League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Scout's reinforcements were forced to stop, and the bottom lane turret was also taken down, putting Li Ning in a situation where they could no longer continue fighting.

At twelve minutes, EDG grouped up and pushed the mid-lane tower. Knowing that the top and bottom lane towers were already gone, the Li-Ning team realized that the mid-lane tower was undefendable, so they simply gave up after a short while.

During this time, Crystal tried to shoot again, hoping to find an opportunity to launch an attack, but he only managed to hit the spider, which was of little use, so he didn't dare to continue.

Fourteen minutes in, after EDG destroyed the mid-lane tower, both sides retreated in unison, with Li Ning sending his top and mid laners to farm the top and bottom lanes respectively.

As for the mid lane, it was left to the bot lane duo and the jungler. Meanwhile, Condi could go wherever he wanted, and everyone would give him resources.

Even so, Condi's development has already fallen behind. As a team jungler, his current development is not much better than that of the constantly exploited Elise, and he is not going to amount to anything.

What caught Li Ning off guard was that after retreating and securing the Rift Herald, EDG didn't bother with the top and bottom lanes or recall to replenish their supplies. Instead, they immediately grouped up and pushed into the mid lane again.

Led by the Rift Herald, the group headed straight for the second mid-lane tower.

Seeing that the bot lane duo was still trying to struggle, Zz1tai decisively flashed and used his ultimate to tower dive and control the support Lulu, while the rest of the team swarmed in instantly.

Seeing that things were not going well, Hanbing immediately flashed to create distance, but Li Chen was relentless and decisively followed up with E and Flash. Pierce and Waters Curved Blade took a breath, and then Clearlove caught up and flashed to E.

Seeing the bottom duo instantly eliminated, Condi didn't dare linger on the high ground and retreated directly to the rear, waiting for the top and middle players to return and push out together.

However, EDG clearly wouldn't give them a chance, and it's simply impossible for three people to defend against five, especially in a disadvantageous situation.

However, EDG has no immediate plans to push the crystal; they will retreat after taking the high ground.

At this point in the match, it was completely over. Team Li-Ning had no chance to fight back. Their damage output was severely insufficient, and even if they managed to engage, they couldn't kill anyone instantly. They could only retreat step by step.

At seventeen minutes, EDG destroyed the second turret in the top lane, and then moved to the mid lane to push the crystal, trying to force Li Ning to make a desperate move.

However, Li Ning lacked the courage to back down and chose to continue to retreat. So after destroying the crystal, EDG turned around and went to the bottom lane to take down the second tower and the dragon.

Twenty minutes quickly passed, and EDG cleared the jungle vision in advance, forcing a team fight at Baron Nashor. No one from the Li-Ning team came to help; they simply pushed lanes quietly and waited for the game to end.

At 14 minutes, EDG split pushed, and Li Ning sent three people to defend Li Chen, but the bottom lane was pushed all the way to the enemy's base.

"It's over! After losing the first game, C-God stepped up to take over from the unwell Flandre and won a point, tying the score at 1-1," Miller announced loudly.

Meanwhile, on the big screen, Li Chen waved to the Li Ning team members, and A Guang gave a smile that looked more like a grimace.

He thought that if Li Chen went to the mid lane, he could escape this calamity, but he was clearly overthinking it.

Now he finally understands how he felt as an LPL top laner last year; this game is damn hard to play.

The Li-Ning team members returned to the rest room with unsteady steps, where coach Chris had been waiting for a long time.

This crushing defeat left him very unhappy, and he immediately started putting pressure on him: "Ah Guang, Scout, what were you two doing this game? I admit you had ideas, but too many ideas, you know? What are you two afraid of?"

"Can't you accept being at a disadvantage in the top lane at all? Why do you have to put all your bets on skirmishes and lane swaps? What's the benefit of fighting in the early game?"

When confronted with the question, Scout glanced up but didn't say anything, though he was gathering his emotions.

Ah Guang glanced at the coach, his face grim, and said, "What do you mean by that? I've played with Brother Chen for a year, I know better than you how good he is. At level one, he first blocks minion aggro and whittles down the opponent's health, and at level two, he controls the lane..."

These maneuvers, which I said would take a minute, he accomplished in less than a minute. If we don't play like this, we're doomed. The longer we drag out the lane against his Ezreal, the worse our chances of dying will be.

Chris's expression darkened further when he saw Ah Guang talking back: "So what's the result now? What were you fighting with?"

"Then let whoever you think can fight go ahead. I admit we can't win. Do whatever you want with us!"

Scout promptly offered his support, while simultaneously turning his attention to his substitute mid-laner, Guoguo.

Actually, Guoguo should have been Li Ning's starting mid-laner this year, but he was relegated to the bench because of his arrival. However, he managed to get along well with the coach in order to earn a spot on the court.

He guessed that Li Chen would most likely play in the mid lane in the next game, so he simply wanted to take this opportunity to avoid the fight.

Chris's face grew increasingly grim: "What do you mean by that, Scout? Can't I even say something if you guys aren't playing well?"

"Think carefully about your draft picks before you say things like that. If you're playing a jungle carry against EDG, who do you think will give you a chance?" Scout didn't give Chris any face and directly retorted.

Even if we disregard the technical aspects of his and A Guang's joining the Li Ning team, their skill level is undoubtedly a pillar of the team. In the last game, when Li Chen wasn't playing, they didn't play badly.

He felt it was normal that he couldn't beat Li Chen; now, no team in the world dared to say they could definitely beat EDG.

Now that they've lost a match, the opponent is using this kind of tactic to put pressure on the two of them. Scout, as a champion mid laner, doesn't fall for this at all.

"I said I'd use Ezreal, and you gave me Morgana, a jungle carry? We can't even figure out how to play in lane, how are we supposed to farm in the jungle!" A-Guang challenged again.

"What's your attitude now? How are you talking to...?"

"Alright, now that Li Chen has entered the arena, there's really nothing we can do if we can't win. What's there to say? Just do your best. Losing one round isn't unacceptable!"

Li Ning team manager Zuo Wu interrupted Chris's speech and directly sided with Scout.

For Li Ning, Chris is dispensable, but Scout and A-Guang are very valuable.

Chris lost his support and his momentum immediately deflated, leaving him with no choice but to remain silent.

"Scout, you guys should figure out how to play the next game. I just got word that Flandre is better now, and Li Chen will be going to mid lane to beat you next game."

Zuo Wu patted Scout on the shoulder, his tone filled with comfort and encouragement.

He knew that Scout was afraid of going up against Li Chen, and he understood that mentality.

After all, the story of Xi Ye, who was fearless, being captured and released three times by Li Chen in one day is still circulating on Tieba and has been made into various memes.

Scout turned to look at Guang, and although he didn't say anything, his meaning was quite clear.

Just moments ago, Ah Guang was on the same side as Scout, but now, faced with a request, he immediately turned around and started whistling.

"Light, shall we continue next round?" Scout asked.

"Ahem, I'm going to the restroom!"

Ah Guang turned and ran away. In the matter of "better to die than to die," people couldn't even empathize with themselves from twenty minutes ago.
