League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Seeing Huni cross the minion wave and even act as if she didn't want him to gain experience, Li Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he had already made a judgment in his mind.

He was certain that Peanut hadn't ganked top at level two, otherwise Fiora wouldn't have played like that.

So, with three or four seconds left before his Q skill refreshed, Li Chen decisively changed direction and headed upwards, moving towards the wall above.

Seeing this, Huni quickly adjusted his direction and ran upwards, wanting to use his Q to exploit the weakness and then return, otherwise he would also miss the minions.

As the distance between the two closed, Fiora still managed to use her Q, hitting Riven's weak point and dealing damage while gaining a speed boost, allowing her to quickly retreat.

Li Chen, however, was in no hurry and slowly followed behind Fiora, not even using his Q skill when it was ready.

Seeing that Li Chen was holding back his skills and not using them, instead of chasing after her with his Q skill as she had expected, Huni was now in a bind.

At this point, the second wave of minions had already arrived, and the ranged minions were also low on health. Huni now faced two choices.

The first option is to stop and engage Riven head-on, trading blows and forcibly taking down the minions.

But he definitely can't beat her like that. Riven has her skills, and he also took damage from minions, so he's probably losing a lot of health. Plus, the newly refreshed passive is to the upper left of Riven, a position he can't reach without his skills.

The second option is to retreat and wait for your skills to cool down. This way, you won't lose health, but you will lose minions.

In a short moment, Huni quickly weighed the pros and cons and finally chose to retreat temporarily to conserve her health.

Seeing that Fiora had only managed to kill a low-health minion before continuing to run away, Li Chen immediately activated his Q to follow up. He used the first part of his Q to close the distance, then positioned himself to use the second part of his Q when Fiora was close to the minion, dealing damage while consuming the minion.

Huni didn't turn around and fight Riven. He felt that Riven had a passive ability, and he would be the one to suffer if they went at each other.

Li Chen didn't pursue them too far. After using his second Q followed by a basic attack, he wiped out all three ranged minions and immediately retreated.

Throughout this entire ordeal, Li Chen never revealed his three-stage Q ability.

The Fiora was chasing him earlier, which drew the minions' fire and disrupted the minion wave balance. Now that he's taken out the ranged minions, he's just bringing the wave balance back on track.

However, the second wave of minions is too close at this time, and releasing the third knock-up will hit the minions, which will completely affect the minion wave situation and inevitably lead to a fast push.

With Peanut in the top half of the map, he can't push the lane right now.

Huni's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon seeing Li Chen's decisive retreat.

He deliberately pushed Li Chen towards the minion wave so that Riven's skills could hit more minions, thus controlling the minion wave on his side.

However, Li Chen's control over the minion wave was too meticulous. He would rather deal less damage than waste any small skill, which was very frustrating.

However, Li Chen was not idle at this time. Taking advantage of the fact that Fiora was still trying to control the lane and did not intend to last hit minions to reach level two, he turned around and ran into the river bush.

From SKT's perspective, Li Chen clearly went to place a ward in the river, and Huni didn't think much of it and immediately signaled to his teammates.

He also started actively farming minions, wanting to reach level two as soon as possible so he could land a combo when Riven returned.

However, from God's perspective, Riven did not continue forward after entering the bush, but stood at the edge of the bush near the top lane without placing a ward.

On the LPL commentary stage, Miller immediately saw through Li Chen's intention: "Oh dear, SKT has fallen for it. This is C's usual tactic. Knowing that your jungler is in the top half of the map, I pretend to go to the river to place a ward to persuade you to quit."

Guan Zeyuan added with a smile, "It's not exactly faking it. It's mainly because C-God's wards are unpredictable. Sometimes he actually places a ward, and sometimes he fakes it. Nobody knows if he actually placed one this time unless they use a scanner or a real ward to check."

"So this wave is... like a sudden insertion?" Rita said with a hint of doubt.

"Cough cough cough!"

This sounded a bit ambiguous, so Miller quickly coughed twice to end the conversation: "Back to the game, Huni seized the opportunity when C was away from his lane to secure level two, and then blocked the road to prevent C from returning easily."

Level 2 vs. Level 1, how should C-God handle this? He didn't rush back, but waited a while at the river mouth before coming out. Huni came up to fight, but the opening spawned in the bottom right corner. C-God was still circling around, and didn't want to be caught out by an attack.

"We need to fight here. It's unclear what skill Huni leveled up to at level two. C God started with AQ and executed the combo very quickly. Huni's QA created an opening... C God also leveled up to level two. He stalled for time, and some minions were killed."

"Both sides are trading blows fiercely, but they're still holding back, not revealing any of their level 2 skills. They're still kiting, isn't C God saving his third Q? Time's almost up?"

The exchange of blows in the top lane was tense at this point, and neither of them used their skills carelessly.

However, in Li Chen's view, Huni's behavior was somewhat like burying one's head in the sand.

A Fiora who doesn't use any skills at level 2, what else could it be but W? Do you really want to use W to block his Q3?

Has Huni forgotten that Riven's W ability is instantaneous?

"Is this huni trying to be funny?"

Li Chen felt that even Platinum players couldn't pull off such a pig-nose maneuver, but now that the damage was almost gone, it was indeed time to end the game.

So Li Chen stopped arguing with Huni, seized the opportunity when Fiora raised her hand for a basic attack, used W to stun Fiora without delay to interrupt her, and then immediately followed up with Q3 on the spot, dealing two control effects. He didn't greed for basic attacks and immediately retreated.

Huni didn't react in time; he was still thinking about how to use his W to control Riven and get a solo kill or suppress her.

As a result, after Riven finished this fight, he was clearly at a significant health disadvantage, with a difference of nearly 200 health. What's even more terrifying is that the minion wave is now pushing towards the blue side. If there is no jungler to intervene, it seems like he's going to collapse again.

"Damn it!" Huni looked at Riven, who had returned to the minion wave and was stuck in the lane, and felt like ants were crawling all over his body.

His health is already low; Riven's next combo with W-Flash will be an execute, so he needs to drink a health potion first.

Even so, he no longer dares to trade blows with Riven, and he doesn't even dare to get too close to her. He can only eat minions on the outer edges to survive passively.

So now he needs to figure out how to get Peanut up there so he can help push the minion wave forward.

Huni opened her mouth, but didn't know how to start.

He and Peanut have had quite a few conflicts these past two days, and before the match he confidently declared that he could definitely suppress Li Chen. Now it's indeed a bit difficult for him to ask Peanut for help in breaking the lane.

And at this very moment, the legendary overseer Faker once again stepped forward.
