My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 370 You're slandering me!!!

The night after the game.

Luo Ji's post-match interview immediately went viral online.

Winning a game is one thing, but if you actively create hype and then turn around and discourage others from getting involved, that's really a bit too much.

It's just like Liu Qiangdong who doesn't know his wife is beautiful, Ma Huateng from an ordinary family, and Jack Ma who regrets creating Alibaba, directly making the audience's backs ache.

Can be biased.

This approach is correct.

To be fair, Ultraman Mebius really knows what he's doing.

I initially thought it would be another motivational speech about hard work, but it was so ridiculous it was off-putting.

[That's how esports works. Only about a hundred people can actually make money, but the competition is fierce. At least 30-50% of them have a bachelor's degree, and 6-7% come from top universities (958211). But if they make it professionally, it's hard to say, maybe even 1%.]

This is truly a wake-up call for humanity.

Even Casa didn't expect Luo Ji to say that in the interview, but when he thought about how Luo Ji had taken the initiative to get a student status at the University of Australia, he suddenly felt relieved.

Perhaps the most beautiful things are those we can't have.

Some people who aren't good at reading do indeed have a biased view of those who are.

I don't know.

Luo Ji didn't think that far ahead; getting a degree from the University of Macau was just a way to obtain residency and recruit some laborers.

After the game.

Luo Ji was indeed somewhat flattered by the C9 players who came to greet him, because they didn't come to the V5 training room, but came directly to Luo Ji's door.

He was so scared that he thought the other side was coming to fight offline because they couldn't beat them online.

结果
After a series of misunderstandings, he realized that these North American guys had come to exchange team uniforms with him, one for each of them, and ended up exchanging all the team uniforms that Luo Ji had brought.

"So, this is your reason for coming here to grab my clothes?" Kasa looked at Luo Ji with disgust.

"Since you're not playing any games for now, lend me a few things first, I'll return them to you when I get back."

"Then don't return it. It would be awkward for me to return it anyway."

can only say.

Whether it's the audience or the contestants, the online and real worlds are completely different.

Online, I wield my keyboard, transforming into a keyboard warrior, unleashing powerful attacks; offline, I cover my face with my hands, becoming a socially awkward person, timid and hesitant.

C9's actions naturally didn't escape the notice of netizens online, mainly because they didn't intend to hide it; they posted group photos on their respective Twitter accounts immediately after changing into their team uniforms.

"Good heavens, why is everyone asking me to swap dreams? Where are the other members of V5?"

JDG Club.

Xiao Yan asked curiously, only to be met with eye-rolls from his teammates.

"nonsense."

"Strictly speaking, this year's V5 team only has two players that are familiar to teams from other regions."

"One is Mebius, last year's S-series champion and FMVP, and the other is Ruler, the former star player of Samsung. How could they possibly know the other three? Just like you, would you pay attention to what ID Bjergsen's teammates have?"

Hear this.

Xiao Yan then realized what was happening, albeit somewhat dazedly.

To put it bluntly, you're not famous enough. People don't even bother to get to know you; they just go straight for the star players on your team. Exchanging team uniforms with Luo Ji is an honor for them, but for everyone else, except for Ruler, it seems like there's no need for that.

The main problem is that they lack recognition, so if they were to exchange partners, they wouldn't know how to brag.

Here.

V5 dominated C9, winning 3-0.
On the other side of the lower bracket, JDG also easily defeated GG.

With both LCS teams falling into the loser's bracket, the next step will naturally be an LCK internal battle in the upper bracket and an LPL internal battle in the lower bracket.

The losers' bracket, on the other hand, is packed with stars.

Four experienced newbies clashed, each trying to outdo the other. The competition featured both top-tier chefs and down-to-earth, everyday people, providing the audience with a top-notch experience that appealed to all tastes.

5 month 14 day.

The butterfly effect of this lifetime has finally arrived.

In the upper bracket, GENG, despite losing Ruler, unexpectedly fought their way through the competition and successfully pushed T1 into the lower bracket with a score of 3:2.

In the lower bracket, V5 lived up to expectations as always, continuing to crush JDG, who had easily won the playoffs, and sending them to join T1.

So far:

Winners' Bracket: GENG vs. V5
Losers' Bracket: Pluto Mayhem!

"No, can someone explain what it means to say that GENG took down T1?"

The moment the results for the two LCK teams were announced, the most desperate person in the entire arena was coach Nofe.

With limited time, heavy workload, and frequent matches, he only had time to study one LCK team, so it was only natural that he studied T1.
You tell me the result.

The opponent who advanced first was actually GENG?

Then all his previous preparations and research were for nothing!
"Thinking about it carefully, it's not all for nothing. What if T1 makes it out of the loser's bracket?" Luo Ji patted his shoulder to comfort him, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

Let alone Nofe.

Even he incorporated information from his past life, assuming that the winners should advance from the T1 bracket.

But they forgot.

The T1 players in MSI are unreliable. Every year during MSI, Lu Bu (a champion) is automatically downgraded from "God Lu Bu" to "Standard General" level, and the top laner Zeus is even more unreliable, showing no signs of playing dirty.

on the other hand.

Chovy, who was previously considered "unworthy" by Ruler, carried the team to victory in the internal battle, which angered Ruler even more.

Squeeze it!
If you had carried the team like this earlier, would I have had such a big problem with you?

He only exploded after his buddy left. What does that mean?
As soon as I leave, you pretend to be weak while secretly being strong, and you're putting on a show like "The Son-in-Law" or "After Three Years of Hidden Endurance, the Dragon King Returns" right here?

“Jwei, come with me to the RANK.”

"No, bro, we've trained enough today, bro."

"You think my skills will improve on their own, right?"

Jwei was on the verge of tears.

After GENG won, Ruler suddenly transformed into a tireless ranked superman, seriously violating the basic labor law for professional players.

How could a normal person's mind withstand such abuse?

See this.

He only thought about it for a moment before immediately starting to take an unconventional approach.

soon.

Jwei's "potential girlfriend," with whom he had been chatting, suddenly changed her tone after Chidi (the author) secretly arranged a meeting with Luo Ji (another author).

Not only did he take the initiative to show concern for Jwei's MSI journey, but he also subtly revealed his identity as a GENG fan.

They even made a baseless claim that if GENG won this year's MSI championship, he would have to attend a fan meeting organized by the GENG club.

How can I tolerate this?
Jwei exploded that night.

What Labor Basic Law? What fatigue? They don't exist. He won't experience any fatigue until he completely crushes GENG from the front.

They still want to win the competition and hold a fan meeting?

Go to the truck meet-and-greet!

For a while.

V5's bot lane duo seemed to be on drugs, and their training time was once the longest in the entire game.

"Isn't what we're doing a bit unethical?!"

After looking at the training volume of the bot lane duo, even Karsa felt that they had gone a bit too far, and said somewhat uneasily, "I have a feeling that things will get really ugly after he finds out the truth."

"Will not."

Luo Ji decisively shook his head and said:

"Strictly speaking, I did introduce him to a girlfriend. Although she wasn't the one in the video, she was pretty and much better looking than those so-called internet celebrity girls."

"Secondly."

"Who said we did this? It was clearly Emperor Chi who did it. I just helped out as he instructed. Don't you dare say such things, or I'll sue you for defamation, sue you for defamation, you understand?"

Casa:.
Now that the opponents in the winners' bracket have been determined.

Therefore, V5 naturally needs to do some basic research on the other party it is about to encounter, even if they are already some old acquaintances.

Doran, one of the most inconsistent top laners, was considered a good friend by many LPL viewers. However, after joining T1, he unexpectedly performed quite well, making him a Schrödinger's top laner.

Peanut, the jungler, has been a fixture in LPL's successes year after year. Because of one World Championship, he became inextricably linked with LPL's top laner, Langx. For LPL teams, the most classic saying is, "Success and failure both depend on Peanut."

Chovy, the mid-laner, has the strongest talent 88848. He has the skill but not the mentality, and he performs terribly in the most important matches.

The bot lane duo is Peyz and Delight, the crown prince who will succeed Ruler and Ruler's "ex-wife".

In a sense.

Emperor Chi can be said to have taken over Xiao Yan's script, but while Xiao Yan's fortunes changed every thirty years, Chi only needed three months to make a comeback, making his achievement neither particularly good nor bad.

After all, the top achievement is seven days, and Huo Linfei directly completed the national animation in a fast-track.

But that comes at a price.

On the first day, he was beaten by the Silver Lion; on the second day, by the Scorpion King; on the third day, by the Whale Shark King; and on the fourth day, he faced Ye Lingyun, Night Owl, and the fully equipped Cloud Bat Legion. On the fifth day, he was beaten by Hades and his gang, then sucked into the Xuanming Black Hole to fight Feng Yao.

He was whipped around like a spinning top for seven days before he gained immense strength.

If we use this as a reference...

That.
It's hard to say how strong Bin will ultimately become after mastering the Nine Yang (Sheep) Divine Skill in S15.

While V5 temporarily shifted its focus to studying GENG.

GENG here.

His expression was quite strange after he learned that he would be facing off against V5.

To put it bluntly, Ruler's departure is related to everyone, but GENG's performance in the past few years has also been largely linked to Ruler.

No matter what.

No one could have imagined that he could become more and more eccentric as he gets older.

In the minds of LCK players, going to a wildcard region is basically a way to tank and make big money. But if you go to LPL, don't even think about it, it's definitely because nobody in LCK wants you, so you went to LPL.

Don't be surprised.

No matter how high the salary LPL offers, LCK players really think this way. In fact, Chovy directly admitted this in an interview.

"Are we going to face off against V5?"

"It's terrifying. If you lose, you won't face a boss so quickly, but if you win, you'll immediately start the boss battle."

"This year's V5 probably isn't as strong as last year's. I don't really remember the other three players, except for the two side lanes."

"But they were also the LPL Spring Champions this year."

Last year's V5 on the Golden Road was too over-the-top.

It's so exaggerated that even if GENG were to face them now, they wouldn't have any intention of defeating them, but this year's V5? You think you can get revenge on GENG with this kind of lineup?
No incentives are needed.

Just as Ruler wanted to prove himself to Genius, Genius also wanted to prove to Ruler that he didn't need Ruler. So the result was obvious.

If the other person cannot provide you with emotional value.

That.
Get ready to provide nutritional value to others.
