LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 134 LPL Dugu Qiubai, welcome to the era of Chu Shen.

For a while, many LCK netizens who were filled with anger because of the MSI defeat were filled with indignation after hearing Chu Ran's interview.

Their number one seed was beaten 3-0 in MSI, and they are now holding their breath to get back at the Intercontinental Championship.

Even before the Intercontinental Championship started, they were already fantasizing about Chu Ran being crushed by Mrin, Semb, and Cuvee.

As for Huni, all you can do is tell him not to give up. After MSI, many LCK netizens have deprived Huni of the title of the No. 1 top laner in LCK.

Especially when they saw that there were fans of Chu Ran in their own region, a large number of LCK viewers were furious, and the entire LCK forum was in an uproar!

[Shit! There are still Easy fans in our region. Expel his nationality! ]

[You really don't care about your face. Don't we have a top laner in our region? Which one of Semb, Marin, and Cuvee is not better than Huni? ]

[Easy's status as the world's No. 1 top laner was entirely due to Huni. I've already seen that Huni is the worst top laner in this Intercontinental Championship.]

[He also said that our LCK is not worthy of being his opponent. What a joke! How could their lame LPL win the Serie A championship? Winning two MSI championships really messed this guy up.]

[Let him jump around for a while longer, and his true colors will be revealed in the Intercontinental Championship. It was only because he played against Huni in MSI that some people had the illusion that he was the top laner.]

At the same time, SKT Club.

Peanut gave Huni an elbow and said with a smile: "Brother Chengxun, what do you think? Do you have the confidence to get revenge in this Intercontinental Championship?"

"Don't worry, I feel I have become stronger after coming back from MSI. I think I won't lose to him again when we meet in this Intercontinental Championship."

Huni stared at Chu Ran's interview in the video, and a strong spark burst out.

Chu Ran didn't know how Huni was spending his time in LCK after the MSI. He basically didn't dare to go out when there were no games, and even when he was hiding in the club, he received threatening letters sent by some extreme LCK fans.

It's all Chu Ran's fault.

Huni decided to settle all the new and old grudges in this Intercontinental Championship.

Faker on the other side was crossing his arms and glanced at Wolf calmly, "I said, after the last MSI, I won't lose again."

Wolf didn't say anything, but just muttered in his heart, as if Faker had said this after he failed in S4 and then returned. Then he lost in MSI. Although he did not lose since then, he didn't know if he could continue the legend this time.

"Brother Qinghuan (Marin) seems to have expressed his willingness to compete with Easy, saying that he will prove who is the world's number one top laner in this Intercontinental Championship."

"It seems that Semb and Cuvee also want to do so." Faker shook his head and said, "They are destined to be disappointed. It is not certain whether LPL can enter the finals. SKT has already won the game against EDG."

Hearing Faker's words, Xiaohuasheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Ever since Faker unfollowed Zhao Enjing, he has been really heartbroken.

All I can say is that LPL is about to suffer an old crime.

Zhao Eunjing, you ruined LPL.

The Intercontinental Championship is divided into several regions, and in Asia there are mainly three divisions participating, LCK, LPL, and the LMS in Taiwan.

The participating teams are the top four teams in the spring season in each division. The teams on the LPL side are EDG, RNG, WE, and IG, which truly gather 90% of the current LPL traffic.

The LCK side is SKT, KT, SSG, Afreeca, and the LMS side is FW, AHQ, JT, M17.

The rules are also very simple. There are only a few days of competition in total. The group stage in the front will be a BO1 round-robin of the regional rankings. That is, the first-ranked EDG will play against SKT and FW. Finally, after the group stage, the team with the most points will directly enter the finals.

The second and third rounds will be played by the coaches of both teams. A team can only play one game, and one point is counted for each win, unless the game is tied at 2-2, in which case they can play again in the fifth game. The same applies to the final.

This competition system also means that he no longer simply examines the strength of a certain team, but pays more attention to the overall strength of the competition area.

It's no wonder that Koreans are so crazy. After missing the championship at MSI, many people have already thought that their glory as the number one division in LCK is gone this year, and LPL has stepped onto the stage. This intercontinental competition is a great opportunity for them to revive LCK.

When the intercontinental tournament roster appeared, all major forums fell into heated discussions. In addition to GSL and 60E starting to tout their own teams, Han Xiaozi, who had disappeared since the end of MSI, stood up again this time and chose to face the fire from the Big Three and IG fans.

[Still fantasizing, still imagining. Let alone the finals, I suspect LPL will lose 0-4 to LCK in the group stage.]

[Don't shout, isn't that true? Only EDG still has a little hope of beating SKT, but only a little. SKT is awesome after the MSI.]

[Han Xiaozi is bragging about his dad again. Where is GSL? ? This time I agree that you should revoke their nationality. ]

[6666, this is the first time that I, a WE fan, support GSL with my real name! The most correct episode! ]

[CNM, you are such a filial son, I will bear with you for now. If you fail, I will revoke your nationality.]

[Han Xiaozi is just yelling, SKT didn't even win against KT and LZ in the summer season, and you tell me SKT is awesome? ]

[It's so funny, Khan can't come to the Intercontinental Championship this time, otherwise he will be beaten by your so-called Chu Shen. ]

[No, have you ever cared about the feelings of the LMS region? Have you excluded them by default? ]

[Nonsense, the provincial team is just here to make up the numbers. ]

The moment the list was confirmed, there was a wave of excitement across the entire Internet.

After all, after winning the MSI championship, many LPL viewers really feel that this year is the most promising year for LPL, and they have enough confidence in winning the Intercontinental Championship.

As for the many viewers who quit following LPL after the No. 5 seed in S16 reached the round of , they have more or less learned some news about the Intercontinental Championship.

When they heard many people excitedly praising a man named 'Chu Shen', they were immediately shocked.

Then when I inquired about it again, I was instantly shocked!
"No, buddy, you mean EDG got a top laner who doesn't play Maokai, and then he led EDG to win the MSI championship again, and even hasn't lost a single game so far? And he's a Chinese player, not an LCK foreign player?"

"Brother, how long have you not paid attention to LPL?"

This kind of conversation often happens between young summoners and summoners who are laning against life.

In an instant, many summoners who had quit the game and were busy dealing with their daily lives got to know Chu Ran. Then Chu Ran’s Weibo followers increased dramatically overnight, and when Chu Ran woke up in the EDG club the next day, he was stunned.

Inside the EDG club.

Chu Ran was drinking the soup of Master Kong's spicy beef noodles, which made Meiko's scalp numb. "Brother Ran, is the food in our club cafeteria really that bad? If you really can't do it, why don't you order takeout? Why are you eating instant noodles? It's not healthy."

"Um, Tian Ye, have you ever thought about a question?"

"What?"

"I'm so poor that I have to eat instant noodles, and you tell me it's unhealthy?"

"Go to hell." Meiko gave Chu Ran a look of contempt. He didn't believe that Chu Ran was poor. He was the one with the best live broadcast benefits in the club.

At this moment, Deft immediately interrupted and said, "He said that he hadn't eaten instant noodles for a long time and suddenly wanted to eat them."

"We call this kind of person a psychopath."

"Brother Kai, shut up and start training quickly, or you'll get beaten up by Peanut again and lose the reputation you worked so hard to restore."

Hearing Chu Ran's words, Ming Kai wanted to kick Chu Ran on the head, "Come on, duo, daddy will take you to fly..."

"No, I'm so tired of winning these days, I feel like nothing can arouse my interest. Brother Kai, what is the purpose of playing professionally, what is the meaning of human existence, and what is at the end of the universe."

"Brother Ran, you just played it, what about Sage Time now?" Meiko scolded with a smile, "Brother Ran, look at this, you must be interested, from the LCK forum, Huni said he killed one person with one shot in the recent training game, he is learning from you."

Looking closely, Chu Ran found that it was a post made by Huni on the LCK forum, with an emoticon package as an attachment.

A virtual character stood on the top of the mountain with his arms folded and wearing a cloak, and then at the foot of the mountain there were several characters kneeling, one of whom was clearly labeled as Chu Ran.

"and this."

As Meiko flipped the page again, she saw an interview picture of Semb with a few captions, "I hope to fight Easy. I haven't been so eager to find an opponent in a long time."

"Then the people from Cuvee and Marin all want to fight you, brother Ran, and they all want to step on you."

Meiko sighed softly. He was very disappointed that there was no support to challenge him.
This is a complete denial of oneself.

“This one is the most intolerable.”

The next second, Meiko opened a picture, which was a spoof by LCK netizens. The background was a group photo of the four top laners of LCK participating in the Intercontinental Championship. Then, PS was applied to the picture, and several large words appeared in Chu Ran's eyes.

'LPL top laner, kneel down!'

"Fuck!"

"Brother Ran, where are you going?"

"Pack your things and leave for Treasure Island tomorrow. I, Chu Ran, cannot stand such arrogant people in my life. I suddenly feel full of strength and passion. Burn, my little universe!"

Seeing Chu Ran like this, Meiko and the others were all dumbfounded, and then they looked at each other, thinking that they would never be able to learn Chu Ran's abstraction in their lifetime.
The next day, July 7, amidst the enthusiastic reports from countless domestic e-sports media, all four LPL teams arrived at the venue of the Intercontinental Championship, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

"Wow, I hope to be able to climb this place anytime, anywhere one day."

"Xiao Ran, how about you consider finding a Taiwanese girl and go back home to enjoy the feeling of riding a motorcycle every day."

Ming Kai put his arm around Chu Ran's neck, with a wicked smile on his face, making Chu Ran ashamed to associate with such a person, "Brother Kai, Taiwanese girls are insulting in Taiwan, similar to the spirited girls in our country."

"Is there any other way to say this?"

"It's terrible to be uneducated. I told you to study, but you feed pigs."

"Hahaha." Pawn suddenly burst into laughter. "No, Xiaoran, I can't hold back what you said. Your brother Kai is the director of the pig farm. What else does he feed if not pigs?"

Upon hearing this, Mingkai's face turned red instantly, and he performed Muay Thai in front of Pawn, and Chu Ran's words echoed again.

"Stop, stop, don't fight anymore.
Amidst laughter and joy, Chu Ran and others arrived at the hotel provided by the organizer. As soon as they entered the hotel, Chu Ran and others were interviewed by many reporters from Taiwan. It was completely different from when they went to MSI before. Now Chu Ran and other members of EDG are famous all over the world.

"Hello, Easy, what do you think about this Intercontinental Championship? I heard that the four top lane masters in LCK are sniping you, and there are also several top lane masters in our LMS. Do you think you can continue your dominance in the top lane?"

Chu Ran smiled, and said in front of the cameras held up by countless reporters: "I don't know whether I can rule or not, but I have only one goal in this intercontinental competition, and that is that I just want to be beaten to tears by all the teams in this intercontinental competition, or I want to beat all the teams in this intercontinental competition to tears." After Chu Ran finished speaking, the sound of shutters kept flashing.

Gao Zhenning, who was standing nearby, curled his lips, feeling very unhappy about Chu Ran's dominance.

"Why are you showing off? It's just an MSI championship."

"Ning, you're jealous."

"Song Yijin, I just don't like his style." At this point, Gao Zhenning turned around and said to Theshy: "Brother Shy, when the time comes, you will make the opponent's top laner cry and overshadow this guy."

Theshy nodded a little embarrassedly, while Uzi in the RNG team was jealous to the point of going crazy when he saw Chu Ran talking in front of countless reporters.

Obviously, he should be the one being the focus of so many people.

How abominable!

Since you are proud of being simple, why should you be sad?

Thinking of this, Uzi swung his little fist heavily and hit Xiaohu's thigh, causing Xiaohu to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

Niang Xipi!
Xiaohu follows the local customs and curses in his heart, "You're also famous when others are interviewed by reporters. You've become famous in just one year."

"Don't bother me this time. I'm going to let the three regions see who is the best ADC in the world in the Intercontinental Championship. Deft, Ruler and the others are the shockwaves!"

Just as Chu Ran and others were enthusiastically accepting the interview, Meiko pulled Chu Ran's sleeve and said, "Brother Ran, LCK is here."

At a glance, several LCK teams were seen approaching, which made countless reporters ecstatic, with shutter sounds and flashes constantly heard.

Several LCK top laners came to greet Chu Ran.

Marin took the lead and walked over, extending his right hand towards Chu Ran. "Hello, Marin, you can call me Qing Huan. I haven't wanted to fight someone in the top lane so much in a long time. I hope that we can fight each other once. I think you won't let me down."

Then, Semb came up and said hello, "Semb, it's an honor to meet you."

"Hello, if we had the chance to fight each other, you wouldn't be so happy to know me."

Seeing Chu Ran grinning, Semb was a little stunned and immediately laughed awkwardly. He thought that it was just as Huni said, his words were so infuriating.

Next, Cuvee came up again. "Cuvee, I'm looking forward to playing against you, but it's a pity that one of us can't meet you in the Intercontinental Championship. This is good for you because I don't think you want to meet me."

After hearing this, Mingkai and the others all frowned. Chu Ran shook hands with Cuvee and said calmly, "Huni said the same thing when he first met me."

Xiba!

After hearing Chu Ran's standard Korean, Huni quickly gave up the idea of ​​greeting Chu Ran. His chubby face turned slightly red, and he vowed in his heart to successfully take revenge in this intercontinental competition.

Cuvee and the others did not say anything. Since the MSI, they and other teams have also reviewed the game and all agreed that the reason why Huni was able to win the Spring Championship in the first half of the year was because of the favorable situation.

Cuvee was the solo kill king of last year's S game. He is different from Huni.

"By the way, you should hope not to run into me, otherwise I'm afraid your teammates will hit you with a baseball bat after the game. If you run into me this time, then I suggest you wear a helmet when you play. If you don't run into me this time, then I suggest you buy a helmet as soon as possible, because you will need it sooner or later."

"Don't you think so, Master An?"

Chu Ran put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together and greeted Master An, which made Master An look gloomy.

Although he does like to bully with a baseball bat, it would be rude to say it in public.

After Chu Ran finished speaking, Cuvee felt a little unhappy, but he felt that Chu Ran's words made sense, and he needed to prepare a helmet in advance.

Because of the format of this intercontinental competition, even if EDG plays two games in the final, he can only play three games, so there will be a top laner he cannot meet.

The conversation between Chu Ran and others also made the reporters particularly excited. Who could have thought that they would be on edge just after meeting? There would be a lot of things to write in the news.

All of a sudden, I don't know who suggested that the LCK and LPL teams take a few photos together according to their positions. No one refused, but when many reporters took photos of the LPL and LCK top laners, they suddenly became excited.

A news headline suddenly appeared in my mind.

A moment later, the hot search titled "The Last Stand of the Domestic Top Lane" quietly appeared on the LPL hot search.

All of a sudden, countless netizens were discussing this hot search.

[Fuck, this is really a good show. Brother Tui is pretty good, but it’s a bit abrupt to include Letme in the mix! ]

[Hahaha, no, how dare Letme take photos with so many top laners? ]

[If nothing else, Letme has already won. Chushen, Theshy, Huni, Semb, Cuvee, Marin, and 957 took a photo with him. He will finally have something to brag about when he writes his autobiography.]

[To be honest, he is indeed the last Chinese top laner. Among the three Chinese top laners, only Chu Shen has the suppression power of the top top laner.]

[Stop bragging, the domestic ones are trash. Who else can they beat except Huni? ]

[Han Xiaozi, get out of here, I'm afraid it's not 50, I'm reporting it. ]

[I think it only costs 250 yuan to renounce Chinese citizenship. Can Han Xiaozi renounce his citizenship? GSL, are you guys eating shit? Revoke their citizenship! ]

June 7, afternoon.

The much-anticipated Asian Intercontinental Championship has quietly arrived.

With the encouragement of major media yesterday, more and more people are paying close attention to this intercontinental competition. It is worth mentioning that in addition to supporting the teams in their own regions, the local audiences in Taiwan are more optimistic about LCK.

LPL backstage lounge.

Chu Ran and others are all sitting here. Abu is the head coach of this intercontinental competition, and no one knows how he got there.

"Brother Ran, it seems like many people here in Taiwan hope that we lose to LCK."

"They are like this." Chu Ran was editing his Weibo, and then he heard Abu's voice, "Today's time is tight. The Intercontinental Championship only has three days. The first day is for the group stage, the second day is for the semi-finals, and the last day is for the finals. Come on, everyone, show the power of our LPL."

In an instant, the entire backstage was filled with the roars of countless players. Although everyone was at odds with each other in the LPL, they still reluctantly shared a common hatred of the enemy during foreign wars.

At this moment, at the LPL stadium in Shanghai Zhengtai Plaza, the official organized an offline viewing event, allowing many people who could not go to Taiwan to watch the game live to come here to watch the live broadcast offline. At the same time, PDD, Da Sima and Wei Xiao were also invited as offline commentators.

Many viewers were constantly refreshing their Weibo. The game was about to begin, but Chu Ran's Weibo status had not been updated yet, which made many people anxious.

The next second!
When they refreshed again, Chu Ran's Weibo appeared in front of their eyes.

Weibo EDG-Easy:

[Countless netizens have been asking me how deep my hero pool is. I can only tell you this: when League of Legends came out, I was already the best in the world with warriors and tanks. After that, I worked hard to practice magic. A few months later, I was invincible with magic in the League. A few years later, I became proficient in AD and dominated the canyon. Not long ago, I realized that I no longer care about heroes when I go to the top lane. Any hero can appear in the top lane. So far, I have entered the realm of a top lane immortal. ]

[From now on, this era is called Chu Ran. You are all welcome to challenge me. Masters are lonely, and I just want to be defeated. ]

[Please help forward LMS and LCK, thank you! ]

Not surprisingly, when Chu Ran sent out this Weibo post, it was instantly forwarded by many people who liked to have fun, and immediately caused a sensation on the forums of the three major competition areas.

[6666, what LPL Dugu Qiubai! ]

[No, you beast, what are you pretending to be? You were so strong before you looked at the water dispenser? ]

[I am dying of laughter. When it comes to talking dirty, Chu Shen is second to none. 】

[Is Chu Shen being abstract or serious? Does this mean he can play any hero? ]

[Of course, you think you are the best? If you don’t have a mirror, you can always have urine. ]

[Get out of the way, animals don’t have what I have, and I don’t have diabetes, so I can’t let animals taste the sweetness. ]

Instantly, after the audiences in the entire LMS and LCK regions understood the meaning of Chu Ran's Weibo post, they all gnashed their teeth, and many people at the scene began to cheer for SKT in the first game today.

In the LPL backstage, many people gave Chu Ran thumbs up, but there were still a few who sneered at Chu Ran, such as Condi and Mystic. The conflict between the two of them and Chu Ran was irreconcilable.

Gao Zhenning even crossed his legs, hoping that Chu Ran would be beaten by Huni.

Uzi was frantically reporting Chu Ran’s Weibo. In fact, he also posted a Weibo, but compared with Chu Ran’s Weibo, its popularity was not enough.

He was really angry.

Not only could he not beat him in the competition, he couldn't even beat him in posting dirty talk on Weibo. With a blushing face, he silently stole Chu Ran's Weibo post and would use it when he had the chance in the future.

At the same time, he punched Xiaohu, making Xiaohu so angry that his teeth itched.

If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?

He raised his hand immediately, but when he saw Uzi's red eyes, Xiaohu smiled instantly, "Oh, it's a little itchy, scratch it."

The chameleon tiger showed its full power at this moment. Although Xiaohu wanted to show his power, he didn't dare to. I heard that RNG now has a new jungler in Twilight, and it is FW's jungler Karsa.

It doesn't count as violating the rules of the all-Chinese class.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chu Ran and the others had already stepped onto the stage amid the host's calls. In this hall on this beautiful island, the voices cheering for SKT and Faker were extremely loud.

The live broadcast rooms of major competition areas were full of heated discussions. Compared to some people who wanted to see EDG win, more people wanted to see EDG collapse. No one wanted a strong team like EDG to come out and suppress them.

Just like SKT back then, countless people hope to see SKT lose.

At this moment, in the SKT competition seat, Huni was chewing gum with a confident look on his face.

"Don't worry, I really will kill them with one shot this time. I'm not kidding you. Just let me grow up and I will kill the opponent's top laner with one shot. I'm invincible!"
