League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Li Chen was stunned by RNG's actions. Three top laners picked Jayce. Who was the idiot who came up with this idea?

"Coach, lock in Lucian! It's stupid not to play Lucian this game!" Li Chen gave the tactical instructions without any hesitation, his little hands already trembling with excitement.

Why do people say that Lucian is good against Jayce?

Not only because Lucian completely counters Jayce, but also because Jayce can switch between mid and top lanes, while Lucian can switch between mid, top, and bottom lanes, going wherever you go.

Even if Lucian is on the opposing team, it's not impossible to go into the jungle.

Although nofe was unaware of Lucian's advantage against Jayce, he still trusted her unconditionally: "Then pick Lucian, and then lock down Ashe."

Z-King has a very high priority in hero selection, not for any other reason than that he is the Ice King.

Miller exclaimed on stage, "Wow, RNG chose to pick Jayce in the top lane with three bans, while EDG immediately locked in Lucian and Ashe. This draft is brilliant, both sides were well-prepared."

Although Rita didn't understand much, she could tell that Lucian was meant to counter Jayce, given that Ashe was out.

"EDG's Lucian is probably designed to counter Jayce. Jayce is a champion who can be played in the mid or top lane, and Lucian can obviously do the same for EDG. It's just a question of whether Lucian will actually be effective against Jayce."

Feng Ge saw that EDG locked in Lucian and felt that there shouldn't be a big problem. After all, Jayce also has a ranged form, so he wouldn't be like Shen who was knocked out of the sky without even touching the opponent.

"Take Kog'Maw, and Xiaohu, stick with Syndra. Keep Scout under the tower and don't let him move."

After seeing RNG's choice, EDG countered by locking in Braum, focusing on bot lane laning and protection, aiming to survive.

RNG then banned Taliyah and Sejuani in their second round of bans, while EDG banned Lulu and Elise.

In the next phase of champion selection, EDG first locked in Gragas as their jungler, leaving the mid laner for last. RNG, in order to ensure the strength of their mid and jungle, locked in Kha'Zix as their jungler and Karma as their support.

With the final pick coming up, nofe asked again, "C-God, who's using Lucian?"

"I'll definitely use it. Junior, you can choose whatever you want!" Li Chen really wanted Lucian to play against Jayce, especially RNG's Jayce.

"I'll use Orianna!" Scout picked a classic champion to counter Syndra. When these two champions fight, it's basically a matter of ID; there's no question of which one counters the other.

With the clockwork locked, the lineups on both sides are now completely finalized.

But Miller, looking at the final pick of Orianna, joked, "If it were any other team picking Orianna, I would definitely be certain that Lucian would be top lane and Orianna mid lane. But since EDG picked her, I think we should think about it some more."

Rita laughed and said, "That's right. After all, C God has also played Orianna in the top lane and delivered an MVP-level performance. However, after EDG exchanged heroes, they still gave Orianna to Scout and Lucian to the top lane."

Seeing that her opponent had been decided, Lightmy couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

He had never laned against Lucian with Jayce before, and this was Li Chen's Lucian, so it was impossible for him not to be nervous.

Entering the loading screen:

RNG (Blue Team):

Top Lane - Jayce

Jungler - Kha'Zix

Mid Lane - Syndra

ad——Big Mouth

Support - Karma

Red Team:

Top Lane - Lucian

Jungler - Gragas

Mid Lane - Orianna

ad——ice

Support - Braum

"EDG, keep fighting!"

"EDG, keep fighting!"

"Go RNG!"

"Go RNG!"

After the fans on both sides shouted their support for each other, the game officially began.

EDG's five players quickly grouped up and went to the bottom half of the map, where they aggressively invaded RNG's jungle, thanks to the presence of Braum.

EDG's goal in this move wasn't to gank, but to figure out RNG's jungle movement and provide a basis for EDG's early game strategy.

After leaving two hidden wards, the entire EDG team quickly withdrew from the blue side jungle. Li Chen and Scout followed closely behind and grouped up to enter their own red buff area to see if Kha'Zix was coming to invade their jungle.

Nothing happened in the final stage. Although Spicy Hot Pot was helpless, they only had one scanner, and they couldn't clear the wards properly. In the end, they could only start the red buff by stepping on EDG's vision.

Li Chen controlled Lucian to come to the lane and chose to stop near the river mouth, while Letme, based on the advice in the group, first took the top lane mid bush.

When the minions on both sides came online, Li Chen didn't see Jayce come out, which confirmed that Jayce was still in the bush, but he didn't rush to push the lane.

Because Spicy Pot started with red buff, he could gank top at level 2 or level 3, while Gragas planned to gank bot at level 2, which wouldn't happen in a short time. Pushing the lane at this point would be a bit risky, and there was also a possibility of getting stuck in the lane.

The minions on both sides attacked each other, while Lucian and Jayce stood on either side, motionless, waiting for the other to push the lane first.

Finally, when the melee minions on both sides were down to their last sliver of health, Lightmi couldn't hold back any longer. He adjusted his position and executed a QA combo, taking down three melee minions.

Having gained vision of Letme, Li Chen immediately raised his hand and unleashed a well-positioned Q that extended through minions, clearing the minions and hitting Jayce at the same time.

Lightmy suffered a loss, but he chose to swallow his anger and not fight back. He continued to hide in the bushes and waited quietly for the ranged minions to lose health.

Because Jess didn't fight back and walked back the moment he left the bush, Li Chen lost sight of Letme and was unable to land two basic attacks passively.

"Can he really tolerate that much? I can understand it a little?" Li Chen was a little suspicious for a moment.

RNGUzi gets the first blood!

First blood suddenly broke out in the bottom lane, and Uzi was ecstatic: "I've never had such a wonderful start before. Everyone stay calm, I'm going to carry this game."

At the same time, Clearlove's cursing voice suddenly came through EDG's voice chat: "Damn it, that Spicy Pot actually circled around to level two to counter-gank! Meiko and I lost our Flash, and the enemy Uzi didn't have Cleanse!"

Li Chen glanced at the situation in the bottom lane and saw that Gragas was already lying dead on the spot, while Kha'Zix, who had gotten an assist, was heading towards his own bottom jungle.

"No way, would you dare play like this if the praying mantis didn't come to attack?"

Li Chen was so angry he laughed. He had been focused on defending against the Kha'Zix, so he hadn't pushed the lane. Now what was there to defend against?

Kha'Zix, who just finished counter-ganking the bot lane, won't be able to come to the top lane for a while. By the time he gets to the top lane, at least Gragas can arrive in the top jungle at the same time.

A-rank minion, push the lane directly!

Lucian fired his dual pistols incessantly, clearing out enemies quickly, and even moved towards the blue team in advance.

With no minions blocking their way, Lightmy thought for a moment and finally decided to steal a reinforced cannon before going out.

However, the two were quite far apart. As soon as the shot was fired, Li Chen used his E skill almost immediately to dodge it. Then he moved forward and got close to Jayce, who had no way to avoid it. Jayce was hit by the AQA combo and his health dropped significantly.

Lightmy suffered a great loss, but he didn't dare to attack. He could only retreat towards Ichisaku using the acceleration gate.
