Reborn in S14, crush the entire league!

Online discourse is always filled with diverse opinions, including praise and criticism.

Chen Xiao merely glanced at it indifferently, his face expressionless.

He's no longer the naive young man whose mindset would fluctuate because of external opinions.

His professional career in his previous life taught him a very simple truth: in esports, skill is everything.

Praise and doubt are both fleeting.

Only through victory after victory can you truly establish yourself on this stage.

"It's alright," Chen Xiao said calmly, withdrawing his gaze.

Xiao Tian was somewhat surprised to see that he didn't react much: "No, Chen Xiao, this is Chu Jun Aike! He rarely praises a newcomer like this! Aren't you excited?"

"What's there to be excited about?" Chen Xiao smiled.

"That's all in the past. There are more important things to do now!"

After saying that, he ignored the loud and boisterous Xiao Tian and turned his attention back to his computer screen.

The Korean client has been successfully logged in.

He is 287 points away from being number one in the Korean server.

There are only four days left.

He took a deep breath and clicked the button for solo ranked matches.

The vortex of public opinion is far less real than the fluctuations in Rank scores.

A crisp notification sound rang out, indicating a successful game match.

Chen Xiao entered the hero selection screen and habitually glanced at the IDs of both sides.

When his gaze fell on the ID of the opposing mid-laner, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Hide on the bush!

The moment Chen Xiao saw this ID, his heart skipped a beat.

Holy crap, Lee Sang-hyeok?

He subconsciously rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

It really is that man, the undisputed number one in the League of Legends world, Faker!

However, when Chen Xiao's gaze moved to the left following the ID and he saw the auxiliary icon, his tense nerves instantly relaxed.

Thank goodness, I was playing the support role.

If it were a mid-lane matchup, he'd actually be a bit intimidated.

It's not that I'm afraid of losing, but the pressure is too great.

Although Faker is already in his late twenties, making him a true veteran in the esports world, his performance is incredibly impressive. He even recently reached the top of the Korean server rankings, showing absolutely no intention of retiring.

A comical image even uncontrollably surfaced in Chen Xiao's mind:

Many years later, an old man with white hair walked shakily onto the competition stage, put on his reading glasses, and then slammed his hand on the keyboard, once again ending the LPL team's challenge.

In the post-match interview, he faced the camera and said in his signature calm tone, "This thirtieth S-series championship is dedicated to all the teams in the LPL!"

The thought of that scene sent a chill down Chen Xiao's spine.

No, we absolutely cannot let this happen!

LPL's popularity and attention have been declining year by year. If it continues to be dominated by LCK, it will be close to its demise.

In an instant, a strange sense of mission welled up in my heart.

To be able to return to the present, to personally challenge, and even to end, Faker's second dynasty...

Just thinking about it is fucking exciting!

Of course, these are things to follow.

Chen Xiao shook his head, trying to shake off these unrealistic fantasies.

The most urgent task is to improve our score!

Four days, a difference of nearly 300 points, every game was crucial.

……

T1 Training Base.

"Sang-hyeok hyung, what are we playing this game?" Oner asked, chewing gum as he leaned over to peek at Faker's screen.

Faker pushed up his glasses, his gaze sweeping across the champion list, finally settling on a champion whose entire body was wrapped in chains.

Thresh, the Chain Warden.

"Just playing around." Faker's tone was as calm as ever.

Just as he was about to lock onto a hero, he caught a glimpse of the enemy mid laner's ID out of the corner of his eye.

Rebirther.

The ID looked somewhat familiar to him.

"Oner, take a look at this Rebirth account. Isn't it that account with a high win rate lately?" Faker pointed to the screen.

Oner leaned over, examined it carefully, and then nodded.

"That's right, it's him, Sang-hyeok hyung."

"Recently, high-elo players on the Korean server have been talking about this person, and they've even given him a nickname: 'King of Last Hitting'."

"The king of last-hitting?" Faker became interested.

"Yes," Oner explained.

"This guy's playstyle is weird. His laning phase pressure isn't top-tier, but his farming ability is insane. No matter the situation, his CS is always the highest in the game, and he's way ahead of the second-place player!"

"They don't seem like ordinary random players. Their playstyle is too team-oriented. Maybe they're rookies or trainees from some team," Oner added.

Faker nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.

The King of Finishing Moves?

interesting.

……

The game has entered the loading screen.

Chen Xiao picked one of the heroes he was most confident in this game: Azir, the Emperor.

The opposing mid laner was a high-elo Korean solo queue player who picked LeBlanc.

Disadvantageous lane matchup.

Chen Xiao sat up straight and focused his attention.

Tsar does have a tough time laning against LeBlanc, but it's not like you can't make up for it with skill!

After a brief loading period, the game begins.

Chen Xiao, controlling the Tsar, came to the lane without any impatience, focusing intently on dealing with each minion.

His movements were incredibly fluid, as if every thrust of the sand soldiers was precisely calculated, and he could always control the soldiers' health just right to kill them.

The opposing LeBlanc player was clearly aware of Azir's early-game weakness and played with great pressure.

He would occasionally use W [Shadow Stalker] to step on Chen Xiao, trying to use Q and E to deplete Chen Xiao's health.

However, Chen Xiao's positioning was very tricky, always maintaining a distance that allowed the Demoness to step on him but made it difficult for her to reach him.

As the enchantress stepped forward, he dodged the chains with small, quick steps, then jabbed a sand soldier with his backhand before retreating.

It's exactly like the "Tai Chi fighting style"!

After several exchanges of health, the Demoness found that she had consumed a lot of mana but had not gained much advantage.

On the other hand, the enemy Tsar was healthy and managed to last-hit every creep!

-

Four and a half minutes have passed.

Chen Xiao initiated a push into the tower, preparing to last-hit minions under the tower.

LeBlanc seized another opportunity, using her W to stomp on the enemy's face, aiming to unleash a burst of damage!

But Chen Xiao was very focused and dodged LeBlanc's E with a small step, preventing the mark from being triggered.

On her way back, the Enchantress reacted too slowly and failed to stop the tower's attack, losing a quarter of her health in the process.

Seeing that the Demoness only had half her health, a glint flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes.

good chance!

He pressed W and E almost simultaneously, and a sand soldier appeared at LeBlanc's landing spot. Then, Azir's figure followed the sand soldier and drifted forward!

WE's second consecutive victory!

The LeBlanc player reacted extremely quickly, immediately using Flash to try and create distance.

He also realized that his health had reached the kill threshold!

But Chen Xiao's operation was faster.

During the drift, his finger was already tapping the flash button.

Immediately follow and flash!

The Tsar's figure followed closely, clinging tightly to the enchantress.

Use a basic attack, then follow up with the Q skill [Sandstorm Assault] to apply a slow effect.

He then dragged the sand soldiers to Shi Yaoji's side and stabbed them repeatedly.

Light it and hang it up!

A series of smooth and fluid operations were completed in the blink of an eye!

LeBlanc wanted to create distance, but she had already used Flash and W, and was also slowed down, so she couldn't create any distance at all!

He could only be relentlessly stabbed by the Tsar and his sand soldiers, and he fell unwillingly in front of the tower.

First Blood!

Solo kill!
