My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 433 We are all living hard
"Nice, guys!"

"Old Song is still the same Old Song, he really is... I'm going to cry."

"Jayce doesn't eat the lane? That's quite a life."

"Maybe they just want to maintain the double poke and are deliberately not leaving, which is one way to understand it."

V5 team.

Everyone was ecstatic.

They hadn't played a losing game in a long time. Not only were the viewers happy watching, but they themselves were playing with great passion. Only Ruler looked completely bewildered, as if he had seen a ghost.

So many years.

This is the first time I've seen teammates who get excited when they're at a disadvantage.

Despite winning a team fight.

However, TES still holds the advantage in the situation.

To reiterate, the peak power of the double poke combo is in the early to mid-game. At this point, it's easier for TES to deal damage than them. They just lost a wave of momentum because TES won team fights and took dragons.

TES also has its own ideas.

I messed up my lane and you found an opportunity, so I'll just group up and charge into your jungle.

Tian is so eager to start a group buy that he's practically going crazy.

Various quick-scoping maneuvers were used to try and keep the player in place, much like enthusiastic netizens trying to persuade overseas IDs to return home. The promises made included, but were not limited to: gold bars, succubi, Lamborghinis, wives who wouldn't retract their consent, property deeds, Qi cultivation techniques (?), and Nikes with metal plates.
Unfortunately, V5 simply wouldn't respond.

Team battles aren't something you can just initiate whenever you want.

I know I can't beat you in a head-on fight right now, so if I still engage you in a team fight, wouldn't that make me look like I have a problem?
Avoid war!

A frantic avoidance of war!
Before, V5 wasn't as skilled at this approach, but after playing against LNG, while they might not have mastered the essence, they could definitely imitate it perfectly.

Commentary seat.

I remember that Tongxi and I both laughed when we watched it.

"I feel like I've learned something from V5."

"Indeed, TES can be seen to really want to fight V5, but the double poke system is a representative of positional warfare. Trying to force an engagement means that it will cause a temporary disconnect between the front and back lines, which is fatal for TES."

to be honest.

TES wants to play aggressively, but they can't be too reckless.

That's how the system works. If you have an advantage, you're bound to have a disadvantage. You can't have all the benefits.

to be honest.

The fact that TES's winning hand was stolen made their rhythm very difficult.

The fourth elemental dragon is about to spawn.

As soon as they headed down the river, V5 automatically and consciously gathered up the top river. 20 minutes had passed, and Baron Nashor had already spawned in the top lane. Theoretically, V5 shouldn't dare to engage Baron directly, but would TES dare to gamble?
dare not.

They chose to follow.

However, while following behind, Tian was too concerned about being out of sync with the team and dared not initiate team fights at will, which once again magnified the shortcomings of Tao's operational style.

Have no idea.

V5's lineup has stronger teamfight initiation and teamfight capabilities.

Moreover, every time V5 gives an opportunity, it's in the jungle. But what kind of place is the jungle? It's a place where Gwen can hold off ten thousand enemies with just one W at a narrow pass. How are they going to fight Gwen?
This leads to.

It's clearly from God's perspective.

TES had an advantage in lane and economy, but they just wouldn't take the dragon, constantly stalling and driving the audience crazy.

Even after pulling and tugging for several minutes and finding that there was no rhythm,

It seems V5 has finally sent someone to connect on the sidelines.

Everyone then returned to town to upgrade their equipment and headed straight for the fourth dragon.

But by this time...

The peak of their lineup's strength is already passing.

"I see."

"No wonder V5 doesn't have any special tricks up their sleeves; it turns out TES has this weakness."

After TES secured the dragon and circled around the upper river again, JDG and LNG finally saw TES's current weaknesses clearly from their omniscient perspective and V5's reaction.

Their operations and vision have major problems.

Operations are focused on the middle and upper levels of the business.

However, this kind of operation is not fatal, but it is easy to create loopholes.

Visible field of view.

That would be a huge problem.

Mark's playstyle when he chooses to engage as a support, but not when he's playing Leona, is rather bland. In other words, he doesn't know when to play aggressively, but he does play aggressively when he shouldn't.

Like right now.

They possess both economic and roster advantages.

If it were ON or even Si Shao, he would have already pushed the Titan forward, but he didn't. Instead, he was very cautious and strolling around, not daring to put any pressure on V5's online position.

Looking at historical records.

He played terribly from the beginning with DMO, and was also a war criminal in LGD. He was also the biggest culprit in TES's loss to Vietnam in the top 16 of the World Championship. He just played a bit too conservatively to protect his KDA.

Perhaps on a more macro level.

As we've been complaining about, TES has always been a team of carry players, without a clear team leader to tell them what to do and when.

TES seems to have backed down.

That.
Opportunities are something we have to find ourselves.

JKL was still in the jungle thinking about how to break the situation a second ago, when suddenly, a blue trinket from Ruler lit up his vision.

For an instant.

Every cell in his body was warning him that danger was about to strike.

At the moment when the blue Death Star in the corner was flashing wildly, JKL, contrary to his usual old-fashioned demeanor, decisively used his own Flash.

See this.

FOFO then stopped thinking about the second stage of E.

With just a blue trinket and Ice Maiden's wall-blocking E, JKL was successfully forced to use Flash.

【???】 【Wait, what exactly is TES doing? How can their advantageous carry be forced to flash by the losing team?】

[In classic Top Esports, the front line doesn't hold its position, Varus clears the wave but can't get in, and without vision, he's just overthinking things.]

[This scene is all too familiar. Top Esports fans know with their eyes closed that the next moment will definitely be the Baron round, which is TES loves to fight, and then V5 will seize the opportunity to turn the tide.]

"okay."

"Now it's time for us to find their weaknesses."

"Now, the initiative is in my hands."

Unlike TES, where the team's command was unclear, V5's Luo Ji directly made the final decisions on the team's playstyle.

Well known.

When the carry in the team doesn't have Flash, the correct approach is to split push to get through the awkward period when the carry doesn't have Flash. In this game, TES also had Jayce and Gnar, so split pushing was actually fine.

The problem is that this is TES.

Even though their carry didn't have Flash, their idea wasn't to let the split-puller pull back the tide, but to continue grouping up, thinking that since their carry didn't have Flash, grouping up would ensure the carry's safety.

That.
Jess is now useless.

After surviving the early game and moving into the mid-game, Rookie never managed to secure a single safe wave. He was either playing cowardly in dangerous areas or grouping up with JKL, who was in the carry position, to share resources. In fact, due to his tendency to starve himself, he barely managed to get any resources at all.

A Jess.

Without sufficient equipment, his team fight threat will be greatly reduced.

From start to finish.

V5 has analyzed Rookie very thoroughly.

It's not so much that TES figured out V5, but rather that V5 figured out Rookie.

After TES caught up with the equipment.

What followed immediately.

This further exposed another weakness of TES: the poor vision control on the sidelines meant that neither Huang nor Rookie dared to push too far into the lanes at this point.

But if you don't push the lanes further, you can't put pressure on V5's minions.

In contrast, consider Luo Ji.

The bottom laner pushed straight into TES's second tower, displaying a "you dare gank me, I'll die" attitude, which actually put real pressure on the opponent's minion wave.

"As I've said before, TES's problems have always been obvious."

"They can play very smoothly during the laning phase, but once they reach the mid-game, their lane management becomes a mess because the team simply doesn't have a brain."

off screen.

White Crescent was using a secondary account to spam the chat with messages.

When he was taken away by the "palace".

TES's official Weibo account used to be like it was Chinese New Year, but now it's Dian's. I don't think you're any better than me.
The command of Tian, ​​Rookie, and Mark.

It did not bring any clear positive progress to the team.

feel.

TES is like sugarcane; one person can synthesize sugar, and three people can synthesize paper.

As time goes by.

soon.

The canyon is about to welcome the spawn of its fifth elemental dragon.

Luo Ji knew clearly that this team fight was inevitable. It wasn't that losing the dragon and letting TES get the dragon soul would cause his team to collapse, but rather that he put himself in the perspective of the enemy jungler and into the mindset of the enemy Tian.

He knows.

If TES loses this dragon, Tian's mentality will most likely collapse.

"Brother, do we really have to fight this hard?"

After listening to Luo Ji's psychological battle.

Weiwei and Jwei looked a little shaky. They never dreamed that a simple competition could involve psychological warfare.
Are you the e-sports Jia Xu?
The other two who hadn't spoken, FOFO and Ruler, felt a chill run down their spines at the thought of facing this guy at the Asian Games.

Very meow.

If you used this tactic against TES, you can't use it against me at the Asian Games.

But it's okay for my teammates.

Do not ask.

The answer is simple: it's better to die than to die; we're all trying our best to live.
"of course."

Luo Ji nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"If we play seriously, we'll most likely be dragged into the fourth game, and very unlikely into the fifth."

"You can take advantage of the enemy jungler's mentality."

"That"

"3-0, I can go home and finish the workday."

Encouraged by the excuse of "getting off work," the V5 team instantly regained their momentum. In fact, Luo Ji even deliberately disrupted Bonal's state.

It's also on the top lane, in the laning phase.

Luo Ji had actually been watching Gnar push the lane from the bushes for a long time.

He was building up his anger.

Nar's rage control is crucial to his performance in team fights. With Luo Ji not showing up, Da Huang naturally pushed in the normal way of controlling rage.

But as you push it along...

Gwen, who was in the bushes, suddenly rushed out without even greeting him. As soon as they met, she sprinted and started cutting.

Big Yellow had never seen anything like this before.

While fighting and retreating, he no longer controlled his anger. As a result, just as he was about to grow larger, Gwen, who had been frantically chasing him, suddenly turned around.

Then, with a "whoosh," it swiftly fled the battlefield, leaving the enlarged Gnar standing there in a daze.

No.

You're just stirring things up for me, but you're not going to put them out?

What about professional attitude?
Believe it or not, I'll report you to the manager, you bastard!
