Chapter 214: The advantage… is mine?

~7 min read 1,220 words

RNG vs G2.

Just over twelve minutes.

A jungler Male Gun.

He went Legendary.

This matter gave the LPL commentators a shock no less than that of a rural neon‑lit folk hearing city folk had eaten a huge mushroom—such a sudden realization and feeling lost left them speechless for a long time.

Mainly, this made them suddenly sober up.

Especially Wawa and Miller, who had previously been extremely optimistic, believing RNG could easily turn the tide.

What does going Legendary at 12 minutes mean?

Never mind how it happened; after commenting on matches for so long, for so many years, they've only seen this a couple of times.

In other words, even many matches that look like one‑sided stomps don't necessarily produce such exaggerated stats.

And those matches that can produce such exaggerated stats are undoubtedly strong teams vs weak teams, like S4's EDG versus EP; only a match with such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides can yield such KDA numbers. But—

RNG versus G2 should have been a stomp for RNG.

At least Wawa and Miller had always thought so; the natural sense of superiority that LPL fans feel when facing the Europe Region made them subconsciously believe it.

Exactly, they automatically adopted the perspective of LCK viewers when LCK plays LPL; even if their own economy was behind, they thought the opponent couldn't hold on and LCK would surely turn the tide.

However, that cry of 'Legendary' made them suddenly realize.

—Perhaps this match isn't as they imagined.

Perhaps RNG is not stomping G2.

Perhaps G2 is actually strong…

Let's look at the details:

As for total economy, G2 has consistently held the lead—no need to say more.

Even though G2's bot lane duo has been suppressed and constantly targeted by Malaxiangguo from the start to now, ignoring kills, their CS is only behind Uzi by less than thirty—normally, if they were truly being outclassed, Uzi should already be ahead of the enemy AD by over forty CS and start going on a rampage.

But the fact is, if Malaxiangguo's Blind Monk weren't coming, RNG's duo couldn't even push the lane, because the enemy's dual‑horse combo can clear a wave without cannon minions in about three seconds, and even with cannon minions only takes three or four seconds more.

As for mid lane, Xiaohu isn't even talking about gaining an advantage; the fact is, whether lane control or CS, he's constantly at a disadvantage.

Top lane… top lane is ruined.

You call this a stomp?

You say the European team can't hold?

They've already held steady for twelve minutes, and the gold gap is continually widening.

By now, G2 holds a gold lead of nearly four thousand!

G2 is definitely not a fluke!

They are not weak at all!

After finally realizing this, the two commentators could no longer stay optimistic, their expressions turned grave, and even Wawa stopped laughing.

"The gold gap seems a bit big…"

Wawa said softly, her voice tinged with a hint of unease.

Miller watched the Male Gun on the big screen clear a red buff in four seconds, falling into thought.

Guan Zeyuan only replied, "Indeed, it's a bit big," and then fell silent.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the livestream room turned somewhat cold and silent.

At the same time, some viewers also sensed something off; a faint undercurrent of tension began to stir beneath the calm surface:

【Holy shit, the Male Gun's green fork is out】

【Thirteen minutes, two items?】

【Just woke up and wanted to see if RNG won—what's going on?】

【I'll go first—how did they turn it around?】

【What turnaround? RNG has always been behind…】

【It's fine, Xiaogou has a big advantage!】

The Xiaogou with a big advantage is now sitting in the blue side RNG player's seat, lips tightly pressed, saying nothing.

"Male Gun, Male Gun, watch his position, bot lane be careful…"

"Jian Zhaohao, want to swap lanes?"

"No swap!"

"Go go go, push then hurry…"

"Don't pressure mid…"

"LiYuanhao, what the hell are you looking at?"

"Ultimate in 20 seconds…"

"Where's the Male Gun?"

"He went to clear the bottom, don't worry about him, look at me, look at me…"

Malaxiangguo and Mata's voices chattered in everyone's headsets, bringing a chaotic and tense atmosphere.

Just over thirteen minutes, with his ultimate refreshed, Malaxiangguo found an opening in mid lane and kicked the over‑extended Malzahar of Perkz back under the tower.

"Nice! Malaxiangguo's play this time snags another kill for RNG!"

Like an attempt to dispel the heavy air, Wawa shouted in surprise, and it did have some effect—the chat flooded with praises of Malaxiangguo being awesome.

But just as the atmosphere loosened a bit, Miller's few words quickly chilled it again:

"It's a shame the kill didn't go to Xiaohu, and since the wave couldn't be pushed, this kill might be rather… dry…"

How is one supposed to respond to that?

Wawa and Guan Zeyuan both remained silent.

Miller had no choice but to talk to himself:

「Um, saying it's dry is because the game has already reached mid-game, Mang Seng's impact from now on is continuously declining, later he's basically just a teamfight tool, if he takes too much economy his impact may not be that great. Conversely, Xiaohu's vampire is strong in mid-late game, if we can feed economy to him, RNG will be much easier to fight……」

「Wow, this person really……」

Wawa suddenly interjected.

In the picture, the male gunner came to Zhong Lu, with four basic attacks plus a Q, clearing a big wave in about three seconds, still with the cannon cart.

「It feels so great to clear. 」

Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but sigh.

At that moment, Malaxiangguo's Mang Seng appeared again near Xia Lu, ambushing in the Triangular Grass, trying to find a chance to Gank and push the minion wave to near the river mid lane where the G2 duo was, but because he had no true sight and hadn't swapped to scanning, he didn't realize he was standing in a ward.

Mang Seng's health was about half a bar.

The male gunner rushed over, gun raised, scanning from the river downstream, then hid at the bottom of Da Long Keng, back against the wall.

Soon after, the spot where Mang Seng was lit up with a red team signal.

The G2 duo then flanked in.

Malaxiangguo, seeing this, realized there was a ward here, but suffering from having no true sight, even knowing there was a ward he couldn't clear it, so he could only leave the grass and head toward Zhong Lu.

His jungle in the lower half had already been cleared, with no chance to act in Xia Lu, so he could only go to Shang Ban Qu to farm some jungle, return home to swap a set of equipment, then come out looking for an opportunity.

As a result, just as he walked behind the small dragon pit,

Swish!

What slid up from the mist-shrouded small dragon pit was

Then with a booming sound, Malaxiangguo noticed that the green health bar on his Mang Seng's head instantly dropped a large chunk.

When Malaxiangguo finally saw clearly, appearing before him was a tough guy holding a huge gun with a cigar in his mouth, the opponent's gun barrel raised again.
