League: Educating LPL is my duty.

After the short break, the GG video stopped, and the commentary booth took over the screen again.

Changmao said, "Alright, welcome back to the match, Summoners. EDG is currently leading RNG 1-0. I believe that after the halftime break, both sides have adjusted their state and are ready to face the second game."

At this moment, an illustration appeared on the big screen showing Li Chen waving to the audience as he walked onto the stage.

Guan Zeyuan said with a smile, "Our C God still likes to interact with fans. However, his performance today was as amazing as ever. He did not disappoint the fans' expectations. The highest mountain in the top lane lives up to his name."

Rita chimed in, "Perhaps, as C-God said, this is his era. Other teams that want a future must first consider how to deal with him."

Yes, yes, that's exactly how it's done! I love listening to it!

[C: I am the future!]

[C says: If you're not happy, I'll snipe you in the top lane, or mid lane too. Just kidding, I'll play bot lane too.]

Is an MSI championship really that bad? Is it as valuable as a World Championship runner-up finish?

This doesn't look like a skewer!

After losing the first game, RNG learned their lesson and chose the red side in the second game, determined to help Rangdi get a counter-pick.

Although the positions of the two sides have been changed, the ban targets have remained basically the same, still the same heroes. In this game, RNG, as the red side, also has to take on the ban role of Kalista.

Both sides quickly finished banning their champions. EDG banned Jarvan IV, Kog'Maw, and Lulu, while RNG's bans were basically fixed, and they could only ban Jayce, Galio, and Kalista.

Next up was EDG's first pick, and nofe, as planned, picked Karma first.

"Without Lulu, Karma got picked, and Kog'Maw is gone too. How about we use Lucian and Nami? EDG and SKT used this combination before, and it was pretty strong in the early and mid-game," Xiaoming suggested.

"This combination doesn't improve much with the Incense Burner, and it's basically hopeless in the late game..." Feng hesitated, but then thought that since there was no hope of winning anyway, he might as well gamble with the early-game lineup.

After much deliberation, he nodded and said, "Okay, besides this combination, you can also consider the female police officer system. We'll play in the early to mid-game, and you can use whichever hero is strong. It's up to you."

"Let's go with Lucian. Without the dog, the female police officer system won't work." Xiaoming made the choice for wuxx directly.

Despite Xiaoming's unintentional close-range attack, wuxx, who had remained silent throughout, maintained the most basic courtesy of silence.

He has a clear understanding of his role: he is just a replacement for Uzi before he takes the field. He should play well, avoid feeding or taking the blame, work hard to improve his stats, and see if he can find a good job next year.

With RNG directly locking in the Lucian and Ana combination, Li Chen immediately said, "Be careful in the bot lane this game. The opponent definitely wants to focus on the early to mid-game. I estimate that the jungler will pick a champion with crowd control to dive your tower."

"We've already deployed Karma, what do we do? Karma's ability to defend against tower dives is a bit weak." Meiko scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

Nofe then suggested, "I think we could put Karma in the mid lane, Morgana and Ezreal in the bot lane, and add a teamfight control jungler like Sejuani. What do you think, C-God?"

"Okay!" Li Chen nodded slightly, agreeing to nofe's proposal.

With Li Chen's approval, EDG immediately locked in Ezreal and Sejuani, while Morgana was left for the next round, since most people don't know how to play Morgana.

RNG didn't realize Karma was going to the mid lane, since EDG's mid laner is the team's second core and they rarely use utility support.

Enchantress!

In order to implement his early game strategy, Feng decisively gave Xiaohu the first pick of LeBlanc, hoping to achieve a good mid-jungle synergy.

However, in EDG's eyes, RNG's mid lane had basically collapsed by half.

Karma is already a bit of a nuisance in the mid lane, and few champions can push lanes faster than her, at least not LeBlanc.

In addition, LeBlanc at this time still had delayed damage, making it extremely difficult to get a solo kill on Karma in lane. Scout in the mid lane only needed to keep pushing the lane, and Xiaohu would collapse on his own.

After all, a LeBlanc who can't gain an economic advantage, combined with delayed damage, is worse than a dog.

Soon after, RNG shifted their focus back to the top lane, banning Fiora and Camille in succession in an attempt to limit Li Chen's split-pushing ability.

EDG, on the other hand, targeted the jungler position by banning Gragas and Elise, further limiting Mlxg's champion choices.

With the banning of players over, RNG has few jungler options left. Coupled with their need for early game tempo and control to initiate team fights, their choices are further squeezed.

Looking at the lineups on both sides, Changmao commented, "RNG doesn't have many jungler options left. They either have to pick a versatile jungler like Lee Sin, or they can only pick Zac. There aren't many other good choices."

Guan Zeyuan drawled, "So RNG's pick here... is still Zac, no problem. This champion has the ability to engage from a long distance and tower dive, so EDG's bot lane needs to be careful."

"Let's see how EDG picks. They instantly locked in Morgana, and then instantly locked in Darius?" Rita was somewhat shocked as she watched EDG lock in their champions one after another.

【Wait, Darius is out now?】

[C was having a blast, understand, after all, the opponent was letting him win.]

[Are these two supposed to be incense burner versions?]

[C says: Cowardly behavior will not be tolerated. I'm talking to you, brother.]

[Let the younger brother: This round is paid.]

Watching EDG lock down Darius on the fifth floor made me feel like my heart was breaking.

If he plays a tank again this game, wouldn't that be like giving Darius a chance to stack Bloodrage?

But if he doesn't play tanks, not to mention whether the coach will let him play other things, he himself doesn't have the confidence to compete with Li Chen in terms of skill.

However, Feng Ge had more confidence in him than he thought, and directly asked, "Lightmy, can Kennen or Gnar be played?"

Xiaohu also said, "Darius is short-legged. If we pick Kennen or Gnar to kite him, we should be able to suppress him. I think we can use that."

I don't think it'll work!

Rangdi swallowed hard, hesitating to reply.

He felt that these people didn't actually play the game and were just making sarcastic remarks.

Long-ranged opponents generally have an easier time fighting short-ranged opponents, but the key question is whether Li Chen is an ordinary player. He's the kind of guy who can take on all the top laners in the entire LPL by teaming up against him.

After hesitating for a long time, Rangdi timidly said, "Coach, maybe I should use Shen instead."

Upon hearing this, Mala Xiangguo's temper flared up immediately: "What the hell are you cowardly for? You're too scared to fight someone with long arms against someone with short arms? Are you scared out of your wits?"

Rangdi looked slightly bitter, but just silently watched the coach without arguing.

That's right, he chickened out!
