League: Educating LPL is my duty.

This time, not only were the rats shocked, but even Li Chen's teammates were surprised.

One question mark after another appeared in the bush where the rat had died, and even the mid laner posted: "Dude, how much do you charge a day? Is it safe?"

Of the nine people, only Xia still thought it was reasonable, after all, Li Chen's awareness and positioning in the bottom lane were clearly not what a player of this rank should have.

As for the rat, who was killed by three ultimate skills while invisible and without vision, it immediately went into berserk mode:

Damn it, you're not even going to act anymore, are you?

Stealth, no vision, all hits, if I don't ban you, I'll eat my computer.

[Mouse: My bank card password is 528639...]

[Suddenly I understand why top laners sometimes lose their rhythm and their gameplay goes awry in the middle of a match.]

[They've calculated everything perfectly for the mouse; they've even seen through its underwear.]

"Let's shut it down, I'm scared of you acting like this."

Li Chen glanced at the comments, did not deny it, and instead said with a hint of pride, "Since I've been seen through, then I won't pretend anymore. That's right, I used high-tech gadgets. If I don't have the talent, I'll make up for it with technology. Everyone is welcome to report me."

If someone else had pulled off such an incredible feat, saying this would likely have been analyzed and investigated to see if there was anything wrong with it.

However, when Li Chen took over the role, the viewers immediately saw through his true intentions.

[Haha, you want me to generate buzz for you, huh? No way.]

[Predicting a few major disturbances is easy enough, isn't it?]

[I remember clearly, you've already used up four skills this game. Is this all the tech you've got?]

[In real life, if I met someone like that, I'd ask them to mentor me; online, someone like you still needs practice.]

With the game progressing to this point, eight out of ten players felt that Li Chen had turned the tables, so naturally no one continued playing. After twenty minutes, the red team voted to surrender with five votes.

After the game ended, Li Chen consulted with the viewers in the live stream and, seeing that everyone was against it and didn't want Xia to have a good time, he overruled their objections and invited Xia to duo queue with him.

Although they weren't communicating via voice chat, both players were clearly beyond the Platinum rank. Li Chen was a given, and Xayah's performance was almost always dominant.

The two players, one in the top lane and the other in the bottom lane, dominated the entire game, maintaining a winning streak until midnight.

"Okay, guys, I'm going to show you a magic trick where someone disappears into thin air. I'll count to three!"

Snapped!

Without counting, Li Chen pressed the power button on the power strip, and the computer screen went black instantly.

Three days later, in the afternoon, EDG will play their first summer regular season match since returning from the Intercontinental Cup.

In this match, EDG will face NB, and NB's performance in the Summer Split has been quite remarkable so far, with a slight chance of competing for a spot in the top four of the playoffs.

But when facing EDG, almost no one thought NB would have a chance to win.

However, just before the match was about to begin, Li Chen's live stream suddenly started.

Many fans were surprised to receive a notification that Li Chen's live stream was on, thinking they had misremembered and that there were no EDG matches today.

However, when you click into Li Chen's live stream, you'll find that Li Chen is broadcasting today's match live.

It clearly states above that today's second BO3 match is EDG vs. NB.

[Hey bro, what are you doing here?]

[Wow, when did C have twin brothers?]

[I'm at the scene while you're at home, so what am I supposed to see?]

[Damn, did EDG forget their star player at home before the match?]

Li Chen was sitting in his gaming chair in a relaxed, reclining position, taking a comfortable sip of his War Horse liquor before calmly responding to everyone's questions.

"Didn't any of you see the official starting lineup for the teams? I'm resting at home today and not playing. As a diligent streamer, I'll definitely stream to rack up time when I'm home!"

It wasn't until then that people realized they should check the official personnel list, and many were stunned when they saw it.

Not only was the top laner replaced by A Guang, but even the jungler and AD carry were replaced by Ai Luoli and iboy, which is almost like changing the entire team.

Before the match even started, the news that EDG's main players had all logged off had already become a trending topic.

#EDG replaces top laner, jungler, and AD carry; are they building a new roster?#

#EdG internal conflict, god_c relegated to substitute!#

#The new EDG is about to debut, how far can this team go?#

Netizens love a good show, and some bloggers are also eager to jump on the bandwagon and get a piece of the action.

So, during the first best-of-three match between RNG and JDG, all sorts of rumors started flying around.

Faced with various speculations from his fans, Li Chen did not respond at all, only saying that he was feeling unwell and needed to rest for a while.

At this time, the factory manager was also broadcasting live. Some people couldn't get the inside information from Li Chen, so they went to the factory manager's live broadcast room to ask.

However, the factory manager remained silent on the matter, maintaining a warm and polite demeanor but claiming ignorance when questioned.

Soon, amidst various speculations, the match between EDG and NB began.

The commentators for this match were originally scheduled to be Miller and Rita, but due to personnel changes at EDG, the person in charge temporarily changed them to Remember and Su Xiaoyan to avoid inappropriate remarks from a certain Li Chen fan.

Upon meeting, Remember naturally had to comment on the personnel changes: "As you can see, EDG has undergone quite a few personnel changes today. I heard that it's because C-God and Clearlove weren't feeling well after returning from the Intercontinental Cup."

Su Xiaoyan nodded: "I also hope that both players can recover as soon as possible. In addition, EDG's AD has been changed to iboy today. This is his first appearance after meeting the age requirements. Everyone can look forward to his performance."

However, fans didn't buy this explanation at all, and all sorts of speculations emerged in the comments section.

[EDG is probably embroiled in internal power struggles; all their key players have been brought down.]

[Hilarious! He used to be the one causing others to get sick, now it's finally his turn.]

[EDG is hopeless. Frankly, with this roster, they're at best going to be eliminated in the first round of the World Championship group stage.]

[C can find another team now, since they're all building teams around my C build, right?]

[This is ridiculous! If we win the game later, whoever is missing will be in an awkward position.]

Amidst various discussions in the live chat, the competition proceeded normally to the player selection phase.

Since joining EDG, Nofe has consistently adhered to the core philosophy that the top laner is the "daddy."

Regardless of the lineup, as long as the big dad has fun, the game will naturally be won.

Now that the top lane carry is gone, they are forced to switch to protecting the bottom lane, and nofe is clearly showing signs of discomfort when banning heroes.

After much deliberation, EDG ultimately chose a lineup focused on early-game development and late-game team fights.

"It's alright, EDG should have a win this game. NB can't compete with EDG in terms of macro play, but the game will probably drag on until after 35 minutes."

Looking at the lineups on both sides, Li Chen didn't deliberately belittle either side, but gave a fair and impartial evaluation.

EDG's tactical reserves and operational capabilities are absolutely top-notch in the region. The individual abilities of the players are also commendable, with no obvious weaknesses, but that also means they don't have any particular strengths.

They should have no problem playing against teams like NB, but against LCK teams that are also known for their macro-management skills, or teams with outstanding individual abilities, they are more likely to run into trouble.
