So handsome?
In an instant, countless viewers could hardly believe their eyes, and many Royal Bastards found it even harder to accept.
Uzi had actually been solo killed by Chu Ran?
And he had done it while barely surviving the tower, finishing him off with a final Fadeaway Jump Shot?
At the commentary booth, Miller widened his eyes, his face filled with shock as he roared, "My god! Player Easy's Jayce! He gave all of us a stylish Fadeaway Jump Shot, predicting Caitlyn's Flash and directly completing a solo kill over Little Dog in the matchup!"
"Yes, it's a little unbelievable. Player Easy played with incredible precision. His Jayce had Q at level two. As everyone knows, the skill cooldowns for Jayce's two forms run on the same cycle, but they don't share cooldowns, making them equivalent to two independent systems."
Guan Zeyuan's expression was full of amazement as he continued his analysis. "And Player Easy made use of precisely that. His level-two Q had a shorter cooldown than Caitlyn's level-one E. He launched his attack during that gap and completed a solo kill!"
"And he could have killed him much more easily. He could have simply waited for Leap of the Heavens to come off cooldown, sped up, and jumped right onto him. But Player Easy deliberately gave us a flashy play—a Fadeaway Jump Shot Jayce."
Gasp in cold air—!
After hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, Wawa and countless viewers involuntarily gasped in cold air.
"Wawa! Wawa! Wawa! Is Player Easy really this strong? It looks like we all misjudged him."
As soon as those words fell, Miller and the others felt somewhat embarrassed. Before the match, they had been certain Uzi would win. They had even congratulated Uzi in advance just moments ago.
Then the two extremes reversed.
Who could have expected this?
But facts were facts. It seemed they had no choice but to accept them.
"Then let us congratulate Player Easy. Give him a round of applause, and thank him for bringing us such an incredible Solo Competition."
In an instant, the Royal Bastards at the venue fell silent one after another, while the Bullet Comments in the livestream room rolled by like a tidal wave.
666666!
Turtle turtle, so handsome, huh? A Fadeaway Jump Shot? You trying to be Kobe?
Awesome! And you call this guy a rookie? Did RNG just let a promising top laner slip away?
Royal Bastards! Say something! Why aren't you talking? Don't you have keyboards?
What's going on? How did the World's Number One ADC get solo killed? Wasn't he supposed to be amazing?
World's Number One ADC? World's Number One CJB!
So the question is, who exactly is the World's Number One Shockwave now?
No, why is Uzi so red? Shouldn't he hurry up and take a shower to cool down?
Seeing these Bullet Comments, countless Royal Bastards clenched their fists in fury, their faces as red as Uzi's. No matter what, they had never expected Little Dog, in whom they had placed such high hopes, to fall in the first match of the All-Star Solo Competition—and then get mocked to his face by so many people.
But even so, their mouths remained stubborn.
What are you yelling for? Is it strange for a Warrior Top Laner to solo kill an ADC?
True enough, that Ran Chu bastard really has no professional sportsmanship at all. It was supposed to be an entertainment match, yet he picked Jayce. Who was he trying to disgust?
My Little Dog came here with the mentality that participation came first, but then he ran into someone like Ran Chu. Trying so hard to prove himself in a Solo Competition—what kind of person is that?
What a joke. Does some rookie seriously think a Solo Competition championship even deserves to be called a championship?
Yeah, yeah, you Royal Bastards get to say all the good and bad things. You really are Zhu Bajie looking in a mirror—neither human inside nor out!
Hahaha, an old granny climbing into an old man's bed in late night—this is making me laugh my ass off.
Isn't Cao Pi's father-in-law taking three showers a day? Can Zhen Ji's Father wash?
At this moment, livestream rooms across every major platform exploded, including Wu Zai's livestream room.
The instant he saw Uzi's Caitlyn get killed, he immediately let out an earth-shaking roar in the livestream room.
"Holy crap! Shockwave killed the World's Number One Shockwave! Player Easy, what are you doing? You're committing a crime! You actually dared to covet the title of World's Number One Shockwave."
"But congratulations, you succeeded. Your Shockwave has earned my recognition. Personally, I'm willing to acknowledge you as the Number One Shockwave."
In an instant, Wu Zai's livestream room went completely black.
The current streamer has violated regulations and is undergoing rectification.
At this moment, the Royal Bastards went insane. Anyone who dared discuss Uzi's loss in the Solo Competition had their livestream room reported, and in more serious cases, they would be directly de-nationalized.
Meanwhile, backstage at EDG.
Abu and the others' bodies trembled as they stared in astonishment.
"H-He won?"
"Awesome, Little Ran."
"He played even dirtier than me?" Ming Kai clicked his tongue and sighed.
At the player booth, Chu Ran took off his headset. The cheers for him at the venue were noticeably louder than when he had first appeared.
When he walked over to Uzi, he found him staring tightly at the computer screen, his face flushed bright red, completely unable to accept the reality before him.
He had lost.
He had actually lost!
If it hadn't been for courtesy, he wouldn't even have wanted to shake Chu Ran's hand.
"Holy crap, Uzi, have you been practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill? Why are your hands so sweaty—and so hot?"
Red Temperature Value +250
Red Temperature Value +250
Your damn mother!
Uzi's face darkened as he clenched his fists tightly. If he really knew the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the first thing he would do would be beat Chu Ran to death.
Seeing Uzi like this, Chu Ran shrugged his shoulders and immediately returned to the EDG backstage area.
The moment he returned, he was met with an endless stream of praise.
"Brother Ran, that was freaking handsome! Your Jayce play was absolutely insane—cool as hell! You straight-up made Uzi go red."
Hearing Meiko's words, Chu Ran smiled. "This is the effect of V me 50 yuan before the match. The moment I got those 50 bucks, I felt the sleeping beast inside me awaken. I was strong as hell on the stage. Kai Ge, do you believe me now?"
Ming Kai glanced at Chu Ran and rolled his eyes. "Uzi was just too bad. I'm not buying that crap."
"True." Chu Ran nodded. "He was pretty bad. He should go home and raise pigs instead of playing professionally."
Pfft—
Chu Ran's words immediately made Abu and the others burst out laughing, while Ming Kai had already clenched his fists.
You little bastard, daring to make fun of me? One Muay Thai warning.
Deft hurried over and patted Chu Ran on the shoulder. "Watch out for Kai Ge's Muay Thai. But it's fine—Brother Hekui has got you covered."
"You just spoil him. He's making fun of me now; before long, he might dare to make fun of anyone. Right, Chicken Fu—Abu, Ji Xing?"
Damn it!
The smile on Abu's face instantly vanished. He wanted nothing more than to skin Ming Kai alive.
He had two sore spots. The first was that no one could say he looked like a woman or call him Dead Sister Bu. The second was that no one could call him Chicken Fu.
Fortunately, he knew it was just a joke. Abu waved it off without dwelling on it. Chu Ran defeating Uzi had made him very happy, especially with that outstanding Jayce performance.
Hadn't he brought Chu Ran to EDG as a top laner precisely because he wanted a style different from Mouse's? Chu Ran's performance today had satisfied him greatly. At the very least, it proved that he had good judgment.
Everyone was having a great time, except Scout, whose face remained expressionless. He couldn't help wondering whether, if he played alongside Chu Ran in the future, resources would be funneled toward top lane instead of mid lane. That left him somewhat unhappy.
As for Mouse, his sense of crisis was through the roof. If such a flashy top laner performed better than him in future matches, would he end up following in Tong Yang's footsteps?
A moment later, as Chu Ran defeated one opponent after another and claimed the Solo Competition championship, the Royal Bastards collectively had their defenses broken.
Inside RNG's backstage lounge.
Seeing that something was clearly off with Uzi's expression, Xiao Hu immediately stopped joking around with Xiao Ming and the others, his face turning serious. "Taking a Solo Competition this seriously is kind of disgusting."
Who would have thought that Uzi's expression would not ease after hearing that? He directly locked onto Xiao Hu's thigh with his fist and angrily slammed it down.
"Ah—!"
Xiao Hu let out a miserable cry, widening his eyes as he stared at Uzi.
This Lord fucking agreed with you, and you still fucking hit me?
Your damn fist has auto-aim or something?
News of Chu Ran winning the Solo Competition championship spread across the internet without prompting, sending countless Uzi Haters into a frenzy. As long as the Royal Bastards were unhappy, they were thrilled.
After the Solo Competition ended, during the break, Chu Ran received an invitation from the beautiful host Yu Shuang.
Looking at Yu Shuang, Chu Ran couldn't help laughing.
"Player Easy, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing. I just thought of something funny."
Chu Ran hurriedly waved his hands. He had thought of how, in the future, a whole bunch of people on Anti-Bar would joke about many people giving old lady Yu Shuang a soft snort, and he nearly couldn't hold it in.
At this moment, many people were still lingering in the livestream room because it was the halftime interview segment. But most of them weren't interested in interviews. Who watched a match just to watch the interviews?
"Hello, everyone in the livestream room." The interview officially began, with Yu Shuang and Chu Ran appearing on camera. "We're very fortunate to have invited EDG's Player Easy for an interview after the Solo Competition. He performed brilliantly in today's Solo Competition and directly claimed the championship. Player Easy, please say hello to everyone first."
Chu Ran was not at all nervous. He waved and said, "Hello, everyone. I'm Easy, EDG's top lane player."
At the same time, his mind was deep in thought. Most viewers were watching the livestream now—this was a great opportunity for him to earn Red Temperature Value.
After solo killing Uzi, he had made a huge haul of Red Temperature Value. It had to be said that the Royal Bastards, much like Uzi himself, were easily heated up.
In the livestream room, the bullet comments began scrolling as soon as Chu Ran appeared.
This guy is actually pretty handsome. Feels like Scout has competition now.
Probably not. Mom fans might like both of them.
That's called broad-minded love!
Did I come here to watch this? Bring out your spicy lines! There are tons of spicy lines on Weibo—why are there no good bits in the interview?
If there are no good bits here, I suggest biting a lighter.
Bro, don't tell me you're scared of Uzi. He's the runner-up, and you're the champion. What the hell are you scared of?
See You at the Grand Finals!
Seeing that Chu Ran did not say anything else, Yu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. As an LPL host, she knew about the recent Weibo trending topics and had looked into Chu Ran's background. To be honest, when she had first been assigned to interview him, Yu Shuang had felt rather uneasy.
Who knew whether Chu Ran would say something shocking and get her swarmed by Royal Bastards? Those Royal Bastards would not care whether Yu Shuang had asked the question deliberately.
They would only think—what were your intentions? Out of all the questions you could have asked, you just had to hand Chu Ran that topic. No need to say anything else, charge!
Yu Shuang was terrified of getting flamed to pieces.
"First of all, congratulations to Player Easy for winning this year's All-Star Game Solo Competition championship. Especially in your match against Uzi, you delivered some incredibly exciting plays. Backstage, we all saw you predict Caitlyn's Flash for that final Fadeaway Jump Shot combo and secure the Solo Kill. We're all very curious—what were you thinking at the time? Why did you think Uzi would Flash in the direction you expected?"
Faced with Yu Shuang's question, Chu Ran pondered for a moment. Then he smiled at the camera and slowly spoke.
"Mm, actually, I didn't think too much about it. I just went with it. Mainly, Uzi used Flash well. During lane phase, he also liked eating my Shockwaves."
"Maybe... that's what they call the Innate Shockwave Saint Body. That's why my aim seemed so accurate."
