Alliance: If you block my contract, I will just start!

Quan Zhonghe really wanted to mock Shen Lang on Weibo to avenge the previous insult.

However, thinking about the countless times he had been slapped in the face by Shen Lang before the game, he finally suppressed his inner impulse.

"It's not too late to taunt after the game is over, but I can think about the content of the taunt first."

Quan Zhonghe thought to himself.

He is not like Shen Lang, who can easily come up with all kinds of rude words. He can only think ahead, for fear that he will not be able to exert his full strength after RNG defeats EDG at the end of the game.

However, Quan Zhonghe did not say anything. Instead, Shen Lang posted a Weibo after the game:

"Congratulations to @RNG Club for defeating SDG!"

An excited expression is added at the end.

When netizens saw this Weibo post at first, they didn’t quite understand. RNG defeated SDG, so why are you, Shen Lang, so happy?

However, netizens quickly came to their senses.

"Brother Weiwu wants to bully RNG again!"

"Brother Weiwu is addicted to mocking RNG, right? He is afraid that RNG will be eliminated by SDG."

"He's not afraid of losing to RNG. To be honest, RNG is in top form today. Being strong in the regular season doesn't mean they'll be strong in the playoffs."

"Brother Weiwu would be afraid? When has he ever been afraid?"

……

July 4th, Saturday.

Amid the anticipation of netizens, the match between RNG and EDG finally arrived.

"Why don't we let the substitute play first today?"

On the bus heading to the competition venue, Shen Lang said with interest.

This almost scared Abu next to him: "Brother, you are really my brother, can we stop making trouble? The playoffs are not the regular season. If we lose the game, the spring season will be over."

"Besides, you don't want to be ridiculed by Kwon Jong Hyuk after losing the game, right? Now is not the time to be lazy. Let's wait until the spring season is over before we have a good rest, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang nodded slightly.

It seems to be true. The main reason is that the performance of Jiejie and Abin is not very stable now. Otherwise, for the sake of the system reward, Shen Lang would have to let RNG win two games first.

Seeing that Shen Lang didn't mention letting the substitutes play again, Abu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He has a hard time being a manager!

I have to coax Shen Lang like I am coaxing a child.

But there is no way around it. He is a big shot. Managers of other clubs can't even appease him. This can be considered a happy trouble.

Everyone soon arrived at the competition venue.

When he got off the car and entered the lounge, he happened to meet the RNG team. Under Kwon Jong Hyuk's murderous gaze, Shen Lang smiled and greeted Uzi and the others:

"Play well in today's game. If you guys don't feel the intensity, I'll send substitutes to play."

After saying this, the RNG players rolled their eyes.

"When it comes to pretending, you're the best. I'll beat you up today to show you what strength is."

Xiaohu responded stubbornly.

"Then it's settled. Let's try to be stronger today. Don't buy Mercury's Boots right at the start. Your spell power will be lower than your magic resistance later in the game."

Shen Lang teased with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiaohu's face turned red immediately. He knew that he was no match for Shen Lang in terms of verbal attacks, so he stopped talking and pretended to be dead as he quickly walked towards the lounge.

"Ha ha--"

Seeing this, Shen Lang burst into laughter.

The two teams went into the lounge to rest, and the director turned the camera to the commentary booth at this time.

"Hello everyone, this is the second round of the 2019 LPL Spring Playoffs. Today we are playing against EDG and RNG. I believe everyone has read about the feud between the two teams online before the game, so let's look forward to today's game. I am Guan Zeyuan, the commentator of this game."

"I'm Rita."

"I'm Shaggy."

Like many netizens, Guan Zeyuan was also very much looking forward to today's game, so he appeared very excited in the commentary booth.

"We all know that this season was very difficult for EDG. The jungler Qijiang became the coach, the mid laner Xiaoxiaodi left the team, and Weiwuge switched from top lane to mid lane. Two new players were added to the team. Now they can be said to be a brand new team."

"What surprised me the most was that they developed such tacit understanding after only four games in the regular season, and the two new players also adapted to the LPL game rhythm in such a short time and performed at a very high level in the subsequent games. With Weiwu in the front and Jiejie and Bin in the back, I can only say that EDG is a team blessed by the goddess of luck."

"In comparison, RNG has basically not changed since last season, except that the top laner has been replaced by AJ. The old rivals full of grudges in the past meet again, one has hardly changed, and the other has become a brand new face. It's a bit like a clash between the conservatives and the innovators. Who will have the last laugh? Let us wait and see."

……

After a brief warm-up by the commentator, the pre-match announcement session soon began, with the director presenting the pre-match nonsense that had been recorded in advance to the audience.

"I will never be suppressed by Brother Weiwu again in the playoffs!"

Xiaohu appeared on the screen with a serious face, but what he said made the audience burst into laughter.

When others say dirty talk, they mean to beat up their opponents, but when it comes to Xiaohu, it becomes "I will never be suppressed", and I lose a lot in momentum.

The audience couldn't help but think of some netizens' speculation after the regular season RNG and EDG game ended -

The reason why RNG lost to SDG in the regular season was that Xiaohu was psychologically traumatized by Shen Lang in the previous game. This can also explain why Xiaohu chose to make mercury shoes first when he had an advantage in the laning phase.

However, this speculation was questioned by many people at that time. No one thought that Xiaohu, as a professional player, would be so fragile. But now it seems that the netizens' speculation is true.

"I see a lot of people discussing our competition with RNG online. In my opinion, this is meaningless. I don't think RNG will be an obstacle for us in the spring season."

"I don't feel any pressure when laning against Xiaohu in the middle lane. There is no difference between me and AI. If you want to avoid being suppressed by me, my advice is to stop thinking about your Mercury's Boots and Banshee."

In comparison, Shen Lang's pre-match declaration was undoubtedly more aggressive, and cheers immediately broke out from the audience.

This is the pre-match chatter they want to see.

Afterwards, other players from the two teams spoke one after another, but compared with Shen Lang's, what they said could be described as elegant and easy-going.

"Through the pre-match declaration, we can see that the players of both teams are determined to win today's game. The referee in the background also reminded us that the players' equipment has been debugged. Without further ado, let's move on to the BP phase of the first game. EDG is on the blue side, RNG is on the red side...
