LOL: What is a concept player?

Chapter 392 Half Angel and Half Demon
Seeing this, audiences around the world could hardly believe that this was Faker, the man who once dominated the League of Legends professional scene and was known as the three-time world champion.

Now, he's been beaten so badly he's sweating profusely, and his hands are trembling uncontrollably.

This scene perfectly illustrates that even the universally acknowledged god of League of Legends will one day fall!
"My God! Lee Sang-hyeok was shaking so badly during that team fight, Faker is really getting old! Even though he really wanted to lead his teammates to victory, new generations always come up!"

"Even Faker is powerless against our Chu God!" Guan Zeyuan shouted, raising his arms. "After this team fight, I think we can congratulate IG!"

"That's right!"

Miller watched as Faker wiped the sweat from his brow with trembling arms on camera and couldn't help but sigh, "That's the charm of esports. Even Faker, who was once so confident on the field, has his hands shaking. Time waits for no one!"

"Of course, they also fought so well against IG in this team fight! Chu Shen's ultimate sweep that broke Clid's Q-flash was absolutely crucial!"

After Miller finished speaking, Wang Duoduo quickly chimed in, "Yes, this is exactly what it means for the new generation to surpass the old, and for the old generation to be left behind. Faker wiping his sweat with trembling hands is telling us that a new god will be crowned today!!"

As their words fell, the live broadcast rooms of various events quietly boiled over, with endless barrages flashing and instantly filling the entire screen, leaving no empty space.

[6666! Faker will retire when he gets old! Waiting for Harden to win a championship!]

[Chu Shen is just too strong. It's only because Chu Shen hadn't debuted when Da Fei debuted that Da Fei became a three-time champion.]

[Hilarious! He came back as a champion before the match, only to get beaten so badly he developed Parkinson's.]

[Hahaha, Parkinson's disease, seriously? But it does seem a bit like it. If you can't fight it, don't just occupy the toilet without doing your job.]

So this is what it feels like to have Faker on our team! A comeback from 3-2 down? Forget about it!

Seeing the endless stream of comments in the barrage, many Han fans and science enthusiasts were furious. Everyone was trembling with anger and wished they could silence these pessimistic and mocking viewers.

They offered a brief rebuttal, only to be swallowed up by the endless crowd. The match has now reached this point, with SKT's early-to-mid-game lineup suffering such a significant early-game disadvantage.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of the game knows that SKT has virtually no chance of a comeback. This means that Chu Ran will soon achieve a three-peat, and the only thing they could boast about regarding Faker has been leveled off by Chu Ran.

From now on, they will be completely unable to hold their heads up in front of Chu Ran's fans.

This is simply unacceptable!

Besides them, Uzi, Doinb, and others also couldn't accept it.

Inside the RNG club, Uzi was furious after seeing SKT lose the mid-lane team fight. He was so angry that he almost smashed the table, but he reacted very quickly.

"Guys, my computer suddenly broke down, so that's all for today's live stream. See you all tomorrow."

At this point, Uzi immediately ended the stream, but the chat in his live stream was filled with mocking comments. Everyone knew why Uzi ended the stream at this time.

It's simply because they're worried about being purged by netizens and are trying to escape in advance.

Netizens were right; after Uzi ended his stream, he didn't actually close the live stream. However, his face was flushed, and he was biting his fingers, staring intently at the game.

He still hopes for a miracle, that SKT can come back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2.

I'd rather see Faker win four titles than see Chu Ran win his third Grand Slam.

Coincidentally, besides his lightning-fast end to the broadcast and running away, Doinb also directly said that something had happened at his home in Korea and he needed to return to China immediately to deal with it, and then ended the broadcast, actually watching the game alone.

At the same time, with SKT's loss in this mid-lane team fight, the entire Korean internet was in an uproar, and the anger of the Koreans was palpable.

[Damn it! Sink them all to the bottom of the ocean to feed the sharks!!]

[A bunch of useless trash! What kind of useless people are in the LCK region? Why can't any of them beat Easy? Is Easy really that strong?]

I strongly demand that LCK implement regulations that prohibit our LCK players from playing in other regions; otherwise, it should be a death sentence!

【Agreed!! Seriously! Faker, if you can't win, just quit! You're a useless player with shaky hands!】

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

After seeing the hope of victory, they were first disappointed and now plunged into unparalleled despair. After this team fight just ended, many Koreans felt as if their hearts had stopped.

An atmosphere of despair enveloped their entire region. Some people couldn't bear to watch anymore and had already turned off the live stream. They would only continue watching the game if they won this round.

At that moment, in the LCK commentary booth, several Korean commentators clutched their heads and let out heart-wrenching howls, almost bursting into tears.

"Faker! What are you doing! What are you doing! Why is this happening!"

The fact that the lineup performed like this in the early to mid-game is simply unacceptable.

"Just take a few layers of plating and leave! Why engage in a team fight under the tower?! SKT, are you crazy?!"

Several Korean players were wailing, while the SKT head coach backstage almost couldn't catch his breath. Looking at Faker, whose hands were shaking uncontrollably, he knew it was all over.

At the same time, in SKT's team voice chat, Faker spoke at a machine gun speed, "Stay calm, stay calm, we still have hope, we can still fight."

However, in the team's voice chat, only his voice could be heard; everyone else fell silent, their hands and feet even turning ice-cold.

What hope is there after this team fight?
Unless IG gives them a chance, and all of them become war criminals, allowing them to seize the initiative and launch a beautiful comeback team fight.

but.

Will IG give them a chance?
That's absolutely not going to be given.

At this moment, deafening cheers erupted in IG's voice chat. Meiko exclaimed ecstatically, "Are SKT crazy? How dare they attack us?"

“They got desperate.” Rooike took a deep breath. “They got impatient when we attacked them, and they wanted to push down the middle tower quickly and speed up the pace, but they ended up destroying themselves.”

"What is this called?"

Jakceylove said with a smile, "Turn up the heat to reduce the sauce!"

Looking at the scene before him, Chu Ran's lips curled into a slight smile. "From now on, we just need to avoid battle. We'll give them whatever they want and then exchange resources with them. This lead is enough."

Currently, their economic lead has exceeded 3000. Late-game lineups have this advantage over early-mid game lineups. As long as they play it safe and don't give the opponent any opportunities, they can exchange resources and wait for the game to come to a head.

Victory is within reach. "My god, after this team fight, IG has become much more stable. To put it simply, I'm not giving SKT any chances right now. If SKT wants to push the top lane tower, then so be it. TheShy is not farming the lane anymore, while Chu Shen and Rookie are pushing SKT's bottom lane. Everyone is exchanging resources!"

After SKT respawned, Faker led Clid to the top lane to try and catch TheShy, but TheShy remained calm and turtled under the second tower.

Seeing that SKT was about to push the top lane tower, Chu Ran naturally led Rooike to target SKT's bottom lane tower. This situation made SKT very anxious, as they were unable to widen the economic gap at all.

Immediately after they secured the second dragon, IG immediately began planning their second Rift Herald. This rapid exchange of resources left countless SKT fans breathless.

They seemed to see SKT from many years ago, when SKT played like this against other teams: after gaining an advantage, they would not engage in team fights at all, but would focus on macro-management.

You can outmaneuver the opponent simply by using strategic maneuvering.

"Damn it!! SKT needs to find an opportunity to initiate a team fight while their lineup is still strong, otherwise if they drag the game into the later stages, they will have no hope of turning the game around!"

As the game time ticked away, many Korean players became increasingly anxious, but SKT wanted to initiate team fights but couldn't find any opportunities, especially Rooike's Gangplank.

He completely stopped pushing the lane and just waited for Faker to push the minion wave over so he could farm under the tower. With Chu Ran always by his side as a bodyguard, Clid didn't dare to engage with Vi.

Conversely, Jackeylove's Ashe can always draw a prize as long as her ultimate is available.

Just 15 minutes into the game, a piercing arrow shot from the mid lane to the bottom lane, hitting Khan's Jayce directly, making countless SKT fans' hearts sink!
"My God, Jackeylove's arrow hit Khan squarely! Jayce is going down again!"

Seconds later, under the combined attack of Chu Ran and TheShy, Jayce crashed to the ground, and the crowd erupted in deafening cheers once again.

On the court, Khan's face was contorted in pain, a mask of agony on his face.

Playing Jayce in this game was truly painful; there was absolutely no gaming experience to speak of.

Seeing Chu Ran appear in the bottom lane, Clid immediately launched an attack on Jckeylove and Meiko, who were standing in the mid lane, but the result was not satisfactory.

"Nice!"

"Jackeylove flashed out! What bird-falling slope?! Jackeylove said it's impossible! Rooike used his ultimate to clear the minions, not giving SKT a chance to push the mid-lane tower at all!"

"IG played so steadily, is this really IG? I've never seen such a steady IG before!"

Witnessing all this, Faker felt his arms tremble even more violently. He began to try to attack Rooike's Gangplank, but a bite of orange broke the E skill's stun, and he dodged the chains copied by the ultimate skill.

This made Faker extremely anxious, but he didn't know what to do. He felt like he was being led by the nose by IG.

In fact, it is true.

The second Rift Herald was released by Chu Ran in the mid lane. They weren't as reckless as SKT. After the Herald was released, they immediately retreated. Miller praised them repeatedly when he saw this.

"That's right! That's how IG should play. Wait until 25 minutes before engaging SKT in team fights. That will greatly increase their chances of winning, and they might even be able to end the game in one fell swoop!"

“That’s right,” Guan Zeyuan agreed. “IG can’t rush things right now, because it’s SKT who are in a hurry. SKT is looking for opportunities like crazy. They are eager to turn the tide while their lineup is still strong. But we IG won’t give them any chance at all.”

"Teacher Zeyuan is right. SKT only has one way to break the deadlock now, which is to focus on the Baron Nashor that is about to respawn. However, their lineup is very slow at taking down Baron Nashor!"

Wang Duoduo's analysis is not without reason. Looking at SKT's lineup, it is almost entirely based on Poker-type damage, with almost no high sustained output. Their speed in taking down Baron will be very slow.

But Faker had no other choice. He pressed Tab and looked at the Angel Captain's increasingly better equipment. He knew he had to take a gamble. He immediately signaled towards Baron Nashor, gritting his teeth and saying, "Clear the vision around Baron Nashor!"

Upon seeing the actions of the entire SKT team, countless viewers held their breath in surprise. Several Korean commentators suddenly felt that a glimmer of hope had appeared and immediately began to shout excitedly.

"Aigoo! SKT is going to rush Baron! Do they even have a chance?! This decision is incredibly smart!! IG seems to be too slow to react!"

Seeing the entire SKT team disappear into the Baron pit, Guan Zeyuan and the others widened their eyes, saying in disbelief, "My God, are SKT really going to rush Baron in 20 minutes with this lineup?"

"It feels like Da Long has ruined my life!"

"Wait, no, SKT is using Baron Nashor as a pawn. They're trying to force Chu Shen and his team to come and fight!"

Rooike's eyes narrowed, and he released the Divination Orb, discovering that SKT hadn't attacked Baron. "They're ambushing us. With their lineup, they won't dare rush Baron."

"We still need to regain our sights."

With the equal-proportion gem eliminated, Jackeylove fired an E and discovered that SKT had actually started attacking Baron. He knew that SKT was using Baron to distract them.

If they don't go, they'll really rush. At this moment, TheShy also teleported down, and Chu Ran responded, "Then let's just go for it! They like to use a big fire to finish things off, so let's fight!"

"I'm firing! I'm firing!"

Jackeylove roared, and the captain fired a shot into the sky. Magic Crystal Arrows and gunfire appeared simultaneously in Summoner's Rift, catching SKT and the others completely off guard!
They hadn't even played a few rounds of Poker when IG decisively initiated a team fight?

Chu Ran naturally knew SKT's advantage. They had to go to the Baron pit, but if they pushed forward, they would suffer from SKT's Poker composition, and no one on their side could withstand it.

It would be better to just open it!

"My God! IG initiated a team fight! And Ashe's arrow hit Thresh!" Miller exclaimed in disbelief, "It hit! Ashe's arrow went straight to Thresh!!"

"Chu Shen has entered the arena!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, seeing Thresh hit by Ashe's ultimate, Chu Ran didn't hesitate. Taking down one of them first was fine too. He used W-Flash-E to charge in, followed by a Thunder Clap Slash, sweeping his spear and becoming immune to damage outside the circle!

Chu Ran's Zhao Xin dealt extremely high damage in this game. At the same time, Rooike's Gangplank quickly followed up with damage, using a Q-flash combo with three barrels. Suddenly, bursts of flame appeared on the ground, rushing straight towards SKT's backline!
Bang bang bang!
The intense flames assaulted everyone's senses, and then they saw SKT's backline in chaos, with some players low on health and others using their Flash abilities!

"Rooike! My God!" Wang Duoduo was so excited he could hardly breathe, and he shouted with all his might, "Earthfire! His captain recreated the famous scene of Earthfire!"

"SKT's backline was completely wiped out by him! SKT seems to be retreating! But Jackeylove and TheShy are dealing massive damage!"

"Wait! What is TheShy, this angel, going to do?!"

"R-flash!! The Angel has used R-flash to get into SKT's backline!!"

On screen, TheShy's Angel R-flash dashed into SKT's backline, causing all the viewers to gasp in shock, instantly reminding them of last year's River Aatrox.

This person is truly half angel and half devil!
