LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 375 I will not let anyone surpass me
As soon as Chu Ran uttered these words, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room were all shocked and incredulous.

This is too crazy!

However, upon closer reflection, they realized that Chu Ran did indeed have the right to be arrogant. The famous Demon King Faker had already lost to him countless times. If SKT really made it to the finals this time, it would likely follow the same script as before.

Repeat the same mistakes.

Countless Chu Ran fans felt an electric current surge through their bodies, goosebumps rose all over their skin, and they immediately launched deafening cheers to support Chu Ran.

The live stream chat rooms in each competition area were already exploding with comments, flowing endlessly like a surging river without any pause.

[6666, this is Chu Shen!! Chu Shen's confidence!]

[Wow, Chu Shen is as arrogant as ever, but he has the right to be arrogant!]

[A triple crown winner! Three years after debuting, he's already a triple crown winner. Just thinking about it is exciting.]

[Faker took so many years to win three world championships, while Chu Shen only needs one best-of-five series to achieve the same result. The difference in skill is obvious!]

[You bastard, what are you pretending for? All the garbage bags in the world combined couldn't hold as much as you.]

[However, this beast is disgusting. He even stepped on the corpse of a former three-time champion to become a new three-time champion. What gives him the right to be so confident?]

The barrage of comments was heated, with many trolls and science enthusiasts hurling insults and sarcastic remarks.

They believe that even if Chu Ran is incredibly strong, he shouldn't lack the most basic respect for the Great Demon King Faker, especially since Chu Ran might not even be able to win three world championships.

Before the start of this year's World Championship, someone had already done an analysis of SKT.

SKT is a very strange team. Before the start of the World Championship, their performance in other competitions would fluctuate, and sometimes they seemed so bad that they couldn't beat anyone.

But once SKT enters the World Championship, they immediately transform, year after year, giving people the impression that 'no one can beat them,' meaning that no one can defeat SKT in the World Championship.

Therefore, everyone still has high expectations for SKT in this year's S-series, even though Faker and SKT have lost to Chu Ran many times.

But this time, it's really hard to say.

At this moment, Chu Ran's interview was translated and spread to Korean websites, which immediately aroused the rage of countless Koreans, who began to frantically insult Chu Ran's family tree.

[Damn it! Hurry up and get the finals going! I just want to see SKT smash this guy's mouth in!]

[Does he really think he's invincible? If SKT hadn't failed to qualify for the World Championship last year, he might not even have won two world titles!]

Do you even understand SKT at other times and SKT during the World Championship?

[Faker will beat him to a pulp. Everyone knows how strong SKT was in Worlds. This mercenary region dares to act tough in front of SKT in Worlds?]

Not only LCK, but other regions also experienced a huge uproar.

In SKT's backstage lounge, Faker and the others were all furious and ashamed when they heard Chu Ran's words.

If it weren't for Chu Ran leading IG to set a new world record for the fastest match at this year's MSI, Chu Ran wouldn't dare to be so arrogant now.

They vowed to reach the finals and wash away this shame with the blood of IG and Chu Ran.

Following the interview, trending topics about Chu Ran's remarks appeared on foreign websites and major domestic forums.

#Chu Shen vows to crush Faker in the finals!#
#A three-time world champion is Faker's limit, but not mine—Chu Shen!#
#Chu Shen boldly launches his assault on the triple crown, stating that how many championships he wants depends on how long he plays professionally!#
,,
Each trending topic has tens of thousands of comments when clicked on.

On Hupu and Kangba, countless discussion posts sprang up like mushrooms after rain, overshadowing the hype surrounding IG's victory over DWG.

DWG didn't have much buzz to begin with, but before the match, Korean fans and some haters were praising DWG like crazy. Now that they've been swept 3-0, these people immediately deleted their posts and ran away, acting like clowns.

However, the necessary review process still took place, and the famous scorecard post appeared before everyone's eyes, with DWG's five members receiving an average score of 3.3, which sparked heated discussions.

As for the comment sections on Uzi, Doinb's, and others' Weibo posts, many people have left their own footprints.

[Stop talking nonsense! You bunch of losers in the top 16, how come everyone else got second place, but you guys made it to the top 16?]

Do you prefer staying home and watching others play in the finals?

【Our God Chu has secured second place again, so what kind of team are you bunch of trash?】

[No way, no way, someone can play professionally for ten years and still treasure two runner-up titles like they're precious, right?]

Seeing these comments, GSL fans, Royal Never Give Up fans, Doinb's fans, and most club fans were furious, but they were bombarded with insults as soon as they tried to refute them.

After finishing his commentary, Uzi returned to his hotel. Faced with the overwhelming barrage of comments from netizens, he transformed into a furious shepherd dog, howling alone in his hotel room.

"Useless! You're all fucking useless!"

"What garbage DWG!"

Uzi said fiercely, "If DWG hadn't been so useless, IG wouldn't have made it to the finals this year, let alone become a three-time champion."

No bragging, no blackmail.

If Chu Ran is a two-time champion, then Uzi might be able to try to surpass him, but he really doesn't have the confidence to be a three-time champion.

Just as he was burning with rage, Chu Ran's latest Weibo post once again swept across the entire internet.

Weibo IG-Easy:

[We won again, guys! How come this tournament is so easy? Who was it that thought this year's World Championship was difficult? Why are some people eliminated in the top 16?!]

[Hahaha, how dare you, God Chu, what are you implying!]

[The top 16 teams for the World Championship are out! @LGD, RNG, FPX!]

Because they're so bad they're practically inhuman.

[@UziQaQ, I'm asking you a question, are you deaf? Why were you eliminated in the round of 16?]

[@Doinb, did you skip the World Championship this year because you didn't stream and no one gave you a membership card, so you just stopped playing and went home to stream?]

[66666, I'm so jealous of everyone's talent!]

"Fuck you!! You beast!"

Upon seeing Chu Ran's Weibo post and the comments from various netizens, Uzi suddenly became like an exploding gas cylinder.

The temperature in his hotel room had been artificially inflated; thankfully, nothing was lit, otherwise the smoke alarm would have gone off. Meanwhile, inside the FPX club, Doinb and the others looked livid, their insults towards Chu Ran relentless.

So much time has passed since they were eliminated in the round of 16, yet they're still harping on it. Their jungler, Xiaotian, almost became depressed again.

"What a piece of trash! Look how arrogant he is. How come he's still alive?" Doinb turned off his phone, wishing he could play another S-series match right now to prove himself.

Seeing Xiaotian's smug expression, Doinb immediately felt a surge of anger and began to say sarcastically, "Sometimes you should learn how others jungle. When the game goes into a disadvantageous position, you just throw your temper like Sima. With such a bad mentality, what kind of professional player are you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian immediately became furious, his murderous gaze fixed on Doinb. "Then why don't you learn from other mid laners? Every game you play Nautilus and Poppy, do you even know how to play mid?"

As soon as Xiaotian finished speaking, the entire FPX team fell into an eerie atmosphere again. Fortunately, GimGoon quickly smoothed things over, explaining that he was truly fed up with the atmosphere at FPX; it was just too oppressive.

Chu Ran's Weibo post sparked heated discussions among countless netizens, and the next day quickly arrived amidst this trending topic.

The entire IG team came to the backstage lounge to watch the match. Regarding the SKT vs. G2 match, there were many opinions from different regions, but overall, there were slightly more people supporting SKT.

"Ran-ge, who do you think will win today's match?"

Hearing Meiko's words, Chu Ran shook his head, "I don't know, but I hope it's SKT, let Faker lead SKT to another victory."

According to the original plot, in today's match, Faker would be beaten so badly by G2 that Perkz, as the AD carry, would defeat SKT.

At that time, no one in the world expected it, and probably not even Faker himself expected it. He was so badly beaten that his hands were shaking, he was wiping away sweat, and he shed tears on the field.

But that was the original script. Since Chu Ran arrived, the butterfly effect he caused has been too great. It's not certain that SKT will win this year.

Chu Ran naturally still hoped that SKT would win. He needed to sweep SKT in the finals and become a new three-time champion by stepping on the corpse of the three-time champion. That was no joke.

Even before the match started, the audience at the venue and in the live broadcast room were already eagerly anticipating it. Faker's appeal was only slightly weaker than Chu Ran's. The entire stadium was packed, and the live broadcast room's popularity immediately topped the charts on every platform.

On Korean websites, almost all Koreans took time to watch the live stream of the match, and several Korean commentators were sitting in the commentary booth, ready to go.

At this moment, SKT has become the only hope for their LCK region. If SKT loses again, their LCK region will truly be plunged into darkness.

However, at this time, the European region also has high hopes for G2. Whether the European region can achieve a breakthrough in winning the S-series championship depends on how G2 performs today.

It's worth noting that G2's strength this year is definitely not bad. They even defeated SKT at MSI. If G2 makes it to the finals, they might even be able to defeat IG and actually win the championship!
Amidst countless roars and cheers, the best-of-five series officially began, drawing the attention of all spectators.

Both sides played at full intensity in every match, and soon they entered a do-or-die situation. In the end, Faker's strong mental state led his team to win the most crucial point.

"Holy crap! Faker's Rogue!" Meiko exclaimed, his jaw dropping in shock!
"Brilliant."

Jackeylove and others were full of praise. The rogue almost single-handedly defeated three opponents, preventing himself from being caught and killed by G2. He then found a weakness in G2's rhythm, secured Baron Nashor, and ended the game in one fell swoop.

A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the venue, with countless people shouting at the top of their lungs. The resulting storm swept across the entire stadium, and the Korean commentators in the LCK commentary booth were already going crazy with excitement.

"Faker! SKT!!"

"This is Lee Sang-hyeok. He stepped up when the team needed him most and led SKT back to the World Championship finals. They are truly going to rebuild the glory of our LCK!"

"That arrogant and invincible demon king has returned!!"

In an instant, the entire LCK region erupted in excitement. Many Koreans were so excited when they saw SKT defeat G2 3-2 that they danced with joy!
[Awesome! SKT is awesome!]

No one can defeat Lee Sang-hyeok; if anyone can, it's Lee Sang-hyeok himself.

[Our LCK should win the championship again, this is SKT in the World Championship!]

We'll soon be able to crush that weak LPL region under our feet.

[Four-time champions!]

At this moment, many LPL streamers and viewers were dumbfounded. Faker was just too ridiculously strong. And when SKT entered the finals again, Korean fans and science fans went wild.

[That feels good. This is SKT and Faker in the World Championship. Do you even understand, you little hater?]

[SKT and Faker have advanced to the finals again, so aren't Narancia and IG doomed?]

[This guy still wants to win three championships? Faker's about to win four.]

[There are still people being stubborn. Does anyone really think G2 is that bad this year? G2 has the strength to win the championship this year.]

Although some wanted to refute it, most people had to admit that what they said made sense.

The SKT team at Worlds is completely different from the SKT team in previous competitions. It's like a completely different team. They couldn't even beat G2, the number one team in Europe, at MSI, but today they've turned the tables.

At this moment, Perkz and Caps burst into tears on stage. Countless viewers from the European region felt their hearts break. After persisting for so many years, this was finally the most hopeful year, but they fell just before dawn.

Boundless darkness filled their region, a stark contrast to the cheers from the LCK.

"Nice! I told you SKT would win, G2 couldn't win." Uzi was cheering wildly in his live stream. "Then the finals are hard to say. SKT is still strong, and IG may not win the championship for sure."

"However, there are many points to watch. Will it be the IG players who achieve a three-time world championship, or will Faker achieve a four-time world championship!"

Uzi was secretly overjoyed. He naturally supported Faker's dream of becoming a four-time world champion, and countless other professional players and clubs shared the same sentiment.

It's better for players from other regions to achieve four world championships than for Chu Ran from the LPL to achieve three.

No matter how impressive a four-time champion is, he's still from the LCK region and relies on the LCK's viewership. In contrast, Chu Ran, a three-time champion, has practically consumed all of the LPL's viewership.

In the IG backstage lounge, Chu Ran smiled and stroked his chin, "Not bad, I didn't expect SKT to actually win."

"God Chu, why did you use 'surprisingly'?"

Upon hearing Rooike's words, Chu Ran pondered for a few seconds, "Because in theory, we shouldn't be able to beat him, but Faker went on a scoring spree."

This time, Faker didn't wipe his sweat with trembling hands, but Chu Ran felt that it wouldn't be good if this famous moment was missing, so he planned to make Faker's hands tremble during the finals.

Just as they were talking, Faker also appeared in the interview booth in high spirits. Obviously, they were also very happy about defeating G2 and advancing to the finals.

After answering a few questions from the host, they immediately moved on to the last question.

"Okay, just yesterday, IG's Easy said he hopes SKT can reach the finals so he can defeat you, the three-time champion, and become the new three-time champion. Faker, do you have anything to say about his words?"

Upon hearing the question, Faker pondered for a few seconds, then raised the microphone and said in a deep voice, "I greatly admire Easy's courage, even though I have lost to him a few times."

"I will not let anyone surpass me. This time, I will give my fourth championship to all my fans!"
