League: Educating LPL is my duty.

As it turns out, G2, who chose to forgo Baron Nashor to gank Li Chen, did not intend to give up this opportunity for revenge.

Upon seeing Li Chen run towards the higher ground, Perkz immediately assigned tasks to the group.

The bottom lane duo turned right at the blue buff intersection and headed towards their own base along the jungle, aiming to ambush Li Chen from the side.

Then Spider and Crystal Maiden continued to flank from the lane, while Shen also kept an eye on Li Chen, aiming his ultimate wherever Li Chen ran.

G2's plan seemed perfect, taking into account every aspect, but in reality, it was full of loopholes. They overlooked the most fundamental problem: Camille's current combat strength, their damage output, and Galio's global support capabilities.

Li Chen initially didn't know how the opposing team had divided their players, but as he entered the high ground tower according to plan, and then turned around and headed towards the mid-lane high ground, G2's player distribution became clear.

The Ice Maiden had just landed behind him when the Spider was spotted by the ward he had just placed. The only opponents he would encounter around the corner were the bot lane duo, and he could make his move immediately.

When Zven saw Li Chen walking towards him and Titan, he instinctively took a few steps back.

"Hey, Mithy, if you just go for the big one, I'm sure you'll dodge it."

Without hesitation, Mithy unleashed her ultimate move through the wall as soon as Li Chen closed in.

At this moment, Li Chen saw Titan through the minion's vision. At this time, he had a chance to use his ultimate to dodge the attack, but he didn't do so. He wanted to save his ultimate for Ashe.

"Scout, land!"

As he gave Scout the command, Li Chen took the hit from Titan's ultimate attack and was knocked away.

Zven quickly followed up with his ultimate move to continue the control.

Just then, Ice Maiden and Spider arrived near the ruins of the second tower, but the teleportation beam that suddenly appeared in front of them startled them.

"It's Galio, he's coming to rescue them, don't let god_C get away!" perkz frantically signaled to Camille between the mid and bottom lane high ground.

"We haven't done enough damage," Zven said, sounding slightly impatient.

The control chains of Ashe and Nautilus are indeed very strong, but their damage output is far inferior.

After the control time from the two ultimate skills and Titan's passive wore off, they only managed to take down a third of Li Chen's health.

At this point, Crystal Maiden and Spider were still some distance from the high ground, but Crystal Maiden used her E skill, a giant ice claw that slowly pushed into her own base.

Li Chen still didn't make a move, choosing to tank the damage and head towards the mid-lane high ground.

"Don't let him get away!"

Upon hearing Perkz's shout, Mithy used his last crowd control ability.

As the giant iron hook flew towards Li Chen, Perkz also managed to control Crystal Maiden to get behind him using her E skill.

"OK, that's it!"

Li Chen's lips curled up slightly. Even though he only had half health left, he still won this exchange.

Just as Titan's Q skill was about to touch Li Chen, a golden light flashed by, and Camille appeared on the other side of the base wall, face to face with Ashe.

Before Zven could recover, Li Chen controlled Camille to initiate with an AQA combo followed by Ravenous Hydra. Then, in the next second, he predicted and activated his ultimate, leaping high into the air. Together with Ashe, who had used Flash, they arrived back inside the blue team's base.

The ultimate ability created a defensive line that knocked back both Titan and Crystal Maiden, leaving only Li Chen and Ashe in the middle.

Shen, who had been observing the situation in the top lane, quickly activated his ultimate to shield Ashe.

However, the thickness of this shield was clearly insufficient to save Hanbing's life.

After landing his ultimate, Li Chen used a basic attack followed by W, then used his E skill to pull the hook to the side, just managing to hit the outer edge of the ice, dealing damage while healing himself.

Li Chen then immediately followed up with a second E kick, followed by an A to pull Ashe up. Ashe barely survived thanks to Shen's ultimate and her own healing, but she only had one health bar left.

bury!

mercury!

Perkz reacted quickly, unleashing his ultimate ability in an attempt to save Ashe, but Li Chen's reaction and hand speed were even more terrifying.

To others, all they saw was a flash of white light, and then both Lissandra's ultimate and Camille's Quicksilver Sash went into cooldown, leaving them completely unaware of what had happened.

Once the control was broken, Camille lightly raised her foot and kicked at Ashe. Although Titan had applied Weakness before the kick landed, Ashe's health was too low, so Weakness was useless.

After killing Ashe, Camille's health returned to half, but at this moment, Li Chen had no way to dodge anymore as Lissandra activated her W.

Immediately afterwards, Spider, arriving late, passed through the wall to E, preparing to give Li Chen a traditional Thai massage, and work with Ice Maiden and Titan to take down Li Chen.

But just then, a loud bang was heard in the sky, and the hero made a dazzling appearance.

Scout, who had finally teleported to the ground, seized the opportunity and unleashed his ultimate attack on Li Chen, engulfing all four of them.

With his W skill at max level and ultimate ability, Li Chen was given a magic shield worth over 500, which was undoubtedly fatal to the remaining three members of G2 who relied primarily on magic damage for output.

The five hundred-plus magic shields successfully helped Li Chen withstand the first wave of magic damage from the three, preventing him from being knocked down immediately.

Galio then entered the fray, knocking up all three of Crystal Maiden's characters. He then used his E followed by W to continuously control the Spider, giving her no chance to struggle. Together with Li Chen, Galio secured the first kill on the Spider.

At this moment, G2 knew that there was really no chance. Camille's remaining 400-odd health was practically their lifeline.

They can't break through, they simply can't break through.

Facing imminent disaster, G2's mid and support players broke up and chose to go their separate ways. In the end, Li Chen set his sights on Perkz, with Scout tanking the tower and killing the Crystal Maiden under the bottom lane high ground tower.

At this moment, Shen, whose ultimate ability was interrupted by Ashe's death, and who then teleported to the mid-lane inhibitor tower, could only silently press B to recall after seeing the corpses scattered all over his base.

With no one defending the bottom lane high ground, Li Chen and Scout pushed down the turret and began clearing G2's jungle, leaving no resources behind.

Two minutes later, EDG regrouped and, with the Baron buff, began pushing down all three lanes.

After being outmaneuvered by Li Chen, G2 had lost all will to fight and offered almost no decent resistance, allowing EDG to easily destroy their base.

On the commentary stage, watching G2's Nexus explode, Miller said with a smile: "Okay, then let's congratulate EDG. As expected, without any twists and turns, in this BO5 semi-final, EDG easily won the first game thanks to several brilliant roams by top laner Shen."

Overall, this match showed us that there is indeed a gap in strength between the two teams. G2 couldn't keep up with EDG's offensive pace, causing their disadvantage to gradually widen in the early and mid-game.
