My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 171 "Living"

Eating a late-night snack.

Luo Ji talked with Casa and Rookie for over an hour.

The more they talked, the more they felt that Luo Ji was not like a young man, and that the things they were worried about would never happen to Luo Ji.

On the contrary, Luo Ji understands even better than them that his own strength and achievements are the foundation that allows him to continue in other industries.

for a long time.

Rookie continued, still savoring the moment, "If I had met you sooner, I wouldn't have lost money in the restaurant business."

Luo Ji didn't dare to say a word.

He always felt that celebrities opening stores were just a way to make money off customers.

Otherwise, if the main selling point is cheap and delicious food, coupled with the fame of e-sports stars, they should be able to make money easily.

Rather than like now.

He opened the shop but didn't know how to run it or manage it. He just left the whole thing to the chefs to cook. Now he's either going out of business or losing money, just like the stock market where he's stuck with losses.

No matter what.

How about converting a guesthouse into an e-sports hotel?
"I was inspired by the cup when I saw the push notification. Also, some LOL tutorial content creators sold this thing in the early days. They were all based on the experience of their predecessors. I can only say that I was lucky."

"You kid, all your successes along the way can't all be luck, right?"

Casa was grinning from ear to ear.

Although he felt a little regretful, back when he went to the factory with Luo Ji, if he had been willing to swallow his pride, he would probably be among the employees now. But now, he was too embarrassed to ask again.

"Okay, as long as you can distinguish between serious matters, that's fine. LPL has always been about skill. As long as you still have the skill, you won't lack anything you're entitled to. And then there's the matter of relationships."

Rookie hesitated for a moment, then felt that he might be doing something unnecessary.

"I'm not worried about your love life, but you'll have to worry about Qi Shen. We're older than him, so when we talk to him, it usually goes in one ear and out the other. But you're different."

"It's alright, he can rest assured and leave it to me."

Luo Ji patted his chest:
"It's better to block than to open up."

"I have an idea that I can refer to my friend's past."

"I had a friend in college who also liked to fawn over a girl. Later, she agreed to be my friend's girlfriend, and my friend immediately stopped liking her. Because after she agreed, my friend realized that he didn't actually like her, but just enjoyed the free, ambiguous feeling of being a 'simp'."

"Qi Shen just hasn't learned how to be happy yet."

"But it's okay, he'll learn it soon."

Rookie, Casa: ? ? ?

You're a good friend.

Is the brain what a normal human being should have?
Luo Ji was also at a loss.

Playing professionally is like this: you have to be both a father and a mother, and occasionally you have to carry the whole game. But he's slowly gotten used to it. When he was in college, he worked part-time as a waiter and discovered the basic operating rules of this world in advance.

Anyone who has worked in the service industry understands:

This world is a giant mental hospital, only everyone's illness is different.

If you have to blame yourself for not being born into the right family, any book like "Rebirth: I Am the Commander-in-Chief of the Cold-Weather Mold" would be more enjoyable than ten Faker stories combined. He'd be running girl groups every day, and still have time to practice his childhood kung fu (a type of martial arts technique).

With the end of the match day against EDG.

Following closely was the successful release of version 12.12.

Let me mention this here.

Just one or two versions ago, the new hero "Alps" (Pylvis) made his debut. Because he was so unpopular, most people's impression of this hero was probably only that Kanavi liked to pick him in do-or-die situations.

This also occurred before V5's next round of matches had even begun.

Studio.

Many viewers are already lamenting the despair of losing points.

Strategy is a magical thing. For example, there was the 5A-level Mordekaiser at the beginning, then the roaming Janna, and then the AP mid-lane Kai'Sa. These extraordinary strategies are a game-changer in lower ranks because they are not only fun, but also fit the meta.

Once you've experienced that kind of joy...

Behind
It's hard to go back to the rigid, predictable style of play. At this point, many viewers are clamoring for new strategies.

[Hurry, streamer! I've checked all the other live streams, and none of their products are as pure as yours.]

[Don't blame the streamer if you can't get on the field; look for your own shortcomings, such as whether you played a game against bots before the match to warm up your game.]

Are the comments all about the same thing?

[That's not important. What's important is that the Holy Grail War has been going on for so long, and there are still only a few different designs. What are they doing? Get to researching new Servants already!!!]

[The number of new designs isn't even keeping up with the growing fandom; it's not just spreading to the League of Legends and costume communities anymore, even the Naruto community has fallen victim—can you believe it?]

The flames of the Holy Grail War eventually reached the Fire Beast.

Yifa, a famous UP master on Huopi, also became a Cup Shadow a year ahead of schedule, starting a business for Luo Ji's brand.

However, since the audience wants him to come up with a routine.

That.
Luo Ji, of course, did not forget his reputation as a scientific researcher.

In the game "League of Legends", there is an old statistic that roughly 5%-8% of the total number of players are Diamond or above, Bronze accounts for about 30%, Silver has the largest proportion of about 40-45%, Gold accounts for 15%, and Platinum accounts for 6-8%.

The current ratio should be 30% silver and 30% gold.

of course.

If it's Bilibili's bullet comments.

So 90% are Grandmasters or Challengers, and the rest are Diamond 1 or Masters.

So there's not much to say. One is Sunfire Cape, the other is Liandry's Anguish Morgana. This is the answer for low-elo players. Because it's too brainless and easy to beat, I won't write about these two. Writing about them would just be padding the numbers.

That's why it's become a routine.

The increased margin for error has led to longer game ends, meaning that many games can only end when players have three or even four items, allowing them to reach their power spike after acquiring those three items.

Meanwhile, WBG Club.

A group of people gathered around TheShy's computer and watched Luo Ji's live stream for a long time before finally coming to the conclusion that "low-elo strategies are useless for reference." "It's pure noob stomping. This double-mask Morgana is somewhat decent, but the Sunfire Aegis Master Yi is just low-elo stuff."

"That's still pretty impressive. Although the designer's versions are like adding more flour when there's too much water and more water when there's too much flour, at least he grasped the key points and knew to add salt." Huanfeng praised him with a touch of emotion, then looked at his older brother.

this will.

TheShy was still happily watching the scene on the screen.

Although TheShy often practices with Luo Ji in private.

But on the field.

This is only the second time the two have been paired together.

Let's briefly review the WBG team members: TheShy, Sofm, Angel, Huanfeng, and ON are all Schrödinger's cat of strength.

Huanfeng, especially during this period.

Many people have only two impressions of Huanfeng: one is that he is a "sea whip boy" and the other is that he is a coward. The former is his reputation from the S10 World Championship, while the latter is his current reputation.

S12.
Huanfeng's playing style underwent a dramatic transformation in just one season.

From AD's perspective, "You can only output damage if you're alive."

It has successfully evolved to the point of "living".

This gives an esports player with almost no formal education a literary air about him. However, for WBG right now, the AD carry's performance is not important. What matters is whether the team's veteran players are confident in defeating Luo Ji.

This is the point.

WBG's coach is still Easyhoon.

From the coach's perspective, he was actually quite wary of Luo Ji's performance, because it didn't seem like the performance of a newcomer.

Despite having won the Spring Championship and MSI consecutively, the top laner, whose KDA was seriously mismatched with his performance on the field, was seen as a monster by coaches, but was considered just so-so by the players.

Please.

They just didn't show strong online dominance.

That doesn't mean he didn't bring significant benefits to the team!
"I think before we consider whether TheShy can suppress the opponent, I need to have a meeting with you guys to wake you up."

After realizing that the team members were not thinking correctly, Easyhoon waved his hand and pulled everyone into a small room for a meeting. He then pointed to the screen comparing Luo Ji and V5, and then pointed to the screen comparing JDG, whose current summer season record is also outstanding.

"You're all professional players now, so I have a question for you."

"Was V5 the Spring Split champion?"

The contestants exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

Did V5's top laner deliver an MVP-caliber performance at MSI?

"Yes."

"So do you think he's stronger, or is V5 as a whole stronger?"

"V5 is strong."

"If V5 didn't have him, do you still think V5 would be as strong as it is now?"

"It seems not."

"Then why do you think he's not scary!?"

"!!!"

"When did you guys get the misconception that TheShy alone could completely subdue him?"

Really.

Such doubts are not only found in WBG, the club where EZ Monkey plays, but also in various clubs in the LPL.

Is it because Luo Ji's image of always creating drama is too deeply ingrained, or is it because his lack of focus on K/DA has made people lower their guard?

This clearly shows a world-class top laner who is constantly practicing with TheShy to close the gap in skill.

How could you guys not take him seriously?

I've come to my senses.

The WBG players suddenly realized something.

This even touches on a bit of the Schrödinger principle. For example, Looper in S6, Duke in S8, GimGoon in S9, and Laygun in S11 are all strange players. They are incredibly strong, have impressive records, and are full of honors.

But I just don't know why.

When other LPL teams face them, they don't target them much. On the contrary, top laners like TheShy, Bin, Breath, and Ale, who are extremely aggressive, give other teams the illusion that if your top laner is strong, I have to target you.

S8's Letme was slightly inferior.

And right now, Luo Ji is clearly also following this trend.

So far:

Easyhoon finally spoke up: "For our upcoming match against V5, I've already devised a special decapitation operation for them."

Hear this.

ON suddenly reached out and asked curiously:

"So coach, if we focus on the top half of the map, what should we do about V5's mid and jungle?"

Listen to his voice.

Easyhoon gave ON an approving look and clapped his hands:
"In fact, we have been overlooking a weakness of V5. Admittedly, V5's two lanes have been outstanding in the first half of this year, but in reality, their bot lane is only adequate, and their top lane is also weak because they have not encountered a top laner who can suppress them in one lane."

"But we have it."

"What we need to do is suppress him while prolonging the battle."

"Instead of worrying about being less skilled than others, you should be determined to outlast them."

This is the "Old Man Endurance Tactic"!
