LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 379 You have your clever plans, I have my countermeasures.

After Wang Duoduo finished speaking, countless viewers felt the same way and echoed his sentiments, expressing their deep emotions.

[Teacher Duoduo truly deserves her title as a top student; I understand now.]

Time waits for no one; Lee Sang-hyeok has grown old too.

If Lee Sang-hyeok at his peak had come, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand a single skill.

[Chu Shen: No one can stay at the top forever, except me.]

[What the hell are you bragging about? It's just that you acquired a skill. Why are you spouting such a long rant?]

After a brief uproar, everyone's attention returned to the match, but for SKT, things are looking up.

Faker wiped the sweat from his forehead and kept switching between screens, finding that neither the top nor bottom lanes offered much of an advantage, which was completely contrary to their expectations.

Logically, Khan's Jayce should have taken the initiative in the early game, but instead, he was suppressed by TheShy's Gnar.

If Jayce doesn't develop well, they won't be able to engage in early team fights at all. The main source of damage in early team fights comes from Jayce's Poker. Apart from Gnar, everyone else in IG's lineup will immediately lose their form if they get hit by Jayce's one or two shots.

At this point, IG had to choose between continuing to play or withdrawing.

If they engage in team fights while in poor form, SKT can seize the opportunity to initiate a team fight and directly reap the rewards.

But the script didn't go that way. Currently, his mid lane is also being suppressed, and the jungler even gave up first blood.

For a while, Faker couldn't find many openings. Clid understood this as well, so he tried to gank TheShy in the top lane, but the discipline was too strong, and he couldn't catch him at all.

On the contrary, while he was sleepwalking, Chu Ran was trying his best to control Nightmare to clear his upper half of the map.

"No rush, just focus on farming. Watch out for the enemy Lee Sin. He's in the top half of the map right now, so he'll just be ganking top and mid. He's out of jungle camps."

Hearing Chu Ran's words, Rooike also became cautious, controlling Orianna to stay near the bottom river. In this way, Galio, whose W-flash mechanism has been removed in the current version, would most likely not be able to use it.

Then keep the line in the middle, and if they continue at this pace, their advantage will become greater and greater.

"Sigh, Clid is having a really tough time right now. He can't even farm jungle monsters, and IG doesn't give him any chances to gank. Chu Shen's Nightmare is almost a level ahead of him now."

After Miller finished speaking, Guan Zeyuan immediately chimed in, "That's right. Clid wanted to suppress Chu Shen's development rhythm, but ended up messing things up himself. Most importantly, he prevented Faker in the mid lane from gaining a significant advantage."

"Galio was doing pretty well against Orianna, but now it's a draw. Rooike has secured the mid lane, and we're just waiting for Chu Shen's Nocturne to reach level 6. Once that happens, we'll see how SKT can stop the first wave of momentum."

SKT members had also thought about this issue. Faker felt that they couldn't do it this way; they had to actively look for opportunities to let Jayce develop, otherwise the team fights in the early and mid-game would be difficult.

If they collapse in the early to mid-game, they won't even last until Kai'Sa can unleash her power. Thinking of this, Faker said softly, "Let's go and gank the top lane together later!"

"Okay, this Nightmare should have finished clearing the top jungle in a bit, and his bottom jungle will be clearing soon too. Let's just go for a numbers advantage."

Clid agreed with Faker's decision, so Khan prepared to stockpile a wave of minions, while Faker launched a fierce attack in the mid lane, starting to clear the wave like crazy.

Chu Ran switched screens and immediately saw Faker's action. His brows furrowed instantly. He canceled his recall after clearing the top half of the map and went straight to his own top lane turret.

TheShy was still a little confused, "There's no chance, the enemy jungler should be gone."

"I think the other side will come over and attack you."

Upon hearing this, TheShy was somewhat taken aback, "It shouldn't be that bad, I'm not even level 6 yet."

"See, it can't hurt." Chu Ran's intuition told him that his judgment was correct.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Rooike sent out Miss's signal from the mid lane.

On the screen, Faker and Clid were already heading towards the top lane, but they were completely out of IG's sight.

Witnessing this scene, Miller suddenly exclaimed, "My God, Chu Shen's sudden counter-gank was spot on! Faker and Clid are coming to the top lane. They have something on TheShy's Gnar, and Gnar isn't in a good mood."

"This feels a bit bad. It seems that Chu Shen's counter-gank won't help TheShy. Rooike doesn't have TP, so there doesn't seem to be a chance in a 2v3 situation. He might even get himself killed. I think it would be best to just retreat."

Guan Zeyuan's tone was full of worry, and he was not alone in sharing this sentiment.

In the LCK match booth, several Korean commentators were overjoyed to see Chu Ran cancel his recall and even try to help TheShy counter-gank.

"Oh! Easy seems to have lost his mind. Since he realized that SKT would come to gank this Gnar, how dare he, a Nightmare who doesn't have much fighting power in the early game, counter-gank?"

“Buy one, get one free!”

At this moment, on the SKT stage, Faker was directing Mata to check out Chu Ran's bottom jungle. They had just dove the tower to dive TheShy, but he didn't see any sign of Chu Ran and was still a little worried.

"No need, he's definitely in the bottom half of the map. Nightmare has no fighting power in the early game, what's the point of him counter-ganking? He's just giving us a free kill," Clid said confidently.

A few seconds later, he and Faker both showed up in the top lane, causing TheShy's eyes to widen in surprise. "Holy crap!"

He hadn't expected Chu Ran's judgment to be so accurate; the person who came was indeed ahead of him, which put him in a difficult position as a large wave of minions pushed into the tower.

If he dies at this point, it will be infinitely more damaging than dying at the beginning, and he will be at least one level lower than Jess later on.

"SKT is here, but they didn't notice at all that Chu Shen was hiding near his own red buff, with a Blast Cone nearby! They've made their move!" Guan Zeyuan spoke rapidly, his voice filled with tension. "Faker made the first move with a Justice Punch, but TheShy dodged it with a simple movement!"

"Faker instantly flashed and killed Duran's shield and taunt!"

"Oh no, TheShy's been frozen in place, and Gnar's anger hasn't subsided yet!"

Under the top lane turret, several burly men were besieging Gnar, but at that moment, Chu Ran's Nightmare strolled out of the bushes, making Clid's head spin. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Damn it, why is Nightmare here?!"

It's too late to say, then soon!
Chu Ran suddenly joined the fray, his two chains binding Galio, causing Faker's expression to change drastically. He immediately exclaimed, "Push him away! Push him away!"

He's currently tanking the tower, but he can't withstand many hits. If he gets feared, he'll definitely be killed by the tower.

Khan wanted to swing Chu Ran away with his hammer, but Nightmare had a shield on him, so he couldn't care less at this point. Jess swung his powerful arm and swung his hammer at Nightmare.

But at this critical moment, Chu Ran immediately pressed E, and a thin shield immediately appeared on his body, which effectively neutralized Jayce's thunderous attack, leaving Khan and the others dumbfounded.

What kind of reaction speed is that?!

"My God!" Wang Duoduo immediately raised his arms and shouted, "Chu Shen's reaction! He directly used his active skill to negate Jayce's control, and Faker was feared!" "Not only that, TheShy's Gnar is not dead yet, he is still dealing damage, and he will soon grow bigger!"

In an instant, the word "Fear" appeared above Galio's head, causing Faker to turn pale. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the turret's attack landed again, missing his crucial final few hits.

TheShy's Gnar had a sliver of health left.

Clid's eyes turned red, and he roared through the voice chat, "Die!"

But the next second, just as he was about to unleash his basic attack, a gigantic Gnar appeared out of nowhere, sending shockwaves through everyone's hearts, and Clid's face turned deathly pale.

Before he could react, the giant Gnar slammed his hands down, using his W skill to slam the ground and stun Lee Sin under the tower. Then, he executed a decisive E-flash, immediately creating distance between himself and Khan's Jayce.

Immediately afterwards, a huge rock appeared from Gnar's hand and slammed into the Blind Monk.

boom!
With the help of the turret's attack, Lee Sin's health bar dwindled at a visible speed, and another shocking kill notification quietly rang out.

"IG-TheShy has killed SKT-Clid!"

When that sound echoed throughout Summoner's Rift, the audience at the scene and in the live stream were instantly dumbfounded, their jaws dropping in astonishment!

I never expected things to turn out this way.

SKT's three players flanked one enemy, but ended up killing two of them instead?
Do not!
Rooike's Orianna has arrived, and Khan's Jayce is in a very dangerous situation.

Seeing this, Guan Zeyuan and the others were incredibly excited, their voices cracking, "My God! TheShy and Chu Shen, their amazing skills, combined with the turret, allowed them to counter-kill Faker and Clid!"

"Rooike is here! Khan is going to die too! All three SKT players are going to be wiped out!"

Amidst the deafening gasps of amazement, Rooike's Wind-Up joined the fray, snapping Khan, who had been reeling from the shock, back to his senses and leaving him somewhat panicked.

He tried to make a move, but it was too late. In the end, Rooike's Orianna took his life, and the game announcement that rang out again silenced countless SKT fans.

Half of the stadium was completely silent, but in most other areas, deafening cheers rose from the ground and formed a huge sound wave that swept through the entire stadium!
"Pizza—!!"

"Why is this happening!!"

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the Korean commentators who had just been excited turned bloodshot, and they let out heart-wrenching screams, even having difficulty breathing, and were on the verge of fainting.

A barrage of insults, cries of despair, and question marks flooded the Korean online community, leaving them stunned in front of their live streams after this zero-for-three exchange.

On the screen, Chu Ran and the other two pressed the B key at the same time, causing many viewers to gasp in surprise. In an instant, countless live broadcast rooms exploded!

[Stop talking nonsense! Haters, stop talking nonsense! Who said Nightmare can't counter-gank in the early game?!]

[SKT got 3-for-1 in a 3v1 situation and still got 3 killed. Do they even know how to play the game?!]

[I'm laughing so hard. Is this the strongest SKT? How dare they dive Tahm Kench without Chu Shen's vision?]

[Hey, you guys stopped laughing?! Well, now it's my turn to laugh!! Hahaha.]

Are these SKT players even human?

The barrage of comments scrolled like a tide, sparking heated discussions.

Many of Han's loyal followers and science enthusiasts were furious and wished they could carry Clid and Khan off the stage, chairs and all.

In their view, it was these two players who were incompetent, resulting in three deaths being given away, which suddenly turned the game from a draw into a huge advantage for IG.

The barrage of comments, in particular, infuriated them so much that they frantically pounded on the table and other objects.

"Nice!"

After this wave of attacks, the IG team's voice chat erupted in thunderous cheers, with TheShy repeatedly saying, "Chu Shen is awesome!"

He didn't expect SKT to actually dare to tower dive, and he also didn't expect that Chu Ran, a nightmare who was less than level 6, would actually save him. Besides "awesome," he couldn't think of many other suitable words to describe it.

"It's a small-scale situation. The opponent definitely wants Jayce to have an early advantage, but the more they want something, the more we need to stop them!"

Chu Ran smiled, slowly opened her thermos, took a sip of water, and the director immediately gave her a close-up shot, causing another wave of excitement.

"Chu Shen is so young, yet he's already soaking goji berries and red dates in water, and he even uses a thermos." Miller chuckled and exclaimed, "But perhaps that's precisely why Chu Shen's focus on health has allowed him to maintain such terrifying dominance on the field!"

“That’s right.” Wang Duoduo praised repeatedly, “The main thing is that his awareness is too strong. He just felt that SKT would come to tower dive, so Chu Shen made preparations in advance. Moreover, he was very bold. Nightmare, who had almost no combat power in the early game, joined the battlefield. His millisecond-level reaction was truly amazing to all of us.”

At this moment, Guan Zeyuan, who had previously said that Chu Ran's counter-squat might not be effective, looked a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted.

"That's Chu Shen for you, always believing in your own skills. But to be honest, this was really close. If Chu Shen hadn't blocked Jayce's Thunder Strike and Galio hadn't been feared, then Gnar would have died before he even grew bigger."

"There won't be a miracle like this!"

Their continuous praise once again excited many LPL viewers who supported IG in the live stream, and they all felt a surge of excitement.

They played so well at the start of the game that they believed SKT would have a tough time in this match.

"No, Ahsiba, what are you guys doing?!"

Mata, who was laning in the bottom lane, was completely blushing when he heard the good news from the top lane.

The plan was for the top, mid, and jungle to gain an advantage in the early game, and then for Kai'Sa to take over the game in the late game. This is completely different from what I expected.

"I didn't expect this Nightmare to dare to counter-gank!" Clid's face was gloomy. He was completely doomed as the jungler and didn't know how to play from here on out.

Khan was truly suffering in silence; he regretted not having let them come to Vietnam.

He could have pressured Gnar a little if he hadn't tried to dive him, and even managed to take a couple of turret plates. But he messed up, losing both his Flash and the kill, and still failed to dive him.

"fine."

Faker took a deep breath and quickly reassured his teammates, "Stay calm, we still have a chance. Once we reach level 6, we'll attack their bot lane and take the dragon."

Although that's what they say, the increasing beads of sweat on Faker's forehead show that he's very nervous.

And in this atmosphere, suddenly, the sky turned dark!
