League: Educating LPL is my duty.

The game lasted for 32 minutes. Although Li Chen performed well against Fiora in the top lane, he also put in some effort in team fights and ultimately won the game without any major setbacks.

But those with ulterior motives obviously wouldn't let this opportunity slip by so easily. Some were dissecting the case, others were writing short essays, all with one goal: to completely discredit Li Chen.

Meanwhile, in SKT's training room, Kkoma also called Faker over to conduct an in-depth analysis of Huni and Li Chen's laning match.

Faker watched Li Chen's laning phase replay and, although he didn't see anything obvious, he still felt that something was off.

"Was this really God_C playing? He shouldn't be able to beat Huni, right? Why does he seem to be playing very cautiously?" Faker asked, frowning.

Koma glanced at Huni, whose expression looked like she was constipated, and nodded slightly, saying, "This was indeed played by god_C, so is it possible that, in god_C's personal understanding, Riven is simply not good against Fiora?"

Huni couldn't help but say, "I lost to him last time because I was careless and underestimated him. Actually, he's not that good. If we were to really compete, he might not be able to beat me."

As for his frequent advantages during the laning phase in matches, it's simply because he plays aggressively. As experienced top laners, we prefer a stable development strategy rather than gambling on whether we can gain an advantage.

Kkoma didn't say anything, but simply turned his gaze to Faker.

Faker hesitated for a moment before saying, "A player like god_C definitely has his own understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different champions. If he thinks that Fiora can definitely suppress Riven under certain circumstances, then he might be naturally more cautious when using Riven against Fiora."

"Is that so?" Koma asked thoughtfully.

The ripples from the live-streamed match were still spreading across the country, but Li Chen had no time to pay attention to them.

As the date of the finals approaches, the organizers have begun to arrange for the two teams to film pre-match videos, also known as pre-match trash talk.

Furthermore, the popularity of this MSI finals has completely surpassed that of the previous two MSI finals, and is even approaching the popularity of the World Championship.

This is also because both sides in this final match have some legendary aspects.

SKT, as a three-time world champion team that is unprecedented in the history of the league and whose success is hard to say, needs no further explanation in terms of honors and strength.

Although EDG has never won the World Championship and their World Championship journey in the past two years has been quite dismal, they did win the MSI championship during the S5 season.

Furthermore, since Li Chen debuted this year, EDG has not lost a single game in any match featuring Li Chen, which is legendary enough on its own.

Now that the two teams have met again in the MSI finals, it has a touch of destiny about them.

The day before the competition, at 9:00 AM on the 27th (China time), the league officially released the pre-MSI trash talk video on various platforms.

In a university dormitory, four students who skipped class were lying on their beds playing on their phones.

At that moment, a notification popped up on one of their phones. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the pre-match trash talk between SKT and EDG.

"Holy crap, guys, the pre-match trash talk is starting. Turn on your computers right now."

The group of friends were all gaming enthusiasts, and upon hearing this, they all jumped out of bed, gathered around the computer, logged into Weibo, and started watching trash talk videos.

After the Rio logo and the scenery of Rio quickly flashed past the camera, the first person to appear in the frame was Faker's back.

In the dim light, Faker, with his back to the camera, gave a simple opening remark: "EDG is a good opponent, but... just good."

After a brief remark, the camera panned to show Scout on screen: "I used to play for SKT, but now I'll be EDG's mid laner, and I'm going to beat SKT head-on in the game. I believe we can do it."

"I faced Kled at last year's World Championship. He seems to be in better form this year, but that doesn't matter. I believe he still won't dare to pick Lee Sin."

Peanut smiled confidently at the camera, as if he could already see himself defeating Factory Manager.

When it was the factory manager's turn to respond, he sat in his chair, a dark smile playing on his lips beneath his low head: "Last year's failure is etched in my memory, so I'm back again this year. This time, I'll show Little Peanut what it means to be a senior after all."

With the rivalry between the junglers coming to an end, it was time for the two AD carry players to take the stage.

As a veteran and honorary champion in the AD carry scene, Bang, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, exuded the composure of a senior player when facing the camera.

"I remember Zet seems to have just switched from the mid lane to the AD position this year. Although a spring split has passed, he doesn't seem to have really adapted to the AD position yet, and I haven't seen him have any outstanding performances in the games."

AD carries need to practice hard, especially in terms of champion pool; he still has a long way to go. But that's okay. I'll teach him a lesson at the MSI Mid-Season Invitational finals, and I believe he'll learn a lot.

Faced with the champion AD's mockery and lecture, Zet, though lacking confidence himself, knew how to use others as a springboard, directly bringing up his own teammate.

"My teammate god_C told me that as an AD carry, what my teammates need most isn't how outstanding my performance is, but whether I can be a stable player in the team, because for EDG, stability means victory!"

"If what you mean by 'stability' is being able to smell the minion wave experience, then maybe you have a chance, but that's all you can do. I'll make sure you have no chance to shine," Wolf said confidently.

The support player naturally had a response. Meiko blushed slightly, but her words were actually sarcastic: "Wolf is a support player with many honors. I hope he won't be too nervous in the second half of this match, otherwise it will be very boring."

As the lights went out, people watching the video on screens around the world couldn't help but feel excited.

With the mid, bot, jungle, and support all out, the next most anticipated lane is the top lane. Everyone wants to know what Li Chen will say in his trash talk, and he probably won't disappoint them.

The video lights up again, and the first person to appear is Huni, the protagonist of the losing team in the last group stage match.
