LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 324 They are not qualified to challenge me.

In an instant, cheers filled the air, forming a vast torrent that resounded throughout the entire competition venue. The deafening roar had blown the heads off of countless spectators.

This also caused a huge uproar throughout the entire LPL.

No one expected today's BO5 to end like this.

The EDG fans, Xue Mama, and many of Chu Ran's haters who were just excited were suddenly stunned and dumbfounded.

Why is this happening!

Seeing this, their faces were filled with shock and despair. EDG, on which they had placed high hopes, had actually fallen in the first round of the playoffs this year.

This is simply unacceptable.

But some are happy and some are sad.

Their suffering, on the contrary, led to a celebration for many IG fans and fans of Chu Ran and others. Inside the venue, Guan Zong, who was holding up support signs for IG and Chu Ran and others, was excitedly dancing and waving his glow stick wildly.

Their flushed faces reflected their immense joy as they roared in unison with hoarse voices.

"IG is awesome! Chu Shen is awesome!!"

"God Chu!!!"

At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene was pushed to its climax once again. The spotlights on the stage shone on Chu Ran and his five companions, and the shutters of various e-sports media outlets kept pressing, trying to capture this moment.

Almost no one in the LPL, or even the world, expected that after Chu Ran returned to IG, IG's strength would be so terrifying, achieving a clean sweep against the two-time champion EDG.

Chu Ran's handsome face appeared on the big screen, with a faint smile, and his unparalleled confidence was transmitted to the hearts of every fan through the screen.

"Holy crap! Awesome! Chu Shen is awesome!"

"Who says our IG team can only be eliminated in the first round!"

On the field, Jackeylove and Meiko both raised their hands and roared with great excitement. Before the match, they were wondering if they could overcome EDG.

After playing several games, they realized that this year's EDG wasn't that great either.

"Calm down. What's so exciting about beating this year's EDG in the first round of the playoffs? Without me, we're just a top-tier team."

"Chu Shen, add me!" Meiko added, "Without Chu Shen and me this year, EDG is just a nobody!"

Upon hearing Meiko's words, Rooike pushed aside the incredibly excited TheShy and quickly chimed in, "Meiko, you're just flattering yourself."

"Ha ha ha ha."

On the stage, Chu Ran and the others were very happy. Listening to the resounding shouts, Chu Ran felt extremely emotional.

He still enjoys this atmosphere, reveling in being cheered by thousands; perhaps he was born for this line of work.

Thinking of this, Chu Ran walked into the spotlight, raised his hands again, and interacted with fans and the audience, making the scene once again packed with people, and even the sound of voices cracking could be heard.

"Over here! Chu Shen is raising his hand in celebration!" Miller exclaimed at the top of his lungs in the commentary booth, "He's celebrating his return! Chu Shen told the LPL, and he told the whole world, in today's BO5!"

"Even though he switched from mid lane to jungle, even though he hasn't played a match for several months, he is still an insurmountable peak for all League of Legends clubs and players!"

"That's right—!"

Guan Zeyuan hysterically echoed, "Let's congratulate IG again! Today, Chu Shen has returned, and he will lead IG, this galactic battleship, to set sail! And today's 3-0 victory over EDG is not the end; this is just the beginning!"

"Congratulations to IG for defeating EDG and advancing to the next round of the playoffs. As for EDG, this team with countless honors, they will not have any matches in the first half of the year after this game. We hope they can adjust well and we will wait for them to come back in the second half of the year!"

At this point, Guan Zeyuan raised his arms and shouted excitedly, "Let's give IG another round of applause and cheers!! Who said IG couldn't beat EDG!"

"Chu Shen said that if everyone thinks IG can't beat EDG, then he'll tell you how he led IG to victory!"

Hearing Miller and Guan Zeyuan's loud praise, Uzi felt his face getting hotter and hotter, almost like he had a fever of 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.

At this moment, Uzi was restless and wanted to leave this place of trouble. He was biting his hand frantically and cursing EDG for being useless and not even able to handle IG. He could already imagine how people were criticizing him in the live stream and on the forums.

Thinking about this, Uzi's body temperature rose higher and higher, and he desperately needed to take a shower to cool down.

He was right. At this moment, the live broadcast rooms of major events had completely exploded, with countless comments surging like a tidal wave!
[66666! IG is awesome! Chu Shen is awesome! Now, let's hear from all the haters!]

[Hey haters, I told you to speak up, didn't you hear me? Stop talking nonsense!]

[“IG can beat EDG? I’ll eat shit.”, “EDG is a two-time champion.”, “Do you really think EDG is no good just because Chu Shen left?”, “What’s the point of coming back after months of not playing?”, “I was just giving Chu Shen face in the first game, not wanting him to lose too badly.”, “We were careless in the second game, no problem, we’ll come back from 3-2 to 3-2, that’s what we EDG love to do most!”, “Damn it, Chu Shen, how could you be so ruthless to your former team!”]

[Hahaha, classic, so classic! This is exactly what these haters are like!]

[Why isn't the dog barking like Mom anymore? Keep spewing nonsense! Scout is so strong! He's been down 20 kills to Rookie after three games. Is this the world's best mid laner you guys talk about?!]

[What? GSL and starch, are you all silent because you're eating shit and can't speak?]

[It's been proven that EDG's championship win was largely due to Chu Shen, do the fans understand?! You traitors? The only reason Chu Shen won two championships for EDG was because his contract hadn't expired!]

[It must be because EDG's cafeteria was like a pig farm that Chu Shen left EDG.]

The comments scrolled wildly. Many haters were so angry that they trembled, but they could only rage helplessly, pounding their little fists. Then their classic rhetoric came out.

[What a mess! They only beat EDG, what about the next team? Can they even beat Top?]

[They can't beat Top. They even struggled against EDG, and Top is currently ranked 3rd in points.]

[But the filial son and the chicken giblets, stop barking like dogs; someone who doesn't know better might think they've won a championship.]

Indeed, my dog ​​will beat up the beast.

Just as the various live streaming rooms were buzzing with discussion, the director suddenly turned the camera to the commentary booth, where Miller and Guan Zeyuan's excited expressions, along with Uzi's red-hot hand-biting gesture, were immediately presented to countless viewers.

In an instant, countless viewers burst into laughter, making the live stream even more lively.

[Damn it, director, I'm so angry!]

[Haha, where did this Rambo come from? He's become so popular!]

[You can't even beat EDG? Uzi, is that all the vision you have? You might as well go home and raise pigs!]

The purge is underway on a large scale, with countless Chu Ran fans and IG fans taking over the live broadcast rooms and forums of major events during the long Spring Split regular season this year.

Their anger had long reached its peak, and now that they had finally gotten their revenge, they were ready to strike while the enemy was down.

In addition, many professional players who were commentating on the match were also attacked. The most typical example is Doinb. When he saw EDG lose, his live stream exploded. However, Doinb was as stubborn as steel and completely ignored what he said before the match.

The entire LPL was engulfed in a huge discussion, while at the same time, Chu Ran and the others calmed themselves down a bit and walked towards the EDG booth.

At this moment, several people on the EDG team's stage looked dejected, especially Flandre and Spicy Pot, who did not expect to lose so badly today.

When Saint Gunner shook hands with Chu Ran, he felt a little numb.

"Chu Shen, you're not human! You're so good at jungling, how are we supposed to play?"

“Exactly, exactly.” Mala Xiangguo sighed softly, “God Chu, you’re not leaving any way out for us at all.”

He originally wanted to defeat Chu Ran today, but he realized that he was just overthinking it. Chu Ran's jungling skills were several levels higher than his. In fact, Chu Ran played the jungling role like he was using a cheat code.

He could almost predict Chu Ran's movements. If this weren't a competition, Mala Xiangguo would have suspected that Chu Ran had X-ray vision.

“Generally speaking, your most important task right now is not to train and improve your level and strength, but to find a doctor as soon as possible.” Hearing Chu Ran’s words, everyone present was dumbfounded and had no idea what Chu Ran meant.

"Find a doctor to teach you how to maintain your health, so that when I retire you'll still be in your prime."

"."

"Ran-ge, you're really faking it!"

In an instant, Rooike and the others all gave Chu Ran a thumbs up, except for one person who was very unhappy, that was Scout, who looked at Chu Ran as if he were looking at his father's killer.

You have to know how long he waited to become the starting mid laner for EDG, just hoping to lead EDG to another Grand Slam this year and prove himself completely. But the late emperor died halfway through his career.

Forget about the Grand Slam; he was eliminated in the first round of the Spring Split playoffs. It's safe to say that after today's game, a large portion of the fans he accumulated during the regular season will leave him.

The culprit behind all this is Chu Ran. Why did he have to return now, of all times? Scout and Chu Ran's whole family are furious.

"What are you looking at? If you want to become the world's best mid laner, you still have to practice." Chu Ran naturally guessed Scout's thoughts and immediately laughed. "Of course, sometimes you might practice your whole life and still not reach the level of the world's best mid laner."

"Damn it!!"

Scout broke down, angrily cursing Chu Ran's retreating figure. Of course, he was quickly met with a retort from Spicy Hotpot: "You like to pretend, just wait to die. You should just focus on playing the game. Why do you have to try to do marketing and rub salt in Chu Ran's wounds? The first thing you should do when you get back is uninstall Weibo."

Seeing Scout's reaction, Mala Xiangguo felt he had only himself to blame; not everyone can ride the coattails of popularity.

Meanwhile, after Chu Ran and the others bowed in the center of the stage, they immediately returned to the backstage dressing room. The moment Daney saw them, he immediately hugged and cheered with great joy.

Rooike and others showered praise on him. They hadn't expected the match to go so smoothly, winning 3-0. After much thought, they concluded that the biggest reason was Chu Ran's exceptional strength.

Seeing Chu Ran being invited to an interview by Yu Shuang, Rooike and the others exchanged bewildered glances and couldn't help but sigh, "Chu Shen is a monster. Luckily, he's our teammate this year, otherwise how would we beat him?"

“Song Yijin is right, but I’m not bad either, I crushed Iboy on the other side.” Jackeylove immediately boasted, but was quickly refuted by Meiko.

"Come on, Yu Wenbo, without me, you'd probably be getting yourself killed again."

"Hahaha." TheShy laughed loudly. He experienced unprecedented joy in IG, but he couldn't let loose and be himself, which was too painful.

But there was no way around it. When Chu Ran wasn't on the court, he could occasionally show his true nature, but after Chu Ran came on, his discipline was brought to its highest level, because if he made a mistake due to discipline, Chu Ran would deduct his salary after the game.

As they discussed, the interview area was already bustling with people, and the live stream was incredibly popular, with countless viewers' eyes fixed on Chu Ran and Yu Shuang.

"Hello everyone, I'm Easy3, the jungler for IG."

After Chu Ran greeted everyone, Yu Shuang smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, congratulations to Chu Shen for defeating EDG and advancing to the next round of the playoffs today."

"And today is also your first match of the Spring Split this year. How are you feeling right now?"

"Hmm." Chu Ran pondered for a few seconds, then slowly said, "You must be happy to be able to continue playing matches."

"Oh, does Chu Shen really enjoy professional matches?" Yu Shuang asked in return.

"You could say that, but what I enjoy even more is stepping on other geniuses and slapping the faces of certain viewers, seeing their painful cries of pain—it's really satisfying!"

As soon as Chu Ran finished speaking, Yu Shuang's beautiful eyes widened immediately, and the scene and the live broadcast room fell into silence. But then, a continuous stream of exclamations rang out.

[Haha, as expected of God Chu!]

[You beast, you'll never have a good death!]

[That felt good! The strong should ruthlessly humiliate the weak!]

[The God of Chu is mighty!!]

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, countless haters were enraged, wishing they could rush up and tear Chu Ran's mouth apart, but they dared not, and could only rage helplessly, and then fall into a state of frenzy.

Yu Shuang quickly adapted. After not seeing Chu Ran for several months, he was still the same. She immediately composed herself and continued, "Heroes are as numerous as fish in a river. God Chu enjoys moments when he defeats all kinds of geniuses."

"Just like the saying that's circulating now, I've met many geniuses, but they all call me a genius. So, God Chu, could you please reveal the real reason why you left the competition for several months?"

The reason why Chu Ran temporarily left the LPL for several months has been a topic of discussion among viewers, but there has been no clear answer. Suddenly, everyone is eager to find out.

The next second, Chu Ran's calm voice suddenly rang out.

"Actually, it's nothing much, I just went back to school to study."

Yu Shuang was taken aback. She suddenly remembered that Chu Ran was a top student. "So, his return now means he has met the academic requirements?"

"You could say that," Chu Ran nodded, then immediately added, "I graduated in June, and spent a few months completing all my credits."

At that moment, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room gasped in shock.

Chu Ran's words were quite surprising, and they shocked many graduating students.

【? ? ? ? ? 】

【No way, buddy, all of us might as well just commit suicide. You're good at video games, and then you tell me you finished all your credits in a few months and graduated early?】

【Chu Shen, I'm going to work at 8 AM!!】

[I've revised my thesis countless times, and spent hundreds of dollars on plagiarism checks. It's so frustrating to compare myself to others!]

Chu Ran's words quickly shook all the live stream rooms, just like the expressions Jackeylove and others had when they learned that Chu Ran was about to graduate. They were all amazed by Chu Ran's genius.

Not only is he good at games, but he's also quick-witted.

Of course, many haters were also shocked, and even more so, they were terrified. Apart from them, all the clubs and players were shocked. They had thought that since they had targeted Chu Ran once before, they could just do it again, but Chu Ran had graduated.

This means that Chu Ran can stay in the LPL indefinitely, leaving them with no chance to rise to prominence, and even the easy professional careers they once had are no longer possible.

With Chu Ran's return, if IG's performance continues to improve, then other clubs and players will no longer be able to slack off. IG's training is known to everyone online, and if they don't learn from it, how can they compete?

At this moment, discussions are surging both online and offline, while inside the Top Club...

Looking at Chu Ran in the camera, 369 said incredulously, "That's outrageous! If this guy leads IG further and further, then we'll all have to learn from IG."

“That’s for sure. The better IG does, the more other clubs will follow suit,” Knight chimed in. “So just don’t let IG achieve anything.”

He'd seen IG's training schedule, and if the LPL all followed IG's example, he wouldn't even have time to date.

Playing with hooks.

However, just as he was talking to 369, Yu Shuang in the interview room asked her last question.

"Okay, one last question, Chu Shen, this year the LPL has also seen the emergence of many rising stars, such as the currently dominant Top team. Their 369 and Knight are considered by many netizens to be the future of domestic top laners and mid laners."

"Both of them often say in public that they want to challenge you and defeat you, and your next opponent for IG is Top. What do you think about this?"

Upon hearing Yu Shuang's words, Chu Ran paused for a moment, then looked at the densely packed crowd, slowly placed the microphone to his lips, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Challenge me?"

"Challenge my top and mid laners?"

"Then let those two, one of them master the Gnar barrel technique, and the other speak fluent Chinese, before they challenge me. Otherwise, they are not qualified to challenge me!"
