My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 369 Speaking from the perspective of someone who's been there

"Mebius!"

"Mebius's weapon absorbed a lot of damage for V5. He came out, then went back in, then came out again, then went back in again!"

"One team fight, two counterattacks, each time bringing a fresh experience!"

"Just tell me, can the C9 handle it?!"

Commentary seat.

The commentator responsible for this match, Ji De, once again entered his shouting mode.

The feeling is hard to describe. The weapon is no longer a kill-reaping machine that enters the fray later, but a inferior version of Zhao Yun that is directly exposed and forced to retreat three times.

Although it's not as exaggerated as the original Zhao Yun's seven entries and exits.

but.
It boosted his morale!

【666666】

[I've learned it! AP weapon? AP-slashing weapon! You can even use it like this.]

[Weapon: "Sorry for being so good at fighting"]

This build is pretty awesome. It gives you three lives, maximizes your survivability, and doesn't skimp on damage. It transforms the weapon from a traditional, clunky, stationary attacker into a highly mobile and kiting god.

Is this the main point? The main point is that the enemy team was surrounded by the Golden Body weapon and were also suffering from the magic resistance reduction debuff of the weapon's Abyss Mask. He was even helping to deal damage while in Golden Body.

The young LCS teams had never encountered such underhanded tactics before.

In this version.

The weapon is actually the weakest version, but even so, Luo Ji still managed to come up with a golden body fighting style.

One hand maneuvers and pulls.

Ruler and FOFO, who were completely unnoticed by the opposing team, were unleashing their full damage potential.

Watching the kill notifications appear one after another on the screen.

This time.

C9 was truly defeated.

In the ensuing team fights, Luo Ji replicated this strategy in almost every wave, though he did make mistakes along the way.

The key point is not whether he makes mistakes, but whether he can bait out the opponent's skills, allowing Ruler to deal damage without pressure.

A few minutes later.

As the final ACE was announced.

It's on the field.

The score of 3-0 was laid bare before the eyes of LOL esports viewers worldwide.

"The Light of North America, is that all?"

"I feel that they are indeed not as good as BLG and EDG in the region."

As the match ended, FOFO looked at the screen with a complicated expression. The 3-0 scoreline ended in a flash, leaving him with a sense of disappointment, as he had high expectations for MSI.

Come to think of it.

It's like those suckers who go offline to meet the streamers they sent expensive gifts to.

You'll often get a completely different person from the one on screen, since people turn on beauty filters, skin smoothing, big eyes, upturned nose, and face slimming effects when they live stream.

When you see it in person, all you'll want to do is open the scope and turn off the safety.

That's pretty much the mentality.

"Don't underestimate the teams from different regions. Even if they are weak, it's only temporary. Before the first year, the LPL region didn't actually have many champions. Back then, European and American teams were even strong opponents."

Luo Ji specifically pointed at his teammates.

Make sense.

It's not that these people from North America and Europe lack gaming talent, but rather that their gaming talent is mostly focused on FPS games.

For MOBA games...

The biggest problem is that there are many viewers but few players, and the promotion channels are narrow; otherwise, some genius teenagers could emerge.

Weiwei and the others naturally understood the meaning behind Luo Ji's suggestion.

He was clearly the youngest in the group.

For some inexplicable reason, everyone admired what he said, and even Emperor Rupert Julius Ernes ...

"By the way, who's going to do the post-match interviews?"

"I'm dreaming. Usually, the first game of MSI is played by a star player, right?"

"Wrong, Ruler is the real carry. Didn't you see I've already built Abyssal Mask and started playing casually?"

I don't want to go.

When it comes to post-match interviews...

As if influenced by Luo Ji, everyone's faces showed resistance, which greatly worried the backstage staff. Luo Ji, in order to avoid going himself, was even prepared to use the moral high ground to force Ruler to give the interview. Little did he know...

Nofe simply gave the staff member a subtle look, then casually spoke up:

"But today's host is said to be a very beautiful foreign woman."

"?"X5
finally.

The person who accepted the interview on behalf of V5 was Luo Ji, who had been chosen from the beginning.

can only say.

Upon hearing that it was a beautiful woman being interviewed, Luo Ji changed his expression extremely quickly.

Before the interview: I will wield the sharp blade of morality.

After the interview: I turned in the controlled knife.

result.

When he actually gave the interview, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled by Nofe again!
She's a real Western woman, and she's really beautiful, but the problem is, this is Sjokz!
If you don't know who Sjokz is.

Let's say that.

During the S10 TES vs. FNC match, she was the one opening champagne at halftime. Immediately after she finished, TES came back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2, and she also made a name for herself by making a "Little Yang Shengjian" (a type of pan-fried dumpling).

People are indeed good-looking when they are young.

It's now
It is true that the shelf life has passed.

Of course, she may have passed her prime, but the figure of this European and American woman is indeed amazing, and her demeanor is not at all as reserved as that of the LPL female hosts, but rather very poised and generous.

even.

Let's communicate.

You'll find that the person's high notes are accurate, their mid-range notes are sweet, and their low notes are deep—in short, clear and resonant!
After some pleasantries.

She finally asked the key questions she had prepared for a long time.

For example, "How to view today's opponents."

Today was their home game, and a 3-0 score would be dazzling for LPL, but for C9, playing on their home turf, it felt a bit strange to the audience. The main reason was that G2 also lost, which meant that North America and Europe couldn't beat Asia.

Luo Ji thought about it for a moment.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Actually, C9 is a very resilient team. You know, I usually only use my strategies against strong teams, such as T1 in last year's semifinals. If T1 had known my strategies back then and played another BO5, we might have been the ones who lost 3-1."

Hear this.

The C9 members, who had been secretly watching through the screen, finally grinned.

That's right.

At least they forced out a V5 strategy, didn't they?
While it wasn't as exaggerated as T1 forcing out three in a row, thinking about it carefully, not everyone is like someone from One Piece. After eating the God of Avoidance, I'm eating the Hegemon Kingdom. I'm the gluttonous Little Kid.

It's already quite an achievement to have forced one out.

What are the goals for this MSI?

"As for the goal."

This time, Luo Ji acted almost without hesitation:

"Our goal is naturally the championship. As professional players, we have come from afar to compete for the title of first place, and I believe that all the teams participating in the competition feel the same way."

In fact.

Luo Ji felt that this question shouldn't be asked of him, but rather of Zuo Shou. Unfortunately, due to his own reasons, Zuo Shou was unable to participate in this year's MSI.

Why ask him?
Because your left hand never lies!
His predictions about the team's performance have always been quite accurate. In S10, he said that reaching the semi-finals would be a success, and they did. In S12, when he collaborated with Chongqing Oguri Shun, he said that cutting his hair short would last about a month, and they really only played for a month in the group stage before going home. Before the start of S15, he said that reaching the top two would be enough, and they really did become runners-up. When they came to Canada, he said that the team was not in good condition and that they would go as far as they could, and they actually crawled to the semi-finals.

That wasn't a prediction anymore, it was like a setup.

As one of the most popular professional players right now, what advice would you give to those trying to pursue a professional gaming career?

The last question was completely unexpected for Luo Ji.

He knew he was very popular.

But they didn't realize they were so popular that even at MSI, they still felt incredibly famous when interviewed by teams from other regions.

But after much hesitation, he finally spoke:

"Actually, there is."

"I know that many young people have fantasies about becoming a professional player. After all, if you really have that talent, the League of Legends arena is indeed a convenient path to fame and fortune."

"But as someone who's been through it, I only have one thing to say to these people:"

"That means don't come any closer!"
