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

The little cannon swelled up, standing still amidst a flurry of skill effects. His health had only dropped slightly.

The cannons were turned around, and the counterattack began.

Q skill activated!

The first shot took down Janna to half health.

The second shot left the heroine with low health.

With the third shot, the tree instantly evaporated as the "explosive sparks" detonated.

The fourth shot, the fifth shot...

This was a one-sided massacre. EDG's prized protective system proved as fragile as paper in the face of Xiao Yan's damage output, which surpassed the current meta. Xiao Yan maximized the advantages of the Ardent Censer meta, with Lulu providing shields, speed boosts, and size increases, while Tristana was responsible for destroying everything in her path.

"Run! Run!" the factory manager shouted desperately.

But where can they escape to?

Xiao Hua's prince descended from the sky, unleashing his ultimate move, "Heaven and Earth Collapse," which trapped the remaining three. Xiao Yan's cannonball, like a reaping machine, rampaged through the area, dealing massive damage.

【Triple Kill!】

【Quadra Kill!】

[Penta Kill!]

The sound effects of the pentakill were breathtaking, and the Guangzhou Gymnasium finally erupted in thunderous cheers.

But for EDG fans, this cheer was like a death knell.

"ACE!" (Total wipeout)

SKT's five players turned around and headed straight for the Baron pit.

At 22 minutes, the Baron buff was secured.

With the Baron buff, SKT advanced from all three lanes simultaneously like an impregnable steel torrent.

Xiao Yan's little cannon walked in the very center, with a vast and mighty sea of ​​soldiers behind him.

EDG's high ground tower, under the combined attack of super minions and sniper rifles, collapsed in less than ten seconds.

"I can't hold on..." iBoy looked at the two pieces of equipment he had just completed, and then at the stats of the enemy Tristana with her god-tier gear. His last glimmer of hope was shattered.

Even if Big Mouth becomes incredibly powerful in the later stages, he still needs time. But Xiao Yan simply won't give him that time.

If anyone dares to show their face, Little Cannon's rockets will teach them a lesson.

If anyone dares to clear the enemy ranks, Lulu's Polymorph spell will turn them into lambs to the slaughter.

At 24 minutes, EDG's mid-lane inhibitor crystal was destroyed.

At 25 minutes, the top lane inhibitor crystal was destroyed.

At 26 minutes, the bottom lane inhibitor crystal was destroyed.

All three lanes were breached, and super minions kept pouring towards EDG's main base.

After EDG's five players respawned, they could only put up a last-ditch effort in front of the Nexus. The equipment gap between them had widened to an insurmountable level; Xiao Yan's Tristana could easily take away a quarter of a squishy hero's health with a single basic attack.

"How do I react to this? There's no way!" Mouse looked at his gray screen and shook his head helplessly.

iBoy didn't say anything. He just stared at the screen, at the little cannon that was running rampant in his own base. He remembered his bold words before the match, and the expectant eyes of his fans, and his heart was filled with bitterness.

He had to admit that in this game, it wasn't a tactical or operational failure, but a loss of manpower.

He got completely destroyed in the online matchup!

"Surrender," the factory manager finally said in a low voice after a long silence. "Don't waste any more time."

Silence fell over the voice channel. No one objected, because everyone knew that continuing would only bring more humiliation.

At 27 minutes, EDG typed "GG".

The game ended, and the screen froze on the screen.

On the data panel, Xiao Yan's score was clearly displayed: 12/0/8, 320 last hits, 65% damage share.

This is a breathtaking statistic.

In the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller remained silent for a long time. After a while, Wawa finally sighed, "This match might go down in history. It shows that in the Ardent Censer era, the gap between AD carries was large enough to ruin a game."

Miller nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "That's right! From the solo kill in the laning phase to the pentakill in the team fight, and finally pushing down the base, Xiao Yan gave EDG no chance. He was like a precise machine, every move was flawless, every decision hit the nail on the head. Especially that counter-kill where he dodged Clearlove's R-flash, it was simply a stroke of genius! Without that, perhaps EDG could have dragged it out a bit, but after that, the game was practically over."

The audience's enthusiasm reached its peak. They waved their glow sticks and shouted Xiao Yan's name.

"Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan!"

The sound waves came one after another, as if they were going to blow the roof off the stadium.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere on EDG's bench was extremely tense.

iBoy took off his headphones, covered his face with his hands, and his shoulders trembled slightly. For the first time, the seventeen-year-old prodigy experienced what "despair" truly meant. His prized talent seemed so immature in front of Xiao Yan.

The factory manager sat there quietly, his gaze complex as he looked at the young man opposite him who was celebrating with his teammates.

……

In the backstage corridor of the Guangzhou Gymnasium, the air seemed to solidify into lead, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

The cheers of "Xiao Yan" that had been booming in my ears just moments before now sounded like mockery from another world through the thick soundproof door.

The EDG players walked unsteadily toward the rest room with their heads down.

No one spoke; only the sound of the mouse pad rubbing against the desktop and heavy breathing echoed in the narrow corridor.

Pushing open the door to the lounge, a heavy, oppressive atmosphere hit me.

He silently walked to his seat, gripping the back of the chair tightly with both hands until his knuckles turned white from the force, looking like a fallen leaf shivering in the cold wind.

The once spirited and self-proclaimed "prodigy" Hu Xianzhao is gone. In his place is a young man whose pride has been brutally shattered by reality.

"sorry……"

After a long silence, a hoarse shout suddenly broke out in the dead-silent room.

iBoy suddenly turned around, his eyes red-rimmed, his voice broken and strained from extreme suppressed pain, "I lost this game! I'm so bad! I got completely destroyed in lane, I didn't do any damage in team fights, it's all my fault! If I hadn't collapsed in the early game... we could have won, I dragged everyone down!"

His voice grew louder and louder, until it almost turned into a hysterical roar, and tears finally streamed uncontrollably down his youthful face: "I'm not a genius at all, what kind of genius am I? In front of Xiao Yan, I'm like an idiot who can't even last-hit a minion!"

The room fell into an even deeper silence.

Scout lowered his eyes, Meiko bit her lip, and Mouse sighed helplessly, wanting to say something, but the bitterness in his throat choked him up.

Just then, a rough but warm hand gently landed on iBoy's trembling shoulder.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Your talent is obvious to all. You are a genius. The reason why you collapsed so quickly this time was due to tactical mistakes, not entirely your fault."
