League: Educating LPL is my duty.

The SKT players returned to the rest room in silence, where they found Kkoma sitting in a chair, staring blankly at his laptop.

No one spoke; they simply found their own places, some sitting, some standing, and remained silent.

After a long while, Koma sighed and looked up, saying, "Losing this game isn't your fault, it's my fault. Our tactical reserves were simply not enough against EDG. They really taught me a lesson."

Faker didn't say anything, but Bang couldn't help but speak up: "Coach, that Spear of Vengeance is too overpowered, we can't let it out anymore."

"No, it's not that the Spear of Vengeance is a monster!"

Koma shook his head and said, "The core of EDG in this game wasn't actually Kalista, but that unassuming Lulu, or rather, one of Lulu's items: Ardent Censer!"

"Incense burner?" Wolf, as a support, naturally knew about this piece of equipment.

Koma nodded: "That's right, it's the Incense Burner. The stats of this item far exceed our expectations. It's practically the seventh item for an AD carry, or even more outrageous."

"Can we use it?" Bang asked quickly.

Koma nodded, but then shook his head, looking at the others with a puzzled expression.

"We don't have any tactical reserves. The Ardent Censer system can be used, but it may not be as effective. I only realized this problem after you finished the top lane team fight."

Koma said helplessly, "The reason EDG chose Kalista as their AD carry is because Kalista's ultimate can protect the support at any time, but we don't have a system that can match Kalista and Lulu right now."

"Coach, we should try even if we don't have one. We're already down 0-2, what else can we not afford to lose? Since the incense burner is so powerful, we have no reason not to use it. Even if we can win back just one point, that would be great!" Wolf said.

"But can you guarantee that EDG doesn't have a way to counter this lineup? Since EDG used the Ardent Censer system, they will definitely have a way to counter it."

Faker also shook his head. They can use a support that can build Ardent Censer now, but they can't directly copy the Kalista and Lulu combination.

After a pause, Faker added, "Besides Ardent Censer, there's also Scout's Banner of Command. This item is quite unique and could be very useful against a team composition where both the mid and jungle are AP champions."

Meanwhile, an eerie silence fell over the EDG rest area.

Li Chen, as the undisputed "father" of the EDG team, was scanning everyone around with his eyes.

Abu stood aside, quietly waiting for Li Chen's decision. After all, Li Chen had said before that if the final score was 2-0, he would let A Guang play a game.

So now, deciding who to step down is a very important matter.

After a brief moment of thought, Li Chen's gaze finally settled on Zet. He felt it was time to test Zet's loyalty.

Under the camera's lens in the locker room, Li Chen calmly said, "Manager Abu, I think we should make a substitution. Zet has an upset stomach today and is starting to feel the urge. We need to protect the players' health."

Abu looked at Zet, only to see that the other man, who had been stunned at first, quickly turned pale and clutched his stomach.

"Ouch, Manager, my stomach really hurts! I feel like I won't be able to play in the next match. I hope you can understand!"

Abu's lips twitched. He pretended to offer some pleasantries and then submitted the application to replace the person.

Zet had to leave the game to rest due to an upset stomach, so Li Chen reluctantly moved to the AD position, while A Guang replaced him in the top lane.

The organizers couldn't do anything about it, since whether someone was sick or not depended entirely on EDG's word. He just said he had a stomachache, and the hospital couldn't find the cause.

They can't force patients to play in matches, can they?

"Brother Chen, thank you so much! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!" Upon getting another chance to play, A-Guang bowed deeply to Li Chen in gratitude.

Li Chen waved his hand: "What do you mean I'm giving you a chance to play? Zet isn't feeling well, and you're our only substitute. If you don't play, who will? We can't let Zet get exhausted. We still need him for the Summer Split and the World Championship."

However, perhaps it was just an unintentional last sentence that plunged the atmosphere in the lounge into silence once again.

Abu glanced at Zet, who was giving Li Chen a grateful look, and could only silently mourn for someone in his heart for a moment.

Now that their father has made the decision, what can the rest of them say? Of course, they will carry it out without hesitation.

Then, while the others went to the restroom, the factory manager pulled Li Chen aside and asked with a curious look, "Are you really going to let Zet continue as the starter?"

"You're not happy about it?" Li Chen glanced at the factory manager.

The factory manager rolled his eyes: "I didn't say that. Zet has been training quite diligently. Although his laning phase is a little lacking, it's still acceptable."

"Even if my skills are terrible, can they be worse than yours? Don't you think so?"

Li Chen patted the factory manager on the shoulder, said something earnestly, and then turned and left, as if he had made up his mind.

The factory manager froze for a moment, then immediately broke down, unleashing a zero-frame attack: "Hey you **********!"

After the break, both teams returned to their benches, and SKT had already received news that Zet had been substituted.

Koma's expression at this moment wasn't just unpleasant, it was extremely unpleasant.

He originally planned to try his luck with the Time system in this game, but now EDG has changed their roster and this lineup looks very abstract. How can he possibly compete with that?

At the LPL commentary booth, after a brief warm-up, Miller, with a strange expression, took out a backstage notification: "Um... we just received news that EDG's AD carry player Zet has temporarily withdrawn from the match due to stomach discomfort."

Next, C-God will substitute for the AD carry, while substitute A-Guang will play as the top laner. Although there have been some changes to the lineup, EDG is currently leading 2-0, so it seems like there shouldn't be any major problems.

Guan Zeyuan gave a strange smile and said, "Actually, it's alright. It seems that C-God has some experience in being a substitute AD carry."

"That's right, a certain mid-laner who wishes to remain anonymous has a lot to say about this." Rita directly called out a name.

[Cold Young Master: Is this polite to you?]

My stomach is still upset. How many times has it happened this year? The hygiene of EDG's food needs improvement (lol)

[Stomach ache × Want to improve ✓]

[Ah Guang: I've wandered half my life, only regretting that I haven't met a wise ruler. If C doesn't abandon me, I'm willing to become his godfather!]

[SKT: Bros., after getting pushed back in the first two games, I'm about to face EDG at full strength. Do you think I'm still salvageable?]
