League: Educating LPL is my duty.

"Wait a minute, what is SSG doing? Why are they making a move here? The damage is not enough. Lucian was focused down and only lost two-thirds of his health. After the control chain disappeared, he used his E skill to create distance and start dealing damage."

"Taliyah has also teleported down. It's a ward behind SSG, and we're about to be surrounded. Can we escape? Gragas is sticking to Syndra. He has red buff, and Syndra can't move at all." The roaring emperor's voice was deep, but it carried a hint of pessimism.

Another commentator quickly chimed in: "Lucian's damage is too high. One combo has brought Ambition's health down to a very low level. Now, the three SSG members have also discovered Taliyah's teleport from behind and want to retreat, but they can't escape easily."

An Zhangmen was also a little panicked at this point. He did not expect EDG to plant another ward in the bush behind them. Now their route to retreat and gank was completely blocked, and they could only run towards the river.

"Retreat first, retreat first, we can't fight anymore."

Master An was running, but Lucian was moving faster, following closely behind Master An.

Although Li Chen's health is low, no one in SSG can hit him right now. The only one with long range and high damage, Syndra, is stuck with Gragas and has no skills left, so she can only run away and has no energy to deal with him.

Faced with Lucian's unrestricted damage output, the prince simply couldn't withstand it and fled without looking back.

But at this moment, Taliyah landed, and Scout acted decisively. After landing, he immediately used Flash to close the distance, first using W to lift her up, and then followed up with an EQ combo for crazy damage.

Gnar was caught off guard and brought back, exposing the prince's side position, making him an easy target for Li Chen and Scout to focus fire on, resulting in his first death and giving up the first blood.

Syndra, who was running in the lead, had her E skill on cooldown long. Seeing that Ambition was dead, she knew that there was no way to turn the tide. She decisively ran to the top river bush, flashed over the wall, and entered the jungle.

"Never mind him, just kill Gnar. Factory, go back and help me balance the lanes."

Li Chen directed the factory manager to retreat, lest the other party, with dirty hands, deliberately and accidentally take someone's head.

Without summoner spells or skills, a level 2 Gnar, facing a combined attack from Lucian and Taliyah, was successfully brought down and sent home to browse Taobao.

With that, the fight in the top lane came to a complete end.

On the LPL commentary stage, Remember summarized: "Two kills were taken by C and Scout respectively. SSG's rhythm was explosive. In order to help Gnar clear the wave in the top lane, their mid and jungle paid a heavy price."

Miller couldn't help but laugh and said, "How should I put it? SSG and EDG have relatively little experience against each other. If the opponent were SKT, they would most likely have attacked the bottom lane instead of coming to the top lane to cause trouble."

"As it stands, those who are forced to gank C in the top lane because of the difficult situation there are basically not any good results. In just four minutes, the economic difference between the two sides has already reached nearly 2,000. It feels like SSG is going to have a hard time."

Rita laughed even harder now, because she had something to brag about during tonight's live stream: delving into the underlying factors that led to Cuvee's brutal beating—a perfect excuse to boost her popularity.

[This is outrageous. One person collapsing wasn't enough; they had to make all three collapse together.]

To be honest, Cuvee's performance wasn't as good as Huni's.

[Your feeling is right; three creeps in four minutes is less effective than a siege minion.]

[That's not entirely true. At this rate, getting six creeps every eight minutes is better than Huni getting five.]

[C says: You want to last-hit six minions? Am I being too lenient with you, or is there something wrong with your thinking?]

While netizens and commentators were discussing it, the internal voice chat within SSG was still going on.

Master An was somewhat angry: "Cuvee, why are there wards in the grass? Didn't you know he planted wards?"

Cuvee was at a loss for words and dared not speak at all, because he truly had no idea that Li Chen had planted wards in the bushes.

Crown said in Chacha's tone, "Zanrong, this is going to be difficult. Taliyah might take control of the lane soon. I've used my teleport now, so I won't be able to keep up with her roaming speed after level six, and it'll be hard to contain her."

Master An pointed to the river bush below the mid lane: "I'll go to the mid lane to gank for you and see if I can kill him once. He doesn't have Flash right now, so stunning him should be enough to kill him."

Cuvee also wanted to ask how to play the top lane next, because the top lane minion wave was currently being controlled in front of the red side tower.

Li Chen got a kill and went back to base to buy equipment. In order to prevent the minion wave from pushing back, he specially asked the factory manager to stay and help him control the wave.

When Lucian returned to lane, he already had a pickaxe and boots, while Gnar, who was playing with darts under the tower opposite him, barely had a cloth armor and a health potion.

SSG's support player CoreJJ took a moment to check the situation in the top lane and said directly, "If the top lane continues like this, we can just let the enemy push down the mid lane. There's no need to continue fighting."

He wasn't blaming Cuvee for this; after all, Li Chen had beaten SKT 3-0, and they had considered the possibility of losing before the game even started.

He felt that he should try to fight back instead of just waiting to die.

However, he hasn't figured out exactly how to struggle yet.

As time went on, SSG's top lane completely collapsed. Although the mid lane could still hold on thanks to the strength of the heroes, SSG's upper jungle inevitably fell.

The factory manager started going into the Ueno district of the Anzhangmen sect to do some unspeakable things, and Li Chen would occasionally go there to pick up a few dozen or a hundred yuan to use.

Even because Varus and Karma controlled the bottom lane and pushed the lane too fast, Ambition didn't dare to easily invade EDG's bottom jungle to steal jungle camps and make up for lost time.

This has led to a gradual widening of the development gap between the two junglers.

Seven minutes had passed. Li Chen calculated his currency and the time it would take for the next wave of minions to arrive, and immediately began to speed up the clearing of the accumulated minions.

Soon, Lucian led a small wave of minions and approached the blue team's defensive tower.

Facing a level 7 Lucian, Cuvee's level 3 Gnar had no choice but to silently run back and create distance, watching helplessly as the minion wave was taken down one by one by the turret.

After pushing the minion wave under the tower, Li Chen didn't immediately go back to base. Instead, he attacked the tower a few times, and only after the tower had eaten half of the minion wave did he quietly retreat to a patch of grass and press recall.

However, just six seconds later, when the recall bar was about to finish loading, Li Chen canceled the recall and pressed it again.

At this point, the minion wave under the turret had already disappeared, but because the blue team's minion wave was blocked by the minions under the turret, the minion waves of both sides were once again stuck near the blue team's turret.

"It's about time, isn't it? Can you resist pushing it?" Li Chen thought to himself as he looked at the minion wave.

The next second, a Nar wearing dinosaur skin pajamas swayed up to the stage.
