League: Educating LPL is my duty.

In the second round of champion selection, OMG first picked Lucian, ensuring the laning strength of the bot lane. On the other hand, EDG's first pick in the second round was Syndra, the mid lane bully.

When it was EDG's turn to pick their last hero, everyone, from OMG's coaches and players to the viewers, couldn't help but feel tense.

Li Chen's fans, in particular, want to see him use Riven to completely dominate his Renekton, but they also want him to play it safe and not break his 100% win rate myth. It's like a daily battle between their left and right brains.

Guan Zeyuan, watching the big screen, also tried to evoke emotion from the audience: "It's the last pick. EDG only has the top lane left to choose. So what champion will C-God pick? Is it... Ezreal? He's locked in! What kind of lineup is this?"

OMG was completely bewildered. Although they had given up hope that Li Chen would pick Riven, what the heck was this Ezreal?

"What does the other side mean by this? Who are they planning to play top lane?" Mingzhe asked quickly.

"I don't know, I've never seen this lineup before. Is it Ezreal top lane? How can we counter that? The top laner will be crushed!" Mid laner Leng Shao looked at the setting sun and suddenly felt that the game was already over.

"It's okay, no matter what top laner he plays, we'll still play as we initially agreed. We don't need to care what he plays. Once Renekton reaches level three, he can basically guarantee a kill with the help of Elise." Xi Yang encouraged everyone and also boosted his own confidence.

"Then play it safe in the top lane. Don't get poked too much in the early game. Get to level three first before you start fighting."

Mingzhe gave a few instructions and then had the bottom lane pick Karma.

Soon, the heroes of both sides were exchanged, and OMG and the audience finally knew the laning lanes for this game.

Entering the loading screen:

EDG (Blue Team):

Top Lane - Kalista

Jungler - Gragas

Mid Lane - Syndra

ad——Ezreal

Support - Lulu

Red Team:

Top lane - Renekton

Jungler - Spider

Mid laner - Rock Bird

ad——Lucian

Support - Karma

Looking at the lineups of both sides, Guan Zeyuan remained silent for a while before saying, "EDG has brought us a different lineup again this game. After Lucian in the top lane, EDG has brought Kalista in the top lane. However, facing OMG's strong top-jungle combination of Renekton and Elise, the situation in the top lane is probably not optimistic."

[If other teams picked this lineup, I'd just say they were doomed to lose, but with EDG doing this, the opponent is probably doomed to lose.]

The moment C confirmed Kalista as the top laner, the game was already on its last legs.

[Keep shouting, what else can C do besides choosing such disgusting things?]

Seeing a lane bully like Renekton, I don't dare pick him anymore, so I'll just pick an AD carry to get by.

There are so many Real Madrid fans today, is it because your team got thrashed?

The game started normally. Li Chen didn't even go to the jungle. After buying equipment, he went straight to the top lane bush, intending to give the crocodile some strength.

The reason why the combination of Renekton and Elise is so strong is because Renekton's W hard crowd control, combined with Elise's E skill, can provide a long period of control and high burst damage.

But what if the crocodile can't reach level three, or even level two? OMG, what should we do then?

OMG didn't dare to try anything fancy and just started normally. At the same time, Leng Shao pointed out Li Chen's summoner spells: "This guy has Exhaust and Flash. You two be careful. One combo might not be enough to reliably kill him."

"It's okay, the spider can come and catch me at level three. As long as I level up to level two, I can use Flash to bite him and he'll definitely die." Sunset leveled up his E skill at level one. He didn't have high expectations; he would consider it a success if he could smell the experience at level one.

But will Li Chen let him get away with it so easily?

As both sides' minions came online, the crocodile followed a ranged minion from the red side, wagging its tail as it walked out.

Li Chen didn't rush out and remained crouched in the first grass of the red team. Xi Yang also knew that Kalista was likely in the first grass of the red team, so he stood very close to the river.

Soon, the two sides' minion waves began to converge. The crocodile didn't see Kalista and didn't dare to actively attack the lane, so he could only walk around waiting for an opportunity.

At this moment, Kalista finally emerged from the grass and approached the crocodile along the open space between the red melee and ranged units.

Once within basic attack range, Li Chen timed his attack to hit the crocodile during the gaps in the minions' basic attacks, then slid to the side.

Seeing that the minions' health was still quite good, Xiyang knew it was a bit early to use his E skill, as he might miss out on experience and get badly damaged. So he took a step back towards the river.

"Dude, if you keep playing like that, it'll be over soon!"

A smile appeared on Li Chen's lips. He landed a basic attack on the minion and then jumped towards the crocodile.

Here's a small detail about Li Chen: he didn't attack the melee unit, but instead attacked the red team's ranged unit.

The crocodile entered the basic attack range again, and Li Chen began to frantically auto-attack the crocodile. His runes brought a lot of attack speed, and each basic attack didn't hurt particularly much, but the high frequency made up for it. Combined with his passive displacement, he was able to keep up with the crocodile's movements.

The setting sun was chased and attacked three times. With no other option, it had to walk into the riverside bushes first.

Li Chen did not continue the pursuit. He positioned himself between the river bushes and the minion wave, and then auto-attacked the ranged minion he had just attacked.

But now the melee minions are low on health, so Xiyang couldn't help but come out of the bushes, wanting to use his second E to farm minions and create distance.

Li Chen still doesn't know what skill the crocodile has learned, but judging from Xi Yang's movement, he guesses that the crocodile has most likely learned the E skill. So after the crocodile enters the basic attack range, he chooses to first perform a basic attack and then jump to the left.

Xi Yang seized the opportunity, used his E skill to get to Kalista's face, and habitually launched a basic attack.

However, his basic attack caused a major problem. The blue team's ranged units focused their attacks on the sunset instead of continuing to attack the melee units.

Li Chen raised his hand and attacked the red team's melee minion. He then jumped away towards the red team and drew his spear, killing the minion and slowing down the crocodile.

Xiyang took two steps to adjust his position, then released the second stage of E to try to create distance, but it was no use. Li Chen chased after him while taking a moment to auto-attack the red team's ranged minion that he had just laid out with two auto-attacks, and then continued to pull out the spear.

The crocodile was slowed down again, and its health dropped to below half. Sunset finally realized something was wrong and quickly drank a health potion and ran home.

However, his positioning was too poor. The second E only brought him to the same level as Kalista, and he was also slowed down. At this point, he couldn't create distance between himself and Kalista, and could only be chased and attacked by Kalista all the way.

Seeing his health rapidly decreasing, the crocodile had no choice but to use Flash. Kalista immediately followed with Flash, chasing him all the way to the tower and landing the last two auto-attacks. Then, she used her E skill to pull out the spear, and the crocodile, with only 100 HP left, died instantly under the tower.

Vengeance Spear gets First Blood!

One level, three pluckings; if you can't create distance, full health is the kill threshold—that's Kalista.
