The 2018 "League of Legends" Global Finals may be a pain that will never be erased in the hearts of all RNG fans.
That year, RNG won the Spring Championship and the Mid-Season Invitational Championship, but just when it was one step away from the Grand Slam, it fell in the quarterfinals of the S8 Global Finals.
In the first half of 2018, RNG had endless scenery and gained the support of the stars, but after losing to G2, RNG's reputation instantly fell low, and it was criticized by countless players, and all kinds of voices were heard endlessly. It was also after that year that the "best RNG" in the minds of players began to fall apart, no one wanted to mention that game anymore, and RNG faded its former glory.
After more than three years, S8 Global Finals champion FMVP player Ning Wang joined the GNR team, and this entertainment anchor team has also received a lot of attention due to the addition of a number of retired popular players. After Ning Wang joined GNR, the strength of the team has greatly improved, and the program effect of several people even Mai's commentary has been particularly good. Just recently, when Ning Wang and Letme, AJ, and Posture Lianmai were explaining the LPL Spring Games, Ning Wang revived the old story and asked Yan Junze how he felt about the game with G2 that year.
For this matter, Letme also did not shy away from talking about the feelings and team status at that time, Yan Junze frankly said: When RNG lost to G2, that feeling was the same as when iG lost to TL in 2019.
Ning Wang also said that after seeing RNG lose to G2, he was also very surprised, and even felt that G2 was too fierce, but after the fight, he found that it was not so fierce: "After the fight, I found that it was not fierce at all." ”
Yan Junze also said that from the beginning of the S8 training match at that time, it has been felt that RNG is not far away, and the feeling of the training game is very strange, but what is specific cannot be said. For Letme, after all, he has been in a team for three or four years, what kind of feeling can be experienced, Yan Junze said bluntly: "At that time, the situation of our training game could be felt, the problem was very big, but there was no way." Then he also ridiculed: "The command is not in my hands, I understand everything!" ”
And Ning Wang also revealed the mental journey of winning the championship that year, iG was very afraid of meeting RNG, and did not have confidence in himself, but finally won the championship. King Ning said, "When we were in a half-zone with you, we panicked, the pressure was bossed, and we never won. Don't tell you that when we played KT, all the staff had already looked at the ticket. ”
Although it has been three years, the match against G2 has also become an indelible scar in the history of the RNG team. The old players who fought together have fallen apart, Mlxg is in a lawsuit, Letme and Gesture have gained fans' love in the live broadcast, Uzi has comeback after retiring, but he can only be a substitute, only Xiaohu and Ming are still holding on to RNG.
