My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 197 Esports Manager Card
That night.

The news that the entire V5 team had appeared at an internet cafe near a university spread throughout most of the League of Legends esports community, and the entire internet cafe was packed with people, even though the outside world had not yet fully recovered from the "natural disaster".

Many students successfully managed to get photos and autographs at the event.

And online.

V5's sudden "gathering" has sparked much discussion, especially after it was revealed that they had a full schedule of scrims with LCK teams that night, which intensified the discussion.

[What's going on? We were playing scrims against LCK teams at an internet cafe, and the base lost power?]

[That's impossible. There were no power outages anywhere in Shanghai yesterday. Even if there were, it wouldn't be necessary to go to an internet cafe this far away to play games, would it?]

[Could this be team building?]

[Does your team building activity involve the club going to an internet cafe to play practice matches?]

For the V5 team...

They were no longer paying attention to outside opinions, and as time went on, the playoffs successfully began.

The S12 Summer Split playoffs will use version 12.15.

In short:

All assassin heroes have been buffed.

When they saw AKL being buffed and able to appear on the field again, the V5 players looked at Luo Ji with horror, because Luo Ji had undoubtedly predicted it correctly once again, even half a season in advance.

"Damn it! I used to suspect you were the designer's son, but now it seems like you're the designer's father."

Even Jingong moved to Bengbu.

Since joining V5, all he's seen is that whatever Luo Ji recommends, that's what the V5 players practice.

Every time he raised a question, a new version would be released, and the hero that Luo Ji had asked him to practice would always happen to be on the list of heroes that had been buffed.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
"Don't ask, it's all about divination. My family has been practicing divination for three generations, and I'm known as Immortal Luo." Luo Ji boasted with an air of pride.

"Come on, can't you say something reasonable?"

"Alright then, actually I'm a time traveler who came back from three years in the future. I know the meta heroes for each version. If you VIP me 50, I'll tell you in advance the meta heroes for the S13 and S14 World Championships."

"This is even worse than the divination mentioned above. What era are we living in? And you're still talking about time travelers?"

Everyone in V5 laughed at his antics.

Don't think professional gamers haven't read esports novels; eleven out of ten of them feature characters who start with a system.

They've been living in the same club as Luo Ji for over half a year now. If there really was a system that could enhance physical reactions, they would have figured it out long ago.

While they were teasing each other.

Everyone began to observe the major battles between the teams in the playoffs.

Since they are first in the standings and have the advantage of being well-rested, they only need to play three rounds of best-of-five (BO5) matches to determine whether they advance, regardless of the outcome. In fact, because they are the Spring Split champions, the team itself has a particularly high number of points.

That is
Their theoretical chance of failing to qualify for the World Cup is the same as the Chinese national football team's theoretical chance of qualifying for the World Cup.
Perhaps Luo Ji's arrival changed the timeline.

This round of the playoffs.

It can be said that each team displayed their unique abilities. Among them, the galactic battleship JDG successfully defended their title, while the invincible dark horse LNG made a successful comeback.

Apart from Luo Ji.

No one could have predicted that LNG, who were fighting FPX for a playoff spot in the regular season and entered the competition at the last minute, would turn their fortunes around and win three consecutive games to reach V5.

In the first round, Kennen, the monkey, experienced a nightmare, turning off the lights and emitting electricity.

In the second round, Yone, Sejuani, and Akali formed a flexible Sejuani composition, controlling the lightning.

In the third round, Ryze and Lissandra, roaming mid laners, carried the entire game.

This is the end.

The playoff upper bracket semifinals will feature JDG vs. STES in the upper bracket and V5 vs. LNG in the lower bracket.
[Good guy, I'm a real good guy. ]

Who would have thought that LNG, who almost missed the playoffs, would make it to the semifinals?

[This match is getting interesting. Mid laners are going to try and outlast each other, right? But Rookie's stamina isn't as good as Wukong's. Wukong streams for seven or eight hours every day.]

[Griffin's revenge on Incheon 3C? Perhaps we should first consider how Ale will withstand the pressure from Mebius.]

This year's LPL is the most incomprehensible year for me. Teams that seemed very strong performed terribly, while teams that seemed unpredictable suddenly exploded into great form.

In a sense.

LPL teams are actually quite afraid of teams like LNG that can come up with some strange and unusual strategies, because everyone is used to formulaic matchups, and once you bring out these three tricks, many teams will immediately be unable to cope.

If it were the V5 from my previous life...
In fact, he also fell in this place, after all, Rich's pool of heroes was shallow, and Xiao Yan's strength in his previous life was only so-so.

but now?
The V5 players remained calm. LNG's most eye-catching "lights-out discharge" system had already been spotted by Luo Ji during the regular season.

On the contrary, it's LNG.

Even with multiple systems at my disposal, I always feel uneasy when facing V5.

Playing tricks?
Luo Ji alone is the ancestor of their entire team.

"Actually, we can already make a decision for them. We can take Piggy, and we can take Nightmare Guy. We can actually break their routines. Also, do we have any more ketchup? We seem to have bought a bit too many fries."

While complaining about LNG, the group was also exchanging enthusiastic "V50"s with each other.

S12 is not S15. There is no need to thoroughly implement the national "Weight Management Year" three-year action plan. Eat and drink as you please. How can you stay up all night to train if you are not well-fed and hydrated?

"That's what we say, but we can't underestimate them."

Nofe spoke calmly as usual.

Ok.

Although he genuinely believed it from the bottom of his heart.

If it weren't for the sacrifices of the first three unfortunate teams, which exposed LNG's full strength, Nofe might have had a slight headache facing such a lineup on the field. But now?
He just wanted to prepare a cyber coffin for the other side.

He consulted it.

A coffin called "Bubble Race" would be very good.

The outer coffin was indeed nice, and the inner coffin was also decent. From a distance, the tomb looked like a large screen, and the sacrificial ceremony was quite avant-garde. The post-mortem services were also very good, and the sense of enclosure around the tomb was overwhelming. The deceased slept peacefully, and the coffin provided excellent protection, ensuring a worry-free afterlife.

"Let's take this seriously. We've already come this far, it wouldn't be good if we crashed halfway through."

"That's true, Chicken Bro's win rate against Monkey King in best-of-five series has never been great," PPGOD suddenly stabbed.

As soon as these words came out.

Rookie suddenly became a little flushed.

He wanted to argue that the low win rate was because he was with IG before. After S9, IG had almost disbanded. Wasn't it normal for IG's lineup in S10 to lose to a team like Monkey King?
Once the data is presented, all excuses become meaningless.

Luo Ji chuckled as he looked around the lively room, while also pondering the precautions for playing Ale.

"50 Yuan" is a very magical top laner. He has a strange kind of spirituality and can always save the team from dire straits.

In their previous S12 LNG team, Ale's performance was crucial in their upset victory and nearly securing a spot in the World Championship.

of course.

If you ask why the team is in such dire straits...

cough~
This is a very serious topic.

In any case, V5's team composition is stronger than LNG's current team composition, so at least securing a spot in the World Championship shouldn't be a problem.

It can only be said that Luo Ji's good deeds in his previous life were not in vain.

He often helps young women cross the street, carries gas cylinders for widows, and provides essential oil back massages, thus boosting economic consumption!

These are all blessings~
November 22st

When the V5 team stepped into the competition venue again, their semi-final match against LNG in the winners' bracket was about to begin. The venue was still without spectators, but there were many more staff members than before.

of course.

They also successfully saw the LNG team, who had won three consecutive victories and charged towards them, before the match.

Normally.

Having won three consecutive best-of-five series, their morale should be extremely high, even though they've exhausted all their options.

No matter what.

When they encountered V5, their faces turned unusually serious.

"How did I end up running into V5?"

Green Hair was also a bit upset. They were divided into two groups, one against JDG and the other against V5. Theoretically, JDG would be a better counter to them, since Redmi's ability to counter any move was still quite famous at this time, and their three-pronged attack had probably been figured out.

but.
JDG at least reacted to each move as it came, while V5 is more likely to be the ones countering the opponent's moves.

Can the experience be the same?

"Just bear with it. If you want to get a ticket to the World Championship, or to achieve good results, you shouldn't be afraid of any teams." Doinb seems to have a good mentality.

He plays mid lane.

He's not too afraid of Rookie in a BO5. Besides, V5 is most likely going to play top lane anyway, so what does top lane have to do with him? Let Ale worry about it.

Ale: ?
This round.

The commentators in charge of the match were Miller, ZZZ (EDG's eldest son), and Wink. It was basically Miller carrying two useless players on his own.

ZZZ is quite a remarkable person.

Since he retired and became a commentator, he has been criticized every time he went on stage, but he still manages to stand steadily on the commentary stage. It can only be said that strong background is indeed better than strong skills. The saying "One Piece, one of the three major shonen manga" is really true.

The background is truly powerful.

It is worth mentioning that.

At this point in time, an alternative mobile game based on League of Legends called "Esports Manager" has suddenly appeared, and the entire official team is heavily promoting this pay-to-win game.

As famous Incheon 3C champion cards, TheShy, Rookie, and JKL's cards have ratings of 96/95/95 respectively.

But when it came to Luo Ji...

He has never won the World Championship, so he doesn't have a World Championship exclusive card, but his MSI exclusive card has been successfully created.

He was expected to score 96 points as well, but his final score was only 95, which not only surprised the audience, but also surprised the V5 team who were watching the live stream from the lounge before going on stage.

"95 points? That doesn't seem right."

"The perfect score should be 96, after all, we need to leave some room for error for the strong cards that come out later, but is 95 a bit too much?"

Xiao Yan and PPGOD are still speaking out for Luo Ji.

Luo Ji, on the other hand, seems to take it all in stride.

"95 is pretty good."

Luo Ji said with a smile:
"Anyway, there will be hero cards with different states later. I've already thought it through. If I encounter my novice self, I'll give him a 92-point card. If I'm lucky enough to win a championship, I'll give him a 98-point card. I really like these three numbers."

Is there anything special about these three numbers?

Rookie, being a non-native Chinese person, didn't immediately grasp the significance of these numbers. On the other hand, Casa, a frequent internet user, wore a knowing smile.

It really is.

If you really collect all three numbers.

I don't really care much about getting a perfect score.
