My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 394 is full, but don't worry about where it's full.
The day after the MSI competition ended.

Luo Ji rubbed his eyes as his biological clock woke him up on time early in the morning.

then
I only realized then that the game was over and that it was my vacation time.

Yes, he's on vacation.

On the night of the victory, the domestic League of Legends community was undoubtedly once again shaken up.

There have been instances in the past where the champion team won the MSI the following year, but those teams all won the MSI while maintaining their original team structure.

Like V5.

This is the first team to have completely replaced everyone except for the founding members.

His outrageous remarks during the post-match interview with Ruler sparked heated discussions among netizens, mainly because they were so arrogant. He claimed that the world's best mid laner was in the LCK, but the world's best top laner and bot laner were both in the LPL.

2:1
This time, the advantage is truly in my hands.

The day after the competition, Luo Ji chose to board a plane back to China with his teammates.

I really don't want to stay here any longer. Even putting aside the theft and robbery in England, there are now vendors selling roasted corn under Big Ben, a so-called famous tourist attraction.

I came here specifically to take a look; someone who didn't know better would think it was at the entrance of a park in China.

It's really meaningless.

It's better to just go back to China and find a place to work.

"So you're back now?"

On the other side of the phone.

While chatting with Luo Ji, Lao Qiang was also looking at several clubs he could transfer to, but the outcome was not ideal.

usually.

There are more opportunities during the year-end transfer window. Just like landlords prefer to hire long-term tenants, the mid-year transfer window is undoubtedly for short-term tenants. Teams that make moves at this time are looking to strengthen their squads and are looking for players who can immediately contribute.

Luo Ji initially considered strengthening the mid-lane, but after briefly looking at the prices of several well-known mid-laners, he realized that...
Forget it.

FOFO is great.

The more expensive ones aren't as obedient, and the better ones aren't as cheap; it's the best value for money.

V5 has never been a team willing to invest heavily in esports events. Many people know that the core purpose of V5's home venue was actually to apply for that land.

The main reason is that Luo Ji's performance was so outstanding that V5 maintained its normal level of investment.

But would you like to add more?
Sorry, I have no money.

"Yeah, there's nothing fun to do here anyway, and more importantly, nothing good to eat, so we might as well just go back."

As if he had thought of something, Luo Ji continued, "By the way, are you on the Asian Games call-up list?"

"No."

Lao Qiang had a bitter face. He was the only domestic champion top laner in LPL during S11, but because he hadn't played for half a year, he wasn't even on the training camp roster.

"There are five units above: 369, Breathing, Bin, You, and Ale."

"what?"

Because of his own whims and because he was too busy to deal with this matter during the MSI period, Luo Ji was unaware of any changes to the roster compared to his previous life, even though the official group photo had been released in advance.

Um.
The kind where each contestant is photographed individually and then photoshopped together.

Comparing the list given by the prison gun with the one in his mind, Luo Ji belatedly realized that he seemed to have taken the place of the original world's Shanji.

aside.

Kasa, who had overheard their conversation, also chimed in:

“I know that. It’s not just you. In our team, FOFO and I accepted the call, Ruler was invited by LCK to represent us, and even Jwei barely made it in. The only one left out was Weiwei, who is probably feeling depressed right now.”

"what?"

After thinking about it, I can understand it.

Although Jwei may have been riding on the coattails of Ruler this year, given Ruler's exceptionally outstanding performance, Jwei's talent as a support player is still quite evident, so it's perfectly normal for him to be on the roster.

Can Weiwei?

Anyone with eyes can see that his jungling style is based on relying on a strong player.

Recklessness is enough, but spirituality is lacking.

Therefore, he was not on the roster, becoming the only leaky player in V5's Asian Games squad.

of course.

Being called up doesn't mean you can play.

It can only be said that training together for a period of time is equivalent to being a free sparring partner.

But nevertheless.

This title is enough to fool your relatives and friends.

Let me mention this here.

Due to the Asian Games, the LPL Summer Split had to be rescheduled, with the schedule shortened by more than a month. That is, the LPL Summer Split started just two days after the MSI ended.

However, considering the hard work of the MSI teams, V5 and JDG's match will only take place on the eighth or ninth day after the start of the Summer Split.

It's like they're forcibly giving you a ten-day vacation.

Working people are moved to tears.

Thinking back to my past life when I was a corporate slave, I was forced to take time off even for holidays. And look at myself now?

The organizers have proactively adjusted the schedule to give you a break.

That's it.

Quite a few professional players say they're tired.

In response, Luo Ji could only say that those who complain about being tired should retire early and experience the workplace of ordinary people.

For a normal man, after a large-scale survey, he will either become adept at navigating the workplace or have a clear understanding of his own body; otherwise, he will have no ability to resist at all.
Just like Child Emperor, who can't understand programmers.

He's still fantasizing that if he had studied harder, he could have become a programmer and wouldn't have to work so hard and sleep with girls every day. This is a typical example of people always thinking that the path they didn't choose is full of flowers.

of course.

His current high-level gameplay is indeed the result of his previous experience in the "hell mode".

Normal people really couldn't endure that kind of suffering. If you don't believe me, try forcing yourself to eat stinky seafood without any technology; only someone with great willpower could persevere.

The upcoming holiday.

Luo Ji visited almost every famous tourist attraction in China he could find.

Moreover, it's not about challenging mountains and rivers, but about challenging high-thrill activities such as diving, bungee jumping, skydiving, racing, and rock climbing.

If it weren't for the wrong timing.

He even considered signing up for Mount Everest.

People who are reborn are particularly open-minded, thinking about the things they didn't experience in their previous life, and determined to do their best in this life.

It's like when people play a game and get to the second playthrough.

They would try every means to get all the achievements they missed in their first playthrough.

result.

The person is still playing around with the project.

Red Bull's advertisers have already caught wind of this and are coming in droves.

what?
As a celebrity, do you want to try something dangerous but not necessarily fatal?

Huh~
Brother, you have this idea, and I happen to have a little bit of money on hand to support it, how about we...
When Luo Ji's secretary, who works during the day and at night, inexplicably gets a Red Bull advertising endorsement, and the other party even shamelessly asks if she can wear their exclusive custom-made clothes when Luo Ji is playing these games.

The secretary was completely stunned.

God.

Am I, a small business owner, some kind of reincarnation of the Purple Star?
You're good at games, you make accurate investments, and advertisers are even chasing after you to feed you. You're the chosen one, aren't you?

Time slowly passed and it was early June.

this point in time.

The LPL Summer Split has started, but V5 has not yet played any matches. After playing for a while, Luo Ji has returned to his club.

It was not a training camp.

In ten days, they only need to maintain their daily ranked games to keep up their form. Team synergy is not a problem with such a short time. He was mainly called back by Nofe to study the version changes after MSI.

There's nothing I can do about it; that's what happens when you're a version researcher.

Only ten days of vacation.

Nofe also needs holidays. When he came back from his holiday and saw the changes the designer made to the equipment, he felt his scalp tingle.

Because MSI's bot lane was too outrageous.

In the latest version 13.10.

The crit-based AD build has been significantly nerfed, while the on-hit AD build has been significantly buffed. Essentially, it forces you to choose between survivability and damage. It's like the first item forces you to go for the on-hit build, but a single on-hit item is useless; you need to stack multiple items to make it effective.

But if you get the Mythic item later, you'll benefit from its bonuses much later.

That's it.

He also specifically brought in Youmuu's Ghostblade to make it easier for mid-lane assassins to instantly kill AD carries, and fixed the bug where ADCs could occasionally carry in regular ranked games.

Fortunately, it seems the designers also realized that this was too obviously targeted.

Another change has been added.

Now, the new version features three lanes of minions simultaneously, which puts even greater emphasis on the mid-laner's roaming awareness.

"Actually, it doesn't have much impact on us."

"In this era of decline, there are hardly any AD carries with good fundamentals left in the LPL bot lane. Unless a monster emerges who can match at least 50% of the laning ability of peak Uzi, Ruler is invincible in the LPL bot lane."

Luo Ji said nonchalantly.

But soon.

He felt that Nofe was looking at him strangely, and even asked in a peculiar way, "What if it were Uzi himself?"

"Themselves?"

Without even thinking, Luo Ji continued:
"Then let the bottom lane pick a tanky champion. It's not a matter of whether they're in good form or can win, but rather that as the only divine beings, these two seem to have a natural counter-relationship, just like Xiaohu and Xiye back then."

"When they fight, one will definitely be all-out in terms of skill, and the other will be all-out in terms of skill."

"etc."

"Why do you ask that suddenly?"

After the words were spoken.

He only realized it belatedly afterward.

It seems like I remember it.
Did Uzi really return to the competition in the second half of S13?

Faced with Luo Ji's probing gaze, Nofe simply nodded silently, indicating that his guess was absolutely correct.

past life.

Uzi was only revealed to have joined EDG and entered the professional arena in the third week after the start of the Summer Split.

But that was for public exposure.

Internally?

The news from various clubs is often shared, and everyone already knows that this former big shark is going to swim back to the LPL arena. The question is, how much of his former dominance does he still have? Nobody can say for sure right now.

Luo Ji also took a special look at EDG's roster.

Ok.

Fish God is still on EDG's main roster.

Did he actually take a bullet for EDG's owner, Edward Zhu?

Given his performance, Luo Ji couldn't help but imagine that Uzi might get tricked by Fish God and turn into a red-hot character on the spot, then evolve into [Dormitory Uzi] after returning to the club.
"Does the Ruler Emperor know about this?"

"know."

What did he say?

"I heard he's already studying FNC's game replays and exploring the possibility of a Garen-Yuu combo in the bot lane."

"?"
