LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 362 Revitalizing the Glory of LCK is Our Duty!
The images of Ox-Head and Horse-Face immediately gained the approval of the vast majority of viewers, who enthusiastically liked and shared them, ultimately creating a well-known and beloved image.

On various forums, many netizens have started calling TheShy and Nuguri "Horse Face" and "Bull Head," significantly increasing the buzz surrounding the upcoming match between IG and DWG.

During the off-season, countless League of Legends fans had various opinions about this match. Most believed that IG would win, but some also thought there was a chance of an upset, so many people were worried.

Meanwhile, Korean fans and LCK supporters are starting to get excited. Although IG's performance at the World Championship shows that they are more dominant, DWG is not without a chance to win.

They will definitely support DWG as long as there is a chance to win, and they will praise them to the skies.

Meanwhile, SKT has already expressed its desire to meet DWG in the finals on social media, which has led to fantasies among Korean fans and other groups.

After two years of silence, the LCK region is finally about to rise again.

Every now and then, voices supporting DWG emerge on various LPL forums, and pledges are being made as numerous as mushrooms after rain.

Winners get to eat a ton of food, do a handstand and wash their hair, and all sorts of other things.

Just as viewers were discussing it, Canyon's live ranked game pushed the hype to its peak.

“Nidalee? My Nidalee is better than Easy’s. I hope he can pick Nidalee then. I will let the whole world know who is the world’s best jungler this year.”

soon.

The trending topics list included phrases like, "DWG jungler Canyon called out to Chu Shen, hoping that Chu Shen could prove that he can play Nidalee well in front of him during the match."

As expected, the trending topic, embellished with extraneous details, sparked heated discussions among the public.

[Damn, what is Canyon trying to prove?]

No, they don't even respect Chu Shen. They've audacious enough to commit the sin of arrogance.

[This is ridiculous. I admit DWG is amazing for coming from a pub team, but looking down on Chu Shen is going too far.]

[DWG's entire roster is phenomenal; even their support player plays Genshin Impact every day, and was streaming it yesterday.]

[They were destined to lose this match; their execution of the original game was so poor.]

What did Genshin Impact do to you?!

[Do you even know what a "Genshin Impact bro" is? He's inherited Bang's mantle and's doing meditation training here.]

On October 3rd, during the LPL's National Day holiday, the various trending topics related to the peak travel season couldn't overshadow the upcoming IG vs. DWG match, and countless celebrities also jumped on the bandwagon to ride the wave of popularity.

In the live broadcast rooms of various sports events, although previous matches were being played, the popularity was already visibly soaring, quickly surpassing 30 million and continuing to climb.

The barrage of comments scrolled by densely.

[Open the door! Why isn't the door open yet!]

[Let's get the game started already, stop dawdling.]

[Ugh, I heard today's commentator is "Bathing Dog"? Why isn't he staying home and taking a shower? What's he doing here?]

[Doinb's still on the second lane, what are you guys doing here? Want to see Chu Shen lose?]

The live broadcast room attracted countless viewers, while the stadium in front of the competition venue was extremely lively.

When DWG's car arrived, Showmake and the others got out, but there was very little cheering or shouting.

At the same time, IG's car arrived. Before Chu Ran even got out of the car, the audience at the scene turned into a raging flood, and the shouts and cheers were deafening, which really made the Showmake team a little dumbfounded.

Look intently.

Many local European spectators held up signs supporting IG and Chu Ran, had the IG team logo on their faces, and some wore merchandise clothing printed with Chu Ran's handsome figure.

As Chu Ran and the others got out of the car and waved to the audience, the cheers grew even louder. Most of the people who came to the scene today were Chu Ran's fans, and some of the more excited fans almost broke through the security cordon.

"That's outrageous!" Showmake exclaimed upon seeing this.

Previously, only Faker received this kind of treatment, but now Faker is not even in the same league as Chu Ran.

"World-class players, no exaggeration. It feels like the venue is too small, otherwise there would be even more people." Nuguri stared intently at Chu Ran and TheShy, and said with a smile, "I also want to become a superstar like him."

"Then we have to win this game first," Canyon said confidently.

Over this period of time, he watched almost all of Chu Ran's match videos against IG, and believed that he had almost figured out Chu Ran's style, so he would be able to handle the match with ease.

At the same time, various cameras focused on Chu Ran and his group, broadcasting the event live to the world.

Seeing the crowd in a frenzy, countless viewers were also shaken, especially LPL fans who were filled with pride.

[A powerful presence! What does it mean to have a powerful presence? This is it.]

Do you really think our LPL has no international superstars? Faker isn't the only one.

Who would have thought that just a few years ago, our LPL players were virtually unknown overseas, but in recent years the situation has completely reversed.

Wow, Chu Shen's influence is truly terrifying. This is the treatment a true world's best should receive, unlike some people who claim to be the world's best ADC, but when they go out to play, hardly anyone recognizes them.

Seeing this, many of Chu Ran's haters were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but at a deeper level, they were jealous.

It's just about playing better in competitions and winning more championships. What's so great about that?

Their classic ravings quietly emerged.

[In the end, he's just a lousy gamer; it's really annoying.]

[Exactly, just a teenager addicted to the internet.]

[Hilarious! Where did this armchair gamer come from? You call a high-achieving student who graduated early from Fudan University an internet addict?]

What's wrong with playing video games? Can you really make it onto the Forbes rich list just by playing games?

[Surely everyone knows Chu Shen is the owner of Panda TV and IG, right? Is there really someone who just makes baseless claims like this?]

Some people play video games their whole lives and never win a single championship!

Suddenly, most of the haters were rendered speechless by the backlash, and could only watch helplessly as the endless praise for Chu Ran and IG was met with furious outrage, while inwardly screaming for DWG to step up their game.

"Ran-ge, your fans are really over the top. Why don't I have any?"

In the backstage dressing room, Meikko looked up at the sky and wailed, "You know I have several more championships than you, is it because I'm not as handsome as you?"

"Tianye, stop dreaming." Jackeylove immediately said disdainfully, "You're already lucky to have fans as a fifth-place champion, do you really want to be like Ran-ge? I can only say you're just daydreaming."

"Yu Wenbo, are you trying to start a fight?"

"No way, buddy, you're already broken down?" Jackeylove crossed his arms and shrank back. "If you beat that Genshin Impact guy today, I'll admit you're not the fifth-ranked champion."

Meiko gritted her teeth and roared in grief and anger, "How many championships do I have to win to finally shut you haters up?"

As he finished speaking, the backstage area was filled with laughter and cheers, and Chu Ran's latest Weibo post was also released.

Weibo user IG-Easy: [The match is about to start, but I'm already anxious. What champion do you guys think I should choose for the championship skin?]

This Weibo post quickly caused a stir, with countless netizens leaving comments recommending which heroes Chu Ran should play. Of course, some also thought that Chu Ran was too arrogant.

They're choosing skins again before the match.

But when they thought about how Chu Ran had said the same thing last year and actually chose the Diana skin, they instantly gave up their desire to attack. They just kept a close eye on him in secret and cursed him.

Soon, tens of thousands of spectators took their seats, and the hall immediately became packed with people, with various sounds filling the air.

The big screen also began playing various highlights from this World Championship.

"Oh my god! What is Xiaohu doing? His Akali combo only hit two skills!"

"My god, Mid Tiger, he used his level 3 TP to protect the bottom lane, but he lost both summoner spells and gave away a kill. He only dealt 2200 damage throughout the game. Is he even human?"

"Xiaohu's Kayle was about to start dealing damage, he was going to take over this team fight, oh my god! He was killed before he could even use his ultimate. Kayle only dealt 2900 damage throughout the whole game. I suggest Xiaohu ban this hero in the future."

A moment later, the camera immediately focused on the commentary booths of each major region, and the faces of Miller, Guan Zeyuan, and Uzi appeared before the LPL viewers.

However, before the match even started, Uzi's chubby face was already flushed from watching the highlights, because not only had Xiaohu's classic "death scene" been broadcast, but also the scene of him being kicked to death by Ou Xiang on the side of the road.

Anyone who takes this position would become famous.

Miller and Guan Zeyuan both suppressed a smile; they couldn't help but suspect that this was a deliberate act by the authorities.

Fortunately, they are professional commentators and most of the time they don't make fun of others.

Unless you can't help it.

"Alright, viewers, welcome to the quarterfinals of the 2019 World Championship. We're about to bring you the match between LPL's number one seed IG and LCK's number three seed DWG!"

"It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious." Guan Zeyuan remarked, "We won't say much about IG, but DWG is yet another LCK team that went from internet cafe teams to the World Championship."

"The last team like that in the LCK is Tox Tigers, which is still remembered by many viewers. Their BO5 match against SKT is still considered by netizens to be the best BO5 match in the World Championship over the years."

"You could say that, even though DWG is the third seed, the fact that they made it from internet cafes to the world stage proves they are no pushovers!"

“That’s right.” Miller nodded in agreement. “I’m sure everyone has seen the analysis of DWG’s players recently. Every player on the team is very strong. I think IG needs to be careful today. They might be caught off guard and suffer an upset. But overall, IG has a better chance of winning.”

At this point, Miller turned the conversation to Uzi, "What does Uzi think?"

Uzi snapped out of his daze and said with a grin, "Yeah, you both make a lot of sense. It's just that IG has a higher win rate today, but DWG isn't without a chance of winning. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how this team performs today."

"It looks like the puppy supports DWG."

Upon hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, Uzi's pupils dilated sharply, and he almost blurted out an angry curse at Guan Zeyuan.

When did he say he supported DWG? Even if that's what he thought, he can't say it outright.

[6666! This is Colonel Guan!]

[Haha, this directly revealed Uzi's true feelings; he's no longer pretending.]

[It's hard to jump, I'm a bathing dog, I need to go take a red-temperature bath right now.]

[Uzi, are you even Chinese? It's rare for you not to support a Chinese club, isn't it?]

Just as the live chat was scrolling, the host of the match appeared on stage in a revealing outfit and began calling out the IDs of both teams in an extremely excited voice.

Each time someone went on stage, the cheers from the audience grew even louder, and the pre-recorded promotional video immediately began playing on the big screen.

Nuguri: If I can beat IG today, then I will be the best top laner in the world. I will give it my all.

Canyon: I've finally made it to this stage, so I have to cherish it. Even if the opponent is Easy, I will teach him how to jungle.

Beryl: I saw the world champion waving at me.

TheShy: I will use my skills to show the opponent why he can't be the world's best top laner.

Rooike: No one can stop IG from winning the championship this year.

A series of enthusiastic shouts reached the audience's ears, creating a cacophony of cheers and encouragement. The atmosphere reached its peak when Showmake's video appeared.

On the big screen, Showmake sat upright, raised his fist, and said in a firm voice: "This is my first time at the World Championship. I'm not sure if this is the only opportunity I'll ever have. I've seen Faker get beaten on stage and cry uncontrollably before."

At that time, I thought that if I had the opportunity to stand on the world stage, I would give it my all.

Restoring LKC's glory is our inescapable duty!

After he said that, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room were stunned for a few seconds.

Can be followed immediately.

Countless spectators applauded and shouted at the top of their lungs, and many South Koreans felt their blood boil. The Korean internet quietly exploded.

Showmake!!

This is the kind of pride our LCK mid laners should have!

Believe in Showmake, believe in DWG! You are the next Tigers, no, you will surpass the Tigers!

【We, the LCK, are undefeated!】

[Holy crap, are you imitating Chu Shen? Showmake, but I feel like Showmake sounds better.]

Indeed, it seems like Chu Shen is the imitator. Is that just my imagination?

[Is Showmake really seeing himself as the savior of the LCK, aiming to rebuild its glory?]

Showmake's words ignited the competition, causing a stir in all major regions.

They witnessed the unwavering will of the LCK, and the terrifying talent that has emerged from among them.

On the contrary, not only the LPL, but other regions are in a similar situation, and have long been facing a shortage of promising young talents.

Besides DWG and GRF, who were crushed by IG, there are also many outstanding newcomers, which makes many people marvel at how terrifying LCK is.

If it weren't for the emergence of Chu Ran, this monster, League of Legends would probably still be dominated by LCK.

Finally, the camera focused on Chu Ran, who was sitting quietly, looking up at the front with a handsome air, and slowly said, "You said you want to rebuild the glory of LCK, then come and prove it to me. I will let you know that in front of you is a mountain that you can never cross even if you try your whole life."

This statement came out.

The whole world is shocked!

The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room were all amazed, their eyes fixed on Chu Ran, who slowly stood up on the big screen and faced the camera with the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger. They were all stunned!

Everyone felt a surge of electricity coursing through their bodies, causing goosebumps to rise on their skin!
