Chapter 226: Lawyer's Letter Warning

17 minutes 57 seconds, RNG's crystal exploded.

On the LPL commentary desk, Miller welled up with sorrow, choking as he shouted loudly:

"Congratulations, G2!"

"Three to zero!"

"The RNG we had high hopes for…… actually fell in the quarterfinals (voice cracking)!"

Guan Zeyuan saw Miller was about to break down, and hurriedly took over with passionate enthusiasm:

"And who could have imagined that, in this version where the average game length is close to 40 minutes, G2 actually played a match whose length was less than half the average!"

"This Bo5, at the start, could perhaps be said that RNG was taking them lightly."

"But G2, with the momentum of breaking bamboo, swept three straight games to tell us——no, even without taking them lightly, they are the side with greater strength!"

"And we, from the very beginning, severely underestimated this team's strength!"

"Now, this Bo5 has ended."

"With RNG's defeat, the entire LPL's S6 journey also came to an end."

"But no matter what, we want to thank G2, for showing us our shortcomings, and at the same time congratulate G2, congratulate Firrrrrre player and Island player, hoping they can carry some people's hopes and continue forward!"

A small number of fans who had crossed oceans to attend the scene to support RNG, amidst the thousands chanting "G2, G2, G2", turned deathly pale, feeling as if the sky had collapsed.

……

China, Shanghai, VG Ji Di.

"Holy shit! Holy shit holy shit!"

"G2 is awesome!"

"They really made it to the semifinals, holy shit! Bro! Three-zero RNG, G2 is so awesome!"

Although we already sensed G2 had the upper hand when RNG lost two matches in a row, when the third match RNG's crystal actually exploded and the Bo5 outcome settled at three-zero, VG team leader Wang Liangyi still jumped up excitedly and shouted in shock.

Gao Jun, the manager, however remained calm, sitting on the sofa, waiting for Wang Liangyi to vent and sit down before smiling and saying:

"Tomorrow you take my documents over, first get the visa sorted, let's prepare in advance."

Wang Liangyi froze upon hearing that:

"Why get a visa? Are you going abroad?"

Gao Jun directly raised a hand and gave Wang Liangyi's head a flick, laughing and scolding:

"Otherwise wait until their transfer period to talk? The yellow flowers will be cold!"

Wang Liangyi stood there dazed, his mind still not turning.

Gao Jun sighed; this kid is fine handling team leader duties, but if he's to be trained as my successor, his mind seems not up to it.

He could only explain in a couple sentences.

Gao Jun pointed to the young person holding a microphone on the big screen in the lounge area, standing center stage preparing to accept an interview, and said solemnly:

"If you want to achieve results in our line of work, you have to look one step further than others……"

Wang Liangyi thought, we haven't achieved anything these years either. But facing his superior, he didn't dare to talk back, so Wang Liangyi listened quietly.

"Regardless of whether he ultimately makes it to the finals, just being able to bring the newly reorganized G2 from the summer season into the semifinals is already a one-in-a-million treasure; who knows how many people have already set their sights on him, you know?"

"They say contact is prohibited during the contract period, but I guarantee someone will slip him a little card under his door tonight, believe it or not?"

Wang Liangyi heard about the little card, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Then he got another smack on the head.

Facing the manager's white-eyed stare, Wang Liangyi gave a hehe embarrassed laugh twice, rubbed his head and said:

"You say, you continue speaking!"

Gao Jun pondered for a moment, then spoke earnestly:

"Wang Liangyi, Liang Xiaoyi, over all these years, have you calculated how much money our boss has invested? (clap clap), this is all money! Pure silver! Splashed out with a splatter, damn it, not even a splash made, let alone a league championship, at least make it to a world tournament once to show foreigners what our team emblem looks like—nothing!"

Having said that, Gao Jun sighed heavily again and continued:

"We can't always rely on those Dota guys to hold up the club's face; we over here also need to exert some effort, right? Always being a vampire, does your conscience feel at ease? Anyway I can't, my conscience has been tormenting me all along!"

This old-fashioned tone made Wang Liangyi vaguely see the manager, only twenty-something, suddenly grow a full head of white hair, for a moment giving off a bleak, desolate air.

The kid's eyes instantly reddened:

"Manager! Don't give me eye drops, I'm going! No matter coaxing or deceiving, anyway I'll bring that person back for you!"

"Kidnap your sister's kidnapping!"

Gao Jun slapped down, giving the kid a dizzying smack.

"You…… why are you hitting me again……"

"What are you going to do, you don't have the qualifications— I have to go!"

"Then I'll get you a visa……"

"Eh, this is right... or maybe not."

"What's up again?"

"Let's wait and see, just in case……"

"Just in case?"

"If he makes it to the finals, then probably Elder Brother Lu himself would have to step in."

Having said that, Gao Jun seemed to think of something urgent, his expression suddenly turning grim, he pondered a moment, then abruptly rose and ran upstairs, muttering to himself:

"No no, I really need to first find Elder Brother Lu to discuss, see if we have enough money next year, this Redmi ran off and we still need to supplement our coach, sigh, truly damn painful……"

Wang Liangyi scratched his head in confusion.

No, what's the fuss about?

The finals?

It's just not possible, no matter how you think.

That's SKT, after all.

……

North America, Chicago Theatre.

Backstage G2 lounge.

The big screen on the wall was playing a live interview, the sound of applause filling the venue came through the speakers, while everyone chatted quietly with giggles, watching Liang Yan show off on screen.

Ka Lao Si was holding his phone, messing around with something.

The screen showed the Weibo interface.

Ka Lao Si was posting on Weibo.

He had saved several screenshots, all from when he openly mocked and ridiculed under the G2 official account, saying G2 would be crushed by RNG and then RNG fans would wildly like and push his comments to the top of the comment section.

Ka Lao Si carefully matched the speakers' IDs, @-ed them one by one, attached the screenshot evidence, and finally edited the text:

【RNG 3:0 G2? NO!】

【G2 3:0 RNG, YES!】

【@Sanshao, and you too!】

【Come on! Let's duel! I have the whole night to chat with you!】

Finished editing, sent!

Ka Lao Si raised his head, exhaled, and felt refreshed.

Just then, the TV interview host asked:

"I just heard some rumors saying that because among G2's five starting players, you and Island are the two mid laners, so G2 can be considered the LPL's fourth seed. Regarding this claim, how does player Firrrrrre view it?"

Liang Yan visibly froze for a moment.

"Sorry, could you say that again?"

The host then repeated the question.

Liang Yan immediately shook his head after hearing it, raised the microphone, and solemnly faced the camera:

"Do not believe rumors, do not spread rumors."

"Our boss likes to be nitpicky; be careful or he'll send you a lawyer's letter."
