My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 355 Be confident, and be a miracle worker!

"V5! V5's top, mid, and jungle coordination was incredibly creative!"

"The top laner's ultimate made Knight unconsciously move lower, Poppy ambushed in the bush and initiated with zero frames, pushing Ahri back to a dangerous position in the middle of the lane. Annie then used her passive to provide crowd control. V5 played mind games this time!"

"Can Knight escape? No, V5's control chain is too full. FOFO successfully took the kill."

"Wait!? Why is Sion still running downhill?"

Commentary desk.

The Haier Brothers stared in astonishment at the screen in front of them.

Put yourself in Sion's shoes.

Even though you lost lanes after a big gank, at least you succeeded, so you made a profit. But after ganking, you didn't go back and instead continued down the lane.

What kind of thought process would lead to such a decision?
V5's intention to move downhill was completely undisguised, and Ruler showed no fear at all when he saw his teammates on their way.

With a 2/0 start, he was already pushing the lane and putting pressure on the enemy. With the support of his teammates, he was able to focus all his attention on the laning phase without any pressure.

On the contrary, it was Kanavi.

Suddenly I'm too scared to go online.

"Sacrificing his own development to protect the bottom lane and secure turret plating? His understanding of sacrificing himself like this is indeed somewhat unusual."

Redmi was already numb outside the arena.

From God's perspective.

He could tell that Luo Ji wasn't mindlessly protecting the bottom lane, but rather that the top lane 369 had already pushed the tower.

Go back at this time.

The lane had already been mostly cleared by the turrets, and because it was a pushback, the lane was heading towards JDG. Next, he would face a level 6 Gwen who had finished farming the turret plating and returned to base to upgrade his equipment.

It's impossible to win; there's even a risk involved.

And now.

Luo Ji chose to continue protecting Ruler in the bottom lane, which resulted in Ruler becoming even stronger. As a result, Sion's losses increased from a medium loss to a large loss, but it was still some distance from an extremely large loss.

As for why there was no small loss?
Because he is Teacher Luo.

But this kind of loss.

What he got in return was a super-rich bottom laner. He didn't know if Xiao Yan and Jwei on the other side were horrified by Luo Ji's actions.

But Coach Hongmi is most likely already breathing in his eyes in the locker room.

"Does Ruler eat this well in the LPL?"

GENG here.

The group of former teammates looked at the scene on the screen in disbelief.

I thought the finals would feature Mebius's incredible plays or some crazy antics, but instead, the entire BO5 series revolved around the bottom lane.

They really don't want to reveal anything at all!
"Not only that, I heard that Ruler earns close to 40 billion a year."

"Seize the young master!?"

根据泡菜国国税厅公开的2021年的税务申报，泡菜娱乐圈高收入群体的1%（77人），年收入总数为5156亿4500万韩元，人均收入为46亿1774万韩元。

In other words.

Ruler earned a salary comparable to top-tier Korean entertainment stars simply by virtue of his status as a professional League of Legends esports player.

of course.

Historically, the income of LCK esports professional players will gradually increase over the next two years, and will even continue to rise until S15.

But the price hasn't risen that dramatically yet.

So much so that when the group heard about this income, their first instinct was disbelief.

This wave.

Luo Ji did not completely reach the bottom lane.

Instead, he would go halfway, put enough pressure on the enemy jungler, and then recall in the river. After getting defensive items, he would TP back to the top lane to farm.

This wave of movement.

His top lane turret plating dropped by three layers, and 369 was eating so much that his mouth was practically dripping with oil, making Bin, watching from outside the screen, extremely envious.

But only a short while later.

Bin's expression changed from envy to disdain.

He discovered that 369 was genuinely not good at playing aggressive top laners. Despite having gained such a significant advantage in the laning phase, he still couldn't put much pressure on Luo Ji.

Yes.

369's weakness is that although he is stable in the laning phase, you need to get him to play aggressively.
Sorry, I really can't type it.

Do you expect a top laner who can't break through Sion's defenses with Kennen and AD builds, or who gets pushed out of the experience zone by Camille with Rumble, to play a fighter champion like that?

nonexistent.

At worst, Sion's health will be reduced, but he won't be forced to retreat to base. However, as long as Sion can continue to survive in lane, this laning phase will definitely be a failure on 369's part.

369 also has something to say.

What's the opposing top laner? What's his top laner?
To put it nicely, he's a hero counter to the opponent; to put it bluntly, the current top lane matchup is a bit like Zhao Yun versus Zhou Cang.

Did he not make a move?

No.

He left.

The scene looks something like this:

Yun was furious: The first shot

Yun was shocked: The second shot

Yun Dahai: The Third Shot

After three shots, the opponent not only didn't die, but also ran faster than his Jade Lion.

Zhao Yun: Is this a human?

Not to mention.

He wasn't the real Zhao Yun, and the opponent wasn't just Zhou Cang. With Luo Ji playing a lane where he wasn't greedy or reckless and only focused on last-hitting minions, 369 really couldn't find any opportunities to dominate the enemy lane.

Even when it came to the Vanguard Regiment.

Faced with V5's bot lane duo's initial push, JDG hesitated about whether to engage.

Theoretically speaking.

As long as they stall until their own bot lane duo arrives, the AD carry's impact on team fights in the early game isn't that significant. So where is the significant impact?

It was in the middle of Nakano.

JDG's champions, whether it's Gwen, Wukong, or Ahri, all rely heavily on their first Mythic item for damage. They only become effective in small-scale team fights once they get it, and they become useless without it. In contrast, V5's champions...

Poppy can hammer people away, Sion dies and has zombies, it seems like the top, mid and jungle don't do much damage.

In reality, once a fight breaks out...

It's all about losing players first, then having a fearless, reckless attacker who can revive a zombie and slap you repeatedly. You can't win a team battle like that.

"Let it go."

Missing said helplessly.

That's often how it is. Before the match, you only look at the draft and don't realize how powerful the opponent's lineup is. But once the match starts, you realize that this and that are all wrong.

Just like watching the "departure from the team" trope in Japanese anime, you only realize how important a top player is to the team after they've been kicked out.

With everyone's tacit approval.

The first vanguard was released again.

But Knight made a sound at the next rhythmic point.

He knew that V5 had secured the Rift Herald and would definitely be planning a push. He wasn't going to count on Jinx; with Tahm Kench guarding the area, even if he, Ahri, tried to dive in, he wouldn't be able to kill anyone.

That being the case.

Then we shouldn't focus on team fights, but rather on the ability to seize opportunities.

At a time when V5 was clearly aiming to launch another offensive in the bottom lane, Knight directly controlled Ahri to walk towards the bottom river, while Kanavi hid in the dragon pit beforehand and placed a ward above the dragon pit through the wall.

This is not his playing style.

But with the situation already so unfavorable, even he had to resort to unconventional methods.

FOFO was indeed fooled.

If the bottom lane starts making a big move, he naturally has to move in the mid lane. And since the enemy Ahri is openly going down, he has to follow suit.

Knowing that the fox was within sight, he carefully walked while holding the passive FOFO.

No matter what.

He was still ambushed.

The monkey used his ultimate to dash in from the wall at maximum range, and the fox immediately used her ultimate to close the distance after the jungler made a move.

FOFO unleashed a powerful attack with lightning-fast hand speed.

No matter what.

The fox is too agile.

In just one exchange, he immediately used his second ultimate skill to teleport away, successfully dodging the Fire Girl's ultimate skill. Then, he immediately used his third ultimate skill to return, maximizing his use of small skills.

skilled!

Online, Knight really couldn't do anything about FOFO, who was single-mindedly playing the turtle.

But once you roam around, without the protection of the turrets, Knight can really make a mess of things when he's playing against him. A brilliant teamwork also successfully took down FOFO in the jungle.

Even after the monkey paid the price, killing FOFO couldn't stop V5's advance.

But at least.

This wave of kills meant that V5 only managed to send out their Vanguard to ram into the enemy before hastily retreating, without doing anything further around the Vanguard. This was already a success for them.

"JDG's mid and jungle have stepped up!"

"They successfully anticipated and arrested the FOFO that wanted to provide support."

"A top-tier midfielder's ability to seize opportunities."

In the commentators' eyes, FOFO was actually very careful. He was watching the fox's position the whole time and moving towards the bottom lane step by step, but he didn't expect Kanavi to intercept him halfway.

of course.

Ultimately, it comes down to his lack of experience and poor reaction time.

This is no way.

V5's fans complained, but they were also somewhat understanding.

After all, you can't expect LPL mid laners to reach Dafei's level, or even the level of Right Hand. Looking back at the post-Original World, the only representative LPL mid laners you can see in international matches are No Smoke Toothpaste, Debt-ridden Thief, Laughing Milk Dragon, and Must-Eat Tiger.

That's all. Just make do.

"mine."

"Don't worry, this is considered normal tolerance for error. As long as Emperor Ruler doesn't cause any problems, it's fine."

"You're putting a lot of pressure on me by saying that."

"Not necessarily. If you're really under a lot of pressure, you should start fluent Korean right now."

Luo Ji chatted with Emperor Chi, his expression showing no sign of being affected by the single kill.

In their eyes, this is normal tolerance for mistakes.

The gank with the fox and monkey using all their ultimate abilities was just giving up a kill. Besides, Jwei couldn't save that position either. He didn't have Wind Spirit Moon Shadow and couldn't teleport, so how could he protect FOFO who was targeted?

"Don't worry about so many trivial things."

"Brother FO".

"Don't let one wave of arrests discourage you. Everyone will have a chance. You will, I will, and they will too."

Despite giving away their own opportunity and being caught, surprisingly no one in V5's team pressured FOFO, and even Ruler chose to remain silent.

It's not because he's of high quality.

It's not because he's incredibly fed, but because the mid-laner got caught while trying to get even fed, so how could he possibly blame FOFO? In fact, when listening to Luo Ji's words, he even had to take the initiative to say that what he said was right.

We must show confidence!

You're not coming.

How should I pressure the bottom lane?
I won't bet.

How to gain an advantage in the bottom lane.

Do not take an advantage in the bottom lane.

How do I win the match? How do I get MSI tickets? And how do I begin my revenge journey against GENG?
The connection continues.

Ruler was even considering waiting until a team fight broke out, then perhaps he could pause his attacks and let his mid-laner get a few kills.

arrangement!
