My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 185: Xiang Zhuang dances with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong

"369 really does seem to have improved a lot."

Outside the arena.

The professional players watched as the Sword Demon fought back and forth with Luo Ji, and they all sighed with admiration.

Although the phrase "give and take" means being sent home and then returning online, isn't this also a kind of "give and take"?
Today it is today.

All the major clubs and professional players in the LPL have already tacitly accepted this.

When the hero chosen by the top laner is countered by Luo Ji, the top laner is likely to lose the lane; conversely, when your own top laner counters the enemy Luo Ji, the top laner is likely to be unable to make a sound.

It's outrageous.

But that's the situation right now.

Just like during Zeus's peak years, every team in the World Championship assumed that their top lane would be at a disadvantage when facing T1.

369 has actually tried very hard.

If it weren't for Luo Ji's meteoric rise, he would have been the fastest-growing domestic top laner in the LPL during S12, and his mastery of Gragas even earned him an endorsement deal with Wusu Beer.

But this time, the counters were just too strong.

Yone is only afraid of top laners who can go all in and kill him instantly. Aatrox's chance to counter-kill Yone is only around level 3-4, depending on whether Yone makes a mistake and gets caught out.
In fact, Yone is not a meta top laner; in the top lane pool, he is considered a counter-strategy card.

Just like Prince Counter Kennen.

Aside from a few specific heroes, they'd have a tough time against the rest.

but.
People can afford it!
"69, do you want me to go up and help you?"

Kanavi naturally noticed that the top laner's TP was forced out. As one of the top junglers in the LPL, his main ganking target in this game was the mid lane, but he was not incapable of going up if needed in the top lane.

The rhythm is just explosive.

369 shook his head, declining his teammate's offer of help.

V5's lineup is quite obvious: Yone counters Aatrox in the top lane, LeBlanc counters Ahri in the mid lane, and Karsa's signature Lee Sin in the jungle is constantly catching his own teammates' Vi. The only weakness is the bot lane, where they picked a survivable combination of Sivir and Yuumi this game.

A playstyle that transitions from pure lane dominance to overall team dominance.

at this time.

It makes no sense for the jungler to come and help him; he doesn't think Kanavi's gank on Luo Ji will kill him.

in contrast,

If they can force LeBlanc to use Flash, or even just suppress her health, their early game will be much easier.

However, off the field, many top laners were deep in thought.

Given their familiarity with Luo Ji's fighting style and their knowledge of the Sword Demon, there were several swords that shouldn't have been eaten, but he still ate them.

Setting aside the possibility of mental instability or making a basic mistake.

The most likely possibility is...
"He's pushing lanes while at a health disadvantage to gain a level advantage?"

"Not only that, he also interfered every time 69 tried to last-hit, disrupting 69's last-hitting rhythm. This guy is too sneaky."

Professional arena.

Just like any other workplace, it has all sorts of group chats.

The top laners in the LPL naturally have their own group chats, and even 369 and Luo Ji are in this group. Watching 369 being tossed around by Luo Ji like a spinning top, they always felt that the scene was a little strange.

"Damn it, doesn't this guy need time to practice playing heroes?"

369 was sweating profusely.

Watching Yone, who had gathered his wind on the screen, once again knock up his opponent with his Q skill, followed by W, and then when Yone retaliated, he only saved E to dodge the chains or the third part of Q.

As for Yone...

With just a slight movement, he easily pulled away from Aatrox's W.

this.
How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!
Fortunately.

While he struggled to hold on, his teammates in the jungle finally made their move.

Rookie's aggressive desire was too strong. His ignited passion, along with his signature LeBlanc, made him play extremely proactively in the laning phase this game.

It can be done proactively.

This also means that it will give the other side an opportunity.

Just as LeBlanc was about to use her W to trade blows with Ahri, Kanavi from the jungle decisively rushed out and used his charged Q to force out the opponent's Flash.

"Shu~"

With the Flash being used, JDG's mid-lane pressure instantly decreased by 30%.

"mine."

"It's not a big problem, they're not the only ones with junglers."

It was as if it were responding to his whisper.

Just as Rookie's voice faded, Karsa's voice rang out from the top lane. When the camera panned up, it was clear that Karsa's Lee Sin had already circled behind JDG's turret.

The strategy remains the same: gank by warding up the dragon pit.

For 369.

The current situation is very bad. Because of the performance at the beginning, I was born with a quarter less health than the opponent, and I was forced to use my TP first. Now the opponent seems to be trying to tower dive me, and I don't have any TP left.

If this player gets killed, the top laner can practically be wiped out.

no way.

After finally gaining an advantage in the mid lane through jungling, Yagao had no choice but to use his Teleport against the top lane turret, scaring Karsa away.

Both sides' junglers ganked.

While using Flashbang and Teleport, in the end, Rookie's side actually lost less.

【Kasa, it’s still him! 】

[As long as either the midfielder or the jungler makes a sound, the V5 engine can't be shut down.]

[That fox is amazing! She teleported in and reached level six two waves later than LeBlanc.]

There's no other way; we can't just keep watching Aatrox play top lane.

Outside the arena.

Redmi also looked helpless. 369 is good, but he really can't catch up with Luo Ji on the other side in terms of champion pool. He even brought out Yone. In fact, from the laning phase, Luo Ji is currently playing extremely smoothly and skillfully.

If Rookie could also play this champion, he could even be used as a flex pick in the mid and top lanes.

of course.

This wasn't what troubled him; what troubled him was that 369's personality flaws were starting to surface.

He knew he needed to stay calm to help the team win, but he couldn't help but have a slight urge to show off.

If he doesn't fight too aggressively in the early laning phase and saves a TP, then even if he gets caught and killed in this wave, it won't mean much to him.

In contrast.

The top laner on the other side was clearly even more outrageous.

"Next, we're going to free up the bottom lane. My Dream, top lane, play it safe."

"OJBK!"

Upon hearing Rookie's voice, Luo Ji immediately manipulated Yone to begin retreating.

On the field, any key summoner spell can have a chain reaction. Because of the teleport to the top lane, Ahri reached level six later than LeBlanc, which means that Rookie had the priority to roam after reaching level six.

Huh~
Now that everyone's freed up in the mid lane, they're naturally going to the side lanes to cause trouble for the opposing team.

Stop looking, it's you! I'm coming for bot lane!
Again.

Aphelios's team usually transitions from red/white blade to green/white blade around the eight-minute mark in the Rift. At this point, they might even forgo the Herald. V5 needs the Herald, but they don't want Aphelios to have too much fun farming in a solo lane, so they gank!

Under the threat of MISS signals.

Hope dared not continue pushing down the lane and immediately retreated.

The difference in numbers is as follows.

In 2v2, they are not afraid of the opponent, but in 3v2, do you really think that the cat will still be hanging on that useless Sivir?
Once the cat possesses the enchantress's body.

What's left for JDG's bot lane is: "We now have an iron torrent, we hope you have an iron will too.jpg"

Rookie's roaming put a lot of pressure on JDG's bot lane.

They can be done at the same time.

Kanavi, however, sneaked towards the top lane and started marking Yone there. As the saying goes, the bigger the wave, the bigger the fish, even though he knew the enemy top laner was incredibly stable.

In other words, if they can seize this opportunity in the top lane, they can break V5's next wave of momentum.

So he decided to come up and give it a try.

369 saw this.

Instead of reacting immediately, he pretended to be nonchalant and finished off Luo Ji, luring him up to whittle down his health. He even initiated another Q skill, only to miss right in front of the opponent.

trap?

Mistake?

Luo Ji watched the Sword Demon's performance and fell into deep thought.

No matter when, a single lane is essentially a gamble and a game of strategy. If the opponent kills him in this wave, their Herald rhythm will be disrupted. Conversely, if Luo Ji kills 369 or pushes him back, the bottom lane duo won't need to come to support and they can still take the Herald.

Want to bet?
Luo Ji asked himself this question, but his hands had already begun to retaliate unconsciously.

A basic attack, Q skill, W to slash, then another Q skill with the passive ready to charge in. This time, the Q skill with the passive was perfectly dodged by Aatrox's E.

369 then took advantage of the situation and started playing his big game.

While accelerating, he also countered with a W, seemingly trying to stop him from continuing the pursuit.

This is such a great opportunity!
After instinctively using his E skill, he unleashed a barrage of basic attacks, including slashes and cleaves. It was only in that instant that Luo Ji realized something was wrong.

It went so well!

Aside from using E skill to dodge his own whirlwind, everything went too smoothly. But now that the sword is drawn, it feels like it would hurt his body if he didn't do something.

then
Luo Ji chased the Sword Demon all the way to the ground turret, and then, just as his E skill was about to expire, he used his Q skill to dash in again after it was off cooldown.

No matter what.

Due to the distance, 369's Sword Demon managed to dodge the knock-up with a clever maneuver.

Control failed.

"I've been fooled by my dream!"

"This time, 369 is directly using his own body to seduce Kanavi, who's almost here!"

"Vi immediately locked onto the enemy with her ultimate, making this a 2v1 situation."

"My dream chose to walk backwards into the grass, can it run away?"

run!?

Luo Ji glanced at his status bar and skills.

The Sword Demon currently has only a quarter of his health left, seemingly surrounded and in a hopeless situation, but in reality, there is still one last way to break out of the encirclement.

Basic attack, Q-soldier, retreat.

As Vi's lock-on approached, Luo Ji was inevitably knocked up by the crowd control. However, Yone's E pull was too far away, so far that by the time Vi's ultimate crowd control was finished, 369's Aatrox had barely returned to Luo Ji's side.

After landing, he unleashed another Q skill at close range.

While accumulating two passive stacks, the ultimate skill [Sealed Dust Slash] is released backward.

Want to run!?
Kanavi's eyes lit up, and he manipulated Vi in his hand to directly block the Sealed Dust Slash.

Unleash the ultimate move and control its generation.

Having just knocked Luo Ji away with his ultimate move, he was knocked away by Luo Ji's ultimate move again in the next second. 369 rushed back to the battlefield and was about to make a move when he looked up and saw that it was not Yone who was harmless after using his ultimate move.

But
He has now accumulated a full stack of Wind-Breaking Jade Cutters from the Q skill's passive.

"Boohoo!"

He had already sensed something was wrong, but Yong En's frantic escape had concealed his true intentions very well. By the time 369 finally realized what was happening, Luo Ji had already unleashed a Jade Slash.

Vi and Aatrox were both sent flying into the air.

Landing.

A basic attack, followed by a fully charged Q skill, and another thrust. As the sharp blade once again reaches for the opponent, this time, no one can stop the fall of the Demon.
