League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Chapter 176 Entering the Elimination Rounds

"G2's offensive was fierce, giving EDG no chance to breathe. With only Clearlove and Zet left, can they hold on?"

With Guan Zeyuan's slightly sighing commentary, the match between EDG and G2 was nearing its end.

Miller's tone was also somewhat somber: "Zet chose to fight to the death, but how could one person face the attack of four G2 players? He was still focused down and killed. In that case, EDG will suffer their first defeat at MSI."

"Although they lost this group stage match, EDG's overall points are still far ahead. Both EDG and SKT have already qualified, but their rankings are still uncertain."

Rita wasn't affected. Since Li Chen wasn't playing, what did it matter to her if EDG lost?

[Laughs, C hasn't played for two days, and EDG has completely collapsed.]

[I don't understand what the factory manager is doing. They've lost the game, yet he hasn't died even once.]

With the supervisors not present, the factory manager's old habits are about to kick in again.

[C should be playing soon, otherwise I feel like Flash Wolves have a hard time beating him.]

Watching the base crystal shatter into pieces, the factory manager expressionlessly took off his headphones, not wanting to say a word.

Scout glanced at the factory manager out of the corner of his eye, having some thoughts in mind, but dared not say them aloud.

To be honest, he felt that the factory manager should take the blame for losing this game. He played a terrible Gragas and didn't use his ultimate, watching the enemy carry get killed. How could the game be played like that?

When shaking hands with the G2 players, the G2 top laner expressed his regret that Li Chen did not play, and said that he wanted to visit Li Chen, who was sick, that night.

The factory manager smiled to himself, but inwardly he was cursing.

How could he not know whether Li Chen was sick or not? That guy just wanted them to lose a round, and he and Abu both knew that.

However, they couldn't refute it yet, since the undefeated record did carry some burden, and the players' psychological pressure was starting to show.

In today's match against G2, Scout had several opportunities to make plays, but he clearly chickened out and didn't dare to go in and make any moves.

Now that we've lost one game, at least we don't have to be so anxious about the rest of the matches, afraid of being blamed for the first loss at MSI.

Back in the rest room, Abu didn't show any displeasure. Instead, he took the initiative to say, "Everyone did their best in this game. Except for Clearlove, everyone played well. Take a break and have some water!"

"What do you mean everyone else played well except me? I didn't give away any opportunities!" the factory manager said, somewhat displeased.

Li Chen spoke on Abu's behalf: "You played quite well. In nearly forty minutes, you only used your ultimate three times, two of which were for escaping. Tell me, what were you trying to do?"

"What can I do? The bot lane keeps sending me there, how am I supposed to go? The enemy jungler keeps invading my jungle, the top lane can't come, and the mid laner can't either..."

The factory manager spread his hands and began chanting his own personal Bible, emphasizing something he himself found quite helpless.

"Stop, stop, stop. So you know you're not having a good time in the mid lane? Then tell me why you're not having a good time. Scout forced an invasion of the enemy jungle at level four, was that your signal?"

Tell me what you gained from going into the enemy jungle? You couldn't even win a smite fight, and you lost most of the wave's experience in mid lane for nothing. You didn't give any feedback. How is Scout supposed to play? Stop thinking about that damn raptor, okay?

Li Chen saw everything clearly from below the stage. Everyone played with some problems in this game, but the Factory Manager's problems were particularly serious.

Is it even humanly possible for a level 4 Gragas to invade Lee Sin's jungle?

If it were when he was playing, it would be fine, because he had lane priority, and the opposing jungler wouldn't dare to fight him in the top half of the map, allowing Clearlove to roam freely.

But Ah Guang is no good. The factory manager still plays the same way he did when he was on the field. How can he beat the opponent like that?

After being brutally pounded on the breasts by Li Chen, the factory manager fell silent and stood there fidgeting with his fingers.

"Listen to me for the next game. Scout will play LeBlanc, the jungler will protect mid and pressure the opponent, then focus on ganking bot lane. Flash Wolves' Mimi is just average, let him farm freely..."

Li Chen immediately began to arrange tactics, and the entire lounge was silent, with everyone obediently listening to his instructions.

Near the end, Li Chen couldn't resist making a threat: "Kasa isn't your average jungler. Clearlove, if you invade the enemy jungle again next game and give them another chance, I'll post nude photos of you when we get back."

"Damn, you really posted my nude photos." The factory manager couldn't help but complain, but he didn't dare to disobey.

After a two-game break, today's fifth game is EDG vs. Flash Wolves.

Flash Wolves are a strong team and definitely have the ability to make it to the knockout stage. Without Li Chen playing, EDG can't say they are very confident of winning.

Before the match started, the commentators didn't dare to say anything that they were too optimistic about EDG. They could only say some uninformative things like "they have a great chance" and "play it safe and you'll win".

However, in the later matches, EDG implemented the tactical ideas explained by Li Chen and actually played quite well, without repeating the mistakes of the previous game.

The factory manager initiated a strategy of protecting the mid lane, establishing an advantage around the mid lane throughout the game, and helped Scout secure the first blood in just four minutes.

Afterwards, the mid and jungle coordinated to give back the advantage to the bottom lane, allowing Zet's Kalista to level up as well, and finally they successfully won the game.

In the subsequent interview, LPL interviewed Clearlove, and naturally the topic of whether Li Chen could play tomorrow came up. Clearlove directly stated that he would not, because he had not yet recovered from his illness.

However, this time netizens didn't have such a big opinion. After all, they had already lost a game, and their dream of winning the championship with a perfect record was shattered. Whether they played in the group stage or not was no longer important.

On the last day of the group stage, EDG played SKT in the second match and GAM in the fifth match, winning one and losing one of the two matches.

The game they lost was naturally against SKT. Peanut and Faker's mid-jungle synergy suppressed EDG's mid-jungle. Dafei, in his demon form, played LeBlanc and dominated the entire game, almost killing everyone. He showed his junior why he couldn't be a starter on SKT.

In the final group stage match, SKT finished first with a record of nine wins and one loss, EDG finished second with eight wins and two losses, and G2 and Flash Wolves finished third and fourth with five and four wins respectively.

According to the MSI knockout stage grouping rules, SKT will face Flash Wolves, and EDG will face G2 to determine the two teams that will advance to the finals.

The subsequent semi-finals will be held at the Rio Olympic Stadium. After arriving in Rio, the teams immediately began training matches.

However, at this point, everyone didn't have many opponents to choose from for scrims. EDG could only scrim with Flash Wolves, while SKT scrimmed with G2. The two sides basically didn't interfere with each other and practiced separately.
