My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 212 They've waited for this moment, theirs has arrived.
The crucial fourth game.

In this game, both sides played much more conservatively in their draft picks.

of course.

Steadiness is relative.

Having secured the blue side, TES, after realizing they could only rely on their bot lane to carry, chose to believe the players' stubbornness and continue building their lineup around the bot lane.

Then the BP is quite simple.

Based on the "boiling water tactic" strategy, the draft restricts the mid laner and excludes the Lulu-Zeli combo.

TES fell for it as expected.

Keep taking.

Furthermore, when focusing on the first three picks for the bot lane duo, players should also pick the jungler.

Especially Bobby.

This thing can better protect AD.

And V5 here.

I've been playing the lock-on system (Vi) + Sivir and Azir for a whole year.

Second round of bans:

Continuing to target Knight in the mid lane, banning champions like Ahri and Akali, practically forcing the opponent to pick Taliyah. Knight's Taliyah proficiency in S12 was actually quite good, but the champion Taliyah doesn't quite suit him.

The white crescent moon is giving me a headache.

In the next round of bans, since Sivir is a versatile champion, if the enemy builds Nautilus, they can form a double lock-up, and if they build Sona, they can't push the bot lane, so these two champions will definitely be banned.

You can turn these two off.

How should the fourth and fifth moves be played on the top lane?
Building tank items just feeds the enemy's carry, and if you build carry items, the enemy can easily counter you with their fifth pick. Originally, there was Gnar, a versatile champion, but then I thought about how the enemy team seems to specialize in countering Gnar with Irelia.

have to.

Nar cannot be played yet.

In the case of V5 picking Hard Support Wood as their fourth pick.

TES's last two picks could only be Taliyah and Sejuani, so V5 didn't hold back and picked Gwen as their last pick.

So far:

TES: Top lane Sejuani, Jungle Poppy, Mid lane Taliyah, Bot lane Zarya + Lulu
V5: Top lane Gwent, Jungle Vi, Mid lane Azir, Bot lane Sivir + Amumu

This lineup.

V5's lineup is basically weak in the early game. However, although they are not strong in the early game, as long as they can hold out until the late mid-game, TES will have no chance to fight in team fights.

With Azir and Sivir, V5 is also top-tier in lane defense.

"They're really not giving us any chance at all?" Ning, the commentator, exclaimed.

With this lineup.

Even if TES does win the fourth game thanks to JKL's second awakening.

What about the fifth game?
Is JKL still usable after this game?

"You know what, many teams can even copy this style of play. Before the match, everyone thought that V5 might be outplayed by the old man, but unexpectedly, the old man did outplay, but it wasn't V5 that outplayed, but TES."

The game begins.

Luo Ji had already positioned Gwen in the basic formation.

I won't go into details about talent points and item builds, it's basically the same routine. There was almost no pressure in the top lane this game, as Sejuani's E skill can be blocked by Gwen's W skill.

In other words, Sejuani can never freeze him in a pure lane matchup.

Unless you get face-to-face with him.

But you, Piglet, are cheek-to-cheek with Gwen?
Then I can only conclude that Da Huang has been masturbating too much in the Gwen Bar and is even hallucinating from it.

"Let's take it slow this time. Don't forget, Brother Ka shared his experience playing against TES with us. As long as we try our best and don't make any mistakes, the other side will feed."

"Pfft." X4
The atmosphere, which had been serious, instantly became cheerful again after Luo Ji said that.

"What if there really is a chance?"

"If he really is, then let's go for it! Jack is practically useless right now. Wait, no! This guy seems to have a good chance. You have Q, he takes Q!"

PPGOD: !!
A word to awaken the dreamer.

The first few rounds.

PPGOD always plays enchanter supports in the bot lane, trying to out-tank the enemy support. He almost forgot about JKL's Q-connect passive. Now that he suddenly remembered it, the corners of his mouth inexplicably turned up.

This is an instinctive reaction when hunting.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards as he saw his prey enter the net.

After giving the bottom lane keyword, Luo Ji then turned his attention back to Da Huang in the top lane.

In fact.

Da Huang is indeed a talented athlete.

No matter what.

These days, it seems like all the talented players have some kind of serious ailment.

The current situation is exactly the same path that JDG's top laner 369 once took: using the same few heroes over and over again, without being willing to work hard to expand his hero pool.

Instead of learning good things, learn from Genshin Impact's meditation training.

But that’s fine.

After three matches, he also noticed the distinctive features of the opposing team, which were characteristic of younger players:
Not convinced.

In the previous few matches, the solo kills were almost all opportunities successfully created by the opponent's unwillingness to accept defeat. Originally, Luo Ji planned to repeat the same approach in this match.

But I don’t know why.

Despite playing somewhat aggressively in the first three games, he unexpectedly played extremely steadily in this one, refusing to give up any opportunities in the early game and even voluntarily giving up the minion wave.

Luo Ji:?
who are you?
My instincts, my eyes, everything tells me that you are Big Yellow.
but!

My soul tells me you are not him!

Haji Yellow.

Have you also been possessed by the brain-flower?
"This is a bit tricky," Luo Ji said instinctively.

"How to say?"

Upon hearing the sound, Casa glanced at the road ahead.

No problem.

This forced them into position and secured lane control from the start, so what's so difficult about it?
"He had no intention of killing or competing; he just wanted to be a hoodlum. This made me quite melancholy, as this was supposed to be my job."

"."

Casa was speechless at his reply.

This time, he cleared the map from top to bottom. After all, the bottom lane picked a hard support, and they needed to find opportunities during the laning phase. As the jungler, he naturally had to go down to protect them.

I was initially worried about getting caught in the top lane, but now I hear the enemy top laner just letting me gank.

have to.

Once you're on the road, you don't need to worry about it anymore.

As long as you can steadily push the lane forward once in the early stages, Luo Ji will naturally buy himself some wards when he gets home.

Although this process is so mature it's almost heartbreaking, its maturity and stability make the team members feel exceptionally reassured.

TES side.

Tian did the same, farming from top to bottom. After realizing that the top laner was hopeless, Tian focused all his energy on the bottom half of the map.

Both junglers bet heavily on the bottom side of the map.

And the bottom lane.

PPGOD and Xiao Yan seemed completely unaffected, continuing to play a steady, methodical game.

They also knew that both junglers would come early in the game.

However, because of their steady play, the junglers on both sides only made a token attempt before failing again due to a lack of opportunity.

"The jungler left."

"Sure?"

"If you don't go back and upgrade your equipment and just keep camping, your rhythm will be ruined. Do you think Poppy has a good rhythm in the jungle in the early game?"

"It's because I don't play jungle much."

in voice.

While arguing, Xiao Yan and PPGOD cracked jokes at each other, but only they knew that despite their relaxed appearance, they were actually highly focused.

This is clearly perceptible from their perspective.

Mark on the other side is getting anxious.

Yes.

Under the influence of the "boiling water tactic," JKL's frequency of clicking the ground decreased almost visibly. His movement was so clumsy that even if you said he was a Platinum player in ranked matches, no one would doubt it, let alone a professional player.

With the AD carry showing signs of weakness, the support player Mark naturally stepped up.

Lulu is helping the AD carry poke and harass.

An increased efficiency in taking action often means more opportunities for oneself.

They are waiting.

Waiting for the most suitable time.

"You seem to be trembling. Are you scared?" As if sensing something, PPGOD's face now held a smile.

"Yes, I'm scared."

Unexpectedly.

Xiao Yan did not deny it, but readily admitted it.

“I’m afraid this is a trap. I’m afraid his jungler is still lurking. I’m afraid if I rush in and get countered, the team will fall into a disadvantage from the start.”

"Should we still fight?"

"Of course!"

The moment the words fell.

It was also at the very moment that the opposing support Mark once again closed in and finished his pressure and damage.

Q【Bandage Traction】

Instead of targeting JKL who had a passive Q, they precisely guided Mark's Lulu through numerous obstacles.

The instant it hits.

There was no genuine joy.

some.

Only a natural ease.

The usually tedious training seemed to finally be effective; he had practiced this Q skill for countless days and nights in the training room.

The angle, feel, and position are almost perfect.

at the same time.

Xiao Yan, who was standing nearby, almost instinctively moved closer and started to follow.

Mark was completely stunned when he was hit. As a squishy support without any mobility, his first reaction was almost always to use Polymorph on the nearby Sivir.

but.
Lulu's Polymorph has a starting animation.

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed.

He captured that moment.

The instant Lulu used Polymorph, a thin, gauze-like shield appeared perfectly on Sivir, completely negating the control effect.

This reaction!?
Having witnessed his own AD carry react similarly three times in a row, Mark naturally knew what this scene meant.

This is not a simple personnel reshuffle.

They're serious!

They're eyeing their own heads!

aside.

JKL, barely able to react and begin to retaliate, had a look of fear on his face.

They dominated the opponent's bottom lane for three games.

Three whole games!

This season's JKL+Mark is arguably the strongest bot lane in the LPL right now. They've gotten used to this kind of talk and attitude, and consider themselves the best bot lane duo. But with this mindset, they suffered a major setback during the laning phase of the fourth game.

Seize the opportunity to shuttle through bandages.

Seize the moment to activate the shield and instantly dispel the attack.

Like a wild beast waiting for its chance to strike, after three rounds of silence, it finally launched its attack without hesitation in the fourth round, at the moment when its prey was most relaxed.

"Shh!"

flash.

Mark couldn't withstand the combined damage from Sivir and Amumu.

However, the current version of Amumu has already been reworked. His Q skill has two charges. After taking two steps forward, it is another Flash + Q.

Secondary restraint!

Only at this moment did Xiao Yan adjust the angle and throw out his Q skill.

While hitting Zeli, it also hit Lulu far away, dealing damage twice in a row, combined with Amumu's E skill being off cooldown again.

Sivir lands another auto-attack.

off screen.

Countless viewers were stunned.

After being pressured for three consecutive games, V5's bot lane suddenly exploded in the fourth game, turning the tide and killing TES's bot lane during the laning phase.

This is how they saw it.

The shock level was no less than Xing Daorong capturing Zhuge Liang alive, or Lin Daiyu beating up Wei Zhentian.

The situation on the field is always so dreamlike.

But either the day of blooming or the day of death will always come first.

A clear announcement came from above the canyon.

V5_Photic killed TES_Mark
First blood.

It's in my hands!
