RNG's Ruthless Scheme

Xu Junyan recognized the sender's number. His brows knit slightly as he thought, I still haven't blocked her number?

Block her first!

Only then did he reread the text message thoughtfully, understanding gradually dawning in his eyes.

Damon had said he was giving him until tonight as a final deadline. It seemed they had made their move early.

He opened Weibo and searched for RNG.

The official account's latest post had been made half an hour ago.

Sorry, this is a belated explanation. As everyone has discussed, our team did indeed encounter some problems during this year's World Championship.

Now, those problems have mostly been resolved, and Mud Monster has come to report the situation to everyone.

Coach Fire Fox has resigned to take responsibility and will no longer serve as RNG's head coach in the upcoming S8 season.

Top laner Silence has left the team for special reasons. We regret Silence's departure. Mud Monster did not force him to leave, but after realizing certain things himself, the player still chose to depart. When he left, he did not notify anyone at Mud Monster. In any case, we still wish Silence all the best.

This Weibo post alone did not actually reveal much. It merely said that one coach and one player had left.

However, a closer look revealed that RNG had been evasive in its description of Xu Junyan's departure, as though it were concealing something.

Most devastatingly, not long after RNG posted this official statement, several major verified accounts and public channels released "inside information."

League's Divine Assist: "According to reliable sources, the main reason Silence disconnected was that he threw the World Championship match! He was discovered by the others, which led to an argument in the lounge and caused everyone on RNG to perform poorly in the following three games as well! Apparently, Coach Feng's five Galio non-bans were also influenced by Silence."

Oh My God, League of Legends: "Shocking gossip—someone threw games! A friend of mine works inside RNG. Apparently, today's argument was extremely intense, and the match-throwing guy has already slunk out of the club."

What the Hell, What the Hell LOL: "We found the reason RNG lost to SKT in the semifinals. Letme saying they could really beat SKT if he got another chance was actually true. It was all because RNG put that guy on halfway through!"

LOL Fandom Central: "If you ask me, RNG's handling of this is still too gentle. They should just expose him outright. That guy is a sinner of the LPL—it was him! He stopped us in the quarterfinals during our most promising year."

Mud Monster's Home: "RNG is too kind. I'm crying. They were sabotaged like this, yet they still posted that they hoped the guy would be well."

The statements from those major Weibo accounts and public channels instantly stirred up a massive uproar, blowing up the atmosphere throughout the LPL community on Weibo.

"A thrown game? That guy threw games?"

"I knew something was wrong! RNG was so strong this year, yet they lost to SKT. It never made sense!"

"So there was actually this kind of inside story behind RNG losing to SKT in the semifinals?"

"One game, 3-8. I said it back then—this Silence guy definitely had a problem. No one believed me."

"Seriously, shouldn't match-throwing be severely punished? RNG doesn't need to be this gentle. Let that ungrateful bastard die!"

"If it weren't for him, RNG really could've won the championship this year!"

"Fuck! How did the LPL produce a parasite like this? I even thought this guy looked decent before, figured he had talent. Who knew you could never judge a person by appearances?"

"I suggest banning him permanently and kicking this kind of person out of the LPL!"

"That's right, the LPL doesn't welcome him! Make him get out—get as far away as possible. RNG may have shown mercy, but we won't!"

"What the hell is this? One rat dropping ruined the whole pot of soup for the LPL. He really deserves to die!"

"When I saw RNG's Weibo post, I was wondering how this guy attended a meeting and then sneaked off alone. Never did I expect he had a guilty conscience! /vomit"

"RNG must've had eight lifetimes of bad luck to recruit someone like this. Can't this rat dropping just die already?"

"..."

Xu Junyan scrolled through comment after comment on Weibo. He had thought he would be furious, furious enough to lose his mind. Yet after truly reading them all one by one, he found himself strangely calm.

It was exactly the same as when Damon had thrown him out as the scapegoat in RNG's meeting room, and when he had left the RNG base all alone. Utterly calm.

Because he had already seen through all of this, this little mess was no longer worth getting angry over.

Though the reality was that RNG had played even dirtier than he had imagined. They were practically trying to wipe him out completely.

He absolutely did not believe RNG had not manipulated things behind the scenes with those major Weibo accounts and public channels.

And because of RNG's multi-pronged manipulation, they had now become perfect white-lotus victims, earning the sympathy of countless LPL viewers while using public opinion to crush him into someone universally reviled—even though those major Weibo accounts and public channels had no evidence at all. Every excuse they gave boiled down to things like "apparently" and "I have a friend."

Of course, amid the countless curses and condemnations, a few clear-headed LPL fans did question the truth of the matter. But in the blink of an eye, such comments were drowned out and swallowed up. Their posters were cursed along with them and even branded "Xu fanboys." Over time, naturally fewer and fewer people spoke up for him.

Xu Junyan calmly read comments for two hours, clearly witnessing how, in only a few short hours, the LPL had completely formed the bizarre culture that "cursing him" was positive energy.

Ding-dong!

Another message flashed on his phone.

It was from Fire Fox.

I told you already, one person can't fight a club. You didn't believe me, and now you're screwed. Hurry back and admit your mistake. Maybe there is still a way to fix this.

Xu Junyan looked at the message and sneered twice. Then his expression returned to calm as he replied, "Do you know what kind of person is the most disgusting?"

The other side sent a "?"

"Someone who takes a bite and realizes it's shit, then willingly turns back into a dog and keeps eating it." After replying, Xu Junyan immediately blocked him.

Fire Fox should have been the person most likely to stand on the same side as him, yet because he was cowardly and afraid of trouble, he had accepted all of this. It was rather laughable.

Ding!

Suddenly, a strange yet crisp notification sounded.

Xu Junyan froze.

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

Because your words were extremely insulting and highly damaging, you broke Fire Fox's defenses and triggered the drop mechanism. The enraged Firefox dropped the title—"Heh~! I Just Won't Ban Galio."

Title "Heh~! I Just Won't Ban Galio" description: When Galio does not appear in the ban slots during a game, the host's game sense, overall awareness, and other higher-level thinking abilities are raised to SSS rank—that is, beyond professional level.
