League: Educating LPL is my duty.

After the first game, SKT's first priority is to stabilize the team members' emotions and try not to affect their subsequent performance, while EDG, as the victor, only needs to review the game.

In the break room, Abu stood behind Li Chen, massaging his shoulders, while Nofe analyzed the situation of the game for his teammates.

"In the last game, SKT did well in the early game overall, but as the pressure on the top lane increased, they started making various mistakes, and the bottom lane clearly wanted too much in this wave..."

After listening to nofe's seemingly professional analysis, Li Chen nodded slightly: "We've figured out how we won the last game. Now we need to figure out how to win the next game. SKT can't let Huni pick warrior heroes every game."

Nofe immediately said, "I think a full-map strategy is more suitable. It increases synergy, turning the top lane advantage into pressure on SKT, which in turn brings an advantage to the whole team. The core of this is rapid support. What do you think, C-God?"

"If the mid laner needs to balance laning strength and support, there are very few champions they can pick. SKT will most likely ban Jayce and Galio in the next game, and they might even ban Nocturne. Taliyah alone isn't that much of a threat."

Li Chen's main focus was on the mid lane. Faker performed very well this game, especially in terms of mechanics. He pressured Scout so much in the lane that Scout couldn't even lift his head. No one can guarantee that Scout will be able to hold on in the next game.

Scout lowered his head, too embarrassed to speak. He knew he had lost the laning phase this game; Faker was putting a lot of pressure on him. Although there wasn't a significant difference in skill between them, there was definitely something missing.

Li Chen was unaware of Scout's thoughts; otherwise, he would have comforted him by saying, "You've done a great job."

After all, the Flying Emperor may be old, but he's young at heart. Even at thirty, he's still crushing all sorts of geniuses. At this age, when the Flying Emperor is in good form, he can only win by using cheat codes.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chen said, "Let's reveal our hand in the next round, win the second round, and then we'll have the third round all to ourselves."

"C God, you mean... the incense burner?"

"right!"

Li Chen nodded. The teams hadn't really realized how terrifying this equipment was yet, but as someone who had been through it, he knew the Incense Burner all too well.

Can you believe that an AD Ashe can stand and fight a top laner?

If the opponent's damage is even slightly lower, they might not even be able to take any damage.

The break ended quickly, and both teams returned to the stage. EDG seemed relaxed, since their trump card was meant to score points.

On the contrary, SKT is not so relaxed. After all, if they lose this game, they will be down 2-0, and after 2-0, there is a high possibility that they will be down 3-0.

So they have no way out.

"Alright, welcome back to the game. After a short break, the second game of the MSI finals is about to begin. Currently, our EDG team is leading by one point, which is still very favorable for us," Miller said at the start.

Rita chimed in, "That's right, but we can't be careless. After all, their opponent is SKT. EDG still needs to be careful in the upcoming matches."

"As I said before, let's trust first and then trust again. EDG won't let us down. Alright, both sides have started banning champions. SKT has chosen the blue side this game, so let's ban Jayce first."

Guan Zeyuan looked at the big screen, but the first EDG player's avatar was slow to appear, seemingly unwilling to continue the previous strategy of banning Caitlyn.

However, after a brief moment of thought, the policewoman was carried away; after all, she had long arms and couldn't be kept around.

[This Jayce player is practically living in a paradise; I wonder if I'll ever get to see a carry play Jayce in a game again.]

EDG can't be careless; SKT is still quite formidable.

[Just watch C perform well, that's all. I've already paid in full for the car, a 3-0 score. I'll wait until I finish the payment to buy a house.]

Brother, a little gambling is harmless fun!

Not knowing the outcome is gambling; knowing the outcome is investing!

On the SKT bench, Kkoma, seeing Caitlyn banned, nodded slightly and said, "EDG is still using the same old strategy, ban Nocturne!"

Nightmare was subsequently traded, marking the first time he's been promoted to the rebounding position this season.

When the factory manager saw that Nightmare had been dealt with, he immediately laughed: "Oh ho, it seems SKT is sensible after all, they really know to deal with my Nightmare."

Li Chen glanced at the factory manager speechlessly: "Don't make me laugh. He's after the heroes, not you. He can farm jungle monsters, use his ultimate, scatter some rice on his keyboard, or even catch a chicken. Know your place."

"You little brat, all you ever do is badmouth me." Faced with Li Chen's well-intentioned reminder, the factory manager chose to respond with harsh words, a typical example of someone who doesn't appreciate kindness.

But despite the commotion, the hero still has to be honored.

EDG didn't want to reveal themselves too early in this game, so they continued to target Graves discreetly.

On the other hand, SKT naturally wouldn't let Galio off the hook either. After all, those who know, know. Letting EDG play him was too outrageous. In the mid-game, it was like giving Li Chen an extra big item.

For the last player to be selected, EDG gave the spot to LeBlanc, still respecting Faker's individual performance.

Then it was SKT's turn to pick first. Kkoma thought for a moment and said, "Let's pick support first, Nautilus. We need a support who can initiate team fights."

Seeing SKT display the Titan icon, Meiko was somewhat surprised: "Isn't SKT targeting the double-Glacial duo this game?"

"Ultimately, the dual-pole strategy is still for stabilizing the lane. They couldn't even target the bottom lane in the last game, so what's the point of having a dual-pole strategy?"

Li Chen sniffed and said, "No need to think about it, just give them Vengeance Spear and Lulu."

EDG quickly locked in two heroes, with Kalista being the one that Kkoma was most concerned about.

He didn't expect that even though he had released the dual polar combination, EDG would not pick it, but instead picked Kalista and Lulu, a combination that EDG had not used at all during the entire MSI.

"The Spear of Vengeance, does EDG want to play the laning phase?"

Koma couldn't help but scratch his head. Facing a team like EDG that doesn't use the meta heroes, he was always afraid of being set up in a trap during the draft phase.

Faker spoke up, "Coach, let's stick to our team fight strategy. We can't keep up with EDG's variations right now, so we can only play our own game."

Upon hearing this, Koma patted Faker on the shoulder and said, "Sang-hyeok is right. We can't let EDG lead us astray. Let's pick Syndra, and then the AD carry can continue building Twitch. We'll gamble on the late game."

The reason for having Faker pick Syndra was to ensure wave clear and overall team fighting strength in the early and mid-game, while Twitch is relied upon in the late game. Kkoma couldn't think of a better way to play.
