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

Chapter 171 A Bizarre Eye Position Makes a Great Contribution

Inside Summoner's Rift, a suffocating darkness still shrouds SKT's half of the map.

From God's perspective, SSG's jungler Ambition is controlling Jarvan IV, along with support CoreJJ's Taric, like two precise and ruthless mine-clearing machines, invading SKT's upper jungle once again.

"Master An has activated his scan again! He's walked into that lone clump of grass by the river!" The doll, glued to the screen, announced loudly, "Little Peanut just put a ward outside the grass; he's definitely going to be spotted now... Wait a minute!"

The baby's voice suddenly caught in her throat, as if she had seen a ghost.

On the big screen, the prince of the An Sect, with a red scanning lens on his head, swaggered into the grass in the middle of the river.

The red light waves from the scan rippled back and forth inside the bushes. After confirming that there was no SKT vision inside, Ambition walked straight through the bushes and headed towards the Dragon Pit.

Just two body lengths away from that patch of grass, in a dark corner against the thick wall of the Dragon Pit, the fake ward that Peanut had just placed stood quietly.

The edge of the scan was less than fifty yards away from the fake eye!

The prince and the Jewel Knight were thus exposed to the "misaligned" vision of the fake eye without any warning.

SKT saw everything they did, even when Ambition paused for a moment to signal his teammates to retreat.

"Didn't it detect anything?!" Miller's eyes widened in shock, and he gasped. "Master An's scan perfectly avoided Peanut's eye!"

Before the commentators could recover from their shock, another disturbance was heard in the lower half of the bracket.

SSG's mid laner Crown, controlling Malzahar, was preparing to take down his own F6 camp.

He habitually avoided the standard defensive bushes next to F6, because he knew that his jungler had just cleared them and that they were safe.

He walked straight into the F6 pit to prepare to use his skill.

However, in the deepest part of the F6 pit, in a blind spot where no one would normally place a ward, right next to the thick wall of the high ground, the fake ward that Wolf had set up had a clear view of Malzahar's movements!

Not only that, Faker's Orianna even accurately predicted Malzahar's position based on this vision, through the thick wall, and threw a QW combo to blind him with vision!

"Bang!"

Caught off guard, Crown was startled by the sudden damage, his health dropped drastically in an instant, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to attack F6, quickly using his shield to retreat.

"How is this possible?!"

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the full map vision distribution of SKT shown by the director. His face, which was originally full of confusion, was now filled with disbelief and shock.

"I understand! I finally understand!" Guan Zeyuan's voice trembled with excitement. Pointing at the big screen, he analyzed rapidly, "My God, what's going on in Xiao Yan's head? Is he a monster?!"

"Zeyuan, what did you see? Explain it to everyone!" Wawa asked anxiously. The audience was also confused and couldn't understand the significance of SKT's move at all.

Guan Zeyuan took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited emotions: "Look closely at Ambition's warding route just now! Why was SSG's vision control so terrifying before? It's because they thoroughly studied SKT! They knew where SKT's defensive wards were, so Ambition's scans always precisely covered those 'regular bushes' and 'key intersections'!"

"However, the scanning range is limited!" Guan Zeyuan emphasized. "Xiao Yan had Peanut place wards outside the bushes and Wolf place wards at the deepest part of the F6 pit. These seemingly foolish and unreasonable 'open-ground wards' and 'blind spot wards' perfectly avoid SSG's habitual scanning paths!"

Miller suddenly realized, slapping his thigh: "My God! This is illogical! This is the ultimate example of illogical psychological warfare! SSG's coaching staff studied SKT's videos from the past year and derived their ward-placement data. And Xiao Yan, in just a few minutes, completely overturned all of SKT's habits; he exploited SSG's 'over-reliance' on data!"

"That's right!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed. "SSG assumed the area was safe because they thought there were no eyes in the bushes. But they never expected that SKT's eyes were planted just a step outside their scanning range in the open ground! SSG thought they were hunting in the shadows, unaware that their supposedly foolproof vision network had been torn open by Xiao Yan in this seemingly absurd way! Now, SKT is watching them from the shadows!"

The audience erupted in uproar, and the live stream chat exploded with comments.

"Holy crap! You can do that?!"

"Placing wards outside the bushes to prevent ganks? What kind of genius is that?"

"Xiao Yan's brain is amazing! He predicted your prediction!"

"SSG's coach must be going crazy backstage, how are they supposed to defend against this?"

As the comments on the screen said, the atmosphere on SSG's bench had subtly changed.

"Damn it, how did Clockwerk know I was in F6?" Crown frowned as he looked at his health bar dropping for no reason.

Master An also felt a little uneasy. He had been lurking in the mid-lane river for a long time, hoping to catch Faker, but Faker seemed to have activated a global cheat, sticking to the wall in the top half of the map and not even glancing at him.

"Something's not right," Sect Leader An said in a deep voice. "They have our surveillance capabilities."

"Impossible," support CoreJJ immediately retorted. "We've already warded their jungle. I just followed you and scanned all the bushes in the top half of the map, and there wasn't a single ward."

"Go to the grassy area outside the river, yes, near the wall of the Great Dragon Pit, and place a real eye there," Master An instructed, relying on his veteran's extremely keen intuition.

Despite his doubts, CoreJJ still controlled the Gem Knight to walk over and plant a True Sight Ward in the open space marked by Ambition.

"bite."

The True Sight ward descended, its red light instantly obscuring the surrounding vision. And under the True Sight ward's illumination, Peanut's lone fake eye, stuck in the empty ground, became clearly visible!

"This..." CoreJJ's pupils shrank, and he gasped.

As Sect Leader An looked at the fake eye, a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

This wasn't a mistake where the eye was inserted crookedly.

This is an extremely precise, meticulously calculated "counter-eye" specifically designed to counter his scanning habits!

"They've changed the location of the eye sockets." Master An's voice became more solemn than ever before.

The SSG team members fell silent in unison.

They didn't laugh at their opponent for placing the ward in an empty space. As top professional players, they knew all too well the value of such "illogical ward placements".

No matter how outrageous the placement of the ward is, as long as it survives and detects key information, it is a god-level ward placement!
