Both teams' lineups are as follows: our side has Riven top, Lux mid, Amumu jungle, ADC VN, and Thresh support. The lineup is fairly standard—point control, team control, AOE, poke—you name it, we've got it. But to be honest, there's nothing particularly outstanding about it.

The opposing team: Gangplank top, Twisted Fate mid, Lee Sin jungle, ADC Ezreal, and Malphite support. This lineup has a lot of global skills, clearly determined to play high mobility and fast support. EZ and Gangplank are also not weak at all in the late game.

At the start, Ethan Carter goes out with a Doran's Blade, brimming with confidence. If you play Riven, you need the determination to dominate your lane. Otherwise, are you going to compete with others in teamfights later? If you can't find the right timing to engage, one CC and you're dead in the middle of the fight.

Ethan Carter didn't choose to fight at level one. With both sides having such good vision, neither top laner showing themselves, how could a fight even break out? Huh? Spotted a wild Gangplank!

"Hehe, didn't expect the kids playing LOL in this world to be so smart. I, the godly monk, just gave a hint, and they immediately figured out how to sneak into the top lane to steal jungle camps." The enemy Gangplank sneaks over to the blue buff. Other than wanting to steal the two small monsters at blue, Ethan Carter can't think of any other reason.

That's right, this is one of the little details that the top high school in Shanghai painstakingly calculated could be exploited in the jungle. This way, when the top laner gets to lane, their HP is fine, no need to recall and teleport back, and they get almost half a level more experience!

The two meet in the river. Ethan Carter smiles and pretends to be losing, turning to run. Gangplank is bold—seeing even a top player running away, how could he not give chase? Not chasing would be embarrassing!

Watching Riven walk into the bush, Gangplank is confident that at level one, he absolutely isn't afraid of this pitifully low-damage Riven. Yes, low-damage Riven!

Hehe, that's because you haven't seen mine yet!

Once in the bush, Riven counterattacks as expected, but it's no use. Gangplank's level one Q plus passive and base stats make his damage nearly unmatched. After a round of trading and kiting, Riven is left with only a third of her HP, while Gangplank still has almost half.

Only now does Riven start to shyly run back. Too late now, isn't it? Your Q is on cooldown! I have a movement speed buff! The Shanghai team members can't help but roar with excitement—after all, the flood of posts these past few days has nearly turned Ethan Carter into a legend.

First blood!

"Did you guys get that?"

"Looks like the pro's Riven suddenly turned godlike and used three Qs to instantly kill Gangplank..."

"You're kidding. I've played Riven, her damage isn't that high!"

"Replay the first-person slow motion! Quick, quick, quick!"

"Did the pro... just invent a new technique?"

"No way... hahaha, you're overthinking it! Uh... but now that you mention it!!"

Chapter 13: Rhythm Demon King Brutally Crushes Little Cousin

In the training room of Shanghai No.1 High School, the coach's face was so dark it could drip water, but he steadied his emotions: "Giving up first blood for a new technique isn't a waste. Keep going. Gangplank, hold your rhythm. Lee Sin, if Riven is snowballing top, don't go there. Stick to the strategy: help the strong, not the weak."

"Okay." Henry Thompson sat calmly in front of the computer and nodded. The team hadn't chosen a captain yet, so he had to perform better than everyone else.

Suddenly, he saw Alice Green type to everyone on screen: "Pro, I gave you 5 crowns before... can you not kill me..."

"Okay."

Damn, is there no principle, no law here! Hello, 911? Someone's cheating here!

"Alice Green, you..." The coach was stunned.

"This is my strategy!" Alice Green replied cutely.

"That... actually makes sense..."

Viewers on the streaming platform were also shocked by the conversation. The life of the rich really does start at the finish line!

At this moment, Ethan Carter sent another message: "Last year, I lost my sight in a fire, but I remain strong-willed and keep playing League of Legends, vowing to be useful to my country. I have an 80-year-old mother at home and a beautiful wife to support. Here are three hero techniques, and there will be more in the future. If you have money, please support with money; if not, support with your presence. Please tip generously. Anyone who tips a million League coins will be noted in my book and spared three deaths, as long as you don't throw yourself into danger. Thank you all."

"What is he talking about?" Cousin Henry Thompson was puzzled...
