RNG's Ruthless Dirty Trick

Xu Junyan recognized the sender's number and frowned slightly. I haven't even blocked her number yet?

First, I'll block her!

Afterward, he thoughtfully reread the text message, his gaze gradually gaining some understanding.

Damon had given him a deadline of tonight, and it seemed they had decided to make their move early.

He opened Weibo and searched for RNG.

The official Weibo's latest post was made half an hour ago.

[Apologies, this is a belated explanation. As everyone has been discussing, our team did indeed encounter some internal issues during this year's World Championship.

Now, the issues have been largely resolved, and Mud Monster is here to report to everyone.

Coach Fire Fox has resigned in the face of accountability and will no longer serve as RNG's head coach in the upcoming S8 season.

Top laner Silence has left the team due to special circumstances. We regret the departure of Silence. Mud Monster did not force him to leave, but this player, after realizing certain things, decided to leave on his own. He did not notify anyone from Mud Monster when he left. Regardless, we still wish Silence all the best.]

This Weibo post alone didn't convey much, just that a coach and a player had left the team.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see that RNG's description of Xu Junyan's departure was vague, suggesting they were hiding something.

Most critically, not long after RNG posted this official Weibo update, several large official accounts on WeChat and Weibo sent out "insider information."

[League's Divine Assist]: "According to reliable sources, the main reason Silence disconnected was that he was involved in match-fixing during that World Championship match! He was discovered by others, which led to an argument in the lounge, causing all of RNG to perform poorly in the subsequent three games! It's rumored that Coach Feng's five bans of Galio were also influenced by Silence's suggestion."

[League of Legends, My God]: "Shocking gossip, someone was match-fixing! I have a friend who works inside RNG. It's said that the argument today was very heated, and the match-fixing player has already shamefully left the club."

[What the Heck LOL]: "The reason RNG lost to SKT in the semifinals has been found. Letme said that if given another chance, they could have really beaten SKT, and it's all because RNG put that person in midway!"

[LOL Big Fan Circle]: "If you ask me, RNG's handling of this is too lenient. They should have exposed him directly. That person is a sinner of the LPL, it's him! He's the reason we stopped at the quarterfinals in the year we had the most hope."

[Mud Monster's Home]: "RNG is too kind, I'm crying. They were screwed over like this, and they still posted wishing that person all the best."

The posts from these major Weibo and WeChat accounts instantly stirred up a storm, igniting the entire LPL community on Weibo.

"Match-fixing? That guy match-fixed?"

"I knew something was off! RNG was so strong this year, and they lost to SKT, it just didn't make sense!"

"So that's the inside story behind RNG losing to SKT in the semifinals?"

"I said it when he went 3-8 in his one match, this guy named Silence definitely had issues, but no one believed me back then."

"Seriously, match-fixing should be severely punished, right? RNG doesn't need to be so lenient. Let that ungrateful wretch die!"

"If it wasn't for him, RNG would have had a real chance to win the championship this year!"

"F***! How could the LPL produce such a parasite? I even thought this guy looked good and was talented before, but I didn't expect him to be so two-faced."

"I suggest a complete ban, get this kind of person out of the LPL!"

"That's right, the LPL doesn't welcome him! Let him scram, the further the better. RNG showed mercy, but we won't!"

"What the hell is this? One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel of LPL. He truly deserves to die!"

"When I was looking at RNG's Weibo, I was wondering why this person just slipped away alone after a meeting. I never expected he had a guilty conscience! /vomits"

"RNG was really unlucky to recruit someone like this. Can this kind of rotten apple just die off completely?"

"..."

Xu Junyan scrolled through comment after comment on Weibo. He thought he would be furious, driven mad with anger, but after reading them all, he found himself surprisingly calm.

It was the same calmness he felt in the RNG meeting room when Damon threw him under the bus as a scapegoat, and the same calmness he felt when he left the RNG base all alone.

Because he had already seen through all of this, this little incident wasn't worth his anger anymore.

Although, the reality was that RNG played even more ruthlessly than he had imagined, essentially trying to eliminate him completely.

He absolutely did not believe that RNG wasn't manipulating things behind the scenes with those Weibo and WeChat accounts.

And it was precisely because of RNG's multi-pronged manipulation that they had successfully portrayed themselves as innocent victims, garnering sympathy from countless LPL viewers, while completely crushing him with public opinion into an object of universal scorn. This was despite the fact that these major accounts had no real evidence, with all their claims stemming from "rumors" and "I have a friend."

Of course, amidst the endless insults and scorn, there were a few clear-headed LPL fans who raised questions, doubting the authenticity of the matter. However, in the blink of an eye, such comments would be drowned out, swallowed up, and the commenters themselves would be insulted, even labeled as "blind fanboys." Over time, the number of people speaking up for him naturally dwindled.

Xu Junyan calmly browsed comments for two hours and clearly witnessed how, in just a few hours, the LPL had completely formed a bizarre atmosphere where "cursing him" was considered positive energy.

Ding dong!

Another message flashed on his phone.

It was from Fire Fox.

[I told you, one person can't fight an entire club. You didn't believe me, and now it's over. Come back and apologize quickly, maybe there's still a way to fix things.]

Xu Junyan looked at the message and let out a cold laugh, his expression then returning to calm. He replied, "Do you know what kind of person is the most disgusting?"

The other side sent back a "?".

[Someone who takes a bite, discovers it's shit, but willingly turns back to be a dog and continues to gnaw on shit.] Xu Junyan replied, then immediately blocked the number.

Fire Fox was the one person who should have stood on his side, but because of his cowardice and fear, he accepted all of this. It was quite laughable.

'Ding!'

Suddenly, a strange and crisp prompt sound rang out.

Xu Junyan was startled.

A long string of text prompts suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Due to your highly insulting and extremely damaging remarks, the Fire Fox's firewall was broken, triggering a drop mechanism. The enraged Firefox has dropped the title - 'I just don't ban Galio'.]

[Title 'I just don't ban Galio' Annotation: When Galio does not appear in the ban list during a game, the host's game sense, macro awareness, and other cognitive abilities will be elevated to SSS-rank, i.e., super-professional level.]
