LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 332 Likes playing Titan? Humans are treated like dogs!

At this moment, the entire world of competitions was shaken, feeling that Chu Ran was far too arrogant and presumptuous.

However, considering Chu Ran's achievements and honors over the past two years, it seems that Chu Ran does have the right to say this, but it still makes many people furious.

At the scene and in the live broadcast room, many Han fans and science enthusiasts began to attack Chu Ran frantically, but no matter how they attacked, Chu Ran remained unselectable.

In addition, in Faker's live stream...

Upon hearing Chu Ran's words, Faker's expression turned somewhat angry. He quickly adjusted his glasses and tried to speak in a very calm voice:
"To challenge his qualifications? That's interesting."

"But he might not even make it to MSI, so I can't even challenge him."

After he said that, many Korean fans in his live stream immediately started yelling.

[Damn it! I really don't know what this guy is pretending for! He even dared to challenge Faker? Let's see if he can win the championship today!]

[I don't know where he got the courage and confidence to be so arrogant! A two-time champion is better than a three-time champion, right?!]

[I'm so angry I could curse their whole family! Let's figure out how to beat FPX first!]

Besides the LCK region being greatly shaken, the European and American regions were also somewhat shocked; in any case, they wouldn't dare to speak like Chu Ran.

Even G2, the champions of this year's European Spring Split and known as the team most adept at creating unconventional content, wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Because in terms of their region's honor, they are the challengers, and their entire European region has extremely strong confidence.

Even if Faker doesn't have high hopes for IG today, Perkz does.

Inside the G2 club.

Perkz said with a smile, "I want to fight Jackeylove, and I also want to defeat Easy head-on!"

There are two major changes in G2 this year compared to last year.

The first one is that Perkz moved from the mid lane to the AD position and played quite well, which really shocked many viewers.

Another point is that Caps, the European mid laner, has become G2's new mid laner, which is one of the reasons why G2 is so strong this year.

Many viewers in the European region believe that this year is their most promising year in the European region!
"Me too. I hope IG can come to MSI. Beating FPX doesn't give me much of a sense of accomplishment. We still need to beat Easy, the two-time champion!"

Caps nodded in agreement; he was daydreaming again.

I dream of defeating SKT and IG at this year's MSI, beating the two undisputed legends of the League of Legends professional scene, and winning the MSI championship to prove that the European region is the number one region this year!

Not only do they think this way, but countless European and American viewers also think this way, compared to the LCK's greater fear of Chu Ran.

They are not afraid of Chu Ran!
If Chu Ran leads IG to this MSI, they will use their absolute strength to wash away the failures of the previous two years!
It's been so many years!
The European and American esports regions have always been considered by LPL and LCK viewers to be just average!

At this moment, the competition venue had completely erupted in chaos. Cheers, shouts, insults, and taunts filled the air, creating an atmosphere of intense excitement.

After the promotional video ended, the director turned the camera to the commentary booth, where several familiar faces immediately appeared on the big screen.

"Alright, welcome everyone to the 2019 LPL Spring Split Finals! I'm your commentator, Zeyuan!"

"I'm Miller!"

"I am Wang Duoduo."

After a brief opening remark, Guan Zeyuan laughed out loud, "Everyone has seen the promotional video just now. Every player on both sides was full of confidence, especially Chu Shen. He didn't take FPX, who ranked first in the regular season points this year, seriously at all."

"What do you two think? What's your opinion?"

Upon hearing this, Miller pondered for a few seconds before shaking his head and saying, "I can't say for sure. After all, we all know how strong Chu Shen is. I think the reason why FPX got first place in the regular season points this spring is related to the fact that Chu Shen hasn't been in the LPL for a while."

"After Chu Shen returned in the playoffs, we saw how terrifying the IG team with Chu Shen was. Whether it was EDG, Top, or RNG, they all crushed them and didn't even show their full strength."

When Miller finished speaking, Wang Duoduo immediately chimed in, "That's right, I agree with what Teacher Miller said. We all thought that Chu Shen would have trouble adapting after switching from mid lane to jungle, but we didn't expect Chu Shen's jungle skill to be so high. He completely transformed IG in the Spring Split regular season."

"It's fair to say that the IG team in the playoffs is a completely different team from the IG team in the regular season. They have no weaknesses. But then again, FPX is indeed strong this year."

Guan Zeyuan nodded solemnly, acknowledging Wang Duoduo's words, and immediately followed up with his analysis, "Yes, Teacher Duoduo is quite objective."

"Although IG is very strong today, FPX, the biggest dark horse this spring, is not to be underestimated, especially their mid laner Doinb."

At this point, the director displayed Doinb's Spring Split stats on the big screen.

“We’ve also seen Doinb’s stats here. He’s the strongest mid laner this spring, even Rooike can’t compare,” Guan Zeyuan exclaimed.

"That's true. We often see Doinb teaching the opponent all sorts of lessons, both forehand and backhand. This spring, as far as I can remember, Doinb has never lost to any other mid laner in lane. He always pushes the lane, which is terrifying. Especially when he picks Nautilus, he can still have lane priority, thus giving full play to FPX's absolute advantage, with mid and jungle coordinating for a four-man gank on the second lane."

"Miller is absolutely right. That's what makes FPX so terrifying this year. Everyone knows what this team is going to do next, but you just can't stop them!"

As soon as Wang Duoduo finished speaking, many FPX fans went into a frenzy, letting out deafening roars at the scene, and the barrage of comments scrolled by like a tidal wave.

This is FPX!

Do you even know what a little phoenix is?!

[So what if IG is strong? Can they break FPX's mid-jungle synergy and 4v2 gank?]

[This guy just brags and looks down on FPX, little does he know that FPX could easily crush him!]

[Haha, brothers, I've decided to deal with that bastard! He'll be sorry for his pretentious act!]

In an instant, the live broadcast rooms of various competitions were buzzing with discussion, not only among viewers, but also among many professional players and coaches who gathered together to talk about it.

After all, which team didn't suffer from FPX's mid-jungle synergy this spring? Just like Wang Duoduo said, they knew what FPX was going to do next, but they just didn't know how to counter it.

"How do we break this? Just crush their mid lane and we'll break it."

On the field, Daney frowned upon hearing Chu Ran's words. "But boss, how do we crush them if the other side picks something like Nautilus or Karma?"

"We can't just ban all of these things, there won't be enough ban slots."

Several champions that are sure to be banned in the first half of this year include Gangplank and Ezreal, whose Kleptomancy has been greatly buffed, making them two T0-level champions.

There are also top-tier (T1) heroes like Akali, and they can't afford to waste their ban slots on heroes like Nautilus.

Previously, Chu Ran could either go top or mid, so there was no need to restrict the champion pool of the player facing off against Chu Ran. But TheShy and Rooike are not Chu Ran.

"No need to ban, just play normally. Even if he plays Titan, I'll crush him!"

"Ran, you're showing off again." Meiko laughed. "You know how hard it is to catch Doinb this year, don't you?"

"Tianye, what do you know?" Chu Ran raised an eyebrow. "That's their jungler, not mine."

"." Since Chu Ran had made this decision, they had nothing more to say. As the blue side, they immediately began the draft phase for the first match.

Moments later, exclamations of surprise echoed throughout the venue, the live broadcast room, and the commentary booth.

"My goodness, were Chu Shen and Rooike this aggressive in the first game? They picked LeBlanc and Elise right away, just to counter Doinb's Nautilus!!"

Miller's eyes widened in surprise, but that wasn't the most shocking thing. What surprised him even more was IG's choice for the bot lane!

Demar Cat!

At this moment, the minds of both online and offline viewers were completely blank; they never imagined that IG would bring out such a bot lane duo.

The world's major competition regions were stunned, and some club coaches even started taking notes.

"My God! IG's bot lane duo, Garen and Yuumi, what kind of combination is that?" Wang Duoduo exclaimed, raising his arms. "And in the top lane, TheShy's Lucian is going up against GimGoon's Gangplank!"

"We're all baffled by IG's draft picks! At first, we all thought Garen was TheShy's new top laner!"

At the same time, on the FPX team's bench.

Doinb and the others were all dumbfounded. They never expected IG to field such a lineup. FPX's head coach, WarHorse, looked at Daney walking towards him and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He admitted that he had underestimated Daney.

He had initially thought that Daney, this relatively unknown coach, was not very capable, and that the previous victories were largely due to Chu Ran's draft picks. But now it seemed that this was not the case.

When they shook hands, Warhorse gave Daney a second look, noticing the calm yet confident smile on his face. Warhorse had a bad feeling.

After the lineups were swapped, they immediately appeared before everyone.

IG (Blue Side): Top lane Lucian, Jungle Elise, Mid lane LeBlanc, Bot lane Garen and Yuumi.

FPX (Red Side): Top lane Gangplank, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Nautilus, Bot lane Xayah and Thresh.

The moment they saw this lineup, the venue and the live broadcast room went wild. It can be said that every move IG made was beyond their expectations.

Holy crap! What were they thinking with IG's draft picks?!

What do you mean? Playing AD top lane? Don't you have any family?

[Does the top laner only know how to play long-range top laners? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment playing Lucian against Gangplank?]

[This is absolutely disgusting. IG is such a coward. Playing Garen and Yuumi in the bot lane? Is this even a human being capable of thinking of such a combination?]

What? You're not convinced? Go ahead and play too!

[Haha, I like the four-man 2-man strategy. Now let's see how you guys do it.]

The Garen-Yuumi lineup for IG was unexpected worldwide, as it was the first time it had appeared in a professional match.

When Chu Ran first had Meiko and Jackeylove train in this group, they were just as shocked as the audience is now.

Perhaps due to Chu Ran's butterfly effect, the cat was released two months ahead of schedule by the designer, so Chu Ran naturally had to make good use of it.

As for TheShy's Lucian, he already has the talent to play AD carry, and after a few practice sessions, he's already got a trump card, which he brought out to counter Gangplank.

"It has to be God Chu again. It feels like God Chu has reached the point of being able to predict the future," Rooike exclaimed.

"Master Chu!"

"Tianye, what kind of demigod is this? God Chu!" Jackeylove immediately started jeering.

With this lineup, as long as they play steadily, FPX will not be able to break through by using a four-man gank on the second lane. On the contrary, seeing Garen and Yuumi, they will likely only be able to gank the top lane.

However, this is all contingent on the mid lane remaining untouched.

Seeing Garen and Yuumi, with Yuumi actively healing and providing a shield while Garen passively heals, left Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang completely dumbfounded.

I don't know how to type it.

Garen can completely tank their damage output and then use his E skill to clear the minion wave; it's simply shameless.

"Don't panic. If we can't handle their bot lane, we can't handle their top lane, right? This game, Xiaotian and I will dive their top lane together. Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang, you two push the lane more, and Liu Qingsong will roam!"

Doinb immediately devised a strategy, so when the game started, the two sides met in the river and then nothing happened.

Gao Tianliang chose to start in the bottom half of the map, farming from bottom to top, hoping to catch TheShy. Chu Ran also chose to start in the bottom half of the map.

It was a normal red buff, except that he and Meiko both brought a scanner at the start of the game, which cleared both of FPX's level 1 wards in their red jungle.

However, the current version has been changed, and clearing eyes no longer grants experience, which shows the designers put a lot of thought into it.

"Oh? Both junglers started in the bottom half of the map, while Chu Shen cleared out FPX's entire jungle. Does he have some kind of plan at level two?" Miller asked in surprise.

At the same time, at 1 minute and 35 seconds, after the mid lane minions came online, Doinb kept looking at IG's red jungle, leaning against the top half of the jungle, wary of Churan ganking mid at level two.

In fact, Doinb's idea was correct. With the help of the bottom lane duo in clearing the jungle, Chu Ran used Smite to quickly take down the red buff and then walked towards the mid lane, which surprised many viewers!
"Wow! Chu Shen is really going to gank mid at level two, targeting Doinb. But for Doinb, what do you think? Is there even a chance?"

Guan Zeyuan's speech suddenly quickened, "Titan level 1 hasn't learned any skills yet, but Rooike hasn't either. Chu Shen just camps here; he's become a patient hunter!"

At this moment, Chu Ran crouched in the middle of the passage between his own F6 and the first line of bushes, blocking Doinb's vision, waiting for an opportunity.

Even if you catch someone at level two, you don't necessarily have to catch them immediately.

For example, first lower Doinb's defensive morale.

As Chu Ran expected, the first wave of minions was about to die, but Doinb still hadn't seen Chu Ran's arrival, which immediately made him less wary.

"They shouldn't be here by now."

They had also studied Chu Ran's jungling style. Chu Ran was the kind of person who cherished every minute and second of farming jungle camps, so in theory he wouldn't camp recklessly.

In fact, a good jungler will not try to gank recklessly, because if you can't get a kill, it means your jungle clearing speed is behind, and then you will fall behind.

Hard squats are a very risky decision, especially at the very beginning.

If Chu Ran is really camping, then as long as his team escapes, Chu Ran will be in trouble, because by then their jungler will have already cleared three camps, while Chu Ran will only have cleared one buff.

Thinking of this, Doinb breathed a sigh of relief and immediately learned the E skill, walked up and used E to clear the wave, preparing to reach level 2 first.

But in that split second!

Rooike and Chu Ran both smiled, and then the two of them quickly pressed towards Doinb!
