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

The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 84, The Royal Miscellanea's Carnival! We look forward to your visit.

Miller's mouth gaped open in an "O" shape, unable to close it for a long time: "This...you killed him already? A level 2 gank top? Is Peanut serious this game? And that damage...is Kalista's early game burst damage really that high?"

The replay on the big screen provided the answer.

In the scene, Xiao Yan's Kalista moves like a nimble swift, weaving between the minion waves. With each basic attack, he uses the momentum to slide to the side, a passive skill known as "Martial Arts Stance" that Xiao Yan utilizes to its fullest potential.

Impact's Shen was as clumsy as a sandbag. His Q skill, Soul Blade, missed, and his E skill, Taunt, didn't have enough range. He could only watch helplessly as his body was covered in green spears.

Peanut's Ezreal emerged from the bushes like a ghost, stuck to the red buff, and accurately predicted Shen's movement with his Q skill.

With the final E skill "Tear," accompanied by the crisp sound of the spear being pulled out, Shen's health bar was instantly emptied.

"This isn't a top lane matchup, it's like being slowly sliced ​​to death!" PDD gasped. "Impact's really having a tough time this game. Shen is most afraid of long-range champions like this who can kite you endlessly. And this is a Kalista with Hail of Blades, her burst damage is just too high!"

At this moment, at RNG's training base.

Uzi stared intently at the screen, his grip on the mouse clicking loudly. Ming, sitting next to him, swallowed hard. "Uzi, this... SKT looks like they can win this game?"

"Win my ass!" Uzi cursed, but a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes. "This lineup has too low a margin for error. If two of us get caught by Jarvan IV, or if we get taunted by Shen, we're doomed. This is just the early game; you'll see in team fights."

However, the development of the situation once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

After opening a gap in the top lane, SKT didn't start "happily feeding" like they did in the previous game, but instead demonstrated a suffocating ability to snowball.

Then Faker's Master Yi suddenly launched an attack in the mid lane.

Jensen's Syndra, relying on her long range, tried to suppress Master Yi's last-hitting.

The Sword Saint transformed into a blur, instantly dodging Syndra's push of the Weakling Swarm with his Q skill, "Alpha Strike." The moment he landed, he swung his twin blades, triggering his passive, Double Strike.

Jensen was shocked and quickly used Flash.

But Faker didn't pursue them further; instead, he turned and went into C9's jungle.

"Where is Faker going? To find the prince?" Wawa exclaimed.

In the jungle, Contractz's Jarvan IV was farming the F6 camp. Suddenly, a yellow light flashed (EZ's ultimate), followed by a mad dog wielding a longsword and a blond-haired guy jumping out.

Peanut's Ezreal, though a jungler, was extremely farmed, and his Q skill hurt Jarvan IV badly. Combined with Master Yi's damage, Jarvan IV didn't even have time to use his EQ combo before being hacked to death in his own jungle.

"This...this jungle is in chaos too!" Miller shook his head in disbelief. "SKT isn't a five-core lineup, they're practically five bandits! They're killing everything in their path!"

At this point, the style of play in the bottom lane was even more unique.

Bang's Ziggs and Wolf's Miss Fortune won't even bother laning against you.

As soon as the minion wave arrived, Ziggs unleashed his QQE combo, instantly obliterating the wave. Miss Fortune, meanwhile, relentlessly unleashed her E skill, "Gunfire," from behind, much to everyone's annoyance.

C9's bot lane duo, Tristana and Lulu, were bombarded with attacks, their health packs under the tower were long gone, and their health remained below half for most of the time.

"This game can be played like this?" C9's AD Sneaky looked at his turret, now riddled with craters from the bombs, and was starting to lose his composure. "This Bomber is pushing turrets way too fast!"

The game has been going on for ten minutes.

Bad news came from the road.

Impact's Shen was solo killed under the tower.

There was no jungle assistance whatsoever; it was pure individual skill that completely overwhelmed the opponent.

Xiao Yan's Kalista had already crafted a small component of Blade of the Ruined King. Utilizing the active slow effect, she managed to turn a full-health Shen into a pincushion right at the edge of the tower's attack range.

With a final pull of the spear, he confidently turned back.

Shen lay dead beneath the tower, his body riddled with spears, as if telling the tragic story of this game.

"Solo kill! Another solo kill!" Miller roared excitedly. "Xiao Yan! He used his Kalista shoes to completely dominate Impact, the S3 World Champion top laner! That positioning, that kiting, it's simply art!"

The trend of comments shifted instantly.

Holy crap! These skateboard shoes are something else!

[SKT, I was wrong! I shouldn't have accused you of throwing the game!]

This isn't acting, this is stomping on noobs!

[Impact: Who am I? Where am I? Why is my screen black?]

[RNG fans, stand up! Kneel before Xiao Yan!]

However, C9 is a powerhouse in North America, and they did not give up.

Fifteen minutes later, the second dragon spawned.

C9 assembled their five players, preparing for a desperate last stand. They knew that if the game dragged on any longer, allowing these five squishy heroes to complete their builds, their damage output would be incomprehensible.

"C9 is about to make a move on the dragon! This is their chance!" PDD analyzed. "SKT's lineup doesn't have a frontline. If Jarvan IV can trap two or three, Shen can follow up with his taunt, and Syndra can unleash her ultimate. SKT will melt instantly."

The SKT team also arrived at the Dragon Pit.

The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Suddenly, C9's Prince made a move!

Contractz capitalized on a positioning mistake by Bang, using his EQ combo to knock up the Ziggs, followed by his ultimate, Cataclysm!

"They've got it! The Prince has caught the Ziggs! Shen's ultimate is on the Prince! SKT is going to explode this wave!" Wawa shouted.

Without their main AP damage dealer, SKT seems to be in dire straits.

Shen landed and used his E-flash to taunt Faker's Master Yi!

"It's over! Faker's been CC'd! He's going to get instantly killed!"

Just when all RNG fans were feeling disheartened, a green figure appeared on the battlefield like a ghost.

It's Xiao Yan!

He ignored the prince and Shen in front of him, and instead used his passive slide to jump directly into the back row of C9!

"What is he doing? Is he going to take on three people at once?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan only had eyes for the person in the center position opposite him.

The Broken Blade absorbs a small cannon shot, causing its attack speed to surge.

Basic attack, jump. Basic attack, jump.

Sneaky's Tristana tried to use her W skill to jump away, but Xiao Yan predicted her landing point and used his Q skill, spear, to pierce through her and pin her to the ground.

Lulu casts her ultimate ability on Tristana, making her bigger, in an attempt to counterattack.

But Xiao Yan's Kalista is too agile!

He was like a sprite dancing on a knife's edge, each movement perfectly dodging Tristana's basic attack projectiles and Lulu's Q skill.

Meanwhile, changes also occurred on the front lines of the battlefield.

Faker may be mocked, but he is a Master Yi built with semi-tank items!

Wolf's Miss Fortune activated her ultimate ability, "Bullet Time," and amidst laughter, tons of bullets rained down on the C9 players who were trapped by Jarvan IV's ultimate.

Although no kills were achieved, the health of C9's front line was significantly reduced.

Faker wakes up, unleashes his ultimate move, and activates his Highland Bloodline Mad Dog Mode!

The Q skill, Alpha Strike, finishes off the low-health Jarvan IV and refreshes the skill's cooldown.

Then, he turned his gaze to Shen.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan had already completed his hunt.

The little cannon, piled high with spears, was torn apart and killed by Xiao Yan's E skill in despair. Lulu tried to run, but was impaled and killed by Xiao Yan's Q skill after being covered in spears.

Double kill!

At this moment, Xiao Yan's health was reduced to only one-third.

But instead of retreating, he turned around and targeted the remaining Syndra.

Jensen panicked.

He had used up all his skills, and faced with this monster covered in spears that hopped around, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Penta Kill?"

I don't know who shouted that in the voice chat.

Faker, who was about to finish off Shen, stopped abruptly when he heard those words.

"Give it to him," Faker said calmly.

Peanut's Ezreal also stopped dealing damage, only posting emotes and brandishing his badge on the sidelines.

Xiao Yan understood immediately.

Slide, basic attack, slide, basic attack.

Be careful not to fall.

Triple kill!

Syndra tried to escape back to the tower, but Xiao Yan flashed after her and took her down with a critical hit.

Quadra kill!

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

"Pentakill! Pentakill! Is there a pentakill?!" Miller roared hoarsely.

At this point, C9 only had one prince left, who was in grave danger.

As the final "tearing" sound effect rang out.

Penta Kill!

Pentakill!

The audience was stunned!

The words "Pentakill" in red stained the big screen like blood.

At this moment, the entire Wuhan Sports Center completely exploded!

"Pentakill! Xiao Yan! Kalista top lane! He got a pentakill on the world stage!" Miller shouted until his voice was hoarse. "What kind of incredible feat is this? What kind of individual skill is this? SKT isn't a circus troupe, they're a special forces unit!"

"That's incredible...it's really incredible." The doll slumped in the chair, looking dazed. "I've never seen such smooth skateboarding shoes before. He's treating Summoner's Rift like his own ice rink."

RNG fans are going crazy.

[Dad! SKT is my real dad!]

[Xiao Yan is awesome! From now on, anyone who dares to criticize Xiao Yan is messing with me!]

This pentakill is a gift to RNG!

[Impact: This game is too hard, I want to go home.]

This isn't a competition; it's practically Xiao Yan's personal showcase!

After this team fight, C9 completely collapsed.

SKT's "five-core" lineup is now fully formed.

The Master Yi was hacking and slashing like a mad dog, Ezreal was spamming Qs from behind, Ziggs was throwing bombs, and Miss Fortune was using her ultimate to wipe out the ground.

But the most terrifying one is Kalista.

No one can leave alive once they've entered his field of vision.

"This is it! This is what you call overwhelming force!" Wawa excitedly slapped the table, his smile brighter than during the New Year. "What's strategy or tactics? They're all meaningless in the face of absolute individual skill! SKT's five-core lineup is overflowing with damage. C9's defense is as flimsy as paper."

Miller couldn't hide his excitement either, pushing up his glasses: "Indeed, the economic lead has now reached 5,000 gold. Most importantly, all five players on SKT are equipped too well. Faker's Master Yi has Guinsoo's Rageblade, and Xiao Yan's Kalista has Blade of the Ruined King and Runaan's Hurricane. These two are practically devastating in terms of combat power right now. On the other hand, C9, apart from Sneaky's Tristana who's barely passable, the rest of them have basically disconnected."

The atmosphere in RNG's rest area eased up a bit.

Ming let out a long sigh of relief, unscrewed the bottle of mineral water, and took a big gulp: "That scared me to death! I thought I was going to have to do sit-ups again. It seems Xiao Yan is a really good friend; he's got a strong patron."

Only Uzi's sharp eyes remained fixed on the screen, his brows furrowing even more deeply instead of relaxing.

"We haven't won yet." Uzi's voice was somewhat low, sounding particularly abrupt in the noisy room.

"Huh? Dog Bro, you still haven't won? You're treating them like bots." Letme asked, somewhat puzzled.

Uzi pointed to the time in the bottom right corner of the screen, then to the item bar on C9's support player, his tone grave: "Twenty minutes have passed. Baron Nashor has spawned. And look at Lulu's items."

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.

In that inconspicuous equipment slot, an incense burner emitting an eerie purplish-red light lay quietly.

"The incense burner is finished..." Uzi took a deep breath, "and Tristana has an Infinity Edge. This game has only just begun."

……

Inside the canyon, the weather suddenly changed.

The twenty-minute mark seemed like a curse.

C9, who had been struggling under SKT's pressure, suddenly seemed like a completely different team. Instead of huddling under their towers, they grouped up and walked out of their high ground, heading straight for the Baron pit.

Their formation was maintained extremely well.

Impact's Shen was at the forefront, Contractz's Jarvan IV roamed the flanks, Jensen's Syndra and Sneaky's Tristana were tightly protected in the middle, and Smoothie's Lulu followed Tristana like a bodyguard.

"C9 wants to take Baron?" Miller was a little surprised. "Isn't that a bit too bold? With their current equipment, they're not that fast at taking down Baron, and SKT is nearby. If they get surrounded, it'll be a game-ending game."

"They might be trying to force a team fight," PDD analyzed. "C9 knows they'll lose if they drag this out, so they have to gamble. But SKT's lineup... wait, SKT seems a bit overconfident!"

In the footage, SKT's positioning was indeed somewhat aggressive.

Faker's Master Yi activated his ultimate for speed, attempting to flank and find an opportunity to cut down the enemy carry. Peanut's Ezreal poked relentlessly from the side, while Xiao Yan's Kalista used her passive to jump around from the front, trying to find an angle to initiate a team fight.

"Don't rush! Don't rush!" The doll glanced at Faker's position, its heart skipping a beat. "The Master Yi position is a bit out of place! Shen is watching him!"

Just then, C9 made its move.

But it wasn't Shen who made the move; it was the prince on the flank who hadn't shown himself yet!

He remained crouched in the river bushes, watching the SKT players step into the trap step by step.

The moment Bang's Ziggs and Wolf's Miss Fortune moved slightly forward, intending to use their abilities to whittle down Tristana's health.

Dragon crashes!

The prince's figure shot through the bodies of the bomber and the gunslinger like an arrow, instantly lifting them both high into the air!

"Two of them are knocked away! The Prince's EQ combo knocked up SKT's bot lane duo!" Miller's exclamation rang out instantly.

But this is only the beginning.

Crashed!

Without hesitation, Contractz used his ultimate to trap Bang and Wolf the instant it landed, and even Faker, who was slightly closer, was caught off guard by the edge of the terrain.

"Demacia!!!"

With a roar from the prince, the earth and rocks crumbled, and a circular prison rose from the ground.
