LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 288 A true man's ambition lies in all corners of the world; today, he draws his sword and points it towards Busan!
"Awesome! EDG is awesome!!"

"Chu Shen, my Superman, I love you, like a mouse loves rice!!"

"We, EDG, are invincible!"

In an instant, glow sticks and support signs were constantly waving in the air inside the huge venue, and every LPL audience member at the scene unleashed their greatest energy at this moment.

Despite her hoarse voice and flushed face.

But they all cheered loudly for EDG and the others without stopping.

Although they were only a small part of the audience, the sound waves they generated were like a torrent, wildly impacting the eardrums of viewers around the world, turning the stadium into a place of deafening roars.

They were incredibly excited.

Although many viewers knew before the match that EDG could defeat G2, they still felt somewhat uneasy because of RNG's previous success.

They were afraid that EDG would suffer a major upset and sink a ship.

Even though EDG had already won two games, most viewers were still on tenterhooks.

But now, seeing G2's Nexus explode, the huge weight in their hearts has finally been lifted, and they are completely excited, which has also made the domestic viewers watching the live broadcast excited.

It's important to know that defeating G2 means EDG has once again entered the finals of this year's League of Legends World Championship, and they are once again making their attempt to win the global championship.

Although I can't guarantee a 100% chance of winning.

However, given EDG's current form, many viewers are confident that EDG will retain their championship title this year and bring the trophy back to their LPL region.

If this actually happens, EDG will become the second team after SKT to win the championship for two consecutive years.

Looking back a few years ago, it was difficult for them to even break into the top eight in the LPL. When the LPL region was just beginning to take shape, there was a team called Royal Club that made it to the finals for two consecutive years.

Let's not even talk about how they were completely crushed in the finals.

However, one person rose to the pinnacle of LPL honors by being runner-up for two consecutive years, and was dubbed the "World's Number One ADC, the Uncrowned King" by his fellow players.

Although EDG won the championship last year, those disgusting GSL players always say that "the championship has no value" and "two runner-up finishes are more valuable than one championship."

However, after defeating G2 and advancing to the finals today, Chu Ran is guaranteed at least one championship and one runner-up title, which has greatly excited his many fans, who are busy typing in the chat during the live stream.

At this moment, the live broadcast rooms of major domestic platforms have exploded with activity, and even noticeable buffering has occurred.

Many viewers watching the live stream couldn't help but erupt in deafening cheers the moment EDG defeated G2.

Internet cafes, university dormitories, night markets.
Although the scale was not as large as EDG's championship win last year, it still thoroughly ignited the passion of domestic viewers. The live stream remained highly popular, and the barrage of comments scrolled by like a tidal wave.

[Shut up! GSL and those haters, they're all talking to me now! Weren't you guys so vocal? Why aren't you talking anymore?!]

【让2追3？怎么说，是不是还要G2让3追5啊？】

What kind of trash team could possibly lose to G2? Don't they even know what a 3-0 sweep means?

[I'm laughing so hard. Are winning two Asian Games titles really that impressive? Tell me loudly, are they really that impressive?]

[Chu Shen: Jian Zihao, I've made it to the finals again, what about you?]

Uzi: I'm taking a shower at home.

[Haha, so, have you learned how to play Lucian yet, you bathing dog? An ADC won't deal damage if they don't have a safe environment, understand?]

He doesn't understand; he'll only die a violent death. No one knows how to die a violent death better than a bath dog.

Last year it was the jungler who was bad, but this year Xiangguo has won championships left and right and is guaranteed a runner-up finish at the World Championship. Considering RNG's performance this year, which one is really the weakling?

I hereby announce the stripping of Uzi's citizenship; he will have to sit at the same table as dogs when he eats.

Seeing these comments, GSL players who were hoping for EDG's defeat today were furious.

But it's no use what they say now.

RNG was eliminated by G2 in the quarterfinals, but G2 was then swept 3-0 by EDG.

Even if they still try to be stubborn, the difference in their abilities is now clear. Some GSLs still tried to argue, but they were immediately hunted down and their citizenship was revoked.

As for the other G2 spiritual shareholders, they all lost their composure, and some of the betting enthusiasts even went into a frenzy in the live broadcast room.

However, many viewers bluntly said that he died a "good death".

At the same time, inside the RNG club.

Uzi's chubby face was like the rising sun; at first glance, his flushed cheeks looked as if the sun itself had risen at that moment.

The temperature inside RNG's training room is rising rapidly. If a thermometer were to come over at this moment, it would probably stop working and explode.

In an instant, Uzi's furious roar echoed throughout the training room.

"Bang bang bang!"

Uzi clenched his right fist and slammed it into Xiaoming's thigh, muttering, "Trash! Trash! G2 is a bunch of trash. The European region hasn't improved at all in all these years!"

"They can't even beat EDG, what kind of zombies did they dig up from their graves?!"

The thought that Chu Ran has made it to the finals and is guaranteed to be the runner-up makes it clear that Chu Ran's achievement truly makes him the number one player in the LPL.

Despite his lackluster performance in recent years, Uzi still has something to be proud of.

That's his two runner-up finishes. Even if EDG won the championship last year, it wouldn't surpass the significance of his two appearances in the World Championship finals.

For a long time, Uzi believed he was the best player in the LPL, and that his fans calling him a "god" was not wrong.

After all, it was said by netizens themselves.

In esports, honor reigns supreme.

Before today, Uzi had two World Championship runner-up titles, and he didn't even take Meiko's three MSI championships and one S championship seriously.

After all, he could say that none of the other honors in League of Legends are convincing except for the World Championship.

As it turned out, his last source of pride was ruthlessly shattered by EDG, led by Chu Ran, today.

How can this prevent Uzi from breaking through the defenses?

"Fuck you! Ran Chu! Why does such a beast like Ran Chu have to exist in this world!" Uzi pounded his chest and stamped his feet, his eyes turning red. "Can the LPL really investigate EDG and Ran Chu? I don't think he could possibly be that strong. Maybe all his honors are fake."

Dog talk.

Upon hearing Uzi's words, Xiaohu and the others exchanged glances and quickly moved away from him.

They all agreed that Uzi had suffered a relapse of rabies.

At that moment, Xiaoming was also groaning while hugging his thigh, and quickly stepped back. He really wanted to kick Uzi, but in the end he held back.

In the end, Xiaohu and the others each found a place to start their live streams, leaving Uzi alone there, raging helplessly.

After venting for a while, Uzi saw another barrage of comments in the live stream.

[Oh yeah, right, G2 is trash, then what is RNG? Even worse than trash!]

[Haha, I'm dying of laughter! Even if G2's bot lane isn't strong, they're still Uzi's daddy, you know! GSL, go back to your doghouse, there's no place for you in the LPL anymore.]

In an instant, Uzi, like many GSL players, started yelling wildly again, his teeth itching with hatred.

"You beast!"

Uzi's eyes were filled with resentment. Logically, this scene of being the center of attention should belong to him, Uzi.

Chu Ran stole his championship life.

"You will never win the championship. Wait until next year, wait until next year, I will definitely ruin your reputation."

Uzi made a solemn vow in his heart that he had decided to set his sights on Iceland next year, where he would make the whole world hear his story.

Meanwhile, other regions were buzzing with discussion.

There was congratulations and shock in the LCK region, but also a deep sense of fear.

Of course, what they hope for most is for G2 to reach the finals. That way, after KT defeats IG, they should have a sure win against G2 in the finals.

But now that EDG has made it to the finals again, countless Korean fans are feeling uneasy. They can't help but recall last year's World Championship, where all three teams from their region suffered crushing defeats at the hands of EDG.

Or perhaps it was a crushing defeat at the hands of Chu Ran, after all, Chu Ran was undoubtedly the biggest contributor to EDG's unstoppable momentum in last year's World Championship.

They had originally thought that they wouldn't see Chu Ran again the following year, and even if they faced him again, they wouldn't feel the suffocating pressure of last year.

It's worth noting that during the off-season after last year's World Championship, the player that each team studied the most was Chu Ran, and the data on him was stacked up to several meters high.

However, to the surprise of the world's audience, Chu Ran switched directly from top lane to mid lane this year, catching everyone off guard.

He secretly hoped that Chu Ran wouldn't be as strong as he was last year when playing mid lane.

However, based on the competitions this year and the performance in this World Championship, everyone gradually realized one thing.

Chu Ran is still the same Chu Ran.

Invincible!

At this moment, the fans of Chu Ran and the 'filial son' in the LCK region were shouting and praising Chu Ran and EDG endlessly, which also made other Koreans feel a nameless fire in their hearts.

[Damn it! Can't these people just get out of South Korea?!]

[Fuck you! Even if Easy makes it to the finals, can he beat KT? Do you really think everyone is Faker? That he can become a two-time world champion?]

[The world's best mid laner? Who said that? Did I admit it?!]

What's so great about making it to the finals? They'll just get crushed by KT anyway.

[Hilarious! I understand having EDG fans in our region, but there are even IG fans? IG can beat KT? If IG wins, I'll jump naked from the 30th floor.]

[IG beat KT, and I'm releasing my phone and computer browser history.]

The Korean forums were in an uproar, while the European and American regions fell into silence and tears.

So far, no team from the European and North American regions has made it past the semifinals. With G2's elimination, this year's World Championship has once again left the European and North American regions out of contention.

Shivering and cold.

Even in the sweltering summer heat, viewers from the European and American regions couldn't help but feel their hands and feet grow cold.

When will the European and American regions finally stand up? It's truly a case of empty-handed experts and weaklings everywhere.

With four European and American teams in the quarterfinals this year, none of them made it to the finals, which was quite different from what they had expected before the competition.

Before the competition, everyone in the European and American regions was talking about it.

This year is the most promising year for the European and American regions.

As a result, after today's match, their hard-won hope was ruthlessly extinguished by EDG, who also choked them, leaving them completely breathless.

If the past few years were a time of darkness for the LPL, then these past few years have shown the European and American regions what despair truly means.

The director showed close-ups of Perkz and his teammates' expressions on the big screen. Perkz was seen lying on the bench in pain, and then being comforted by his coach.

Those red, tearful eyes resonated with many viewers.

"Over here, the smile on Ah P's face has disappeared, replaced by endless grief. We have to admit that Ah P is an excellent e-sports professional player."

"But that's how esports is; only five people can ever walk off the stage smiling!"

"However, I think Perkz will become even stronger after experiencing this year's World Championship. We look forward to Perkz and G2's performance next year!"

Let's give a round of applause to Perkz and to G2!

Seeing Perkz on the court, Miller was also filled with emotion, as the smile on Perkz's face had now spread to him.

After he finished speaking, Guan Zeyuan, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement, his excitement still evident in his voice.

"Yes, there can only be one winner in esports, but at least we saw from this match that G2 tried and fought hard. Perhaps the gap in strength was the reason why they stopped here."

"But we also have to admit that G2 is a very strong team this year."

"Let's give a round of applause to G2, and let's give another round of applause to everyone in EDG! Congratulations to EDG for making it to the World Championship finals again! This is not only a big step for the EDG players' professional careers, but also a big step for the entire LPL region!"

"Looking back many years, our LPL teams always stumbled and struggled to reach the finals, but this year is different. We've crushed them all, just like we swept through the World Championship last year. EDG is about to create a new history for the LPL!"

"Yes! This is EDG! A team full of miracles, and their soul, Easy, is an even more miraculous player."

Wang Duoduo raised his arms and shouted, "Even someone as strong as Faker didn't reach the World Championship finals for two consecutive years when he first debuted, let alone achieve a Grand Slam in his debut year!"

"But now, Easy, a player from EDG and from our LPL region, has only been officially a member of the LPL for less than two years, and he is already aiming for his second Grand Slam!"

"Now, he's just one Grand Slam away!! Let's shout his name again!"

"Easy!!"

As Wang Duoduo finished speaking, the entire venue and the live broadcast rooms of various competition areas quietly erupted again, with the barrage of comments surging once more.

[6666! Holy crap, Chu Shen is really just one championship away from winning his second Grand Slam!]

If Chu Shen can win his second Grand Slam, that achievement could surpass Faker's.

"Absolutely! Even Faker hasn't won two Grand Slams, let alone two in a row!"

At this very moment, inside the SKT club.

Faker sat alone in front of the computer, looking at Chu Ran, who was bathed in countless spotlights, his eyes filled with envy and longing.

Of course, there was also a sliver of longing.

"Easy, I hope you can continue to be active on the field next year."

Although he didn't make it to the World Championship this year, Faker is confident that he can go to the World Championship stage next year and defeat Chu Ran head-on.

Even though the whole world thinks that Lee Sang-hyeok is no longer good, Faker himself doesn't think so.

One day, he will reappear on the world stage and prove to the world that the Great Demon King will definitely return.

"Most definitely."

Faker's eyes were fixed on Chu Ran and the others who were cheering together on stage, and he also set his sights on Iceland next year.

Meanwhile, on the stage.

Meiko and the others were hugging Chu Ran and shouting wildly.

"Ran-ge, we've made it to the finals again! We've made it to the finals again!"

You can imagine how excited Meiko must have been. Who would have thought that when he first debuted in the LPL, he was met with skepticism and ridicule from countless viewers?

But now they have grown to the point of advancing to the finals of the World Championship for two consecutive years.

Now Meiko is only thinking about winning the championship again in the finals. He wants to silence the doubters. If winning one championship is not enough, then two... or even three or four!

Until some people are silenced.

If we're really talking about honors, Meiko was the number one player in LPL honors at that time. It's a pity that he didn't become a superstar in LPL just because he was a support player.

"Tianye, can you let go of me? There are so many people watching, what kind of behavior is this!"

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, Meiko immediately hugged Imp, causing Imp to grumble, "Damn it, go hug Kai-ge."

"You little brat, stay away." Mingkai quickly took a step back and raised his hand to refuse.

Seeing the excited scene, Mingkai smiled and felt a surge of emotions.

They've made it to the finals again.

The dream that he could never have before happened to him again, only this time as a coach.

Of course, Mingkai also knows that he has many shortcomings as a coach.

But so what.

At this moment, he is guaranteed to be the world championship runner-up coach, and may even be able to challenge for the ultimate throne that countless coaches envy.

Mingkai's gaze swept across everyone's faces before finally settling on Chu Ran.

Looking back, he even refused Chu Ran's offer to join EDG for Tong Yang's sake. Little did he know that it was because of Chu Ran that they were able to achieve what they have today.

While it can't be said that all the credit goes to Chu Ran, it's safe to say that he deserves a large part of it.

Mingkai thought of his former rivals and old adversaries, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"I've made it to the finals again, how about you guys?"

His former teammates, of course, had no idea what Mingkai was thinking; Xiang Weixiao, Nami, and others were all watching the live stream.

There were congratulations and joy on everyone's faces, but there was also a lot of sighing.

Although everyone says Mingkai is useless, he is actually stronger than many people, at least stronger than them, because none of them lasted until S7.

"Kai, what are you thinking about?"

Chu Ran's words brought him back to his senses, and Ming Kai quickly said, "You've made it to the finals again! I'm so happy! Xiao Ran, what are you thinking now? Aren't you tired of winning so many championships?"

Why do you get tired of it?

Seeing Mingkai's surprised expression, Chu Ran smiled knowingly, "I play professionally to make money, to make more money, and to keep winning championships so that I can keep making money."

"Moreover, I enjoy being admired by thousands of people."

At this point, Chu Ran raised his hands, and the director, understanding the situation perfectly, quickly focused the spotlight back on Chu Ran.

On the big screen, Chu Ran appeared with her head slightly tilted back, looking up at the sky, her hands raised high.

His black team uniform, paired with his handsome face, and his spirited demeanor captivated countless viewers, charming countless young women. Of course, there were also young men and young women.

Immediately afterwards, praise erupted from both the venue and the live stream!

"Damn it, Chu Shen is putting on an act again." Imp pouted, forcibly suppressing the urge to cry.

He kept reminding himself that he was already a senior professional and needed to pay attention to his image, but his tear ducts were completely out of his control.

How long.

After winning the S4 World Championship, he came to LPL and joined LGD.

S5 was the year he reached the peak of his strength and the year he was most ambitious. However, he was defeated by three blows and almost had his Dao heart shattered.

After a two-year slump, he unexpectedly joined EDG this year and is once again making a run for his long-awaited second championship.

Thinking about this, Imp has to thank Deft. If it weren't for Deft and Pawn's strong recommendation and Chu Ran's guarantee, Imp might not have been able to come to EDG, who had already won the world championship.

However, this also caused hardship for one person: Iboy.

By this time, Iboy should have become a rising star in the LPL, but he's still stuck in the second team.

"Pfft, are you going to cry?"

"I didn't, don't yell at me like that, what do you know? I just got sand in my eye."

Upon hearing Meiko's words, Imp rattled off a string of words, then smiled at the camera shining on him.

Imp hopes his former teammates will see this so he can share in their joy.

This is true.

At this moment, Emmy, Hirano Aya, and others were cheering for Imp, even though some optimistic family fans were somewhat unhappy with EDG because of Chu Ran and Jiao Yue's issues.

However, Imp has inherited their love for LGD. Nowadays, of the former LGD players, only Imp is still active in the professional league.

"Go, Pupu! You have to win the championship in this final!"

Godv was as excited as a child at his own livestream location.

Although people online say he was a deserter, there's one thing no one can deny: if he didn't truly love it, who would have chosen to play professionally back then?

Back then, professional salaries were nowhere near as high as they are now; you could say that if you didn't achieve good results, you'd have to retire and go to work in a factory.

You may doubt the character and skill of the older generation of esports players, but one thing is beyond doubt.

They all once loved the game League of Legends and esports.

Oh, except for Taobao rights.

In an instant, Godv also took the opportunity to talk about some inside stories from back then, and the popularity of his live stream quickly soared.

Meanwhile, Crystal, Zz1tai, Sofm, and others were all watching Flandre, who was sitting quietly on the stage with a joyful expression on his face.

"God, this batch of players like Saint Gun can all make it to the finals!"

"When I was a professional gamer, he was just a little kid. He didn't know what the chat was saying. Back then, Li Xuanjun had to call me 'brother' when he saw me. If I asked him to pour me some water, he would happily go and do it!"

As Crystal was speaking, he suddenly noticed a comment in the live stream chat.

So? In which year did you reach the World Championship Finals?

The next second, Crystal Bro broke down and howled in the live stream.

As if by telepathy, Flandre on stage suddenly burst out laughing, which quickly aroused the curiosity of Spicy Hot Pot. "Flandre, what are you laughing at?"

"No, I was just thinking about what my old teammates would look like when they see me in the World Championship finals. Just thinking about Sofm makes me want to laugh."

"A noble jungler, huh?"

Even the spicy hot pot couldn't help but drift its thoughts to distant places.

If he hadn't joined EDG this year, he wouldn't have achieved what he has this year.

If he hadn't joined EDG, he might still be at RNG this year, putting up with that chubby guy, and then being eliminated by G2 in the quarterfinals, becoming a laughing stock in the entire region.

Or perhaps, he will be forced to retire by RNG, and then owe tens of millions of yuan in debt that he will never be able to pay off in his lifetime.

In short, Spicy Hot Pot should really thank Chu Ran and EDG. Just thinking about the expressions on the faces of the RNG players makes Spicy Hot Pot want to sing a song and slap them hard across the face.

"Thank you, Master Chu."

"Don't be shy, just remember to give me half of the bonus later." Chu Ran waved his hand, calmed himself down a bit, and said again, "Let's go shake hands and see if Ah P is still smiling."

“If he can still laugh, I’ll take his surname,” Meiko said with a smack of her lips, quite amused.

Immediately afterward, amidst a wave of endless cheers and under the spotlight of all the spectators, Chu Ran and the others walked towards the G2 booth.

The first thing that came into view was Wunder, whose hair was a mess and whose eyes were red, clearly indicating that he had been crying.

Upon seeing Chu Ran and the others arrive, he stood up like a walking corpse, staring intently at Holy Gun Bro and Chu Ran.

In today's World Championship, he was still thinking of crushing Flandre, hoping that Chu Ran would come to lane against him, and then he would crush Chu Ran.

Wunder is very ambitious.

He wants to prove to the world that their top laners from the European and American regions are no weaker than anyone else.

结果
Even Saint Gun couldn't beat him; his Dao heart shattered.

"Let it settle down and see how things develop. Maybe there will be opportunities in the future."

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, Wunder's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone was even full of expectation as he stared at Chu Ran and said, "Easy, do I really have a chance?"

It's important to know that although Chu Ran switched to mid lane this year, and even though many people are thinking of solo-killing Chu Ran, it's undeniable that Chu Ran's top lane skill level is the ultimate goal for many top lane players and professionals.

Hearing Chu Ran's affirmation, Wunder felt his confidence soar.

"Yes, brother, I have it."

Upon hearing this, Wunder seemed to be injected with adrenaline, his expression turning rosy, which surprised Chu Ran.

Chu Ran then expressed his approval of Jankos, which greatly excited him.

The next second, looking at Perkz, Chu Ran said in a deep voice, "You played well, try harder next time. But you still need to practice Yasuo more, you've ruined my championship skin."

"."

Perkz's face visibly flushed, and then he gritted his teeth, "I'll lose next time."

"Keep it up! I hope you'll have another chance to challenge me, and that next time I can give it my all."

"Fuck!"

After Chu Ran and G2's bot lane duo exchanged fist bumps, watching his departing figure, Perkz and the others all spit out a curse.

"What is this guy pretending for?!"

"Does having power give you the right to show off?!"

"I'm so annoyed!"

"There's nothing we can do. He's just so much stronger than us. Why is it that he's from the same era as us? It's such a terrible feeling."

Hjarnan shook his head and sighed.

Based on average data, a player's peak period is only one to two years, after which it will end due to various reasons.

Inevitably, their performance will decline, and they will eventually lose their former glory, just like Faker did last year.

So if Chu Ran had reached his peak a few years later, or if his peak period had already passed, G2 might not have lost today.

"He'll have a chance next year. His form should decline next year! Next year, G2 will wash away today's shame!"

After shaking hands, Chu Ran and his group went to the center of the stage and bowed deeply to the audience.

Spotlights, flashes, shutter sounds, and cheers converged once again, sweeping wildly towards the five spirited young men on the stage.

The waves of excitement continued unabated at the venue and in various competition areas, and Guan Zeyuan and others in the commentary booth once again let out high-pitched exclamations in their hoarse voices.

"Oh! Let's give EDG another round of applause and cheers to congratulate them on reaching the finals of this year's World Championship!"

"This team from the LPL region is the epitome of miracles; they are the best five players!"

"So at this moment, we can proudly and confidently say that sentence!"

Guan Zeyuan took a deep breath, then roared with all his might, "This year...is the LPL's most promising year!!"

"A true man's ambition lies in all directions! Today, I draw my sword and point it at Busan!" Wang Duoduo's poetic inspiration, seizing the opportunity, instantly ignited the entire LPL.

[66666! Great poem! Great poem!]

[Teacher Duo Duo is incredibly talented!!]

[Hey Wang Duoduo, what are you implying?]

Haha, some people are really aiming for Busan, but others are already aiming for Iceland.

This is what you call being one step ahead!

[Bengbu has taken action; being one step ahead means being caught in the shockwave!]

The online discussions once again broke GSL's spirits, but they could only keep quiet and secretly curse EDG for failing in the finals.

Even if we advance to the finals now, it will all be in vain if we don't win the championship.

The moment the match ended, LPL forums exploded, with the homepage trending topics all about EDG defeating G2 and advancing to the finals.

Such immense popularity has also attracted the attention of countless veteran players, with some returning last year and others remaining on the sidelines.

They were truly disappointed with the LPL, but seeing EDG reach the finals again today made them more excited than ever.

Before long, the topic was being hotly discussed on forums like Anti-Fighting Forum, Hupu, Weibo, and QQ groups, and even the League of Legends servers experienced queues again.

At the same time, in the backstage lounge.

The KT players couldn't help but gasp in amazement as they watched EDG leave the stage.

"They're really strong, EDG, but I feel like we can beat them."

Ucal said this. The stronger Chu Ran became, the more it aroused his competitive spirit. He wanted to defeat Chu Ran honorably in the finals.

Then who will dare say he isn't the world's best mid laner this year?

Ucal is going to become the second Faker in the LCK!

"Indeed, we can disband now. Go back and study IG properly," KT's head coach nodded.

No sooner had he said that than Mata confidently chimed in, "IG doesn't need much analysis; they can win if they play normally tomorrow."

"What do you think, Hyuk?"

"It should be fine, right?" Deft's words were full of confidence; he felt that beating Jackeylove shouldn't be a problem.

As long as the upper and middle lanes are stable, everything will be fine.

“That’s right, but I do hope IG can give me a surprise tomorrow.” Semb stood up, patted his thigh, and looked relaxed. “Otherwise, it’ll be too boring.”

"Don't worry, we'll give KT, and even the whole world, a surprise tomorrow."

On the other side, Rooike was also very confident, "Let EDG wait for us in the finals, we IG will definitely win the championship this year."

"That's a must!"

Ning Mazi shouted loudly, "IG will definitely win the championship this year, no one can stop them, I said it."

Chu Ran and the others were naturally unaware of their thoughts. Back in the backstage lounge, their excitement was fully revealed.

The entire backstage area was filled with Meiko and the others' roars, which only quieted down for a moment when the host, Xiaoyu, came over to invite Churan for an interview.

Unsurprisingly, Chu Ran won the MVP award in the third game. Despite dying once, his final backline-cutting and landing with the Golden Body card left a lasting impression on many viewers.

Many viewers remained in the live stream room to watch Chu Ran's post-match interview.

Sure enough, when Chu Ran and Xiao Yu appeared at the interview booth, the scene and the live broadcast room became lively once again.

"Dear viewers both here and watching on screen, we are honored to have Easy, the mid-laner from EDG, here for our post-match interview. Easy, please say hello to everyone."

"Hello everyone, I'm Easy."

His handsome face and gentle smile caused many of Chu Ran's international fans at the scene to scream wildly.

"Okay, first of all, congratulations to EDG for defeating G2 and advancing to the World Championship finals once again. Now, Eays, you are only one step away from your second Grand Slam. How do you feel right now?"

Chu Ran picked up the microphone, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "I don't really have much of a mood for it, because I was already mentally prepared to win my second Grand Slam."

"Beating G2 isn't enough to cause me a big psychological reaction, because my expectations are already higher than that."

"Hmm." Xiaoyu smiled sweetly. "So Easy means that defeating G2 is only natural, and that G2 wasn't considered your biggest rival from the beginning, right?"

"You can't say that."

Chu Ran slowly said, "I can only say that none of the teams in this year's World Championship were considered my opponents."

hiss!
In an instant, Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes widened, and like countless other viewers, she gasped sharply.

His expression then became extremely shocking.

The next second, cheers and angry shouts erupted almost simultaneously, and all the competition areas were instantly thrown into an uproar.

[6666! This is the God of Chu!]

[Chu Shen: I'm not just targeting G2, I'm saying all teams this year are trash!]

[He's incredibly arrogant, but God Chu has every right to be so!]

[Damn it! You're from the noobish LPL region, what are you pretending for! If you're so good at pretending, why don't we see you taking all the garbage off the planet?]

[You jerk, are you going to die if you don't act tough? You say no team is worthy of being your opponent? If you lose to KT in the finals, I'll roast you alive.]

[Waiting for the boomerang to come; I think it will be very difficult for EDG to beat KT.]

[It's not difficult at all, it's practically impossible. KT is the strongest team in the LCK this year. Does anyone really think the LCK region has fallen?]

Chu Ran's words reached Perkz and the others' ears, making them grit their teeth in anger backstage.

"Fuck you!"

"God will punish him in the final!"

At that moment, there was a tens of seconds of silence in the interview area before Xiaoyu finally reacted, "Easy is very confident. In the other semi-final match tomorrow, KT or IG, which team are you more looking forward to as your final opponent?"

"Well, either way is fine. It's 3-0 no matter who comes. If I had to choose one, I'd pick IG. It's not because I think they're stronger, but simply because I want an LPL internal battle in the LCK's home finals."

As soon as Chu Ran finished speaking, Xiao Yu's eyes immediately turned to terror.

She really wanted to sew Chu Ran's mouth shut with tape. If KT won tomorrow, that would be fine, but if KT lost...

I wonder what those extreme LCK fans will do.

Even now, after they understood Chu Ran's words through translation, the entire Korean internet exploded instantly.

[Damn it! What are you yelling about here?!]

[Is anyone going to let this guy try his luck?! He's insulting our LCK! This guy must die!]

[Damn it! If the finals really are an LPL internal battle, I'll make sure no one from the LPL leaves Korea alive!]

[Fuck fuck fuck! Can't we just start the finals right now? I want to see KT smash his mouth in!]

The barrage comments from various competition areas sparked widespread discussion.

Hearing Chu Ran's words, Ning Mazi was quite displeased. "Gou Ba is really good at pretending. He said it's 3-0 no matter who comes. Does he think our IG is still the same as before?"

"This guy is really over the top, even more so than me," Jackeylove remarked. "Since he likes to show off so much, let him show off during the finals, okay?"

"But what it contains isn't a cup, it contains his shattered Dao heart!"

As Jackeylove finished speaking, Xiaoyu in the interview booth asked her last question.

"The last question is about G2. Many viewers have said that it was a pity that G2 made it to the finals today. They felt that they could have made it to the finals and opened a new chapter for the European and American regions."

"Judging from today's match, Perkz actually performed quite well, but Easy's dominance was too strong, which made Perkz's performance seem mediocre. What are your thoughts on this? Please give your evaluation of Perkz."

"There's not much to say about it."

Chu Ran shrugged. "Perkz is a player with no weaknesses."

At this point, Chu Ran changed the subject, "But he doesn't have any particularly outstanding qualities either."

"He's not suited for the mid lane position. I suggest that Perkz consider moving to the AD position and becoming a true priest."

Quiet.

It's even quieter than a library.

Xiao Yu was truly terrified at this moment. Her beautiful face was now pale and she wanted to escape from Chu Ran's side as quickly as possible.

The silence lasted for an unknown period of time, then it was like a deep-sea bomb detonating.

Bang it!
Chu Ran's words ignited a huge uproar across all the major competition regions!
