My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 188 River Sword Demon, but the ID is incorrect.
"Although I hate to admit it, that's what makes him so terrifying as the world's number one."

In the lounge.

Redmi shook its head helplessly.

You might say 369 didn't play well, but actually he performed quite well in the first two games. Even in the third game, despite being the counter pick, he wasn't successfully solo-killed by Luo Ji. He played a steady game to an extreme degree.

unfortunately
Just like how you always encounter some incredibly difficult monsters at the beginning of a game, the current 369 is like an occasional encounter with a monster with high stats. It's as strong as a monster, and even with maxed-out skills, it's impossible to defeat.

0 for 2
Toothpaste, relying on its signature fox-like move, managed to escape successfully once again.

But just as they were about to capitalize on this offensive and push straight to the enemy's heart, Hope, who was defending the tower on JDG's side, suddenly unleashed his ultimate. The explosive AOE from the Blue Blade [Radiant Night] not only hit the Lee Sin in the front row, but also caused the surrounding minions to splash damage.

Combined with the AOE of the Q skill.

They managed to hold off a wave of minions, slowing down V5's tower-pushing strategy.

He knew that this method of fighting was somewhat like a slow death, but he had no choice; it was the only way he could stall for time right now.

"JDG really suffered a huge loss by ganking my dream this time."

"There's no way we can't leave such a big lone Yone alone. But the strength of Yone really depends on how well his skills handle [control cancellation]."

"They clearly underestimated my proficiency with Meng Yongen."

The colonel made the final decision directly.

Throughout the BO3 series, JDG played a cunning strategy in the first game, exploiting the information gap and successfully outmaneuvering V5 with Kalista and Amumu. In contrast, V5 clearly employed an open strategy in the third game, exploiting the information gap.

I'm telling you outright, my bot lane split push is a trap.

But there's no way you can avoid being fooled.

This is confidence!
off screen.

At TES Club, White Crescent watched the match between the two teams on the screen with his heart pounding.

That's too good to be true!
Redmi's tactics are actually easy to understand: blindly pick the version's fault-tolerant lineup, improve team discipline, and cultivate a group of players with varying skill levels into a consistent fighting force through discipline. With 10 points as the base, JDG's performance is always at 6-7 points most of the time.

TES, on the other hand, is the opposite.

They can reach a minimum of 3 points and a maximum of 9 points. Playing against JDG is purely a matter of luck.

V5 is clearly even more impressive. With three star players—Luo Ji, Rookie, and Karsa—the team's synergy and discipline allow them to consistently maintain a level above 7, which is the ultimate reason why JDG's current disadvantage is growing.

Even star players aren't as ruthless as their opponents.

Their bottom-line tactics aren't as stable as the opponent's.

If JDG fails to gain a sufficient advantage during the laning phase, they immediately falter against V5 in team fights where it comes down to their minimum performance.

"This is really tough. Even with things like this, they still keep the vision so dense." After a while of playing, PPGOD also started to complain about the opposing JDG.

"Otherwise, how could he be a top coach? Don't worry, we have the advantage now." Kasa smiled and reassured them for a while, then continued to spread out the formation and start 4-1.

The team led by Redmi in S12 was characterized by strict discipline. Even when they were at a significant disadvantage, they would still make sure to maximize their vision control.

It evokes a sense of helplessness, like a worm with a hundred joints that, though dead, does not stiffen.

With the economic gap widening, V5 secured map resources with incredible stability. JDG conceded the dragon, the Rift Herald, and even shrank their vision defenses, seemingly preparing to employ S14LNG's signature turtle-shell strategy.

Many people know they have no choice.

But when they had the courage to transform their tactics into this style of play, from God's perspective, one can't help but be amazed by their decisiveness.

"Are they waiting for Aphelios to equip himself?"

"No, even Aphelios from the Dragon Soul team can't get the three-piece set. They're waiting for the two-piece set from Aatrox."

Luo Ji immediately saw through JDG's intentions.

Compared to JDG, who had a clear front-line Aatrox, V5 didn't really have a front-line. Everyone was very fragile, so even though V5 had a clear advantage, JDG still didn't give up the chance to turn the tide.

V5 doesn't care either.

No matter what you want to do, they will still do things their way.

Map resources, control.

Jungle invasion, let's go.

Suppress vision, execute!

In just a few minutes, V5's offensive rhythm was like a surging tide, making JDG suffer.

In particular, the combination of Rookie and PPGOD, LeBlanc and Yuumi, shone brightly in the hands of TES during the MSC Intercontinental Series.

Its main strength lies in dealing high damage and being difficult to catch.

Several waves of attacks that suddenly emerged from the shadows gave the JDG team quite a fright.

Until.

The time finally reached a little over twenty minutes.

The Dragon Soul of this match is about to spawn, and seeing the Fire Dragon spawn in the Rift again, the JDG players are cursing inwardly.

When the wind is favorable, you are like mountains and rivers; when the wind is unfavorable, you are like thunder and fire.

This dragon is specifically designed to ward them off, right?

The two teams spread out on either side of the river. As the team with the advantage, V5, who had pushed the middle lane forward, began to collectively move to the river. Based on their economic advantage, each V5 player placed a control ward on all the flanking routes.

The lower half of the field of view was so bright it was as if the 【iseedeadpeople】 command had been opened in the console.

"JDG has to make this move."

Commentary seat.

The colonel frowned, looking at the JDG players' positioning with a headache.

As commentators, they would subconsciously empathize with the losing side and try to help them find solutions. However, in this instance, V5's flank vision was so well-done that they didn't give 369's Aatrox any chance to flank.

no way.

369 could only control the Sword Demon to appear in front.

Kanavi, the jungler, is hiding in the jungle, waiting behind a wall to charge up his Q and lock onto the target.

They are waiting.

Waiting for the right opportunity, Kanavi's first target was Yone, but he couldn't find Yone's location on the map.

"Can we find Yone on the other side?"

"No, we can't see it. Be careful yourselves."

As the disadvantaged party.

Missing didn't dare to place wards in some positions, and with a team fight imminent, he, as a Leona, really didn't dare to stray too far from the carry.

The JDG members nodded silently.

Whether they can turn the tide depends on whether they can seize this opportunity.

soon.

With the elemental dragon soul spawning, Karsa immediately activated the fire dragon, while Rookie and Yuumi harassed from the other side. Based on this positioning, JDG could roughly determine that Luo Ji's Yone was above the dragon pit.

but.
They only made a rough judgment, not a very certain one, because their perspective was limited.

Then we can only wait.

Kanavi frequently maneuvered Vi towards the triangular grass area above the Dragon Pit, near the lower river channel, but dared not get too close.

He's a jungler. If Yone is really in the bottom lane's tri-bush, and the dragon's health is about the same, he can use his ultimate to finish it off.

You don't have to go in.

He couldn't tell whether Yone was actually there or not.

Then we can only pretend it's not there. The elemental dragon's health is dropping very quickly, and everyone's attention is drawn to the battle at the dragon pit.

4000
3000
2500
at last.

Unable to contain his desire, Kanavi began to charge up. After fully charging his Q, a Powerful Punch descended from the sky, followed by his ultimate, which locked onto Karsa's Lee Sin.

The group has started!

369 subconsciously activated [Great Annihilation]

River, Sword Demon, although the ID is a bit wrong, at least he successfully felt that invisible buff. As for whether borrowing this power that he shouldn't have borrowed will turn into "Classic 0/2 Start", "Why Did You Mess With Him", "Zombie King", "i Series Development"?
Let's leave that aside for now.

Let's borrow the power first.

Following the Aatrox's ultimate charge, Missing's support, Natasha, activated her ultimate.

With Vi's strong initiation at the front, Aatrox's ultimate behind, and Lena's ultimate further back, the situation seemed safe no matter how you looked at it. However, Hope still held back his charge, cautiously watching for Yone's arrival. Only after Yone didn't appear did he cautiously follow forward.

From God's perspective.

Luo Ji did indeed control Yone to emerge from the blue team's bottom lane tri-bush.

at the moment.

Almost no one on JDG had vision of him. He didn't flank, because Yone is a champion who doesn't need to flank. He took a few steps forward and reached the top of the dragon pit.

It is the active activation of the E skill, "Breakthrough Edge".

Displacement in a spirit state.

Luo Ji's Yone immediately entered the dragon pit, first using Q on the elemental dragon next to him, and then successfully releasing his ultimate skill diagonally!
This entrance was so sudden.

It wasn't a true head-on attack, but rather a surprise attack launched from inside the dragon pit. The diagonal ultimate not only encompassed the Aatrox who was charging forward with his ultimate, but its endpoint was also directly opposite Hope's Aphelios.

"Shh!"

River channel.

369, who charged forward with the speed boost from his ultimate move, suddenly had a blank, empty look in his eyes the next second.

His body wanted to get closer to the battlefield, but the short, extremely fast blade of light made the sword demon he was controlling completely unable to move.

耳旁
The movement of Yongen sheathing and drawing his sword was clearly heard.

R [Sealed Dust, Severed Thoughts]!
A single diagonal ultimate attack not only forced the fully-powered Sword Demon to retreat, but also knocked Aphelios, who was also pressing forward at the same critical point, into the air.

Both damage dealers were immediately controlled!

not good!

No one could have imagined it.

JDG's most powerful attack was completely crushed by Luo Ji alone. The JDG players on the field were stunned and dumbfounded, their minds blank for a moment.

at the same time.

Xiao Yan's ultimate move, [Hunting], is activated.

Without the pressure from Aatrox, a mere Lena's ultimate could be negated by her E skill's shield, and the damage began to focus on Kanavi's Vi.

The toothpaste fox wanted to enter and cause more trouble.

As a result, as soon as he cast his E skill [Charm], LeBlanc appeared right in front of him, just like a shadow, and Yuumi suddenly cast Weakness on him.

The toothpaste fox immediately wilted.

It can't be stopped!

The Sword Demon was pulled back, the AD was controlled, the mid laner was weakened, and the jungler was ganged up on.

The only one who wasn't bothered was the support, Missing, but what could a support do? He could only use his Q skill to control Yone, who used his ultimate to knock up his own carry.

but.
After landing and escaping from Lena's control, the second Q skill is used, followed by the activation of the second stage of E [Breakthrough Edge].

Luo Ji was originally surrounded by JDG's top, bottom, and support players because of his ultimate move.

The next second it was back above the dragon pit.

at the same time.

Kanavi was focused down and killed in the dragon pit. Without his teammates' immediate support and damage, he couldn't survive long enough to reach the elemental dragon's kill threshold and died prematurely.

Without the threat of the opposing jungler, Karsa was able to secure the elemental dragon.

At the moment when the dragon soul's mournful howl echoed throughout the canyon.

The Fire Dragon Soul buff was successfully applied to the feet of every V5 player.

It's going to happen!

Even the river sword demon, after losing a jungler first, knew that this team fight was probably out of the question, and JDG wanted to retreat to preserve their strength.

But on the other side...

How could V5 possibly let the JDG group, who had already entered the arena, go?

【hunting】!
The 10-second duration of the second-level ultimate was enough for V5's main force to successfully catch up with the fleeing JDG.

But that's not the point. The point is that, under pressure from the V5 army, they once again subconsciously forgot Yone's threat.

The first Q after going down into the empty pit using E.

After unleashing his ultimate ability, he landed a Q after hitting the two opponents above and below.

Luo Ji had already stacked up his Q skill passive to the maximum, and he directly Q-flashed down from the jungle. JDG's backline, who were only focused on defending against the front line, never expected that Yone would launch a counterattack at this moment.

Hope had just unleashed his ultimate skill, "Clear Night Glow".

next second.

And then that damn Yone skill came crashing down on us again.

in view.

Everyone saw Luo Ji's Yong En sweeping in with pinpoint accuracy, as if it were bringing with it a whirlwind that would overturn everything.

A big one.

A Q-flash.

This rendered all of JDG's counterattacks meaningless.

Along with the support hero, Lena, they were all successfully knocked up by Yone's Q skill during his Q-Flash combo.

In an instant.
Everyone inside and outside the venue, whether audience members or commentators, froze.

Can team fights really be fought like this?

Strictly speaking, Yone never chased after a specific person with the same clear purpose as the others.

He consistently disrupted JDG's coordination at the most precise moments, whether it was a forward charge or a retreat to provide cover; his disruptive presence was always abruptly intruding.

With Yone's control over the situation.

PPGOD, who finally arrived at the battlefield following Sivir's ultimate, immediately possessed the big dad.

[Light], then put it on.

[Vigorous Energy], restores health.

[Moonstone is angry], show me your limits!

this moment.

No longer fighting alone, Luo Ji transformed into a war god. With the [Fatal Rhythm] triggered, he even completely abandoned all movement.

A.

Just go for A.

Faced with an overwhelming advantage, Yone is a hero who can easily take down enemies, is incredibly fast at cutting through enemy lines, poses a huge threat to the backline, has a shield as thick as a shit, and with Yuumi's possession and healing, he has an extremely high battlefield appeal, even making the audience gasp in shock.

There are no tricks involved.

It was all sweat and hard work.

Under the counterattack of V5's main force, JDG players fell one after another. Even the Aatrox in the river couldn't last three seconds under the combined fire of a bunch of skills.

When everything has settled down.

Above the canyon.

The ACE notification, indicating a complete wipeout, quietly emerged.

0 for 5
Even Luo Ji, who had entered the game twice, was still alive with low health. The JDG players' bench was completely silent.

Immediately after
It is a variation of operations after morale has been lost.

JDG, whose mentality collapsed, faced an even more hopeless V5 army after respawning and ultimately failed to mount an effective counterattack.

Pa~!

A few minutes later.

With the final basic attack landed and the main crystal exploded.

V5 vs. JDG.
