Chapter 651: Doctor Sister Won

After EDG was swiftly beaten by SSG, the piglet fans started again in the LPL livestream room trying to summon the manager, but it was pointless— the manager wasn't even on EDG's roster; they probably don't even know where he's playing mahjong with Uzi.

However, the opponent was after all the strong enemy Three Star that had cut off Snake's dark horse run last year; no matter how loudly the commentators had praised them beforehand, the audience had already expected EDG's loss, so LPL netizens didn't blame EDG too much.

The day's schedule entered the second half.

In game four, VG took the stage again, facing the LMS region's fourth seed M17, and won easily without trouble, helping the LPL region secure its second point.

After this match ended, Wawa exclaimed delightedly: "VG's luck today isn't bad! In two consecutive appearances, they've run into the opposing region's fourth seed both times!"

Miller, however, looked worried, frowning: "This isn't a good thing— even LMS is now playing Tian Ji's horse race; it feels like our plan might have been leaked."

Guan Zeyuan also wore a solemn expression: "Indeed, VG has run into the opposing fourth seed in two straight matches; if it's coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence……"

In game five, RNG faced the LMS region's second seed AHQ; after a battle lasting nearly forty minutes, RNG was defeated.

The LPL livestream room exploded instantly.

The commentators fell silent for a long time, and Wawa stiffly tried to salvage RNG's reputation:

"Uh…… we actually lost this match— nobody really expected that; we had thought we could secure it easily……

"But I think it's somewhat understandable, after all they are also the LMS region's second seed, and could even be called a first seed, since their current summer season points are equal to those of the first seed Flash Wolves; they're only second because their minor‑round points are one point less than Flash Wolves'.

"And RNG is our third seed; moreover, RNG's situation is the same as VG's— because core player Uzi's wrist is injured, he hasn't played a single game in the summer season, so RNG has always been fighting at less than full strength……

What Wawa said was also factual: before the summer season began, RNG's official Weibo posted a notice claiming Uzi needed to rest due to his wrist injury. Since then, Uzi has never appeared on the stage, and his streams are extremely rare— just like the manager, he's practically vanished from the LPL.

The two legendary veterans going on hiatus at the same time stirred many longtime LPL viewers' sentiments.

After Uzi's hiatus, RNG started the summer season's first match by sending out the long‑bench player Wuxx (WUXX); they lost 0‑2 to WE, and Wuxx was then relegated back to the bench. A promising talent who had earned merit for RNG fell repeatedly due to mistakes, which is lamentable.

After Wuxx was taken off, RNG's subsequent matches were all played by Y4.

Y4 was originally a product of RNG's youth academy, loaned to a secondary‑league team during the spring season; after Uzi's summer hiatus, RNG recalled him, and starting from the second game of the summer regular season he appeared as RNG's starting AD. His performance has been decent, with a few standout shows, and he has gained some fame; among RNG fans he's also earned recognition, and when he plays well they call him "Little Uzi".

Unexpectedly, in his first external match today, Y4 was exposed by an LMS region bot‑laner whom an LPL netizen had completely disregarded.

Miller followed up on Wawa's topic to defend RNG:

"Y4's performance today is indeed disappointing, but I think… we shouldn't be too harsh, after all Y4 is also a newcomer in the LPL, and today marks his first time competing in this kind of international event as a starter; his lack of experience and possibly unsettled mindset make a subpar showing understandable. Moreover, his opponent isn't some nobody— he's the famed LMS top marksman Xiao An, a player who has never missed a Worlds since S5.

"Yes, and last year his team AHQ was in the same group as EDG; Xiao An could hold his own against Deft in lane!

"Exactly……

Miller didn't dare continue, lest he provoke EDG— after all, EDG also lost to AHQ last year……

Even if the commentators hype up the opponent, it can't quell the LPL audience's anger. Losing to the LCK might not draw much flak, but losing to a provincial team? Or to a second seed? Sorry, your grandmother would see vegetable prices skyrocket if she went to the market today.

Then Y4 also went from being called "Little Uzi" to being called "Little Trash"……

Even someone posted a voice in the bullet comments:

【Xiao~trash~, Xiao~ya~xiao~trash~】

After RNG's match ended, the LPL's daily schedule was also finished; the final record was 2 wins, 2 losses, with both points taken by VG, EDG and RNG each losing one game, and WE did not play today, being held back as a trump card to face a strong opponent tomorrow.

In game six, LMS faced the LCK; LMS sent out their anti‑Korea hero Flash Wolves, but in the end they still suffered defeat, being taken down by SKT led by Faker.

After accompanying Liang Yan to watch the match, Wang Liangyi switched shifts with Gao Jun and went back.

Gao Jun entered holding a bag of fruit in his left hand and a lunchbox in his right, his face full of delight; after sitting by the bedside he began gesturing animatedly to describe the scene to Liang Yan:

"Ah, what a pity, Xiao Liang— you weren't there, so you don't know how heated the scene was!

"As soon as we went on stage, the whole audience was shouting 'wawa'!

"That enthusiasm—

Gao Jun let out a long sigh while smiling,

"I really didn't expect that VG would have so many fans outside the LPL— we're almost able to arm‑wrestle SKT!

Liang Yan lifted a clump of glass noodles with disposable chopsticks to blow on them, waiting for Gao Jun to finish his excitement, then glanced at him:

"What about tomorrow?

"Tomorrow?

Gao Jun blinked slightly, thought for a moment, then replied slowly:

"A team can play at most two matches in a given stage of the schedule; for us, the group stage is already over, so tomorrow has nothing to do with us… how about you stay another day before being discharged?

Liang Yan shrugged: "I don't mind at all.

The bed situation here isn't tight; unless there's an unpaid bill, the hospital normally doesn't kick people out. VG is willing to spend the money, and went to great trouble to arrange a single room for Liang Yan— not only can he sleep in a bed without worrying about the covers being pulled off at night, but meals are also served with good food and drink… Liang Yan even feels that staying here is more comfortable than a hotel.

And honestly, the doctor doing the rounds is quite good‑looking, a bit like Lin Zhiling!

Liang Yan finished the noodles, then snapped a selfie and posted it on Weibo:

【【Maybe it's because they don't want me to leave— the doctor sister won't let me discharge, insisting I stay another day for observation】】

Male fans: 【【Pah!】】

Female fans: 【【Hmph!】】
