My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 224: A Fight to the Death, You Ordered It, Bro~
The third round.

Since Redmi can hardly limit V5 players' hero pool on a macro level, it can only selectively target them and pick a theoretically viable lineup.

They gave up as soon as they set off.

Right now, V5's top lane has become a bizarre rule in Redmi's eyes.

If you focus on the top lane, the opponent can get ahead.

If you go all in, will you lose everything?

The best option is to give the top lane a utility tank to fight alongside the enemy, like in the last game. Strictly speaking, 369's Ornn didn't do anything wrong. Even if he was caught, it was obvious that he couldn't escape, so you can't blame him.

The idea was correct, but the result was wrong.

Then continue.

JDG continues to focus on the bottom lane and jungle, while V5 continues to target your mid lane.

then:

A round of ban:

JDG: Sylas, Poppy, Ahri

V5: Zephyr, LeBlanc, Taliyah
You only have a few mid-lane champions that can carry, so I'll ban them all without any regard for their strength. I'll let JDG pick Wukong, Yuumi, and Vi together.

A round of PICK:

JDG: Monkey King, Luna

V5: Cat, Sivir, Tsar

Second round of bans: Renekton, Kennen, Gnar, and Ornn were all banned. On one hand, JDG didn't want to give V5 a good initiator, and on the other hand, V5 didn't want JDG to engage.

The fourth hand.

V5 selected Vi.

Now Redmi is frowning again, because Sejuani has been released. V5 must be confident that they can counter everything your top laner does, which is why they reserved their fifth pick for the top lane.

In the absence of any particularly good meal replacements.

The last two hands.

JDG secured Sejuani and Viktor.

While assembling a team to engage, a long-range champion was chosen for the mid lane to clear waves, otherwise the team's overall range would be too short to hold the mid lane.

"Sure enough, the other side fell for it again."

V5 here.

Nofe's smile was practically reaching for the sky.

Actually.

What he presented this time wasn't anything new; on the contrary, it was an old tactic.

However, in the current 12.18 version, all coaches' strategies are locked into the idea that whoever gains more version advantage has the advantage.

Even he was like that at the beginning.

It wasn't until Luo Ji reminded him that he realized some old things were actually quite useful.

E.g
"The urge to kill is rising!"

Berserker Olaf.

Locked successfully!

When Olaf was picked, not only were the three commentators in the commentary booth stunned for a moment, but even Redmi, who was standing behind the player, was taken aback.

Olaf?
and many more!

V5 let go of the cat and also picked the cat this time, this is the cat-raf system!?

[An old fellow from ancient times~]

[S10 can hardly be considered ancient; it's more like this V5 is trying to use a sword from a previous dynasty to kill officials of the current one.]

[As expected of the V5, it's not picky at all; as long as it works, it's fine.]

[Oh no, with this lock-on and Yuumi-Raph combo, I can already picture JDG's two carries getting wiped out in team fights at lightning speed.]

So far:

JDG: Top lane Sejuani, Jungle Wukong, Mid lane Viktor, Bot lane Luna

V5: Top lane Olaf, Jungle Vi, Mid lane Azir, Bot lane Sivir + Yuumi

This lineup.

Both Hope and the toothpaste felt a little dizzy, but Missing quickly recovered and whispered to Hope:
"Don't worry, you have a whirlwind attack and a movement ability. You just need to run faster than a toothpaste tube."

Hope's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Yup!

It's like the famous "bear coming" archery theory.

Are bears scary?

Of course it's scary, but if you shoot your only arrow into your teammate's knee, then the bear suddenly isn't scary at all!
He was about to speak, excited.

next second.

It was through the headset that toothpaste's resentful voice came through: "Next time you're discussing selling out your teammates, remember to take off your headset. Just to show me some respect, I can hear you."

Hope, Missing:
This one.

JDG's intentions are clear: to force an advantage through the bottom lane. The Luna duo isn't going to play the late game, even though they've realized that V5's bottom lane has been completely transformed and is no longer as easy to break through as before.

But no way.

When you can't find a solution, copying someone else's homework is the best solution.

Just like it's easier to scoop fish from someone else's fish basket than to fish in a fishpond, the vegetables you take from the shopping baskets of middle-aged women are bound to be fresher than the ones you pick yourself.

Start.

V5 deployed almost all four of their players except Luo Ji, with their mid, bot, jungle, and support positions spread across the bottom half of the jungle. Rookie's Azir and Karsa's Vi were positioned at the top and bottom choke points of the jungle, while Sivir and Yuumi didn't even go to the jungle.

Upon logging in, head straight to the bottom lane bushes.

Nothing.

These two items are too weak at level one. If JDG is eager to gain an advantage in the bottom lane, the opponent will definitely have some tricks up their sleeve at level one.

as predicted.

Just as Xiao Yan and PPGOD were positioned in the bottom lane bushes, the vision they had placed in the bushes ahead suddenly revealed the main JDG force.

"Damn, they really know how to use underhanded tactics!"

"Luckily, I played it safe. Otherwise, if we had been caught out at the start and lost, I would have been scolded by the coach after the game."

PPGOD patted his chest in relief.

Now that they knew the opponent's movements, the duo decisively withdrew from the bushes, seeing their level 1 strategy fail. JDG wasn't discouraged, but instead pretended nothing was wrong and started the game normally.

"So here's the question: what if we lose because of this early game gank, or even lose the next two games and get reverse swept?"

"That's easy."

PPGOD responded irritably to Casa's wicked teasing.

"There's a small hill on the outer ring road, which is where we fished last time. There's a crooked tree on the hill that I call Chongzhen Happy, no, I mean, that's where I hang."

After avoiding an unexpected start.

Back online.

Luo Ji also officially started to face off against 369's Sejuani.

Talent is basically fixed.

Conqueror, Composure, Joy, Unyielding, and Triumph are not included because mana is a bit lacking after the rework, so the secondary runes are Biscuit Delivery and Approach Speed.

What is the "firm system"?

I've already played Olaf, why would I still be loyal to you?
Either you have them all.

Either you have nothing!
To be honest, Luo Ji felt it was a bit of a pity that the opposing team picked this hero. They had clearly released Aatrox, just to test the strength of 369's original world (LPL arena) number one Aatrox, but Redmi didn't fall for it at all.

So I picked a noob to lane against him.

That's okay too.

In the League of Legends annual cinematic "Call of Heroes," Olaf was supposed to be fighting Sejuani's minions. However, in Olaf's official autobiography, Olaf single-handedly defeated all of Sejuani's minions and then fought her to a draw.

But what about in reality?
To put it simply, if you happen to run into Olaf top lane in a match or ranked game, you only need to look at the lane before he throws two axes at you.

If you win, everyone else will come after you.

The various hero content creators on video websites, such as Xiong Wang, Lang Wang, Xiao Chao Meng, Lanling Han, and Hei Dong, are all no match for him.

This change.

It happened in April of Season 12, around April 13th, when it was released on the test server. Version 12.9 was officially released on the Chinese server. The specific changes included 35% armor penetration, and the ultimate skill could be infinitely renewed with just a basic attack, greatly enhancing the survivability of top laners.

The only problem is.

Seeing Olaf walk onto the lane, 369 was also full of doubts about the upcoming laning phase.

It's impossible not to have doubts.

It's been so long since he's faced Olaf in the top lane. He rarely encounters Olaf, even in regular ranked games. When he does, it's usually Olaf in the jungle. He really has no experience playing Olaf in the lane.

in contrast.

As a Sejuani player who became very popular in the mid-jungle flex role during the playoffs, Luo Ji has a lot of experience laning against Sejuani. In this matchup, 369 lost by three points from the very beginning.

Next.

It can't be 69, and it can't be 39, so it can only be 36.

"Hey guys, I have something to say about the top lane this game."

"No need for further explanation, West Sea!"

No, I mean...

"West Sea!!!"

Kanavi didn't give 369 a chance to speak at all. Just kidding, how could a jungler like him not know what 369 was thinking?
The question is, does he dare to go?
Sejuani deals sustained damage, and his Wukong's combo damage wasn't that much before he got his items. On the contrary, the enemy top laner was Olaf, and after the rework, instead of his attack speed increasing with lower health, he now recovers more health.

How can we catch them?!

This kind of stuff should be left to the great 69~
369 was stunned for a moment.

But soon he realized that his jungler clearly didn't want to come to the top side of the map to help him, and only had V5's bot lane on his mind.

no way.

All I can say is that energy is indeed conserved; their kinetic energy was converted into the jungler's incompetence. Of course, if the jungler could have fed the bot lane this game, then disregard what I said.

Start.

Luo Ji went straight into the grass in front of 369.

After the minion waves converged, he emerged from the bush and headed straight for Sejuani.

Yes.

At that moment, he was itching to fight.

369 was also helpless. He couldn't just stand by and do nothing when the opponent, who was at level one, came over and drove him away. So, he subconsciously wanted to fight back.

However.
When Olaf was almost face-to-face with him, 369 used a basic attack first.

He knew then that he had been careless again.

Because Luo Ji didn't use a basic attack immediately after approaching, but instead used Ctrl+3 to perform an action, 369, who saw the opponent start with an axe, mistakenly thought that the opponent had already made a move, so he also used a basic attack.

Olaf was hit by a basic attack, while Sejuani was unharmed.

This means
This way, if Olaf retaliates, he won't attract the minions' aggro, preventing the minion wave from pushing too quickly under the enemy tower.

Q [Throwing against the current]

slow down!
After using the armor-piercing attack, perform a basic attack, then another basic attack.

In just a brief exchange, 369 realized something was wrong with the damage. His Sejuani had a pigskin that could grant immunity to slows and increased armor and magic resistance, but against Olaf's armor penetration, those resistances seemed to have no effect.

Add it!

By this time, he realized something was wrong and wanted to leave.

However, Luo Ji, who had successfully picked up the axe, threw another axe in the backhand. Seeing Olaf chasing after him, he could only use his W to slow him down.

However.
This slowdown prevented Luo Ji from catching up with the pig girl in front of him.

But it bought him some time.

I deliberately timed the axe pickup. If you pick up the axe within 2.5 seconds of it being thrown, the cooldown will be reduced to 2.5 seconds. If you pick it up after 2.5 seconds, the cooldown will refresh immediately.

He then unleashed his refreshed Q skill again.

"Snapped!"

He looked at the axe that had hit him with such precision, as if it had been struck by lightning.

369 was also somewhat on the verge of tears.

Before the game.

All he could think about was going to blow up V5, a never-ending, damn-die battle, but that wasn't what he meant by a never-ending, damn-die battle.
Is this a hero that a human can normally lane against?

If you had picked her earlier, he would have insisted on picking Gragas. Why pick Sejuani? She doesn't heal at all and can't withstand Olaf's poke damage!
Moreover.

What about teammates?
Teammate, someone come save me!!!
