LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 233 Who said the commentators were warming up? I had just finished warming up after that game where I got a crushing defeat!

In an instant, the entire scene was like a boiling ocean, and the sound waves swept towards Chu Ran and the others in the competition area like a tsunami.

Cheers and shouts resounded wildly, endlessly, piercing the eardrums of everyone present!

Every LPL viewer was roaring hysterically, incredibly excited, their expressions filled with exhilaration and pride.

"EDG is awesome! Chu Shen is awesome!"

"We're champions again—!"

"SKT played so badly, what are they doing as pro players? They should go home and raise pigs!"

The deafening roar shook the entire venue, and glow sticks and support signs were waved in the air above the sports center, causing an uproar!
At this moment, the live streaming rooms of major domestic platforms were like torpedoes exploding in the deep sea, turning into a complete mess. Huge waves suddenly appeared, and the barrage of comments surged like a tidal wave.

The level of popularity has broken the record for the highest League of Legends competition this year, causing the live broadcast to experience lag!

[6666! Champion! LPL is the number one region!]

[Haters! Stop talking nonsense! Who said LCK is strong this year? Is that all? Is that all?! They're getting beaten like bots, you know?!]

[My goodness, Chu Shen is truly amazing! The moment he stepped onto the field, EDG was like a completely different team, completely dominating SKT like they were playing against bots!]

Why aren't Han Xiaozi and the tadpoles talking? Don't you want to talk?! Are you deaf or have you forgotten your vocal cords at home?! Or do you not have keyboards or hands?!

[“LCK is definitely going to win this Intercontinental Cup,” “LCK is going to sweep 3-0,” “It’s okay, let LPL win two games, it’s a matter of courtesy, we’ll win the last one,” “Isn’t SKT a sure win in this last game?” “Chu Shen is just showing off, the commentator is even playing in the match, does he think he can beat Faker?” “Damn it, can you guys stop screwing over my Faker?” “The Intercontinental Cup has no value, what does a BO1 match prove?”]

[Haha, classic case! I mean, this Kassadin played so badly, and SKT got swept again, and there are still haters saying Chu Shen isn't as good as Faker?]

[So, Mr. Dafei, what championship did you win this year?]

[Teacher Dafei, who was highly anticipated by many fans, didn't win a single championship this year.]

[The version customization champion is a real mess. Before the competition, fans were raving that the Great Demon King was back, making it sound so real. But it turns out it was Chu Shen, the Great Demon King, who came back.]

The live chat erupted in heated discussion, with many Han Han fans and supporters furious and unable to accept the outcome.

Who would have thought that SKT would be swept by EDG again, and that their highly anticipated Faker would be completely outplayed by Chu Ran?

Seeing Faker burying his face in his hands and crying on the bench, his fans felt a mix of emotions, and some of the more devoted fans even started sobbing along with him.

How did that happen?

Could it be that the former great demon king has really turned into a loser?

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain Faker's performance from last year to this year.

This realization has saddened many SKT fans in China.

More than losing the game, they couldn't accept the fact that Faker was getting old, because Faker was their god.

But now.
On the large screen damage calculation panel, the combined damage of all five SKT players was less than the damage dealt by Chu Ran's Fizz alone, which made them even more vulnerable. Some Koreans were collectively furious after seeing SKT get taken down.

[Holy crap! All five members of SKT jumped into the sea to be eaten by sharks!]

[Black, you beast! You love eating sharks so much, why don't you just jump into the sea and go find a shark?!]

[This is absolutely ridiculous! None of the teams that participated in the Rift Rivals this year are allowed to come back, especially SKT. We LCK don't have a team that disgraceful!]

[A shutout, another shutout. If things get really bad, Faker should just retire and make way for other mid laners! Stop embarrassing yourself and preserve some dignity!]

[Who exactly is saying this year is LCK's most promising year?! What hope is there? Last year they couldn't beat the top laner, this year the opponent has moved to the mid lane, and they still can't beat them. Not only can they not beat them in the mid lane, they can't beat them in any lane.]

If Faker doesn't retire, I'm quitting the LCK.

[Stop cursing. I admit our LCK region is a weak region. We only won because we benefited from the current meta. We've been thoroughly defeated.]

Although many people in the LCK region feel sorry for Faker, a lot of insults are also emerging.

Just like in previous years, many LPL viewers are worried and angry about the future of their region, after all, they are being crushed by LCK every year.

However, things are different now. Most Koreans were originally very confident about the rise of LCK this year. You know, they attach great importance to the Rift Rivals, and even believe that the Rift Rivals is more prestigious than MSI.

When they first saw LCK take a 2-0 lead, they were overjoyed.

But when they saw LCK get chased down in two consecutive games, their mood soured, and they pinned their hopes for victory on SKT, the once legendary team. But they never expected this.

SKT not only failed to meet their expectations, but also surprised countless people.

Zero seal!

Another shutout!

It's practically like playing against a bot, or even worse. This is an utter disgrace to the LCK. They can tolerate it once, but not every time.

To date, since last year, SKT has not won against EDG, and has a 0% win rate against Chu Ran, which is completely unacceptable to them!
Some Koreans have become numb; they even genuinely believe that LCK won the previous championships by luck.

If he really had the strength, how could he have been beaten like this by Chu Ran?

Unless Chu Ran is a true god.

However, the term "god" was merely a complimentary name they used for the contestants; Chu Ran was just a mortal.

If it's not God, then there's only one possibility left.

The LCK players are all noobs in front of Chu Ran; they just can't beat him.

The current situation in LCK is exactly the same as that in LPL back then. Many Koreans quickly surrendered. LPL had Korean fans, and LCK has Chinese fans. There are even quite a few people who have become fans of Chu Ran.

They were truly beaten into submission.

At this moment, in the LCK backstage area.

Kkoma's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally sank the moment the match ended, because it was completely dead.

His eyes were filled with rage and shock. He clutched his head and screamed in despair, "Damn it! I'm going to get Black out of here! Get him out of here! I'm going to sink him into the ocean and feed him to the sharks!"

"Let's feed them together. I see that the other people here also really enjoy eating sharks."

At that moment, others couldn't help but echo their sentiments, each with a complex expression, finding it hard to accept this outcome.

In particular, the two elders of Xuanming stared blankly at the huge list of MVP candidates on the big screen.

KDA:17-0-8
Damage: 56974
Damage percentage: 43.5%
Damage conversion: 234%
Economic lead in counterpart: 6875
Next to this series of data, Chu Ran's handsome official photo came into everyone's view, causing every viewer to gasp involuntarily.

hiss--!
These terrifying statistics are especially noteworthy considering they were achieved while facing off against Faker, the former three-time world champion mid laner.

Is it that Faker is too bad or Chu Ran is too strong?

This left countless people bewildered, and also made the scene and the live broadcast room even more excited!
The two elders of Xuanming angrily slapped their thighs and let out a hysterical roar to the sky.

They lost this intercontinental tournament. Others may still have a chance to compete in such a large-scale event again, but these two don't.

After MSI, the two of them clearly felt their performance had declined, and the strength of their other teammates also dropped. In the still-unfinished Summer Split, KZ's performance was far less impressive than in the Spring Split.

This intercontinental competition was truly their last performance.

Having narrowly missed out on the Intercontinental Cup title, they couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. If they had played a little better, perhaps there wouldn't have been an overtime match between SKT and EDG.

Thinking of this, the two elders of Xuanming couldn't help but cry. They were quickly comforted by the head coach of KZ. However, this atmosphere quickly spread throughout the LCK backstage area. Deft couldn't help but shake his head and complain, "Xiao Ran is still so strong even after switching from top lane to mid lane."

"Damn it, I should have been on KT. Look at how excited Gu Shengbin is, I couldn't stand it. If it were us on KT, we would have caught him and killed him already." Mata's face was gloomy, and he spat out a few words through gritted teeth, then snorted coldly, "Sooner or later we'll beat him to tears on the field."

Hearing this, Deft smiled. Imp and Mata were old rivals, and although they actually had a pretty good relationship, they sometimes acted like enemies.

In that instant, Deft thought of himself and gave a helpless smile. Maybe Imp just wanted to prove something.

The joys and sorrows between people are not the same.

While the LCK players were lamenting, the LPL players were cheering. Only Uzi was very unhappy because this Intercontinental Cup was just like last year for him; he had simply picked up an Intercontinental Cup title, and netizens simply didn't acknowledge it.

Of course, there is another very important reason, which is that he can't stand seeing Chu Ran being so dominant and becoming the center of attention. Logically, this kind of treatment should be enjoyed by him, Uzi, but Chu Ran has taken it away.

Male Gobi!

Chu Ran stole his championship life!
boom!
Before Uzi could even smash Xiaohu's thigh, he discovered that both of his legs had been hit by two heavy punches!

Uzi looked to his left, then back to his right, and saw that Xiaohu and Xiaoming were also extremely angry, which immediately made countless question marks appear on his forehead.

"Damn! This Faker is really bad. I didn't think he was like this when he played against me. He's so bad that this guy can kill me. I bet his three world championships were bought!"

Xiao Hu has really broken down.

Chu Ran came down from the commentary booth to play this crucial game of the Intercontinental Cup, and even used his smooth skills to crush Faker. Chu Ran was already the first choice for mid laner in the Asian Games. When Chu Ran, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, appeared in the CCTV documentary, everyone made their guesses. Even WE's Xiye gave up competing with Chu Ran.

But Xiaohu didn't give up. After all, he still had a chance before the official roster was announced, such as if he could perform well in this Intercontinental Tournament.

To be honest, he was indeed the most outstanding domestic mid-laner from the LPL in this Intercontinental Cup, apart from Chu Ran.

Because the other mid laners are all Korean imports.

Xiao Hu felt a bit annoyed and angry. If he had performed a little better, Chu Ran wouldn't have had the chance to come down from the commentary booth. Or if Faker had performed a little better and crushed Chu Ran.

Xiao Hu might not necessarily have no chance if he is selected as the solo player in the Asian Games.

Xiao Ming, who was standing next to him, naturally shared the same thought. Although the support role has always been a supporting one, and although a game cannot be played without a support, the support role receives less attention and has a lower market value than the other positions.

If Shi Senming can win gold at the Asian Games, his market value and popularity will increase significantly.

Therefore, Meiko will be his competitor, but Shi Senming knows that he has a huge advantage, that is, Uzi will most likely play as the AD in the Asian Games. As the most suitable support for the 'world's number one ADC', it is not impossible for him to surpass Meiko.

But after this match, the chances of that happening suddenly decreased significantly.

How could he and Xiaohu not be angry? As for Letme, he took it all in stride. He was already thinking about retiring. He felt that his fighting spirit had been completely destroyed after being with RNG for more than a year.

Suddenly, Xiaohu and Xiaoming punched Uzi's thighs a few more times, causing screams to erupt from the cheerful backstage area.

Uzi wished he could strangle Xiaohu and Xiaoming.

It is simply a rebellion against Tiangang!

The two of them couldn't tell the difference between the two kings anymore. Uzi secretly vowed that once he returned to the club, he would definitely teach Xiaohu and Xiaoming a lesson.

But the thought that Xiaohu and Xiaoming might lose their eligibility to participate in the Asian Games greatly reduced Uzi's anger.

rest assured.

If you can't get C at the Asian Games, I, Jian Zihao, will help you. You can just quietly watch his performance from the club.

At the same time, when Miller and Guan Zeyuan saw Chu Ran's MVP stats, they immediately let out a loud exclamation.

"My God! This is Chu Shen! Incredible stats! He completely outclassed Faker! And just now, we received news from the tournament organizers that Chu Shen achieved his 1000th career kill in this match!"

"To date, Chu Shen is the fastest professional player to achieve this feat, with an astonishing average of 18.7 kills per game! And after this match, Chu Shen's KDA reached an unprecedented 200!"

"This is a feat! Some viewers may not know what a KDA of 200 means. You should know that until now, no official League of Legends player has ever broken the 100 mark in their professional career KDA, but Chu Shen has already reached 200. This is not only unprecedented, this is a god descending!"

Guan Zeyuan waved his hands excitedly, shouting with a flushed face.

Indeed, as mentioned, no player has reached Chu Ran's KDA level yet. Keep in mind that it will be several years later, when Chovy, known as the "Right Hand," will become the first player in League of Legends to break 100 KDA due to his playstyle.

Unfortunately, these honors now belong to Chu Ran.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene became incredibly intense once again. The entire stadium was trembling with the sound waves of the audience's shouts, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room kept rolling!
Countless viewers were stunned by Chu Ran's professional career statistics. They had never seen such a terrifying player before. At the same time, they felt fortunate that such a player came from their LPL.

If this were given to the LCK, the LPL might as well disband on the spot.

【66666, God Chu!】

There's only one god in League of Legends! That's Chu Shen! Faker? That's all ancient history!

[So, what's Faker's KDA?]

[Don't shout, give Chu Shen time. He can still win three, four, or even five championships. Here's a little-known fact: Chu Shen has never missed a championship since his debut in the LPL.]

[As everyone knows, this isn't some obscure fact.]

[Maya, Chu Shen dealt almost ten times the damage of Da Fei! Chu Shen is equivalent to ten Fakers! From now on, the title of the world's best mid laner belongs to Chu Shen!]

[Faker: I've become a unit of measurement.]

[I'm staying in Bengbu. I just saw some comments from the LCK. They said that since Faker and his friends love eating sharks so much, they should just jump into the sea and swim back. If they team up, they might be able to catch a shark alive and eat it.]

[Haha, several Korean commentators have broken down; it feels like they're going to lose their jobs because of this SKT match.]

[That makes perfect sense! I think we should tag the guy with the flowerpots behind him!]

The barrage of comments kept scrolling, making many LPL fans laugh hysterically. Many Korean fans and trolls could only huddle together in dark corners for warmth, muttering under their breath with mouths that even Thanos couldn't break.

The comments were nothing more than things like, "My keyboard is too old, my chair is too high, and I don't feel good today," "Faker's teammates were terrible; the Asian Games will be the real test," and "Essentially, this is just a BO1, which doesn't prove anything. If it were a BO5, SKT might have won."

However, they were quickly met with a barrage of insults from other ecstatic LPL viewers, who slapped them in the face with the statement, "SKT has beaten Chu Shen in BO1 or BO5," infuriating the haters who were jumping up and down in anger.

Some hot-tempered individuals even smashed their phone and computer screens on the spot.

Meanwhile, in a live stream, a man was yelling at the top of his lungs: "Damn it! My little cannon back then was a control cancel! Control cancel! What do the viewers know!"

"What do you mean I'm the same as Black? We're not the same, okay? I was trying to control and offset the situation, while he panicked and charged his own shark into his teammate's face. The most fundamental difference is that I can still work after I've eaten four fish, but Black's future is uncertain."

As Crystal said this, the viewers in his live stream couldn't help but burst out laughing.

On the other side, in the competition area.

Chu Ran was pushing Imp away forcefully, saying helplessly, "No, pfft, if you like men, go to Chengdu, okay? Let go of me, don't hug me, there are so many people watching."

"God Chu, I was just too excited." Imp released Chu Ran and said with a flushed face, "We're champions again! Spring Split champions, MSI champions, Rift Rivals champions! All we need is the Summer Split champions and the World Championship champions to complete the grand slam!"

"So many people are cheering for us, and seeing that will only make them happy for us."

"No, pfft, you misunderstood. I'm afraid my female fans will see this and misunderstand that I'm gay, which will delay my finding a partner. I'm also afraid my male fans will see this and then a lot of effeminate men will come knocking on my door."

"."

"Damn it!" Imp went from excitement to rage in an instant, which made Meiko and the others laugh.

Saint Gun clicked his tongue, looking somewhat dazed. "I never imagined that we could defeat SKT. It's like a dream."

His thoughts drifted far away. The past six months had felt like a dream. He had played for so long before but never won a championship. But after joining EDG in the past six months, they had won every championship they could this year.

Thinking of this, Saint Gun glanced at Chu Ran, a surge of strong emotions welling up inside him, and said to Chu Ran, "God Chu, thank you!"

"No need to thank me, this is the result of the joint efforts of the five of us."

"Indeed!" Spicy Hot Pot nodded in agreement with a smile, "It's so annoying that the world's number one ADC got another championship."

"Haha, Mr. Guo, nobody acknowledges that you are the world's number one ADC and that you won the Intercontinental Cup. As netizens would say, even a dog could win the championship."

After Meiko finished speaking, Chu Ran suddenly clicked his tongue and said, "It was a dog to begin with."

"Hahaha, Holy Lord Chu, let's go shake hands!"

Amidst the laughter of Chu Ran and his group, they walked towards the SKT booth. Upon closer inspection, they found Faker still slumped over the table, sobbing uncontrollably. The expressions of the others were even more complex.

As a rookie top laner, Thal was completely dumbfounded. He was thinking of showing his prowess in SKT, but after this game, he was completely numb. Didn't he say he had several championship teammates?
How come my championship teammates are not as good as me in this game?
Thal is really something else!
He had played many League of Legends games and many bots, but being treated like a bot was a first for him. Looking at his appalling record, Thal suffered indelible damage to his spirit.

Chu Ran and the others had no idea that their match had made a newcomer question his very existence.

Wolf and Bang slumped in their chairs, their eyes red and swollen, wanting to say something but unsure of what to say.

Perhaps, for both of them, leaving SKT early was the best outcome.

As for Black, he was completely out of it, holding his head in his hands, regretting his stupidity and feeling extremely guilty, which caused Faker to shed tears again.

At that moment, Kkkoma was patting Faker's back repeatedly, comforting him, "Sang-hyeok, it's okay. We'll win next time if we lose this time. We'll definitely win next time."

Faker raised his head, revealing teary eyes, and stared intently at Kkoma.

Thinking back to the last time, Kkoma said the same thing, but they still didn't win. Looking at Chu Ran and the others walking towards him, Faker felt a sense of 'Why did fate create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?'

Why did Faker have to be replaced by Chu Ran?

I lost again this time, and I don't know if there will be a next time.

Looking at his trembling hands, Faker's expression revealed a subtle sadness. In his current state, he might never have the chance to face Chu Ran again.

He may really be getting old.

A moment later, when Chu Ran walked up to him, Faker quickly wiped his eyes, not wanting Chu Ran to see his disheveled state again.

After shaking hands with Chu Ran, Faker took the initiative to say, "I hope I will have the opportunity to play against you again in the future. I will definitely not lose next time."

"Okay, let's talk about it in a few years. You won't have the chance in the next few years, and of course, you might not have the chance in the future either."

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, Faker's face flushed slightly, clearly angered by Chu Ran. More importantly, Faker looked puzzled.

Why did Chu Ran say "a few years later"?

However, this is no longer a problem for Faker to consider.

After shaking hands, Chu Ran and the others walked to the center of the stage, bowed to the audience in front of them, and then colorful confetti sprayed out from around the stage, and golden rain fell on the center of the stage once again.

Countless esports media reporters pressed the shutter button repeatedly with their cameras. Amidst the continuous cheers, spotlights shone on several spirited young men in white, and flashes were constantly going off.

Some esports journalists are completely exasperated.

They felt this scene was familiar because they always saw Chu Ran's figure whenever they took photos of the champion.

Under the spotlight, other LPL players took to the stage one after another, and the trophy symbolizing the Intercontinental Championship stood before them.

"So this is the Intercontinental Cup championship trophy? It doesn't look that great." Imp clicked his tongue and couldn't help but say, "I think the World Championship trophy is much better looking."

"Haha, pfft, you're really picking a fight. Let me ask you, have you ever won an Intercontinental Championship before today? Deft has."

Upon hearing Meiko's words, Imp immediately flew into a rage, letting out a tiger-like roar, "Depote? I just didn't run into him at this Intercontinental Tournament, otherwise I would have beaten the shit out of him, he's nothing but a roadside wreck!"

"Depo has a Grand Slam."

"Damn it!" Imp roared in a frenzy, "I'll have one too!! Damn Depth!"

Seeing Imp's expression, everyone burst into laughter. Then Mingkai slowly said, "Who will lift the trophy first? I think Xiaoran and Tianye, you two have touched the trophy so much that you don't even want it anymore, so don't steal the limelight. Let some of you who finally won the championship touch it first."

"I don't care." Chu Ran shrugged, glancing at Uzi as he spoke. Uzi was completely mesmerized by the championship trophy. Mouse, Smlz, and the others immediately walked up to the trophy and lifted it up with gusto, as the sound of camera shutters and cheers echoed throughout the hall once again.

"Lift the trophy, LPL! Hold up the championship trophy that you brought with your own hands!"

"Sima Laozei lightly kissed the trophy. For Laozei, this championship was hard-won, and his performance today surprised us even more. Let's give a round of applause to Sima Laozei!"

A short while later, when it was Uzi's turn, before he could even lift the cup, Chu Ran had already walked up, which immediately stunned Uzi.

At the same time, Chu Ran said with a smile, "This trophy is quite clean."

In an instant, everyone on the stage looked at each other in bewilderment. They immediately understood the deeper meaning of Chu Ran's words. Then they all glanced at Uzi and found that the little fat boy's face had turned into a monkey's butt in an instant, his eyes burning with raging fire, as if he wanted to devour Chu Ran alive.

Uzi clenched his fists, and he naturally understood what Chu Ran meant.

The championship trophy must be free of stains.

But you beast!!!

At this moment, Uzi was shouting in his heart. After Chu Ran lifted the trophy, he handed it to Ming Kai. As the biggest contributor to this Intercontinental Cup, the trophy would still be kept by EDG. Uzi really didn't get to touch it.

This scene was noticed by many viewers who were watching intently, and the live stream chat exploded with comments in no time.

GSL was so enraged that he started cursing Chu Ran's family tree, and everyone was completely on edge!

【NMSL! You beast!!】

[You son of a bitch, what do you mean by this?! Why won't you let the puppy touch the trophy?! People like you deserve to go to the deepest levels of hell!]

Honestly, I'm not a fan of anyone in particular, but seeing Chu Ran treat someone who helped LPL win the Intercontinental Cup like this is absolutely heartbreaking. Is this the kind of quality LPL professional players have?!

Seeing this, as a fan of Chu Shen, my world collapsed. I never thought Chu Shen was this kind of person. He wouldn't even let Xiao Gou touch the trophy. What deep-seated hatred could drive him to do this? Does Chu Shen really want to force Xiao Gou into retirement?!

[This guy is really going to destroy the LPL and Chinese esports. Why isn't he dead yet?!]

[Haha, GSL really cracked me up! What contribution did RNG make to this Intercontinental Cup? Does providing entertainment for netizens count as a contribution?]

[This is ridiculous! It's already a miracle the dog even got a glimpse of the trophy, let alone want to touch it! Don't smudge this pristine trophy.]

Why is the championship trophy the cleanest thing? Because it's never stained!

[Chu Shen: I quickly stopped Uzi before he could touch the trophy, because I was afraid he would steal it.]

[Hahaha, genius!]

If "Bathing Dog" (a nickname for a male celebrity) can retire, that would be his greatest contribution to the LPL and Chinese esports!

Upon seeing these words, GSL revealed its true nature once again. They were more restrained when facing LCK teams, but now they're starting to disqualify netizens from their nationality and making harsh statements.

[You disgusting bastards, don't be begging for mercy from little dog C later!]

[Given the current LPL environment, I really don't think Uzi needs to participate in the Asian Games this year. Whether he goes or not is irrelevant.]

[A bunch of haters of Sima Yi, when Uzi wins the championship, I won't let any of you get away with it. I've written them all down in my little notebook! After this year's World Championship, you'll all have to kneel down and apologize to Uzi!]

[This is hilarious! This is the funniest joke I've ever heard: Uzi winning the championship.]

GSL made me laugh like Louis XVI, I laughed so hard my head almost fell off.

The incident sparked heated discussions in the official live broadcast rooms of major domestic events. Many GSL players were so angry that they reported Chu Ran, even editing his behavior to appear as unethical, and then reported him to the official sports department, hoping to disqualify Chu Ran from the Asian Games.

Of course, what they didn't know was that, compared to Chu Ran's Asian Games qualification, the officials were currently considering the selection of the Asian Games AD.

Chu Ran is definitely going to be the mid laner for the Asian Games. Based on his performance today where he crushed Faker, he might crush Faker again at the Asian Games.

"Who should we pick for AD? If we pick Uzi, I'm afraid we'll embarrass ourselves at the Asian Games. Even though it's just a demonstration match, we can't afford to lose to that tiny country next door."

"As we all know, Uzi and Easy have a major conflict. If Easy is confirmed to participate, then we need to seriously consider whether Uzi is still suitable for the AD position. After all, according to our research, League of Legends is essentially a mid-jungle game. If the mid laner and jungler are strong, then the AD carry doesn't need to be too strong."

"Let's all think about it. After all, apart from Uzi, it seems like there aren't any other AD carries that are any good."

Uzi was unaware of the official discussions; he was still hoping to get the trophy back from Chu Ran and take a solo photo of himself. But just as he was about to reach out...

The trophy-lifting ceremony has ended, and the host, Aunt Yu Shuang, dressed in a black evening gown that showed off her long legs, has taken to the stage to congratulate LPL.

"Congratulations to LPL for winning the 2018 Asian Intercontinental Championship! You've won the championship for the second consecutive year. Thank you to everyone who worked hard on stage. Now, please welcome the official organizers to present the championship medals to all the participating players!"

Fuck your mother!
Uzi's eyes narrowed. At this moment, he wished he could build his own three core items and unleash a devastating attack on Yu Shuang.

A few seconds later, the event officials presented them with the Intercontinental Championship medals, and everyone was all smiles.

Only Uzi stood at the back of the crowd, biting his hand, staring intently at Chu Ran's back in the front row with his small eyes.

If looks could kill, Chu Ran would have died countless times by now.

After the medals were awarded, the interview session began quickly, with Yu Shuang interviewing the other participants.

Abu: "Once again serving as the head coach of the LPL, and once again winning the Intercontinental Cup, this is all thanks to the efforts of every one of our players!"

Mingkai: "Actually, the feeling of winning a championship as a coach is even better than being a player. I am also grateful for the contributions of every player."

TheShy: "I'm really looking forward to facing Semb again next time."

Imp: "I think Bang is a great AD carry. Deft? Deft is great too, but he's still a little bit inferior to me."

Soon, amidst countless cheers, each interview prompted many viewers and fans to roar and shout with abandon.

Amidst the intense attention, Yu Shuang finally arrived beside Chu Ran, drawing the attention of many viewers back to the nineteen-year-old young man. His dashing appearance continuously stimulated the visual senses of female fans both at the scene and in the live broadcast room.

Of course, there are also male fans.

Being handsome attracts female fans, being good at games attracts male fans, and having both attracts young men and women. This is an important reason why Chu Ran has been able to firmly occupy the top spot in LPL popularity.

Looking at Chu Ran on the stage, Yu Shuang felt that she would have fallen in love with this boy even if it weren't for Guan Zeyuan. She pursed her lips, smiled, picked up the microphone, and slowly said, "Hello, God Chu, we meet again on the champion's podium. First of all, congratulations to God Chu on winning the Intercontinental Championship again. So, how are you feeling at this moment? Is your feeling different from when you first won the Intercontinental Championship?"

Hearing this question, Chu Ran pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and shook his head. "There's not much difference, it's all a massacre anyway. LCK doesn't have a single player who can compete. Last year I told them to get stronger before coming back, but I didn't expect them to have even regressed compared to last year. If I were LCK, I would simply not participate in this Intercontinental Cup, at least I could save some face."

When Chu Ran finished speaking, everyone on the stage widened their eyes, and Meiko and the others all gave Chu Ran a thumbs up.

Although they also felt that this year's LCK was several levels weaker than in previous years, Chu Ran was the only one who dared to say this in front of all the viewers.

In an instant, Yu Shuang covered her red lips in surprise. The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room gasped, and then cheered for Chu Ran again. The sound waves in the hall continued to gather and rush towards Chu Ran!

[6666! I knew it! When it comes to trash talk, you have to look to God Chu!]

[Stop spouting nonsense, you sanctimonious hypocrites! If you don't flatter me when I win, are you going to wait until I lose to flatter me?]

[Hilarious! It's like they're saying if LPL loses, LCK won't humiliate LPL. Isn't that what everyone's thinking?]

[LCK, the number one region? NO! A terrible region!]

"Damn it! What is he pretending for here!"

Backstage at LCK, Mata was the first to voice their anger: "I will ruin his reputation at the Asian Games!"

"I don't know what this guy can fit in there. I was wondering why we haven't seen any trash in South Korea lately. Turns out this guy has been taking it all. What brand of trash bags does he use?!"

Khan's roar represented the sentiments of many South Korean fans. Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, they immediately sent their warm greetings to Chu Ran's family tree in the live broadcast room.

On stage, Yu Shuang calmed herself down and forced a smile. "It's clear that Chu Shen is very confident and had anticipated winning the LPL Intercontinental Championship. So, Chu Shen, you were planning to come to the game from the commentary booth in the fifth game."

"You know, you went from being a commentator to a player, which surprised us quite a bit. Many viewers left comments saying that the commentators were warming up. We saw your performance in the fifth game, and it was exactly what the viewers expected. Do you have anything to say about that?"

Chu Ran pondered for a few seconds, then cheerfully said, "I don't have that plan. Actually, I really intend to just be a commentator. After all, I think our LPL has many world number ones, such as the world's number one ADC, the world's number one top laner, the world's number one mid laner, and all kinds of world number ones. We can win the championship without me even lifting a finger."

"However, I didn't expect that the world's number one, who was highly anticipated by many netizens, would lose so badly. So for the sake of LPL, I will naturally give it my all!"

"As for your statement that the commentators are warming up, I disagree with that, because the last game was the real warm-up!"

hiss--!
After Chu Ran finished speaking, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room all widened their eyes.

Take a look.

Is this human language?
At the same time, on the stage, Uzi, Ning, and others clenched their fists, their nails digging into their flesh. Chu Ran's family tree was once again insulted, and the entire LPL was in an uproar because of Chu Ran's words.

[Hahaha, you've got some nerve! God Chu, what are you implying?!]

[Uzi: Chu Shen, you might as well just give me your ID card.]

[I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe! The last game was just a real warm-up. When it comes to showing off, I only admire Chu Shen!]

[This is truly a case of Cao Pi's father-in-law collecting trash—and Zhen Ji's father pretending to be her father!]

[Faker: I'm so sorry I didn't give Lord Chu enough fun!]

[More useless proverbs have been added!]

[No, Jian Zihao, did you see Aunt Yu Shuang humming? Her face was so red!]

[He's fantasizing about building Uzi's three core items and doing something immoral to Aunt Huang Yueguang; it's definitely not because he's become popular.]

Amidst the uproar and heated discussion, Yu Shuang asked one last question.

"Okay, so, Chu Shen, do you have any goals for the future? Are you planning to win your second Grand Slam this year?"

Upon hearing this question, countless viewers pricked up their ears, eagerly awaiting Chu Ran's answer. The thought of two Grand Slam titles filled them with excitement.

If Chu Ran really does win two Grand Slams, then in a sense, Chu Ran has completely surpassed Faker.

But the next second, Chu Ran shook his head. Seeing this, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and the worst guess came to mind.

But then, Chu Ran's resounding words echoed in the sky above the clubhouse.

"Two Grand Slam titles are not my goal. My goal is to win every title I can in my career! We are champions, we are still champions, we will always be champions!"

"With me, Chu Ran, here, we will always be champions!"

Chu Ran raised his arms and shouted, and the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room felt a surge of heat in their bodies, which then gathered in their throats and erupted like a volcano. The sound waves of the roaring waves hit again, directly causing the live broadcast room to lag completely!
【Chu Shen - Awesome!!】

I will always be Chu Shen and Asuna's dog!

[I love Chu Shen more than I love my own ox!]

[Without Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Chu, the alliance's victory is meaningless!]

[Damn it! Go to hell! We, the LCK, will drag him down from his pedestal!]

[Faker will get his revenge at the World Championship; those who climb the mountain dare to mock the gods descending!]

[Someone once called upon the name of God, and Faker stepped forward, saying that no one had called him that in a long time, and that he would always believe in Lee Sang-hyeok, that beast would pay the price for his arrogance!]

After the interviews ended, both competition zones were in an uproar.

Countless South Koreans wish they could change Chu Ran's nationality, and some have already resorted to their Republic of Korea's traditional skill—theft!
However, this time it wasn't about stealing a festival or anything else, but about stealing a person. They directly said that Chu Ran was a person from their Republic of Korea, which is commonly known as stealing a person.

Uzi was furious. Seeing Chu Ran stealing the spotlight made him jealous. He went backstage without saying a word, packed his things and went straight home, even refusing Jackyelove's invitation to dinner.

Ning Mazi and Doinb also refused, as they didn't want to eat at the same table as Chu Ran.

Chu Ran originally wanted to refuse, but Jackeylove said he was treating, so she couldn't refuse.

"You're a country bumpkin, how the hell can you not go? Don't you understand? If you go, and show the restaurant owner your previous Weibo posts, the restaurant owner will have to give us extra food!"

"It's not just about serving more dishes, it's about stuffing the fields to death, hahaha."

"Brother Ran, I love your horse!"
