LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 240: He was once proud to kill Lee Sang-hyeok in a solo fight, and now he is proud to face Chu Shen in a laning match!
In an instant, Chu Ran's words echoed throughout the entire Asian League of Legends esports livestream room.

Like thunderclaps from the heavens, the sound resonated deeply with the viewers in the live stream.

The live stream room instantly erupted into a frenzy. Many League of Legends players at the interview site stared wide-eyed at the young man in the white team uniform, somewhat incredulous.

The South Koreans who had traveled a long way and Han Xiaozi gripped their water bottles tightly.

If allowed, they would love to let Chu Ran know what it feels like to have a mineral water bottle smashed over his head.

The Japanese viewers were even more furious, on the verge of committing seppuku.

Meanwhile, the domestic audience was overjoyed and cheered for Chu Ran in the live broadcast room.

[666, if you don't understand, just ask: what does it mean for a Japanese team to be doing pretty well? Haha.]

What was Chu Shen trying to say? It's so hard to guess! My scalp is itching; I need to use my brain.

[My goodness, is Chu Shen directly saying Faker is bad?]

[When the tide goes out, it's clear who's been swimming naked. That makes so much sense; I'm speechless. Is this the talent of Chu Shen?]

[Stop calling him a "Han Xiaozi" and "Kezai" (a derogatory term for someone who idolizes Korean stars). The past is the past, the present is the present. Do you dare say Faker didn't play badly this year? If it weren't for so many "Han Xiaozi," would Dafei (Faker's nickname) even be at the Asian Games this year?]

What necessary connection is there between Faker's past strength and his current performance? Korean fans and their followers can fool themselves, but don't fool the netizens. Just ask your coach, Dafei, what championships has he won in the past year or so?

Seeing these comments, countless fans and Koreans were furious, wishing they could bring Faker onto the field right now and smash the mouths of these haters who were criticizing Faker.

[NMSL, you filial son! Those who ascend the mountain are mocking the gods descending, aren't they? Think about whether you're worthy of their status!]

Even if Faker gets worse or older, he'll always be the father of the LPL, a region known for its mercenary-style competition!

[This is ridiculous. Faker only lost once, and these haters are harping on it. Let me ask you, why don't they talk about the times Faker won before?]

[Damn it! I really don't know what Easy is pretending for. I want to tear his mouth apart.]

[Further words are useless; we'll see in the final. But with such arrogance, they might lose to Vietnam in the end!]

At that moment, Faker, backstage, understood the meaning of Chu Ran's words in the interview through a translator, and his face immediately darkened.

It has always been Lee Sang-hyeok who has shown his true colors to the people in the LPL.

When did things turn out the other way around?
It is simply a rebellion against Tiangang!

Faker pushed up his glasses with one hand, his expression very serious. Before he could even speak, Khan immediately said angrily, "One day, I'll step on his head, damn it!"

"Damn it! It's all your fault for being so bad before. If you had just crushed him in one game, he wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant." Mata was quite angry and wanted to refute Chu Ran's words, but surprisingly found that there was nothing to criticize.

Because Chu Ran has the qualifications and the ability to say these words.

At this point, Deft rubbed his chin and laughed, "Xiao Ran is as arrogant as ever. That describes him perfectly; he's young and impetuous."

"Youthful arrogance, huh?"

Peanut's thoughts immediately drifted back to two years ago, when he kicked the factory manager to 4396. He was young and arrogant back then, but after a whole year of last year and this year's MSI, his arrogance diminished considerably, and he was shattered by Chu Ran.

He glanced at Faker and remembered that Faker seemed even more arrogant than Chu Ran when he first debuted, so at this moment Faker's gloomy face turned into a wide smile.

"Sang-hyeok hyung, what are you laughing at?"

"After all these years, I've finally met an opponent in the mid lane, but unfortunately I'm no longer at my peak." Faker said with his arms crossed and his words were quite confident: "However, since our last encounter at the Intercontinental Cup, I've discovered that he also has many shortcomings, such as playing too aggressively, so I hope he can give me a good time this time."

After losing the last Intercontinental Cup, Faker swore to Kkoma that he would not lose again.

Of course, he's said this many times.

"There can only be one king in the mid lane, and I'm not old yet!"

They refuse to grow old or admit defeat!

This is Faker's current mental state. Even though he has lost to Chu Ran many times, he can still accept this kind of defeat since the crushing defeat in S4.

Faker believed and was convinced that he would win back.

What he didn't know was that in the following years, his life would indeed get worse year by year.

Soon, amidst widespread discussion, the first day of the Asian Games' League of Legends group stage began, with the match between the Korean and Indonesian regions taking place.

Faker and the others were probably furious with Chu Ran's words, so they went all out and showed no mercy to the organizers, leaving the Indonesian audience looking like wilted eggplants.

Although I knew that my region was far behind other regions, I didn't expect the gap to be this big.

During the post-match interview, Faker's words ignited the passion of the Korean fans.

"Easy is strong, but I am stronger. In this Asian Games, I will make LCK return to the top region!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream chat rooms in all competition areas exploded with excitement!

[Faker! This is Faker, this is Lee Sang-hyeok!]

[This beastly cricket dares to speak disrespectfully to the gods; he will soon be punished by them!]

[And this time it's not the punishment of the Void God, it's the true god of League of Legends, so this guy will definitely get crushed by Faker!]

[There are actually some die-hard fans of Ran Chu saying that Ran Chu is a god, it's ridiculous. These armchair gamers are just ridiculous. You know, anyone who could solo kill Faker back then became a famous player. What is Ran Chu?!]

[But who does he think he is! Every player used to want to solo kill Faker, but those armchair gamers have no idea what Faker represents for League of Legends!]

After the Asian Games group stage ended today, major forums were immediately abuzz with excitement, and the words "Chu Ran" and "Faker" appeared prominently on the trending topics list.

#Chinese team crushes Japanese team in League of Legends at Asian Games!#
#Chu Shen bluntly says Faker is swimming naked!#
#Faker believes he's better than Chu Shen and hopes Chu Shen can help him have a great time at this Asian Games!#
#The League of Legends China team has successfully advanced to the semifinals!#
"Ran-ge, you're famous all over the country now. So many people are asking who this handsome young man is. I feel like you're about to become a national heartthrob."

Inside the hotel restaurant, Meiko looked at the trending topics on her phone with a hint of jealousy, and added, "We're all part of the same group, so why is your rating only 13.0?"

"Exactly, everyone put in their best effort in the group stage today, but after the results were tallied, we all got carried to victory." Spicy Hot Pot smacked his lips. "Chu Shen, you have so many female fans, introduce a few to the brothers."

Hearing their words, Chu Ran struggled to swallow the food in her mouth and said noncommittally, "What do you mean I'm about to become a national male god? I've always been, haven't I?"

"And Mr. Guo, you have to attract female fans yourself. I suggest you go to South Korea for plastic surgery after the Asian Games."

"Damn! This is a personal attack!"

Spicy Hot Pot jumped up in anger and started playfully fighting with Chu Ran. Even the usually taciturn Sima Laozei became talkative.

"Hey old rascal, don't listen to what these online trolls are saying. When we win gold at the Asian Games, they'll shut up." Meiko patted Sima Laozei on the shoulder.

This made Sima Laozei force a smile. Ever since he became the Asian Games AD, his private messages have been exploding every day, and his parents and family tree have been receiving friendly greetings from GSL every day.

It would be a lie to say there was no pressure.

If we lose, it will likely cause a huge uproar online.

"Exactly, don't worry so much. Besides, Xiao Ran will take care of things if the sky falls. Relax." Ming Kai said carefree, "Anyway, if we don't win the gold medal, Xiao Ran will be the one who gets the most criticism."

“That’s true. If we lose, it’s uncertain whether Chu Shen will be able to return to China safely. He might be packed up by angry fans and sent to Myanmar overnight.” Holy Gun Bro said with a laugh, then gave Chu Ran an elbow strike, noticing that Chu Ran’s eyes were fixed on the front.

Following Chu Ran's gaze, they saw a familiar chubby boy, with Karsa and others sitting next to him.

“That’s the provincial team, right? I heard they’ve been acting really arrogant lately. I saw a post that netizens were forwarding; they said their region was going to crush us.” Meiko paused for a moment after saying that.

"You guys don't know, our region is very strong this year. I feel that beating the Chinese team in the semifinals is no problem at all."

"Shut up, Tianye, you're being so mean!" Mingkai smacked Meiko on the head.

Just as they were joking around, Uzi looked over at them, and his face immediately darkened. He said to a young man next to him, "See this? This is Ran Chu. If you crush him in tomorrow's semifinals, you'll definitely become famous, and your value will increase tenfold."

Upon hearing Uzi's words, Fofo nodded. Although Uzi was somewhat using someone else to do his dirty work, who among those who came out to play professionally didn't want to make a name for themselves?

Now that everyone is a mid-laner, Chu Ran is the best stepping stone. Fofo and Chu Ran exchanged a glance, then Fofo nodded, got up, and quietly walked up to Chu Ran.

"Hello, Chu Shen, let's get acquainted. I'm Fofo, the mid laner for the Taiwan team. I'm looking forward to playing against you tomorrow."

For a moment, Chu Ran was stunned. In his memory, Fofo should not have participated in this year's Asian Games. Although Fofo debuted in the LMS in 2015 and even won the runner-up in S6, he lost to the then LMS region's number one team, Flash Wolves.

However, Chu Ran quickly dismissed the thought, perhaps because the butterfly effect was too strong, especially since Karsa had participated in this Asian Games.

Chu Ran smiled and shook hands with Fofo, then slowly said, "Hello, I guess you won't be looking forward to it after tomorrow. Friendly reminder, I suggest you stay away from Brother Zaozi, otherwise you'll be in trouble."

Fofo: "?"

Fofo didn't understand Chu Ran's words at all.

After a brief introduction, Chu Ran and the others returned to their rooms. At the same time, Uzi took the opportunity to post a Weibo update, a group photo of him with Fofo, Karsa, and others.

Weibo user UziQaQ:

[It was a pleasure to exchange ideas with the Taiwanese team today. Their mid-laner, Fofo, is an excellent player. We have many outstanding domestic mid-laners, so I hope everyone doesn't focus too much on one person. Finally, I wish both teams the best of luck tomorrow.]

As soon as he posted this Weibo, many GSLs sprang up, all incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

[Oh! What does this mean? It's Dog Lord's personal choice!]

[I checked Fofo's match history, and he seems pretty good as a mid laner. He almost beat Faker in the group stage today, maybe he can crush that guy tomorrow!]

[You filial sons, are you calling your mother "Mom"? When have we ever not supported the Chinese team? What, isn't Taiwan part of China?]

If Mingtian and his gang get wiped out by the provincial team, they'll be utterly humiliated.

Putting everything else aside, since it's Dog Master's decision, let's trust this Fofo's plan. Tomorrow, charge! Take down that bastard Ran and ruin his reputation!

At that moment, Fofo, who was in the hotel, did not expect that such a huge amount of traffic would suddenly fall on him. At Karsa's suggestion, he quickly opened his own Weibo account.

In no time, the number of his followers on Weibo kept increasing, and in the comment section of his Weibo posts, all kinds of praise kept popping up.

Seeing this scene, Fofo couldn't help but marvel at the massive traffic of the LPL. No wonder Karsa left Flash Wolves for RNG. Making a name for himself in the LPL would have offered him a much better future than his Hong Kong and Taiwan region.

Uzi mentioned him on Weibo, and the attention he received was many times greater than before.

"Brother Haoxuan, if I really beat Easy tomorrow, will LPL teams really extend offers to me next year?"

Karsa nodded confidently, "Definitely. If you dominate the online scene tomorrow, your value will increase several times over. If you win, I reckon a ton of clubs will contact you."

"However, if you lose..."

Before Karsa could finish speaking, he saw Fofo quickly editing, and a Weibo post appeared under his Weibo feed.

Weibo Fofo:

I'm so happy to suddenly have so many followers. I will definitely do my best tomorrow and live up to their expectations.

"How's my Weibo activity going, Haoxuan-ge?"

"Uh," Karsa felt a chill run down her spine. "It's alright, but I advise you to turn off your private messaging, especially tomorrow."

"Why?" Fofo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because I'm afraid you'll get beaten up by that guy tomorrow, and then you'll suffer from the backlash of the traffic. Right now, most of the people who are paying attention to you are GUzi's fans."

Upon hearing Karsa's words, Fofo's eyes flickered a few times, somewhat dismissive, and he said confidently, "Although he is very strong, there should be a limit to how strong he is. I don't believe that he is so strong that there is no limit. I have studied his few mid-lane games."

"I think the biggest reason is that the people who were matched up against him were too careless. They all thought that he was just a top laner last year and that he would not adapt well to the mid lane this year. As a result, they were caught off guard and then countered. For example, Faker in the Intercontinental Cup was completely countered by him."

"Since Easy was able to go from an unknown player to the number one player in the LPL last year, I think I can do it too. I've been playing for two years, and I think this is my chance to make a name for myself!"

"Hey, you're this guy! I'm rooting for you, bro, good luck tomorrow!"

Karsa gave Fofo a thumbs up and said no more.

It's normal for contestants to have ambition, but the problem is when their ambition becomes too high.

As expected, the LPL forums immediately became incredibly noisy, with many netizens discussing Fofo on platforms like Hupu Anti-Fan Bar.

How would you evaluate the claim that "The Bath Dog" hired Fofo, a nobody, hoping to defeat Chu Shen tomorrow?

Is Fofo really hungry and wants to make money in the LPL? He's hanging out with the "bathing dog" (a derogatory term for a man who mingles with women who enjoy bathing).

"One is willing to hit, the other is willing to be hit: a real-life version of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai!"

[This is hilarious! Brother Zaozi is really hoping Chu Shen dies; he's deliberately driving traffic to this Fofo guy.]

[Fofo? What the hell? Never even heard of it. Can it even hold out against Chu Shen for three minutes tomorrow?]

[Ran's son is making a scene. He thinks he's the strongest, huh? He thinks no mid-laner in the world, except for Faker, is worthy to carry his shoes. He looks down on everyone.]

I've thought Faker has been crushed by some second-rate mid laners before, so why doesn't Rando get crushed?

You can doubt the puppy's ability, but you can't doubt the puppy's judgment. I think this Fofo is good; wasn't his performance today better than Xiaohu's?

[At least they won't have the Golden Body, Banshee's Veil, or Cloth Armor Shoes. I feel like if Fofo and Uzi had the chance to play on the same team, Uzi would probably win a lot of championships, maybe at least three.]

"Haha, Ran-ge, look at this, this comment is so spot on. If it were something like this, Zao-ge would have won countless championships by now."

Inside the hotel training room, Meiko and Spicy Hot Pot were laughing so hard they cried. Given the hotel environment, it was impossible for them to concentrate on ranking up, so browsing the forums became one of their few sources of amusement.

"This Fofo guy has been blinded by popularity, daring to try and take advantage of Chu Shen." Spicy Hot Pot was overjoyed. "But it seems that Xiaohu is the one who is most seriously injured. I've seen many GSL players comparing Fofo to Xiaohu, and Xiaohu lost miserably."

"Xiao Ran, you better not lose to Fofo tomorrow, or you'll really be ruined." Ming Kai gave Chu Ran a look, and was also overjoyed.

"This young man doesn't listen to the advice of his elders; he'll regret it now."

Chu Ran put her hands behind her back, leaving Ming Kai and the others with her back turned, and walked straight towards her room.

Seeing this, Meiko was taken aback. "Why is Ran acting so old-fashioned? I thought he was only this young."

At this point, Meiko raised her thumb and forefinger, with a very small gap between them, which amused everyone.

"Meiko, be careful. I advise you to lock the door tightly tonight. Who knows, Chu Shen might be eavesdropping outside."

Meiko shuddered for a moment, and she was on high alert when she went to sleep that night. When she woke up the next day, her dark circles were very obvious.

By 1 p.m. on the second day, the popularity of the official live broadcast rooms on major live streaming platforms had reached 3000 million, with countless viewers stopping in the live broadcast room.

Inside the huge stadium, many spectators from China were waving national flags and cheering for Chu Ran and the others. After the pre-match promotional video ended, several familiar figures appeared on the live broadcast screen.

"Alright, good afternoon to everyone, both at the venue and watching the live stream. Welcome to the semifinals of the League of Legends esports demonstration event at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games. We're about to bring you the match between the Chinese team and the Taiwan team. I'm your commentator, Miller!"

"Hello everyone, I'm commentator Guan Zeyuan!"

"Today's match has attracted a lot of attention from viewers, mainly because I saw many people discussing Fofo, also known as Zhu Junlan, the mid-laner, online yesterday. This is because he performed very well in the group stage yesterday, going toe-to-toe with Faker Lee Sang-hyeok. Everyone is looking forward to his match against Chu Ran today."

Guan Zeyuan started the conversation first, then looked at Miller and asked, "Mr. Miller, what do you think? How do you rate Zhu Junlan's chances against Chu Ran?"

Miller laughed and thought for a moment before saying, "I think Chu Ran will teach him a lesson today. Of course, I also expect Zhu Junlan and the Taiwan team to perform well. To be honest, I really want to see Chu Ran get crushed. That's for sure."

"Haha, you know what, even Chu Ran's fans want to see him, because we have never seen Chu Ran's limit so far, and we hope that Zhu Junlan can bring us a surprise."

The moment they finished speaking, the live stream chat began to flood with comments.

[Teacher DaMi and Guan Gou are just spouting nonsense. I don't believe it. But is that beast really that strong? No one can beat him.]

[Go, Fofo! Crush Ranchu! It doesn't matter if the Taiwan team wins or loses, as long as Ranchu plays terribly.] [The guy who went toe-to-toe with Faker yesterday, even Doggo said he could do it, just believe him.]

At the same time, in the commentary booth of the Taiwan division, the commentators were enthusiastically conducting pre-match analysis.

"I don't think we need to be too pessimistic. First of all, we have Karsa, the radar guy, and FoFo, a pretty good mid laner. Their mid-jungle synergy is something else. It's not impossible for us to beat the Chinese team and advance to the finals today."

His words garnered support from countless viewers in the Taiwan region, who rallied to cheer him on.

But a moment later, the previously noisy GSL and Taiwan region audiences suddenly fell silent, leaving only the deafening shouts of countless LPL fans in the venue and live broadcast room.

And the announcement of the pentakill coming from the canyon.

"My God! Chu Ran, playing Rumble mid, has once again achieved a pentakill in this Baron fight! This is Chu Ran, the top mid laner from China!"

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan and Miller shouted at the top of their lungs.

Looking at the 35-1 kill ratio on the points panel, EDG's 1 gold lead, and Chu Ran's 16-0 Rumble, the entire LPL instantly became incredibly excited.

"That's right, Chu Ran is truly terrifying. His mid-lane Rumble once again showed us how terrifying he is. He completely crushed Zhu Junlan's Galio, and even countered him in reverse."

"Yes, Mr. Miller, not only that, Chu Ran not only destroyed Zhu Junlan's Galio, but also crushed Hong Haoxuan's Jarvan IV. All of this stemmed from the Taiwan team's mid-jungle synergy at the start of the game, which they tried to take down Chu Ran, but Chu Ran turned the tables and got a double kill in a 1v2 situation!"

"In that case, congratulations to the Chinese team for defeating the Taiwan team in 25 minutes and 21 seconds, winning their first semi-final match!"

The moment the crystal representing Taiwan Province shattered, the scene erupted like thunder, with cheers and applause pouring in, and the live stream chat flooded with comments.

[Talkative! Haters talkative!]

[I already said Fofo is a piece of trash, he was completely fooled by Bath Dog and GSL, and only dared to come and mess with Chu Shen after eating Six-Eyed Flying Fish alive.]

[Hahaha, this is hilarious! GSL and the Taiwan region, why aren't you saying anything? Did you leave your vocal cords at home today?]

Despite these comments, some critics are still stubbornly insisting that a best-of-five series shouldn't be judged solely on the first game.

But in the following second and third games...

Saint Gun completely dominated the top lane, and Spicy Pot also highlighted the huge gap between RNG's old and new junglers. In the third game, he used Gragas to defeat Karsa's Lee Sin by a score of 3365.

The 3-0 victory over the Taiwan region caused a huge uproar throughout the LPL!

[666! Wow, that's amazing! Is this the Nakano from the Taiwan team?]

The mid-jungle duo from the Taiwanese region is incredibly skilled; combined, they died nearly 40 times across three games! They're absolutely dominant!

[The Royal Fan Club is really in chaos. Is Karsa better than Mala Xiangguo? Was abandoning Coach Guo and choosing Karsa the right choice? Stop arguing!]

[4396 is really getting higher and higher!]

At this moment, the audience of GSL and the Taiwan region were furious and could not accept this outcome.

Uzi, in particular, really wanted to see Fofo crush Chu Ran and Karsa crush Mlxg, but now it's completely the opposite. In the three games, Chu Ran and his team played like bots, and Uzi had no chance to fight back at all.

At the competition venue, Fofo stared blankly at his computer screen, unable to accept the outcome.

Why is there such a big difference?

Fofo muttered something, his face pale, staring silently at his hands, which were visibly trembling.

In the first game, he was completely crushed by Rumble. In the second game, he played Orianna but was so badly beaten by Chu Ran's Syndra that he didn't even dare to look at the minion wave. In the third game, he learned his lesson and picked Sion for mid lane. However, Chu Ran did not follow the usual path and picked Fiora for mid lane.

The draft alone was enough to kill them, not to mention Chu Ran's Fiora against his Sion, trying to use a suicide strategy to restrain Chu Ran's Fiora, but it actually resulted in their deaths. Chu Ran's Fiora became a big boss, killing his teammates in three hits. After the third game, several of his teammates also developed 'Jian Zihao Syndrome'.

What is 'Jane Zihao Syndrome'?

This theory was proposed some time ago by the famous netizen 'Thunder King YYX'.

The theory states that many athletes exhibit "Jane Zihao Syndrome" after losing a match or falling into a disadvantageous position. Its characteristics include flushed face, temporary loss of hearing, loss of speech ability, and silence. The infection rate of this syndrome is as high as 80%.

This theory quickly gained the approval of netizens, which made Uzi so angry that he wanted to kill someone that day.

When Chu Ran came over and shook hands with them, Fofo's condition had not improved. He was completely disoriented, as if Chu Ran had drained him of all his energy.

After shaking hands, Meiko smacked his lips and said with some emotion, "Ran-ge, look at you, you've shattered another person's championship dream."

"Tianye, if you keep talking, I'll shatter your championship dream too."

"I don't care, I already have a championship anyway." Meiko paused for a moment, then shrugged, and then bowed to the audience along with Chu Ran and the others.

In an instant, the spotlight shone on them again, and the sounds of camera shutters and cheers from the scene merged together, creating a huge sound wave that seemed to want to overturn the entire stadium.

Meanwhile, Guan Zeyuan and Miller's voices echoed in the air above the hall!

"Let's congratulate the Chinese team again! They defeated the Taiwan team with an absolute 3-0 victory and advanced to the finals of the Asian Games League of Legends event, where they will soon be aiming for the gold medal!"

"For players like Chu Ran, this may just be one match in their professional careers, but for Chinese esports as a whole, it is a giant leap forward in history!"

"That's right! Chu Ran is waving his hands in response to the enthusiastic audience!" Guan Zeyuan roared excitedly, "Waving isn't goodbye, it's telling the whole world that you still have to practice!"

hiss--!
After Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, Miller couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, and the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room gasped in surprise. Then the entire LPL turned into a boiling ocean!
The 3-0 sweep of the provincial team and the phrase "You guys still need to practice" quickly became a trending topic. Many viewers checked the trending list and found the top post to be: #WavingIsNotGoodbye,It'sJustThatBrotherYouStillNeedToPractice!#
The trending post had already garnered tens of thousands of comments within minutes of being published.

[Guan Gou said something insightful again, but he might be sued for defamation by Chu Shen.]

[Haha, Chu Shen: Guan Gou, shut up! I was just enjoying the cheers. What do you mean by telling the whole world they still have to practice? Even if that's what I really think, you can't say it out loud!]

[This worthless nobody dares to try and take advantage of Chu Shen? I'll ask you again, who is Fofo?]

[If you're laughing so hard you can't live anymore, go to Fofo's Weibo account, and you'll find that GSL is criticizing them even more fiercely than we are.]

The semi-final had just ended, and Fofo returned to the backstage dressing room feeling utterly dejected. He checked his phone and his pupils dilated in shock. He finally understood what Karsa meant by what he had said yesterday.

[You noob! Retire! What trash! You wasted our time driving traffic for you, and this is how you repay us and our expectations?]

[You beast! You're not even as good as a tiger! Don't ever come to the LPL again!]

[You're overthinking it. With his skill level, he can't possibly come to the LPL! He should just retire in the LMS region!]

【Do you know you're guilty? You beast!】

In an instant, Fofo saw that his phone was constantly receiving private message notifications, which even caused his phone to lag, and his face turned extremely frightened.

What kind of hellish place is LPL?
He'd been playing in his own region for almost three years and had never received this kind of treatment. Looking at the endless private messages cursing his family tree, Fofo felt a chill run down his spine and looked to Karsa for help.

It turned out that Karsa also had a gloomy face. He had no time to care about Fofo. His private messages were being bombarded by fans of the Royal Club and GSL, who were all angrily criticizing him for being inferior to Spicy Hot Pot.

In particular, Mala Xiangguo posted a Weibo update that directly ignited the anger of Royal Fans and GSL.

Weibo user EDG-Mlxg:

[@RoyalFoneEsportsClub, @UziQaQ, I made it to the Asian Games finals, what about you guys?]

This Weibo post immediately infuriated RNG's manager, San Shao. They were already incredibly frustrated that Uzi didn't make it to the Asian Games, but at least they had Karsa to represent Taiwan.

Regardless, Karsa is still a member of RNG, and if they can make good use of him, they can gain a lot of attention at this Asian Games.

But who would have thought that in today's match, Mlxg completely dominated Karsa? RNG's new jungler was outplayed by the old jungler, and was even solo-killed twice by Mlxg in the jungle. Their club has completely lost face.

When Uzi saw the Weibo post by Mala Xiangguo, he was so angry that his face turned red.

"What is that idiot pretending for! What is he pretending for!"

Uzi raised his hand, but then, remembering that Aomimi was next to him, he loosened his fist, opened his phone's notes app, and silently changed the number in the sentence "I'm going to punch Xiaohu 32 times after I go back to China" to 33.

But as soon as he finished making the changes, he checked his phone and found that Sima Laozei had also posted a Weibo post, so he clicked on it.

Weibo user RW-Smlz:

I've made it to the finals! I'll prove I'm no worse than anyone else. If being the world's best ADC is possible without a championship, then I think I can be too!

"Damn it! What is that damn old scoundrel pretending for now? What is he pretending for now! Does he think he's playing really well? He's just relying on Ran Chu! Ran Chu is messing around in front while he's picking up kills from behind. He's just a lazy dog ​​who won by lying down!"

Uzi opened the notes app and changed 33 directly to 40.

He couldn't wait to fly back to China and grab Little Tiger Hammer.

At the same time, at the RNG club, Xiaohu sneezed a few times and changed the number 23 to 26 in his memo.

If it weren't for Uzi bringing traffic to Fofo, this semi-final match wouldn't have received so much attention from netizens, and many netizens wouldn't have compared themselves to Fofo.

It's all Jian Zihao's fault!

Xiao Hu cursed inwardly. He had become addicted to beating Uzi lately, and he planned to let Uzi know the power of his iron fist when Uzi came back.

At this moment, many GSL players who were already furious gathered in the comments section of Sima Laozei's Weibo account to start a team-building activity.

[Damn it, you old bastard, what are you doing here, a useless AD carry trying to ride the wave of the game? I was wondering why we couldn't see any trash from Indonesia anymore, turns out you've been dominating the game!]

Don't you know your own limitations? You don't actually think you can represent your country at the Asian Games, and you really think you're better than Dog King, do you?

[Even though Doggo doesn't have a championship, he's universally recognized as the world's best ADC. He's defeated all professional players. Who do you think you are? Can you even beat Bang tomorrow?]

[My dog ​​has never lost to Bang, you know? Even though RNG lost to SKT, my dog ​​hasn't lost!]

[6666, classic! Absolutely classic! RNG lost, but Uzi didn't.]

[Haha, I think GSL has gone mad. They can't stand to see Chu Shen and his team make it to the finals?]

[Nonsense, they only pretend when fighting Japan; otherwise, they can't even be bothered to pretend anymore. Didn't they even hope that Chu Shen and his team would lose to Vietnam and that Chu Shen would become a Vietnamese prisoner?]

[Chu Shen: Who said that? I've never submitted to Uzi.]

[This is ridiculous, GSL. You can fool your fans, but don't fool yourselves.]

Excuse me, I'm going to now compile a list of Uzi's head-to-head records with other AD carries.

In an instant, the internet was abuzz with discussion. GSL was furious and vented his anger on Karsa and Fofo, even though Uzi hadn't been there to drive traffic to Fofo.

If they had lost today, Chu Ran and his team might have made it to the finals. In that case, GSL would have focused solely on Karsa, criticizing him as useless. But Fofo suddenly came into GSL's view yesterday, and now he's naturally suffering a backlash from the increased attention.

Before long, Fofo couldn't withstand the pressure and changed its Weibo name to 'woyouzui!'

The entire LPL was once again embroiled in heated discussions.

Backstage, where Chu Ran and the others were resting, Meiko, after witnessing this scene, gave Chu Ran a thumbs up in amazement, saying, "Holy crap, Ran-ge, you're truly amazing! Fofo is really guilty now."

"Hahaha, divine punishment indeed! I told you not to get so close to Uzi, or you'd suffer misfortune." Spicy Hot Pot deeply sympathized. Fofo had only been in contact with Uzi for a few days, and he had already suffered divine punishment.

What a pitiful young man.

Chu Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Fofo's Weibo nickname. "I told him to stay away from God, but he didn't listen. Good luck to him. Now that we're watching the game, can Sofm step up his game and take down Faker and the others?"

"Damn it, Xiao Ran, you must be dreaming. I don't think any LPL or LCK team could possibly lose to Vietnam."

Upon hearing Mingkai's words, Chu Ran pursed her lips indifferently, "Have you forgotten WE? In 2013, you lost to the Saigon Jokers in Vietnam. You were WE's jungler."

"Hahahahahaha!"

"66666!"

When Chu Ran finished speaking, Meiko and the others were all stunned for a moment, clearly having forgotten about the match. A few seconds later, they suddenly realized what was happening and burst out laughing.

Mingkai's eyes widened, his face turned bright red, and he said emphatically, "Does that mean the 2013 competition counts? We were just not in good form, and the heroes in that version were all overpowered. Teams from other regions weren't bad either. Vietnam was very strong back then. What do you know?"

Seeing Chu Ran's disdainful look, Ming Kai instantly became furious, "Losing in the ancient version doesn't count as losing!"

"6!"

"You little bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

"They're panicking! Their defenses have been breached!"

In an instant, the entire backstage area was filled with a joyful atmosphere, while on the competition stage, the match between South Korea and Vietnam was proceeding in an orderly manner. A moment later, Chu Ran's hope that Vietnam would capture Faker and the others was shattered.

The gap was too large, and Faker and others decisively won 3-0 in a fast break.

However, it's worth mentioning that the Vietnamese mid-laner solo-killed Faker in the third game, which immediately went viral and led to countless Korean fans praising him.

[Look at the faces of the mercenary region, always talking about Dafei, and then a Vietnamese mid laner solo-killing Faker makes you all ecstatic?]

[Hilarious! They say Faker is no longer good, but deep down they still acknowledge his influence!]

[Solo kill against Faker is the ultimate honor for a mid laner. Even if he's incredibly strong, can he really achieve that kind of impact?]

These comments spread rapidly online after today's semi-final match, quickly sparking heated discussions among fans of all backgrounds about tomorrow's final.

Some even listed the current situations of all the players who solo-killed Faker, all of whom were or are currently top players active in the professional scene, with one exception, of course.

That means Yue Lun was also included; he is the only player on this list who was solo killed by Faker.

[How dare this filial son spout nonsense! Look at what influence really is! Does this beast even deserve to be the world's best mid laner?]

[This beast isn't even worthy of carrying Faker's shoes!]

[When Faker won the championship, Ran was still playing in the mud. I don't know who's praising Ran back then. Let's wait until tomorrow. I believe Faker will return to his godlike state.]

[Faker: If you don't play mid lane, seeing me is like a frog in a well seeing the moon; if you play mid lane, seeing me is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky!]

[Ah, right, right, let's stop comparing strength and start comparing influence. Those guys know how to downplay their strengths.]

Are you guys clowns hired by Ah Q? You've really mastered the art of psychological victory.

SKT lost, but Faker didn't! Stop hyping him up, or I'll start calling Faker Uzi (the mid-laner).

Just as countless netizens were discussing it, Chu Ran's Weibo post suddenly appeared in everyone's view, instantly attracting the attention of many netizens.

Weibo account EDG-Easy:

Thanks for the invitation. I'm currently in a hotel cafeteria in Jakarta, and the food here is terrible. So I'm planning to rush to South Korea tomorrow, get a gold medal, and have a good meal back home.

Seeing discussions online about "many people taking pride in solo-killing Faker" and how some say I'm not as good as Faker, I realized I've never been solo-killed myself. So, don't drag me into these discussions about the influence of being solo-killed.

Finally, while professional League of Legends players around the world used to take pride in solo-killing Faker, from now on, everyone will be proud to have faced off against Chu Shen.

So stop arguing. The past is the past, the present is the present, adults. Times have changed, understand?

Upon seeing Chu Ran's Weibo post, countless netizens widened their eyes and then gasped in shock.

What a loud tone!
Both the LPL and LCK regions were stunned by Chu Ran's words, and Fujii, being exceptionally perceptive, immediately instructed the publicity department to work overtime to create promotional posters for the Asian Games final.

Soon, the huge promotional poster appeared on the internet amidst a frenzy among netizens.

Chu Ran and Faker's group stood facing each other, with Chu Ran and Faker naturally in the center, and Fujii's publicity department added a very eye-catching slogan to their image.

"Will the legend continue or a new god ascend to the throne? The answer will be revealed at the top of the Asian Games!"
