LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 257 Forgiving him is the job of the King of Hell, while my task is to send him to hell!
Many GSLs were furious upon seeing Chu Ran's Weibo post.

They pounced on them like mad dogs, their barking unprecedented in history.

I pointed my sword at you, you son of a bitch, but you've pointed it at your ass.

[Hey, you're not afraid of the puppy, are you? So you're resorting to personal attacks, are you?]

[This puppy will definitely win this year, and he'll do it by stepping on your head, you beast.]

Of course, while the barking of dogs is loud and powerful, there are also quite a few dog-catching teams on the internet these days.

[It's begun! Void takes the championship! Void becomes the eight-time champion!]

I don't know what's so great about playing Kai'Sa, it's just ridiculous.

[That's how the hype works; they start bragging after just one win.]

[Hilarious! Ran, the filial son, is still stubbornly insisting that Kai'Sa isn't the AD carry most reliant on fundamentals? I figured if Uzi plays Kai'Sa well, he can't be bad at other AD carries either. Does Ran, the filial son, even understand?]

[You guys keep bringing up the championship, but tell me, wasn't Uzi strong in this BO3?]

In an instant, the entire LPL was engulfed in a noisy discussion.

Uzi, who was initially overjoyed after posting on Weibo, suddenly turned gloomy the moment he saw Chu Ran's Weibo update.

"That kind of person is really ridiculous. If I win, he says I'm bragging; if I lose, he says I'm bad. Whatever he says, he's right, isn't he?"

Inside the RNG club, Uzi was angrily cursing, causing the temperature in the training room to rise continuously.

"And this bunch of idiot haters, I didn't know that a hybrid team like EDG would actually have fans."

Uzi sneered, "Those who support EDG are probably all from families where everyone is dead. They don't deserve to be Chinese."

"Uzi, watch out!"

Manager San Shao was taken aback when he heard this. GSL said it was okay, but Uzi couldn't say it himself.

"What do I need to be careful about?" Uzi said impatiently. "What are these haters if not idiots? All they do is talk about championships all day long."

"I'm thinking, isn't a runner-up a great honor? Two runner-up finishes are definitely more than one gold medal, right?"

“They just keep criticizing me online. This group of people just wants to see me retire, and for Chinese esports to be finished. That would make them feel good.”

Seeing a highly-rated comment on his phone screen, Uzi was so angry that he trembled all over, wishing he could kill someone through Flash.

GSL: You guys are so funny to criticize Puppy all day long, is that fun?

Some netizens asked GSL how everyone criticizes the bathing dog.

GSL: They recounted what the puppy had done.

[Hahaha, classic! Joyful!]

Fair! Correct! Objective! Incisive!

Why bother with these haters? Anyone who has watched your matches wouldn't criticize you.

Manager San Shao felt a pang of embarrassment, then said, "Look, aren't there a lot of fans praising you? Someone even made a highlight reel just for you."

The next second, the Third Young Master sent the link to their club's group chat.

Upon clicking, I found that some purebred GSL player had edited together about ten minutes of Uzi's gameplay clips, accompanied by the caption: "Enjoy the visual feast brought to you by the world's number one ADC!"

This video was released just after RNG finished their semi-final match today.

As of now, it has already garnered over 40 views in just a few hours.

The video's comment section was also dominated by GSL, with countless words of praise pouring in.

Seeing this, Uzi finally felt a little better.

There are always people in the LPL who understand the game, and they naturally know just how strong Jian Zihao really is.

After watching the entire highlight reel, Uzi immediately switched to his smurf account and donated several hundred yuan to the video blogger.

It makes him happy, so he deserves a reward!
Xiao Hu and the others were all somewhat dumbfounded.

"Uz, this person who makes the video is a true fan of yours."

“Absolutely.” Uzi said with a smile, “With my skill, if it weren’t for some people who only care about winning championships, my fans would drown Ran Chu with their spittle.”

Just as Uzi finished speaking confidently, Zita suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Holy crap! You guys are watching this author's latest video submission?"

Upon hearing this, Uzi's eyes lit up, thinking that the video blogger had released another compilation of his highlights.

After all, a mere ten minutes or so is not enough to cover Uzi's entire professional career.

His amazing performances would take several hours to fully capture.

Suddenly, Uzi heard Xiaohu and the others gasp in shock, which sent chills down his spine.

He immediately clicked on the video blogger's homepage.

Sure enough, the latest video appeared right in front of him.

But the title of that video made Uzi gasp for breath instantly, and his eyes turned bloodshot!

—"The food is ready, want to enjoy the world's first shockwave-like cooking technique!"

"Fuck your mother! What's this content creator's background? Is he crazy?"

Uzi hasn't watched the video yet; he just glanced at the duration.

This compilation of hilarious moments is much longer than the exciting part we just watched.

It lasted for more than half an hour.

"Idiot! Idiot!"

Uzi was so angry that he scratched his head and thought it was a dog fanboy, but it turned out to be a dog hater.

He frantically clicked the report button, then checked where the refund button was.

He just wants to get back the several hundred yuan he spent on charging.

Many GSL users who had just started following this content creator were immediately dumbfounded.

The rapid change caught them off guard, and the video comment section was flooded with messages in no time.

This action made the other people having a good time laughing so hard they forgot themselves.

[Haha, great job! Turns out they were allies!]

[In the cryptography contest, the knife was drawn too quickly. Let's give Up a proper burial in GSL attire.]

[RNM! Refund!]

[I can't believe it, they lured GSL in and then slaughtered them, huh?]

Wow, that bath dog is so fast at bringing warmth! No wonder he's called the Sun God. Even the speed of light reaching the ground can't keep up with his speed in bringing warmth to the other side!

So, being number one in the world means being number one at feeding kills, huh? Hahaha.

"grass!"

Upon seeing these comments, Uzi once again flung his phone away and punched Xiaoming hard in the thigh.

Uzi even suspected that the content creator had been bribed by Chu Ran to deliberately annoy him.

"You beast!"

"I'll make sure you die!"

He couldn't wait any longer, he couldn't wait for the finals to arrive, then he would show everyone in the LPL what it meant to be "respected after three days' absence"!

Although he had lost to Chu Ran many times, Uzi felt that he would definitely win this time.

Many GSL players share this sentiment and eagerly await the finals.

Among them, "Chicken Giblets Mom" ​​also joined the battle one after another. The finals have not yet started, but the forums are in an uproar. Even on Weibo, RNG has an absolute advantage and a large lead in support.

Regarding this YouTuber's transformation, not only Uzi suspected that Chu Ran was behind it, but Meiko and the others also felt the same way.

After all, Chu Ran had done far too many bad things.

Inside the hotel where EDG was staying, Chu Ran delivered a devastating blow to Meiko's head.

"The fact that I need to use these methods shows that Bath Dog is hated by both heaven and man, and too many people loathe him."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Hearing Chu Ran's words, Meiko clicked her tongue and said, "Brother Ran, judging from your expression, you also hate Uzi to the core."

"No, I don't hate him, I just want to see him die."

hiss!
Meiko and the others all shivered.

It's because Uzi made you a substitute and kicked you out of the club back then that you want others to die.

You say this isn't hate?
Scout, who was playing ranked games in the training room, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he heard this.

He offended Chu Ran quite badly. Will he end up like Uzi in the future?

"Exactly, exactly. I just want to see Uzi die. We in the LPL can't tolerate someone with such a high temperature."

Spicy Hot Pot gritted his teeth and chimed in, "As for what netizens say about him being young before but becoming more mature now, telling us to be more magnanimous and forgive him, that's utter nonsense, don't you think, God Chu?"

Chu Ran was taken aback: "According to the customs of us Chinese, pardoning him is what the King of Hell should do, and my task is to send him to hell!"

"Hahaha, it has to be God Chu!" Mala Xiangguo was very happy. Seeing the overwhelming popularity, he quickly posted a Weibo.

The Weibo post contained no other content, only a picture.

It's a short, red-hot character, and the picture is accompanied by several eye-catching words: "The more you aim for the top, the more mature you become. When you aim for S12, you'll be fully mature."

Mala Xiangguo's Weibo post immediately caused the already heated discussion to explode again, with many GSLs frantically bombarding his Weibo account.

He didn't let anything related to EDG slip by.

Private messages were leaked, citizenship was revoked, and even the content creator who suddenly switched sides was directly exposed.

This is GSL.

After Chu Ran took a short break and started broadcasting again, his live stream was flooded with countless viewers.

Chicken said Chu Ran owes IG a championship, and like a mother, said Chu Ran stole their junior's championship life.

As for GSL, he was hurling insults at Chu Ran's family tree and vowed to beat Chu Ran into calling him "daddy" in the finals.

Chu Ran didn't tolerate these remarks and immediately criticized them back.

"Does IG need me to owe them a championship? I don't think IG has ever won one."

"Stop coming here to act crazy. We're already eliminated. If you really can't handle it, go order some food. You don't need to order anything else, just bring up your IG's highlight reels."

"Do you moms really feel sorry for your juniors?"

At this point, Chu Ran roared in front of countless viewers, "Li Ruican! Do you think water will magically fly into my cup?"

Scout was completely stunned when Chu Ran said those words, but then his face turned bright red.

He wanted to refuse, but suddenly, Mingkai whispered in his ear, "If you don't go get the water, you might not be able to go to the World Championship. You won't even be qualified as a substitute."

Xiba!

Scout was inwardly furious, and despite his reluctance, he could only put on a long face and fetch water for Chu Ran.

After all, he still wanted to make an appearance at the World Championships, but he didn't last year, which resulted in his popularity being almost zero.

While it's uncertain whether going to the World Championship will guarantee a spot on the field, if you can't even make it to the World Championship, then you definitely won't be able to play.

"Hey, that's right. Next time, don't make me call you. If you see my water glass is empty, just do it for me."

Scout was so angry he gritted his teeth, and at the same time, the chat in Chu Ran's live stream exploded.

[You beast! You will die tonight!!]

[Do you have a knife? Give me one. I have depression, and I know the Depression Knife Technique. I'll go and kill that beast right now!]

[Why hasn't this beast been banned yet? How dare he! How dare he treat a junior like that!]

[Hahaha, the bully of the esports world!]

[That feels good, Scout should be bullied mercilessly! Korean fans, stop yelling, didn't you like LCK? What, now you don't like LCK's bullying culture? Double standards.]

"I was just joking with Scout, don't overthink it."

Amidst the commotion, Chu Ran looked at Scout and smiled as he spoke, and Scout also forced a smile and replied, "Yes, yes."

Smiling on the outside, cursing under their breath.

Scout's behavior truly broke down the defenses of the students' mothers, causing them to become hysterical, as if Scout's actions had crossed their bottom line.

As for GSL, who was mocking, they were immediately met with a barrage of insults from Chu Ran.

"What? The world's number one ADC? How dare you guys in GSL brag like that? The uncrowned king?"

"You've been in the industry for so many years and haven't won a single championship? How dare you? You guys are better at blowing your hair than a hairdryer."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present."

"To be honest, last year's Ardent Censer patch was the year you guys said had the best chance for ADCs in the world, but he just couldn't seize the opportunity."

"Is it useful to practice Xayah after losing a match?"

"It's fine to fool netizens, but don't fool your brothers."

"Does he really think that drinking some milk, taking a bath, and wearing pink headphones makes him the world's best ADC? If that's the case, I think I could do it too."

As soon as Chu Ran finished speaking, a cartoon character of a child sitting in a bathtub, sucking on a pacifier, and wearing pink headphones appeared in the lower right corner of his live stream.

"Do you guys think I have the potential to become the world's best ADC?"

puff!

In an instant, Ming Kai and the others next to Chu Ran burst into laughter.

Chu Ran's live stream room instantly exploded!

[You son of a bitch! You beast! I'm a son of a bitch!]

[Please click to report this, thank you. This idiotic platform, Panda TV, should be shut down!]

[How can such a beast not die? It is an outrage against nature!]

"The finals are starting so soon! I can't wait, can we start right now!"

"You guys seem to be in a hurry."

Are you eager to see your master get beaten into a high fever by me?

[Hahaha! Explosive!]

[I'm so jealous of Chu Shen's talent I'm practically turning purple with envy!]

I'll sponsor Uzi with a fever reducer when the time comes.

In an instant, Chu Ran's live stream became a battleground for fans from all sides.

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, Uzi nearly smashed his mouse to pieces.

Soon after Chu Ran ended his broadcast, his name appeared on the trending search list.

#The God of Chu debates with the scholars, he's not even pretending anymore!#
#Is he the uncrowned king, or a shockwave?#
Can Uzi break free from his mental block and achieve his first professional championship?
Seeing the buzz surrounding it, Fujii was grinning from ear to ear.

As long as Chu Ran and Uzi don't retire, the popularity of the LPL will remain high.

A short time later, they came up with a publicity strategy.

That is, during the days of waiting for the finals, they frantically arranged for people to praise Uzi.

Firstly, because Chu Ran doesn't need them to brag; his strength and achievements speak for themselves.

Even if the haters say that he's a champion of luck or a champion of version customization, and that he has no real merit, they're just being stubborn. Most netizens recognize Chu Ran's strength.

It's different when you praise Uzi.

First of all, given RNG's track record, they will definitely join in the marketing, and GSL and RNG fans will also hype it up.

Then there's the fact that the fans will definitely support RNG, since EDG eliminated their IG.

Needless to say, she also learned from her mother.

In this way, GSL's fans will start arguing with EDG and Chu Ran's fans, and the hype will continue.

Another reason is for the development of the game and professional environment.

In fact, Fujii didn't want to see Chu Ran keep winning either.

As we all know, when one person keeps winning a game, others will lose motivation, and the game will lose its vitality.

Just like last year, if LPL hadn't won the championship at the Bird's Nest last year, many LPL players would definitely have quit the game.

It's not just because of the impact of PUBG at the Bird's Nest, but because LPL viewers can't see any hope of winning.

They were consistently crushed by LCK from S3 to S7, with LCK monopolizing the championships. You can imagine the despair they felt.

Fortunately, Chu Ran led EDG to victory, which prevented the LPL's popularity from dropping too much.

So, Chu Ran won again in this final. Although Fujii can promote their second Grand Slam, it will have a great impact on the lifespan of LPL.

Not only Fujii, but Riot Games will definitely make changes as well, making sure that others see hope of victory.

With Fujii's promotional strategy, posts and videos praising Uzi and RNG sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Just as Fujii had predicted, some netizens couldn't resist praising Uzi's impact.

The anti-Hupu forum directly sparked a world war.

Amidst this atmosphere, the LCK finals were also in full swing.

Ultimately, KT won the LCK Summer Split championship without any suspense, becoming the LCK's number one seed to participate in this year's World Championship.

In no time, the overwhelming praise spread from LCK to LPL.

[My goodness, KT feels like the strongest team in LCK history!]

KT, the world's number one this year, are too strong; their pressure is off the charts.

All five positions were terrifyingly strong, especially Semb. It felt like he was venting his frustration in the final because I didn't go to the Asian Games.

[Deft and Mata too, I feel like only Uzi could beat this bot lane duo.]

If Doggo wins the Summer Split this year, KT will be a sure thing. But if Doggo loses, then I can only say that LPL is finished.

[The sugar rush is over. If Uzi loses, LPL loses, right?]

[Is this how they start owing Uzi a championship?]

[GSL means that LPL cannot afford to lose this final, Fujii, understand? We need to manipulate things behind the scenes.]

Haha, let's just unplug the network cable.

The topic sparked heated discussions online, and Chu Ran returned to Shanghai, where she asked her advisor for a long leave.

For good reason.

"Strive for the progress of Chinese esports."

That translates to him being preparing for the LPL Summer Split Finals.

Fudan University did not object too much to Chu Ran's request, but reminded him that he should still occasionally appear on campus, preferably on weekends.

This way, the outside world can see that Chu Ran is catching up on the schoolwork he missed due to the competition over the weekend.

At the same time, one must pass the exams and achieve satisfactory grades; otherwise, one might give others grounds for criticism.

These problems were not problems for Chu Ran.

Soon, they arrived in Hangzhou, a culinary wasteland, before the competition.

It must be said that the eyes of the masses are sharp.

In the hotel training room arranged by the Hangzhou Fujii official team, Meiko touched her stomach, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. "West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce is really awful, Ran-ge."

"What do you want? I already told you not to order anything. Is Hangzhou's food desert a joke to you?"

"I never imagined it would be this desolate. The restaurants near here are all terrible."

“Meiko, back when Su Shi was demoted, he still had the mood to compose poems and eat while traveling. When he came to Hangzhou, he learned to cook for himself.”

"Damn! That makes so much sense, I'm speechless."

Meiko paused for a moment, then immediately gave Chu Ran a thumbs up, while Mala Xiangguo and the others burst out laughing.

"I was filming a promotional video all day and I was starving. Who would believe that the best food in Hangzhou is KFC?"

Just then, Imp glanced at his phone and exclaimed, "Guys, the promotional poster is out!"

"Let me see."

The crowd immediately found Fujii's official Weibo account, where another year's finals poster was prominently displayed.

Beneath a huge poster stood Chu Ran, Uzi, and others.

Everyone looked radiant with confidence, with Chu Ran taking center stage.

Although Uzi is not bad either, I don't know if Fujii did it intentionally.

Visually, Uzi is a head shorter than Chu Ran.

The eye-catching title appears at the top of the poster, officially named by Fujii as "LPL's Final Showdown Between Pigs and Dogs!"

In an instant, the forum on the night before the match was completely overwhelmed.

What does "?? What does 'final showdown' mean?" mean?

[That means, from today onwards, EDG will never face them in the LPL finals again! Understand?]

[Damn it! You bastards, it means EDG will never be able to face RNG in a best-of-five series in the LPL again!]

[Fujii is truly despicable. He looks down on my dog, doesn't he? He'll pay for it tomorrow for licking that bastard's stinky feet!]

The following day, at 1 p.m. at the Hangzhou Gymnasium.

The weather was fine and sunny, and the area was packed with people as RNG's car arrived.

Cheers and shouts resounded through the sky.

"The puppy is invincible!"

"The world's number one ADC! Uzi!"

"So proud, so proud of you!"

"Little dog, I love you!"

These words kept coming in and even reached Chu Ran and the others who had arrived at the scene, giving them goosebumps.

"Is he a shill? How can he shout such disgusting cheers?"

Mala Xiangguo muttered something inside the car, and after they got out, the place became even more noisy!

The shouts of Chu Ran's ID were like a thunderclap from a flat surface, instantly drowning out the voices of GSL and other groups.

This caused Uzi's smile to come to an abrupt end, as he had just been all smiles and waving enthusiastically to his fans.

Compared to Chu Ran, they are nothing but a small fry.

It drove him insane with jealousy.

Uzi was furious as he watched a swarm of esports reporters rush towards Chu Ran and his group.

"Damn it! All of this should rightfully be mine."

"If we win today, we'll cheer for you," the Third Young Master said in a deep voice. "Everyone, keep up the good work!"

Karsa and Mala Xiangguo exchanged glances, seemingly sparking a fierce connection.

As RNG's former and current jungler, Mlxg has won numerous honors this year, while Karsa, who was once a key player for Flash Wolves, has not achieved any comparable honors to Mlxg.

This has led to a lot of criticism of Karsa, especially since he has recently heard discussions among the management, including the Third Young Master.

"It would have been better if we hadn't taken the spicy stir-fry."

"If Mala Xiang Guo (a type of spicy stir-fry) were here, we would definitely have won."

Such statements.

So today, not only does Karsa want to win the championship, he also wants to prove that he is better than Mala Xiangguo.

"What are you pretending for? We'll ruin his reputation today. You'd really think he's the only domestic mid laner in the LPL."

Looking at the impressive presence of Chu Ran and the others, Xiao Hu snorted coldly.

Soon, both sides arrived at the backstage dressing room, and the audience began to enter one after another.

The stadium, which can hold tens of thousands of people, was packed to capacity, and even scalpers made a fortune as a result.

The audience waved their support signs and glow sticks continuously, and the stadium erupted in cheers even before the match started.

"But this beast will surely die today!"

"With sword in hand, follow me and slay this beast!"

"Keep a close eye on the championship trophy, don't let anyone steal it!"

Amidst the heated discussion, in the No. 2 canteen, Sun Yalong, Mao Huang, and others were giving a pre-match pep talk.

Guan Zeyuan was explaining with a smile: "Today's popularity can be described as unprecedented, so we have also prepared an event."

"Then let's have a punishment activity."

Upon hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, Sun Yalong and the others' pupils shrank, while Hirano Ryo and Chen Bo were somewhat stunned.

"Playing this high today?"

"Write down the team you think will win. If the team you support doesn't win, then you have to accept the punishment."

For a moment, Xiran, who was attending the canteen for the first time, was stunned.

The main problem is that I don't know which team to support.

Although EDG had already revealed today that Chu Ran would be their starting mid laner, RNG has really not been bad this summer split.

Letme is equal to all, Karsa is the radar of the jungle, and Xiaohu seems to have shed his nickname of "summer loser".

Not to mention Uzi, whose dominance in the bottom lane is off the charts.

Despite Uzi's many flaws, it's undeniable that he's incredibly strong online, especially this year when he's visibly reached his peak.

When many viewers heard Guan Zeyuan say this, they immediately started to jeer.

[If Xiran supports the wrong person, I'll punish her by having her mail me the black stockings she's wearing!]

[Are you still half asleep? Why should I mail it to you?]

Support RNG! Uzi is the one everyone wants!

The dining hall was filled with noise, but at that moment, the lights in the clubhouse suddenly dimmed.

The spotlight shone on the stage, and Xiao Yu, wearing a white dress that revealed her long, white legs, walked to the center of the stage with a model's gait.

The sound was loud and clear!

"Good afternoon, everyone, both in the studio and watching live!"

"This is the venue for the 2018 LPL Summer Split Finals! I'm your host, Xiaoyu, and today we'll be bringing you an exciting match between EDG and RNG!"

...

"Now!"

"Let's welcome both teams!"

The next second, Xiaoyu started calling out everyone's ID, causing a commotion at the scene!
Promotional videos filmed in Hangzhou by both teams also began to appear on the big screen.

Flandre: I will prove who reigns supreme in the top lane this year, and hopefully I'll have more to write about in Letme's autobiography.

Letme: No one has been able to surpass me in the top lane in the second half of the year. Even if Easy from last year came, he would still be evenly matched with me.

Mlxg: The whole world knows how to deal with RNG, except RNG itself.

Karsa: If you can only be reckless in the jungle, you'll be useless. Today I'll teach Spicy Pot how to play the jungle well.

Meiko: Hopefully RNG can put some pressure on us today.

Imp: I've never lost to Uzi in a best-of-five series, and since Deft is the number one seed, I have to be the number one seed too!
Ming: Starting today, the position of LPL's number one support should change.

Xiaohu: I lost to Easy in the Spring Split finals last time, but this time, I will defeat him.

At this point, the scene and the live broadcast room immediately erupted in heated discussion.

Praise and ridicule emerged simultaneously.

Immediately afterwards, the screen switched to a picture of Uzi standing with his arms crossed.

His tone was filled with boundless confidence.

"Today, I will make new history!"

[That puppy is awesome!]

[Turtle, look at the puppy's eyes, it's like seeing a young puppy in me, it's already won!]

[I have no idea how the puppy is going to lose today! Let this beast show you what the ultimate 4-protect-1 strategy looks like!]

After Uzi finished speaking, the scene shifted again, and Chu Ran's figure appeared directly.

He stood on a boat in the center of West Lake, his handsome appearance accentuated by a black team uniform.

A gentle breeze ruffled his hair, and with a confident upturned smile on his face, many fans were already cheering wildly before he even opened his mouth.

The next second, Chu Ran's resounding words rang out.

"Some people say that all five members of RNG are geniuses, but it's a pity."

"Genius is merely the threshold to meeting me. Today, I will show them the difference between a god and a mortal."

Even if they spend their whole lives chasing after me, they will only ever see my back!

hiss!
When Chu Ran said this, both the scene and the live broadcast room fell silent for a moment.

But soon, cheers erupted from the ground, and countless spectators were so excited that their faces turned red. Before the competition even started, they had already taken a whole bunch of throat lozenges.

[6666! Chu Shen's level of showing off is unmatched!]

[Damn it! If this competition was about showing off, the champion should just go to that bastard!]

【What, you're not convinced, so you're going to pretend too? Don't you Royal Never Give Up fans and GSL fans know how to brag besides being bad at the game?】

[Haha, I've always been utterly impressed by Chu Shen's witty remarks!]

Brothers, I'm in Antarctica right now. Will I be able to see the sun's rays shine down on me today?

[Damn! It feels like the sea level is going to rise again today.]

Amidst the rolling sound waves, the camera shifted again, revealing several familiar figures in the commentary booth.

"Okay, welcome everyone, I'm your commentator Miller!"

"I am the commentator and remember."

"I'm commentator Wang Duoduo!"

"Today, the three of us will be bringing you this final that countless viewers have been eagerly anticipating!"

Miller started by saying, "As we all know, in recent years, the LPL playoffs finals have always been RNG versus EDG, which can truly be called a fateful showdown. However, RNG has only won once so far, in the 2016 Spring Split, and has lost all the other times. I wonder if they can bring us a surprise today. What do you two think?"

After a moment's thought, I realized: "Well, rationally I'd prefer to support RNG, but emotionally I'm more inclined towards EDG."

“That’s right, I think so too.” Wang Duoduo echoed with a smile: “After all, RNG’s strength in this summer split is really very strong. So far, in the regular season and playoffs, RNG has only lost three games, which is an amazing statistic.”

"Yes, and looking at EDG as a whole, although their comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2 against IG in the semifinals really shocked many viewers, RNG is not IG."

"If we can't contain their bot lane, I feel RNG has a better chance of winning."

"So, does that mean the teacher favors RNG more?" Miller asked.

However, I remember simply stopped answering, and Wang Duoduo did the same.

They simply don't make any statements, but instead broadcast various statistics of both players to countless viewers, letting the data speak for itself.

Because Chu Ran barely played in the Summer Split, RNG's data still completely overwhelmed EDG.

Especially when Uzi's stats far surpassed Imp's.

KDA: 8.3
Average relative economic lead: 4267
Average damage: 43698
Average damage conversion: 108.5%
Average last hits: 283
GSL immediately reached a climax.

[That's it? How dare Imp call himself the "puppy's father"?]

[They keep bringing up how Imp never beat Uzi in a best-of-five series, but I'm thinking, the year he won the championship, wasn't Imp a sure thing to be fourth and the champion? They could have won with any other AD carry.]

Wow, this puppy's stats are absolutely top-notch! He's undoubtedly number one in the world!

[What the hell? 108 damage conversion across three lanes, that's insane!]

GSL won't look at this; they can only see other leading data.

"Yes, judging from the data, RNG is indeed terrifyingly strong this year, but our Chu Shen has created countless miracles. Today, let's see if any more miracles will be born!"

Let's hand the stage over to the competition area!

With Miller's roar, both sides' equipment had been debugged and went straight to the BP interface.

In the first coin toss, RNG won and chose the blue side.

The two coaches paced back and forth on the stage, each holding a notebook.

As EDG's coach last year, Nofe made a bold decision.

"Don't ban mid lane, give Xiaohu a utility mid laner to target the enemy bot lane."

"The opposing team usually won't let Kai'Sa through, so we'll ban Rakan, Twitch, and Tristana and pick Xayah."

"can!"

Just as Nofe guessed, Kai'Sa wouldn't be released by Chu Ran.

They have enough ban slots in their team, so there's no reason for them to let Uzi, who has such a strong skill, pick it.

The first three draft picks for both sides were quickly finalized.

RNG: Rat, Twitch, Cannon.

EDG: Kai'Sa, Malzahar, Xayah.

"Oh! EDG's last pick was to shut down Xayah, not giving her to RNG."

Miller exclaimed, "Then RNG's carry has chosen Gragas, which is arguably the OP jungler for this patch."

"What did EDG say? Should they consider taking Letme's Ornn? The principle of equality for all is no joke."

"That's right, Letme's Ornn win rate this year has reached a terrifying 70%, which is an incredibly scary statistic. Moreover, he has been solo-killed 0 times. On the contrary, he has achieved 5 solo kills with Ornn. It can be said that Letme is truly the best Ornn player in the LPL!"

I remember it all so well, and I even borrowed a netizen's words: "The sound of a sheep opening the gates of heaven is so vivid."

"Shockwave?"

On the sidelines, Flandre chuckled: "I don't believe in that nonsense. Let him have Ornn, okay? Today I'll smash his ram's head in the head. Let's pick Aatrox, that way we can still have some options."

"Okay, let's go for AD carry as the second pick then, Pupu, what's your idea?"

"Give me the Ice Blade, I'll smash him to pieces!" imp exclaimed excitedly.

In an instant, Aatrox and Ashe were chosen, and Imp selected Ashe.

Uzi decisively shouted, "Sivir, paired with Thresh."

"Wow! Here comes Sivir! You could say this champion is the signature champion of the Little Dogs' lineup," Miller exclaimed.

"Xiangguo didn't have many questions either, and he chose Taliyah for him between Lee Sin and the currently popular jungler Taliyah."

The first three picks and bans for both sides were quickly determined.

Next, RNG targeted Meiko's support, banning Tahm Kench and Braum.

EDG opted to ban Galio and Lissandra, and then picked Alistar for Meiko as their fourth pick.

“Aniu Head, no problem, there aren’t many good options.” Wang Duoduo nodded: “RNG is indeed picking Ornn, so we’ll have to see what Xiaohu picks. Aatrox is still a potential problem; he might go mid.”

"Not only that, this Taliyah could also be playing mid lane! EDG's draft picks completely stunned RNG."

"How about a clockwork mechanism? That's a good choice. Lock it in!"

Little Tiger interlaced his fingers and said confidently, "Don't worry, my clockwork is incredibly powerful lately."

"I don't need you to solo kill or suppress me, just don't let Ran get ahead and roam around mindlessly."

Uzi chewed his gum calmly and said, "If you guys don't feed this game, I'll carry."

"I'm fine with traveling."

"I'm fine in mid lane too. To be honest, I really don't know how those people can get destroyed by Orianna. I'll show you Orianna this game."

At this moment, countless eyes are focused on EDG's final pick.

"Hmm, Syndra? Looks like Aatrox top lane and Taliyah jungle. Chu Shen has so many champions in his champion pool that are good against Orianna."

At the same time, Mingkai was asking Churan for her opinion, "Xiaoran, what should we play? How about Akali? The enemy team is 4-protect-1, you can go in as an assassin and kill Uzi instantly."

"Indeed, I also agree with picking Akali. Otherwise, Chu Shen, you should pull out your Zed and Talon and kill Uzi until he's dizzy. Let's see if he and his fans will still be jumping around."

"Hmm, Xiangguo, you made a great suggestion, so I have a hero I really want to play. In the first game, let's give the opponent a little shock."

"Get me Kayn!"

At that moment, Mingkai thought he had misheard and said in disbelief, "Huh? Xiaoran, are you crazy? Kayn playing mid lane is against a ranged mage, how is he supposed to play? He can't even stack up his energy in the early game."

"Ran-ge, why don't you play the robbery game!"

"Although Kayn is not good at dealing with Orianna, you have to see whose it is. And after Kayn turns into Blue Kayn, even Sivir with her shield can't survive. That's why I said we should make the first game a bit shocking."

When have I ever lost?

Hearing Chu Ran's words, Ming Kai and the others finally compromised. Indeed, if Chu Ran, the "Kaineng," could rise to the occasion, then with RNG's lineup...

Even Ornn might not be able to withstand Kayn's damage.

RQ is so strong that squishy champions die instantly, it's no joke. Their wave clear ability is almost zero, especially against long-range mages.

Clockwerk has no mobility skills, so if Kayn gets close...
For a moment, many viewers were still waiting to see what hero EDG would choose as their final pick.

Miller and the others were still discussing it.

Suddenly, the moment they saw the hero Kayn appear, their eyes widened and their brains went blank!
"My God! What is that?! Is it Kayn for mid lane?!"

"He's gone mad! Has Chu Shen gone mad?"

"No, this is completely disregarding Xiaohu as a human being!"

Amidst gasps and stunned stares, the adjusted lineups of both sides appeared prominently on the big screen.

RNG (Blue Side): Top lane Ornn, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Orianna, Bot lane Sivir and Thresh.

EDG (Red Side): Top laner Aatrox, Jungler Taliyah, Mid laner Kayn, Bot lane Ashe and Alistar.

Mid lane Kayn?

This version is unheard of!
