LOL: I really didn't want to be a comedian!

Chapter 132 "Rebuilding the Glory of LPL is Our Inescapable Duty!"

In a private room of a high-end hot pot restaurant in Shanghai, Da Zi had dressed up somewhat presentably today.

"Long time no see? Uzi! How are you doing? Are you healthy? Are you coming back for the Summer Split?" LauK asked Uzi about his family as soon as he saw him.

Uz shook his head, his expression turning somewhat grim upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Lao K assumed that Uz was not feeling well and did not ask any further questions.

Only Di Wu, who was sitting next to them, knew... although RNG had not yet given any definite news.

However, Uzi is already in a semi-retired state. His contract is tightly binding him, so he can't leave if he wants to, and he can't play if he wants to.

"Chicken God, I didn't expect to see you at this time! I just finished watching your MCS, you guys are amazing!" Uzi changed the subject and brought up Di Wu, who was engrossed in eating next to him: "You're so handsome offline, you're the only player I've ever seen who's more handsome than my brother-in-law offline!"

"Being handsome is useless! You have to play well." Di Wu calmly ate a large piece of beef. Having experienced the trials of OMG last year, he knew that the most important thing for a professional player was to win the game.

"Brother Zaozi, what's RNG doing today? Why are they making such a big deal out of it? They even called Laotai and Baiyun over!"

Date... Date Brother?

Uzi was taken aback. This young man was really too informal. Luckily, he had matured a lot by now.

"I...I don't quite understand!"

Uzi's face darkened again when he heard about the event. Now RNG was completely trying to outplay him, just keeping him there and not letting him leave RNG.

They said, "We're going to be best partners for life!"

He never imagined that a contract he signed a few years ago would turn into "transcending the fear of death"!
"When you signed the contract, you said you'd be each other's angels, didn't you?" "All traitors must die!"

RNG's forced contract has completely shattered Uzi's hopes. His spring split was wasted, and he probably won't be able to leave for the summer split either…

If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't even bother coming. What does it matter what kind of event it is? It can't be a retirement ceremony for me, can it?

"It doesn't matter! It's just to broaden my horizons and stuff. I heard that the CEO of LPL will be there today!" Lao K didn't think too much about it.

Today, I'm simply bringing Di Wu here to broaden his horizons and introduce him to some influential figures in the industry.

"Huh? The CEO of LPL!?"

Di Wu glanced at Uzi, and he had a strange premonition…

The person next to him also sensed the somewhat heavy atmosphere and said with a hint of joking, "Even the CEO of LPL is here, is it going to be a retirement ceremony?"

???

"Whose retirement ceremony?" Letme looked up in surprise and scanned the room.

"I just won the championship, it can't be me!" Di Wu shook his head. If he were to retire, it would be LGD's decision. What is RNG anyway?

Lao K pointed to the flowerpot badge on his body: "I've been retired for so long, it can't be me!"

Uzi smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Does that mean I'm retiring?"

Uz's words were met with a burst of laughter from the entire audience!

In particular, several members of RNG shook their heads. Uzi retired? Has RNG gone mad?

Even though he hasn't achieved any great results in the World Championships in the past two years, the ID Uzi has still been heavily promoted and marketed by the LPL in the past two years.

Even if you don't play League of Legends or follow the esports scene, you've probably heard of this ID.

Why would RNG choose to hold a retirement ceremony for Uzi at this time? Have the people at RNG gone mad?
They painstakingly marketed a "god" title, and now they're just banning it?
After finishing most of the meal, Uzi looked at Di Wu's triumphant appearance with envy.
"God G, as long as you don't date, you'll definitely be a millionaire in three years!"

"Three years later?"

Di Wu smiled and nodded, which in a sense could be considered Uz's recognition of him.

After the small gathering, everyone arrived at RNG's event venue. Putting everything else aside, RNG is still quite wealthy. Although their LOL division's performance is average, they are making big moves in the Nong team, planning to create a small RNG shock in Nong!

Many managers from the esports industry were present at the event, including even Su Xiaoluo from IG.

However, someone of his caliber could only sit in the back; the first row was occupied by several former RNG players and the CEO of the LPL.

Backend
"Is that Gnik? What's he doing here?"

"It seems they came following the posture?"

RNG's two management members were stunned when they saw Diwu walking next to K. It was like they were just about to go to sleep when the pillow came to them.

"Then let's invite Gnik up on stage first, and then let the CEO present the award!"

"Gnik's traffic is higher now!!"

Di Wu, who was sitting in the audience, had no idea what was happening backstage; he was talking to Xiao Ming next to him.

"G God, how did you do that card-changing trick in MSC? It's pretty amazing!" Xiaoming asked curiously.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you next time!"

Di Wu smiled and looked at the number "8" on the big screen!
"Is today RNG's 8th anniversary?" Di Wu glanced around at the people around him.

MLXG, AJ, Zz1tai, Letme, Xiaohu, Xiaoming, even the King of Glory division is here. This scene seems vaguely familiar? No way!?

"Yeah! You come here without even knowing what kind of event it is?"

So you just came here with Lao K to hang out? Wow, it really is RNG's 8th anniversary!
If I remember correctly, it's RNG's 8th anniversary! That's right.
Di Wu glanced at Uzi. "Good, good, good! Uzi himself was the last to know about the retirement ceremony, right?"

After a simple opening, the most crucial moment arrived. Many RNG players took to the stage, but in the end, only Uzi remained.

The host suddenly announced.
"We are also very honored to announce that Uzi will be inducted into RNG's Hall of Fame!!" ???

What the hell is the Hall of Fame?
Uzi's expression changed instantly as he stood on the stage. No way. Who wants to be in your crappy Hall of Fame?

Uzi's expression shifted from calm at first to confusion, and then to bewilderment. Even under the camera's lens, it was clear that his smile was incredibly forced.

Is this a direct retirement for me?

Wait, nobody told me this? RNG just forced me to retire?!
Uzi blinked, feeling a bit numb all over and a sense of powerlessness creeping into his heart. The key question was: how many people were there?
Leaving aside RNG's own staff, even many LPL officials came. Today's eighth anniversary will be broadcast live, right?
If you announce my retirement like this, do I have any other options left?

That's a ruthless move!

If you were in the Three Kingdoms period, Jia Xu would call you ruthless! Li Ru would call you a scoundrel!

Sitting in the audience, Di Wu couldn't help but blink. K God, who came with him, looked at Zitai with a puzzled expression. Zitai looked at Xiaoming with a puzzled expression. Xiaoming looked at MLXG with a puzzled expression.

"what?"

MLXG sneered, inwardly cursing, "RNG is awesome!"
This news also ignited the RNG official live stream.

"What? The puppy has retired?"

"Why did you retire? You played pretty well last year, didn't you? I felt like you could play for another two years!"

"My youth is over!!!"

"Waaaaah, Uzi has retired, my youth is over!"

"Your youth? Do you even know Uzi's last name?"

"Nonsense, Uzi's last name is definitely U, right? Otherwise, why would it be Gou (dog)?"

As expected? RNG! They're ruthless!
Want to leave? I'll retire you right now!

Just as Di Wu, sitting in the audience, shook his head and was about to take a sip of water...
"Let's welcome Gnik to give a speech at Uzi's retirement ceremony!"

"Cough cough cough pfft. Cough cough! No? Who!? Gnik!?" Di Wu pointed to himself, and the camera in the official live stream focused directly on Di Wu.

The RNG official account's live stream was once again incredibly popular.

"Huh? Why is Gnik here too?"

"Didn't he just win the championship? Why is he at RNG's anniversary event, Uzi's retirement ceremony?"

"How about we retire Xiaohu while we're at it? Just buy G-God and let him go! This is RNG's best year yet!"

"Okay, okay, you're here too? The participation rate is great!"

The viewers were thoroughly entertained by the comments, but Di Wu was stunned.
No, I just came here with K to eat fruit platters, what does this have to do with me? Why did it suddenly become me going on stage?

Uzi on stage snorted coldly, which is really in line with RNG's style of doing things.

As long as there is traffic, all its value will be squeezed out!
"Let's shout, Gnik! Gnik! Gnik!!!"

The host was clearly a professional, and he immediately livened up the atmosphere.

Xiao Hu, standing next to Di Wu, crossed his arms and shook his head helplessly.

Di Wu breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked step by step toward the stage. He originally thought it was Uzi's retirement ceremony and he was just there to have some fun. He didn't expect that it was actually for him.
He walked heavily onto the stage, and all eyes were on him.

Di Wu opened his mouth, his brain racing as he tried to figure out what he should say.

At this point, should we talk about how Uzi inspired me? He plays AD carry, but I grew up watching Faker!

ummm
Di Wu clenched his fists, and there was already some noise from the audience.

He simply closed his eyes.
"No, what? Are you asleep?"

"Gnik is praying. Who is he praying to?"

"My goodness, did RNG not give Chicken any time to prepare?"

However, just as the comments section and the audience were buzzing with discussion...
Di Wu opened his eyes.
"Ah~"

“I remember it was during the 2017 World Championship. That year’s semifinals were RNG vs. SKT: the final score was 3-2. I saw Uzi sitting in a chair crying his heart out. At that moment, I thought that if I could become a professional player, I would definitely win everything.”

"Now that the path to the highest is right in front of me, I must consider before each competition whether this is the only opportunity I will ever have in my life."

"I believe that the LPL region's current level of success is inseparable from the hard work of every predecessor!"

"It is our duty to rebuild the glory of the LPL!"

???

Not only the host and Uzi on stage, but also the RNG management backstage were stunned.

It wasn't him. Where did he come up with such witty remarks in such a short time?
This is so cool!

They originally intended to use the traffic generated by the ID Gnik for their own live stream, but Di Wuyi's appearance completely turned the tables, making everyone forget about it for a moment.

This is RNG's 8th anniversary, and this is Uzi's retirement ceremony!
Facing the camera, Di Wu's eyes were full of determination!

Uzi stood to the side like a green recruit, with only one thought in his mind at that moment.
"He's so handsome!!!"

"Coach! I want to play professionally!!!"
