My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 174 is won, Shy's defeat CG.
When both junglers focused their attention on the bottom half of the map because of the Herald that Karsa had acquired.

Hit the road.

The two figures suddenly erupted without warning, colliding violently like Mars colliding with Earth.

TheShy's cannon-like double attack hit Gragas first, and as he closed the distance, he followed up with two basic attacks.

Luo Ji naturally chose to retaliate, activating his W skill [Drunken Frenzy] for 2.5 seconds of damage reduction, which mitigated the damage from Jayce's subsequent two auto-attacks. He then used his Q skill to slow Jayce down before closing in.

at the same time.

Both of them started taking the medicine.

Until the opponent switches forms, W and Q are used together.

Luo Ji then used his E skill to knock it down.

This prevented Jayce in melee form from reaching a distance where he could auto-attack, so he turned and began to retreat towards the turret.

The clash between Gragas and Jayce.

The advantage of Gragas lies in the continuous health regeneration brought by his passive, while Jayce's advantage lies in his ranged attack against melee opponents in his cannon form. The health exchange between the two sides was fierce, but it was not yet at the point of being lethal.

"Is this just a one-off attack, or do they really want to fight?"

Luo Ji pondered for a moment.

The moment the Q skill's cooldown is over, it's released again. This kind of instantaneous action is the hardest for people to react to.

However.
TheShy's Jayce suddenly stopped.

Even if he instantly switches back to ranged form and lands a basic attack, he's almost face-to-face with the enemy, and the Gragas' Q skill misses completely.

"not good!"

Luo Ji muttered to himself and moved backward again.

They retreated to the side.

He activated his W skill, which was off cooldown, and drank, going in the opposite direction from where he had previously thrown his Q towards Jayce's location.

This turn.

This also caused TheShy's Q skill, which he immediately threw after his basic attack, to miss.

What makes Gragas so annoying is that even if his passive isn't ready, his W skill has a fixed cooldown of 5 seconds. With the 2.5-second damage reduction, the actual downtime is only 2.5 seconds.

This wave.

The two sides essentially tied.

"Is he planning to kill me?"

"In just a few seconds, the two sides engaged in no fewer than three rounds of maneuvering."

"So aggressive! TheShy's laning phase is as aggressive as ever, but when did IMeng become this aggressive?"

Even the professional players watching the match couldn't help but marvel at the battle between the two players captured on camera.

I still remember the beginning of the year.

Although Luo Ji plays fancy games, he still has a significant weakness in laning.

The various poor KDA performances over the past six months have misled many cybersecurity thieves who only look at the data.

But right now.

However, what he showed on screen was not the case at all.

TheShy is still faking it.

His positioning was quite subtle, just within Gragas's E range, yet he made a move that seemed to be about to auto-attack and stun Gragas's health, a move that could be described as swaying his positioning.

Luo Ji remained unmoved.

The moment the opponent retreated again, E skill [Meatball Impact] was used to push them forward.

He predicted that Jayce's position would be moved back, and in fact, he was right. Jayce did turn around, and before TheShy could even auto-attack, he was already being pushed back by Luo Ji's Gragas at the maximum range.

Immediately after
It's the instant activation of the ultimate ability, [Exploding Barrel]!
ERA's combo directly reduced the enemy's health, and the explosive impact of his ultimate even knocked TheShy's Jayce far away.

The Shy: "!?"

This is?

All in invitation!?

Luo Ji clearly didn't need to use his ultimate skill, but he did it first, not only to blast Jayce away and wait for his passive cooldown, but also to give TheShy a signal.

I'm too old to grow up.

and so.

war?
TheShy's eyes sharpened instantly.

The scene before him reminded him of their daily solo practice sessions, a long-lost feeling that made him feel incredibly excited, with every cell in his body screaming with joy.

Gentlemen, I like to grow stronger!

There was no hesitation whatsoever. Even though Gragas had already used his ultimate, TheShy still didn't choose to recall to base to upgrade his equipment and then use Teleport again to apply pressure, even though he had Teleport available.

Instead, he stayed safely on the lane, quietly farming the top lane minions. Beneath his calm exterior lay a fierce battle brewing.

He watched as he forced the barrel into the bushes.

While probing to create distance, he also anticipated and launched an EQ combo.

The current situation.

TheShy had many opportunities, and even in this instance, the health bar above Gragas's head was clearly insufficient to withstand his combo. If his EQ combo landed, switching to melee form and striking would guarantee a win.

How
This predicted EQ move was still dodged by Luo Ji using his movement skills, even without vision of the enemy's bushes.

This was a high-stakes gamble from the start.

TheShy, true to his word, began to retreat with Jayce, and at that moment, Luo Ji's Gragas was in the top lane.

In a highly focused state, Luo Ji was completely unable to keep track of the positions of other people on the minimap.

There was only one thought in my mind.

anyway!

He's determined to beat them!
As a time traveler, it's a bit of a failure that he hasn't been able to solo kill TheShy in a competition.

He longed for it.

I long to see TheShy's vulnerable, blank, or even silent laugh-out-loud defeat CG when he watches the replay after being killed by him.

He wants to win, win or lose.

He must defeat his opponent!

"Oh!"

That's the sound of Gragas' Q skill exploding under Jayce's feet.

The distance Jayce had previously closed in on has now become a distance Jayce can no longer create, and Gragas, having activated his W ability, emerges from the bushes. And then...

It's another use of the E skill, [Meatball Impact]!

The real battle has begun!
"Shh!"

Jayce used Flash.

Both Luo Ji and TheShy knew very well that Jayce would dodge Gragas's E with Flash; the key was the ensuing game.

After landing with Flash, Jayce has the opportunity to instantly switch to melee form and unleash a combo.

To truly kill Gragas, we need to see if his ranged EQ double cannon can hit after he finishes his melee attack.

Hit, the barrel is dead.

Miss, Jess dies.

A deadly game, resembling a death trap, unfolds.

Above?

Is it still below?
TheShy didn't have much time to think either. As Gragas was about to move out of his auto-attack range, he had to make a decision about his EQ combo.

next second.

Luo Ji suddenly heard a terrifying roar from the surge of electrical energy, and the surging light made his heart beat at its highest point.

The hand manipulating the mouse unconsciously swiped downwards, and as the movement shifted downwards, the light screen created by Jayce's EQ combo whizzed past, darting past the empty space next to Gragas.

Dodged!
It got dodged again!
In this exchange, both sides kept trading health based on each other's skills, and when Jayce missed with another EQ combo.

at last.

The initiative in the game had completely shifted to Luo Ji, and at this moment, his eyes burned with a fierce flame of excitement.

Jess has no cards left.

EQ missed, skills were on cooldown, Flash was used, and right now they can't even create distance between themselves and Gragas. On the other hand, Luo Ji, even though his health is hanging by a thread, his passive and skill cooldowns have come back to normal.

"Teacher Shy."

"I've won this round!"

W drank alcohol.

It was a successful E-Flash-QA combo.

On the screen, the barrel controlled by Luo Ji resembled a nimble fat man, swiftly closing the distance between Jess and the two when Jess had no way to avoid it.

Bang!
The defeat cutscene unlocked in an instant, and the roar of the solo kill resounded through the clouds.

V5, Mebius killed WBG, The shy
This wave.

Even a miraculous comeback!

[Fuck, dream!]

[Wow, you're forcing Jayce's EQ combo? Are you using a script?!]

[Damn it, 69! Kaka actually found a top laner who plays Gragas better than you, oh, and Gnar too.]

My bank card PIN is...

The moment the system notification of his death rang out on the field, TheShy stared at the screen in a daze, then slowly came back to his senses with the soft exclamations of his teammates:
"Shy, bro!? Are you okay? You just got solo killed once, don't get tilted."

"It's okay, it's okay, he's amazing, amazing."

Instead of being disappointed, TheShy, who had come to his senses, excitedly pointed at the screen.

Again.

The current match is not related to a World Championship ticket, nor is it a crucial game in the World Championship; it is just a regular season match.

it's here.

An opponent that cannot be defeated even with all one's might will only ignite his fighting spirit, not diminish his passion for war.

He became excited.

"Cow batch!"

"666666"

"Solo was covered by a thin veil, and he pulled off a comeback in the match. You know how to create a good show."

"Wow, you're making us feel bad."

Hearing the kill notification from the top lane, V5 received the "Morale Boost" buff.

Although it wasn't as outrageous as the "eight kids watching their dad" scenario in Bronze and Silver games, the opponent was TheShy! Their star player killed the opponent's star player, and a world-class top laner at that. That was enough to boost morale.

With a huge boost in morale.

Karsa released the Herald, and facing the enemy's Ahri + Lee Sin engage combo, WBG thought for a moment and also chose to give up the bottom tower.

It's not that we can't fight.

Instead, we shouldn't try to fight the enemy head-on despite their high morale.

That would likely result in a loss.

"As expected, the coach wasn't lying to us. We were all fooled by the enemy top laner's stats."

"He's really something else. He clearly has the skills, but he just prefers to do flower arrangements."

Huanfeng and ON were full of complaints.

In their eyes.

Luo Ji's actions are as disgusting as a landlord who has nothing better to do than work as a security guard in a residential compound and occasionally sympathizes with the delivery riders who come to deliver food.

It's not because there's anything wrong with doing it this way.

It's not that they're angry because they're not the security guard/land collector.
He was solo killed in the top lane.

The bottom lane has destroyed one tower.

V5's bot lane duo then rotated to the top lane, and the standardized and operational strategies of S12 began to emerge. However, WBG was currently unable to stop the opponent's actions.

Angel glanced at the jungler who was farming the jungle like crazy.

He glanced again at Jayce, who had gone to farm the bottom lane.

Knowing that his bot lane duo needed someone to protect them, he took on the responsibility of protecting the team. When the enemy mid laner Rookie pushed the lane into the tower, he could only choose to ignore it temporarily and wait for the jungler to finish clearing the jungle before going to farm.

This is WBG.

The mid laner is completely sacrificed to make way for the jungler.

Just for now.

Their rhythm was disrupted.
