RNG pushed all three lanes.
Jiang Chen was top, Xiaoming, Xiangguo, and Uzi were mid, and Xiaohu was bottom.
"Pay attention to your positions, don't get caught out. Just let the siege minions slowly grind the towers."
"Alright, Old Jiang."
IG's team composition.
Didn't really have any wave clear abilities.
RNG's push this time was accompanied by the Baron buff.
They couldn't handle the wave any better.
The health of the three towers, top, mid, and bottom, was constantly being chipped away, getting lower and lower.
But whenever the IG players tried to push forward and make a last-ditch effort, RNG would decisively pull back.
"Damn, when did RNG's play style become like this? If you covered their team name, I would've thought they were playing SKT." Ning said with a hint of despair.
"Too stable! With such a huge lead in equipment, they don't even come looking for a fight. They just insist on waiting for the minions to grind the towers."
"Is this still the RNG I know?"
"RNG's coach is a real dog!"
Seeing that they couldn't engage, the IG players started cursing RNG's coach again.
"Achoo..."
Jiang Chen on the player bench sneezed unexpectedly.
It's weird. This world is truly strange, I'm diligently playing my games here, and there are people cursing me!
With another auto attack from the siege minion, the top lane tower fell. The mid and bottom lanes were also subsequently pushed.
"We have to make a move, or we're going to get pushed back."
"Go for it!"
The IG team charged forward, full of confidence.
Their two carries even emptied their pockets, popping potions.
Ready for a desperate fight.
The five players moved forward together, ensuring they could follow up on damage in a timely manner.
"Boom!"
...
The ground cracked.
A mushroom cloud exploded!
Water's blood bar dropped by more than half.
Even Rookie's Galio, with the magic immunity of his Zhonya's Hourglass, lost a third of his health.
The two carries of IG exchanged glances!
This damage is ridiculous!
An ADC stepping on a mushroom and instantly losing combat capability, is that even possible?
Is this what an ADC is?
I'm done.
Then, the five players, who were brimming with confidence just moments ago, sheepishly retreated back to their fountain.
The scene was comical from any angle.
Stepping on that mushroom!
IG's three nexus towers were destroyed, they didn't even have a chance to fight back.
They were pushed back by RNG and their nexus was destroyed.
Xiangguo took off his headset, ran to Jiang Chen's side, and gave him a hard pat on the shoulder, saying: "Old Jiang, we won, we won."
Jiang Chen also exited the "memetic" state, responding to Xiangguo's kindness, and smiled: "We still have two more games! You have to play well."
Xiaoming also walked over to Jiang Chen and bumped fists with him.
"Good calls."
"Thanks." Old Jiang was not at all modest.
Doggo walked over: "Let's head back to the lounge. You guys didn't notice, but the looks on the faces of the referee girls have become weirder and weirder."
With that, the five players burst out laughing.
They walked towards the lounge.
Doggo deliberately slowed down, walking side by side with Jiang Chen.
His eyes were filled with both nostalgia and emotion.
He said: "Old Jiang, thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
Doggo smiled, didn't reply, and continued: "I've been a pro for five years, debuted in S2, became famous in S3 with the VN, everyone called me a prodigy AD, with extraordinary talent."
"I was just one step away from that trophy."
"But that seemingly close distance was actually a world away. I spent three whole years taking that step. This year, I went 2:2 against G2, it was you who stepped forward, pulling us back from the brink."
"Being 0:2 down, it was you again."
"Who made me see a glimmer of hope in the face of despair."
"I really want to kiss that crown. This year, I don't want to lose, I just want to win, more than anyone else."
"I know."
Jiang Chen lightly patted Doggo's shoulder.
"This year, together, we'll bring the Worlds trophy back to Beijing."
"Okay."
...
The commentator desk.
Seeing IG's nexus explode, emitting a dazzling light.
The three commentators finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They said softly: "Jiang Chen's last dragon teamfight was too crucial. He secured the kill on Xayah, this game's MVP should be going to him."
Remember nodded: "If Jiang Chen gets MVP for this game, he'll have set another record. He played two games in Worlds, and both times he got MVP."
"You're making me think of the Principal's 100% win rate with Jhin."
"Haha, just kidding. HaoKai, what do you think? Who will get MVP for this game."
Remember passed the question to HaoKai.
HaoKai thought for a moment: "I think it could go to Xiangguo. His early game gank and dive with mid lane to get the first blood completely opened up their early game tempo."
"He helped Kaisa get a lot of gold, and secured the drake, which allowed Kaisa to take off. By mid-game, IG couldn't deal with her at all."
HaoKai disagreed.
While they were talking.
The background music for the MVP award started playing around the stadium.
On the screen in the middle.
A figure slowly appeared.
He was wearing RNG's uniform, his profile was sharp and angular, handsome and sunny.
It was Jiang Chen.
K/D/A-7/3/1.
Participation rate-68.3%.
Damage dealt-33.5%.
Damage taken-16.7%.
Gold difference against lane opponent-2861.
Once this stats were displayed.
"Whoa!"
The entire stadium erupted in cheers.
"Jiang Chen, he truly made history! He got another MVP!" Guan Zeyuan's voice was full of excitement.
"Yes!"
"But this history will be broken soon, right?" Remember, wearing his suit, said softly.
"Haha, definitely. Can he really get MVP for every game? Then they should just give him the Worlds trophy to carry back."
"Alright, back to the main topic, now RNG has won back a game, the score is 2:1."
The three commentators began to review the previous game.
