My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 22 Five people can be a group of scattered sand, or they can be tempered sharp blades.

While V5 is fully preparing for the German Cup final, TES, who have an extra day to make mistakes because they played the semi-finals first, is also studying V5's lineup.

Just like V5 wants to prove themselves by winning the German Cup after sixteen consecutive losses.

TES.

This year I have the same idea.

This year they welcomed the S9 FMVP jungler Tian. Of course, he was not the cheerful Tian he later became. He was still in autistic mode, and his hero pool was ridiculously shallow.

While sending 369 to the Redmi training class, he also bought the king of cost-effectiveness, Zoom, at a low price.

Then they fielded all their main players in the German Cup.

Top laner Zoom was JDG's pillar in the past few years. After leaving the team, he began to go downhill. This period with TES was his last "low light", and he is a concept stock of limit down.

The jungler Autistic Tian, ​​although he has obvious flaws and has not yet awakened, is also a champion jungler.

Mid laner Knight, no matter how he performed in the past, he is still one of the mid laners with better performance in foreign wars in LPL in recent years, and he is invincible in civil wars.

JKL in the bottom lane also has two offensive modes, Yu Wenbo and Yu Wubo. He is the AD player with the highest traffic in LPL except Uzi, and a concept player with 100% participation rate in the e-sports circle.

As for the assistant?

Brother Zhuo generally doesn't like being evaluated by others, so it is omitted.

This kind of lineup.

If the current audience were to judge, it would basically be that V5 didn't know how to win. Or perhaps they did know. All they needed to do was point their hands at the sword gesture, smile calmly, and chant, "Early in life, I knew the hardships of life, yet still allowed couples to wander the arena. On the way home, the cold wind blows like a piece of cotton wool, and I walk alone on the arena. My heart is forged from thousands of blows, and I forge a sword with all my heart and soul. Today, I point my sword at the stage..."

Maybe it will be killed in seconds.

But obviously, this is just a dream.

If they want to beat TES, they have to solve a problem, which is how to beat TES's bottom lane.

in turn.

When they arrived at the TES club, the group started to study how to open up V5's bottom lane faster.

"Wait, we won't care about it when we get on the road?"

JKL suddenly spoke up, interrupting White Crescent's tactical arrangement. For some reason, he always felt that there was something special about V5's top lane.

"That's right, don't worry about it."

White Crescent nodded and continued:

"From the perspective of the German Cup, V5 is not a team that focuses on the top half. I admit that their top laner has performed very well in the past few rounds, but they are all from the perspective of sacrificing themselves. That kind of cleverness and play style is not compatible with the strategy centered around the top half. Even if they can, we can just let Zoom carry it."

Hearing the affirmation from his coach, Zoom rolled up his sleeves and flexed his muscles, indicating that the top lane could be completely handed over to him.

Everyone remained silent, just blindly believing.

After all, given Zoom's track record, it's hard to believe there's any possibility of a failure.

at the same time.

Luo Ji, who had just finished the live broadcast, was dragged to the conference room for a meeting.

In fact, Nofe and Zero did not want to hold this meeting. The players were already in a tense state on the eve of the finals, and the most important thing to do was to let them adjust themselves.

But it was already late at night, and they found that no one had left the training room, so they decided to hold a small meeting to chat and relax.

of course.

In fact, everyone understands where their pressure comes from.

Unlike the previous ones, the teams that appeared before either had a casual attitude, or had a mixture of main players and substitutes, or were like FPX where one player led four teams.

But TES is different.

It is a true galactic battleship.

Outside the stadium at this moment, strictly speaking, not many people are optimistic about their team, even though their record and performance along the way have not been bad.

Because the gap is there.

TES has a full main lineup, and even if they have been on vacation and neglected training, the team's foundation cannot be underestimated.

In contrast.

Their weaknesses are more obvious: the team members are not well coordinated, the tactics are not deep, the famous players are too old, and the young players lack experience.
Coming all the way from the German Cup to here, the runner-up result has actually lived up to the expectations of V5 since the team was established. After all, it only took them less than a month.

but.

not enough.

This is not enough.

Throughout the room, everyone's efforts have been seen by each other over the past few weeks. There is no reason why they must win. If you really want to ask, then there is perhaps only one reason.

They don't want to lose.

This desire for victory was aroused by Luo Ji.

His pure and passionate soul and eyes that remained pure from beginning to end successfully ignited everyone's hearts within a few weeks, allowing them to feel the long-lost passion for e-sports in their youth.

in the room.

Nofe looked around at every face inside, his fingertips tapping the tactical board, making a crisp sound:
"I won't say any more than that."

"Every one of us who came to this team wanted to prove something to our past selves."

"We've fought our way to this point not by relying on the mercy of others, but by our own hard work. TES is just one hurdle before us, but after we overcome this one, there are still many, countless more to come. The enemies we once thought were terrifying will seem nothing more than that if we extend the battle line."

Silence swelled amid the hum of the air conditioner, and fighting spirit spread amidst each other's silence.

It was four o'clock in the morning in Shanghai. They were like a group of soldiers about to go to the battlefield, undergoing the final inspection by the battlefield commander.

"What's all the hard training for?"

"For money? For fame? Or for some other reasons? None of that matters. What matters is that esports itself is pure and unadulterated. The winner takes all, and the weak are defeated."

"I've always had high hopes for you guys. Compared to many other teams, you've already developed a strong team spirit."

“Esports is a five-person game.”

"Five people can be a group of scattered individuals, or they can be a sharp, tempered blade."

The next day.

The day after Christmas came, and the match between V5 and TES officially started.

When the game reaches the finals, the popularity of this round of games will reach its peak. Not only the e-sports audiences who pay attention to the games, but even those who don’t pay much attention to the games and only play the ARAM will click in to watch in their spare time, not to mention the various anchors who make a living from this.

[Today's match, the Avengers vs. Akatsuki organization belongs to this. 】

[Don't ask, the answer is: things will change over time. Don't despise the young and poor. ()]

[Pinxixi Battleship vs Galaxy Battleship, if V5 wins, won't TES be humiliated?] [Winning for V5? That's hard to do~ The players aren't on the same level.]

It’s TES after all.

This team has been very popular since JKL transferred and joined. In comparison, the popularity of V5 team is ridiculously low. Sixteen consecutive losses are unlikely to cultivate any form of team fans. The few that do exist are probably because of Rookie and Karsa.

However, Luo Ji didn't care.

He just carefully remembered the coach's words, including some of Zoom's subconscious habits that Nofe found out. For him, some things had to be relearned.

People who travel frequently know:
Even if you could go back in time, you wouldn't be able to remember so many branches and details, just like a top professional chess player, no matter how many times he reviews the game, he can't remember all the changes in the AI.

Moreover.

Even though he was full of confidence in himself, he could not help but respect the opposing player, Lao Deng.

In a sense, disrespecting your opponents in competitive events is disrespecting yourself.

You cannot have the heart to fight with others, but you must keep your opponent in mind, so that you will know what skills he is good at, his weaknesses, his strengths, his underwear, his address, his home phone number, his movement trajectory, and when it is convenient to sneak up on him and hit him with a club.

These are all extremely important details (bushi)

Irrigated by data.

The bus responsible for transporting them finally successfully brought them to the venue. At this moment, the contestants who got off the bus were somewhat sleepy.

On the one hand, the reversal of the biological clock caused by staying up late makes them feel a little dazed because they are not fully awake.

on the other hand.

It's hard to tell whether these players are secretly doing something in their rooms late at night.

to be honest.

Not every man is Cao Cao. What Cao Cao could get in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", many people in reality can only get.

"Is there really nothing wrong with their current state?"

Not far from the contestants, manager Domo frowned and asked uncertainly.

"It's okay, you're just worrying too much." Nofe rubbed his equally obvious dark circles, and blurted out in a calm tone: "If they were still energetic before the game, it would actually mean that their condition was not good. Now it's good enough."

Although both his daily routine and appearance are very unhealthy.

But for professional players, persistence is the key, and they firmly believe that as long as they persist, changes can be made.

If you don't believe it, you can also learn it. Just do less exercise, watch more movies, and take turns drinking carbonated drinks. Don't hold back when you want to drink. Stay up late if you can. Stick to it for three months, and you will find a different person. If you stick to it, you will see miracles ()

"Wait, is that TES's car over there?"

"Let me see, it seems to be true."

Perhaps it was luck that they also met TES who arrived at the stadium at the same time. From a distance, Luo Ji saw the "fighting without regrets" that he had only seen on the screen in his previous life.

Of course, it mainly depends on JKL.

At the end of S11, JKL had already developed a "divine body". From a distance, his tonnage seemed not much worse than Zoom's. But when he got closer, he found that the big head was a big part of the reason.

It's before the game after all.

The two players simply exchanged glances from a distance, exchanged greetings, and let it go. They were so calm that there was no sign of any dispute. I asked curiously:
"Strange, why do you react like this?"

"How else should we react?"

Everyone's eyes turned to look over, even Luo Ji felt a little embarrassed, but he continued to ask, "According to the rumors online, TES has fired Ka Ge's evil boss. JKL is not only Ka Ge's ex, but also the target of Qi Shen's (Photic) revenge. Why are you all so calm?"

"???"

After Luo Ji's explanation, the others finally responded with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Don't listen to that nonsense, kid. Changing teams in esports is perfectly normal. Talking about hatred and resentment is completely nonsense. If you're really saying that, then how about our training match?"

"Even if we avoid the training match, what if we can form a team together later?"

"Even if you don't form a team, you still need to keep each other company after retirement. If you have bad relationships, few people will be willing to play with you."

Listening to their explanation, Luo Ji reconfirmed his thoughts.

Sure enough, this is a profession.

Everyone is chasing their dreams while trying to make a living. If you have a low EQ, you won't be able to stay in the profession for long. Of course, this only applies to talented players. Readers who will have a successful career in the future know that when you become a strong player, you will find:
[Life is really beautiful, and all the people I meet are good people].

"Okay, now that the game is right around the corner, we should start discussing our tactics for today."

After walking all the way to the lounge backstage and putting away his equipment, Nofe clapped his hands, attracting the attention of all the contestants again.

"We have to admit one fact, that is, TES is very strong, really strong."

"Because of their strength, we must seize every scoring opportunity, which naturally includes the biggest flaw of TES coach (White Crescent Moon) himself."

"Generally speaking."

"He would choose to play the hottest meta in the first game of a Bo5 to see if his team could handle it."

"If he can handle it, it will be 3:0 or 3:1 for the whole round. If he can't handle it, he will make tactical adjustments."

"And this is our opportunity."

Why can he confirm it so naturally?
Because eight out of ten e-sports coaches in professional competitions will play like this at the beginning of a BO5 when they are bullying the weak, just like when they played against FPX in the semi-finals, Nofe also made this "mistake that all coaches make" in the second game.

to be honest.

I just relied on the fact that the operators in my own card pool were too good, thinking that it didn't matter if I lost a game, I could adjust my position later, and then bring in the invincible "Red, Yellow, and Blue", or even the invincible Vishdel, and then everything would be fine.
Correct.

Even the entire LPL knows what TES's [Vishdel] is. It is nothing more than a Draven system with JKL as the main player. This set of things has not changed after so many years of playing. Anyway, in the key games, just use "Determined Eyes".

Listening to Coach Nofe's voice, Luo Ji immediately understood what he meant.

What is the popular version of this version?
There are Jinx and Aphelios on each side in the bottom lane, and two warriors in the top lane are facing each other. The main focus is on the two ADs in the bottom lane, and the rest depends entirely on the game between the mid and jungle.

of course.

It is also possible that the opposing White Crescent suddenly makes a steady move, bans both ADs, and forcibly speeds up the game rhythm. This is not impossible.

Just when he was thinking about how to take down the old bull Zoom.

ear.

The coach's instructions suddenly rang out.

Considering that most of you may not have experience in this area, here is a brief explanation of Coach Nofe's tactical arrangements in a way that everyone can understand:
"I dream."

"Ah? Here!"

"This time, your mission is crucial. You must march from the front to the perimeter, fearless of sentries, and daring to break through. Follow orders, wait for items, call for a double pull, and get the first kill. Be the people's good duelist, the people's good first charge. Can you do it?"

"Report! We can do it!"
