League: Educating LPL is my duty.

At the start of the game, neither jungler showed much desire to initiate an attack.

However, EDG's bot lane was clearly playing more aggressively. Iboy was playing Ashe in this game, and he tried to poke Lin Weixiang every time he had the chance.

But this also gave NB an opportunity. At five minutes, when jungler Ai Luoli went to the top side of the map, iboy still tried to suppress Lin Weixiang. As a result, he was caught by Swift, and he used Flash and Heal, but ended up giving away his own life.

Although NB secured the first blood, they failed to establish a sustained offensive rhythm, and their economy did not fall behind.

Scout's LeBlanc mid lane pick also dominated her lane and roamed to the top lane twice, helping the top lane establish an advantage.

Ultimately, thanks to better operations, EDG successfully gained a lead of around 3,000 gold at the 20-minute mark.

Then they gradually eroded various neutral resources and defensive towers, compressing NB's operational space.

Finally, at the 38-minute mark, EDG won a team fight in the bottom lane and pushed down NB's high ground.

Seeing the NB crystal shatter, Li Chen felt that this scene was about what he had expected.

Throughout the game, it was clear that iboy wanted to show off, but he obviously didn't have the ability to dominate the lane. The current meta with two enchanter supports in the bot lane also prevented him from easily securing kills in lane.

This is why the Ardent Censer is considered the biggest trap in this version. Limiting supports to enchanter supports means they lack sufficient control and initiation tools, thus locking in the potential of the bot lane. The mid and jungle are the key factors determining the bot lane's advantage or disadvantage.

After a short break, the second game began.

In this game, NB seemed to have figured out how to play the game. Swift focused all his energy on the mid lane, putting a lot of pressure on Scout.

Ai Luoli chose to help the bottom lane establish an advantage, but it turned out that the mid laner was more important in the early and mid-game. With the mid lane being suppressed, the entire situation was controlled by NB.

As expected, after a grueling 40-minute battle, EDG lost the second game, bringing the score to 1-1.

Although he was told not to target the players, as this was EDG's second loss this year since the Spring Split, he couldn't possibly remain completely silent.

"Congratulations to NB for winning a point in the second game against EDG. Meanwhile, EDG suffered their second loss in a small game this year. It may be due to the large number of personnel changes and the lack of teamwork. Hopefully, they can adjust their form as soon as possible."

Su Xiaoyan added, "NB took control of the game in the second game, and EDG was almost always forced to defend. It felt different from their previous games. Generally speaking, EDG prefers to take the initiative to attack."

"Well... with personnel changes, tactics naturally need to change too, but it's okay, this is just a small match, both sides will still have a chance." Remember to quickly move on, not wanting Su Xiaoyan to delve any further.

However, at this point, the viewers in front of the screen had already started arguing, with various unidentified creatures mixed in.

Is this all there is to a child prodigy?

[This match made me sleepy, and so did I.]

[They've thrown a huge tantrum after losing just one game; no wonder everyone says EDG has a team tyrant.]

[Well, he has a lot of fans, so he'll probably be directing them to focus on the AD carry later.]

[People who are only interested in money, especially when they've achieved some small success, are like this.]

The popularity of Li Chen's live stream was no less than that of the official live stream. Although he did not provide commentary, people would automatically interpret his expressions.

When fans asked who was to blame for the loss, Li Chen said impartially, "It's not a matter of who's to blame. Everyone except Scout played poorly and their teamwork wasn't good enough. They still need to work on their coordination."

With neither he nor the factory manager participating, EDG had to rely on Scout to carry the team, resulting in their mid lane being shut down and the rest of the team being completely ineffective in the early game.

Nofe also realized this problem, and in the third game, he helped Scout pick LeBlanc again, and asked AiLoli to help the mid lane more in the early game.

NB's tactics were not updated in time, and they ultimately lost the game, with EDG winning 2-1.

Although Daemon won this best-of-three series, the fans were not satisfied.

To lose a game against a team like NB is something that shouldn't have happened.

During the post-match interview, iboy, who was playing at the legal age for the first time, was naturally invited to be interviewed, and Ai Luoli also went on stage with him.

When host Yu Shuang asked iboy if he was satisfied with his performance today, iboy's answer surprised her.

"My performance today was a bit off, probably because I don't have many opportunities to practice with my teammates. Our teamwork wasn't good enough. I will continue to work hard and work with my teammates as soon as possible to achieve better results."

Upon hearing iboy's answer, Yu Shuang immediately sensed something was wrong.

Although these words sound normal and there is nothing wrong with them, if someone deliberately interprets them, then there will be a problem.

As expected, it wasn't long before people started stirring up trouble online and in various live streaming rooms.

Their first attack was on the internal discord within EDG, specifically Li Chen's decision to prevent iboy from playing in scrims.

Even in Li Chen's live stream, there were many paid trolls who went so far as to buy memberships and send comments to stir up trouble.

[I don't understand, so I'm asking: why aren't they letting iboy play in scrims?]

Why would they do that? They're afraid it will affect their tactical role!

[Will EDG still need iBoy after he's had some time to gel with the team?]

[Having been a substitute for two and a half years, he's taking out his frustrations on the newcomers.]

【Wait, where did this dog come from in the live stream? Did it just finish eating? Its breath smells so bad!】

Li Chen didn't care about these comments. He could guess the team's thoughts. It was just that iboy's contract was longer, while zet was only used as a transitional player. It was obvious which one was more valuable to develop.

But that has nothing to do with him; what he wants is absolute control.

Therefore, he doesn't plan to play in the remaining regular season games, letting iboy develop gradually.

Given EDG's current form, they won't go far. Forget about the World Championship; even winning the Summer Split would be a miracle.

Just then, a bunch of rocket effects suddenly appeared in the live stream and took over the screen.

Travel Frog sends out 1 Super Rockets

Travel Frog sends out 2 Super Rockets

Travel Frog sends out 3 Super Rockets

......

Travel Frog sends out 10 Super Rockets

Travel Frog: The streamer is so amazing, why not go pro and make a name for yourself instead of staying here as a small streamer?

Li Chen recognized whose ID it was, but he didn't reveal it. He replied with a smile, "Thanks to Boss Frog for the super rocket. The streamer has a team, right? I'm just not feeling well these past two days, so I'm taking a break. I'll be back when I'm better."

Travel Frog: I know a few traditional Chinese medicine doctors who are quite skilled. If the host doesn't mind, you can come and take a look tonight!

"Is your old Chinese medicine practice legitimate?"

Li Chen knew a bit about President Wang and figured that this old Chinese medicine doctor probably wasn't too old.
