RNG vs. Snake: The Next Match

Chen Yi's expression seemed to be noticed, and Su Nuan asked with a hint of worry, "What's wrong? You look a little unwell."

"It's nothing! I might just be tired from playing so many matches."

"Get some good rest."

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled.

Playing against RNG was important.

But... not worrying Su Nuan was even more important.

As the opponent was confirmed, discussions online began to increase, especially since Chen Yi's previous remarks were dug up.

[Playing professionally? I'm not interested, but beating dogs, I can do that.]

To be honest!

During his stream, Chen Yi was just a small streamer.

Not many people paid attention, but as his fame grew, everything he did before would be magnified infinitely. It was the same now.

[A rookie ADC, what's with all the arrogance?]

[He hasn't seen what a true strong ADC is. In front of UZI, he's nothing!]

[But UZI seemed to lose to him in a Public Match, and even got completely destroyed.]

[Can that be compared? Can a Public Match be compared to a professional match?]

[I watched that game. The jungler was sleepwalking, the top laner was useless, the mid laner was a camper, and the support was trash. How could they not lose with teammates like that?]

[Yeah! You think he could win with different teammates?]

[I get it!]

Seeing these comments, many people had strange expressions.

Good grief!

So, if they lost the match, it was all the teammates' fault.

Perhaps some of it was exaggerated!

But the hype for this match was definitely the highest in the group stage for a long time, because many people knew that this was UZI's revenge match.

It was also a team's chance to prove themselves.

And on the RNG side, when they learned their opponent was Snake...

RNG was dismissive.

"Snake? That's the team that got wrecked in the bo10? What's there to worry about? Just play casually!"

Who else would say something like that other than UZI?

UZI!

Doggo!

Doggo this year was not yet mature.

He hadn't become a father!

He hadn't experienced the harshness of society, nor had he been screwed over by RNG's contracts.

He was so full of spirit.

Arrogant.

Even coach Fire Fox didn't dare to say anything about these remarks because his position was different. Many players actively joined RNG.

After going through layers of selection, they became a member of RNG.

But UZI!

He was invited to RNG, a distinguished guest in the team. His status was naturally high. Who would dare to refute him? UZI even glanced at the time and said:

"After this match, it'll be Chinese New Year, and then it's time for vacation. Why don't I take a few days off early? How about leaving this match to Wuxin?"

"That..."

Fire Fox hesitated. This wasn't according to the rules.

"Are you going to let me off or not? Hurry up and say it... Stop being indecisive."

"..."

Fire Fox took a deep breath, and finally his gaze fell on his assistant, Xiao Ma.

Offend UZI?

He wouldn't dare!

But others he could. So, this bad deed had to be handed over to someone else. And that person was the assistant. Xiao Ma understood immediately and said:

"Using a substitute against Snake? It's not impossible, but... I'm afraid people online will say you're scared of him!"

"Scared? Me? Scared of a nobody rookie? Why? Do these people online have any brains?"

"If we were strangers, this wouldn't happen, but you've met before!"

"????"

Initially, UZI wasn't very interested, and he generally didn't browse the internet.

After all, there were too many people cursing him.

Seeing too much of it would disrupt his mindset, so it was better not to look.

In this era of information cocoons, as long as you didn't actively seek it out, neither browsers nor short video platforms would push such content to you.

Naturally, he wouldn't know about the esports scene.

Therefore, UZI didn't know the specific details about this snake, only that there was a female player. But he wasn't very interested in women.

However, Xiao Ma had just said they had met before.

This made him a bit curious.

"Who?"

"Take a look yourself..."

Xiao Ma put the content from Tieba onto a tablet. As soon as he saw everything clearly, UZI's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He would never forget this ID.

If it hadn't affected his mindset, he wouldn't have been looked down upon by Ao Mimi for days.

He thought he would never see them again, but unexpectedly, this person had joined snake. He immediately spoke, "Good! Very good. I'll be playing in this match. I don't mind going a little harder, do you?"

"Of course, I don't mind. But may I ask how much harder you plan to go?"

"He killed me eight times. Is it too much for me to kill him sixteen times in two games?"

"What if it goes to three games? We won't play a third game. Xiao Ming, log in too. Stop watching Battle Through the Heavens, look how they've butchered it, and you're still watching? Hurry up and duo queue with me!"

"..."

There was no choice!

Xiao Ming had to put aside his hobby and begin his journey in the Rift.

After the two of them settled down, Huo Hu also returned to his office. As he sat in his chair, he rubbed his temples with a slight headache, while also feeling a sense of relief.

UZI was worked up, so the provocation method was very effective.

But this wouldn't do!

At this moment, Xiao Ma spoke, "UZI has always been like this, why does RNG..."

He didn't continue speaking towards the end, choosing to imply instead.

But even without the implication, Huo Hu understood clearly, saying, "We're playing matches! Results are the most important thing. Everything else is just fluff, as long as it's not a matter of principle."

"As long as you have enough strength, everything can be resolved!"

"Things like sleeping with fans or getting a girl pregnant! These aren't really anything, and besides, you know I need UZI more than RNG does. You understand what I mean, right?"

"..."

Xiao Ma nodded and didn't say anything further.

The reason!

It was naturally because of the non-compete agreement Huo Hu had signed, which required him to achieve results, and to achieve results, he needed... UZI. Perhaps his personality had issues, but to many, he was still the LPL's number one ADC.

"Then this time..."

"Forget it! Help me find the data on snake's bottom lane and study it..."

"Okay!"

Studying opponents was the job of the coaching staff.

It was the same for RNG, and for snake as well. At this moment, Jun was in top form. If it were before, he would have been prepared to just coast for a year.

But with Chen Yi and Su Nuan joining, it had ignited his passion.

They were determined to achieve good results this year. Therefore, they put a lot of effort into studying RNG, and to defeat RNG, they had to start from the bottom lane. After the meeting ended, Su Nuan actually felt a bit nervous, especially after leaving the room.

She grabbed Chen Yi's hand and said, "What do we do? We're playing against UZI tomorrow. Aren't you nervous at all? I'm a little scared right now!"

"..."

What's there to be afraid of?

Before Chen Yi could speak, he noticed the gazes from his teammates.

Then he heard a wave of system prompts.

Hm!

Another wave of dog food value had refreshed.

Envy and jealousy, but there was nothing he could do. Who could blame them when they were a couple?

Did yesterday's match start? Woohoo! With his strength regressed by five years, this was also General Hu Da's first time advancing to the finals.
