LPL didn't want me? I joined SKT instead!

"Both players are in position, the draft phase begins!"

As the commentator, Wa Wa, spoke with great enthusiasm, the screen instantly switched to the BP interface.

The noise at the scene subsided slightly at this moment, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen.

The first game of this quarterfinals was crucial for both EDG, playing on home soil, and SKT, who wanted to defend their dynasty's glory.

EDG is on the blue side and has the right to ban and pick first.

"EDG's first ban... without any hesitation, directly banned Jayce!" Miller said quickly, looking at the screen. "This is absolute respect for Huni. EDG obviously doesn't want Mouse in the top lane to be under too much pressure in the first game."

SKT, on the red side, decisively banned Kalista in their first ban.

Immediately afterwards, EDG revealed their second ban.

Niyu, Xia.

"Oh? EDG banned Xayah!" Wawa raised an eyebrow. "They're targeting Xiao Yan! We all know that Xiao Yan played Xayah in the group stage, and his backhook was incredibly precise, like he was using a cheat code."

SKT's second ban was for Sejuani.

EDG's third ban was for Twitch.

"They banned Rat too!" Miller's voice rose several octaves. "EDG's first three bans, besides Jayce, were both for the AD carry position! It seems that although iBoy made some bold statements before the match, EDG's coaching staff, Nofe, is still extremely wary of Xiao Yan!"

SKT's third ban was for Kha'Zix.

EDG locked down Kog'Maw on the first three floors, and paired him with Janna.

Meanwhile, SKT secured Jarvan IV and Lulu on the first and second floors.

Entering the second round of draft picks, EDG's targeted intentions became obvious.

EDG's fourth and fifth bans were mercilessly given to Varus, the Arrow of Smite, and Ashe, the Frost Archer!

SKT's last two bans were still firmly aimed at Clearlove, banning Gragas and Excavator.

Finally, it was SKT's last turn, and their fifth pick in the entire game.

KkOma stood behind Xiao Yan, holding a tactics notebook, and asked something in a low voice in Korean.

Xiao Yan remained calm, barely even moving the mouse, and directly typed a hero's name into the search box before clicking lock.

"I really want to shoot something!"

Tristana, the Magnum Gunner!

"Tristana! SKT locked in Tristana as their last pick!" Wawa shouted. "Tristana paired with Wolf's Lulu makes for a bot lane duo with extremely high burst damage and perfect tower-pushing rhythm!"

Ultimately, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

Blue side EDG: Top lane Maokai, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Syndra, Bot lane Kog'Maw + Janna.

Red side SKT: Top lane Cho'Gath, Jungle Jarvan IV, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane Tristana + Lulu.

"Alright, the team compositions are finalized. Let's enter Summoner's Rift!"

As the commentator's voice faded, a loading screen appeared on the large screen. Inside the Guangzhou Gymnasium, tens of thousands of LPL fans erupted in a deafening roar.

"EDG! Go for it!"

"EDG! Go for it!"

The sound waves came one after another, as if they were going to lift the dome of the entire venue off the ground.

"Ding!"

A crisp system notification sound rang out, and ten heroes were born in Summoner's Rift.

Xiao Yan bought a Doran's Blade and a health potion, and, controlling the little cannon, walked briskly towards the bottom lane.

At 1 minute and 30 seconds into the game, all troops are mobilized.

Both bottom laners returned to their lanes simultaneously after helping their junglers clear the jungle camps.

iBoy, controlling Kog'Maw, appeared extremely confident. Protected by Janna's shield, he wasn't afraid of Tristana at level one. He even deliberately pushed forward, attempting to use Kog'Maw's W skill to whittle down Xiao Yan's health.

However, Xiao Yan did not rush to last-hit the first melee minion. Instead, the moment Kog'Maw activated his W skill, he skillfully maneuvered Tristana to take a half-step back.

This mere half-step caused Kog'Maw's first basic attack to miss, getting stuck just outside the attack range limit.

"Huh?" iBoy was slightly taken aback, then pressed forward again, wanting to strike a second time.

Just then, Xiao Yan's cannon moved.

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward into Kog'Maw's attack range, raised his cannon, fired a basic attack at Kog'Maw, and at the same time pressed his E skill, a bomb was hung above Kog'Maw's head!

"Bang!"

Another basic attack! Combined with Wolf Lulu's E skill, Tristana's basic attack deals additional magic damage.

iBoy reacted extremely quickly, immediately retaliating with a basic attack, while Meiko's Janna swiftly shielded Kog'Maw.

But Xiao Yan didn't greedily deal any damage. The moment he landed his second attack, he used the aftercast delay of the small cannon's basic attack to smoothly pull himself back and escape from Da Zui's attack range.

In this brief exchange at level one, although Big Mouth had a shield and didn't lose any health, Xiao Yan's Little Cannon successfully applied the Explosive Spark and used the Spark's passive splash damage to lower the health of the three melee minions.

"Such a delicate maneuver." Miller's eyes lit up in the commentary booth. "Xiao Yan handled this level 1 trade very cleverly. He knew that Kog'Maw had a range advantage when he activated W, so he used E to engage and leave without being greedy, while also pushing the lane at the same time."

Wawa nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. With Tristana and Lulu working together, getting to level two first is crucial. Right now, it seems SKT's wave clear speed is faster than EDG's."

The minion wave in the bottom lane began to push towards EDG.

The first wave of minions was quickly cleared, and the second wave slowly appeared.

"Wolf, get ready," Xiao Yan said calmly over the phone.

"Understood." Wolf replied in a deep voice. His Lulu had already quietly pushed forward, blocking the position where Janna wanted to move forward to deal damage.

The key to securing level two lies in the three melee minions in the second wave of minions.

While controlling the rhythm of his basic attacks, Xiao Yan kept a close eye on the experience bar.

The health of the three melee soldiers is steadily decreasing.

iBoy clearly realized that SKT wanted to secure level 2 first, but relying on his Heal and Janna's Exhaust buff, he didn't retreat too much and remained near the minion wave, trying to forcefully gain experience from those minions.

"That's too arrogant," Xiao Yan sneered.

Just as the last melee minion's health was about to drop to zero, Xiao Yan didn't use a basic attack to finish it off, but instead moved forward.

"Whoosh!"

A beam of light shone on both Little Cannon and Lulu at the same time!

Level 2!

Almost at the moment the upgrade light appeared, Xiao Yan tapped the keyboard twice with his fingers.

Instantly upgrade W skill!

W skill: Rocket Jump!

"boom!"

Xiao Pao's petite body suddenly leaped up, drawing an arc in mid-air. It wasn't to escape, but rather to smash directly into iBoy, who was standing at the front, with a ferocious force like Mount Tai crashing down!

That jump was so decisive! So resolute! So unreasonable!

"My God! Xiao Yan jumped right in front of everyone! Level 2 jumped right in front of everyone!" Wawa suddenly stood up in the commentary booth, her voice cracking with excitement.
