League: Educating LPL is my duty.

[Is that all? One blood decides the outcome?]

[Saying the bot lane isn't important during a live stream, and then saying the game is over during a match—this kind of person, lol!]

[If you're not convinced, why don't you go up and explain?]

[Shouldn't we have said something about that bot lane jumping in? Shouldn't they take the blame for the loss?]

The chat was noisy, and EDG's internal voice chat was also chaotic.

The factory manager, who had just left the top lane, was now questioning, "iboy, what were you doing? Why did you jump up and start a fight? Did I say we wouldn't fight when I wasn't there?"

"I saw an opportunity just now. If the prince doesn't come, Ezreal can't beat me this wave," iboy defended himself.

Today, Li Chen even served as a commentator for Uzi's matchup, as he really wanted to seize this opportunity to prove himself.

Especially since Uzi hit him with several Q skills in the early game, making him feel embarrassed and determined to get revenge.

Moreover, when he watched Li Chen play, he would always take the opportunity to play, so why should he be the one to play when he was no longer able to?

The factory manager, too lazy to listen to iboy's explanation, said directly, "I'll say it one last time, bot lane, focus on farming and developing. You're playing Tristana, trying to fight Ezreal in the early game? What are you trying to do?"

However, when both sides returned to their bot lanes, a crucial problem arose.

Uzi, who secured the first blood, was now far ahead of iboy in both level and development. Furthermore, with iboy completely dominating the bottom lane, Spicy Pot (MLXG) refused to leave the bottom side of the map.

Switch jungle camps, protect the safe lane at all costs, and then quickly snowball your advantage during the safe lane's power spike to end the game.

This was EDG's favorite tactic before, and now RNG is using it.

The factory manager also tried to clash with Spicy Hot Pot in the jungle, but Uzi's ability to play Ezreal finally came into play at this moment.

While Ming went to the jungle to help Spicy Hot Pot, Uzi was alone in the bottom lane and directly pushed the EDG bottom lane duo under the tower.

Faced with Uzi's pulling and tugging, iboy had almost no chance to retaliate unless he jumped in and fought head-on.

However, Ezreal has his E skill, and Jarvan IV and Karma are also in the lower jungle. Jumping in to fight them would almost be suicide.

At six minutes, Prince and Karma appeared in the mid lane at the same time. After helping Xiaohu push the lane, the three of them went to the dragon pit to take the dragon.

At this moment, Uzi suddenly gave up the lane. EDG's bottom laner was afraid that RNG would try to tower dive after taking the dragon, so he planned to push the lane back home quickly and gave up the minion wave without thinking too much.

"After being caught out in the first wave, EDG's bot lane is now much more cautious, but the problem of the bot lane disadvantage has not been solved. Now, in less than seven minutes, the CS difference has already widened to twenty. If Ezreal holds this wave of minions, the gap will probably widen to thirty."

Rita knew a little about EDG's inside story and took the initiative to steer the conversation to the bottom lane.

But Li Chen shook his head directly: "This is no longer a problem with the bottom lane. The only solution for EDG now is to replace the bottom laner with the top laner and send Renekton to the bottom lane to avoid RNG's bottom lane power spike and try to trade a tower to stop the loss. But it seems that they have no such idea at the moment."

At approximately 9 minutes and 40 seconds, the bottom lane tower is about to fall. If EDG retreats too slowly, more players will die. The top laner, Renekton, is currently just farming normally and hasn't put enough pressure on Cho'Gath. The mid laner isn't moving either; they can't fight this way.

The subsequent events unfolded almost exactly as Li Chen had predicted. After blocking the bottom lane minion wave, RNG recalled to base to replenish their supplies, and then began to slowly push the minion wave once they returned to their lane.

At nine minutes and ten seconds, the Prince flanked and placed a ward, and RNG's mid and top laners teleported to bot lane.

EDG reacted and tried to provide support, but Sejuani was in the top lane, and Renekton and Syndra were a few seconds slower to land, so there was simply not enough time.

Seeing Lulu fall and Tristana get eaten by Cho'Gath with low health, Clearlove quickly said, "Don't land! Push the top lane tower, Scout, keep farming."

The decision to abandon the bottom lane tower resulted in Ezreal's development being significantly accelerated.

As RNG transitioned to a lane-switching rhythm, EDG fell further behind, only able to watch as their opponents snowballed their advantage.

To make matters worse, the system added insult to injury by spawning a second dragon, a fire dragon, which significantly increased RNG's damage output.

Without anyone stepping up, EDG had no way to stop RNG's advance.

At the 39-minute mark, the two sides engaged in a final team fight over the dragon.

At this point, EDG was behind in economy, the Renekton's power spike was over, and the team fight resulted in a 0-for-4 exchange, with only Clearlove's Sejuani managing to escape and avoid being wiped out.

"Congratulations to RNG for winning the first game of this best-of-three series and taking the lead. Although EDG fought hard, their economic disadvantage was too great, and they were unable to turn the tide."

Guan Zeyuan glanced at Li Chen, not speaking too loudly. After all, everyone knew the relationship between Li Chen and RNG, and he didn't want to get too close to them.

Rita, observing Li Chen's expression and seeing that he didn't seem dissatisfied, continued, "Ever since that gank in the bottom lane, C-God's predictions have been almost always correct. EDG really needs to adjust their form."

Li Chen shook his head: "EDG wasted everyone's time in the last thirty minutes. Clearlove didn't dare to engage, the mid laner didn't step up, the bot lane made mistakes, and the top laner was invisible. It would have been better to let RNG push quickly. With this kind of performance, they'll all be scolded in the replay."

[If you don't understand, just ask. Who's the one who's insulting us?]

[nofe: Do you think I'll be the one to yell at you?]

[Adjusting the status? That requires adjusting the personnel!]

[C is just being stubborn; if you're so capable, go and fight.]

RNG: We finally won, don't mess with our brothers.

At this moment, in the EDG team's rest room, Abu was watching Li Chen's evaluation on TV when Clearlove and the others pushed the door open and walked in. Abu's face darkened and he started criticizing.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear what Ah Chen said? Iboy, what are you trying to do? You dared to jump in that wave? You think you're going to get an Infinity Edge as a starter?"

After criticizing iboy, Abu turned his attention to Clearlove: "And you, what did you do this game? How many times did you gank top lane? How many times did you use Sejuani's ultimate? Achen said top lane was invisible, but he didn't mention you, right? Are you out of your mind?"

"How am I supposed to do anything? Meiko keeps calling me to go to the bot lane, how am I supposed to go? The enemy Jarvan IV keeps invading my jungle, the support comes to gank me, and the bot lane is being pushed under the tower in a 2v1 situation, how am I supposed to fight?" Clearlove raised his hands and immediately entered "give up" mode.

After this game, he finally realized that EDG couldn't win in their current state; they were getting worse and worse.

Let's not even talk about the top lane. A Guang has been trained by Li Chen for a year, and he's only going to play to farm in lane. If you're hoping for him to get a solo kill, you're better off hoping the enemy gets carried away.

Iboy in the bottom lane has some skills, but not many. Against experienced players, he is easily outmaneuvered in lane and makes mistakes from time to time in the mid-game. He also received a real lesson from Sima Laozei before team fights.

Scout can still roam freely against second- or third-tier mid laners, but once he encounters a tough opponent, he becomes invisible throughout the game, transforming into a mid-lane ghoul.

There are four people on three lanes in the whole game, and none of them look like their father. What can he, a guy who raises his father in the Rift, do?
