League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Soon, the first match of the Intercontinental Cup began, with the two teams being JT from the LMS and SSG from the LCK.

This match was practically a foregone conclusion, with a clear gap in skill between the two teams. From the start, JT was completely dominated by Samsung, who then extended their lead and ended the game.

After a short break, the second match will be between OMG and MVP.

As the first LPL team to appear in the Rift Rivals, OMG is under considerable pressure.

Although MVP is only a mid-to-upper-tier team in the LCK, it is still the LCK. In the eyes of most people, the overall strength of the LCK is still much higher than that of the LPL.

Moreover, OMG's strength is not top-tier in the LPL; they are considered the weakest of the four teams participating in the Rift Rivals. It's hard to say how much of a chance they have of winning against MVP.

Seeing the worried faces of the OMG players, Li Chen patted Sima Laozei on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the LCK teams are actually not that strong. I believe in you guys, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid, Young Master Leng is!" Sima Laozei gave a response without any expression.

Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyu immediately stood up and retorted, "Who's afraid? Let's fight! He's just an MVP; if we can't beat EDG, we can at least beat them!"

Li Chen nodded slightly and gave a thumbs up: "Very good, Young Master Leng, very spirited. You also came from the battlefield, so let's not embarrass ourselves."

A moment later, the OMG team took to the field, and the match officially began.

After the selection process, both sides quickly finalized their respective lineups. Since the Intercontinental Cup version already allowed Xayah and Rakan to be played, OMG got a good deal in the draft and picked the Xayah and Rakan duo.

Looking at the lineups on both sides, the factory manager asked with some surprise, "Does MVP really not value Xayah and Rakan that much, or is this the case throughout the LCK, where they've given Xayah and Rakan to OMG?"

"Let's wait and see. Whatever the reason, MVP will pay the price for their arrogance this game." Li Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he was not affected by the hero selection in this game.

Upon entering the game, OMG chose Jarvan IV for the top lane, while MVP chose Renekton.

As a dominant force in the top lane in the early game, the crocodile naturally has a significant advantage in trading blows and engaging in skirmishes. He started harassing Sunset under the tower as early as level two.

The clash between the two in the top lane was somewhat like a microcosm of the match. MVP quickly seized the opportunity when OMG's bottom lane duo was pushing the lane and ganked them, killing Sima Laozei.

Although OMG's jungler Spider arrived later, he couldn't stop any of MVP's players and could only watch helplessly as the enemy retreated.

After this wave, MVP gradually gained control of the game and began to attack OMG from all sides. Although OMG was also fighting back, the economic gap widened further.

However, as the game progressed into the mid-game, OMG gradually stabilized their position, and the economic gap was not allowed to widen indefinitely.

At this moment, the strength of the Xayah and Rakan duo also began to come online, and a team fight broke out in OMG's bottom jungle. OMG successfully achieved a one-for-four exchange, directly leveling the economic gap.

In the following period, OMG turned the tables, ushering in a period of strong lineup performance, and began to dominate MVP, gradually expanding the team's advantage.

However, MVP also has the characteristics of an LCK team. Although they are at a disadvantage, they have never shown any signs of defeat.

The game went on for forty minutes until OMG finally won a team fight at MVP's bottom lane high ground, ending the game.

At the LPL broadcast booth, Miller excitedly shouted, "Congratulations to OMG! After a grueling 40-minute battle, they have won this match and successfully secured a winning start for the LPL!"

"It was a very exciting match. Although OMG was at a disadvantage in the early game, they played very well and did not give MVP a chance to quickly expand their advantage."

And after the MVP made a decision-making error, they quickly seized the opportunity and immediately regained the initiative. They played a really good game, showing the style of a strong team in our region.

Remember to join in the praise, after all, it's an intercontinental tournament, you always have to praise your own team.

Rita, who has played a lot of games so far, nodded slightly: "OMG's victory in this match against the LCK team is crucial for our chances of advancing from the group stage."

The next match will be between our EDG team and LCK's Samsung team. Although they are also a veteran powerhouse in the LCK, I think EDG is definitely stronger than them.

[Wow, OMG actually won!]

This is truly unexpected. Could it be that our LPL is really going to rise again this year?

[OMG won, the next match is EDG, who will definitely win that too.]

Although I really want to say don't underestimate Samsung, I'm still confident in C's performance.

[Guan Gou posted a message on Weibo, cheering on both EDG and Samsung!]

[That's normal, after all, they're Samsung fans. EDG is just doing it because of work. They'll tell him how to cry properly when he comes out later.]

When the OMG team returned victorious, members of other teams such as EDG also stood up to congratulate them.

"Next match you're playing against Samsung, don't lose, or you'll make a fool of yourself," Leng Shaoxiong said confidently.

Li Chen rolled his eyes: "I think I haven't been playing mid lane enough lately. I'll play mid next time we play against OMG."

Leng Shao trembled, and the fear of being dominated by Li Chen in the past came to mind.

However, as the saying goes, even if you lose the argument, you can't lose face. Even a cooked duck has to be stubborn, so Young Master Leng said with a straight face, "Bring it on, who's afraid of who? Do you think I, Young Master Leng, am afraid?"

Xi Ye couldn't help but give Leng Shao a thumbs up. He now had to admit that Leng Shao was indeed much stronger than him in terms of courage.

Afterwards, the OMG members went off separately for post-match interviews, while EDG began their pre-match preparations.

After the halftime break, the third game began. Li Chen and his teammates walked onto the players' bench with serious expressions, silently adjusting and checking their equipment, afraid that LMS might do something underhanded.

On the commentary stage, Rita, watching a shot of Li Chen casually given by the director, couldn't help but say, "C-God looks very calm; he must be very confident."

Miller picked up the thread: "That's for sure. Although SSG's top laner CuVee is also a top-tier top laner, I think C-God can definitely suppress him."

"We always believe in C first and then believe in him. However, this competition is not only a test of individual strength, but also of the team's overall understanding of the version. In the previous few games, everyone may have been testing each other."

Remember to responsibly find a way out beforehand, so that if EDG suffers an unexpected defeat, there won't be any room for explanation.

[I won't listen, I won't look, I won't think. Call me in half an hour to watch the crystal explode.]

[SSG is indeed tough, but EDG is even tougher. Give them a good beating, carry!]

To be frank, there's no need to watch EDG's matches; they'll just win big again when you wake up.

[I agree, I'm going all in!]
