LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 282 What God couldn't do, I'll do for him!

Accompanied by the roars of Guan Zeyuan and his group, the entire hall suddenly became bustling with noise, and the endless sound waves gathered into a magnificent torrent that continuously impacted the nerve endings of all the audience members.

Countless LPL viewers were so excited that they trembled with excitement, holding up support signs and glow sticks and shouting with all their might, their voices even becoming a little hoarse.

The live broadcast rooms on major streaming platforms were buzzing with excitement!
Holy crap! Imp! How many pounds of alcohol did I drink today?!

Don't ask, the answer is that it was meant to be drunk before the match, but I hadn't even had a chance to drink it before the match started, and the drink was still warm when I got backstage.

[You're going to slay G2 with a cup of warm wine, right, Imp, my Superman!]

[Are those trolls trying to talk to me now, and are they effective against Imp?]

[Imp: You dare try to arrest your dad again? Your dad's begging to be arrested!]

[This is ridiculous! Meiko played pretty well too; I almost thought he was going to go 0-12.]

Indeed, Meiko's Rakan is slightly better than his Blitzcrank; luckily, he only fed a few early on.

Upon seeing these comments, many of G2's die-hard fans were immediately overwhelmed, with countless cries of despair mixed in with the praise. It's unclear whether G2's loss in the first game led some people to go bankrupt.

I wanted to go downstairs without using the elevator or the stairs.

[You fucking idiot, Perkz must be an actor, tell me, what's the point of you being a bomber?]

Picking a Ziggs champion is a joke. They said they could go toe-to-toe with Perkz in mid lane, but all we see are bombs, no one. Good grief, it seems Perkz is practically nonexistent in this game.

[RNM, G2, refund us!]

[Hilarious! GSL, stop pretending to be a G2 fan. You call yourself a classic actor? The Perkz you're criticizing is someone who could easily beat your RNG mid laner, Mid Tiger.]

[Perkz: Do you like the LeBlanc I used to instantly kill the bathing dog?]

[Damn it, Ran, don't get too excited. This is only the first game. Winning one game in a best-of-five series doesn't mean you'll win everything.]

Indeed, when RNG faced G2, they won the first game but were then eliminated in the quarterfinals.

[Haha, I'm jealous of everyone's talent, so I'm going to hunt you down, huh?]

[You laughed wrong, it should be—hahahahaha, you should laugh in two parts.]

After the first game ended, it sparked heated discussions both online and offline.

Inside the RNG club, Uzi saw these comments. He had finally recovered from the match a week ago, but the netizens' comments made the scenes from that match flash through his mind again.

In an instant, his chubby face turned as red as a tomato, causing the temperature in the RNG training room to rise rapidly.

Uzi looked around and saw that Xiaohu and the others were suppressing their laughter, which made Uzi even angrier.

"What the hell are you laughing at? You're all happy that EDG beat G2, right? You really wanted EDG to win too? If EDG wins, do you think netizens will let you off the hook?"

RNG lost to G2, while EDG won against G2.

If that's really the case, then without a doubt, the vast majority of LPL viewers will compare them with EDG, and that will create a huge storm of discussion.

Just two words.

On the other hand.

Upon hearing Uzi's angry outburst, Xiaohu and the others immediately bit their lower lips.

To be honest, they didn't want to laugh either, but seeing the comments from netizens, they realized they really were from Bengbu.

[What kind of rotten fish is this "bathing dog"? He only deserves to bathe in Imp's foot bath water.]

[Actually, the ingredient list for the rock sugar pear drink that Imp drinks has always included some people's foot bath water.]

Wearing pink headphones, she exudes confidence yet remains ordinary.

Seeing this, Uzi was furious and punched Xiaohu and the others hard in the thigh.

Then Xiaohu and Karsa retaliated with two punches, and Letme hesitated for a moment.

Then he thought, "I'm about to retire, who's going to put up with this giant baby?"
Bang bang bang!
Three punches taught Uzi how to play Jhin.

why?
If he cripples Uzi, then he can become one with Jhin, and he'll definitely be able to play Jhin well.

In an instant, the entire RNG club was filled with heart-wrenching screams.

Ren Uzi himself did not expect that after losing to G2 this year, his status and prestige in the club would plummet, which made him so angry that his whole body was shaking.

He silently made a vow in his heart.

Next year, he will definitely take back everything that is rightfully his!
At the same time, in the LCK commentary booth, the Korean commentators, including Roaring Emperor, were a little alarmed when they saw Imp being so powerful.

"Damn, Imp is in such good form this year? It's really beyond our expectations."

"It really surprised us. It's hard to imagine that he's a veteran who has played for many years. I personally feel that Imp and Deft are in equally good form this year."

However, their words quickly drew criticism from some netizens lurking on Korean online forums.

[Another one bragging? Could the pilot have won last year without Chu Shen? And anyone with eyes can see that Deft isn't in the same form as Imp this year.]

Stop bragging! KT should really think about how to beat IG. They can't even beat Jackeylove.

To be fair, Deft's skill level is simply not as good as Imp's. When Imp won the championship, he dominated Deft.

[Damn it, can you Chinese filial sons get out of South Korea? If you like LPL teams so much, just renounce your citizenship and go to the LPL.]

You think we don't want it? Isn't it just that getting Chinese citizenship is too difficult?

Is it really that hard to admit there's a gap between LCK and LPL? LCK is no longer the top region; hopefully, we can learn from LPL's strategies and tactics.

[Chu Shen's command and strategy in this game were breathtaking; he was too strong. His Xerath was simply the anchor of the team, and without his Xerath in the final team fight, Imp would have died much earlier.]

[Silver Medal Zone: Humility is Key!]

At this moment, many South Koreans are furious. Perhaps the words "silver medal region" have triggered their sensitive nerves, causing them to leave messages on the KT players' accounts with great indignation.

The content was nothing special; it was simply a matter of making sure they beat IG, and then slaughter EDG in the finals to win the championship.

If they don't win the championship, let KT have a stroke of luck.

Of course, a small number of people turned around and supported G2 instead, hoping that EDG would be eliminated today because they had developed a great fear of EDG.

The MVP was announced on the big screen, and ultimately it was awarded to Chu Ran.

Looking at Chu Ran's handsome promotional photos, the Koreans were even more terrified. They really didn't know how they could possibly defeat the man in front of them.

Perkz actually played quite well in the mid lane this game; he didn't feed kills, wasn't solo killed, and his CS difference wasn't significant.

However, in terms of the actual match, the key to EDG's comeback was Chu Ran's early jungle gank on Zhao Xin, which gave him a lane advantage with a teleport, allowing him to turn the tide in a team fight in the bottom lane.

In comparison, Perkz was practically invisible in this game, serving no purpose whatsoever.

But anyone who has watched Chu Ran's matches knows that this was actually Chu Ran's worst performance.

None of them achieved godlike status.

KDA:6-0-16
Damage: 61475
Damage percentage: 43.1%
Economic lead in counterpart: 3654
[6666, this is Chu Shen's worst performance ever to get MVP; he didn't even achieve a godlike status.]

[Hilarious! This kind of data has already fallen to the worst?]

To be fair, Perkz's Ziggs play was actually somewhat effective this game; at least he managed to avoid being solo-killed by Chu Shen.

G2 played very well, ganking bot lane early on. However, their mid-game decision to trade one for two was too risky, and Chu Shen capitalized on the opportunity to counter-attack.

[Wasn't that a crime by Wadid? The mid-lane tower dive was over, Imp wanted to farm the wave, and then Wadid went up there. I'm laughing so hard.]

When the MVP was awarded to Chu Ran, Miller and the other commentators in the LPL commentary booth generally agreed with the decision.

"Oh, we see that the MVP is still awarded to Chu Shen. Although Imp's Ashe looks amazing from the data, the MVP selection for the match is not quite the same as the MVP selection in our ranked games."

Miller said excitedly, "It's fair to say that without Chu Shen's early moves, Imp's Ashe might not have even gotten to farm up. Of course, Imp also played very well this game."

"According to the backstage statistics, Imp fired a total of 15 Magic Crystal Arrows in this match, missing only three. His ultimate skill hit rate is terrifying."

"Yes, that's right. You could say that Chu Shen played a crucial role in this match, and it also showed us whether it's effective for you to play with a Bomber and compete with Chu Shen online."

"It's useful, but not very effective."

Guan Zeyuan had a bright smile on his face and said excitedly, "Netizens are saying that this MVP is Chu Shen's worst performance in the games where he won MVP. Only his occasional tank games have worse stats."

"Yes, that's Chu Shen!" Wang Duoduo echoed enthusiastically. "And the other EDG players also performed exceptionally well in this match. That's our EDG."

"It can only be said that G2's idea of ​​using Ziggs in a 4-protect-1 strategy was indeed good. They made some progress in the early game and really limited Chu's performance, but it wasn't enough. I wonder what adjustments G2 will make in the next game."

"We'll take a short break, the competition will be back soon!"

After the commercial break, many viewers spontaneously went to various forums to discuss the topic.

Meanwhile, backstage at KT.

Ucal, with a hint of worry on his face, said in a deep voice, "This guy is really outrageous. It's making me a little unsure of my ability to beat him. Is he really not open?"

“During a normal match, he seems to read Perkz’s mind; he sees right through Perkz’s every move.”

"So this is Xiao Ran." Deft stroked his chin. "What? Scared?"

Upon hearing this, Ucal immediately sat up straight and raised his voice righteously, "What are you talking about? You think I'm afraid? The word 'afraid' doesn't exist in my dictionary, Ucal's dictionary."

"I think it's you who's scared, Hyuk-kyu. Sung-bin is terrifying."

"Hitting him is as easy as hitting an ant."

Before Deft could answer, Mata spoke up first.

He felt that based on his understanding of Imp, the bottom lane would definitely have an advantage when they faced EDG in the finals.

Hearing his teammates so confident only made Socre more worried, and his bad premonition grew stronger.

In an instant, Socre forced a smile and reminded them, "Brothers, let's not be too confident. It wouldn't be good if we lost to IG."

How did they lose to IG?

Semb was immediately puzzled, but then said decisively, "We'll have an advantage in the top lane anyway. If we lose, it'll be because you guys threw the game."

"I can handle the top lane against KT then."

While KT was discussing IG, IG was also discussing them, since everyone wanted to reach the finals and compete for the championship trophy that represents the highest honor in League of Legends this year.

TheShy scratched the back of his head, seemingly a little embarrassed.

At this time, TheShy had not yet grown into the person he would become in later years, otherwise he would not have been given the title of 'Shy Man'.

"TheShy, are you that confident? The other side is Semb, the world's best top laner this year." Rooike said with a smile, "Of course, it's because Easy went to the mid lane, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get that position either."

However, right after he said that, TheShy simply said slowly, "Back in S6, everyone said he was the best top laner in the world, but then Haocheng won the championship."

"Last year, some people said he was the best top laner in the world, but he didn't even make it to the World Championship. This year, I'll let him take a break after he reaches the semifinals."

As soon as TheShy uttered these bold words, Ning Mazi immediately chimed in, "Indeed, first destroy KT, then wipe out EDG!"

At that moment, in the G2 lounge, Perkz and his friends burst out laughing as they looked at Chu Ran's prominent makeup photo on the big screen.

"It's a bit of a pity, he still managed to revitalize the whole team." Perkz's tone didn't seem to have affected his mentality despite losing the first game.

For a region like Europe, which is known for its unpredictable and sometimes quirky play, losing the first game in a best-of-five series isn't really that disheartening.

We can always win the next few games to make up for it.

"But his performance in this game wasn't as good as before, was it?" G2's head coach smiled and then raised his voice: "This shows that our approach is correct. As long as we can limit their mid lane, then defeating EDG is not impossible."

"In the next game, we'll change our strategy. Instead of ganking bot, we'll gank mid directly. We'll give bot lane a strong combination to secure their advantage, and then Wadid, you and Jankos will keep targeting their mid lane."

"In that case, I refuse to believe that the enemy mid laner can still get ahead!"

Upon hearing the head coach's words, Jankos and Wadid's eyes lit up, and they quickly nodded in agreement.

Perkz straightened his collar and said confidently, "Then I won't go against him in the next game. I'll just pick a strong hero. As long as I get ahead, even if the enemy's top and bottom lanes get ahead, we can still win."

"Next game, let's give you a top laner like Irelia or Urgot," Wunder suddenly wiped his mouth and said. "Playing Shen doesn't showcase my skill. I got careless and got solo killed by the enemy top laner. I'll come back for revenge next game."

"can."

After a few seconds of thought, G2's head coach immediately agreed, and then said emphatically, "Losing the first game is no big deal. We will not lose a single game from now on and will win this year's World Championship."

"Glory belongs to Europe!"

"G2 will win!"

His deafening cheers boosted the morale of the entire G2 team, making the backstage area incredibly exciting.

On the other side, inside the EDG lounge.

Imp sighed, "Damn it, I didn't get the MVP. Do they even know the value of a pentakill?"

"Pfft, you were completely crushed in the early game, and you still call that a pentakill impressive?" Spicy Hot Pot laughed. "You were just babbling on voice chat the whole time, it would be unreasonable to give you the MVP."

"Isn't that Meiko's fault?"

For a second, Meiko's eyes widened in surprise, then she immediately shrugged, "What does this have to do with me? What can I do if the enemy top laner and jungler come?"

"Shut up, you little brat. Just say what you want to say, why are you shrugging like that?"

Before Meiko could finish speaking, Mingkai glared at him and rebuked him angrily.

He's retired and become a coach, but there are always people imitating him, showing no respect for veterans.

"Haha, but I feel that G2's strategy in this game was pretty good. The Ziggs really limited Chu Shen, so Chu Shen didn't put as much pressure on him in the mid lane."

Saint Gun nodded affirmatively and said, "It's just that G2 collapsed too quickly, causing the Ziggs' output to be unable to keep up, and the skill accuracy was not good. Compared with Chu Shen's Xerath, it was far inferior."

"Nonsense, I was always terrified when I saw Xiao Ran's Xerath standing at the front and poking like you during team fights. Xiao Ran, you have no idea how scary you are."

After Mingkai finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Chu Ran, who was lying on the sofa watching videos on her phone. Godv's voice was very prominent, but it was also a little choked up.

"Back then, I wasn't thinking about anything else, I just felt really strong, so I wanted to choose the Diana skin to hook Chen Bo, and have Hirano Aya carry me in playing Tianya Mingyue Dao."

Imp was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked in confusion, "God Chu, why are you watching GodV?"

"No, I just stumbled upon it by chance. Now some netizens are praising him as the former number one domestic mid laner in the LPL. I feel like I'm regretting it now. Why didn't I do this earlier?"

"How can I not regret it? Seeing that Pupu is about to win the championship again, he hasn't won the championship in PUBG yet."

"GodV, that's going too far! You're not just killing me, you're destroying my spirit!" Chu Ran's eyes darted around as she asked Imp, "Pfft, which champion did GodV want the championship skin for back then?"

"Bright moon."

Imp blurted out without thinking.

"Do you think if I chose Diana for this year's championship skin, it would sell like hotcakes? How many people would buy it just out of nostalgia? Or would it sell better for popular champions like Zed?"

"????"

"Ran-ge, if you choose Diana, I'll personally fund the purchase of 100 sets, hahaha, and I'll also give you a few sets of Godv."

"Xiao Ran, you're really fearless! The Optimistic Family has just declined, not died. You have no idea how fierce LGD's fans were back in S5." Ming Kai shuddered and continued:

"Back then, even EDG's fans couldn't compare to LGD's. If you dare to pick Diana, these people will probably support you, but you'll also get flamed to death. Don't even think about it."

"Will we get roasted?" Chu Ran was taken aback, then immediately slapped his thigh. "Then this is the only option, it's the best of both worlds!"

Dead silence.

After Chu Ran finished speaking, there was a few seconds of silence backstage. Ming Kai reacted and immediately chased Chu Ran away like he was getting rid of a plague, "Get out of here, you little brat, stay away from me, or your blood will splatter on me."

"God Chu, you are amazing." Imp was somewhat dumbfounded and gave Chu Ran a thumbs up.

He truly admired Chu Ran's courage. Was he really not afraid of death?
As a veteran of LGD, he knows best the fighting spirit of LGD's fans during their peak. For example, Godv's switch to PUBG and his immense popularity owe a great deal to these fans.

If you choose the Diana skin, even the most optimistic people will be on edge.

Little did he know that this was exactly what Chu Ran wanted: the skin would sell well, and a bunch of people would be on edge. It was perfect for him.

"Duh, I'm always super brave, so I'll post something on Weibo first~"

Seeing that Chu Ran had already taken out his phone, Saint Gun Bro, Spicy Hot Pot, and the others quickly left Chu Ran's vicinity and gathered together. Ming Kai even cursed loudly, "Big Fool Chun, do you really think we EDG haven't made enough enemies? The operations department will cut off your head and use it as a toilet."

"It's okay, anyway I won't be a member of EDG next year."

"Nima!"

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, Saint Gun and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Playing for EDG is fun, but the pressure is also immense.

Right now, they are about to be bombarded daily by three incredibly large fan groups: Chicken, GSL, and Han Xiaozi. Just thinking about adding the Optimistic Family to the mix makes their scalps tingle.

"Meiko, what are you doing?" Spicy Hot Pot asked when he saw Meiko busy with her phone.

"Close all comment sections, close private messages, close mention notifications, do whatever Ran does."

"Tch, Tianye, I wouldn't shut you down if I were you." Chu Ran rolled his eyes at Mieko. "Although I brought you water and fire, I didn't bring you any traffic."

"Isn't black and red red? Isn't hellfire fire?"

"In the LPL, you must always remember one thing: if you get criticized, it means you are still remembered by the audience. If you are no longer criticized, it means the audience has forgotten you. Players without popularity will not have high value even if they have the skills. For example, some professional players, such as Snake's AD last year, O, are now almost forgotten."

"Damn, that's so true! A word from you is worth more than ten years of study!" Imp immediately stopped what he was doing. "So what if I get flamed? It's not like I've never been flamed before."

In an instant, Meiko and the others thought about it more and more and found it made more sense. They had to admit that Chu Ran had indeed brought them a huge amount of traffic.

A moment later, Chu Ran's latest Weibo post appeared on the entire internet. At this time, most LPL viewers were still discussing the match that had just ended, and when they saw that Chu Ran had posted a Weibo post about the halftime break, they immediately clicked on it.

Sure enough, the moment Chu Ran's Weibo post was seen, the entire Weibo platform exploded!

Weibo account EDG-Easy:

Before I officially embarked on my LPL journey, during the S5 World Championship, LGD, whom we LPL had high hopes for, fell short in the round of 16, which was even more regrettable than RNG's defeat this year.

I was amazed when I saw the Fire Man refining iron and shooting an arrow in the opposite direction. I was also amazed when I saw Godv slumped in a chair, sobbing uncontrollably. I will never forget that scene.

At that moment, I thought, if I could represent the LPL at the World Championship, I would definitely win everything. Now that the trophy is right in front of me, I have to consider whether this is my only chance to become a champion mid laner in my lifetime.

It is our duty to restore the glory of domestic mid laners in the LPL!
What God couldn't do back then, I, Chu Ran, will accomplish today!

[6666! Holy crap, what does that mean? Are you going to play Diana next game?]

Haha, my dead memories are starting to attack me.

[Is Chu Shen trying to get the Diana skin? Damn, if it really is the Diana skin, I'll sell everything I own this year to buy it!]

So the question is, was LGD's elimination in the Round of 16 outrageous, or was RNG's elimination in the Quarterfinals shocking?

【Damn it, you chose that damn Diana skin! Do you really think our optimistic family is all dead?】

[You beast, you dare play Diana? You dare rekindle the glory of LPL's domestic mid laners? Back when GodV was dominating the professional scene, you were still picking up trash in some nook and cranny!]

Wow, that's amazing! So this Wei Shen you're talking about must have a championship skin, right? Is it Diana?

[Haha, I'm so jealous of netizens' talent!]

Chu Ran's Weibo post had only been published for a few minutes when countless people flocked to it, and the comment section instantly erupted into a heated debate, with the optimistic family collectively resurrected.

Since LGD disbanded after S5, they haven't paid much attention to the LPL anymore, especially now that Godv has switched to PUBG, a large number of the optimistic family members have already left League of Legends.

They truly did not expect that, even after several years, there would still be people who would not let them go, causing those painful memories to attack them again.

Can this be tolerated?
He immediately began to offer his sincerest greetings to Chu Ran's family genealogy.

Even Godv, who was watching the game live, was alarmed and quickly left a message on Chu Ran's Weibo post.

4AM-Godv: [I wasn't crying uncontrollably, please stop with the unwarranted criticism.]

Of course, Chu Ran quickly replied, "Imp said he was there and he can testify."

[Haha, Imp is actually in Bengbu! He really was there.]

[I'm laughing so hard, @4AM-Godv, just asking, if Chu Shen got the Diana skin, and you, my brother, you were a deserter, how would you feel?]

[@4AM-Godv, once the greatest domestic mid-laner in LPL history, who said that?]

Seeing these comments from netizens, Godv was completely stunned. In the live stream, the pig's head meat on his phone visibly turned red and entered a warm red state.

He was truly impressed by Chu Ran, the sixth brother.

Even though he's left League of Legends, they still won't let him off the hook. But as long as he sees the Optimistic Family criticizing Chu Ran, that's fine.

To be honest, even if Chu Ran really wins the championship, he still insists on choosing the Diana champion skin. Although if it were actually released, he would definitely buy it, and might even use the skin to play a few games.

It just feels disgusting. Why pick Diana when there are so many heroes to choose from?

Now Godv understands why Uzi was so upset last year when he learned that Deft had chosen the Vayne championship skin. Even someone who had long since left the LPL found it hard to accept, let alone Uzi, who had always considered Vayne his own.

The buzz generated by Chu Ran's Weibo post quickly spread to various competition regions, and when they and others took the stage again, the live stream was flooded with the words "Jiaoyue".

On the LPL commentary booth.

"Alright, welcome back everyone. This is the semifinals of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship. We will now be bringing you the second match between EDG and G2. EDG is currently leading 1-0."

"G2 also chose the red side in this game, and it's unknown what changes both sides will make in this game."

After Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, Miller immediately chimed in, "And we also saw Chu Shen's Weibo post before the match. It seems he wanted to play Diana in this game."

"Yes, but there's also a high chance it's a smokescreen, which is making things difficult for G2. Now the question is, what should G2 do? Will you ban Diana or not? If you don't ban her, Chu Shen might just pick her as his signature move."

"But if you ban her, to be honest, Diana is already a benchwarmer, and if you ban her, you'll be laughed at by the audience for the rest of your life."

Wang Duoduo nodded with a smile, "Zeyuan is right. Chu Shen revealed what he was going to do before the match, and he was able to put a lot of pressure on G2. That's the power of reputation. Besides, G2 didn't have enough bans."

Amidst their conversation, the first three draft picks from both teams were finalized.

EDG: Xayah, Malzahar, Galio.

G2: Taliyah, Xerath, Ashe.

"Wow, both sides' draft picks were clearly well thought out. EDG, on the blue side, didn't even consider banning Kai'Sa. On the contrary, they wanted to first pick Kai'Sa, so they blocked Xayah, not wanting to give G2 the Xayah-Rakan combination. As for the other two picks, they were the usual ones. G2's draft picks were based on EDG's champion pool from the previous game."

"However, EDG didn't ban Ziggs this time. Will Perkz still pick it? EDG is torn between Kai'Sa and Rakan for their first pick. They probably think that since they banned Xayah, G2 should ban one of them, Kai'Sa or Rakan. One is a T0-level AD in the late game, and the other is Meiko's signature champion. Meiko's RW flash in the last team fight in the last game amazed many of us."

With Miller's resounding voice, EDG ultimately chose Kai'Sa as their first pick.

"Is it possible that the opposing team will be Kai'Sa mid?" G2's head coach asked first, but then answered himself, "It's probably impossible, but we'll pick the bot lane duo later, so let's pick the top and jungle first, Irelia and Lee Sin."

However, Perkz suddenly retorted, "I think we can use Ryze and Lee Sin. Have you forgotten the game we won against RNG? We used Ryze and Aatrox in the top and mid lanes, and started flexing with Ryze."

"I think he'll really pick Diana, so I have a good champion to counter him."

Upon hearing Perkz's words, G2's head coach asked Wunder for his opinion. Seeing that Wunder agreed, he immediately locked in Ryze and Lee Sin.

"Wow! G2 has picked Ryze and Lee Sin, just like EDG! Kai'Sa could be mid lane, and Ryze could be top lane!" Miller exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes, both sides are starting to waver. What does EDG have to say? If G2 doesn't pick Rakan, then EDG will definitely go for the Kai'Sa-Rakan combination. Both are pretty strong, so what will they pick as their third pick?"

The next second, Guan Zeyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"My God, is it the bright moon?! Is it really the bright moon?! It's locked!"

At this moment, the scene and all the competition areas were shaken. Countless viewers were stunned. They did not expect that Chu Ran would actually dare to make the choice.

【6666! God Chu!】

[Holy crap, Chu Shen keeps his word! A real man indeed!]

[Chu Shen: I don't care what you have or don't have. You like to waver? I only have Diana. If you're so capable, come and counter me.]

The live stream chat was immediately flooded with comments.

Chu Ran's use of the Divine Moon move truly surprised many viewers, who initially thought his Weibo post was just a prank.

Seeing Chu Ran choose Diana, many members of the Optimistic Family became even more furious. They severely criticized Chu Ran's behavior, but deep down they really wanted to see the Diana skin.

But they don't want to see Chu Ran's Diana skin.

Some of Godv's die-hard fans would prefer to see Godv return and win the championship, including LGD fans who want to see LGD's mid laner get the Diana skin in the future.

On the G2 pitch, Perkz and the others were all taken aback.

Chu Ran never jokes with them.

“Oh my god! Is this guy really that brave? Does he really think he’s invincible, or does he not consider us human?” Jankos wondered.

Hjarnan nodded noncommittally, "Perhaps both."

"Fuck, what is he pretending for?" Wadid cursed. "How about we stick with Lucian?"

"can."

Amidst the discussions, G2 picked Lucian as their third pick, causing Guan Zeyuan to frown immediately. "G2 picked Lucian again. It seems they're targeting EDG's bot lane again this game."

"Yes, I think EDG needs to come up with some countermeasures for the second round of draft picks. We can't let G2 break through EDG's bottom lane like they did in the last game."

Miller had barely finished speaking when the bans for the second round were already decided for both sides.

EDG blocked Aatrox and Urgot, while G2 blocked Xin Zhao and Kindred, two strong junglers.

The fourth pick was Titan.

"My god, is that a support Titan? G2 seems even more determined to target EDG's bot lane this game than in the last one. He's practically going for a kill lock!"

"Moreover, Kai'Sa is weaker than Ashe in some ways in the early game, and Imp has already started grumbling."

Just as Miller had guessed, the moment Imp saw Titan, he was already cursing, "Damn it, I'm the father of all, Lucian Titan, you beast."

"Don't blame me, you said you wouldn't ban Lucian."

Hearing Mingkai's words, Imp gritted his teeth and said, "I was just thinking about preventing the other side from picking Xayah and Rakan, and also making it easier for Chu Shen to play."

"Holy Gun Bro and Xiang Guo, how are your Jayce and Gragas? This game, Pupu should just farm in the bot lane and not bother with the bottom half of the map. He should play top, mid, and jungle."

"Okay, give me the barrel, I'll run over the other side."

Soon, EDG finalized their two picks.

"Jayce, Gragas, it seems like EDG has decided to abandon the bottom half of the map and focus on the top, mid, and jungle."

"Yes, so what will G2 pick as their last pick? It doesn't seem like there are many champions that counter Jayce, and Flandre's Jayce is also a great player. Wunder, the eyes of the world are on you!"

But at that very moment, on the big screen, a shocking icon suddenly appeared in G2's fifth-floor hero frame.

A magnetic voice immediately resounded throughout the entire hall.

Death is like the wind, always by my side!

Yasuo, the Unforgiven.

locking!

For a moment, the scene and the live broadcast rooms of each competition area fell silent for a few seconds, and then immediately a huge uproar broke out!

"My goodness! Perkz picked Yasuo! This Ryze is a true flex pick, he's flexed to top lane, mid lane Yasuo vs. mid lane Diana!"

"Perkz said that since EDG is doing something silly, he's doing something silly too. He's declaring war on Chu Shen. You should know that Perkz is facing the owner of the Yasuo championship skin!"

Upon seeing Yasuo, Wang Duoduo was taken aback and immediately shouted, throwing the entire LPL into chaos.

Holy crap, Ah P, my Superman!

[I'm an EDG fan, but I want to give Perkz a thumbs up. No matter what, at least he had the courage!]

[Ap's Yasuo is an absolute must-play, so this game is really hard to predict. Plus, there's the Titan with his pinpoint headshot. Honestly, I'm not that optimistic about EDG's chances this game.]

[That's right, the main problem is that Chu Shen's Diana is too abstract. The biggest problem with Diana in this version is her slow wave clear speed, and as an assassin, her burst damage is nowhere near that of LeBlanc.]

Amidst the commotion in each competition zone, the lineups of the two teams were finally revealed after the swapping.

EDG (Blue Side): Top lane Jayce, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Diana, Bot lane Kai'Sa.

G2 (Red Side): Top lane Ryze, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Yasuo, Bot lane Lucian and Nautilus.

Upon seeing G2's lineup, Mingkai's face immediately darkened, and he cursed G2 for being treacherous.

"I should have banned his roaming character too. HolyGun Bro and XiaoRan, are you two out of your minds?"

"Is Yasuo really strong in lane?" Chu Ran asked in return.

Saint Gun paused for a moment, "It's alright against Wunder, it depends on my Shockwave accuracy. I hope Wunder conforms to the 'shockwave mutual attraction theory' in Shockwave theory."

If Jayce's Shockwave misses Ryze, then it's going to be a really tough fight.

Because Jayce's only skills and attack ranges are not as far as Rogue's, except for his Shockwave which has a range of 600 and 1300 yards.

Jess has absolutely no chance of effectively suppressing the Wanderers.

If Jayce can't dominate the top lane, then this champion is useless. Without an advantage, Jayce's cannon shots in team fights are just tickling the enemy.

"Don't worry, I'm here for you this time! I'll help you out!" Mala Xiangguo said confidently.

Meanwhile, G2 also had confident smiles on their faces, and the G2 head coach was beaming with pride when he shook hands with Mingkai.

At that moment, the commentators in the European region were so excited that they were waving their arms and legs.

"Nice! It's obvious that G2 has done research on EDG, and G2's real goal in this game is not to target EDG's bot lane like in the previous game, but to target EDG's mid lane."

"A strong bot lane duo. If we help them establish stable pressure in the early game, we can let this Titan roam around. With Jankos' Lee Sin, wouldn't it be easy for them to gank this Diana who has no mobility in the mid lane?"

Diana's E ability requires an enemy unit to dash, so when she's being ganked, this dash is essentially useless.

Moreover, the current version of Diana is no longer the hero whose ultimate ability could also dash, and the "infinite combo under the moon" that netizens used to jokingly call her is truly a thing of the past.

"That's right. I would even dare to say that G2's draft in this game has increased their win rate by two levels. With Perkz's Yasuo, the win rate is another 10%. What was originally a 50/50 situation is now a 20/80 situation. Moreover, Ryze in the top lane is also good against Jayce."

"I'd give that wingman's move a perfect score! That's G2 for you!"

As their impassioned words rose and fell, countless G2 spiritual shareholders also felt their confidence rise inexplicably.

[Full marks! Absolutely full marks! Kai is no good at playing, and he's even worse as a coach!]

[I'm laughing so hard! EDG could put together a lineup that's difficult to play in all three lanes; only a useless Kayn could pull that off.]

[I just don't understand why people like this B-rank Kai'Sa so much. Is it because Imp can't carry in the early game? He's definitely not as good as my dog.]

My dog's early-game dominance in lane is undeniable; basically, anyone who lanes against him will be sweating buckets for the first ten minutes!

Amidst the clamor of discussion, the Summoner's Rift on the big screen quietly began to unfold under the watchful eyes of countless people.
