League: Educating LPL is my duty.

RNG returned victorious to the rest room, shaking off the slump caused by their double defeat in the group stage, with everyone holding their heads high like roosters.

The crowd gave them a few symbolic cheers, then Li Chen looked at Xiye and asked, "Xiye... oops, I mean Xiye, it's your turn next game. Are you confident you can take down LCK in three games?"

"No problem!"

Although Xiye was a little apprehensive, he remained defiant. After all, RNG had won, and the pressure would be too great if they lost.

Upon hearing this, Li Chen picked up his phone and edited a short Weibo post:

Our reporter has interviewed WE's current mid laner, Xiye. Today, they swept LCK 3-0, no problem at all!

It's a pity we didn't get to play against KT!

(Shiba Inu enjoying the breeze)

Li Chenka posted the Weibo message after WE took the stage, and then asked: "Clearlove, you didn't play against KT in this Intercontinental Cup. Don't you feel it's a pity? After all, your ex is in the team."

The factory manager's mind raced with memories, and he countered, "Did you waste your data by trying to kill Smeb but failing?"

Li Chen clicked his tongue: "It's alright. It's a real pity that I couldn't fight Smeb this year. I feel like I won't have the chance again."

Many people actually wanted to see EDG face off against KT in this Intercontinental Cup, because the match between the two teams was highly anticipated.

KT's current top laner, Smeb, was the last officially recognized world's best top laner. He topped the S6 World Championship player rankings, surpassing Faker, and is undoubtedly one of the strongest top laners in history.

Li Chen is the strongest and most dominant top laner this year, so it's bound to be interesting when the two of them meet.

In addition, KT's mid laner Fat General and AD pilot were the mainstays of EDG in the first two years, helping EDG win countless honors in the region.

With this lineup, it would be a real shame if the two teams didn't play each other.

Meanwhile, in the LCK rest area on the other side, the expressions of the SKT players were quite varied.

"Sang-hyuk hyung, do you think KT will win?" Musing Bang fidgeted with his fingers, his expression complex.

He now wants KT to win, but he also wants KT to lose. This kind of thinking is really scary. He feels like he's starting to fear EDG.

Faker unconsciously pushed up his glasses and said in a serious tone, "The Intercontinental Cup is just a side event. Our real final against EDG is at the World Championship."

"That's right, the Intercontinental Cup is just an exchange tournament. No matter the result, we don't need to care too much. The World Championship is the home ground where we defeated EDG!" Kkoma said, but in his heart he was already hoping that KT would lose.

Before the World Championship, he didn't want to play against EDG anymore because, apart from that trump card that he hadn't fully figured out, he didn't know how to beat EDG.

However, the reason why a trump card is called a trump card is that it can only be used once.

Given enough time, EDG will find a weakness, and he should save it for the most crucial moment.

Soon the match between WE and KT began, and this match was very important for both teams.

If WE wins, LPL will defeat LCK 3-0 and win the championship; if KT wins, the competition will continue.

So at the start of the match, both sides played very cautiously, neither of them had much confidence and neither took the initiative to attack.

With twelve minutes remaining in the game, the turning point began to appear.

KT wanted to target Xiye in the mid lane, and even brought their support up as well, but WE anticipated this.

Finally, WE successfully counter-ganked and killed KT's jungler and support, and even forced out KT's mid laner, Fat General, to use Flash.

From this point on, KT's situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and their disadvantage gradually widened.

At 40 minutes, WE, with their economic advantage, successfully won a team fight near the Baron pit, resulting in a 1-for-5 exchange.

"It's about to end. There are minions in the mid lane. WE doesn't need to fight Baron. They can just push. This Intercontinental Cup final will end with a score of 3-0. SKT won't have a chance to play."

Miller shouted excitedly; the result was clearly beyond his expectations.

Guan Zeyuan added, "Three to zero. I believe that before the match started, many people couldn't believe that the final would end like this, but our LPL team did not disappoint. This is an absolute victory."

Rita nodded slightly: "C God's prediction was too accurate. He said in an interview that today's result might end 3-0, and now we have indeed won the final with three victories."

[Holy crap, they really swept LCK 3-0.]

【No, does this mean LCK is really finished?】

[Hilarious! LCK hid SKT, and they managed to hide them all the way to Worlds.]

[SKT: The match is over before we even started?]

Whether they play or not, it's all the same. Do they really think SKT can beat EDG?

Is it possible that today was RNG's toughest match yet?

As the match ended 3-0, various pre-prepared essays immediately appeared online.

LPL defeats LCK 3-0 in the Rift Rivals!

#A reversal of fortunes, has the LPL become the top region?#

#RNG defeats SSG, all-Chinese teams are poised for a rise!#

Since the Intercontinental Tournament was just a small exchange competition, and the entire competition only lasted four days, there was no grand awards ceremony.

After the post-match procedures were completed, everyone dispersed and went back to their hotels to pack their things and head to the airport.

Both LPL and LCK booked their flights for tonight, with the main point being that they want to leave tonight to get back and continue with the Summer Split.

Once on the plane, Abu took the factory manager's seat and sat next to Li Chen to talk about iboy.

Abu knew that Li Chen disliked iBoy's disobedient personality, and he hesitated, unsure how to bring it up.

Li Chen was well aware of Abu's thoughts and bluntly stated, "Manager, just say what's on your mind. It's just about Iboy, isn't it?"

Abu sighed and said, "Achen, when we go back this time, iboy will be old enough to play. When he signed the contract, the team promised him playing time. I know you don't like him much, but it's written in the contract, the team..."

Li Chen nodded slightly: "I know. Let him play if he's supposed to. I have no objection."

After hearing Li Chen's words, Abu did not show a happy expression on his face. Instead, he explained with some concern, "The team will definitely respect your opinion. Iboy will not play all the time. It's just giving him a chance to play."

Furthermore, we definitely won't use his bot lane-centric tactics. The game will still revolve around you, and he, like Zet, will take on the role of absorbing pressure and ensuring the bot lane's stable development.

"Manager, you don't need to tell me all this. I fully support the team's arrangements. Just let A-Guang cooperate with him in the bottom lane. I also want to take a break for a while."

Li Chen knew that Abu wanted him to play as well, but that was absolutely impossible.

Given iboy's personality, how could he possibly do Zet's work obediently without experiencing a beating? He understands the spirit of youth all too well.

But that's no reason for him to clean up the mess left by a ticking time bomb. If iboy is truly capable, he can win all the way on his own, and then there's nothing wrong with him being a substitute.

If you don't have the ability, then just wait until next year!
