My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 417 You must attack the minion with taunt first

This one.

Luo Ji didn't bring any other random talents; instead, he directly selected Phase Rush.

Facing an opponent like TheShy.

He had to consider that he wouldn't have any major problems in his lane, and even assumed that the opponent's W would definitely be able to interrupt his E.

simply put.

Lower your expectations first, then you'll be pleasantly surprised. That's what insecure people do. (jpg)
As soon as I started the game...

I noticed that the enemy Ornn also has Phase Rush.
Row.

He truly deserves to be called the best opponent.

They are all exactly the same in their filth and rottenness.

As for how Darius plays against Ornn, or vice versa, the principle is the same.

Darius: Control the lane, call for reinforcements.

Ornn: Check your phone, call for backup.

It's clear at a glance; the time to test the bond between Ueno and Ueno has arrived.
"Brother Ka, you'll definitely come to help me, right?"

"Tathagata".

Casa didn't dare respond to his retort.

The tactics they used today are like a surprise attack if they work, but if they don't, it's just a waste, much like the legendary demonic weapons seen in martial arts dramas.

To put it simply, the swordsmiths of the past didn't understand chemistry, so they added all sorts of things to it, which resulted in the creation of a great sword made of depleted uranium.

The weapon is indestructible and glows in the dark.

First, it killed the blacksmith, then every subsequent master of the weapon, and then rumors spread that the weapon was searching for its true master.
Simply put, it means that to hurt the enemy, you must first hurt yourself.

Seeing that Karsa was starting his charade again, Luo Ji had no choice but to get a Doran's Blade at the start, followed by a Health Potion, and then start mindlessly pushing the lane.

Ornn wouldn't dare fight Darius before level three.

Anyone who can dominate Darius before level three is considered to have a rank advantage. In situations where players are of similar skill levels, most Ornn players rely on learning from Q-sneak mechanics.

Darius's early game is also very formulaic.

Before Ornn reaches level three, push the minion wave as far as possible under the tower, and then engage the enemy minion wave in person when the next wave comes out after the wave has entered the tower.

The principle is simple.

Try to position the minion waves in front of the enemy tower as much as possible.

When a new wave of minions appears, the enemy minions will be in position first, allowing them to overwhelm your own minions and push the wave forward in advance, facilitating a quick pushback.

Then, after the minion wave arrives, Darius should position himself in a safe spot.

TheShy glanced at his jungler's position; Sofm really had good judgment this game.

On a normal day.

He always sacrifices the top lane to protect the bottom lane. Anyway, TheShy has a built-in taunting aura, just like that "Tastin Dog".

You must attack the minion with the taunt ability first.

The effect of attacking Tazan is even more outstanding.

When Tazan encounters TheShy, he'll abandon his own jungle farming to gank you, as if he has some deep-seated grudge.

But he knows.

This tactic won't work on Karsa. Karsa is a pure meta-expert; knowing that this is a bot lane meta, he'll definitely go all out to protect his bot lane.

That.
Let's just do the opposite!

He chose to play three quick rounds and then tried to catch up.

Since the jungler decided to come over, TheShy naturally had to make sacrifices. Normally, Ornn wouldn't choose to use his W skill to initiate against Darius, but in this wave, Luo Ji's lane control gave him the opportunity, so he didn't hesitate to use W to clear the path and spray both enemies and minions.

"what?"

Seeing his actions, Luo Ji was somewhat surprised, but his hand still subconsciously used WQ, followed by A to pull away and then Q on the outer edge to heal.

Then he chased after Ornn.

He didn't know anything about traps or anything like that, but the other side gave him an opportunity.

If you can't understand why you should follow the opponent's lead when they give you an opportunity and you're in danger in the top lane.

Then try to understand it differently.

Interpret him as saying, "Since you know the economy will decline in the future, why not choose to save money and instead choose to eat and drink?"

The principle is simple.

Because bitterness first doesn't guarantee sweetness later, but sweetness first definitely means you'll experience sweetness.

The same principle applies to placing it on the road.

TheShy was chased directly into the top lane bush. Luo Ji didn't rush to pull him in. It wasn't until Ornn in the bush cast a Q towards his own turret outside the bush, and then used his E to dash, that he successfully knocked up Darius.

After landing.

Luo Ji then retaliated with the EAQW combo, and watched as Ornn, low on health and using a potion, returned to the tower.

Regarding health points.

Luo Ji made a profit, because Ornn's health had reached an extremely dangerous level.

But the minion wave area.

Because of TheShy's deliberate blood-selling maneuvering, the minion wave, which was originally being held back, will inevitably start pushing towards WBG's tower again.

Both sides achieved their goals.

"coming soon!"

Seeing this, commentator Wang Song knew all too well that the next wave would be the most thrilling psychological battle.

TheShy did not choose to return to base.

Darius, seeing that he couldn't hold the minion wave, started pushing it. The minion wave quickly entered the tower, followed by Darius's Q-Flash and Ornn's Flash, a mutual prediction!
We'll win, right?
As a long-time fan of TheShy, he was absolutely certain that his idol would win the game.

As the minion wave slowly advanced towards the tower.

at last.

Luo Ji also saw the low-health Ornn emerge from behind the enemy tower.

You only get one chance.

Q【Dominate the battlefield!】
Darius's move of raising his Q to press forward has already taken shape. Watching this extremely impactful scene, TheShy's heart started to race subconsciously.

Just as Darius's Q skill projectile was launched, TheShy's Ornn appeared in the spot where Darius should have been standing.

"Whoosh~" It appeared in a flash.

He immediately executed a preemptive flash.

However.
The expected scene did not occur. Darius did not use Q-Flash, and Ornn was not hit by Q. It was as if it was just a warning Q skill. Darius did not use Q-Flash to try and take down Ornn.

This was a dud!?

"I didn't expect it!"

"I predicted your prediction directly!"

On this side of the screen.

Luo Ji's mouth was practically crooked from smiling.

Do you really think Darius would Q-Flash every time he sees a low-health opponent? He knows he's targeting TheShy. The most effective way to deal with a pro is to act tough on the field.

As the saying goes, the Tang people can defeat the masters.

He successfully tricked the opponent into using Flash.

just
What should have been a huge windfall for him was a scam, but after the scam succeeded, he didn't see Ornn react with any anger or frustration whatsoever.

As if suddenly remembering something, Luo Ji also performed a lightning-fast change of expression.

From the beginning until now.

The previously calm atmosphere suddenly turned solemn.

next second.

The familiar haze rose from the edge of the canyon wall, and the next moment, he saw Sofm's Ruined King successfully appear before him.

Luo Ji:
Two seconds later.

WBG_Sofm kills V5_Mebius
First Blood!

First blood is obtained.

【happy. 】

I admit your fake move to bait out the flash was really cool, but what if my jungler actually came? (doge)

[In terms of the bond between Ueno, you actually lost to TheShy and Sofm? Hajika, you bastard.]

At this point, all you need to do is shout: Miracle Walker is still farming jungle camps!!!

"This is interesting. Is WBG using Mebius as a breakthrough point?"

"It should be said that when playing against Kassa, he subconsciously abandoned his best playstyle. Both sides were playing dirty tricks in this game."

What kind of jungling strategy does Sofm employ?

His favorite strategy is to gather information about the enemy jungler in the early game, determine the enemy jungler's jungle path by counting junglers, and disrupt his own jungle pathing to return to base early to buy items, thus gaining an early advantage in the first skirmish.

Because according to the traditional jungling strategy.

It would be difficult to predict whether Sofm would choose to release one or two groups of jungle monsters and recall early instead of completing a full round in the first wave.

Here comes the interesting part.

Sofm's jungling strategy can only be countered by one jungler in LPL history: the jungle king Eimy.

However, his approach to jungling is not easy to learn.

Then let's try another method.

When those analytical video creators break it down, for example, after the 100 CS difference between junglers in the World Championship matchup, Yuan from Bilibili made a video specifically analyzing Sofm's jungle strategy.

Then comes the little-known fact.

Kasa watches Yuan's videos and is even a loyal fan of Yuan.

In terms of past achievements.

Karsa has almost never suffered a defeat against Sofm; Sofm is always suppressed whenever they meet.

This time is no exception.

In the top lane, even though their own top laner was caught and killed, Luo Ji still had Flash available, so it wasn't a big problem for Darius to die once.

However, with Foygo's position exposed, Karsa immediately went on a farming spree with Lillia, allowing Ruler and Jwei to confidently exert pressure on the bottom lane.

They even went deep into WBG's jungle to establish vision control.

For an instant.

Many professional players and coaches seemed to be hallucinating some strange, infamous images that were the root of all evil through this scene:
"ジャングルジャム (Junochan~)"

"はーい"

"What do you like?"

"The top laner is dead and alive, よりもお~か~ね~ (As for the life and death of the top laner, I still prefer Mane)."

No.

Dude, you're really selling?!
"Coach, he...this...me."

Weiwei was completely stunned.

While he was indeed trained and needs to master the correct way to play top laner Meng, completely ignoring him and using him as bait seems a bit...
"You'll get used to it. This is just the special way Casa and I get along."

"what?"

"and"

Nofe crossed his arms and smiled as he said:
"Even if we get caught and killed in this wave, the minion wave has still been successfully pushed into the top lane, hasn't it?"

Despite paying the price of getting on the road.

However, V5's overall operational rhythm was incredibly clear. On the contrary, after Sofm ganked the top lane and returned to the jungle, it felt like his jungle route was completely controlled by the opponent.

As soon as I move closer to the lower half of the bracket, it feels like something's not right.

This made him hesitant to act rashly.

"With this setup, Sofm can only gank the top lane."

"But the top lane is actually hard to gank. Mebius is too cunning. Once you've been tricked once, it's hard to let him suffer the same fate a second time."

Inside the WBG lounge, the four coaches were still engaged in a chaotic discussion.

Dani, who was in charge.

But he keenly noticed something slightly off about it.

Darius's equipment
Something seems off about what I'm seeing.
