League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Kkoma was slightly surprised as he watched EDG take turns locking in Nocturne and Taliyah.

Taliyah is one thing, as she's a fairly standard roaming mid-laner, but Nocturne wasn't really on his radar. At least this season, it's the first time he's seen this champion in a match, which is quite unexpected.

"Nightmare and Taliyah, huh? That's a bit troublesome. The pressure on the side lanes is quite high."

Koma frowned. He had to admit that he had fallen behind in the draft phase this time, and their lineup selection was somewhat passive.

Just then, Faker suddenly spoke up, "Coach, don't worry, I'll keep Scout under control and won't let him easily find an opportunity to coordinate with the jungler."

Kkoma glanced at Faker and nodded slightly.

As the Cassiopeia icon appeared on the fifth floor of SKT, Clearlove couldn't help but be surprised: "Wow, you actually guessed right, the enemy mid laner really did use Cassiopeia."

"Faker didn't have many options in this game: Azir, Twisted Fate, Cassiopeia, and Orianna. I let Scout pick Orianna. Twisted Fate doesn't have enough damage in the late game, so SKT didn't dare to put all their eggs in one basket with Huni. So, they could only pick Cassiopeia."

As Li Chen spoke, he glanced at another hero. Actually, Faker had another option in this game: to let the jungler choose an AP hero, and then he would build Zed himself.

But Faker clearly still had the idea of ​​going toe-to-toe with him, thinking he could make a move, which is a common flaw among geniuses.

"What about the Tsar? How do you know he won't choose the Tsar?" the factory manager pressed.

"Because Tsar doesn't have a reverse R-flash, he can dodge crowd control skills."

As Li Chen finished speaking, the two sides had completed the hero exchange.

Entering the loading screen:

EDG (Blue Team):

Jungler - Nightmare

Mid laner - Rock Bird

SKT Red Team:

Jungler - Lee Sin

Mid Lane - Cassiopeia

Support - Lulu

On the LPL commentary stage, looking at the final lineups of both sides, Miller said with some satisfaction: "EDG did a very good job in the draft this game. The mid and jungle support speed is very fast, and they have an absolute first advantage after level six."

"In comparison, SKT's lineup seems a bit passive, and Faker's choice of Cassiopeia is a bit hard to understand. I feel that Azir or Twisted Fate would be more suitable for this lineup."

Guan Zeyuan seemed to remember something and tried to say, "Actually, I think Faker picked Cassiopeia because of a mechanism consideration, which was revealed by C-God when he was laning against Faker's Cassiopeia in a live stream."

Rita, Li Chen's loyal straight man, immediately realized something: "You mean Cassiopeia's R-Flash is guaranteed to hit?"

"That's right. We all know that C-God is very agile and his control skills are usually hard to hit. But in this game, SKT had two control skills that were guaranteed to hit, which had a significant impact on C-God." Guan Zeyuan nodded.

[I know R-flash always hits, but what's the other one?]

[Upstairs, are you underestimating me, Lulu, the Yordle?]

[Petrifying into sheep, not even one unit of mercury is enough.]

[Here we go again. Did SKT pick Cassiopeia just to counter the carry? They think so highly of themselves!]

[Otherwise, who is it targeting? God? But He didn't come!]

As the game progressed, EDG, relying on their strength with Nautilus and Ashe, was more dominant in the level 1 team fight than SKT, so they chose to aggressively invade SKT's lower jungle.

Instead of directly confronting EDG, SKT sent Peanut to EDG's top jungle, resulting in a trade between the two teams.

This approach has both advantages and disadvantages.

One advantage is that when the jungle areas are swapped, Peanut's whereabouts are basically an open secret for EDG.

Whether it's the factory manager or the online team, they can roughly determine the location of the peanut plant and then take action whenever a peanut plant is not nearby.

The downside is that Peanut will be in the top lane for the first three minutes, putting more pressure on Li Chen, who needs to be careful.

Furthermore, SKT will have a general idea of ​​the factory manager's whereabouts, which means that it will be difficult for both sides to catch him in the earlier stages.

However, for EDG, who have the mid-jungle duo of Nightmare and Taliyah, a stable mid-jungle duo reaching level six in the early game is definitely what EDG wants to see.

As the minion wave arrived, Li Chen showed weakness to Huni at the start of the game, not going up to contest lane priority, but instead adjusting his position by using Q from behind.

When the two sides' minion waves collided, Huni emerged from the bushes and refreshed his first vulnerability, which, unsurprisingly, landed directly behind Riven.

Seeing this, Huni immediately turned around and created some distance, intending to reset the opening before fighting again. He wasn't afraid that Li Chen would dare to steal the lane, since Peanut was nearby.

What he didn't expect was that Li Chen didn't try to steal the lane, but instead followed him directly, running towards the red team's defensive tower.

Huni didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that Li Chen would only follow for a couple of steps and would stop following once he walked a little further back.

But Li Chen did not do as he expected. Even when Huni had reached the edge of the defensive tower, Li Chen stayed behind, never allowing Huni to create distance.

"Ugh, this person is disgusting!" Huni was speechless. Wasn't this just plain disgusting?

Although he could force a refresh of his passive by continuing to run towards the tower, he might lose minion experience later, and the time it would take to go back and forth would be enough for his passive to refresh on its own.

Left with no other option, Huni had to turn around and change his laning strategy at level one.

When Li Chen saw Huni turn around, he immediately retreated. He couldn't guarantee that Peanut wouldn't suddenly gank top at level two, so he wouldn't easily trade blows with Fiora for the time being.

When the two of them got back to the minions, both melee minions were already low on health. Li Chen used the edge of his second Q to kill two minions, and then immediately used his third Q to retreat.

Huni didn't actively engage in a trade of blows this time because he needed to farm minions, so both sides remained at peace, except that Li Chen missed farming a melee minion.

Then Fiora's passive was refreshed, and this time the passive appeared at the upper right angle, which made Huni a little restless. He immediately started pushing forward on the lane, wanting to find an opportunity to poke her.

From a normal perspective, if both sides deal maximum damage at this point, Fiora wouldn't be able to out-trade Riven with her Q ability.

However, the two sides swapped jungle areas in this game, leaving Li Chen alone in the top half of the map, isolated and helpless. So Huni just happened to get a G... taking advantage of the jungler's momentum.
