My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 176 Are you okay?

"Mebius!"

"Mebius executed a flawless flanking maneuver!"

"Wait, this damage!?"

"Woooo~ This AOE attack is off the charts, WBG is going to explode!!!"

There's a very interesting scene in League of Legends.

Whether in professional matches or regular ranked games, people often easily overlook the AOE damage that heroes like Gragas can deal.

Just like many people subconsciously feel that the hero Xiaoju has no damage, it's a kind of cognitive bias.

And in fact.

In the entire League of Legends, there are four champions whose fourth skill is an AOE attack. Ziggs' burst damage is 255% AP, Orianna's is 245%, Lissandra's is 285%, and Gragas' is 290%. However, Gragas is the one who can most easily deal full damage with all four skills at the same time.

When the entire set of skills is used.

As Aphelios was finished off by Luo Ji with his W, he was almost instantly killed by his teammates' AOE damage.

ON's Lena didn't even have a chance to give her AD [timely rescue], she could only put it on herself immediately after landing.

then.

Triggered successfully.

【? ? ? 】

[They probably filled the bucket with lead.]

[No way, this damage is serious! It instantly killed him!?]

[He drank some liquor and became reckless.]

[ON: I can't exactly give W full health, can I?]

Make sense.

In other words, the current version of Gragas's stats have been nerfed. If it were an old set of Gragas, it would have already one-shotted ERQ.

if that's the case.

The comments section would undoubtedly become: "I thought it was a minion," "We're all trying our best," and "Talk to my stats."
Unfortunately, it cannot be changed.

The moment the explosion occurred, Sofm almost wanted to surrender, but remembering that this was a competition, he restrained his emotions and began to retreat.

This is the vision of the disadvantaged side.

They didn't even know why the barrel was in that position, even though there were anti-intrusion wards in the bottom jungle.

They managed to get through all of this.

The only explanation is that there was a ward left by the enemy on the bottom lane.

"Retreat."

"The dragon has given up its share."

When Sofm murmured, the entire WBG team voice chat became unusually quiet.

This dragon soul is a Hextech dragon soul, which means that having a dragon soul is equivalent to having a lightning chain effect, and the attributes of a single dragon are increased skill haste and attack speed.

For V5's lineup, which already boasts Gragas, Ezreal, and Karma, the boost from this Dragon Soul is undeniable.

It's not that they can't accept V5 getting the Dragon Soul.

Rather, they couldn't accept that V5 got the Dragon Soul so easily.

Compared to their previous struggles, V5's ease in taking down the dragon this time was comparable to Sasuke only activating his first tomoe after his entire clan died, while Sarada activated her Mangekyou Sharingan after a little early romance, making the other Uchiha seem like clowns.

Next game.

Luo Ji's old tricks are back in action.

No more flanking or showing off their skills, they relied on their advantage and the Dragon Soul, cooperating with PPGOD and Xiao Yan to bombard them with various attacks.

Tell the truth.

I used all sorts of strategic maneuvering, tactics, and flanking maneuvers in the early stages to turn the tide, and now that the situation has turned in my favor, I'm not going to play any more recklessly with you.

Then all my advantage was for nothing?
stable!
Go all in and stay safe!
Just play it safe and steady, like cutting flesh with a dull knife, and let the opponent feel what torture is.

In the team voice.

The style was completely changed, and the scene became so disturbing that even the referee behind him couldn't bear to look at it.

"Second Battalion Commander, where the hell is your Italian cannon? Pull it up for me!"

"fire!!!"

"Yes, it's such a wonderful thing."

"In the instant of the explosion, everything fell silent, and even death added an artistic touch to the explosion."

“Art is Patrick!!!”

"O powder keg containing the power of the periodic table, bring me true nuclear peace. The coordinates are accurate: longitude 138.57, latitude 36.42. I command you as the world's peace ambassador."

"Bombing attack coming!!!"

The ratio of players in Pokémon to players is 3:1, and the economic gap is a multiple of 3, indicating that the advantage lies with us.

Under V5's bombardment tactics.

The morale of the entire WBG team gradually collapsed, and TheShy even suffered another breakdown after failing to provoke Luo Ji into a one-on-one duel on the sidelines several times.

It can't really be considered an illness.

Anyone who has studied TheShy's matches will find that he has always been this kind of player.

Whenever his teammates are at a disadvantage, he will try to use his personal skills to help the team turn the tide. He will be very anxious, and then the opponent will find his weakness and kill him instantly.

To put it nicely, it means "I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing."

To put it bluntly, it's like saying, "I'm risking my life to deal damage, but if my teammates can't finish them off, then I'm just feeding. Four crappers, if that doesn't work, I'm done."

even.

The three core players of IG in S8 were all like this. Whether it was TheShy, Rookie, or JKL, they were all the same. The only difference was that back then, the three of them could complement each other, but now, after they separated, they can only be the second-in-command of their respective teams.

It's not okay to raise a C-class pet.

Even Ning once commented in his live stream: "In this team, TheShy is like a god. If he can come down to earth, they can win. If he can't, they'll just die. If TheShy says something, everyone else will say 'good, bro.'"

A few minutes later.

With another wave of exploding barrels and swarms of meatballs, WBG's high ground, after 26 minutes of desperate defense, finally saw its main crystal explode.

1:1
The score is tied. "Well done!"

As soon as the match ended, Nofe and the others who walked in from another room immediately gave a thumbs up.

The key point isn't the outcome of a single match, although that's important too. The key point is how V5 ended the second match in a way that was extremely demoralizing for the opposing team.

Especially Sofm.

In the second game, he acted like an outsider, doing nothing but farming. He tried to contribute in team fights, but what could he do when there were no souls on the ground?
Whether in professional or casual ranked games, junglers are the most vulnerable in terms of mentality.

This round is over.

WBG's morale plummeted, while V5's soared.

In Nofe's and others' eyes, the third round was already decided.

as predicted.

When the two sides returned to the competition, TheShy was still TheShy, but the rest of WBG couldn't keep up. The old man didn't die, but the young man's bladder couldn't handle it first.

2:1
Keep the winning streak going!

[LPL is really lucky. In the Summer Split, not only did they have an undefeated team, V5, but also an undefeated team, WE. Will other teams follow suit next year?]

TheShy tried his best, but his opponent was Meng, and his performance was truly disheartening.

[After all, he's getting old. If a peak TheShy came, maybe I could handle it, but that's not necessarily true. I'm too focused on winning; I can be stable, carry, and explode in team fights—a true all-rounder.]

[Sofm: The odds are very high, but the bookmakers are too greedy, I placed the bet.]

So here's the question: if I make a wish upon the Holy Grail now, can I borrow the power of my dream?

past life.

This BO3 match saw WBG break V5's winning streak.

Many people are joking that TheShy specifically chose this BO3 match to be a godlike performance because of his deep love for Rookie.

So let him experience what it means for the person who loves you to hurt you the most.

This wasn't just reflected in this one BO3; in the original world's spring and summer seasons, V5 lost to WBG both times.

It can only be said that the butterfly effect has finally reached LPL territory.

After the game.

The MVP award was given to Luo Ji.

This point was somewhat outrageous, because the entire commentary team was caught in a power struggle, and he wanted to stand out, so he openly declared in the cafeteria:

"No matter what, I'll vote for the second-best performer. That's my style—to draw the audience's attention to the other players on the team. I won't change it even if I get criticized."

It turned out that nobody bought into his outlandish logic.

TheShy certainly has a lot of fans, but LuoJi also has quite a few fans on the winner's side.

Giving things indiscriminately will offend people, so I can only go back to being honest.

"What a pity. If it had been live, Chicken Bro and Shy Bro's expressions during the handshake would have been quite interesting." Luo Ji stretched lazily.

Today's match was anything but easy for him.

TheShy, who has returned to his god-like state, is indeed impressive, but because he has to maintain a full BO3 series, his dominance is not as strong as he usually is in solo matches.

It's like comparing the 100-meter dash to the 1000-meter dash; they're completely different levels.

But even so.

The opponent was essentially running at the level of an Olympic athlete on a 1000-meter track.

Even TheShy, who is older and has a hand injury, can get excited like this.

Luo Ji didn't even dare to think about it.

If professional League of Legends matches allowed players to smoke and chew betel nuts, how many more "celestial beings" would appear on the field?

At least with IMP, the ultimate veteran, Luo Ji thinks he should still be able to dominate half of the AD carries in the LPL.

at the same time.

Magic City.

At the company that Luo Ji had listed, the employees he had previously recruited began to move in and quickly got things running.

Just today.

When V5 finally defeated WBG 2:1, the hall erupted in uncontrollable cheers and jubilation.

"Awesome! Boss is awesome! Seven consecutive wins, right?"

"Golden Road, V5, it's a pity that the boss played too steadily in the third game. If we could see the boss and TheShy showing off their skills in all three games like in the second game, that would be great."

"Speaking of which, we've been working for so long now, when is the boss going to come to the company for a visit? I'd like to get his autograph while I'm at it."

"They're working hard to earn money for us. We've never even met them, and their salaries have already gone up twice. This kind of amazing boss doesn't even need to come to the company; we can go there for team building!"

As Luo Ji's most loyal subordinate and fan.

The group of employees recruited from Xiamen University have shown unimaginable drive in the new company. The combination of a fan effect, a conscientious boss, and a living benefactor (a 35-year-old employee who was laid off) creates a level of admiration that cannot be described by ordinary superior-subordinate relationships.

"Sister Xuanxuan, has the boss said when offline viewing will be allowed?"

Watch and watch.

The flames successfully reached Lu Xuanxuan.

Lu Xuanxuan pursed her lips, turning her gaze away from the screen, thinking that offline viewing wouldn't be able to resume so quickly.

Let's not even talk about you guys.

She herself hadn't seen her boss for quite some time and was thinking of an excuse to sneak over for a meeting.

But he said:

"I don't know. There must be a reason why the boss hasn't said anything. We just need to do our best in our work."

If it weren't for managing the business while also taking over Luo Ji's official account...

She still gets a response when she reports to him every day; otherwise, she would almost suspect that her boss has forgotten he owns a company.

I thought about it.

She also took the initiative to contact a senior from her school with whom she had a good relationship.

I asked in a private message:

"Senior, senior, how can I get my boss to focus more on the company?"

Senior:?
Senior: Are you alright?
