My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 175 Silencing the World, Listening
The vanguard charges in, then switches lanes to push up, then switches back to defend the middle. When V5's three-step strategy is perfectly demonstrated in the early game, it's a clear example of their operational approach.

What lies ahead for WBG?
The pressure of the surging tide is right before our eyes.

With the advantage of being the first to move, WBG had no room to interfere with the second vanguard and the second elemental dragon.

It was as if the opposing V5 had seized their lifeline and taken control of the remote.

The only problem is that you can't tell whether the remote control is beeping, buzzing, or making popping, splattering, or slapping sounds.

"Can we arrest him? Let's take down the Tsar."

"tsar?"

Casarte glanced at the Tsar upon hearing Rookie's voice.

Just this one round.

WBG can only rely on the mid-laner's Azir to initiate team fights, so Angel's build must be the King's Crown, but then the problem arises.

Because Sofm's two failed attempts to gank top lane in the early game caused them to lose the right to contest the Rift Herald, which forced Angel to roam to the bottom lane to protect it from being ganked.

And because TheShy was solo killed.

After forcing them to abandon their tower, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow V5's lane rotation strategy.

In other words.

In those few minutes, Angel barely had time to develop her own character.

at this time.

WBG's tactical system ruined him.

Because of Sofm's aggressive playstyle, Angel, the mid laner, had to be ready to roam the map and engage in small-scale team fights at any time.

Since he was playing Azir, he had to get magic penetration boots first to ensure he had some damage output, instead of going straight for Mythic items.

This leads to.

When Rookie started ganking, Angel's item inventory still contained magic penetration boots and Mythic items.

at the moment.

Angel on the flanks is undoubtedly making up the last bit of money needed to complete his Mythic outfit.

When it's time to make that final push.

People can lose their minds.

Known as the mid-lane defensive turret, his positioning undoubtedly created an opportunity when he only had a few hundred gold left to acquire a Mythic item.

Then come on!
The two old men from the Nakano Canyon started their performance.

In the middle lane, Xiao Yan and PPGOD pressed forward, putting even more pressure on each other, but neither of them used their survival skills carelessly.

This is the tacit understanding between team members.

The synergy fostered by Overcooked 2 is gradually changing the current reorganized V5 team.

WBG was clearly taken aback by EZ's push with Karma.

From God's perspective.

Sofm started moving towards the mid lane, while TheShy retreated a bit, looking like he was ready to teleport at any moment. Angel heard his teammates' calls and, knowing that time was running out, he actually revealed an even bigger weakness.

He even used his Q skill right in front of the fox.

He wants to go home.

What a coincidence! You wanted to go home, and I was worried about your safety so late at night, so I wanted to take you home. We're both good people!
When Angel finally managed to replenish her resources and was ready to return to the city...

Turn around.

Kassa's Lee Sin had already circled around behind him.

This wave~
This wave is unavoidable for "Jay".

Angel: !!!
A few seconds later.

V5_Rookie killed WBG_Angel
Commentary seat.

After finally finishing his analysis, Ji De, who was known as a well-known commentator for the LPL league, suddenly spoke up. He had some basic understanding of the situation.

"Angel gave me a chance!"

"V5 capitalized on this fake opportunity exceptionally well. Once Azir finishes farming this wave, he'll have a Mythic item. WBG desperately needs Azir with a Mythic item for team fights."

"Without Tsar, V5's push to the mid tower can only be countered by Aphelios clearing the wave."

"That"

"WBG needs to start watching out for Gragas flanking from behind."

Yes.

Almost immediately after killing the Tsar, Xiao Yan and PPGOD began to converge on the bottom lane, not to push the middle lane, but to force the bottom lane!

The entire V5 is very clear.

at the moment.

The mid lane was full of defensive wards placed by the enemy ON, but the bottom lane was empty, with only one ward placed by Angel before he died.

Now that the bottom lane duo has moved down, WBG's side must move down as well.

Everyone got off.

Firstly, there's a time difference. By the time they come down, Karsa and Rookie have already coordinated with the Vanguard to take down most of WBG's second bottom tower's health.

Secondly, Luo Ji should also move, even if it means moving down into the enemy mid lane without their vision, because there is no vision in your lower jungle.

so.
If Gragas provides support, Jayce must follow suit; otherwise, if Gragas gets inside and uses his ultimate through the wall, WBG's momentum will be completely disrupted.

Jayce followed the barrel to provide support.

Jayce's development will be delayed again. TheShy, who has already been solo killed once, will have his Tear of the Goddess stacks even slower, causing him to miss the spawn time of the third elemental dragon.

chain reaction!

It's all a chain reaction!
"Such a suffocating offensive rhythm."

WBG Lounge

Easyhoon subconsciously clenched his fingers.

In his plan, having won the first game, all they needed to do in the second game was to establish a rhythm in the early stages. They could then use the momentum generated by winning the first game to crush their opponents all the way through, even if the opponents came up with all sorts of tricks to win the game.

The opposing team, having exhausted their energy, will also be at a disadvantage when facing their own team in the third round.

because.

WBG's players are clearly younger.

But the turning point came with that solo farming and counter-kill in the top lane. Despite being at a disadvantage in that lane, the 1v1 counter-kill showed all the V5 players why they had to win.

Because his "elder brother" didn't give up!

"Give it to them."

After hesitating for a while, ON watched as the two top laners slowly approached and could only choose to let the tower give up the dragon.

In just sixteen or seventeen minutes.

With the help of the second vanguard, V5 successfully forced down WBG's second bottom tower and pushed the minion wave all the way to WBG's high ground.

I won't push it.

They remained locked in this stalemate until a little over 18 minutes when the third dragon, ready to win, spawned. Only then did they collectively retreat and turn to fight the dragon after a new wave of minions arrived.

There was no resistance whatsoever.

The three elemental dragons in the early stages were as docile as a young wife who had just finished harvesting grain.

He exudes an aura of submission from head to toe.
The entire live stream was awestruck by V5's strategy in this match; the aura of a strong team was palpable even through the screen.

Let's briefly consider WBG's perspective.

There's an inexplicable sense of helplessness, like when LPL teams were outmaneuvered and outmaneuvered by LCK teams in the World Championship a few years ago.

[That's too strong.] [What's going on? Did they accidentally press some kind of switch after that solo kill in the top lane? How did V5 suddenly become so powerful?]

[In the last game, WBG's performance was phenomenal; in the next game, they fed both top and mid laners. WBG's skill ceiling and floor are just too wide.]

[I thought TheShy's ability to summon a Heroic Spirit was the pinnacle of human skill, but I forgot that the opposing Mebius is beyond the realms of existence; even the strongest Heroic Spirit can't defeat an alien being.]

With all map resources under control in the early stages.

at the moment.

TheShy is also facing increasing pressure in the laning phase, not from his teammates, but from the pressure that Luo Ji is putting on as a solo laner.

In version 12.11, a fatal adjustment was made to the Mythic gear for mages.

The control duration of the Mythic item [Eternal Frost] has been reduced from 1.5 seconds to 1 second. In a match, 0.5 seconds is enough for players to make some quick moves.

That's a huge cut.

At the same time, the Mythic item [Night Harvester] was buffed, with its skill haste increased from 15 to 25 and its cooldown reduced from 40 seconds to 30 seconds.

This made the field...

Gragas is more flexible in his playstyle, and the AP Gragas build makes it increasingly difficult for WBG to handle his damage output.

TheShy is definitely a top-tier top laner.

Jayce does indeed deal a lot of damage in the early and mid-game.

However, when facing a top laner like Gragas who also deals high damage, Jayce lacks a crucial attribute that Gragas possesses—health regeneration.

Picking your nose can make your hands tired.

But if you can't break your nose, the more you dig, the more comfortable it feels.

TheShy is clearly facing this problem right now. He loses out when trading blows with Gragas, and when he goes all in, the opponent suddenly stops responding and just tries to kite him.

This made TheShy, whose fighting spirit had been stirred up, extremely uncomfortable.

Damn you.

You're only responsible for fanning the flames, not putting them out, right?

You're so naughty, kid!
"WBG is going to have a decisive team fight against V5."

Seeing that V5 gave no chance at all during the transition from a winning hand to a Dragon Soul Dragon, the commentator GuGu directly made his judgment.

"Yes."

I remember first agreeing with his statement, and then saying:

"WBG's biggest problem right now is that their damage output is a bit lacking at this point, and they have to rely on Jayce's poke. But when it comes to poke ability, V5 is in no way inferior to them. Ezreal and Karma are both too fed."

Yes.

Too fat.

EZ is one thing, you're the carry ADC, you have an advantage and you still get so many turret plates, it's only right that you're fed, but what about your support Karma?

PPGOD also has something to say.

I brought the first attack!
In this more forgiving version, Karma with Comet no longer has the same lane dominance as before. But if you think about it another way, the opponent is more durable. Doesn't that mean that if you treat the opponent like a leek, you can harvest more from them?

The theory holds true, and so does reality.

at the moment.

With a significant economic advantage, PPGOD not only had a lead in individual item builds over the opposing ON, but also, with the support of his economic advantage, he went on a buying spree of true sight wards, doubling his opponent's score.

The elemental dragon is about to spawn.

Both teams circled the river and began using their poke skills, creating a chaotic scene in the Rift.

Casa nodded at Luo Ji.

"So, young man? Do you have the courage to charge at the dragon?"

"Hard to say."

Luo Ji smiled and shook his head, replying:

"But I do have the courage to charge at the dragon."

“That’s very life-like.”

This wave.

Since Karsa, as a jungler, must be in the front line, Luo Ji can only find a way to flank him.

TP targeted the ward in the bottom lane.

Luo Ji's move from the wall to the red team's position, Frog Queen, did not arouse any suspicion from anyone in WBG, nor was it even exposed to WBG's sight.

It's difficult for the support player on the losing side to cover every single item placement perfectly.

To prevent the barrels from flanking the back.

His anti-flanking ward was placed in the bush near the river where the blue buff is located. The remaining two wards and the control ward need to leave enough room for the upcoming team fights. Providing one anti-flanking ward is already the limit.

At this point, the three essential elements of vision come into play.

which is:
Ganks should stay close to walls, place wards as close to each other as possible, and cover as much area as possible.

Luo Ji, with his superior logic, perfectly achieved the former.

ON, despite its disadvantages, failed to excel in the latter two areas.

Why are people not very sensitive to eye positions when playing games?
This brings us back to what we said earlier.

Because most LOL players are actually in the Gold rank or even lower, and vision control is a very important skill.

The main point is that in low-level games, you can see people no matter how you place your units, but in high-level games, you can't see people no matter how you place your units.
then.

When Luo Ji activated his scanner and discovered that there were no wards at the intersection of the enemy's blue buffs, and no vision even in the blue buff bush, he immediately plunged into the bush.

This action
This also made the V5 team's eyes light up when they discovered that their top laner was in position.

"Press it down! Press it down!"

"My dream position is excellent, let's press directly!"

"How to force it?"

"Roll your face on the keyboard. If you really can't do that, smash the keyboard in your face and let it move on its own."

On the playing field.

The WBG team, who were poking each other and waiting for the dragon to spawn, suddenly saw the enemy support Karma unleash a group shield and speed boost, charging towards them like a madman.

WBG members: ?
The sudden movement made them instinctively feel a sense of fear.

After all, they are currently at a disadvantage in terms of economy, equipment, buffs, and even vision level.

Although I don't know the principle behind the enemy's aggressive charge, as long as I retreat to a place where I have a line of sight behind me, there will definitely be no problem.

With this thought.

WBG's bottom laner, jungler, and support started returning to their original lanes in the jungle. Only Angel, who believed that carries should not stand together, and TheShy's Jayce retreated to the mid lane.

The opportunity has arrived!
E [Human Bomb Impact]

F [Flash]

R [Exploding Barrel]

WE Flash RQA
As the barrel flashed through the wall, a powerful force swiftly broke through WBG's defenses. In the instant that ON and the others were questioning their existence, the massive explosive airflow brought by the ultimate skill suddenly expanded.

The entire live stream chat seemed to freeze.

This day.

Those familiar with the competition, watching from across the ocean, once again understood the value of nuclear peace.

This is it!

The greatest explosion magic in history!!!
