RNG takes home the ESL One LA Online title for China after dominating Newbee 3:1 in the grand finals.
RNG might not have had the most outstanding DPC 2019-2020 season, but they certainly did manage to hold their own. The team is currently sitting just outside the top 12 mark -- in 13th place and is the fourth-ranked Chinese team in the circuit. Although no one even knows that means right now in terms of the season or TI2020, it still means that RNG have had a noteworthy season and is among China's top.
After taking the first seed in groups, taking all five of their played series (with an impressive 10-2 game record), they were seeded directly into the upper bracket finals. Another series win and decisive victory led them to the grand finals where they continued to dominate over their opponents.
