League: Educating LPL is my duty.

It was half a minute later when Faker landed in the bottom lane, recalled to base, and then walked to the mid lane.

During this period, Li Chen had just stockpiled two waves of minions, including one wave of siege minions.

After watching the Fizz push the minion wave into the tower and then immediately retreat and disappear, all Faker could do was send a signal to remind his teammates.

The bot lane duo felt a slight sense of security watching Peanut fight the Krugs.

But Huni on the top lane couldn't do it.

He's facing a level 5 crocodile with Bloodrage, and he just used his teleport to return to lane. Retreating now would basically mean the top lane is doomed.

He could only retreat to the tower, praying that EDG wouldn't gank him.

But sometimes, what you wish for comes true. The moment the fishman and the barrel emerged from behind the tower, his fate was sealed.

Without any fancy maneuvers, A-Guang pushed the minion wave into the tower and, as Li Chen instructed, baited out Fiora's W with a basic attack. Then, the three of them unleashed a flurry of punches, and finally, Fizz secured the kill.

The killing ring was marked with two more layers, but it didn't stop him from returning to lane to farm minions. The economic gap between the two teams instantly widened from a close race to a difference of 1,000 gold.

Although Peanut took the opportunity to farm some jungle monsters in EDG's lower jungle, it was to no avail, as his upper jungle was also severely damaged.

After clearing the minion wave in the mid lane, Li Chen placed some vision in the river in the bottom half of the jungle and just happened to see Lee Sin leaving his own jungle.

The two exchanged glances, but neither of them intended to make a move.

Li Chen didn't inflict enough damage, while Peanut simply didn't have a chance.

It's impossible to catch a murloc with all its skills by yourself.

As Li Chen leveled up, he gained the upper hand in lane, pushing the lane and invading the jungle with the help of Gragas, while constantly putting pressure on the bottom lane.

Peanut wanted to go to the upper half of the map to cause trouble for the crocodile, but the vision in the upper half was too good. Li Chen and the factory manager had almost all their vision set up in the upper half.

Moreover, when no one is coming to catch him, Ah Guang plays very cautiously and rarely goes up to trade blows.

Eight minutes passed quickly. Li Chen finished upgrading his equipment and went outside, now wearing magic penetration boots.

Back online, Li Chen played even more aggressively, pushing forward directly across the minion wave.

"Sang-hyuk hyung, should we seduce him into a fight?" Peanut asked from hiding in the bird pit.

"I'll give it a try, see if you can reach him via Q."

Faker took two steps forward, positioning himself close to the wall of the bird pit, so that Peanut could easily touch him with W.

But Li Chen saw through SKT's trick at a glance. He used his E skill to jump backward and stomp on the minions, quickly clearing the minion wave before entering the bottom half of the river.

At this moment, EDG's bottom lane was pushing back the lane. Wolf originally wanted to put the wave in front of the tower to look for an opportunity, but when he saw that EDG's mid laner had disappeared again, he quickly asked Bang to speed up the push.

Unlike Syndra, Fizz has too many dashes and evasion abilities, making it too easy for him to tower dive when there are minions around.

Not only him, but the rest of SKT also felt that EDG's target was the bottom lane, and Peanut quickly moved towards the bottom lane as well.

In the LPL live stream, Miller watched as Gragas circled around to SKT's Tahm Kench and couldn't help but say, "EDG is confusing SKT again. Their target isn't the bot lane, but Huni in the top lane."

Guan Zeyuan said, "Just now, C God and Clearlove were moving together, and SKT thought Gragas was also in the bottom half of the map, but that was just a smokescreen. Now Faker and Peanut are both moving down, and the top lane is isolated again."

"They've made their move. The top laner made the first move. The crocodile used his ultimate to clear the wave and pushed it into the tower. Gragas circled around from behind. Fiora tried to run, but it was too late. The crocodile used E-Flash-A to bait out Fiora's W."

As soon as Rita finished speaking, Fiora, whose W duration was displayed, was stunned by Gragas, followed by Renekton's inexplicable combo.

[Huni: No, why am I always the one who gets hurt?]

[This huni is no good either; she's willing to die if you dare to arrest her?]

[The fishman ran halfway down the bottom lane but then went back, and the bottom lane minion wave was pushed back. SKT is at a huge loss!]

[Even with Carry in the mid lane, it's not working; he can't get kills. It's time to focus on macro play.]

[Laughs, that's because the opponent is Faker. If you switch to someone else, see if the carry can handle him.]

After taking a walk and returning to his lane, Li Chen saw that the Lee Sin was forced to stay in the bottom lane to help the duo reset the minion wave, and he finally had an idea about Faker.

While Syndra was away from returning to lane, Li Chen quickly cleared the minion wave and then followed it into the tower.

Faker was positioned early and didn't dare risk returning to lane from in front of the first tower, so he made a safe choice to return between the first and second towers.

However, he had just walked past the bushes next to the bird and hadn't even revealed his position when the Fizz under the tower suddenly threw his ultimate at Faker's location without any vision.

Li Chen made this prediction based entirely on Syndra's movement speed. He knew that it would be difficult for him to hit Faker with his ultimate from a distance, and he wouldn't have enough damage at close range, so he had to take a gamble.

He was betting that he could predict and hit Faker's ultimate when Faker was least on guard.

The effect was obvious. Faker never expected to be fed by the Fizz in that position. The screen kept switching between the top and bottom lanes, which resulted in him only realizing what was happening after being hit by the Fizz's ultimate.

When Li Chen unleashed his ultimate skill, he also walked out along with it.

Seeing the Fizz approach, Faker quickly placed his Q at the Fizz's feet, and then activated his ultimate together before the Fizz could knock him up.

His purpose in unleashing his ultimate was clear: to force Li Chen to use his E skill to avoid damage, so that he wouldn't die in this round.

But Li Chen didn't fall for that at all. He chased after Faker despite the damage from Faker's ultimate, and when Syndra was knocked up, he used his Q skill to close the distance and auto-attack.

In this version, the damage output of mid-lane mages is often excessive, especially against squishy targets without magic resistance. So, after just taking Li Chen's RWQA Thunderlord's Decree, Faker's health bar was already starting to crumble.

After the knock-up was removed, Faker had no choice but to use his E skill to protect himself from the Fizz's auto-attack while he was using his W skill. However, Li Chen dodged the skill with his E skill, which did not surprise Faker.

The two have now entered the final stage of their battle. If Faker is hit by this E skill and slowed down, he will almost certainly die.

To survive, Faker must use Flash to dodge the damage and slow from his E skill.

At this moment, both of them were extremely focused, staring intently at the screen.

As the fishman jumped again, Faker seized the last moment and chose to use Flash towards the side jungle.

bump!

bump!

Two consecutive sounds rang out, marking the end of this exchange.
