League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Guan Zeyuan continued to praise: "Since C God took over the command of EDG, EDG's operation is too smooth. They have found the loopholes in SKT's attack. Now the ones in danger are Faker and Peanut."

Rita, watching the team flanking Faker and Peanut on the screen, said, "EDG doesn't want to let SKT's mid and jungle leave. Taliyah has entered the jungle to block the path, and Nautilus is in front. Is there any chance to engage?"

[If we win this round, we'll have it in the first game, right?]

Don't worry, even if you lose, you'll still have something!

[Faker is clearly getting desperate; he's going to fight even if he can't reach the top lane.]

[Will Huni get another chance to play after MSI?]

At this point, Faker and Peanut had retreated to the Krugs position. The stone wall behind them collapsed, and SKT's bot lane duo quickly moved forward.

But at that moment, Nightmare entered the area and activated his ultimate. Without vision, Faker could only stick close to Peanut.

"I've opened it!"

Meiko shouted and used Flash, throwing her Q skill at the two. Peanut didn't have time to move and was reluctant to use Flash, so he was hooked by Nautilus.

After using Q to pull the enemy in, Meiko used his ultimate on the nearby Cassiopeia, then followed up with a basic attack on Lee Sin to apply crowd control.

The factory manager seized the opportunity and flew directly towards Faker with his ultimate. Zet also used his ultimate on Cassiopeia, followed by crowd control.

Faker remained unusually calm despite the siege. He glanced at Bang's screen next to him, confirmed their positions, and said, "Ultimate to kick Nocturne. You go forward and deal damage."

Without hesitation, Peanut used his ultimate (R-Flash) after Nightmare landed, bringing Nightmare to Taliyah's side and knocking up Nautilus along the way.

At this point, Faker's health was already very low. Scout approached the battlefield and deployed a stone-sprinkling formation, while simultaneously using his abilities to try and bring Faker back.

However, Faker's crowd control had already ended by then, and Ashe's ultimate was too close in range to stun him for long.

However, due to the slow effect applied to him, Faker's movement speed is very slow now, and he cannot dodge the attack simply by moving around.

But just as he was about to be lifted up by Taliyah, Faker decisively turned his head and used Flash.

Ah!

With a skill effect sound, Faker flashed directly onto Taliyah and Nocturne, and simultaneously used his ultimate to petrify them.

Peanut then used his W ability to dodge Faker's attack, allowing them to work together to deal damage to Nocturne and quickly kill him. However, Faker and Peanut were also taken down by EDG at the same time.

The SKT bot lane duo, arriving late, used all their skills to finish off the low-health Taliyah. After exchanging a few words with the EDG bot lane duo, they realized that neither could defeat the other, so they tacitly decided to call it quits and return to their respective bases.

Thus, this five-man gank from SKT turned into a four-on-four team fight, ending with a two-for-two exchange.

Both sides lost their mid and jungle duos simultaneously, and in each case, the mid and bot laners each got a kill, almost a mirror image.

But this outcome is almost unacceptable for SKT.

This was their last chance to counterattack, but unfortunately they failed to achieve the desired effect. From then on, they basically lost the ability to actively seek opportunities and could only passively take hits.

Looking back at the top lane, although neither side had their ultimate abilities available, Fiora was still four levels behind Riven, a huge gap. She could only watch helplessly as Li Chen forcibly destroyed the second top lane tower.

Faker immediately headed to the top lane after respawning, but ultimately failed to catch Riven.

"Sang-hyuk hyung, how should we split the map now? Should we switch to the mid lane?" Bang asked.

Fifteen minutes have passed now, and they should have switched from bot lane to mid lane by now, but for various reasons they haven't done so yet.

Although Faker no longer believed there was any hope of winning this game, he still thought about it seriously and said, "You guys go mid, I'll come too, Peanut will come with us, we'll group up and push the mid tower, Huni you push the top lane."

"What about the bottom lane?" Peanut asked.

Faker confidently stated, "EDG will definitely group up and push down the bottom lane next. Riven's Flash is almost ready, and we definitely can't win if we try to defend the tower. Let's push mid first and exchange resources to see if we can force them to retreat."

Even when facing a huge disadvantage, Faker's thinking remained clear, and he accurately judged EDG's actions, knowing that the next few minutes would be EDG's offensive rounds, and they could only passively defend and exchange resources.

But this was of no use and couldn't change the situation.

"Scout, you continue to mid lane. Remember to keep vision here. Meiko, you two come with me to bot lane. Clearlove, invade the bottom jungle, push down the bot lane and then take the dragon."

When Riven appeared in the bottom lane with her bot lane duo, SKT had already grouped up in the mid lane, but neither side was willing to give up their offensive and defensive strategies.

The factory manager, with a rebellious streak, hesitated and said, "SKT is also grouping up to push mid. How about we go to mid to fight? Trading mid and bot towers is a bit of a loss."

Li Chen directly rejected his suggestion: "Why bother with team fights? Keep pushing down. Just focus on farming your jungle monsters and follow my lead later."

Upon hearing this, the factory manager tilted his head and glanced at Li Chen, just as Li Chen turned to look at him. However, from Li Chen's eyes, he saw nothing but threat.

"You have the photos, so you're right, okay?" The factory manager rolled his eyes and obediently went into the SKT jungle.

"Then be a good boy and listen to me!"

Li Chen could think of any tactic SKT could think of, after all, his awareness wasn't built up for nothing, and he hadn't read Sun Tzu's Art of War for nothing.

This was a trap he left for SKT. If it's not handled well, this game will end faster than anyone expects.

Then a very strange scene unfolded on both sides: all ten people were alive, but no one was guarding the tower.

EDG quickly pushed down the first tower in the bottom lane, and then continued to advance towards the second tower, advancing all the way in without any defense.

In the mid lane, facing SKT's group push, EDG, despite having the advantage, could only watch helplessly as SKT pushed the tower. Although Taliyah used a few skills, they had little impact and couldn't even clear the minion wave.

The commentators were a bit confused by this scene. Miller frowned slightly and said, "Is EDG going to trade towers with SKT? But they're the team with the advantage, and trading a mid-lane tower for a bottom-lane tower, isn't that a bit of a waste?"

Of the three lanes of defensive towers, the one in the middle lane is the most important—that's a consensus!

Similarly, when the advantageous party and the disadvantaged party exchange resources, it is a consensus that the advantageous party will suffer a loss.
