Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Huge reputation is like a double-edged sword, with brilliant glory on one side and pressure on the other. The signing with Xingyao Group made Raymond Lam's name "out of the circle", but it also made him the target of public criticism.

On the day of the match with EDG, the stadium was packed with people. Among the countless light signs, the words "LinFeng" and "Xingyao" stood out.

The host of the pre-match interview session was none other than Xi Ran, one of the most popular actresses in L-PL. She is well-known for her intellectual and generous hosting style and her fluent Chinese and Korean interviewing skills.

"Welcome to our pre-match interview booth. The player we invited today is RNG's top laner, LinFeng!" Xiran had a professional smile on his face, but there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Hello, Lin Feng. First of all, congratulations on becoming the global spokesperson for Xingyao Mobile Phone and creating a new record for the commercial value of our LPL. Will this have an impact on your mentality in preparation for the game?" Xiran's question was direct and sharp.

Lin Feng took the microphone and said calmly, "Thank you. For me, being an endorsement is recognition, but being a contestant is my job. No matter how many voices there are outside the arena, once I enter the arena, I have only one goal, which is to win the game."

His answer was flawless and calm, not like a young man in his early twenties.

Xiran continued to ask: "Today your opponent is the veteran powerhouse EDG. They said in an interview that they will pay special attention to your top lane. Do you have any response to this?"

Lin Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile: "I look forward to their 'care'. The professional arena is a place where strength speaks."

After the brief interview, Xi Ran looked at Raymond Lam's departing back, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. She had interviewed countless celebrity contestants, and had seen young and high-spirited contestants, as well as experienced and mature contestants. However, it was rare for someone like Raymond Lam to maintain such pure concentration and strong self-confidence at such a young age, facing such great honors and pressure.

"This man... is really something." Xiran said to himself.

On the other side, Rita was watching Raymond Lam on the big screen in the commentary booth, feeling both proud and a little worried. She knew better than anyone that today's match was a tough one for Raymond Lam, and he needed to respond to all the doubts with an undisputed victory.

In the deciding game, the two sides tied 1:1.

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

EDG's BP strategy was extremely resolute. In the first three rounds, they once again eliminated Lin Feng's Jayce, Lucian and Fiora.

"EDG is determined not to let Fengzi play offensive heroes!" Wawa said, "They just want to force Fengzi to choose a tank, and then win the game through the strength of the mid and bottom lanes!"

However, when it was RNG's turn to select players on the first floor, a hero that made the whole audience excited was locked in seconds!

Blade Dancer, Irelia!

“Irelia! Brother Fengzi has locked on to Irelia!” Miller’s voice instantly became excited. “When the opponent releases Crocodile, choose Irelia as the last choice! Once this hero is suppressed, her role in the mid-term will be very small, but if she can gain an advantage, it will be the nightmare of all squishy heroes! Brother Fengzi, you are going to respond to doubts with the tip of your knife!”

Rita's heart instantly rose to her throat, and her palms were full of sweat. It was a matchup between Knife Girl and Crocodile, and the margin for error was extremely low. If she was not careful, she would be doomed.

As expected, EDG locked down the crocodile for top laner Flandre.

The lineups of both sides are finally determined:
RNG: Top lane Irelia (LinFeng), jungle Viego (Karsa), mid lane Leblanc (Xiaohu), ADC Kaisa (Uzi), support Rakan (Ming).

EDG: Top laner Flandre, jungler Zhao Xin (JieJie), mid laner Sylas (Scout), ADC Aphelios (Viper), support Thresh (Meiko).

Game start!
Everyone's camera was focused on the top lane. Flandre's Crocodile played extremely fiercely, relying on the strength of the early heroes, and constantly used Red Rage W to suppress Lin Feng's Irelia.

Lin Feng was extremely patient, controlling Knife Girl and deftly using his Q skill "Blade Impact" to shuttle back and forth between the low-health minions, while finishing off the minions, he constantly adjusted his position to avoid the crocodile's consumption. He was like a most experienced hunter, waiting for the prey to reveal a flaw.

6 and a half minutes into the game, the opportunity has arrived!
Flandre's crocodile moved slightly forward to suppress the opponent. Lin Feng's eyes flashed!
E skill "Double Blades"! Two blades fly out from two tricky angles, accurately forming a blade wall behind the crocodile, stunning it!
At the moment of dizziness, Lin Feng did not rush to use Q, but instead used a basic attack first, stacking up five layers of the passive skill "Ionian Fervor"!
The attack speed skyrocketed instantly!
The Q skill "Blade Impact" follows the crocodile's face like a shadow, and the basic attack with passive magic damage outputs madly!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Flandre immediately used the E skill to create distance.

But Lin Feng’s operation was almost at its peak!

Just as the crocodile was halfway through its E skill movement, Lin Feng's ultimate move "Vanguard Blade" had already been used! Countless blades formed a diamond-shaped sword formation, accurately predicting the crocodile's landing point and covering it!

The "Disarm" effect is triggered! The crocodile cannot perform normal attacks!
Flandre's health dropped rapidly, and he flashed in panic, trying to escape from the sword formation.

A sneer appeared on Lin Feng's lips.

Q skill refreshed!
He once again Q'd the crocodile that was slowed down by the edge of the sword formation, performed a basic attack, and then Q'd the minions to pull them away, dodging the crocodile's desperate Q skill to recover health. He followed up with the last Q skill, and the sharp blade pierced through the heart!

"First Blood!"

Solo kill! Another solo kill!

Amid the exclamations of the audience, Lin Feng completed the reversal on the line with a set of operations that could be called a work of art!

"Oh my god! What kind of operation is this!" Wawa was already incoherent, "Pulling, stacking passives, E skill stun, ultimate prediction, Q skill chasing and pulling... every detail is perfect! Is this LinFeng's Irelia? Too scary!"

In the commentary booth, Rita finally loosened her clenched fists and let out a long sigh, with pride and joy on her face that was difficult to conceal.

After completing the solo kill, Lin Feng did not give EDG any chance to breathe. He knew that EDG's "care" would come soon.

Sure enough, jungler JieJie's Zhao Xin immediately rushed to the top lane, trying to cooperate with the resurrected crocodile to kill Lin Feng.

But Lin Feng seemed to have opened up the whole map vision, and he had placed a true ward in the bushes one step ahead of time, and saw through Xin Zhao's movements. He deliberately exposed a flaw, luring Crocodile and Xin Zhao to rush up.

At the moment when the two of them got close, Lin Feng's W skill "Distance-Breaking Dance" was activated!
A layer of golden light shield covered Irelia's entire body, perfectly blocking the stun from Crocodile's W and the charge damage from Xin Zhao!
"W blocked the critical control and damage!"

Then, use the E skill to stun both of them again! Q the minions to restore health, then Q the crocodile, walk A, and then Q Xin Zhao!

His Irelia danced back and forth between the two sturdy men, her health bar flying up and down, but always maintaining a healthy blood line.

At this time, Karsa's Viego finally arrived!

RNG goes wild 2V2!

Lin Feng's Irelia had already injured two people, and Karsa easily entered the field to reap the rewards, and finally ended up with a wonderful team battle of 1 for 2!
"We won again! We killed one of them in a one-on-two situation, and cooperated with Karsa to kill another one!" Miller's voice trembled with excitement. "EDG's strategy against the top lane has completely failed! They angered a sleeping lion!"

After this wave, the balance on the top lane has completely tilted.

Lin Feng's Irelia developed the most in the game, and he began his roaming slaughter. At 15 minutes, he appeared in the middle lane and cooperated with Xiaohu to kill Scout's Sylas.

At 18 minutes, he TPed to the bottom lane, and with four EDG players double-teaming Uzi, he cut into the back row like a god and instantly killed Viper's Aphelios, helping the team win the team battle.

His Irelia has become EDG's lingering nightmare.

Finally, 26 minutes into the game, RNG took the Baron buff and pushed onto EDG's high ground.

Lin Feng's Irelia, in the midst of thousands of troops, went straight to the opponent's C position as if taking something from a bag.

When the crystal of EDG's base exploded and the word "Victory" popped up on the screen, the whole audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

On the data panel, Lin Feng's Irelia won the MVP again with a perfect KDA of 10-0-5 and the highest damage in the game.

He shattered all doubts with a resounding victory and a stunning personal show.

During the handshake after the game, Flandre looked at Raymond Lam, smiled bitterly and shook his head, convinced.

And when Xiran stood in front of Raymond Lam again during the MVP interview, her eyes had changed from curiosity to deep admiration and appreciation.

"Congratulations to RNG, and congratulations to Lin Feng for winning the MVP again!" Xi Ran said with a smile, "Faced with such crazy targeting by the opponent, you used your single-handed Irelia to give the most perfect response. Now, do you have anything else to say to those who are following you off the court?"

Lin Feng took the microphone, his eyes swept across the countless fans cheering for him in the audience, and across the girl with a smile in her eyes in the commentary booth. Finally, his eyes became extremely firm.

"Thank you for your support. What I want to say is that no matter I am the spokesperson of Xingyao or the top laner of RNG, my name is LinFeng. On the court, I will only do one thing——"

He paused, and his voice spread throughout the venue through the microphone, clear and powerful:
"That is, win them all!"

"That is, win them all!"

Raymond Lam's resounding declaration spread to every corner through the on-site loudspeaker and live broadcast signal. His self-confidence, mixed with the unique spirit of a teenager, instantly ignited the entire venue. The screams of fans, the flashlights of the media, and the high-fives of his teammates all came together to form a symphony called "Victory."

Xi Ran held the microphone and stood beside Lin Feng, feeling the aura from a close distance. She saw that what flashed in his eyes was not arrogance, but the purest belief in victory. At this moment, she suddenly understood why a business queen like Su Wanqing would favor him. This young man had a magic that made people follow and believe in him involuntarily.

After the interview, Xi Ran passed by Raymond Lam who was about to leave in the corridor backstage.

"Contestant Lin Feng," she couldn't help but call out to him.

Lin Feng stopped and looked back at her.

"Today's performance was wonderful." Xiran's smile was less professional and more sincere than when he was on stage just now. "To be honest, I was also worried about you before the game. You withstood the huge pressure."

"Thank you." Lin Feng nodded politely, "It's my duty."

"That phrase 'win it all' is very cool." Xiran smiled, "I hope you can always keep this original intention. LPL needs players like you."

"I will."

The simple conversation created a subtle friendship between the two.

That night, the RNG club held a small celebration party. The victory over such a strong opponent as EDG brought the morale of the entire team to a peak.

"Brother Fengzi, you have won so many MVPs!" Karsa raised his drink cup and toasted Lin Feng, "From now on, we don't have to fight, we can just watch your performance."

“Stop joking,” Lin Feng clinked his glasses with a smile, “Without you guys holding me back from the front, my Irelia wouldn’t have had a chance to get in. This victory belongs to five people.”

His humility and emphasis on the team make all teammates feel comfortable, which is why he can become the core of the team and is deeply loved.

Halfway through the celebration banquet, Raymond Lam found a corner and called Rita on video.

Rita on the other side of the screen was wearing home clothes, holding a bucket of ice cream, and reviewing his wonderful operations today with a beaming face.

"Your W blocked Crocodile's W, it was amazing! And you even flashed ahead of your ultimate. I almost shouted out loud at the commentary booth!" Rita was so excited that she looked like a little fan. "I'm telling you, everyone on the internet has made a highlight of your solo kill, with the title 'Textbook-level Irelia's 1v1 counter-kill'!"

Lin Feng looked at her cute dancing and felt soft in his heart: "Do you like it?"

"What?" Rita was stunned.

"Do you like my performance today?" Lin Feng's voice was gentle and serious.

Rita's face flushed, and she tightened her grip on the ice cream bucket, mumbling softly, "It's... it's OK, barely passable."

She said it reluctantly, but her eyes that were curved into crescents and the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but rise had already betrayed her inner ecstasy.

Lin Feng laughed softly. To him, all the praise in the world might not be as good as her sincere "I like you".

----

As the summer season draws to a close, RNG has secured first place in the regular season with a perfect record and is heading into the playoffs. Lin Feng has also won the regular season MVP award without any suspense.

His reputation reached its peak. He was not only revered as a "god" in the e-sports circle, but also became a phenomenal sports idol outside the circle due to the vigorous promotion of the Xingyao Group.

In the playoffs, RNG was unstoppable. They swept their opponents 3:0 and met their old rival EDG again in the summer finals.

The finals were held in a large stadium that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Tickets had already been sold out, and the scene was packed with LPL fans from all over the country.

Before the game started, Su Wanqing, as the CEO of Xingyao Group, personally came to RNG's backstage lounge to cheer for the team.

Today she changed out of her usual suit and put on a black dress with exquisite tailoring, which made her look elegant and noble. Her appearance made the atmosphere in the lounge freeze. (End of this chapter)
