For professional League of Legends or eSports in particular and any sport in general, if there is no achievement or no strong investment, it is completely normal to a team at the top of the glory. In the past, for League of Legends, there were many teams that used to be extremely powerful, even winning the World Championship, but later for many reasons that until now, they still cannot find glory, or disappear from the world League of Legends village. But there is a name that is considered to be pride and representative of an entire area, now falling down without braking in just a few short years that makes the community stunned, it is Royal Never Give Up.
RNG is in a difficult situation
Recently, the “royal army” of LPL has announced the squad to prepare for the confrontation with Ultra Prime. Notably, it is a series of positions of RNG changing when Iwandy (support) now has to move to the jungle position, while Tanguyan is a middle line to support. Only Huanfeng, Xzz and Juice are playing in the right position. Worth mentioning, the forest position of Iwandy earlier belongs to Geju. However, even though he has only joined RNG about half a month, he received a penalty of up to 50k yuan (nearly 175 million) because of his provocative words towards the BLV of the tournament when he was not chosen as MVP.
The squad is almost completely disturbed while only one player is fined
But this reluctant assembly also shows a problem: RNG is no longer attractive to attract quality players. Both Geju or Iwandy only joined RNG in early July and both are not famous names. Juice in the top and XZZ in the middle lane was traced from the academy team and the youth team. The only quality name in RNG is probably Huanfeng and former Runner -up of Worlds, which is also often the best player in the squad of the Royal Army.
Huanfeng is now the brightest star of RNG
RNG's reality is a sad situation for the team that has been and is still the “MSI king” when winning this tournament the most. But maybe soon, RNG will become a former king, especially when they almost have no way to return to the peak period with the upper -floor troubles that this team is facing.
