My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 103: The so-called tactics are to add more water to the noodles and more noodles to the water

Compared to all regular season games.

The BO5 loss to RNG obviously exposed more things.

The playoffs are a comprehensive collision from hero pool to laning to vision to team battles and even tactical systems. The more you rub against strong teams, the more your team's problems will be exposed.

In a sense.

Nofe was actually very happy about this BO5 defeat.

Although they have been leading the LPL with an undefeated record and have won the winner's group, their title is obviously more legendary, but he knows that V5 needs such a defeat to wear off the team's impatience after the winning streak, and also needs such a failure to make the entire team reflect.

Failure is not scary.

What I am afraid of is not correcting after failure, and failing when I shouldn’t fail.

If you lose in the playoffs, you still have a chance to revive in the loser group, but if you lose in MSI or the World Championship, you will have to wait until next year.

It's just like falling in love.

It is best not to delay things that can be resolved by breaking up until divorce. This is essentially the same principle.

[I'm not an 2D character: What do you mean? You didn't hide away and drop pearls after losing the game, did you?]

【I am not a wife control:? 】

[I'm not an 2D person: Don't be polite with me. If you have any grievances, just tell me directly. I'm a professional, and I usually don't laugh when I hear others complain.]

[I'm not a wife-obsessed person: Get lost! ~]

After casually sending a few messages to deal with the news about Saint Spear Brother, in the post-match interview, Luo Ji also changed his previous style and took the initiative to take the C position in the interview seat.

"What do I think of the game? We lost, that's a fact, they played better than us and they deserved the win."

Even though I feel bad about losing the game.

But Luo Ji knew that at this moment he should face the camera instead of avoiding it.

"V5 lost today's game, but your performance in the top lane was remarkable. What do you think were the reasons for the loss today? How do you feel about the team's overall performance today?"

obviously.

This question is just shouted out to stir up trouble.

The media doesn't care what you think. They only care about whether the news released today can be sold at a good price. Asking such a question is a naked attempt to sow discord and set a trap for him.

Admit it, it's just that the newcomers are immature.

If I deny it, it would seem a bit hypocritical.

"Many times, statistics cannot reflect a person's role on the field. It alienates the person's efforts. We naturally have our reasons for losing, but we should not dwell on the problems. Instead, we should discover them, correct them, solve them, and then successfully get revenge."

The eyes of the people behind the camera lit up during the interview.

"Do you think you can definitely make it out of the loser's bracket and get revenge on RNG?"

"Of course, I have always believed in my teammates. We went from a 16-game losing streak last season to a 16-game winning streak this season. We have always been on a path called miracles. Maybe the occasional waves will make us temporarily embarrassed, but in the end, it will definitely be me and my teammates who reach the other side."

[The pattern of the Dream God.]

[As expected of a disciple trained by Lao Qiang, his answers to this interview were very mature.]

He's C on the court, and he's still C off the court. He really makes me cry.

[All kidding aside, V5's defeat actually came at a very opportune moment. In the short term, it allowed them to identify problems and adjust their tactics. In the long term, if they do advance to MSI, this defeat will also wash away their pride in advance.]

[You have to remember, this team has only been reorganized for one season, but they've already won every regular season game and even played a full best-of-five series against the powerhouse RNG in the upper bracket of the playoffs. This track record means they have unlimited potential.]

The entire interview.

Luo Ji never openly complained about his teammates from beginning to end, and even frankly acknowledged the strength of his opponents and his own shortcomings.

Of course, the most important thing is that he shared the pressure on his teammates, which made the V5 players feel somewhat guilty.

Although I am unwilling to lose the game.

But Luo Ji, who had been tempered by society, accepted the failure calmly afterwards. After all, he still had the resurrection armor, right?
After the show.

Nofe clearly found that during the post-match review, the team's cohesion and seriousness had reached a higher level compared to before.

The two veterans, Rookie and Karsa, looked determined.

Xiao Yan and PPGOD also widened their eyes silently, and immediately started training after the disbandment, even training that could be described as crazy.

They were already working until three or four in the morning, and now they have even started to work all night.

Looking at the team members who were immersed in guilt and training.

In the conference room.

The expressions on the faces of the three coaches, Nofe, Zero, and GimGoon, gradually relaxed.

"We should be thankful for the existence of the double-elimination system. It gives them hope for revenge and also gives us greater possibilities."

"Indeed, after this BO5, Photic may have truly grown."

"Sometimes, talent is really unreasonable. Fortunately, we have this kind of talent in our team as well."

Say it.

The three of them laughed together.

They knew that in terms of talent, Xiao Yan did have a slight gap with the top ADs in the league. His playing style throughout the regular season was more of a Korean AD style, that is, dealing as much damage as he consumed resources, which is commonly known as the god of the game.

I have to say something here.

This style of play is not a bad thing. Many LPL ADs cannot deal the corresponding damage if you give them the corresponding resources.

Take positions 1-5 in DOTA in the MOBA game as an example.

In the eyes of V5's coach.

The number one position is undoubtedly played by Luo Ji, who is extremely talented and hardworking. The number two position is undoubtedly played by Rookie, who pursues aggressiveness in laning. Xiao Yan is usually the number three position, and the fourth and fifth positions are played by the jungler and support respectively.

This division is correct.

And V5 has the potential to complete this split.

Then why did the bottom lane still explode?
Because the fifth one.

In order to make the bottom lane more comfortable, Nofe deliberately tilted a lot of resources to the bottom lane in the BP. RNG's BP thinking was the opposite. They tried to ensure the hero selection in the mid and jungle as much as possible, just to make Xiao Yan understand.

He must realize that:
When facing a strong enemy that cannot be defeated in the short term, you can only choose between being the C and winning the game.

This is cruel.

But e-sports is a place that requires a lot of talent. If V5 wants to win the game, they must make Xiao Yan willing to be the third position to withstand pressure and shift the focus of BP to the top, middle and jungle.

And be patient.

Be able to resist all kinds of temptations from the opponent and guard the line well.

Just like DRX, which won the World S12 championship.

Deft really didn't have much gas left in the tank, but he had a clear self-positioning, knew that he was a pressure-resistant third position, and fulfilled his duties perfectly.

Then the teammates lived up to expectations.

DRX won the final S12 championship.

The coach understands this.

The players understand this, too.

Luo Ji understood this even more clearly.

As the saying goes: Not fighting is fighting.

Because he can play the sacrificial role for the team, he can also play the carry role to save the team.

The LPL business alliance is very realistic.

Almost no team will offer a maximum salary to a defensive top laner, even though defense is more likely to win championships, and it is not as eye-catching as an offensive top laner to gain off-court traffic.

If he wants to prove his worth, his statistics must be impressive. He can sacrifice for the team, but when sacrificing for the team cannot win the game.

Then.

He will not hesitate to ask the coach for his own say on the court.

"But is my dream really okay?" Zero looked at Luo Ji, the only one who did not do extra training but ran outside to relax in the fresh air, with a worried look on his face.

"It's fine."

Nofe looked at Luo Ji, who was walking outside with a somewhat lonely figure, and shook his head.

"As his first defeat since officially joining the LPL, no amount of training would be as unforgettable as remembering this one defeat."

"Trust him." "He can adjust himself."

After being forced into the loser group.

The next thing V5 will study is the winner between TES and JDG.

From a data perspective, TES has a natural advantage in the bottom lane. Among the four teams in the playoffs, JDG, which was almost beaten by the bottom lanes of the other three teams, should be able to win easily.

however.

The world played a huge joke on TES.

If TES had played against JDG before playing against V5, JDG would really have no way to deal with TES. However, the BO5 against V5 exposed TES's weakness in lane switching operations.

That.
Redmi will not be polite to you.

What is tactics?

The so-called tactics is to add more water to the surface, and more surface to the water. If you are weak in lane switching and strong in laning against your opponent, then I will target you in BP and arrange lane changing tactics at the same time.

obviously.

This tactic worked extremely well for TES.

Judging from White Crescent's BP and lane swapping, even if the three of them were to form a three-way combo, they were still no match for Redmi. In the same BO5 game, JDG finally managed to steal the game through various BP suppression and tactical games.

3:2
JDG advanced to the next round.

Then.

V5's opponent is obvious.

It can almost be said that among the four teams in the playoffs, this is the one they are most willing to play against, and it is also the one with the weakest bottom lane combination relatively speaking.

"It's unbelievable that JDG actually won."

"Who says it isn't?"

In front of the big screen.

The V5 team looked at the result of the game in front of them with surprise. Even JDG was able to defeat TES by defeating the stronger team.

Then they.

It is also possible that they can successfully defeat RNG in the future by defeating the strong with the weak.

Correct.

At present, the mentality of all V5 members has been readjusted.

They are no longer the top of the standings and the defending champions of the winners' group with consecutive wins in the regular season, but have put aside their arrogance and picked up their challenger mentality again.

"TES must be freaking out. They put together such a luxurious galaxy battleship this year, but after all the ups and downs, they suddenly fell."

"Who says it's not true? As the manager of TES, Guo Hao is in such a miserable state."

Follow the extension of the lens.

They even saw Guo Hao standing at the end of the corner with a sad look on his face as he welcomed the contestants off the stage.

ear.

Even some strange BGM started to sound:
"Piao Piao~, the north wind is whistling~"

and many more!

What's the fuss?
No, where does the BGM in this room come from?

Nofe took a look around.

Only then did he realize that Luo Ji was using his mobile phone to open the music player software.

"My dream, turn off the music. It's not necessary to play music all the time."

"Oh."

Luo Ji nodded.

Then he paused the music on his phone.

As for the outcome of the game, although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

As the only coach in LPL whose value is higher than that of star players, Hongmi's contribution to the team is indeed a bit outrageous.

Especially after breaking through the opponent's routine.

It's actually easy to understand.

Before the BO5 game with V5 in the playoffs, TES was like a handsome man and a beautiful woman wearing a mask. It could even be understood as a "doll sister". If you don't take off the mask, others don't know what you really look like and will really think you are a handsome man or a beautiful woman.

But once you take off the mask, the mystery is gone.

It’s hard to say anything else.

But at least there will definitely be a significant decrease in the number of paying viewers, and the same is true for the coaches of the playoff teams.

To sum up, it is probably:
Hongmi's clever plan to stabilize the canyon, Guo Hao sighed to the sky.

Change lanes and break Taobo's soul. Sir, I am just an ordinary person.

Just when Nofe was about to say something.

suddenly.

The smell of fried chicken filled the entire conference room.

He looked around again.

It was discovered that Luo Ji, who had been playing BGM on his mobile phone before, had now successfully finished the KFC family bucket.

Nofe:?
"No, where did you get KFC?"

"It's a takeaway delivery. I sneaked out to get it while you were busy watching the game."

Luo Ji replied as a matter of course.

By the way, he also took out the other orphan barrels in the bag and distributed one to each person.

"With the strict control outside, there are still people sending it?"

"Of course, the greatest heroes are those who feed their country and its people. In this hungry city, there are always knights in yellow robes who silently contribute."

"Niubi."

JDG's victory over TES caused a huge stir, and on the other side, online public opinion also began to thoroughly discuss the outcome of the next round of games.

after all
It seems that Karsa and 369 are facing off again.

And judging by the performance in the playoffs, when both teams have TES48 members, the virus may fail.

[It's coming soon! The loser's bracket finals!!!]

[Another big drama series on my set: "Who is to blame for Top Esports' S11 performance?"]

The problem is that these two bottom lanes are a breakthrough point for RNG. It seems that anyone who advances to the finals and plays against RNG will have a headache.

[V5 at least needs to beat JDG, otherwise Rookie will really repeat his regular season winning streak and finish fourth.]

[Believe in Mebius. Okay, believe in Mebius.]

anyway.

These four teams have a good chance in this year's S12.

Even for V5, who lost to RNG, the last BO5 match was played to the full extent, and no one can predict what will happen in the next BO5.

The night before the game.

The entire V5 training room was brightly lit. It was already late at night, around five or six in the morning, when everything should have been quiet.

In the training room.

The scene of vibrant life and flourishing things is before our eyes again.

"With this kind of momentum, JDG will not be our end, and of course, RNG will not be either." Nofe looked at the lights in the training room with satisfaction, then turned to look at Zero and GimGoon who were also full of energy.

"As a coaching staff, we can't hold them back."

"continue."

Zero and Jin Gong looked at each other, smiled at each other subconsciously, and then picked up the information in their hands again.

As the saying goes, sesame paste is cut off at the smallest detail, and fate plays a trick on the greedy pig.

They won’t be able to see Los Angeles at 4 a.m. anyway, but they can still compete for takeout breakfast at 6 a.m.
