My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 357 You still have room for improvement. (jpg)
V5's counterattack round.

On the field, even after Luo Ji had used various control skills, his positioning still blocked Aphelios from time to time.

Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly.

In reality, even if he had a really good chance to throw a big ball, he would already be unable to reverse the current situation.

After all, he only has one set right now, and Aphelios with only one set deals extremely low damage.

But nevertheless.

His former teammate's Sion on the other side was still playing a tight defense, not giving him any chance.

Instead.

It is the terrifying Jinx who can run around the field after triggering her passive by getting kills.

"Can it be controlled? Can it be controlled?"

"Without crowd control, who can force him out of position and prevent him from having too much of a comfortable output?"

"369?"

"Fuck that bastard Sion!"

369 was already charging forward, but what immediately blocked his way was Luo Ji's [Alchemy Jar], which was aimed at his inevitable path with a charged Q attack.

harm?

Not much.

But as long as you dare to move forward.

This charged Q will definitely knock you into the air. There's no way he can do anything but forcefully use W to continue pushing forward.

But if a Gwen is forced to use her W simply because of Sion's Q skill.

Then
This Gwent no longer possesses the ability to pose a threat to the V5 backline.

"Indeed, compared to Mebius, everyone else seems inadequate."

In Bengi's words.

The T1 players nodded frantically, like chickens pecking at rice.

I initially thought Mebius was just playing tanky and getting by, but looking at his performance in the team fight just now, it's hard to find a more mature response than his.

in the screen.

Unable to catch Jinx, the rest of JDG players began unleashing damage in a fit of rage, which made T1's support Keria feel something was off.

"Even though they can't win, why is JDG still unwilling to run away and preserve their strength?"

"It's probably because of their so-called courage."

Faker thought for a moment.

He gave a reason that he thought was possible.

Unlike the absolute composure of LCK, in LCK, if someone doesn't follow instructions, the coach will really punish them severely and put them on the bench, regardless of their fame. Even Faker almost got caught in a power struggle within the coaching staff back then.

But LPL is different.

LPL coaches often find it difficult to convince their players, as the players' personal will often outweighs the coach's arrangements on the field.

Bloodlust.

Let alone LPL players, there are a lot of players like this in the Chinese server as well.

Back when Anton raids were being launched, didn't a bunch of players shout, "I'd rather never have an Ancient weapon in my life than exchange beans for shame?"

just.

This kind of performance.

When compared to the T1 players, the evaluation is simply two words:
"madness."

On the playing field.

As Jinx relentlessly reaped the rewards from the enemy Ruler, the clarity and calmness in her mind were like a deep lake, quietly soothing her moving hands.

Afterwards.

He even transformed into Beethoven, constantly striking the keyboard with both hands to create symphonies.

Their flawless fundamentals transformed into a series of terrifying basic attacks, relentlessly reaping the lives of the remaining JDG players.

Double Kill!

Triple Kill!

Quadra Kill!

Only at the very end, realizing something was wrong, did Knight hastily run away, thus avoiding the fate of being wiped out by Ruler alone.

But nevertheless.

With two kills at the start and four more now, Ruler has a total of six kills, making him a formidable boss in the Rift.

"Then it's over."

"With a Jinx who gets six kills in less than twenty minutes, I honestly can't think of any hope that JDG has of turning the game around right now."

Even the commentators who are always "objective and fair," believing that fair opponents can gain a small advantage while they themselves will never lose, have to admit that JDG probably has no way to reverse the situation.

Too fat!
A Jinx with six heads means that she can immediately get her two core items during this recall, and even later, during the Dragon Soul team fight, she might be able to fight with three core items against two.

then.

His teammates are still Sion, Poppy, Annie, and Tahm Kench, a team with incredibly strong utility.

【send! 】

[Congratulations in advance to V5 for advancing to the winners' bracket!]

The combination of WoMeng and Ruler is still a bit too overpowered in the LPL. WoMeng didn't even play to his full potential; he was just coasting through this BO5.

[I couldn't hold it in anymore. If I covered the ID, I almost thought I was watching RNG from S8 and S9.]

There was no room for complacency.

After a huge defeat in a team fight, every subsequent team fight was a terrifying offensive by V5, as if they were destroying everything in their path.

Jinx's damage is too high.

V5 only needs to initiate a team fight; with just a couple of auto-attacks, his passive ability can be easily triggered.

Under Tamboby's protection.

Monkey and Luo will find it increasingly difficult to find another opportunity to successfully drive into the back row of V5.

When economic advantage is transformed into equipment advantage, equipment advantage into vision advantage, vision advantage into resource advantage, and resource advantage into team economy.

A positive cycle in the canyon was thus created so simply. A few minutes later...

As V5, bathed in the Dragon Soul, once again protected Ruler as they charged onto JDG's high ground, what the audience saw next was the entire JDG team rushing out like moths to a flame.

3:1
The animation of the crystal shattering played on the screen.

Xiao Yan took off his headphones in a daze, and the moment he looked up, the bright incandescent light above him almost blinded him.

How to express it?
Having enjoyed the fruits of victory all year, he finally experienced the frustration of being one step behind this year.

really
Still very unwilling.

As a player who graduated from V5, he never considered leaving the team to prove his abilities.

But the reality is.

Only by standing in the opposite position can one truly feel how terrifying one's former teammates are on the field.

Turn around and look.

His teammates around him were also completely bewildered; clearly, they hadn't recovered from the defeat on the field.

Xiao Yan:.
Everyone's expressions are so serious.

Before the match, everyone seriously believed that with their hard work over the past six months, they should be able to compete with V5 for the championship, or at the very least, fight to the fifth game.

But in reality.
I apologize, everyone.

Unlike JDG, V5's Ruler was already surrounded by his team's mid, jungle, and support the moment he won the game.

Despite before the match.

They had anticipated this possibility of winning the championship.

But when it actually arrived, the inexplicable surge of uncontrollable joy and excitement still made them subconsciously want to hug something after winning the game.

In fact, Weiwei's initial target was Luo Ji.

But Luo Ji is a very shrewd person.

Just before the crystal exploded, Weiwei grabbed a water glass from the table and, looking at the steaming rim, chose the unsuspecting Ruler Emperor, who was further away.

Winners' Bracket Champion?

Do not!
With time being tight, the schedule packed, and all teams unfamiliar with the current version, the few extra days the winner of the upper bracket has to study the version have almost determined who will be the champion of this year's Spring Split.

"Everyone."

"Line up, don't keep the other side waiting."

In the LPL professional arena, the winning team needs to go to the losing team to bump fists as a sign of respect for their opponents.

The earliest example is probably the StarCraft game next door, which pre-defined a series of procedures, requiring the loser and the winner to shake hands and bow to show that "the competition is secondary and friendship is primary."

Then it was copied by a makeshift team.

During natural disasters, they switched to a fist bump. Before the change, some teams were fined for not bowing. The core issue is the standardization of procedures.

In the LPL, however, there's an additional bowing gesture after the fist bump.

of course.

There is only one player in the entire LPL who does not participate in this process, and that is Bin, who suffers from lumbar sclerosis. He doesn't even bow, and he often avoids fist bumping with his opponents, which is one of the reasons why he has such a bad reputation.

Backstage.

After exchanging fist bumps, the two teams gathered together again.

"Congratulations, invincible V5!"

"Why all the nonsense? If you're truly invincible, how about you let me off the hook at the dinner party tonight?"

"That won't do. I can't beat you on the field, but can't I at least beat you once off the field?"

"That's right. If you can't drink, please move the child to the table. If the child refuses, the child can have fun with the dog. If the dog also dislikes it... then you'll have to go home."

this will.

Having recovered from their defeat, the JDG team members adjusted their mindset and congratulated V5.

They suddenly realized something.

This year's MSI has two tickets. Even if they can't beat V5, surely they can beat BLG or even EDG?
Thinking of this.

The group, who had been somewhat dejected, suddenly regained their motivation for the competition.

"Speaking of which, do you guys have any tricks up your sleeve? If you don't mind, share some with me."

"That won't do, we still have one round of matches to play."

"Don't be so stingy. You guys have given us a few more days to research the version. Who can beat you in the Spring Finals?"

"If you say it won't work, then it won't work. Go figure it out yourself. Do you think finding the answer to a version of the problem is that easy?"

Luo Ji laughed and scolded, refusing the other party's greed.

Then he exclaimed:
"but."

"You guys are really enviable."

"In less than a season, they've managed to elevate a team that barely made it to the point where they can compete for an MSI spot. They're all incredibly strong, like monsters."

Luo Ji said this.

369 suddenly spoke with a strange expression: "Do you think someone like you has the right to say such things?"

"why not?"

Luo Ji looked up in surprise.

"The mid laner initiated the team fights, the support protected the players, the jungler set the pace, and the bot lane carried the game. I did nothing; I was just an ordinary top laner who got beaten up."

"And you see."

"Your team has made great progress this year, and there is still room for improvement, but our team's performance has regressed compared to last year. Isn't that enough to prove us right?"

JDG members: ? ? ?
You have absolutely no shame!

If you were undefeated in the regular season last year, and lost two BO3s in the regular season this year, is that considered a regression?
"Next time, I'll definitely teach you a lesson for your ugly victorious face."

369 said through gritted teeth.

"Ah."

"I"

"Wait and see."
