League: Educating LPL is my duty.

When the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy is exhausted, we attack!

Li Chen brought the essence of the sixteen-character military strategy to its extreme, repeatedly testing the bottom line of the MVP players.

After discussing it, the MVP players decided that since they couldn't win this game anyway, they might as well take a gamble, look for an opportunity to kill Li Chen, and push down the top lane tower.

However, Gragas doesn't have Flash or his ultimate, so it's practically impossible for a support Morgana to control Li Chen with just her Q skill.

After the two sides stalled in the top lane for more than ten seconds, the system finally notified them that the blue team's bottom lane tower had been destroyed.

Furthermore, after the factory manager and his team destroyed the defensive tower, they did not retreat but continued to advance, aiming directly at the bottom lane's second tower.

The original battle plan was scrapped, and the mid-lane Ziggs could only use his ultimate to clear the minions in the bottom lane, delaying EDG's tower push.

One minute later, EDG's top lane tower was destroyed, but at the same time, MVP's bottom lane second tower was also reduced to ruins.

With no one blocking their way, EDG continued to push towards the bottom lane high ground. This time, MVP had no choice but to quickly return to base to defend.

Meanwhile, Li Chen, who had retreated to the rear, also brought up the minion wave, preparing to push MVP's top lane tower.

Miller, observing the situation, said, "MVP's strategy is still flawed. They should have retreated in time if they failed to catch the Renekton in the top lane. Although they have pushed down EDG's top tower, they have also lost two towers in the bottom lane."

Furthermore, EDG's bot lane is currently rotating towards the mid lane, and the Ziggs needs to retreat, otherwise he'll definitely be tower-dived and killed. The top laner, Renekton, is also pushing the lane. Although no kills were secured in this exchange, the MVP award is a huge loss.

"So the current EDG is really not to be underestimated in terms of operation. They are never afraid of fighting, and their operation is impeccable. They will play however you want, and you still can't beat them. That's the most terrifying thing."

Guan Zeyuan's praise resonated with many netizens.

Rita continued to emphasize the key point: "Before MVP caught C, the economic difference between the two sides was only a little over 1,000 points, but now it has been widened to nearly 3,000. From now on, it will still be EDG's rhythm, and with MVP's lineup, it will be difficult for them to turn the tide."

It's not uncommon for teams to come back from a huge disadvantage, but there are prerequisites for doing so. First and foremost, the team must be proactive and able to seize opportunities when they arise.

MVP's lineup has almost no initiation ability; aside from being decent at defending towers, its offensive capabilities are practically zero.

Faced with EDG's 122 split push offensive rhythm, MVP's economic disadvantage gradually widened.

At thirteen minutes, Scout, who was solo pushing the bottom lane, was ganked by MVP's top, mid, and jungle. Li Chen teleported to the bottom lane, used his ultimate and Flash to use his W with his red buff to bite Ziggs and instantly kill him.

The remaining two Ueno were unharmed, with Fiora ultimately sacrificing herself while Gragas barely managed to escape.

At seventeen minutes, EDG grouped up to attack the mid-lane second tower. MVP defended resolutely, with all five players in position, but EDG immediately released the Rift Herald in preparation for a hard push.

"This is a 5v5 team fight in the mid lane. EDG wants to go all out, but can they win? MVP defends very resolutely. Spider is looking for an opportunity on the side. He hits Morgana with his E-flash and stuns her. Renekton uses his ultimate to enter the fight, but is controlled and blown up by Gragas."

But Scout's damage was extremely high. He flashed, used his ultimate followed by his E, and with Elise's help, instantly killed Morgana. Xayah was attacking, Renekton was tanking in front, and Caitlyn dared not attack the backline. This MVP was about to collapse; the equipment disadvantage was too great.

In one team fight, MVP's defeat was almost devastating. The huge economic gap meant that EDG didn't need to worry about the turrets at all; if they could get in, they would win.

In the end, EDG sacrificed Clearlove in this team fight, achieving a 1-for-4 exchange, with only Ziggs barely surviving as the MVP.

EDG then pushed down the mid and bottom lane inhibitors, effectively eliminating MVP from leaving the base.

At 20 minutes, EDG took advantage of their vision and equipment to start the dragon on time. Beyond wanted to take a look, but was ambushed by Li Chen halfway. Although he escaped with his ultimate and mobility, he lost the opportunity to steal the dragon.

At 22 minutes, EDG, with the Baron buff, pushed forward head-on. MVP, trailing by 12,000 gold, had no chance to fight back and the game ended immediately.

"Congratulations to EDG for securing a winning start for the LPL in the Rift Rivals finals! From start to finish, EDG presented us with a virtually flawless performance, showing us that this invincible team is still improving!"

Guan Zeyuan then added, "This match is over. The next match will be RNG vs. SSG. Let's also look forward to RNG bringing us a wonderful performance."

Upon their victorious return, the other teams in the rest area applauded them, while RNG and WE also felt a lot more pressure.

As the bottom-ranked team, no one will say anything if OMG loses to SKT, but if both of their teams lose, netizens will most likely not let them off the hook.

After receiving a call from his boss, RNG coach Feng returned and walked over to Uzi, saying, "Uzi, how's your hand injury healing? We're playing SSG next, and we absolutely can't lose this match. Can you play?"

Uzi glanced at Li Chen, who was leaving with the staff for an interview, and nodded, saying, "I can play. My hand feels almost recovered, so I should be fine. Play around me in the next game, and we'll definitely win."

On the other side, Li Chen followed the staff to the interview table, where Eun-jung was interviewing him again.

"C God Oppa, it's great to be able to interview you again. Thank you for your hospitality last night!" Eunjung said, shaking hands with Lee Jin.

"No big deal, let's get started!"

Eun-jung didn't waste any time either. These short interviews in the middle of the day were just to make time, and they weren't long. They usually only involved a few questions.

After the camera was turned on, Eun-jung gave a normal introduction, then asked, "Today is our Intercontinental Championship finals, with eight teams from two regions competing. Does god_C have any predictions for the upcoming matches?"

Li Chen pondered for a moment and said, "If I were to predict, I think there's a chance we'll only have to play three matches today!"

"Oh, does god_C think that both RNG and WE will win their respective matches? That might not be an easy thing, as SSG and KT are both very strong teams."

Eun-jung didn't dare to lean too far to either side, so she could only speak up for her own region's team.

But Li Chen said seriously, "I do think RNG and WE have a good chance of winning. Although SSG and KT are also good, a 3-0 victory is not impossible."

[Oppa looks so handsome when he's serious! I love Oppa!]

【You women, don't you know this is an international competition?】

[Damn it, this guy is too arrogant. Just because he can beat our team doesn't mean other teams can.]

Arrogance comes at a price; I can almost picture him seeing the score at 1-3.
