League: Educating LPL is my duty.

After a moment of silence, Li Chen finally spoke again: "I don't hold grudges. You will have a chance to play in the Summer Season, but definitely not with me, so you can rest assured that you will have plenty of room to perform."

After Li Chen finished speaking, he looked at Nofe and said, "Coach, please continue!"

Nofe nodded and said, "Two new heroes have been released for the Summer Split, Xayah and Rakan. However, they cannot participate in the competition for the first two weeks. Judging from their current strength, we definitely cannot give both of these heroes to the opponent. So, if we do give them both, we need to consider which one to pick first."

"Luo, if I have to choose between the two, I'll definitely choose Luo!" Li Chen stated his conclusion directly.

The factory manager was somewhat confused: "Isn't Xia very strong too?"

Li Chen shook his head: "Meiko, among the support heroes in the current League of Legends, which one can combine mobility, sustain, initiation, and crowd control, and also trigger Ardent Censer multiple times at any time?"

Meiko was taken aback when Li Chen suddenly asked her a question. Then her pupils contracted slightly: "Luo? It seems there's no one else besides him."

Having received the answer, Li Chen tilted his head and looked at the factory manager, a look on his face that seemed to say, "Do you understand now?"

"So Luo really is pretty formidable?" the factory manager muttered to himself.

"Of course they're strong. They can turn the tide even when they're down by 10,000 in economy. It would be strange if they weren't strong," Li Chen thought to himself.

This research meeting on the Summer Split version lasted until 3 a.m.

And immediately after it ended, Abu called iboy aside for a private talk with a gloomy expression.

The schedule for the Summer Split was released the following day.

Firstly, regarding the group assignments, since WE was the Spring Split champion in the original timeline, while EDG was only a semi-finalist, the two teams were grouped together.

But now EDG is the champion and WE is the runner-up, so they can't be grouped together.

The six teams in Group A are: EDG, RNG, IG, Snake, IM, and DAN.

The six teams in Group B are: WE, OMG, Newbee, SNG, JDG, and LGD.

Judging solely from the teams' strength, the teams in Group A are clearly stronger, given that they include EDG, currently the undisputed big boss in the region, along with RNG, earning them the nickname "Group of Death" from netizens.

For the opening ceremony matches, LPL carefully selected the two teams with the highest viewership: EDG and RNG.

EDG, as the champion of the Spring Split and the newly crowned MSI champion, is still the top team in the region, even though some people have stripped them of most of their honors. Their popularity is undeniable.

Although RNG was eliminated in the semifinals of the Spring Split, they are still considered the strongest team in the league, and with recent rumors that the Summer Split will be dominated by AD carries, they have once again been elevated to the position of the region's hope.

The announcement of the match between these two teams immediately ignited the pre-season atmosphere for the Summer Split and sparked heated discussions online.

The fans of both teams engaged in a fierce war of words, spreading across almost every corner of the internet, from Bilibili to Weibo, and then to short video platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou.

On various platforms' popularity charts, celebrity gossip and scandals have disappeared, replaced by trending topics about the match.

#EDG vs RNG, who will be the king of summer?#

#With the release of the Incense Burner update, will the god-like aura of C-God disappear?#

#Ace vs. Ace, the second clash between the strongest top laner and the strongest AD carry!#

#Will C's undefeated streak end after the opening match?#

Undoubtedly, this opening ceremony once again demonstrated to investors the influence of the game League of Legends.

However, just one day before the start of the competition, RNG suddenly announced that Uzi would miss the first four weeks of the Summer Split due to a recurrence of tenosynovitis.

The moment this news was released, it immediately attracted countless comments from netizens.

At the EDG base, Clearlove scrolled through his phone and muttered, "RNG is really something else. They didn't announce it earlier or later, and now that the match is about to start, they're saying Uzi is injured."

Meiko responded from the side, "I heard that his hand injury flared up during the Demacia Cup, but I didn't expect him to have to rest for so long."

Listening to their conversation, Li Chen, who had just finished a game, subconsciously rubbed his wrist.

Everyone says Uzi got injured because of his high frequency of operations, but his current stats show that his frequency of operations is much higher than Uzi's.

Moreover, he has always suspected that the system has taken into account the effects of playing games in his previous life on his hands, which is why he started feeling unwell so quickly.

Since he was broadcasting during prime time, with at least 200,000 viewers in the chat, Li Chen's subconscious action still attracted the attention of his viewers.

[Damn, don't scare me! And don't tell me your hand isn't feeling well either.]

【No way, I remember someone complaining about hand pain when they got C during the Lunar New Year. I thought they were joking!】

Working at least twelve hours a day, 365 days a year, it would be a miracle if you didn't feel terrible.

It's hard to believe he could sit in front of the computer for a year without developing hemorrhoids!

[C out, if it really doesn't work, let's take a break. Let's stop playing. I can watch Dou Dizhu (a card game) too.]

Looking at the comments, Li Chen immediately said, "Brothers, if you care about the streamer, you can exchange your feelings for gifts that can be redeemed for cash. The streamer is like a nuclear-powered donkey; with gifts, he'll work all year round."

The barrage of comments quickly turned into a barrage of insults, but the number of gifts also increased significantly.

The crisp bills fell into his pocket, and Li Chen nodded in satisfaction, while mentally calling out the system panel.

If it weren't for the system's maintenance function, he would have reduced the training frequency long ago.

Host: Li Chen

Age: 19 (This age seems inaccurate, but it doesn't matter)

Operation: 97 (Don't doubt yourself, you are the highest standard of operation!)

Hand speed: 96 (Hey, interested in changing professions?)

Response: 96 (You're practically a superman!)

Awareness: 95 (Does that mean you've activated a full map vision cheat?)

Team fight: 90 (Let's turn the tide!)

Champion Mastery: Future Guardian (God of War), Lucian (Master of Marksmanship), Fiora (Master of Conquest), Riven (Master of Conquest), Ocean's Scourge (Master of Conquest), Lost Tooth (Master of Conquest), Camille (Master of Conquest), Syndra (Master of Weaving), LeBlanc (Master of Weaving)...

Rating: SSR (It's not considered open if it's not closed!)

Points: 4396

Honor Points: 4

Looking at his current points balance, Li Chen could only sigh slightly.

To activate the system's maintenance function, three honor points and ten thousand ordinary points are required. He is currently far from having enough ordinary points, and according to the current schedule, it will take him at least a month to accumulate enough.

Moreover, each subsequent use requires 5,000 points, so there's still a long way to go.

Fortunately, he no longer needs to worry about his hero pool and stats, so he can focus on accumulating points without worry.
