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

The atmosphere in the backstage lounge of the Wuhan Sports Center was relaxed and pleasant.

The SKT players were enjoying a short halftime break, and Peanut even started humming a tune.

However, in stark contrast to the relaxed atmosphere here, the comment sections of major domestic live streaming platforms are currently a chaotic mess.

Despite SKT's 2-0 lead, and Xiao Yan's performance as Han Bing in the second game showcasing top-notch tactical skills and a spirit of sacrifice, those prejudiced "haters" saw it all as an excuse to attack.

[Hilarious! This is supposed to be SKT's new AD? 0-0-2 the whole game? Is this what you call a carry?]

To be honest, I could play Ashe this game too. It's just a matter of using E to clear vision and then randomly casting your ultimate, right?

[Faker and Peanut practically fed them; even a dog could win.]

[Huangzaliu: If Uzi were on SKT, they would have already swept the game. Why did it have to go on for 25 minutes? This Xiao Yan is just a freeloader!]

[Pig Offal: Indeed, this Ice Queen has absolutely no suppressive power; she was just lucky to be on a strong team.]

[60E comment: Bang may not be in good form lately, but at least he has two championship skins. What does this newbie have? All he does is suck up to Faker.]

These glaring comments spread like a virus in the live stream. In their view, an ADC should be like Uzi, dominating in lane, reaping kills in team fights, protecting the carry and taking resources from all three lanes, and then dealing explosive damage. The kind of play Xiao Yan did in the previous game, sacrificing stats for the team and playing a supporting role, was seen as "cowardly," "unreliable," and "lacking skill."

"Oh……"

In the lounge, Xiao Yan looked at the obscene comments on his phone screen and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong?" Faker turned around and handed him a bottle of water.

"Nothing much, just saw some funny jokes," Xiao Yan said casually as he turned off his phone.

……

The third game is about to begin.

In the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller's expressions were somewhat subtle. Clearly, they had also noticed the online buzz during the break.

"Ahem, okay, welcome back!" Wawa forcefully steered the conversation back on track. "SKT currently holds three match points, and the situation looks very favorable. However, some viewers online seem to have mixed opinions about Xiao Yan."

Miller nodded, his tone serious: "Actually, I think everyone's understanding of ADC might be a bit off. Although Xiao Yan's Ashe stats weren't flashy last game, his tactical value was immeasurable. But... since everyone wants to see that carry-type performance, I wonder if Xiao Yan will bring us any surprises this game."

BP begins.

In this game, the two sides switched sides.

SKT moved to the blue side, while MSF moved to the red side.

The moment the teams switched sides, the MSF coaching staff instantly wore masks of anguish.

In version S7, the red side has a natural disadvantage—they have to bear the pressure of banning champions. Especially Kalista, this champion is a must-ban or must-pick on the blue side, and the red side must ban her, otherwise giving the opponent a free win is just giving away points.

"Ban Kalista," the MSF coach said helplessly.

MSF was forced to give the first ban to Skateboard.

Immediately afterwards, SKT banned Lulu, Janna's arch-rival, and Sejuani in the jungle.

MSF is facing a huge dilemma regarding its last two ban slots.

The memory of Xiao Yan's five-kill streak in the first game is still fresh in their minds, and Han Bing's disgusting full-map strategy also makes their scalps tingle.

"Ban Kog'Maw?" the support Ignar asked.

"We banned Kog'Maw, but what about Tristana? Twitch? Xayah?" The coach scratched his head, feeling like he was going bald. "We don't have enough bans!"

This is the price to pay for targeting Xiao Yan. When you try to limit a player with an incredibly deep hero pool using bans, you'll find yourself in a dead end.

Ultimately, MSF gritted its teeth and made a decision:

Ban: Big Mouth!

Ban: Little Cannon!

They shut down two of the late-game cores with the longest range and most explosive damage output.

"So... Varus has been released." Hans Sama stared at the screen, swallowing hard. "Will they take it?"

"Varus has no mobility, so we can catch him." A ruthless glint flashed in Ignar's eyes. "As long as it's not one with mobility or an exceptionally long range, we have a chance."

SKT, first floor.

Without any hesitation, it was locked instantly!

Varus, the Arrow of Punishment!

"Wow! SKT first-picked Varus!" Miller exclaimed. "That's Xiao Yan's signature champion! Do you all remember his Varus game against Ruler in his LCK debut? He really gave Ruler a psychological trauma!"

The doll got excited too: "That's right! Since you dare to let it go, then I dare to take it! Besides, SKT is on the blue side this game, so picking Varus first is no problem at all!"

Immediately afterwards, SKT locked down Janna on the second floor.

"Varus and Janna!" Miller analyzed. "This is one of the most standard Ardent Censer compositions in S7. Janna has extremely strong protective abilities, and combined with Varus' high damage output, SKT is going to play a positional game this time."

MSF countered by picking the "Phoenix Legend" duo of Xayah and Rakan, attempting to use this couple's strong initiation and burst damage to counter Varus.

The final lineup is confirmed:

Blue side SKT:

Top laner Huni: Cho'Gath

Jungler Peanut: Jarvan IV

Mid laner Faker: Orianna

ADC Xiao Yan: Varus

Support Wolf: Janna

Red team MSF:

Top laner Alphari: Shen

Jungler Maxlore: Lee Sin

Mid-lane PowerOfEvil: Ryze

ADC Hans Sama: Kasumi

Support Ignar: Rakan

The game loading screen.

As Xiao Yan stared at the hero's portrait on the screen, holding a purple longbow, the familiar mechanical voice in his mind rang out again. Although there were no new rewards, the "god-level proficiency" feeling that was already ingrained in his bones brought him to his peak condition.

Everything about Varus—the speed of his projectiles, the charging time, the calculation of the number of layers in his withered quiver, the hitbox of his ultimate—all the data seemed to have become instinct, flowing in his blood.

"Since you all say I'm a scoundrel..."

Xiao Yan gripped the mouse tightly, his eyes sharpening like an eagle's.

"Then this round, I'll show you what it means to 'treat the opponent like a bot'."

"All troops, attack!"

As the system's rousing female voice rang out, ten heroes descended upon Summoner's Rift.

In this game, MSF's tactical intention was very clear: to target the bottom lane.

Lee Sin, Shen, Ryze, Rakan... these four champions together are practically born for "tower diving and killing AD carries without mobility".

"Be careful, with their lineup, they'll go crazy ganking the bot lane after level 6," Wolf warned Peanut while helping him clear the jungle.

"It's nothing." Xiao Yan's voice was so calm it was completely unwavering. "Let them come."

online.

Hans Sama's Xayah, relying on Rakan's support, played aggressively, trying to reach level two first.

However, just as Xayah raised her hand to finish off the first melee minion—

Whoosh!

A dark purple arrow, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, pierced precisely through the gap between the two soldiers and struck Xia.

Q skill: Piercing Arrow!

The arrow wasn't charged for long, but the angle was extremely tricky. It not only finished off a low-health minion but also chipped away at Xayah's health.

"So accurate." Hans Sama frowned.

But this is only the beginning.

For the next three minutes, the bottom lane turned into a one-sided "torture show".

Xiao Yan's Verus demonstrated a breathtaking ability to control distance.

Whenever Luo tries to use W [Grand Entrance] to lift someone up, Xiao Yan always manages to take a small step back 0.1 seconds before Luo jumps, just hitting the edge of Luo's skill range, making it look like Luo is bowing his head on the spot.

And during the period of stun when Luo's skill fails, Xiao Yan's counterattack begins.

Basic attack, basic attack, E [Evil Arrow Rain]!

Engage the deceleration skill, then follow up with a basic attack!

Snapped!

The three-layer withering effect was triggered, and Luo's health dropped significantly in an instant.

"Is this guy's sense of distance...monster?" Ignar broke out in a cold sweat. He felt like a clumsy clown, every attack he made was seen through and he was severely punished.

4 minutes 30 seconds.

MSF's jungler Lee Sin couldn't hold back any longer.

"I'm here! Luo, get ready to carry me!"

Maxlore's Lee Sin bypassed the vision and crept across the river.

At this moment, the minion wave is in the middle, and Varus's position seems somewhat dangerous.

"Die!"

Ignar's Rakan suddenly launched an attack, using his E skill to reposition and then flashing to W!

This combo is extremely fast, leaving almost no time to react!

However, the instant Luo flashed and landed, a golden light shone.

Xiao Yan used his Flash!

But instead of flashing towards the tower, he flashed to the side and forward!

This flash not only dodged Rakan's knock-up, but also allowed him to cross the minion wave and arrive right in front of Xayah!

"What?!" Hans Sama exclaimed in shock.

He had assumed Varus would run away, so he predicted and threw his Q skill [Double Blades] backward. But Xiao Yan's flash caused all his skills to miss!

"beat!"

Xiao Yan let out a low shout.

Wolf's Janna immediately understood and shielded Varus, while simultaneously using her W to slow down Lee Sin.

Xiao Yan drew his longbow to its full extent, unleashing a barrage of basic attacks upon Xia.

Seeing this, Lee Sin quickly used his ward and W to shield Xayah, then used his Q to kick Varus.

"Too slow."

Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly, and the instant the Blind Monk used his Q, he made a small right-angle movement.

The sonic wave grazed past the hem of Verus's clothes!

It's empty!

Lee Sin's most crucial damage skill missed!

At this moment, Varus's attack speed increased due to the effect of the Scythe of Vyse.

Flat A, flat A, flat A!

Xia's health was dropping rapidly. Hans Sama panicked and used his healing ability to retreat.

But Xiao Yan persisted, pursuing him relentlessly while moving at an A-rank.

Just as Xia was about to escape back to the foot of the tower, Xiao Yan suddenly stopped.

Press the Q key.

The longbow was drawn taut, and dark purple energy gathered at the tip of the arrow.

Predicting? No need to predict.

Because in my eyes, you are already a dead person.

Whoosh!

The fully charged piercing arrow, accompanied by a piercing sound, traced a straight trajectory.

puff!

The arrow pierced Xia's chest precisely, taking away her last bit of health.

First Blood!

A blood!

"A solo kill! This is a pure lane-versus-lane kill!" Miller shouted excitedly. "When Lee Sin came to gank, Xiao Yan not only didn't run away, but instead flashed in the opposite direction to engage and deal damage, dodging two crucial skills and killing Hans Sama! That guts! That skill! Who dares to call him a noob now?!"

There was a momentary vacuum in the comments section, followed by a screen full of "666" and "???".

[Holy crap? This movement is scripted, isn't it?]

[Can Lee Sin even twist his Q at point-blank range?]

[That reverse flash was too confident; if it had gone wrong, it would have been a free kill!]

However, this was only the beginning of the nightmare.

With the advantage in hand, Varus completely took over the game.

Upon returning home, Xiao Yan immediately pulled out attack speed boots and a recurve bow. When he logged back in, his aura had completely changed.

If the previous Ice was a ruthless commander, then the current Varus is a tyrannical executioner.

8 minutes later, we reached level 6.

MSF refused to give up, and their mid-laner Ryze used his ultimate along with Shen's ultimate to gank two opponents!

"Five people arrested! MSF has gone mad! They're willing to do anything to kill Xiao Yan!" Wawa exclaimed.

Facing a five-man gank, Wolf's hands were trembling: "It's over, it's over, we're doomed."

"Don't panic."

Xiao Yan's voice remained calm, even carrying a hint of excitement.

"Wolf, use your ultimate to knock away Lee Sin and Shen, leave the rest to me."

The moment Ryze's ultimate portal landed, Xiao Yan moved.

R skill: Chains of Corruption!

But he didn't bind Ryze who had landed; he predicted Rakan's entry position!

Ignar's Rakan was about to R-flash into the fray to initiate a team fight when he was suddenly bound by these vines and couldn't move!

Immediately afterwards, the chain of corruption spread to the surrounding area, directly infecting the blind monk next to him!

"blow!"

Wolf's Janna activates her ultimate, "Revival Monsoon," which knocks away Shen and Lee Sin who attempt to engage.

Although MSF had more players, their formation was completely disrupted by this ultimate ability and Janna's whirlwind!

Ryze landed, only to find that his teammates couldn't keep up!

"Now is the time to hunt."

Xiao Yan activated the active effect of W [Withered Quiver], and the longbow in his hand transformed into the scythe of death.

Flat A, flat A, E!

Ryze instantly lost half his health!

PowerOfEvil tried to run, but Varus's red buff slowed him down, making it impossible for him to move.

At this moment, Peanut's Jarvan IV and Faker's Orianna finally arrived.

The prince's ultimate skill covered three people, and Orianna's ultimate skill pulled in three more!

boom!

The terrifying AOE damage exploded instantly.

Xiao Yan's Varus was like an elegant dancer, unleashing devastating attacks from the edge of the chaotic battlefield. Every move he made was precise to the millisecond, and every skill he unleashed detonated the Wither stacks at just the right moment.

Triple Kill!

Triple kill!

MSF's five-man gank on two ended up being a 0-for-4 exchange for SKT!

"It's blown! MSF is completely blown!" Miller shook his head, his tone full of sympathy for MSF. "They tried to target Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan used his skills to completely crush them! That counterattack was simply art!"

The following matches turned into a complete solo show for Xiao Yan.

At 15 minutes, the item build includes Blade of the Ruined King, Runaan's Hurricane, and Berserker's Greaves.

With this equipment, Varus is invincible at this point in time.

A team fight broke out in the mid lane.

Xiao Yan stood behind Faker, unleashing a barrage of attacks using his extremely long range and the split arrows of the hurricane.

Shen, the front-line tank of MSF, is as fragile as paper in the face of Varus's percentage-based damage.

Clap clap clap!

Once the withered layers are fully stacked, use Q skill to pierce the heart with an arrow!

Be careful not to fall.

The blind monk tried to kick Varus back, but Xiao Yan instantly countered with a quick Mercury strike, killing him with two arrows.

"That's too fast! That kiting is too fast!" Doll stared at the Varus on the screen, his movements twitching wildly, feeling like her eyes couldn't keep up. "How fast is that hand speed? 300? 400? Does he even stop?"

20 minutes later, the Baron Nashor spawned.

SKT directly attacked the dragon.

MSF was forced to join the group.

This time, Xiao Yan did not hide in the back.

He saw an opportunity.

A fleeting opportunity.

In the MSF game, Xayah and Ryze, who were playing as carries, briefly overlapped in their positions while clearing wards.

"Look at me!"

Without any warning, Xiao Yan's Verus suddenly launched an attack!

For die-hard fans of the invincible Demon King F, the latest chapter of "LPL Doesn't Want Me? I Joined SKT Instead!" has been released!
