My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 11: There is no shortcut to success

“Comeback!!!”

"Nice, this was so cool."

"Fuck! I thought this one was over! Oh my god! This is too strong!"

"If this were to happen during the regular season, I'd definitely be in the top five for a week."

The moment the crystal exploded.

All the V5 players couldn't help but cheer.

When the camera is focused on someone, there is only one person who stands out from the crowd.

Luo Ji, the biggest contributor to the game, chose to pick up the water glass on the table and took a sip quietly at this moment.

It feels like watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard without being disturbed by praise or criticism.

of course.

He was actually pretending to be an expert without saying anything. He knew that the camera would definitely be focused on him after winning the game. Without saying anything else, he just wanted to show off his status and create the image of a cold-hearted person.

Otherwise, wouldn’t this be a waste of time?

"This one is perfect."

After walking back to the lounge from the front desk, Coach Nofe immediately came over to greet him and took Luo Ji's peripherals. "Of course, I also hope that you can maintain this state and bring new changes to this team."

As one of the few coaches in LPL whose name can be found on Baidu.

Although Nofe had a history of illness, he still had a solid foundation.

His problem is that he is too stubborn. The defeat of EDG's Luka Modric in S7 and HLE's second-to-last place in the league in S10 were both caused by this famous coach. Because his BP was too stubborn, he was the kind of "Korean paper-rational" coach.

If you don't understand.

So think about it, if you are playing a mobile game and you pull out a team of the highest level gold team, do you also think that there is still a reason for you to lose if you give up this gold team?
Then it lost in terms of level features and BOSS mechanisms.

But this doesn't mean he is incapable.

in contrast.

He has very strong abilities and a wealth of tactical reserves. He just needs some top players with strong execution capabilities.

But in Luo Ji's eyes.

The current coach Nofe may even be more suitable for him at this stage than Hongmi.

Because Hongmi will ask him to become the top laner that Hongmi has in mind, but Nofe has great faith in his players' operations and execution, so he will give Luo Ji a certain amount of freedom.

Luo Ji nodded seriously and said with a smile:
"That depends on the coach's subsequent training. I'm very obedient."

Nofe's mouth curved higher and higher, and he patted his shoulder seriously.

"Keep it up, I'll keep watching you."

"Yes!"

That night.

Although it was just a victory in a crucial group match, the group still got together and had a good takeout meal.

Yes, only takeout is allowed.

Because they don't have much time left in the German Cup, going out for a meal can take several hours, which is a bit of a luxury for them at this stage. At the same time, this meal can be regarded as a gift to XLB or Xiao Xu Xiu, because Karsa and Rookie are about to return.

"What a pity! Brother Long may still have a chance to perform, but I probably don't." Perhaps because he drank too much, Xiao Xu Xiu was a little depressed at this moment.

He really felt that he had found a sense of teamwork in today's game.

He was extremely fascinated by the atmosphere of shouting and rushing forward together on the field. Of course, he was young enough and was not worried about not having the opportunity to play in the future.

But it is not always possible to find such a suitable teammate.

"Then just try your best. You're really good now. Can the coach still hold you down and not let you play?"

"Come on, try to get Brother Ji to the bench as soon as possible."

As he said this, Luo Ji put his arm around his shoulders.

"besides."

"Actually, getting a chance to play is very simple. The simplest thing is to find your own position. For example, what do you think is the deepest impression of me today?"

"Is it strong laning, strong teamfighting, or strong support?"

The sudden question made Xiao Xuxiu subconsciously stunned for a moment, and she spoke hesitantly:

"The third one?"

"Yes, that's my current label: support ability, or perhaps a broad perspective. So, if your competitor is Rookie, what can you practice and learn that Rookie can't?"

Xiao Xu Xiu suddenly fell into deep thought.

He doesn't need to point out too many things, just simple suggestions so that the other party can understand what he wants to say. He is always happy to do this kind of thing that comes naturally.

The professional arena is a place of fame and fortune, but also a place of relationships.

Naturally, there are grievances among individual players, but more of them are young enthusiasts who are fighting together in this arena. Otherwise, if you make enemies with this one today and that one tomorrow, what will you do if these two come to your home team next season?
The club doesn't care about any grudges you have. If you can't make it, just leave. It's that simple.

Perhaps Xiao Xu Xiu realized something, and the light in his eyes began to gradually return. XLB, who was sitting next to Luo Ji, drank it all in one gulp. Having successfully learned the skills, he was already planning to study Karsa's hero pool overnight.

the other side.

Xiao Yan and PPGOD listened quietly to the conversation between the two newcomers, and a hint of recognition flashed across each other's faces.

After just one game, they had a completely different understanding of their top laner.

Warm, kind and approachable.

The inexplicable affinity that emanates from his body always makes people subconsciously ignore his age, making them involuntarily regard him as the big brother of the team.

This did not make them feel that there was anything wrong, but instead made them feel that this was more in line with the character of the top laner in their minds.

German Cup.

There will be a one-day gap between the group stage matches and the knockout stage, and Rookie and Karsa happened to come back on this day. Adhering to the idea that Rookie helped him make money, he must clearly praise the sponsor.

Early the next morning, Luo Ji was waiting at the gate and successfully met the other party.

Facing such a sensible little brother.

Rookie, who is a good guy himself, was naturally amused and smiled.

The atmosphere was also pretty good when he was in IG. Everyone treated him like an older brother back then. After being backstabbed, he thought he had to re-acquaint himself with the environment after changing teams, but Luo Ji's praise immediately made him feel like he was back home.

This guy has a bright future.
A little later, the two of them also waited for Karsa who came later. When Luo Ji saw him, he stood at attention immediately: "Report to General Ka, I have been training Gnar and Barrel. Please give me your instructions."

Upon hearing this.

Kasa, who had just gotten out of the car, almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face.

He glanced at Rookie, who was covering his mouth and laughing, with resentment, and his tone was also helpless:
"Did you teach it?"

"No."

Rookie shook his head righteously. "It's mainly because you're too labeled, you know? That Bible verse with 369 was way out of the loop."

"Get lost! How could a new guy say that to me without your instructions?" Kasa grabbed Luo Ji's shoulders and said domineeringly, "Don't be afraid. He's Lao Deng, and so am I. If he gets angry with you, just come over and tell me quietly. We can quietly isolate him and kill him."

After saying that, the three of them burst into laughter.

The return of the two key players in the mid and jungle gave the new V5 great confidence.

Especially since Karsa and Rookie are both well-known good guys in the league, and Xiao Yan is even more familiar with Karsa. The return of the two did not affect the relationship with the substitutes XLB and Xiao Xu Xiu. Instead, they successfully made the two of them call them big brothers with their unique personal charm, and the atmosphere in the whole team was harmonious.

On the side.

Nofe narrowed his eyes as he sensed the atmosphere in the room.

As a coach, he also likes this kind of lively and non-violent environment, and the root of all this is
He looked at Luo Ji. In his hand was the LDL data chart that Luo Ji had not shown him when he joined the company.

That's a pretty exaggerated large polygonal pattern.

Considering the tight schedule of the German Cup, after a short period of adjustment, assistant coach Zero also began to introduce them to their opponents in the quarterfinals.

Because of the butterfly effect.

Having successfully defeated OMG, they naturally replaced the knockout stage position that OMG held in the previous life. The next team they will face is LNG, a wealthy club that also made drastic changes and formed a galaxy battleship in S12.

Top laner Ale, the spokesperson for 50 Yuan, is one of the few outstanding top laners in LPL that Luo Ji knows. His main strength is his laning ability, and he is sometimes a god and sometimes a devil when he is on the field.

Jungler Tarzan, the most powerful mercenary jungler in LPL after the richest man in Vietnam, is a terrifying rhythm engine. With him, a playoff ticket is basically secured.

Mid laner Doinb, also known as the roaming mid laner, warrior mid laner, nice mid laner, and no-blame mid laner, has a very high gaming IQ. He successfully retired in the original world after making money, and made a comeback after encountering an accident and lacking money and traffic, and successfully captured the all-star IG.

As for the bottom lane.

There is not much to say about Denghuang and Green Hair. Denghuang's talent has not been realized in the year of S11. Even in the S12 regular season, he was just average. It was not until the playoffs that he began to shine.

As for the green-haired pure alliance Lao Deng.

The brain may be there, but the hands are no longer under my control.

This team is aiming to win the championship at first glance.

Zero was still showing the LNG players' personal hero pools and the heroes that had been ranked the most recently, while Luo Ji's mind was still empty and he was lost in thought.

The knockout matches will be BO5 matches.

The clash between the two teams was undoubtedly also a clash between the mid and jungle of both sides. Considering the incompatible personalities of Rookie and Doinb, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a grudge game between the mid and jungle.

Then
The support given to the wing lanes in the early stages will be relatively small.

The player he was going to face off against was Ale, the "50 Yuan" top laner known for his laning strength. Seriously, he was already thinking about how he could be a slacker in the top lane.

"What's wrong? Are you a little unconfident in beating Ale?" As if noticing his absent-mindedness, Kasa beside him asked in a low voice.

"It's not a question of confidence or lack of confidence. If you really can't win, you can still be timid."

Luo Ji organized his words and continued:

"I'm just curious. Ale is a solo player, Doinb is a TP player for resources, and Tarzan, while a utility jungler, also eats up resources early on. If these three sit at the same table, will LNG's limited resources really be enough to share?"

"Sigh~"

Kasa took a deep breath.

like
It's really hard to imagine that scene.

After the meeting, the GIF images of Luo Ji's super long-distance E flash E competition finally began to spread slowly on the Internet.

For a player who has only played in the German Cup group stage, this kind of GIF can not bring much traffic, but at least it allows a small number of people to know that there is such a player.

In fact, there are quite a few new players in LPL every year, but most of them play as starters or substitutes in the weaker teams.

most of the time.

If you lose a game, you're out, and there's no chance to play again in your life. So many people have actually played professionally, but the audience won't have any memory of it. The spread of this GIF has at least given some viewers an impression:
V5 has a new top laner, his blue steel shadow is flying around in the canyon.jpg
By the early morning of the day of the competition, it was already three or four in the morning.

At this time when the north has already fallen asleep but the nightlife in the south has just reached its climax, V5's training room is still brightly lit.

If it is an LPL team in the playoffs period.

Most of the players on the teams that will make it to the playoffs are still awake. After all, the tickets are right in front of them, and last-minute preparation is part of the Chinese people's DNA.

But in the German Cup, few players would train so late.

Xiao Yan (Photic) is not a hard-working player.

At this time of day, he would usually be asleep in bed or inheriting and practicing the traditional skills passed down by his ancestors, but tonight, his mind was full of thoughts about the game with OMG.

It is still the genes in the Chinese people’s DNA that are causing the outbreak.

Before going to bed, a lot of random thoughts always run through my mind.

such as:

Winner: Goodnight

Lost: event, time, place, person, trigger, root cause, direct cause, impact, revelation

As he thought about it, he gradually became unable to sleep, so he picked up some clothes and walked out of the room.

Although it is the reorganized V5 club, V5's base in Shanghai is not as big as those of the wealthy teams. After a while, they arrived at the door of the training room.

Follow the dazzling lights.

He saw two figures concentrating in the room.

Nofe stared at the screen playing back the video. As the video played, he would pause from time to time and make corrections on his notebook.

aside.

Luo Ji had his back to him, and the screen in front of his computer was not RANK but custom.

He used the same hero over and over again, unleashing the same skill. It was dull, tedious, and wooden, but he still persisted, like a programmed robot, doing the same monotonous work.

The only difference is that he will control the heroes in his hand to release them in different positions.

The atmosphere in the room was strangely harmonious.

quite a while
He seemed to have made some kind of decision.

He quietly slipped into the room and sat down quietly in his seat.

There was no need for too many words. Luo Ji and Nofe just glanced at his position, smiled, and returned to their own business.

If it is a veteran like Rookie, Karsa or PPGOD.

They will advise each other to go back and rest.

On the playing field.

For older players, being able to hold on occasionally is considered acceptable, and sometimes they even need psychological counseling or medication. However, it is relatively different for younger players, who hold on every day without any hesitation.

Of course I am referring to the players' competitive state.

They knew it from the beginning.

V5 is the Avenger.

As an emerging team with a mix of old and new players, they are lacking in strength, experience, mentality and awareness compared to the veteran players in their respective positions.

In the match against OMG.

Xiao Yan (Photic) has been deeply aware of this. He was even almost defeated by Able, who he thought was no match for him.

So, what are their chances of committing a crime?
It's hard work.

The German Cup is just a performance game, and not all teams will take it seriously and adjust their status.

This is an opportunity as well as a challenge.

Same operation.

Practice ten times and you’ll probably make a mistake.

Even if you practice a hundred times, you may make mistakes.

By practicing a thousand times and making no mistakes on the thousand and first time on the field, they will win their precious opportunity.

This is a profession.

There is no shortcut to success.
