League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Chapter 150 Please Believe Me

In the last half second of the Crocodile's second E duration, a bright light flashed above the weapon's head, just as it leveled up to level six. Li Chen immediately controlled the weapon to turn around and jump in front of him, landing and auto-attacking, still without activating the E skill.

The key to getting a solo kill on the crocodile is mastering the use of his E skill. With boots and a small hammer, he doesn't lack movement speed. As long as he can block the crocodile's W, he definitely has a chance to chase him down to the tower and secure the kill.

Hauntzer was aware of this, which is why he dared not hand over W so easily.

The two players were taking turns attacking, and the player with the faster weapon attack speed and better equipment clearly had the advantage.

After three basic attacks, Li Chen saw that Hauntzer still didn't intend to use his W skill, so he proactively activated his E skill, Windmill.

The two chased and fled, and in the end, the crocodile was chased all the way to the tower. Li Chen took the initiative to stun the crocodile with E, hit a basic attack followed by WA, and then pulled away.

The crocodile had canceled his W skill, so this tower dive was impossible. However, the crocodile's health was almost completely depleted, with only 200 HP left, and he couldn't even stand under the tower.

Left with no other option, hauntzer had to return to base, watching helplessly as the turret devoured all the creeps.

On the European commentary booth, Dracos, seeing this scene, couldn't help but shout excitedly: "God_C has executed a very beautiful trade, and hauntzer has to go home to recover."

It seems the help from his teammates didn't completely turn the tide for Hauntzer in the top lane; he's still at a disadvantage. This top laner from the LPL region is demonstrating his terrifying dominance.

"I think it's clear now that TSM's decision to sacrifice their mid and bot lanes to help their top lane was definitely not a wise one. EDG's top laner is not so easy to defeat, and now their game is going to be very difficult."

At this point, there's no need to look at the economy or kills; just by looking at the levels of both sides and the minimap, everyone can tell who won and who lost the game.

TSM's players are now all one level behind their lane counterparts, and the bot lane minion wave is being controlled near the ruins of the blue team's first tower. If it weren't for the fact that Ziggs and Karma don't have strong lane-killing abilities, Ashe and Braum wouldn't even be able to farm minions.

The mid-lane Taliyah is facing a Lucian who is one level higher than her, and you can imagine how difficult it will be for her; she can't even sit comfortably under the tower.

The jungler used his farming skills to chase and bully Lee Sin. With no lane priority on any of the three lanes, Lee Sin could only watch as Gragas roamed freely in his own jungle.

However, TSM had already anticipated this situation when they decided to engage in a five-man gank.

Anyway, they didn't plan to win this game. They were already very satisfied with getting Li Chen's first victory on the international stage.

In the subsequent matches, TSM attempted to mount a comeback once or twice, but the result was simply to speed up the game.

Without any twists or surprises, just over nineteen minutes in, EDG pushed down both the mid and bottom lanes simultaneously, using the two super minion waves to destroy TSM's base in one fell swoop.

As soon as Li Chen and the others took off their headphones, they heard a deafening roar of shouts from the audience.

Two completely dominant victories demonstrated EDG's formidable dominance to all viewers, a level of strength that no other team, including SKT, has yet displayed.

Li Chen led the EDG team to the TSM players' bench.

Hauntzer, who was approaching, shook Li Chen's hand excitedly and said, "C, I'm your fan!"

Li Chen's English was mediocre, but he could still barely understand the meaning of the sentence. He could tell that the other person wasn't making a joke.

One doesn't hit a smiling face, so Li Chen returned the courtesy with, "Your crocodile is great too!"

Unlike the bitter rivalry between the Taiwanese team, the LPL region and the North American region didn't have any animosity. Although they lost the game, TSM didn't seem too upset, and both sides shook hands with smiles to express their greetings.

If G2 had won against them, they would probably have started to act tough by now.

After all, the consensus in the North American region is that they cannot afford to lose to the European region.

Back in the backstage dressing room, Abu immediately greeted him with a big smile: "You played so well in both games today, Chen, you must be tired. Sit down and rest, have a cup of coffee to soothe your throat."

Li Chen took the coffee and took a sip: "The two teams we played today were just average. Tomorrow we have to play G2 and SKT back-to-back. They're the real tough ones."

"That's right, we can't relax yet!"

Abu nodded, then looked at the others and said, "When TSM went to gank top lane 5v1 at 4:30, your reaction was too slow. Also, the bot lane needs to give more feedback. Achen can pay attention to the mid and jungle's movements, but the bot lane is too far away. We can't rely on Achen to take the initiative to observe alone."

Meiko lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "That wave was my responsibility. The enemy bot lane suddenly initiated a trade of blows with us. I should have realized they were going to pull some dirty tricks."

Nofe then chimed in, "We need to be mindful of this when we play SKT tomorrow. If the mid and bot lanes fall behind, they might use the same tactic, sacrificing their mid and bot lane advantage to help the top lane stabilize the situation."

"Probably not. The gap between our individual skill level and SKT's isn't that big. It's impossible for them to gain an advantage in less than five minutes. Besides, the same tactic can only be used once against me."

Li Chen remained confident as always. He truly hadn't expected TSM to resort to such a desperate tactic today. This kind of move, which hurts the enemy 800 while also injuring oneself 1000, is something no team that still wants to win would use.

Otherwise, if they do a few more five-on-one ganks, he won't even need to lift a finger; the other four members of EDG will be able to snowball the game.

SKT's idea was pretty much the same as Li Chen's guess.

After the match, SKT didn't have to wait for interviews like EDG, so they went back to their hotel by car right after watching the game.

Back in the car, Koma was making notes in his notebook when he finally changed his mind and said, "We can't learn from TSM's five-man gank strategy. If Huni is at a disadvantage in the lane tomorrow, Peanut, don't worry about him. Focus your attention on Clearlove."

Faker nodded: "Targeting EDG's jungle with our mid and jungle is a good idea. As long as our mid and bot lanes can gain an advantage, even if our top lane is at a slight disadvantage, it shouldn't be a big problem."

However, Huni was somewhat unconvinced. The match hadn't even started yet, so how could everyone be so sure that he would be at a disadvantage?

"Coach, Sang-hyeok hyung, tomorrow I'm going to face off against god_C head-on. I'm sure I won't be any worse than him, please believe in me!"
