League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Nofe, standing behind Li Chen, asked, "Do we really have to pick her? Renekton and Poppy are still outside. If the enemy doesn't use Fiora, won't things get a bit difficult?"

Li Chen smiled, hovered the mouse over a profile picture, and said, "Let's use her. No matter what Huni chooses, the result won't make any difference."

As the mouse button was clicked, a woman with short white hair and carrying a broken sword appeared in front of the big screen.

The day the broken sword is reforged will be the day the knight returns!

The moment Riven locked in, the audience erupted in cheers.

During the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, although Li Chen never played Riven in a match, his highlights from the Spring Split still earned him the reputation of being the world's best Riven player on foreign websites.

Now that it has finally been used in the competition, everyone is naturally very happy to see it.

Similarly, this put pressure on SKT. Even if Kkoma didn't want Huni to pick Fiora, he had to consider the impact.

Seeing Huni turn around and look at him, Koma sighed silently and said, "Let's use Fiora, Huni. Don't let everyone down. You know, everyone is under a lot of pressure to use Fiora."

Huni disagreed, believing that he had earned this opportunity through his own abilities.

He was the one who suppressed Li Chen's Riven with Fiora during Li Chen's live stream. What does that have to do with anyone else?

However, he didn't dare to contradict the coach, and could only go along with it, saying, "Coach, don't worry, I won't let you down."

After clicking the OK button, Fiora's image appeared on the screen.

The same players, the same heroes, just swapped out, plus their pre-match trash talk, this top lane match was destined to be a spectacle.

After locking in Fiora, Koma immediately said, "Let's pick Lulu. The bot lane will be responsible for the core damage output in the late game. Sang-hyeok, try to come out late, control the lane, and help the team get through the early and mid-game."

Meanwhile, on the LCK commentary stage, the commentator, known as "Roaring Emperor," frowned unusually: "Aigoo, did SKT really give Huni Fiora? That's not very wise. Renekton and Poppy are also out there, so it should be much better."

"This is probably due to comprehensive tactical considerations. After all, Fiora is quite effective against Riven in the laning phase, and she should be stronger than Riven in split pushing in the late game."

"But this statement was made by god_C. Generally speaking, these two heroes don't have a very obvious counter relationship, and Huni's performance at MSI was... rather consistent."

[Damn, what kind of lineup is this? Why would SKT give an idiot like Huni a Fiora pick?]

What are you afraid of? Do you really think that Korean top laners are inferior to LPL top laners?

If the top lane collapses again this game, Huni should swam back.

No, in that case he doesn't need to come back. LCK doesn't need trash like that.

The truck is in position!

Because Huni's performance in the group stage was so poor, the LCK region didn't have high hopes for him. On the contrary, there were many people praising Huni in the LPL channel's chat.

This is going to be interesting. How will this person shift the blame after the match? It's hard to guess!

[His teammates are no good, anyway, if we win, it's always him, if we lose, it's his fault.]

[666, here we go again. Is this how all royal fans fantasize? They're already at their climax before it even starts.]

[That's how it is with the royal fandom, Sister Li!]

While the chat was still debating, EDG had already locked in their support hero, Nautilus.

"Titan's task this game is still to keep an eye on the enemy's carry. I don't think they'll put their hopes on the top lane. The AD carry should still be a late-game carry. The bot lane shouldn't play too aggressively; just focus on farming," Li Chen advised.

Meiko nodded slightly: "Understood, the bottom lane won't give the opponent an easy chance."

The factory manager then spoke up, "So, how should I put it? Is it still a barrel?"

Li Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's get Zet a champion first, Ashe. Listen to my instructions when using E skill, don't use it randomly."

Subsequently, EDG locked in Ashe on the third floor, a choice that was within Kkoma's expectations, since EDG's bot lane only has a limited number of champions they are good at.

Koma closed his notebook, walked between Peanut and Faker, and said, "Let's pick Twitch. The mid and jungle need to act according to the situation in the early game. If the top lane can't break through, then shift the focus to the bottom lane. We must protect one of the top and bottom lanes."

After locking onto the rat, it was time for the second round of interrogation. Without a second thought, Kouma immediately had the wine barrels delivered to the interrogation station.

When the factory manager saw that his hero of the year was gone, his face immediately fell.

The champion he's most confident playing right now is Gragas, mainly because it's easy to synergize with the top lane. It has mobility, crowd control, and forced displacement, allowing him to run, fight, and initiate team fights. He's actually a bit hesitant to pick other champions against SKT.

Nofe, with practiced ease, had Kha'Zix banned, and then SKT banned Syndra as well.

When it came to the last move, after a moment's thought, Li Chen said, "Let's ban Ryze and let Faker pick Cassiopeia."

Upon hearing this, the factory manager asked in confusion, "How did you know Faker would pick Cassiopeia?"

Li Chen glanced at him but didn't say anything. After all, the factory manager's understanding of the mid lane was somewhat worrying, and the other party wouldn't understand even if he explained.

On SKT's side, after seeing EDG ban Ryze, Kkoma frowned: "EDG has a keen sense of smell, they actually guessed that we might use Ryze. In that case, we can only use Cassiopeia."

Faker recalled the first time he faced Li Chen, when Li Chen used a reverse R-flash with Cassiopeia, and felt a sense of unease.

"Did he also discover that Ryze can escape using his ultimate and Zhonya's Hourglass?"

Ryze is a strategy he recently developed that can counter Li Chen's split-pushing tactics in the mid-game.

With the secret maneuver of "golden cicada shedding its shell," no matter how well Li Chen develops, he is confident that he can protect himself while pushing lanes.

Watching SKT lock down Lee Sin, the versatile jungler, on the fourth floor, nofe couldn't help but scratch his head.

"C God, should we build Sejuani for Clearlove this game? If there's only Nautilus left in the late game, the crowd control might not be enough."

After thinking for a moment, Li Chen finally said, "Let's go with Nightmare. Cassiopeia has a reverse R-flash mechanic, and Nightmare's shield can help avoid it. We can also build Taliyah in the mid lane and have a mid-jungle duo."

The factory manager himself didn't particularly like Nightmare, but he didn't object, since the choice wasn't his.

He also knew that the combination of Nightmare, Taliyah, and Nautilus created a strong synergy between the three heroes, allowing them to gank together in the early to mid-game and posing a significant threat to SKT's side lanes.

Later on, it can also form a double lock-on to target AD rats, which is indeed a good choice.
