My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 388 The Divine Move of the Omega~
The match has entered the break time for the third game.

Until now.

The T1 lounge was now eerily silent.

Regarding their loss in the third game, they could say that V5 outmaneuvered them with their strategies and ingenuity. However, from the coach's perspective, their biggest problem was that Xiao Lu Bu's performance wasn't hot, while Ruler on the other side was playing extremely well.

The matchup between Jinx and Aphelios in the bot lane is always a 50/50 affair.

You can see it from the playback.

Even if Luo Ji and the others really don't pay attention to the bottom lane, the bottom lane still maintains lane dominance.

There's really nothing we can do about Bengi.

Professional players' touch is so magical; sometimes it comes when they feel it, and sometimes it just won't. Xiao Lu Bu is almost notorious for his poor performance at MSI, so what can he do?
Let Little Lü Bu come down.

Do you sit in a gaming chair and go play in the competition yourself?

Is the head coach warming up?
That's clearly impossible.

Think about it.

So, we had no choice but to take an unconventional approach.

Bengi frowned, then turned his gaze to Zeus.

Zeus, who had been looking forward to this for almost half a year, actually didn't want to keep playing tank heroes. He only chose this option because Mebius on the opposing team was doing it too.

“Yuqi, it’s far from time for you to settle things with Mebius.”

"This version."

"You should know this."

Zeus looked at his face and nodded.

In fact, he didn't need the coach's advice. When he saw that the opposing top laner had picked the same utility top laner as him for three consecutive games, he already knew in his heart that this was not the time for them to decide the outcome.

1v1 solo matches are certainly important.

But friendship ultimately has to take a backseat to the competition.

Seeing that Zeus did not refute, Bengi then looked at the other team members and opened the official live stream.

it's here.

The camera was focused on the huge crowd of spectators, including many T1 supporters with red flags.

"did you see that?"

"In any case, we have come this far, carrying all the hopes of LCK."

"I know that a score of 1:2 will make you all feel nervous, but please don't give up. The game is not over yet, and we still have hope to continue."

There's an old saying across the street: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate." Think about it carefully.

"Have you really done your best?"

V5 here.

It's also halftime.

The difference is that only FOFO and Weiwei experienced the most pressure during the entire break, but there is no doubt that the MSI version is actually more favorable to them than the T1 version, V5.

Because of the current version.

The mid laner is usually Annie, or the team composition is built around Ahri.

These heroes can set the pace of the game, but they can't carry. Unlike champions like Azir, Sylas, or Orianna, everyone has to be on high alert whenever Faker picks one.

can only say.

In an effort to target the top lane, the designers boosted the bottom lane, but they went a bit overboard.

"Don't worry,"

Nofe walked up to FOFO, his expression quite relaxed:

"Even if they're on the brink of elimination, T1 won't pick any carry champions for Faker in the next game. That's the characteristic of LCK teams. They play whatever the meta is, and even when they're in dire straits, they still believe that the problem lies in their own details."

"They won't make any major changes when things get desperate."

Just like GENG.

When FLY forced them into the fifth game at the World Championship, didn't they also bring out the team's most proficient Xuanwu Formation Little Fire Dragon system?

This is the kind of education they received.

That means when things aren't going well, you should only use the system you're best at, rather than the hero the player is best at.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be that one," Luo Ji said.

“Yes, that’s the only one.” Nofe nodded.

In the team.

The others stared at them, completely bewildered.

Why are you all speaking in such a cryptic way? Can't you just say it directly? But faced with everyone's doubts, Luo Ji kept his mouth shut, insisting that he dared not speak loudly for fear of alarming the world.

soon.

With the start of the fourth game.

The Haier Brothers reappeared on the commentary stage.

Wawa: "It's 2:1 again. I should mention that so far, V5 has a 100% success rate in winning the fourth game when the score is 2:1."

Miller: "The main problem is the immense pressure. V5 is known for its unconventional tactics, while LCK hates anything unpredictable on the field. It's almost a style counter."

People who only know rigid, step-by-step techniques.

If you suddenly run into a master of technique like Kenji Shimizu, you're bound to explode.

this will.

The most excited people weren't even the audience and commentators, but the players from all walks of life in the LPL league.

joke.

Even Weiwei, FOFO, and Jwei were carried into MSI by 2-3, and they almost won the finals. If it were them, wouldn't they have a smooth ride all the way to the World Championship?

Thinking of this.

Many professional players were so envious of Gil that he turned purple.

But there was nothing that could be done.

Currently, V5's recruitment process is completely dominated by Luo Ji, with the V5 boss not caring at all.

Just like TES. The whole team only needs to ensure that JKL is there. He alone is the epitome of popularity, and everyone else is just an add-on. They can do whatever they want with him.

soon.

In the fourth round, both sides selected their lineups.

Because they were on the brink of elimination, T1's draft picks focused on the bottom lane, leaving almost all the heroes in other lanes exposed.

A round of ban:

T1: Lulu, Xayah, Jinx
V5: Annie, Ashe, Varus
A round of PICK:

T1: Caitlyn, Spider, Lux
V5: Zeli, Cat, Zach

"Did you see it?"

"It should be said that it was predicted, otherwise V5's BP would not have turned out like this."

GENG also arrived home by plane.

Seeing the sudden improvement in the drafting and banning strategies of both sides in the fourth game, everyone fell silent.

V5's response time is incredibly fast.

Judging from the bans on Ashe and Varus, it seems that they anticipated T1 would use their signature champions during the break.

Female police officer system.

T1 was somewhat caught off guard. Zephyr is a counter to Caitlyn. With the movement speed provided by Yuumi and the AD carry, Caitlyn's Q will almost never hit Zephyr if the enemy is normal. T1 originally planned to use two AD carries in the bot lane to maximize lane priority.

result.

With Ashe and Varus gone, picking other AD carries isn't impossible, but theoretically none are as suitable as Lux as a support.

Especially Zach, the third pick.

Zac may seem like he doesn't do much damage, but he's actually incredibly good at counter-ganking. They picked Elise specifically for tower diving.

This is Zach.

This made Bengi somewhat hesitant, but since the lineup had already been set, he could only continue.

Second round bans: Jayce, Vi, Rumble, Kennen

In their fourth move, V5 directly picked up the crocodile.

The Caitlyn system is simple in a way: it consists of a mid-laner with lane priority in the early game and a jungler with tower-diving ability, paired with Caitlyn and a lane-clearing support. The goal is to protect Caitlyn, help her secure tower plates and first tower kill, and then farm peacefully until Caitlyn has three core items to take over the game.

Following this line of thought.

T1's mid-laner should be the one who selects lane priority.

After hesitating for a while, T1 first picked Quesanti in their last two picks, and then, after much deliberation, chose Yone as their final pick.

"Yone?"

"Is this for Zeus to play with?"

"It's hard to say. Even with confidence, there's a limit to how confident you can be when choosing Yone over a crocodile."

Yone has only one way to fight Renekton: bring Exhaust and go all in to trade damage. But this is a competition; you can't afford to bring Exhaust when you leave the game.

At the same skill level, Yone would only get utterly crushed by the crocodile.

but
"Since we've already been tricked, let's just treat it as a gamble and see who wins."

V5's last move.

As expected, the Troll King has been successfully locked on!

So far:

T1: Top lane Yone, Jungle Elise, Mid lane Quesant, Bot lane Caitlyn + Lux

V5: Top lane Renekton, Jungle Zac, Mid lane Trundle, Bot lane Zarya + Yuumi
This lineup was revealed.

T1 will have to worry about how to switch lanes in the mid and top lanes right from the start.

If Yone faces the crocodile, or Quesanti faces the troll, they might as well just call them out.

This lane is unplayable.

[Troll!?]

[This was definitely Mebius's suggestion. Trolls are relatively unpopular right now, but this thing would be a guaranteed kill against Quesanti.]

Whether before or after Quesant uses his ultimate, as long as Troll uses his ultimate, Quesant's armor will become as thin as paper. No matter how fancy your build is, it's a hard counter!

[Fun fact: Even Olaf has to temporarily retreat when facing a troll who can stand and fight.]

coming!

Again!
My inner lid is a divine touch~
Even FOFO couldn't help but laugh. He admitted that his skill level was far inferior to Faker's, but wasn't this version designed purely to allow him to win against stronger opponents?
Whether it's a crocodile or a troll.

They're all numerical monsters.

The difference is that one is an obvious numerical monster, and the other is a hidden numerical monster. He can play either one, and he finds them both very easy to play.

Unless you intentionally feed the enemy, this is definitely an "unexpected hero" who narrows the gap in strength between you and your opponent.
even.

Aside from its poor wave clear, the troll has almost no weaknesses against tanky champions, making it practically the bane of tanky champions.

And more importantly...

This choice made the audience suddenly realize that, indeed, this thing could be used to punish the currently hot top laner Quesanti in the league.

"We have to switch lanes at the start of the game."

Just before stepping down.

Bengi could no longer maintain his composure and even broke down a bit.

Their female police officer system is T1's most reliable and trump card tactical combination. They even gave Zeus Yone and Xiao Lu Bu female police officer in an attempt to see if they could awaken their skills.

结果
The opposing team guessed everything correctly and had prepared countermeasures in advance. Looking at their lineup, apart from their poor wave clear ability, it was hard to imagine how they would lose a team fight.

Troll?

Can you guys play something that's strong in this version?!

at the same time.

Nofe also instructed Luo Ji and FOFO not to rush to the lane at the start of the game, but to target T1's lane opponent. If they like playing Yone, they should let him lane against Renekton.

Can't you beat him to death?
