League: Educating LPL is my duty.

When Li Chen returned backstage after the interview, the WE team had already gone up to the execution platform.

Li Chen watched the commentators analyzing the strengths of both teams on the screen, then put his right hand on Clearlove's shoulder and asked, "Let's bet, who do you think will win this game?"

The factory manager stared at Li Chen suspiciously for a while, then finally hesitated before saying, "I bet... WE wins, and we'll have a hot pot meal!"

"Sure, I'll do the opposite: a mansion!" Li Chen said.

Seeing that Li Chen was willing to invest such a significant stake, the factory manager narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice, "You're really not optimistic about WE?"

"Just watch the game!" Li Chen didn't explain further.

In fact, judging solely from their paper strength, WE and FW are on the same level, and WE may even be slightly stronger.

However, in League of Legends, it's not just about theoretical strength; it also involves factors like the mindset and performance of both sides during the match, and these factors can sometimes have an even greater impact.

Li Chen's winning streak was due to his ridiculously strong performance and consistent form. As long as his teammates were even remotely competent, they could win by exploiting the openings he created.

WE is currently under immense pressure, having to face Taiwan's top team, Flash Wolves, before going on to play against the three-time world champions, SKT. Their mentality is easily affected.

At least right now, Xi Ye's expression on camera looks very serious.

The game started quickly. WE was on the red side and played aggressively in the early game. Flash Wolves suffered a slight loss and were slightly behind in economy.

However, this economic advantage was not significant, and every attack WE launched after the laning phase was successfully defended by Flash Wolves.

This stalemate continued until about 25 minutes in, when a team fight broke out near the dragon pit. Mystic was caught off guard and killed before he could use his Flash, leading to a complete collapse of the team fight and a 0-for-3 exchange.

From this point on, the game began to fall into Flash Wolves' rhythm, and WE found it increasingly difficult to win. Finally, at the 38th minute, Flash Wolves secured Baron Nashor with a nearly 10,000 gold advantage, ending the game in one fell swoop.

"Don't forget the hot pot dinner at the villa!" Li Chen reminded him.

The factory manager rolled his eyes: "Still thinking about hot pot? You're going to get a real scolding when you get home tonight. You dare to do a live stream?"

Li Chen said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, scold me all you want. As long as I get lots of gifts, what does it matter if I get scolded? I've already said it, this is the kind of money I make."

When the WE team returned to the rest room, his face was obviously droopy, and he had no energy at all.

They couldn't even beat Flash Wolves, so there's no point in even thinking about SKT. All they can think about is how they'll be criticized online.

In fact, they were right. In the final game against SKT, WE's performance was disastrous.

From the start of the game, WE was dominated by SKT, and the economic gap continued to widen, with SKT frequently racking up kills.

On the commentary stage, Wawa's tone was no longer excited, but somewhat low as he said, "With Xiye's death, SKT has completed a team wipe against WE. There are minions in the mid lane, so this game should be over. SKT is going to push for one last push."

Guan Zeyuan said, "We have to admit that although they lost at MSI, SKT's strength is still worthy of the three-time champion team. They ended the game with an 18-2 kill difference in just 24 minutes, which can be described as a sweep."

However, we shouldn't be discouraged. Our region also has its own top teams, such as EDG, who have been sweeping all the way, and RNG, with Uzi on the field. Tomorrow we will face the LMS region in the semifinals, and I believe they will not let us down.

Su Xiaoyan nodded slightly: "That's right, the group stage is just the beginning. The semifinals and finals will be the real tests of a region's strength. Let's have faith in and look forward to the matches tomorrow!"

SKT lost 0-3 at MSI, I thought they were finished.

To be honest, it's not surprising that WE lost two games in a row; RNG or OMG would have done the same.

[Besides EDG, who else in the world dares to bet on these two teams?]

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 202ᴋᴋs.ᴄᴏᴍ]

[They lost and still have the nerve to complain? EDG, they beat SKT once at MSI, do they really think they're better than them?]

That's enough, stop bragging, WE played terribly!

Since there were no more EDG matches, many EDG and C... Li Chen fans didn't continue watching, after all, it seemed very difficult for WE to win against SKT.

So at this point in the live stream, with the main forces no longer suppressing the competition, the various forces began to gradually guide the pace of the game, and all sorts of pessimistic comments about the LPL emerged one after another.

Furthermore, with the release of the group stage results, LPL's performance report also became a trending topic.

#LPL finishes last in their group at the Rift Rivals, the dream of being the number one region is shattered!#

#WE suffers second consecutive defeat, LPL loses to LMS in group stage, giving away three points!#

#3-5 Bottom of the group stage, how much strength does the LPL still have?#

Below these posts, many netizens who follow the competition left comments, and it was almost impossible to find any positive ones.

[Region? Competition area!]

[Of the four teams, EDG counts as one person, OMG counts as half a person, and RNG and WE do not count as a person.]

No wonder it's a library; it really doesn't deserve the title!

[Don't bring up EDG when you're insulting them. Did they play badly? Carries can be an exception!]

[They're hyping up EDG and C again. To be honest, they only dominate in the LPL.]

[Waiting for them to be eliminated in the semifinals, then we'll settle all scores!]

The LPL participants on the other side didn't need to take out their phones to know what would be said online, but the results were already what they were, and there was no point in arguing. Each team could only play dead and wait until the semifinals were over before making any further comments.

If they can achieve good results, everything will be fine, but if they are eliminated in the semi-finals, the scene is something that no one dares to imagine.

Back at the hotel, due to time constraints, the teams did not conduct any training sessions, but instead focused on helping the players adjust their mindset.

Chen then pulled the coaches of each team aside to discuss the order of appearance in tomorrow's semi-finals.

Unlike other competitions, in the first four best-of-five semifinal matches, each team can only play once, and the order can be determined by the region itself.

If the four matches end in a 2-2 tie, then in the fifth decisive match, either team can be chosen to play.

This schedule is relatively good for LPL, because EDG is basically guaranteed to get at least one point. As long as the other three teams get one point and the series goes to a decisive game, EDG can finish the match.

Logically, in this situation, strong teams would usually be placed in the first or second game. However, after discussing it, everyone felt that the LMS might think the same way, so in order to do the opposite, they decided to put EDG in the fourth game.
