Korea.
Busan.
The celebration of the RNG fans continues.
“What a beast from heaven.”
“From now on, just for this operation where Jiang Chen pulled RNG out of the abyss, I’ll be his fan for life.”
“Me too, I’m a brainless fan, no explanation needed.”
…
The fans at the scene were truly excited.
This year, RNG gained countless fans with its powerful dominance.
They thought this team could sweep all the powerful opponents like in MSI, bringing back the first S-series championship for LPL.
But unexpectedly.
They encountered G2 in the quarterfinals.
And they were even forced into a do-or-die situation.
At such a critical moment of life and death.
Jiang Chen pulled RNG back from the brink of defeat, how could this not gain him fans? How could this not be inspiring?
Many little sisters holding RNG fan signs have already started searching for Jiang Chen’s name on Baidu.
But before this match.
Jiang Chen was just an unknown player who only drank water, so of course, his personal information wouldn’t be included on Baidu Baike.
The more so.
The more curious RNG fans were about Jiang Chen.
A top laner so strong shouldn't have no basic information!
…
The camera shifts back to the commentary booth.
“Will the interaction between Jiang Chen and Ming this round be on Up for the win tonight?” Miller asked Shen Chao.
As professional commentators.
They have to make the guest commentator feel ‘at home’.
So.
Wawa and Miller would intentionally bring the conversation to Shen Chao after a few words.
Shen Chao nodded with a smile: “It’ll definitely be on Up for the win top 1.
This kind of operation, turning the tide of battle on his own, is rare in the World Championship.
Faker’s Galio saved 5, completed the comeback.”
“Smiling’s disconnection, returning to the game and getting a Pentakill.”
“Uzi’s Vayne going behind, 1v5 cutting off the dual C’s.”
When it came to this.
Shen Chao paused.
In his eyes.
There was nostalgia, regret, and pride.
Rarely would anyone say.
The ID godlike, is Shen Chao.
Meaning.
He was a witness and participant in that classic match.
The hero he used was the robotic enemy, Rumble.
His ultimate, Inferno, hit four enemies at the blue buff’s location, which created the conditions for the dog’s flanking and reaping.
But after that match.
Uzi was the one who stood under the spotlight.
Shen Chao, even the ID godlike, was forgotten by most people.
If it wasn’t for the suicidal Sejuani, Shen Chao might not have returned to the public eye, not become a top streamer.
Shen Chao recovered from his daze after a short while.
He continued, “These classic moments are already engraved in the history of e-sports, they’re beacons, they’re also suns. Jiang Chen’s solo flanking, getting a Pentakill, this operation is the same.”
“Why didn’t I notice that Xiao Wang was a man of culture before?”
“Yeah, he suddenly became inspired.”
“I must have got sand in my eyes!” they discussed for a few seconds at their seats.
Immediately, they shifted their gaze to the screen in the center of the stadium.
To be precise.
They were staring at the remaining health of G2’s nexus.
In RNG’s team voice channel.
“Push the nexus!”
“Push the nexus!”
“Protect the wave, we can push G2’s base in one go.”
“ADC has three seconds to respawn.” The commander at the fountain, Xiaohu, pressed tab to report the opponent’s ADC respawn time.
Ming, Uzi, and Jiang Chen were all crazily auto-attacking the nexus.
1026.
663.
432.
…
The nexus’s health was getting lower and lower.
With Jiang Chen’s final auto-attack, the nexus standing at G2’s base exploded.
Purple light scattered everywhere.
Victory!
The loud sound echoed.
Except for Jiang Chen, all of RNG’s teammates jumped up excitedly from their chairs.
As the game ended, Jiang Chen also exited his ‘highly focused’ state.
Only now did excitement appear on his face.
But only for a short moment.
He returned to a calm state.
Jiang Chen lowered his head, pulled out the keyboard from the USB port.
He started to organize things.
Xiaohu had already finished organizing his equipment and walked to Jiang Chen’s side with a smile. He patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Your performance this game was great, especially that Pentakill at the end, it made me feel like crying haha…”
Jiang Chen placed the organized keyboard gently on the desk.
He said, “Wait until we get LPL’s first world championship, then you can cry.”
“Okay!”
Ming followed behind Xiaohu and gently hugged Jiang Chen.
He didn’t say anything.
Everything was unspoken.
Ming still hadn’t washed his hair today, it was greasy.
He hugged Jiang Chen hard, “When we get the S-series championship, back in Beijing, I’ll treat you to crayfish.”
Jiang Chen smiled happily, “Two meals.”
Uzi had lost some weight this year. He grasped Jiang Chen’s hand tightly, “Brother, I was lying down this round. When you picked Riven at the start, I was still arguing with you, sorry about that.”
“It’s okay, Dogye, I was also wrong. I should’ve consulted with you beforehand.” Uzi and Jiang Chen smiled at each other simultaneously.
The two hooked shoulders and went to shake hands with the losing side.
