My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 213 The Arena of Academic Supremacy

Ohhhhh~

Fortune changes every thirty years; never underestimate a young person's potential!

Wow, Xiao Yan even managed to get a kill in lane? But the support's initiation was great; PPGOD's teamfight initiation skills are top-notch.

[#Check Mark's competitive status#]

The moment the first blood was born.

The entire live stream was filled with a huge frenzy.

Although everyone is using the "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" meme, the audience isn't stupid. The reason why Xiao Yan was a substitute or even demoted to the second team in TES was because he played terribly back then.

TES needed to urgently strengthen their bot lane, which is why they brought back JKL.

This is his dark history.

Xiao Yan himself does not deny that, under the fluttering of the butterfly's wings, he has matured a lot in this life.

Train actively, define your role clearly, and avoid competing or grabbing.

Both he and PPGOD knew very well that they no longer wanted to be the eternally burning sun, but rather to strive for the fleeting brilliance of a firefly's light.

They succeeded.

Sivir, having secured First Blood, is now able to hold her lane more easily with the added items, giving the support more confidence to roam.

of course.

Not now.

Because of this solo kill, V5's bot lane had the confidence to push first, and Karsa also timed it perfectly, controlling the first Rift Dragon after the bot lane duo came out.

First neutral resource group secured!

"Unbelievable, they actually found a weakness in the laning phase."

V5 Lounge.

GimGoon watched the kill replay on the screen with a face full of emotion.

With his insight, he could certainly see that Xiao Yan and PPGOD's limited talent ceiling was hindering their growth.

They are geniuses.

However, in the professional arena, they cannot be considered geniuses. Otherwise, Xiao Yan would not have been relegated to the substitute position, and PPGOD would not have been bought into V5 with such a low salary.
"Isn't this what a normal player in a professional league should be like?"

Nofe chuckled softly.

Then, quite naturally, he began to speak:

"In any field, there are always some geniuses who can easily acquire skills that would otherwise require countless setbacks and failures to accumulate. For them, training is more about enhancing muscle memory and consolidating their state."

"But most people are not like that."

"Their blooming period is short, but not everyone happens to have experienced pain and setbacks before their talent arrives, and knows to seize that opportunity that may only come once in a lifetime."

"Even if you can, there's no set pattern to how talent comes about. It might happen today, or tomorrow, the day after, next year, or even after you turn thirty."

There are too many short-lived geniuses in the LPL.

can only say.

Everyone in V5 is very lucky.

They all met the brilliant Luo Ji at the most crucial time, and Luo Ji was also very lucky. Almost all of his teammates had experienced the lowest points in life, so they didn't need many words; they cherished this opportunity themselves.

After securing the first kill, Xiao Yan returned to the lane but did not show any signs of arrogance that might arise from getting the kill. Instead, he became even calmer and clearer-headed.

Their playing style has become increasingly stable.

Emotions remained calm and undisturbed.

This state even frightened JKL+Mark, who was laning against him.

They know their team's problems better than anyone else. If their bot lane can't gain an advantage, the outcome of the game can basically be decided in advance.

But the opposing bot lane isn't like that.

They just need to farm steadily, farm lanes steadily, and team fight steadily.

Rhythm.

They'll have the three big shots, Ueno and Nakano, to open it for them.

A moment.

JKL was overwhelmed with a sense of déjà vu, as if he had stumbled upon an old Instagram account.

No matter what.

This time, the AD carry for that team is no longer the same player he used to be.

"You guys are really amazing."

"No, compared to your talent, I feel that we are just ordinary people."

Listening to Luo Ji's praise.

PPGOD and Xiao Yan almost instinctively contradicted each other.

Luo Ji smiled and said nothing more.

The entire LPL knows that V5's strength lies in their top, mid, and jungle, while their bot lane is their weakness. However, after so many rounds of matches, very few teams have actually managed to completely break through their bot lane.

Can this be called an ordinary person?

If it were an ordinary person, the bottom lane would have been completely destroyed long ago. If that happened, no matter how strong their top, mid, and jungle are, they would be endlessly annoyed by the opponent.

It's that kind of disgusting situation where the front is in dire straits while the rear is in dire straits.

This wave of kills.

In Luo Ji's eyes, it was no different from drawing an extremely low-probability SSR card from the friendship pool in a mobile game, a card that required real money to obtain.

They've made a fortune.

The bottom lane opened up the game.

As the jungler, Tian must figure out how to counteract the opponent's advantage.

soon.

An idea came to him.

Time difference.

Everyone knows that the dragon's health is higher in this version, making it harder to fight. If you control the dragon in the early game, it will slow down the time it takes to help clear the wave in the bottom lane. This gives Zeli Lulu the opportunity to escape the Rift first. And Zeli's build should definitely start with Tier 2 boots.

This also means that Zeli has a quick opportunity to provide support during her map movement.

Having clarified this line of thinking.

Tian tried to gank Luo Ji by pulling Da Huang, who was on the front road.

Two against one is also acceptable.

2v2 is also fine.

Basically, it's about encouraging the other side to fight with you.

As long as a fight breaks out, if Zeli can arrive and take position first, the situation will immediately turn into a numerical advantage for them. This is a calculated move by TES.

soon.

Big Yellow started to move.

Sejuani can easily lure the enemy into a fight; she just needs to stick her big butt up to them. That's how tank heroes lane against carry heroes like Gwen—simple and brutal. It's as easy as a 34D busty woman seducing an 18-year-old innocent boy.

Most people simply couldn't refuse.

Luo Ji clearly took the bait, and started randomly cutting things with his Q.

"I dreamt, be careful, it might be a trap."

V5 isn't stupid either.

Both Rookie and Karsa are seasoned veterans in the competitive scene. Karsa, who is already slower than Tian in the bottom lane, had his vision focused on the top half of the map. When he saw the two top laners fighting, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"I know."

"what?"

"I said I know. Isn't this just an attempt to lure me into a fight so that Zeli can come up and outnumber me? I'm not stupid. Don't treat me like that guy on the other side who only thinks about 1v1."

It was still a reassuring reply.

Luo Ji had noticed something was wrong with the other side a long time ago.

Although your 34D is very good.

But wise men don't fall in love, unless it's a mature woman or a rich woman. And you, Sejuani, are living in Freljord—what a poor place that is!
He had a clear understanding of the logic behind TES's decisions.

On the surface, he seemed to have taken the bait and was randomly sniping at Pig Girl, but if you looked closely, you would find that no matter how Pig Girl tried to entice him by backing away, he resolutely refused to step into the river.

And
He never used his E skill from beginning to end.

Purely freebie.

Don't ask, the answer is that your education played a role.

He didn't pay his tuition for nothing; it wasn't his degree from the University of Macau, but rather the degree from Dunedin University that made the difference.

Minor: Versailles Literature and Practice

obviously.

TES couldn't fool Luo Ji's eyes. The opposing team knew exactly what you were thinking, but deliberately took damage for free to boost their KDA.

Listening to my teammates' voice messages, and seeing the enemy Sejuani striking poses only to have my own health reduced to almost zero, I realized I was in trouble.

Even Xiao Yan couldn't help but grin.

Looking at JKL's Zeli on the minimap, I felt very pleased.

Didn't expect?

Although my overall strength is not as good as yours, I still believe I am stronger than you.

You ask me what makes me so good?

My strength lies in my strong teammates (I'm sure of it)!

"As expected, finding a breakthrough by targeting V5's top laner is almost impossible. By the way, is Looper really coaching him?"

Seafood station.

GNR's retired players all complained.

From God's perspective, Tian's series of attack markers almost completely exposed their intentions.

The problem is that they only saw it from God's perspective. How can you, someone who is playing in the game, have such a keen sense of crisis?

You didn't turn it off either?

"He's incredibly strong in every way. If it were just Rookie and Karsa, V5's ceiling would only be a World Championship ticket. But with him, this team can even pull ahead of other LPL teams by a whole level."

Top lane!

Even though there have been several versions of the game, everyone has been joking that the game and the top lane have nothing to do with each other. But if you believe that, that's your problem.

LCK has been around for so many years.

The mid laner has remained unchanged. Before S13, the AD carry was always evenly matched with LPL teams, either going 40/60 or 60/40 back and forth. Only the top lane was different.

They really didn't win much.

Leaving aside international players like Doran and Sword, LCK top laners have always been incredibly diverse, so there's no need to look at other teams.

Light T1.

Zeus, Rat King, Marun, Duke, Imperman, Khan.

Just looking at the ID makes me sweat.

Although there are some players like Doran, Hu Burou, T-Emperor, and U-Emperor who are just trying to muddle through, this is only a T1 player.

Players all know that the mid and jungle players determine the pace of the game.

AD determines the team's minimum performance level.

Top lane is possible; it determines the ceiling of an AD carry's performance.

In the current version.

During the transition from the early game to the mid-game, the top laner almost always handles a significant portion of the damage.

On the playing field.

Da Huang and Tian also frowned.

The "stratagem" they had painstakingly come up with was "seen out" by the opponent, and they didn't have an impeccable "seen out" that could counter the opponent's strategy.

Then we'll have no choice but to confront them head-on.

"To be honest, did we really have enough damage output in this team fight?"

Rookie is actually a little insecure.

Their lineup is easy to beat if it drags on, but right now, with everyone lacking equipment, Taliyah's base damage is really top-tier.

"So we can't be the ones to initiate the fight. We need to kite them and create opportunities for the enemy AD carry." Luo Ji marked the enemy AD carry.

Even if Taliyah deals high damage, it only lasts for one combo.

Zeli, the AD carry, isn't level 6 yet, but with Lulu's support, she can still deal damage. As long as Amumu engages and kills Zeli first, TES's Taliyah alone can't withstand the damage in a team fight.

"Hanging the god, is everything alright?"

"of course."

PPGOD nodded.

Support players know that when they start playing hook-type heroes (i.e., those whose Q skill is a ranged control skill), the accuracy of their skills actually has little to do with the amount of training they've done, but rather a lot to do with their feel for the game on that day.

When the feeling comes, it's hard, powerful, and exhilarating!

If you don't feel it, it's short, small, and wiry.

at the moment.

He's in great shape.

The desire to launch grew stronger.

"Although my warhorse is also rusty."

"But my charge is Don Quixote-like!!!"
