League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Before the start of the second game, the players from both sides went to their seats, and Li Chen deliberately glanced at the Snake team's position.

Seeing that their opponent was still Zz1tai, Li Chen asked in surprise, "Zz1tai again? Does Zhu Kai really trust Zz1tai that much, not letting Flandre play?"

The factory manager said from the side, "Zhu Kai is a very shrewd guy. He might not be good at drafting and strategizing, but he's good at other things. I guess he thinks that since Zz1tai has already been crushed once, there's no need to let Flandre get crushed again."

Li Chen clicked his tongue with a hint of regret and said, "What a pity, I was thinking of using this match to give Holy Gun Bro a try out."

"Oh... um? Who are you trying out? What are you planning to do?" The factory manager's eyes widened, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"No, especially not to you, thank you!" Li Chen smiled politely, then sat down and started working on the computer.

On the commentary stage, Miller said, "Alright, welcome back to the match, everyone. Next up is the second game between EDG and Snake Esports. EDG is currently leading 1-0 and has two match points."

"There weren't any personnel changes on either side in this game, which surprised me quite a bit. After all, Snake Team has a lot of substitutes, and at the beginning of the season, all teams are looking for the best combination," Wawa said meaningfully.

"If that's the case, IG should have the most frequent combinations, since they can replace any position except the mid laner." Miller revealed a meaningful smile and exchanged a glance with Wawa.

IG's strategy of catching internal traitors through strategic combinations is no secret. Just look at IG's long list of substitute players; they could easily form a new team with room to spare.

"OK, let's get back to the main topic. The match has started, and both teams have started banning players. They're doing it very quickly, without any hesitation. Snake banned Jayce and Fiora, while EDG banned Kalista and Kha'Zix. That's all normal."

Miller glanced at the list of players and thought there wasn't much to say; they were basically the same players who regularly played against EDG.

But when it came to the third round of recruitment, the Snake team hesitated.

They had a good plan before the match, intending to ban Jayce, Fiora, and Galio, but when it came to this crucial moment, Zz1tai felt that Camille couldn't be allowed to be released either.

"Coach, we really can't let Camille go. Her E skill has a forced displacement, and even if I use W to control her, she can still escape. She also has her ultimate to avoid damage, and she can use E-Flash-E to initiate team fights from a distance. How am I supposed to fight if we let her go?"

Faced with Zita's appeal, Zhu Kai directly and bluntly rejected it: "No way, the other side has a lot of heroes. Riven, Jax, Gnar, which one can you beat? It makes no difference whether there is one more Camille or one less Camille."

However, if Galio isn't picked, it'll be a huge problem. We're unfamiliar with the Galio strategy, we can't use it right now, and we don't have any counters to it. If EDG plays a 1-1-3 push strategy in the mid-game, who do you expect to help you push lanes?

However, as a reassurance, Zhu Kai added, "Don't worry, EDG doesn't like to draft a top laner first. If they don't draft a top laner in the second round, we'll do it then."

Having said that, Tank understood the coach's meaning and decisively sent Galio to the ban position.

EDG wasn't surprised by this. Snake's mid laner couldn't get lane priority, and the top and bottom lanes couldn't gain an advantage either. Giving up or first-picking a tempo-oriented mid laner like Galio would be suicidal.

After a brief deliberation, EDG's third strategy remained focused on the richest player, removing the Spider and leaving only Lee Sin for the richest player to choose from.

Seeing that EDG had banned the Spider on the third floor, Zhu Kai frowned and said, "Let's pick Karma first... no, let's pick Lulu instead. In case the enemy picks Camille, we'll have a reliable crowd control when we engage."

Crystal's face twisted in disbelief; he was extremely reluctant to choose Lulu. He still wanted to pick a tanky support with both survivability and crowd control, so that his teammates could focus on the bottom lane.

On the other side, nofe saw that Snake Team first picked Lulu, and didn't have much to say, continuing to pick the Varus and Karma combination.

As long as the enemy team doesn't pick a tanky support that can initiate fights, you can pick these two heroes who can clear waves from a distance.

"Varus and Karma, no problem. This combination can build Ardent Censer or armor penetration items. The item build can be adjusted according to the team's needs, and it's also very effective at clearing waves." Wawa was very optimistic about this combination.

Miller watched as Snake switched between several jungler icons and speculated, "I feel like Snake would be better off picking Zac. Picking Lee Sin is too aggressive. If they can't get the rhythm in the early and mid-game, they'll easily go silent for the whole game."

Wawa added, "Let's see what Snake Team thinks. Actually, Lee Sin is one of the richest man's signature heroes. Should we trust the players at this point? Oh, or should we use Zac? No problem, Zac has more ways to initiate team fights."

After Zac was revealed, Snake's third pick began to waver between the mid laner and the AD carry, but in the end, considering how badly the tank had fared in the previous game, Zhu Kai prioritized ensuring the tank's laning phase.

"In this game, we're focusing on the top lane, mid lane, and jungle, mainly targeting the top lane and tanks. If you get Syndra, can you guarantee lane priority in the mid lane?" Zhu Kai asked directly.

Tank hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to answer the question.

In his mind, if he used Syndra, he would indeed have a certain chance to gain lane control, but it's hard to say how much of a chance that would be.

If a guarantee is made at this point, and the team picks Syndra for him, but he fails to perform as expected in the game, the consequences could be severe.

Seeing that Tank didn't dare to answer him at all, Zhu Kai knew that the other party didn't have much confidence, so he said directly: "Give Tank the card. Tank, your task in this game is to cooperate with the jungler to target the top lane, and then pass the ball to the bottom lane in the late game."

The tank nodded slightly: "Understood!"

The others had no objections to Zhu Kai's arrangements, but the two in the bottom lane were a different story.

Crystal Brother's dissatisfaction grew as he saw Zhu Kai not focusing on the bottom lane and instead having them take over the ball later in the game.

Meanwhile, nofe from EDG was also communicating with Scout.

To be honest, EDG was quite surprised that Snake picked a champion like Twisted Fate.

After all, the Taliyah strategy from the previous game was no longer viable, so picking a card that provides faster support in this game is somewhat like not giving up until they hit a brick wall.

Nofe was wavering between supporting and laning, and in desperation, he asked Li Chen, "C-God, do you think we should build a strong laning hero for mid lane, or a support-oriented hero?"

"Scout can suppress tanks without much problem, but if Twisted Fate ignores his own development and goes to gank, most heroes can't keep up with Twisted Fate's pace. I feel like Snake Esports will have to fight tooth and nail this game," Clearlove chimed in.
