League: Educating LPL is my duty.

SSG is on the blue side in this match and will be hosting it.

SSG coach Edgar twirled his pen and, without much hesitation, said, "Get rid of Jayce. We shouldn't challenge this guy that even SKT doesn't want to face."

CuVee remained silent on this matter. Although he had never faced off against Li Chen's Jayce, he felt that this Jayce player deserved some respect because of his reputation.

Of course, he's just Jayce. As one of the three top top laners in LCK, he's not like Huni, who's a dud.

The banning of Jayce is quite normal to anyone who knows EDG even slightly, since the last player who stubbornly banned Jayce ended up losing the game in three minutes.

At this point, Nofe analyzed, "We don't have all the information we have right now, but I think Xayah and Rakan aren't a high priority tactical pick in the LCK. I suggest we try banning Xayah and letting Rakan go. What do you think, C-God?"

Li Chen nodded slightly: "I think it's fine. Let's give it a try and see if they choose it."

With clear instructions, EDG's first office gave them to Xia.

SSG then began targeting Galio, locking him in almost without hesitation.

Miller, watching this scene, said, "It feels like LCK is still using the same champion picks as MSI, but it's definitely effective. These two champions really can't be given to EDG, otherwise they won't be able to fight in the mid-game."

Remember to add, "EDG has banned Xayah, so Rakan should be allowed to join the ban. The second ban should be Kalista... As expected, it's Kalista."

The figures for the first two hands were relatively fixed and easy to predict, but SSG suddenly stopped on the third hand.

"Fiora, Riven, Camille, these are all split-pushing champions that the enemy team likes to use. We don't have enough bans, CuVee, you pick one!" Edgar gave the pick to CuVee.

However, CuVee replied, "Coach, no need. Give this spot to someone else. I can handle him."

"Are you sure? Don't forget Huni's lesson."

"That's him. I won't become a second Huni. I am who I am, and Huni can't compare to me."

CuVee is full of confidence, and his confidence stems from a chance encounter with Li Chen in a ranked match some time ago.

In that game, he played Gnar and Li Chen played Fiora. At that time, it was a 50/50 match, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

Edgar didn't press the issue and said directly, "Then let's get LeBlanc. I heard Scout's been playing a lot of ranked games lately."

"Let's make her a policewoman."

EDG's third figurine is an open secret; the female police officer is basically a rich woman who can buy a house with her in EDG.

After the player selection process was completed, the first round of player selection began. SSG didn't hesitate for long and ultimately chose Lulu from among the various support players available.

"As expected, Xayah and Rakan are probably not a high priority in the LCK, or perhaps they haven't figured out the corresponding tactical lineup yet, otherwise they wouldn't have let them go like this," Clearlove said.

Li Chen glanced at the factory manager: "Factory manager, why don't you tell us something that nobody knows?"

"You'll get a beating when you get home tonight, do you know that?" the factory manager retorted.

Li Chen: ……

"Alright, let's stick to the usual routine, Karma and Verus!"

nofe has now developed the habit of hoarding cards. Since Karma and Verus don't have any obvious counters yet, he'll just keep using them.

EDG has finalized its bot lane duo, which was within SSG's expectations, since everyone knows that the bot lane duo is the lowest priority in the EDG team.

"Let's take Ashe first, and give the other one to mid lane!"

Edgar didn't ask Ruler what he wanted; he simply gave him the answer.

As for Samsung's mid laner Crown, he can only be described as a mediocre mid laner with nothing particularly special about him.

Furthermore, he didn't know much about Scout. Now that the coach asked him to play first, after some thought, he still chose Syndra, a mid laner with high lane strength, so that at least the mid lane wouldn't collapse.

With SSG locking in their mid and bot lane duo, EDG's draft became much clearer: the mid laner would either pick a support hero or a late-game carry.

Scout waited a few seconds, and seeing that neither Li Chen nor Nofe spoke, he silently tapped Lucian's icon.

Nofe's expression shifted slightly before he asked, "C-God, is this hero any good? I don't think it's suitable. How about Azir or Taliyah?"

Scout felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the coach reject the idea first.

He hasn't played Lucian in the mid lane for a long time, and he really wants to play a game, but it seems like he won't have the chance right now.

However, just as Scout was waiting for him to switch champions, Li Chen suddenly spoke up and said, "Lucian it is. I can play him this game. I'm fine with it."

Scout's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled: "Really? Thank you, Brother Chen, I'll definitely play my best."

The factory manager sat between the two, listening to the junior's excited voice, and couldn't help but shake his head silently.

On the commentary stage, Miller gave a brief commentary on the first round of champion picks for both sides: "Both sides were alright in this game, both can play well, there's no obvious advantage or disadvantage. Lucian in the mid lane is a regular pick, and EDG has experience."

Remember acknowledged, "It mainly depends on how the top and jungle players decide to play. It seems like SSG isn't paying much attention to targeting the top lane."

At this point, no one noticed anything unusual. From the audience to the commentators, and even the players of SSG and EDG, no one noticed anything amiss.

The second round of bans was carried out quickly on both sides. EDG took down Lee Sin and Elise one after another, while SSG banned Evelynn and Sejuani.

Seeing how the opposing team was targeting him, the factory manager straightened his back and sighed, "Oh dear, I was planning to play a game with Widowmaker, but SSG managed to figure that out. They're quite something."

Li Chen rolled his eyes: "Oh right, right, hurry up and get your wine barrel, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have any heroes to play with later."

After studying for a while, Zet understood Gragas, a commonly used champion, and immediately locked in on him.

The factory manager grunted twice without saying a word, but silently vowed to find an opportunity to prove his abilities.

He wants to show everyone who the world's best jungler is!

When it was SSG's turn to choose, there were very few commonly used jungler heroes left. Ambition had the right to choose, and after consideration, he still picked Jarvan IV.

Finally, it was CuVee's turn to choose. Edgar said, "Gnar, please. We lack crowd control right now and need a frontliner who can both tank and control."

The coach's suggestion was exactly what CuVee wanted, and he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, let's use Gnar then. If the enemy's pick is too strong and easy to coordinate with the jungler, Zanrong, can you help me out?"

Faced with cuVee's request, Sect Leader An nodded in agreement. He knew Li Chen to some extent and naturally wanted to be careful.

Finally, it was EDG's turn to choose their top laner.

Just as Nofe was about to ask Li Chen what he planned to pick, Li Chen said directly, "Let's choose Taliyah!"
