Instead of immediately targeting Varus, he used the piercing effect of his ultimate to aim his crossbow bolts at Sejuani and Taliyah, who were positioned most densely.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Each crossbow bolt dealt over two hundred points of extra critical damage, and the hurricane's split arrows darted wildly through the crowd.

The health bars of the four KT members melted away rapidly, like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

Pawn's Taliyah attempted to use her ultimate to block the way, but Xiao Yan used an extremely skillful lateral movement to dodge Taliyah's rock-bursting attack once again.

"Triple kill!"

"Quadruple kill!"

The system broadcast announcements continuously.

Deft attempted to trade kills with Xiao Yan at the last moment using Flash, but Wolf's Janna kept a close eye on him. She applied a Weakness spell, followed by her ultimate, "Revival Monsoon," which shoved Varus away.

Xiao Yan pulled the trigger of the crossbow without any expression.

"Bang!"

The final basic attack took away Deft's last shred of dignity.

"Penta Kill!"

Pentakill!

Although this team fight was technically divided into two battlefields, the system determined that Xiao Yan had completed the elimination of the entire KT team in a very short time.

"Pentakill! Xiao Yan got another pentakill!" Miller's voice was completely hoarse; he felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest. "Two to zero! SKT is going to lead 2 to zero!"

With all KT members eliminated, SKT faced no further obstacles.

Together they destroyed the mid-lane inhibitor, and then, with a massive number of super minions, surged toward the giant blue Nexus.

"boom--!"

The crystal exploded.

A huge "VICTORY" appeared on the screen.

The atmosphere in KT's lounge was so heavy it was suffocating.

Coach Li Zhixun's hands were trembling slightly. Looking at Xiao Yan's exaggerated statistics on the screen, he felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.

"What kind of monster is he?" Score sat in his chair, his eyes unfocused. "I try to gank him at level three, and he gets a kill; I try to control him at level six, and he dodges; I try to split push and create space, and he teleports in for a solo kill. How am I supposed to fight him?"

Deft sat in the corner, covering his face with a towel.

"We haven't lost yet!" Smeb suddenly stood up, his eyes burning with a frenzied fighting spirit. "There's still a chance. Next game, we're on the blue side. We'll ban all his core champions, we'll pick the strongest laning duo, we'll crush him from level one!"

Lee Ji-hoon took a deep breath and nodded: "That's right. Next game, we won't play late game. We're going to play early to mid game, we're going to use that strategy."

"That set?" Pawn looked up. "That's our last trump card."

"Give it to me," Li Zhixun said through gritted teeth. "If you don't give it to me now, you'll never have another chance."

The third game begins.

When both contestants stepped back onto the stage, the cheers from the audience had become a torrent, and the loudest name among them was only one—"Xiao Yan"!

"Alright, welcome back! This is the match point game between SKT and KT!" Miller readjusted his mindset. "We can see that KT is on the blue side this game, and their bans are very decisive."

First pick: Frost Archer.

Second weapon: rats.

The third option: a policewoman.

On the SKT players' bench.

Coach Kkoma frowned: "Ayan, they're targeting you very tightly. Right now, your only options are Varus or Ezreal. Or, should we pick Kog'Maw to protect you?"

Xiao Yan looked at the screen.

Varus? Too bulky.

EZ? Lacks damage output in the late game.

Big Mouth? That's because he puts all his bets on his teammates; he's not used to that.

His gaze slowly moved across the hero list, finally settling on a portrait that hadn't appeared in a prominent position in professional matches for a long time.

The hero wore a dark purple cloak, held a heavy crossbow, and had a cold, demon hunter-like look in his eyes.

"Vaine, the Night Hunter."

The moment Xiao Yan clicked on the profile picture, the entire Oriental Sports Center fell into a deathly silence, followed by a cheer that was more frenzied than ever before!

"Vayne! Xiao Yan picked Vayne!" Miller felt a chill run down his spine. "In this Ardent Censer meta, Vayne is strong, but her laning phase is too tough! Especially against KT's Tristana and Lulu picks, is Xiao Yan pushing his limits?"

"Is this his faith?" Wawa exclaimed excitedly. "In the match point game, under the watchful eyes of the whole world, he chose the hero that best represents individual skill and is also the easiest to blame! Xiao Yan, he's going to become a god!"

Xiao Yan ignored the commotion outside.

He locked onto Vayne, then turned to Wolf and said, "This game, get me a hard CC, we need to go on the offensive."

Wolf understood immediately and locked onto Alistar, the Tauren Chieftain!

The final lineups for both sides have been determined:

Blue side KT:

Top Lane: Jayce (Smeb)

Jungler: Kha'Zix (Score)

Mid Lane: Syndra (Pawn)

ADC: Tristana (Deft)

Support: Lulu (Mata)

Red team SKT:

Top Lane: Gnar (Huni)

Jungler: Gragas (Peanut)

Mid laner: Galio (Faker)

ADC: Vayne (Xiao Yan)

Support: Wolf

"In this game, KT has unleashed an extremely aggressive lineup! Jayce, Kha'Zix, Syndra—they're aiming to melt Xiao Yan in an instant!" Miller analyzed. "On SKT's side, Faker has picked Galio, which is a clear indication of their strategy—we need to protect Vayne! We need to create opportunities for Vayne to deal damage!"

Game start.

Xiao Yan controlled Vayne, bought a Doran's Shield, and calmly headed towards the bottom lane.

"We can see that Deft's starting items this game were very aggressive, with a Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, while Xiao Yan opted for a more conservative Doran's Shield." Miller stared intently at the big screen. "For Vayne, the first six levels are hell. If he can survive that, that's when the hunt begins, but Deft clearly doesn't want to give him that chance."

The minion waves converge in the bottom lane.

Deft's Tristana displayed overwhelming dominance from the start. He utilized Tristana's passive ability to increase range with level, constantly landing a basic attack the moment Xiao Yan finished him off.

"Bang!"

The cannonball struck Vayne, and with the added damage from Lulu Pix, Vayne's health visibly fluctuated.

Xiao Yan remained calm and did not rush to retaliate. Vayne's 550-yard range meant she had almost no advantage in trading blows against a Tristana with Lulu in the early game.

He used Vayne's sideways Q skill "Dodge Strike" to roll and land, killing a low-health minion before quickly retreating to avoid Tristana's follow-up E skill "Explosive Spark".

"It's so frustrating! Although Xiao Yan managed to get a last hit, Deft managed to land two free hits." Wawa looked at the screen, sweating for Xiao Yan. "Deft and Mata's teamwork is amazing. Lulu's E skill always hits Tristana precisely, increasing her basic attack damage, or slows Vayne when she wants to recover her health."

Five minutes later, the situation in the bottom lane became extremely tense.
