My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 18: Pretending to make you fly~
Commentary desk.

The commentators responsible for this round of matches between V5 and FPX are Zhao Junri, a classic combination of one veteran, one new player and one useless player. The useless one is EDG's eldest prince Ai Loli, and the new one is not famous and is directly skipped.

Zhao Junri is the main attacker responsible for carrying the entire game.

The moment Kasa sneaked over, he focused all his attention on him.

"coming!"

"V5's first gank was initiated by Karsa as the top laner."

"This seems to be the first time in the entire German Cup that V5 has set the pace in the top half of the zone. Kennen controls the minion line very well, but the river is well guarded. Karsa will be easily spotted if he goes directly to the river."

"Wait! What is Karsa doing? He actually flashed directly to the dragon pit!?"

More than just commentary.

Even the audience was shocked by Karsa's decisive flash.

In the V5 team chat, Karsa tagged Jayce while muttering, "Seize the opportunity! Don't say I didn't help you gank! I even used my flash on this wave. Isn't that a good investment?"

"Enough! That's damn enough!" Under the camera, Luo Ji's joy was beyond words.

Tears.

It really made me cry.

As a newcomer, he could understand that he would not get any tactical support from the coach when he played. After all, there was a need to control the dragon in the early stages of professional competitions.

But for a top laner, it would be really difficult to survive without the help of the jungler in the early stages.

In the top lane where a wave of soldiers can establish an advantage and a single death can end the game, what does the arrival of the jungler mean?
Let me put it this way, there are only four words:

[Deus Ex Machina]!
Karsa's sudden appearance scared FPX's top laner, Xin Zhao, to death. The trinket eye was clearly there, but he didn't see anyone. How did Xin Zhao appear in his own jungle?

That level of shock.

It’s like late at night when no one is around, and your facial recognition AI suddenly recognizes that there’s someone next to you, but when you look over there’s nothing there.

Full of horror.

"What the hell, what is this?!"

He manipulated Jace into running.

But for the top and jungle players who had been keeping a close eye on him for a long time, if you let him run away, wouldn’t the jungler’s trip be in vain?
Luo Ji doesn't save any skills at all.

With the passive skill of W, he started at zero frame, flashed + E and rushed into Jayce's face.

Yes, he is not greedy at all.

If you can knock me down, E+passive A+W can stun the opponent with three layers of marks, and cooperate with the jungler to gank.

If you don't knock me away and flash away directly, then Zhao Xin will directly use three consecutive forks to knock you away, and combined with Kennen's passive stun, you can also take the opponent away.

Seeing Kennen's actions, Xiao Lao Hu was completely stunned. His reason told him that it was a waste to use flash at this time.

But as we all know, theory and practice are generally two different things.

What the mind knows, the body's subconscious reaction does not know, otherwise there would not be so many famous scenes of flashing and moving graves in ranked and professional competitions.

"Shu~"

Flash surrender.

Seeing this, Kasa's mouth corners were almost crooked with smile.

He didn't use W first, but got close and used E directly, slowed down the opponent and then used W, and cooperated with Kennen who caught up later, and killed Jayce with damage.

V5, Mebius killed FPX, Xiaolaohu
First Blood!

First blood is obtained.

"Wuhu~Godfather, Brother Ka, you are my godfather, I love you~" The moment he got the head, Luo Ji smiled happily.

Kennen fights Jayce.

Forced to dodge and send the line into the tower, what a great start!
After being a sacrifice for so long, this is the first time I have felt the humanistic care of the jungler dad. Perhaps even the little Tiger couldn't imagine how Karsa could go to such lengths for a rookie top laner.

This is not a question of whether to prevent it or not.

There are two things normal people won’t dodge when facing GANK. One is when it starts at zero frame, and the other is when the pre-swing is too long.

Don't ask why you don't hide.

If you ask, I won’t be afraid. If you ask again, I won’t be able to react at all.

This one flashes directly to the dragon pit and comes around to gank, and the other one also uses flash + E without any explanation for the combo. Who the hell can dodge it?
[Oh my god, this is GANK]

[Two decisive flashes! This V5 top laner played a solid and steady hook attack.]

[Mebius is like this. Anyone who has seen special effects knows that when light is projected and you don't use it immediately, it will summon an extremely strange thing.]

[Tiga: You just said "light", right? Whew! ~]

The decisiveness of Ueno's cooperation once again piqued the interest of the audience outside the screen, and the flash relocation of the little tiger's grave made many viewers laugh.

After discovering that Karsa’s jungler appeared in the top lane.

below.

LWX also commanded Hang to launch an attack quickly. Although the jungler was not nearby, the opponent didn't know it and took the opportunity to attack by taking advantage of the opponent's power.

unfortunately
Although Xiao Yan is a half-LPL newcomer, PPGOD next to him is not.

The "half-zone principle" was triggered.

(That is, if your jungler appears in one area, the other lane must shrink its defense to prevent being ganked)

Nothing.

Faced with the sudden shrinkage of V5's bottom lane duo, FPX could only bear the loss. Beichuan had some ideas about Karsa after seeing his position. After all, Zhao Xin had already used his flash, and he happened to be in the upper half of the lane. In theory, he could invade and fight back.

However.
Rookie's laning ability in the middle lane forced him to give up this idea.

At this moment, Gori's Akali was being pressed under the tower by Rookie.

It’s Rookie after all.

When playing against those first-tier mid laners, you may need to see their status, but when playing against second- or third-tier players like Gori, they will really suppress you without any negotiation.

of course.

The most important thing is to use long hands to beat short hands.

"Don't worry about farming, I'll help you watch the jungle."

"Thank you, Lao Song."

The cooperation between Lao Deng and Lao Deng is so smooth, which is completely different from those new mid laners.

the other side.

After getting the first blood and pushing the line into the tower with the help of the jungler, Luo Ji came out of his house with straw sandals, magic power book, and of course true eyes.

Speed ​​of movement, easy to pull.

Magic power, increased damage.

True eyes, feedback to teammates.

According to his understanding, he would not consider AD Kennen. In his cognition, Kennen is a hero only worthy of AP to fight against thunder. It is a pure waste of talent to build AD. If you are greedy for that suppression, it is better to choose Kalista directly in the top lane.

FPX's jungler Beichuan took note of Kennen's equipment.

just.

With a miraculous act of reverse thinking, Karsa successfully ganked and killed his own top laner Jayce. Now, the opponent's top laner has the advantage in experience and equipment, and should fight a little more aggressively.

If he also used reverse thinking to catch it at this time, wouldn't that be a big achievement! ?

Do it when you think of it.

He finished a round of clearing without getting anything, but he continued to move up after returning to the city for the second time, trying to help Xiao Lao Hu regain the advantage in the top lane.

However, he miscalculated again.

Although he clearly had the advantage in laning, Luo Ji still maintained a relatively conservative approach in the top lane.

He controlled the line, played it safe, and didn't even bother to eat the dangerous soldiers. It was as if the advantage was not his, but the opponent's.

this! ?

"Sure enough, he knows too well where his advantages lie."

V5's backstage lounge.

Although it was not the first time they had seen this, when Nofe and Zero saw this scene again on the court, they were still subconsciously shocked by Luo Ji's maturity.

Discipline!
He understood the importance of this thing too well.

In many people's minds, the top laner should probably beat the opponent in a single lane, mindlessly push the line and force the tower to gain an advantage, because that's what The shy did. But in fact, those who have played the game know that this style of play is quite hostile to the team's jungler.

If the jungler doesn't defend, everyone in the top lane will be killed, and the advantage gained will be lost in the next round.

If the jungler defends, his own rhythm will be disrupted, and the map resources will be out of control. In addition, the experience gain of the bottom lane has been reduced in the current version. If the opposing jungler cooperates with the mid lane to cross the tower twice, the bottom lane can be said to be directly ruined.

Of course, if you say that you can still get a double kill in every game without the jungler coming, and can kill and run away in every game without the jungler coming, then just ignore what I said.

Why does Superman need to play League of Legends? Why not go to the next door and save CN and Dota?
What every team really needs is a top laner who can hold his ground when the team sacrifices him, and can be effective when the team gives you an advantage.

This is already a top-level top laner.

The person who suffered the most from Luo Ji's retreat was FPX's jungler Beichuan.

He was not given any chance in the top lane and the wild monsters had not refreshed yet, so his trip was in vain, and in terms of experience he was back to the same starting line as Karsa's Zhao Xin.

Others won twice, he lost twice, which means he lost everything if you round it up.

I'm so defeated.

"No, is he really a newcomer? How can he be so cowardly!?" Beichuan muttered, but he could only accept the defeat and move back to the lower jungle area.

Just with this back and forth, he had naturally fallen into a rhythm disadvantage.

"If that's the case, then the news online that he was trained by Saint Spear Brother himself might be true." As if remembering something, surfing expert Little Tiger said.

"Ah? There's actually truth to the news on the Internet?"

"Occasionally, otherwise it's hard to explain why a rookie top laner can play so steadily."

No matter how much you don't want to admit it.

Xiao Lao Hu also has to face the reality, that is, the new top laner on the opposite side seems to belong to Lizhi.

Only the skin is red. If you peel off the skin, you will find that the inside is white. If you look deeper, you will find that the heart is black.

It's a dirty style of play, really.

FPX's jungler's time in the early game was wasted, so the ones who were comfortable were naturally the top, mid and jungle lanes on V5's side.

Since Luo Ji is one head ahead, there is no question of whether to counter or not.

In terms of basic attributes, Kennen has a range of 550, while Jayce's cannon form only has 500. Their basic movement speed is the same, but Kennen is ahead of him by a pair of straw sandals.

As the saying goes, an inch longer, an inch stronger.

In combat, length is crucial, and so is hardness.

Ok.

The above are all my nonsense. The actual thickness is what is most important.

While leading the opponent in length, Kennen also has a strong frequency (movement speed). As long as he is not successfully bombarded by the rich and handsome guy (EQ), or is not set up by a honey trap (a third party intervenes), then the laning phase will be stable.

Balance in the top lane equals advantage, the jungler has a relative advantage, and the middle lane has a natural advantage.

Isn't this the trident?
As their advantage in the top half of the division became increasingly apparent, Luo Ji excitedly spoke in the team chat: "Brother Ji, do you think this lineup has any flavor of the S8 Incheon IG trident?"

Rookie was stunned for a moment, and actually looked at the situation in confusion for a while.

"It's a bit interesting, but the trident back then had three paths: top, middle, and bottom."

"It's okay, the version has been updated now. This is the new trident of V5."

talking.

He actually shouted loudly in the team voice:

Luo Ji: "Come on, let's show them our V5 trident. I'll be the head!"

Kasa: "Respond! I'm second!!!"

Rookie: "Then I should be third."

Xiao Yan: "No, you guys took the three forks, what am I? Am I a halberd?"

PPGOD: "You are the halberd handle? If I assist you, wouldn't that make me the halberd handle?"

The bottom lane duo suddenly became a little messy.

How come when I was facing the line, I suddenly became a halberd handle and its hair?
Behind five people.

The referees who were in charge of observing the battle situation all had extremely painful expressions on their faces. As e-sports referees professionally trained by Fujii, they were all professionally trained not to laugh no matter how funny it was, so as not to disturb the players' state.

Unless you can't help it.
On the field, every lane is almost equivalent to an advantageous game, which is almost the advantage range for a "screen-peeking" jungler like Karsa.

After discovering that the top lane was particularly "sensible", he went back to the bottom lane and headed straight for it.

With Zhao Xin's protection, FPX didn't dare to attack V5's bottom lane easily, and could only wait for AKL to reach level to find an opportunity.

Even under the pressure of Miss Fortune and Riel, the Talon had to show up in the bottom lane.

Prevent the bottom lane from being blocked and tower-crossing.

This is the disadvantage of playing as a male knife in the jungle. Although the Wolf Head version can take off by killing two people, at the same time, this kind of assassin jungle has high returns but also often has high risks.

Simply put, he has almost no ability to control and retain people, and it is difficult for him to protect his own bottom lane.

Then I can only show my face to scare people.

Just by showing up, the little tiger in the top lane was in trouble. The rule of the half-zone principle is that my jungler is not here, and I don’t know where your jungler is, so it’s okay for me to be timid.

But both junglers are in the bottom lane, and I have the experience and item advantage. Isn't this just a slap in the face? Then why am I playing top lane?!

When he discovered that Mingming's male knife had already appeared in the bottom lane.

However, Jayce still dared to use Q first to try to draw a draw and reduce his health, and the murderous intent in his heart soared.

"Aminos!"

"How dare you play so recklessly when the jungler is not here?"

"You really have never seen the underworld!"

He still started with zero frames, and still charged forward with his E skill activated. This time, Kennen's suddenly aggressive playing style scared the little tiger to death.

Enter melee form in seconds and hammer it open.

but.
As mentioned before, the exchange of blood between these two heroes is actually very simple. As long as Jayce's cannon misses, Kennen will win no matter how he attacks.

But Luo Ji didn't expect the other party to react so quickly.

This instant switch to hammer form meant that even with his ultimate, he had no chance to kill the opponent alone since he didn't have flash.

As for the subsequent tower diving?

Again, professional players are not fools.

If he has flash, you may be able to make a move. If he doesn't have flash, he will naturally keep a good distance and save his skills to defend against your move.

but.

It is enough to force the opponent back to the tower.

At the moment when the troops were about to pass, Luo Ji's voice suddenly exploded in Rookie's ears in the team chat:

"Brother Chicken."

"I'm Reiner!~"

Rookie: "???"
