My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 190 Utter Madness!!!

After discussing the battle plan, Luo Ji and the others did not take immediate action, but continued to enjoy themselves and go fishing as usual.

It wasn't until the group returned to the club that they began the final leg of their regular season journey.

OMG, UP, and BLG were all defeated.

V5's winning streak in the finals has put them in the spotlight, with everyone wondering if they can replicate their perfect record in the Summer Split.

in history.

Only one team has ever achieved this feat: EDG, the domestic champions of S6.

And now.

The LPL is about to produce its second record holder.

Those blocking their way.

Only TES is left!

Is the final battle of the Northern Expedition directly the final boss?

You might not believe it, but V5 achieved this success entirely thanks to Miller's B+ rating at the beginning of the year. Miller's B+ rating for the team speaks volumes about its prestige.

[I hope it will succeed, but I'm not too optimistic. After all, they once achieved an 18-game winning streak but ultimately finished fourth, and they also had that peak 9-game winning streak in S9, fearlessly making it to the top four.]

The last team that gave me this feeling was the original Heroes; this is outrageous, like finding a galactic battleship while scavenging for scraps.

To be honest, it's normal for V5 Lucky Star to have a 16-game losing streak and be able to collect all the loot.

From last place to first place, only DWG's run to the world championship in the internet cafe tournament has ever achieved such a dramatic turnaround.

The opportunity to make history is right in front of us.

Let alone the players.

Even the club's management and coaches were extremely nervous.

In order to increase their chances of winning the summer season, they even went so far as to generously reward Luo Ji with bonuses. The club owner even called Luo Ji overnight to communicate with him, hoping that they could break this record that had been set before but might not be repeated.

"Seriously, this is putting too much pressure on us."

Luo Ji scratched his head.

He accepted all the rewards with a clear conscience, because regardless of whether he received the rewards or not, he would still do his best to pursue victory.
That's why there's so much pressure; I wonder if the other members of the team will be affected.

"Actually, it's alright. Our records were similar during the Spring Split. It's just that now it feels like we're following the same path as RNG in S8." Rookie thought for a moment and replied.

"Doesn't that guy have some insights?" Upon hearing this, Luo Ji turned his AOE target back to Casa.

"If you want me to choose a nightmare to take the bullet for you, then I'm actually not in a bad position." After thinking for a moment, Kasa decisively picked up on this joke.

As a veteran of the competition.

What kind of matches haven't they seen? The one mentioned above, with an 18-game winning streak and an overall fourth-place finish, refers to Rookie. Karsa was also present when they lost to G2 in the quarterfinals of S8. What kind of situations haven't these two experienced? A mere winning streak in the Summer Split is nothing to brag about.

Xiao Yan and PPGOD were indeed affected.

The two of them have been tacitly increasing their training time lately, giving the impression that they are both self-torturing and willingly treating each other like slaves.

V5 is in dire straits.

Actually.

TES didn't really make much of a splash either.

White Crescent and Guo Hao were practically pointing their fingers at Riot Games and cursing them.

Originally, the standings and other things were already set at the end of the season, and the playoffs were just around the corner. This was the time for everyone to hide their strategies and wait to ambush others in the playoffs.

That's how it ended.

The sudden revelation of V5's 100% win rate in the regular season put TES in a very difficult position.

Going all out might reveal a flaw; but deliberately giving it away would be risky, as everyone's watching.

Among all the contestants.

Dahuang looked even more troubled.

LPL produced so many top-tier top laners in S12, but he disliked Luo Ji the most.

Losing to someone can comfort yourself by saying you're not as skilled as them, that your raw strength is just not as good. But if you lose to them, you can easily get annoyed by their counters or even numerical anomalies in the game.

The most difficult thing is
Even TheShy and Flandre, who personally trained this monster, fell one after another at his hands.

At this time, in the eyes of all the top laners, Luo Ji was undoubtedly going to clash with Xiang Yu, shoot with Lü Bu, fight for the throne with Li Shimin, and fight Li Cunxiao in the octagon.

Is this even a human being able to beat?

"coach?"

"Let's play one game to test the waters, we're already in a bind anyway."

Tell the truth.

White Crescent was capable of giving away two games to the opponent as a favor, but he also thought that it was not unreasonable to use a small game to test the opponent's understanding of the version of the game, since it was rare to have a BO3 match with V5 as a practice partner before the playoffs.

With this thought.

a few days later.

The match between V5 and TES has arrived as scheduled.

The S12 LPL Summer Playoffs used version 12.15, while the current version is still 12.14. Although there is only a small version difference, the understanding of the game among the teams has begun to differ.

【I'm coming. 】

【Topsports era, boiling anticipation! 】

Historically, Wei Yan was bound to rebel towards the end of the Northern Expedition, therefore...

Trust Top Esports. Trust doesn't need a reason; Top Esports will always pull out all the stops when you least expect it.

Before the match even started, the live chat was already filled with people making provocative and entertaining comments.

It's still an offline competition where the audience doesn't need to go to the venue but the players do. But this time, both sides are giving it their all so that they can go to America (the venue for the World Championship) for the World Championship.

The commentators for this round of matches are Wawa and Daxiao.

Obviously.

Riot Games went all out to maintain V5's undefeated record, sending out these two top players.

"It seems like the other side's fighting spirit is a bit weak."

After meeting in person.

By looking at the information on the faces of the TES players, Luo Ji and others also noticed something slightly off.

"How could they not be weak? They went all out and exposed their strength. They wanted to hold back but were held back, so they could only fight with their hands tied. I guess they can only fight us for one round."

Nofe chuckled softly.

Compared to TES's hesitation, his tactics are much easier to arrange.

You can leave the other positions unchanged, just change the hero selection for the top lane. Luo Ji's hero pool is so diverse, just pick a couple of things and the opponent will be in trouble.

As for victory or defeat?

There's a third round, isn't there? Only consider going all-in if it's truly a 1-1 tie. Who throws out a royal flush at the start of a game?

As time goes by.

The best-of-three (BO3) match between the two sides then began.

With the 12.14 update, the elemental dragons' health has been increased and their durability has been improved. More and more teams are now interpreting the meta as a combination of a jungle utility carry and an AD carry, since these two positions have always been complementary.

In this jungle carry meta, there are more AD carry utility champions.

In AD versions, the jungle is basically filled with various utility tanks.

We have now undoubtedly reached the second scenario.

So naturally, in the AD carry meta, the pick rate of enchanter supports has started to overwhelm that of hard supports, and enchanter supports are usually paired with AD carries.

For example, Kalista, Luna, and Lulu the Mouth.

This leads to.

Most teams must draft a bot lane duo in their first three picks.

This node.

This is where TES's advantage comes in; they can build Draven.

Because Draven is relatively less reliant on a specific support, teams that can pick Draven naturally have an advantage in the draft phase, as they can pick two of the top, mid, and jungle champions in a single round of picking.

V5 understands this very well.

However, in order to test whether they could withstand this style of play, V5 chose not to ban Draven. Unfortunately, Nofe's intentions were too obvious. How could White Crescent let you find out the team's secrets so easily?

They won't take your bait at all.

V5: Top lane Darius, Jungle Wukong, Mid lane Ryze, Bot lane Luna

TES: Top lane Gnar, Jungle Vi, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane Kog'Maw and Lulu

The moment BP came out.

Everyone was amazed by V5's boldness.

Not brothers.

You have such a good attitude?

Upon seeing this option, the V5 management team almost couldn't catch their breath, while the coaches from various teams had their eyes inexplicably shining.

"How smart."

off screen.

Redmi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

If we put ourselves in V5's shoes, everyone here hopes that V5 can win all their matches. So the most pressure won't be on V5's top, mid, and jungle, but on V5's bot lane. Too much pressure will have a counterproductive effect on the field.

But this time, Darius was chosen.

All the public attention was drawn to one person on the road.

The pressure on the bottom lane duo dropped sharply, and the hero selection also revealed Luo Ji's big heart. He even used a hero that is almost never seen on the field to tell TES how good his form is, so good that he dares to play an unconventional hero against a favorite.

If we're talking about before the match...

If everyone says that V5's divination is "inauspicious".

So when Darius was picked, the result was immediately "Good luck! Great luck! Double good luck! King Good Luck!"

The victory brought joy to everyone and led to a beautiful story.

Losing activates the rampage mode for the rest of V5, giving them a reason to win the subsequent matches.

Hey!
This is really messing with TES!
Live stream page.

The moment V5, the blue side, picked Darius as their fifth pick, the commentator, Da Xiao, couldn't help but shout out loud:

"Want to come?"

"Are you really coming!?"

"They're coming! They're about to leave! I will not tolerate such cowardice!"

"No regrets! Facing Gnar, we took down Darius, the Hand of Noxus!!!"

Barrage.

At this moment, it completely descended into riots!

I am a giant wave sweeping across the world.

[Pull the tyrant off his throne and grind his bones to dust!]

I silenced the king, annihilated the gods, and let chaos devour the earth.

Bearing the glory of Noxus on their shoulders, the Ragnarok battle will not end until the very end!

Darius!

In the many years of competition in the Chinese server of League of Legends.

Darius has never left the top lane in solo queue games. In fact, Darius has become a threshold for distinguishing whether a top laner has stat-heavy champions or not.

Your stats aren't even as high as Darius's, how dare you call yourself a stat monster?
Your stats are higher than Darius's? You're a complete stat-obsessed jerk!

Regardless of the version, Darius has never left the side of top lane players, which is why it can better activate the audience's resonance with this hero's appearance on the field.

After the game enters the loading screen.

Luo Ji's summoner spells stunned many viewers. In everyone's impression, it is a matter of course for professional top laners to bring TP, but this game was not like that.

Luo Ji immediately brought Flash and Sprint.

TP?

Sorry, I'm really not familiar with that stuff.

The moment the game entered the loading screen, Luo Ji suddenly thought of Adam, the God King of the original world S13.

With Garen in hand, he carries the glory of Demacia;
With Darius in one hand, he carries the glory of Noxus on his shoulders.

Furthermore, he delivered an exceptionally high-caliber performance in the S-series, where the opposing team banned three of their five heroes: Garen, Darius, and Olaf.

Even Casarte couldn't help but joke during the loading screen:

"If you can win this game and have a few more memorable moments, your popularity will rise even more."

"Those things don't really matter."

Luo Ji shook his neck, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

"I actually quite like the God King series of skins, but I know even more clearly that the title of God King is earned, not just boasted about."

"so?"

"A true man's battle in the top lane, don't come. As for the other side? I'll wait for them to come and feed."
