The Rivalry That Lowkey Changed League of Legends

Two of the most storied franchises in the LPL, IG and RNG have competed for domination of the league since the beginning. But in 2018, both teams were at their peak.

In a year where the LPL conquered League of Legends, Royal Never Give Up and Invictus Gaming were each other's greatest domestic rivals. They pushed each other to be better, and their clashes in the playoffs were legendary.

Fans will never forget Uzi's triumph at MSI, Rookie's powerful moment on stage after Worlds. But without their greatest competition in the LPL, who knows if either would have achieved as much as they did? Who knows if League would have been forever changed.

And if you liked this video on IG and RNG's rivalry in 2018, on Feb. 7 they’ll play the last regular season match before the LPL breaks for the Lunar New Year -- a widely televised event in China called the “Esports Spring Gala."

This year’s match is going to be crucial for RNG, who might finally be able to contend for the title again, and for IG, who are fighting for a playoff spot.

If you're interested, check it out -- the series is scheduled to start at 3 a.m. PT/ 6 a.m. ET on Feb. 7.
