Chapter 157: I don’t know who is the first Chu Rongguang! The opening battle begins!
When Chu Ran finished speaking, countless people present and in the live broadcast room were shocked instantly, as if there was an echo lingering, and countless people widened their eyes.

Uzi’s pupils couldn’t help but dilate and he clenched his fists. It was no wonder that he thought too much. Why did Chu Ran’s reply “Let them come” consist of four words?
At this moment, many reporters gasped and stared at Chu Ran’s back with extremely shocked eyes as he gradually disappeared from their sight.

Although there are only four ordinary words, but combined with Chu Ran’s tone just now, it gives people great encouragement, and makes countless LPL viewers feel heroic!

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was flooding the screen in an instant!

[6666! Chu Shen is so domineering! ]

[What is the King of Chu? If you think you can do it, then come on! ]

[According to this back view, I think Chu Shen did it on purpose! He is imitating the Great Emperor Zhatian Wushi! ]

[Stone Emperor: Let Wu Shi come! ]

[It’s so funny, Chu Shen turned his back on everyone, making everyone feel a sense of oppression that he looked down on the world! ]

[Who is the peak at the end of the alliance? Once you see Chu Shen, your crown will be gone! ]

In an instant, this photo of Chu Ran’s back was quickly recorded by the flash and shutter sound, and then caused a stir in the LPL forum.

Especially with the wisdom of countless netizens, they also added all kinds of dirty words to this photo of Chu Ran’s back.

Chu Shen Wudi: Huni, Cuvee, Khan, stand still here, I’ll go buy you some oranges. – Excerpt from “Background of the 2017 League of Legends World Championship”

Carry a knife but no umbrella on a rainy night: Back then, LPL was facing a powerful enemy and was in despair. Emperor Chu Ran suddenly appeared, saying “I will take action” and conquered the thirteen states with his own hands. He single-handedly conquered three thousand emperors, sank the Bird’s Nest, and also made LCK talents wither. He preached the truth in the Bird’s Nest. ——Excerpt from “LPL Chronicles”

Various remarks like these have emerged one after another, making today’s draw ceremony a hot topic among countless netizens.

On the night when the S-League group stage was confirmed, many prophet emperors appeared on Hupu Kangba Weibo, all of whom said that they had learned Feng Shui and gossip since childhood, and each of them thought they were Hu Bayi.

Without dividing the gold and determining the location of the tomb, we can predict the direction of the S game here.

There were all kinds of predictions, including SKT winning four championships and RNG winning the championship with an all-Chinese team.

Of course, the most popular post is a post in Kang Bar, where someone named ‘LPL Liu Banxian’ claims to have been deeply influenced by the true teachings of Longhu Mountain and listed a bunch of evidence for netizens.

Originally many netizens were just having fun, but this person’s prediction caused an uproar among the netizens in the forum.

“EDG will be 9 behind SKT in the group stage and make two comebacks, and finally lose to AHQ and C2 in the second round with a burst of mentality, and finally stop in the round of 4 with a – loss.”

You have to know that this year’s global finals was held in China, attracting the attention of many domestic audiences. For seven years, their LPL region still has no champion.

EDG’s performance this year is obvious to all, attracting a large number of fans and making many passers-by believe that this year is the most promising year because LPL has EDG.

As a result, you predict that EDG, the number one seed, will advance to the round of 16, replicating LGD’s script, which is even more outrageous than LGD. LGD can only be Brand smelting iron at best.

Two games with an economy of 10,000 were overturned. This is simply not something a human can achieve.

Especially since the group stage was still held in Mingkai’s hometown and they were eliminated in the round of 16, then Mingkai really had no regrets, with sweat on their necks, and had to stay in Wuhan. This also made many Mingkai fans who just wanted to have fun surprisingly angry.

They usually play Mingkai jokes on each other, but it can be seen that this year is Mingkai’s best year. He might retire after this year.

Even if they were predicted to make it to the top four, they wouldn’t be so angry. After all, breaking through to the top eight is considered progress. Predicting a top 16 would be a naked curse.

【Funny mud pee! If you told me EDG would lose, I would laugh. If you told me EDG would be eliminated in the round of 16, I would take it as a joke. If you told me EDG would make a comeback with 10,000 gold in two games, have you ever played the game?】

[We were leading by 10,000 economy but were overturned twice. I think even a pig can’t beat us. ]

[Everyone, please go away. This person is GSL. He is here to fish. ]

[You caught the fish, but it’s gone! ]

[I strongly suspect that the poster is a GSL or a Korean who posts to fish for money, then puts his phone in a steel door with vibrate mode, and waits for netizens to comment on him so that he can enjoy it.]

[Oh, Zhuza and Ran Xiaozi are getting anxious. It’s okay. As long as you play like SKT, you will have one tenth of the credit for RNG’s victory.]

[If EDG is really eliminated in the round of 16, then this is the best scenario. Xiaogou will definitely win the championship. I am excited just thinking about it. The only thing I am afraid of is that EDG will defeat SKT’s confidence. ]

[GSL and Han Xiaozi are still shouting, no one really believes this prediction, anyone who believes it is an idiot. ]

【It was caused by letting them sit at the table to eat. 】

【Confucius is right! This is the episode that I support Confucius the most! 】

At the same time, EDG checked into the hotel.

“Brother Ran, there’s a huge uproar on the internet.”

“Aren’t there quarrels every day on the Internet?”

Meiko excitedly ran to Chu Ran who was studying with a book in his hand, “Some netizens predicted that EDG would be defeated by SKT twice with 10,000 gold points, and then the atmosphere went wild.”

puff~
The moment Chu Ran heard this, he burst into laughter, his expression filled with shock, “There is such a god? I must go and pay my respects to him.”

“Huh?” Meiko was puzzled. “Brother Ran, you don’t think his prediction is accurate, do you?”

“Of course not. With me here, this kind of thing can’t happen. By the way, the premise is that you don’t play as a wind girl.”

Meiko was very confused. Chu Ran had said a long time ago that he was forbidden to play Janna in the S game, but in this version of Censer, Janna was a T0 support. There was no reason not to play her if someone gave her the chance.

“What if I can only play as Wind Girl?”

“Then you are prohibited from offering ancient coins.”

“If Janna doesn’t buy Ancient Coin, what will she buy?” Meiko spread his hands. “It can’t be Relic Shield or Spellthief’s Blade.”

Chu Ran was a little speechless. He couldn’t tell Meiko that he would be attacked by SKT because he was playing Janna and picking up ancient coins, and eventually lose the game with 10,000 economy.

“Tian Ye, don’t listen to your brother Ran. Let him study hard. He’s a top laner and he doesn’t know how to play Jill support.”

“What the hell? Brother Kai, come on, let’s have a one-on-one duel. I don’t know how to play as a support, but I know how to play as a jungler. Let’s see who can clear two jungle areas and six groups of jungle the fastest with Nidalee.”

“You little bastard, are you questioning my Leopard Girl?” Mingkai’s face darkened.

Chu Ran immediately closed the book with a snap, “Misunderstood, I’m not questioning your Nidalee, I’m just questioning your jungle skills.”

For a moment, the entire training room was filled with Mingkai’s scolding, but in the end he still lost the race with Chu Ran in the wild area and fell behind Chu Ran by 3 seconds.

Chu Ran cleared two jungle areas in just 3 minutes and 04 seconds, leaving Abu, Nofe, Mingkai and others stunned.

I really thought that the two entries he just drew, [Jungle Area Master] and [Crocodile has Crocodile Leopard], were a joke.

The jungle expert directly transmitted ultimate jungle experience to Chu Ran, and improved his abilities in jungle pulling, jungle clearing, and awareness by 40%.

The crocodile has a leopard, which makes up for his proficiency in Leopard Girl, making his Leopard Girl a master. Although it is a bit abstract to play top lane, he can easily win against Mingkai.

“Brother Kai, if you are new, just practice more.”

“Ha ha ha ha.”

A Guang was the first to laugh out loud, but was immediately subjected to Hong Kai’s death stare, which instantly made A Guang stunned.

They brought A Guang as a substitute in this S game, and planned to let him play once in the group stage, with the main purpose of getting a skin.

Time flies by.

In the following days, Chu Ran and others trained until late at night every day, and then enjoyed the nightlife of the city of Wuhan under the leadership of Ming Kai.

Before the S game officially started, Chu Ran and his friends had already gained a few pounds. On National Day, they even went to Orange Island in Changsha to check in.

Soon, the time came to February 10th.

The enthusiasm for traveling during the National Day holiday has gradually faded, but at two o’clock in the afternoon, the Wuhan Sports Center was much busier than during the peak of National Day tourism.

Looking at the crowds of spectators queuing to enter the venue, Meiko, who had just stepped off the bus, couldn’t help but sigh, “Almost all of them are Chinese. I guess all the tickets have been bought by us LPL fans.”

“Nonsense, I heard that scalpers sold tickets for three times the price for just one group match, which means we must reserve some tickets for audiences from other regions, otherwise they will all be bought out by our LPL, and we won’t be able to buy them.”

“Brother Kai, we have to thank you, the ticket-selling boy of LPL. With your games, tickets are always sold out.” Chu Ran laughed, which immediately led Ming Kai to choke him.

Careful netizens also discovered that Chu Ran and others had arrived at the scene, and instantly let out a deafening exclamation.

“Chu Shen, I’m your fan! Please sign an autograph for me.”

“Chu Shen Chu Shen, smile and take a photo with me.”

“You’re holding an RNG support sign and you say you’re my fan? Bro, you’re a complicated person, but I like you. I don’t mind what you call me online, but you call me Chu Shen in real life, you’re not stupid.”

“Keep it well. After several years, you will find that this signature can be sold for a lot of money.”

Chu Ran signed an autograph for this person and immediately left the hall under the escort of the staff. Like Ming Kai and others, he picked a few people to sign.

If everyone signs, there will be no need to play the game.

“Brother Ran, it has to be you. I won’t argue with you about what you call me on the Internet, but what should you call me if you really meet me?”

“What a pretense! I can’t stand it anymore.”

Meiko walked into the backstage and pretended to vomit, which immediately made everyone laugh.

After a burst of laughter, all the audience checked their tickets and took their seats. The familiar host Ren Dong walked onto the stage in a suit. As his magnetic voice rang out, the audience and the live broadcast room instantly cheered.

“Hello everyone at the scene and in the live broadcast room, welcome to the 2017 League of Legends World Finals. I have heard that Wuhan has a strong e-sports atmosphere. Let me and the players and audiences from all over the world feel your enthusiasm, please cheer and applaud louder!”

“EDG! EDG!”

“LPL must win!!”

“Go, LPL!”

“So starting from today, we will have an eight-day competition in this hall. Sixteen teams from all over the world will shed their sweat here to verify the results of their year-long efforts. Who will win the eight tickets to Guangzhou? Now let us invite the teams from each region to come on stage!”

At this moment, the surrounding audience stands were packed with people. LPL audiences from all over the country were holding up their cheering signs and shouting wildly. The atmosphere on the scene was more intense than any other LPL game.

This is still the group stage. It is hard to imagine what it would be like to have 100,000 people in the same frame at the Bird’s Nest.

All of a sudden.

As Ren Dong’s words rang out, the teams began to walk to the front of the stage. At the same time, a promotional video appeared on the big screen. The background music was the S7 theme song “Legends Never Die!” that was just released not long ago.

This was followed by a highlight reel of each player’s performance.

“Bilson! This time Bilson chooses to die standing!”

“Ruler, Ruler is going to harvest!”

“Brother Ran, Brother Ran is still attacking, just like a demon slayer from heaven, he is truly a Tai Sui God on earth!”

“God Chu is immobilized, hey! AOE!”

“What a mess! Faker made a great teamfight and directly killed the Uzi!”

Then each contestant gradually walked onto the stage amid the enthusiastic cheers of the host and the audience, and each contestant’s pre-recorded bold words also came into view.

Perkz: “I will prove who is the best mid laner in Europe and America, and even the best in the world.”

Bjergsen: “I don’t want to lose again this time, and I won’t lose again.”

Xiye: “I have never lost a foreign war, Xi Meng shocked me!”

Ruler: “If I could, I’d like to choose Kasumi’s skin.”

Khan: “When I saw Huni, Marin, and Semb being beaten by EDG’s Easy player and crying on the stage during the MSI and Intercontinental Championship, I felt a lot. Many viewers thought that the era of our LCK was over, but this time I am here, and I will take back everything that belongs to our LCK in the top position.”

As soon as Khan said this, the group of Korean fans in the hall immediately roared, and the Korean filial sons in the live broadcast rooms of major domestic platforms began to get restless again.

[Support Khna, just can’t stand seeing the beast like this. 】

[Indeed, after beating a few useless top laners, he really thought he was the best. ] [I hope Khna can organize a retirement ceremony for Ranchu by then. ]

The scene changed and Uzi appeared on the screen. He had his hands on his chest, but they were not tightly folded. His index finger was pointing forward, as if he was pointing at something.

Then his voice rang out quietly.

“I have been runner-up in the S-League twice. I think I lacked a bit of luck those two times, but I am not so bad this time. If I still lack, I will make up for it with my strength. This time I will not let those who support me down again.”

As soon as these words were spoken, GSL at the scene and in the live broadcast room immediately started cheering.

【The puppy is invincible! 】

[Indeed, after the summer season finals, Xiaohu has matured a lot. ]

[It’s not a sure win this time. I feel like there’s no one who can beat them, so I beg SKT to beat EDG. ]

[Laughing, it’s not set in stone, now you’re begging SKT to beat EDG, right? Are you scared? GSL really says one thing and does another, very hypocritical. ]

[Stop yelling, Xiaozi and Zhuza, are you afraid of EDG? Even if they are not eliminated, RNG can easily win. ]

[Won in a year? Don’t worry, when EDG wins the championship, we won’t give RNG even one-tenth of the credit. ]

The comments were full of heated discussions, and soon, Ren Dong’s voice that echoed throughout the hall was heard again.

“Now, let us welcome the second seed from the LCK region. They are the creators of the three-crown dynasty and the most legendary team in the League of Legends. They are SKT!”

Under the spotlight, all members of SKT stepped onto the stage. Although SKT’s performance was not good this year, it did not affect the enthusiasm of their fans at all.

The promotional video changed again. The SKT members stood under the famous scenic spots in Wuhan and spoke one after another. Finally, Faker ended with the words “I will prove that he is still called Lee Sang Hyuk in this era”, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of audiences around the world.

Countless Korean fans and Faker fans were screaming with excitement, looking forward to SKT defeating EDG in today’s opening game.

Finally, Ren Dong took a deep breath and said, “The last team is a legend among the League of Legends teams this year. They have won all the championships you can win. They are only one S-League championship away from the annual Grand Slam.”

“They are the creators of many miracles and the pioneers of history. They are! EDG, the No. 1 seed from LPL!”

The sound waves at this moment were like thunder, and the screams in the sky pierced everyone’s eardrums crazily. The figures of EDG members flashed in the promotional video at the end.

Mingkai stood in front of Changjiang, and then a voiceover was heard: “I started playing in S3. I’m not sure if this is the last chance in my career. Now the championship is right in front of me, so I will try my best.”

Next came Pawn, Deft, and Meiko.

Pawn: “Actually, I already have an S-League championship, but I want to lead my teammates to win this championship.”

Meiko: “I want to stand on the Bird’s Nest and hold up the championship trophy.”

Deft: “I hope this journey will go smoothly. I am eager for this championship. The championship is the only goal that I must achieve in my professional career. I think if I can’t win the championship, I will keep playing until the day I can’t play anymore.”

As the audience was discussing heatedly, the scene changed again, and Chu Ran’s handsome figure was seen standing on the Yangtze River Bridge, looking down at everything below. The breeze brushed his hair, but could not take away his handsomeness, causing countless female audiences to see stars.

“Some people tell me which player is the world’s number one in this position or was invincible in the past, but I think that in this global finals, no matter what happened in the past or what kind of glory there was in the past, that is the past.”

After saying this, Chu Ran in the picture straightened his collar, looking extremely confident.

“I don’t know anyone who is number one. If there is one, it’s me!”

After these words were spoken, the audience online and offline gasped, and they felt that something was awakened in their bodies, that is, their surging blood.

Uzi’s previously unresolved passion was completely ignited by Chu Ran’s words!
All major platforms are frantically swiping the screen at this moment!
[So handsome! Brother Ran! God Chu! ]

[I regret winning the championship, Chu Rongguang! My goal for the championship is Overlord Chu! I don’t know who is the number one Chu God King! ]

【Burning, burning, burning! This is the confidence of the top laner. 】

[Translation: In front of me, you are all just selling your heads! ]

[Arrogance requires strength, and I, Chu Shen, have it! ]

[Please, Master Chu, lead the brothers to charge again, please don’t let them be in the top 16 or the top 8. ]

Countless LPL viewers were so excited that they couldn’t express it in words. Soon, with the end of the S7 theme song, the screen turned to the major commentary seats.

In the LPL commentary box.

Several familiar faces appeared in front of the LPL audience.

“Hello! Hello everyone, I am the commentator Ze Yuan, and I welcome everyone to the first day of the group stage of the 2017 League of Legends World Championship. The next game is between Group A’s EDG and SKT. I believe there is no need for us to introduce these two teams.”

“It’s worth mentioning that this year SKT played a total of six games against EDG and didn’t win a single game.”

“Yes, the data is here, but it’s hard to say today. We all know that SKT in the S game is different from that in other games. If SKT can only perform 80 points normally, then in the S game they will perform at 100 points or even 120 points.” Miller greeted and began to analyze.

Jide, who was standing by, nodded affirmatively, “Yes, I think everyone has seen the prediction post that has been making a lot of noise on the Internet these days. I think many people believe in that prediction.”

“I saw it, and it said that EDG would be ahead by 10,000 and then be overturned by SKT. To be honest, I think this is impossible. If they are really ahead by 10,000, won’t Chu Shen beat SKT?”

Guan Zeyuan smiled and shook his head, then added: “I think we don’t need to say too much. It’s useless to say more. Let’s show our true strengths. Let’s take a look at the BP of both sides in this opening match!”

The picture on the big screen changed and entered the BP interface.

In this game, EDG got the blue side by tossing a coin, and SKT got the red side.

On one side of the stage, in the SKT game seats.

Kkoma was talking in an orderly manner: “I think the most difficult thing to deal with against EDG is not the top laner. As I said before, even if their top laner is very strong, it has little impact on the game before 10 minutes.”

“I believe you have watched his games. 10 minutes ago, at most he had an advantage in the top lane, but many times his opponents would catch him and then destroy him. Chengxun, do you understand what I mean?”

Huni gritted his teeth and nodded indignantly, “I understand. When I play the big worm and the like, I am afraid that the opponent will come with a long hand single.”

In the end, Hu Bulu still got what he wanted and was finally broken by life. If he doesn’t listen anymore, he will really be out of work next year, mainly because he is disobedient and has no achievements.

If SKT is sent away by EDG again, Faker will probably put him into the urn with his own hands.

“We have Counter in this game. If he dares to play AD top lane, you can just use Pantheon.”

“Then let’s make it this way. We can play in the middle and lower levels, or even in the late game.”

On the other side, Nofe was holding a notebook and muttering, “Galio, Azar, Lee Sin, these are the three.”

“My suggestion is Lo Mouse.”

Hearing Chu Ran’s words, Nofe frowned, “So should we take Xayah or Janna first? Give Janna to the opponent and we take Lulu?”

“I think it’s okay.”

Chu Ran nodded. He simply prevented Meiko from playing Janna and prevented Wolf from getting Rakan.

Can you still get an economic advantage of 10,000 and then be overturned?

He can even type it out and eat it directly!

Soon, the top three players of both sides were determined.

EDG: Galio, Twitch, Rakan.

SKT: Sejuani, Viktor, Spear of Vengeance.

“Oh, EDG locked Xayah first, SKT picked Clockwork in the second and third picks, and EDG picked Janna. Janna is still a little stronger than Lulu.”

“What do you mean? EDG seems to be in a dilemma. It seems that they don’t know whether to pick Janna or Lulu. In the end, they picked Lulu and Syndra. SKT picked Janna. If they don’t pick it, they will be banned in the second round.”

“In the second round, EDG banned Varus and Tristana, SKT blocked Zac and Gragas, and we locked Kog’Maw in the fourth round. What are EDG going to do with Digger and Ran in the fourth and fifth rounds?”

Several commentators suddenly exclaimed, and Chu Ran was also struggling with what he should play.

He felt that he had to play a hero who could save the world. Although he curbed all possibilities of a 10,000 economic comeback, generally speaking, it was not his lineup that could make a 10,000 economic comeback, it was Meiko’s brain that was not working well.

This time, Lulu was used at his strong request. In case he gets sick again, he might use the Spellthief’s Blade to steal some money, but he might explode again.

“I’ll take the troll.”

“Ah?” Nofe was startled, “Xiaoran, are you sure?”

“That’s it. I want to try it.”

Chu Ran thought that if that situation really happened, he would just destroy the towers ruthlessly, killing one for each one, killing two for each, and destroying one tower every three seconds. He didn’t believe that SKT could turn things around.

The next second, when the troll Chu Ran was locked, the scene fell silent for a moment, and then bursts of disbelief and exclamation followed.

“Oh my god! I don’t know what year it is in the palace of heaven!” Jide suddenly said excitedly: “This is the S7 World Championship, how come the S6 troll is on the stage in the first game!”

“Wow! Chu Shen! He gave us a surprise in the first game, a troll. You know what, although the troll was weakened after S6, he was strengthened again not long ago. His Q can Q the tower.”

“Yes, then we’ll have to see what Huni is going to play here.”

At this moment, Huni was so excited, “Coach, the opponent is playing a troll, I can’t play a tank for him to suck.”

Kkoma was also a little depressed and waved his hand, “Then let’s go with Jayce.”

“Oh! Here it comes. Huni has never performed Jayce in front of Ran. We all say that Huni has several special skills, Fiora, Riven, and Jayce. Moreover, Jayce is very good at countering the Troll. As long as he keeps his distance, he can completely suppress the Troll.”

In an instant, the lineups of both sides were decided.

EDG blue side: top lane Troll, jungle Digger, mid lane Syndra, bottom lane Xayah and Lulu.

SKT red side: top lane Jayce, jungle Jarvan IV, mid lane Clockwork, bottom lane Kog’Maw and Janna.

As soon as the lineups of both teams came out, many viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast room had questions after being excited.

[Fuck, how do you beat a troll against Jayce? ]

[It seems that it will be difficult for Chu Shen to perform well in this game. Isn’t he being suppressed to death? ]

[No, why is Chu Shen playing a troll? To be honest, playing a troll is not as good as playing a sword princess weapon. ]

[Do you think there is a possibility that Chu Shen wants to get the troll skin? ]

[Nonsense, Chu Shen said that the champion top laner skin should be Juggernaut or Yasuo, because they will sell well, he wants to make money. ]

[Yo yo yo, we haven’t even finished the group stage yet and we’re already thinking about the champion skin. I’m just waiting for this troll to die. ]

[It felt good, but one day the beast was finally beaten by the one with the longer arms. 】

At this moment, in the RNG backstage lounge.

Letme waved excitedly. Although he didn’t want SKT to win, he really wanted to see Chu Ran being tortured.

“Great! The beast is finally going to be tortured by others. I hope Huni tortures this beast to death.”

“It feels like this game is going to be a little hard for EDG to win, right, Uzi?”

Xiaohu turned around and found that Uzi had opened a bottle of rock sugar and snow pear, and started drinking it in big gulps. “I’ve opened the rock sugar and snow pear, which is equivalent to opening champagne. You told me that EDG has a hard time winning? It’s impossible to win.”

Firefox frowned, wondering if EDG would really lose?
It seems that the word “lose” is not included in Chu Ran’s dictionary.

On the other side, in the SKT competition area, Huni was rubbing his hands in preparation for the match. Faker said in a deep voice: “Chengxun, this time…will you win?”

Huni was stunned, then he waved his hand, his face showed a fierce look, he adjusted his sitting posture, and his tone contained confidence.

“Don’t worry, we’re guaranteed to win.”

“This time I’m going to take back everything I lost!”
