LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 304 My dream has not yet been realized, and I will continue to be the insurmountable peak in the world!
Inside the Incheon Hall, colorful spotlights shone on a young man in black in the center of the stage, while countless audience members below waved their hands wildly and cheered for him.

"God Chu!"

"Easy!"

The shouts were incessant, creating a deafening sound wave that seemed to imply an attempt to overthrow the guild hall.

Chu Ran's words had just made countless viewers feel their blood boil, as if electric currents were running through their bodies, making their limbs feel a little numb.

In the live broadcast rooms of various events, the barrage of comments is endless, and praise is springing up like mushrooms after rain, dazzling the eyes.

[6666! This is the confidence Chu Shen has when she uses Pantene shampoo!]

[Wow, when others say this, it's considered showing off, but not Chu Shen. He's not faking it; he really does it!]

Standing before you now is the 2017 and 2018 League of Legends World Championship Finals MVP!

[There's no room for all of us, holy crap! Were you talking about the same person?]

[There are still science enthusiasts who are being stubborn. Your Mr. Dafei is already in his grave, yet he's still considered the world's number one. I'm thinking, isn't a two-time Grand Slam double champion more valuable than Mr. Dafei's ancient three-time champion?]

Upon seeing these words, many Faker fans were immediately angered and launched into a tirade of insults.

[You're kidding me, what are you going to do about it? Even if I have one more crown than that beast, let him try to win the triple crown himself!]

[Exactly, what's so convincing about winning a second championship through a civil war?]

[IG is so bad they're practically unplayable; even with two world championships, they don't deserve my approval.]

[So what if you're a two-time world champion? Does that make you the best player in the world? You still have to call Faker "daddy"!]

Han Xiaozi's words resonated with many GSL members and some of the "chicken fans," who immediately changed their identities and became members of the "science fans."

This infuriated Chu Ran's fans, as all sorts of questions about the value of the gold medal arose after the victory.

Unlike the LPL, the European and American regions have a high regard for Chu Ran. Although some people there believe that even if Chu Ran wins his second championship this year, Faker still holds the title of the number one player in League of Legends.

However, most people still support Chu Ran.

In terms of visual appeal, professional career, and highlights, Chu Ran is only one championship behind Faker.

However, everyone should understand one fact: Chu Ran has only been in the industry for two years, and he can't even win three championships.

In addition, Faker didn't even make it to the World Championship this year, so no matter how you look at it, Chu Ran deserves the title of the world's number one League of Legends player.

Of course, this is also because Chu Ran won over most of the audience with her strength.

Meiko has an MSI championship more than Chu Ran, but if someone says he is the world's number one, almost no one will agree.

Meanwhile, the LCK region was filled with anger, with everyone gritting their teeth in fury.

Their LCK region has only temporarily become weaker, but it's not dead yet. Faker hasn't retired yet. Where did Chu Ran come from to be the world's number one? He doesn't get their recognition at all.

[Damn it! What is this guy pretending for? We in the LCK may lack many things, but we certainly don't lack two-time world champions!]

[I don't know what's so great about being a two-time champion. Once Faker comes back, he'll know how big the difference is between a two-time champion and a three-time champion.]

[This year, LPL was lucky; SKT didn't make it to Worlds. Otherwise, they wouldn't have the opportunity to stand on that stage now.]

[The more I talk about it, the angrier I get! This year's teams are all shockwaves!]

At this point, many Koreans immediately started attacking the three clubs: GenG, KT, and AFS.

If they hadn't performed so poorly, they wouldn't have lost the championship on their home turf this year, nor would they have inflicted another deep shame on LCK history.

On the competition field, Mingkai and the others stared at Chu Ran with rather shocked expressions.

They sensed something unusual about Chu Ran; it was his unparalleled confidence.

Yu Shuang and the Korean female host were also a little stunned, but they quickly recovered. Then Yu Shuang translated the question again, "Okay, God Chu, I didn't expect you to be so confident."

"However, many people say that the reason you were able to win two championships so easily this year is because SKT, led by Faker, did not participate in this year's World Championship."

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing this question, Chu Ran pondered for a few seconds, then slowly placed the microphone in his hand to his mouth and said firmly, "I haven't watched much."

"Even if SKT makes it to the World Championship this year, they still won't be a match for us. As everyone knows, SKT has never beaten me before, and they never will!"

"If SKT is so strong, why don't they come to Worlds? Don't they want to?"

After Chu Ran translated it in Chinese, she immediately repeated it in Korean. After all, it was Yu Shuang's job to translate, and Chu Ran didn't want to take away her job.

When Chu Ran's loud and clear voice exploded in the hall, the scene and the live broadcast room immediately fell into an uproar, and many Koreans turned red with anger.

Inside the venue, the angry shouts of the South Koreans echoed, and some even threw their water bottles onto the stage.

If they could, they would even like to rush onto the stage and give Chu Ran a good beating.

[Damn it! Can't you just shut him up?! Shut him up!]

[Damn it! Damn it! This Easy guy is definitely a spy sent by the other side. I suggest we arrest him and shoot him!]

I'm making sure Easy doesn't leave this venue alive today.

[Hahaha, Chu Shen is awesome! He really went all out at point-blank range, huh?]

[Han Xiaozi and his ilk are giving me a piece of their minds. What do you mean it's just because Faker didn't come? Why didn't he come? Did he not want to come?]

[This is hilarious! You say the World Championship without SKT is the least prestigious, but last year's championship with SKT was also considered worthless.]

At this moment, the live stream chat rooms for various sports events are filled with a frenzy of scrolling comments.

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, the SKT club's management turned ashen with anger and immediately made a bold statement, vowing to teach Chu Ran a lesson next year.

It's true that just because SKT hasn't made it to the World Championship for a year, all sorts of nobodies are starting to try and take advantage of them.

At the same time, on stage, the South Korean female host turned pale, her eyes already seeing Little Pearl, and she realized she had said the wrong thing.

It's important to understand that LCK is quite different from LPL. In LPL, initiating a team fight might at most result in getting destroyed, but in LCK, it could be like having a live boxing match.

Looking at Chu Ran's handsome face, she didn't know why, but just a moment ago she had felt a little attracted, but now she only felt dizzy and nauseous.

Is it a human?
Can you be a little more humble?

Do you even want to leave South Korea alive after doing this?

When Mingkai and the others saw this, they looked at each other in surprise, but they quickly calmed down, as they were already used to this kind of thing.

Just like Yu Shuang standing on the stage, although she was still somewhat taken aback, the incident of being shocked by netizens because of her interview with Chu Ran happened almost every day.

For a moment, the South Korean female host choked up, forced a smile, and asked the last question.

"Okay, so Easy, now that you've won two championships, what are your plans for the future of your career? Will you continue playing, or will you retire now?"

“I see many fans discussing this, saying that you have already started thinking about retiring.”

Upon hearing this question, the world fell silent, everyone wanting an answer from Chu Ran.

In fact, most people hope that Chu Ran can retire. After all, Chu Ran is like a mountain pressing down on the hearts of all professional players in several major regions, making it impossible for them to breathe.

Chu Ran thought for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, saying, "These are all rumors. It's not that I'm not focused on my profession anymore, but rather that I can't find any rivals among the current professional players."

"It's lonely at the top, but I still love this game. If possible, I will continue to work in the League of Legends esports industry, settle down here, and realize my dream."

"May I ask, Easy, what is your dream?"

The question had barely been asked when Chu Ran blurted out, "I want to become a six-time champion, a peak that no professional player in history can ever surpass!"

hiss!
The moment Chu Ran's loud and clear voice echoed across the scene, everyone in the world gasped in astonishment, completely speechless.

The main problem is that Chu Ran's dream is too exaggerated.

You know, Faker only has three world championships, but Chu Ran wants six. That's like having two Fakers.

is it possible?

That's obviously impossible.

Even though Faker and Bengi's three world championships are already incredible, it would be extremely difficult for them to win another one.

Bengi has even retired to become a coach, and Faker, in terms of age in the esports world, is already considered an old man with one foot in the grave.

Many netizens believe that Faker is just being stubborn, refusing to admit that he has become worse or retire, especially given his performance this year, which has been seen as occupying a position without contributing anything.

Regarding Faker's previous statement that he would win his fourth championship, everyone expressed skepticism.

If Harden can win four more championships, then everyone in the professional scene will play until they can't play anymore before retiring, and there will be no opportunity for newcomers to debut.

[You idiot! Who do you think you are? Six titles? Two titles is already your best result, achieved through luck!]

If I were that kind of person, I'd retire as soon as possible, so I can at least preserve some of my reputation and not ruin it later in life.

[Hey bastard, what are you pretending for? What have those two championships brought you? So confident? Are you living in a dream?]

[This is a diagnosis of mental illness, confirmed. He's gone mad.]

The barrage was in an uproar.

Who would have thought that Chu Ran would still want to compete for that sixth championship? Even if Chu Ran continues to win championships starting next year, he will be in his mid-twenties, and his performance will decline uncontrollably at that time.

It's uncertain whether they can continue to perform so strongly and enter the World Championship.

Despite the shock of the crowd, the applause and cheers were still given without any shortage of praise. Everyone has dreams, and Chu Ran was no exception.

He only wants to win six championships. No matter how strong LCK becomes in the future, his six championships will be enough to shut LCK up. More importantly, even Faker's flattery can't catch up with him.

Countless spotlights were once again focused on Chu Ran, and a close-up of his slender figure appeared on the big screen, immediately causing a group of female fans to scream wildly.

If Chu Ran wanted, he could sleep with one of his fans later.

Of course, Chu Ran considered himself a person of integrity, and he was different from some LPL players who specialized in manipulating fans.

At this moment, the cheers from the audience continued, and everyone on the stage was taken aback by Chu Ran's words.

Countless reporters and media outlets quickly grabbed their cameras, shutters clicking and flashes going off one after another, all in an effort to capture this moment and then grab the top spot on the trending topics.

A moment later, the South Korean host gave the final summary.

"Let's congratulate EDG, the world champions, once again! They've achieved a grand slam this year, which is simply unbelievable!"

"We would also like to thank everyone who contributed to this year's finals. And now this year's World Championship has come to a complete end. Congratulations to EDG for winning two consecutive championships and making a perfect exit!"

So, see you next time... in Iceland!

With the female host and many others translating, the scene and the live broadcast room were like boiling water, completely boiling over.

On stage, Chu Ran and the others carried the trophy and walked backstage. Uzi, sitting in the front row of the audience, stared at Chu Ran's back with his eyes red and his jealousy was frightening.

See you at the All-Star Game, guys!

[Hilarious, GSL is about to start manipulating votes again.]

[Given the sheer volume of vote-buying in GSL, Uzi will likely be inducted into something Riot Games specifically created for him, similar to the NBA Hall of Fame.]

[An insurmountable peak, Chu Shen's talent is boundless!]

In an instant, music filled the entire Incheon Hall. The S8 theme song "Rise" was played again, and the K/DA girl group took to the stage and swayed with the lead singer, completely igniting the enthusiasm of countless viewers.

After the final performance, the South Korean female host shouted loudly.

"Congratulations on the perfect conclusion of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship!"

Upon hearing this, applause and cheers erupted, creating a joyful wave that swept in all directions.

Chu Ran and the others swaggered into EDG's backstage area, carrying the championship trophy. Upon seeing Abu, Chu Ran smiled and asked, "Well, what do you think? I deserved the FMVP award, didn't I?"

"Unexpected."

To be honest, Abu thought the match would be dragged to a fifth and decisive game by IG, but he didn't expect that Chu Ran's superb laning skills, team fight timing, and control of the rhythm would lead to a 3-0 victory.

Upon seeing Chu Ran and the others return backstage, Abu was the first to jump up excitedly. He immediately took the championship trophy from Chu Ran's hands, held it above his head, and shouted loudly, "We are the champions again!"

"Next time, we will definitely win the championship again!" Meiko clenched her fists and said with some confidence.

"We will always be champions!"

Mala Xiangguo sat on the sofa, raising his arms and shouting. After all, they had won the championship. Who wouldn't be happy?

At this moment, Mala Xiangguo's thoughts became much clearer. He knew that his condition over the past two years had been excellent, and he could say that he had reached his peak.

If he continues fighting, he might really ruin his reputation in his later years.

So Mala Xiangguo wants to take advantage of winning the championship this year, while he still has some fame and fans, and then sign a big contract for the next two years to retire and enjoy his retirement.

Imp shares the same idea. Imp has really burned out this year, and he plans to take advantage of the remaining value of his money and renew his contract next year to retire.

Of course, these were all thoughts deep in their hearts, and no one said them aloud.

"Ran-ge, why did you say you wanted to become a six-time champion? Why six of all?"

Seeing Meiko's confusion, Chu Ran's lips curled up slightly. "You don't understand. Six is ​​enough. I believe no one can reach that level."

Upon hearing this, Abu's eyes flickered and his brows furrowed. He didn't want Chu Ran to leave, but it seemed there was no way to stop her. He exchanged a glance with Ming Kai, who shrugged, indicating that he was also powerless to help.

Abu sighed inwardly, then immediately broke into an excited smile. "Everyone, let's not stay here any longer. The celebration banquet is already arranged. Now put everything down and go eat to our hearts' content!"

"The club will cover all expenses tonight!"

Imp and his team immediately became excited, especially Imp, who pulled out several bottles of good wine from somewhere. He had been abstaining from alcohol for a long time in preparation for winning the championship this year.

Having already won the championship today, he naturally wants to drink and celebrate.

Inside a private room at a high-end restaurant, Chu Ran and the others were laughing heartily. Meiko, her face flushed, said, "Ran-ge, look at this, hahaha, how come Uzi won the trophy again? So he wins the trophy every time he wins a championship, right?"

Chu Ran looked at Meiko's phone screen and saw the funny photoshopped pictures posted by netizens, which had become a regular feature after every major competition.

Originally, it was a group photo of Chu Ran and his team holding the trophy, but netizens photoshopped the trophy off their heads. Instead, a chubby guy wearing an RNG team uniform was seen holding the trophy high below the stage, which made many netizens burst into laughter.

[Hahaha, the Void Eight-Time Champion!]

This is absolutely hilarious! The netizens are truly amazing!

[This is our eternal god! Jian Zihao! His speed in stealing trophies is absolutely top-notch!]

[I'm so tired of laughing. When will I finally see God truly lift a trophy?]

Besides, the trending topics on major forums have exploded. Clicking through, all the related keywords are about EDG's championship win and Chu Ran and others. #EDGWinsAgain,SecondTimeChampion!#
#Unprecedented! Two World Championship Finals MVPs in League of Legends history!#
#The name of Chu Shen is known throughout the world! Today, we'll focus on introducing who Chu Shen really is!#
#IG Apologizes! Expresses deep regret for the unsuccessful Incheon landing!#
The match between IG and EDG was jokingly referred to by many netizens as the 'Incheon Landing'. Chu Ran found IG's official Weibo account and discovered that they had edited a very long text.

Weibo - IG Official Esports Club:
Thank you for the support of the audience and fans throughout the year. It is truly disappointing for our fans to lose to EDG in today's finals. However, the IG club as a whole will learn from this experience and strive to achieve better results next year. In addition, congratulations to EDG and Easy. IG does not agree with the comments made by some people on the Internet that this championship was not of great value.

The teams at this year's World Championship are all very strong. Don't assume the overall level of the World Championship is lower just because some teams didn't qualify or were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
Our IG runner-up was also very skilled.

Below this Weibo post, numerous comments emerged, with many humorists and fans leaving their mark.

[Runner-up? You're really bold, what are you implying on IG? Are you suggesting that some runner-up finishes aren't worthwhile?]

[Haha, can some of the teams eliminated in the quarterfinals just show their ID cards?]

[Han Xiaozi and GSL, don't worry, we know you're anxious, but you keep saying this year's finals have no merit, and yet no LCK team made it to the finals, and RNG lost to G2. Did they not want to make it to the finals? Or were they just too bad to make it?]

[Damn it! IG, you're so arrogant for getting second place! Just because you beat two LCK teams doesn't mean your achievement is more prestigious!]

[Seriously, I'm disgusted. Is it okay for anyone to step on a puppy now? Back when the puppy was the runner-up, your IG was just eating shit!]

[A team like Green Hat Dragon's, supported by trash like Tumor, doesn't even deserve to be compared to Dog.]

"Dogs fight dogs."

Spicy Hot Pot commented, which immediately made Chu Ran laugh, "Teacher Pot's assessment is very accurate, it really is a dog-eat-dog situation. But if IG doesn't win the championship this time, can their club still survive?"

"It doesn't matter, their boss is rich."

Upon hearing Meiko's words, Chu Ran smiled slightly, thinking that even the boss might not be rich anymore.

After the topic was dropped, Chu Ran and the others turned their attention to the rating thread on Hupu (a popular Chinese online forum). With a total of one to two hundred thousand people participating in the rating, it was considered a very representative rating thread.

【Theshy】

[5 points. He was supposed to be the world's best top laner, but he played like a zombie in this BO5 finals. In the third game, he was even countered and crushed by Chu Shen.]

[3 points, horse-faced? Horse head! Doesn't look human!]

[I'd give it a 7 out of 10. The first two rounds were alright, but the third round was inhuman. I'd take the poet's shot.]

【Ning】

[0 points. He has more freckles on his face than on his brain.]

[3 points, buying so many trendy shoes every day just to rack up steps in the wilderness.]

[2 points. Ning Mazi was farming jungle camps to raise money for his girlfriend's dowry, but after raising enough money, his girlfriend didn't want to get married because they didn't win the championship.]

"Holy shit! What an idiot!"

While Chu Ran and the others were looking at the rating post, Ning Mazi and his group returned to their hotel dejectedly.

Without winning the championship, there's no celebration banquet. I just went back to my room, ordered takeout, and waited for the boss to call a meeting so I could get a scolding.

When Ning Mazi saw these comments from netizens, his eyes immediately turned bloodshot. "Do these idiots even know how to play games? Losing the game is my fault, isn't it? Class A war criminals?"

The more Ning Mazi thought about it, the angrier he became. He started cursing in his own thread on Anti-Japanese Bar and Hupu, which resulted in him being exposed by netizens.

[What's your rush? Is Ning Mazi your father? Or are you Ning Mazi? Your exasperated state is just like Ning Mazi's.]

[Haha, I'm speechless now, I guess it's true. Ning Mazi, when are you getting married? I'll send you gifts as a dowry.]

"Oh dear, why aren't you getting married? So your girlfriend doesn't want to marry you because you're not a champion. Well, you'll probably never get married in this lifetime."

"Male Gobi!"

boom!
Ning Mazi was furious. He threw his phone away, and it crashed to the ground with a loud bang, causing the temperature in the entire IG training room to rise rapidly.

With his face flushed red, Ning Mazi's chest heaved, his eyes glared angrily, and his fists clenched tightly. Right now, all he wanted to do was to unleash the straightforwardness and boldness typical of Northeasterners.

"What's there to be angry about? I'm not like you."

Rooike's face was pale, and a shadow still hung over him. He had missed his closest chance to win the championship and was now facing a barrage of criticism from netizens.

It's only been half an hour since the final ended, and he's already received tens of thousands of private messages. It seems like these fans are even angrier than he is when they see him lose.

【Rooike】

[4 points. Did he really give it his all today?]

[3 points. Is it because you talked to Xiaoyu that you're completely ruined? Did you spend the night with that damn Xiaoyu at the hotel the night before the finals, so you didn't wake up properly for today's match?]

[3 points, a roadside animal that His Highness Chu casually ran over.]

"Yeah, look how good my mindset is. We lost this year, but I'll adjust well. I'll be waiting for you to carry me to new heights."

Jackeylove's lips twitched as he offered Ning Mazi a few words of comfort. His and Baolan's ratings were even more abstract, with almost none exceeding 3 points.

[2 points. What does it mean to be both the chosen one and the only one? Does it deserve that title?]

[0 points. Looks good but is useless. He'd be better off staying on Douyu as a small streamer, hoping to make a name for himself, but he messed up the competition terribly.]

[1 point. Terrible support player. I don't even want to comment on him.]

[1 point. Only knows how to play Rakan. Ban Rakan and he'll retire on the spot.]

"I just can't stand the faces of these people. Before the game, they kept saying they supported us, but now that we've lost, they start cursing us. You don't know how many private messages I have, there are already hundreds of thousands, and it's still growing."

Jakceylove and Rooike exchanged a glance and chuckled to themselves.

Ning Mazi, you've consumed so much of the traffic generated by Hei Churan, it's no wonder you're getting a backlash now. Haven't you seen how busy Su Xiaoluo is right now? The club has been attacked, and his various accounts and private messages have been flooded with insults from netizens.

Moreover, many previously agreed-upon endorsements have expressed their intention to cancel their collaborations, since Chu Ran is now the benchmark for the LPL.

Just as they were discussing this, a sudden post on Weibo attracted the attention of countless people.

"Hey, Ran-ge, the official sports website has posted an update."

Upon hearing Meiko's words, everyone quickly opened their phones, found the official Weibo post, and discovered that they were congratulating EDG and expressing their appreciation for Chu Ran.

In the recently concluded 2018 League of Legends World Championship, EDG, led by our national player Chu Ran, once again won the World Championship title. We hope that the team and players will continue their efforts and achieve even greater glory. We also hope that other players and teams can learn from Chu Ran and EDG and strive to become the pride of our national esports.

"Holy crap, Ran-ge, you've been officially called out again!" Meiko exclaimed, her tone filled with envy. Chu Ran had experienced this opportunity several times before, while they had all just been there to make up the numbers.

"Being low-key is normal, isn't it?" Chu Ran said modestly, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at the disdainful looks from Ming Kai and the others.

The official mention of Chu Ran again caused a huge uproar in China. Many entertainment stars had never played the game League of Legends and didn't even know who Chu Ran was.

Anyway, if it's officially endorsed, following suit is definitely the right thing to do.

Immediately, Weibo was filled with posts from many celebrities congratulating Chu Ran and EDG, making EDG and Chu Ran popular again. This led some people to frantically search for Chu Ran's professional career.

They actually found it after searching around.

They found Chu Ran's video on a video blogger who specializes in featuring esports figures, and it had already garnered millions of views on a single platform.

"Chu Ran, born in 1998, is from Hunan Province. A chance encounter led him to a professional esports career. His first team was RNG, where he joined as a youth training player. However, he never got a chance to play, and because he was disliked by a certain ADC, he was successfully kicked out of RNG. This marked the beginning of a turning point in his professional career. From that moment on, RNG still didn't realize what kind of monster they had let go of."

Under the comments section of this video, RNG and Uzi also became incredibly popular, but in a reversed way.

[Some new players might not know who a certain AD is, so let me introduce him. He's the world's number one ADC, having played professionally for many years without a single championship. He's been hyped up based on his two runner-up finishes, but in reality, he's the world's number one Shockwave. And his father has countless scandals, including being fed milk in the middle of the game and AFK while taking a shower.]

[Let's talk about RNG, the club. It's a notorious team known for its contracts and deadbeat mentality. They deliberately hold you hostage. I heard that even a dog that enters the RNG club has to leave its hair there. And this club doesn't pay salaries, they just do patriotic marketing.]

In an instant, RNG and Uzi became infamous across the internet, causing countless people to burst into laughter.

Of course, some people were furious.

Inside the hotel where RNG was staying, Manager San Shao was listening to Bai Xing's angry rant in the office, and his face was full of displeasure.

"Useless, a bunch of useless trash, good-for-nothings! What's the club doing keeping you around? You can't even win a championship, and then you let such a talented player go. Why wasn't it you who got out of the club?"

"Well, boss, you agreed to this back then, didn't you?"

The three young managers had no way of expressing their grievances. Who could have known that Chu Ran would grow to this level? And they couldn't foresee the future.

"I don't care, just find a way to bring Chu Ran to our club next year. Do it the way we agreed before, pay him a high salary, and then pay him for the first month or two. We'll talk about the rest later."

"And that Uzi, if he doesn't achieve anything next year, he'll be kicked out! He'll be forced to retire! What a piece of trash, he cost me so much money and he can't even win a single championship."

"If he can't achieve results, he wants to go to another club to continue making money? No way! He's stuck here with me, even if it means dying here. Fix his contract!"

Hearing Bai Xing's angry roar, the Third Young Master could only keep echoing her.

As soon as he stepped out of Bai Xing's office, he made a call to Uzi. Judging from the voice on the other end of the phone, Uzi was in a very bad mood. After all, seeing Chu Ran win the double championship, it was no wonder he was in a bad mood.

"Where are you? Get back to training right now. I'm speechless. What does it have to do with you that someone else is playing in the finals? You still went to watch. Do you think your name will be on the championship trophy?"

Upon hearing this from his hotel in South Korea, Uzi immediately flew into a rage, because there's a classic saying circulating in the LPL these days: "The championship trophy will never have a stain."

After hanging up the phone, Uzi scrolled through his phone again. The screen was filled with trending topics praising Chu Ran, as well as criticizing him for being a two-time runner-up.

Frustration, anger, jealousy, resentment and other emotions gathered in Uzi's heart.

"Damn it, if I had a few good teammates, I would have won the championship long ago!"

Uzi slammed his fist on the table, causing it to explode with a loud cracking sound.

At that moment, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, so he immediately took out his phone and started editing on Weibo.

Weibo user Uzi-QAQ:

First of all, congratulations to EDG for winning the championship again. I have seen many netizens debating whether this championship is truly valuable. Here I would like to say something fair.

In previous versions of the World Championship, the professional players participating were definitely stronger than the current players. I'm referring to fundamental skills and such, but in terms of game understanding and other aspects, the players from a few years ago were definitely not as good as the current players.

But in terms of prestige, the championships of the past are still the most prestigious. Back then, our LPL was still in the process of exploring and moving forward, while the LCK was many versions ahead of us. Under such circumstances, we were still able to fight back and forth with the LCK teams, and even met the LCK region in the finals twice. This is something that cannot be compared to now.

While congratulating EDG on their double championship, let's not forget the outstanding contributions other players have made to the LPL!

send!
Just seconds after posting it, Uzi saw the comment "[Always support Uzi]", and his feelings of imbalance instantly eased.

He posted this Weibo post to tell LPL viewers that his title of "Ancient Double Runner-up" is more valuable than Chu Ran's double championship.

Soon, his Weibo post caused a huge uproar.

[That's right! Everyone's calling him a double world champion, but have they forgotten the contributions Uzi made to the LPL as a double runner-up? Without Uzi, would the LPL be where it is today? A bunch of heartless, ungrateful bastards!]

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the dog (a popular internet personality), just a casual observer, but I think what the dog said makes perfect sense.

[It wasn't a very prestigious championship to begin with. What strong teams did EDG play to win this year? They were all just average teams. If it weren't for the fact that Uzi had some terrible teammates, I feel like they would have won anyway if Uzi had played.]

[6666! You bathing dog, you saw Chu Shen's double championship and think you can't even compare in terms of honors, so you're here to pat yourself on the back, huh?]

[Ah, right, right, a final without a god-like figure is never truly valuable. The League of Legends World Championship needs you, Jian Zihao, to prove its worth.]

[I'm wondering, what have you contributed, Bath Dog? Have you contributed tons of memes and iconic scenes?]

[Haha, I'm getting tired of laughing. Jian Zihao, you're shameless! You didn't even come to the sidelines in Shuangya to ride on my Chu Shen's popularity. If you want popularity, go take a hot shower yourself.]

Moments later, below Uzi's Weibo post, countless people started arguing fiercely, each cursing the other's family history.

Chu Ran burst out laughing when she saw this, "You were so busy eating that you forgot to deal with Jian Zihao, that stinky top eight contestant."

"Uzi is really good at bragging. He even said that the ancient times are more valuable. I think you don't need to post this, Chu Shen. You can just have Imp post it on Weibo."

Upon hearing Mala Xiangguo's words, Imp, who was drinking, was stunned for a moment and immediately shook his head, "No, no, I'm always very humble and refined."

"Uzi said you're not as good as Deft. He said laning against Deft is much less stressful than laning against you."

In an instant, Imp's eyes widened like saucers, and he slammed his fist on the table. "Damn it! What nonsense is he spouting? Back in Season 4, I beat him like a dog!"

The next second, Imp picked up his phone, quickly started editing, then converted it to Chinese and sent it out immediately.

Weibo post by EDG-Imp:

[@Uzi-QAQ, I think the players from the early days weren't that impressive, not that prestigious. After all, I often played against you and your support in the bot lane back then without any pressure, so the players from that era weren't that strong.]

"66666! Explosive kill! Pfft, awesome!"

"It still has to be 'poof poof,' I'd be furious if I were Uzi."

"Bao Hongwen."

Meiko and the others burst out laughing, all giving Imp a thumbs up. As soon as Imp posted this on Weibo, countless netizens who loved watching the drama went wild with laughter.

[Imp, what are you doing? Are you trying to ruin Chinese esports?!]

[You are guilty, Imp! Divine punishment has arrived!]

[The person who supposedly stomped Uzi in the ancient version is here to slap you in the face. They claim the ancient version is more impressive, and then say they like my Twitch taking on two opponents at once?]

[Hahaha, do you even know what a priest is? And do you even know what a double-crown ID is?]

Suddenly, the previously noisy GSL fell silent. They didn't even know how to respond to Imp's comments in order to diminish the value of EDG's championship victory.

I'm so annoyed!
But this is Imp. He crushed Uzi in S4 and won his second championship today. No matter how you compare them, Uzi is not qualified to be compared with Imp.

At the same time, Uzi, who had been in a much better mood, saw Imp's Weibo post and immediately turned red with anger, breathing heavily through his nostrils and his hands trembling.

"Fuck you! Idiot! Idiot! Imp, what the hell are you barking about?"

In his room, Uzi roared furiously. He desperately wanted to find a strong player to beat up. He regretted coming to watch the finals live; at least he could have taken a beating on Xiaoming, Xiaohu, and the others.

And now all he can do is rage in a helpless frenzy.

Just then, his phone beeped again, which made Uzi's pupils dilate violently, and he even felt a little panicked.

He immediately opened Weibo again.

really.

Chu Ran's latest Weibo post immediately appeared before his eyes.

Weibo account EDG-Easy:

[@Uzi-QaQ, excuse me for asking, but I became a world champion at 19 and had two world championships by 20. When will you become a world champion, Uzi-QaQ?]

Do we have to wait until the chickens have finished pecking at the rice, the dogs have finished licking the flour, and the candles have burned through the lock? Or do we have to wait until the clock face is too short to even count the S13?

Upon seeing this Weibo post, Uzi's entire body trembled violently, and he roared to the sky, "You beast!!"

Snapped!
Like Ning Mazi, Uzi flung his phone away, and what was shattered was not just the phone, but also their hearts.
