My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 382 Giving the opposing team's top-ranked player a perfect defeat

V5 will have a three-day gap between the winners' bracket final and the final MSI final.

these three days.

The entire League of Legends community is engulfed in heated discussions about the MSI loser bracket, including some discussions about Luo Ji's low-budget "ground fire" moment.

of course.

The discussion focused more on the regret of JDG's narrow defeat.

as well as.

The outcry against Xiao Yan after he revealed his strength.

Just like Ghost King who won the championship back then, Xiao Yan won the championship in a similar way. Neither of them were particularly talented players, but they were both known for their ability to generate buzz.

One man, with a thousand silver coins, suddenly understands the truth; another, fortunes change every thirty years.

But in essence.

They all relied on their teammates to successfully achieve this honor, but they themselves did not possess the strength to match this honor.

So it's only natural.

He was heavily criticized online. LPL viewers are very realistic; there's no such thing as "Don't worry about losing, true love will always be there" for him.

They praise when they win and criticize when they lose, especially when they lose in international competitions.

Since Xiao Yan joined V5 last year, he has never encountered such a scene before. It seems that overnight, the entire Internet is full of voices calling him a "fake" or a "noob," which is somewhat unbearable for him.

"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to the online noise."

Luo Ji was on the phone with him.

It wasn't that he wanted to comfort her on his own initiative, but rather that she called him first. It's rather strange to have a long phone conversation with a grown man, but since she was his former teammate, Luo Ji couldn't just leave her alone.

"Have you been cyberbullied before?"

"That's not true."

Luo Ji shook his head and said:

"I've just fantasized that if I become rich one day and get criticized like this by online viewers, I won't be angry, because no matter how much they criticize me, it won't affect the fact that I earn several million a year."

"As long as you treat other people's slander against you as part of your job."

"The money is in hand."

"Naturally, they wouldn't care about those so-called noises."

Xiao Yan:.
It's fair to say that this is quite true of human nature.

Thinking about the high-priced contract JDG offered him, he actually felt a little better. Others were saying the words, but he was the one receiving the money. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that he could indeed ignore the outside noise.

Xiaohu's performance in the World Championships over the years has always been criticized, but does that affect his ability to make it to the World Championships every year and earn a high-salary contract?
Does not affect.

It even earned the title of "the longest stream in LPL history".

This is reasonable. (jpg)
even
It's not just Xiao Yan.

Actually, quite a few people had private messages with themselves before the match.

Besides those who care about him, there are also some professional players who clearly want to build a good relationship with him and are waiting to see if they can make a "lightning-fast landing" in the transfer zone in the second half of the year.

After all, everyone already knows.

If you want to join V5, submitting your resume is one thing.

But whether V5 wants someone depends mainly on whether Luo Ji agrees.

The gap between V5's mid and jungle players is currently very large and visible. You have Karsa as your jungler, but you don't have a substitute for the mid lane, right?

then.

We receive a lot of information about mid-lane players.

So much so that when he complained about it to Laoqiang, Laoqiang responded with nothing but schadenfreude.

[Lock Gun: Now you know how miserable I was back then. After that one case, I was even ambushed when I went to the bathroom. These guys are just too damn eager to improve.]

[Luo Ji: Indeed, everyone's clamoring to join on a minimum salary, to be rotated in the starting lineup, and even to apply to be a substitute. When I joined the team, I wasn't as willing to give as they are.]

In a private chat.

The one who was most willing to contribute, even the world-famous Little Cream, was the one who offered to join and participate in rotations on a base salary.

but
As a time traveler, Luo Ji decisively declined the offer after considering what kind of person this guy would be in the future and how he would perform on the field.

FOFO is just bad, but he has a good attitude and can play a lot of heroes, so he can cooperate with the team's various tactics; but if it's Xiao Nai Rou, the jungler will not only be tied to protecting the mid lane, but the team's tactics will also be reduced to only one or two.

impression.

Aside from the small cannon, this thing really doesn't have anything else to offer.

Even those who call themselves AKL masters.

He also made some laughable plays on the field, and was completely outmatched by the opposing AKL in lane, which was really hard to believe.

5 month 21 number.

The most important BO5 match between Luo Ji and Ruler Emperor has finally arrived.

For Luo Ji, he needs this victory to keep the hype going and make the launch of V5 easier and more profitable, so that he can cash out his shares at a high price and leave the market on the day of the launch.

It's impossible to hold shares.

I'll never hold shares in this lifetime.

League of Legends is experiencing a false sense of prosperity. While the competitions naturally attract a large audience, the game itself, starting with Valorant, has been frequently targeted by third-party platforms, and its popularity has steadily declined since the release of Triangular Ark.

Rather than holding onto these stocks and letting them rot in your hands, it's better to sell them at a high price from the start.

Not to mention the Emperor of the Ruler.

He was going all out to prove his mental illness and avoid military service. Otherwise, if he were to actually be drafted into the army, he was afraid he might not be able to keep his virginity.

The day.

The three commentators responsible for the match were Wang Duoduo, Zhao Junri, and Gugu, a classic lineup of one damage dealer, one support, and one decorative figure.

This year's MSI went by so fast, it's almost over.

Everyone's making way for the Asian Games. Yesterday, I watched the Korean online forums, and they were already chanting throughout the stadium for Ruler to come back for the Asian Games.

[If I had to pick positions, I'd definitely pick V5 here. In the mid lane, Wanwan might pick FOFO and Karsa, and with Ruler already picked, V5 would be completely wiped out?]

[What is the designated partner of the Asian Games team (doge)] Although the list has not been released yet.

However, the most likely candidate for each region is undoubtedly the strongest player at the moment. You can just look at the performance of the major teams at MSI to make a guess, and it will be pretty accurate.

Before the competition even officially started.

The V5 team, operating backstage, had already caught T1 off guard.

During the semi-final match against GENG.

V5 chose Karsa as their main pick and executed many well-coordinated plays, leading T1 to mistakenly believe that Karsa would be their main pick in the finals. As a result, they began to study Karsa's playstyle and habits intensively before the match.

结果
The night before the match, the first main player you announced was Weiwei!?
"What a cunning fellow."

"This must be a bad idea that Mebius came up with."

"Ok?"

How did you know? Did he tell you secretly?

For an instant.

All of T1's attention was focused on Zeus.

"That's not the case."

He shook his head and continued, "Whatever it is, just put the blame on him first, and you won't go wrong."

"???"X4
finals.

There will be an opening ceremony at the beginning.

simply put:
A bunch of visuals that ordinary people wouldn't appreciate, along with bizarre performances and classic black rap, made it a classic among classics of the opening ceremony.

During the opening ceremony, both teams stood backstage, ready to log in.

Such a close distance.

Zeus found it hard to hold back his words.

“Mebius, I have prepared a lot of things in advance for this day.”

"Ok?"

Luo Ji looked over with a hint of suspicion and asked:

"So, are these things you mentioned just for me, or do all the other contestants receive them?"

Zeus: “?”

Luo Ji: "?"

"This guy's reverse psychology isn't working very well."

Bengi let out a deep sigh.

The ill intent on the other person's face was practically written all over their face, but Zeus just happened to fall for it.

The match hadn't even started yet, and they were already itching to fight.

Fortunately.

As the song ended, both teams began to climb onto the stage and walk out of the tunnel, greeted by cheers and shouts from more than 10,000 spectators.

Followed by.

The team members took the stage one by one, and the host introduced them one by one.

Finally, the pre-match vlog begins.

in the past.

Because it was an internal regional competition, the pre-MSI vlogs this year felt extremely perfunctory, as if the two teams just chatted casually, showed their faces briefly, and then it was over.

The main reason is that MSI has become the finals of the human region, which has reduced the level of discussion and the entertainment value has dropped significantly.

And
The players barely had time to film videos; they were all busy playing matches.

But in this life.

Everyone knows about the competition between T1 and V5.

then
Zeus: League of Legends is a turn-based game. Last year, we suffered defeat in this game. This year, we're back to change the outcome of this game.

Faker: This year, our identity has changed a lot compared to previous years. Our team members are not villainous demon kings, they are also our warriors.

Ruler: I still remember having a lot of fans during the S7 World Championship, but I haven't won any significant honors since then.

Mebius: The equation for victory has already been written. It's not that we are striving for victory, but rather that victory will come to us on its own.

Even though the vlog is still short.

This time, with the added hype of two major regions clashing, the vlog recordings clearly showed a greater level of seriousness.

Compared to the vlogs from the World Championship, it lacks some of the big-scene moments.

[To summarize T1's pre-match vlog: The best teams don't win in the first year.]

It was obvious that T1 lacked their usual domineering confidence during interviews. Were they feeling the pressure?

[This Zuse is probably Nan Tong; the way he looks at Mebius is practically drooling.]

Others suffer from unrequited love, while he yearns for more but cannot win; he's almost driven mad by defeat. This is what a true nemesis is like.

Everyone can learn something from this vlog.

From the contestants' few words, one could sense their unwillingness to accept defeat and their greed for victory.

in history.

In the LPL, only V5 has ever defeated T1 in the World Championship, and in the MSI, besides EDG, the only team that has ever defeated T1 is BLG, who was eliminated and didn't even make it to MSI.

Regarding this achievement.

Luo Ji was also full of confidence and couldn't help but say:

“Every time I face T1 in the finals, it feels like I’m playing a game. They are the final boss, and I am the one who is replaying the boss and trying to collect every item dropped by the boss, activating one new achievement after another.”

"so?"

"Since the other side is cooperating so well, how about we give our top-ranked player a perfect defeat achievement as well?"
