League: Educating LPL is my duty.

"Lo, they haven't taken down Kalista yet!"

AHQ coach Green Tea frowned slightly, clearly surprised by EDG's decision.

In his plan, Kalista was a high priority, and EDG would definitely take her down immediately. Then, when they were the third champion to pick, they could release Jayce to pick him first.

As the game has been updated, Jayce's stats and mechanics have once again become a focus for some teams.

This hero, capable of dealing high burst damage from a distance in the mid-game even when in an advantageous or even even situation, can effectively counter the weakness of soft supports in lacking initiation tools.

But if they don't pick Jayce now, and EDG doesn't pick Kalista later either, then things will get complicated.

If they pick Jayce, then Kalista will be released to EDG. Kalista's strength and mechanics are even better than Jayce's; she's a true meta champion, and her priority for first pick is definitely much higher than Jayce's.

Against other teams, he can accept picking Kalista and letting Jayce go, but against EDG, this decision is not so easy to make.

As the time for the event was about to end, the team members began to remind Green Tea.

"Get a few swords!"

Green Tea gritted her teeth and decided to give it a shot.

Anyway, they usually can't beat EDG, so they might as well take a gamble and bet that Li Chen can't go against the meta.

As Fiora's portrait appeared in the player window, the entire room erupted in uproar.

On EDG's side, after seeing AHQ's decision, Li Chen smirked and said, "Looks like they really want to compete with me. Let's grant their wish and ban Lulu. Let's see what they have to say."

Lulu's profile picture went black, completely igniting the entire audience.

On the commentary stage, Miller exclaimed, "This match between EDG and AHQ is going to be mind-blowing! AHQ let Jayce through, and EDG countered by letting Kalista through as well. This pick is so unexpected!"

"The two teams made a silent exchange: you give up Jayce, I give up Kalista. Now it's up to AHQ to pick which one to pick first. But no matter which one they choose, EDG will get the other one. It's a 50/50 situation."

Guan Zeyuan quickly analyzed the psychological state of both teams, and they were basically the same.

Rita thought for a moment and said, "I think Kalista should be a higher priority for AHQ. After all, not every top laner is C-God. If you let Ziv pick Jayce, and he falls behind in lane, the situation will be very bad."

"Rita guessed right, AHQ still snatched Kalista, no doubt about it," Miller said, looking at the big screen.

[Awesome, AHQ is so brave!]

[C says: I wasn't planning on giving Jayce a skin, but who knew someone would actually give it up.]

Kalista is very strong; EDG must be out of their mind to let her out.

I admit Kalista is awesome, but what if I unleash a powerful attack from Jayce with three items at twenty minutes?

[It's not a three-piece set, nor is it a single enhanced cannon.]

[Man and cannon flying together, a thunderous crescent slash, huh?]

"Holy crap, are these guys really that reckless? They're actually giving you Jayce?" The factory manager almost lost his composure.

"If they dare to release him, then they'll have to accept the consequences of releasing Jessie."

Although Li Chen appeared calm on the surface, the slight upturn of his lips and the slightly trembling hands indicated that he was very excited.

Fight for a better tomorrow!

Immediately following their second pick, EDG also instantly chose Varus, focusing on long-range wave clear, taking kills if possible and ignoring those if not.

On AHQ's side, Green Tea stood behind his top laner Ziv, gently patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Don't be afraid, you're the best top laner in the LMS. We have Kalista, so you don't need to do anything this game. Just pick Kennen and farm the lane."

The jungler mountain immediately locked in Kennen, giving Ziv no chance to struggle.

Ziv looked at the screen and saw god丶C's ID paired with Jayce, and all he could say was: If you're so good, then you fucking come and fight!

Ziv really doesn't know where his coach got the courage to release this hero, which was only released once a year and made all teams around the world assume that it was a must-ban hero when playing against EDG.

Before Ziv could say anything, Green Tea dropped another bombshell: "Let's pick Janna on the third floor. It can prevent the enemy from engaging. We have Kalista, so we're naturally invincible in team fights."

Janna protects the team, Kalista protects Janna, the top and jungle provide crowd control, and the mid and bot lanes supplement the damage output. He thinks this team fight lineup is perfect.

As long as Jayce doesn't get too fat, he has no chance of losing.

"Karma, what else is there to say? Just use up all your resources." Li Chen offered his third support option without hesitation.

There was no dissent within the EDG team; they all obeyed their leader's orders and quickly decided on Karma.

Then the second round of player removal began, with EDG going first. As usual, they first framed Lee Sin and Buddha, lest Clearlove (the player's boss) lose his mind and take them away.

Next, the two sides took turns carrying the prince, the rock sparrow, and the demon princess to their respective positions; these were all part of the regular procession of attendants.

When it was EDG's turn to pick, the mid lane was clearly the priority among the mid and jungle players. Scout currently has two options: if he wants to play a laning-oriented style, he can pick Corki, Azir, or Syndra; if he wants to play a supportive style, he can pick Ryze.

But Scout didn't say anything, because he always felt that the one he really wanted to use was the one with dual pistols, since having two weapons gave him a natural advantage.

"Get Syndra!"

Seeing that Scout was about to be afflicted by misfortune again, Li Chen immediately made a choice for him to prevent a dark upheaval.

"Syndra? Then you can play Corki. The jungler can pick Sejuani. We don't lack damage this game. You just need to provide initiation." Green Tea quickly made a decision. He thought this lineup was OK.

When it came to EDG's last pick, with only the jungler left to choose, everyone knew what EDG would pick with their eyes closed.

You pay, I'll come!

The factory manager wasn't particularly happy about choosing this old friend; if he could, he would actually like to prove himself as a blind monk.

There was no significant shift in strategy in this game; both sides quickly substituted players to prepare runes, while the coaches went offstage to shake hands.

Looking at the lineups on both sides, Li Chen slightly twisted his neck and cracked his knuckles.

Many teams in the audience were also watching this match, especially SKT. They wanted to know whether Li Chen's signature hero could defeat the only true god of the current version.

If EDG loses this game, or if they don't win decisively, it will give many other teams a chance to win.
