My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 395 Ruler: I'm a madman, I have a doctor's certificate proving my mental state.

V5's first match in the LPL Summer Split was against IG, who are known as a youth storm this year.

Normally.

Lao Qiang thought that since he was Luo Ji's good friend and was in Shanghai anyway, he should go to the scene to help cheer him on.

But the problem now is.
"Isn't your team playing today? Why are you sitting right next to me eating barbecue and watching?"

Pointing to the screen in front of him, and then to Luo Ji, whose mouth was dripping with oil, Lao Qiang indicated that he couldn't quite understand.

"Oh, this."

Luo Ji calmly took a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"When we played against GENG at MSI, the coach promised me that if we won, I would get a few days off. It just so happens that V5's youth training program has some promising talents that we can bring up and give them a try, so we'll give them a chance."

even.

Not only Luo Ji, but even Ruler didn't play in this round, and Casa even filled in for Weiwei.

The entire team.

The only true mainstays are FOFO and Jwei. I'm so touched, everyone. The mid and support players are truly dedicated.

Faced with Luo Ji's magnanimity, Lao Qiang simply gave a thumbs up.

Cow batch.

Are you guys really not afraid of losing your spots?

wrong.

It seems these guys are really not afraid.

Nofe even agrees with this point. After all, the club has set up such a large youth training school, but the graduates can't even play in LPL matches. That sounds a bit too hellish.

Just like TES's youth training AD carry.

I reckon he's been pondering every day, "Throughout history, has there ever been a crown prince who reigned for forty years?"

Simply.

Without affecting their playoff results, they also intend to give some opportunities to the players who perform well in the youth academy, allowing them to gain recognition.

However, this approach is...

This directly and severely angered the young players from the opposing IG team.

What do you mean?
What do you mean?
Why did they field three of their main players against IG?

Are we really so looked down upon by you?
then.

In this round of matches, IG really unleashed their full potential.

Despite managing to close the gap by one game thanks to the synergy between Karsa and FOFO in the mid and jungle, the once strongest double lane has been replaced by the weakest double youth team.

It was obvious to the naked eye that most of V5's tactics had lost their effectiveness.

The final score was 1:2, a heartbreaking defeat at the start.

[Tsk tsk tsk, indeed, you only realize how important some people are after you've lost them.]

The logic behind the "otherworldly departure" trope has become clear: without their key carry, V5 couldn't even beat IG.

So where did my dream and Ruler Emperor go?

One said he bumped his head while showering, and the other said he bumped his foot while using the toilet. They dared to say it, but whether you dare to believe them is another matter.

Everyone's not stupid.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that V5 is giving its two star players a break.

After finishing his meal at the club, Luo Ji stared at the screen and unconsciously fell into deep thought. At first, Lao Qiang thought that Luo Ji felt guilty because he had lost the game and couldn't participate due to his vacation, so he was about to comfort him.

result.

The next second, Luo Ji proved him right with his actions, showing him what it means to be unable to produce anything virtuous.

"A prison gun."

"what?"

"You say that choking someone will shut them down, and choking them in the philtrum will turn them back on. So if you choke them in the philtrum and their neck at the same time, they won't automatically take a screenshot."

"?"

So that's what you were thinking about all that time?!

More than an hour later.

As the "elder brother" of the team, Luo Ji naturally went back to the club. Losing the game is one thing, but he didn't want to dampen the morale of these young guys.

Even in reality.

The group of youth trainees were generally not much older than him.

He only made one appearance.

Luo Ji then took out the "chicken soup props" he had prepared on the way: some mung beans and a box of the cheapest salad from the supermarket.

"Do you see what I'm holding?"

“Look, these are the cheapest mung beans I bought from the supermarket. They only cost a few dollars each, but now that I've put them in this salad, their value has instantly jumped to a higher level.”

"Any idea what this means?"

The youth trainees shook their heads.

Most of them were kids who hadn't even finished junior high school before joining the youth training program, so they didn't understand any of the symbolism or anything like that. But there were some clever ones who slapped their foreheads and said:

"I understand!"

"A handful of mung beans encapsulates life: first, we must be at the top; second, we must encounter a benefactor; and finally, the benefactor must be willing to help us leap over the dragon gate!"

Luo Ji glanced at the person who spoke, somewhat taken aback.

nodded.

Then he shook his head again.

"That's right, but not entirely right."

"On the surface, it appears to be on top of the mung beans; in fact, it is at the bottom of the bag, but if you look deeper, it is actually one of the first batches of mung beans to be put into the bag."

"What I mean is, it's okay to fail, but you still have to keep practicing."

A host of youth training programs:
Even Kasa couldn't help but look away. He'd been curious at first about what this was all about, but it turned out he'd gone on a trip to Shandong, huh?

Learn all sorts of random things.

Taking advantage of his return, Luo Ji brought something new to the team.

The traditional Overcooked 2 has hardly improved their teamwork anymore, mainly because they've played the game so much that they're already very familiar with some of the controls.

It's not challenging at all.

As it happened, Luo Ji had money and ideas, so the game "Chained Together," which was supposed to appear at the end of 24, was released ahead of schedule thanks to Luo Ji's inspiration and financial support, and even the number of players was upgraded from 4 to 5.

and.

It is not publicly disclosed and is currently only used within the V5 team.

As a new thing, this thing is much more popular in the V5 team than Overcooked 2. They thought that they had already gone through hardships, so even if they switched to another game, they could easily pass the level.

结果
Within just a few hours, the entire V5 community began to question their existence.

It's fun to play, and it's genuinely enjoyable, but when you first start using it, it's not much better than swinging a sledgehammer.

"Where did you find so many hellish things?"

The gun couldn't hold on any longer.

As an observer, he truly didn't expect V5 to use this method to train teamwork, with a group of gamers improving their teamwork and coordination by playing other games.

This scene.
It's just like in "School Days".

Saionji Sekai offered to help Katsura Kotonoha train the male protagonist's skills.

"Never mind that, just tell me if it works well or not."

Luo Ji didn't care.

Developing synergy through ranked games and scrims is torture for every player on the team, something anyone who has graduated from university and started working can attest to.

No matter how much you love something, once it becomes a profession, it will turn into pain.

But you can just switch to another game.

At least within the V5 club.

Everyone, including Ruler, showed great enthusiasm and curiosity for this new game, and once they started playing, the entire club was filled with laughter and joy.

"This game feels like it's more than just about developing teamwork."

As an observer.

Casa, on the other hand, seemed to have figured something out and spoke up next to Nofe.

"Indeed, if previous games emphasized communication, this game tests whether each person's choices can be connected with the choices of others."

"One mind and one body?"

"It may not seem that exaggerated, but the meaning is roughly the same."

The V5's dual lanes are a weapon.

However, it cannot become their trump card.

RNG in S8 has shown us with their actions that you can't rely on just one trick to succeed. Don't worry about whether someone in the team bought their way into the World Championship that year.

At least from a practical point of view.

A team should have its own core tactics and style.

In the first half of the year, V5 consistently employed a dual-lane strategy.

In the second half of the year, at Luo Ji's suggestion, the entire team once again worked hard to seek change.

This decision initially shocked FOFO and others, but after the initial shock, they were visibly convinced of its validity.

Instead of continuing to shine in known areas, we boldly delve into new fields to try new changes.

This kind of mindset isn't something everyone can have.

Around the same time that Luo Ji was playing a prank on the team with a new ultimate move, one of the few MCN streamers under his command suddenly became a sensation.

That's right.

Wall Street Special Forces – Wang Xiaoyu has finally begun her first round of efforts.

In the middle of 23.

After buying Kunlun Tech and being stuck with it for five months, he sold it and the stock hit its daily limit up, making him famous for the first time as a "reverse lucky charm".

At first, many people were curious about which MCN company had promoted this new character, but after some investigation, they found that the MCN company's legal representative was Luo Ji, which left many esports viewers dumbfounded.

Bush, Gomen.

Why are you everywhere?!

Other esports players are still selling snacks and clothes, at most their clubs help them get an endorsement, but you've secretly started being a boss, acting like you're no worse than Faker next door?

We still don't know exactly how much money Mebius has made.

[The economic management ability of top-tier top laners completely surpasses that of other top laners worldwide.]

Putting everything else aside, just based on the information that's been leaked, other players' girlfriends are all socialites who have transferred to other teams, but Mebius directly found someone outside the entertainment industry. The last one, I think, was Clearlove (from 4396)?

[Wrong, it's JKL's number one fan, the woman who looks just like Knight ( ) )]

Regarding the Eight Trigrams.

Whether or not you're a die-hard LPL viewer, you'll find this very interesting.

The main reason is that they can't imagine how Luo Ji made his money. In fact, many people even thought that the biggest sponsor of the recently popular "National Server No. 1 Tournament" seemed to be the Holy Grail, which was endorsed by this guy.

While everyone was having a heated discussion.

Sudden.

V5's official Weibo account has posted a new message:
"Hello everyone, this is V5 Esports Club."

"We regret to announce that, due to unknown reasons, Ruler (Park Jae-hyuk) has been diagnosed with severe psychological trauma. After an emergency examination at the hospital, he was admitted for observation overnight as advised by the doctor. After a second examination today, Ruler's condition has significantly improved, but he still needs to stay in the hospital for rest as advised by the doctor. The club's team doctor and the branch team leader will remain in Shenzhen to accompany Ruler during his treatment and will accompany him back to Shanghai after he has recovered."

There is still a long string of text following it.

However, viewers noticed the last release date of the information, which was clearly stated as approximately June 3rd.

September 6th?
Take another look at the current date, June 4th?
Hey!
You don't even want to act anymore, right?

You also suffer from mental illness like IMP, and you even have a mental illness certificate from a doctor?
