Chapter 402 The game is over.

With the two heroes locked in for the top lane, the atmosphere at the scene and in the live stream reached a climax.

The two top laners in this World Championship, officially and widely recognized as the best, will have a showdown in this game, a spectacle that is absolutely not to be missed.

However, in front of a certain TV screen, Koma shook his head in disappointment: "Hirai didn't listen to my advice and still chose to fight against god_C. It's probably going to be difficult for Dragon Ball to advance to the next round."

That's right, Koma gave Hirai some advice yesterday because he preferred to face Longzhu rather than EDG and Li Chen.

However, Hirai did not adopt this approach because, in his mind, EDG was far more credible or, in other words, more friendly than SKT.

EDG is too far away, SKT is too close. Hirai clearly understands who the real enemy of Dragon Ball is.

Compared to the solemn expressions of the others, Huni's eyes were rather intriguing. If there was anyone who most wanted Li Chen to beat up Khan and crush his way into the finals, Huni would definitely be one of the most devout among them.

The second round of bans for both sides was soon over. Longzhu banned Sejuani and Galio, while EDG banned Taliyah and Azir.

Dragonballs then picked first, not wanting to give EDG their double-circle lineup, so they ultimately chose Jarvan IV, giving up Gragas.

EDG didn't hold back either, using Gragas and Syndra as a combo that they often employ, making them quite familiar with it.

Dragon Ball adds a plane at the end to supplement the early-game mobility of the top, mid, and jungle.

Neither side had many flexible picks in this game, and after quickly exchanging heroes, they entered the loading screen:

EDG (Blue Team):

Top Lane - Camille

Jungler - Gragas

Mid Lane - Syndra

ad——Velus

Support - Karma

Dragon Ball Red Team:

Top Lane - Fiora

Jungler - Prince

Mid-lane - Airplane

ad——Little Cannon

Support - Troll

Upon entering the game, neither side had any control in the early stages, so they didn't have any intention of invading. Instead, they went to the river to find their positions.

Khan waited in the triangular bush for a while, hoping to catch Li Chen coming up from the river and take out the first opening. However, Li Chen did not give him the chance and obediently retreated and came up from the lane with the minions.

After the two players met in the top lane, the first opening appeared in the bottom left corner. Fiora couldn't exploit the opening and was at a disadvantage in the fight, so she wanted to retreat and create space to start over.

However, Li Chen knew what Khan was thinking, so instead of taking the opportunity to steal the lane, he directly controlled Camille to follow up.

The two maintained their distance. As Li Chen followed the Khan to the vicinity of the Red team's ranged troops, a glint of shrewdness flashed in the Khan's eyes: "Did you think I would use such a conventional strategy?"

The next second, Fiora, who had been retreating, suddenly turned around and used her Q skill on Camille.

This is within the attack range of the red side's minions. If Li Chen dares to counterattack, even with the passive Khan buff, he won't be afraid. With a little maneuvering, he will definitely not lose in a fight.

However, this was just Khan's wishful thinking. Just as Fiora turned around to use her Q, Camille also turned around and retreated at almost the same time.

Just as the camera focused on the top lane, Miller exclaimed upon seeing this scene, "What? Fiora missed her Q! C-God predicted Khan's turn to attack and created distance. Now he's using a tactical sweep, but Khan, trying to dodge, couldn't manage it."

Fiora was slowed down by the tactical sweep on the outer edge, but Li Chen calmly followed up and used the interval between the red team's ranged minion's attack to land a basic attack that triggered the shield.

"How could this be?" Khan frowned slightly, feeling that the situation on the road seemed to be getting out of control.

Knowing that Fiora has a longer attack range, Khan originally planned to auto-attack before Camille's passive was triggered. However, when he dealt damage, he found that his attack hit the shield completely.

If he took a moment to look at Camille's stats, he would find that Li Chen's attack speed was slightly higher than that of a typical level 1 Camille.

It was precisely this difference in attack speed that allowed Camille to land a basic attack and trigger her passive more quickly.

Li Chen gained an advantage with a basic attack and a W skill, but instead of retreating, he continued to fight Khan, avoiding his openings.

With his health advantage and Fiora's Q skill interrupted, even if he fights to the bitter end while tanking minions, he can't possibly lose.

However, the Khan could not retreat, because both sides' melee troops were already low on health, and if he retreated at this time, he would miss the experience of three melee troops.

If he loses both health and experience at level 1, then he can declare that his lane has collapsed.

Soon, the cooldowns of their basic attacks refreshed. Camille raised her foot again, and seeing the shield still remaining, Khan's lips twitched slightly. He could only grit his teeth, take the damage, and circle around, looking for an opening behind Camille.

But this is exactly the result Li Chen wanted.

"Khan, you've lost!"

Li Chen's lips curled slightly. Instead of retreating, he stood still and began to fight fiercely, while drinking the blood vial on his body.

At this moment, Khan broke the first opening, but Li Chen remained unmoved, enduring the damage from the red team's ranged troops and fighting the Khan to the death, without even glancing at the low-health minions.

Khan initially thought that with the help of his soldiers, he could still put up a fight, so he accelerated and tried to exploit any openings.

However, a new opening appeared in the upper right corner. Li Chen fought his way back towards the red team's defensive tower, giving Khan no chance to create an opening.

If the Khan uses a basic attack, he uses a basic attack too; if the Khan takes a detour, he takes a detour too.

After a few exchanges, Khan realized something was wrong as his health dwindled.

"No, he wants to fight to the bitter end!"

The Khan shuddered, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and suddenly realized the key to it all.

But by then it was too late.

Because Li Chen retreated and blocked the road in advance, the Khan has no way to create distance.

At this point, the Khan knew he couldn't fight anymore, or he would surely die, so he decisively turned around and ran down to the river.

Actually, if he had run straight down the tower at that moment, Li Chen would have only needed to auto-attack twice more, and he definitely wouldn't have died. Most people would have made the same choice.

But Khan, being a top-tier top laner, knew that if he did that, his health would drop to around 100, and he wouldn't be able to continue laning; he would have to teleport back to base.

This is enough time for Li Chen to level up to level two. At that point, relying on a large number of minions and level advantage, he won't be able to beat Camille even if she's low on health.

The next scene shows Camille pushing a large wave of minions into the tower, then recalling and walking out, just in time to finish pushing the wave again and saving a teleport.

This means his laning phase is completely ruined, beyond saving.

Running towards the river would be different. Not only would he take fewer basic attacks, but Li Chen could also chase him a few steps towards the river and take some minion damage, allowing him to continue laning later.

The only thing to be careful of is Camille's W skill, which will soon be off cooldown. At that time, he might be able to use Flash to predict a perfect spot and even turn the tide of battle.

"The game's over, Khan!"

Watching the Khan's escape route, Li Chen felt as if he were watching prey struggling in a spider's web.
