League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Question: How should I play against a Jayce who has two items at fourteen minutes and is level twelve?

AHQ provided the answer in this game.

After the bottom lane turret was destroyed, AHQ moved their bottom lane duo to the mid lane, Corki went to the top lane, and Kennen went to the bottom lane.

They thought they could hold out a little longer by playing like this, but EDG didn't waste any time with them. Li Chen and the bot lane duo came to the mid lane at the same time. The three of them stood in front of the tower, each using a skill, and directly forced Janna to use her ultimate.

Without any defensive support, the mid-lane tower was instantly destroyed by EDG.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen moved to the top lane and, together with Scout, took down the top lane tower. Then he ran to the river to pick up the Rift Herald and recalled to base on the spot.

When Li Chen teleported to the mid lane again, facing a Jayce with higher armor penetration than his own, An gradually entered a routine laning phase.

Leave the house - low health - recall to town - leave the house - low health...

In sixteen minutes, with almost no resistance, EDG successfully pushed down the second mid-lane tower.

Immediately afterwards, EDG swept through the jungle and moved to the bottom lane. The three-poke system took the lead, and after a few AoE damage attacks, the entire AHQ team was left with low health.

Eighteen minutes later, they destroyed the bottom lane's second turret, then released the Rift Herald to take down the bottom lane's high ground, leaving only a lone crystal untouched.

Watching this tower-pushing rhythm, Miller exclaimed, "C God's Jayce is too outrageous. His buffed cannon has almost never missed since the beginning, and his equipment is too good. One shot from him will take away at least half of everyone except Sejuani's health."

On the surface, AHQ only lost five kills this game, but in reality, they spent most of their time traveling. Look at Varus, he was behind in CS early on, but now he's actually overtaken Kalista in gold.

"Actually, AHQ also wanted to try their luck, but EDG never gave them a chance. EDG controlled all the vision in the jungle, and Kennen never had a chance to flank. It was too difficult to initiate a good team fight head-on."

Currently, the only hero with a chance to initiate a team fight is Sejuani, but the key is that Sejuani is a single-target initiator. Varus in this game is building armor penetration items and doesn't need Ardent Censer, so Karma's first item is Mikael's Crucible. So, who are you going to engage on?

Guan Zeyuan analyzed the situation facing AHQ, which can be summed up in one word: despair.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chen controlled Jayce to fire another shot, successfully hitting the plane and Kennen. The damage from his newly upgraded equipment left both of them with almost no health.

Rita laughed and said, "The plane's health is too low, it needs to go back to base. Kennen is also out of fighting power. In that case, the top lane second tower will also fall. Next, Baron will spawn, and AHQ has no vision, so it will be difficult to contest it."

[It's over. One shot from Jessie, and there's no way to fight back.]

This is why you can't let Jayce carry the game; are you kidding me with high-tech weaponry?

Truth exists only within the range of cannon fire.

Enjoy it while it lasts, we probably won't see it at the World Championship.

This life is going to be very difficult.

The rest of the process went as expected. After EDG destroyed the second turret in the top lane, the entire team went into the jungle. AHQ's vision was quickly cleared, and the entire jungle was plunged into darkness.

Viewers, with an omniscient perspective, can better understand how desperate AHQ was.

If they don't go for Baron, EDG can end the game in one fell swoop with the Baron buff. But if they go for it, not only is it impossible to win in a head-on team fight, but also, in this pitch-black jungle, how many lives would it take to find out?

In the end, AHQ gave it a try. They split into two groups, with Kennen and Corki entering the jungle from the mid-lane second tower. Except for the support, everyone else switched to the Vision mod.

The first two visions targeted the bushes behind the blue buff and the three wolves, but nothing was seen. Then the third vision was used to target the dragon pit, revealing the support Karma, who was then eliminated.

"Where are they? Check the grass at the river entrance." Mountain was terrified at the entrance to the jungle and didn't dare to go in.

"You guys should take the top lane minions and go through the river entrance; you really can't get into the jungle," westdoor suggested.

This suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by the bot lane duo, as the lanes are undoubtedly safer than the jungle, where people can hide anywhere.

However, just as AHQ changed their plans and cautiously explored the area, EDG had already started attacking the dragon.

In this game, EDG only missed out on the first Fire Dragon. They then secured the second and third Earth Dragons, making their dragon-slaying speed very fast.

When the AHQ jungler trio reached the top lane mid lane with the minion wave, a powerful cannon shot suddenly flew out from the river.

With a single shot hitting two targets, and thanks to the standard armor-piercing set, Janna's true form was almost knocked out, and her health dropped to around 300.

"Holy crap, this guy's here!"

An used his foresight to reveal Li Chen, but he only revealed one person.

The top and mid laners, who had just entered the river from the middle lane and were trying to get closer to the dragon pit, heard a mournful cry from the dragon through their headsets.

"Let's leave! Let's leave!"

At this point, the AHQ members had no other ideas and simply grabbed their buckets and ran away.

However, escaping is also a skill. The plane has W, which allows it to pass through walls instantly, while Kennen has no mobility. As soon as he turned into a mouse and accelerated, he was flash-controlled in place by ZetR.

Then a wave of ranged AoE attacks came crashing down, and Kennen couldn't even spare his Zhonya's Hourglass, so he just lay down on the spot to rest.

In the backstage lounge, the SKT members had various expressions upon seeing this.

Koma shook his head slightly and said, "We still can't let Jayce go. EDG's core is the top lane. We can't let him play so comfortably, otherwise this Jayce will be like a cheat code in the mid-game, and we won't even have a chance to team fight."

"EDG's tactics are still the same as before, starting the tempo around the top lane. Our trump cards should be very effective at crucial moments, but it's not suitable to use them in the group stage," Faker said thoughtfully.

"There's no need to fight for short-term gains in the group stage. Whether we finish first or second in the group won't affect us much. If we all make it to the final, we'll see what happens in the final."

As SKT members discussed the game privately, the match on screen entered its final moments.

Faced with EDG's fierce advance, AHQ's position was as fragile as paper, and Li Chen blasted it into an unfinished building.

The mid-lane high ground, mid-lane crystal, and bottom-lane crystal were destroyed one by one.

EDG then moved to the top lane, pushing the minion wave towards the high ground, repeating the scene from before.

Finally, with the top lane crystal shattered, EDG retreated to their base to replenish their supplies. Then, super minions advanced from all three lanes simultaneously, leaving AHQ with no chance to even put up a fight.

The game ended at 23 minutes and 47 seconds when the base crystal shattered. At this point, the total kill score was only 8:0, but EDG had widened the economic gap to 1.2. This way of losing the game was too suffocating.

This is no longer a question of whether we can win or not; it's that there's simply no way we can win.

AHQ's self-sacrifice served as a warning to all teams: never let Jayce through when playing against EDG.
