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

"How am I supposed to play like this?" Uzi's mentality completely collapsed as he looked at the heavily equipped Draven on the opposing team. "The jungler and mid laner keep ganking, how am I supposed to lane? Huh? Where are my teammates? Xiaohu, what are you doing? Xiangguo, what are you doing?"

He began to habitually complain about his teammates, trying to vent his inner sense of powerlessness in this way.

But he knew in his heart that this move wasn't just about addressing the problem.

Even in a 1v1 situation, he felt immense pressure.

The oppressive feeling of being hit by the axe no matter how he moved reminded him of the fear he felt when facing Faker at his peak.

This time, however, the source of his fear was Xiao Yan, whom he had always looked down upon.

In the mid lane, Xiaohu was pinned under the tower by Faker and was trembling with fear, unable to provide any support.

In the top lane, Letme's Maokai was still alive, but he could only watch Huni's Gnar control the lane and farm, and he didn't dare to use Teleport.

SKT is thriving across the board.

The match has been going on for 15 minutes.

SKT is already 5,000 gold ahead.

Three thousand of them were on Xiao Yan's Draven.

"RNG can only stall now. If they can stall until Vayne gets her three core items, maybe they'll still have a chance." Miller's voice grew softer and softer, and even he himself didn't quite believe what he was saying.

But will Xiao Yan give them a chance to stall?

Obviously not.

17 minutes in, SKT gathers the Rift Herald.

RNG was forced to accept the team fight.

"Activate! Can we activate it?!" Uzi shouted in the voice chat, "I have Blade of the Ruined King! We can fight!"

Mlxg gritted his teeth, used his Prince's EQ combo to knock up Gragas, and then used his ultimate [Cataclysm] to cover three people!

"Good! Xiangguo got three!" the baby shouted. "Xiaohu, push the ball! Can you stun Draven?"

Xiaohu pushed out Syndra's QE combo.

Meanwhile, Peanut's Gragas attempted an E-Flash counter-attack but was blocked by Mlxg's ultimate.

RNG's goal is clear: eliminate Draven instantly!

As long as Draven dies, SKT has no damage output!

However, at that critical moment...

Faced with the oncoming chain of control, Xiao Yan's hand speed exploded to the extreme.

He didn't panic; instead, he calmly pressed the Flash button.

This Flash wasn't for escaping, but for adjusting the damage output position!

A flash of golden light!

Draven vanished into thin air and reappeared on the flank!

This flash perfectly avoided the damage from the Prince's ultimate, and also caused Xiaohu's fatal QE combo to miss!

"They dodged it! They all dodged it! Xiao Yan is like a slippery eel!"

Draven, with his W speed boost activated, moved through the enemy's territory with impunity.

The two axes flew up and down, each strike accompanied by terrifying critical hit numbers.

The prince, two blows, dead!

Syndra, two hits, low on health, ultimate finishes her off!

The tree tried to use its W ability to bind the enemy, but Draven interrupted it with his E ability. Two more hits later, it was dead!

This is a massacre.

A one-sided massacre.

Uzi's Vayne relentlessly attacked the front-line Gragas, but after a long time, Gragas only lost half his health.

Xiao Yan's Draven, on the other hand, cuts people down like slicing vegetables.

When only Uzi was left, he watched as Draven, at full health, stood on two axes, exuding a bloody aura, and approached him step by step.

He didn't run away.

Because there's no way to escape.

He chose to turn back and fight back.

This is Uzi's last vestige of dignity.

"Come on! Let's have a one-on-one!" Uzi roared, unleashing a flurry of skillful maneuvers—kiting, pinning against walls...

But he discovered in despair that even with his best skills, the damage difference was simply too great.

Draven only used two basic attacks.

The first hit was a critical strike, and Vayne lost half her health.

The second hit was a critical strike, and Vayne fell to the ground.

Simple, brutal, and unreasonable.

Quadra Kill!

Quadra kill!

The system's rousing voice resounded throughout the entire venue.

RNG fans fell silent.

The fans in the live stream fell silent.

The god they placed their hopes on, the man hailed as the world's best Vayne, was utterly crushed from start to finish by a rookie playing Draven, his signature champion.

There was no post-production.

There was no miracle.

Only the despair of being crushed.

Xiao Yan stood beside Vayne's corpse, neither flashing his trinkets nor dancing.

He simply returned to base quietly, as if he had just killed not Uzi, but an ordinary super minion.

That kind of indifference is more painful than any mockery.

In the commentary booth, Miller took off his glasses, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a dry voice:

"In this game... SKT displayed breathtaking dominance."

…………

The match is still ongoing.

As the massive void creature slammed into RNG's high ground tower, the already crumbling defense instantly collapsed.

"boom--"

Before the dust from the collapse of the Highland Tower had even settled, Xiao Yan's Draven had already sprinted up the rubble to reach the highland.

At this moment, he has Bloodthirster, Infinity Edge, Rapid Firecannon, Berserker's Greaves, and a Mercurial Sash.

At the 22-minute mark, this equipment was simply a game-changer.

"Give up... We can't defend it." Ming said desperately in the voice chat, watching Draven's terrifying damage of one-shotting a ranged minion.

RNG could only retreat to their nexus.

But SKT gave them no chance to breathe. Huni's Gnar, fueled by rage, flashed in with his E, unleashing a devastating palm strike that slammed Xiaohu and Letme, who were trying to clear the wave, against the wall!

"The team fight has started! SKT has started a team fight on the high ground!" Miller's voice was filled with a sense of tragedy.

There is no suspense.

Xiao Yan's Draven activated his W for speed, and his two axes, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, relentlessly reaped kills among RNG's players.

Two stabs, and Syndra falls to the ground.

Three cuts, and the tree turned into a dead log.

The prince attempted to knock Draven away with his EQ combo, but Xiao Yan effortlessly countered it with a Quicksilver Sash, then chopped him down with two axe blows.

In the end, only Uzi's Vayne remained.

He hid at the edge of the spring, watching the arrogant Draven, not daring to fire a single bolt from his silver crossbow.

Because he didn't know if Xiao Yan, that madman, would rush into the spring to kill him.

"Push the tower! Push the tower!" Faker calmly marked the crystal.

Amidst the teeth-grinding slicing sound of the double axes, RNG's main crystal shattered.

DEFEAT!

The bright red word "defeat" is branded into the hearts of every RNG fan like a branding iron.

The game ended at 22 minutes and 43 seconds.

This was a complete and utter crushing defeat, a speedrun with absolutely no chance of a comeback.

……

The Wuhan Sports Center was deathly silent.

The cheers and shouts they had prepared were now stuck in their throats. Tens of thousands of spectators stared blankly at the big screen, unable to believe that this was the all-Chinese team they had placed their hopes on, the world's best bot lane in their hearts.

However, the scene was quite different in the online live stream.

After a brief period of silence, the royalist supporters quickly began a large-scale self-hypnosis and a "blame-shifting meeting".

[It's okay, it's only the first game. Don't you know about coming back from 0-2 down to win 3-2? It's an old RNG tradition!]

[This draft was a complete mess! Why did they let Draven through? What was Feng doing?]

Honestly, this game has nothing to do with Uzi, right? The top, mid, and jungle were all doomed; how are they supposed to win?

[Exactly, Vayne is a champion who needs to farm; if her teammates can't survive to the late game, whose fault is it?]

[That big tree is ridiculous. Gnar turned it into a Muggle, and it didn't even use its teleport, just created a 'father' for it.]

Uzi did his best, really. This game was purely due to the team composition being countered, plus the enemy jungler constantly ganking bot lane.

Fans frantically searched for excuses, trying to prove that their god was still invincible, and that the loss was only due to "bad luck," "bad team composition," or "bad teammates." In their view, as long as the game dragged on to the late game, a fully equipped Uzi would definitely riddle Xiao Yan with bullets.

However, this optimism did not extend to RNG's rest area.
