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

Update released! Readers have all gone to check it out!

Xiao Yan and Wolf pushed a large wave of minions directly into the tower.

"Cross the tower." Xiao Yan coldly uttered two words.

Wolf's Rakan instantly activated his ultimate, flashed and used W to precisely lift Deft and Mata off the tower!

Xiao Yan's Xayah activated her W skill, unleashing a barrage of feathers that pulled Deft's Varus back with a hook, instantly melting him. Mata's Tahm Kench used his Grey Shield, but it was to no avail, and Xiao Yan easily secured a double kill.

"First Blood!"

"Double Kill!"

The system notification sound echoed throughout LoL Park, and KT fans' hearts sank to the bottom.

But this was only the beginning of a nightmare.

After securing a double kill in the bottom lane, SKT didn't continue their mindless dominance as they did in the regular season. Instead, they displayed a chilling level of tactical execution.

Xiao Yan and Wolf went straight back to the city, and then... headed towards the top lane.

TheShy's Camille teleported to the bottom lane.

Replace the cable!

Just twelve minutes into the game, SKT launched an extremely aggressive lane swap.

Smeb's tree was trembling under the tower when he suddenly saw a Xayah with a red buff and a Rakan appear in front of him, leaving him completely stunned.

Without any suspense, SKT easily destroyed the top lane tower.

Meanwhile, in the bot lane, TheShy's Camille, facing the resurrected Deft and Mata, demonstrated what "top lane dominance" truly means. He didn't farm minions at all; he simply stood in front of the minion wave, using his E skill's extremely long displacement to intimidate KT's bot lane duo.

"What... what kind of strategy is this?" Kim Dong-jun's voice trembled. "SKT's lane rotations were too fast! Too perfect! They used a tower dive in the bottom lane to completely turn the tide of the game! KT's proud defensive formation was torn to shreds by SKT's minion wave manipulation!"

Mata was frantically giving orders over the voice chat, trying to stabilize the situation.

"Give up the outer tower! Defend the second tower! Establish vision! We'll drag this out to the late game!"

But SKT didn't give them a chance to stall.

Fifteen minutes later, the second dragon spawned.

KT grouped up and tried to establish vision around the Dragon Pit. Mata's Tahm Kench was at the front, activating his scanner and cautiously probing the bushes.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Faker's Clockwerk had somehow managed to flank and rear KT's formation. He hid the puppet in the shadows of the wall.

The moment the five KT players reached the pass, Faker activated his ultimate ability.

Command: Shockwave!

The giant mechanical ball instantly contracted, tightly binding KT's mid laner, ADC, and jungler together!

"Faker!! Perfect hidden ball ultimate move!! He pulled three!!" Jeon Yongjun roared hoarsely.

The next second, TheShy's Camille descended from the sky, her ultimate "Hextech Ultimatum" landing squarely on Deft's face. Meanwhile, Xiao Yan's Xayah unleashed a barrage of attacks from the front, her flying feathers like the Grim Reaper's scythe, mercilessly reaping the lives of KT's players.

A devastating 0-for-5 exchange!

SKT not only secured the dragon, but also pushed down KT's mid-lane inhibitor tower.

The game lasted only seventeen minutes.

The economy is so bad that it has reached a terrifying 8,000!

Sitting in the player's seat, Mata stared at the gray screen, his mind blank.

What happened to his prized operations? What happened to his meticulously constructed network of vision?

Compared to SKT, KT was like a baby who had just learned to walk, being brutally beaten by a fully armed adult.

What made Mata even more desperate was what SKT showed in this match.

They didn't mindlessly tower dive like they did in the regular season, nor did they recklessly abandon the minion wave in order to get kills.

Every kill they secured was built upon perfect minion wave management and vision control. They used their exceptional individual skills to gain lane control, then converted that control into jungle invasion, and finally into tower pushes.

This is a breathtaking, flawless "dimensional reduction attack".

"They...not only are their operations better than ours..." Mata murmured, his voice trembling slightly, "their operations...are more perfect than ours."

When exceptional individual skill is combined with exceptional team management, this SKT team has become an invincible monster.

At 21 minutes, SKT secured Baron Nashor.

At 23 minutes, SKT, with the Baron buff, swiftly destroyed KT's base crystal.

The head-to-head ratio is 15:0.

Exquisite Tower!

The entire room fell silent.

There were no cheers, no applause. All the spectators, including the commentators, were stunned by the terrifying dominance SKT displayed in this match.

"This...is this the complete SKT?" Kim Dong-jun swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "They not only crushed KT in terms of mechanics, but they also completely surrounded and strangled KT in their strongest area of ​​strategy. This is not even a match on the same level."

……

A short break.

The atmosphere in KT's lounge was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Deft covered his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling slightly. He recalled the fear of being dominated by Xiao Yan in the regular season. In that game just now, his Varus only dealt 3,000 damage throughout the entire match, even less than Mata's Tahm Kench.

Smeb lowered his head, staring intently at his hands. He was once the world's best top laner, but in front of TheShy, he felt like a clumsy bronze player.

Head coach Zan Darc stood in front of the tactics board, his hand holding the marker hanging in mid-air, unsure of what to write.

tactics?

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, any tactic is pale and powerless.

"Coach..." Mata looked up, his eyes red-rimmed, "We...can't beat them. Their vision control, their understanding of minion waves, everything is superior to ours. As soon as the laning phase ends, we're already trapped in their net."

ZanDarc took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the despair in his heart.

"Listen up, guys," ZanDarc's voice was a little hoarse. "We were too conservative in the first game. Since we can't outmaneuver them with macro, we'll go all out! In the second game, we'll go for an early-game composition! Smeb, you get Jayce! Deft, you get Caitlyn! We'll fight them to the death in the laning phase!"

The KT players raised their heads, a resolute glint in their eyes.

Yes, since there's no way to retreat, we have no choice but to take a gamble.

However, they didn't realize that the moment they abandoned operations and chose to compete with SKT in terms of strategy, they had already stepped into a true hell.

……

The second game, the draft phase.

KT indeed changed their strategy, selecting an extremely aggressive early-game fighting lineup: Jayce top, Olaf jungle, Syndra mid, and Caitlyn and Morgana bot lane.

This lineup will be useless in the mid-to-late game if it doesn't gain an advantage in the first fifteen minutes.

SKT's response, however, left the entire audience gasping in surprise.

Top lane, Fiora (TheShy).

Jungle, Spider Queen (Peanut).

Mid laner, LeBlanc (Faker).

Bottom lane: Draven (Xiao Yan) and Thresh (Wolf).

"They're insane! SKT's gone mad!" Jeon Yongjun roared. "They've drafted an even more extreme, all-fighting composition than KT! No frontline, no engage, just assassins and finishers! SKT is telling KT: You want to rely on mechanics? Then we'll crush you with our mechanics!"

Game start.
