League: Educating LPL is my duty.

"Since you're already here, don't leave!"

Li Chen fired at the barrel, and before the bullet hit it, he released the last barrel he was carrying, which just happened to put the ice and the barrel into the blast radius.

boom!

One bucket, two lives lost; the captain earns seven hundred gold coins!

At this moment, Thresh, who had been risking his life to delay the weapons from reaching the battlefield, threw his lantern at Li Chen under the tower.

After taking the third hit from the tower, Li Chen, with his lantern at nearly half health, left the tower and arrived at the battlefield where Jax and Thresh were locked in combat.

Smeb glanced at Li Chen's status and knew that he had no chance of winning against two opponents at once, so he quickly flashed out of Thresh's ultimate range and tried to escape back to the tower.

But the captain's ultimate skill hadn't ended yet, and the weapon was having a hard time moving on it. Li Chen controlled the captain to chase after it with basic attacks.

Finally, Thresh's Q skill was off cooldown, and he decisively flashed, used E to swing back his weapon, and then used Q to pull the enemy in, cooperating with Li Chen to kill him.

At this moment, the battle between the two at the blue buff location also came to an end. Zed was eager to come to the bottom lane to support his teammates, and in the end, he gave LeBlanc an opening, which turned into three hundred gold in LeBlanc's pocket.

The red team's counterattack failed, resulting in a four-for-one exchange, which became the death knell for this game.

Next, the red team completely lost the ability to launch a direct attack and could only passively accept the blue team's control of resources and pushing the lane. Occasionally, when facing the blue team's grouping up, they would accidentally give away one or two kills.

The game continued for twenty-three minutes, and the blue team easily secured the Baron Nashor and began to group up and push down the mid lane.

Below the high ground, Li Chen seized the opportunity when the opposing team was focused on the policewoman, and hit three people with a triple barrel combo. The damage from the three Infinity Edge armor penetration items caused the red team's battle line to collapse instantly.

Riding the momentum of their victory, Li Chen flashed in and secured a triple kill, successfully achieving a godlike status before the red team could surrender.

As the red team's crystal exploded, Li Chen cracked his neck and said into the microphone, "Brothers, did you see that? From now on, whenever you encounter Smeb's weapon, just play like the streamer, and you'll be invincible, okay?"

[Did you run into Smeb? Is C referring to me?]

[Laughs, do I even need to learn? I'd never even encounter that!]

I mainly play top lane, and so does Smeb, but we've never faced off in lane. Is this a case of "kings never meeting," or is he avoiding my challenge?

Seriously, I can't help but laugh when I think about that video from a couple of days ago, where someone said that anyone with a shallow champion pool should come out and complain.

[Rational discussion: Does beating Smeb prove that C is truly the best in the world?]

[You guys are making a big fuss over winning a ranked game? The other player wasn't even taking it seriously, and you're all bragging about it.]

This livestream, featuring Smeb, who was praised by the official media, was destined to generate a surge in viewership.

Soon, many people made videos of the match and uploaded them online.

Most people's opinion on this match is that "it's just ranked, Smeb wasn't taking it seriously." Even Li Chen's personal fans don't think that Li Chen is really better than Smeb.

After all, Smeb has been solo-killed in ranked games before, so one ranked game isn't enough to be convincing.

Amidst the heated discussions online, the Spring Festival holiday is gradually coming to an end, and EDG players are returning one after another.

After everyone had arrived, Abu convened a meeting to collectively discuss changes to the post-holiday version.

"With this patch, Riot Games has announced that Camille can officially be played in competitive matches. Although she has been nerfed multiple times, she is still quite strong. What are your thoughts, C-God?" nofe asked Li Chen.

Li Chen shrugged and said, "There's not much to say about Camille. I've already mastered her. My proficiency is no worse than Fiora or Riven. I can pick her and play her well. There's no need to focus my energy on her. I think we should study our next opponent, GT, first."

"GT? This team is pretty average. I think it should be considered the bottom team in the league, right?" Nofe really didn't have a good impression of GT, definitely labeling it as a noob team.

Li Chen did not refute: "GT team's overall strength is indeed not good, but their top laner gimgoon is a player who can withstand pressure and is very good at team fights and team coordination."

"You can't control him either?" The factory manager turned around and looked at Li Chen with some surprise.

In his mind, even if the opposing top laner was Smeb, Li Chen should have spoken with an air of "I can easily beat him." Now, to hear such a comment about a top laner from a weak team made him feel quite uncomfortable.

"It can be suppressed, but it's unnecessary."

Li Chen remained expressionless. He still remembered the game where Gongzi played Gangplank against TheShy. Gongzi didn't eat a single minion for several minutes and still played a significant role in the end.

This kind of matchup is boring. He prefers opponents like Smeb, who are relentless even when pressured and always try to farm creeps and out-manage him.

The factory manager seemed to see through Li Chen's thoughts, narrowing his eyes and saying, "So, in the end, you just want to shirk your duties and let A-Guang go up and fight this match, don't you?"

Ah Guang, who had been quietly pouring water for everyone, suddenly brightened up. He silently walked to Li Chen's side, added hot water, and waited for Li Chen's reply.

"I think it's fine to let A-Guang play GT. Let's experiment with some tactics," Li Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Abu thought for a moment and then nodded, saying, "GT isn't very strong. Let A-Guang go; it shouldn't cause any major setbacks."

"Brother Chen, have some tea!" Ah Guang brought over a teacup, his eyes filled with gratitude.

The factory manager, half-reclining in his gaming chair with his head resting on his hands, said, "Then let Ai Luoli go up and team up with A Guang. They play together a lot and have better teamwork."

That's right, Li Chen isn't playing, and Clearlove doesn't want to play either. The main reason is that without his top laner protecting him, he's getting used to the feeling of being able to dominate the enemy jungler.

However, the next second, Li Chen suddenly spoke up: "When we play against GT, I want to play mid lane. I think if we're going to test new tactics, we might as well go all the way."

Scout: Oh no? Are you coming for me?

The junior student suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at Li Chen.

He had long suspected that Li Chen's mid-lane play in ranked games wasn't entirely innocent; perhaps he wanted to replace him in the mid-lane position at any time?

Or to think about it even more seriously, with top laner A Guang, jungler Clearlove, mid laner Li Chen, and support Meiko, once that underage AD takes over from Z-King, it seems like EDG can play with an all-Chinese lineup, right?

The junior student was conflicted, but dared not speak. This year should have been his chance to establish a tactical role in EDG, but Li Chen's sudden emergence completely replaced him as the team's main player.

Even Abu has to consider Li Chen's feelings now, so how can he resist?

"But Scout shouldn't be wasted either. He could actually play AD carry in the bot lane. He's practiced Lucian very well."

Zet: ? ? ? ?

SO?

After going through all that trouble, did they just kill me, the bystander?
