My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 6 LPL’s “Military Training”

With the official end of the winter transfer window, all the major teams have completed their roster formation for the new season.

In fact, the lineups of each team had been leaked almost before the transfer period ended, and the biggest fish in this year's transfer period was Rookie who joined V5.

As a result, many viewers also have some expectations for V5's new lineup.

"The jungler is Karsa, Karsa is good, he has a strong foundation, is a top student in the version, and can have a good chemistry with Rookie."

"Needless to say, mid laner Rookie is in pretty good shape among the three saints and one emperor."

"The AD is Photic. What about that esports Xiao Yan? I heard he's always been very talented, but he's always been suppressed by JKL and has been on the bench."

"Assist PPGOD, I know this, Whip of God!"

A group of e-sports enthusiasts discussed the matter excitedly and read V5's latest Weibo report.

...A dozen seconds later...

"No, who is this top laner Mebius?"

The sudden appearance of an unfamiliar top laner left the LPL audience a little confused. The other four players may not be the top in the league, but at least they have some fame so that they know who they are. At a glance, the lineup does not have a promising future, but at least they can look forward to a ticket to the playoffs.

Is this the top laner?
Although he looks handsome, what about his strength? How is his strength?
Some proactive viewers started searching for detailed information about the new top laner, and found the most important one among a row of dispensable data.

The new top laner brought up by Saint Spear himself.

What the hell!

The e-sports fans who were originally a little confused instantly changed their tone.

No wonder he looks like an old friend, it turns out he is actually an old friend's follower.

Although Saint Spear's right to be exempt from criticism for winning the championship did not even last for one night and many trolls criticized Saint Spear as the worst key top laner in history, one thing cannot be denied is that if V5 can inherit half of Saint Spear's slickness, and can stay in the top lane without collapsing and still have some voice, then the current lineup of V is actually quite solid.

And within the V5 team.

The group also started the team's initial running-in under tight time constraints.

Before the start of the LPL Spring Split, they had a Demacia Cup as a transition. To be honest, the prizes in this competition were useless and there was almost no prize money. It was purely to fill the long period of time when the audience had no games to watch. Even the LPL players who could hold their main positions hated this competition because it took up their few holidays.

But for the reorganized team V5, it is very necessary to participate in and win this kind of competition.

to be honest.

The German Cup is a gas station for newcomers and a nursing home for the elderly.

It not only gives new players a certain amount of exposure, but also provides a place for players returning from vacation to practice.

However.
After only a few days of getting used to the team, Luo Ji felt that he had underestimated LPL.

The difference from LDL is that in LPL, the coach will instill in you more professional habits and career applications. In other words, he needs to remember more knowledge and work hard to turn this knowledge into his muscle memory.

This is quite a painful process.

Almost every day was filled with military training, with all sorts of things like Colonel Chicken Nuggets, Pistol Legs, Army Hot Pot, Veteran BBQ, etc., and there was never a break from the late-night snacks ().

Just a few days.

He felt that his understanding of the game had undergone a drastic change compared to before, and even though this change was still continuing, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

As an adult who has been beaten by society, he deeply understands that if he does not suffer today, he will suffer tomorrow. If he suffers today, it will be even more painful tomorrow.

Understand it sooner and adapt sooner.

When I really feel like I can't bear the hardship anymore, I just take a few bites of barbecue, and hope in life is rekindled.

"Why, you can't hold on any longer?"

Nofe sat beside Luo Ji, who seemed to be hollowed out, with a smile on his face, but in his heart he was very surprised at his growth. This surprise was not only reflected in his attitude towards learning, but also in his attitude towards learning.

What is a professional player?

Putting aside the halo of achievements, these so-called professional players are just a group of children generally aged 18-23, and children of this age are at their most rebellious.

The better ones may admit it in words, but I don't know how they will treat you badly behind your back.

The bad ones will get angry and stand up to confront you.

How does the coach educate the players?

One word: Spray!

There is no one who has never been scolded by a coach in their career, especially newcomers who have just entered the industry. They are always scolded badly for various reasons.

But Luo Ji managed to hold on, even finding the energy to roll his eyes at him:
"I was just thinking about a question."

"Oh?"

"Normally, professional players are those who become pros because they can't continue studying. But the problem is that now they have to memorize so much information like they did when they were studying. Doesn't that mean they've been playing pro for nothing?"

Nofe suddenly fell into deep thought.

like
Is this really the case?

On the other side, Xiao Yan and the others who heard their conversation nodded in approval.

They are all internet-addicted teenagers. In the beginning, apart from money, the biggest reason for them to pursue professional careers was because they were not good at studying. Who would have thought that after becoming professional players, they still could not escape the pain of studying.

"But you're a pretty fast learner."

PPGOD took the initiative to speak.

As a support born in 00, according to the sayings of real 20, virtual 21, shaking 22, hair 23, immediate 24, fast 25, want 26, will 27, just 28, rush 29, he will soon be 30 years old. He has seen not many newcomers, but not too few either.

"You've laid a solid foundation. I saw people saying you were personally trained by Saint Spear Brother?"

"It's a bit too much to train him personally, but I do play with him more." Luo Ji thought about it carefully and felt that it would be better not to occupy the title of Holy Spear Brother before he had any achievements.

"No wonder."

All the contestants in the room nodded. As for Luo Ji's attempt to cover up his mistake, they didn't take it to heart at all.

joke.

If someone hadn't increased the intensity for you in advance, a normal player who was exposed to the intensity of LPL for the first time would have collapsed long ago.

after all
On the other side, "DreamMaker", which looks very similar to Xu Xiu, had already been sunk by Nofe's training plane. It was lying on the sofa and doubting its life. Of course, it might also be because it was full.

As time goes by.

The group also successfully moved from Nanjiang to Modu.

V5 also successfully participated in the Demacia Cup during the transition period from early to mid-December.

Luo Ji attached great importance to his debut battle from the beginning.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

Because the Demacia Cup does not only have LPL teams, but also has anchor teams and LDL teams. In addition, the Demacia Cup is not very popular with the audience. Therefore, even if there are many people watching the Demacia Cup online, there are very few people watching it.

Faced with their extremely exaggerated KDA, I just felt that they were bullying the weak.

after all
The relegation match emperor SMLZ before the new year and the talented Wei Shen have proved more than once that there is an insurmountable gap between LPL and LDL, not to mention the anchor team.

Until the last round of the group stage.

The two LPL teams finally met, and this time they happened to meet OMG, who successfully eliminated them at this point in the previous life.

The night before the game.

Coach Nofe hastily pulled them into a room for a meeting. As for the materials on the table?
Perhaps because time was too tight, Luo Ji would like to say that watching it is the same as not watching it at all.

Top laner Pheasant is the biggest star of OMG. If I remember correctly, his special skill seems to be Rambo, but his strength should not be underestimated. After all, everyone in LPL knows that OMG is the famous Huangpu Military Academy for top laners.

Jungler AKI was at his most popular in 24 and was known as the Saiyan jungler. In addition to his afro, his famous example was that he successfully hooked up with the ancient commentator Xiaolou and married a rich woman.

Mid laner Steel doesn't have any famous experiences or achievements.

The bottom lane is Able+COLD, and the support is also a marginal person, but the AD at this point is promoted as Uzi's successor. As one of the three major ADs of the new generation, he naturally has strength.

This OMG is a typical team driven by both top and bottom cores.

Correct.

There is no need to consider what shape it originally was. In an environment like LPL where players have more say than coaches and weak teams basically like to play randomly when they are unfavorable, fame and strength are the ultimate proof of holding the right to speak.

The most famous players in this team are the top laner and AD.

The entire meeting.

Luo Ji basically lets his mind run wild.

As mentioned above, in addition to the fact that coaches prefer famous players in weak teams, coaches also do the same in medium and strong teams.

Coach Nofe put almost all his focus on the bottom lane.

"Xiao Yan", who wanted to focus on Mo Qi's poorness, successfully blasted the opponent's Able to pieces with a Buddha's Fury Lotus, but he seemed to remember that the reason why V5 ​​was eliminated from the German Cup was because their own bottom lane combination was destroyed when fighting Able, which led to the snowball defeat?

In other words, Xiao Yan has not awakened yet.

Forget about the Buddha's Fury Lotus, he might not even have learned the Eight Extreme Collapse yet. He probably only knows the Fire Blowing Palm.

However, in the regular season, he will truly blossom and bear fruit, breaking through all the way until he kills Yunlan Sect TES, and finally revealing his Ni (referring to color), Bo (referring to shape), Long (referring to pattern), and Gen (referring to part) in front of the entire network, and then his Taoist heart will be completely shattered.

But he didn't say.

After all, he is only related to the Trisolarans in name, not actually a Trisolaran himself. He cannot tell others what will happen in the future, and others will not believe him.

Moreover.

The allocation of resources and the weight of the team are achieved through one's own efforts. What he needs is more games and performances to slowly prove himself.

"Also, I dream."

"what?"

"Calling you 'Mebius' sounds weird, so I'll just call you 'Mebius' from now on."

"But that's Gaia!"

Nofe waved his hand, indicating that this was not a problem at all.

ID is just a way to address a player. Don't even mention calling me Meng. If you're used to it, you can call me Wangcai or Goudan.

Luo Ji twitched his lips.

When he chose his ID in LDL, he really chose it randomly. He just used a name that flashed through his mind. If he had known this day would happen, he would have chosen a cooler ID.

"do not mind the details."

Nofe continued, "Having discussed the other four positions, I'd like to know what you think about top lane."

"I followed the coach's arrangements completely." Luo Ji responded almost subconsciously.

"That's fine too."

He thought for a while and then looked away again.

no way.

He also wants to take care of the newcomers.

But the current situation is that the group stage is only BO1. If they win tomorrow's game against OMG, they will advance, and if they lose, they will have a day off. Naturally, he will be more inclined to star players.

Jungler XLB was praised to the skies by PDD when they won the S9 championship.

Xiao Yan now also has that kind of momentum.

These two people were undoubtedly the ones he valued most, and Luo Ji could only exchange helpless glances with "DreamMaker".

The next day.

At the Shanghai Sports Center, when the players of the two teams finally appeared at the sports center, the camera of the LPL Demacia Cup live broadcast room was finally turned on.

【I'm coming. 】

[Haven't Song Sheng and Kasa returned today? Then I'll send it.]

[I came here to watch Xiao Yan's Revenge. If you don't understand, just ask, which one is Xiao Yan?]

【V5's staffing is impressive at first glance. 】

[Wait, what the hell is this top laner's ID? Mebius!?]

At this point in time, LPL viewers are in a state of irritability due to not having watched any games for a long time. What they most want is to see those well-known players put on a visual feast for them, whether it is positive or negative.

But now?
When I clicked in, I saw that many of the IDs were familiar, but when the regular season was broadcast, I would turn off the live broadcast as soon as I saw it, and it suddenly felt boring.

Because it was a natural disaster period.

There were not many spectators at the German Cup. Everyone was just playing games facing a bunch of empty chairs, so Luo Ji naturally didn't feel nervous at all.

Before going on the court, he just looked at the OMG team who were also preparing to go on the court with a lot of emotion.

In my previous life, I was just a keyboard warrior typing frantically on the screen, but now it’s different. Now I’m really fighting them offline, and it’s real offline in minutes.

"What? A bit excited?"

Among the starting five.

The one who has the best relationship with Luo Ji is not the mid laner who is treated the same as him, nor the oldest support, nor the famous XLB, but the AD player Xiao Yan. Born in 02, he is only 19 years old this year and feels that he is the one closest in age to Luo Ji.

Faced with the proactive goodwill shown by this future Brother Niu Zi, Luo Ji was also happy to accept it.

"It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited, but looking at the empty auditorium, I wouldn't be too excited. It was just a pheasant."

"So confident?"

Xiao Yan looked a little surprised.

He felt a little psychological pressure when fighting against Able. After all, he was just e-sports Xiao Yan and not the real Xiao Yan. Whether he could live up to this nickname had to be verified by his actual strength. Moreover, Able had not achieved much in all these years and had become a veteran in the league. He felt that he still had some advantages.

If that doesn't work, just wait until you're old.

But Brother Pheasant?

That’s a top laner with a real reputation!

“That’s how confident I am.”

Luo Ji nodded seriously. "Anyway, if I win, it's because I, the newcomer, pulled off an upset and defeated Shan Ji. If I lose, it's because I, the newcomer, was brave enough to challenge myself. The future is promising, and the bonus period is mine. As long as I don't give it away, any way I play is right."

Xiao Yan:.
Damn, how could he forget this!
