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

"Understood!" Peanut's morale soared, and he swaggered into SSG's red zone, acting even more arrogantly than if he were in his own home.

"Huni, go top lane and push the minion wave to the second tower, but don't tower dive. Just put pressure on CuVee. Faker, go bottom lane and push the wave."

"And what about you?" Faker asked.

"Me?" Xiao Yan controlled the giant mouth and moved to the middle lane. "With me here, they won't dare to move."

Xiao Yan stood alone in the middle lane, relying on his superior equipment and Lulu's protection, and directly blocked the minion wave in front of SSG's second mid-lane tower.

He neither pushed the tower nor allowed the minion wave to enter the tower, thus forcefully controlling the minion wave.

Crown's Malzahar stood under the tower, looking at the writhing maw of the abyss not far away, sweating profusely, but not daring to use a single skill.

Because if he dares to take a step forward, Big Mouth's venom will mercilessly spray onto his face.

"SKT's strategy is suffocating!" Miller, watching from the commentary booth, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. "Xiao Yan is alone in the mid lane, completely locking Crown under the tower. Meanwhile, Faker and Huni are frantically farming and pushing the lanes on the side lanes. The worst off is Ambition; his jungle has been completely invaded by Peanut, and he can't even get a single Gromp!"

"This is the ultimate application of the classic 'four-protect-one' split-push tactic that transitions to 'one-three-one'!" Changmao analyzed logically. "Xiao Yan used his unparalleled individual ability and equipment advantage to create a huge black hole in the mid lane, attracting most of SSG's attention. Because SSG was wary of Kog'Maw's damage, they didn't dare to send too many people to manage the side lanes. This allowed SKT's side lanes to farm and push towers with impunity."

Twenty minutes have passed.

Baron Nashor has respawned.

But SSG didn't even have the courage to take a look at Baron.

Because their vision has been compressed by SKT to a small area outside the high ground wall.

"The snowball is getting bigger and bigger." Haihai looked at the economic panels of both sides. "After twenty minutes, SKT has already gained a 6,000 gold lead! Nearly 4,000 of that gold difference is concentrated on Xiao Yan's Kog'Maw!"

"We can't keep going like this, we'll be slowly drained dry!" Master An shouted anxiously in the voice chat. His level had already been two levels lower than Peanut's, and his equipment was in a terrible state. He hadn't even crafted a complete Warmog's Armor for Sejuani yet.

"We have to find an opportunity to pick off isolated targets!" A ruthless glint flashed in Crown's eyes. "We'll gank their side lanes! Maokai has Teleport, so we can gank Ryze in the bot lane!"

SSG finally couldn't hold back any longer and prepared to go all out.

Ambition's Sejuani and CoreJJ's Taric quietly crept towards the bottom lane, preparing to coordinate with Malzahar to gank Faker who was pushing too far into the lane.

However, their every move had already fallen into SKT's sights.

"They've gone to capture Sang-hyeok." Xiao Yan glanced at the minimap, a cold smile curving his lips. "Huni, TP to protect him. Peanut, come with me."

Xiao Yan did not choose to go to the bottom lane to provide support. Instead, he took Lulu and Gragas and rushed directly to SSG's upper jungle.

"SKT's instincts are too sharp! They already detected SSG's movements!" Miller exclaimed loudly. "But Xiao Yan didn't go to save Faker. What's he doing? Is he going to take down Baron?!"

No, Xiao Yan did not touch the Great Dragon.

He led his men and circled around to the back of SSG's second top lane tower!

At this moment, CuVee's Treant Protector was preparing to teleport to the bottom lane to support his teammates.

"Interrupt him!" Xiao Yan ordered.

Peanut's Gragas immediately used an E-Flash.

It slammed through the thick wall and crashed hard into the tree that was channeling the teleportation, abruptly interrupting his teleportation!

"What?!" CuVee was shocked. He never expected that someone from SKT would suddenly appear behind him.

"kill!"

Without uttering a single wasted word, Xiao Yan activated his W skill, and Big Mouth unleashed a barrage of fire like a machine gun.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Poor CuVee, as a tanky tree that relies on pressure to grow, his equipment was already poor. Facing a monster Kog'Maw who had already built Blade of the Ruined King (upgraded from Vampiric Scepter), Scythe of Vyse, and Hurricane, he didn't even have a chance to struggle.

Just three seconds!

The tree's health bar evaporated instantly, and it collapsed beneath its own second tower.

"Rampage!"

Big Mouth is about to go berserk!

"Maoye got instantly killed! SKT's feint was brilliant!" Changmao slammed his fist on the table excitedly. "SSG tried to gank bot lane, but not only did they fail to kill Faker, they also lost Maoye in the top lane! And the most fatal thing is, with Maoye dead, the top lane's second turret is also going to be gone!"

After killing the giant tree, Xiao Yan took the opportunity to push down SSG's second top lane tower.

At this point, all three outer towers of SSG had been destroyed.

But Xiao Yan's plundering has only just begun.

"Switch to the middle lane and take the second tower." After pushing down the top tower, Xiao Yan immediately directed the team to switch lanes.

SKT's five players gathered in the mid lane, leading a massive wave of minions, and advanced towards the city.

The remaining four members of SSG could only cower under the second tower, trembling with fear.

Ruler's Varus attempted to clear the wave with his Q skill, but as soon as he raised his hand, Xiao Yan's Kog'Maw took a step forward.

It is a silent deterrent.

It's as if it's saying: If you dare to use your skills, I dare to kill you.

Ruler's hand trembled, and his Q skill missed completely.

"This pressure is too much! Ruler's positioning is all messed up!" Haihai looked at the timid Varus on the screen and couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"Boom!"

The second mid-lane tower was reduced to ruins once again under SKT's overwhelming offensive.

Next up is the bottom lane second tower.

SKT was like a precise and ruthless bulldozer, methodically crushing SSG's defenses under Xiao Yan's command.

Take down the outer towers, invade the jungle, and control vision.

This standard Korean operating system has been taken to its extreme by SKT. But unlike before, at the very front of this bulldozer is an invincible blade—Xiao Yan's gaping maw!

Twenty-four minutes.

All of SSG's outer towers, including the three first towers and the three second towers, were completely uprooted by SKT!

On the entire Summoner's Rift minimap, apart from the three lone high ground towers and the main base on SSG's high ground, the rest of the area is within SKT's vision range.

The economic situation is so bad that it has reached a terrifying level of 10,000!

"A 10,000 gold lead! A 10,000 gold lead in just 24 minutes!" Miller's voice trembled. "On the world stage, this is simply unbelievable! SKT has compressed SSG's survival space to the extreme! They're like a giant python, tightly coiled around SSG, tightening little by little until their prey suffocates!"

"And look at Xiao Yan's gear..." Long-haired guy swallowed hard. "Blade of the Ruined King, Guinsoo's Rageblade, Runaan's Hurricane, Berserker's Greaves, Mercury's Treads, plus a Stopwatch! 24 minutes in, god-tier gear! How can anyone fight him? Even if Malzahar uses his ultimate to pin him down, he can instantly break free and counter-kill!"

"It's time to end all of this."
