LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 394 From now on, you are the challengers!
Cheers and shouts echoed continuously.

The audience at the stadium and many commentators in the commentary booth had already stood up. They raised their hands high and cheered for IG with all their might.

Countless Chu Ran fans felt their blood boiling; they had truly witnessed a miracle.

Even if some people are not so fond of Chu Ran, or even saddened by Faker's fall on the final stage again, they have to admit that so far, the white-clad boy who is cheering and jumping with his coach and teammates on the stage is an undisputed miracle.

He is even more deserving of the title of "god" than Faker.

He officially debuted in the professional league three years ago and won three Grand Slams. Even the word "god" is not enough to describe his greatness!
"Easy! Easy—!"

"Number one!!"

The sound waves from the hall converged into a torrent, resounding continuously at this moment, stirring the hearts of everyone present.

The spotlight shone on Chu Ran and the others on the stage, and their faces were displayed on the big screen, which was very moving!

"My God, this young man from the East has created a miracle once again. He has won his third World Championship title, achieving three consecutive Grand Slams. A new era has begun on the League of Legends professional stage!"

"Let's cheer for him, let's applaud him!! Let's shout his name!!"

In the European and American commentary booths, several bearded commentators were blushing. Being able to witness the birth of a miracle was a memorable experience, even if their own region's team wasn't in the finals today!
"That's Easy! Congratulations Easy! Congratulations IG! Congratulations LPL!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the scene and the live broadcast rooms in Europe and America erupted again, with praise pouring in, a stark contrast to the LCK region.

If the European and American regions are going crazy with excitement at seeing another miracle in professional esports...

Most of the Koreans are feeling sad, angry, and resentful that their own region failed to regain its glory, as well as dissatisfied with Chu Ran and LPL winning the championship again!

They couldn't accept that the LPL region, which they used to look down on, had won three Grand Slams in a row, all of which were achieved by defeating their region. This broke their hearts.

On the LCK commentary booth, several Korean commentators were hysterical, and their voices were choked with emotion.

"Damn it, why is this happening?! Pizza, completely pizza! Easy from LPL has defeated Faker again and won his third championship in his career!"

"It's really unacceptable. Does this mean our region is ultimately unable to defeat him?"

The screams belonged to LCK, while the cheers belonged to LPL. The LPL commentary booth had become incredibly noisy, with Guan Zeyuan and others gesturing excitedly and even cracking their voices.

"Congratulations to IG, congratulations to Chu Shen!! They have once again brought another World Championship title to the LPL region, and Chu Shen and Meiko have also won their third championship! They have made history, they have created a miracle! It's unbelievable! We used to envy Faker, the three-time world champion, but today, we no longer need to envy him!"

Guan Zeyuan raised his arms and shouted, his face flushed, "Because our LPL region also has its own three-time champions, namely Chu Shen and Meiko! Let's give them a big round of applause!!"

“Yes!” Miller roared. “We went through the darkest times. Back then, we longed for and yearned for the championship. Then, in the Bird’s Nest that year, Chu Shen suddenly appeared. He created a miracle for the first time. At that time, many people thought he was just a flash in the pan, but Chu Shen used his strength to shatter all doubts!”

"He was not a flash in the pan; he is an eternal god. From that year on, the LPL region ushered in a new chapter!"

"The dynasty continues, but the new god has already ascended the throne! He is the God of Chu!!" Miller roared with all his might, the sound waves resounding through the sky, constantly stimulating everyone's eardrums.

Not to be outdone, Wang Duoduo, in this exciting moment, was inspired to write poetry and shouted, "Holding stars in my hands and plucking the sun and moon, there is no one like me in the world!"

"He is Chu Shen, who stepped up during the darkest moment for the LPL region and brought back a World Championship trophy for the LPL region once again. I think we can say that!!"

"Our LPL region is the number one region in the world!!!"

After these words were spoken, the LPL live stream chat exploded with excitement. The barrage of comments was nonstop, and the servers even experienced slight lag, creating a dizzying spectacle!
[World's No. 1 Region!! We are the champions again!!]

[Hey, stop talking nonsense!! I told you not to talk nonsense, are you deaf?!]

[IG is awesome! Chu Shen is awesome!!]

[Triple Crown Winner!! Do you even know what it means to win three consecutive championships?!]

Who on earth said Faker and SKT are invincible? Stop talking nonsense!!

The live chat exploded, like a never-ending tide, making many viewers who didn't support Chu Ran and IG before the match furious, and this anger was also filled with a sense of despair.

That means they were all somewhat impressed by Chu Ran.

Is there really anyone who can defeat this man?
Upon realizing this, the group of people immediately cowered and dared not utter another word.

Inside the RNG club, Uzi went into a frenzy upon witnessing this scene; he couldn't accept that Chu Ran had won the championship again.

"Fuck!!"

"Why!! Noobs, how can SKT and Faker be considered noobs?! How could they let Rando win three championships?! Why don't they just die?!"

Uzi's eyes reddened, and jealousy made his face contort. He quietly opened the online forums and found that the finals had just ended, and forums such as Anti-Terrorism Forum, Hupu, and Weibo had already exploded.

In fact, it wasn't just on forums, it was also a huge event in internet cafes and universities!
In many university dormitories, countless figures stood, all shouting at the top of their lungs, "IG is awesome! Chu Shen is awesome!!"

The words echoed through the sky, leaving many people who didn't follow LOL esports unaware of what had happened. However, most of them followed suit due to herd mentality; seeing someone shouting, they joined in.

The main reason is that similar incidents have occurred in the previous two years, so to be honest, most people have become somewhat used to it.

The whole country was shaken by Chu Ran's victory once again!
All the streamers were congratulating Chu Ran and IG. Even some people who didn't want Chu Ran to win the championship were excited at this moment. After all, although they hated Chu Ran, the LPL had produced a three-time champion.

They were still very happy!
Who says the LPL region is inferior to the LCK region? Who says the LPL region is a mercenary region?

Although IG wasn't an all-Chinese team this time, everyone could see that Chu Ran was the biggest contributor and the strongest player.

Chu Ran proved that Chinese people also have talent and skill in the game League of Legends.

They have their own Faker in the LPL too!!
Back at the stadium's competition area, Chu Ran and the others were hugging each other, their faces beaming with excitement, especially Rooike, whose face was streaked with tears.

Weeping with joy!

After so many years of competing in professional esports, I finally achieved my dream and won the S-series championship. All the hardships and joys along the way are worth it at this moment.

The camera and lights shone on Rooike's face, giving him a huge close-up; the world was focused on him.

Seeing this, countless viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast room cheered for Rooike again, and Guan Zeyuan even roared: "We can see that Rooike is now crying tears of joy. After so many trials and tribulations, he has finally achieved success today."

"How much hardship and displacement did it take? Rooike said it was several years of hard work!! Let's give Rooike a round of applause!"

The cheers shook the heavens. Rooike looked at the lively scene and his voice choked with emotion. Since he started playing professionally, he had longed for this day. Last year was the closest he had ever come. But he was stopped in the finals by Chu Ran's EDG team.

After last year's final match, Rooike thought he had no hope because he knew that last year was his peak year and the year he was most suited to the version.

Although he was in pretty good form this year, he wasn't very confident he could win the championship. But he didn't expect Chu Ran to join the team this year. Looking at Chu Ran's handsome face, he choked up and said, "God Chu is awesome!"

"Rooike is awesome!" Chu Ran shouted, raising his arms. Although he had won many championships, he didn't know why.

He is still quite excited to have won the championship. Perhaps this is the meaning of his career in the League of Legends professional arena: to keep winning championships and stand on the final stage of the world's highest competition to receive cheers from thousands of people.

Every year, he proves to the world that he, Chu Ran, is truly number one!
Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, TheShy put his arm around Rooike's shoulder, his face flushed. Originally, TheShy didn't know what a world championship meant to him.

Before he became a professional player, he was a well-known solo queue king in the Korean server. In a sense, when he went pro, he wasn't aiming to win a championship.

There's also a sense of fun in it.

In other words, the random player was too invincible. He wanted to come to the professional circle to see what it was like and challenge those many masters. Originally, TheShy thought that the players in the professional circle were just so-so.

However, he encountered Chu Ran the year he officially debuted in S7, which made TheShy feel a huge gap. But what he wanted to do was to defeat Chu Ran, until he fell on the Incheon final stage last year.

Seeing Rooike crying his heart out touched him deeply; it was then that he realized for the first time how difficult it was to win a world championship.

After the disappointing performances of S7 and S8, TheShy felt a strong desire for the championship for the first time, so he spent a lot of time training hard this year.

At this moment, TheShy was also very excited.

He did it.

All the doubts and ridicule of the past have vanished with the wind!
"Chu Shen is awesome!"

Thinking of this, TheShy roared with all his might and gave Chu Ran a thumbs up, while Jackeylove and Meiko next to him were still gesturing wildly.

Meiko, of course, needs no introduction. He is also a three-time world champion. Although as a support player, his three-time world champion title has not received much attention, Meiko still wants to say that success seems to be a constant throughout one's life.

He debuted with EDG, a top powerhouse in the LPL, and won the LPL Spring Split championship right after his debut. Then he defeated the then-dominant SKT to win the MSI championship.

Although there were some ups and downs afterward, it wasn't a big problem. In S7, he met Chu Ran again and never lost again. In a sense, Meiko is also a winner in life.

"Wenbo, do you even know what a triple crown is?! I was a triple crown winner when I was 20, what about you?!"

"roll roll roll!"

Jackeylove's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a grim expression. He had thought that becoming a world champion at 18 was an achievement that should be among the best of all professional players.

But compared to Meiko, it's just too discouraging.

Not to mention compared to Chu Ran in front of him, they were worlds apart.

But seeing the electrifying scene, Jackeylove was overjoyed. He used to be a streamer, and although he was exceptionally talented from a young age, to be honest, his streams weren't very popular.

After being scouted by IG and embarking on his professional career, he felt lost.

Jackeylove doesn't know if he can make a name for himself in the professional arena.

He was a little scared.

Because many talented players like him didn't make much of a splash in the professional arena, and eventually faded into obscurity, ending up either delivering food or working in factories.

The better option is to become a small-time streamer while also working part-time as a gaming companion to support yourself.

Not only that, he also heavily promoted his anti-fans on social media, and the ridicule and doubts he faced from netizens were immense, but all of that is now in the past.

Today, he proved himself!
Jackeylove has the ability to shine on the professional stage!
He is the champion!

Thinking of this, Jackeylove roared again, which made coach Daeny ecstatic. From an unknown League of Legends player to a PUBG player in a small team, and then to a champion coach.

He really should kowtow to Chu Ran!
While everyone on IG was celebrating, SKT was in a completely different situation. Faker and the others were all crying their eyes out, especially Faker, who had once again fallen on the finals stage, and the one who stopped him from winning the championship was the same person.

Faker looked at Chu Ran's figure with his reddened eyes, feeling somewhat lost and desperate.

Is this man in front of them really someone they can defeat?

Who can defeat him?

At this moment, even his indomitable heart began to crack, let alone Khan and the others.

Khan's mentality was shattered by Chu Ran during S7, and today he fell in the finals. Khan was devastated, having missed out on the championship, and he is unsure if he will ever have such an opportunity again.

An atmosphere of despair spread through his heart and instantly filled his entire body.

As for Clid and Teddy, they stared blankly at the ceiling, unsure if they would even have jobs next year. Clid, well, let's not even talk about him; he was crushed by Chu Ran in all three final matches.

So he will definitely have to take the blame for SKT's loss in the finals. He will be held accountable by the angry Koreans. As for Teddy, the rookie, he actually did quite well, but compared to Jackeylove, he is far behind.

The two of them will definitely be subjected to countless insults from South Koreans.

Mata then tousled his hair. This might have been his last dance this year, but unfortunately, he couldn't pull off a miracle. Perhaps he will have to retire next year.

Looking at Chu Ran's figure, Mata's face was somewhat sad. Chu Ran's presence forced Mata to acknowledge a fact.

That means that on the professional path, there will always be stronger opponents than you, and even Faker is not the only one.

But he believed that Chu Ran was not the only one.

Sooner or later, Chu Ran will also be defeated by those who come after him.

Ah!
He believes it!
A few seconds later, the entire SKT team packed up their equipment in agony, preparing to leave the stage. At that moment, the light strips burst down, creating a golden rain, and the event host began to take the stage.

After a brief congratulatory remark, she handed the microphone to Chu Ran's mouth, and Chu Ran responded with an extremely loud and clear statement that once again sent shockwaves through the already excited competition zones!
"From this day forward, you are the challengers!!!"
