Leader: The finalists have begun, and various problems have occurred on the first day of the arena, such as players cannot be present, equipment needs to be cleaned, etc. Fortunately, the game went smoothly in the end. By the time the RNG and DRX competition began, it was already the second day of local time.
Reasonablely, both teams were very tired at this time. After a long journey to the outside competition area, they don’t have much time to rest and adjust. The first day of the game was still the next day, and the players' condition was worrying. However, the players of the two teams are in the same situation, so this cannot be used as an excuse. In the first day's game, RNG lost to DRX.
RNG lost to DRX once in the arena, and lost again in the audience?
For this result, LPL viewers, especially RNG fans, cannot accept it. Judging from the strength of both teams, RNG and DRX are both No. 4 seeds. But the former is the spring season champion and midseason champion. It is logical that winning DRX is easy, but RNG can lose the game and lose the first game.
not only lost a game on the court, but also "lost" off the court. After the competition, the DRX contestant stood in the center of the stage and bowed to thank him. The finalists were very small, and only five people could be accommodated in the middle of the stage. After the DRX player bowed, the support beryl turned around and bowed to the RNG player to thank him.
bowing to the opponent is nothing new, it can express beryl's recognition of RNG's strength. Seeing this scene, many viewers praised Beryl for being "a big pattern". After winning the opponent, he did not be complacent or complacent, but bowed modestly and admitted that RNG was very strong.
beryl bowed and thanked after the game, but RNG team sent out the "Win the Game" poster
In comparison, LPL and RNG teams are not that humble. x station often puts some funny covers, and this time is no exception. The alpaca in the picture represents Mr. Dai, and the tiger represents Xiaohu. Doesn’t this picture tell everyone that DRX will lose to RNG, and it is difficult for Mr. Dai to win Xiaohu?
Not only this is true for LPL, but the RNG team is also full of confidence and prepared the poster for winning the game in advance. Not long after losing to DRX, RNG released the post-match news. The result of the poster is that RNG defeated DRX, which is inconsistent with the facts. It is obviously that RNG team has done it long ago. Seeing this scene, many people complained that the RNG team was too "confident" and predicted in advance that they could win.
Of course, we also know that in the eyes of most LPL viewers, anchors and even commentators, RNG wins a bigger chance of winning this game. Just like the pre-match turnout, two-thirds of the audience were optimistic about RNG's victory, and only one-third of the people supporting DRX, and some of them were RNG's "black fans". It is precisely because of this result that RNG's failure has attracted attention.
Summary
RNG team is nothing. First of all, they are a slow-heating team, and the audience, commentators, and players themselves know this. RNG has many fans in LPL commentary. Wang Duoduo said this before the match: participating in the finalists can help RNG maintain the feel, which is a good result. Xiaohu also calls himself a "slow-heating team" and is eager to try out the finalists.
Second, there are many games in the finalists, and a small loss is nothing. s9 champion FPX also had a bad start and finally won the championship. So it is understandable that the upset is just enough for the players to keep it steady. But RNG lost and lost on the field, the staff were a little "unstable".
