Chapter 224

~7 min read 1,222 words

The two commentators did a crosstalk routine, and the RNG fans couldn't hold back.

The livestream atmosphere instantly became extremely complicated; simply put, most of the fans behind the screens had the same expression as Miller just had—laughing and crying at the same time.

But Miller's one remark about a "Chinese baby physique" reminded Wawa again, suddenly stirring something in his heart.

"Hey, don't say that—I just realized, I think Miller's right!"

"What did I say that makes sense?"

"G2 has two mid laners, right? And most of the time it's Jiao Shen on carry!"

"Hmm… you wouldn't be thinking…"

"I was just thinking—actually, if you look at G2 this way, they can be seen as an LPL team with three foreign imports, which is one more foreign than EDG and RNG, right? So is that the reasoning? Then could G2 be considered LPL's fourth seed?"

Guan Zeyuan grew more shocked the more he listened, his eyes widening, and he couldn't help letting out a sound after Wawa finished speaking.

"Ah?!"

That remark is even more absurd than using a fighter jet to take G2 out for Haidilao earlier.

Wawa probably said that because he'd watched the match until he felt suffocated, his brain oxygen‑starved and dizzy, just like some viewers in the chat who'd been frightened by the self‑suggestion "It's over, RNG will lose, LPL will be swept in the quarterfinals," giving themselves psychological prep in advance so they could comfort themselves if they actually lost.

"It's fine—this is just an LPL internal match; whoever wins doesn't lose!"

Guan Zeyuan and Miller knew this topic was off‑limits, so they didn't echo Wawa, just brushed it off with a couple of lines and moved on.

But as RNG's economic disadvantage grew and their win chance slimmed, Wawa, though he didn't mention the fourth seed idea again, couldn't help thinking about it more and more, and the more he thought, the more it seemed true.

So when RNG's crystal blew up, Wawa actually started thinking that G2 Zhong Ren's team logo looked not bad either, and then he loudly shouted that.

"Two‑zero! Congrats, G2!"

His voice boomed, startling the two commentators beside him who didn't dare to say congratulations.

The camera cut to the commentator desk; Miller watched Wawa reach down and pull the main mic switch on the commentator table, then took off his headset and asked, puzzled.

"Not Yan Ge, how come you look so happy? This isn't like you."

Amid the crowd cheering for G2, Wawa—whose real name is Yan Zijing—laughed and patted Miller's shoulder twice.

"I told you, G2 is LPL's fourth seed—seen this way it's correct!"

Miller opened his mouth but said nothing, then turned to glance at Guan Zeyuan; both thought this old buddy was a bit crazy.

Then, during the break before the third game, Miller went online again to check comments, wanting to see how netizens viewed the situation; what surprised him was that, although many were criticizing RNG, he could also see remarks like "G2 is LPL's fourth seed," which made him unable to stop speculating.

"Could it really be like that?"

"Then what is G2 thinking?"

G2 had even come to China before the playoffs……

Moreover, there were rumors that Snake's overseas training camp was based at G2 Ji Di……

Miller also wavered.

……

Zhihu, top hot:

【S6 World Championship quarterfinals elimination match, G2 leads RNG 2‑0 and holds three match points—how to evaluate this match?】

Under this question, in the previous pre‑match commentary that predicted RNG would sweep G2 3‑0 or 3‑1, the well‑known "dog shill" nicknamed "Xiagu Chai Qian Da Duizhang" had his answer again voted to the top by netizens—but this time it had nothing to do with RNG fans; it came from other fan groups pushing. His answer this time was just one sentence:

【Although the score surprised me, I still think RNG can win!】

And the top‑liked comments in the comment section are as follows:

【Give you a like, see how long you can keep talking tough】

【Let two chase three? Let three chase dreams!】

【You're not pretending to sleep, you're really blind】

【I'm a little puppy fan and I think it's basically over; are you pretending or really NC?】

……

RNG lounge.

Sanshao swept back a sweep of hair drenched with sweat and waved his hand weakly.

"Don't discuss it—listen to me, let's play a 4‑1 protect‑one next round……

Fly first froze for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

……

Europe commentator desk.

The three commentators sat behind the desk, all beaming, grinning ear to ear; on the big screen behind them, the large characters "G2 2‑0 RNG" were displayed.

Sjokz faced the camera with a beaming spring‑like face:

"Wow, I don't even know how they managed to get this far—it's absolutely crazy, RNG has already been pushed to the brink by G2!"

"At this crucial moment, please allow me to do something different!"

Sjokz said this, putting down her pen, standing up from behind the commentator desk, walking to the empty space beside her, the camera following her as she walked and spoke:

"What everyone is witnessing right now—everything happening live in Chicago is absolutely crazy! Below I want to say something specific——

Sjokz walked up to a huge screen.

The screen showed a frozen image of G2's jungler Firrrrrre smiling as he took off his headphones at the end of that match.

Sjokz today wore a black floral dress, a form-fitting cut, paired with a pair of shiny silver high heels, which accentuated her already tall figure, making her even more slender, graceful and poised, standing beside the screen.

Picture: Bible Sister

As the images on the screen shifted, Sjokz spoke emotionally:

All of this began with success (Itstartswithsuccess).

And the true meaning behind success is growth (Andsuccess,isallaboutgrowing)...

Sjokz delivered a three-minute speech, with varied and forceful pronunciation, refined and sophisticated wording, complemented by just-right microexpressions and gestures, her performance was nothing short of perfect.

Finally, she used an extremely infectious summary as a closing:

「As we all know later, they lost to LCK in MSI, lost to LPL, even lost to NA, reaping a series of epic defeats, returning in disgrace.

「That was a disgraceful performance, and what's worse is that after returning, G2 faced public condemnation and continuous internal betrayal, half of them bound to the cross of execution, half facing the abyss of dissolution.

「Just then, G2 encountered someone as if destined by fate.

「Firrrrrre, he came to G2, he brought G2 rebirth, renewal, change, and a regular-season 29-win streak and undefeated postseason championship!

「AndNow?

「NowWerehere.

「At the S6 World Championship quarterfinals venue, facing RNG, which LPL had high hopes for, while we were universally regarded as the underdog before the match.

「Uzi, the man who had twice come close to the pinnacle of the world, declared that he would win his first world championship……

「But so far, we have not witnessed the legendary dominance of LPL, nor have we seen Uzi's highlight reel.

「On the contrary, what we saw was Firrrrrre's dominance over the jungle!

「Now, everything will be decided in one battle; the match has entered the deciding game for the final match point! Inner demons can be overcome, dreams may be realized, and G2!

「They will represent all of Europe, brandishing the sharpest fangs to the world!
