Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

The promise made at Dragon Ridge Peak was like a seed planted in the hearts of the two, quietly sprouting. The offseason passed quickly, and the battle for the summer season was reignited. As the champion of the spring season, RNG was naturally the focus of everyone's attention, and Lin Feng, the new FMVP, carried countless expectations.

In the middle of the summer regular season, a focus battle is about to take place - RNG vs. old rival EDG.

This match is not only about the ranking, but also about the grievances between the two teams over the years. A few days before the match, major e-sports forums and social media were already filled with smoke, and the war of words between fans of both sides was about to break out. Tickets on the day of the match were even harder to come by, and scalper ticket prices were driven up to the sky.

On the day of the game, there were crowds of people outside the LPL venue early on.

RNG's red ocean and EDG's blue and black flags stood side by side. Fans wore the uniforms of their respective teams and held light boards and banners. "RNG! Aim for the championship!" "EDG! The Knights are back!" The slogans were deafening. Inside the stadium, the huge electronic screen played the pre-match warm-up film. The exciting music and cool player highlights ignited the enthusiasm of every audience member.

In the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller were already in place.

"Good evening, viewers! Welcome to watch the LPL Summer Season regular season, the focus of the match between RNG and EDG!" Wawa's iconic loud voice was the first to sound, "I believe I don't need to say much about how popular this match is? The champion and runner-up of the Spring Finals meet again, and it's our 'Esports Spring Festival Gala'!"

Miller pushed his glasses and analyzed calmly: "Yes, both teams are in very hot form at the moment. After Lin Feng joined RNG, their dominance in the top lane is unquestionable, while on EDG's side, the 'trident' of Flandre, Scout, and Viper is equally powerful. Today's matchup is definitely a clash of the two!"

In the host interview area, Yu Shuang was wearing an elegant white dress, holding a microphone, with a calm smile on her face. Her eyes drifted towards the RNG preparation room from time to time, and she felt a little nervous. She knew that Raymond Lam would definitely be the focus of the audience tonight.

In the player channel, the RNG team is making final preparations.

Coach Heart patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said, "Lin Feng, the pressure on the road today will be very high. Saint Spear is experienced and has a variety of playing styles. You have to stay calm."

Lin Feng's eyes were firm: "I understand, coach." He moved his wrist and quickly went through the commonly used heroes and playing habits of EDG's top laner in his mind.

Uzi smiled and said, "Brother Fengzi, I got to see your performance today! We will make sure the bottom lane is stable!"

"Come on!" everyone shouted in unison and walked towards the battlefield that belonged to them.

When the two teams came on stage, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers. Under the spotlight, Lin Feng walked in the middle of the team, his expression calm, but his eyes were burning with fighting spirit. He habitually glanced at the host seat and happened to meet Yu Shuang's eyes. Yu Shuang gave him an encouraging smile and made a cheering gesture. Lin Feng felt warm in his heart and nodded slightly in response.

The BP stage was full of tension.

RNG is on the blue side, EDG is on the red side.

RNG Ban: Leblanc, Card, Xin Zhao (targeting EDG's strong rhythm points in the mid and jungle)

EDG Ban: Aatrox, Kennen, Viego (against Lin Feng's hero sea and Karsa's jungle core)
Wawa: "Oh? EDG is still very afraid of Lin Feng's hero pool, and directly eliminated his Aatrox and Kennen who performed well in the spring season."

Miller: "RNG's bans are also very targeted. Leblanc and Twisted Fate are Scout's specialties, while Xin Zhao is Jiejie's weapon for early ganks."

It's RNG's turn to select players on the first floor.

Coach Heart looked at Lin Feng: "Gwen, how is it?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Okay." The hero Gwen has high flexibility, strong continuous output, and excellent late-stage growth, which is very suitable for Lin Feng's operation.

RNG instantly locked——Ling Luo Doll Gwen!
"Gwen! Brother Fengzi's Gwen! This pick is for laning suppression and late-game carry!" Wawa said excitedly.

EDG’s first two picks were: Jayce in the top lane and Jarvan II in the jungle.

Miller: "Jayce vs. Gwen, a classic long-range vs. short-range match. It depends on whether Saint Spear can use his range advantage to suppress Gwen's development in the early stage. Jarvan IV is a team-opening hero that Jiejie is very good at."

RNG’s second and third floors selected: jungle Troll and support Titan.

Karsa's Troll can effectively restrict the Prince's entry and steal the opponent's front-line resistance. Ming's Titan has a strong first-hand control ability.

EDG’s third and fourth floors selected: ADC Aphelios and support Lulu.

Viper's Aphelios is the core in the late game, and with Lulu's protection, the output environment will be very good.

RNG selected on the fourth and fifth floors: mid laner Galio, ADC Xayah.

Xiaohu's Galio can provide global support and powerful team control, while Uzi's Xayah has certain self-protection capabilities and AOE output.

EDG’s last pick: mid laner Viktor.

Scout's Viktor, if he develops well in the later stages, can also deal devastating damage.

The lineups of both sides are confirmed!

RNG: Top laner Gwen (Lin Feng), jungler Troll (Karsa), mid laner Galio (Xiaohu), ADC Xia (Uzi), support Titan (Ming).

EDG: Top laner Jayce (Flandre), jungler Prince (Jiejie), mid laner Victor (Scout), ADC Aphelios (Viper), support Lulu (Meiko).

"Both teams chose their lineups very thoughtfully!" Miller analyzed. "RNG used the classic four-protect-one lineup, but Gwen also has the ability to stand out in the late game. EDG used a three-core lineup that focuses on development. It depends on who can enter their strong period faster!"

enter the game!

At the beginning, Lin Feng's Gwen faced Saint Gun's Jayce. Jayce learned E at level 1 and used the cannon form to continuously consume Gwen's health. Lin Feng moved very carefully, using the edge of the Q skill "Quick Knife Cuts the Gordian Knot" to make up for the enemy, trying to avoid being consumed in vain.

Saint Spear was experienced and held the line, not giving Gwen much breathing space. He used a precise EQ combo to hit Gwen, and her health dropped a little in an instant.

"Brother Shengqiang's suppression power is still strong!" Wawa said, "Brother Fengzi will have to withstand the pressure in the early stage of this game."

Lin Feng took his time and took the red potion. Thanks to his delicate finishing moves and precise control of experience, his level did not fall behind.

Karsa's Troll knew the pressure on the top lane, and chose to go to the top lane to counter-camp at level 3. Sure enough, EDG jungler Jiejie's Jarvan also appeared in the grass in the top lane river, trying to cooperate with Jayce to kill Gwen by crossing the tower.

"EDG wants to attack the top lane! Karsa is counter-camping!"

At the moment when the Prince used EQ to hit Gwen, Karsa's troll blocked the Prince's position with a pillar! Lin Feng's Gwen's W skill "Threads of Entanglement" was activated, avoiding the damage after Jayce switched to hammer form, and at the same time, he used his Q skill to hit the Prince.

"The fight has begun! Karsa's pillar is too crucial!" Seeing the bad situation, Saint Spear's Jayce retreated immediately. Jiejie's Prince was stuck by Gwen and the Troll, and he gave up his Flash and fled back to the tower in embarrassment.

In this 2V2 wave, RNG's top and jungle cooperated well, successfully resolved the opponent's gank, and forced EDG's top and jungle to retreat.

"Beautiful! Fengzi and Karsa's cooperation was so calm! Not only did they not die, but they also crippled EDG's top and jungle!" Miller praised.

In the middle of the game, both sides fought fiercely over the little dragon and the Rift Herald.

EDG took advantage of its pushing advantage in the middle and lower lanes and was the first to take down the first little dragon.

RNG made a comeback in the battle for the Rift Herald. Karsa's Troll punished the Herald in the dragon pit, and Lin Feng's Gwen TPed around and directly cut into EDG's back row, and cooperated with Galio's ultimate to enter the field, making a 1-for-3 exchange and successfully taking the Rift Herald.

"Brother Fengzi's TP is so clever! It directly broke up EDG's formation!"

Yu Shuang was watching the graceful and elegant figures of Lin Feng and Gwen on the big screen from the audience, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

The competition entered a white-hot stage.

In the 25th minute, a crucial team battle broke out in the middle lane.

EDG's Prince seized the opportunity and used his ultimate to trap Uzi's Xia and Ming's Titan. Scout's Viktor's Chaos Storm instantly spread out, and Viper's Aphelios output crazily under Lulu's protection.

RNG's back row is in danger!

At this moment, Lin Feng's Gwen rushed out from the flank! He used his E skill to rush forward like a ghost, activated his W skill, and was immune to Lulu's sheep transformation. The huge scissors in his hand accurately cut towards EDG's core output - Aphelios!
"Gwen is coming in! The target is Viper!" Wawa's voice suddenly rose.

Saint Gun's Jayce tried to stop him, but Karsa's Troll's ultimate sucked away his double resistance, making him extremely vulnerable. Xiaohu's Galio flashed and taunted, controlling Viktor who was trying to support him.

Lin Feng's Gwen is like a ghost dancer on the battlefield. Her Q skill is constantly stacked, and the true damage hits Aphelios, and the health bar disappears visibly!

"Crack! Click!"

Aphelios was killed instantly!

"Viper is down! Fengzi's Gwen is so scary!"

EDG lost its core damage output and RNG started to counterattack. Uzi's Xia was madly damaging under the protection of his teammates. In the end, RNG played a perfect teamfight with a 2-for-5 exchange and successfully took down the Baron!

All the RNG fans in the stadium burst into thunderous cheers.

"NICE! Brother Fengzi's timing of cutting in and target selection are perfect! He is the mainstay of RNG!" Miller said excitedly.

With the Baron buff, RNG was unstoppable and pushed EDG's middle and lower high ground.

EDG fought tenaciously, but the gap in equipment and economy was too great to turn the tide.

In the end, under the leadership of Lin Feng and Gwen, RNG successfully pushed down EDG's base crystal!
"Congratulations to RNG! They successfully won this focus battle!"

"MVP! Without a doubt, it's our Fengzi brother again!"

On the screen, Lin Feng and Gwen's data were extremely gorgeous, with the highest damage percentage in the game.

Lin Feng took off his headphones and breathed a sigh of relief. His teammates were already hugging each other excitedly. He walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience.

The spotlight was on him again, and he saw Yu Shuang's bright eyes with a smile in the host's seat. That glance seemed more reassuring than the cheers of the audience.

"Please welcome our MVP of this game - RNG.LinFeng!" Yu Shuang's sweet voice sounded.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and calmly walked towards the interview area, towards the girl who made a promise with him at Longji Peak. Tonight's victory seemed to have added more joy worth sharing for their next "challenge".

"Please welcome our MVP of this game - RNG.LinFeng!" Yu Shuang's sweet voice came through the microphone, clearly spreading throughout the venue and accurately reaching Lin Feng's ears.

Under the spotlight, Lin Feng's figure was stretched out slenderly. He walked calmly to the interview area, with steady steps and calm eyes, as if the thrilling battle just now was just another ordinary footnote in his career.

However, only he himself knew that when he saw the sincere smile in Yu Shuang's eyes, the string called "throbbing" in his heart was gently plucked again.

"Congratulations to player Lin Feng, and congratulations to RNG for another crucial victory!" Yu Shuang's makeup today was particularly exquisite. The champagne-colored dress made her skin look whiter than snow. She spoke and laughed, exuding a charm that made people feel like spring breeze.

"Your Gwen played very well again today, especially in that crucial team fight in the mid-game. Your flank cut in and instantly killed Viper's Aphelios, laying the foundation for the team's victory. Can you share with us your decision-making process at that time?" Yu Shuang's questions were professional and fluent, with a look of sincere appreciation for Lin Feng's performance.

Lin Feng took the microphone, cleared his throat, and spoke in a charming voice: "At that time, we were under great pressure on the front battlefield. Once EDG's lineup allowed Aphelios to find a safe output position, the damage would be terrifying. I noticed that their back row was standing a little forward, and Lulu's protection skills were given to the front row Prince, so I decisively chose to look for opportunities from the flank. The successful kill was also due to the good work of our teammates in frontal containment."

It was still a flawless answer, attributing the credit to the team. But people who are familiar with Lin Feng know that behind this seemingly simple decision is his accurate judgment of the battle situation and his keen grasp of opportunities.

Yu Shuang smiled slightly, her eyes moving, and continued: "We all know that Saint Spear is a very experienced veteran. You also endured a lot of pressure in the laning phase today. How did you adjust your mentality and find opportunities to carry the game in the mid-to-late stages?"

This question is obviously more in-depth and tests the contestants' ability to respond on the spot.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, his eyes deep: "Brother Saint Spear is indeed very strong, his Jayce gave me a lot of pressure in the laning phase. But I believe that our lineup has an advantage in the late game, so even if we are at a disadvantage in the early game, we must maintain steady development and not be impatient. Jungler Brother Karsa also gave me a lot of help and relieved my laning pressure. In the mid-to-late game, it is all about executing the coach's tactical deployment, finding the opponent's weak points, and then... tearing it apart."

He said the last three words lightly, but with an unquestionable dominance.

"Tear it apart!" Wawa couldn't help but repeat it in the commentary booth, his tone excited, "That's right! This is Lin Feng! This is RNG's 'sharp blade'! No matter how strong the opponent is, he can always find a chance to tear apart the opponent's defense!"

Miller also nodded and said: "Lin Feng's mentality is too mature, he doesn't look like a rookie who has just started playing professionally. This ability to withstand pressure and find opportunities is a must-have quality for a top laner."

The interview continued, Yu Shuang asked questions one after another, and Lin Feng's answers became more and more calm. The interaction between the two seemed to have a wonderful tacit understanding, which made the originally somewhat formulaic post-match interview more pleasant. (End of this chapter)
