My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 392 [Surrounding three sides but leaving one open, a false path to survival]

From the very beginning, FOFO understood that this power did not belong to her.

Whether it was joining V5 with his own strength and fighting his way to the MSI finals, or being arranged to take down Trundle and using his ultimate to fight back and forth in the T1 crowd, all of this was just a flash in the pan of strength.

but.
Even if it's just a fleeting moment.

It also had a moment of brilliance, when the troll, with its ultimate ability activated and possessed by a cat, completely transformed into a butcher on the field.

T1's "most muscular" Quesanti.

In front of him, they were like crispy skin, being sliced ​​and deboned by him one blow after another.

Doesn't Faker want to run away?

No.

He wanted to.

But just as he was about to run away, the status bar showed that the debuff for the cat's ultimate skill, "Grimoire Finale," had been successfully generated.

T1 had almost used up all their skills because of the focus fire on Zac.

Faced with the emergence of the second boss, they could only watch helplessly as Faker was relentlessly attacked.

With the troll tanking in front, Ruler's Zephyr activated [Ultimate Flash] and kept adjusting her position to deal additional damage.

At a time when T1 was already overwhelmed by the troll cat,

Luo Ji landed before Zeus.

Furthermore, after activating his ultimate skill, he charges straight into the back row of T1 with two E skills.

Ignoring the low-health Quesanti, his goal upon landing was to disrupt T1's overall formation.

An enraged crocodile is no match for an enemy.

Upon seeing Luo Ji enter, Spider, Policewoman, and Lux ​​almost instinctively began to scatter to different locations.

Almost at the same time.

The moment Zeus' Yone teleported down.

On the troll.

The support cat that had been following him all along has finally returned to his most loyal AD carry.

"Cat Armor"

"Armor fusion!"

With the high movement speed granted by the cat, Ruler simply used his E skill to flank Zeus and Yone, who were about to unleash their ultimates upon landing, and then continued to pour firepower into Zeus.

Can't catch up!
There's no way to catch up!
The hero Yuumi is like this: strong in lane, weak in vision, and incredibly annoying in team fights. At least Zeus is feeling quite annoyed right now.

You can't catch up with them, you can't touch them, and the damage they do inflicts is incredibly painful, yet you still can't stop chasing them.

No one thought of it.

V5, who were initially the ones being attacked, found themselves in a completely different situation after decisively accepting the challenge.

"It's like Oner would definitely respond to Faker's engage."

"V5".

"It's also a V5 belonging to Mebius."

To put it bluntly, it's all empty rhetoric.

V5's decisive counter-engage was because true warriors would never let their comrades' breath linger on the battlefield.

Let's be more realistic.

That is, from the very beginning, Mebius knew that T1's damage and control were insufficient, and they simply couldn't win at this point.

Two players were traded for three in one go.

finally.

The game ended with T1's Yone, Quesanti, and Spider dying, and V5's Zac and Troll Warlord also perishing. It has to be said that the opponent seized this opportunity very well.

No matter what.

Their reaction here was too fast and their decision-making too decisive, giving T1 no time to cool down their second wave of skills.

Masters compete with each other.

They never give you time to recover.

If such a gift was given, there's only one possibility: the advantage was too great, and a small act of mercy was shown to the weak.

On the playing field.

Only those who are strong enough have the right to talk about benevolence.

Confucius said, "To achieve benevolence," and Mencius said, "To uphold righteousness."

Confucius is clearly of higher purity and can be said to possess benevolence.

Mencius lacked integrity, so he had no choice but to sacrifice his life for righteousness.

"Wow, you can win this?!"

[With the Troll Warlord and the Crocodile both unleashing their ultimate abilities, who can threaten Ruler except Zeus, especially Ruler with his cat?]

The difference in AD carry output environment between the two sides is too great. This is even after Zac was killed first. In the next wave, three front-line tanks charge in together. I don't know how Caitlyn is going to survive.

What you're about to see is typical of League of Legends AD carries: nine seconds of positioning in a ten-second team fight, and one second of instant death. Damage output? Damage output is impossible; it's a dream come true. All you can do is farm minions and increase your threat level.

The number of heads kept coming in.

Ruler managed to catch up on all the development he had fallen behind during the period he was targeted, and even surpassed the enemy Caitlyn.

Until now.

T1 has figured it out: if they want to win a team fight, they either need to find a way to kill Zeli first, or quickly eliminate one of V5's front-line members, then create space and wait for their cooldowns before engaging V5 in a team fight based on their numerical advantage. Otherwise, they can't win.

After taking down the third elemental dragon in the canyon, which is also V5's second dragon.

Another few minutes of peaceful development.

Knowing that their team's damage output was insufficient, T1 even gave up the fourth dragon in the Rift, intending to fight V5 for the dragon soul team fight for thirty minutes.

that time.

The crocodile's fortunes began to decline, while the policewoman's injuries started to rise.

No matter what.

V5, however, had no intention of giving their opponents any time at all.

"I'm going in circles."

The real flanking maneuver in the top lane is never about waiting until all the teammates have made their moves before you start flanking. It's about heading to the flanking position before your teammates even reveal their intentions.

From the top lane, to the river, to deep into the enemy's blue side jungle, using E over the wall, we extended all the way in along the Frog Queen's position.

Only after seeing the crocodile successfully reach the vicinity of Frog Queen did V5 begin to gather the remaining four members to fight Baron Nash.

Such an obvious action.

Naturally, this also attracted T1, who was closely watching them, to this location.

"Baron forced a team fight?"

"Their speed in killing dragons seems pretty good."

"We have to get there. Zac deals percentage-based damage, and Trolls have attack speed buffs; they're not slow at taking down dragons." That makes sense.

T1 really doesn't want to play against V5.

At this point, V5's three front-line generals had already begun to show their strength. With these three tanky units pushing forward, T1 had absolutely no desire to deal damage.

The focus is on trolls.

He can make T1's only front-line Quesanti even squishier than Lux.

How does this work?
But since the other side has already forced the dragon, it still has to come.

"Later, try to give them some space so they can get closer to the dragon pit. Wei, you should be able to keep up with my control, right?"

Hearing Luo Ji's words, Weiwei nodded:

"No problem, I'll go into the dragon pit and use my E skill to get into the corner. Even if they know I'm there, they won't be able to stop me from entering."

Luo Ji had almost half a minute to a minute earlier than planned when he attempted to flank the enemy.

T1 at this point.

They never imagined that behind them and their companions, there would be an enemy crocodile lurking menacingly.

Commentary
Audience
Even everyone in the live stream
Even through the screen, everyone could clearly feel how terrifyingly destructive the position of this crocodile would be for T1 in the future.

coming soon!
Just as the entire T1 team emerged, entered the river, and pressed forward.

Having successfully flanked the enemy, Luo Ji decisively activated his ultimate skill. As his rage surged, he took steps, one by one, towards the T1 team.

until
"Shh!"

flash!

The moment the crocodile's figure appeared, Keria immediately noticed it and announced it in voice chat. Xiao Lu Bu reacted very quickly, using his E skill to try and move to the other side the instant he saw the crocodile flash.

just
Before he could even land after jumping back into the air...

It is underground.

An ice pillar suddenly rose up abruptly, interrupting Lux's Q skill casting animation and successfully stopping the female police officer in mid-air.

E [Pillar of Ice]

An ordinary E skill became the key to T1's downfall!
"Great!"

Luo Ji's eyes lit up. Since the policewoman's E skill was interrupted, he only needed to use his E skill after flashing to land to accurately apply his red-rage W skill.

It was almost the instant the crocodile controlled the attack.

In the sky.

The familiar flight reappeared.

E [Rubber Band Slingshot]

Q【Extended Strikes】

R [Dynamic Pinball]

The arrival of Renekton and Zac threw T1's lineup into chaos.

"Focus fire on the crocodile first!"

if it is possible.

Faker naturally wanted to eliminate the enemy Zephyr first, but Zephyr was too far away, had Yuumi on her, and Trundle was keeping a close eye on his position.

Then we have no choice but to do the opposite.

First, focus fire on the crocodile that is flanking and slightly separated from its teammates.

After receiving the instructions.

T1's skills rained down on the crocodile's head as if they were free, while Luo Ji completely ignored them, focusing solely on cooperating with Zack to chase down the policewoman.

"The crocodile's health is dropping very quickly."

"T1 seems to be focusing their fire on Renekton. Zeus used his ultimate, and Yone's ultimate successfully pulled Zac and Renekton together. Gumayusi didn't die, but he was out of health. This wave can be considered as four people on T1."

"Both teams are commanding so decisively, it looks like the crocodile here is about to give out."

"and many more!"

"This healing!???"

Throughout the match, both sides clashed over impromptu decisions. T1's strategy was clear: to prolong the battle and create an opportunity to eliminate one of V5's members.

No matter what.

They underestimated Luo Ji.

Although the skills had been given to Xiao Lu Bu's female police officer, how many players who play Crocodile can't control their rage?

Just as the health was about to drop to its lowest point.

It was the crocodile's decisive turn.

Followed by.

Coughing up blood and then pressing the red rage Q button in succession.

The T1 four-man team, who were chasing the crocodile, were caught off guard and were instantly healed to full health by the crocodile's combo. With the skill covering the three of them except Lux, the crocodile's health was almost visibly restored to one-third.

With that much health regeneration, they simply couldn't kill the troll Zephyr before she even entered the fray.

See this.

In the lounges on both sides, everyone couldn't help but get up.

The scene of the game.

The audience, who were already cheering because of the constant fighting between the two teams, erupted into a huge wave of sound, like a concert hall.

"It's a sharp knife."

"Is it a trap too?"

"She's still coughing up blood, so the policewoman's escape with her remaining health was intentionally let go?"

“That guy, Mebius.”

"They completely outmaneuvered T1's commander."

this moment.

Bengi finally realized what was happening.

If you kill the policewoman, the rest of T1 will run away.

But for the policewoman who survived, and for those who still held onto a sliver of hope, the situation was quite different.

On an ancient battlefield.

Even on various chessboards.

They have always employed the tactic of "encircling three sides but leaving one open, thus creating an escape route."

To undermine the enemy's will to fight to the death, lure them to move towards a pre-set gap, and then annihilate them in motion.

Luo Ji's target was never just a mere Gumayusi's Little Lu Bu, but rather the other four members of T1 who had no way out.

This round is a checkmate.
