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

With two kills and the lead in last-hitting, Xiao Yan went home and immediately bought an Infinity Blade, attack speed boots, and a Zeal.

At this point in time, a small cannon equipped with this kind of weaponry is practically terrorist.

"Take down the top tower and switch lanes."

Xiao Yan's commands were concise and clear.

As the top lane tower collapsed with a deafening roar, SKT's bot lane duo descended upon the bottom lane like the Grim Reaper.

Deft felt a pang of bitterness as he looked at the Yordle carrying a cannon, whose face seemed to scream "Invincible." He glanced at his own meager equipment, then at Xiao Yan's luxurious attire, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

How do we fight this?

Xiao Yan simply wouldn't reason with Deft.

As soon as the minion wave reached the tower, he immediately activated his Q skill and started spamming attacks on the tower.

Deft attempted to use his Q skill to clear the minion wave, slightly relieving the pressure on the turret.

However, as soon as he raised his hand, Xiao Yan seemed to have anticipated his move and suddenly changed his target.

A basic attack followed by the splash damage from the E skill's explosion, and then a critical basic attack.

"Bang!"

The red critical hit numbers were particularly glaring.

In just a moment, Deft's previously healthy health bar was like a dam bursting, gushing out and disappearing by a third in an instant!

"Damn it..." Deft's hand trembled, and he quickly handed over the healing item, scrambling back into the secluded bushes of the second tower.

At that moment, Deft felt like a powerless husband, watching helplessly as that thug named "Xiao Yan" kicked open his front door and acted recklessly right in front of him, while he could only hide in a corner, trembling and not daring to utter a sound.

"This is too tragic, really too tragic." In the commentary booth, CloudTemplar couldn't help but shake his head as he watched this scene. "Deft doesn't even have the right to look at the minion wave now. As long as he appears in Xiao Yan's range, he'll be killed in two or three shots."

"Boom!"

The bottom lane tower has fallen.

Xiao Yan didn't even lift his eyelids. He turned around and went into the jungle, casually eating up the stone beetle that Score had just spawned.

Meanwhile, Peanut, whistling, comfortably secured the second dragon—an earth dragon—which greatly boosted his tower-pushing momentum.

"Assemble in the middle lane."

SKT's pace was suffocating.

Xiao Yan led Wolf to the mid lane, and together with Faker's Orianna, the three of them pushed forward.

Despite KT's desperate resistance, the mid-lane tower only lasted less than half a minute before being reduced to ruins by Tristana's unreasonable range and explosive damage.

At this point, all of KT's outer towers were destroyed, and their vision was completely lost.

However, KT is, after all, a top team in the LCK, and their resilience was on full display at this moment.

"Defend the high ground! Don't go out!" Mata shouted in the voice chat. "Rumble and Ryze clear the wave quickly. As long as we don't leave the high ground, they can't get up!"

KT's entire team huddled under their high ground tower. Smeb used Rumble's ultimate to clear waves, while Pawn's Ryze spammed abilities to push the lane.

Faced with this impenetrable defense, Xiao Yan was indeed having a headache. Although the cannon was fast at pushing towers, its range wasn't as long as the policewoman's, and forcibly pushing high ground towers would easily result in being caught out.

"Okay, so you like shrinking, huh?"

Xiao Yan sneered and marked KT's jungle area, "From now on, this jungle area belongs to Xiao Yan."

The next five minutes became Score's nightmare.

Red Buff? Xiao Yan's.

Blue Buff? Faker's.

The Three Wolves? Xiao Yan's.

F6? Or is it Xiao Yan's?

Xiao Yan was like a greedy predator, devouring all the edible resources on the map.

His level jumped to 16, and he gained a cannon and a Whisper in his equipment slots.

Score's Graves could only tearfully scrape by on his own high ground, accumulating a meager amount of minion experience, falling three levels behind Xiao Yan.

"Is the vision ready?" Xiao Yan asked while attacking the river crab.

"Don't worry, we have eyes and ears all around Dragon Pit," Wolf said confidently. "We can see even a fly fly by."

Xiao Yan nodded, his eyes sharpening: "They're clearing the wave too quickly; this can't go on. Force a team fight at Baron."

At this point, the game has been running for 35 minutes.

Baron Nash.

The five members of SKT suddenly disappeared from the map.

The KT members, who were diligently clearing out enemy soldiers on the high ground, suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

"Where is he?" Smeb asked somewhat uneasily.

"They're all gone..." Mata stared at the dark jungle, his face grim. "The jungle resources have all been cleared out; they have no reason to recall. There's only one possibility..."

"Big Dragon!"

This word came to everyone's mind.

If this over-farmed Tristana gets the Baron buff, combined with the bonus from the three Earth Dragons, their high ground towers will crumble like paper.

"We can't let them go! Letting them go is a slow death!" Mata gritted his teeth. "We have to go! Even if we lose, we'll die in the dragon pit!"

"Pawn! Drive!"

The KT players demonstrated remarkable decisiveness.

Pawn's Ryze didn't hesitate at all, immediately activating his ultimate ability, Warp!

The azure rune array did not land on the outer edge of the dragon pit, but instead landed directly on the side of the dragon pit—they were going to charge in and fight to the death!

"They're here!"

Xiao Yan, who was fighting the dragon, looked at the blue light circle that lit up under his feet and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.

At this point, the dragon still had half its health remaining.

"Stop!" Xiao Yan turned his gun around. "Kill them first, then take the dragon!"

The five SKT players stopped instantly, all their guns, staffs, and fists aimed at the blue circle that was about to teleport them to the ground.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

"Buzz—"

With a distortion in space, the five KT players landed as Ryze teleported with his ultimate ability.

Everyone knows that the moment they land, all their skills and all their aggro will be unleashed on that little cannon with the most luxurious equipment and the most terrifying output in the entire arena.

KT can win as long as they can defeat Xiao Yan instantly!

"Save me! Save me!" Deft screamed in the voice chat, his palms sweating profusely.

However, just as the teleportation circle was about to solidify, Xiao Yan did something that made the entire audience, the commentators, and even the KT players' scalps tingle.

He didn't retreat to find a better position to deal damage, nor did he hide behind Huni Titan's broad back.

"Want to kill me? Then come and trade your life!"

Xiao Yan's eyes were calm as he gently tapped the W key.

Rocket Jump!

The Yordle carrying a cannon bigger than himself actually advanced instead of retreating the moment the KT team landed, jumping directly into the blue circle of light that represented death!

"Is he crazy?! Is this a physical attack?!" CloudTemplar was so shocked on the commentary panel that he almost swallowed the microphone.

In mid-air, Xiao Yan's E skill [Explosive Spark] was precisely positioned above Deft Varus's head, followed by the activation of his Q skill [Rapid Fire], transforming the cannon in his hand into a Gatling gun, spitting out deadly tongues of fire.

Land, basic attack, then unleash your ultimate skill, [Destructive Shot]!

"boom!"

The immense force blasted Deft, who had just landed, flying him away. As his body flew backward, the bomb hanging above his head was instantly stacked by Xiao Yan's extremely fast basic attacks.

boom!

The red critical hit numbers exploded like blood.

Deft didn't even have time to raise his hand for a basic attack or cast a healing spell before his health bar vanished instantly, as if by magic!

SKT T1's Xiao Yan has eliminated KT Deft!

Sold out instantly!

Amidst a vast army, take the enemy general's head!

"Damn it! Kill him! Kill him now!" Mata's eyes were bloodshot; Deft's sudden death had driven him mad.

At that moment, the remaining four members of KT unleashed their skills at Xiao Yan like madmen.

Smeb's Rumble's ultimate, "Constant Burn," was placed directly at Xiao Yan's feet, where flames roared; Pawn's Ryze rolled up his sleeves and unleashed a flurry of spells; Score's Graves even slid forward and unleashed his ultimate, "Ultimate Bomb," at point-blank range.

Xiao Yan didn't run away, nor could he escape.

He stood still amidst the flames, unleashing devastating attacks; each shell felt like a death sentence. In the final second before being melted by focused fire, he managed to reduce Pawn's Ryze to near-death, landing a final critical hit.

"My mission is complete. The rest... is up to you."

Looking at his screen that had gone gray, Xiao Yan wore a victorious smile.

KT Score eliminates SKT T1's Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan has fallen, but the nightmare for the KT members has only just begun.

In order to kill this crazy little cannon who jumped right in their face, KT used up all their key ultimate moves and all their control skills. They even huddled together to focus fire on Xiao Yan.

And this was precisely the moment that Xiao Yan created for Faker with his life—the decisive moment.

"Well done, Xiao Yan."

Faker, who had been hovering like a ghost on the edge of the battlefield, suddenly had a cold glint in his eyes.

The Clockwork Puppet had been quietly delivered to Huni's Titan. Huni understood immediately, teleported in, and slammed down the massive anchor, simultaneously triggering Clockwork's ultimate ability.

[Command: Shockwave!]

Strangulate!

The air seemed to be distorted, and the enormous suction force instantly pulled the four KT members, who had used all their skills and were standing close together, together.

"End them!"

Peanut's Lee Sin ward-hopped in and kicked three people away with a single R-flash; Wolf's Lulu shielded Faker and gave him a speed boost.

The next scene depicts a one-sided massacre.

Without their skills, without their AD carry, and with low health and grouped together, the KT players were like lambs to the slaughter in the face of Faker's Orianna's terrifying AOE damage.

Double Kill!

Triple Kill!

Quadra Kill!

The system's rousing female voice echoed throughout the arena. Faker's Orianna, stepping over the corpses of the KT players, secured a quadra kill to finish them off.

ACE! (Total wipeout!)

"They won! SKT won!" The commentary booth erupted in jubilation. "Xiao Yan's act of sacrificing himself was a stroke of genius! He traded his life for all of KT's skills and their only damage dealer! This isn't just an AD carry, this is an assassin! Xiao Yan gave himself up!"

The remaining four members of SKT easily secured Baron Nashor.

With the Baron buff, the enhanced minion wave crushed KT's high ground like a bulldozer, shattering their crystal.

The barrage of comments in the live stream exploded like an avalanche, instantly flooding the screen.

[Holy crap! This is AD?! This is practically a suicide truck!]

[I got teary-eyed, really. When Bang was around, I was only worried he might suddenly die; now that Xiao Yan is here, I'm worried he might scare the other side to death!]

[Deft: Called the police! Someone's pointing a cannon at my face!]

To be fair, although Xiao Yan gave up in this play, he managed to bait out all five of KT's abilities. Faker's ultimate that pulled in four opponents felt like he was playing against bots.

Is this the ultimate "dog-selling tactic"? I love it!

On the commentary desk, CT was still savoring the team fight from before, his expression incredibly complex: "Wow... I've been commentating on LCK for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen an AD carry play like this. We usually say that AD carries need to be alive to deal damage, but Xiao Yan seems to be saying, 'Even if I die, I'll take you all down with me.' This extreme aggression completely overturns SKT's previous lukewarm style of play!"

Another commentator, Roaring Emperor, pushed up his glasses and exclaimed, "Yes, and what's most terrifying is that he didn't just mindlessly feed. He calculated the damage, made sure he could instantly kill Deft, and that his teammates could follow up before jumping in. That requires an incredible ability to judge the situation. Now the pressure is on KT. What should they do in the draft for the next game?"

……

The atmosphere in the KT team's rest room was so oppressive it felt like you could wring water out of it.

Coach Lee Ji-hoon paced anxiously back and forth in the room, his notebook crumpled in his hand. His brow was furrowed, as if a fly was trapped inside.

It's so painful.

It's really so painful.

Before the match, they made detailed plans to counter Xiao Yan. They banned Caitlyn and Kalista, and then picked Varus as a substitute for banning, hoping to limit Xiao Yan, make Deft's laning phase more comfortable, and drag the game into the late game to take over.

The results of it?

This little cannon is even scarier than a policewoman!

In Xiao Yan's hands, that W skill [Rocket Jump] wasn't used for escaping at all, but for charging in and dealing damage!

"Coach, what's the next game?" Support Mata took off his glasses and rubbed his throbbing temples. "If we keep targeting the AD carry, Faker's champion pool will be unleashed."

Mata didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

There are only a few ban slots in total.

If Caitlyn, Tristana, and Kalista are banned, what will happen to Faker's Syndra, Orianna, Ryze, and Galio?

Moreover, they will be on the red side in the next game, so they can't play the strategy of picking instead of banning like they did in the last game. Xiao Yan's Varus is also playing very well.

It's like having two cups of poison in front of you.

Drink the one on the left and you'll get blown up by Xiao Yan's AD carry; drink the one on the right and Faker, the Great Demon King, will be completely unleashed.

Moreover, no matter who it targets, it is impossible to achieve 100% restriction.

Coach Lee Ji-hoon stared at the tactics board, looking like his hair was turning white with worry. He glanced at Deft, who was sitting in the corner with his head down.

At this moment, Deft's face was pale, and his eyes revealed a sense of resentment and humiliation.

As a top AD carry in the LCK, being repeatedly crushed by a rookie in front of the entire audience dealt a devastating blow to his pride.

"Heuk, what do you think?" the coach asked tentatively.

Deft raised his head, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually hardened, even showing a hint of ruthlessness.

"coach……"
