LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 389 Whoever gets stabbed dies, a frenzied massacre!
"SKT! SKT!"

"IG! IG!"

Inside the huge stadium, the audience cheered for both teams, especially the SKT fans, who shouted at the top of their lungs.

This game was SKT's last hope; if they didn't win, they would fly back home overnight.

Why overnight?

Because if it were any later, and the Korean audience reacted by the time they landed, they might be shot dead.

More importantly, countless Faker fans hope that Faker can win. If he loses this time, then Faker may have no hope of winning four championships.

Falling in the finals once again, they couldn't even imagine how devastating this was for a professional player. Whether they would still have the willpower to continue competing in professional matches was a question.

Amid cheers from the crowd, Summoner's Rift gradually unfolded before everyone's eyes.

"Okay, we can see that both sides have entered the game, but we have to say that IG's lineup selection this game is a bit unconventional. Their fighting power in the early and mid-game is very weak."

Guan Zeyuan frowned, somewhat worried about IG's chances in this game.

He didn't really understand why IG chose such a late-game lineup.

Miller quietly spoke up, "That's true, but we have to trust IG. Maybe a few people from IG want to try something new."

After he finished speaking, Wang Duoduo immediately said, "I can only hope that IG can get through the early and mid-game smoothly. As long as they don't collapse in the early and mid-game, their chances of winning are still quite high."

However, as soon as Wang Duoduo finished speaking, many rebuttals appeared in the live broadcast room.

It's basically all Han Xiaozi and tadpoles!
[I'll beat you to hell! How can this IG lineup possibly compete with SKT?]

[IG's lineup is hilarious. Do they really think they've got the game in the bag with a 2-0 lead?]

Looking down on SKT, not treating them like human beings? Waiting for SKT to come back from 0-2 down to win 3-2!

[This is insane! If IG hadn't fallen behind by 8000 gold 25 minutes, I'd eat shit.]

[Top and mid lanes are late-game carries, bot lane is a utility player, and the jungler is playing Xin Zhao? Does this guy really think he's Zhao Zilong, capable of seven charges in and out of enemy lines?]

SKT won! I've seen this episode before. They came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2, completely dominating the opponent.

...

Many people, upon seeing IG's lineup, immediately wondered how they could possibly win.

Not only viewers, but also many streamers, professional players, and club managers share this view.

Even if your late-game lineup is strong enough to farm safely, it's like going against SKT's early-game lineup.

If you can't get lane control, it means your support will always be a step behind others.

What about the resources in the jungle?
They handed everything over to SKT.

If you're going to give away all the Dragon Vanguards, you might as well give away the Crystals too.

At this moment, the popularity of the live stream is still rising, and more and more viewers are coming in. When they see IG's lineup, they are all stunned.

[6666! All I can say is that this is so Instagrammable!]

If I win, I'll literally run naked at Changsha University of Science and Technology.

【Wait, are they already playing the favor game? Are they really going to give away a win?】

[It seems like this guy has started manipulating the market and bought in himself.]

...

Amidst the heated discussion, Summoner's Rift finished loading.

"Go go go!" Meiko took the lead, sending out many signals towards the lower river channel.

"Let's just invade directly. Whether it's the opponent's lineup or their mentality, they definitely won't dare to fight us."

Meiko's words were endorsed by Rooike.

With a level 1 captain, level 2 letter, level 3 crocodile that will kill you, plus a Braum, their level 1 squad's combat strength is truly not weak.

Moreover, SKT would absolutely not dare to fight them.

Everyone starts with the same economic situation, so SKT definitely has the advantage.

How to play Kayle against Jayce in the top lane?
Angels are number 16, teammates are number 15.

But if the Angels' first-tier team manages to get two kills, then things are hard to say; the same applies to the Captain.

Therefore, Chu Ran immediately made a decision, "Okay, invade and force the opponent to switch jungles with me, but TheShy should be careful."

"I just need to develop."

Since we've already chosen the Angel through reverse counters, there doesn't seem to be a better way than not developing her.

If Chu Ran wants to switch jungle areas, then he needs to start farming early on.

Never attempt to last-hit minions that have already depleted your health, or you're very likely to get tower-dived.

Of course, it's possible to get full health, but the probability is slightly lower than getting low health.

However, there are advantages to switching jungle camps. In the current version, Vi's stats are not high, and solo jungle clearing is slow and damaging, which can greatly delay Clid's pace.

Furthermore, Chu Ran can also pose a threat to their bottom lane. With SKT's lineup, EZ hasn't gotten going, so their early game damage output will be lower.

Of course, LeBlanc and Jayce are enough.

"Oh dear, IG is making a deep run into SKT's red jungle, forcing Clid to switch jungle camps!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed. "SKT definitely won't dare to accept this!"

Just as Chu Ran and the others had expected, Faker immediately gave the order to retreat when he saw Chu Ran and the others coming.

This game is extremely crucial for them, so naturally they need to play it safe.

Seeing that SKT had voluntarily given up, the Korean commentators breathed a sigh of relief.

"Clod is having a tough time here. He went to the enemy's jungle alone and is going to clear the jungle by himself. Khan can't help him."

"Yes, Jayce will definitely try to take the lane at level one and pressure TheShy's Kayle."

In an instant, minions appeared, and jungle monsters began to revive.

Chu Ran chose to learn E at level 1. Currently, Zhao Xin has been reworked. His W, which used to provide attack speed and lifesteal, has been changed to a forward dash. Marking an enemy allows E to travel further.

However, the attack speed bonus provided has been moved to the E skill.

In the current version, it doesn't really matter which skill Zhao Xin learns for solo jungle clearing; learning E is just a little faster.

He continued farming buffs and pulling jungle monsters smoothly, then chose to farm the Krugs as his second option. The broadcast camera didn't focus on him, but instead focused on TheShy.

Looking at the top lane, TheShy was able to put up a fight with Jayce at level one.

After all, a level one angel is actually not bad, and Jess isn't level two, so his combat power isn't that fierce.

"Wow! TheShy's little turn directly avoided Jayce's cannon, so the level 1 trade was worthwhile." Miller said with admiration. "Moreover, TheShy started with a Doran's Ring and had two health potions, so he can say that he safely got through the early game."

Currently, Jayce and Kayle are in similar positions, with the minion waves even. TheShy doesn't need to worry about Jayce getting level 2 first and then unleashing a combo, thus being forced out of the experience zone.

But it was only a brief moment of brilliance; after Jayce reached level two, it was TheShy's time to suffer.

Khan's lips curled up, and he looked particularly relaxed, already planning to call Clid over to tower dive later.

As for the mid lane, he was still much better than TheShy, as Faker didn't actively harass or trade blows at level 1.

But he was quite skilled at using his A-bricks, and Rooike felt a pang of regret when he saw his own bricks being knocked down.

Without barrels, his wave clear speed is far slower than LeBlanc's, and placing barrels around himself poses a threat to Faker.

If he dares to step on it, he might get blown up.

"It's a bit upsetting, Rooike. I can only say that IG's lineup selection was terrible. It seems like this game will completely depend on Chu Shen's performance." Wang Duoduo shook his head.

At this moment, Chu Ran was watching the situation on all three lanes and quickly finished off the Krugs and F6 camps, while the top lane began to suffer.

Seeing TheShy's low health, Chu Ran warned him to be careful of being dove, but he couldn't go to help.

"If we really get overrun, we should try to stall for as much time as possible. I'm going to gank mid lane."

After analyzing Clid's psychology, Chu Ran made a decision.

You definitely can't use Teleport (TP) by pressing B at this point in the top lane. If you get dove after using TP, you're completely doomed. On the contrary, having TP in hand can help you stabilize the situation.

"Meiko, you two, pretend to be the jungler behind you."

Hearing Chu Ran's words, Meiko said with a grin, "Brother Ran, are you going to start deceiving the other side again? Watch me, I'll be an Oscar winner."

As soon as he finished speaking, he deliberately placed his Q forward, and Jackeylove's positioning also became more aggressive.

Seeing this, Teddy and Mata were not going to fall for it. They had revealed that Zhao Xin was in their jungle, and Chu Ran might be behind them.

However, it cannot be taken as a complete discovery. A situation must be created where Chu Ran thinks he has a chance, but in reality he has no chance. This will significantly pull Chu Ran away, causing him to waste a lot of time in the bottom lane.

This slows down Chu Ran's jungle clearing speed. With slower speed, jungle monsters respawn slowly, and eventually his level will fall behind, causing him to fall behind.

The next second, Mata decisively hooked her arm around Jackeylove, pretending to have been tricked.

In reality, he had already calculated everything in his mind. With Chu Ran appearing, he still had the Pendulum of Misfortune, and he was very close to a safe position, which was more than enough to get rid of Hanbing and Bronn's pursuit.

But just as he was feeling smug, Chu Ran had already finished clearing the bottom river crab and sneaked up to the vicinity of the mid lane, while Faker was completely unaware of this.

According to Rooike's information, Faker had previously placed a ward in the bottom river, but not too far in, so Chu Ran came up from the bottom lane's tri-bush.

This move completely caught many South Koreans off guard.

"Oh my god, Chu Shen isn't going to mess with SKT's bot lane duo, he's going to mess with Faker! From what Faker knows, he thinks Chu Shen is still in the bot lane! But Chu Shen has already sneaked up to his flank!"

Miller's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, praising Chu Ran's variation as a very clever decision.

Seeing this, the Korean commentators became extremely anxious, wishing they could remotely control Faker. Everyone was worried for Faker.

"Lee Sang-hyeok, don't fall for it! This captain is trying to seduce you!"

In the mid-lane, Rooike used his pre-placed barrels to clear the minion wave, giving Faker an opportunity to harass and pressure him.

As a champion like him, it's impossible for him not to actively seek opportunities. Judging from the actions of the bottom lane, Chu Ran is most likely in the bottom lane, and he hasn't seen Chu Ran in his vision.

After a quick thought, Faker felt there was no problem and immediately used W to step on it. After using W to dash, he still maintained a distance from Gangplank. His main strategy was to use W to close the distance while clearing minions, and at the same time use QEA to harass Gangplank.

If the captain doesn't place barrels beforehand, he can only Q him once at most, but the captain can directly use Electrocute. This kind of trade is a huge advantage. If it happens a few times, Rooike will be unable to lane.

The next second, his LeBlanc began to dodge and weave, but just as he used WQE, Faker's pupils suddenly dilated.

With a grunt!
With a flash of golden light, Rooike decisively used Flash, followed by a gunshot and a Fire Blade, and then placed a barrel at the landing point of LeBlanc's W skill.

At that moment, Faker immediately realized something, and sure enough, Chu Ran's Xin Zhao appeared in his field of vision on his flank, instantly making countless viewers hold their breath.

"My God! Rooike flashes and QA to deal damage, is there any chance?!" Guan Zeyuan shouted, "LeBlanc still has Flash, Faker immediately Ws back! But Chu Shen's Xin Zhao seems to have aimed at the spot where LeBlanc went back and released his W!"

Seeing Zhao Xin raise his hand, Faker decisively used Flash, but he did not expect that Chu Ran's reaction speed was much faster than his.

Suddenly, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Zhao Xin used a W flash, and in the scene, a spear directly pierced LeBlanc's buttocks, causing Faker to shudder three times.

The audience and commentators in each competition area were stunned and speechless!

"My God!!! Chu Shen predicted Faker's Flash with his W Flash!" Wang Duoduo exclaimed excitedly, "Then there's a chance! Chu Shen went straight in!!"

In an instant, LeBlanc was marked by Xin Zhao. In a flash, Chu Ran decisively used his E skill, and then turned into a blur, directly stabbing towards LeBlanc.

A little bit of cold light arrives first!
Seeing Zhao Xin attack, Faker gritted his teeth and frantically clicked the mouse, his face filled with tension. However, he was stuck to Chu Ran's Zhao Xin with the red buff and had no way to move, so he couldn't escape at all.

Just as he was about to reach the turret's protection range, Zhao Xin had already used his third Q.

Bang it!
As Zhao Xin thrust his spear forward, LeBlanc was instantly knocked away, and Gangplank's triple barrels were simultaneously released by Rooike, causing flames to erupt on the ground and countless sparks to rush towards LeBlanc.

It's visibly clear that the Demoness's health is dropping rapidly!
The next second, Chu Ran followed up with another basic attack, instantly depleting the Demoness's health. The awe-inspiring game announcement immediately rang out!

"IG-Easy has killed SKT-Faker!"

"First blood!"

When the first blood rang out, the scene and the live broadcast room instantly became incredibly exciting. Of course, there were also many wails of despair, and countless SKT fans sighed in despair, as the little hope that had just been ignited was extinguished once again.

"Nice!"

"Rooike's triple barrel combo dealt the final bit of damage, allowing Chu Shen to kill Faker and secure First Blood for the team!" Miller shouted, raising his arms. "This is our IG! Who says a late-game composition can't gain an early advantage!"

"That's right, Chu Shen's sudden change of tactics was simply invincible, completely fooling SKT. Their bot lane duo was completely dumbfounded when they saw the jungler gank and give them first blood in the mid lane. Why did the jungler suddenly go to the mid lane!" Guan Zeyuan laughed.

As he said, Mata and Teddy were completely bewildered at the moment, but they quickly realized they had been tricked and immediately roared in impotent rage.

"No way, how could this jungler be so mean!"

Just as everyone was cheering for IG, suddenly, another kill notification rang out, leaving the whole world stunned!

"IG-TheShy has killed SKT-Clid!"
