League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Chapter 245 Saving the Family Tree

Seeing that tower diving wasn't going to work, Spicy Hot Pot came up with another plan: "Why don't you stay home this wave? We can ambush him in the bushes. He'll definitely push the lane later."

The younger brother hesitated, asking, "Will this work?"

Mala Xiangguo's temper flared up immediately: "What do you mean by 'can't' or 'can't'? What the hell are you afraid of? If he doesn't push the lane, you'll be the one pushing back later. You won't lose anything."

Spicy Hot Pot has a bad temper, and even Uzi sometimes has to listen to him during matches. Letme, being of low status, doesn't dare to argue with Spicy Hot Pot and can only follow him into the top lane bush.

However, Li Chen's intuition was too sharp. He realized that RNG would not easily accept this loss, and that he was determined to push this wave of minions and could not let it go unchecked.

So Li Chen calculated when the next wave of minions would arrive, and then said while farming the lane, "The enemy should be counter-ganking. Scout, you sacrifice yourself, recall and teleport to top lane. Clearlove, go first, hold the vision here and place wards."

Li Chen's position was perfectly positioned at the edge of the Shenhe River's field of vision.

After the factory manager and Scout finished off the enemy in the mid lane, they quickly pushed the minion wave under the tower. Then, following Li Chen's instructions, the factory manager took the lead and headed towards the top lane.

Scout returned to base to buy items and waited for Clearlove to arrive, place wards, and teleport.

At this moment, the blue team's fourth wave of minions reached Li Chen's tower, while the red team's fourth wave of minions was blocked by the minions under the tower and had already gathered together.

Faced with this situation, most players who mainly play top lane know that a pushback to the lane will occur next.

If we don't push forward and force the enemy top laner to use Teleport, then the enemy will most likely have to walk back to lane.

If the minion wave is blocked, the opponent can find an opportunity to trade some health and return home to replenish their health, then teleport back and use their health advantage to completely block the minion wave.

If the jungler ganks again at this point, it will be a game-winning move, and the top laner will be practically invisible for the rest of the game.

So at this moment, Li Chen pretended to be eager to push the lane, using all his skills as if he wanted to push the minion wave before Shen returned.

From RNG's perspective, this is quite reasonable.

Seeing this, Mala Xiangguo exclaimed excitedly, "Here it comes! Don't be afraid, just use E-Flash to control him, he can't escape!"

This version of Cho'Gath has infinite E, and its wave clear speed is relatively fast. After clearing the minion wave, Li Chen controlled Cho'Gath to continue moving forward.

In RNG's eyes, Li Chen seemed to be about to fall into their trap.

However, from the commentator's omniscient perspective, it is actually RNG that is in danger now.

Changmao said, "EDG's early game tactics are one step at a time. First, they let the top laner release the wave to lure Lee Sin over, creating an opportunity for Clearlove to gank in the mid lane. Now they've used the push back to bait RNG's top and jungle.

Spicy Hot Pot and Letme thought they could ambush C-God, but Clearlove and Scout were already positioned at the edge of the river's vision range. If RNG couldn't react in time, they were in serious trouble!

Guan Zeyuan said in a tense tone, "C-God has crossed the mid line, RNG is about to make a move. Letme initiated, directly using E-Flash. Didn't C-God react in time...? C-God reacted, but he didn't use Flash. Instead, he used Q skill at his feet."

Although Rangdi managed to control Li Chen with his E-flash, he was also knocked up by Li Chen's Q skill after landing, resulting in a control cancellation between the two.

At this moment, Mala Xiangguo emerged from the grass, closed the distance with Mo Shen, and then began to attack Li Chen.

After the taunt was lifted, Li Chen first silenced the two with his W skill, and then immediately flashed towards the river.

"He can't escape, he can't escape, chase him!"

Mala Xiangguo used his Q skill, successfully hitting Li Chen, and then kicked him directly.

However, at that moment, Spider and Lucian emerged from the shadows.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the mid-jungle duo, Spicy Hot Pot exclaimed, "Holy crap, why is the mid laner here?"

Xiaohu, the mid-laner, quickly explained, "I didn't know. He just pushed the minion wave to the tower, and I thought he was going to walk to lane to save on teleport."

"RNG fell for it. Lee Sin used his second Q to catch up. Cho'Gath's health was very low. Elise flew up and landed on Lee Sin. Lucian used his E to join the attack. With the damage from the three of them, Lee Sin couldn't withstand it at all. He couldn't escape here."

What should Shen do? Shen tried to retreat, but Elise transformed and stunned him with her E skill. RNG has made a huge mistake; their top and jungle gank failed, and instead they're about to feed kills to EDG.

Guan Zeyuan gave a passionate commentary, while also feeling that this game should be over again. That's how it is when playing against EDG; once you fall behind in the early game, there's no chance of a comeback.

Rita added, "Lucian auto-attacked and secured the kill on Spicy Hot Pot. Spicy Hot Pot didn't use Flash here, probably because he knew he couldn't escape even if he did. Now, three people are chasing Shen. Can they catch up? C's Q is ready, and he knocked Shen up. He probably can't escape now."

[Haha, you actually dared to cross the line?]

[C is a real dog! He took two basic attacks and got three kills.]

[Isn't this what C himself said? Playing the minion wave well is half the battle won.]

[With the top, mid, and jungle all dying within four minutes, RNG might as well consider starting the next game.]

[And what about the bot lane? Oh, isn't the bot lane Xiao Wu (Little Dog)? He's getting pressured right now, but that's alright!]

After Lucian took down Lee Sin, Li Chen used his W to finish off Shen in front of the tower. Scout then returned to lane, and Li Chen and Clearlove together pushed the top lane minion wave to the blue team's tower.

He made his younger brother sit in front of the screen, then turned to look at the spicy hot pot, whose face was turning red and then pale. He swallowed back the words he was about to say about shifting the blame.

Xiao Hu sighed silently and said, "Let's play it safe. We're pretty strong in team fights in the late game."

Mala Xiangguo didn't say anything, but just silently ran towards the bottom jungle, which made Rangdi, who had just teleported back online, twitch.

Now the top lane is about to be pushed back by the red team. He's a guy who's behind in both level and economy, and he's even getting blocked in lane when he's fighting Li Chen. Is there any point in continuing to play this game?

Half a minute later, he looked at the minion wave and stopped at the river crossing. After thinking for a long time, he quietly said something about his recent situation.

"I'm doomed, I can't play anymore. I can't even farm the minions. The spider hadn't even taken the red buff yet, so it must have filled the bottom half of the jungle. It's farming in the top half now. If it comes to gank me, I'll die!"

The seemingly mundane yet aggrieved statement sounded extremely grating to Mala Xiangguo's ears, instantly igniting his anger.

"Damn, if you hadn't been pushed so hard at level one, would you have been able to play like this? What did your coach tell you not to push the lane? You just kept pushing..."

"Swearing is strictly prohibited during the competition. This is a one-time exception; any further swearing will result in penalties!"

At that moment, the female referee behind him transformed into an angel, stepping forward to save Rangdi's family tree!
