LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 238 A stampede of dogs! Chu Ran, whose sins are immeasurable, owes LCK an Asian Games gold medal!

In an instant, the entire LPL was abuzz with the news of the official Asian Games roster and Chu Ran's admission to Fudan University, with discussions from all sides sweeping across the country like a tidal wave.

Many GSL players were furious.

Even compared to when Uzi was relentlessly attacked by Chu Ran, he wasn't this furious.

They immediately went to the official Weibo comment section and launched a bold attack, with almost all GSLs joining in.

[6666! Is this the level of competence of the relevant departments? Not picking Uzi for ADC? Are you even Chinese?! Are you walking 50 yuan?]

[Guys, let's flood the official account with votes until they change the Asian Games roster!]

[Protest! Why?! Uzi has made so many contributions to the LPL, why is Sima Laozei the AD carry who plays? Who does he think he is?!]

[The LPL is truly rotten to the core, rife with shady dealings. They even stripped Uzi of his qualification for the Asian Games. From today onwards, I am quitting the LPL!]

[It must have been Ran Chu who did it; he must have said bad things about Dog Master during training!]

[Yes, the more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems. That e-sports Monopoly challenge was deliberately set up by Ran Chu, making Dog Ye lose both his game and his money. In the end, he specifically arranged for Dead Horse Old Thief to use that as an excuse to report to the relevant departments and disqualify Dog Ye from the competition.]

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

GSL went completely mad, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't care about any evidence at all.

They only believe in themselves.

RW Esports Club's account was flooded with complaints overnight, forcing them to close the comment section.

Sima the Old Thief was completely dumbfounded.

When the official Asian Games roster was released, he was still playing ranked games.

After the training camp, he had little hope of participating in the Asian Games.

After all, he is indeed somewhat inferior to Uzi in terms of skill.

In addition, his fan base and marketing were inferior, so Sima Laozei had actually given up the idea of ​​participating in the Asian Games.

But he never expected it.

Good fortune comes to you even when you're just sitting at home.

"Holy crap! You old thief! You got selected! They didn't even send Uzi, my god! Could it be that the relevant departments have sharp eyes and discovered that the world's number one ADC is Shockwave?"

Mouse and the others were shocked when they learned of this news.

At the time, they all agreed that Sima Laozei had no hope of competing with Uzi for the AD position.

But unexpectedly, a major upset occurred.

Just like in this year's World Cup group stage, many strong teams played terribly.

Although France ultimately won the championship, many teams went bankrupt during the group stage.

However, some people did get rich.

On the very day the World Cup ended, news broke in Europe that someone had bet on an entire series of matches from the group stage to the final, all of which were identical, and ultimately won a prize of over 10 billion euros when France won the championship.

Many netizens speculated that it was Principal Wang, but Principal Wang posted a Weibo post to clarify and remarked, "Some people are destined to be rich, just like they are destined to be champions."

In an instant, netizens began to speculate. This topic had been trending for the past few days and only disappeared today when the Asian Games roster was announced.

Not only were Morse and others taken aback, but RW Club was also both surprised and delighted.

Unexpectedly, immense wealth descended upon their club.

"You old rascal! You did a fantastic job, you deserve a bonus! If you can win the Asian Games gold medal this time, the bonus will be doubled!"

Only after hearing his manager's words did the old thief snap out of his daze.

He had no idea why he was suddenly selected.

The scene of their training camp a while ago came to mind.

The shouting match between Chu Ran and Uzi is still fresh in my mind.

"Is the dog barking?"

"You're paralyzed!"

"You think the Asian Games are all about your RNG team and that you can carry, right? AD is basically the fourth or fifth in rank. Just focus on farming and wait to reap the rewards later. I don't know why you insist on pursuing lane dominance."

"And your online pressure isn't strong either. A while ago you lost 7 people in a row in a solo match and were in debt for over 100,000. Have you forgotten about it so quickly? There was also someone who dared to pressure you without vision. He ganked you at level 2 and got the kill. You really can't change your ways."

Chu Ran's few words enraged Uzi, and that day was the closest Sima Laozei ever felt to the sun.

During the final training camp, although Uzi's skill level was still decent, Chu Ran was not like Xiao Hu Xi Ye.

Uzi committed a crime, and Xiaohu and Xiye didn't dare to say anything, but Churan directly made Uzi's blood pressure drop.

The team's leader, a bully in the esports scene, has been hanging around Zaun (a notorious online community) for two or three years. His parents are still alive, so I'm not kidding.

The atmosphere during the entire training camp was basically, "Welcome to Zaun!"

"Save Flash for the next game?"

"Would it kill you, ADC, to stand in the back? Did you see a fresh lump of something and awaken your dormant genes?"

"You're such a dog! You even steal some minions when you pass by my mid lane. Why don't you just steal some money when you pass by the bank?"

In addition, Ning Mazi was also thoroughly criticized by Chu Ran.

"What? Are you a centipede? You wear so many trendy shoes just so you can farm steps in the jungle?"

"Why did you choose this profession? You are clearly more suited to be a doctor. Saving lives is your specialty. You would definitely shine as a doctor. The Chinese medical community has lost a talent."

"Let's break up. I don't think you'll ever win a championship in your life, so this marriage is definitely not going to happen."

Ning Mazi couldn't stand this humiliation and immediately showed the true nature of a Northeasterner, but he was quickly sent back to the club.

With this, Mala Xiangguo has secured a stable position in the Asian Games.

And when he took the stage, he became Chu Ran's parrot, repeating Chu Ran's words whenever Chu Ran angrily berated Uzi.

During the training camp, many staff members lamented the greenhouse effect and how global warming is becoming increasingly serious.

Uzi tends to stay silent when he's in a red buff position, which led to Chu Ran saying something that Sima Laozei will never forget.

"Can you fight or not? If you can't, then get lost. If you don't fight, plenty of others will."

"Shut up! Are you deaf? Turn on your mic!"

This sentence completely ignited Uzi's anger. Before a certain training camp, everyone was waiting for him, but he went out to play with Aomimi instead.

Sima Laozei and Jackeylove initially thought this was harmless, but they didn't realize that the official team had already had extensive discussions about whether to choose Uzi as the AD carry.

After this incident, the number of people supporting Uzi dropped rapidly, and eventually, a professional provided an insightful analysis.

"League of Legends is a mid-jungle game. The AD carry is just an egg in a basket. If a team's mid and jungle are strong, then as long as the AD carry doesn't fail and can deal damage in team fights, the game is likely to be won."

This is true.

After careful consideration, Chu Ran's mid-lane strategy was deemed to be ahead of the competition, potentially even capable of dominating Faker.

Since Chu Ran is destined to enter the Asian Games, AD doesn't need to choose a very strong one.

Then it would be better to choose someone who has no conflict with Chu Ran and who can stably control their own emotions.

Moreover, Sima Laozei has been known for his excellent team fight output during his many years in the LPL.

On the contrary, his online ability is relatively weak. Although Sima Laozei has systematically trained his online ability since winning the All-Star championship last year, he is still behind other AD carries.

Thinking of this, Sima Laozei also became excited, "We have to thank God Chu for this."

"Maya! Why should we thank him? You really think he's omnipotent. I can't stand hearing you talk like that."

Doinb started making sarcastic remarks from the side, even though he had long been mentally prepared for Chu Ran to participate in the Asian Games.

But when it was officially announced, I was still extremely unhappy.

The main problem is that Sima Laozei praises Chu Ran more than he praises himself. Who is his teammate after all?
Doinb cursed inwardly with extreme jealousy, thinking that Chu Ran was the only one who hadn't fought him, otherwise he would have beaten the crap out of him.

"Don't thank him. If he said or did something that caused you to replace Uz, he wouldn't be helping you, he would be harming you."

"You can check your Weibo first. Actually, the LCK roster is quite strong this year, and Faker's performance hasn't declined much. SKT's poor results this year are mainly due to their management and other teammates' incompetence."

"This LCK roster for the Asian Games might not perform as well as they did at the Rift Rivals. What if, what if, I mean, they don't win gold at the Asian Games? What will you do then?"

"Maya!" Doinb clasped his hands together, a bright smile on his face. "That's going to be quite a show!"

Farting from a coffin—that's weird and sarcastic.

Morse internally complained.

But in fact, Doinb was right. When Sima Laozei opened Weibo, the private message notifications came out almost non-stop.

[Sima the Old Thief? You motherfucker!]

If you have any self-awareness, you should voluntarily give up participating in the Asian Games!

[Do you think you're qualified to replace Doggyan at the Asian Games?]

[What kind of trash is this? Almost zero achievements, and they dare to squeeze out the puppy to participate in the Asian Games?]

[This is hilarious! What a terrible AD carry! The organizers must be blind to let such an AD carry participate in the Asian Games. LPL is doomed, Chinese esports is doomed.]

[However, the death of one entire family prevented Doggo from participating in the Asian Games, yet this piece of trash was allowed to participate. His entire career consisted of only one All-Star appearance and one continental championship. To put it bluntly, his participation in the Asian Games was like being a nobody on the street, the kind Deft would repay.]

[Who else in the world, besides Uzi, can consistently outperform Deft this year?]

Upon seeing these comments, Sima Laozei couldn't help but grip his phone tightly, and immediately sent Chu Ran a message of thanks.

The next second, he received Chu Ran's reply.

It was nothing other than an invitation to Chu Ran's college entrance celebration banquet.

"Holy crap! Is Chu Shen going to hold a graduation banquet at his own manor?"

Mouse exclaimed in surprise, and then the support and jungler also received the message, while Doinb looked completely bewildered.

His face immediately turned extremely gloomy.

Whether you go or not is uncertain, but it's embarrassing for anyone who doesn't receive it.

Male Gobi!

Doinb was furious. He cursed Chu Ran's ancestors for eighteen generations and finally gritted his teeth and said viciously, "At this time, instead of thinking about how to deal with online public opinion, this bastard is holding a graduation banquet. He's really optimistic, tsk tsk tsk."

...

"Of course I'm laughing, am I supposed to cry?"

At this very moment, inside the EDG club's base, Chu Ran was lying on the Aofeng gaming chair, his hands behind his head, his legs crossed, replying to Ming Kai with a relaxed and carefree expression.

"Everyone's working overtime tonight! We have to suppress GSL and then promote the news that almost the entire EDG team has qualified for the Asian Games."

Abu almost roared out in anger.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight.

EDG became the biggest winner at this Asian Games, which displeased many LPL fans, who went on a rampage attacking the club's related accounts.

It was only because Chu Ran drew the fire that the attack was mitigated; otherwise, the impact would have been even more severe.

Chu Ran's latest Weibo post already has nearly 100,000 comments, which made Meiko click her tongue in amazement.

“These GSLs have completely gone mad, Ran. They’re all saying it’s because of you that Uzi couldn’t go to the Asian Games.”

"You're right. It's better if he doesn't go, so he won't tarnish my Asian Games gold medal."

"Hahaha."

Mala Xiangguo burst out laughing. Seeing GSL's furious reaction under Chu Ran's Weibo post, he was genuinely overjoyed.

[You beast! You wait, I'll kill you sooner or later!]

[How dare someone like you represent the country at the Asian Games! You're talented but lack virtue!]

[The puppy just left the game running to take a shower once, why are you so angry? You beast, your heart is smaller than your ox's!]

Does anyone know where Ran is right now? I'm a truck driver, and I'm hoping Ran will have a stroke of luck!

[I'm reporting this to Fudan University! This kind of person doesn't deserve to study at Fudan! I'm not done with Fudan until they revoke his admission!]

[And as for the official channels, if the puppies can't participate in the Asian Games, I think there's no need for them to exist.]

GSL's barrage of criticism surged forth, demonstrating to the fullest extent what it means to be desperate.

However, their remarks successfully amused most LPL players.

[You've given these haters all that sugar, haven't you guys been drinking too much rock sugar pear soup?]

[Try tasting your own urine occasionally to check if you have diabetes.]

Great! Uzi can't participate in the Asian Games! Why is the Asian Games gold medal the cleanest thing?!

Because he has no stains!

[Never before has there been such a wonderful start! Cheers to LPL!]

Seeing these comments, GSL was even more furious, and a major battle was brewing on various forums.

At the same time, inside the RNG eSports Club, the manager, San Shao, smashed everything he could.

He originally thought that RNG would at least have Uzi participate in the Asian Games.

As a result, the Asian Games roster was released today.

The sky is falling.

Uzi, on whom he had placed high hopes, was surprisingly not included in the official Asian Games roster.

In the training room.

Xiaohu and the others didn't even have time to feel sad about not participating in the Asian Games. They huddled together, trembling slightly as they looked at the furious Uzi in front of them.

"Fuck you! You idiot official! You little bastard! I actually doubled my reward!"

"Do these idiots even know anything about games?! Without me, that useless old scoundrel Sima, could he even hold his own against Deft and Mata?"

boom!
Uzi slammed his fist on the table, his face contorted in pain, looking like a squeezed tomato in the heat.

"The LPL is completely rotten; even the official LPL organizers have to lick the boots of these bastards!"

"If it weren't for the huge contributions made by veterans like me to the LPL back in the day, would Chinese esports be where it is today?!"

Uzi roared hysterically, he really wanted to question the official why he had been banned.

Isn't it just that he lost seven people in a row in a solo match, and then he got into a fight with Ran Chu?

Then why not just brush it off?
Uzi was so angry that he was trembling all over, his fat jiggling as he stared intently at the comments section of his Weibo post.

[Stop talking! Uzbekistan, why aren't you saying anything? Weren't you supposed to be leading China to an Asian Games gold medal?]

I've already researched my opponents for the Asian Games, and after that, I've decided not to go.

Haha, I can already picture what Uzbekistan looks like.

[This time, I guess I'll need to soak in the Pacific Ocean to cool down.]

Uzbekistan, do you know you're guilty? You've contributed to global warming.

Not every AD carry is named Uzi, and not every AD carry can participate in the Asian Games.

[I feel so good! I jumped for joy when I heard that Uzbekistan couldn't participate in the Asian Games.]

[I'm Chu Shen, and I'm not being paired with Uzi again, plus I got an acceptance letter from Fudan University. I need to play ten games to celebrate!]

"You beast—!"

Uzi flung countless phones away; his bloodlust was running high this generation, and he really wanted to stab Chu Ran to death.

He felt that if it weren't for Chu Ran, he definitely wouldn't have had his spot taken by that old scoundrel Sima.

Even the RNG club is the same.

The agreement was to divide the pork, so RNG should get a piece of it.

How come I didn't even get a single penny of profit?

This time, even the manager, the Third Young Master, broke down and posted a message on Weibo.

If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place!

It's obvious who he's implying, and besides, IG's Su Xiaoluo immediately followed up with his output.

What gives that old scoundrel Sima the right to do this?

In what way is Jackeylove inferior to Sima Laozei? They have similar honors.

In a sense, Sima Laozei has been playing for so many years without any results, and is not as good as Jackeylove, a newcomer.

At least in terms of potential, they are not as good.

Perhaps Jackeylove can make history.

In fact, Jackeylove did make history.

A Grand Slam defeat, or a double Grand Slam defeat.

Unprecedented, and its encouragement will be unparalleled in the future.

Soon, Su Xiaoluo's Weibo updates were also displayed to everyone.

If the person who carries the weight of most of the traffic for LPL and Chinese esports doesn't have a broad mind, then he doesn't deserve such a large following.

Cultivating oneself, regulating one's family, governing the state, and bringing peace to the world—if a person lacks even basic moral principles, I think it will be difficult for them to gain the approval of others.

His Weibo post quickly shook the already noisy forum once again.

【Agree! 】

[I second that! Anyone who uses their influence to indirectly or directly affect the Asian Games roster should be disqualified.]

[I'm shivering with cold. The thought of the LPL being ruled by talented but immoral people like Ran makes my hands and feet go cold, even in this 38-degree weather. Hell is empty, and all the devils are here on earth. The LPL and Chinese esports are truly finished this time.]

Almost in the blink of an eye, the trending topics list was refreshed, leaving many celebrities who bought their way into the top spots speechless.

#Asian Games roster announced, EDG emerges as the biggest winner!#
#Chu Shen is talented but lacks integrity; his underhanded tactics caused Uzi, Ning, and others to miss the Asian Games!#
#Easy bluntly stated that if Uzi and others participate in the Asian Games, he won't!#
#Shocking! The number one player in the LPL has actually done something so outrageous!#
#Breaking news: During the Asian Games training camp, Easy frequently bullied other athletes!#
#LPL is finished. They're basically out of the running for the Asian Games championship. Chinese esports will be nipped in the bud. The culprit is Easy!#
#Fudan University Under Attack: Fudan Students Sign Petition to Resist Chu Ran's Entry into the University!#
"Damn, Chu Shen, these clubs really hate you this time."

Seeing these trending topics, Flandre clicked his tongue, and the anti-fan forums and Hupu were already engulfed in heated discussions.

How would you evaluate our country's Asian Games lineup?

What are the chances of this lineup winning gold?

Did Chu Shen really threaten the officials, causing Uzi and others to miss the Asian Games?

"Heartbreaking! I've always been a fan of Chu Shen, but what he did has truly broken the hearts of fans. Why didn't he let Uzi participate in the Asian Games? This would have increased our chances of winning gold! I'm a fan now!"

"That goes without saying. They're just using this as an opportunity to create hype. Clubs that have absolutely no connection to them are jumping on the bandwagon. If Uzbekistan were really suitable, wouldn't the officials have chosen them? Do they think everyone else is an idiot?"

Mingkai's words were full of contempt, which prompted Imp to echo: "They're just bad. What do you mean that only Uzi can beat Deft this year's ADCs? Am I not human? These damn GSLs!"

Everyone looked at Chu Ran and found that she had fallen asleep on the sofa.

This left everyone speechless.

Despite the huge uproar outside, Chu Ran, the person directly involved, acted as if nothing had happened. However, EDG's operations team was completely overwhelmed and almost couldn't handle it; some of the female players were even brought to tears by the criticism.

Besides them, the publicity staff at Fudan University also had a mental breakdown.

They were just sitting at home when trouble came knocking on their door.

Chu Ran was admitted to their school based on her own merit, so why are so many people suddenly warning them?

In this era, the long-standing practice of bombing forums has resurfaced.

If the "Anti-Pressure and Blame-Taking Bar" (a forum for students who take the blame for others) can't be destroyed, then why can't the Fudan University forum be destroyed?
At first glance, the homepage is full of words like "dismissal of the animal".

"Xiao Ran, wake up."

"Hmm~" Chu Ran opened her sleepy eyes. "What, is dinner ready?"

"No, the club and Fudan University can't hold on any longer. You need to find a way to reduce some of the firepower."

Hearing Abu's words, Chu Ran yawned, stretched, and slowly said, "You guys are really useless. Shouldn't you have known this day would come?"

"Even if Uzi participates in the Asian Games, with so many of our EDG teams occupying so many spots, it's no wonder we get crushed. We're already known as the 'National Electric'."

Abu frowned. He wanted to refute Chu Ran, but found that Chu Ran's words made a lot of sense.

"So we have to rely on you, Chu Shen. Ran-ge, we really can't hold on any longer."

"Even if we can't hold on, we have to!"

Seeing Chu Ran's nonchalant attitude, Abu truly admired Chu Ran. His personal account was bombarded by countless people, but he didn't care at all.

Right.

Those people were simply inquiring about Chu Ran's parents and family genealogy.

But Chu Ran didn't have any.

"50w."

Am I the kind of person who likes money?

"100w."

"Indeed."

Chu Ran's eyes suddenly became incredibly clear, and he quickly patted his chest, "Don't worry, leave the task of attracting hatred to me."

"You can focus on promoting the fact that almost the entire EDG team was selected for the Asian Games."

"By the way, remember to come to my college entrance celebration banquet. Of course, it's okay if you can't come in person, as long as you've shown your good wishes."

Beast!
Abu didn't want to talk to Chu Ran right away; he just wanted the public opinion storm to pass as quickly as possible.

However, while some are sad, others are happy.

Seeing such a huge buzz, Fujii mobilized almost all of his publicity staff to work non-stop. You should know that the last time such an unprecedented event happened was when he won the championship at the Bird's Nest last year.

"I don't care what you do, just keep the public opinion flowing. Criticizing while praising at the same time, doesn't that just incite conflict?"

"Let's not let this topic of the Asian Games stop."

"We need to arrange matches between teams like EDG and RNG soon, you know?"

"Whether Chu Shen indirectly caused Uzbekistan's inability to participate in the Asian Games is not important; what is important is the traffic."

Fujii's manager was overjoyed. With traffic, who would need their own mother?

He watched the silent war raging on various forums and couldn't stop smiling.

Just when he was worried about how to recover the declining viewership of LPL, Chu Ran did him a big favor.

He must ensure that the hype surrounding the Asian Games lasts for ten days to half a month, maximizing the traffic and ideally attracting more capital to increase investment in the LPL.

But to his utter surprise, just as he was secretly rejoicing, his phone suddenly rang, tormenting countless LPL fans.

Inside the RNG club, Uzi was all too familiar with that voice. In an instant, it was as if a sensitive spot had been touched, and he jumped up.

"What is that bastard saying! What is he saying?!"

Upon hearing Uzi's roar, Xiaohu and the others all opened their phones and found Chu Ran's latest Weibo post.

then…

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, which Uzi found extremely grating, and his eyes widened like bells.

Xiao Hu sensed something was wrong and quickly withdrew his hand. Uzi missed his target and, taking advantage of Xiao Ming's inattention, snatched his phone.

Suddenly, Chu Ran's latest Weibo post caught his eye.

Weibo account EDG-Easy:

"Ah, right, right, I did all the bad things. You know Buzhou Mountain, right? I broke it, which caused the flood."

You've heard of King Zhou's wine pool and meat forest, right? I led the construction of that.

Bai Qi buried 40 people alive; I dug that pit.

It was I who suggested that Sima Yi break the oath at Luoshui, and it was I who led the Qing army into the pass.

No doubt about it, be confident, the fact that the world's number one ADC couldn't participate in the Asian Games is because of me.

If you're so capable, come and hit me through the internet cable!

There are even people here engaging in moral blackmail—"Oh dear, if the world's number one ADC isn't allowed to participate in the Asian Games, Chinese esports is doomed."

Can't the number one person in LPL be a little more magnanimous?

I suggest that the people who say these things buy a ticket to Sichuan overnight, take bus number XX, and when you arrive at your destination, you will see a Buddha statue. Smash it and sit on it.

It's like Cao Pi's father-in-law is telling a comedy routine, and Zhen Ji's father is hilarious!
Is it possible that those who can't participate in the Asian Games should look for the problems within themselves?
Wearing those fan-made headphones, he doesn't care about anyone and won't listen to any opinions.

Another reason is that I see his trendy shoes every day and think, "Oh, I'll buy a pair today, and it'll be so much easier to break through the city walls!"
In short, if you're not good at it, practice more and work hard. You'll have another chance at the Asian Games four years from now.

If you don't get selected for the Asian Games this time, don't be envious or jealous.

I'm asking you—what the hell are you champions?

By the way, there will be a live stream of the graduation banquet in mid-August. Family members, see you there!

"Fuck you! You bastard! What's wrong with me?! My pink headphones are in his way!"

"The rising sun! A wonder of the heavens!"

Uzi became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his breathing becoming extremely rapid, while Xiaoming's eyelids twitched wildly.

Finally, with a loud bang, he watched his phone explode before his eyes.

Beast!
My holy sword!

Xiao Hu breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken, and quickly put his new phone into his pocket.

Uzi is no longer just a team-destroying maniac; he's starting to become a home-destroying expert, just like a husky.

Chu Ran's Weibo post had only been published for a few minutes when it attracted the attention of netizens, haters, and outsiders alike, and the comment section exploded almost instantly.

[Hahaha! God Chu, you deserve to die!]

So it turns out you were the one who did all these terrible things! The list of crimes is endless!

[No one can deny what Chu Shen said, right? A criminal's confession!]

[Haha, that's hilarious! Chu Shen, you're so talented, you should definitely take the postgraduate entrance exam!]

[Letting the Leshan Giant Buddha rise and have someone sit on it is truly outrageous! Bengbu is in a frenzy, and the people of Sichuan are furious!]

[With the increase in useless proverbs, how many more proverbs can Cao Pi's father-in-law create?]

In an instant, the vast majority of GSL and other anti-fan groups were so angry that their eyes turned red.

They used every word they had to hurl insults, practically wearing out the report button.

At the same time, the official account secretly gave Chu Ran a thumbs up, leaving countless netizens stunned.

Immediately afterwards, an official Weibo post appeared, stating frankly that the selection for the Asian Games was the final result after comprehensive consideration from multiple perspectives, and had little to do with any particular athlete.

This immediately silenced many of the critics.

They were initially quite stubborn and angrily criticized the official stance, but it turned out they had just eaten too many red beans.

I'm lovesick.

Before long, Weibo, Tieba, Hupu, and major video platforms directly intervened, banning and deleting tens of thousands of accounts. In an instant, the popularity generated by the Asian Games diminished significantly, leaving the Fujii representative speechless.

In an instant, both the club and the haters quieted down.

Despite their resentment, the official stance is clear.

The list is finalized and will not be changed. If the problem cannot be solved, then the person who raised the problem will be dealt with.

This has always been the official tactic.

The hype lasted less than a day. By the second day, the entire internet was almost entirely focused on whether or not they could win gold at this Asian Games.

EDG, the official team, and Fujii immediately expressed their confidence in winning gold at this Asian Games.

[Go for it! We'll definitely win the gold medal at the Asian Games!]

If Chu Shen wins the Asian Games gold medal, he'll truly be the number one player in League of Legends.

[Of course! Even if Faker has three world championships, an Asian Games gold medal is enough to make up for the difference of two titles.]

[But the filial son has made a huge fuss, so let's not even talk about whether he can win the championship. What's the point of a demonstration event at the Asian Games?]

[Exactly! No need to even watch, the bot lane is getting crushed. Do you know how much champagne is going to be popping up in the LCK?!]

I'll just quietly watch as that beast and that damned old thief get crushed by LCK.

The forums were abuzz with heated discussions, and then the LPL roster was relayed to the LCK.

Countless Koreans were so excited that their faces turned red.

They thought Uzi would be the ADC for the Asian Games, but it turned out to be a scoundrel, someone most of the Koreans had never even heard of.

Upon investigation, it was found that he was not as good as Uzi.

At least Uzi has participated in the World Championship a few times.

Originally, because Faker was crushed by Chu Ran in the Intercontinental Cup, the Koreans were somewhat worried about the Asian Games.

They were all prepared to face the full EDG team at this Asian Games, plus Uzi, so it's really hard to find a breakthrough.

Although Uzi has a bad reputation, he's really not bad at all.

But when they replaced him with that old scoundrel Sima, the South Koreans immediately went wild, and their confidence increased considerably.

[Damn it! This time, LCK will definitely take back everything we've lost!]

[This old scoundrel Sima is definitely the weak point; we just need to surround and attack their bottom lane!]

[Revive the glory of LCK!]

[Won't we get crushed by this team from the weaker competition area?]

[It's all thanks to the fact that our LCK players are incredibly motivated this time; winning the Asian Games gold medal exempts them from military service! That's more important than any championship.]

As these South Koreans have said, the entire South Korean community attaches far more importance to the League of Legends event at this Asian Games than the LPL.

If Chu Ran and his team hadn't won the Intercontinental Championship last year, the official roster wouldn't have been announced. At most, they would have notified Fujii, and live streaming wouldn't have been allowed in China.

Although things have been relaxed a bit this year, the previous hype seems to have gone too far, and the organizers intend to reduce online discussion about the League of Legends event at the Asian Games.

In comparison, its popularity is nowhere near that of the LCK, and it only circulates within the LPL community.

On Hupu (a popular Chinese sports forum), groups of trolls and Han Kuo-yu supporters are constantly cursing LPL.

Especially the tadpoles, they were all like they'd been injected with chicken blood.

[Is losing to Faker once in the mid lane really considered inferior? Is judging a player's skill solely based on best-of-one matches?]

Yes, I admit SKT didn't beat Huni last year, but was that Faker's fault? Wasn't it because of that bastard Huni?

[Does anyone really think the three-time world champion is no longer good? Faker has a new team this time, he's definitely going to dominate.]

[I have a friend who works for SKT, and according to him, their LCK Asian Games roster dominated other LCK teams in scrims.]

[Classic: I have a friend, is this friend from the void?]

Haha, I've settled in Bengbu.

[Chu Shen: How many times do I have to beat Faker to prove I'm better than Faker?]

[If I truly defeat all the competitors, I'll shut up the critics who refuse to accept my defeat.]

[There's nothing we can do. They won championships and Grand Slams they shouldn't have won, and they qualified for the Asian Games they shouldn't have qualified for. If they had won gold at the Asian Games, their haters would have hated them for life, specifically targeting GSL.]

[That pathetic animal, no training, and he's doing this college entrance celebration livestream? He might win gold at the Asian Games, but I'll do a handstand and bite myself, livestreaming it!]

What? Are you jealous? Your sour look is just like Uzi and Doinb's.

[I'm not going to argue with the haters. I'm just waiting for Chu Shen to prove them wrong at the Asian Games. I'm going to watch Chu Shen's live stream now.]

Amidst the discussions, time quickly passed to mid-August.

Chu Ran and the others need to play practice matches whenever they have free time.

Perhaps because they focused their energy on the Asian Games, EDG's performance in recent matches has been even less satisfactory.

Many times, matches that should have been one-sided ended up being close and even occasionally resulting in upsets.

In the second round of the same group, EDG lost to RNG and RW again.

This fueled the trolls' scathing remarks, and the fact that Doinb and Uzi both mentioned during their livestreams that EDG wasn't doing well this year only excited fans of both teams.

At the same time, RNG achieved their 12th consecutive win in the Summer Split regular season, ranking first in Group B, with RW in second place.

IG also achieved an eight-game winning streak and ranked first in Group A. Now, fans of all three teams are celebrating like it's Chinese New Year.

Inside Chu Ran's live stream, the chat was raging with comments!

[You bastard! We asked you to evaluate EDG's performance these past few days, are you deaf? Or are you mute?]

[Is that all? Is this the top laner, jungler, and support they had at the Asian Games? They're really not as good as RNG.]

[Some people almost didn't even make the playoffs; it's a joke.]

[Surely no one still thinks Ran Chu is strong in mid lane? I feel like he can't even beat Doinb.]

[Is EDG still not planning to let Ranchu play? They're actually throwing some kind of graduation party here. Fujii is really something else, and they're even putting on an Asian Games send-off ceremony for Ranchu and his teammates.]

[GSL, Chicken Offal, Doinb's son, stop calling out. Your masters didn't receive an invitation.]

[Haha, most of the LPL players are here, but a few are missing? Who are they? It's hard to guess.]

In an instant, Chu Ran's live stream once again became the most popular stream on the entire internet.

In the live stream, Chu Ran's grand manor was filled with countless people.

Looking closely, they are basically all well-known figures in the LPL.

The cheers and shouts merged into a huge wave of amazement. As Chu Ran arrived in a black Rolls-Royce Cullinan, dressed in a handsome suit, the atmosphere of the entire manor was instantly brought to its peak.

The audience in the live stream was stunned. Some people posted the price of the Cullinan that Chu Ran was riding in and the price of the Richard Mille watch he was wearing in the comments.

The crowd stared in disbelief.

They knew Chu Ran had made a lot of money, but this was the first time they had a striking understanding of Chu Ran's net worth.

Just take that watch on your wrist, for example. It's something that many people could never acquire even after ten lifetimes of hard work.

Not to mention Chu Ran's connections; if a bomb were dropped on Chu Ran's manor, the entire LPL would be wiped out.

In addition, Fujii also sent someone over to give a passionate speech.

First, he affirmed Chu Ran's contributions to the LPL, and praised him for setting a good precedent for the LPL. He expressed his hope that LPL players could find time to improve themselves in addition to playing professionally. Fujii even specially opened up a learning channel for professional players before their retirement.

The streamer targets retired athletes and youth training personnel who have ideas.

He also presented Chu Ran with a prize money and then expressed his high hopes for the Asian Games.

They even wore the exclusive team uniforms for this Asian Games, which were all white and covered with almost all the brand logos, but they couldn't hide the brilliance of the five-star red flag.

In an instant, the entire live chat exploded with excitement!

[6666! I'm just wondering which clubs still allow players to drape themselves in the national flag!]

[GSL is back again. Your RNG team is just an all-Chinese roster, but ultimately it's still a club, it can't represent the country, understand?]

[Wow, just how rich is he? A huge estate, Cullinan, Richard Miller, all luxury brands. Chu Shen is probably the highest-paid player in the LPL, right?]

[Be bold, in League of Legends, even those like Miss and Xiaozhi Ruofeng who sell meat floss cakes aren't as valuable as Chu Shen.]

[I've seen some expert calculations; with Chu Shen's livestreaming and endorsement contracts, he probably has no less than 5 million yuan in his bank account right now.]

hiss!
Upon seeing this comment, all the critics gasped in shock.

This made Uzi, Doinb, Ning, and others who were watching the live stream extremely jealous.

Who goes pro to make money? If you can win a championship and make a lot of money at the same time, that would be the best.

But now Chu Ran has accomplished both of these things, and in comparison, they have been utterly crushed by Chu Ran.

While one's own failures are painful, a friend's success is even more insane.

What's even more infuriating is that they were extremely annoyed by the successful rant.

"Damn it, what's the point of showing off? He even drove a Cullinan here. Let's see if he can still act like this after he loses the Asian Games."

Inside the RNG club, Uzi gritted his teeth and said sourly, prompting Xiaohu and others to chime in.

"The building might collapse any day now."

"This beast is so high-profile, he's bound to get his comeuppance eventually. Just wait and see, I think that day is not far off. I'll be waiting for the day he's completely disgraced."

Just after Uzi finished saying he'd eaten ten bottles of aged vinegar, in the live stream, Chu Ran and his group who were participating in the Asian Games were being interviewed by Huang Yueguang and Yu Shuang.

"Alright, so, Chu Shen, how confident are you guys about winning gold at this Asian Games? I see that the LCK region is full of confidence. Kona, the head coach of the LCK for this Asian Games, even said in an interview a few days ago that he would take back everything that belongs to the LCK at the Asian Games. Chu Shen, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Upon hearing Yu Shuang's question, countless viewers in the live stream perked up their ears, while Mala Xiangguo and the others pondered for a moment before turning their attention to Chu Ran.

Chu Ran picked up the microphone, his expression utterly calm, and slowly began to speak:
"I don't have any particular opinion, but I would suggest that the LCK side fast forward to the point where Uzi owes them an Asian Games gold medal."

"????"

In an instant, a sky full of question marks flew across the faces of everyone present and in the live broadcast room.

Countless eyes were focused on Chu Ran's face, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up slightly, revealing a wide grin:
"Because Uzi didn't participate in this Asian Games, LCK couldn't win a gold medal. If Uzi had participated, they might have won gold. Wouldn't that mean Uzi owes them an Asian Games gold medal?"

"?????"

After these words were spoken, question marks flooded in like a tidal wave, sweeping wildly towards Chu Ran.

In an instant, the manor was filled with deathly silence, and the live stream chat went completely silent!
But in a brief moment, the deathly silence was broken by a gasp of shock.

Then, it spread rapidly, shaking the entire LPL and LCK to its core with lightning speed!
