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

Chapter 235 Little Tiger: I will...burn myself!

"Welcome everyone to the 2021 LPL Spring Split Losers' Bracket Semifinals! Hello everyone, I'm your commentator Miller!"

Teacher Da Mi adjusted his glasses; he had switched shifts with Brother Guan in the last round.

It's a pity I couldn't witness the epic battle between LGD and FPX live.

And who could have imagined that LGD would end the game so quickly with a 3-0 victory and finish early?

This match will likely go to at least four games today, as both teams are very strong.

And they're all all-Chinese teams again!

It remains to be seen which team will be the strongest all-Chinese team this year.

Teacher DaMi didn't expect this match to be so close before it started.

The two sides battled all the way to the fifth game of a best-of-five series.

TES even selected their proudest achievement.
"Draven!!"

This match was indeed played with the bottom lane as the absolute core.

But
RNG also brought out their best lineup, with Xiaohu's Lucian in the top lane achieving remarkable results against 369's Malphite.

TES was having a very smooth game, and the older brother's Draven was very fed.

TES even managed to control the Water Dragon Soul, but Top Esports always has their own unique comedic moments.

Just when everyone thought RNG's fate was sealed, Xiaowei made a crucial flash to steal the Baron, and RNG immediately used double teleport to the bottom lane's high ground to forcibly destroy TES's inhibitor turret.

The inhibitor turrets in this version will not be restored, and TES is now under immense pressure from the minion waves. However, they still managed to secure the Elder Dragon in the bottom lane thanks to Draven's advantage.

This at least ensures that RNG cannot use the Baron buff to push forward during this period, and both sides can only wait for the next Baron and Elder Dragon to spawn.

Miller, watching from the commentary booth, clenched his fists involuntarily.

The competition has reached its fifth match, and it's such a crucial moment. Any small mistake could turn the tide of the game.

TES had several opportunities to push to RNG's doorstep, but they just fell short.
Even when TES had to give up their bottom lane inhibitor and base, RNG decisively rushed down Baron Nashor.

Instead, they found themselves in RNG's rhythm.

The match reached 42 minutes! The time for the second Elder Dragon...
"TES wanted to rush, Draven's damage is very high! But RNG has two Teleports!!!"

"369 went back too, but Knight was interrupted by Xiaoming!! It looks like it's about to end!!"

"369 is big, Cryin is going to die, but Little Tiger..."

"He used a Gale Force!! E to create distance, and there's still a Gale Force effect, 369 can't keep up!! Target the base, target the base, RNG is going to the loser's bracket finals!!!"

Miller was quite excited as he watched Xiaohu's Lucian fire shot after shot at the crystal.

This match was so exciting! Dragon steal, base raid!
RNG turned a game that was initially at a huge disadvantage into a brilliant strategic situation.

"Congratulations to RNG! Perfect strategy, using the Elder Dragon as a distraction, they won this crucial game!!"

Miller couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Brilliant! This match was absolutely fantastic.

If the winners' bracket final between LGD and FPX was LGD's ultimate performance, then...

This is going to be a chaotic free-for-all between the two sides!!!
TES highlighted that their muscles were fine, but their brains weren't so good.

RNG repeatedly outmaneuvered and backdoored them, and in the end, they even managed to steal their base!

The camera focused on the older brother in front of the TES match, whose eyes showed a hint of loneliness.

He didn't know either, but TES had definitely strengthened their roster this year, but
Why have we become like this?
He slowly stood up and patted Mark's shoulder with a hint of helplessness.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing!"

The older brother comforted everyone, and Xiaoming from the other side had already led the RNG team over.

Xiao Ming smiled at his brother: "Wenbo! It's okay, good luck in the Summer Tournament!"

My brother's lips twitched slightly. SSM is really despicable!
Keep it up!

The older brother simply responded to Xiaoming's teasing in a grand manner.

Actually, the next match will be quite challenging for RNG, as FPX eliminated them in the last round.

Now they've encountered FPX in the loser's bracket, and RNG will once again face this huge challenge.
"rest assured!"

"Brother Chicken already said it!"

Xiao Ming's lips curled up slightly.
"There's a reason behind RNG's revival match!"

The older brother paused for a moment, stunned.
Is this RNG's revival match?
You know what, it really is true!
This RNG team in the revival match feels really different from before.

Karsa, standing next to him, smiled helplessly and shook his head somewhat forlornly.

He had a premonition. As a player who had been competing in professional matches for so many years, he knew that every year was very important for a professional player.

His outburst against 369 in the last round wasn't because he disliked 69, but because he felt that 69 was at his best age.

We should do better, and we must do better.

369 may not have such a good opportunity in the future.

Just like this year, in just one year, TES went from the World Championship semifinals to the LPL semifinals.

JKL and Knight may have a chance in the future, but I may never have another chance.

RNG has advanced to the loser's bracket final, leaving only three teams in the LPL playoffs.

However, FPX is no longer the same team as when they were on a winning streak.

They may be a team with a very high ceiling, as they have already proven in 19.

FPX themselves may not have realized that what they need is not a top laner who is a "daddy" in the game, but a "daddy" in life and in their daily lives!
After RNG defeated TES 3-2, everyone's opinion on the LPL semifinals has changed once again.

TES, who were highly anticipated by the audience, fell, and everyone is now more optimistic about FPX.

After all, FPX defeated RNG in the previous round.

However.
Next up isn't RNG, but Concept God!
RNG in the revival match!!!

Just one day later, RNG faced off against FPX.

One of the commentators for this match was once again FPX's "lucky star"—Guan Zeyuan! FPX won their first match against RNG quite smoothly.

Taking the lead in one game eased the tension within the FPX team somewhat and gave FPX fans a little more peace of mind.

After all, FPX's win rate, as commented on by Guan Zeyuan, is terrifyingly low.

However, just when they saw a glimmer of hope...
In RNG's rest room, Xiaohu slightly raised his head.

Bearing the name of the "revival match," they cannot afford to lose!
Moreover, LGD has already demonstrated how to counter teams with such a super top laner.

RNG's subsequent tactical changes were quite obvious, and they began to focus entirely on protecting Xiaohu.

Even if Niu Guli loses the early laning phase, three or even four people often come to surround him and put pressure on him.

No matter what, Niu Bao is still human, and he will make mistakes under such high pressure.

Moreover, once the top lane fails to break the deadlock, team fights become Xiaohu's comfort zone.

RNG's team fight coordination was impeccable, and they used a series of small team fights to their advantage to win three consecutive games.

They gave FPX absolutely no chance to fight back and won the match.

Guan Zeyuan stood in the commentary booth and pursed his lips.
No, buddy?

Is it really true that I'm the nemesis of FPX?
This is too weird!?
When RNG secured the victory, the chat in the official live stream exploded with excitement.

"RNG's revival match buff, Guan Zeyuan's commentary on FPX's debuff, do you really want FPX to die?"

"Niu Guli's expression is off!"

"LGD is so wicked, they practically taught RNG how to beat FPX!"

"With FPX, if the top laner doesn't carry, then nobody else will! They're all just slackers!"

"LGD, just wait! RNG has fought their way out of the revival round!"

"RNG: Is this the revival match?"

When Xiaohu stood on the stage and bowed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This year's Spring Split was quite nerve-wracking for them.

From being chased down and crushed by Di Wu in the top lane during the Demacia Cup to finishing second in the regular season, and now making it to the LPL Spring Split finals in the revival tournament.

He's back!!!
Xiao Hu clenched his fists.
In the post-match interview, Xiao Hu gripped the microphone and spoke to his opponent.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaohu, the top laner from RNG!"

As soon as Xiaohu introduced himself, the entire venue erupted in cheers.

"Let's congratulate RNG on successfully advancing to the LPL Spring Split finals. How is Xiaohu feeling right now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu's lips twitched slightly, but he quickly returned to his normal demeanor.

His tone was quite calm: "I'm very happy to have made it to the Spring Split finals, and I hope we can have a good performance in the finals as well."

Luo Xin, standing next to her, had a slightly forced smile on her face, but she didn't know why she felt like laughing.

She absolutely did not mean to mock Xiaohu; she was just looking at Xiaohu's "mature" eyes.
Cough!

"So, in the next match, you will be facing LGD, the team that finished first in the regular season, in the finals. LGD's performance in the playoffs is currently unstoppable. I wonder what preparations RNG has made? And what preparations has Xiaohu made personally?"

There is only one ticket to the MSI finals in the next Spring Split.

Only the final winner can go to MSI, and LGD can be said to have completely dominated the LPL region in the Spring Split this year.

LGD's dominance in the LPL is even stronger than DK's dominance in the LCK.

It remains to be seen how well RNG, who have overcome numerous obstacles, can perform against LGD.

Xiao Hu's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
"LGD has played exceptionally well this year, hasn't they? The entire team is in top form, so hopefully the finals will be a fantastic match!"

"We are under a lot of pressure to beat them, but we will make all the preparations. This match is a big challenge for both RNG and me!"

Xiao Hu's interview still revealed a kind of official tone typical of adult men in the workplace.

"From my personal perspective..."

"I'll burn myself out to win this best-of-five series!"

Xiao Hu pursed his lips.
Although he didn't continue speaking, a sentence began to echo in the minds of the audience below the stage and even Luo Xin standing next to him.
"There's no fine salt in the army!!"

In the hotel where LGD was resting, Di Wu had completely lost his composure.

Tiger!!!
Burning yourself? That would be incredibly bright!

Hahahahahaha!

Xiao Hu always manages to say such humorous things with such a serious expression—it's simply amazing!
hmm~
Peanut, who was standing next to him, couldn't hold back any longer. He had been playing in the LPL for almost a year and a half, so he could understand Xiaohu's interview.

Xiao Hu's serious humor is exactly the same as Chicken Bro's!
Little Peanut couldn't help but glance at Di Wu beside him, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
"Wanghu, why are you looking at me with that meaningful look?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something happy!"

Little Peanut simply pursed his lips and gave a brief explanation.

During the interview with Xiaohu, Luo Xin asked at the end: "Today we can see many fans here to support RNG. It's not easy for RNG to fight their way up from the first round of the loser's bracket. Xiaohu, is there anything you want to say to RNG's fans?"

"Yes! Please trust us!"

Xiao Hu nodded firmly.

Da Zi, who was watching the live stream from the second channel, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hahahaha!! Little Tiger!"

"The finals this weekend! Wuhan!"

"To prop up a collapsing building, to turn the tide in time!!!"

"Standing before you now is the Spring Tiger Emperor, who fought his way out of the revival round!!!"

He mimicked Xiao Hu's tone, slightly raising his voice as he uttered that timeless classic line.

"Liars will have to swallow a thousand needles!"

At that moment, Xiao Hu, who was in the interview area, felt his body tremble.
hiss!
For some reason, he always felt that there was something dirty behind him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hu couldn't help but shudder again.
Is spring coming to an end?
. . . . . .
