With Wu Zai's angry roar, the bullet comments in his livestream room immediately started scrolling.
Hahaha, I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself! This guy did it on purpose!
This is too hilarious. Using Shockwave in front of the World's Number One Shockwave—maximum program effect!
Bold. All I can say is this guy's career is over.
De-nationalize warning!
At that moment, countless people were somewhat bewildered and at a loss.
In EDG's backstage area, Abu pursed his lips. "Little Ran can play Jayce?"
"He can play him a little, but I don't know how proficient he is."
Ming Kai held back a laugh. Based on what he had learned about Chu Ran lately, he knew Chu Ran had definitely picked Jayce on purpose.
This little bastard had a death wish, didn't he?
For a moment, Guan Zeyuan and the others at the commentary booth were deeply taken aback. They had not expected Chu Ran to pick Jayce.
Wawa immediately shouted, "Wow! Jayce! Player Easy took out Jayce, but from what we know, Player Easy's proficiency with Jayce isn't very high."
"Maybe he thinks Jayce can deal with Little Dog's Caitlyn better. The Shockwave's hit rate is higher."
Miller widened his eyes at Guan Zeyuan, looking somewhat horrified. Are you out of your fucking mind too? Chu Ran doesn't even know Uzi is playing Caitlyn. What else could that be if not a hint?
He hurriedly patched things up, saying with a smile, "Caitlyn versus Jayce will depend on the hit rate of Jayce's QE Combo. Given Little Dog's positioning, I think it'll be difficult for Player Easy to land it. And Caitlyn has her E Skill, so Jayce won't be able to get close at all."
The bullet comments in the official livestream rooms across every platform had already exploded. The instant countless Imperial fans saw Chu Ran pick Jayce, their faces flushed red with fury.
Fuck! What does this Ran Chu think he's doing? Playing Jayce in front of Little Dog in a Solo Competition?
Does someone with this kind of professionalism deserve to be a professional player? The LPL is truly beyond saving if they don't ban someone like him.
What a beast. But it's fine—Caitlyn is Little Dog's comfort pick. Just watch him crush this guy.
Why doesn't someone like Ran Chu just die? He's disgusting. He deliberately picked Jayce in front of Little Dog.
Does he think picking Jayce means he can win? Just watch Little Dog perform.
The Imperial fans had completely lost it. What, do you need to submit an application to the god just to play Jayce now?
I can't take it anymore. Do you need to submit an application to the god before playing any champion now?
Shockwave versus Shockwave—this guy was seriously hilarious. I'm certain he's a talent.
Of course he is. Classic quote—"Is it hard to practice Jhin for one season?"
Bro, you forgot the follow-up: "First of all, I don't play AD." Blah blah blah. "After all, I said right from the start that I don't play AD."
Pfft, hahaha! This guy was insanely bold. He probably swallowed a six-eyed flying fish whole.
At that moment, the venue and the livestream rooms were abuzz with discussion.
In the player booth, Chu Ran stared at Uzi's Caitlyn on the loading screen, the corner of his mouth curling upward. He knew Uzi would play Caitlyn.
When Uzi saw that Chu Ran had picked Jayce, the smile on his face vanished instantly. His expression darkened, and his chubby little hand gripping the mouse tightened involuntarily.
Uzi strongly suspected that Chu Ran's Jayce pick was hinting at something.
What a disgusting piece of shit!
After lightly smashing his mouse, Uzi took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset. His gaze sharpened again. As long as he won this Solo Competition, Chu Ran would become a complete clown.
Jayce's Shockwave hurt a lot, but Uzi trusted his positioning. Jayce's attack range in cannon form was only 500, while his Caitlyn had 650. He just needed to use his range advantage to kite.
650 range against 500 range.
The advantage was mine!
Amid everyone's cheers and watchful eyes, the game finished loading.
"Wow, we can now see the match officially beginning. Little Dog chose Doran's Blade and one potion as his starting items, while Easy chose a Long Sword and three potions. But personally, I don't think Jayce has much of an advantage starting this way against Caitlyn," Wawa exclaimed.
Naturally, Wawa had no idea why Chu Ran had chosen those items.
Chu Ran had no intention of buying Doran's Blade and enduring the lane against Caitlyn.
For this game, Chu Ran used a 12-18-0 mastery setup and naturally took Stormrider's Surge. He needed that mastery to approach a Caitlyn with an E Skill, and it was easy to trigger as well.
Usually, landing Jayce's QE Combo triggered it immediately.
As for runes, they were a standard AD setup: Attack damage, armor, Magic Resist, and three attack damage quints. His summoner spells were Flash and Ignite, while Caitlyn had Flash and Exhaust.
"That's pretty disgusting too, bringing Exhaust."
Chu Ran smiled faintly. As soon as he entered lane, he could only keep his distance from Caitlyn.
At level one, an unenhanced Shockwave did not have enough range. He could not touch Uzi's Caitlyn at all.
However, Uzi clearly did not intend to let Chu Ran farm so comfortably. Relying on his range advantage, he moved forward and began pressuring Chu Ran.
"What's the point of playing Jayce?"
Uzi's lips curled upward. Jayce's normal Q had only 600 range, while his basic attack range was 500. As long as Uzi maintained the right distance, Chu Ran would not be able to touch him at all.
In the blink of an eye, he poked Chu Ran's Jayce once with an Auto Attack. That was a huge win.
When the Imperial fans saw this, they collectively climaxed and erupted into delighted cheers again.
"Oh! We can see that Little Dog's control of the distance between Caitlyn and Jayce is extremely precise. Jayce's unenhanced Q Skill has only 600 range, while Caitlyn has 650. Those extra 50 units let Little Dog kite him."
"This is Little Dog's fundamentals—too strong. We can see that Player Easy is having a rough time. He can't touch the minion wave at the start and can only let Caitlyn hit level two first."
At the commentary booth, Miller lavishly praised Uzi, causing countless Imperial fans in the livestream rooms to start popping champagne.
This was the World's Number One ADC! Jian Zihao!
He was too strong. With this kind of control over distance, which AD could compare to Little Dog?
I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself. Ran Chu said his Dog Beating Staff Technique had reached mastery, so why was he getting poked like a dog himself?
The livestream rooms were in an uproar, while Abu and the others in EDG's backstage area all furrowed their brows.
"He's at a disadvantage. Once the minion wave comes over, Caitlyn can stand behind the turret and constantly chip away at Little Ran's HP."
"Why the rush? Let the bullets fly for a while. I think Chu Ran can win." Meiko had seen Chu Ran's Jayce. Although he had only watched one game, the one against Faker, he still felt that Chu Ran's QE Combo was extremely accurate.
Sure enough, the situation in the game developed exactly as Abu and the others had said.
After Uzi's Caitlyn pushed the wave over, she immediately used her absurd range to pressure Chu Ran's Jayce whenever he went in for a last hit.
Watching Jayce drink his first potion, Uzi smiled disdainfully. "That's it?"
He had already poked Jayce down to low HP, while Jayce had not touched him even once. Clearly, he had already secured a complete victory in this Solo Competition. As long as he maintained this rhythm, even if he could not get a solo kill, he would definitely take first turret or one hundred CS first.
But then, just as Chu Ran took the seventh minion, white light flashed over him and he immediately reached level two.
Uzi's expression changed. He hurriedly retreated while constantly moving left and right, his eyes fixed tightly on Jayce's casting motion as he prepared to use E to avoid the QE Combo.
"What the hell are you positioning for?"
Chu Ran's eyes narrowed. He immediately moved his mouse. With Brother Ale's Blessing, Meteor Hammer of the Wasteland, and ambidexterity, he was invincible whenever he played Jayce in Howling Abyss!
A point-blank, nearly vertical Acceleration Gate suddenly appeared before him. A blue cannonball shot toward Caitlyn like a laser, and Uzi had not even reacted yet.
Smack!
The blue cannonball struck him point-blank. Chu Ran immediately switched to hammer form and rapidly closed in on Caitlyn with the movement speed boost from Stormrider's Surge and the Acceleration Gate.
At that moment, Uzi's face was full of terror, and his lips even started muttering.
"Fuck, what the hell was that combo?!"
It was too fast. He had not reacted at all, and hurriedly aimed his E Skill at Jayce, trying to slow him while dashing away.
But Chu Ran easily dodged it. With every aspect of him enhanced, Caitlyn's skill animation looked like it was playing in slow motion. In his high-movement-speed state, a slight sidestep was enough to avoid it.
Leap of the Heavens!
He drank a potion and went straight into close-quarters combat.
Uzi's face was full of panic. He gritted his teeth and frantically drank a health potion, attacking as he moved and putting Exhaust on Jayce to reduce his damage.
Seeing this, Miller froze for an instant before crying out, his eyes widening sharply.
"My god! Player Easy's vertical gate cannon shot! His proficiency is incredibly high! Little Dog had no reaction at all. Easy used Jayce's high movement speed to dodge the E Skill and got right on top of him!"
"Little Dog put Exhaust on Jayce, but Jayce's attack damage and condition are much better than Caitlyn's. Jayce's QE Combo does far too much damage in the early game!"
At level one, Jayce's Q Skill had 55 base damage plus 100% AD scaling. With the enhancement from the gate, its damage increased by another 40%.
Starting with a Long Sword plus AD runes brought his attack damage to 90 at level two. Even after accounting for Caitlyn's armor, one QE Combo still dealt nearly 200 damage.
Caitlyn's starting HP, even with Doran's Blade's 80 HP bonus, was only around 660. One shot took nearly a third of it. No one knew what Uzi could use to fight him now.
The corner of Chu Ran's mouth lifted. He Auto Attacked at close range, then attacked again, waiting for his Ultimate Ability to come off cooldown.
Thunderous Blow knocked Caitlyn away. He switched forms, gained another speed boost, and used the moment Caitlyn was staggered to pull out of her attack range.
"Fuck!"
Red Temperature Value +123
Uzi cursed, his face turning a little redder. After that exchange, he was completely behind in HP and had also lost a summoner spell. Meanwhile, Chu Ran's Jayce still had a third potion. Once Jayce drank it, Uzi would completely lose the right to keep laning.
He could either hide behind the wave or recall to restore his condition. Neither was acceptable to the Uzi who had entered this match full of confidence.
He had actually been pressured by Chu Ran!
What the hell?
Watching the scene unfold in the game, many Imperial fans at the venue and in the livestream rooms began barking.
Fuck! What was that combo from Ran Chu? He was cheating, right?
This Ran Chu bastard really had no class. He turned on cheats because he couldn't win?
I've never seen anyone fire a cannon shot like that before, and you still say he isn't cheating?
Could the Imperial fans stop exposing how stupid you are? That was a vertical gate cannon shot. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, idiots.
As everyone knows, watching matches, liking Uzi, and having a brain—out of those three, you can only satisfy two at once.
Hahaha, holy crap, that was exaggerated. Even though vertical gate cannon shots were a real technique, using them that smoothly was not something ordinary people could do.
Who said Easy couldn't play Jayce? Say something!
What was going on? Why was the World's Number One ADC at a disadvantage?
"Holy crap!" Mouse exclaimed in EDG's backstage area. "How did he fire that Jayce cannon shot? That was insane!"
"Brother Ran is ridiculous. His Jayce is this strong? Isn't he known as the Number One Fiora on the National Server? How was his Jayce this outrageous too?"
"Tian Ye, being the Number One Fiora on the National Server doesn't mean he can't play Jayce." Ming Kai's pupils widened. Clearly, Chu Ran's play had stunned him too.
Abu nodded approvingly. Sure enough, a top laner with a different style was different. Mouse would never pull off something like that in his entire life, because he barely played Jayce at all.
"Then Little Ran's won this."
At that moment, Uzi's face grew increasingly red. He clenched his teeth. If this had not been a match, he truly would not have been able to stop himself from exploding.
Why the hell was Chu Ran's Shockwave so accurate?
He could not dodge it at all. What was he supposed to play now?
The director even gave Uzi's face a massive close-up. Suddenly, a blazing sun appeared on the big screen, stirring up another wave of chaos in the livestream rooms.
?????
Director, do you not want your job anymore? Look at what you did!
What was going on? Wasn't Uzi the one playing on stage? Why had he turned into a red-faced fat guy? Did Uzi hire a substitute?
Uzi was about to lose the Solo Competition. He prayed to the gods, but the only response he received was his own Red Temperature!
Pfft, hahaha! I'm a farmer—this is sweet potato!
No, why did the god love taking Shockwaves to the face? Was it because he was the World's Number One Shockwave, so he liked catching them?
No, absolutely not. Have you considered the possibility that the god simply couldn't dodge them?
I hereby declare that in this Shockwave showdown, Easy's Shockwave was better!
