League: Educating LPL is my duty.

At this moment, in the EDG team's voice chat, Li Chen was giving Zz1tai some last-minute coaching.

Malzahar's fight against Zoe wasn't just easy; it was exceptionally easy.

The passive shield, the W skill's tiny bugs, and the ultimate's strong suppression are practically tailor-made for Zoe. Coupled with Malzahar's wave clear mechanics, it's almost impossible for Zoe to suppress Malzahar during the laning phase.

However, Malzahar is not without his weaknesses. As one of the least mobile heroes, Malzahar himself has a hard time solo-killing Zoe.

But that's not something Zz1tai should be thinking about. Just unleash your ultimate during team fights and throw EQW at minions during laning phase, and Zz1tai's mission is accomplished.

Both sides stood facing each other in the river, each with their own thoughts. Li Chen saw that A Guang also met him at the upper river mouth on time. They looked at each other and then simultaneously threw a lump of unidentified substance at each other.

Morgana's skill missed!

EZ's skill hit successfully!

Seeing the gold coin lucky bag appear in his equipment inventory, Li Chen didn't rush to open it, intending to save up more to open as many as he could.

In the lower half of the map, EDG had a relative advantage at level 1. They didn't attack, and Li Ning naturally didn't want to provoke them. Both sides started their jungle and went to lane normally.

In the top lane, after Li Chen hit Morgana, he immediately ran to the red side tower and blocked Morgana, who was still in the tri-bush.

Not wanting to be worn down any longer, and seeing that this path was blocked, Ah Guang had no choice but to turn around and take a detour, returning to lane from the red buff location.

But soon after the minions came online, A-Guang realized that he had made a mistake again.

Li Chen was waiting in front of the tower to physically block the lane. Having been trained by Li Chen for a season, A Guang naturally knew what Li Chen wanted to do and how to deal with it.

Unfortunately, Li Chen forced him to take a detour, arriving a little later than the minion wave. This meant that by the time he got close, the three melee minions had already gathered together.

"Game over, A-Guang. Remember this lesson. I've told you so many times, the scheming in the top lane starts from the moment you leave the base." Li Chen said softly, then turned and walked into the bushes.

Upon hearing this, the factory manager turned and glanced at him, silently praying for Ah Guang in his heart.

The two sides clashed near the red side's half of the map. Then, Li Chen emerged from the bushes and walked directly towards A Guang.

As the distance closed, A Guang threw out his Q skill, and Li Chen didn't intend to dodge. He took the stun head-on and started using basic attacks while blocking minions.

A simple and unpretentious 5A-level combo, with a health potion used midway through, forcibly trading blows with A-Guang.

After a few exchanges, A-Guang was starting to struggle. Trading blows with an AD carry was clearly not Morgana's forte.

After enduring the experience gained from two melee minions, A-Guang retreated back to the tower, but was hit by Li Chen's Q before leaving.

Then Li Chen went back to the bush to refresh the minion aggro, and when he came out again, he was stuck right next to the minion wave, no longer giving Morgana a chance to farm the wave.

Actually, the two were roughly equal in health at this point. Li Chen didn't gain any advantage from the health exchange, but he firmly held onto lane control.

Ah Guang waited until the second wave of minions arrived before moving forward again, and Li Chen retreated accordingly.

Just over two minutes later, both players reached level two simultaneously, seemingly evenly matched, but experienced players knew that Morgana had already lost too much.

Because the red team currently has the advantage in the top lane minion wave, Morgana should have reached level two before Ezreal. However, due to missing the minion wave, Morgana lost the opportunity to take the lead.

"Here it comes, C is going to force a trade again. There are a lot of minions on the red side, but they don't care about C at all. What should Morgana do? She tries to catch Ezreal and auto-attack him with her Q, but Ezreal has a dash ability and jumps right into Morgana's face."

Looking at his health bar and recalling Li Chen's teachings, Ah Guang, though unwilling, still pressed Flash.

Although 300 drops of health might not seem like he'd die anytime soon and could get back to the tower, he knew that if he didn't use Flash soon, he might be done for.

EZ can unleash an AQA burst at level 1 or 2. If he follows up with a flash and another auto-attack, he can instantly evaporate over 200 HP from a squishy target. This was taught to him by Li Chen.

"Scout, I can't take it anymore, let's switch lanes!" Standing under the tower, A-Guang looked at EZ, whose health was also low, and no longer had the courage to go up and farm the lane.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Scout was taken aback, but after adjusting the camera to check the situation on the top lane, he knew that A-Guang hadn't lied to him.

"Wait a bit longer. Use your teleport first, force Chen Ge to use his teleport as well, then we'll switch lanes. You can come to mid lane then."

"OK!"

Ah Guang agreed and then immediately returned to the city.

Li Chen is not in good condition right now, and he's out of healing potions. If A Guang goes back to town to resupply, then Li Chen must follow, otherwise he won't be qualified to fight later.

However, if Li Chen returns to the city at this time, then when the two teleport back, A Guang will continue to fight Li Chen until they are both low on health again. Then A Guang will return to the city and let Zoe teleport up.

When a full-health Zoe fights Li Chen's low-health Ezreal, it's like using three lives to fight two lives.

"Want to use a tag-team approach?"

Li Chen knew A Guang and Scout too well. Seeing Morgana retreat to a deeper area, he immediately guessed what the two were planning to do, so he decisively began to clear the lane.

When he calculated that Morgana should be coming down soon, Li Chen retreated into the middle bush, but then immediately retreated towards the blue team's first bush, leaning against the wall.

A-Guang didn't see Li Chen retreat into the blue team's grass, but felt that this was an opportunity to interrupt Li Chen's return to the city, so his eyes lit up and he quickly pressed the teleport button.

After landing, A-Guang decisively threw a W at the middle bush, but the next second he found that his Arcane Comet had not been triggered.

Ah Guang hurriedly put up eyes in the grass, only to find that there was no one there at all.

"Where are they? Their return to the city shouldn't be over yet!" Ah Guang said, somewhat puzzled.

But Li Chen smiled slightly as he watched this scene.

Faker, who was far away in South Korea with no matches to play and had been diligently studying Lee Chen's playstyle at the base, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.

"What a pity, they could have given god_C a little trouble."

Huni was completely confused: "Sang-hyuk hyung, why do you say that? What's the difference?"

Faker pondered for a few seconds and slowly said, "LNG's idea is probably to have Morgana replace god_C's teleport and status, and then have Zoe lane against him, so that the top lane might collapse a little later."

However, this required Morgana to immediately start clearing the minion wave after landing, using minion pressure to force god_C to use his teleport. But Morgana was tricked into using her W skill by god_C, and with god_C actively clearing the wave, the red team's minion wave advantage was greatly reduced...

However, Morgana is no longer able to push the lane quickly. God_C could easily save his teleport and walk to the lane, and he would also have an extra Long Sword. The top lane matchup is beyond saving.

After listening to Faker's analysis, Huni stood there dumbfounded, questioning the meaning of life.

If Li Chen, who was playing a match at the time, could hear this long speech, he would definitely give Faker a thumbs up and say: "Faker, you've really made something of yourself! You've even learned military strategy!"
