LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 241 You can't even defend the jungle, yet you want to protect the Asian Games gold medal! Endure Kakashi!
The poster immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens, and the news dominated the trending topics on major forums the night before the Asian Games finals.

The official sports channel's Weibo account reposted Fujii's promotional poster and cheered on Chu Ran and others.

Go, Chu Shen! Win gold at the Asian Games!

Some said Chu Shen was going to ruin Chinese esports, but now he's about to save it!

【Give those South Koreans a good beating tomorrow, and shut up those Han bastards and their scum!】

[How can there still be people who don't support Chu Shen and his team? Are they even Chinese anymore?]

[The Law on Expelling Citizens: Apply What You've Learned!]

Tomorrow, the legend will end, and a new god will ascend the throne once more. There can only be one god in the LPL mid lane, and that god is Chu.

Lee Sang-hyeok is getting old and it's time for him to retire. Tomorrow, Chu Shen will personally organize his retirement ceremony!

Most comments in the LPL region supported Chu Ran and his team, while the opposite was true for the LCK. Many angry Korean fans and other haters went to Korean esports forums to seek psychological comfort.

Meanwhile, many Koreans in the LCK region are naturally energized, declaring that the glory of LCK will be restored tomorrow.

They spoke ill of Chu Ran and others, with the main target of their attacks being Sima Laozei, who was not without GSL's influence.

[Damn it! There's no garbage dump in the world that can pull this off? Soloing Faker is the highest honor for a mid-laner, what makes him so special? He has so many championships!]

Don't worry, Faker and his team will definitely teach this arrogant bastard a lesson tomorrow. Does he really think he can keep winning? Tomorrow will be the day he's finished!

To be honest, their bot lane was a complete weakness. It felt like their bot lane had almost no impact during the group stage and semifinals.

[Who can argue with that? I'm not a fan of anyone, just a casual observer, but judging from that guy's performance these past two days, it's almost certain he'll get crushed by Deft and Mata tomorrow.]

[If only Uzi were here, this year, with Deft and Mata as the bot lane duo, Uzi is probably the only one who can challenge them.]

At this moment, Sima Laozei glanced at the trending topic comments section, his eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips slightly, feeling a little displeased with these comments.

He immediately continued training despite the noisy environment, ignoring the heated discussions outside.

Inside the hotel training room, Meiko patted the old thief on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "Old thief, take a rest. Don't pay attention to these haters. They're the shockwave, you know?"

"I was thinking that Uzbekistan didn't have a championship either. It's Hecque who's really consistent. If he came, he could beat Goba."

"I'm off to my room to sleep and prepare for tomorrow's match."

Upon hearing Meiko's words, Sima Laozei chuckled, "You guys go to sleep first, I'll practice some more."

"Then I'll go with you."

Meiko pondered for a few seconds. After all, the bot lane was a duo, and he understood Sima Laozei's thoughts. He really wanted to prove himself at this Asian Games, just as netizens had said.

In fact, in the group stage and semi-finals, Sima Laozei's performance was slightly inferior to that of Chu Ran and the others, and was not as outstanding.

"Xiao Ran, Tian Ye can actually care about people now, it's like the sun rose in the west."

Seeing this scene, Chu Ran glanced at Ming Kai, then looked at Sima Laozei and Meiko, and then yawned, "If you're bad, you should practice more. Isn't that normal? Do you think you're like Kai-ge? You're bad and you don't practice, then you lose to Vietnam, lose to Brazil, and then you lose to 4396."

"Do you know what netizens are saying about you? Last year you just barely won a championship."

"You little brat, are you looking for a beating?" Mingkai waved his fist, feigning anger, and said, "I'll definitely let you taste my Muay Thai. And those haters, what do they know about games? Didn't I get a C last year?"

"It's only because I switched to coaching this year that I could have won a championship in the jungle position."

"No! It's four, surpassing Bengi to become a four-time world champion jungler."

Mingkai snorted and glared, saying, "It's fortunate that I'm kind-hearted and thought of making way for the younger generation. Otherwise, with me around, how would other junglers ever have a chance to rise to the top?"

Hearing this, Chu Ran paused for a moment, then quietly and slowly said, "Indeed, Brother Kai, if you still want to fight, I can help you return to your eighteen-year-old state."

"Holy crap, Xiao Ran, really?" Ming Kai was stunned for a moment. Seeing Chu Ran's serious expression, as if she really had a solution, he suddenly became a little excited.
"What method? Come on, let me teach you, Brother Kai."

"Could it be that, Xiao Ran, you have some secrets we don't know, like those protagonists in online novels, that can make people young again? Or did you practice the Tianshan Childlike Skill like Faker?"

As he spoke, Mingkai waved his hands, his face filled with longing. "If it really existed, your brother Kai would be willing to buy it with money!"

After speaking, Mingkai glanced at Chu Ran suspiciously, then clasped his hands together in the air, killing a mosquito as he slowly spoke:

"Xiao Ran, you're kidding me, right?"

"Brother Kai, you were the one who joked with me first."

"."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Chu Shen, your sudden flirtatious behavior almost broke my back."

"His dirty talk is like that little sow wearing a bra, one set after another."

Seeing Mingkai's face covered in a patchwork of colors, Mala Xiangguo and Flandre almost burst out laughing with tears in their eyes.

Just a moment later, Mala Xiangguo hurriedly clutched his stomach and said anxiously, "I laughed so hard my stomach hurts! Chu Shen, you said such lewd things, but you're not allowed to say them again."

"You probably ate beef noodles, didn't you?"

Seeing how hurriedly the spicy hot pot was prepared, Mingkai couldn't help but complain, and then reminded everyone, "Don't eat anything random at night, especially you, Mieko!"

"What kind of game are you playing? If you're playing Lulu, why don't you go forward? What are you doing standing behind the AD carry? I'm a jungler and I can play support better than you."

Mingkai smacked Meiko on the head, making Meiko mutter, but as he muttered, Mingkai's nagging continued to echo.

"You fucking turn him into a sheep! If it were Grandma, she would have killed them all this time."

"You idiot, you should retire and go sell vegetables. Others get rich selling meat floss cakes, you can make a fortune selling vegetables."

"Damn it! Kai, you got choked by Ran, can you stop taking it out on me?" Meiko cursed. "Kai, do you even know what the 'kicking the cat effect' means?"

"You can tell from your uneducated nature that you don't understand. Let me give you an example. You're angry with Ran-ge, but you don't dare to vent your anger on him, so you choose to take it out on me. That will make me uncomfortable too."

“When I’m not feeling well, my training isn’t effective. When my training isn’t effective, my performance suffers. When I’m in poor condition, I might lose the final tomorrow and lose the Asian Games gold medal. And all of this is because you vented your anger on me, Kai Ge.”

Meiko launched into a long speech, then turned to look at Mingkai's bewildered expression. Meiko waved her hand and said, "It's obvious you didn't understand. I always tell you to study, but you insist on raising pigs."

"Just play a 6!"

"Tianye has truly mastered the essence of Chu Shen's teachings."

It took Mingkai a while to realize what was happening, and then he started cursing even more fiercely.

Amidst a joyful atmosphere, the night passed quietly.

The following day, at 2 p.m., the huge stadium was already packed with spectators, most of whom were holding Chinese flags and support signs with the players' IDs.

The stadium was packed with people. The official final had not yet started, but cheers were already rising and falling, the sound waves like a raging flood, as if trying to overturn the entire stadium center.

"Go China! Go Chu Shen!"

"Beat up those Korean bastards!"

On the other side, Faker fans from all over the world and Korean fans responded in unison upon hearing this.

"Faker! Lee Sang-hyeok is the best in the world!"

"You can always trust Lee Sang-hyeok. He's back to number one in the world, and that day is here!"

The two teams were locked in fierce competition even before the match started, while Uzi sat in the audience, observing everything with a detached eye.

"I've already edited the Weibo post, but if Ran loses, I'll start settling accounts right away!"

"The question is, will he lose? He hasn't lost a single day so far."

The evil god Aomimi asked with doubt. Although she disliked Chu Ran, she couldn't deny his strength, and the other contestants were not weaklings either.

This year's MSI, with the Rift Rivals setting a high bar.

Many people want to see Chu Ran lose, but no one has seen it even once in all this time.

"I don't believe anyone can win all the time. The LCK's lineup for the Asian Games is like a super team. Even if I play, I have to be careful. If the LCK performs well, they have a chance to win."

Uzi snorted coldly, a disdainful smile appearing on his lips as he looked at the crowd cheering for Chu Ran and his team.

You are arrogant now, but your fate is uncertain in the future.

If Chu Ran were to lose, Uzi wouldn't even dare to imagine how intense the backlash would be.

At that point, Chu Ran might be forced to apologize, or even be forced to retire.

Thinking of this, Uzi chuckled a few times and fell into a daze.

At the same time, hordes of netizens flooded into the live streaming rooms of major domestic platforms.

Professional players and retired streamers from all sides started providing commentary on the match.

The barrage of comments scrolled through the live stream like a bustling traffic jam.

Amidst the overwhelming support in the comments, occasional pessimistic remarks would slip in, but these were quickly dismissed by some netizens.

This infuriated the GSL and Tadpole-like troll groups, who could only lurk in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.

Amidst the heated discussions, the finals of the League of Legends esports tournament suddenly commenced.

An Indonesian host came to the competition area and introduced the professional honors and peak moments of the players from both sides.

Then, amidst shouts, each player's ID was called out.

On the big screen, a promotional video showcasing the preparations for the Asian Games finals was also played simultaneously.

Khan: If the opposing team had three Chinese players, I think I could forfeit today, but since they have five, we will definitely win today.

Peanut: I will help my country protect this Asian Games gold medal!

Faker: I have stood at the top of the mountain and fallen to the bottom of the valley, but this time, I will help our country's League of Legends stand at the top of the world again, and I will take myself with me.

Deft: Our opponents are strong, but we never fight the weak.

Mata: Who among those who lost to us wasn't a strong player? We've got this Asian Games gold medal in our grasp.

After the Korean team's promotional video ended, the Korean fans in China and the Korean fans in the LCK became extremely excited, as if they had taken some kind of drug!

[Oh! This is Faker! This is the confidence of the LCK region. The mercenary region is simply in chaos.]

Can five Chinese players win the championship? It's highly unlikely!

The Chinese national football team won the World Championship! Five Chinese players couldn't win the S-series title!

[Let's show them the might of the Republic of Korea! This weak region dares to spout nonsense in front of the number one region! They deserve a beating!]

[Faker, charge in! Smash them like a spinning top! Smash them relentlessly!]

The South Korean team's promotional video immediately sparked widespread discussion after it ended.

Many netizens in China were furious, and amidst their angry outbursts, Chu Ran and others appeared on the big screen.

Flandre: Today I will leave an indelible mark on the career of the opposing top laner.

Mlxg: All I can say is that the opposing jungler couldn't even defend his own jungle, let alone win a gold medal.

Easy: You may not have fallen to the bottom, but to an abyss. Your so-called peak is just what you think it is. There is an old Chinese saying: There is always a higher level than the sky, and there is always someone better than you. I'm giving this to Faker on the other side!

Smlz: I will prove myself in this Asian Games, and I will let the people of the whole country know me today!

Meiko: The champion AD player who was once Mata's support said that I am a little bit better than Mata, so I think we will make new history!
In an instant, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room widened their eyes, and then burst into thunderous applause and screams.

Of course, there was also a lot of laughter, and countless viewers were amused by Mala Xiangguo's words.

[Haha, Xiangguo is so aggressive! I'm jealous of his talent!]

[You can't even protect your own jungle, yet you want to protect the Asian Games gold medal? You deserve to be included in the annals of literature!]

[Chu Shen's aggressiveness is off the charts; when it comes to trash talk, EDG is the place to be!]

[This is ridiculous! The Asian Games promotional video doesn't even watch its language; it's embarrassing them internationally!]

[Ah, right, right, your Korean daddy is so confident and ambitious, and Chu Shen and the others are just a disgrace, right? Here's a piece of advice for you Korean sycophants and haters—"Son, call me dad!"]

[Haha, so you're Chu Shen's personal disciple? Such high aggression!]

Amidst the heated discussion, the big screen showed the commentary booths of both teams.

Three familiar faces came into view from the commentary booth.

"Alright! Hello everyone, both at the venue and in the live stream! Welcome to the League of Legends esports finals at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games!"

"Today we will be featuring a match between the Chinese and South Korean teams. Who is truly the top team in Asia? Today we will find out! I am your commentator, Guan Zeyuan!"

"I'm Miller!"

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Qianyuan."

After a brief opening, Guan Zeyuan and the other two quickly got down to business.

"Today's match can truly be described as a fierce battle. The performances of the two teams in the past two days have been thrilling, and it is still uncertain who will emerge victorious today."

Guan Zeyuan smiled and said first: "However, I am definitely more optimistic about our Chinese team. After all, the Chinese team's mid laner, Chu Ran, has never lost since he debuted in the LPL."

"That's right, but Lee Sang-hyeok from the Korean team is renowned. Although he suffered a crushing defeat against Chu Ran in the recent Intercontinental Tournament, that was just one match with too many uncertainties."

"Yes, Miller's opinion is also the opinion of many netizens."

Wang Duoduo nodded, "Then without further ado, please give a warm round of applause to the first match between the two sides, and let us all look forward to our Chinese team winning the first Asian Games gold medal in the history of Chinese e-sports!"

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene and in the live broadcast room became incredibly noisy once again.

The match was being discussed in various chat groups, and internet cafes across the country were packed.

According to the recollections of the internet cafe owners, during their time running the internet cafe...

There were three truly sensational moments, two of which were winning the championship at the Bird's Nest and the Asian Games final.

On this special day, everyone who knows or has heard of League of Legends has focused their attention on Chu Ran and his team.

Amidst endless cheers, the first match's ban/pick phase officially began at the competition venue.

In the first match, the Chinese team was on the blue side, and the South Korean team was on the red side.

"There's no need to target the enemy top laner. We ban Kai'Sa, then Galio, then Sion, preventing Faker from picking a utility mid laner and forcing him to lane against Xiaoran. Then we first pick Rakan or Xayah, and dismantle Xayah and Rakan, how about that?"

Mingkai glanced at his notebook and asked Chu Ran and the others for their opinions!
"No problem, let's do it this way. If some T0 champions aren't banned, it's like everyone can pick them."

After Flandre finished speaking, Kkoma glanced at his notebook on the KOR Korean team's side.

"We need to focus on the enemy's bottom lane. If we can shut down the enemy's bottom lane and stabilize the other two lanes, our chances of winning will be very high."

"Sima Laozei's Jhin is a specialty. If you also ban Ashe or Varus, don't let him play utility champions. Wanghu, you can just target their bot lane."

"I think that's a good idea. I'll pick a Captain and a Sword Demon this time, and I'll take them down."

Khan chewed his gum, his hands clasped together and kneading it repeatedly, full of confidence.

Soon, the first three draft picks for both sides were decided.

CHN: Kai'Sa, Galio, Sion.

KOR: Ashe, Jhin, Ezreal.

"Oh my god! The Korean team put pressure on the Chinese team right from the start, banning three AD carries. That's like showing their hand. I'm telling you, I'm going to target the bot lane this game. What did the Chinese team say?"

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed, "We can't first pick Rakan now! If you go solo with Rakan, you won't be able to get Xayah, and with other ADCs, the pressure will be immense if the enemy team is playing their bot lane with their cards on the table."

"Yes, if you pick Xayah, there's no Rakan as a support in this version, so Xayah is quite difficult to lane with. But you can still pick her. However, I think the best choice is the Tahm Kench and Varus combo, but that would be like feeding the enemy Xayah and Rakan combo."

Miller stroked his chin and began to analyze.

Seeing the opponent's draft picks like this, Mingkai also seemed to be in a dilemma.

"Varustamin? Just hold your ground in the bot lane. If you play well, you can even gain lane priority in the early game."

"The pressure on Deft and Mata's Xayah and Rakan combination is too great." Sima Laozei slowly said, "Take Rakan, I'll take Twitch, I want to carry this game."

Upon hearing Sima Laozei's words, Mingkai was stunned for a moment, but ultimately heeded his advice and helped the team take down Luo.

"Oh, the Chinese team still chose Rakan. As for the Korean team, Xayah was picked first, and then Aatrox, the Darkin Blademaster, was picked. Here comes Khan Kim Dong-ha, whom we know well, who is now known as the number one Aatrox player in Korea."

"So what will the Chinese team bring? Urgot, the Dreadnought, and Twitch, the Plague Rat."

Upon seeing this, Guan Zeyuan and the other two widened their eyes in disbelief.

The opposing team already knows they're going for the bot lane, so why would they pick Twitch?

"This Twitch pick is a bit unexpected, but there really weren't any better marksman heroes to choose from."

Wang Duoduo added a comment, but when everyone saw SKT pick Nautilus as their third pick, their expressions changed drastically.

"With Nautilus and Xayah, the Korean team's bot lane aggression has reached its peak in this game!"

Miller sighed, which made countless South Koreans extremely excited.

In the Korean commentary booth, the "Roaring Emperor" and his teammates excitedly shouted, "Nice! We need to create an opening in their bottom lane, then target their jungler, prevent Spicy Pot from playing strong jungle champions, and finally give the counter pick to Faker!"

"I think we've already won this game!"

"That's right! Although Easy is very strong, the game League of Legends is governed by the barrel theory; how much water it can hold depends entirely on the shortest plank!"

At this moment, in the arena, Kkoma couldn't help but smile.

In the second round of the draft, Mingkai and others targeted Peanut, blocking the two strong junglers in the current version, Lee Sin and Camille.

The Korean team also banned junglers; after banning Gragas and Trundle, they immediately brought out one of Peanut's signature champions, Kindred.

"As expected, Kindred is here. It's going to be very difficult for Kim Hyuk-kyu to kill Xayah in this game!"

"Currently, the Chinese team doesn't have a hero that can counter Xayah. We must give Chu Ran a hero who can step up!"

"You helped Liu Shiyu secure the prince, adding a front-line tank and initiator. What does player Chu Ran say?"

"Xiao Ran, what do you mean?"

On the field, Mingkai was asking Churan for his opinion, "Let's get an assassin. If Xayah gets going, we can just kill her instantly. I trust you."

"So you really think I'm a god? Xayah's ultimate and Kindred's ultimate, how can you kill them instantly?"

Mingkai hesitated for a few seconds, then spoke directly: "Isn't that right?"

"6!"

"Kai is right!"

"Although your flattery is terrible, I like it, so I have to pull out my best trick."

"What other amazing skills do you have that I don't know about?"

"Get me Akali!"

? ? ? ?
In an instant, countless question marks appeared above Mingkai and the others' heads.

It's late August now, and Akali was reworked in mid-August, less than half a month ago. However, the Asian Games are using the latest version, so Akali is naturally making an appearance.

However, the reworked Akali is completely different from the previous version.

Chu Ran had played it before, but to think that half a month was enough to become a master skill, or at least a secret weapon, was still a secret.

What are you doing, pressing down on me?

In such a short time, a large number of professional players still haven't figured out how to play Akali.

"You'll learn it after watching, and you'll be a pro after playing it. Do I need to practice any heroes?"

Chu Ran laughed. Although he didn't have a special entry for Akali.

But with his mastery of all heroes and the RBQ of the assassin, Akali's signature moves are no problem at all.

Mingkai and the others were stumped by Chu Ran's question.

That seems to be the case.

Just believe it and that’s it.

The next second, the moment Akali was selected, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room were all stunned.

Kkoma flipped through the notebook, and his scalp tingled again.

The notebook clearly records that Chu Ran used the triple-Ru Akali build in Rank, but the results were mediocre.

They dare to go straight to the Asian Games finals?

Does this mean that the win rate in Rank is just a facade?

Xiba!

Kkoma gritted his teeth, truly caught off guard by Chu Ran's Akali move.

"That's normal. Xiao Ran is like that. Until the final hero selection, no one knows how many special skills he has. Just assume that all of his heroes are special skills."

Upon hearing Deft's words, Mata scoffed, "I don't believe it. A person's energy is limited. To be proficient in so many heroes, unless he's not human, Sang-hyeok would have easily defeated him."

"His Akali is useless this game. I will trap him in the mid lane. You guys go to the jungle and look for opportunities."

Faker adjusted his glasses and then announced his choice.

At the same time, a deafening sound came from the Chinese commentary booth.

"My God! Akali, the Rogue Assassin! That's so unexpected! Akali was only recently reworked, and we thought Chu Ran wouldn't pick her, but he pulled her out so decisively!"

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in surprise, but then his voice softened, "Oh no! Lee Sang-hyeok has picked Lissandra, the Ice Witch, and he's completely countering Chu Ran's Akali!"

“Yes.” Miller nodded in agreement with a frown: “Lee Sang-hyeok is thinking that I won’t play Akali in lane, but will play Lissandra in team fights.”

"Then, with Kindred and Xayah's ultimate abilities combined, this Xayah is practically invincible."

Wang Duoduo immediately nodded and said, "That's right. If Kim Hyuk-kyu from the Korean team gets ahead in this game, even if Chu Ran is playing Akali, it will be very difficult to deal with him!"

Amidst the heated discussion, the lineups of both sides were immediately revealed after being swapped.

CHN (Blue Side): Top lane Urgot, Jungle Jarvan IV, Mid lane Akali, Bot lane Twitch/Rakan.

KOR Red Side: Top - Aatrox, Jungle - Kindred, Mid - Lissandra, Bot - Xayah & Nautilus.

The moment he saw this lineup, KOR's son started howling as if he had been given antibiotics.

[666! I don't know how Faker's team could lose with this lineup!]

[But isn't Akali completely useless now? Three ultimates in a team fight could kill her. Tell me, who can Akali one-shot?!]

[Haha, Aatrox has a resurrection ability, and Lissandra and Kindred have life-saving ultimates throughout the game, so all they need to do is one-shot Nautilus.]

[That guy is really confident. He dared to pick Akali with this lineup. I admire his courage. How many Liang Jingru do he eat a day?]

Seeing this lineup, many viewers who support China also started to curse and complain.

[Mingkai, you can just stick to being a manager. Seriously, this guy can pick an assassin? Who's he going to kill in a second? He'll probably kill a Titan in a second, huh?]

[Easy is incredibly arrogant and has really ruined his reputation among casual players. Why didn't he just pick a team-oriented mid laner? He could have just trusted Twitch.]

[However, the beast says: I'd rather lose a game that isn't my team's lead!]

With Uzi around, you absolutely have to suck in every single game; the only one slightly better than Uzi is that he's never lost.

[The situation is chaotic. Is the mid laner just going to build Xiaohu's three core items and play passively instead of carrying?]

[Xiaohu's Mid-Lane Rule: Play one game, get carried one game, feed one game, and the cycle of playing one game and being carried never ends.]

Nobody knows how to play mid lane better than me! —On Xiaohu

To be honest, I think Doinb is even less of a player than Xiaohu.

On the other side, seeing these comments, inside the RNG club, Xiaohu silently punched Uzi again, his face somewhat gloomy.

"Are these haters ever going to stop? Where have I ever stood? How many mid laners in the LPL can beat me?"

"It's all Ran's fault! If he hadn't brought up the Little Tiger Three-Piece Set first, I wouldn't be being slandered like this now. Damn it, next time I run into Ran, I'll definitely crush him."

Little Tiger was furious.

Originally, most of the haters should have been criticizing Uzi, but now the number of netizens criticizing him and Uzi is evenly split.

He really screwed Uzi.

At the same time, Doinb was also a little angry, and the Mayan civilization suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.

"Maya! I've actually said something like this. Do you haters even understand the game? Do you have any game knowledge at all?"

"Who told you that mid laners have to gain an advantage in lane? The core purpose of a mid laner is to push the lane and roam, understand? Damn, there are too many Bronze and Silver players in the live stream."

Doinb became sarcastic and then said, "In terms of lineup alone, I would say objectively that the Korean team has a huge advantage. Once Sima Laozei becomes the breakthrough point, the Chinese team will have a hard time."

"Damn, I'm not being objective, but I'll just say this: almost no LPL player has a more objective attitude towards today's Asian Games finals than I do."

"Come on, guys, let's sign up for a membership and enter the lucky draw for the sake of the streamer's objectivity."

Doinb's words resonated with countless KOR fans, leading to a flurry of comments, including some suggesting that the Korean team should speedrun Chu Ran's game.

"Alright! Let's not waste any more time. The 'bubble' lineup is a bit of a counter, but we have faith in the five players on the Chinese team!"

As Guan Zeyuan's resounding voice rang out, Summoner's Rift unfolded on the big screen.

"Oh! The Korean team is trying to use the strength of Titan to invade the Chinese team's lower jungle at level one. In that case, it seems the Chinese team has no choice but to give up."

Miller sighed, "The Korean team's goal is to exchange jungle camps with you, thereby ensuring that the Chinese team cannot help the bottom lane in the early game, while Kindred can continuously put pressure on the Chinese team's bottom lane."

"Yes, the Deepsea Titan held up its giant anchor in front of the team, and the Chinese team had no choice but to retreat because they didn't want to exchange jungle camps."

Wang Duoduo shook his head and said bitterly, "Then the Chinese team's bottom lane will have a very difficult start."

At that moment, Peanut's lips curled up. "I can't defend my jungle? I think it's him who can't defend it. Isn't he going to expose himself? Show me how he exposes himself."

"Press the bottom lane at level one, let's see if we can find an opportunity later."

"Sang-hyeok hyung, I won't be paying much attention to the mid lane this game. And Dong-ha hyung, be careful in the top lane."

"You can rest assured. If you said this top laner was Easy, then I would be a little scared. Flandre? Heh, I was just careless at MSI."

"Don't underestimate them, be careful. I'll help you gank in the mid lane."

Faker slowly began to speak, saying that although Lissandra's early game damage was quite low and she couldn't push the lane, Akali was just as bad in the early game.

At 1 minute and 35 seconds, the minions converged in the middle lane.

Chu Ran looked at Faker's Lissandra and immediately pressed forward.

He wanted Faker to give him a Q, so that his own blue minions would attack Faker, and he could use Akali's Q skill to consume the minion wave.

Akali's Q skill is completely different from before after the rework.

Akali's Q skill used to throw a kunai that applied a mark, but now it still throws a fan-shaped AOE attack forward.

In this way, although he loses some health, he can get to level 2 first.

However, there is a downside: the minion wave will move over, and Faker has clearly seen through Chu Ran's plan.

But he still directly gave Chu Ran a Q!

Ice shards!

Several ice spikes pierced through the minion wave and touched Chu Ran Akali's skin, causing damage to appear instantly.

A slight smile appeared on Faker's lips.

Chu Ran wanted to get a level 2 advantage, but he wasn't flustered. After getting Akali to level 2, Chu Ran would simply learn the "Tension Dance" skill and then unleash a combo.

But Faker was absolutely confident that Chu Ran's Akali would only have a chance to touch him if she started with E1.

However, Akali's E skill has an alarmingly low hit rate at the start.

"You don't actually think you're better than me just because you beat my Kassadin with a small fish in the Intercontinental Cup, do you?"

“I, Lee Sang-hyeok, am no less than anyone else.”

Faker's eyes narrowed as he watched Chu Ran use QA on three melee minions, but he remained unmoved.

This causes the minion wave to move towards him, and then the minion wave is blocked, which is actually a bit difficult for Akali.

Guan Zeyuan and the others had also seen through the power struggle between the two in the early stages.

"Wow! One of the mid laners is trying to reach level 2 first, while the other is trying to control the lane. In that case, we'll have to see if Chu Ran can seize the opportunity to unleash a combo on Lee Sang-hyeok's Lissandra after reaching level 2 first," Miller exclaimed.

"It seems a bit difficult. It's too hard for you to encounter Lissandra. Akali's ultimate technique, Kunai, only has a range of 500 yards. Lee Sang-hyeok has been kept outside the 500-yard range, making it impossible for Chu Ran to hit him at the maximum range."

Guan Zeyuan pursed his lips. "Moreover, the bottom lane of the Chinese team is in a very difficult position because Kindred is right behind them, which makes them afraid to push the lane and get level 2 first to exert pressure. If they get flashed and passively imprisoned by Nautilus, they may risk giving away points."

"Yes, that's right. The Korean team's bot lane duo started controlling the lane right away, and even seemed to be giving up the lane, trying to harass Han Jin. Han Jin can't fall for it, he can't give Xayah any space!"

Wang Duoduo had just finished speaking when he saw Sima Laozei's rat suddenly get hit by Deft's Q.

Before Meiko could stop him, she cried out, "Old thief, don't go up there!"

broken!

Sima Laozei's pupils dilated. His handling of minion waves during the laning phase has always been his weakness, but he has improved a lot through systematic training.

Unexpectedly, another mistake was made.

He was hit by Deft's Q, which caused the blue team's minions to attack him. Deft and Mata even took the initiative to retreat so that the two of them would not attract the minions' aggro.

The lane has already been cleared, and soon they will be exposed to Peanut's ganking opportunities.

"The enemy AD is terrible," Mata said casually, chewing his gum.

"Wanghu, we can come to the bottom lane later. I feel like we have a chance."

"OK."

Peanut responded to Mata.

At this moment, Sima Laozei looked somewhat embarrassed, and Meiko quickly said, "Just push it and see if you can get it in. There's no other way."

Now that things have come to this, all we can do is maintain vision control and keep pushing, while being wary of Mata Titan's initiative.

"My God! The Chinese team's bot lane is in a bad situation. Kim Hyuk-kyu has chipped away at Han Kim's health, which could cause the entire bot lane to collapse!"

Guan Zeyuan looked very nervous, but at that moment, the director turned the camera to the middle lane.

"However, Chu Ran's Akali has already reached level 2. What do you think? Is there any chance for him to counter Lee Sang-hyeok's combo?"

"This is too difficult. Lee Sang-hyeok is not giving us any chance at all." Miller couldn't help but shake his head.

At this moment, Faker appeared relaxed, as long as he kept his distance from Chu Ran.
Before he could finish talking to himself, Chu Ran suddenly rushed up.

A huge cloud of smoke appeared before his eyes.

A shower of clouds!

Faker's pupils contracted sharply, as if he had realized something, and he quickly stepped back, but he was still a step too slow.

The speed boost provided by the shroud was triggered instantly, and then she slightly turned her head within the shroud to dodge Faker Lissandra's scattered ice spikes, preventing him from slowing her down.

The next second, Akali raised her hand to gather her strength, and several kunai were released towards Faker's feet!
boom!
Hitting Faker at the extreme distance resulted in visible damage.

At the same time, Lissandra slows down the enemy, and then Lissandra activates Akali's passive, Ninja Art: Hidden Dragon Seal's energy field.

When Akali hits an enemy with her abilities, a 350 energy field is generated around the enemy.

Akali gains increased damage and her attack range increases to 300 after stepping out of the energy field.

He moved to the side, and then Chu Ran immediately raised his hand and followed up with a basic attack.

This made Faker's face darken, and he cursed inwardly.

Chu Ran accelerated his deceleration, and the energy field could remain for 4 seconds, while Akali's passive had no cooldown.

This means that as long as Chu Ran keeps moving and triggering his passive ability, his early-game damage will be ridiculously high.

As expected, Chu Ran attacked again, and with the Electrocute triggered, Lissandra's health dropped visibly.

With a 1.5-second cooldown, Q was used on Faker again, slowing him down and triggering the energy field once more.

Seeing this, Faker felt a chill run down his spine. He downed his first health potion and was filled with regret.

He hadn't expected Chu Ran to play like this at level 2, and his Akali proficiency was frighteningly high.

"Wow! Mid lane! Chu Ran's Akali is chasing and beating up Lee Sang-hyeok's Lissandra! What happened?!"

"Why did the situation, which we thought Akali couldn't whittle down Lissandra after reaching level 2, suddenly reverse in an instant?!"

Miller and the others didn't see the details clearly at all; they only saw Faker's health dropping rapidly, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

A few seconds later, Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness! I'm about to be struck by lightning! Lee Sang-hyeok!"

At that very moment, with a whoosh, golden light appeared on Lissandra's body.

Then, a special effect of returning to town appeared.

With continuous flashing and B-mode, the pressure is at its maximum.

At this moment, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room looked at each other in astonishment, their jaws dropping in surprise!
Wasn't it Lissandra Conte Akali?
Why are they already using two recruitment methods when the competition has only just begun?

In an instant, a torrent of heated discussion quietly emerged at the scene and in the live broadcast room, and quickly spread!
