LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 348 proves that the only way for LPL to improve is through hard work.

Hearing the host's words, although most viewers had already prepared themselves, they still found it hard to believe.

After all, Chu Ran is a player that even a fist would strike.

They actually gave him the FMVP again, which also shows how terrifying Chu Ran's performance was in this MSI BO5 final. Even if Riot wanted to do something disgusting, they couldn't.

He won the FMVP award purely out of skill.

In an instant, the audience surged, and countless fans held up glow sticks and support signs, cheering and shouting for Chu Ran. Even Miller and the others in the commentary booth were no exception.

"My God, congratulations again to Chu Shen for winning the MSI FMVP! This is Chu Shen's third MSI finals FMVP, and he has only played in MSI three times since his debut. What a miraculous player he is! The whole world can hardly believe it!"

“That’s right!” Guan Zeyuan also spoke very quickly, “We can only say that the legend of the past came from Fake in LCK, but the legend of the current League of Legends professional arena is Chu Shen!”

"First came Chu Shen, then came the heavens! He can defeat heaven, earth, and even gods!" Wang Duoduo shouted at the top of his lungs. "We are proud of Chu Shen! He is the pride of our LPL, he is a milestone in Chinese e-sports!"

hiss!
When Wang Duoduo finished speaking, many viewers in the live stream gasped in shock.

Is this a milestone for Chinese esports?
It seems that Chu Ran does indeed meet the requirements; he is qualified to serve.

In an instant, the barrage of comments in the live stream room surged once again, becoming an endless river of messages, even causing some lag in the live stream room as it completely boiled over.

[6666! This is the God of Chu!]

[He's too strong! I don't know who else could defeat Chu Shen. Haters, can't you say something?]

[Sure enough, haters, speak up! Are your asses glued shut with superglue? You used to fart so much!]

Some people have won so many Finals MVP trophies they're practically rolling in them, while others haven't won a single championship yet. I won't name names.

[Hilarious! Does winning an intercontinental tournament even count as a championship?]

Seeing these comments, inside the RNG base, Uzi wished he could go over the internet and kill them.

"A bunch of bastards! LPL has become so pathetic because of them!" Uzi roared, his face flushed. He then looked at Chu Ran, who was full of vigor under the camera's lens, and couldn't help but bite his finger.

He felt that he saw the same scene every year.

"Damn it, why is Ran Chu the FMVP again?" Ning Mazi's eyes flashed with jealousy.

They're both junglers, but he's stuck at RNG and can't even get his full salary.

To be honest, Ning Mazi is now a little regretful. He should have known better than to listen to that beast Su Xiaoluo's arrangements and follow the path of Hei Hong Chu Ran.

At first glance, it seems like he gained a lot of traffic, but in reality, he lost a lot of money.

If he hadn't offended Chu Ran back then, he would probably still be playing jungle for IG, and he would have won many championships this year.

Actually, it wasn't just Ning Mazi; even though Uzi was red-hot, he was just as regretful as Manager Sanshao.

If it were back then
They didn't target Chu Ran, and by letting him leave RNG, does that mean he's now the undisputed world's best ADC?

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

At this moment, Xiao Hu and the others looked at Chu Ran's handsome figure with envy, wondering how long it would take for them to stand on this stage.

Karsa's lips twitched slightly; she was quite disappointed.

He came to RNG with the goal of winning the championship, but so far he hasn't even seen a glimpse of one. Looking at Chu Ran's figure, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

With such a person existing, do these people still have any hope of winning the championship?

The hope seems very slim.

Just as they were lost in thought, suddenly, Manager San Shao appeared beside them and said only one sentence, "From today onwards, everyone must follow IG's training plan without any objections!"

They had thought about learning from IG before, but many players were reluctant, thinking it was too tiring and might not be effective.

However, with Chu Ran leading IG to another championship, many LPL clubs, though somewhat unwilling to admit it, ultimately decided to strictly implement IG's training plan, even more rigorously than them.

Only in this way can we achieve results in the future.

Not only RNG, but also many other top teams that have been paying close attention to Chu Ran's actions, such as FPX and EDG, have increased their efforts in implementing these measures. It can only be said that from today onwards, even though some professional players who were giving up are very dissatisfied.

But all they could do was feel resentful. Unless he performed better than Chu Ran, he couldn't escape the high-intensity training in the LPL.

Chu Ran was naturally unaware of the changes happening in the LPL at this moment.

Under the spotlight, he stood proudly on the stage, holding the FMVP trophy in his hand, answering the host's questions.

With a confident smile on his face, Chu Ran raised the trophy in his hand and roared, "No one can defeat me! No one has ever defeated me before, no one has ever defeated me, and no one will ever defeat me!"

"My name is Easy!"

As Chu Ran's impassioned words fell, a huge uproar suddenly erupted in the scene and the live broadcast room, wildly stimulating everyone's auditory nerves, causing them to tremble all over, all infected by Chu Ran's words.

In the European commentary booth, the commentators wanted to object to Chu Ran's statement, but they didn't know where to begin their rebuttal.

The chat in their region's live stream exploded, with many viewers from the European and American regions cheering for Chu Ran, even though neither of their regions had yet achieved a breakthrough in winning the championship.

But that doesn't mean they weren't excited for Chu Ran.

To witness a professional player grow and reach the pinnacle of League of Legends while I'm still alive and League of Legends is still active is worthwhile, even if my own region's team loses.

【Oh, you are god! Easy! 】

This man is simply God.

[I hope our region can continue to work hard and finish off this man.]

This man is far too confident, yet he possesses the ability to be so confident.

In stark contrast to the European and American regions, the LCK commentators remained silent, their faces ashen. Even though no LCK team was in the finals, they didn't want to see Chu Ran win the championship again.

But the reality was that Chu Ran won the championship again, and the thing they least wanted to see happened. Watching Chu Ran on the stage, holding the FMVP trophy high and being surrounded by everyone, their region was filled with despair and sorrow.

[Damn, I used to think this guy was just pretending, but now I think he's absolutely right; he has no chance of losing.]

This person is terrifying; I don't think our LCK region will ever win a championship again.

This is absolutely despair-inducing. I suggest we disband the LCK region and let the LPL region play this game from now on.

[Who can beat him? And are those useless SKT players back? Can't you guys just disband this trash team? All you do is live off your past glory.]

Inside the SKT club.

Faker felt a pang of bitterness as he looked at the screen full of sarcastic remarks.

Seeing Chu Ran's dashing appearance, he felt a mix of emotions. He had thought this year would be the year he continued to dominate the major professional leagues, but after going to MSI, he was so badly defeated by Chu Ran that he was practically dead.

1504, once again placed on the pillar of shame.

This time, after losing the match, many South Koreans have forgotten his past glories, turning him from a former "demon king" into someone everyone hates.

If he fails to wash away this disgrace in the second half of the season, he may be seen by countless LCK viewers as a typical example of someone who occupies a position without fulfilling its duties, thus completely ruining his reputation in his later years.

Faker's eyes flickered slightly. In fact, he could retire at any time. Given his current achievements, although he did play some really badly in a few games, he would still be loved by many netizens even if he retired.

But sometimes, Faker can't help but fall into deep thought.

Besides playing games, what else can he do?
Looking at his hands, Faker felt he had to persevere. In the days to come, he would prove that he was still the hero who had never appeared in the League of Legends professional scene.

Chu Ran will eventually be defeated by his own hand.

With that, this year's MSI has finally come to a close, ending once again with LPL taking the championship.

Chu Ran and the others returned backstage in high spirits to pack their things. They didn't even think about having a celebration banquet in Vietnam, as the food was just too terrible. They immediately decided to take a flight back to China that night.

On the way to the airport, Jackeylove was counting on his fingers, then his face lit up with joy. "Holy crap, this time the bonus is almost $20 per person! That's awesome!"

"That's right, if you follow Brother Ran, you'll make a fortune sooner or later." Meiko quickly flattered him a few times, and then continued, "The internet is exploding right now, who would have thought that Brother Ran would win the championship again?"

"What do you mean by 'who could have thought of this'? It should be that they should have thought of it a long time ago."

Chu Ran touched the ends of his hair. As long as he existed, could the professional league championship still be a possibility?

While they were boarding the plane, Riot Games headquarters, thousands of miles away, was holding an emergency meeting to discuss only one thing: how to stop Chu Ran from winning the championship.

If Chu Ran continues to win championships like this, people from other regions won't know how to play anymore, especially in Europe and America, where they haven't won a single championship in all these years, just like the LPL back then.

If we don't win at the Bird's Nest, who the hell would still play this crappy game?

Last year, the LCK region's home ground resulted in an LPL internal battle in the finals. If it weren't for the LCK's deep foundation, the number of people quitting the game might have been much larger.

Difficult.

"Target him, isn't he playing jungle this year? Then weaken all jungle heroes, reduce jungle resources and experience so he can't play jungle carry, and revert the jungle last-hitting penalty mechanism back to normal."

"Weaken the dragon's attributes and force it to play a more tempo-oriented style. This way, most teams will still have a chance to win."

The suggestion was unanimously approved. We must take strong measures to curb Chu Ran's momentum in winning the championship. Even Faker and SKT, who were at their peak back then, were not as terrifying as Chu Ran.

They won all the league titles, leaving no room for anyone else to compete.

At the same time, the trending topics on various LPL forums exploded again, and many celebrities got used to seeing Chu Ran's name in the trending topics.

Over the past few years, Chu Ran has been trending on social media more times than they have eaten meals, which is simply beyond the reach of most people. Ordinary people can't even get on the trending list once, but for Chu Ran, the trending list chases after him.

#Chu Shen wins MSI Finals FMVP again!#
Congratulations to IG on winning their first World Championship title!
#The future of LPL is bright, because it's Easy!#
#Never Lose, Now, or Never Will—Excerpt from Chu Shen's Autobiography!#
Clicking on any trending topic reveals tens of thousands of comments, all praising and lauding it. Some veteran players who quit the game after the Bird's Nest stadium incident couldn't help but feel nostalgic when they accidentally saw these trending topics.

【Wait, Chu Shen won the championship again.】

[I'm completely numb. Although I don't play games much anymore, I still see Chu Shen trending on social media all the time.]

How many championships would be considered a lot for Chu Shen?

Wow, Chu Shen won the championship! His market value is probably going to go up a lot more.

As these viewers have said, Chu Ran has once again shone brightly on the world stage. Countless investors want to sponsor IG and Chu Ran, and they have even offered high prices. Although Chu Ran's shares in Panda TV and IG Club are not publicly listed, they are valued much higher in the eyes of many investment banks.

In monetary terms, the initial estimate is 200 billion RMB. These investment banks, including Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, and other capital firms, all want to invest in Chu Ran's Panda TV platform.

They all believed that as long as Chu Ran was around, Panda would definitely be the leading live streaming platform in China, and would eventually swallow up other live streaming platforms. Not to mention that Chu Ran was also vigorously developing short video platforms. Although it couldn't compare to Douyin, with Panda's massive user base, it was doing quite well.

From any perspective, pandas reveal unparalleled potential.

In an instant, the management of TV platforms like Douyu and Huya were green with envy, wondering how to defeat Panda TV, especially since Panda TV had recently poached a streamer named Xuxubao from Longzhu.

Originally, this streamer was just a small streamer broadcasting games for the elderly. Although he did well on Longzhu, he was not famous across the internet and many platforms did not pay attention to him. However, after joining Panda TV, he took off.

It's safe to say that he alone has helped Chu Ran earn an unknown amount of money, not to mention the other streamers from other regions.

Although Chu Ran didn't know much about business, he knew which streamers would be big names in the future, and he just needed to find a way to poach them; it would definitely be worth it.

As soon as Chu Ran landed, countless fans came to greet her at the airport, and even CCTV reporters began to follow and interview her, which immediately became a trending topic on the news.

The next day, the entire internet was flooded with mentions of Chu Ran. Even if you blocked them, they would pop up from every corner of the internet. Some video bloggers who simply mentioned "Chu Ran" would naturally attract huge traffic and earn more money than before.

In some cities, billboards are filled with advertisements featuring Chu Ran and IG.

As of now, it truly proves the saying: "Who in the world doesn't know you?"
A photo of Chu Ran with her autograph was sold for a million yuan on a second-hand trading website, sparking heated discussions online.

But this wasn't the most discussed topic among netizens. Starting from that day, countless professional players began to reveal in their live streams how much their training time had increased and how unbearable it was.

However, most netizens did not feel sorry for him at all. On the contrary, they wholeheartedly agreed that intensification is the right way for the LPL to operate!
