League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 92 Why Won't You Let Me Play?
Around 28 minutes in, both the Ancient Dragon and the Great Dragon were about to respawn. Meiko realized that the two dragons were about to spawn simultaneously and quickly asked, "The Great Dragon and the Ancient Dragon are colliding, what do we do?"
If they take one of the lanes, RNG might take the other one in the process, which is not a situation EDG wants to see.
The factory manager thought for a moment and said, "How about we skip the dragon and just push mid? Let's put on a show first, clear the vision in the top half of the map, then camp at the raptors. Gnar can push the minion wave to the mid lane's second turret. If they dare to go for the dragon, we'll push straight in."
No one on EDG objected, so after Meiko and Clearlove cleared the vision in the top half of the map, Syndra and Ashe quietly disappeared into the top half of the river.
When RNG saw that there was only one Gnar pushing the mid lane, they immediately assumed that EDG had started to take Baron.
"They should be going to fight the dragon. Let's fight it too. We can trade the giant dragon for a bigger one," Xiaoming said.
"Then let's switch. What about the mid lane minions?" Spicy Hot Pot pointed to the mid lane minions.
"Never mind that for now. Gnar is slow at pushing towers; at most, he can only take down the crystal. Let's hurry up and take down the dragon."
"Then let's fight, and speed things up quickly."
RNG's players were already positioned close to the bottom half of the map, and they quickly moved to the vicinity of the Dragon Pit to begin their attack.
EDG saw this through their vision and immediately took action: "Hurry, hurry, push the tower!"
Li Chen thought for a moment, then pressed the teleport button, landing right at the Dragon Pit: "I'll hold them off to prevent them from escaping, you guys push quickly."
As the teleportation light illuminated, RNG also saw a group of people suddenly appear in the mid lane.
"Holy crap, they didn't fight the dragon, they're trying to steal our base."
"Stop! Stop! This is Gnar's teleport. I'm going back to town first."
"Use teleportation directly, it's too late, they're about to push the high ground crystal."
RNG was immediately thrown into chaos. Some players recalled to base, while others teleported, leaving only Braum to hold off Gnar in place.
Braum tried to force Gnar to land, but a single ultimate was far from enough to control him. Li Chen had Mercury's Treads and quickly regained his mobility. He then ignored Braum completely, flashed and used E to escape the dragon pit, and used his ultimate to interrupt the teleportation and recall of all three RNG members.
Since the clockwork station was too far away, he was teleported back, but this did not affect the overall situation.
Facing Li Chen's Gnar, the RNG players had no desire to fight and just wanted to return to base as soon as possible, but how could Li Chen let them go back?
At this moment, the big screen split into two images. In RNG's home, a lone Orianna stood facing four menacing men, unable to put up a fight.
EDG didn't even bother with Orianna; Gragas used his ultimate to blast everyone away, and everyone was pushing the tower.
"Push the tower, push the tower, and you win."
"Hurry, hurry, Kennen has run away and is heading back to town."
Li Chen was also shouting, chasing after four RNG players by himself, but Kennen's E skill made him run too fast, and he couldn't stop him.
"Everyone on EDG is pushing the tower. The turret has already fallen, but Kennen is back. Can he catch up? Syndra pushed Kennen away with her E, and her ultimate didn't hit anyone. Everyone is attacking the base. RNG can't hold on. Let's congratulate EDG for defeating RNG, the first team in Group A, 2-0."
The viewers of this match all thought that the two sides would have to fight a team fight to decide the outcome, but no one expected that the game would end in such a dramatic way.
[As expected, the end of the alliance is split-pushing; C is really trying hard to keep the enemy in place.]
"Of course! If we can win outright, why bother with team fights?"
[Two to zero, not a single game went past thirty minutes, are the Royalists coming out to complain?]
You looked down on C-side back then, today C-side will give you a 2-0 victory!
What kind of "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" scenario is this?
As the game ended, the EDG team came to shake hands with RNG. Li Chen, as the leader, didn't say anything when shaking hands with Letme, and just briefly mentioned it.
Next up was Mala Xiangguo. Although the two weren't close, they had known each other before. Li Chen maintained his polite, faint smile and said, "RNG is a good team. You're probably going to play there until you retire, right?"
Mala Xiangguo's expression darkened; he knew what Li Chen meant, but he couldn't show it now.
"You played well, Tiger. We might have a chance to face off in the future," Li Chen said jokingly.
Xiao Hu opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He had a very frustrating time playing these two games today, and there was nothing to say.
Uzi's face was still flushed. He had lost two consecutive games with advantages in the bottom lane, all because of this substitute top laner who had been kicked out of RNG. He felt that he was really unlucky.
Uzi even wondered, if RNG hadn't kicked Li Chen out and had let him play top lane, how could RNG possibly have any rivals in the league?
Li Chen didn't say anything to Uzi, he just shook hands and moved on.
After the handshake ceremony, everyone came to the front of the stage to bow and say goodbye to the audience. The shouts from the audience were loud and varied, but Li Chen could still hear many people saying that they would come to the live stream that night to send him gifts.
This is the kind of professionalism a money-grubbing livestreamer should have.
Back in the lounge, Abu draped a coat over Li Chen and said with a smile, "Well done, Chen. If RNG gets past this, we'll be on track for a winning streak in the regular season. The boss has already said that everyone will get a bonus if we win all our regular season games."
Upon hearing about the bonus, Li Chen immediately woke up and patted his chest, declaring, "Tell the boss we have to win every game! I've seen the other LPL teams, they're nothing but chickens and dogs!"
"Ahem, there are cameras, be careful. But don't worry, EDG won't forget your contribution." Abu coughed twice, but the smile on his face didn't fade.
Then Abu turned to the others and said, "Scout and Factory Manager went for an interview today, and after the interview, we're going to have hot pot."
When Li Chen heard that he wasn't mentioned in the interview, he was immediately confused: "Wait, am I not included? We played against RNG today!"
If it were any other match, it wouldn't matter, but today's match is against RNG. His conflict with RNG has been going on for a long time. Is Tencent Esports going to throw away such a huge amount of traffic?
Others were also somewhat puzzled, because everyone knew about the feud between Li Chen and RNG, so it wouldn't make sense not to let Li Chen go on stage.
Abu shook his head: "Don't go on today. There's a lot of discussion online, and the authorities won't let you go. Maybe next time!"
Li Chen pursed his lips, knowing that Tencent was trying to protect RNG. After all, the all-Chinese roster was still very useful, and promoting him and promoting RNG were two options that did not conflict.
Soon, Scout and the factory manager went up for interviews, and Abu immediately called Li Chen out alone: "Chen, come with me for a moment, there's something I need to talk to you about!"
