Both sides begin picking champions.

The coaches leave the player benches and go to the center of the stage to shake hands.

While waiting for the countdown to end, everyone suddenly hears Liang Yan say in the headset:

"Brothers, just play casually in this lane; I'll handle the rest."

"That means you guys take care of getting kills, and I'll take care of wiping them out."

"Oh ho ho! Good!"

Zven was overjoyed and didn't know what to do; he was worried that if he didn't do well in lane he'd get scolded by Ka Lao Si when he went back, but hearing Liang Yan's words, he immediately felt at ease.

The others also burst out laughing.

Only AP was not too happy, muttering:

"Hey, don't take all the kills, leave a few for me!"

"Okay, I'll leave them for you."

"Can I have the second blue buff?"

"Sure, here you go."

Liang Yan said with a smile. Anyway, I'll agree first; whether I actually give it depends on the situation. However, the excavator has no blue bar, so it really doesn't need blue; I'll probably still give it.

AP relaxed, directly swapping his second summoner spell to Ignite. After entering Summoner's Rift, he obediently took his position and defended according to the signals Liang Yan marked.

At the start, both sides were peaceful.

When the jungle monsters respawned, this game had a normal start. Liang Yan's Rek'Sai and Lao Zhang's Weapon Master began together from the blue side's Magic Swamp Frog, then Lao Zhang went to lane, Liang Yan alone ate the two small blue buff monsters, left the big one untouched, then proceeded down from the three wolves, after clearing F4 he went straight into the river and ate the river crab.

When the river crab had only 200 health left, the marksman emerged from the riverbank bushes, saw Liang Yan attacking the river crab, threw a 【Smoke Bomb】, then followed with a 【Quickdraw】 slide forward, clearly intending to steal the low‑health river crab.

Liang Yan walked out of the Smoke Bomb's range, in the heat of the moment pressed Tab to glance at the marksman's last hit, instantly calculated that the marksman had no Smite, so he deliberately pressed S in place, waited for the marksman's basic attack to land, then slipped between the marksman's basic attack and Q ability to bite the river crab, then twitched on the spot and ducked his head into the ground, fleeing directly.

With a boom, the audience burst into loud laughter.

Liang Yan's twitching motion after stealing the river crab was hilarious, obviously meant to taunt the opponent.

In the FNC players' bench, Spirit's face, which had just returned to normal color, turned saucy‑purple again due to congestion.

Humiliation!

This is naked humiliation!

How can this be tolerated!!!

In anger, Spirit, who had already walked a few steps away, suddenly turned back and made a strange motion toward the direction Rek'Sai had left.

Flailing his arms and legs, he looked like a clown.

The audience burst into laughter again.

The director was also at fault, actually giving a split‑screen replay close‑up—unbelievable.

On the analyst desk, Sjokz covered her mouth and laughed till she shook.

The marksman's early‑game combat strength was still strong, and the enemy had red buff, whereas Liang Yan had cleared F4 but not taken red, so he chose to temporarily avoid the front line.

After returning to his own jungle and eating the remaining two monster groups, he went back to base; Liang Yan had just arrived home when the four icons on the bottom lane suddenly clustered together on the minimap.

Liang Yan switched the camera down to watch the fight while heading out.

Both duos had already clashed once; this was the second wave, with both sides' health around two‑thirds. This time Zven took the initiative, seizing the moment when Yuumi's E was used to block Mithy's Q, and lunged in for a fierce clash.

When Liang Yan switched the camera over, both ADs had about one‑third health left; Zven's health actually seemed slightly higher. Yuumi, playing for OG, was weaving left and right to dodge Ezreal's next Q, while Yellowstar's Bard, still at half health, was desperately moving toward OG to try to block the skill.

Rekkles saw that the support couldn't catch up, and after being knocked low by two Ezreal auto‑attacks, he actually flashed forward to get closer to the support.

However, no one expected that the carefree Zven would play so creatively; after his Q cooldown, he flashed to adjust his angle and unleashed a Q.

With a swoosh.

The 【Arcane Shot】 just grazed Bard's model edge and narrowly hit Yuumi's side.

【First Blood!】

A solemn female voice announced that Zven had drawn first blood.

The venue erupted in a gasp.

YellOwStaR saw the AD was dead, hurriedly turned toward the river, but as soon as he turned he was hit by Mithy's Q, his movement speed sharply reduced, and Ezreal quickly stuck to him.

At the moment the male gunner arrived, YellOwStaR also gave up his life, but the kill was accidentally snatched by Mithy with a basic attack.

Spirit flashed with Q, followed by 【Quick Draw】 and shot him in the face, also taking Zven's kill; Mithy turned and fled, eventually making it back safely under the tower.

The final result was a one-for-two trade; the side that got first blood, G2, earned several hundred more, the bottom lane matchup directly opened a several-hundred gold gap, and in the early game, a gap of several hundred gold has a huge impact.

However, the male gunner also took a kill, which is not a good thing for the jungle matchup.

After the male gunner showed up in the bottom lane, Liang Yan canceled his plan to farm the Magic Swamp Frog, went straight across the river into the red side's Shang Ban Qu, first ate the Stone Armor Beetle, turned around and placed a ward at F4, then pulled the freshly respawned F4 out and, with a few swipes, ate the whole nest of birds cleanly.

On the mid lane side, AP saw that even the disadvantaged bottom lane had achieved a splendid result, and he could no longer sit still; besides, he had brought Ignite, so if he didn't go out and make a play on the lane, how could he act as the team leader? He therefore started frequently trading blows with the enemy Febiven's vampire, trying to land a kill to regain his authority as the team leader.

As a result, just as he once again rushed forward to actively trade with the vampire, the male gunner slipped out from a side path behind him.

AP saw that he couldn't survive, and actually flashed straight onto the vampire's face, hoping to trade with the enemy mid laner.

However, the vampire had the divine skill Blood Pool, so in such a sure-win situation how could he possibly be traded away? In the end, AP lost his wife and his troops, flashed and used his summoner spell, but failed to kill him and even lost his own life.
