LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 355 Explosive Kill, World's Number One Middle School? World's Number One Supplement!
Seeing this scene, the audience at the stadium and in the live broadcast room cheered at the top of their lungs, waving their glow sticks and support signs in the air. The sound waves were enough to shake the entire sky and make people tremble.

In the LCK commentary booth, the smiles on the faces of several Korean commentators completely disappeared, replaced by heartbroken wails.

"No! Viper! Why is this happening? Why did the top laner have to use Teleport?"

"Sorwd, what are you doing?!"

They couldn't understand why, if it weren't for Yasuo's teleport, the bottom lane would have been fine, but it was precisely this teleport that led to IG having a numerical advantage.

The next second, the director immediately showed a replay of the top lane laning phase, where TheShy's Yasuo used his E to dash around and used his Wind Wall to take away a lot of Gnar's health, making Gnar unable to lane in an instant.

To play it safe, he had no choice but to use TP. However, Sorwd never expected that Chu Ran was not in the top half of the jungle. After the previous team fight, he went to the bottom half of the jungle. When he saw Chu Ran appear in his own blue jungle, he knew that something was definitely going to happen, but it was too late.

"Oh, TheShy's Yasuo play was too smooth. He directly created a TP advantage in lane, which allowed IG to complete this 4-man gank on 3, and ultimately achieved a huge advantage of 1 for 3."

After watching the replay, Miller was so excited that his face turned red, and he praised it enthusiastically. Guan Zeyuan next to him followed suit, "Yes, that's TheShy. Yasuo is already a counter, and with TheShy on the team, I can only say that GRF has completely collapsed."

“That’s right.” 957 was also somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect that the game was about to end so soon. “I can only say that Chu Shen’s jungler really gave GRF a hard time. He didn’t play by the rules at all.”

"Chu Shen used all sorts of high-risk, high-reward tactics, which shows his confidence in himself. And the facts have proven that this tactic has achieved very good results."

"Then the next match will be a bit difficult for GRF."

Upon hearing their words, many of the Korean fans and IG haters in the live stream immediately became unwilling.

[Are you commentators just licking my boots? It's just a slight disadvantage in the early game, why are you making it sound like IG is guaranteed to win?]

Can't our LPL commentators be a little more objective and neutral? Are they so biased towards their own region's teams? Where is their professionalism?

[Oh my, Han Xiaozi is getting anxious! I know you're all in a hurry, but hold on, there's more to come.]

[Haha, what GRF? This year's dark horse champion? How come they crumbled at the slightest touch? Is that all? Just like RNG and FPX, they're all just shockwaves.]

[Hilarious! There are countless shockwaves in the LCK, and who was just saying Chu Shen would be crushed by Tarzan?]

[Tazan? Tazan bastard!]

The chat was buzzing with discussion, and on the GRF stage...

Tarzan is getting a bit angry, and his cursing can be heard in the team voice chat: "Damn it, where's our top laner's TP? I'm so fed up. Is this guy really that brave to jungle? Is he really not afraid of dragging his teammates down?"

"Don't rush, you can still fight. Let's farm for a while first," Chovy kindly comforted him. "My farming is going pretty well."

Chovy pressed Tab, checked his CS, and smiled. Even after dying once, his CS was about the same as Rooike's. His mid lane advantage was about to turn around, and with some strategic maneuvering, the current situation could be reversed.

But Chu Ran didn't give him a chance at all. After resurrecting from the spring, Chu Ran walked towards his own lower half of the area again to clear out the monsters first.

Currently, there are no jungle monsters left in Tarzan's own jungle. When he respawns, he either ganks, invades, or wanders around waiting for the jungle monsters to respawn. Chu Ran thinks he will be the first one.

Tarzan wouldn't dare invade, as he hasn't secured control of any of the three lanes. Wandering around isn't Tarzan's current strategy, and his most likely objective is to gank Rookie in the mid lane since he doesn't have Flash.

Just as Chu Ran had predicted, Tarzan respawned and immediately charged towards the mid lane, signaling Chovy, "Is there a ward here?"

“No, it’s not up there. He planted it in the lower half of the river,” Chovy replied.

“Then I’ll come over,” Tarzan said quietly. “You seduce him.”

Watching the two sides' actions, Guan Zeyuan's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Hey, Tarzan wants to come over and grab Rooike, but Chu Shen seems to have guessed Tarzan's intentions and is going to come over and ambush him."

"Chovy is baiting us, deliberately giving Rooike space. My god, GRF is going to be in trouble again!!"

Seeing this, the Korean commentators were extremely anxious, wishing they could immediately hack into GRF's team voice chat to warn them that they couldn't go in this wave. However, when they saw Rooike seize the opportunity when Chovy made a mistake, they suddenly felt a sense of despair.

"Pizza!!"

Seeing Rooike take the initiative, Chovy's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but underestimate Rooike. He was too easily fooled; he was too reckless.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Just as Rooike's Qiyana used her E to immobilize Syndra, Tarzan's Elise appeared simultaneously.

However, Rooike was not flustered at all. On the contrary, he was delighted and amazed. "Holy crap, God Chu, you're like you've been given a cheat code."

At that moment, Tarzan roared in the voice chat, "Kill him! Kill him!"

He had just launched his attack when he saw Sylas charging towards Qiyana from behind, accompanied by Lulu.

All of a sudden.

Chovy and Tarzan were completely dumbfounded, their expressions changed drastically, and they were terrified.

"That's it, GRF. They thought they could catch Rooike this time, but Chu Shen had already guessed Tarzan's move. Because of the last wave, Jackeylove also had an advantage in the bottom lane, so he could push the lane quickly and directly call Meiko's Lulu over to help."

Miller raised his arms and shouted, "Chu Shen directly hit Chovy's Syndra with his E, used his W on Elise to dodge Syndra's Weakness Retreat, and then used his E to charge in! Chu Shen!!"

On the screen, everyone witnessed Chu Ran's Sylas drifting along the mid lane. When he moved next to Chovy, Chovy was drenched in sweat and panicked.

Without Flash or any skills, Syndra was caught off guard by Chu Ran's well-farmed Sylas, leaving her with no chance to fight back. Once Electrocute was triggered, Syndra's health was already at zero.

Seconds later, the kill was added, and then Rooike took down Tarzan.

Two more deafening kill notifications quietly rang out, shocking many viewers around the world. Many IG and Chu Ran fans were immediately overwhelmed with excitement, with shouts and comments pouring in.

On Korean online forums, upon seeing that GRF's mid and jungle players had fed again, people immediately erupted in hysterical lamentations.

"Damn it! Tarzan, what are you doing? There's no vision of the enemy jungler, why are you ganking?" Roaring Emperor clutched his head, his eyes wide with anger: "Pizza, completely pizza! GRF is already doomed in this game."

They were truly unable to accept that GRF had been beaten so badly in the very first game, with their mid and jungle players dying once again, and IG taking control of the first dragon, the Earth Dragon, completely turning the tide of the game for IG.

The entire IG booth was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, with everyone looking extremely relaxed, a stark contrast to the GRF players.

On the LPL commentary booth, Miller and the others were full of praise.

"This is Chu Shen! A human radar! No matter where you are, I know what you're doing." "Yes, I suspect that Chu Shen hasn't been playing matches lately because he's been studying at a psychology academy. He's completely got Tarzan figured out." 957 said with a smile, and many viewers in the live stream quickly echoed his sentiment.

[Professor Chu, a master of psychology.]

Haha, you know what, it's actually quite possible.

[Chu Shen: I owed too much money and was under too much pressure, so I went to study psychology to help myself. I didn't expect to learn anything from it.]

Tarzan is a complete clown, utterly pathetic. Who's even hyping up GRF?

After this defeat, many of GRF's Korean supporters immediately shut up, including Uzi and others. It was clear to everyone that GRF had no hope left.

Just as most people expected, Chu Ran and Rooike went straight for the top lane. GRF's top lane was already struggling to hold on, and now with this situation, their only outcome was certain death.

They immediately took the first Rift Herald and then started frantically consuming plating.

The economic disadvantage widened again, leaving GRF with no chance to fight back.

As the game progressed, GRF considered making a push during the second dragon fight. At that time, IG's equipment was not yet very good, and they still had a fighting chance.

but
"My God! Chu Shen stole Gnar's ultimate, then W'd Garen, and then, while his E was in flight, he unleashed a devastating palm strike, hitting three people!! TheShy's Yasuo followed up with his R, and that was it, those two completely shredded GRF's backline!"

"Rooike's Qiyana is here too, and she's using this fire element ultimate!!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, as Guan Zeyuan's impassioned words faded, GRF's backline was wiped out in less than two seconds, barely having time to unleash any skills.

Countless South Koreans, witnessing this scene, launched into a frenzy of insults, their anger escalating rapidly.

If they couldn't win this wave, then the subsequent team fights were even more hopeless. By the 15-minute mark, IG already had an 8,000 gold lead over GRF, making it impossible to see any hope of winning.

"In that case, GRF's coaching staff will need to think about what lineup to use in the second game. Chu Shen's Sylas is already godlike, it's terrifying. When he was first picked, many people were questioning it, but now, I think there are almost no doubts."

After Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, 957 nodded in agreement: "That's right. There are no useless heroes, only bad summoners. When Chu Shen was in the top lane, he could play any hero in the top lane, and when he was in the mid lane, he could play any hero in the mid lane."

"Now that he's in the jungle position, he can jungle with any hero. That's the miracle player Chu Shen from our LPL."

At this point, 957 changed the subject, "Actually, many teams should be glad that Chu Shen is playing jungle. If Chu Shen were still in a solo lane, many teams would have even less room to maneuver."

"I have personally experienced the terror of Chu Shen's laning ability."

After 957 said this, he received unanimous approval from Miller and Guan Zeyuan, and many viewers echoed his sentiments. However, there were always some people who wouldn't give up until they were completely convinced.

In this situation, they believed that GRF still had a chance to turn the tide, and even the members of GRF themselves thought so.

"They'll definitely be going for Baron Nashor later, so we'll fight them wave after wave," Chovy decided. "My items are pretty good."

His teammates didn't believe it at first, but when they saw that Chovy's equipment was indeed barely acceptable, they realized that he should be able to get two pieces of equipment by the 20-minute mark, and even three pieces if given a few more minutes.

When they saw the finishing blow, they were truly stunned.

Despite being at such a disadvantage and dying several times, they really couldn't understand how Chovy was able to keep up with Rooike in last-hitting. Was Rooike's last-hitting skill just too bad?

Not so.

This is simply not scientific.

Not only his teammates noticed, but the audience and commentators were also taken aback.

"Wow, Chovy's last-hitting is amazing. He's died a few times and still managed to maintain this level. It shows that this player's fundamentals are really strong," Miller exclaimed. "But then again, good last-hitting doesn't necessarily lead to victory."

"IG isn't going to waste time with you. They're already setting up vision around the Baron pit. GRF wants to fight, and they're also thinking of a quick victory. If Baron goes to IG, they'll lose anyway. They have to fight, but Chu Shen has stolen Gnar's ultimate again."

"How so? Both sides are still testing the waters..."

Before Miller could finish speaking, a sudden and unexpected event occurred near the Great Dragon Pit.

Chu Ran's Sylas immediately used his E to target Gnar, who was at the very front. Gnar prepared to grow larger, waiting for Chu Ran to use his E to interrupt him. This way, Chu Ran would be the first to be killed. Although they might not be able to take down Baron, it would delay IG's Baron kill and give them some room to grow.

"My God, Gnar has grown bigger! Chu Shen can't use his E to get in!"

"Wait, Chu Shen immediately E'd in! But wait a minute, Chu Shen interrupted his own E skill with a Force Staff, and then flashed and used W and R to directly slam into GRF's backline!!"

Upon seeing this, the pupils of everyone in GRF widened suddenly, and countless viewers were caught off guard, only to hear the commentators in the commentary booth roaring.

"Sylas's E skill has a high priority, but before he can use his dash, his E can be interrupted by other skills and items!" Miller explained. "Yasuo and Qiyana entered the fray, GRF is doomed!!"

At this moment, Yasuo appeared in the sky, and supermodel Qiyana once again demonstrated her damage, with Kog'Maw carrying Lulu reaping kills in the background.

In a matter of moments, the screens of all GRF members went black. The director gave them a close-up, and everyone's expression was filled with shock. The sound of the team being wiped out was deafening, leaving countless viewers stunned.

"Team wipeout! My god, Chu Shen's Sylas was terrifying! Congratulations to IG, they've won the first game of the quarterfinals with an absolute crushing victory!!"

"This is IG, this is Chu Shen!"

"Chu Shen's first match back once again proved that he is the man favored by the heavens, with extremely high talent. Even after being away from the competition for half a year, he is still invincible in the world!"

As the loud and clear shouts of Guan Zeyuan and his team subsided, at 22 minutes and 33 seconds into the match, GRF's crystal shattered completely, its fragments scattering in mid-air.

In an instant.

Various discussions have emerged in esports regions around the world, most notably the influx of new comments under posts praising Chovy on major LPL forums.

Who said Chovy is the best mid laner in the world? I think he's the best mid laner in terms of CS (creep score)!

Like a bathing dog, you can lose the game, but you can't lose at last-hitting.

[Haha, LCK also has its own famous shockwave!]
