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

Having a reading slump? Come and read more!

The force of the gunpowder propelled the Blind Monk's muscular body directly into the depths of the Dragon Pit.

Meanwhile, Peanut's Gragas had already calculated the health bar, and the Thunderstrike of Smite arrived as expected.

"SKT has taken down Baron! But the team fight has only just begun!" Miller's roar echoed throughout the arena.

Inside the Dragon Pit, the factory manager, who had been blasted in, was instantly trapped. But he was, after all, the factory manager, and in this desperate situation, he displayed astonishing resilience, unleashing a Heavenly Thunder Strike to try and slow down the barrels and clockwork pieces inside the Dragon Pit.

"Kill the small cannon first!" the factory manager shouted almost frantically into the microphone.

The entire EDG team suddenly realized what was happening.

Mouse's giant tree flashed over the wall, ready to bind Xiao Yan.

In this wave, EDG has gone all out. Even if they lose Baron, as long as they can kill this monster Tristana, they still have a chance.

However, Xiao Yan's skills have already entered the realm of gods.

The instant the tree flashed and landed, Xiao Yan's Tristana didn't use her W skill to escape. Instead, she positioned herself behind Braum, and the tree's binding landed on Braum.

The commentator, Wawa, could hardly believe his eyes. "What? Xiao Yan anticipated the tree's intention to teleport up and tie him up?"

Xiao Yan's face was cold as he frantically spat out fire from the cannon in his hand.

The chain lightning from the Statikk Shiv leaped above the Dragon Pit, each basic attack carrying the heavy critical strike of the Infinity Edge. When it hit the tree, its health bar evaporated at a visible speed.

"Scout! Push him!"

Scout's Syndra capitalized on Xiao Yan's momentary lapse in movement, unleashing the Weak Ones' Retreat (E) spell, which, along with three dark orbs, blocked all of Xiao Yan's escape routes in a fan shape.

This shot was unavoidable.

However, in Xiao Yan's view, the flight trajectories of the three magic orbs were marked as three red dotted lines.

He calmly pressed the Quicksilver Scimitar, instantly dispelling the stun within 0.01 seconds of the orb touching his body. Then, using the acceleration provided by the Quicksilver Scimitar, he sidestepped and repositioned himself to deal damage.

"kill!"

Xiao Yan shouted in a low voice. The little cannon accurately locked onto the nearly dead tree.

"Bang!"

With the final headshot, Mouse's tree crashed to the ground.

"Double Kill!"

Tristana's W skill "Rocket Jump" is refreshed instantly.

But at that moment, iBoy's Xayah finally found a good position to deal damage.

He knew this was his last chance, so he unleashed his ultimate move, "Storm Feather Blades," which flew everywhere. The purple feathers not only blocked Xiao Yan's landing point but also created a death zone on the ground.

"Die!" iBoy's eyes turned bloodshot, and he suddenly pulled back the barb (E).

At this critical moment, SKT's teammates demonstrated the indomitable will of the world's number one team.

"I'll take the hit!" Wolf's Braum roared, flashing to Xiao Yan's side and raising his massive shield to absorb all of Xayah's hook damage. Braum's health instantly plummeted, and he was finished off by iBoy's auto-attack.

"Wolf has fallen! But he bought Xiao Yan the final opportunity to unleash his attack!"

Immediately afterwards, Huni's Gnar grew larger inside the Baron pit, and with a powerful palm strike, slammed Clearlove and Meiko, who were trying to charge in, against the wall.

"Faker! Pull!"

Faker's Orianna's Orb landed precisely on Gnar, command: Shockwave (R)!

A terrifying gravitational vortex exploded at the edge of the Dragon Pit, forcibly pulling EDG's mid and support players together.

However, this counterattack came at a heavy price for SKT. Peanut's Gragas, in an attempt to save Xiao Yan, was instantly killed by Scout's Syndra's final ultimate. Huni's Gnar, after surviving the initial burst, was also reduced to pieces by iBoy's Xayah.

On the battlefield, only the lowly Faker and the fully-equipped Xiao Yan, draped in golden light, remained.

On the EDG side, Meiko's Janna was still protecting iBoy's side.

"Three against two! EDG still has a chance! As long as they kill Tristana!" Miller's voice was hoarse to the extreme.

Xiao Yan's eyes remained eerily calm.

The divine presence would last for another minute and a half, which he considered sufficient.

He maneuvered the small cannon and jumped!

This time, instead of running away, he jumped directly in front of Faker.

"Protect me," Xiao Yan said briefly.

Without hesitation, Faker cast his final shield on Xiao Yan, then used Orianna to block Janna's skill with his body.

"Faker has fallen! He sacrificed his life to preserve Xiao Yan's last chance to deal damage!"

Now, only Xiao Yan remains on the battlefield, facing EDG's last hope—iBoy and Meiko.

"One against two... Can EDG win?" The entire audience held their breath.

Xiao Yan calmly delivered his attack.

Janna's fragile body was like paper in front of Tristana. Two basic attacks followed by an E skill explosion killed Meiko instantly.

"Quadra Kill!"

Quadra kill!

Now, only two ADCs remain above the Baron pit.

Xiao Yan's Little Cannon is facing off against iBoy's Xayah.

This is a clash between geniuses, a collision between LPL's last hope and SKT's strongest weapon.

iBoy's Xayah still had Flash available; his hand was shaking, but his eyes remained ruthless.

He knew that as long as he could kill the little cannon, EDG could hold on and create a miracle.

The two were exchanging blows frantically at the edge of the dragon pit.

Xia's feathers kept flying out, and Xiao Pao's shells whistled past.

He used W to jump far away, dodging Xayah's hook.

"Bang!"

Sparks burst forth on Xia's chest.

iBoy watched the screen go black and slumped back in his chair, feeling utterly defeated.

"Penta Kill!!!"

The sound of a pentakill, like the pronouncement of death, echoed throughout the entire Guangzhou Gymnasium.

"Four for five... SKT wiped out EDG." Miller's voice was choked with sobs.

Xiao Yan glanced at the minimap; the minion wave in the middle lane had already crossed the river.

He controlled the diminutive Yordle, walking alone through the empty Summoner's Rift.

The divine presence continued; his field of vision remained completely silent.

He could hear his own rapid heartbeat and feel the cold touch on his fingertips.

Destroy the second tower in the middle lane.

High ground!

At this point, EDG's fastest respawn time is still thirty seconds.

Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment.

Inside the Guangzhou Gymnasium, tens of thousands of spectators watched as the little man carrying a cannon gradually approached EDG's high ground.

The feeling was like watching an executioner slowly walk toward the guillotine.

"We can't hold on... we really can't hold on anymore." In the commentary booth, Wawa was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Xiao Yan stood in front of the turret, the minion wave behind him becoming enormous thanks to the Dragon buff.

He mechanically clicked on the turret, each shot feeling like a blow to the hearts of LPL fans.

The two turrets lasted less than ten seconds against the cannon's terrifying attack speed.

Just a second before Syndra revived, Xiao Yan landed his final basic attack.

"boom--!"

EDG's Nexus shattered completely, turning into countless blue fragments scattered across the Guangzhou night.

The entire room fell silent.

This deathly silence was more oppressive than any booing.
