League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 388, 41: The Unsolvable Split Push
Twelve minutes later, the top lane tower collapsed, and Li Chen soloed the tower's bounty. He then led Clearlove to start sweeping C9's jungle.
If the match is evenly matched, C9 could look for an opportunity to call for reinforcements from the bottom lane and then gang up on Li Chen and Clearlove.
The problem is that Li Chen's current equipment and level make him a formidable opponent for the entire C9 team. He can easily take on two opponents at once, and even three opponents can escape. With the addition of a Gragas, he can dominate the jungle.
Syndra in the mid lane felt the pressure and immediately retreated to the tower, trembling against the bottom half of the map, fearing that a barrel would suddenly fly out of the darkness and blast him to LeBlanc's feet.
Soon, the top lane minions naturally pushed to the second tower, but Impact could only watch helplessly as the tower devoured the minions, not daring to step out of the top lane high ground.
Because the jungle area is so dark right now, so dark that even light can't penetrate, he bets that as soon as he appears within the range of the second tower, Fiora and Gragas will flank him from both sides and kill him like a minion within five seconds.
Li Chen wandered around the jungle area for a while and saw that the top laner was not giving him any opportunities. So, after pushing back the minion wave, he decisively set his sights on the mid lane.
Seeing Fiora and Gragas emerge from the jungle entrance behind her, Syndra quickly retreated towards the second tower, her finger on the Flash button, ready to use Flash at any moment.
However, Li Chen's target this time was not him, but the first tower in the mid lane.
After forcing Syndra back, Scout immediately pushed the minion wave under the tower, and then the three of them started attacking the tower.
Sejuani has been circling around the bottom lane for a while, trying to find an opportunity to break through from there, and she simply doesn't have time to support the mid lane.
Being all alone, Jensen didn't want to struggle anymore. Since he didn't feel safe under the first tower anyway, he might as well give up the first tower and take over the second tower.
After the mid-lane tower was destroyed, Li Chen immediately led the mid and jungle duo back to the top lane to begin chasing and intercepting the weapon.
Impact managed to farm a wave of minions and reach level six while Li Chen and his two companions were pushing the tower, but he was still powerless against the three's encirclement and pursuit, and obediently gave up his life.
Seventeen minutes later, Li Chen went out with brand new equipment, took the Rift Herald that the factory manager had just destroyed, and then pushed the minion wave alone towards C9's top lane second tower.
Meanwhile, the other Western players from EDG also gathered in the mid lane, and both lanes began to attack simultaneously.
"This is a split push from the west, with C God pushing the top lane alone. C9 seems to have some ideas here. The jungler and support are sirening. Are they trying to gank C God? But can the three of them beat him? It seems a bit difficult."
The weapon is only level eight, and the equipment is similar to the support's. C9's jungler and support are also not very developed. On the other hand, C God has already built Ravenous Hydra and Trinity Force, as well as a Maw of Malmortius. He can tank and deal damage. Can they really gank like this?
Miller was somewhat suspicious of C9's movements. With Li Chen's current equipment, he was completely dominating, and C9's top, jungle, and support players were no match for him.
There are also internal disagreements within C9 at this time. Whether it's team fights or split pushing, they are no match for EDG.
If we want to catch Li Chen when he is alone, let alone how many people it would take to beat him, what will happen to the mid-lane turret once he leaves?
This is the biggest problem faced by all teams in Season 7. Without a strong initiator like the support, it's difficult to initiate team fights with just a jungler.
In this situation, if the split pusher on the sideline is at a disadvantage, it's not GG, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "League of Legends: Educating LPL, My Duty Is Not To Be".
If they can't even stand under the tower, that would be a truly devastating blow.
If C9 doesn't help the side lanes, the side lanes will be pushed all the way down. If they do help the side lanes, the mid lane will be very difficult to defend.
That's the most terrifying thing about 41 points.
C9's struggles led to the loss of the second turret on the top lane, which was quickly destroyed by Li Chen alone.
Impact was furious when he saw Li Chen continuing to push the high ground; Jian Shou was treating him like he wasn't human.
Despite his anger, he ran away quickly, since he really couldn't beat them.
"Someone come help me defend the tower, the high ground is about to fall."
"I'll go and keep watch for him."
Jensen volunteered to take on the important task, since there was no one else who could go besides him.
The news of one less player in the mid lane immediately reached Li Chen. Li Chen did not tower dive to fight two opponents, but he also did not retreat. He remained on the outer edge of the top lane high ground, applying pressure.
With Syndra no longer defending the mid-lane tower, Tristana alone is clearly not enough.
Scout entered the jungle, scanned to clear vision, and began to apply pressure from the side. Clearlove, with his big belly, took the lead into the tower, took a sip of wine, and then walked blankly towards Tristana.
C9 was at a disadvantage and outnumbered, so they didn't dare to initiate team fights, otherwise they would be wiped out in one fell swoop and had no choice but to give up their second tower.
Seeing that the mid lane had been successfully taken, Li Chen decisively returned to base to upgrade his equipment, and then teleported to the bottom lane to start pushing the lane.
Twenty minutes later, Li Chen took down the second turret on the bottom lane, and at this point, all three outer turrets of C9 had been destroyed.
EDG didn't switch to Baron Nashor next, but continued with a 4-1 split push, with Xiren pushing top and Lichen pushing bottom alone.
C9 still opted to have Weapon and Syndra guard Li Chen, but this time Li Chen didn't avoid the fight like before.
"Is C God trying to tower dive and take on two opponents with this positioning? He approached Syndra and used his Q skill to poke Syndra's weak point. Syndra tried to push him away with her E skill, but C God... turned around and used W to stun the weapon that was leaping up.
The weapon was hit by the ultimate skill, and instantly killed. The ultimate skill's healing circle was activated, and Syndra's combo barely scratched her. She left the tower and returned, while C-God was almost at full health. Syndra escaped, and C-God didn't chase, instead starting to push the tower.
Impact watched as his screen turned gray again, and he was too exhausted to say anything.
He was afraid of being stunned, so he didn't dare to use his E skill and wanted to stack his passive first. Who knew that Syndra would betray him?
C9's defense was already fraught with difficulties, and with the weapon killed, the bottom lane became completely undefendable, causing their paper-thin defense to crumble instantly.
After Li Chen destroyed the bottom lane inhibitor crystal, he released the Rift Herald buff on the spot, forcing C9 to return to defend the inhibitor turrets, and took the opportunity to destroy the mid and top lane inhibitor crystals.
With all three lanes breached, C9 is now struggling to even leave their base and can only watch as EDG secures Baron Nashor and pushes forward.
At 24 minutes, the entire EDG team, with the Baron buff and a massive number of super minions, pushed all the way to overwhelm C9's Nexus.
Miller immediately announced the result loudly: "Congratulations to EDG, they have won this match, which also means that they have achieved a perfect record in the first round of the group stage. They only need to get one point in the second round to basically guarantee their advancement to the knockout stage."
