LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 387 I've never felt so wonderful before!
Upon seeing this, applause and cheers erupted throughout the huge venue, creating a massive wave that swept across every corner. Countless spectators at the scene began shouting for the IG team at the top of their lungs.

Some people's voices were already hoarse, some people's faces were flushed with excitement and they seemed to be having trouble breathing, and some people felt their blood boiling and their primal power was about to surge out!

The commentary booths in each competition zone were even more nerve-wracking, with countless commentators' shouts frantically assaulting the audience's eardrums.

"My God! Let's congratulate IG! Their top, mid, and jungle are like three reincarnated monsters. Playing AD or support on IG is a sure way to win as long as you don't feed!"

Several bearded men from the European and American regions were incredibly excited and praised the IG team to the best of their ability.

Meanwhile, in the LCK commentary booth, several Koreans looked as if they had lost their parents, as if several people in their family had died. They held their heads and wailed, and even had tears welling up in their eyes.

They never expected that SKT, on whom they had placed such high hopes, would face such an outcome, losing the match point to IG.

If they lose one more game, their journey in this competition will come to an end.

All the talk of rebuilding the glory of the LCK region and the return of the kings has become a joke.

The entire Korean internet is filled with anger at this moment, and countless Koreans have begun to curse the family tree of the SKT members.

[Damn it! Clid, can't you just die?! He lost the game, so he jumped into the sea to feed the sharks!]

[I really can't understand why the jungler got destroyed like this. Can't they even initiate team fights when playing Jarvan IV?!]

[What a piece of trash Khan is! He plays Captain and can't deal any damage, getting stomped on the head by a vampire. Get lost!]

[What kind of three-time world champion is this? If you can't play, just retire! Playing Galio is completely useless, we're always at a disadvantage in mid lane. I'm begging you, just retire, please!!]

Faker made SKT great! But he also destroyed SKT!

On the big screen, the camera focused on Faker, who was stunned in front of the computer screen after losing the second game, with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. The high-definition picture made it clear to viewers all over the world.

This resonated with many people.

The man once widely recognized as the Great Demon King, a god-like figure in League of Legends, has truly aged.

Instead.

The camera panned to the IG match area, where Chu Ran's handsome appearance caught the audience's eye, with a slight smile on his face, looking quite dashing.

An ancient god is on the verge of falling.

A new god only needs to win one more game to successfully ascend to the throne.

As for Meiko, who was celebrating next to Chu Ran, he was automatically ignored by everyone. Supports don't usually attract much attention, and with IG this year, it's like they can win even with two dogs in the bot lane.

Some viewers have this feeling.

That's IG this year; they can win even with Uzi on their roster.

Ueno is ridiculously fierce, completely unlike a normal human being.

In contrast, the LPL commentators, including Miller, continued their enthusiastic praise without ceasing.

Miller raised his arms and shouted with all his might, "Let's congratulate IG! They've successfully taken the match point. If they win the third game, they'll become this year's champions!"

"Yes, we can see that Faker seems to be sweating a lot." Guan Zeyuan nodded with a smile. "Anyone would be confused in this situation. TheShy's Vladimir is just too terrifying, and behind him, there is an even more terrifying Chu Shen. Chu Shen's Camille stats are extremely exaggerated, and he is the one who is driving the pace of the game!"

Wang Duoduo strongly agreed with this statement and quickly echoed, "That's right. It can only be said that Clid was completely outclassed by Chu Shen. Chu Shen helped Rooike in the early game, and the mid-jungle synergy expanded the advantage in the bottom lane, which gave Vladimir a bigger stage to perform."

"And now, if Chu Shen wins the third game, he will become the first man in League of Legends professional history to win three championships in just three years since his debut—a three-time champion!!!"

As soon as Wang Duoduo finished speaking, all the live broadcast rooms exploded instantly, and even the servers became a bit laggy. When IG won the second game, the news began to spread across various forums, platforms, and so-called group chats, instantly attracting countless viewers to the live broadcast rooms, all wanting to witness this historic moment!
[6666! Chu Shen is awesome! Three Grand Slams in three years since his debut! Chu Shen is truly the GOAT of League of Legends!]

[In a word, God! And not from nowhere!]

[It would have been better if Faker had retired earlier. If he had retired after playing in the Bird's Nest stadium, he would have been a legend by now.]

[Hahaha, Han Xiaozi, science idiots, and haters, shut your filthy mouths right now! You're not allowed to yell at Chu Shen anymore!]

[Sigh, some people are about to win their third World Championship title, while others have played professionally for countless years and haven't even won a single LPL title. The difference is obvious!]

[BIG! A Void Champion doesn't count as a champion, right?]

The barrage of comments kept scrolling, filling the entire screen.

Most streamers are excited for IG, because if IG really wins the championship again, it will be an honor for the entire LPL.

Many clubs were unhappy, but also hoped that Chu Ran would win the championship.

The reason for his unhappiness is that Chu Ran won the championship again, and the LPL's viewership will be even more concentrated on him and IG.

The reason there is hope is that if IG doesn't win the championship, then the viewership of LPL next year will definitely decrease, which will affect all clubs.

Initially, everyone thought the best scenario would be for RNG or FPX to win the championship and for a new god to ascend to the throne. However, these two teams were disappointing and were eliminated in the round of 16.

At this moment, inside the RNG club.

Uzi was pounding on the table, and the temperature in the training room seemed to rise because of him.

Anger, shock, and jealousy!

But this time, he wasn't jealous of Chu Ran and the others; he was jealous of Jackeylove!

He would be truly dissatisfied if Jackeylove won the championship like this.

Even though he's not as strong as Uzi, including Deft and Imp from last year, Uzi can't understand why these AD carries aren't as strong as him, yet they still managed to win the championship!
The reason for all of this is that they have many strong teammates.

Regarding IG this year, Uzi really feels that if he goes up to play the AD position, he can simply crush the opponents.

"You fucking bastard!!"

Uzi got angrier the more he thought about it and finally snapped!
They're all terrible teammates!

If he had some good teammates over the years, he would have won countless championships by now!
Seeing Uzi like this, Xiaohu and the others were shocked. They felt that Uzi was about to go berserk, as if he was about to have rabies, and they quickly made preparations.

Meanwhile, at the FPX club...

Doinb also started making sarcastic remarks in the live stream, saying, "It's not over yet. I don't think we should celebrate so soon. SKT still has a chance to come back from 0-2 down to win 3-2."

As soon as he finished speaking, his live stream was flooded with angry comments criticizing him, which enraged Doinb and fueled his jealousy.

He's played for so many years, but he hasn't won a single championship. Sometimes he wonders, why?
Take this year for example. Doinb felt like he was the chosen one of the current meta, but he ended up with a bunch of useless teammates. Xiaotian shared the same thought, looking at Churan shining in the spotlight with envy. Even though he carried the team so much this year, he only made it to the top 16 and ended up watching the games from home.

The world is so unfair!
This thought filled Xiaotian's mind, which immediately aggravated his depression, and his gaze towards Doinb became even colder, plunging the entire FPX atmosphere into a freezing point once again.

After the second game ended, major regions around the world were briefly in a frenzy.

In the SKT backstage lounge, Faker looked at his slightly trembling hands, his expression somewhat sorrowful.

He began to doubt again whether he should really retire.

I've never felt this fear before, no matter how many storms I faced.

Yes!

Faker is scared!

Just like in the Bird's Nest final that year, he was afraid of falling on the final stage again. After losing that year, Faker vowed that if he made it to the final again, he would never lose again.

After a year of reflection following S8, he felt it was time to make a comeback this year. However, Chu Ran's image kept appearing in his mind, the man who had appeared in his dreams countless nights.

Like a nightmare, or even more like a towering mountain, it pressed down on him once again, making it hard for him to breathe.

Apart from Faker, everyone else had very different expressions, all with gloomy faces and fell silent.

To be honest, after this battle, their resolve was truly shattered.

They didn't make any major mistakes in this game. For example, Khan was just farming in the top lane, preparing to take over the game, but he was inexplicably killed.

The image of that vampire instantly killing him kept replaying in his mind, refusing to leave!

As for Clid, he now feels that he is not suitable for jungling. Every time he makes a move, Chu Ran can guess it. No matter what he does, it's as if Chu Ran can read his mind.

If he dares to do anything, he will definitely be caught by Chu Ran.

If he didn't do anything, Chu Ran would just go straight into his jungle. After this game, Clid felt that Chu Ran wasn't human at all, but a god who could understand other people's minds!
As for Teddy and Mata, they felt that Jackeylove and Meiko weren't strong, but they just couldn't beat them or win the game.

Blame it?

The entire backstage area fell into a deathly silence, and a sense of unspoken despair slowly filled their hearts.

Seeing this, SKT's head coach immediately clapped his hands to wake everyone up, and said with a forced sigh, "What! Have you been defeated so easily! We haven't lost yet!"

"We are a three-time champion dynasty! Each of you needs to think about how much effort you've put in this year to get to where you are today. Now, we've let the opponent get match point first! Does that mean we're guaranteed to lose just because they get match point?!"

"I firmly believe that you who are standing on this stage are no worse than anyone else, and the other side is not much stronger than us either. It's just a matter of decision-making and handling!"

"As long as we can do these things well, I think coming back from 2-0 down to 3-2 shouldn't be a problem!"

At this point, he glanced at Faker and slowly said, "Sang-hyeok, I won't help you pick champions in the next game. You pick the champion you think you should pick, and that applies to everyone, not just Sang-hyeok!"

"Believe in yourselves, we are the strongest! Easy wants to become a god, we won't allow it!"

As he finished speaking, Faker and his teammates couldn't help but think about their efforts over the past year, and even the hardships of their entire professional careers. Suddenly, a sense of relief rose in everyone's hearts.

That's because they didn't want to admit defeat so easily!
Just like Showmaker before them, no one knows how long their professional careers will last, or whether they will have the opportunity to stand on the final stage of such a world championship again.

They must seize every opportunity.

So what if they're down by two match points? As long as their opponents aren't gods, they still have a chance to win.

Even a god!
They too will make the gods bleed!

“Yes! That’s it!!”

Seeing their morale gradually recover, SKT's head coach breathed a sigh of relief. If they could maintain this momentum and win the third game, they could continue to ride that momentum and have a real chance to come back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2.

but.
If they lose the third game, most of them might lose their fighting spirit forever, and their future professional careers might be ruined. But there's no other way now.

Even if they have to lose, SKT must lose with their heads held high!
Compared to the SKT backstage area, the atmosphere in the IG lounge was noticeably more relaxed, with Meiko and the others slapping their thighs and laughing hysterically.

"Yu Wenbo, you don't understand. Just thinking about Mata's face makes me want to laugh. If we hadn't run into KT at last year's World Championship, Imp would probably have been ecstatic."

Meiko raised her phone as she said this, "Ran-ge, Pupu replied to my message."

He shoved the phone in front of Chu Ran, and saw that Imp's reply was—"Crush Mata! I'll smash his mouth in!"
"Pfft, I bet they're laughing so hard they're bored."

Chu Ran nodded with a smile, while Jackeylove suddenly spoke up, "That pack of dried shredded bread, three rounds, let's make sure they don't win a single round!"

"A clean sweep! We won't give SKT a chance to go on a northern expedition!"

Upon hearing Jackeylove's words, Chu Ran nearly spat out the mineral water in her mouth.

He never expected that the term "Northern Expedition" would come out of his mouth like that.

At that very moment, TheShy was patting Rookie on the shoulder, comforting him: "We can definitely win, don't be nervous, I'll lead you to the championship this time!"

We must win!

Having reached this point, Rooike is filled with trepidation. He has longed for this championship for far too long, and now he is only one step away.

Last year, he was crushed by EDG led by Chu Ran on this final stage. This year, although Chu Ran is his teammate, the opponent is Faker. He is really worried that Faker will have a breakout performance later on.

"Don't worry, we'll crush them in the next round!"

Chu Ran said confidently, then suddenly remembered something, immediately took out her phone, and opened the Weibo editor.

Having secured match point in the final, how could we not celebrate with champagne at halftime?
When others open champagne, it's a slap in the face; when Chu Ran opens it, it's a genuine gesture!

A moment later, Chu Ran's latest Weibo post appeared before countless netizens.

Weibo IG-Easy:

[Oh my god! I'm on the S9 finals stage, and I've already got two match points! Even though I already have two championships, I've never felt this amazing! Get ready to cheer for me! Cheer for me!!!]

The moment he posted this Weibo update, Meiko and the others burst out laughing, and the Weibo buzz surged!
