My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 189 The Last New Generation of LPL

【GG!】

[A classic Chinese opening, an American dash, a Russian pendulum, an British taunt, and a French bowout – JDG executed a five-man combo.]

[369, well, it's not bad, it's just that it's easily compared; once you compare it, the difference becomes too obvious.]

[Hope was completely shut down by Yone in the final wave; how can they fight without a carry?]

All I can say is, a shockwave.

The moment the game is over.

LPL viewers once again demonstrated the winner-takes-all mentality.

In fact, JDG can't be blamed. Theoretically, JDG didn't make any major mistakes today. They suddenly picked Yone to counter Aatrox, which Redmi really couldn't predict.

All he could predict was that they would ban Irelia.

No matter what.

The sheer size of Luo Ji's hero pool ultimately thwarted JDG's plans.

just
When the V5 team returned to the lounge, they were not greeted with Nofe's encouragement, but rather with a barrage of insults.

"You two (Rookie and Luo Ji)."

"The elemental dragon team already had such a big advantage that they didn't really need Yuumi anymore, so why did they keep calling for Yuumi to possess them in the voice chat? Why not leave Yuumi for the AD carry?"

Luo Ji and Rookie exchanged a glance.

They knew what the coach was talking about.

After winning that team fight, the two players, knowing that winning the game was a foregone conclusion, secretly began to test the upper limit of their damage output, which led to their constant struggle over who got the cat.

But can I say that?
They could only exchange glances silently.

Luo Ji: Brother Chicken, I'm talking to you.

Rookie: You did it too!
After defeating JDG, V5 has firmly secured its position at the top of the standings. Even if they lose to TES, they can still beat a bunch of other weak teams. Moreover, they might not even lose to TES. This team has an extremely high skill ceiling and floor.

Luo Ji, who won the game, was naturally sent to the interview area.

no way.

His performance in the third game was outstanding.

With his unconventional counter options, unique teamfight style, and the dazzling double-blade Darius, if he didn't go for the interview, he'd be subjected to relentless staring from the staff. I guess I'll just have to go.

Even during the post-match interviews, a considerable number of viewers remained in the live stream.

It's important to understand that this wasn't a playoff match or even a higher-level game; it was just a regular season match with a best-of-three series. The fact that Luo Ji was being interviewed caused such a huge stir in the live stream was remarkable.

The host's purpose in conducting the interview was also very simple.

That is to use interviews to pave the way for the playoffs, preferably to generate some buzz and hype, and to get the playoffs heated up.

"You ask me why I chose Yone? Because Yone counters Aatrox, so I picked him. After all, Irelia was also banned. Making good use of the counter relationships between heroes is not only a basic skill for professional players, but also for every gamer, right?"

as predicted.

Even though Luo Ji didn't intend to be aggressive, the moment he opened his mouth, the tension was palpable, exciting even the host on the other end of the camera.

"Did you ever think you'd play this well after you picked Yone? I think you probably did. Yone is a champion with a very high skill ceiling. Anyone who picks him would probably fantasize about making some cool plays. The only difference is that I succeeded."

"Which type of hero do I prefer to play? Players who know me well should know that I like to play whatever is strong in the current version, rather than picking whatever is flashy. Even ten years from now, I think my current Mordekaiser and Volibear would give me a little bit of a shock when facing my current self."

Are you worried that your teammates won't be able to keep up?

"No, I've always trusted my teammates, and trust doesn't need a reason."

The entire interview.

Luo Ji had only one idea throughout:

Maintain your persona, don't panic, and don't lose your cool—that's just pretending!
It's easy for anyone to generate buzz and traffic, and with his series of remarks, the live stream's popularity was unsurprisingly reignited.

Wow, what team can pull out so many different heroes with such basic skills?

[As a player of the "Super Smash Bros." mode, there's no problem at all. The only problem is that I can get the items, but I can't win.]

[So realistic, you only play Counter and stat-heavy games, typical of you.]

[That's absolutely right. Who wants precise micro-management when they can easily crush their opponent? If you asked 369 whether he prefers playing Gnar or Gragas, he would definitely choose Gragas.]

past life.

The reason V5 failed to make it to the playoffs was that after their mid and jungle players faltered, their bot lane couldn't step up. To put it bluntly, their ceiling was limited.

But now.

On the road, Rich, who used three tricks, has been replaced by Luo Ji, who is unparalleled in the world.

How much can a world number one player change a team?
Let's say that.

Let's take the matches that everyone can see right now as an example.

Since Zeus's transfer, Hanwha fans, who used to say Viper had done his best almost every time, have become much quieter, their voices reduced by more than half.

This clearly demonstrates the importance of a skilled top laner in sharing the team's damage output.

That's it for now.

When LPL teams face V5, if you disrupt the mid-jungle synergy, you can't control the top lane; if you try to suppress the top lane's development, the mid, jungle, and support can successfully step up.

And
When V5's top, mid, and jungle players can collectively make their mark.

Team battle.

The teams playing against V5 simply couldn't spare the energy to deal with Xiao Yan's AD carry.

Right now, they have a similar feel to the S4OMG era, with Umbrella King unleashing his fury under his big brother's legs.

Compared to Luo Ji's post-match boasting.

On the loser's side.

Redmi appeared much calmer during the interview.

"In fact, we did nothing wrong today."

“We dragged V5 to match point, and my players performed as expected. In fact, we did our best. Last year, this JDG team even struggled to make the playoffs.”

"If I had to say why," I would say, "perhaps we all underestimated the potential of the young players."

S12
The performance of the new generation of top laners in the LPL can be described as diverse and vibrant.

Pheasant, Purple Card, Big Yellow, A-Le, Breath, Bin, 369, and Luo Ji—each of them has their own shining moments.

At this point in time, the LPL has not yet reached the point of being disappointed with its new domestic players.

Not like now.

When they saw the new generation of talent from LCK, what lay before them were Sheer/Galaxy/Tangyuan/1xn/Niket.
At once.

The feeling of receiving it at first glance.

After this match, V5 got another five-day break, and their next match is against OMG, a team with very low experience levels that won't even raise their guard.

That night.

The entire V5 team decided to go out and celebrate.

Kasa had also casually asked 369 if he wanted to join them. Despite the popularity of their meme, they've always had a good relationship. However, 369 rejected him this time, saying he was emotionally overwhelmed and didn't want to see them for the time being.

Listen.

Luo Ji waved his hand innocently.

This has almost nothing to do with him. He didn't even manage to solo kill his opponent once today, so how could he have been defeated by him?

He even felt that 369's mentality was a bit too fragile.

It's just a regular season game, can't we learn from the historical battles at Xiangji Temple and fight it out? Whoever backs down is a traitor!
Seeing that the schedule is not too stressful, V5 plans to arrange their holidays as usual.

To put it simply, professional players typically get two days off per month, depending on the schedule. Even EDG, with its military-style management, gets one day off per month.

For slightly weaker teams, they can guarantee a release once a week.

Most of the players.

Most players choose to rest and sleep in during holidays, while a few choose to play other games online with friends. They rarely go out. As for those adapted e-sports TV series, they are purely the work of writers who write those scripts.

Luo Ji needs no further explanation.

When anglers have free time, the first thing they do is go fishing in the wild. Casa thought about it and realized that the air in the club wasn't very ventilated, but the air was much better at fishing in the wild, so he went along with them.

Although I don't know much about fishing.

However, he has already mastered some basic operations.

For example, when fishing, you should never come back empty-handed. No matter where you go, if you can't catch grass carp, you catch common carp; if you can't catch common carp, you catch crucian carp; if you can't catch crucian carp, you catch mandarin fish!
If you're still in the air force, then secretly fish for white-chained dogs. If you can't get white-chained dogs, then fish for dogs. If you can't get dogs, then steal chickens. If you can't get any of those, then steal people's carrots!
If all else fails, lie down and drink a couple of sips of water.

In short, it wasn't a wasted trip.

Just as Luo Ji and Kasa finished packing and were about to leave, PPGOD seemed to want to say something and joined their group of people going out.

"What's wrong, you rascal? Didn't you say you didn't like going out during your vacation?"

Only after the three of them had completely left the club did Luo Ji and Casa ask him curiously.

You know, this guy usually spends his holidays like a complete couch potato, he'll lie down if he can, and sit if he can't stand, he's even too lazy to pick up his takeout.

Not to mention going fishing from afar.

"Something's happened, XDM."

PPGOD didn't mince words and said directly, "I think Qi Shen might be acting a little strange lately. He used to fall asleep quickly in bed, but now he plays on his phone for an hour or two before going to sleep."

"That's it?"

Casa twitched the corner of his mouth.

It's normal to check your phone before bed so late at night.

"Of course not. I also noticed that he's been testing cups less often lately. He used to not care about his appearance, but now he occasionally takes care of his looks."

Hear this.

Luo Ji began to have some ideas.

In the original world, Xiao Yan's incident of exposing his penis occurred at the end of the year, around the end of October. Although it is only the end of July now, it is not impossible that it was a little earlier.

I thought I had completely changed his mind.

Did not expect ah.

They actually managed to steal my chickens from me, even though I was a bit of a vixen online?
Not right either.

The root cause of his problems in his past life seems to be that he was pandering to Uzi's fans instead of his own, which led to his downfall.

"Don't worry."

Luo Ji calmly began to speak:

"Listen to me, pretend you know nothing for now, keep probing and digging. I'll contact the factory right away to speed up the development of the Holy Grail."

Since we cannot completely eradicate the root of his afflictions, we should try our best to eliminate them.

It really doesn't work.

Even just having the coach take him to get a foot massage would be fine.

The reason why young virgins can be seduced by internet celebrities is because they are too inexperienced. If they joined a Cadillac owners' group, they would evolve into seasoned night owls in no time.

"That's it?"

"That's enough."

Kasa agreed to the idea of ​​not exposing the issue for the time being, and said:

"If he's really determined to be in a relationship, you can't stop him. It might even provoke a rebellious attitude. But this is also an opportunity. If he can see clearly what he needs most right now, perhaps he can make further progress after he has achieved enlightenment."

Once the requirement of three men was met, Luo Ji Kasa PPGOD instantly established a special operations party branch.

Under their joint decision.

finally.

A project called "Absolute Single Dog" was born.
