Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

The MSI group stage officially begins!
RNG was placed in Group A, and its opponents in the same group include DK from LCK, C9 from LCS and teams from the wildcard zone.

In the first match, RNG faced off against their old rival, DK from LCK! This match was also hailed as one of the most exciting duels in this MSI group stage.

The world's attention is focused on this battle between China and South Korea.

During the BP phase, the coaches of both teams battled with each other. DK specifically banned Lin Feng's outstanding Aatrox and Kennen in the LPL, while RNG banned DK mid laner ShowMaker's signature Leblanc and Syndra.

In the end, Lin Feng locked up the top laner Gnar for RNG, while DK's top laner Khan got the Barrel.

At the beginning of the game, both teams played very cautiously. DK relied on the consistent operation rhythm of the LCK team and gradually took control of the initiative on the field in the mid-term. ShowMaker's Viktor developed well and dealt tons of damage in team battles.

RNG was once in a disadvantage, lagging behind economically, and its defensive towers were constantly being eroded.

However, RNG did not give up. With their tenacious perseverance and excellent teamwork, they resolved DK's offensive again and again.

Lin Feng's Gnar played a key role in the team battle. His precise Tathagata Palm repeatedly shot back DK's key C position, creating output space for his teammates.

Uzi's Kaisa still delivered explosive damage despite being at a disadvantage, demonstrating the strength of a world-class ADC.

35 minutes into the game, team fight for the big dragon!
DK took the lead in attacking the dragon, and RNG rushed to stop them. Just when the dragon's health was about to reach the bottom, Lin Feng's Gnar became bigger, and with a perfect spin push, he pushed DK's jungler Canyon and ADC Ghost to the wall at the same time!
Karsa's Lee Sin flashed into the field and used punishment to take down the Baron!
"They got it! RNG got the Baron!" Wawa in the commentary booth shouted excitedly.

RNG successfully turned the situation around with the help of the big dragon buff!
In the end, after a 45-minute battle, RNG defeated DK with difficulty and won the first victory of MSI!
"Congratulations to RNG! They defeated the powerful DK! A good start for the LPL region!"

The LPL fans at the scene burst into warm cheers!
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to win this round. DK's strong strength made them feel huge pressure.

Rita was also excited and her eyes were red in the commentary booth. She was proud of RNG's victory and cheered for Raymond Lam's brilliant performance at the critical moment.

In the following group matches, RNG became more and more courageous, defeating C9 and the wildcard zone teams in succession, and successfully advanced to the knockout stage as the first in the group.

Lin Feng performed well in the group stage. Whether it was a carry or a tank, he was able to handle it with ease, showing his deep hero pool and strong personal ability. His name has also begun to be known by more and more foreign audiences.

In the knockout stage, RNG will face the G2 team from the LEC region. G2 is known for its eclectic tactical style and strong individual abilities. Their mid laner Caps and ADC Rekkles are both world-class players.

This BO5 match is also full of suspense.

Before the game, Rita sent a message to Lin Feng to cheer him up: "Brother Fengzi, come on in the knockout round! Although G2 is very strong, I believe you can definitely beat them! I'm cheering for you from the commentary booth!"

"Well, we will try our best." Lin Feng replied, his heart full of fighting spirit.

In the first game of the knockout match, G2 took the lead thanks to Caps' Akali's outstanding performance.

In the second game, RNG quickly adjusted their status. Lin Feng chose their signature Sword Demon and played a dominant performance, successfully winning back a game.

In the third game, the two sides played extremely intensely, and the economic gap never widened. In the end, G2 won the game with a hard-fought victory by virtue of its superior teamfighting and got the match point.

Trailing 1:2, RNG was once again pushed to the edge of the cliff.

The atmosphere in the lounge was somewhat depressing.

"Brothers, this is not the first time we have faced this situation!" Lin Feng spoke first, breaking the silence, "In the LPL finals, we were also behind 1:2. What did we do in the end? We won back! Now, we can do the same!"

His words were full of power and ignited the fighting spirit of his teammates.

"Yes! Fight with them!" Uzi said loudly.

Coach Heart also encouraged: "Believe in yourself, believe in the team! We still have a chance!"

In the fourth game, all RNG members exploded! Lin Feng's Kennen dealt devastating AOE damage in the team battle, and Uzi's Varus also maxed out his output! RNG successfully dragged the game into the deciding game!

“Silver Scrapes” sounded again!
In the final round, both teams brought out their best lineups. Lin Feng picked Aatrox again, while Caps picked his signature hero Zoe.

The game entered a fierce stage from the beginning. Both sides took turns to lead in kills, and the economic gap was never widened.

In the crucial team battle for the Dragon Soul, Lin Feng's Sword Demon was like a god descending from heaven. He went in and out seven times, and with the output of his teammates, he successfully wiped out G2 and took down the Dragon Soul and the Baron!

RNG, carrying the double dragon, was unstoppable and pushed down G2's base crystal in one fell swoop!
"Congratulations to RNG! 3:2! They defeated the powerful G2! Successfully advanced to the MSI finals!"

The scene was boiling again! The RNG players hugged each other excitedly! They once again completed a reversal in desperation!

Lin Feng looked at the word "Victory" on the screen, his heart filled with pride. They were only one step away from winning the MSI championship!
Their opponent will be the LCK powerhouse DK who has fought back from the loser group again!

A fateful showdown is about to be staged again on the MSI finals stage!
The MSI finals will be held at the Laugardalshll Arena in Reykjavik. RNG and DK, the two teams representing the highest level of LPL and LCK respectively, will meet again at the pinnacle of the world competition. This is not only a contest between the two teams, but also a clash of honors between the two regions.

The atmosphere before the game was tense and heated. League of Legends fans around the world were looking forward to this match of the century. On major social media platforms, discussions about the strength of the two teams, their tactical styles, and the status of their key players were overwhelming.

The duel between Lin Feng and ShowMaker, the contest between Uzi and Ghost, and the jungle game between Karsa and Canyon have all become topics that fans talk about with relish.

In the RNG lounge, Coach Heart was making the final tactical arrangements.

"DK is a very strong team. Their operational capabilities and teamfight discipline are world-class. We must be fully focused and not let down our guard at all." Coach Heart said with a serious expression, "Remember, we are RNG, we represent LPL! We must play with our blood and our style!"

The players were focused, their eyes full of desire for victory. After going through the group stage and the knockout stage, they became more mature and more united. Lin Feng took a deep breath, he knew what this game meant to him and the team. Lifting the MSI championship trophy would not only bring honor to the LPL region, but also be an important affirmation of his personal strength.

On the other side, in DK's locker room, head coach kkOma was also making the final mobilization.

"RNG is a worthy opponent, they defeated us in the group stage. But we, DK, also have the foundation of a champion! We must learn from the previous lessons and show our true strength in the finals!" kkOma's voice was sonorous and powerful, "ShowMaker, Khan, Canyon, Ghost, BeryL, you are all the best players! Believe in yourself, we will definitely bring the MSI trophy back to LCK!"

The DK players had determined eyes. The defeat in the group stage did not break them down, but instead inspired them to fight harder.

In the commentary booth, commentators from all over the world are ready. In the LPL commentary booth, there is still the golden combination of Wawa, Miller and Xiaomo. Rita, as a special guest, also appeared in front of the camera again. She specially wore a red dress today, hoping to bring good luck to RNG.

Wawa: "Dear audience! Welcome to the finals of the 202X League of Legends Mid-Season Championship! Today, we will witness together, between RNG of LPL and DK of LCK, who will lift the trophy that symbolizes the mid-season King of Glory!"

Miller: "Yes! This is a highly anticipated match! Both RNG and DK have shown great strength and resilience. Today's match is destined to be a classic that will go down in history!"

Xiao Mo: "From the group stage to the knockout stage, both teams have gone through many challenges. Now, they are finally standing on the highest stage and presenting us with a visual feast! Let us wait and see!"

Rita also smiled and said: "RNG's players, especially Lin Feng, performed very well in this MSI. I hope they can continue their hot form today and add another championship trophy to our LPL region! Come on RNG!"

Amid the roar of the audience, the players from both teams stepped onto the stage. Raymond Lam and ShowMaker shook hands in the center of the stage, and the moment their eyes met, it was as if a flash of lightning had passed. This was a mutual admiration between the two top players, and a common desire for victory.

The first game of the MSI finals BO5 officially begins!
RNG Ban on the blue side: Syndra (ShowMaker's signature), Gragas (Khan performed well in the group stage), Thresh (BeryL's rhythm point).

The red side's DK Ban: Aatrox (Lin Feng's carry hero), Kaisa (Uzi's stable output), Lee Sin (Karsa's rhythm engine).

On the first floor, RNG locked in the strong jungler of this version - Udyr - for Karsa!

"Udyr! Karsa picked out Udyr!" Wawa said, "Udyr is a hero who can quickly clear the jungle in the early stage, has strong ganking ability, and has sufficient control!"

DK chose top laner Gnar and jungler Rumble on the first and second floors!

Miller: "Gnar and Rambo! Khan picked up Gnar again, and Canyon chose Rambo as a jungler! Rambo's AOE damage and temperature control burst, combined with Gnar's control, make the teamfight ability very strong!"

On the second and third floors, RNG chose the mid lane Clockwork Mage and Orianna for Xiaohu, and also got the ADC - Xayah for Uzi!

Xiao Mo: "Clockwork and Xia! RNG's mid and bottom combination has both control, AOE damage and late-game carry capabilities! Very solid!"

On the third and fourth floors, DK locked in the mid laner Viktor for ShowMaker and chose ADC - Senna for Ghost!
Miller: "Viktor and Senna! ShowMaker's Viktor has unquestionable damage output in the late game! Ghost's Senna is a highly functional ADC that can provide treatment and control, and has good growth potential!"

Enter the second round of banning.

RNG banned Tam, who DK's support might have chosen, and Galio, a hero who could cooperate with Rumble to force a strong start.

DK banned Leona, who might be chosen by RNG's support, and Luo, a hero with strong ability to disrupt team battles.

On the fourth floor of RNG, Ming locked down the support Minotaur and Alistar!

Wawa: "Ming's Minotaur has excellent teamfighting and protection abilities! His WQ combo can coordinate well with teammates to kill!"

DK fifth floor, BeryL’s auxiliary choice!

On the screen, DK's fifth floor revealed an unconventional support hero - the molten lava beast, Malphite!
Xiao Mo: "Rockman support?! BeryL is doing something new again! Rockman support, the ability to forcefully use his ultimate is terrifying! Combined with Senna's ranged output, the bottom lane matchup may produce unexpected results!"

RNG fifth floor, Lin Feng’s hero selection!

Miller: "Now the pressure is on Brother Fengzi! DK's lineup, Gnar, Rumble, Viktor, Senna, Malphite, has a strong control chain, and the AOE damage in the late team battle is also explosive. What hero will Brother Fengzi choose to deal with it?"

On the screen, the hero portraits flashed rapidly, and finally, they stopped at a hero that made all the LPL fans cheer - Heart of Fury, Kennen!

"Kennen! Brother Fengzi picked Kennen again!" Wawa said excitedly, "Kennen has the advantage of long arms in the laning phase against Gnar, and his E skill is also quite flexible. Most importantly, Kennen's ultimate can be devastating when facing a lineup with a lot of control like DK, once he finds a good opportunity to enter the game!"

Miller also nodded and said, "Yes, RNG's lineup, Udyr, Clockwork, Xia, Alistar, Kennen, is a lineup that emphasizes teamwork and control connection! It depends on whether they can withstand the pressure from DK in the early and mid-term and drag the game into their own rhythm!"

The lineups of both sides are finally determined:
RNG: Top lane Kennen (LinFeng), jungle Udyr (Karsa), mid lane Clockwork (Xiaohu), ADC Xia (Uzi), support Alistar (Ming).

DK: Top laner Gnar (Khan), jungler Rumble (Canyon), mid laner Viktor (ShowMaker), ADC Senna (Ghost), support Malphite (BeryL).

The game begins! The battle drums for the finals have sounded!

Lin Feng's Kennen learned the Q skill at level 1 and faced Khan's Gnar. Both top laners played very cautiously, testing each other and controlling the minion line.

However, the battle broke out first in the bottom lane!
3 minutes into the game, BeryL's Malphite seized the opportunity and used a precise Q skill "Earthquake Fragment" to slow down Ming's Minotaur, and with Ghost Senna's basic attack, he created a wave of consumption. Ming's Minotaur was forced to retreat.

"BeryL's Stoneman support played very aggressively!" said Wawa.

Immediately afterwards, Canyon's Rumble also rushed to the bottom lane, and with the help of Stoneman's control and Senna's output, he successfully killed Ming's Minotaur and got the first blood!

"First blood! DK's bottom lane gained an advantage! Canyon's Rumble's gank was very timely!" Miller analyzed.

Although the bottom lane lost at the beginning, RNG did not panic. Karsa's Udyr found an opportunity in the middle lane, and with Xiaohu's Clockwork's control, he successfully killed ShowMaker's Viktor! (End of this chapter)
