My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 151 The First Strike of the Game: Stabbing Someone in the Team
The day before the start of the Summer Split.

V5's players have finally returned to the club one after another. Except for Rookie, who was delayed due to some family matters, everyone else registered on time.

But it's not a big problem.

If the main players are delayed in coming on, then substitute Xu Xiu will be able to play.

This wave.

This time, Elder Song was captured by the Soul Palace, and Xiao Yan happened to encounter Venerable Tianxiu (Little Xu Xiu) below Canaan Academy. Because Little Xu Xiu was currently in a soul state, he could only attach himself to Xiao Yan. Therefore, Venerable Tianxiu's strength was temporarily weakened, while Xiao Yan's power greatly increased. After Xiao Yan rebuilt Venerable Tianxiu's body, his strength would naturally return to its peak.
"Where did you go, Meng?"

As soon as he returned, Casa greeted Luo Ji.

With the mid-lane substitute confirmed, Karsa's jungle performance will inevitably be affected, so we have no choice but to find a new carry in advance.

The mid-jungle synergy is failing.

The collaboration between Ueno and Ueno should still be fine.

"Don't even mention it, I've been busy. You know the Holy Grail War is about to start, and I've been running around like a beast of burden lately."

Luo Ji casually tossed his luggage into a corner and collapsed onto the sofa.

Really.

If it weren't for the secretary who could please my eye and give me some freebies, the whole holiday would have been a boring and tedious trip.

It can only be said that the "Lüshi Chunqiu" is absolutely true; his bad habits were indeed the main reason why he loved life.

"Alright, you thought you were keeping it a secret? You've been hanging out with female students at the University of Australia, haven't you?" Casa laughed and threw a pillow at him.

"That's the secretary I hired for the new company, what are you thinking?" Luo Ji retorted.

Such a high-profile recruitment drive at the school was bound to be exposed online, but Luo Ji wasn't ashamed; he genuinely wasn't in a relationship.

Before winning the championship.

The virginity-granting skill will never be broken.

Xiao Yan remained silent, his face full of trust. In PPGOD's eyes, this guy already had a morbid level of trust in Luo Ji.

Even after seeing Luo Ji recruit people at the school and hire such a beautiful secretary, he was eager to follow suit.

But in the end, PPGOD persuaded me to give up.

Again.

Despite Luo Ji's constant boasting about his achievements, there are no "statistics" to back it up; it's all thanks to his skill and hard work.

But in the eyes of V5's players...

This thing exudes the word "numerical" from the inside out.

You can’t learn it, you really can’t learn it.

Back to gaming.

After MSI, the designers started to give the contestants in each major region a major makeover.

12.10 version.

The designers really did make version changes specifically for the LPL, after all, winning three MSI titles in four years is indeed a bit outrageous.

So Riot Games simply increased the durability of all heroes, that is, a comprehensive increase in armor, health, growth attributes, and magic resistance, while also increasing the attack power of turrets.

This is just the beginning.

This includes reducing healing output, shield value, omnipotent lifesteal, and grievous wounds.

in conclusion.

This improved the margin for error for heroes and those vulnerable to tower dives, forcing the game's pace to slow down significantly.

During this period.

The LCK, which had just started, even produced a legendary match where BRO and DK didn't see the first blood go until the 34th minute.

This version change has been released.

Most LPL teams were stunned because they were truly pure fighting teams, such as TES.

And V5 here.

Under Nofe's leadership, V5 also intends to adhere to the LPL system, which is based on fighting and promotes multiple operating methods. Finding a path that suits the LPL is a painful process, but it is also necessary for the great revival of the LPL region.

Ok.

As for how to keep up with the version and prevent others from falling behind, Nofe decided to launch the version researcher Luo Ji.

Don't worry about the mid, bot, jungle, and support; just focus on pushing the top lane.

Do whatever kind of cutting-edge technology you want, since even we ourselves don't understand this version, so let those who can understand it do it.

I was thinking that I hadn't started a live stream in a long time.

A new version is here.

Luo Ji then casually opened his own live stream.

But this is his live stream.

Countless online enthusiasts have finally found a base of operations.

First, look what I've discovered!

[You scoundrel, how dare you! You haven't streamed for over a week?!]

[Teacher Meng, the new version is here! Quickly find a way to easily climb the ranks; I'm completely lost with this version.]

[Is this version even worth studying? Just go for the four-man gank on the two-man duo.]

After MSI ends.

V5's hero microphone has also been successfully announced.

The content is as funny as ever, but the final blessing to Zeus is really full of chuunibyou (delusional) elements, yet they still fall for it.

As for the competition for the world's number one title?

The competition is still ongoing. This title is generally not earned through skill, but through battles fought on various social media platforms.

correct.

In the LPL, the world's undisputed best player isn't necessarily the best; only the player recognized as the best by all three parties (the "one lane, three sides") is truly the best.

What is "One Road, Three Parties"?
"One route" refers to the commentary that received unanimous approval from all the commentators.

The three parties refer to a certain book, a certain forum, and a certain blog.

They each have their own responsibilities:

A certain book: The ultimate in sarcasm and eccentricity
A certain forum: The ultimate in creative and flamboyant insults
A blogger: The ultimate family tree greeting

As for a certain poker game?

That's a pure example of someone who wins by doing nothing.

All they know is rating and praising when things are going well and criticizing when things are going badly. They're not respectable and have no real fighting power.

Seeing the barrage of comments praising his new research methods, Luo Ji looked exasperated and said:

"Don't rush, XDM."

"The streamer just got back from vacation. After MSI, there's only a little over a week of vacation left. We can't deny them all their vacation time, can we? Even Niu and Ma don't work like this."

"As for new tactics, we'll just have to wait and see in the matches."

"Strictly speaking, there are no new tricks yet, or rather, everything can be a new trick."

If I remember correctly.

Version 12.10 is a very diverse version, because you can pick any hero and it's all viable. The margin for error is too high. The only thing you need to be careful about is not to tower dive recklessly.

After the tower damage was increased in the new version.

Most heroes can only withstand one tower hit; they'll die after taking a second.

Until version 12.11, the maximum damage scaling of turrets was reduced by 50, which allowed most heroes to withstand two hits from a turret before dying on the third.

Rounding up, it's equivalent to an extra 150+ health points.

This is the live broadcast of the day.

Luo Ji mainly just showed up briefly, played a couple of games, and then watched the transfer news during the off-season with the audience.

Uzi left the team, and it only took him three games to go from his comeback to retirement.

With Duke leaving the team, TES eliminated their most consistent performer through a series of player swaps, essentially meaning they didn't do anything wrong, yet somehow managed to slip away.

SMLZ has returned to the scene and joined WE, but given his communication skills and WE's roster, he'll probably just be a publicity stunt.

Then comes the most important part.

Even though RNG didn't participate in MSI that year, they still swapped top laners with BLG.

Bin will definitely be happy.

RNG is a team that's always defaulting on payments; it's unclear whether they'll even pay your salaries. But BLG has your uncle's backing. What you love is your life.

"The transfer window after MSI seems so-so."

After reviewing the transfer window, apart from two top teams exchanging top laners, the rest were mostly minor changes. It seems that only the transfer window after the World Championship is truly exciting.

"Otherwise, what else do you want to see? Basically, players' contracts are all one or two years long, okay? Do you think they're all like you?"

Kasa laughed and joked from the side, showing no intention of hiding the fact that Luo Ji had signed a long-term contract from the audience during the live stream.

Because V5 has already been officially announced.

After seeing V5 take the lead, the major clubs glanced at the contract and then, disheartened, chose to give up.

Five years!
Other players have either a 1+1 player contract or a club contract.

Good for you.

The contract is for five years.

Five years from now, it's questionable whether anyone will still watch LOL matches. This is clearly aimed at securing a retirement contract.

Debuting and then retiring.

It's like those geniuses who become security guards right after graduation, saving them forty years of detours compared to others.

"I've successfully gotten to the front of everyone."

"Okay, you're right."

After a brief one or two-hour live stream, Luo Ji immediately began researching the current version of the game. With the start of the S12 Summer Split, their first opponent was TT.

It will be placed in the Spring Split.

They're the kind of team that even V5 wouldn't give a second glance; they're just easy targets for experience.

However, with the support of the new version, they have to pay attention to these teams that they used to look down on, because bad anime often produce amazing songs, and weak teams often come up with unexpected tricks.

They also wanted to see if the experienced baby could come up with any tricks or strategies.

And
TT is a great team.

You might say it's bad, but actually, the contestants are all quite famous.

Top laner Fengchuan "Xiang"zi is a high-priced youth training top laner that EDG bought for 500,000 RMB. His only moment of fame was when he encountered JKL in a ranked game with a 100% team fight participation rate. He played passively and was mocked by JKL, who said he deserved to only be able to go to the second team. Perhaps those with "Xiang" in their names all have a bit of a god-like quality.

Jungler Beichuan, who was introduced at the Demacia Cup, transferred from FPX to TT.

UCLAL, the mid laner, was one of the players who hated Rookie the most when KT faced off in the quarterfinals of the S8 World Championship. However, if he saw that Rookie hadn't even shown up at the venue after the match started, he probably felt like the sky had fallen.

Bottom lane: Southwind + Puff, a classic combination from the former IG team.

A team.

The team is now complete with remnants of EDG, FPX, KT, and IG, which fits the profile of a weak team. It's basically a team cobbled together from players rejected by the big clubs.

"pretty good."

Luo Ji called out to Xu Xiu, who had risen from the substitute to the starting lineup, and then patted him heavily on the shoulder:

"See, I told you before."

"As long as you are prepared, your opportunity will come eventually. The time that Brother Chicken is away is the best time for you to rise up against him."

"If I perform well, I can become a key player on the team; if I perform poorly, I can become a key player on another team next season."

Xiao Xuxiu nodded seriously.

Ever since the Demacia Cup, he has always remembered Luo Ji's words. He practiced what Rookie was not good at and started practicing roaming mid laners like crazy.

But who would have thought.

He thought he was already differentiating himself from the competition, but then Rookie inexplicably started practicing roaming mid laners.

But it's okay.

It's normal to experience some setbacks on your career path.

After the main lineup finished playing this game, he started practicing assassin-type mid-laners intensively.

He doesn't believe it anymore.

He changed lanes twice in a row, do you think Rookie can still chase him down and kill him?!
"Okay, that's good, as long as you're confident."

Seeing the stark contrast between the two periods since the Demacia Cup, Luo Ji continued:
"Wait for TT, the first opponent after the start of the season. Don't worry about who their mid laner is. Just know that the opposing mid laner has some conflicts with your Chicken Bro. When they see that it's you playing instead of your Chicken Bro, they might play a little bit more aggressively."

"I know."

Xiao Xuxiu nodded as if she had thought of something.

"I will seriously back down."

"Chicken? I'm telling you to fight back, why should you chicken out?"

"what?"

It's not just Xiao Xuxiu.

Even Kasa and GimGoon, who were standing to the side, were stunned and looked at him in disbelief, but Luo Ji ignored them and continued to deceive them:
"Think about it, the tower damage has been increased so much, and he has such a lot of hatred towards you. If you are slightly more aggressive, he will feel that he has a great chance. As long as you control the degree, the opponent will come to tower dive and then you will kill him."

"As long as you can successfully kill him a few times in a one-on-one fight."

"Your resume will have a new label. You should know that in the S8 World Championship, IG only beat KT and then won the championship 3-0. What does that mean? It means that KT was equivalent to the runner-up in S8. As long as you beat them, it's equivalent to beating the runner-up in S8."

Xiao Xu Xiu: ? ? ?
Although it sounds absurd, he was indeed brainwashed by this fallacy.

like
That's definitely the case.

Throughout the entire process, Xiao Xuxiu felt somewhat dizzy.

My head was filled with things like "If you beat him, you'll be the S8 world champion," "If you perform well, you'll be the new Xu Xiu; if you achieve results, you'll have a new Xiu Bing," and "The battle for the main pick has always been like this; the team's decision to reassign him is already merciful."

He completely fooled Xiao Xuxiu, and only after he left did Jin Gong widen his eyes and whisper:

"I have a feeling you're just trying to fool him."

Luo Ji said matter-of-factly, "I was just fooling him."

"what?"

GimGoon and Kasa's eyes widened instantly.

"If he's not aggressive, how can he attract the enemy jungler? If he doesn't attract the enemy jungler, how can I make plays in the top lane?"

"Besides, isn't this also giving newcomers a chance?"

"LDL is a piece of cake. If LPL gets 'studied' a few times, then going back to LDL will be like stomping noobs!"

“I’m not scheming; I’m helping him specifically for his own good.”

"!!!"

Are you even born?!
