The Quarterfinals’ Comical Turn
During the quarterfinals, a face-off between Bilibili Gaming and Royal Never Give Up caught the audience’s attention, not just for the gameplay but for a particularly humorous moment.
Ten minutes into the third game, the camera focused on Tangyuan, RNG’s mid-laner for the tournament. While attempting a common back-to-base maneuver for shopping and teleporting back to his tower, Tangyuan was unexpectedly interrupted by ON’s Rakan, resulting in a failed teleport without a health recharge or purchases.
