League: Educating LPL is my duty.

The group stage schedule wasn't too tight, but to take advantage of the National Day holiday and weekends, six matches were scheduled every day for the first round of group stage matches.

The first match of the day is between RNG and FB from Group C.

As a wildcard team that fought its way through the play-in stage, FB has some talent, but not much.

Facing RNG, a genuine LPL "major region" second seed, FB had almost no chance to put up a fight and was easily defeated.

The audience wasn't particularly interested in this match, since it was just a second or third-rate team.

In the second match, European Hope G2 faced Samsung. The two teams were not far apart in strength, and the game was relatively even. However, Samsung's macro play and vision control were too good.

As the game progressed into the mid-game, Samsung capitalized on their superior ability to find opportunities, successfully accumulating an advantage and ultimately winning the match.

The loss in the first match was undoubtedly a huge blow to G2 and the European fans.

However, in the third match that followed, the IMT team from the North American region was utterly defeated by Longzhu, which made the European audience cheer.

G2 and Samsung played a close game, while IMT was completely outmatched by Dragon Ball, so EU > NA is a no-brainer.

However, seeing Dragon Ball's strong performance, some people couldn't help but be more cautious about this team.

The factory manager also said seriously, "This Dragon Ball is really strong, no wonder it was able to win the LCK Summer Championship."

"They're good at stomping weaker opponents. Their individual skills are decent, but their overall performance is just so-so. With a soft support in the bot lane, their AD carry is destined to only have room to perform in the mid-to-late game. Scout can easily handle the mid lane. As for the top and jungle... hehe!"

Li Chen quickly analyzed the Dragon Ball team's strengths and weaknesses, his smile remaining unchanged.

Nofe agreed, saying, "Yes, the biggest trap in this version is that the bot lane should build a support that provides enchantments. It seems like the bot lane's damage output ceiling has increased, but it has reduced the pressure on the bot lane in lane. This doesn't really matter between teams that are actually quite evenly matched."

However, if the top, mid, and jungle lanes encounter strong opponents and are suppressed or even crushed, then the game has nothing to do with the bot lane anymore. Furthermore, even enchanter supports will find it difficult to roam and gank; the top, mid, and jungle lanes are the true answer to the current meta.

Although EDG is not afraid of Longzhu, most teams are still wary of this LCK number one seed. Teams that are confident of making it into the knockout stage are even more prepared to conduct targeted research in advance.

In the fourth match, GAM faced off against FNC. FNC, from Europe, suffered another defeat, this time at the hands of a wildcard team, which was hard for many European viewers to accept.

North American viewers, on the other hand, felt a sense of satisfaction and showered GAM with praise.

The fifth match then began, this time featuring teams from Group A: SKT versus C9, who had fought their way up from the play-in stage.

Logically speaking, there is a visible difference between the two teams, with SKT holding an absolute advantage.

However, C9 played a little trick on SKT at the start of the game. Their mid, bot, and jungle players secretly invaded SKT's bottom jungle just before the jungle monsters were about to respawn, and ended up catching Peanut's Rek'Sai and securing the first blood.

However, these tricks were ultimately just tricks. In the subsequent matches, SKT quickly regained their footing, turned the tide through more stable operations, and gradually eroded neutral resources, eventually successfully defeating C9.

After a short halftime break, the camera returned to the commentary booth, where Miller spoke first: "Okay, welcome back to the game. After a short break, we will be joined by EDG from our region and AHQ from the LMS region."

Guan Zeyuan then added, "Actually, in terms of sheer strength on paper, there is still a certain gap between the two teams. If AHQ doesn't prepare any special tactics, this match might be quite difficult. However, the good news is that they are on the blue side this time, so the banning pressure will be relatively low."

Rita nodded naturally: "Indeed, when you face C-God, you naturally face the pressure of being banned by Jayce, Galio, and some strong top laners. It's not easy to play against them if they're allowed to come out, and it's hard to withstand the strong heroes of the current version."

The pressure to fill positions is said to mean that this game should be made so that positions can be filled.

[To be direct, get someone out of there; C can go play in the lower-middle tier.]

[C is out, wait, why did he close his eyes before even hitting the target?]

[Holy crap, we're just raiding AHQ, are we really going to end up with a C item?]

[AHQ, go pry my eyes open, I'm not kidding.]

At this point, the screen had switched to the character-collecting phase. AHQ collected Galio first, while EDG collected Cho'Gath instead.

However, everyone's attention was clearly not on the person in question, but rather on a small shot below where Li Chen had closed his eyes, silently displaying his stunning good looks.

Honor Points: 4

In the final match of the Summer Split, the system tasks, the championship rewards, and the FMVP rewards provided Li Chen with a total of 4 honor points.

With the global finals about to begin, Li Chen felt it was time to turn his hard work and sweat into cash.

"System, let me see your limits. Add one point to each of your operation, hand speed, and reaction speed, and then upgrade your team battle skill to 95."

As the order was given, Li Chen suddenly felt a strange power rush into his brain. This was an improvement he had gained through countless efforts, and it was terrifyingly strong.

"This promotion is truly a testament to my hard work and dedication; it's as solid as a mountain, without the slightest hint of superficiality!"

As Li Chen slowly opened his eyes, the audience who saw this scene, especially Xiao Heizi who knew Li Chen well, almost called the police on the spot.

"Hey, wake up! It's time to take care of them. The other side has taken down Galio and Camille. What do we say now?" Clearlove interrupted Li Chen's thoughts.

Looking at the people on either side, Li Chen was about to say "Kalista," but then swallowed his words and instead said, "Lo!"
