!"

"No need to wait until next year, no need for 'next time,' it's this year, it's right now, it's this very moment, and only then have we understood the meaning of our seven years of perseverance."

"We've seen how incredibly tough it has been for all the RNG players, it's truly amazing!"

"The perseverance of each and every one of us, this moment, for all LPL viewers, our players, our staff, everyone behind the scenes, this moment, is something we should all cherish!!!"

"As LPL viewers and commentators, we are incredibly proud! Right now!"

"The moon of Qin shines on the passes of Han, the soldiers on the long march have not returned. If only the Flying General of Longcheng were here, the barbarian horses would not dare to cross the Yin Mountains."

"At this moment, we finally withstood the attack of the LCK teams. At this moment, we defended the pride of the LPL and the Chinese people in the Bird's Nest."

"This moment belongs to LPL, to every LPL member and viewer, including every player watching the live stream."

"We've waited six years for this moment. Now, lads, enjoy it!"

"All LPL players, staff, and viewers, enjoy this moment!!!"

"Moreover, this is a team whose playstyle is highly controversial, and whose runner-up finish in the Summer Split was also highly controversial. However, they rose again in the semifinals."

As the RNG members strolled confidently toward SSG's soundproof booth, ready to shake hands.

All live streaming platforms, including Seafood TV, Huya TV, and countless other platforms with broadcasting rights, were instantly overwhelmed by fans of LOL, Dota, and even Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), as well as fans of countless other games.

At that moment, tens of millions of people flooded into the rooms broadcasting the game. The servers also reached their limit, and with a pause in the video, the screen went black!
The person in charge of coordination rushed to the studio, ready to unleash a torrent of abuse, but when he looked up, he was stunned to see traffic data that was fifty times higher than usual.

The refined and amiable words that were about to come out were reduced to a single sentence:
"RNG is awesome!"

But! One person fell, ten people fell, but thousands upon thousands rose up!
The moment the official live stream collapsed, countless individual live streams of all sizes opened on Tieba, Douyin, and Kuaishou, displaying blurry images and emitting incredibly noisy sounds.

It turns out that people at the scene discovered the situation and immediately started live streaming using their mobile phones.

In countless live streams of all sizes, countless angles were focused on a large group of people walking out of RNG's soundproof room.

All the cameras were focused on the five team members at the head!

The group walked with great strides and high spirits, displaying the true demeanor of a great power and the new kingly posture of the LPL.

Baojianfeng comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.

Once upon a time, there was a young man who, in his early career, dominated the TGA Winter Tournament in Season 2, winning the runner-up title.

In his very first year as a professional player, at the age of 17, he won the runner-up title in the League of Legends Grand Prix. The following year, the young man led his team to the S4 World Championship finals again, but failed once more in his quest for the championship trophy that seemed within reach yet slipped through his fingers time and time again.

Young man! You should be carrying the willows swaying and the grass growing and the orioles flying on your shoulders.

But having chosen this turbulent and bumpy road, how could we give up!

Five years of perseverance allowed the young man to gradually mature from his arrogance as a prodigy, and finally complete the final tempering process, transforming it into a unique and powerful weapon in the world.

Once upon a time, there was a young man who shone brightly at MSI, repeatedly performing godlike feats in the competition.

People seem to be familiar with the tall, handsome prince, and find it hard to equate him with a big mouth, small eyes, and a shrill voice.

Some people laughed at him, calling him a slacker and bestowing upon him the title of Tiger Master, mocking him for being the weakest but occupying the middle position by taking the atomic bomb for the boss.

He just smiled when he heard that. Since some people have positions to take the resources and carry, someone else has to sacrifice the economy.

However, never underestimate a young person's potential, and never belittle a tiger that hasn't yet shown its power.

If time could flow backward like Ike's, this fierce, white-browed tiger with piercing eyes would dare to challenge me to a duel.

Once upon a time, a young man also made a miraculous three-legged leap to the LPL, and after joining the team, he also showed some remarkable talent.

But the boy was so contradictory that the coach couldn't tell whether he was a sharp spear or a sturdy shield.

When two people, brimming with honor and glory, arrived.

His boss told him, "You should leave. You shouldn't just stay here."

The boy asked, "Where am I going?"
The boss replied, "If you don't want to leave, go to the second team. Come back when you've truly understood yourself."

Oh, by the way, remember to learn how to use the looper when you join the second team.

The boss spoke lightly, but he forgot that the young man was once a rising star in the top lane who achieved three consecutive promotions and was the hardest-working member of the RNG team.

Once upon a time, there was a young prodigy who reached the pinnacle of his career right from the start, becoming a champion at the age of sixteen. When he was spotted by a professional esports team, his wish was simple and pure.

I play professionally for the money.

If I really have any dreams, I just want to retire one day, go back to my hometown, open a hot pot restaurant, name it MLXG Hot Pot Restaurant, and live a peaceful life as a small business owner.

He debuted as the best rookie in LSPL and then his aggressive jungling style caused chaos and bloodshed throughout the LPL, until another teammate with a wealth of honors arrived.

When asked by the media why he would give up the economy to his teammates and go to fight the enemy for food, he replied...

He laughed and said, "In the canyon of relativity, if I eat more of their food and my teammates eat mine, we can make a lot more money."

The boy spoke with great enthusiasm and brimming with pride.

Just by turning his back to the camera, one could almost see his former arrogance in his eyes, and his smile seemed to be tinged with tears.

Once upon a time, there was a young man who played as a support player in the LSPL. He was shy and awkward, and his playstyle was clumsy. Only his occasional flashes of brilliance made people remember his ID.

However, his aggressive Thresh support play in both the Korean and Chinese servers was quite impressive, with even the legendary solo queue player Dopa admitting that he would be completely crushed when facing him!
Someone approached him, hoping he would join their team.

He said he didn't want to go anywhere, he didn't want to join any team, even if he knew that a team would be good for his development, he just wanted to stay with the old team.

Even the boss, PDD, said he liked it three times.

Of all the contestants I've encountered over the years, and those under my wing, my favorite is X. I genuinely like X; I really, really like him.

But the other party said, "We can wait." He asked, "Why are you so persistent?"

He said he's the one who's taken a liking to you!
