The BO3 at 15:00 in the LPL Summer Season usually does not attract much attention. Due to the changes in the new competition system, the matches at this time are basically the "Nirvana Group" with slightly worse records. However, today's match between RNG and UP produced an extra show effect due to the change in personnel configuration.

Because jungler Juzhi was banned for bad remarks during live broadcast, RNG's starting jungler today is Iwandy, with Tangyuan playing support and substitute mid laner Xzz in midfield.

As soon as this news was announced, the rank records of RNG players were dug up by netizens. According to Iwandy's ranking data, he had a zero win rate in the last five jungle games he played. Seeing this ranking record, RNG fans couldn't help but worry about his state during the game. Sure enough, at the end of the first game against TT, RNG died suddenly because of a big dragon wipe.

Seeing this, the fans were worried again. But surprisingly, RNG did not give up. In the second round of the BO3, they used a new big move - Xzz played jungle, Tangyuan played mid, and Iwandy returned to the support position.

This operation directly confused the director, and he didn't change the positions in the second round of the BP phase. It was not until after entering the game that the wiring of each lane was clarified for the audience's viewing experience. Netizens jokingly called this operation of the RNG coaching team "others change heroes in the global BP, and I change players in the global BP."

But it must be said that Tangyuan and Iwandy did perform better after returning to their familiar positions. Instead of making all three players uncomfortable like in the first game, it was better to let Xzz sacrifice himself. In the second game, Xzz also chose Zac as a jungler, which is extremely rare this season, and it really worked.

After 50 minutes of fierce fighting, RNG, holding the Fire Dragon Soul, relied on the explosive output of three shooters to win the game, which was also a new record for the length of the game in the LPL Summer Season. RNG won the third game in one go and won the first victory in the group match.

Given that the starting jungler is suspended for two games, RNG will most likely use the current lineup in the next BO3 against RA. I hope RNG can get better and better in subsequent games.
