Chapter 310 The Cowardly Lizard Uzi?

June 10th, Saturday.

7:30 p.m.

LGD and RNG will face off for the first time this year in the LPL Summer Split.

Although it was just a regular season match with a best-of-three (BO3) format.

However, given the combination of various factors, this is bound to be a highly anticipated match.

However, the competition was ultimately lacking in something.

Because Uzi won't be playing in this match.

Actually, it was already two days ago.

That is, the day the LPL Summer Split started this year.

There were two matches that day.

The opening match was LGD vs. JDG.

The second match that followed was RNG vs. OMG.

In that match, which was RNG's first match in this year's LPL Summer Split, Uzi was not on the team's roster.

According to RNG and Uzi's statements.

After the Spring Split ended, we entered the off-season between the Spring and Summer Splits.

Uzi went to get treatment for his right hand injury.

A professional esports player.

Prolonged sitting during training and competitions, with fingers pressing the mouse and keyboard extensively.

More or less, occupational diseases will occur in areas such as the back or arms.

It is said that Uzi's right wrist injury has been dragging on for a long time.

In order to better prepare for the upcoming Summer Split and the World Championship held on home soil.

Uzi seems determined to get his wrist injury properly treated this time.

With Uzi absent, RNG suffered a heartbreaking 1-2 defeat to OMG in their first match of the Summer Split.

At this point, all the viewers were wondering why Uzi missed the first match of the Summer Split.

They are generally quite convinced.

After all, there are only forty days between the end of the Spring Split and the start of the Summer Split.

If surgery or something similar is performed at this time.

It's not certain that they'll be fully recovered before the start of the Summer Split.

It's definitely possible to play games.

But he might not be in good condition, or his hand, which has just been treated, might not be able to withstand the high intensity of the competition.

Therefore, missing the first game of the Summer Split is understandable.

Given OMG's strength, even without Uzi, RNG should still be a force to be reckoned with.

As it turned out, RNG played all three games, but unfortunately lost their first match of the Summer Split.

Of course, after losing the first match of the Summer Split.

RNG fans are even more eager for Uzi to make a comeback.

In particular, their next opponent is the formidable LGD.

LGD's performance in their first match was terrible; they almost lost to JDG.

If Uzi plays in the next match, there's a great chance to beat LGD!
The current situation between LGD and RNG, especially between Zhou Dian and Uzi's fans.

The grudge was really built up after the "bathtub incident".

RNG fans and Uzi fans are now eagerly hoping to win a game against LGD.

Even if it's just a regular season game.

As long as they win, they can always at least give LGD's fans a little bit of a beating.

Vent your pent-up resentment.

Therefore, they are extremely hopeful that Uzi will appear in RNG's starting lineup today.

Unfortunately, let alone the starting lineup.

Uzi is still the same as he was in RNG's last match against LGD.

He wasn't even on the roster.

This inevitably caused a wave of disappointment among many RNG fans and Uzi fans.

Disappointed, these people could only sigh and complain at most.

There were no extra emotions left.

The ones who are really worried are those haters who love to criticize Uzi.

Originally, everyone was looking forward to Uzi playing today.

Then the newly crowned MSI champions, LGD, utterly crushed RNG.

Then they'll be able to launch another massive online attack on Uzbekistan.

To my utter surprise, Uzi wasn't on the roster again today.

For these little black guys.

The game was missing Uzi.

Even though LGD utterly crushed RNG.

That would be utterly boring!

Forget it, I'm too lazy to watch it, it's pointless.

The absence of Uzi, a top-tier player, is a significant loss.

Saturday night's highly anticipated match between LGD and RNG.

Although the number of online viewers in the live stream.

This still represents a new high since the start of the Summer Split.

But it always feels like something's missing.

What's missing?

The flavor of a clash between two titans!
RNG's top laner Letme has always struggled against Zhou Dian.

If you encounter them, you're basically guaranteed to get blown up.

Uzi isn't playing now.

Y4 temporarily replaced Uzi in the bottom lane.

He is just a young player who has only played in the second division and has no experience in the top league.

How could he possibly be a match for Imp!

In actual competition.

In every game, as the match progressed, RNG's top and bottom lanes fell behind.

Another slight mistake and the line will break.

For RNG...

Before the match even started, it was already clear that both lanes were at a disadvantage.

How should this match be played?
Let alone RNG, no one could withstand it.

Therefore, this BO3 regular season match between LGD and RNG is...

In one game, the top lane was completely dominated, and the bottom lane had a significant advantage.

In one game, imp and PYL dominated the bottom lane, while Zhou Dian had a significant advantage in the top lane.

LGD swept RNG 2-0, winning both games.

Both games were almost evenly matched.

The online advantage is too great, and the opponent is weaker than us.

As long as you don't act recklessly, you'll most likely win easily.

They nodded after just over an hour.

The regular season match between LGD and RNG is now over.

RNG lost really quickly.

This also left many serious viewers who were watching the game feeling that the match was not exciting enough.

A one-sided match really isn't very entertaining.

As soon as the match ended, the viewers in the live broadcast room quickly dispersed.

Only a small number of Uzi's haters remain.

These people were originally waiting for this match to end so they could stir up trouble and criticize Uzi relentlessly.

But now, the result of the match, and even the process of the match.

Everything perfectly matched their expectations. Except for that one most important person.

He didn't play!
None of them played a single game.

How do you use the game to set the pace for him?

This really worried these people.

However, these people actually found out that Uzi didn't even play in this game.

This match could also be used to dictate the pace of the game for Uzbekistan.

That's why it's said that compared to the fan base...

The haters are the ones who are truly "talented".

Shortly after LGD defeated RNG 2-0.

On Baidu Tieba, Weibo, and in the official LPL live stream.

Such comments have gradually emerged.

That was Uzi's hand injury, which had actually healed long ago.

It was precisely because he was afraid of losing to LGD that he did not choose to be included in the team roster for today's match.

To be honest, this pacing is a bit too far-fetched.

Because Uzi's hand injury is fully healed and he can play in the match today.

Two days before that, Uzi's hand should have been fine.

He should be able to play in RNG's first match of the Summer Split.

But why wasn't Uzi on the roster when RNG played OMG the day before yesterday?
It's impossible for the injury to be good or bad.

It just so happens that it's only in the last two days.

It's not like I accidentally cut my hand; a band-aid will do the trick in a couple of days.

about this point.

Since some people online have refuted this.

The haters had already prepared further explanations.

It is said that Uzi studied RNG's schedule for the first week of the Summer Split.

Because they were afraid of being trampled on by LGD again.

So they simply didn't even play in the first game against OMG.

He was left out of the squad for two consecutive games.

Instead of specifically choosing not to be included in the roster for the second game,
This was to cover up his true nature of being cowardly.

What a deep scheming mind!

To be honest, the story is a bit far-fetched.

It looks like it's true.

However, upon closer examination, it simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

However, many people actually believed it.

I really believe that Uzi avoided the match against LGD because he was afraid of being trampled on by their rivals.

For this reason, he even skipped the previous game.

It's all to make it look more convincing.

Immediately, comments suggesting Uzi was afraid to fight began circulating on online LOL-related discussion platforms.

Some people have given Uzi the nickname "Cowardly Lizard".

When Zhou Dian returned to the team's base, had a late-night snack, and prepared to play a few ranked matches to practice his heroes...

While waiting in line.

He browsed Tieba for a while.

Observe the post-match trend and direction.

They were also quite stunned.

Is Uzi, the cowardly lizard, afraid of battle?

The competition just ended, how come Uzi already has a new nickname?

Uzi didn't play today, did he?

Even if you don't play, you still get criticized!

Zhou Dian scoffed at the comments circulating online.

Uzi has a ton of flaws; there's no shortage of people who want to criticize him.

Why bother with things that don't exist, empty and black?
Uzi definitely has a lot of flaws.

But would you say he was afraid of fighting?

Zhou Dian didn't believe it.

After taking a quick look around, Zhou Dian understood why these fabricated accusations could spread so widely.

To put it bluntly, the voices of the haters have become louder than those of RNG fans and Uzi fans.

We couldn't afford to mess with them before, but now we can.

How is it greater than?
It's very simple; the haters just need to use the name of fans of the newly crowned MSI champion LGD team.

They were using the name of Zhou Dian, the MSI-FMVP, as a fan.

That way, they can stand on higher ground and step on the heads of RNG fans and Uzi fans.

to be honest.

In the esports world, where results are the sole measure of success.

The concept of "comparing results" has permeated all aspects of life.

Results speak for themselves!

Results are the only true measure of success!

However, looking at these various opinions...

Zhou Dian was also somewhat speechless.

As the saying goes, idols pay the price for their fans' actions.

Even though most of these troublemakers aren't actually Zhou Dian's fans.

But this is not important.

Anyone who claims to be a fan of Zhou Dian.

In the eyes of other fans, he is Zhou Dian's fan.

After causing trouble, these thugs can just pack up and leave.

Become a fan of the next champion FMVP player and continue to stomp on the heads of other fans.

However, Zhou Dian would have to bear the backlash alone.

Unless you can win all the time, you won't suffer the consequences.

To reiterate, as long as you achieve results and don't become a "lawless outlaw,"...

Then, a great Confucian scholar will surely debate the classics for you!
Of course, this is on the premise that you keep winning, winning every game.

But is that really possible?
Are there truly invincible champions in esports?
Zhou Dian didn't want to think about this issue anymore.

He's in ranked now, so he needs to prepare for banning and picking heroes.

As for the back-and-forth rhythm online.

To put it bluntly, it's essentially always the same few things.

Nothing new.

Just look at picture one and you'll be amused!
There's no need to take it too seriously.

People should be grounded in reality.

However, the reason Zhou Dian was able to remain so calm was...

The main reason is that this didn't happen to him.

In this day and age.

The online world and reality have long been deeply intertwined.

It's impossible to completely separate them.

The "cowardly lizard" rhetoric surrounding Uzi is clearly escalating.

Neither RNG nor Uzi can completely ignore the situation.

So, that evening.

RNG's official Weibo account and Uzi's personal Weibo account both released the same statement.

That means Uzi is indeed still recovering from a hand injury and is expected to miss all of RNG's summer regular season games before the Rift Rivals, before officially returning to the team at the Rift Rivals.
