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

"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, her hands pressing hard on the commentary table in front of her.

The hearts of tens of thousands of LPL viewers at the scene also clenched at that moment.

No one expected that in the crucial quarterfinals of the World Championship, when both sides were only two levels apart, Xiao Yan's Tristana dared to charge forward against a huge wave of minions, using her only mobility and survival skill in an almost insane manner!

iBoy's pupils dilated instantly, showcasing the remarkable reaction speed of a seventeen-year-old.

The moment Xiaopao jumped, he realized the danger and frantically clicked the mouse behind him, trying to create distance.

However, it was too late.

Xiao Yan's control over distance and timing was as precise as that of a top-of-the-line Swiss watch.

The small cannon jumped at a point that was precisely where the big mouth's retreat route would inevitably pass.

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed through Summoner's Rift as Tristana's chubby body slammed heavily into Kog'Maw, dealing magic damage and inflicting a slow effect of up to 60%!

"Pixar, go!"

Meanwhile, Wolf's Lulu wasn't idle either.

The moment Xiao Yan jumped, Lulu's E skill "Help, Pix!" was cast directly on Tristana, enveloping her in a thick shield, while Pix was attached to Tristana's cannon.

Immediately afterwards, Lulu's Q skill "Shining Spear" pierced through the minions and accurately hit the slowed Kog'Maw, adding another layer of slow!

With the double deceleration, iBoy's big mouth seemed to be stuck in the mud, making it difficult to move.

"Hit!" Xiao Yan's eyes were as cold as knives as his fingers flew across the keyboard.

The cannon in the little gun's hand was spitting out flames wildly.

One, two!

The basic attack, imbued with Pix's extra magic damage, slammed into Kog'Maw.

The Kog'Maw, which had already been weakened by the Explosive Spark at level 1, saw its health plummet like a burst dam, instantly dropping below half health!

"Help me!" iBoy shouted into the voice chat, a layer of cold sweat beading on his forehead.

His prized reaction speed seemed utterly powerless in the face of Xiao Yan's sudden, violent attack.

Meiko, as a top-tier support player, also has extremely fast reaction times.

The moment Tristana landed, his Janna immediately shielded Kog'Maw with her E skill "Eye of the Storm". Since they were still level 1, after Janna applied the shield, she could only use basic attacks to cause Tristana a negligible amount of interference.

The third basic attack is launched!

The explosive sparks above Big Mouth's head had reached their maximum intensity, emitting a dangerous red light.

"No, I can't take it anymore!" iBoy looked at his health, which was less than a third of what it used to be, and the cannon that was still firing. Finally, fear overcame pride in his heart.

"Golden light shimmering!"

Just before his fourth basic attack was about to land, iBoy decisively used Flash to escape back to the edge of his own turret's attack range, while simultaneously pressing Heal to forcibly raise his health bar.

Meiko's Janna quickly followed up, casting Weakness on Tristana, fearing that Xiao Yan might recklessly use Flash and damage to kill her.

However, Xiao Yan did not continue the pursuit.

After seeing Kog'Maw use both summoner spells, he didn't even glance at them. Controlling the weakened and slowed Tristana, he swaggered back to his own minion wave, enduring Janna's auto-attacks, and continued to farm safely.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, without the slightest hesitation or delay.

Quiet.

The vast Guangzhou Gymnasium fell into a brief, deathly silence at that moment.

All LPL fans stared wide-eyed at the Tristana on the big screen, who, despite being only level two, had made Kog'Maw run away in terror and use up both of his summoner spells. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

"What... what kind of monster is this?"

A few seconds later, the commentator, Wawa, finally recovered from his shock. He swallowed hard and said in a dry voice, "This wave... Xiao Yan's suppression was terrifying. He jumped in directly at level two, forcing Kog'Maw to use Flash and Heal. If Meiko's Janna hadn't provided a shield and Exhaust in time, iBoy would probably be dead here!"

"Yes, and most importantly, Xiao Yan's attention to detail was perfect," Miller followed up with his analysis. "His jump was timed perfectly, just as his own melee unit was killed and leveled up to level two. iBoy had no time to react. And he even timed it perfectly while Da Zui and the others were still at level one. Just how much confidence and how terrifyingly precise his micro-management must have been to do that?"

On the field.

iBoy, still shaken, was panting heavily as he fled back to the tower. His hands trembled slightly on the keyboard as he stared at his empty summoner spell bar and nearly half his health remaining, his face ashen.

"Damn it, I was careless this time," iBoy said through gritted teeth in the voice chat.

"It's okay, stay calm, take your medicine and get your health back up. Tristana and Lulu's burst damage is indeed high in the early game, and our Kog'Maw is too weak in the early game, it's normal that we can't win." Meiko comforted him softly, but his eyes were full of seriousness. As a support, he knew better than iBoy how terrifying the pressure Xiao Yan had shown in that wave was.

"Yeah, I know." iBoy drank the health potion, his eyes fixed on the little cannon that was leisurely finishing off enemies not far away, his heart filled with resentment.

In his view, the reason he suffered a loss in this round was not because his skills were inferior to Xiao Yan's, but because of the counter effect of the hero's attributes.

Kog'Maw is weak in the early game, while Tristana and Lulu are a dominant lane duo.

"What kind of skill is it to rely on hero advantages and good support coordination? Wait until I get to the late game, wait until I get Ardent Censer and Guinsoo's Rageblade, and see how I kill you!" iBoy secretly vowed in his heart, attributing his previous defeat entirely to the hero disadvantage and Wolf's perfect coordination, still unwilling to admit that he was completely suppressed by Xiao Yan in the laning phase.

……

After unleashing both of Kog'Maw's summoner spells, Xiao Yan didn't blindly push lanes and pressure towers like many casual players do when they gain an advantage.

in contrast.

"Wolf, don't push the lane, keep the minion wave in the middle of the river," Xiao Yan calmly commanded in the voice chat.

"Understood." Wolf understood immediately and stopped using skills to whittle down the minions, only using basic attacks to finish them off.

Under Xiao Yan's exquisite micro-management, the bottom lane minions seemed to be magically suspended in the middle area, with Tristana and Lulu standing between EDG's turret and the minion wave.

For a Kog'Maw who has no Flash, no Heal, and is extremely weak in the early game, this is simply an insurmountable death chasm.
