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

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Syndra's health bar instantly evaporated by more than half!

Jensen stared in horror. He never expected that, surrounded by four people, this weapon master not only survived but also killed a big tree and even dared to turn his knife on him, the center!

"He's gone mad! Help me! Give me a shield!" Jensen screamed hoarsely into the voice chat.

Smoothie's Janna reacted extremely quickly, immediately casting her E skill "Eye of the Storm" on Syndra, while simultaneously activating her ultimate "Revival Monsoon" in an attempt to use the gale to blow away the Jax who was right in front of her and restore Syndra's health.

However, Xiao Yan's killing intent was already made up.

Just as the Wind Maiden activated her ultimate skill and the gale was about to push the Weapon Master away, Xiao Yan's finger slammed heavily on the D key!

flash!

A golden light flashed, and the Jax, defying the knockback effect of Janna's ultimate, forcefully crossed that fatal distance and once again pressed himself against Syndra's face!

"My God! He flashed through Janna's ultimate! What kind of godlike reaction is that?!" On the commentary panel, Wawa's voice was completely hoarse. He held his head in his hands, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

The moment he landed, Xiao Yan gave Jensen no room to maneuver, unleashing a basic attack with the extra magic damage from the third hit of his ultimate passive, "Grandmaster's Might," slamming it into Syndra.

"Snapped!"

Even with Janna's shield and Syndra's healing, everything was as fragile as paper against a monster weapon that was three levels ahead of the rest of the game at fifteen minutes and wielded Trinity Force and Tiamat.

"Double Kill!"

Double kill!

The system's cold yet impassioned female voice resounded throughout Summoner's Rift!

"Killed him! Xiao Yan, surrounded by four people, first killed the tree, then slew Syndra! He got a double kill! My God, is he even human?!" Miller was trembling with excitement, pounding the commentary booth. "C9's formation has completely collapsed! The Prince and Janna are practically useless now; they have no way to deal with this half-health Jax!"

Contractz's prince was completely stunned. He looked at the fallen tree at his feet and Syndra's corpse, then at the weapon master wielding the lamppost like a god of war, and a deep sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

Fight? Fight with your head!

A poorly developed jungler Jarvan IV, paired with a support Janna, is just feeding to a Jax who has activated his ultimate and has ridiculously high resistances!

"Retreat! Retreat now!" Contractz shouted desperately in the voice chat.

The prince immediately used his EQ combo, attempting to escape this chaotic scene by passing through the wall. Janna also quickly cast a speed boost on herself and ran towards the base of the high ground tower without looking back.

Xiao Yan did not pursue the matter further.

Although he still has a third of his health left, the duration of his ultimate skill has ended. If he continues to chase and gets hit by the turret, he might be traded for the kill.

"Big Dragon".

Xiao Yan uttered two words calmly in the voice chat, and then, controlling the Weapon Master, smashed the bottom lane inhibitor crystal one blow at a time in front of the remaining two C9 players.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the map...

Peanut, Faker, Bang, and Wolf had already rushed down Baron Nashor without any hindrance the moment Xiao Yan distracted the four C9 players.

"roar--"

With a mournful howl from Baron Nashor, purple dragon blood bathed the four SKT players.

"Baron's taken! SKT took Baron without firing a shot!" PDD exclaimed excitedly, his face beaming. "What was this? This was Xiao Yan's solo show! He single-handedly held off four C9 players in the bottom lane, got two kills, pushed down the high ground, and even secured Baron for his teammates! This isn't a 4-1 split push, it's a 1-4 split push! Xiao Yan surrounded all four C9 players!"

The chat room was now completely flooded with comments, the dense text covering the entire screen like snowflakes.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Unfortunately, I'm uncultured; one "holy crap" is all I need!]

[This weapon master, I would call him a god! His skills, his courage, his awareness—it's utterly outrageous, fucking outrageous!]

[One against four, two kills, and escapes unscathed? Is this a competition? This looks like playing against bots in a bronze-level game!]

[Four members of C9 went to catch him, but two of them got killed instead. Their mentality completely collapsed.]

[Flame God! From today onwards, I'm a ten-year fan of Xiao Yan! Anyone who dares to slander him, I'll be the first to fight them to the death!]

[Once SKT's machine is equipped with Xiao Yan as its nuclear power engine, it's simply unstoppable!]

Amidst the overwhelming barrage of comments, there were also countless LPL viewers, especially Royal Never Give Up fans, cheering wildly.

[A comeback from 0-2 down to 3-2! A ...]

[SKT, kill them! Grind those C9 bastards to a pulp!]

[If SKT wins, RNG's qualification is guaranteed! Brother Xiao Yan, you're like a second parent to RNG!]

[Brother Li, hold on! Xiao Yan, charge! This game's in the bag! Keep playing like this in the next game and smash C9's head!]

The game is at the 22nd minute.

With the Baron buff, SKT showcased their breathtaking operational capabilities as three-time world champions.

Xiao Yan's weapon master continued to split push in the bottom lane, and the super minions, combined with the minions strengthened by the Baron buff, surged towards C9's base like a tidal wave.

On the main battlefield, Faker's Orianna, Bang's Tristana, Peanut's Sejuani, and Wolf's Lulu gathered in the mid lane and steadily pushed forward.

C9 was simply unable to defend.

Go grab weapons? Four people went to grab them just now, and two of them were killed. Now the weapons and equipment are even better; sending any more people would just be suicide.

Defend the mid lane? SKT's range is too long. Orianna's puppet hovers in front of the turret like a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment. Who dares to go up and clear the minions? Tristana is even more unscrupulous in using her long range advantage to attack the turret.

Just two minutes later, the central high ground was breached.

Immediately afterwards, SKT switched to the top lane and, using the same tactic, destroyed the top lane inhibitor.

All three high ground towers were destroyed, and super minions gathered in front of C9's inhibitor turret.

"It's over." Wawa let out a long sigh of relief, his tone filled with shock and awe. "In twenty-four minutes, SKT effortlessly pushed down C9's base. This match was a complete one-sided massacre."

"Yes, from the moment Xiao Yan exerted absolute dominance in the top lane at the eight-minute mark, the course of this game was already set." Miller nodded, his eyes fixed on the Weapon Master on the screen, whose score ultimately settled at 7-0-2. "Xiao Yan's performance was perfect. He not only crushed Impact in lane, but also put unbearable pressure on C9 in the mid-to-late game split push. This game's MVP is well-deserved."

"Let's congratulate SKT on winning a game! The score is now 1-2!" PDD announced loudly.

……

After a short break, the draft phase of the fourth game officially began.

"Alright viewers, we're about to bring you the fourth game of the SKT vs. C9 match!" Wawa's voice regained its high-pitched tone. "The score is currently 1-2. SKT displayed terrifying dominance in the last game. I wonder what adjustments C9 will make in this game?"

"I think C9's biggest headache right now is how to deal with Xiao Yan," Miller analyzed. "The Weapon Master in the last game really blew C9's mind. In the draft phase, C9 must give the top lane enough respect."

As expected, C9's first three bans were for Jax, Camille, and Jayce!

All three are warrior heroes with extremely aggressive and split-pushing abilities!

"Wow! Three bans on the top lane!" PDD exclaimed. "C9 is really scared! They'd rather let Faker's Galio and Peanut's Lee Sin go, just to shut down Xiao Yan's signature champion! This treatment, tsk tsk tsk, they're practically treating Xiao Yan like their father!"

On SKT's side of the competition stand.

Coach KkOma, holding a notebook, stood behind Xiao Yan, watching C9's bans, a relaxed smile playing on his lips.

There was no tactical plan at all, because they didn't care about winning or losing, so there was no need to take it seriously.

As both teams finalized their lineups, the stadium erupted once again when SKT revealed their final champion pick!

"I crave worthy opponents!"

Accompanied by a clear and proud line, a female hero wielding a rapier and with an elegant figure appeared on the big screen.

Fiora, the Grand Duelist!

"Fiora! Xiao Yan picked Fiora!" Wawa shouted excitedly. "With Jax banned, Xiao Yan has once again chosen a champion who can split push to death! Moreover, Fiora has an extremely high skill ceiling; once she gains an advantage in lane, her snowballing ability is even more terrifying than Jax's!"

"C9's top laner, Impact, has picked Cho'Gath," Miller analyzed with a frown. "Cho'Gath is indeed very tanky this patch, and he has a silence and a knock-up, making him very strong at ganking with the jungler. However, Cho'Gath has a very difficult time against Fiora. Fiora's Q skill can flexibly dodge Cho'Gath's Q, and her W skill, 'Laurent's Eye,' can perfectly block any of Cho'Gath's crowd control, and even stun him. In this laning phase, Impact will still be under immense pressure."

The lineups for both sides have been finalized:

Blue side C9: Top lane Cho'Gath, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Syndra, Bot lane Xayah + Rakan.

Red side SKT: Top lane Fiora, Jungle Jarvan IV, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane Twitch + Janna.

"The match begins!"

The fourth game officially began amidst deafening cheers from the audience.

Upon going online, Xiao Yan displayed extremely aggressive behavior.

The core mechanic of the champion Fiora lies in exploiting the "weak points" on the enemy.

Xiao Yan's ability to predict and pinpoint the patterns and locations of weaknesses was simply outrageous.

As soon as level 1 was activated, the big bug was about to step forward and finish off a melee minion.

Xiao Yan's Fiora glided forward like a ghost, and her Q skill "Sky-Piercing Slash" accurately hit the giant Cho'Gath's side vulnerability. Not only did it take away a chunk of his health, but it also used the speed boost from breaking the vulnerability to quickly create distance, causing the giant Cho'Gath's basic attack to miss.

"So fast!" Impact's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Sword Maiden was strong at level one, but he didn't expect Xiao Yan to control the distance so precisely. If he was a fraction too far, he would be focused by minions; if he was a fraction too short, he wouldn't be able to find any openings. It was as if he was measuring with a ruler.

At level two, Xiao Yan learned the E skill "Deadly Consecutive Thrusts".

The big bug, relying on its thick skin, wanted to use its Q skill "Rupture" to harass Fiora.

But the moment the giant bug raised its foot, Xiao Yan's swordswoman moved again.

Instead of retreating, he used his Q skill directly, not only perfectly escaping the range of Cho'Gath's Q skill, but also dashing back to Cho'Gath's face, breaking through the opening in front!

Immediately afterwards, activate E skill, and reset basic attack with a basic attack. The first hit slows the target, and the second hit is a guaranteed critical hit!

"Swish! Swish!"

With two sword strikes, the giant worm's health dropped to below half!

"This Fiora's poke is unstoppable!" PDD looked at the screen and shook his head repeatedly. "Impact can't even touch Xiao Yan's clothes; he can only passively take hits. This Cho'Gath's early-game physique is like a squishy champion in front of Fiora."

Level 3 is a turning point for Fiora, and also the most dangerous moment for Cho'Gath.

Because Fiora has her W skill, Laurent's Mind's Eye.

Impact knew this well, so he played extremely cautiously, preferring to miss minions rather than venture out of the turret's protection zone. He even called for his jungler, Sejuani, to help clear the lane via voice chat.

However, Xiao Yan's murderous intent was even stronger than he had imagined.

At four and a half minutes, Xiao Yan had the minion wave firmly blocked in the river near SKT's side. To gain experience, the Cho'Gath had to cautiously take two steps forward.

In that very instant.

Xiao Yan made a move.

Without warning, Fiora used her Q skill and dashed right into Cho'Gath's face.

Impact was shocked and instinctively used his W skill "Wild Scream" to try and silence Fiora, then followed up with his Q skill to knock her up.

But just as the giant worm opened its blood-red maw...

A dazzling sword light flashed in front of the Sword Maiden!

"Laurent's Heart-Piercing Strike!"

"Ding!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out as Fiora's W skill perfectly blocked Cho'Gath's silence, and the sword energy retaliated, not only slowing down Cho'Gath but also reducing his attack speed!

"Blocked! Xiao Yan's reaction was too fast!" the doll shouted.

The moment he successfully blocked the attack, Xiao Yan didn't hesitate at all. He immediately activated his E skill and started relentlessly attacking the giant bug.

The giant bug's health plummeted, forcing it to use Flash to escape under the tower.

"Trying to run away?"

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. Almost at the same time that the giant insect used Flash, his finger pressed the D key.

Follow me!

Fiora, like a leech, clung to Cho'Gath's face once more, unleashing a basic attack with a second critical strike from her E skill, piercing Cho'Gath's heart!

"First Blood!"

A blood is born!

Solo kill!

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

"Solo kill! Another solo kill!" Miller jumped up excitedly. "At four and a half minutes, Xiao Yan solo killed Impact in the top lane! His mastery of Fiora, his control of the details, is terrifying! His W skill perfectly blocked Cho'Gath's silence, and then he flashed again—a series of fluid maneuvers that completely melted Impact!"

"Impact has already disconnected this game," PDD asserted. "A champion like Cho'Gath, once he dies in the early game, becomes an isolated island against a snowballing champion like Fiora. Sejuani doesn't even dare to look at the top lane now; going there would only result in a double kill."

As PDD said.

After securing the first blood, Xiao Yan recalled to base and immediately acquired two longswords and a pair of straw sandals. Once back in lane, he completely took over the top lane match.

He not only controlled the minion wave tightly, preventing Cho'Gath from even getting any experience, but also frequently crossed the minion wave to suppress Cho'Gath's health.

Eight minutes in, the big bug was trying to eat a cannon minion under the tower.
