League: Educating LPL is my duty.

After the emotional manipulation subsides, it's time to move on to the violence.

Because high-ranking players on the Chinese server are unwilling to play with him recently, Li Chen has no choice but to come to the Korean server to find friends.

After logging into his account and selecting a position to queue, Li Chen glanced at the chat and said, "I haven't encountered a suitable opponent in the top lane lately. I really hope the system can match me with someone stronger, not some Tom, Dick, or Harry against a streamer, okay?"

[You're wild, but I really like your kind of wildness; the wildness you exuded was just right!]

Everyone says that a carry can go berserk, but I've never seen anyone who can lane against a carry without losing.

[What a joke! One day I'll pick Malphite top lane and show the enemy what a pushover looks like.]

[I miss the days when C-rank players were constantly getting crushed by top laners; it was simple, yet pure.]

The game started quickly. Li Chen glanced around and didn't see any familiar faces among his teammates, so he banned Teemo, the champion he disliked the most.

But for some reason, both sides ended up using Fiora and Jayce in the board positions.

When it was Li Chen's turn to choose a hero, he glanced at the opposing team's lineup, thought for a moment, and finally chose Captain Orange.

Entering the loading screen:

Blue team:

Top lane - Captain

Jungler - Lee Sin

Mid lane - LeBlanc

ad——Female Police Officer

Support - Thresh

Red Team:

Top lane - Weapon

Jungler - Gragas

Mid Lane - Zed

ad——ice

Support - Lulu

When the IDs of both sides appeared before everyone's eyes, the live stream chat suddenly erupted.

Wow, C actually succeeded with his method! He ran into Smeb.

[This wasn't a successful strategy, nor was it a guaranteed success. C played a captain, and that backfired.]

[I've never seen C play Gangplank before, is he trying to expand his champion pool? Can he even beat Smeb?]

[What's wrong with practicing new champions? Didn't you still beat Gangzi's Fiora by practicing Camille before?]

[Gangzi? Smeb? Why did you think of comparing the two of them?]

Seeing the anti-Korean sentiment filling the chat of his live stream, Li Chen snorted and said, "It's just beating Smeb, why are you all so scared? Watch how I play, and you can beat Smeb too."

Upon entering the game, Li Chen bought a corruption potion and logged in, simultaneously activating serious mode.

Although Smeb never won a world championship in his previous life before retiring, as a top laner who could surpass Faker and was rated as the world's best player in Season 6 by the official League of Legends, Smeb's peak strength could definitely rank among the top five of all professional top laners in history.

Controlling the captain to quickly reach the lane, Li Chen didn't waste any time and immediately seized the initiative to enter the top lane bush. He then left a barrel under his feet and face-checked the bush to enter the red team's first bush.

There was no one in the bush on the red side, so Smeb didn't choose to contest the bush. Li Chen quietly waited for the minions to come to the lane from the bush.

Soon the minion wave arrived. Smeb moved very carefully, sticking close to the last ranged minion and probing forward near the river, trying to find the captain's position.

Li Chen used a little trick here. The moment he walked out of Hong Yicao, he pressed the dance button. It was a very short time, just a simple hand gesture.

But to Smeb, this scene was a sign that there was a bucket in the grass.

"Don't use our first fire knife lightly. It's the key to our first exchange of blows and securing lane control. Like I said, put barrels in the melee minion group to pressure the weapon's movement and see what skills he's learned."

When the weapon saw the captain leave a barrel in the melee group, and the first layer of health was about to disappear, the weapon's first reaction was to tentatively move forward, making a move as if it wanted to attack the barrel.

Li Chen stood on the other side of the barrel and made a basic attack move as well, but the next second, both of them withdrew their basic attacks at the same time, switched their weapons, attacked a minion, and pulled away. Seeing that Li Chen still did not move, they had no choice but to step out of the barrel's range.

Li Chen smiled and could only say that Smeb was indeed exceptional.

If he were playing the weapon, he would most likely have handled it the same way. He's even certain that Smeb doesn't have any skills at the moment.

The barrel's health dropped again, reaching one bar. Li Chen first pretended to attack the barrel and then pressed S. Seeing that he hadn't managed to trick Smeb into entering the barrel's range, he attacked the barrel for real the second time, killing the low-health melee soldier.

At this point, the weapon was close enough to reach the minions, and a basic attack finished off a low-health melee minion.

Li Chen controlled the captain to take a step forward, raising his fire blade. Smeb was unsure whether Li Chen was going to use a real attack or a fake one, so he ultimately chose to activate his E skill to dodge.

Li Chen withdrew his fire blade and retreated. Smeb did not attack the captain, but instead used a basic attack to finish off the last melee minion before chasing the captain while tanking his E skill.

The time it takes for Li Chen to first attack the minions with his weapon and then chase after them is enough for him to enter the middle bush.

Smeb interpreted the captain's actions as a strong indication that there was likely a barrel in the bush. So, when he sensed that he was nearing the edge of the barrel's blast radius, he immediately turned his weapon towards the blue team's ranged minion, using the large fan attack to stun and deal damage, preparing to seize lane control.

At this moment, the second wave of minions appeared. Li Chen walked out of the bush, threw a new bucket at the feet of his weapon, and then made a gesture of turning his head to go back into the bush.

This made Smeb think that he had failed to trick Captain A into exploding the barrels in the bushes, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to attack the minions and immediately moved away.

Li Chen took advantage of the weapon's retreat, placed another barrel at his feet, and attacked twice in succession. With the barrel's health naturally dropping, he directly attacked and exploded the newly spawned minions.

"Damn it, he tricked me." Smeb was a little annoyed. He thought his positioning had tricked Captain A into blowing up the barrel.

But in reality, Li Chen never left a barrel in the middle of the bushes; the barrel he placed at the beginning had long since disappeared.

"OK guys, we've got lane control, easy, right?"

Li Chen has now successfully taken control of the lane. He is standing at the edge of the area where the weapon was retreated from earlier, and he starts to auto-attack the minions to farm the lane.

Smeb could only auto-attack the melee minions a couple of times from a distance. His earlier retreat had already cost him the chance to reach level two, and forcing a lane control now would definitely put him at a disadvantage. He could only play defensively and wait for his skills.

After devouring the low-health melee minion, the captain leveled up to level two and fired a Q shot at his weapon.

Did you click Q?

Smeb seemed to see an opportunity. After taking the damage from Q, he moved closer to the barrel at the captain's feet.

Seeing Smeb walk into the barrel range while attacking minions, Li Chen first placed a barrel in the middle bush, then raised his hand to attack and destroy the barrel at his feet. Smeb took the damage and started attacking the captain.

The captain now had a fire blade and was about to attack, but Smeb activated his E skill. Li Chen sheathed his blade and retreated into the middle bush. In the instant that the weapon lost his vision, he placed the last barrel in the red team's first bush.

In this round, Smeb wanted to kill him, but he also wanted to kill Smeb!
