League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Although there was a lot of infighting in the bottom lane, the game didn't collapse.

The opposing bot lane duo also had some coordination issues. Li Chen baited Karma's RQ a few times, and the damage affected the minions, so the minion wave was always kept in a rather ambiguous position.

However, the mid-to-high-end broiler chickens and smeb were not so lucky.

Cuzz had a great rhythm this game, successfully counter-ganking Lee Sin in the top and mid lanes, disrupting the rhythm of the top, mid, and jungle. In just fifteen minutes, all three outer turrets on Li Chen's side were destroyed.

If Faker were playing a champion like Lulu, Li Chen could still find opportunities to clean up in team fights, but Alistar can't reliably provide Ardent Censer buffs, which eliminates any hope of success in team fights.

After enduring twenty grueling minutes, someone initiated a surrender vote, and the others immediately followed suit, ending the game with five kills in a single second.

[Hey, isn't this the highest mountain? Playing ranked games, 0-0-0?]

The meta has changed; it's now the era of the bot lane. Top laners should just stick to playing tanky champions.

[Laughable, even with Faker as support they can't beat the opponent, they should retire!]

[The pro-government trolls are shameless; they should go home and nurse.]

[Some people have been playing for years and haven't won a single championship. Have they got the nerve?]

Li Chen completely ignored the trolls in the chat. After settling the fish balls for everyone, he directly asked Faker the crucial question: "Faker, who do you think made the biggest mistake in this game?"

"Aigoo, my teammates can't keep up with our pace, they're collapsing too fast." Faker, as always, displayed his stubbornness.

"Gu De Eddie!" Li Chen immediately gave this answer a thumbs up.

The two then played several more games without needing to fill in any more roles. With their skill level, they naturally dominated the Korean server, winning one game after another.

Before he knew it, it was late at night. Li Chen had just finished his live stream when the factory manager, who had been waiting for him for a long time, patted him on the shoulder.

"Let's have a meeting. The Summer Split starts in a few days, so we need to study the Summer Split version."

Li Chen followed the factory manager to the analysis room, only to find that everyone else was already in place, including Ai Luoli, iboy, and A Guang.

Seeing Li Chen sit down, nofe began to speak: "According to the currently released information, the version for the first week of the Summer Split is 7.10. Compared to the MSI version we played, there are several important changes."

The first thing is the Rift Herald rework. The new Rift Herald no longer has personal buffs, but you can summon a Herald to attack towers. Currently, this seems quite important for us, especially when C-God is split-pushing.

Facing the gaze from nofe, Li Chen nodded slightly in affirmation and said, "The priority of the Rift Herald should indeed be increased, even surpassing that of the Dragon. Moreover, we need to adjust the timing of taking the Rift Herald in each game based on our own lineup to maximize our benefits."

"Our top lane is basically a 100% advantageous lane, and our mid lane rarely falls behind in the region. Taking the Rift Herald is relatively easy for us, so there's no need to worry about that."

nofe paused and said, "The second thing to pay attention to in the next version is equipment, especially Ardent Censer, Banner of Command, and Gargoyle Stoneplate which was introduced in version 7.9. If these three items are not significantly changed, they may define all versions of the Summer Split."

We already know the Ardent Censer system very well; it's absolutely a core guarantee for late-game team fights. The Banner of Command and Gargoyle Stoneplate are both items designed for tanks. What are your opinions on this?

As Nofe finished speaking, a silence fell over the analysis room, and no one spoke for a moment.

Based on the current situation, everyone feels that the Summer Split will be a meta centered around the bottom lane, with tanks in the top lane as the front line.

In other words, the tactical importance of the top lane should be lowered, while the importance of the bottom lane should be elevated, and the game should revolve around the bottom lane.

But given EDG's current situation, who would dare to easily suggest removing Li Chen's core tactical role?

Not only did Nofe not dare to speak, but even Abu didn't dare to say anything at this moment.

The mere three million in breach of contract fees is like a sword of Damocles hanging over EDG's head. Abu is truly afraid that the team will have three million more in their account the day after he finishes speaking.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Chen shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, the next version is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Although the Ardent Censer system has improved the status of the bottom lane, it has also narrowed the gap between AD carries."

The incense burner has raised the floor of AD carries, significantly narrowing the gap between bot lanes across different teams. Therefore, in this situation, choosing a strong engage composition and having a dominant mid or top laner gain an advantage makes it easier to disrupt the game's balance and decide the outcome of the match.

Listening to Li Chen's analysis, everyone couldn't help but ponder it, feeling that it actually made a lot of sense.

But iboy, standing to the side, found these words rather harsh and felt that Li Chen was targeting him.

He believes his skills are definitely superior to Zet's, and that when Zet gets older, he can easily win games with Zet as the core of the bottom lane.

He will definitely be the protagonist of the entire EDG team, and even the entire LPL.

But now Li Chen says that the incense burner has narrowed the gap between AD and AD, which is equivalent to making him sit on the bench, isn't it?

As he pondered this, iboy suddenly blurted out, "So, according to you, we're still going to play against the meta and revolve around your top lane in the Summer Split? What if we can't win?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else in the analysis room immediately turned their gaze to iboy, their eyes filled with shock and confusion, as if they were looking at a warrior.

Actually, after saying that, iboy also felt a little regretful.

After all, he hasn't played a match yet. Although he has the reputation of being a genius AD carry, he hasn't proven himself in a game. Li Chen, on the other hand, has already made a name for himself on the field.

The two are not on equal footing within the team, and he can't afford to offend Li Chen now.

However, the words had already been spoken, and there was no way to get iboy to take them back; he could only continue to tough it out.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward, Abu suppressed the urge to scold iboy and tried to say a few words to ease the tension.

But Li Chen preemptively retorted, "Do you think I'm competing with you for a tactical position? Do you even have the right to do so? Whether you can play or not is not up to you, understand?"

Li Chen's straightforward and slightly cold answer sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

This was the first time they had ever seen Li Chen angry, and that he had reprimanded them so harshly.

The factory manager and Abu were originally quite optimistic about iboy, but now they have chosen to remain silent.

Li Chen's status within the team was never given by the team, but rather earned through his own abilities.

EDG had no other choice; with everyone yearning for victory, they could only move towards the optimal option.

Why did the phrase "the highest mountain on the road" appear online in less than half a year?

In short, he has solo-killed all his opponents in the game, and he has never been solo-killed himself.

The value of this statement cannot be fully demonstrated by mere data.
