RNG won the 202 1MSI championship. What did RNG win this year?

On May 24th, RNG team representing LPL Division defeated DK team in LCK Division 3-2 in the MSI final and won the MSI championship, which is the second time RNG has won the trophy.

Before the MSI, most of the audience were not optimistic about RNG team, but more optimistic about last year's S champion DK. However, the RNG team was not knocked down by outside doubts, but became more and more brave and finally gained the fruits of victory. So, what did the underdog RNG team win? According to my observation and understanding, I think RNG can win the championship mainly related to the following points.

First, the newcomers resist the pressure. Except Xiao Hu and Ming, the other three are newcomers, but unlike other newcomers, they are extremely sophisticated and give people the feeling of being an old hand. For example, Wei Daye suppressed his opponent's head in the rhythm, vision, support and competition for neutral resources in the champion Daye Canyon. Cryin in the middle of the road was equally matched with the world's number one single ShowMaker, even blasting his opponent in the key game, while GALA, who was in the shooter position, defeated his opponent in all aspects in the face of DK's genius. These three newcomers performed amazingly in the face of DK's experienced champion, thus helping RNG team successfully beat DK team.

Second, when the team is at a disadvantage, Tiger and veteran Ming can help newcomers adjust their mentality. At the same time, the two veterans also passed on a lot of competition experience to the newcomers, which also enabled the three newcomers to grow rapidly. In operation, Xiao Hu and Ming, as veterans, have not obviously regressed and often performed brilliantly. They made several perfect starts.

Third, five people unite as one. In addition, the key part of RNG's championship is that five people unite as one. RNG is at a disadvantage in BP and tactical arrangements because head coach Tabu failed to travel to Iceland with the team due to visa problems. However, in the face of such a dilemma, RNG's five teammates are more United as one, rather than fighting alone. But fully trust teammates and help each other, thus forming an irresistible team.

Fourth, we have more confidence than our opponents. Although DK was the world champion last year, it was defeated by RNG in the group stage and almost defeated by MAD in the semi-final. Therefore, before the final, RNG team's morale and confidence are more sufficient. It can also be seen in the game that RNG teammates are more daring to operate. Gala's Kasha killed the opponent's shooter with five shots, which is one of the representatives. DK's teammates played conservatively and wanted to reduce the possibility of mistakes, but it also led them to be passive most of the time, and it was natural to lose in the end.

Hard work pays off, and RNG team won the championship with its own efforts, which also made LPL fans quite excited. Perhaps, the era of LPL rule is coming.
