League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Compared to LCK, LPL was much more excited at this time.

Miller grinned from ear to ear and immediately started popping champagne: "I feel like this game is already decided, okay? You let C-God get first blood at level one and control the lane, and now Huni just came out and got forced back to base. How are SKT supposed to play now?!"

Guan Zeyuan wholeheartedly agreed: "Huni is still level 1 after three minutes, with only two minions. It's basically impossible for him to make any more noise in this game. If the jungler doesn't come, his CS might just stop here."

"I don't think the factory manager will easily give SKT the opportunity to help Riven clear the lane. Although EDG's mid and bot lanes are under some pressure, they are still playable. There's no reason for him to leave the top side of the map," Rita analyzed.

[The jungler's presence makes a difference? A level 4 Fiora against a level 1 Riven, plus a Lee Sin, would be tough enough.]

As we all know, every time the carry gains an advantage, their passive skill will trigger, allowing them to take on two opponents and kill the jungler.

[This is hilarious! Is this all Huni has to offer? Who gave him the audacity to challenge C?]

Poor Faker, he probably still doesn't realize how serious the situation is.

[If it were me, I'd just say there's a significant difference in jungle play; I'd give up on that this game.]

[Peanut: Coach, I want to play top lane!]

Although EDG's mid and bot lanes were slightly behind in CS, resulting in a small economic lead for EDG, it was clear to everyone that SKT was on the brink of elimination.

If the problem of not being able to farm minions in the top lane isn't resolved, there's no point in continuing the game.

However, Li Chen would not give SKT an easy chance. He controlled the minion wave in front of the tower in the top lane, while driving the newly spawned Riven away from the experience zone, and observing the situation in the mid and bottom lanes, ready to respond at any time.

He noticed that Faker played very aggressively in this game. Even against Galio, who could still use W-Flash, he still chose to push the lane and pressure Scout, keeping him firmly under the tower.

After finishing off the jungle monsters in the top half of the map, Gragas walked to the mid-lane bush, tapped the SKT jungle area, and said, "Can anyone control the mid lane and see if we can force a Flash?"

Scout said with some concern, "It'll be hard to catch, Faker's positioning, Lee Sin might be behind him."

"I bet a hotpot dinner at a fancy restaurant that Peanut is 100% not in the mid lane. He's most likely back in the top jungle. If you can beat Faker, then go for it."

The factory manager was full of confidence. He studied Peanut's jungle clearing strategy. Unlike him, the opponent could not eat grass and would not waste so much time. He counter-ganked in the mid lane.

Faker's aggressive playstyle is almost certainly a bluff.

However, Li Chen suddenly spoke up: "Don't gank him. The Blind Monk is definitely counter-ganking nearby. Faker probably wants to push the lane quickly and go back to base, then find an opportunity to gank with the Blind Monk."

Although Faker was pushing the lane, he wasn't recklessly pushing; he was deliberately controlling the timing of the minion wave reaching the tower.

Now that a new wave of siege minions has just been released, if Faker abandons a few backline minions, he can clear the frontline minions, use W to grab the siege minion and return to the tower, quickly kill the siege minion with the help of the tower, and then recall to base and walk out.

Scout will face a large wave of minions pushing into his tower, and the next wave of minions will also be coming. Scout will have to clear the wave before recalling, which will force him to use Teleport back to lane.

In other words, Faker only needs to sacrifice three ranged units to gain a teleport advantage, and then roam and make plays.

"We can't let them clear the lane so easily. Top lane Riven has no fighting power. If the mid lane loses some wave later, we can still fight in a 3v3." Clearlove knew that the key to winning or losing was in the top lane, so he subconsciously felt that SKT would definitely use this opportunity to help the top lane.

"They might not gank me. Top lane Riven can't get ahead, so no amount of help will help. If I were Faker, I would gank bot lane with four players to take a gamble. If we win the bot lane and gain an advantage, we'll still have a chance," Li Chen analyzed.

"Alright, I'll head to the bottom half of the map later!" The factory manager decided to listen to Li Chen's analysis and immediately returned to base, abandoning his idea of ​​catching Syndra.

After all, they are not in a hurry right now. With the advantage in the top lane, they can wait for the advantage to continue to expand. There is no need to gamble on whether Peanut will counter-gank.

From the perspective of the player in the game, at the same time that Gragas recalled to base, Lee Sin, who was standing in the shadow of the wall behind Syndra, also pressed recall.

Peanut had placed a ward in advance, giving him a glimpse into the factory manager's vision, but since the factory manager didn't make a move, he couldn't take the initiative.

"The factory manager still has some strategy; he didn't catch you this time. Sang-hyeok, you should get ready to head back to base too!"

"Um!"

Faker responded and then did exactly as Li Chen said, using W to grab the cannon minion and walk back to the tower. With the help of the tower, he quickly killed the cannon minion and returned to base.

"Huni, you should go back to the bot lane too. You can get some experience and level up to three. There's no need to go to the top lane for now. Fiora won't be pushing towers."

Huni's performance in the laning phase was a complete disaster, and she no longer dared to spout any nonsense about trusting me. She simply nodded obediently and followed instructions: "Okay, Sang-hyeok hyung!"

As Li Chen predicted, Peanut went home, bought equipment, and went out to farm monsters in the upper jungle area before making his way to the lower jungle.

Meanwhile, the factory manager had finished clearing the bottom half of the jungle, but he faced a choice: whether to stop farming and wait for SKT to tower dive in the bottom lane, or to go to the top half of the jungle to farm monsters and ensure his own development.

This is also the clever part of SKT's level 1 jungle invasion. They anticipated that the top lane might be lost, so they directly abandoned the top lane to exchange jungle camps and ganked the bottom lane by taking advantage of the time difference when jungle monsters respawned.

This way, regardless of whether EDG can predict their gank on the bottom lane, they will still gain something.

If the factory manager counter-ganks them, their jungle clearing progress will fall behind, allowing Peanut to further exert pressure in the jungle, thus affecting the development of the mid and bot lanes.

If the factory manager didn't anticipate this, or was unwilling to waste time counter-ganking, and the mid laner couldn't get there in time, this four-man or even five-man gank would definitely succeed. In fact, if they were more aggressive, the bottom lane tower might even fall.

Conversely, if they don't switch jungle areas at the start of the game, then Gragas will most likely start in the bottom jungle, following a similar jungle route to Peanut.

That would make it less convenient for SKT to gank the bottom lane, and the four-man gank might turn into a four-man gank, or even a four-on-four situation.

At this moment, the factory manager was standing at the position of his own three wolves, hesitating whether or not to go to the top half of the jungle to farm. Faker in the mid lane had not yet made a move, obviously wanting to wait for Peanut to finish farming the bottom half of the jungle before making a move.

However, he can't farm in the upper half of the jungle and can only stand here as punishment, which is a huge loss for him.

"Damn, SKT played so dirty. If I wait for them to gank, it's like I won't get any jungle monsters for a minute or two."
