My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 391 Heroes and villains in troubled times, who is the most valuable here?

"Is there a location for the spider on the other side?"

"I didn't see it, I didn't see it at all. Isn't the spider in the upper half of the area?"

"There's no Vanguard here. Be careful when you guys go back to lane in the bottom lane. I have a bad feeling about this."

"clear."

Whether in professional matches or in private friend queues, communication is always the most important thing. After receiving the message, Ruler almost kept looking back every few steps on his way back to the lane, and his cat would get off and get back on the bus from time to time, guarding against possible backstabbing from the shadows.

lounge.

Nofe and Karsa exchanged a glance and sighed almost simultaneously.

Ruler and Jwei have been very careful.

Instead of heading down the river, they retreated to their own jungle area and planned to take a detour to approach from below.

But just a second after he jumped over the wall...

Separated from their mid-tower by a wall in the jungle bushes, a white, extremely conspicuous line of grass shot out from within—the spider's E skill, Cocoon.

Caught off guard.

Ruler, who had no idea there would be anyone there, was directly controlled by the spider.

Oh no!
Almost immediately after the control skill hit, Lux's Q skill was used in sync.

The control provided by the cocoon and the Light Binding was enough for Faker, who had been approaching this place in advance, to successfully catch up. The only one who was not present was Xiao Lu Bu's Caitlyn.

His female police officer was just pretending in the bottom lane.

The goal was to give the other side false information, and clearly, they succeeded.

When Quesanti's charged W skill brought Zeli back, all Ruler could do was use Flash immediately, and Jwei's Yuumi also applied Exhaust.

But it didn't work.

The T1 jungler and support trio, who were well-prepared, were aiming to take down Ruler this time. You used Flash to go over the wall and into the tower.
Faker and Oner immediately used Flash to forcefully follow up.

Oner even flashed in first to tank the tower.

Despite the T1 mid and jungle duo taking turns tanking the tower, Ruler's Zephyr ultimately couldn't escape the duo's pursuit.

T1_Oner killed V5_Ruler
Jwei, a kitten forced out of Zeli's body, was left behind, trembling at the foot of the tower.

Fortunately, the T1 team was already in poor condition. Although killing the cat wouldn't take long, they decided to retreat as a precaution.

"We seized this opportunity."

"As expected of T1's mid and jungle, and Oner's Elise, their vision control is amazing."

In fact.

When V5 decided to move the Vanguard, Oner had already begun using Spider's E skill's unique ability to pass through walls, crawling forward to reach the bush.

This decision is quite radical.

Because you're not sure if the enemy has wards in the jungle, or if their AD carry will actually take this route when they return.

But he is Oner.

There's a story about a team in T1 where Faker said he wanted to play, Cuzz was still hesitating, Oner's Bloodthirster had already been triggered, and Doran had already died.

Although it's somewhat exaggerated, the meaning is very clear.

From the moment Faker suggested ambushing in the jungle, he was already prepared to sacrifice himself, just like Weiwei's Zac abandoning farming at level two to counter-gank.

In the face of victory.

Everyone can make sacrifices.

Oh, my ruler!

[Oner, stop carrying, it's scary to watch.]

[We were already on high alert, but who would have thought the spider could sneak in and get to this spot? That's unbelievable.]

[A horror game like this? I'd throw my mouse away by now.]

"mine."

Jwei scratched his head sheepishly.

Regardless of whose fault it is, in front of Ruler, who "introduces himself to a girlfriend," even if it's his fault, it's still his own. Jwei is very clear about this.

And he was right.

The weakness of enchanter supports is that they really don't dare to do vision control alone in many places. Lux at least has her E skill to scout, but if you wait for the missile to arrive, you'll have wasted all your time.

Luo Ji and the others remained silent.

Because at the same time.

They also launched an attack on Zeus in the top lane. With such a commotion in the bottom half of the map, it was impossible for the top half to remain indifferent, but Zeus seemed to have truly awakened.

Facing the encirclement of V5's top and jungle, especially Zac's initiation.

They relied solely on their reactions.

After dodging Zac's E with E and building up his Q to create space, he used the second E and the third WQ to displace and control the enemy, thus negating Luo Ji's Crocodile's W.

Followed by.

Flash away and escape in a big hemp car.

Although the concept behind the operation is a bit cowardly, the operation itself is undoubtedly pleasing to the eye.

This also means that V5's top lane loss and bottom lane gank occurred almost simultaneously, and their previously good momentum was suddenly disrupted by this incident.

Has the T1 from Desperate Situation finally started to exert its power?

"Strictly speaking, this wave is actually acceptable. V5 at least got the Rift Herald, so this wave is not a loss."

Commentary seat.

The duo is still putting in a lot of effort.

Wawa and Miller certainly knew that the biggest taboo against the T1 lineup was letting them get a good early game lead. They were doing well before, but now that this wave has come, it's hard to say how the situation will change.

"Although I know it's a bit inappropriate to say it like this."

"But normally speaking..."

"Given Ruler's performance this season, he could have avoided that cocooning phase just now."

off screen.

Uzi was also watching the MSI finals and spoke to Zz1tai and others who were on a live stream with him.

There is no reason.

Just because Ruler is the same type of player as him.

At his peak, although it may sound like a fantasy, he could actually dodge such predictive skills without any vision by reacting.

The reason why they didn't dodge.

perhaps
It must have affected Ruler to some extent because of the high physical and mental exertion.
Regardless, Ruler is already a veteran player in the esports arena. This time, he wasn't just dominating in the LPL league; he was facing off against the bot lane duo of Xiao Lu Bu and Keria.

By the fourth game, it was understandable that he couldn't maintain his focus throughout the entire match.

however.

Perhaps this counterattack helped T1 regain their composure, or perhaps Faker's return to the mid lane finally put the team's engine back online.

quickly.

The next wave of momentum for T1 is about to begin.

The biggest difference between Quesanti and Trundle in the mid lane lies in their wave clear ability. The mid lane is short, and Trundle's ultimate poses little threat to Quesanti. It can only be used as a countermeasure, i.e., when the enemy jungler comes to gank him.

However, poor wave clear ability in the mid lane means missing many opportunities, even though FOFO is working hard towards Tiamat.

However, compared to Quesanti's ability to clear lanes.

It still has a touch of humor.

Seizing this opportunity to push first, Faker abandoned the mid lane and began to apply pressure to the bottom lane. Together with Oner, they almost brazenly appeared in the bottom lane, driving Ruler and Jwei away from under the tower.

By the time V5 belatedly sent their support,

T1 has already been upgraded to Elemental Dragon.

They secured the second elemental dragon in the Rift, bringing the total number of dragons in the game to 1-1.
Luo Ji glanced at the minimap and immediately frowned.

can only say.

Their lineup might be good in team fights, but in some details, such as the Troll's wave clear and Yuumi's vision control, there is a noticeable difference compared to the opposing lineup.

It's not just T1 that's under offensive pressure.

They actually have that too.

Their pressure doesn't come from their roster, but from T1. In the World Championship, whether it's MSI or S-series, they're not afraid of T1 playing unconventional tactics, but they are afraid of T1 getting into a rhythm.

Once T1 regained their rhythm, a barrage of attacks was inevitable. And indeed it did.

Next, knowing that he was at a disadvantage in the early game, Faker started a massive roaming era in the bottom half of the Rift, almost abandoning the mid lane minions and frequently disappearing to the bottom lane, but not actually going down, just disappearing.

That's it.

That would be enough to put enough pressure on V5's bot lane.

Quesanti is a hero who doesn't really rely on the economy.

Play it like this.

Faker had almost no mental burden, but FOFO couldn't. He could only watch helplessly as the opponent put immense pressure on him. He wanted to learn and even wanted to put some offensive pressure on the opponent, but Faker completely ignored him.

"That's experience."

Nofe began.

Faker's understanding of map information, and his incredible screen switching that would make even a god-like perspective dizzy, provided him with enough information to control the balance between roaming and disappearing and returning to the horizontal line.

But this one.

It's something FOFO, who lacks talent, couldn't do.

Just like Qian Xuesen often lamented: "I have met countless people in my life, my teachers, classmates, friends, partners, students... even the dumbest one learned calculus at the age of 12. If I lower the bar a bit, 14 years old is about right!"

But most netizens...

Seeing his statement, all they could do was gape and say "Aba, aba".

This is talent.

In this playstyle, even though V5 is the team that should be taking the Rift Herald, the Rift Herald cannot be used to pressure T1's mid tower; instead, it must be placed in the bottom lane.

T1 showed remarkable composure in the face of V5's aggressive grouping of mid, bottom, jungle, and support players to release the vanguard.

Just let it go.

Then, when the second vanguard spawned, they chose to give up again, and used that time to push down V5's bottom outer tower as well.

"T1's three-step plan for female police officers has been shattered."

Casa suddenly spoke up.

"From the moment they lost the first dragon, they realized that they couldn't win the game by rushing the dragon. T1 is a team that knows how to make trades, and they are trying to create space for Caitlyn and Yone to farm."

The next few minutes.

They developed peacefully together once again.

The jungler Elise, who should be playing a tempo-based style, only shone once in the early game of this match, which should be a good thing for V5.

but.
It's so quiet.

T1 is clearly the team under offensive pressure, but the opposing team doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"Be careful, the person on the other side has disappeared again."

"Again?"

Weiwei let out a small gasp of surprise.

Then, he manipulated Zac to slowly move towards the dragon pit.

The third elemental dragon in the Rift is about to spawn. This wave is still the perfect time to send the Rift Herald to the elemental dragon in the mid lane. However, he needs to bring Yuumi over first to establish vision for the elemental dragon.

however.

We had just reached the bushes closest to the middle path that connects to the river.

It's also a point that the red side always occupies at level one in ranked matches, almost exactly the same as Ruler's previous play.

The familiar scene reappeared.

The difference is that the sixth guy hiding in the bushes back then was Oner, but this time, the sixth guy hiding in the dragon pit is Faker.

Charge up W [Pathfinder]

With a charged W, Zac successfully knocked the cat that had just stepped into the bushes back against the wall.

Followed by.

R [Proud and Majestic Posture]!
With a single ultimate move, Zac, carrying the cat, was pushed through the wall all the way to the very center of the mid lane.

And there.

Keria, who had already pinpointed the landing point by knowing Faker's position, once again used [Light Binding].

Before Weiwei could react...

He was then forced to go to the other T1 teammates, just like at a buffet, by the cat.

Almost at the same time.

Both top laners used their Teleport abilities.

Their own defensive towers immediately locked onto and attacked the uninvited guest.

No one expected it.

A sudden team fight was forcibly initiated in this way.

"beat!!!"

Immediately, Luo Ji clearly issued combat orders via voice communication.

As usual.

Ruler would definitely be the fastest to respond, but unfortunately the jungler picked up the cat, and the jungler was currently stunned by the enemy's ultimate, so he didn't dare to use his E to engage immediately.

however.

This time, Ruler discovered that there was someone in the team who was even faster than him.

At the very first moment the team fight began.

FOFO ignored everything, grabbed his spiked club and charged toward Quesanti's landing spot, not forgetting to unleash his [Might makes right] technique as soon as he got close.

The target is Quesanti's dual resistance.

"T1 initiated the team fight!"

"Faker hid in a perfect position, caught Zac Yuumi who came to provide vision, charged up his W to pull her back, and then immediately used his ultimate?"

"It's not about attrition, but rather a direct team fight. T1 is going to engage V5 in a positional battle in front of their own towers!"

"Both top laners used Teleport at the same time, this is going to be a fight!!!"

Accompanied by the commentator's heart-wrenching roars, Zac, Yuumi, and Trundle unleashed their ultimate abilities one after another on the screen.

T1 wanted to initiate a team fight, and V5 was equally unafraid to do so after the instructions were clear. However, their positioning was a bit poor, forcing FOFO and others to retreat while fighting.

At least you can't fight within the range of human traps and defensive towers.

No matter what.

T1's initial burst of firepower was too concentrated.

Even though Weiwei managed to escape his three-stage ultimate skill after being pulled under the tower, he ultimately couldn't escape death and turned into four PDDs, who would visibly die in the middle of the crowd.

Fortunately.

The cat was successfully taken away by the trolls who entered the arena.

When T1 tried to use their skills on the troll, the troll's massive health bar and bizarre tankiness left the T1 players staring in disbelief.

Can't be defeated?
I really can't beat them!?

At this point in the game, Caitlyn's damage output is already weak. Yone hasn't even arrived yet, and Elise, Quesant, and Lux ​​can easily kill Zac, who hasn't built up his tankiness in the early game. It's not even a kill; it's more like they've triggered Zac's passive.

Luo Ji understood this point.

Only then did he decisively speak up and let FOFO and the others fight back.

Conversely, the troll who had absorbed Quesanti's dual resistances was feeling better than ever before and began to rampage wildly.

In front of this troll.

Even Faker's Quesant has to temporarily avoid the limelight.

"This is a troll."

"One big move is all it takes to completely shut down Quesanti and deny him any room to deal damage in team fights."

"although."

"This thing has an extremely limited duration."

As the saying goes.

In this chaotic world, heroes and villains abound; among you, who is the most valuable?

Do you understand the value of a top-tier general (Betty Bear) defeating a level 280 White Tiger general (God Guo Jia)? (Hands on hips)
