League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Upon hearing this, Perkz's forehead immediately turned black.

He can at least sniff out the minion wave when facing Jayce, since it's a one-on-one situation and the mid lane is short. But if he's facing the bot lane duo, he probably won't even be able to sniff out the experience.

Expect was also unimpressed with the suggestion: "It's okay, guys. Although I had a tough time, as long as you guys can get back up, my sacrifice will be worth it."

Mithy chimed in at the opportune moment: "I think we can switch back to level three now; there's no point in us laning against this Karma."

As perkz listened to the others chatting, and then looked at Jayce, who was blocking his tower and ready to fire at him at any moment, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.

"Hey guys, I have a bold idea. How about we switch lanes later? Mithy, you two go back to bot lane, I'll go top lane to fight Karma, and Malphite will go mid lane to fight Jayce. What do you think?"

Perkz's thinking was simple: given the current situation, it would become increasingly difficult for him to play in the mid lane. As both sides leveled up, his game would eventually turn into a game of dodging cannonballs under the tower.

Malphite also had a tough time against Karma, since Karma is a magic-based champion, which is why he considered switching lanes again.

Just as the rest of G2 were considering the feasibility of this idea, Li Chen seized the opportunity when Yao Ji approached the wall of the bird pit and suddenly made his move.

Shockwave!

The QE double-shot acceleration cannon hit LeBlanc, and her health dropped significantly the instant it hit her.

Expect, who was dancing under the bottom lane tower, witnessed this scene and, after considering it for a moment, agreed: "I think it's a good idea. When do we switch lanes?"

"Let's wait for the second wave of cannon minions. The bottom lane can go back to base early, since you won't be able to get any minions anyway," Perkz quickly made his decision.

No one else offered any further opinions. After all, given the current situation, their chances of winning this round were slim. They might as well try more things, which might have unexpected results.

After realizing he wouldn't be facing Jayce in lane, Perkz became increasingly cautious, trying to hold out until the second wave of cannon minions before returning to base.

With the mid lane being short, Perkz's playstyle did indeed prevent Li Chen from finding opportunities for a solo kill, but Perkz also had to sacrifice his own last-hitting.

Therefore, in just three and a half minutes, LeBlanc was nine CS behind Jayce, which can be described as a complete failure in the laning phase.

In the European live stream, Dracos watched the laning phase on all three lanes and shook his head in frustration: "G2's lane-swap strategy was exploited by EDG, and now none of the three lanes are performing as expected."

"God, this is terrible. God_C has extended his dominance in the top lane to the mid lane. Perkz has completely lost the initiative in terms of CS and lane control. This is the first time this has happened in this World Championship."

Another commentator, Oakes, said seriously: "I think G2 needs to get the laning phase back as soon as possible. The mid lane is at a disadvantage, and in this situation, they can't afford to lose the bottom lane tower too quickly, otherwise this game might end even faster than the last one."

[Oh, look what our G2 is doing, a lane swap game, is that even a human being could come up with a tactic?]

What is Perkz doing? Why is LeBlanc being suppressed so much by Jayce in the early game?

[GodC is terrifying, and EDG's teamwork is even better.]

You should look at that poor Lee Sin; he doesn't even dare to enter his own jungle.

With the second wave of cannon minions arriving, G2's top lane duo had absolute lane control, quickly clearing the minion wave and pushing under the tower before recalling into the bushes.

This was also Perkz's deliberate instruction: first, let Karma push back the lane, and then call the jungler to ambush her.

When Caitlyn and Nautilus show up in the bottom lane, it indicates that the top and bottom lanes have swapped the minion waves back. Faced with this pushback and the lane opponent changing to Malphite, Karma can't possibly remain unmoved.

With Karma no longer having teleport, anyone would likely push the minion wave forward before recalling to base.

At that point, a Karma who is out-leveled will have little chance of escaping from him and the Lee Sin.

And as long as he gets the first blood, he can make up for all the disadvantages he had against Jayce in the early game.

However, as all three paths of G2 disappeared simultaneously, Li Chen's keen senses once again detected that something was wrong.

He understands that the top and bottom laners should recall to base to replenish supplies and switch lanes back at the same time, and G2 should indeed do that.

However, Perkz played very cautiously in the early game and drank both potions, so his condition wasn't that bad. Why would he suddenly choose to recall at this time, without even clearing the minion wave?

Something was definitely amiss, and Li Chen became alert, quickly scanning the minion waves on all three lanes.

The mid and bot lanes are fine, but Karma is currently clearing the minion wave under the tower in the top lane, which will obviously create a pushback wave soon.

"Should we push the lane back and gank?"

Li Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately returned to the city. Then he sent a signal to the factory manager who was farming jungle monsters: "Factory manager, stop farming your damn jungle monsters and go counter-gank top lane. We might get some kills this time."

"Understood." After hearing this, the factory manager decisively abandoned the jungle monsters and headed to the top lane.

At the same time, Li Chen said to Scout, "Nacan, control the push speed. The enemy might switch LeBlanc to the top lane this time and gank you with Lee Sin. Clearlove and I will counter-gank. We'll use your control ward and see if there's any vision on the lane."

"clear!"

Upon receiving the instruction, Scout immediately began controlling the lane push speed and placed his only control ward in the top lane blue side bush.

And Li Chen's advice was indeed correct. G2's support player had a good habit of leaving wards in lane, and he really did leave vision in the bushes before leaving.

However, this vision was blocked, which did not attract G2's attention.

After all, Karma in the top lane needs to push forward alone, so placing a ward to prevent G2's bot lane duo from pretending to go back to base and actually hiding in the bush to ambush him is quite reasonable.

As both sides began their second operational adjustments for the game, the LPL live stream chat exploded with excitement.

Miller said with an incredulous expression, "No way, what is EDG doing? You can see that C-God and Clearlove are rushing to the top lane, and G2's mid and jungle are also going to the top lane."

Guan Zeyuan clicked his tongue: "This is a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. G2 wanted to use the top lane push to ambush Karma, but EDG seemed to have guessed what G2 was going to do, so they were also making moves at the same time."

"This is too exaggerated. How did EDG guess that G2 would move LeBlanc to the top lane and Malphite to the mid lane? This prediction really saved their lives."

Miller echoed, "It can only be said that EDG's lane swap at the beginning and their subsequent counter-gank are truly strokes of genius. G2's tactics have been repeatedly predicted by EDG, and they will pay the price for it."
