My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 217 If quantum mechanics can't solve it, classical mechanics certainly can.

"it's over!"

"V5 has secured the final victory in the winners' bracket!"

"But TES fans don't need to be sad."

"Next, we will have matches in the loser's bracket, where our final opponent in the summer finals will be determined."

off screen.

Excited comments flooded the screen like a sudden downpour.

If there were spectators at the match, there would be cheers and applause right now. Surprisingly, JKL, who has the most fans in the entire league, didn't have many haters criticizing him after this round of matches.

Anyone with eyes could see that he had given his all, burned his heart out, and JKL's performance in the S12 playoffs was arguably his last highlight of the year.

of course.

At this moment, he slumped blankly in his seat.

Despite giving it his all, he still couldn't win. This feeling was undoubtedly a regret and a disappointment for him, who felt he was in top form. If he were younger, he might have even had tears welling up in his eyes.

He's called "Water Bro" because he's got lots of water in his body.
of course.

He held back very well.

At the TES players' bench, Knight remained silent, Huang was unaffected, Mark wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, and Tian had fallen into a state of depression.

Regret, resentment, pain, and all sorts of emotions erupted the moment the game ended.

This kind of feeling comes quickly and goes quickly.

Logically speaking...

They still have a revival armor. In fact, the stronger V5 becomes after losing to them, the happier they should be, because if V5 wins the final championship, they will almost be promoted from the second seed of the region without any effort.

"Cheer up, or it'll look bad when we shake hands later."

The one speaking was JKL, who was the most popular person in the room.

Listening to his words, the TES team finally began to tidy up their appearance.

at the same time.

On V5's side, Xiao Yan and the others, having finished their match, couldn't contain their emotions and their faces were filled with smiles.

Winners' bracket champion!
Although they won in the Spring Split, this is clearly different now because it means they are only one step away from the number one seed in the World Championship and only two steps away from the road to gold. If they can complete the road, they will have something to brag about in the future.

But soon.

They discovered the problem and began seeking help from the three older brothers, Ueno and Nakano:
"Oh no, what am I going to do if I can't control the smile on my face?"

"You have to control it even if you can't. Either you control it yourself, or the TES players on the other side will help you control it while you're having dinner tonight."

"what?"

"If quantum mechanics can't solve the problem, then I think the other side might use classical mechanics to solve it."

"!!!"

After carefully comparing JKL's increasingly solidified "divine body" with his own physique, Xiao Yan came to a conclusion: in terms of physique, the two were evenly matched, but JKL had a significant advantage. So, he should honestly control his smirk.

Don't ask; asking is a sign of respect.

That night.

The two teams successfully met in a private room.

As I said before, competition is competition, but the players still keep in close contact off-field. Not to mention V5 and TES, who have a connection with the old IG team. Karsa was also TES's jungler last year, so their relationship goes without saying.

"Come on, come on, the chicken soup is here!"

At Luo Ji's urging, a waiter brought out a large pot of chicken soup, while a group of waiters behind him each pushed a food cart filled with various hot pot ingredients.

"Considering the tight schedule, everyone needs to review the game when they get back, so this is the fastest way. Let's have a simple meal and then have a big get-together once everyone's World Championship tickets are confirmed."

The chicken soup base was served as soon as it was placed on the table.

The aroma of the whole dish began to fill the air, constantly stimulating everyone's taste buds.

The rich aroma caused the dozen or so people in the room to gradually become serious. The men's intuition told them that this would be a trial.

It was also an unprecedented war!

As the saying goes.

The aroma travels for miles, and the chopsticks shine brightly at the hot pot restaurant.

Two hours later.
The scene was a complete mess.

Seemingly because they lost to V5 on the field, the TES team gave it their all at the dinner table, and ultimately won the game by relying on their even more terrifying eating power.

On this battlefield.

Substitute Qingtian displayed FMVP-level fighting power.

Even Luo Ji, who was hailed as the best in the world, could only admit defeat in the face of such terrifying combat power.

Outside.

JKL and Xiao Yan listened to the noise in the private room as they walked side by side outside, their stomachs full, chatting away.

Their relationship wasn't actually that bad.

Being relegated to the bench and having JKL come home to save the day, frankly speaking, it was because their skills weren't up to par at the time. Things change, and every kid has been a bit immature back then. Many people haven't even completely deleted the "status posts" they wrote on QQ back then.

If you read this aloud once...

They're guaranteed to be more and more childish and ridiculous than the last, and you'll be digging your toes into a three-bedroom apartment in no time.

"I've never told you this to your face before, but congratulations! Not only have you become a regular starter, but you've also come all the way to where you are now. The road to success is right in front of you."

"Hmph, isn't that normal?"

Xiao Yan raised the corner of his mouth and turned to look at JKL's position. He subconsciously adopted the "Dragon King's Smile" posture, but soon he forced himself to calm down.

The strong one wasn't him, it was his teammates.

After being slapped hard by the butterfly effect brought about by Luo Ji, he has been forcing himself to wake up.

His changes naturally did not escape JKL's notice.

It was precisely because he had witnessed it with his own eyes that he was even more impressed by Xiao Yan's good fortune, and then he patted Xiao Yan's shoulder heavily. "I'm actually quite curious, what are your thoughts now?"

"idea?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking now. Your change is so drastic that it's unbelievable to all of us. Before, you died at a rate that was no less frequent than mine."

"Come on, I'm definitely not as tall as you."

The two of them laughed heartily.

But he quickly regained his composure, looking towards the private room as if trying to see the people inside, and said softly:

"how to say."

"I guess I learned something from them."

"Compared to the past, which has already been messed up, and the future, which is likely to be messed up as well, what is more important is the present, this moment, whether or not it will be messed up."

JKL frowned.

"That sounds good, but do you think someone with your level of education would say something like that?"

"I think it is."

Xiao Yan chuckled.

He shamelessly appropriated the phrases Luo Ji had used to tell him, a pretentious statement he could never have come up with on his own.

But thankfully, he can copy.

On the night of the game.

The V5 hero microphone was completed overnight.

The SpongeBob SquarePants theme song, motorized infantry, and the classic joke "water can't be put in a cup" also made the long-waiting audience burst into laughter.

at the same time.

The difference in skill between Luo Ji and Da Huang was clearly laid bare in this best-of-five series.

It's pretty outrageous.

In all four matches, he dominated his opponent, even securing a solo kill. Huang even admitted on his live stream that he was outmatched.

There's nothing I can do if I don't admit it.

Top laners certainly all have their own pride, but you also have to see if that pride can withstand the harsh realities of life.

That's Luo Ji's way.

One palm strike shatters the ruthless heart, two moves awaken the fearful soul.

No one could withstand that.

However, if we disregard the players' performance and look at their data charts, Luo Ji's data charts appear extremely ridiculous because he doesn't pay any attention to KDA in his daily gameplay.

It's similar to rhubarb.

However, compared to JDG's top laner 369, who was knocked into the loser's bracket by TES, he is still a little lacking.

[This is the kind of person who is a cosmic superhuman; ordinary data charts can no longer highlight his contributions.]

I understand, it's the JoJo series' unique "grandson panel," the ancestral power.

[The LPL didn't get to see TheShy's third spring, but it did get TheShy's successor. Wait, this template doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, does it?]

Judging by the NBA draft system, Dream's current trajectory is probably that of Looper taking his place.

Surprise!

Luo Ji's performance was the biggest surprise for the LPL this year.

hard to imagine.

In a time when minors are limited to only three hours of gaming time per day, the LPL, which was expected to face a talent gap, has surprisingly produced a new generation of top lane leaders like Luo Ji.

Such a scene.

This reminded many viewers of the era when three new generation AD carries emerged during Season 7.

After winning the winners' bracket final.

V5 began frantically seeking out scrimmages with teams from other regions.

We have to find them. The loser's bracket is really exciting. LNG will play JDG, and JDG will most likely win. Then JDG will play TES.

LPL team players are quite strange; they generally start off slowly.

But you'd say it's really slow to warm up.

In most of the best-of-five series at Worlds, they couldn't beat LCK teams.

However, within the league, the teams that had gone through the loser's bracket several times continued to fight and their form improved, while the teams in the winner's bracket, because they couldn't get any practice matches and could only maintain their form by playing ranked games for almost a week, ended up losing in the finals.

Can Nofe and others accept this?
make an appointment!
Anytime is fine!

Are you interested in having an MSI champion lineup thrown at you?

No?

If not, how about adding a Holy Grail specialty?
If that's still not enough, like at T1, we could continue giving away protein powder or something; our main goal is to ensure you don't come for nothing!
LCK responded positively.

Their summer finals are a few days earlier than Luo Ji's summer finals, and both GENG and T1 have a strong need for practice matches.

Of course, two teams were not enough, so Luo Ji and others also set their sights on other regions.

It would have been better if this news hadn't been released.

The news that they wanted to find a practice match team on the eve of the finals immediately caused a huge sensation overseas.

V5 on the eve of the finals = V5 in the finals = V5 going all out = MSI champion strength
rounding.

Winning against V5 in scrims during this period is equivalent to winning the MSI championship, which means that if the draw is not bad, you are guaranteed to reach the quarterfinals of the World Championship.

What the hell!

This isn't a practice match, this is a training room!!!
Almost every team that qualified for the World Championship registered with V5, with a certain Vietnamese team being the most enthusiastic.

Luo Ji:
This?
