At this very moment, all the major streaming platforms were in an uproar, and many viewers were laughing heartily.

Only the vast number of Uzi Haters stared at the screen, grinding their teeth in hatred, wishing they could rush onto the stage and pin Chu Ran's hands down.

No one could stop Uzi from winning the Solo tournament, not even Uzi himself.

These fans had already figured out how they would boast once Uzi won the Solo tournament.

Then, Chu Ran appeared out of nowhere and put Uzi at a disadvantage.

On the commentary desk, Miller, Guan Zeyuan, and Wawa were greatly surprised, their eyes filled with a hint of shock.

"Ah, another Cannon, my goodness. Just as the minion died, the cannon passed through and directly hit Little Dog hiding behind the minions!"

Seeing this, Miller exclaimed in a daze, quickly marveling, "Terrifying player Easy, his control over the minion wave and the timing of his Jayce's Shockwave is just too precise."

"Yes," Guan Zeyuan nodded with great admiration. "After getting hit by another cannon, isn't Little Dog going back to base? If he doesn't recall and gets hit again, he might be solo-killed."

At the competition booth, Uzi looked at his rapidly draining health bar, countless question marks appearing on his forehead.

Damn it!

He can hit me with that?

Ever since he realized how accurate Chu Ran's Jayce Cannon was, he no longer dared to push forward. He stayed behind the minion wave, using his range and Q skill to last hit. At the same time, he laid traps to restrict Chu Ran's Jayce's movement, looking for an opportunity to get a headshot.

Since he couldn't pressure, he would win by out-farming Chu Ran.

He refused to believe that Chu Ran could out-farm him when Jayce couldn't hit him.

Just now, to hit him with that Shockwave, Chu Ran had missed a minion.

In the current situation, Uzi directly stayed under his tower, pressed Tab, and looked at the CS counts for both sides. His head instantly buzzed.

What the hell!

How is that possible?

Uzi felt his temperature rising. How can Chu Ran's Jayce have more CS than me?

He had indeed missed a few CS, but Jayce should have missed some too.

Could Chu Ran's farming skill be even better than his?

This was unscientific!

In an instant, Uzi's face flushed with color, causing many viewers to burst into laughter.

[Sigh, sigh, sigh, how did the world's number one ADC's CS fall behind others?]

[What's going on? The God didn't get a 30 CS lead? Then this is a loss, right? For the God, not getting a 30 CS lead is considered falling behind?]

[Because the God went to the void, and the one competing now is the God's substitute, Red Temperature Jian Zihao.]

[How dare you! Who sent our God to the void? Oh, it turns out the God was in the void to begin with.]

Seeing these comments, many Uzi Haters were furious and immediately started arguing with the masses in the live stream.

[Can you Uzi Haters and antis shut up? Little Dog is just accumulating strength for a comeback. What are you barking about?]

[Exactly. Based on my understanding of Little Dog, if he doesn't get a CS lead in lane, it usually means he's about to get a kill.]

[Look at Little Dog's eyes, those are killing eyes. I see the Little Dog of the past.]

[Chu Ran haters must die!]

At the same time, Chu Ran saw Caitlyn recall and immediately pushed all the minions under her tower. He then pressed B, his mind rapidly contemplating ways to solo-kill this Caitlyn.

Caitlyn had been weakened by him just now. He had to act during the cooldown of the weakness debuff, otherwise, it would become harder to kill her later.

To kill Caitlyn, Chu Ran had to force out her E skill. That way, even if Caitlyn had Flash, Chu Ran could still Flash with her.

However, for Chu Ran, whether he could solo-kill was important, but whether he could do it stylishly was even more important.

Style was a lifelong pursuit.

Why was the "Double Zed" battle so classic and enduring, making Yue Lun complain about this damn game not being dead yet every day?

It was precisely because Faker's counter-kill was not only powerful but also very stylish.

Therefore, Chu Ran also decided to be stylish.

As the saying goes, if this match is going to be lost, I'll go up and be stylish.

But if this match is destined to be won, then it's even more important to win stylishly.

With the buffs from various traits, Chu Ran couldn't imagine any possibility of him losing. He could already think of several ways to solo-kill Caitlyn.

Chu Ran's lips curved upwards. He went back and bought another Long Sword, a pair of Boots, and a health potion.

According to the standard build, Jayce should buy Tear of the Goddess at this point and then build Muramana. However, in a Solo match, it wasn't that necessary; expanding his advantage was more important.

The Long Sword would add another 10 attack damage, and the Boots would increase his movement speed by 25, giving Chu Ran more movement speed bonuses. Moreover, Uzi had missed a wave of minions during this recall, so his economy wasn't as good as Chu Ran's.

"He should have bought two Doran's Blades and a Cauldron."

As expected, after returning to the lane, the minion wave was pushed back to the middle. Caitlyn's equipment was exactly as Chu Ran had predicted.

"Oh, both sides have recalled and are continuing the laning phase, but Easy has an extra pair of boots compared to Little Dog. Little Dog needs to be careful and absolutely cannot get hit by Jayce's Shockwave again. Here, Jayce is switching to his hammer form. What is he trying to do?"

"Little Dog here has a headshot saved up. He's standing behind the minion wave, pushing forward, trying to use his headshot to pressure Easy."

Miller's words had barely faded when Chu Ran immediately activated Leap of the Heavens.

He instantly leaped onto a minion, closing in on Caitlyn. Uzi's expression changed drastically. He quickly used his E skill to leap backward, simultaneously firing a W behind Jayce in mid-air.

Caitlyn's strongest combo: placing a trap during her E. If executed well, she could save a headshot, then AE, Flash, W, AA, QR, unleashing three headshots in an instant.

Of course, this combo was incredibly difficult. So, when Uzi pulled it off, all the Uzi Haters collectively lost their minds. Even Miller and the others were astonished.

"My goodness! Little Dog's Caitlyn placing a trap during her E was so fluid! It completely caught Easy off guard. But unfortunately, Easy switched to his cannon form."

"Another perfectly aimed cannonball hit Little Dog again. The massive movement speed boost only allowed Little Dog to land two headshots, but it doesn't feel like a loss. The damage from two headshots plus a Q skill is higher than Jayce's cannonball damage!"

"I feel like Easy is getting anxious. He wants to solo kill Little Dog as quickly as possible to end this Solo match. It's just a shame, Little Dog is an old veteran, very experienced. And Little Dog's forward aggression just now was to bait Easy."

"Miller is absolutely right," Guan Zeyuan agreed, nodding. "But Little Dog's control over the distance is too good, so Easy's Leap of the Heavens couldn't hit Caitlyn herself."

"Wow!" Wawa exclaimed immediately. "Little Dog's laning capability is still unquestionable."

At this moment, countless Uzi Haters in the audience cheered. Uzi, at the player's booth, curled his lips upwards, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

To solo him, Chu Ran was still too green.

Who was he?

He was the world's number one ADC, Jian Zihao.

Someone who could match, or even suppress, famous AD players on the lane.

Inside EDG's backstage lounge.

Abu frowned and suddenly slapped Ming Kai's thigh, causing Ming Kai to grimace, his dead fish eyes rolling outward as he glared at Abu.

"It's bad, Xiao Ran is getting anxious. He just needed to keep using his combo to find an opening to pressure!"

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious first. Can you stop slapping my thigh?" Ming Kai was speechless. Thankfully, Abu was the coach; otherwise, he'd make him try out his Muay Thai and his 'Depressed Saber Technique.'

"I think this wave was a mistake. The trade was clearly a loss," Deft frowned, his soft voice carrying a hint of worry.

Pawn, sitting beside him, joked, "Hyeokkyu, can you pull off that Caitlyn combo?"

Deft rolled his eyes, not bothering to reply to Pawn, and continued to stare at the big screen.

At this moment, Mosue also spoke up, "I feel like after this wave, the advantage is gone. Caitlyn's long-range advantage is showing again. She just needs to stand behind the minions and auto-attack."

Just as everyone thought Uzi was about to turn the tables, Chu Ran appeared relaxed, his eyes fixed on his ultimate's cooldown.

Jayce's ultimate cooldown was 6 seconds. Even if the ultimate was leveled up to 4, it would still be six seconds.

His Q skill, Spark Surge, and Leap of the Heavens were both 16 seconds at level one. But at level two, the cooldown was 14 seconds. Caitlyn's E skill was also 16 seconds at level one.

Both sides were currently level four. From a normal person's perspective, a Caitlyn wouldn't learn E twice. But Chu Ran had put two points into Q.

Those two seconds of cooldown difference were enough to do many things.

"Oh, I can see that Easy is having a tough time right now. Conversely, Little Dog has become aggressive again. I have to say, it really is Little Dog."

Just as Miller was saying this, a sudden change occurred on the field. His eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Ah, wait, what is Easy trying to do!"

Instantly, countless viewers focused their attention. Chu Ran, as soon as his ultimate was off cooldown again, immediately switched from cannon form back to hammer form. With the passive movement speed bonus of 40 plus the 25 from boots, he was incredibly fast.

At this moment, his Jayce was like he was wearing "Zulily" shoes, moving with incredible speed.

Uzi's pupils constricted sharply. He quickly retreated, his brain momentarily freezing.

His own E skill wasn't even off cooldown yet. What was Chu Ran's Jayce doing charging at him?

Could it be that he still wanted to solo kill him?

But just as he was wondering, a flash of golden light instantly appeared beside his Caitlyn.

Uzi's first thought was to save his Flash. His health was still quite good. That last cannonball from Jayce had dealt him over 200 damage, nearly a third of his health. He immediately popped a potion. Jayce had no skills. If he used E, it would just be faster to get him to the safety of the tower.

By the time Jayce's skills were off cooldown, his E would also be off cooldown. Then, whether it was kiting or counter-attacking, it would be foolproof.

He felt that Chu Ran was very anxious now. Because if they continued to stall like this, he would win by farming.

He would even be chased under the tower, at which point he could counter-kill.

Suddenly, Guan Zeyuan exclaimed, "Oh! Easy is very anxious here, he directly flashed forward! Using the high movement speed to approach Little Dog. My goodness! He's going straight for the ignite! Thunderous Blow activated Stormrider's Surge, but this actually sent Little Dog into the tower! What is Easy doing? He's chasing into the tower! And he's even drawing minion aggro! Has Easy lost his mind?"

"The Hammer form's Lightning Field is continuously burning, Caitlyn's health is dropping rapidly, but Little Dog isn't panicking. He's kiting under the defense tower, and he's also placing a trap to block Easy's retreat path. It's over!"

"Then we can congratulate Little Dog!"

Seeing this, Uzi felt a surge of joy, his mouth splitting into a wide grin. Many Uzi Haters were already cheering, while Abu and the others shook their heads in dismay.

But then, a sudden turn of events occurred.

Chu Ran saw that his Leap of the Heavens was off cooldown. He immediately leaped onto a minion behind him, jumping over the trap. With only a few dozen health points left, he exited the tower and quickly switched to cannon form.

With a flick of his mouse, he sharply turned back, like a fadeaway jump shot.

Shockwave!

The blue cannonball flew directly towards Uzi like a deadly particle ball. Uzi's expression changed drastically, countless question marks popping into his mind in that instant. Seeing that his E skill was still on cooldown, he quickly used Flash.

It was just a Flash into a cannonball.

Bang!

The massive cannonball landed precisely on him, and also on everyone's heart.

A moment later, combined with the ignite damage, an incredibly shocking voice announcement echoed throughout the entire venue.

"EDG-Easy has killed RNG-Uzi!"

"First blood!"

At this moment, countless viewers were stunned by Chu Ran's play. The first blood announcement frantically stimulated their eardrums, leaving them all dumbfounded. The scene and the live stream immediately erupted into a massive uproar!
