Faker: Xiaohu senior, can I call you Yuanhao brother?

However, Lin Xiu immediately noticed that Leng Shao was suspended for the next match, and Juejue, who was playing as a jungler, would be taking over the mid-lane position.

He immediately changed his tune and started mocking the comments section.

"Following up, Leng Shao is suspended for the next game, what's the point of you guys saying all this?"

"And let me tell you, EDG's problem isn't their mid laner's laning phase. In the entire LPL, aside from Xiaohu and Rookie, who doesn't Scout have a lane advantage against?"

"But which game did EDG win easily? Even when they had an early advantage across all lanes, they could drag it out for 30-40 minutes, needing two Baron fights to secure a victory."

"Is this a problem with laning? This is a problem with your mindset!"

[Damn, Cold really is suspended. Scout got a huge bargain. He's just filling in as a mid laner, and getting ten kills in lane is nothing.]

[The streamer is still getting anxious; he's really worried about not being able to beat weak teams.]

"You guys, let me analyze this seriously with you, don't change the subject."

"The Spring Split is now halfway through, and there's only one month left until the playoffs, followed by MSI."

Let's analyze the current level of the three major teams in the LPL rationally.

"The highest ceiling belongs to RNG, with Xiaohu's lane dominance, Xiangguo's unreasonable ganks, and Uzi's absolute dominance in the bottom lane."

"The mid, bot, and jungle lanes are all very strong, and the top lane is particularly resilient under pressure, so they can't collapse no matter what."

"Moreover, RNG's game strategy is absolutely clear."

"Sacrificing the jungler's development, Mlxg often didn't even farm jungle monsters, but still tried to create opportunities and protect the development of Uzi, the super carry in the bottom lane. His thinking was very clear."

"However, RNG also has its problems. Their performance fluctuates too much. If Uzi really goes crazy and becomes a mad dog, they'll definitely be finished if they feed too much."

"WE is actually quite similar to RNG, with strong mid, bot and jungle, and top laner who can withstand pressure."

"However, WE is more balanced, mainly relying on the synergy between the mid, jungle and support to constantly initiate small team fights to accumulate advantages and win the game."

"Looking at EDG, their rigid Korean-style macro play, even if they gained some advantage in the early game thanks to Scout's laning ability..."

"But the mid-game was too conservative, and the advantage could not be expanded. The opponent could keep dragging it out, waiting to gamble on the Baron fight at the end. It seems conservative, but it is actually a gambler's mentality."

"When facing a weak team, if they are at a huge disadvantage in the early laning phase, they may be completely outmaneuvered by your macro play, or they may be led by the nose and forced into a Baron fight. It does look very stable."

"But when you face a strong team, you simply don't have the ability to finish the game; to be honest, you're just giving away the win."

Faker, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

"In this version, there are too few ways to end the game. Someone has to step up and be more aggressive, otherwise a small advantage can easily be dragged out."

"This person, either a jungler, constantly coordinates with the team, actively seeking rhythm and disrupting the balance."

"Either AD, aggressive burst damage, to make the opponent lose points quickly, and then outnumber them."

"If you want to focus solely on operations, you have to avoid any mistakes, which is currently very difficult for EDG to achieve."

Some EDG fans in the live chat couldn't sit still anymore.

[You think you're a pro just because you got lucky and won one game?]

[Is WE a strong team? Did they win or not? Didn't they still sweep the competition 2-0?]

[Lin Gou has been relegated to the water dispenser again, and he's really worried.]

[Brother Li? Li the Dog! Mighty Dog!]

The streamer is furious!

Lin Xiu looked at the comments and shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to retort, he saw a large rocket appear in the live stream.

"RNG and Xiaohu sent a giant rocket*1."

Before Lin Xiu could speak, several golden lights flashed past.

"RNG and Xiaohu sent 10 rockets!"

The special effect of ten giant rockets launching in succession completely dominated the screen, and Lin Xiu and Lee Sang-hyeok's faces were submerged in the golden special effects.

"Wow! Thank you so much, General Tiger, for the ten rockets! Tiger is so generous!"

Lin Xiu burst into laughter, pulling over Lee Sang-hyeok beside him.

"Hey Li, look! Your idol, the mid-laner, is sending you gifts!"

Lee Sang-hyeok's previously calm eyes instantly lit up, and he even somewhat awkwardly straightened his collar.

He bent down slightly towards the camera and said earnestly in fluent Chinese:

"Thank you for the gift, Senior Xiaohu. I'm very happy. May I call you Brother Yuanhao?"

Just then, a striking, bold, colored comment popped up at the top of the live stream, from Xiaohu's own ID:

RNG, Xiaohu: "Of course."

"Yuanhao, do you think I played Galio pretty well today?"

The viewers in the live chat were completely taken aback by the humble tone.

Is it alright?

[Li Ge looks just like a fangirl who's been noticed by her idol.]

[Xiao Hu: Brother, don't do this, I'm scared!]

RNG, Xiaohu:

"Haha, I just finished watching the replay of your game against IG. The Camille and Galio combo was so cool."

"Since we're both streaming, how about we queue up for a few games? Xiangguo's here too."

good chance!

Lin Xiu had previously observed that Faker no longer experiences any mental fluctuations when facing Clearlove.

His overall communication and demeanor were perfectly normal.

So he's been thinking about whether he can improve Faker's relationship with the entire RNG team by having them interact more.

This would allow him to face the RNG team directly in the match without being scared into tears.

Little Tiger has essentially delivered himself to our doorstep.

"Okay! Tiger, pull us up!" Lin Xiu shouted.

......

At this moment, the RNG training room was brightly lit.

Mala Xiangguo had just returned from the bathroom, fastening his belt as he glanced sideways at Xiaohu, who was staring at the screen and grinning foolishly beside him.

"Hey, Yuanhao, your grin is practically reaching your ears."

Xiangguo plopped back into his gaming chair, leaned closer, and took a look.

"So you've been spending most of the night streaming not playing ranked matches, but just sending people rockets? Ten big rockets, that's five thousand yuan! When did you become so generous?"

Ming, standing next to him, also took off his headphones, his face full of teasing:

"I heard it too. Faker, the new mid laner for EDG, kept calling Yuanhao 'brother' with such respect."

"Tiger, you're something else! You quietly recruited a mid-laner who crushed Rookie in his LPL debut?"

Xiao Hu chuckled, scratched his head, and looked a little embarrassed:

"Don't talk nonsense, he was just being polite. But seriously, being called an idol by a player of this caliber after the match feels amazing! Xiangguo, come quick, I've arranged to play with them."

"Look how pleased you are with yourself."

While skillfully opening the client to send team invitations, Xiangguo casually made some comments.

"Uzi gets confessed to by AD carries from various leagues every day. If each of them sent him ten rockets, he would have gone bankrupt long ago."

"You two finally managed to get in touch with EDG, and instead of arranging a scrim, you went to play flex queue?"

"You think you can reach the popularity target by just duo-queuing with Uz for a few games like you do? Xiaohu and I are still far behind."

"By the way, where's Uzi? Weren't you guys just playing ranked games? Someone said in an interview that RNG is their favorite team, shouldn't we have our team's soul, Uzi, come out and chat with them for a bit?"

"He was about to lose a game just now, and since his teammates wouldn't help, he just went to take a shower. Let's talk to him when he gets back."

RNG players' live streaming contracts have strict time limits and popularity targets.

Due to RNG's demanding schedule in March, with a match against EDG at the beginning of the month and WE in the middle, there's a high probability they won't have much time for proper streaming.

Let's take advantage of the current hype surrounding Lin Xiu and Faker's livestreams and quickly form a queue to join them.

That way I can slack off at the end of the month.

Of course, Xiaohu definitely has a high opinion of Faker.

Since their performance collapsed in the second half of Season 6,

Xiao Hu felt like the whole world was attacking him.

They were so badly criticized that they weren't even worthy of carrying the shoes of those South Korean foreign players.

It's rare to find a professional player who stands up for themselves and acknowledges their own abilities; this is truly commendable!

I, Li Yuanhao, accept this underling!
