LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 373 Canyon's desperate lift carried him away!

This dragon fight was fatal for DWG.

You have to understand that at this point in time, although their economy was lagging behind, the economic advantage they had, when divided equally among everyone, meant that they had a little more to spare.

Their lineup should still be in its strong phase, and they shouldn't have lost this dragon fight.

This loss not only cost them the Fire Dragon, but more importantly, it prevented them from capitalizing on their strong early-to-mid-game lineup and put them at a disadvantage. If IG doesn't give them any opportunities later on, they're facing a slow and inevitable defeat.

The director gave a close-up of the five DWG members' faces. Each of them had a furrowed brow and a look of deep sorrow, which made many Korean fans feel increasingly disheartened.

Meanwhile, in the LCK commentary booth, several Korean commentators were still looking for opportunities for DWG, analyzing their chances of winning.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay. DWG still has a chance. LeBlanc's items are pretty good. As long as Showmaker starts roaming and relies on Nuclear Ashe's ultimate to draw in the draw, we can get the momentum back."

"That's right. As long as DWG regains some momentum, our lineup can snowball and win this game, thus coming back from 2-0 down to win 3-2!"

It has to be said that South Koreans understand what the "Ah Q mentality" is, and ironically, when they explained these words, countless South Koreans on Korean websites actually believed them.

Perhaps for them, there aren't many good options left if they don't believe it now.

Just as they were filled with anticipation, suddenly, kill notifications came from the top and mid lanes again.

In everyone's sight, Nuguri's Aatrox was being solo-killed by TheShy's Fiora under the tower in the top lane, with a healing circle shining brightly. Meanwhile, in the mid lane, Chu Ran and Rooike were standing on top of LeBlanc's corpse.

Seeing this scene, the Koreans, who had just had a glimmer of hope, felt their hearts sink. The heart-wrenching cries from the LCK commentators never stopped.

This contrasted sharply with the cheers at the stadium and in most of the live broadcast rooms.

"Wow! My God! Chu Shen ganked again and killed Showmaker! His LeBlanc, who had a huge early-game advantage, is useless now!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed excitedly, "Not only that, TheShy in the top lane even performed a solo kill under the tower in front of the whole world!"

"In that case, DWG is in a very difficult position for this match, and they're going to lose the Rift Herald!"

With his loud and clear voice, Canyon was stunned. He was just about to ask the bot lane duo to come up and help him control the Rift Herald when suddenly, both of his teammates were killed.

What the hell is this?
Seeing that Chu Ran and the others were taking the lead, he had no choice but to tell the bottom laner to give up the decision to come up and support, and then he turned around and went to the bottom lane to threaten Jackeylove and Meiko.

We can only wait and see if we can get some turret plating on the bottom lane, or try to steal the first turret from IG.

"Sigh, Canyon is moving quickly, trying to salvage some losses in the bottom lane, but a bottom lane turret is nowhere near the size of a mid lane turret!"

Miller exclaimed, "Chu Shen has placed the Rift Herald directly in the mid lane! DWG has absolutely no one to defend it. The mid lane tower might fall!"

On the screen, the Vanguard's roar rose from the ground as the purple behemoth crashed into the mid-lane tower, leaving Rooike to solo the plating.

Less than 11 minutes into the game, DWG's mid-lane tower was destroyed, and Showmaker's LeBlanc had lost more than 80% of its effectiveness, as he could hardly gain any lane control.

Moreover, once a turret falls, the lane swap phase begins immediately, and it's not just the mid lane. With the recent Fiora rework, her Q can now damage turrets, and the top lane turret's health is also rapidly decreasing.

Moments later, DWG's top lane turret also collapsed, and the economic gap between the two sides widened instantly.

"Great! TheShy has taken down the top lane turret, and IG is now leading by nearly 7000 gold. I personally think we can congratulate IG in advance." Guan Zeyuan looked at Uzi next to him and a smile appeared on his face.

"What do you think, puppy? I feel like IG and Chu Shen are at least locked in for World Championship runner-up! It seems like for Chu Shen, World Championship runner-up is the worst possible result!"

Upon hearing this, Uzi's pupils constricted sharply, his eyes filled with rage, wishing he could punch Guan Zeyuan to death right now.

He fell silent.

The temperature in the commentary booth rose again, and while Uzi was biting his hand, the live broadcast rooms for various major tournaments were already in an uproar.

[Haha, Guan Gou, what are you implying!]

[Some people's worst result is second place, and that's not even certain, but for others, their best result in a ten-year career is only second place! The difference is obvious!]

[BIG, you've lost your citizenship, so what? You're a dog now.]

[Hilarious! How dare they talk to the world's best ADC? They're already aiming for the S10 championship!]

Do you know why Uzi was eliminated in the group stage this year? It's because he needed to prepare for next year's World Championship opponents.

The chat was buzzing with discussion, infuriating GSL members who gritted their teeth and launched a furious attack. But in the current situation, nothing they said could make a difference.

DWG is already at a huge disadvantage, and their entire lineup is struggling to find any rhythm.

After the top and mid lane towers were destroyed, Chu Ran immediately commanded, "Don't switch to the mid lane yet, take all the plating from their bottom lane tower!"

IG's objective is very clear. It's not even 14 minutes yet, and the turret plating hasn't disappeared. So, they can't afford to waste the turret plating in the bottom lane. DWG also knows this. They don't want IG to take their turret plating for free, but they are powerless to do anything about it, so they can only switch to the mid lane.

They wanted to take advantage of their numbers to bully Rooike and see if they could take down IG's mid-lane tower, but Rooike's Azir was gradually getting his items complete, and with his long range advantage, he wasn't even threatened by DWG.

With several sand soldiers placed in the mid lane, the minion wave couldn't get through, which made Beyrl very anxious. At the same time, the bottom lane turret was instantly destroyed with the cooperation of Chu Ran, Jackeylove, and Meiko.

"Wow! IG's pace is suffocating. They're not giving DWG any chance to breathe. In just 14 minutes, they've taken all the turret plating on all three lanes, and DWG is trying to trade for IG's mid-lane tower."

"But Tsar's long range and fast wave clear are too obvious. IG is coming to defend, and DWG can't take down IG's mid-lane tower!" Miller said excitedly.

At this moment, everyone in DWG looked grim, and their voices were filled with frustration and unease. Beryl forced himself to stay calm, saying, "Don't rush, there's still a chance. Focus on farming first."

After making this decision, DWG immediately entered a situation of developing while looking for opportunities. When the second and third dragons and the second Rift Herald appeared, they could not find any weaknesses in IG and had to give them all up.

The game time quietly reached 25 minutes, which intensified the despair in the hearts of countless South Koreans, and their eyes lost their light.

If DWG is still at a disadvantage at this point, then there is very little chance of a comeback.

"Sigh, IG is going straight for Baron, and DWG has no choice but to give it up. Actually, DWG has been trying to find opportunities for IG, but IG's discipline is too good. They don't give them any chance at all, which is suffocating!"

As Guan Zeyuan's loud voice fell, the roar of Baron Nashor echoed in Summoner's Rift. A message appeared on the big screen that the red team had secured Baron Nashor, immediately causing cheers and jubilation from the audience and the live stream.

Only Korean online forums were filled with cries of despair. On the LCK commentary desk, the "Roaring Emperor" looked like he was about to cry, shouting, "Pizza! Why did they let that Baron go? What are DWG doing?!"

Even if DWG actually went for the Baron fight, they might not be able to win, but giving Baron to IG for nothing would be a slow death for them.

"One push, brothers!" Chu Ran's lips curled into a smile. "A push down the mid lane!"

“Indeed, it’s time to end this,” Rooike agreed.

A moment later, the group emerged from the fountain, fully prepared, and charged forward with the Baron buff, completely dimming the eyes of many DWG supporters.

How to keep this?
If IG uses the Baron buff to break through DWG's high ground, then DWG is bound to lose.

Countless viewers thought the same thing, believing that DWG was doomed to lose. But at that moment, a sudden change occurred! Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Nuguir's Aatrox teleported directly to their own blue jungle, intending to flank several IG players from behind, while Canyon's Kayn emerged from the wall.

Before anyone could react, his Kayn used his W-Flash to instantly rush to IG's backline, lifting Jackeylove and Meiko into the air.

"My God! Canyon!!"

Seeing this, Uzi roared with extreme excitement, "Canyon flashed and made a desperate lift, knocking Jackeylove into the air! Varus is in grave danger! The entire DWG team is entering the fray!!"

In the blink of an eye, Jackeylove's Varus was instantly killed without even using any abilities.

"Fuck!"

Jackeylove's eyes widened as Fiora landed via Teleport, and Rooike's Azir executed another incredible drift, anticipating Nuclear Ashe's Flash and following up with Flash.

The Forbidden Wall!

Swish it!
Han Bing's fragile body flew back, leaving many people speechless.

"Damn it! Nuclear, what are you doing?!" several Korean commentators shouted angrily.

Amidst their tense expressions, Widow Chu followed up with her attack, unleashing a powerful skill that instantly emptied Hanbing's health bar.

"God Chu! God Chu's Widow, in conjunction with Rooike's Tsar ultimate, instantly killed Ashe! And wait!! Showmaker's Charm Mark is fully charged!!" Guan Zeyuan spoke extremely fast.

Upon seeing the perfect heart above his head, Showmaker immediately used Flash, but he was still a step too late.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Ran's Widow shattered the mark with a Q-Flash, unleashing armor penetration and a high percentage of damage. With a sudden E skill release, LeBlanc's health bar was instantly evaporated!
"IG-Easy has killed DWG-Showmaker!"

"Double kill!"

When the double kill sound effect echoed throughout the game, it stunned both online and offline audiences, just like Showmaker himself.

What the hell is this damage?
What about such a powerful enchantress?

"Double kill! Chu Shen instantly eliminated DWG's two carries!" Miller was so excited he was practically dizzy, roaring with all his might, "That's Chu Shen! And the rest of DWG aren't going anywhere either!"

"They all have to die! They all have to die!!"

"Chu Shen returned once again, taking down Canayon and securing a triple kill. Canyon's desperate flash lift, while killing Jackeylove, also took his own life!"

"How so? Whether he gets a pentakill or not, TheShy is letting him win again; he's waiting for Chu Shen!"

On screen, Aatrox tried to retreat, but was caught up by Chu Ran's Widowmaker, who used her Q skill to take him down. The deafening sound of a quadra kill echoed through the sky, causing a huge sound wave to erupt in the venue and the live broadcast room.

"No! Shiba! Byerl!"

At this moment, several Korean commentators were on the verge of tears, saying, "We can't give him a pentakill!"

But when he saw that even the widow Chu Ran had chased them all the way to the high ground, their voices grew increasingly desperate, "Pizza, complete pizza!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless viewers worldwide, Widow Chu Ran once again easily defeated Beryl's Titan, and that voice that made the whole world tremble quietly appeared!
"Penta kill!"

"Langendray!"

"ACE!"

When these voices appeared, both the scene and the live broadcast room fell silent for a moment, as if they had fallen into a deathly silence.

But after only a few seconds of silence, an immense roar of cheers and shouts erupted from the ground, becoming waves of thunder that swept towards the IG team!

"A pentakill! My God! Chu Shen's Widowmaker got a pentakill, the first pentakill in this year's World Championship! This is Chu Shen, this is IG!"

Guan Zeyuan was a little out of breath, his face flushed, and he was so excited that he was incoherent, "Who said IG can never get a pentakill? Today, Chu Shen will show you that he can get a pentakill!"

"One wave!! IG—!"

The world's major regions were in an uproar at this moment. The hearts of the DWG members and countless Koreans who had been hanging in suspense were finally dead, leaving only boundless anger and sorrow.

Uzi stared intently at the scene before him, his eyes practically spitting fire.

How can they be so bad? This DWG team claims to have fought their way up from internet cafes, and this is it?

Especially their AD carry, Uzi thinks that if it were him, IG would be the ones getting swept 3-0 right now.

In the video, the IG players moved swiftly, and DWG's two front teeth collapsed with a crash. In the IG team's voice chat, Meiko, Rooike, and others spoke with tremendous volume.

"Win! Win!"

"Nice!"

Seconds later, DWG's crystal shattered and froze in mid-air, instantly triggering a massive storm.

[6666! IG is awesome!!]

[Hey, stop talking nonsense!!]

[“DWG is invincible!”, “Don’t underestimate DWG!”, “Rebuilding LCK glory!”, “How could they get swept 3-0!”]

[Have you trolls cut out your vocal cords to stop talking?]

[Not your vocal cords, you haters and Han Xiaozi, you both had hemorrhoid surgery? I told you not to fart, are you deaf?!]

Seeing the dense, scrolling barrage of comments, many haters and Han fans were furious, but they had no room to refute it.

Who would have thought that DWG would be swept 3-0?
"Congratulations to IG! They have once again reached the finals of the World Championship, guaranteeing them at least a runner-up finish this year, but this is not their limit!"

Guan Zeyuan, his face flushed, shouted with a resounding voice, "There was a time when we LPL could brag about winning a runner-up title for a lifetime, but now, times have changed!"

"LPL is no longer the region that rejoices at being the runner-up. IG will continue to lead all the viewers in our region and compete with another team for this year's championship!"

"That's right!!" Miller was equally hysterical. "But let's give a round of applause and cheers to IG. With only one LPL team in the knockout stage this year, they withstood the pressure and defeated two LCK teams to advance to the finals!"

"We'll say it again: if Chu Shen doesn't agree to rebuild LCK's glory, then we, IG, will not allow it!!"

"The future glory of League of Legends will forever belong to our LPL!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the entire LPL erupted in a frenzy!
