League: Educating LPL is my duty.

With Syndra and Twitch locked in, SKT's lineup immediately became much more three-dimensional, and the backup strength of these two heroes is obviously on point.

Nofe looked at Syndra's icon and said with some concern, "Scout, are you confident you can withstand Syndra's offensive? Your task is very important this game; you must withstand her pressure."

Scout nodded slightly: "Sion is pretty tanky. As long as Clearlove takes care of me occasionally, there won't be any problems. Once we get that item, the mid lane will be much easier."

"Okay, then let's choose!"

After nofe nodded in agreement, he walked behind Li Chen and asked, "C-God, will you use this Spear of Vengeance or should Zet use it?"

EDG has prepared more than one approach for the Kalista + Lulu + Ardent Censer combo, which can be used in both the top lane and the AD carry, and may even be more effective in the top lane.

But Zet was brought to EDG by Nofe after all, and he wanted to give Zet a chance to perform on this stage. However, who will ultimately use him depends on Li Chen's decision.

Li Chen didn't answer, but instead asked, "Zet, this round is the stage for Vengeance Spear, how about being the protagonist for once?"

Zet's expression changed slightly after hearing the translator's relay: "Brother Chen, Coach, I think I'd better not. I feel it's safer for Brother Chen to use him. I want to practice more, and I'm sure I can do it by the Summer Split."

Kalista was destined to be the protagonist of this game. Although Zet's proficiency with Kalista was improving day by day, he still didn't dare to be the protagonist when facing SKT in this kind of match.

Especially since Li Chen hasn't lost a single game so far, he doesn't want to become the team's core player for the first time and then let Li Chen's invincibility be broken, otherwise he might really not have a chance to play in the summer season.

Li Chen was aware of Zet's concerns and was willing to give him a chance, but given Zet's current mindset, he was unlikely to be able to perform to his full potential.

"Then I'll play this game. You can start trying it out in the Summer Split. Ardent Censer will become more and more important in the future."

After a brief exchange, the final split of Vengeance Spear was determined, and Nofe didn't hesitate any longer, immediately ordering his men to take down Ivern.

SKT's support pick is a tanky support, so they can't build Ardent Censer. Among the remaining junglers, only Ivern can build Ardent Censer for the AD carry, which is one of the reasons why EDG likes to ban Ivern.

"Sion? EDG's champion picks are getting weirder and weirder. Are they planning to let god_C play Sion?"

Wolf's tone was filled with surprise and doubt, after all, it was really not a decision that a human would make to let a player like god_C play tanks.

Kouma also found it strange at this moment, after all, in his impression, Nofe was not the kind of coach who would waste his talents.

Furthermore, he doesn't believe that the other party has enough influence in EDG to decide which hero god_C uses.

As the saying goes, there's always something fishy going on when things are unusual, but he can't figure out what kind of monster EDG is right now.

"Let's get the grapes, EDG's draft is too weird, ignore them!" Kkoma ultimately chose to follow his own ideas.

Subsequently, EDG and SKT took turns banning Elise and Fiora.

Seeing that SKT was still targeting the top laner, Clearlove couldn't help but grin and say, "SKT still hasn't realized that we have Kalista in the top lane. I bet they'll be completely dumbfounded soon."

Li Chen rolled his eyes: "It would be a miracle if you could guess that."

In the second round, EDG went first, locking in Ziggs without much consideration, leaving Clearlove's jungler for last.

In the LPL live stream, Guan Zeyuan was also wondering why EDG would give Li Chen a Sion, but when he saw that EDG had picked Ziggs on the fourth floor, he was stunned for two seconds.

Then he suddenly said, "Zz1tai, EDG has picked Ziggs on the fourth floor. That makes sense for EDG's lineup. It seems like Ziggs has never been played in the mid lane by EDG before, at least not this season."

Miller echoed this sentiment, saying, "Indeed, whenever EDG picks Ziggs this season, they almost always go bot lane to fill the AP damage gap. So, in this game, EDG's lineup... Kalista top lane?"

Rita said, "It feels like the Spring Split. I still remember C's Kalista. He could clear the top lane in three minutes and then camp the high ground with his support. But SKT probably hasn't realized that yet."

Guan Zeyuan nodded and said, "SKT will most likely help Huni pick a champion that can hold the lane. If they think EDG's top laner is this Sion, then the outcome of this game may be decided from the start."

To be honest, if you're not familiar with the carry build, who would guess that Kalista is for the top lane in this lineup?

SKT probably did some research on EDG, who knows?

[That's right, SKT knew it when Kalista was camping the second tower and getting a kill at eight minutes.]

I declare the score 2-0!

[Could this be considered EDG's second evolution?]

SKT didn't realize that Kalista might go to the top lane. The information they gathered didn't seem to attract their attention in the game where EDG used Kalista in the top lane during the Spring Split.

"The jungler can build Kha'Zix this game, and the top laner can use Shen. Although he is a bit slow in pushing the lane, his E skill can interrupt Sion's charged Q, and his ultimate can cancel out Sion's ultimate. He can always follow up and support the others."

Koma gave Huni a champion that's relatively easy to play against, Sion, so at least in terms of support, Huni won't be weaker than Sion.

As for laning, he felt that if Huni could still get solo killed by Sion while playing Shen, then he might as well retire.

With SKT securing the top and jungle positions, nofe finally smiled.

Shen was wary of using the Spear of Revenge, especially since it was Li Chen's Spear of Revenge. He even wondered if Huni might develop a psychological block from this match.

Pig Girl, locked on!

Picking up his old tricks again, and facing a nemesis lineup of SKT and Peanut, Clearlove couldn't help but crack his knuckles.

On the SKT bench, after seeing the lineups for both sides finalized, Kkoma felt that this game was pretty good. At least in the late game, they had a real chance to win team fights, and the early and mid-game would be easy to get through.

In team fights, once Kalista is eliminated, EDG's lineup basically lacks consistent damage output.

"Play well, guys! We can't afford to lose this game. I believe you're the best. EDG is just a big obstacle on our road to the championship. Let's get past them!"

After boosting morale, Koma took off his headphones and walked to the center of the stage to shake hands with Nofe. However, as he passed Huni, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that EDG's hero switching speed seemed... a little slow?
