LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 346: Devastating G2, Winning the MSI Championship Again!

After Chu Ran posted this Weibo post, countless people with a penchant for humor rushed to see it, and they burst out laughing the moment they saw it.

[666, you're so bold! What are you implying, Chu Shen?]

[This is hilarious! Getting second place doesn't make him the world's best ADC. After all these years, Chu Shen still hasn't let go of the "bathing dog" (a derogatory term for Chu Shen).]

[Chu Shen: If the bathing dog doesn't retire, I won't let him go.]

Let us welcome the great Father Perkz!

[Haha, another one added to the priest's position. Who would have thought Perkz would be playing AD this year?]

In an instant, Chu Ran's Weibo post went viral and was shared by countless people, eventually catching Uzi's eye.

He's famous again.

Because of his presence, the temperature at the RNG club is always high, and even the water bill is several times higher than that of other clubs, because Uzi takes too many showers to cool down.

People like Xiaohu are always trying to ride on Uzi's popularity.

"What a beast!! Is he never going to stop? It's been almost three years, and he's still clinging to me like a dog. How long is he going to keep smearing me? He's number one in traffic now, and he's still trying to ride my coattails. Is he a beast?!"

At this moment, Uzi still thought that Chu Ran was trying to generate traffic and attract attention for himself in order to get the upcoming MSI finals.

Little did they know that Chu Ran just thought it was fun and wanted to gain some red temperature value to improve his various attributes.

Besides, Chu Ran couldn't help but laugh whenever he thought of Uzi's flushed face. He wanted to keep teasing Uzi for the rest of his life.

"What a bunch of idiots! These viewers are morons too. Was it my fault that we lost to G2 last year?"

Uzi is back to writing his own history.

Last year, he lost to G2 and couldn't even pick up the lantern. He was practically handing the ball to them. Even if he wasn't a complete culprit, he was definitely a Class A war criminal.

But for him, that was perfectly normal.

After all, when we win, it's always me carrying the team; when we lose, it's always my teammates being bad. Uzi has never changed this over the years, but he's toned it down a bit this year. Maybe time and reality have worn down his edges.

"Perkz doesn't even deserve to be called a priest. What kind of champion is he?"

Uzi was furious and wanted to argue with netizens, but when he thought that criticizing Perkz would be tantamount to siding with Chu Ran, he immediately changed his mind and started commenting on Chu Ran's Weibo using a secondary account.

[Hey, you're really messing around. Are G2 that bad this year? You only got second place, do you think you can win MSI again? Where did you get your confidence? Do you think your bot lane can even beat Perkz?]

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Mazi immediately started using a alternate account to follow up, instantly triggering a full-scale resurgence of GSL, which immediately rushed up and attacked like a rabid dog.

Just a few seconds later, Uzi found that someone had replied to his message. When he opened it, his pupils dilated immediately because it was Chu Ran who replied to him.

【Uzi?】

"grass!"

"Did that bastard install cameras here? Or is there a mole among us?" Uzi stared at Xiaoming. If there was a mole, Xiaoming, who had played in the All-Star game with Chu Ran and the others, was the most suspicious.

"Don't look at me, I didn't," Xiaoming quickly shook his head and explained.

Just as Uzi was having doubts, Chu Ran's next reply arrived.

[Stop looking, there's no mole. It's just that your sour grapes attitude is exactly like Uzi's. And look at your IP address, it's Jian Zihao's, and another one is Ning Mazi's, and then there's the monkey from Mount Emei. They're all using smurf accounts. What? Are you too ashamed to show your faces? True, you couldn't even make it to MSI, you really are ashamed.]

"You're paralyzed!"

boom!
Uzi threw his phone away again, and he and Ning Mazi were both furious.

Seeing their reactions, Xiao Hu and the others suppressed their laughter. After all these years, they still hadn't gotten used to it. They also admired Chu Ran's ability to control the red temperature of Uzi and the others.

Why can't we learn from them?

Anyway, as long as I don't offend Chu Ran, I won't be remembered by him. If Chu Ran occasionally picks a fight on me, so be it, since I can't win anyway if we really fight.

"Can't someone come and teach this beast a lesson?" Ning Mazi cursed. "If G2 wins, I won't buy new shoes for a month!"

Not only Ning Mazi and Uzi, but many other people also started supporting G2 online at that moment.

Although some critics don't want to see G2 win the championship, they would rather see IG lose!
Especially Chu Ran!
At the same time, G2's China expert also translated Chu Ran's Weibo post for Perkz.

Perkz simply smiled when he saw it and immediately had his club post a message on Weibo.

G2 opened their Weibo account two years ago and has been very active ever since.

A moment later, a post appeared on G2's official Weibo account.

There's nothing else, just a picture.

A small figure with the G2 team logo above its head is directing a small dog that leaps into the air, pointing at the small figure opposite with the IG team logo above its head.

Above the image is a string of text: "Go, bite him to death."

Upon seeing this scene, many viewers were momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered, and the entire Weibo account was immediately filled with continuous laughter.

[Haha, what do you mean? I'm asking you what G2 means. Is that dog you're walking a bath dog?]

I really like your Weibo posts, but remember to turn off private messages!

【No way, Perkz, do you think you're some kind of god, unafraid of GSL? You've lost your nationality, let me tell you.】

[Perkz, beware of divine retribution!]

[I'm laughing so hard! G2 really knows how to create hilarious moments; Chu Shen has a worthy successor!]

At this moment, countless GSL players were so angry that they were practically dead. They couldn't out-argue Chu Ran, but could they out-argue G2?
They had only said a couple of sentences when all sorts of comments about the "double laugh" and "laughing all the way to Season 9" flooded in, making them furious, but they had no room to refute them.

As for Uzi, needless to say, he was already overheated by Chu Ran, and now with Perkz's actions, RNG's water bill is constantly rising. It took countless tons of bathwater to bring Uzi's temperature down.

Although Chu Ran and Perkz both started a war of words with Uzi on Weibo, it also completely ignited a major battle between the supporters of the two teams.

In the days leading up to the finals, fans of both sides were arguing fiercely on various forums, and videos and discussion posts praising G2 were everywhere, as if they were being paid to do so.

The sales pitches are basically the same.

What do you mean this year is the European team version? Riot Games, for its own development, will not allow Chu Ran to continue winning the championship. After so many years, the European and American regions should have won a championship.

The most common point of discussion is that Chu Ran is currently a jungler and doesn't have the ability to carry in matches. Previously, Chu Ran was a mid laner and top laner. If he could dominate the opponent in lane, then Chu Ran would still have room to perform.

They might pull off all sorts of miraculous plays that ordinary people would consider impossible.

However, Chu Ran is now playing jungle, and the jungler position is very dependent on lane control in all three lanes. If the three lanes are at a disadvantage, the jungler will also be at a disadvantage. Then the person who said this started comparing the data of the players from the two teams.

Aside from Chu Ran, the only advantage IG has is in the top lane, TheShy. As for the bottom lane, Perkz completely crushes Jackeylove, and in the mid lane, Rooike and Caps are evenly matched.

In the match, Rooike is highly likely to lose to Caps, thus losing mid lane control and further limiting the development space for the jungler and bot lane duo. If TheShy's development isn't good enough, IG's probability of losing the game is extremely high. This statement was very well-reasoned and received a lot of support, becoming the biggest voice on the internet during the off-season.

The break ended quickly, and the MSI finals, which had been eagerly anticipated and discussed by audiences around the world for a week, were about to begin. At 1 p.m., the sports stadium in the center of Vietnam's largest city was already packed with people.

Chu Ran and the others were used to this situation and had seen it many times before, but they were somewhat annoyed that the cheers for G2 were louder.

"Holy crap, so many people supporting G2?" Meiko exclaimed in surprise. "Where are our fans?"

"Tianye, what are you thinking? There are so many people hoping we lose right now," Jackeylove complained.

The next second, Meiko seemed somewhat unconvinced and slowly said, "Wenbo, you've got it wrong. The whole world wants Ran and me to lose. You're not one of them."

"Nima!"

Looking at the scene before him, Chu Ran's lips curled into a slight smile. "Do you think I'll lose?"

"Oh no, Ran-ge has set it up again."

As Meiko finished speaking, they walked into the lounge of the venue. Soon, the opening ceremony of the MSI finals was presented to everyone. The stands of the venue were filled with a dense crowd of people.

The popularity of the live streams in various regions is also soaring rapidly, comparable to the popularity of last year's World Championship, especially in the European region, where almost every League of Legends player is watching the matches right now.

Soon, the opening ceremony ended, and amidst the host's loud announcements, promotional videos for both sides began to appear on the big screen, and everyone started to take the stage one after another.

Caps: I will help the European region win its first MSI championship.

Perkz: The world's number one ADC tastes pretty good too.

Rooike: It hasn't been easy to get to where we are today, and I will do everything I can to protect everything on IG.

Finally, when Chu Ran's handsome face appeared, accompanied by his resounding voice, he said, "I've won the MSI championship twice. Some people say I should be content, but I feel that's far from enough. As long as I stay on the professional stage, I will win all the championships, and no one can stop me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene and in the live broadcast room was immediately stirred up, and the haters and fans started a new round of battle.

G2 fans, in particular, felt that Chu Ran was far too arrogant.

[What are you pretending for, you beast? You can hold more garbage than a Vietnamese garbage can.]

[You've won every championship, huh? You really think you're a god, that you'll never lose, right?]

[Waiting for Ran to get thrashed by G2 this time!]

Amidst the heated discussion among the audience, the camera immediately focused on the commentary booths of the major competition zones. In the European zone's commentary booth, several bearded commentators were all smiles and full of confidence, discussing the upcoming finals at length.

"I am more optimistic about G2. Just as many netizens have analyzed during this period, our G2 mid laner Caps is in better form than Rooike. Once Rooike is suppressed, Easy will definitely not be able to play a significant role."

"Yes, IG is actually a team that relies heavily on their mid and jungle. Even if their bot lane is at a disadvantage, they can still win as long as they maintain an advantage in their mid and jungle. But against G2, it's difficult for them to do that."

"If that's the case, then IG will have to put the burden of carrying the game on the top and bottom lanes. But to be honest, it's hard for TheShy and Jackeylove to shoulder that responsibility."

Their words resonated with many viewers. The underlying message from several European commentators was that if the burden of the C match were placed on the top or bottom lane...

Then there's a high probability that he'll die suddenly.

Can the two of them have sex? Yes, they can.

However, their instability could give G2 an opportunity to exploit and create a breakthrough. Therefore, if G2 can contain Rooike, they have a high probability of defeating Chu Ran and breaking his undefeated streak.

At the same time, in the LPL commentary booth, Miller, Guan Zeyuan, and Wang Duoduo were also on high alert, but their faces showed some worry.

"Miller is right. What I'm worried about is Rooike's performance. If Rooike is suppressed by Caps, this BO5 will be very difficult for IG."

"I agree with Teacher Zeyuan's opinion. If Rooike can't gain an advantage, then Chu Shen will have to focus more on the bottom and top lanes. Actually, this is a bit out of line with IG's style, but it's okay. We believe in IG and we believe in Chu Shen!"

"That's right! Over the past two years, Chu Shen has created too many miracles, and we believe that he will bring us another thrilling match today!"

As Guan Zeyuan and his group finished speaking loudly, a chorus of mockery erupted in the live stream.

[These sycophantic commentators are really making a mess of things.]

Even the official supporters are backing G2, so why do people still think IG will win?

[Did SKT get overconfident after playing against bots?]

If IG beats G2 today, I'll run around naked while having diarrhea, catching it with my hands and eating it all at the same time.

[66666, screenshot taken!!]

Meanwhile, in Uzi's and others' live streams, some of them formed a commentary team in the live streaming world, discussing today's final match with many viewers, which goes without saying.

They're all big haters. Even if they think IG might win, they definitely won't say it out loud. On the contrary, they'll cheer for G2 fiercely.

The head of Riot Games is quietly watching this match, and he has incredibly high expectations for G2.

Really.

If Chu Ran isn't defeated soon, many people will quit the game. Facing such a powerful player, there's absolutely no hope of winning, so what's the point of having fun? We might as well just stop holding the competition every year.

Just send the trophy directly to Chu Ran's house.

In an instant, the cheers and shouts from the crowd were deafening, seemingly about to overturn the entire competition venue, as countless spectators craned their necks in anticipation.

but.
An hour and a half later.

The entire venue fell silent. Staring at G2, who had been wiped out again, on the big screen, viewers around the world stared wide-eyed. The G2 fans and European commentators who had been so confident just moments before now erupted in heart-wrenching screams.

"NO! NO! My god! How could this happen!!" A bearded man clutched his scalp, utterly dumbfounded. "G2—! Oh no!!"

"G2, on whom we had high hopes, will be swept 3-0 by IG, missing out on this year's MSI championship!! This shouldn't be happening!!"

His tone was filled with disbelief, and even immense sadness, while the LPL commentators on the other side of the coin were in stark contrast.

Miller and the others were trembling with excitement. Watching the IG army advance and about to destroy G2's crystal, Guan Zeyuan immediately raised his arms and shouted in his hoarse voice.

"One wave!!"

"IG!! They've made history again! Who said IG might lose to G2? Who said Rookie couldn't beat Caps?! In three games, Rookie completely dominated Caps!"

"IG completely crushed G2 in three games with their three lanes! This is IG! This is our LPL's super team!"

"Congratulations to IG for winning the 2019 MSI championship!!!"

In an instant.

The crystal exploded, freezing into fragments, utterly shattering the hopes of G2 fans. However, many IG supporters felt a surge of triumph, venting their anger with fervor.

Shouts and cheers mingled together, turning the scene and the live broadcast room into a boiling ocean!
