Your Sword Immortal Title Is Not Recognized by Me.

Cheers and shouts filled the air, ceaseless.

Inside the Shanghai Zhengtai Plaza, countless EDG fans were roaring at the top of their lungs, the sound waves seeming to threaten to blow the entire venue apart.

For them, after losing the first game and being taunted by many Imperial杂 and LGD fans, they had now delivered a resounding slap to the face.

Nothing felt better than this.

The moment the screen froze, the live stream's popularity exploded, and trending topics flooded the entire internet, most of them discussing Chu Ran's Camille this game.

Today, Chu Ran's Camille had truly taught the LPL a lesson, shaking them to their core.

On the LPL commentary stage.

Miller and Guan Zeyuan's faces were filled with astonishment; clearly, they hadn't expected the match to end this way.

"Congratulations to EDG! After falling behind 0-1, they brought in Easy, who successfully helped them tie the score. Easy's Camille this game truly surprised us, and we look forward to his excellent performance in the third match."

"That's right, congratulations to EDG."

Miller nodded in agreement with Guan Zeyuan's words. Uzi, standing beside them, had a grim expression and reluctantly spat out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Congratulations to EDG. I hope LGD can adjust their state and perform well in the third game."

Uzi forced a smile at the camera, adding internally, "I hope Jinoo can force Chu Ran into retirement."

Was he here to commentate this match for this?

He was here to see Chu Ran get crushed, not to see Chu Ran dominate the entire field!

Looking at the scoreboard that appeared before him, and seeing Imp's Sivir's damage, Uzi frowned, unable to help but complain inwardly.

"If I were playing, my damage would probably be twice as high as Imp's. As expected, ADCs still depend on themselves. What champion skin owner? Just an ancient champion, no real prestige."

Thinking of this, Uzi's face suddenly showed a hint of confidence.

This year, he was aiming for the Bird's Nest!

He would definitely win the championship!

The MVP for this match was, as expected, awarded to Chu Ran's Camille, with no controversy.

KDA: 6-0-7

Damage: 26475

Damage Share: 27.6%

Damage Conversion: 176.3%

Seeing these stats, many viewers were slightly shocked. Was this the kind of data someone playing top lane for EDG could achieve?

The bullet comments rolled by again, scrolling rapidly.

[This is just ridiculousness opening the door for more ridiculousness, ridiculously extreme.]

[A bit terrifying, this guy, isn't he actually hacking?]

[A little hack is not a hack!]

[Sword Immortal? This level? Even the Sword Immortal in the sky, with millions of followers, would bow his head in humility before this guy.]

[I feel like Ah Guang can pack his bags tonight. EDG has no place for him anymore.]

[Mouse: I should be under the car, not here.]

[RNG truly has eyes but cannot see, letting go of an SSR.]

[What do you call this? Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't bully the poor young man.]

[RNG probably thought this guy would bully the poor old man, but it turns out this guy is like a returning dragon king, an esports Xiao Yan, right?]

[Today you RNG treated me with indifference, but tomorrow I will make you unable to reach me.]

Of course, these comments also drew criticism from LGD fans and Imperial fans, with heated discussions erupting in the live stream and across all forums.

[Stop shouting, you pig fans, isn't there still one more game?]

[Does anyone actually think EDG can come back from 0-1 to win 2-1? Seriously, does anyone think that?]

[LGD was just not in good condition just now. Letting EDG take one game, I'm afraid you'll cry if they beat you 2-0.]

At the competition booth, Chu Ran looked at his stats and smiled with satisfaction. He was quite pleased; it seemed his pre-game drink hadn't been in vain.

"Brother Ran, you're too fierce. You're my idol from now on," Meiko said, giving Chu Ran a thumbs-up. He hadn't even exerted much effort this game, and they had already won.

Hearing this, Chu Ran chuckled, "Don't call me an idol. I'm afraid you'll go to another team and crush me later."

"Haha, but you really played well," Deft said, slinging an arm around Chu Ran's shoulder as they walked towards the backstage, his face beaming. "Your Brother Yuan Shuo isn't even out of breath playing with you anymore, his back doesn't hurt, and he can play ten BO1s in a row!"

"Did you take six-flavor rehmannia pills, seumidà?"

"No, your Brother Yuan Shuo just needs to lie down."

Deft's comment made Pawn roll his eyes and curse with a laugh.

When Chu Ran and the others returned backstage, praises from Abu, Ming Kai, Nofe, and others poured in. Only Mouse sat on the sofa, staring blankly. Seeing Abu's enthusiastic reception of Chu Ran, Mouse sighed deeply in his heart.

He had been in EDG for so long, but in the end, he had been mistaken.

Mouse understood that he likely wouldn't get another chance to start as the top laner.

EDG wasn't a charity; they'd obviously put the player who could help the team win and was stronger on the field. There was no room for sentimentality after spending so much time with a teammate. Esports was just that brutal.

If a player wasn't good enough, they had to step aside and let someone who was take their place.

It was clear Chu Ran was that person. While his style didn't quite fit EDG's previous identity, Chu Ran could also play tanks if needed.

"Forget it, I'll just stream with Tong Yang during the offseason until I retire," Mouse said, staring blankly at the ceiling, nearly shedding tears.

If only Guang existed, why must Ran also exist?

What a sin!

"Just average, third in the world. Anyone with hands can play Camille," Chu Ran said dismissively, modestly accepting the praise. Ming Kai and the others just shook their heads, pointing at Chu Ran with a speechless expression.

He acts so humble after a few compliments. Does that mean everyone else here doesn't have hands?

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the LGD backstage lounge.

Jinoo slumped onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. His current state was exactly the same as Zz1tai's had been.

Boasting before the match, silent after.

He wanted to be known as the "Sword Immortal," but instead, he'd been beaten so badly he didn't know who he was.

"It's my fault. I didn't know he could play Camille, let alone with such proficiency. There was just too little information on him."

Heart blamed himself for the loss. For a rookie like Chu Ran, no club had gone to great lengths to research him.

As a result, they'd been taught a harsh lesson and were now more cautious.

"Heh heh, what's wrong?" Ping Ye Ling asked Imp, who also looked utterly dejected.

Imp's lips twitched. "Don't bother me, I'm thinking."

A moment later, Imp slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I get it! Just pull the plug on the bathtub."

"..."

For a moment, Godv and the others almost fell to the ground.

"I thought you were actually thinking about something, Pupu. You have no thoughts about losing this game at all?" Eimy clicked his tongue, sighing that Imp was indeed mentally unstable.

Imp shrugged indifferently. "I lost the game, but I didn't lose. I killed Deft in lane."

"That was me ganking," Eimy raised his hand, but Imp grabbed his wrist and pulled it down. "Did I kill him or not?"

Hearing Imp's words, the somber atmosphere of losing the match dissipated considerably.

"Enough talk, we'll definitely win the next game. Let's go, Chen You!"

Jinoo flexed his fingers, confidently declaring, "If he doesn't pick Camille, I'll guarantee a kill."

The break passed in the blink of an eye, and the third match began. The audience at the venue and in the live stream chat were all focused.

The side order was reversed, and EDG was on the red side this time.

Guan Zeyuan's voice boomed from the commentary booth, "Alright, welcome back. We're now entering the third match between EDG and LGD. We'll have to wait and see who emerges victorious. Let's jump straight into the BP."

On the player seats, the first three picks and bans for both sides were quickly revealed.

LGD: Rumble, Nautilus, Poppy.

EDG: Alistar, Kha'Zix, Rengar.

"Huh? Neither side is banning Camille. What's the meaning of this?" Guan Zeyuan's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Uzi's eyes immediately lit up. If LGD got Camille, wouldn't they be guaranteed a win?

Then LGD would take the series 2-1, and he'd write a little post on Weibo. If EDG wasn't flamed to oblivion, he'd consider it a loss.

"Does Easy have a champion that counters Camille? I believe everyone saw the stats and mechanics of Camille last game. It makes no sense to let her through, especially since EDG isn't on the blue side this game," Uzi chuckled.

Miller also looked a bit surprised. "So LGD picks Camille first. EDG... oh! They've locked in Fiora immediately. Did Easy let her through intentionally? What's the meaning of this? Is he going to teach them a lesson with a counter-pick?"

When Chu Ran picked Fiora as the first pick, the audience at the venue and in the live stream chat were a little surprised, with cheers and jeers erupting.

[This is ridiculous, that Ran Chu brat is such a show-off!]

[Does he think he beat Jinoo last game because he's better than him? He just rode the meta hero's advantage.]

[I've watched so many games, and I've never seen a player as arrogant as Ran Chu.]

[Sigh, you Imperial Zs are finally seeing it now.]

[If you win, why wouldn't you show off? When you lose?]

[Exactly, should he be biting his hands like your Zaozi Ge when he loses?]

On the player seats, seeing Chu Ran lock in Fiora, Jinoo's eyes narrowed. "Damn it, he doesn't take me seriously at all."

"This Ran Chu brat is so arrogant, I have to put some pressure on him this game," Eimy clicked his tongue and added, "I'm going to get serious this game."

Eimy's words amused Godv. "Danzi, just focus on clearing your jungle first. Don't get a kill stolen again when you're low health."

"Chief, you don't know, Danzi is famous now. You know LPL's Yue Lun? As long as this game isn't over, his Kha'Zix is probably nailed to the pillar of shame," Ping Ye Ling said with a laugh, almost making Eimy blush.

The team compositions were quickly finalized.

LGD on the blue side: Camille top, Lee Sin jungle, Orianna mid, Jhin and Braum bot.

EDG on the red side: Fiora top, Elise jungle, Viktor mid, Caitlyn and Thresh bot.

After the lineups were set, Uzi on the commentary desk immediately began analyzing them.

"Hmm, I think both lineups are decent, but not banning Camille and then picking Fiora to counter her... I can only give that a zero. It's a completely insane move. If Camille gets ahead this game, Caitlyn's ability to output damage will become a serious problem."

"Even though Easy's Fiora proficiency is quite good, we saw the matchup between Camille and Fiora last game. Camille completely counters Fiora."

"Yeah, Little Dog is right. We can't quite figure out what Easy is thinking. We can only hope for his performance this game," Guan Zeyuan agreed, causing a frenzy in the live broadcast chat.

Let alone him, even Nofe and Abu were baffled.

Behind the scenes at EDG, Abu was confused, "Why did they leave Camille open?"

"He insisted on picking it, and I couldn't stop him," Nofe said with some helplessness. "He said he could handle it."

"You're the coach!"

"It's already picked, so let's not question it for now. We have to trust him," Abu replied.

Hearing Ming Kai's words, Abu could only reluctantly suppress his doubts. Meanwhile, Mouse's little thoughts began to stir again.

Could it be... he still has a chance?

The dead heart suddenly began to beat!

The Summoner's Rift unfolded before everyone's eyes. Neither side made significant moves at level one, adopting a single-file formation.

At the LGD player's booth, Jinoo held his breath, "You guys watch my show this game, sibal."

"Alright, I'm watching, Dan."

At one minute and forty seconds, as the top lane minion wave converged, the first vulnerability spawned to Camille's upper left. Seeing this, Chu Ran didn't hesitate and pressed forward aggressively against Jinoo.

Jinoo's eyes lit up. He remembered Chu Ran's strategy with Camille against his Fiora in the last game. He just needed to wait for Fiora to Q the vulnerability...

Huh?

Wait, why aren't you Q-ing?

Seeing Chu Ran's Fiora walk directly forward, holding his Q, Jinoo pursed his lips and cast a Tactical Sweep forward.

Piercing Strike.

Just as Tactical Sweep was about to land, he used Piercing Strike to dash to the side, dodging it completely. It only hit three of the red side's melee minions.

Jinoo was stunned for a moment.

Booom!

Fiora used Q to close the distance. His W missed. Against a Fiora with a broken vulnerability and the fervor of war at level one, his Lee Sin was no match.

A moment later, when the director switched the camera to the top lane, it immediately drew a few gasps.

"Ah, top lane! What's going on with Jinoo this wave? How is his health already so low at the start?"

"What happened? Did they trade so fiercely at level one?"

Miller and Guan Zeyuan were dumbfounded.

It was only the first minion wave, and Lee Sin was already below half health and had used his potion. Uzi was somewhat wide-eyed.

What the hell, is Jinoo this bad?

He's not here to commentate on this.

Should have just stayed in the club.

Jinoo's expression turned grim. He felt immense pressure in the laning phase, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Having been crippled at level one, he lost the minion wave and could only hide behind it, soaking up experience and waiting for the wave to reach his tower.

"What are you trying to do? Ashi-bal."

Watching Chu Ran's Fiora's movements, Jinoo's expression showed a hint of panic. Was he going to dive him at level three?

Does he not consider me human at all?

Looking at the trembling Lee Sin at level two under his tower, Chu Ran walked directly into the tower's range. AE1A, two auto-attacks appeared, and the sound of the vulnerability shattering was clear.

Caught off guard by the aggressive play, seeing his health plummet, Jinoo panicked. But he also knew it was a good opportunity. Tactical Sweep appeared from Lee Sin's long legs. He used the first part of E to hook the wall, extending the range of Tactical Sweep, hanging on the wall to ensure the outer edge could hit Fiora, while also creating distance.

In a flash, Chu Ran immediately used Piercing Strike forward, closing the distance with Lee Sin again.

Jinoo's pupils dilated. He knew he had to retreat. Fiora had her W ready. If he used his E2 to kick back, not only would it fail to stun, but it would also seal his fate.

However, as he used E2 to retreat, Fiora simultaneously flashed.

Laurent's Riposte!

"Sibal!"

Jinoo's face instantly turned pale.

He flashed W and actively dashed into my E2?

Can Fiora even play like that?

Damn it!

After being CC'd by Laurent's Riposte, he not only took damage again, but Camille's E2 also triggered, dealing a guaranteed critical hit. One strike directly severed his main artery.

After recovering from the stun, Jinoo, his face pale, quickly used Flash. However, at this critical moment, Chu Ran's Camille's blade was like a scythe of death, striking out fiercely.

With a bang!

Camille stumbled, her long legs immediately snapping. Her Flash became a "Flash to the grave."

"EDG-Easy has killed LGD-Jinoo!"

"First blood!"

The unexpected First Blood announcement echoed throughout the arena, leaving everyone in a daze!

Chu Ran looked at Camille's corpse, his words filled with arrogance, "Sword Immortal? I don't acknowledge that."
