LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 312 I advise Faker to retire early to avoid tarnishing his reputation in his later years!

Upon witnessing this scene, the vast stadium in Las Vegas seemed to freeze in time, with countless spectators wiping their eyes and staring at the two people and the scene before them.

This scene was intensely stimulating to their visual senses.

Confirm again and again.

Finally, he came to his senses and realized that Chu Ran had solo-killed Faker's Zed.

This battle of two tribulations ultimately ended with Chu Ran's victory.

In an instant, the audience's jaws slammed to the ground, taking a long time to heal. But a terrifying tsunami had already erupted, with cheers rising from the ground and deafening sound waves filling the entire venue, as if it were about to overturn the venue.

"Oh my god! My God! Easy! He won!"

The North American commentators, representing the home team, stared blankly, clutching their numb heads and letting out incredulous gasps.

"In this duel between two Zed, Easy was the first to kill Faker, successfully winning this year's All-Star Solo Championship! He has made history once again, defeating Faker, who is considered the world's best Zed player!!"

"This is unbelievable! Let's shout his name, Easy—!"

Amid their roars, countless European and American viewers snapped out of their daze and immediately began waving their support signs with Chu Ran's ID on them, their faces flushed with excitement.

They really didn't expect that.

Before the match, people generally supported Faker.

Although Chu Ran is indeed strong.

But a person's name is like a tree's shadow.

The battle between Faker and YueLun, where they played Zed, is still fresh in our minds. That match cemented Faker's reputation as the world's best Zed player. However, back then, Quicksilver Sash could still remove Zed's ultimate.

Therefore, Faker has a higher approval rating.

But now, the reality is quite different from what they thought.

In this Solo match, they could no longer see the spirited Faker of the past. Looking at Faker's bewildered expression on the stage, many people couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.

Faker is getting old after all.

The name of this era is Easy!

Cheers, shouts, and other sounds filled the air, sweeping towards Chu Ran.

Of course, some people are happy and some are sad.

At this moment, the Korean and LCK commentary booths were filled with wailing. Roaring Emperor and others were crying their eyes out, unable to accept the reality before them. Their cheerful tone before the match was now tinged with sobs.

"NO! Faker! The man who became famous for his Zed duel lost to Easy today, and both of them were playing Zed. It's so suffocating."

"Has the era of our LCK truly become a thing of the past?!"

The Roaring Emperor roared with grief and indignation as the director gave a close-up of Chu Ran's face.

That smile that would never fade was incredibly irritating to them, and they wished they could rush onto the stage right now and tear Chu Ran's mouth apart, forbidding her from smiling.

The Korean live stream chat exploded at this moment, like a funeral dirge. Countless Koreans who were hoping to revive the glory of LCK in this All-Star event suddenly lost their confidence.

The professional team's match hasn't even started yet, but they've already lost the Solo match.

If they had known, they wouldn't have let Faker participate in the All-Star Solo. If he hadn't participated, even though he wouldn't have had the chance to face Chu Ran, at least he could have preserved his reputation.

But now, God is on the verge of falling again.

[Damn it! Lee Sang-hyeok, did you bet on yourself to lose? How come your Zed was completely dominated by this guy?!]

[I really don't want to believe it. Even if there's a gap, it shouldn't be this big. You're Faker! You're a god!]

[I already said not to let Faker participate in this All-Star event, and if he hadn't participated, none of this would have happened!]

Why is this happening? Is there no one who can defeat this man?

The bullet that struck Yue Lun years ago has finally struck Lee Sang-hyeok between the eyebrows years later!

Countless Koreans let out heart-wrenching cries of despair. If Faker had lost to Chu Ran in the past, they could have blamed it on their teammates to save face for the LCK.

But what reason should they give today?

Throughout the entire Solo match, Faker was completely suppressed by Chu Ran. Even in the final wave, Chu Ran was low on health and managed to kill Faker, just like Yue Lun did back then.

However, at that time, Faker's Zed, who was low on health, managed to kill Yue Lun, who was at full health.

At the same time, with the All-Star Game generating so much buzz this year, Yue Lun himself was naturally paying attention, and he was watching the double Zed battle live.

Seeing Faker get solo killed by Chu Ran, he felt a mix of emotions.

There was no great revenge to be exacted, after all, he had no grudge against Faker, it was simply that he was simply less skilled than Faker.

However, as a member of the LCK region, he naturally wanted to see Faker defeat Chu Ran in a solo match and prove the strength of the LCK to the world once again.

but
Yue Lun looked up at Chu Ran on the screen, who was being cheered by thousands and surrounded by spotlights. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "This man... he's too strong! I even feel that if he doesn't retire, our LCK region will have no hope left."

As soon as he said this, many Korean fans in his live stream felt the same way and began to fantasize that Chu Ran was dying on the court right now, amidst their shock and disappointment.

Unlike the despairing and suffocating atmosphere in the LCK region, the LPL has been swept by a huge wave of excitement, with most people looking ecstatic, except for haters and Han fans.

In the LPL commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan shouted at the top of his lungs, "God Chu! He solo-killed Faker, proving to the whole world who is truly the strongest man in the mid lane!"

"There can only be one god in the mid lane of League of Legends! That is Chu Shen from our LPL!"

"That's right!" Miller immediately echoed excitedly, "It's so shocking! Nobody expected this outcome. Although it looks like Chu Shen managed to turn the tables on Faker, the reason he was able to do so was because of the previous pressure that gave Chu Shen an economic lead, which allowed him to get a slight advantage with CD boots and thus solo kill Faker!"

"This is the laning strength of our God Chu in the early game. Even this man known as the Great Demon King is no match for our God Chu!"

At this point, Miller even stood up excitedly in the commentary booth. His roaring voice shook many viewers in the live broadcast room, causing the barrage of comments to keep scrolling.

[6666! Chu Shen is the world's number one mid laner! Stop talking nonsense! Haters!]

[Han Xiaozi and Keza, why are you quiet now? Keep shouting! Your silence is deafening!]

[That's it? "The Great Demon King Faker is coming back!" and that's it? Are you guys mute or something?!]

[Are you deaf?]

Seeing these comments, Han Xiaozi and Keza, who had been so arrogant before the match, suddenly fell silent and could only sulk in impotent rage. Some even smashed their keyboards and mice.

They simply couldn't accept that Faker, on whom they had placed such high hopes, had lost to Chu Ran so easily, with almost no chance of fighting back.

Is this still the god they admire?
Or perhaps even gods will grow old one day.

Not only did they break down, but inside the RNG club, Uzi broke down again, cursing loudly, "Useless, all of you are useless! How could you get solo killed by that bastard's Zed when you were playing Zed?"

"Wasn't Zed supposed to be Faker's signature move? I'm totally impressed!"

Uzi's chubby face was flushed. Actually, it wasn't that he couldn't accept Faker losing to Chu Ran, but that he couldn't accept Chu Ran winning the Solo tournament again, even though that championship should have belonged to him, Uzi.

At this moment, the whole world is abuzz with discussion, and the shouts inside the hall have never stopped.

Under the spotlight, Chu Ran slowly stood up, patted his clothes, walked towards Faker with a smile, and extended his right hand.

Faker looked up at Chu Ran's confident face, a bitter smile on his lips. After shaking hands with Chu Ran, he said, "I lost, but I'll win next time." "You've said that every single time these past few years."

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, Faker's eyebrows twitched a few times.

Shouldn't Lee Sang-hyeok be the one to say such arrogant words?

Why did you change positions?

"I'll wait for you to continue challenging me," Chu Ran said calmly to Faker, "but those who lose to me will never be considered my opponents again, because my defeated opponents can never beat me again."

After these words were spoken, Faker's pupils suddenly contracted as he watched Chu Ran walk to the center of the stage and bow. His fists clenched involuntarily.

Just a few years ago, he was just as full of vigor and ambition.

"Xiba!"

No matter how good Faker's mentality was, he couldn't help but swear in the end.

As Chu Ran stood in the center of the stage, the flashes and shutter sounds never stopped, with countless e-sports media outlets frantically recording this historic moment.

Although today's Solo match may not be considered an honor, it will definitely be an indelible and significant chapter in the history of professional League of Legends, just like the legendary Zed duel between Faker and YueLun back then.

Today's Solo match between Chu Ran and Faker will be recorded in history and will be mentioned by the audience from time to time.

After Chu Ran left the stage and returned backstage, Ning Mazi watched Imp and the others rush up to congratulate her and couldn't help but snort a few times, her tone somewhat sour.

"Faker wasn't in good form today, otherwise it's hard to say who would have won."

Although his voice was soft, Chu Ran still heard it. The next second, Chu Ran and Ning Mazi looked at each other backstage. "Then why didn't you make it to the finals and solo against Faker?"

"Why didn't you win the Solo tournament? Did you not want it?"

It's worth noting that Ning Mazi also participated in this All-Star Solo competition, but he was eliminated after only one round.

For a moment, everyone backstage stopped cheering for Chu Ran. They felt the temperature in the small space rising continuously, and anyone who didn't know better would have thought Uzi had arrived.

But it's not much different now.

Visible to the naked eye.

They all saw Ning Mazi's face suddenly turn incredibly red, his eyes fixed on Chu Ran, and his nostrils flaring as he breathed heavily, looking like a mad dog about to pounce and tear him apart.

Fortunately, TheShy was holding him back, and Ning Mazi also knew there were a lot of people here, so he could only suppress his anger and rage, punch the sofa, and leave the backstage area immediately.

"Chu Shen, you're amazing." Imp gave Chu Ran a thumbs up. If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to be teammates with Ning Mazi, but that's how the All-Star voting works, so he had no choice but to put up with it.

Chu Ran's utterly disrespectful behavior immediately made them burst into laughter after Ning Mazi left.

"We've given him too much credit. He's been talking nonsense since the first day of scrims, being sarcastic and unhelpful. We should have just brought in another jungler."

Chu Ran didn't care about this matter. Anyway, this should be the last time he spent day and night with Ning Mazi. He probably wouldn't see him again.

Given Ning Mazi's arrogant personality, he would be largely useless next year when the new version comes out, and after being fired by IG, it's uncertain whether he will be able to find a team next year.

Just as the backstage was filled with laughter and joy, it was immediately broken by Yu Shuang's interview invitation.

In the interview booth.

Chu Ran and Yu Shuang stood side by side, while below, many of Chu Ran's fans were waving fluorescent white flasks and cheering wildly to express their love. The popularity of the domestic live broadcast room increased rather than decreased.

[Hey bro, I'm here! Listen to Chu Shen tell his stand-up comedy!]

[Why hasn't it started yet? I don't watch the match, but I love watching Chu Shen's post-match interviews.]

[Aunt Yu Shuang is getting more and more charming; she's started humming softly.]

After preparing, Yu Shuang and Chu Ran briefly greeted the audience and immediately began the formal interview.

Yu Shuang glanced at the script and said with a smile, "Okay, congratulations to Chu Shen for winning the All-Star Solo Tournament again. In this match, you even defeated Faker, who is known as the Great Demon King. Moreover, both of you were using Zed, successfully recreating the Double Zed battle in front of the whole world."

"So how are you feeling right now? Is there anything you particularly want to say to your fans?"

Chu Ran pondered for a few seconds, then chuckled, "Well, I'm not really in a good mood. I'm just calm. After all, the Solo Tournament Championship isn't really an honor. There's no need to treat it like a treasure. Besides, I already have a Solo Tournament Championship, and I have many other championships. It's not like some players who have played professionally for many years without winning a championship have such a strong desire for this Solo Tournament Championship."

"I'd like to thank my fans for their support over the years, and the thing I want to say most is to a certain ADC player."

At this moment, Yu Shuang was stunned. Her eyes widened, and she was convinced of Chu Ran's abilities.

You can even drive that?

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, the GSL members in the live stream were so angry that they gritted their teeth, on the verge of exploding. Then, Chu Ran's magnetic voice continued to ring out.

"I won the Solo tournament again. When will you win your first championship? That's right, I'm talking about our EDG's academy AD, Iboy."

Chu Ran smiled and nodded, speaking firmly.

But his appearance instantly amused countless people, and his attempt to make amends made it clear to the audience who he was implying. GSL couldn't hold back any longer and exploded like Angry Birds!

[You beast! You will die a horrible death! You will surely descend to the eighteenth level of hell!]

[You son of a bitch, are you sick?! If you're sick, go get treated!]

[Haha, they're getting anxious, GSL is getting anxious. I don't know what you guys are so anxious about. Did Chu Shen say your master is taking a bath?]

[Exactly, don't jump to conclusions, okay? Is Uzi the only ADC in the world without a championship?]

[What? You're still going to chase me down? I'm Brother Zaozi, I need to take a shower with ice right now, otherwise the temperature won't drop!]

"You beast—!"

Inside the RNG club, Uzi's face was flushed red as he frantically pounded his mouse, the sound of which echoed throughout the training room.

When Xiao Hu saw this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, though he didn't know why he was laughing.

But over the past two years, he has still gained something.

At least Uzi doesn't dare to use his thigh as a boxing ring anymore. It's just a pity about the mouse, which Uzi smashed to pieces, showing how angry Uzi is at this moment.

"I'm going to beat him to death next year! You damn bastard!"

Uzi has gone mad. He was prevented from attending the All-Star event by Chu Ran, losing both his prize and his reputation. Now, he's watching Chu Ran defeat Faker and enjoy the spotlight on him from around the world.

A mix of emotions welled up in Uzi's heart, causing him to collapse instantly; this was a classic case of being consumed by rage.

At the same time, the interviews at the competition site continued. Yu Shuang was used to Chu Ran's answers and continued to ask Chu Ran a few questions as if nothing had happened.

"It was alright. Actually, I had only just warmed up. That 'tak' move wasn't a mistake; it was a well-planned move to see if Faker would make a move, giving me a chance to solo kill him. Otherwise, I could only win by farming minions. Although I could win, I always felt like something was missing."

"Faker's Zed is still very strong. He hasn't regressed as much as some viewers have said. It's just that my Zed is a little stronger than his."

"If I had debuted earlier and faced Faker a few years ago, then Faker wouldn't have had a chance to become a three-time world champion."

"What I want to say to Faker is... well, I advise him to retire as soon as possible and stop trying to revive the glory of LCK, lest he ruin his reputation in his later years, because with me around, LCK will have no light left!"

After Chu Ran answered each question, Yu Shuang and all the audience members were stunned for a moment. But when he answered the last question, everyone was completely shocked and stood there dumbfounded, staring at Chu Ran in the interview room, all speechless.

In an instant, Chu Ran's words spread rapidly throughout the various competition areas, causing a huge uproar!
