LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 344 Reclaiming Glory, See You in the Second Half of the Year, My Friend.

After Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, many viewers cheered and shouted for Chu Ran again.

Is this LPL's own Faker?
Although this statement made some people uncomfortable, looking at Chu Ran's handsome appearance and considering his achievements in his professional career over the years, they realized it was indeed true.

In some respects, Chu Ran's achievements even surpass those of Faker.

Although many of Chu Ran's haters and Han's fans began to criticize Guan Zeyuan's words, they were quickly silenced by others who angrily retorted, effectively shutting them down with a single sentence.

[Speedrunned at 15 minutes and 04 seconds, do they still have the right to complain?]

[Is this another case of BO1 just a warm-up, and BO5 is where the real test begins?]

[Haha, he's been nailed to the pillar of shame twice in a row. What kind of "Great Demon King" Faker is he? His record over the years is just a load of bull. He should just retire already. He's too old to embarrass himself. Isn't he just destroying his own god-like status?]

The barrage of comments kept scrolling, and the popularity of each event's live stream had soared to its peak.

At the same time, in Doinb and Gao Tianliang's live stream, a flood of comments calling for a purge emerged.

[My God, how did SKT get speedrunned? How come Faker is even worse than you, you monkey from Mount Emei?]

[Hey Tian, ​​can you learn this speedrun of SKT's jungler? Stop watching, or you'll get Jade Syndrome!]

These comments made Gao Tianliang's face turn ashen. He immediately shut down the live stream and then punched the table.

"What kind of trash is SKT?"

"My goodness, I thought SKT was going to be really strong this year."

When Doinb and Gao Tianliang finally agreed on something, his livestream couldn't continue because they couldn't even finish banning all the comments from them.

"SKT is so bad, I could do better myself. If it weren't for someone on our team sleepwalking this year, I think we might have won MSI."

Upon hearing this, Gao Tianliang glared at Doinb with a murderous look, making the already eerie atmosphere in the training room even more suffocating. Fortunately, GimGoon quickly smoothed things over.

To be honest, he doesn't want to stay in FPX at all now. Playing professionally here is more stressful than playing professionally in their LCK.

In LCK, it's at most bullying; in FPX, it's always Doinb being sarcastic and sarcastic.

Not only Gao Tianliang, but also Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang were not spared. If Doinb hadn't been the core of the team, he probably would be lying on the ground by now.

Chu Ran and his team were naturally unaware of FPX's situation. After the match, Jackeylove, who had finally won the MVP award, came to the interview area for a brief interview.

His face was filled with excitement, and all his words were praise for Chu Ran.

"I think the person we should thank the most for our achievements today is our boss and teammate Easy. Without him, we all have many shortcomings, but after he came to IG, he carefully helped us improve, which is why we are in such good form this year."

"Um"

"That's right. In today's match, Easy made all the command and decision-making. We were only responsible for execution, which is why we achieved such a result against SKT."

"Did you ever think you'd win today's match?"

At this point, Jackeylove's lips curled up, then he shook his head, "Of course I thought about it, but I didn't expect to win so easily."

[Haha, Yu Wenbo, you've got some nerve!]

[Hilarious! Yu Wenbo, are you as reckless as Chu Shen?]

[That wasn't just an easy win; it was like strolling through the canyon, easier than playing against bots.]

After Jackeylove said those words, many LPL viewers burst out laughing.

Today's speedrun against SKT has truly made countless fans feel proud and has even cured some people's fear of Korean culture.

Even after more than two years, and Chu Ran has led LPL to two championships, some viewers still have a deep-seated fear of LCK.

Or perhaps what they fear isn't LCK, but SKT, and even more so, SKT's mid laner, Faker.

However, after today's match, some people's fears have been completely dispelled. At this moment, they realize that SKT is just like that, and the so-called Faker is just like that.

He is no longer the invincible young hero he once was.

Faker's getting old!

The world is full of outstanding people, and every generation produces its own talents. The League of Legends professional competition has now entered the era of Chu Ran.

After the match, the word "IG" dominated the trending topics on major domestic forums, with no end in sight.

#1504! IG speedruns SKT! #
#Setting a new record, the fastest League of Legends professional match ever!#
#If you don't understand, ask away: Stormrazor vs. Doran's Blade, how would you play this game?#
#Jackeylove's Draven!#
#What elite teams? We're just playing against elite teams! LCK has lost again. LPL is the number one region!#
These trending topics, if you click on any one of them, will generate tens of thousands of comments, even overshadowing some celebrity concert and new movie announcements, leaving some agents and company staff feeling overwhelmed.

Every time they try to do a promotion, a group of gamers steal the spotlight. Who can they complain to?

This trending topic also made several IG players quickly become popular, especially Jackeylove and TheShy. The two major fan groups, "water ghost" and "zombie," are rapidly coalescing. After all, they are also good-looking, so they are naturally loved by female fans.

As for Chu Ran, he already has an enormous number of female fans.

Seeing Chu Ran reappear on the trending topics, some people who don't play League of Legends were unmoved. Even if they don't play the game, they all know who Chu Ran is, after all, he has been on the news.

Who in the world doesn't know this?

Amidst the trending topics, the famous rating post quickly came into the view of many people on Hupu and Anti-Japanese Bar.

nothing else.

This time, all members of IG achieved a perfect score of 10.0, while the highest score of any of the five members of SKT did not exceed 4. The criticism from netizens was endless.

[I'm laughing so hard. Can a human really choose a character like Sona or a Gemstone?]

SKT is simply inhuman; I'd even suspect they're five zombies dug out of the ground to play here.

[Why aren't you calling him a "Han Xiaozi" or a "Keza" anymore? Do you dislike Faker's 0-8 performance? He got one-shotted by Draven.]

[Damn it, can you sons of bitches stop barking? You're all barking after winning a BO1, but I'll crush you in a BO5!]

Why can't we cheer after winning? Are we supposed to be like SKT, barking like dogs online after getting stomped in 15 minutes?

In an instant, a joyful atmosphere filled the various forums. Those who had supported SKT before the match were purged on a large scale, and many viewers even dug three feet into the ground to find them from the dark, stinking ditch.

Especially on Bilibili, before the match, countless people said things like "IG will win, etc." One idle viewer took screenshots of all their words and uploaded them to the platform the moment Chu Ran and his team won, tagging each of those who made those pre-match boasts.

His video went viral as soon as it was released, attracting a large audience. Those who had made threats before the match were furious and wanted to bury their heads in the ground.

Some who couldn't stand it simply deleted their accounts, and from then on, Han Xiaozi and Ke Za successfully disappeared from the public eye.

Amidst this trending topic, Chu Ran and his group found a Chinese restaurant in Vietnam and began celebrating their success. While eating, Chu Ran took the opportunity to open Weibo and start editing.

Weibo IG-Easy:

I don't know what to say, so I'll tell you a lame joke.

I just passed by Vietnam's busiest food street and ran into a Chinese vendor. We chatted for a bit, and he told me he'd been in Vietnam for many years and had been running his stall on this street for just as long, but he still hadn't made much money. I asked him why.
The owner replied, "Because barbecue stalls aren't viable."

As soon as Chu Ran posted this Weibo, countless people who enjoy watching the show rushed over to see it. The moment they saw his post, they burst into laughter, instantly causing a sensation on Weibo.

[Hahaha, holy crap, genius!!]

Holy crap, a brand new version!

I can never tell if it's a hellish joke or a lame joke!

[What the hell? If the barbecue stand doesn't work, then Uzi can evolve, right?]

[Guys, I'll share mine too. Today my mom asked me to buy a watermelon, but she said not a Kirin watermelon. I asked why, and she said she wants to use watermelon seeds to grow her own, and Kirin watermelons—they don't produce seeds, so no way!]

[66666, I'm so jealous of netizens' talent!!]

I truly don't acknowledge your talent unless it's been published!

In no time, Chu Ran's Weibo post became the number one trending topic, and it quickly inspired countless netizens to imitate it. All sorts of lame jokes about Uzi being no good and barbecue stalls being no good sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

At this very moment, at the RNG club base.

Bang!
Uzi's phone shattered on the ground again, and his chubby face turned bright red.

No one expected that Chu Ran was just criticizing SKT, but these netizens managed to shift the topic to himself.

"Useless! What a trash SKT! They can't even beat IG!" Uzi roared.

Meanwhile, Ning Mazi was also the target of online mockery. A comment saying "Without those shoes, I really can't walk around the jungle" directly triggered Ning Mazi's few fans, causing them to emerge from hiding and then be beaten into deleting their accounts.

Even when Ning Mazi created a alternate account to participate, the result wasn't much better.

"Idiot! How can Ran Chu's fans be so disgusting! What's wrong with me liking to buy shoes? It's none of his business!"

Ning Mazi truly had nowhere to vent his anger. Given his volatile temper, he really wanted to run to Vietnam and punch Chu Ran a few times to vent his hatred, but there was nothing he could do now. They could only pray that IG would lose badly in the next match.

Ideally, the loss should be directly to Vietnam, so that the massive traffic generated today would backfire.

Many LPL club managements share this view. After IG's speedrun against SKT today, many people feel that training as hard as IG is the key to becoming a professional player, because results speak for themselves.

Riot Games and Fujii's management were terrified. They had originally wanted to dampen Chu Ran's influence at this MSI, and all the pre-tournament publicity and the idea of ​​"no kings meeting" had become a joke.

There is only one king in League of Legends, and that is King Chu.

The attempt to reduce Chu Ran's influence not only failed, but instead made Chu Ran famous all over the world once again, and his fans continued to grow.

To be honest, if it weren't for the need for fairness, Riot Games would have really wanted to step in and stop IG's later matches. Out of desperation, they started promoting IG's future opponents, focusing on Team Liquid, G2, and the Vietnamese teams.

It's called publicity, but it's really just flattery.

With the rise of European and American teams this year, and G2 being a terrifying super team, and with MSI being held in Vietnam this year, the Vietnamese region, as the host, will have divine assistance and might be able to take a bite out of IG.

But it's a pity.

Backfired.

As the group stage progressed over the next few days, Chu Ran led IG to a series of victories, avoiding any embarrassing defeats like the Vietnamese players, as he didn't want to end up like Jackeylove.

He lost to Vietnam, and then netizens will talk about him for the rest of his life.

As for the other teams, apart from G2, they faced absolutely no pressure. G2 only put a tiny bit of pressure on them in the two BO1 matches against G2.

Chu Ran's Graves and Olaf completely crushed the team, leaving Caps, the mid laner, completely neutralized and unable to unleash his full potential.

Aside from G2, the last match of the MSI group stage was the second BO1 game between IG and SKT. Many SKT fans and Koreans rekindled their hopes, and their commentators were eagerly anticipating the game from their seats.

"Oh, if SKT can speedrun IG in this game, then our past shame will be completely wiped away! Let's believe in Faker, believe in SKT!"

However, he made grand pronouncements before the match and talked nonsense during the match.

Looking at the huge score difference, IG had a lead of about 20 kills over SKT in just 15 minutes. Although it wasn't as terrifying as the BO1 match on the first day, it was still a massacre.

Witnessing Chu Ran's reckless charge with Kiana, the entire world was stunned. A 15-0 Kiana, is that even possible?

"It's okay, it's okay. As long as SKT finds a chance to kill this Qiyana, they will still have a chance. Don't you think it's possible that this Qiyana will be fed later?"

"Yes, let's assume that Qiyana's kill goes to Taddy, then SKT will have the resources to turn the tide."

However, before their nonsense could end, they saw on the big screen that Chu Ran's Qiyana had used her teleportation to steal the fire element, and then used E-Flash-QR.

In SKT's lower jungle, everything suddenly collapsed. Taddy and Mata were slammed against the wall and instantly killed.

“Lengendary!”

When the voice of the godlike figure rang out again, it completely stunned the audience all over the world!
On the LPL commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan immediately raised his arms excitedly and shouted, "My God! Chu Shen's Qiyana's damage instantly killed the SKT bot lane duo!"

"Who exactly is saying that God Chu has never played Qiyana and therefore can't play her? There's no champion that God Chu hasn't seen before, and there's no champion that God Chu can't play!"

"Kiana's amazing skills!"

Many people wanted to object to Guan Zeyuan's statement, but seeing Chu Ran's record, they really didn't know how to refute it.

After the ban/pick phase ended, some people said that Chu Ran had never played Qiyana before, so SKT deliberately let this overpowered champion out of the game just to have an extra ban slot.

All right.

Now the whole world knows whether Chu Ran can play Kiana.

This Kiana is absolutely terrifying!
Amidst the wailing of countless Korean fans, the BO1 series ultimately ended in a crushing defeat for SKT. Many Korean fans were utterly disillusioned with this year's MSI campaign, but the real despair was yet to come.

A few days later, the words "3-0" appeared on the big screen in the huge stadium, which stunned the entire LCK region.

They have SKT down 3-0.

what.

wrong.

They were down 3-0.

None of the major regions expected that, in addition to being crushed by IG in the BO1, they would also be swept 3-0 by G2 in the BO5, which they had been eagerly anticipating in SKT's home arena!

They also want to revive the glory of LCK.

See you in the second half of the year!
Is this still the SKT dynasty they know?
strangeness!

The overwhelming sense of unfamiliarity made many SKT fans feel suffocated, and some even wanted to throw the entire SKT team to the north!

At that moment, deathly silence filled the venue and the live broadcast room, and then an unstoppable storm swept across all the competition areas!
