League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Ten minutes later, the Rift Herald spawned, and Li Chen immediately stopped pushing the lane, turned around, and disappeared into RNG's jungle.

At this point, RNG knew that if they lost the Rift Herald, their defense would become much more difficult, but there was nothing they could do.

They are currently at a huge disadvantage in the top, mid, and jungle, and their bot lane is still not very effective. If they were to actually engage in a 5v5 team fight, the outcome would be unpredictable.

Rangdi, who was still hiding in the grass under the second tower, looked at the wave of minions about to enter the tower, and it was a minion wave. He couldn't help but have a slight thought.

"If I take this wave of cannon minions, I should be able to reach level six. If I find an opportunity to use my ultimate to support the bottom lane and tower dive, then I won't have to take the blame for this game..."

Driven by his daydreams, Rangdi finally couldn't resist falling for her.

However, instead of going directly from the lane, he took a detour to the jungle, intending to place a ward from the side to see if anyone was hiding in the triangular bush behind the first tower.

If there really is someone there, he can also run towards the middle lane and legally leech some of Xiaohu's experience. Once he reaches level six, he can start providing support as well.

But the imagination is beautiful, while the reality is harsh.

Li Chen and the factory manager did not go to fight the Rift Herald, but they also did not camp in the bush behind the first tower. Instead, they camped in the blue buff bush.

The reason for doing this is simple: if they carefully choose to take a detour, they can catch them; if they don't take a detour and go straight to the lane, they can tower dive.

A level 5 Shen getting ambushed by a level 8 giant bug and a level 6 spider is doomed to fail.

Li Chen took a bite, and it was crunchy and tasted like chicken!

After securing his fourth kill, Li Chen immediately returned to base to craft the Staff of Time and Cloth Boots, marking the start of the game's countdown phase.

Thirteen minutes in, Spider and Cho'Gath circled out from behind the blue team's mid-lane tower. Xiaohu, low on health, tried to escape but was caught up and instantly killed by Li Chen with a flash.

Fifteen minutes later, EDG secured the second dragon, and Li Chen finished it off with his ultimate once again.

Sixteen minutes later, EDG secured the Rift Herald, and Li Chen's ultimate ability stacked to six.

EDG then accelerated their push, because in this version, Cho'Gath's ultimate ability does not stack infinitely; six stacks is already the limit.

However, the health bonus provided per stack is higher than after the update, so even with AP items, Cho'Gath is still ridiculously tanky.

At 18 minutes, EDG grouped up and pushed mid. RNG tried to defend, but Clearlove flashed and used his E to control Lee Sin. Under the barrage of damage, Lee Sin couldn't even withstand the first round of attacks.

EDG then released the Rift Herald, and relying on their level and equipment advantage, they pushed down RNG's mid-lane high ground all the way.

Twenty minutes in, EDG forced a team fight at Baron Nashor, but RNG didn't go all out and only sent Spicy Pot to steal the Baron.

However, in the end, the person successfully entered the dragon pit but failed to get out, and the dragon was easily taken down by Li Chen with a powerful move.

At 23 minutes, Li Chen, wielding Justice of Glory, led the charge. RNG, lacking a frontline, had their formation completely dismantled, their team fight crumbled instantly, and the game ended.

Seeing the shattered crystal fragments of RNG's base scattered everywhere, not only were the RNG players silent, but the viewers from other teams watching the live stream were also silent.

Before today, everyone thought that the Summer Split was a bot lane meta, a meta focused on late-game team fights and centered around Baron Nashor and Giant's Dragon.

But now EDG has taught all teams a lesson.

A late-game AD carry paired with Ardent Censer is indeed strong, but the question is, can they survive until the late game?

In this game, the biggest advantage never comes from team composition, but from the overwhelming advantage in both equipment and level.

On the commentary stage, Guan Zeyuan congratulated EDG and said, "It feels like EDG taught us another lesson today. When everyone thought that this version should be played around the bot lane, they showed us with a classic top-mid-jungle synergy that there is more than one answer to this version."

Changmao pointed out incisively: "The main reason is that EDG's bot lane had too much of an easy time in this game. Mlxg kept roaming in the bottom half of the map, but failed to catch anyone. The ultimate reason is probably because of the Ardent Censer meta, where everyone is using enchanter supports."

Without hard crowd control from your support, it's difficult to tower dive and kill EDG's bot lane duo, further expanding your advantage. They might lose a little minion gold, which doesn't matter much. As long as they don't die, they can easily snowball by taking some team resources in the mid-game.

Rita said thoughtfully, "Looking at it this way, it seems like this version is still buffing EDG!"

[Badge buffed, brother! Epic buff!]

[C: I heard you want to play a late-game character? Are you sure you have the skills?]

[Zet: Starving yourself by not farming minions? I know that all too well!]

[Laughable, they just won one game and they're already bragging. These days, even the commentators are biased.]

If we don't praise EDG, are we supposed to praise RNG instead?

At this moment, in the RNG rest room, Feng was still trying to find problems for everyone, but the team members were all uninterested.

Before the match, they thought they had ushered in a golden age for the team, but just 23 minutes later, EDG slapped them back to reality.

"If the puppy can't play, we might not even be able to beat the bot lane. Xiaohu, you are the pillar of the team now, you have to hold the team up in the early and mid-game. Also, Xiangguo, you need to focus on the mid lane in the early game, don't just sleepwalk and let Clearlove lead you by the nose."

Feng didn't mention letting his brother win, after all, the opponent was Li Chen, and everyone knows what the situation is like when laning in the top lane.

But the spiciness from the spicy hot pot hadn't subsided, and upon hearing Feng Ge's words, he started blaming himself: "How am I supposed to focus on the mid lane? The top lane is going to collapse in less than three minutes, and if I don't care, they'll quit the game in a heartbeat. How am I supposed to play?"

Upon hearing this, the younger brother said somewhat unhappily, "You insisted on staking out people back then. Otherwise, if I had gone home, it would have been impossible to..."

"Shut up!"

Feng glared at Rangdi, then looked at Mala Xiangguo: "Are you confused? What do you care about the top lane? Can you even help the top lane?"

"Now that the puppy isn't here, I don't expect you to win, but you absolutely can't lose the next round so badly. I don't care what methods you use, you have to at least drag it out until at least thirty minutes."

On the other side of the EDG lounge, the atmosphere was quite cheerful.

Abu massaged Li Chen's shoulders and asked softly, "What does Chen want to do next? Let's try to push for another quick win and get off to a good start."

There's practically no room for pride between EDG and RNG; if they can push quickly, Abu will definitely want to do it as fast as possible.

Li Chen gave an OK sign and said, "No problem. I'll use Darius next game. It's been a while since I got a pentakill in the region, so I'll give it a try."

"Darius can be played in a competition?" Clearlove was a little surprised, as he had never seen Li Chen play this champion before.

Li Chen rolled his eyes: "Do you believe Garen can still take the top spot?"

Adam's three signature moves in Season 13 are well-known to everyone.
