LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 343: LPL's Own Faker
At that moment, the shouts of countless spectators in the stadium resounded through the sky, converging into a deafening roar that swept across the entire stadium.

At this moment, the viewers who supported IG were shouting at the top of their lungs, some even with their voices cracking, constantly chanting words like "IG is awesome, Chu Shen is awesome".

No one could have imagined that SKT, who were highly anticipated before the match, would be defeated like this.

The promised battle between two kings turned out to be nothing more than a one-sided massacre.

Glow sticks and support signs were waved wildly in the air above the audience, and some people were so excited that they almost couldn't breathe.

At this moment, many Instagram fans felt a surge of pride and triumph!
Who says SKT is invincible this year?

Who says Faker has made a triumphant return!
Who said Jackeylove can't play Draven?
The once-grand stadium now presents two completely different scenes.

Some people raised their hands, their faces flushed, and their voices were even hoarse.

Some people could only look at the settlement panel on the big screen with glistening tears in their eyes.

With a kill ratio that was more than twenty kills higher, Draven was the top damage dealer.

And then there's the match time of 1504 seconds.

Neither of them could be accepted. At this moment, they felt a pain in their hearts, a feeling of suffocation and despair spreading throughout their bodies, and they were even on the verge of fainting.

As former champions, SKT has once again made history.

However, they were not the winners of the new history; they were the losers of history.

They were once again nailed to the pillar of shame, having broken their own previous record for the fastest world race.

This surprised all the audiences in each competition area, and it caused an uproar.

At this moment, in all the LPL match live broadcast rooms, the barrage of comments was scrolling wildly like a tidal wave. Countless SKT fans and Chu Ran haters were dumbfounded when they saw this match scene.

Is this still the SKT they know, the three-time world champion Faker they praise?
Why is it happening like that!

Suddenly, their pre-match arrogance vanished into endless silence. They were furious at the comments praising IG and condemning them, but there was nothing they could do.

[66666! This is IG! Speak up! You haters, are you deaf?!]

[Korean fans, Tadpole fans, GSL, damn it, do you guys not have hands? Can't you just say IG is awesome?]

[Holy crap! 15 minutes and 04 seconds! No way, is this really a record that can be achieved in a World Championship?]

[Incredibly terrifying! The world's fastest race record he set should be broken by himself! God Chu!]

[Wow, who was it that said Jackeylove couldn't play Draven at the start of the game? Apologize to them now!]

Do you even know what it means to be a streamer who started with Draven? Instead of streaming, you went straight to the professional scene and made a name for yourself!

[Awesome! 15 minutes and 04 seconds is a time that no one else could ever achieve in their entire career. Chu Shen's command and jungling skills make him the best jungler in the world this year!]

Now let's raise our hands and give IG a big round of applause!

[This is hilarious! What was Clid bragging about? Before the match, she was touted as the world's best jungler, saying she was better than Chu Shen, but then Lee Sin was banned, and she retired on the spot. If she hadn't been completely outplayed in the jungle, the game wouldn't have ended so quickly.]

[“We, SKT, are invincible!”, “SKT returns to glory!”, “SKT got speedrun!”, “How could this happen, damn it!”]

...

The comments scrolled wildly, leaving no room for pause, dazzling the viewer. Many SKT fans, seeing all this, had tears in their eyes, feeling as if they were dreaming, but had been slapped in the face, the pain penetrating to their very bones.

At this moment, the popularity of the domestic live broadcast room skyrocketed. Many viewers rushed to the scene after hearing the news of this historic moment and immediately began to cheer loudly for IG.

Although it was just a group stage match at MSI, it is destined to be recorded in the history of professional League of Legends competitions, and will never be forgotten.

Countless of Chu Ran's haters are now dumbfounded and completely stunned. For example, Uzi and Ning Mazi were all happily turning on their live streams before the match, ready to commentate on the game and see how Chu Ran and IG would be crushed by SKT.

But they never expected things to turn out this way; it was completely unexpected.

Looking at the barrage of comments that soared into the sky in his live stream.

[Hey dog, go back to taking a shower. Seeing your dad Faker get beaten up must be really upsetting for you.]

[Haha, even if you gave that dog a lifetime of training, he could never achieve this kind of record.]

[Who said that? Maybe the Void World Bath Dog has already speedrunned Faker.]

[Ning Mazi, you're still watching? Do you even think you can learn that? Your lousy jungler isn't even half as good as Chu Shen, and you were mocking IG for losing, but then you speed-beat SKT, while you could only watch from home.]

[Tiger is such a jerk, Doinb, you guys shouldn't watch this, you'll never beat Faker in your entire lives.]

"Damn it, are these idiot trolls out of their minds?!"

In an instant, Uzi and the others broke down and hurriedly shut down their live streams. However, even though their live streams were closed, the barrage of messages to clear them didn't stop and started appearing in their private messages again.

It means liquidation.

Soon, the temperature in many LPL clubs was rising rapidly, and everyone wanted to take a shower to cool down.

waste!

It's all garbage!

Including Uzi, their faces were as red as monkey butts, and they kept cursing SKT in their hearts.

Even if they were in their shoes, they wouldn't have been beaten like this by IG. What kind of triumphant return is this? They're just a pushover.

Uzi is now even more convinced that he was just unlucky and didn't have some great teammates in the past few years, otherwise he wouldn't have failed to win the championship. He thinks Faker is just so-so.

If Faker can be pinned on the pillar of shame twice in a row, how strong must he be?

At the same time, inside the huge stadium, the roaring shouts continued. In the LPL commentary booth, Miller and others finally came to their senses and let out a deafening exclamation.

"My God! Congratulations to IG, congratulations to Chu Shen! They have truly made history again! At 15 minutes and 04 seconds, they have broken the record for the fastest match time in the 2017 World Championship, set by Chu Shen's EDG against SKT at the Bird's Nest!"

"IG didn't lie to us, this is the strongest team from our LPL, IG! 15 minutes and 04 seconds, although it's only a few dozen seconds shorter than the previous record, this is an unprecedented moment in the entire League of Legends professional league!"

"Who said IG can't play Draven? Who said IG's other positions can't carry? This time, IG has shown the world that they... are the five best players this year!!"

Following Guan Zeyuan's roar, Ji De, standing beside him, also roared with a flushed face, "That's right, some people say that if you cross this mountain, they will be able to hear your story, but no one can cross the mountain of Chu Shen. He is the peak that can never be surpassed!"

Let's congratulate IG!!

Miller followed closely behind, his voice cracking slightly, "Before the match, everyone was saying that LCK would make a triumphant return this year and reclaim its glory, but IG and Chu Shen have shown the world that with us here, LCK will never have glory again!"

"15 minutes. Although this is only a BO1, it will definitely be a match that goes down in history. Perhaps in the future, all five members of IG will retire from the professional scene, and even the LPL will cease to exist."

"But I think we will never forget that today, in the match against the three-time world champion SKT, IG completely crushed them like bots. Draven took them down one by one with his axe. This is the world's best Draven player, Jackeylove!"

The loud, clear voice echoed in the commentary booth, causing another stir in the live broadcast room and the audience.

[Awesome, Brother Shui is awesome!]

Who dares to question my Draven? Some people even compare Vincent to Jackeylove—do they even consider themselves to be in the same league?!

[Let's see who dares to call Yu Wenbo a scoundrel now!] [Yu Wenbo? Yu Wubo!]

The results panel on the big screen showed that the outcome of this match was enough to drive the world crazy.

In the commentary booths of Europe and America, as well as Vietnam and other countries, every commentator gasped in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief. It was truly hard for them to accept.

But soon the cheers resumed, and everyone joined in congratulating IG.

The LCK is the only exception. The Korean commentators are like zombies, their eyes lifeless, slumped in their seats, with only heart-wrenching screams echoing around them.

"NO! Damn it! SKT! Lee Sang-hyeok! Why did this happen?!"

despair.

Utter despair.

Even through the screen, you could feel their deep-seated despair, which reached many South Korean viewers watching the live stream.

He felt ice-cold all over, gasped for breath, and everything went black before his eyes. As he looked at Chu Ran and the others celebrating in the competition area, the light in their eyes gradually faded.

[Holy shit!! All five members of SKT died in Vietnam!!]

[Faker, go to hell! Retire when you're old! You're just hogging the spotlight! What right do you have to be the world's best?!]

[I can't accept this! This is supposed to be the strongest team in the LCK this year? They got completely thrashed by the weak LPL teams. The LCK region is finished!]

[Disband! I don't want to watch League of Legends matches anymore. They're all useless; not a single one of them can beat this man.]

[This is boring, I'm quitting. How can Easy possibly beat this guy?]

SKT seems to have found a hole to bury themselves in in Vietnam; they might as well prevent the zombie virus from spreading to the LCK.

Korean online forums also collapsed at this moment. Even some Koreans who had previously been dissatisfied with Chu Ran and LPL were now completely defeated. They couldn't even find a reason to make up for SKT's failure.

Even if you're speedrunned in 15 minutes, and it's like five bronze players facing off against five professional players, as long as you play it safe, you can't afford to lose at that point.

Human-machine!

No.

Today's SKT is even worse than a bot.

But honestly, are SKT really that bad?
That's impossible. After all, they were the LCK Spring Split champions this year. If they're all bad, then there's really no need for the LCK to exist.

But if SKT has the strength, then there is only one reasonable explanation for why they are being beaten like this.

That's because IG is too strong.

Faced with IG's overwhelming strength, SKT, whom they had high hopes for, was like a human being, completely powerless to fight back. Therefore, many Koreans were utterly defeated.

What is meant by rebuilding the glory of LCK?

impossible.

As long as that person on stage is still playing professionally.

In an instant, countless eyes were focused on the competition area. Chu Ran was raising his hands high, welcoming the cheers from all directions. With a slight upturn of his lips, he looked so spirited.

Jackeylove and the others next to him were so excited they almost jumped up on the stage.

"Awesome! This is SKT! They're not that great!!" Jackeylove put his hands on his hips, looking incredibly proud of himself.

The thought of turning that arrogant taddy into a dog by him filled him with immense satisfaction.

"They've always been a paper tiger," Meiko sighed. "SKT has never beaten me in all these years."

"Holy crap? Fields!"

Rooike thought about it carefully and realized that Meiko was right. From S5 to now, Meiko had won every match against SKT, though it could be considered a kind of opportunistic trick.

Because he didn't face SKT in the S5 World Championship and the S6 World Championship.

"Then you really know how to exploit loopholes." Chu Ran said disdainfully, "Then why don't you talk about S5 and S6? Did you not match up with SKT because they avoided their strength, or because they were simply not going to meet each other?"

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, TheShy laughed out loud and immediately shouted "Meiko is awesome!" Then he took the lead and walked towards SKT's competition booth.

At this moment, on the SKT's playing area.

Khan's hands were trembling, but he wasn't beaten like this by TheShy; he was beaten like this by Jackeylove's Draven. During this game, he thought of many bad memories.

Back then, Chu Ran's Draven defeated him in the same way, cutting through everything in his path.

Unexpectedly, it happened again this year. One axe blow shattered his Dao heart. Why can't he beat Chu Ran? He has never won.

Faker and Mata share the same thoughts. The two FMVPs are now in a daze and cannot accept being put on the pillar of shame, especially Faker.

His whole body was trembling; even someone as powerful as a god was having thoughts of retiring.

Last year, Faker was defeated by Chu Ran in the All-Star Solo match, and was also speed-killed by Chu Ran twice. He began to doubt himself, feeling that he would never be able to beat Chu Ran if he continued to play like this.

even.

The reason he won those championships was because Chu Ran didn't compete at the time. If Chu Ran had competed, he definitely wouldn't have won them.

too strong.

Faker realized that his talent and hard work were nothing compared to Chu Ran's. He thought he was a very versatile player, but he didn't know what it meant to be outmatched until he met Chu Ran.

As for Clid, he was completely stunned and was still in a sleepwalking state, not yet fully awake.

Their rookie AD carry, Taddy, was sobbing uncontrollably at the table. He never expected that his hard work in training would end like this in his first World Championship!

This is too hard to accept.

It wasn't until they finished shaking hands with Chu Ran and the others that they snapped out of their daze. Looking at Chu Ran and his group walking in the center of the stage and bowing to the audience, everyone had a complicated expression, completely lacking the confidence they had before the competition.

At the same time, the LPL commentators' booth once again resounded with exclamations of praise from Guan Zeyuan and others.

"Let's give IG another round of applause! Congratulations to Chu Shen, congratulations to LPL! They not only won their opening match at MSI today, but also set an unprecedented record!"

"IG from our LPL is undoubtedly the super team this year, and Chu Shen has once again shocked the world!"

"There was a time when everyone idolized Faker, but now, times have changed! Our LPL is no longer the region that can never win a championship. We, the LPL, have our own Faker! And we are even stronger than Faker!"

"He is—the miraculous player, Easy!!"

hiss!
When Guan Zeyuan's words reached the audience's ears, everyone couldn't help but gasp and froze on the spot.

They are LPL's own Faker, even surpassing Faker. Looking at Chu Ran on the stage, surrounded by stars, after a brief moment of shock, everyone immediately responded to Guan Zeyuan's words with applause and cheers, which caused a huge uproar in the venue and the live broadcast rooms of various competition regions!
