At this moment, Meiko and the others were a little stunned, with golden question marks appearing continuously in the top lane.
"Ran Ge, you..."
"Little Ran is awesome, da~" Pawn and Deft praised him together. They were still in their lanes, and Chu Ran had already gotten a solo kill?
On LGD's side, Jinoo seemed a bit out of it. Even though Eimy's angry shouts echoed in his ears, he was completely oblivious.
"What the hell are you doing? Chen You, putting on a show for me? Hmm, I see it. You got dove and killed at level two, and this Fiora still isn't dead."
Eimy was a bit helpless. He was still farming, and the top lane had died.
The main issue was that if your top laner died, they died. The Spider started at their own F6. With Camille's death, who would help him guard his top side jungle? Fiora TP'd back to lane to continue pressuring, while Camille could only farm.
Looking at the mid lane, Godv was barely holding his own. He definitely wouldn't have any jungle support soon.
He... was blown up!
At this very moment, the bullet comments in the LPL live broadcast room were flying everywhere.
[Holy crap! Who said Camille counters Fiora? How did Camille get solo killed by Fiora at level three?]
[Haters! Speak up! They say Easy benefited from the meta? If you, Jinoo, were playing Camille, you wouldn't be able to beat me either!]
[Is this guy really washing his hair with Pantene? Playing so confidently?]
[LOL, this is gonna slap the faces of the shower dog and the Huang fans.**]
[Hero counter? NO! Player skill difference!]
Seeing Jinoo's Camille solo killed at the start, countless Huang fans and LGD fans who had been expecting Jinoo's Camille to smash Chu Ran's head were completely speechless.
[Are you kidding me, Jinoo, are you an actor? You can't even beat a former RNG benchwarmer top laner?]
[What kind of trash top laners did LGD invite? I don't even know why they let Mrain go.**]
[Sword Immortal? I'll sword your head! How much did Pan Jie pay you to throw this game? You're making a fortune off this hype!]
[If LGD loses this game today, Pan Jie will book a five-star hotel, and no one will dare to touch their chopsticks if Jinoo isn't at the table.**]
[Investigate thoroughly! Must investigate!]
[LOL, Huang fans are classic actors.**]
[They just refuse to admit that Easy is better than Jinoo.**]
The bullet comments in the live broadcast room erupted in a clamor.
In EDG's backstage, Abu and the others were stunned, then started clapping and cheering.
As for Mouse...
His eyes were vacant. The excitement he had just felt... was completely dead.
Jinoo's biggest contribution in this game was showcasing Chu Ran's value.
If Zz1tai had allowed Chu Ran to make his debut in the LPL, then this game today would undoubtedly make him famous.
On the LPL commentary stage, Miller and Guan Zeyuan both shivered and looked at each other. It was clear that this situation had surprised them.
"This Easy player is playing so well, it's unbelievable. Jinoo's Camille was directly zoned and killed. It seems like it's not a problem with the champion, but with the player."
As Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, Miller felt the air around him become tense. He glanced to the side and saw a small, chubby man blushing and biting his fingers.
"Oh! Here, Camille and Fiora both TP'd back to lane, and the minion wave pushed back! Jinoo's Camille used her E skill to dash, deliberately missing, trying to bait out Fiora's W!"
"However, Easy predicted the position of Camille's second dash and QW! Counter-engage!"
Hiss—!
Witnessing this, Miller, Guan Zeyuan, and many viewers all gasped.
So Fiora could play against Camille like this?
In this case, it wasn't Camille countering Fiora, but rather Fiora countering Camille.
Seeing himself CC'd again, Jinoo was somewhat dumbfounded, his face looking miserable.
AE1A landed two auto-attacks in quick succession. Camille's vital point on the upper right shattered, granting her a speed boost. Even though Camille used Q1 to gain speed and retreat, Chu Ran could still pursue.
He closed the distance, and at this point, Camille's W, Tactician's Reprisal, was almost useless.
Jinoo gritted his teeth, a chill running down his spine. He quickly retreated, but without Flash or his E skill, he had no chance of escaping Chu Ran's Fiora.
Moreover, Chu Ran's Fiora could break vital points for a speed boost!
"It's over! Jinoo's Camille! It looks like he's going to be solo killed again!"
Following Miller's exclamation, in the top lane's game screen, Chu Ran's Fiora skillfully took down Camille's head under the tower and then swaggered away.
Judging by the remaining health, it was as if his health had been locked, like he had used a cheat.
HP: 23
Fiora's health bar was displayed prominently before everyone's eyes, leaving them dumbfounded. The venue and the live broadcast room once again erupted in heated discussion.
"Solo kill! Another solo kill! Is this Easy? Even Jinoo, known as the Sword Immortal, is nothing before him."
"Yes, your Sword Immortal title doesn't earn my approval, Easy. A terrifying rookie top laner, a treasure EDG dug up from somewhere."
Hearing Miller's words, Guan Zeyuan gave him a look.
Where else could it be from?
RNG.
Seeing Chu Ran solo kill again, Uzi's chubby face turned even redder. He quickly took out his phone and deleted the Weibo post he had made earlier, afraid of getting hit by a boomerang after the match. Little did he know that Chu Ran had already screenshotted and saved it, and recorded his actions in his notes.
"Ah—Xiba!"
At LGD's player booth, Jinoo let out a hysterical, pig-slaughtering scream.
"Chen You, I'm really your dad, are we going to have a jungler gap?" Eimy and the others were stunned.
Their lanes were locked in a fierce battle, but the top lane was reporting victories one after another.
What was the point of playing this game?
"Why don't we just call it at 20 points?" Pingye Ling said, leading the charge, then shaking his head vigorously. Their bottom lane couldn't break through. They had been counting on the top lane to carry against EDG. Because Chu Ran was a rookie, and Chu Ran had instigated them on stream, they had targeted LGD.
It was killing two birds with one stone. The result was that Chu Ran had slapped them in the face repeatedly.
"Even if I lose, I have to teach this Chu Ran a lesson. Chen You, don't panic, I'll come help you gank later."
Hearing Eimy's words, Jinoo opened his mouth, but the words in his heart remained unspoken.
He was afraid Eimy's Lee Sin would come over and feed a double kill.
And then he really did feed a double kill.
"No, Chen You, where's your ultimate? What the f*ck, where's your ult?" Eimy looked at his gray screen, his face so angry it turned a liver color.
Jinoo was startled, his expression a bit dazed. "He blocked it with his W, then got One Second Four Breaks, and then... there was no then."
"Xiba Simida!"
Looking at the "7 minutes 54 seconds" in the upper right corner, Eimy's face was quite flushed.
This wasn't just about losing the match; it was about him truly becoming Chu Ran's background board after today's game.
Imp and the others saw the good news from the top lane, their expressions incredibly complicated.
"Tired, let's destroy it all."
The numerous RNG fans and LGD fans fell silent. The EDG fans' words were like Garen's Whisper, making them silent and breaking their defenses.
Match time: 13 minutes.
Chu Ran TP'd to participate in the second dragon team fight. With three quick slashes, he killed Imp, causing Imp to sit bolt upright in his player booth.
Successfully achieving a one-for-four trade, Chu Ran's Fiora got another kill. Pawn and Deft also took off immediately.
"Nice! Brother Ran 6666."
"You're the Sword Immortal from now on, Little Ran."
"How about calling him Sword Person Simida~"
In an instant, EDG's team voice was filled with laughter and joy, while LGD remained silent.
Uzi on the commentary desk was also silenced, only feeling a tightness in his chest.
Damn it, if he had known LGD was this weak, he wouldn't have come to do this f*cking commentary. He was losing face big time.
Especially seeing Chu Ran carry in two consecutive games made him even more indignant.
Next, relying on Chu Ran's Fiora's strong play, they took the Rift Herald and pushed down the top lane turret. They swapped lanes and solo pushed the bottom lane turret, advancing like an unstoppable force. Jinoo's Camille was solo killed by Chu Ran twice more in the side lane, directly rendering the hero Camille useless in this game.
At 22 minutes, the economic gap between the two teams widened to 8,000 yuan. EDG initiated the Baron, but LGD didn't dare to contest, only able to defend their high ground.
"Huh? What does EDG want? They want to end."
"Oh my god! EDG has too big of an advantage. Caitlyn's traps are set, and the entire LGD team doesn't dare to approach. Viktor and Fiora are respectively pulling waves on the top and bottom lanes. LGD makes a desperate move and initiates a team fight on EDG's middle lane with three members."
"However, Fiora and Viktor quickly arrived. Fiora and Viktor's damage is too high. Imp was killed by Easy's few slashes again. The healing zone was activated, and Deft's Caitlyn was also protected."
"Beautiful! With that, we can congratulate EDG."
At LGD's player booth, Godv and the others looked on in despair as EDG pushed through their nexus like a raging fire, their faces turning red.
It was normal for LGD to lose matches, but after all the hype and trash talk before the match, when the main subject of that hype, Chu Ran, took the stage, they were completely shut down.
This was something neither they nor the LGD fans could accept.
Being humiliated outside the arena and then humiliated inside the arena, had LGD truly fallen into decline since their return from the Paris tour in S5?
With a bang!
At 23 minutes and 32 seconds, the screen froze, and the outcome of this crucial match was suddenly revealed!
"Congratulations to EDG!!"
Miller shouted loudly.
"Congratulations to EDG. After falling behind in the first game, they subbed in player Easy, and Easy's two outstanding performances were truly breathtaking,"
Guan Zeyuan also expressed his feelings. "They are too strong. Truly, the waves behind push the waves before, and the latter waves are stronger than the former. This rookie, Easy, has shown us a completely new style of EDG with his performance today."
As Miller and Guan Zeyuan's voices echoed from the commentary desk, Uzi next to them was cursing wildly in his mind, and he only found the voices of Miller and Guan Zeyuan to be somewhat noisy.
"Xiao Hu isn't here, damn it!"
Uzi really needed Xiao Hu right now—his strong support, but he felt really annoyed. He looked at Guan Zeyuan sitting next to him.
Forget it, he couldn't worry about that much right now. He needed to vent. If it was Guan Zeyuan, then so be it.
Bang!
Hiss—!
Guan Zeyuan: "???"
He had been passionately casting, but then he felt a sharp pain in his thigh.
"You animal! I only teased you a few times. When you played Lucian jungle, you disgusted me, and I didn't even settle the score with you. Now you're resorting to physical assault, huh?"
"Fine, fine, fine! You wanna play like that?"
The audience in the venue and in the livestream had no idea what was happening at the caster's desk. The bullet comments flooded the chat.
[66666, teaching them a lesson both offensively and defensively. Now the Optimism family is finally behaving.]
[The Optimism family can't be optimistic anymore, they've been beaten until they're red-hot.]
[They should change their name to the Pessimism family, hahaha.]
[After the match, I smoked three cigarettes and still couldn't figure out why RNG let such a top laner go.]
[Nonsense, because he offended the God. I told you, if you offend the God in RNG, you think you can still play? You know Wuxin, right? When the God arrived, he was directly thrown into the water dungeon.]
[This Wuxin incident is Mata's fault. He didn't give him any face at all, directly calling Wuxin trash.]
[Mata playing Zyra with the Windspeaker title, and he has the nerve to talk?]
[Stop talking, the God's punishment is coming soon. Be careful your account doesn't get deleted.]
The match ended, and the entire internet was abuzz. Major forums were already filled with trending topics.
At EDG's player booth, Meiko took off his headset and exclaimed loudly, "Brother Ran's Fiora has earned my approval, Tianye."
"You're making me laugh," Chu Ran chuckled, seeing iBoy's gaze and smiling at him.
He had to admit, iBoy really wasn't up to par.
He didn't contribute much in advantageous situations, and in disadvantageous ones, he seemed to be sleepwalking.
If this continued, something bad would happen sooner or later. However, today LGD's Eimy was even more bizarre than him, so iBoy's performance was overshadowed.
"Xiao Ran, where are we eating today? Your Brother Yuan Shuo said he's treating."
"Brother He Kui, this isn't something we should be thinking about. We just need to win the match. Manager Abu has more to consider. Let him treat later."
"Going for handshakes, Brother Ran."
Arriving at LGD's player booth, Chu Ran and the others walked straight over. The LGD players' gazes were all fixed on Chu Ran.
Jinoo's face was pale. Today, he had been utterly defeated by Chu Ran.
Being educated both offensively and defensively had cost him at least a third of his market value.
During the handshake, seeing Jinoo staring intently at him, Chu Ran whispered something close to his ear, causing Jinoo's pale face to instantly flush red.
"Damn it!"
Staring at Chu Ran's retreating back, Jinoo desperately wanted to punch that bastard. The nascent East Radiance!
[Red Temperature Value +154]
[Red Temperature Value +267]
After the handshake, Deft and the others looked at Chu Ran with curiosity. Meiko couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer. "Brother Ran, what did you just say to Jinoo?"
"Heh, I was just testing my Korean learning progress."
"What?"
Chu Ran smiled and waved his hand. "I just told him that his Fiora and Camille are as trashy as a Silver player."
"..."
Deft and the others gave him a thumbs-up, thinking that Chu Ran must have some real skill to have survived this long unscathed.
A moment later, amidst the joyous atmosphere backstage at EDG, the MVP for the third game was announced. It went to Chu Ran again. Although Pawn and Deft had also played well in this game, Chu Ran's performance had still left a profound impact on the audience.
Replacing Mouse and winning two consecutive MVPs caused many EDG fans to cheer.
Of course, many people also felt sorry for Mouse. There was even a trending topic on Weibo titled "#Goodbye, Mouse!#".
Following that, Chu Ran was invited to the interview stage by Yu Shuang. Many viewers stayed tuned to the livestream.
Not many people enjoyed post-match interviews, but Chu Ran's interviews were an exception.
At this very moment, backstage at LGD, Imp also saw Chu Ran on the screen, feeling a vague sense of foreboding.
On the interview stage, after Yu Shuang and Chu Ran introduced themselves to the camera, they quickly got down to business.
"Hello, Easy, congratulations on defeating LGD today and winning the match. What do you think was the biggest reason for your victory today?"
Facing Yu Shuang's question, many viewers widened their eyes, eagerly awaiting Chu Ran's answer.
Chu Ran pondered for a moment, then flashed a shy smile at the camera.
"I think,"
"Aside from the top lane situation, another reason is the bottom lane. Our bottom lane is still a bit stronger. Imp's performance today was just a tiny bit worse than Deft's."
Seeing Chu Ran's gesture of pinching a gap between his right thumb and index finger, Imp's entire face instantly turned red.
At this moment, he was redder than Uzi!
Imp's roar echoed throughout LGD, deafeningly loud, startling Godv and the others.
"Sibaaaaa!!"
"A-sibaaaaa!!"
"I'm worse than Deft? He said I'm worse than Deft? Fucking Deft has barely ever beaten me! Sibasibasibaaaa!"
"Does he have eyes? How am I worse than Deft? I have championships, what does Deft have?"
"Deft, he! Is! A! Bitch!"
