LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 354 Want to finish him off? Impossible, Pure Wandering Dragon!
"Okay, all I can say is that Chu Shen's first match back in the professional arena caught us completely off guard. He played Sylas jungle, which we haven't seen much of before, but it made us believe in Chu Shen because he hasn't lost a single game yet!"

As Guan Zeyuan shouted, Summoner's Rift gradually unfolded on the big screen, and the audience at the scene cheered enthusiastically.

On the LCK commentary booth, several Korean commentators were all smiles. "I don't think Sylas is very useful in the jungle anymore. This champion's level and equipment are very important. He is in the jungle position, so his gold and level are naturally relatively poor. I don't really know how Easy is going to play him."

"Yes, I feel that GRF has a 70% chance of winning this game."

The game had barely begun, and the South Koreans were already popping champagne.

Various signals echoed throughout Summoner's Rift. The two sides met in the river, but there was not much conflict. They just glanced at each other and then took their positions in a long line.

"Ran-ge, the bot lane doesn't need to come this game, there won't be any problems at all," Meiko said confidently.

After all, they were facing a Garen and a Yuumi. As long as they controlled the rhythm and prevented Garen from pushing the minion wave in, they could win. However, it would be very difficult to gain any advantage.

“Indeed, look at how crazy this game is for me, Jackeylove.” He smiled confidently.

At 1 minute and 40 seconds, the jungle monsters began to spawn one after another. Both mid laners placed wards at the F6 location to track the positions of their junglers.

"Oh, Rooike and Chovy are doing exactly the same thing here, both placing wards at their respective F6 camps. Both junglers are starting with red buff, but Chu Shen's Sylas doesn't have much jungle clearing ability," Miller analyzed.

“Yes.” 957 quickly agreed, “Sylas is a champion with poor wave clear in lane, and he’ll be even slower in the jungle. Both sides have taken the red buff, and Chu Shen is choosing to continue farming the Krugs. Tarzan doesn’t seem to have much of an idea either. It’s a bit difficult to gank with the top and mid laners at level two.”

On the field, Chu Ran kept his eyes fixed on the mid lane and immediately said to Rooike, "I'll go to the mid lane later and see if there's a chance to imprison them."

"Should we just go straight to it?" Rooike asked in return.

"Let's go straight in, clearing the jungle is too slow, it won't work." Chu Ran signaled to his own bottom lane tri-bush, "Is there a ward here?"

"No."

Hearing Meiko's reply, Chu Ran felt relieved and immediately gave up on farming the Krugs. He used the triangular bushes as a path to cross the river and head towards the middle lane.

Chovy wasted his ward on F6 at level 1, so if Chu Ran went over there like that, Chovy would definitely have no vision. Although it would take a lot of time, and by the time Chu Ran got there, Chovy's Syndra would already be level 2, Chu Ran still felt there was a chance.

"Hey, what do you mean? Chu Shen took a long detour to gank mid at level two, but it seems like he didn't have a chance. Chovy played very steadily this time." Guan Zeyuan's eyes widened.

"Oh no, if we don't manage to gank this time, Chu Shen will lose a lot of time. He's already slow at clearing jungle camps, and now he's wasting so much time clearing them." 957 said with some worry.

At that moment, seeing Chu Ran's actions, several Koreans burst out laughing, some with schadenfreude. "Oh! Has Easy gone mad? Is he grabbing people like this? I feel like he's going to ruin himself. As long as Chovy is careful here, nothing will happen!"

At the same time, Chovy was looking at his minimap. He didn't see Chu Ran in F6's field of vision, so he thought there were only two possibilities.

First, Chu Ran bypassed the F6 vision and went to the upper half of the map. Second, he went to the Krugs and then the River Crab.

Chovy had no idea that Chu Ran would take such a long way to ambush him, because such an action was really too risky, and he was in good condition with Flash in hand, making it almost impossible for him to be caught and killed.

In that case, any jungler who dares to do that will be in trouble. They'll waste jungle clearing time and ruin their rhythm. No normal person would do something where the risk far outweighs the reward.

But unfortunately... Chu Ran is not a normal person.

In the blink of an eye, Chovy was poised to last-hit a minion when he managed to harass Rooike and control the minion wave, aiming to gain both a trade of damage and lane control. But it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Before Chovy could react, Rooike's Qiyana appeared like a ghost, radiating golden light. Then, within Chovy's vision, an arc was released from Qiyana's hand, about to hit his face. Chovy immediately used Flash.

"My God! Rooike's Flash Imprisonment was reacted to by Chovy, but what about Chu Shen?!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed, watching Chu Ran's every move.

On the screen, Chu Ran used minions as springboards, and his W dash instantly closed the distance with Chovy.

The moment Chovy saw Chu Ran, who appeared as Silas, his pupils dilated violently. He couldn't believe it; he hadn't expected Chu Ran to actually try to catch him like this, which was truly beyond his comprehension.

But a second later, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "To hell with the blue jungle, this Sylas is a disaster!"

Chovy was very confident. He felt that Chu Ran couldn't kill him at all. After seeing Chu Ran use Flash after using W to dash, Chovy immediately ducked into the top river bush and started positioning himself.

"E is incorrect!"

But just as Chovy was silently thinking this, he saw a long chain sweep across the canyon, as if it had GPS, and suddenly lock onto him, leaving Chovy dumbfounded.

"Siba!"

He cursed angrily, thinking that Chu Ran was really lucky to be able to guess his movements even without his sight.

"My God! E hit! Chu Shen's prediction on Sylas is simply amazing! He followed up with E right away. Now that the red buff is there, is there any chance to kill him?!"

Miller yelled at the top of his lungs, "Tarzan's spiders are coming to reinforce us! Damn it, Chu Shen alone isn't enough to deal enough damage. Is he going to chase them again?! We can't chase them anymore, or something bad will happen!"

"Be careful of the spider's Blink cocoon!" 957's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, several Korean players from the LCK were very excited, exclaiming, "Tarzan's Flash-Cocoon combo is insane! Your Sylas is insane!"

But before he could finish speaking, Chu Ran immediately controlled Sylas to slightly twist his body, directly dodging Spider's Flash Cocoon. Since he dared to pursue so deeply, he must have been prepared for this long ago.

For a moment, everyone at the scene and in the live stream was stunned. Tarzan even exclaimed in disbelief, "What kind of movement is that?"

No one could answer him. Chovy looked very nervous. He had missed his cocoon and hadn't learned the Weak Man's Retreat. Now his health was in grave danger.

"Holy crap, Chu Shen!"

Rooike was stunned to see Chu Ran dodge the spider's cocoon, and immediately cheered for him.

"Sibba, stop him!" Chovy was frantic. He had nowhere to retreat, but the spider was empty and had spun its cocoon. Tarzan didn't know how to save Chovy either, so they could only team up to attack Chu Ran.

"Oh, Tarzan is starting to fight back against Chovy, but Chovy's health is very low, and TheShy pushed the lane first, with Rooike behind him."

"Syndra! Chovy's health is almost gone, does Chu Shen have a chance?!"

Guan Zeyuan spoke rapidly, like a machine gun, and then raised his arm and shouted, "First blood is in, Chu Shen!!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, Chovy's Syndra crashed to the ground, and a powerful game announcement quietly echoed throughout Summoner's Rift, leaving many feeling somewhat shocked.

"IG-Easy has killed GRF-Chovy!"

"First blood!"

At that moment, the director gave Chovy a close-up, and he was seen punching the armrest of his chair with some resentment, his lips moving, and anyone could tell that he was saying 'Shiba'.

The cheers at the scene immediately became even more deafening, and the live stream chat exploded at that moment.

[6666! Hey, stop talking nonsense!!]

Do you even know what a Chu-style jungler is? It's someone who never plays by the rules!!

[That's incredible, Chu Shen! That blind-vision prediction left me completely stunned.]

The live chat was buzzing with discussion. In the LCK commentary booth, several Koreans were lamenting, "Pizza, Chovy! Tarzan! Can't we replace this Sylas?!"

Seeing Sylas with low remaining health on the screen, they were impatient. Chovy was already dead and beyond saving, so they had to kill Sylas to minimize the damage. However, it seemed they had no chance to kill Sylas, especially after seeing Chu Ran use Smite on the Rift Scuttler to heal. Many Korean players felt their hearts sink in that instant.

"Wow! Chu Shen! He directly punished the river crab, giving himself a huge kill, and with Rooike and TheShy flanking him, Tarzan didn't have Flash!!" Guan Zeyuan roared.

At this moment, Tarzan just wanted to retreat as quickly as possible, but without Flash, he didn't know where to run. In the end, his eyes turned somewhat desperate, and he angrily cursed.

"Axiba!"

After he finished speaking, Rooike took his head.

Upon hearing the news of another kill, the scene and the live stream immediately erupted in cheers, with countless IG supporters shouting wildly for them.

"Nice! My God, it's absolutely perfect. Chu Shen's high-risk decision brought high returns. He directly killed GRF's mid and jungle in the early game, and Rooike got the kill and the red buff."

"GRF's mid and jungle are doomed!"

"This is Chu Shen!!"

As Guan Zeyuan and his group roared with glee, many of the haters suddenly fell silent, and comments praising them began to appear on the screen.

[Is Sylas useless as a jungler?]

[Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand. Who said Sylas is useless as a jungler? Come out and apologize to Chu Shen.]

This is IG's top, mid, and jungle – they'll come straight for you to fight, don't be a coward, just go for it!

At the same time, on Korean online forums, many Koreans were furious.

[Tarzan, if you don't need your eyes, you can donate them to someone who does. You even managed to empty your eyes on this cocoon!]

[My grandma played better than Tarzan this time.]

[If your eyesight is failing, just retire already, okay? You beast!]

The game had barely begun when the mid and jungle players gave up, which was not good news for GRF.

At their match table, Chovy took a deep breath. "It's okay, we'll get back at them later."

"My jungle is gone."

Tarzan was a bit upset. He was thinking of making a name for himself in this BO5 by defeating Chu Ran, but he had just started the game and then fed the red buff and the Krugs. He could forget about taking the remaining F6 and the top river crab.

There might not even be any river crabs.

"Great job! Ran-ge is awesome."

Unlike GRF's somber tone, IG's team voice chat was filled with overwhelming praise.

“The louder the waves, the more expensive the fish.”

Chu Ran took a sip of water. "The other side can already make a move this round."

"So arrogant, Ran-ge?" Jackeylove joked. "Then I'll go pick up Garen and give him a Q."

"Then you'll make Ran Ge silent, break his defenses, and deliver a critical hit, Yu Wenbo," Meiko immediately retorted.

After this wave, Chu Ran immediately took the river crab and Tarzan's F6, but Chu Ran did not rush to return to base. Instead, he had Rooike push the minion wave. With the red buff and the kill advantage, Rooike and Chovy teleported back to their lanes at the same time. Rooike was naturally not worried about trading blows with Syndra to take lane control.

Seeing the mid lane minions pass by, Chu Ran went through the mid lane again, made sure there was no vision in the bottom river and didn't touch the bottom river crab, and then rushed towards Tarzan's blue jungle.

"Huh? What is Chu Shen trying to do? He's come to the blast fruit above GRF's blue buff, trying to ambush Tarzan. Is there any chance?" Miller's eyes widened, somewhat nervous.

At that moment, Tarzan was resurrected and fighting the three wolves. After clearing the three wolves, he placed a ward in his own blue buff bush. He did not find Chu Ran's trace, and he did not move the blue buff immediately. Instead, he continued to move forward and saw that the river crab was still dangling. He immediately felt relieved and raised his hand to wake up the blue buff.

"Damn it!! Tarzan, what are you doing! There's someone in front of you!"

Seeing this, the Korean commentators were really anxious. They hadn't expected Tarzan to only check one area. Above him, Chu Ran's Silas was watching them intently, which made them hold their breath.

"Watch out for Silas."

During GRF's voice chat, Chovy made a suggestion, and Tarzan responded, "He should be in his own blue jungle. It's unlikely that he would get first blood and come here to camp without going back to base."

Despite saying that, Tarzan still tried to keep the blue buff as far away as possible, so that even if Chu Ran was nearby and he couldn't find him, he would still have a lot of room to maneuver.

Countless eyes watched as Tarzan's blue buff's health dwindled. Just as things were about to turn around, Chu Ran shattered the explosive fruit, and Sylas's figure streaked across the sky.

For a moment, everyone in Tarzan was stunned.

“Sibba, this Silas is really here.”

"Wow! Chu Shen is here! He's going to go head-to-head with Tarzan! Whose blue buff is it?!"

"Oh my god, Chu Shen stole the blue buff! Tarzan is in danger!!"

Guan Zeyuan's loud voice echoed in the commentary booth. Tarzan was even more stunned when he saw his blue buff being stolen. He immediately called for his bot lane to come and help. Since Chu Ran's Sylas liked to counter-jungle so much, then let him die here.

Chu Ran only managed to land one combo on Tarzan before retreating immediately before Garen and Yuumi could arrive, which put GRF's bot lane in a difficult position.

When they came to support, Jackeylove and Meiko pushed the lane aggressively. Soon, the minion wave reached the tower, and Chu Ran immediately retreated. Tarzan had no choice but to come and protect his own bottom lane duo.

Available in the next second.

When Chu Ran placed a ward directly behind GRF's bottom lane tower, Tarzan and the others were all somewhat panicked, because the moment the ward landed, the light of TP appeared.

"My God, TP, TheShy's TP, and Sowrd doesn't have TP! His Gnar got forced to use TP by TheShy in lane! IG is taking advantage of this TP difference to make a move on GRF's bot lane!"

"4-man gank on 3, got it! Chu Shen's WE combo pulled Garen right in!"

Amidst gasps of surprise, GRF's team voice chat was filled with panic, with loud cries of terror constantly erupting. But facing IG's four-man gank on three, they had no chance to fight back.

Garen was instantly killed, and Elise, without Flash, used Yuumi to hang from the tower and buy time. However, Chu Ran was prepared to sacrifice himself, tanking the tower until he died, and finally took down both of them.

"IG-TheShy has killed GRF-Viper!"

"IG-Jackeylove has killed GRF-Tarzan!"

"Double kill!"

When these kill notifications appeared, countless viewers were stunned. Looking at the match time, it was only 5 minutes and 23 seconds, but GRF, on which many people had placed high hopes, had completely collapsed.

And then the major competition regions around the world were in an uproar!
