In the second game, Xiaohu got his wish and was placed in the mid lane. Letme was on his team and got the top lane, both in their preferred roles.
"It really is!"
"666! The 1v1 man-to-man battle immediately turned into brotherly love, huh?"
"They queued up together, can you believe it."
"Since that's the case, will that trash top laner and that actor mid laner from last game be on the enemy team? /sweat"
"Damn! There's no way that's not possible!"
"Haha! This is hilarious, they're trying to be disgusting before the game even starts, huh? Xiaohu, crush them!"
"RNG's mid and top laners are on the same team, how are they supposed to win?"
"Just go with what you're best at. I suggest after the game, ask them on the public chat, 'Can pro players carry?'"
"Yes, yes! I love these kinds of satisfying comeback games! /grinning"
"..."
Xiaohu, still reeling from the earlier verbal assault, initially only noticed that he and Letme were on the same team. He hadn't paid attention to anything else.
When he saw the comments in the stream, his expression changed, and he immediately started scheming.
A satisfying comeback game?
A surge of anger and desire for revenge welled up inside him. Xiaohu subtly sent Letme a message.
"Two jerks argued with me last game. They might be on the enemy team. Pick someone you're good with and crush them!"
On the surface, Xiaohu maintained a nonchalant attitude, saying, "There's no need to play what we're best at. It's just ranked, everyone's practicing heroes."
He didn't mention being insulted on the public chat last game, acting completely unfazed. However, when it was his turn to pick a hero, he quickly locked in Corki, the top OP mid-lane hero of the current patch.
Letme, after receiving Xiaohu's message, also put on a show in his stream before locking in Renekton.
Besides Xiaohu and Letme being on the same team, the two RNG fans who had been aggressively flattering on the public chat last game, [damengyichang] and [aqcft], were also on their team.
As expected, these two duo-queue sycophants were once again showering praise before the game, expressing their loyalty to RNG. They also mentioned the possibility of facing the same mid and top laners from the previous game, begging for a carry to crush the enemy and deliver a satisfying blow!
Xiaohu and Letme, of course, arrogantly pretended not to see them, only glancing occasionally to satisfy their own vanity.
The game quickly began.
In this match, Xiaohu and Letme were on the blue side, while the enemy team was on the red side. From top to bottom, the matchups were Renekton vs. Camille, Sejuani vs. Rek'Sai, Corki vs. Ryze, Caitlyn vs. Ashe, and Janna vs. Tahm Kench.
During the game loading screen, all the viewers in Xiaohu's stream quickly focused on the enemy mid and top laners.
Mid laner [Want to breathe], nickname √
Top laner [minnaaQAQ], nickname √
In an instant, the viewers in Xiaohu's stream became even more agitated, their faces flushed with excitement as they cursed:
"They really are on the enemy team!"
"Crush them! Just crush them!"
"Type on the public chat after the game, damn it!"
"Demolish these two losers and let them know exactly what they're made of! I'm dying of laughter, mocking pro players, how dare they?"
Xiaohu subtly curled his lips, inwardly cursing, "What the hell are you acting like! Mocking me, what kind of trash are you."
Beside him, Letme, who was also streaming, appeared indifferent. He pointed at his opposing top laner and said, "This is the guy who mocked Li Yuanhao, right? Haha, all I can tell you is that he won't be able to say a single word later. What do you guys want to see him develop?"
Letme's stream immediately erupted in a frenzy of excitement. The viewers were actually directing comments in the stream about how Letme would dominate Camille.
Because [minnaaQAQ] had been so aggressive and harsh on the public chat in the previous game, it had deeply hurt the fragile and sensitive hearts of many die-hard RNG fans. Many had even come from Xiaohu's stream to Letme's stream, wanting to see how Letme would crush [minnaaQAQ], thereby venting their own anger!
The game quickly started. Letme noticed the sudden surge in his stream's popularity, with the chat filled with angry curses directed at his opposing top laner.
Letme couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "Who else could you have offended, but RNG? The last top laner who went against RNG like this is already finished."
If there was anyone happiest about Xu Junyan leaving RNG, it was undoubtedly him, as he also played top lane. Xu Junyan's position overlapped with his!
And because he played top lane, he knew very well that Xu Junyan was stronger than him in many aspects. His own strengths were merely 'stability,' while Xu Junyan was more of a perfect all-around player. The reason his career had been intermittent for years was simply because Xu Junyan insisted on finishing his university studies, which had given him many opportunities to play.
This year, Xu Junyan had finished university, and he was the most anxious. Fortunately, at this critical moment, Xu Junyan was used as a pawn by RNG's management and discarded, which allowed him to firmly secure the starting top lane position for RNG, capitalizing on the massive marketing buzz from RNG.
On the public chat, after the initial positioning, Letme, in line with his viewers' desires and also out of a peculiar sense of revenge against other top laners, typed:
"ting shuo ni kan bu qi zhi ye xuan shou?"
"I pro too."
There was no response to these two questions.
A smug smile spread across Letme's face. He sarcastically said, "Why did this brother suddenly go silent? Li Yuanhao, didn't you say he was quite talkative earlier? Is he finally scared now?"
"Haha!"
"Nonsense! He just wasn't facing the right opponent earlier. Isn't he facing the right one now? /smirk"
"This trash must be regretting it immensely right now!"
"Quickly ask him 'you pro?' If he's not a pro player, how could he have looked down on pro players earlier?"
Xiaohu was ecstatic internally, but he put on a good act and said, "That's enough, this brother might have just been in a bad mood earlier, which is why he spoke so rudely. Isn't the player I'm matched against also staying silent?"
"General Hu is warming my heart to death."
"You can be warmed by this? Hu, but I'm not surprised at all that Xiaohu would say something like this."
"That's right, after all, the RNG club even treated that ungrateful wretch Silence with gentleness. The most humane club in the LPL, I'm crying."
"Yeah, but while you might be humane, this world is full of idiots and morons."
"Like the enemy top laner? /side-eye"
The viewers in both their streams were being sarcastic. The two RNG fanboys duo-queuing in the bot lane were also sparing no effort to type out [minnaaQAQ] on the public chat.
Even though the game hadn't officially started yet, these RNG fans seemed to have inexplicably fallen into a state of euphoria.
Until a flustered curse suddenly rang out.
"Holy crap!"
