Oh no, this boss bought all the champions!

Chapter 26: The Great Battle Begins, Draven vs. Zed

"It's Faker! Really? A two-time champion, participating in a solo tournament organized by an LSPL club owner?"

"How could it be fake? I've confirmed it. That player ID is Faker's Korean server ID, Hide on bush."

"Even Faker is here, he's such a big star!"

"I thought UZI, Clearlove, and Ruofeng had already reached their peak, but I never imagined the real big one would be on the last day!"

When netizens across various platforms heard that Faker was participating in the competition, everyone went wild.

The first day's battle between the factory manager and Ruofeng really heightened the anticipation of netizens, giving everyone a truly satisfying experience.

After everyone had their fill of food, they watched several days of King of Glory matches and enjoyed the streamers' antics, which was quite a treat.

Everyone thought it would be a smooth landing, but who would have thought there would be a big surprise at the end!

The bloodthirsty audience has gone completely mad.

Inside the SKT base.

"Sang-hyeok hyung, I heard you're going to play in some kind of solo tournament, and it's causing quite a stir."

Wolf has recently heard about the SOLO tournament in ranked games, and Bang mentioned it last time. Seeing that Faker hasn't been practicing solo or duo, he guesses that Faker is probably playing SOLO.

There's been quite a commotion in the fan groups lately, considering the scale of the promotion in the country.

It's quite difficult to keep it a secret.

Faker didn't seem to mind, shrugging. "It's not so bad. This solo tournament is quite fun, with lots of amazing guys."

"The competition over the past few days has been quite interesting. They'll definitely promote me after they find out about me, and it just so happens that their solo tournament is scheduled for that time, which will help me avoid the regular season."

"After all, it's just for fun, it won't affect the regular season."

People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. Faker isn't afraid of fame because he can handle it.

That is self-confidence.

Inside the IG base.

Upon hearing that Faker had actually arrived, several members of IG gathered around JKL's computer.

"Holy crap, he really is a fake!" Zita exclaimed, his eyes wide, and Kid next to him couldn't believe it either.

"Holy crap, my dad's here!"

"Wenbo, can you handle this? Do you want me to help?" Kid's grinning face had a slightly cheeky vibe.

Rookie confirmed that his opponent was indeed Faker, and quickly moved his gaming chair over and sat next to JKL.

"Draven, just go for it, don't be afraid!"

"AD carries have an advantage in solo matches."

As more and more people sat around him, the temperature around JKL gradually rose.

JKL was delighted and, following Rookie's advice, locked in Draven.

"Here it comes, brother's resolute gaze!"

"A master Draven!"

Seeing Draven make his move, Lin Kong stood up excitedly.

Others may not know, but he doesn't understand?

Draven, oh brother, that's amazing!

Seeing Lin Kong so excited, Wang Duoduo next to him looked completely bewildered, as he knew nothing about JKL.

None of the viewers in the live chat seemed to care about JKL's Draven.

The crowd cheered as the Demon King entered.

"The invisible blade is the most deadly!"

The Demon King's signature move, Zed strikes!

"They're here!!!"

"When the robbery happened, I was so scared that I burst into tears."

"Robbery!!"

"The god of assassination is here."

"FAKER!!! FAKER!!!"

Amidst a flurry of comments, Faker entered the arena the moment Zed was picked.

The barrage of comments exploded automatically, and the number of audience members at the scene quickly exceeded 50.

This far surpasses the previous battle between the factory manager and Ruofeng.

Without a doubt, everyone is waiting for Faker's debut.

The best mid laner in the world today, the S5 champion mid laner, and the captain of SKT!

Its appearance overshadowed all other brilliance.

Lin Kong couldn't get a word in edgewise, and then he joined in the excited shouting.

"Holy crap, the Demon King is about to unleash his fury!"

Wang Duoduo, who was standing next to Faker, started explaining the game, and the solo match officially began.

Draven vs. Zed!

Draven has a clear advantage in the early game when playing mid lane, and this is indeed the case.

Even Faker couldn't possibly use Zed to suppress a strong champion like Draven in the early game in the mid lane.

"Draven's early game pressure was incredibly aggressive. He came in with double axes to pressure and push forward. His playstyle was terrifying."

"Faker was also forced to retreat and can't touch the minions for the time being."

At level one, JKL was still not afraid of Faker's ID. Unlike the 26-year-old brother, the 16-year-old brother was full of vigor.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, let alone JKL, who is no calf.

It's a spinning top.

The axe in his hand was incredibly powerful when it spun. He reached level two and immediately activated W to forcefully suppress Faker, almost forcing him out of the experience zone.

"Faker? I'll kill you today!"

"Tomorrow, who in the world will not know me?"

JKL silently chanted in his mind, his operation and pressure were even better, pressing forward and forcing Faker to only Q minions from behind.

The other IG players were also watching intently; JKL's positioning was indeed excellent, perfectly positioned on the flank.

As long as Zed dares to take one step forward, he can deal Q damage, and then use W to pull back, thus avoiding much damage from minions.

JKL's gameplay is both rough and meticulous; he doesn't just randomly press the buttons.

The pressure on Faker didn't change until level three, when Zed learned QWE and truly demonstrated his ability to counter-attack.

"Our opponent is no pushover; they seem to have undergone professional training."

Faker could tell that JKL's control over the minion waves was definitely at a professional level.

Pull the ranged minions to control the minion wave's progress.

He didn't give himself any chance.

Even after reaching level three, Draven can only use WEQ to whittle down Draven's health, after which he will choose to return to base.

Buying a second Doran's Blade would give you even greater pressure.

"With Draven getting Doran's turn in the second game, Faker has to go home too."

"Otherwise, the period between levels 3 and 5 will be extremely difficult."

"Draven's pressure was excellent."

Lin Kong explained the situation to the audience, showing that Draven had the upper hand.

This surprised everyone in the live stream; this Draven player seemed to be quite skilled.

"Who is this Draven? He's playing a bit too well. He seems to be seeing Vincent's style."

"It's true, even Faker was completely overwhelmed. Although it's a long-range vs. short-range matchup, there aren't many Draven players with such perfect mechanics and positioning!"

"Look at level 6, Faker can definitely come back at level 6!"

The live chat was filled with heated debate, and the two sides were increasingly exchanging barbs.

Under JKL's gradual suppression, the equipment speed increased, and he suppressed Faker by more than 15 CS. In the third game, he got a Doran's Blade.

However, after Faker's Zed reached level six, JKL had no choice but to abandon his initial aggressive pressure as Zed leveled up.

With a burst of ultimate skill, there's a good chance to kill him instantly.

The offensive and defensive exchanges between the two sides subtly shifted from level six onwards, leaning towards Faker's side.

Until Faker made what seemed like a mistake, using up his W to land a very deep-positioned car.

"Chance!"

"Get him, get him!"

"An all-in!"

Encouraged by his IG teammates, JKL decisively attacked, focusing his fire with both axes and activating his W ability to push forward.

The axe struck Jie without pausing.

His movement was extremely smooth; he moved forward while simultaneously auto-attacking Zed.

"Could it be that Draven is going all-in to take down Faker?!"

"Is it possible?!"

"No way, the great demon king we've placed so much hope in is going to fall here."

Wang Duoduo also stood up, staring nervously at the screen.

The minion wave was right under JKL's tower. With Zed's W active, Draven chased after them, and danger was imminent.

Zed's health dropped to half quickly, but he had only just reached the river.

If Draven can land a perfect double QA combo followed by ER to finish off Zed, he can take him down!

"No way?"

"Holy crap, are we really going to do this?!"

"The Great Demon King is leaving."

"Holy crap, no way, no way, this Draven is too fierce!"

The viewers in the chat were stunned by JKL's sudden burst of energy; the pressure Draven exerted with his axe was simply terrifying.

Not to mention, JKL also had a Doran's Blade in the lead this time.

Victory is within reach.

For Faker, counter-attacking is the only option!
