My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 146 Men are boys until they die!
now.

Any viewer with a basic understanding of esports can tell from the lineup and the current situation that T1 is on the brink of defeat. The reason why we dare not guarantee which side will win is simply because the disadvantaged side is T1.

Yes.

As long as it remains T1, no one will think T1 has lost until its main crystal actually explodes.

This is the kind of pressure that the three-time world champions exert on the LPL region in international competitions.

"Don't give them a chance to place an order."

"As long as we control the second Rift Herald steadily, we've already won 70% of the game. The most important thing is to be careful of T1's mid and jungle."

"Faker and Oner are the true soul that kept T1 going in MSI."

Even with the advantage in hand.

The V5 team was still quite wary of T1.

Xiao Yan and PPGOD nodded seriously, and Luo Ji, needless to say, always kept himself in a relatively safe position.

He knew that if T1 wanted to take the Vanguard position, they would have to eliminate one of their players.

And myself.

Without a doubt, it's the one most likely to be caught out.

With this thought.

The rhythm also changed quickly.

I thought that after getting an elemental dragon, the elemental dragon would continue to control T1, but it strangely released the dragon.

If you release the dragon, then Kassadin will definitely want it.

however.

Taking advantage of V5's dragon takeover, T1 acted quickly. With the enemy jungler missing a jungler, Oner began to assist his bot lane duo in pushing the lane. After freeing up Keria, he pulled him along to invade the river and jungle to set up vision.

T1, as always, is using jungle resources to gain lane control.

"The ambush has begun."

off the field.

Nofe watched T1's actions without changing his expression. This scene had occurred during their tactical rehearsals, so he wasn't worried that his team members would fall for it.

The line is fine, we'll give it up. The vanguard team won't be respawning that quickly.

The reason T1 did this was simply to find ways to create opportunities to place orders.

as predicted.

The moment Karsa finished securing the dragon and started cooperating with PPGOD to contest vision again, Luo Ji on the side lane naturally became the most tempting prey.

Luo Ji also understood it very well.

Seeing the jungler and support clearing wards in the other half of the map, he simply stopped farming minions and strictly followed the half-map principle, staying near his own second tower.

“So stable.”

"This kid is 18 years old?"

The T1 team members were also furious at Luo Ji's actions. You already have such a big advantage, why are you unwilling to give up even the slightest chance?

“Yoqi (Zeus), if you sell it…” Keria struggled to find the right words.

“He won’t fall for it,” Zeus said decisively.

"Then sell it deeper?"

"That would be like a street brawl, and the final result would only be that it's a 50/50 fight between me and him."

"Ok?"

The T1 team instantly perked up.

Hajizo, even though your experience and equipment are slightly inferior to the opponent's, you can still burn yourself and perish together with the opponent?

I'm deeply moved.

Then, a voice, tinged with a faint sense of death, continued to speak:

"Simply put, he's afraid of me, and I'm afraid of him. He's afraid of killing me with one blow, and I'm afraid of being killed by him with one blow. To be honest, it's really nothing. If I go up and face him, he'll be kneeling in front of me in less than three seconds, pinching my philtrum and begging me not to die."

T1 members: ? ? ?
Camille's sneaky play has made it difficult for T1 to find a breakthrough opportunity for the time being, and at the same time, it has also slightly reduced the sense of urgency that V5 had just raised.

After PPGOD regained vision in the upper half of the map.

After finishing his errand, Karsa finally began his recall. The Rift Herald had a few dozen seconds left to respawn, which was more than enough time for him to recall, complete his equipment, and then come back out.

However.
What he didn't know was.

Even though the enemy's vision has been cleared, there's still a pair of eyes secretly watching his location from T1's side.

It was almost halfway through the return trip.

The river bushes connecting the mid lane were where Faker's Ahri suddenly used her ultimate from the blue side's jungle, flying directly into the bushes.

The professional arena and ranked matches are two completely different games.

In the RANK.

Random players tend to place wards in the bushes, not because they don't know there are better places to place wards, but because they don't want to put too much strain on themselves when playing ranked matches, so they just place them anywhere.

And in the professional arena.

For vision control on both sides of the mid lane, more often the vision will be placed outside the bushes, so that they can see both the river and the entrance to their own jungle.

Faker caught this detail.

After unleashing his ultimate ability, he slipped into the bushes connecting the mid lane to the river, completely catching Karsa completely off guard and without any vision of him.

side.

A [Foresight Modification] accessory from Little Lu Bu was suddenly created.

Casa: !!!
Almost instinctively, the veteran's experience told him that this move might go wrong.

But T1's movements were too fast.

The instant the vision revealed the recalling monkey, Ahri's E skill [Charm] was already accurately cast from the bush, successfully hitting the recalling Karsa.

R【Solar Flare】

Following closely behind was a powerful ultimate attack from the support hero Keria.

T1, the raid has started.

not good!

The moment Karsa saw that he had been successfully controlled, he frantically pressed the W skill key. However, T1 was not about to let go of this hard-won opportunity.
The fox and the sun goddess's control are almost perfectly coordinated.

PPGOD rushed forward immediately, and even Rookie controlled Lissandra to move forward. At this point, if the jungler died, the second Rift Herald would have to be given up.

This group has to be opened, whether we want to or not.

Zeus pressed TP.

On the contrary, although Luo Ji also had a Teleport, there was no suitable Teleport location at the moment. After thinking about it, he chose to come directly from the river.

front.

Little Lu Bu also used his E skill to block Xiao Yan's path.

Rookie reacted very quickly. After entering the fray immediately, his target was not T1's mid and support, but rather Oner's Blade of the Ruined King, who was not far away.

While Eternal Frost immobilized the Fox Spirit, it was also the successful use of Flash and ultimate abilities.

aside.

Knowing he couldn't escape, Kasa unleashed all his damage on Oner after regaining his freedom.

pity.

They have an outbreak.

However, the momentum was successfully disrupted by Little Lu Bu and the landing Gnar.

1 for 3
Thanks to PPGOD and Rookie's impulsive rescue efforts, V5 ended up losing even more money.

【It's Faker again!?】

The advantage gained through vision control was ultimately given away because of it; what a boomerang!

[This is Faker; a fleeting, one-of-a-kind opportunity. He seized it incredibly well this time.]

[He's made mistakes, he's fed, but he's never backed down. His key abilities are unmatched. This kind of game-breaking ability from a top professional player still sends chills down your spine no matter how many times you watch him play.]

Lee Sang-hyeok is in dire straits!!!
The moment Faker's huge advantage was forced back due to this vulnerability exploit, the entire live stream fell into a huge silence. On the other hand, the Busan audience erupted in a cacophony of celebration.

"This is Faker, this is T1."

off screen.

Uzbekistan's gaze was unusually grave.

As an opponent who has faced Faker in numerous international matches, he understands Faker's explosive potential in dire situations all too well.

"Camille didn't TP immediately either. Well, there weren't any good TP spots. It's better to save the TP and see if she can find some opportunities by split pushing later."

He also sighed.

The sudden use of charm didn't have a particularly dramatic impact on V5's rhythm, but it had a huge impact on V5's morale.

Even without junglers.

Even a single vanguard can be taken down quite quickly by four T1 players working together.

But oddly enough.

Despite the fact that it was already a 1-for-3 situation, Luo Ji's Blue Steel Shadow and Xiao Yan's Xayah still couldn't separate on the field.

even
Judging from their battle positions, there was a hint of frenzied fighting spirit in them.

"No way?"

Uz's eyes widened instantly, a bold idea popping into his mind. Reason told him that the idea was too shocking, but his emotions kept confirming that his feeling was right.

Despite the dire situation where only two players remained, V5 seemed determined to continue fighting!

The two people's actions.

Even the viewers with a god-like perspective couldn't be fooled, let alone the three old men currently in the fountain. PPGOD anxiously spoke up:

"Are you all crazy?"

Luo Ji shook his head, his expression calm.

"He's not crazy."

"After a 1-for-3 exchange, the enemy team has almost used up all their skills. Most importantly, we still have vision in the upper half of the map. They are in a hurry to get the Herald and haven't queued up yet. We have the advantage in skills and vision."

Xiao Yan remained silent.

He subconsciously followed Luo Ji to his side, sensing Luo Ji's restless desire.

There is no reason.

Just like their first collaboration in the Demacia Cup, as the AD carry, he only needed to follow orders and fire.

As for who will take command?

That's not his business.

"It's just a wave of pioneers. If we give up, we'll have another chance. If we really lose this game, we still have a fifth one. There's no need to put ourselves on the high ground of public opinion."

"Calm down. You've been LPL players for half a year now. Don't act like young kids and get carried away."

"Is it possible?"

The more they looked at the trio of springs, the more suspicious they became.

They had a rough idea of ​​Luo Ji's strategy. They knew that once the enemy team got the Vanguard, they would definitely return to base, upgrade their equipment, adjust their condition, and then bring vision before coming out again. This would allow T1 to continue playing their usual strategy of macro-management and lane rotation.

That was the opportunity Luo Ji wanted to seize.

Because they have vision everywhere in the top half of the map, they can see T1's recall through their vision. Theoretically, they only need to wait for one of them to successfully recall before Camille goes in, and the situation will be 2v3 or even 2v2, instead of 2v4.

But timing is too difficult.

This is T1.

Once they realize what's happening, not only will they be unable to turn the tide, but it will also be like throwing good money after bad, and they will be subjected to fierce criticism from countless viewers after the match.

These old guys don't care.

However, for young players, the post-match public pressure from impulsive actions that give away opportunities during world championships can easily crush them.

"Young punk?"

Luo Ji curled the corners of his lips, his eyes fixed intently on the riverbed.

at this time.

The howls of the Rift Herald have already echoed above the Rift.

Except for Zeus's Gnar, who didn't recall, almost all of T1's mid, bot, and support players chose to recall on the spot.

Watching this scene unfold.

Luo Ji and Xiao Yan were actually closer to the Dragon Pit.

You won't grow if you always hide behind the old. Just like Faker, he only gained the courage to face death after going through hardships.

“I understand the concern our seniors have for us, but I also hope they will not forget it.”

"Whether in reality or on the field."

"A man is a boy until he dies!"

"Qi Shen, let's go."
