On the loading screen, the SKT players were momentarily confused as they looked at the opposing team's hero lane assignments.

Bang, eager to put on a good show, looked at the Ziggs, then at the Kalista, and asked in confusion, "EDG...didn't they have time to switch champions? Are they going to restart?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Faker recovered, his expression gradually darkening: "They didn't forget to switch lanes; that was their original plan. Kalista was for top lane, and Ziggs was just there to supplement magic damage."

Upon hearing this, Huni paused for a moment before saying, "Should I fight Vengeful Spear?"

Before the game even started, Huni was already getting excited. To be honest, he wanted to book a plane ticket home right now. He just missed home.

"Don't rush, we have a great chance in this game. With EDG's lineup, Kalista is definitely their core. We just need to target her. As long as Kalista falls behind in development, we will definitely win."

Faker spoke calmly, encouraging his teammates while also boosting his own morale.

Even though it was Faker who said it, the rest of SKT felt it was somewhat unrealistic.

Targeting Li Chen?

This is easier said than done. If Li Chen were really that easy to target, could EDG have maintained a winning streak until today?

In previous matches, G2 had attempted to gank top lane with five players, but what were the results?

Not only was Li Chen's development unaffected, but the rest of EDG also developed rapidly. In the end, Li Chen didn't even need to perform; G2 was eliminated as soon as the time was up.

Faker turned to Peanut and said seriously, "Wanghu, we need you in the top lane this game. We can't let God_C develop unchecked, or it will be very dangerous."

Peanut knew what was important, took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "Sang-hyeok-hyung, he picked Kalista top lane because he looked down on me. I'll make him understand what happens when you disrespect a jungler."

"You can go ahead and taunt all you want in the top lane. I've got this game all figured out for this little Kha'Zix." Clearlove grinned, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

After several matches at MSI, Clearlove's psychological shadow over Peanut has clearly dissipated considerably.

Li Chen took a sip of his chilled "happy fairy water," leisurely finished buying equipment, and controlled his Vengeful Spear to run towards the top lane.

He's very familiar with using AD carries against Shen, a punching bag. He can steal the bush at level one and the game will immediately start counting down.

From God's perspective, SKT, with the crowd control provided by Nautilus in their lineup, aggressively invaded EDG's lower jungle at level one.

Titan positioned himself near the river entrance on both sides, using vision control to flash and hook, attempting to create some momentum. Fortunately, Zet was prepared and reacted quickly, using his Flash in time.

However, since the support's Flash was swapped for the AD's Flash, it can be considered a win.

After the Titan lost its hook, SKT didn't pursue it further, and immediately retreated after placing wards in two key positions.

They didn't plan to exchange jungle camps with EDG in this game; this move was simply to provide vision and check Clearlove's jungle movement.

Li Chen crouched in the top lane blue side bush, taking in the entire battle taking place in the lower half of the map. After a moment's thought, he said, "Clearlove, don't tell me you didn't see anything."

The factory manager snorted and said, "Opponents I've studied can't escape my grasp. Meiko, clear the blue buff ward, and leave the other one alone. I'll counter-gank top lane at level three."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen's lips curled into a slight smile.

It has to be said that the factory manager is really good at playing against familiar opponents when he has the upper hand; he was able to quickly identify that this was a smokescreen from SKT.

On the other side, SKT watched as Clearlove walked up the bush behind the wolf camp, using the vision provided by their camp. Wolf was slightly taken aback: "Is Clearlove going to initiate in the top jungle? And he's going over our vision like that?"

However, Peanut confidently said, "It's okay, the factory manager is just lying to us. He will definitely go down to the blue buff area as soon as he leaves the vision. He is doing this to make me think that he is starting in the top half of the jungle, but in reality he will rush to level 3 in the bottom half."

But I won't fall for that. This game, I'm going to farm in the top half of the map and gank top lane at lightning speed, so he won't have time to support. Otherwise, if I wait until he's level three, I might not have the chance anymore, and it's hard to say what the top lane will be like at level three."

Faker watched Peanut confidently go to the blue buff, wanting to say something, but he wasn't sure what to say.

He's been studying Li Chen and Scout lately, paying little attention to the factory manager. Peanut must be more familiar with the factory manager's habits.

Soon, the minions on both top lanes were online, and both junglers simultaneously started attacking their respective top side buffs.

Li Chen crouched in the bushes, watching the minion wave come online without making a move, and staring coldly at Huni, who was swaying left and right in front of the tower.

Although Huni didn't see the Spear of Revenge, he could guess with his toes that Li Chen was definitely waiting for him at Yicao.

He wasn't planning to farm the minion wave; he'd just go up and sniff out the experience points later, waiting for Peanut to gank him at level three.

Seeing that the melee minions' health was almost gone and Huni wasn't coming up, Li Chen knew that Huni was really not going to fight the minions anymore, so he simply left the bushes and started last-hitting them.

Seeing Vengeful Spear turn around to farm minions, Huni quickly stepped forward to check the experience points, and he positioned himself at the perfect distance, not giving Li Chen a chance to whittle down Li Chen's health.

If Li Chen went up to attack from this position, he would attract the minions' aggro and disrupt his last-hitting rhythm, so Li Chen didn't have any intention of forcibly harassing them.

Li Chen finished off the three melee minions with a single Q while they were still low on health, then immediately moved into the bushes and pushed forward, while Huni obediently retreated.

"Heh, you like letting loose so much? Fine, I'll give you a chance!"

This time, Li Chen didn't crouch in the grass. Instead, he stood directly behind the blue team's ranged minions and started actively attacking the minions and pushing the lane.

Seeing this, Huni immediately exclaimed with delight, "God_C is pushing the lane aggressively. He couldn't hold back any longer. Peanut is coming to gank at level three!"

Soon the second wave of minions arrived. At this time, the jungler's progress was a little slower than Kha'Zix's, but not by much. However, the jungler still gave him a heads-up.

"The Mantis should reach level three a little faster than me. You'll have to stall for time and wait for me to get there."

"Know!"

Li Chen responded softly and accelerated his push on the lane again. He wanted to block the minion wave in front of the blue team's tower before the third wave of minions came online, and then buy Sejuani time to ambush.
