My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 234 I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me!
After the six professional matches ended, Luo Ji played several more matches in a row. Although he could occasionally match with some scattered professional players, the number was definitely not as large as in that one match.

And before this approach becomes completely popular...

Luo Ji also relied on his skillful jungling Xiao Yan to rack up points and achieve an eight-game winning streak, which thoroughly entertained the viewers in the live stream.

What did I tell you? What's the use of being good at fighting? Scientific research is the primary productive force!

[Awesome! I'm streaming and playing the game at the same time, and I've already got three wins in a row. This strategy requires almost no brainpower.]

[The core item is Blink Dagger, and then you can go whichever build you want. Did the stats designer fill in the blanks with their feet?]

[What numbers? I only see talent and effort.]

Because the pace of the commotion was too great.

Even players from many teams made a special trip to Luo Ji's live stream to check in and learn.

"I have to say, he really is a genius."

The rest area of ​​T1.

Bengi looked at the data provided by the analysts in his hand and exclaimed in admiration.

A few hours was enough time for their data analysts to thoroughly study the hero Udyr inside and out.

To put it simply, the so-called "Heavenly Fire Three Transformations" is a derivative based on the percentage damage of Udyr's Q skill.

The purpose of equipping the Conqueror's Blade is simply to deliver three hits as quickly as possible.

But apart from these three.

This hero's Blink Dagger build has no advantage whatsoever. It's a playstyle that does have some merit, but not much. Nevertheless, it's a new strategy that has been developed through research.

“Indeed, Zuse had a lot of fun too.”

Faker spoke with his arms crossed.

In fact.

With the changes in the game and the evolution of Mythic items in recent years, League of Legends has gradually transformed from a game focused on skillful gameplay into one dominated by numerical stats.

Is there something you don't understand?

Very simple.

For example, in the past, the Prince's EQ flash wasn't that simple; it required timing the last few frames of the EQ combo to barely execute the move.

but now.

Thanks to some minor version updates, this operation has become so easy that anyone without Parkinson's disease can master it with a few minor customizations.

There are many other similar hero changes.

to be honest.

The problem is that the mechanics have been simplified, making it easy for beginners to learn, while the numerical values ​​have been inflated. In addition, players themselves are also becoming more technically proficient. As a result, what truly differentiates players now is no longer pure skill, but rather their creativity.

Technology is merely the foundation upon which you can unleash your wildest ideas.

T1 isn't afraid of players with great skills; what they fear are players with wild imaginations, like Genshin Impact's BeryL, who are monsters who can play the game with both brains and skill.

"Let's schedule more scrims with V5 and see if we can get any more information out of them."

"Yes."

Here.

The LCK teams are thinking of increasing their scrimmages with V5.

Meanwhile, a group of teams from other regions, who were secretly using the progress search engine, inadvertently discovered the constantly changing information about LCK teams in the LPL.

Their eyes lit up instantly.

Then many people exclaimed, "Oh my god, how can LPL teams be so mean!"

Rationally, they condemn it.

In reality
Almost all the teams from other regions who discovered this tacitly chose to remain silent, and then tested the information little by little in LCK scrims.

all of a sudden.

LCK teams have all gone mad.

Overnight, their tactical arrangements seemed to be made of paper, and any team could see through them. It would be one thing if it were teams from the four major regions, but how come teams from other regions could also understand their operational weaknesses?
"What happened? What happened? What happened?"

"What's going on? The skill level of all teams in the world has increased ten thousand times, but only our LCK hasn't changed?"

"Something must be wrong. Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"

"Is it too late to develop new tactics now? Damn it, can someone tell me what happened?"

All four LCK teams were in complete disarray.

V5, the instigators of all this, were secretly laughing as they watched the information online. Although they were the ones who changed the information on Baidu, Nofe and the others weren't stupid; they were using an account borrowed from RNG.

Since RNG didn't even make it to Worlds, what's wrong with taking the blame for us?
Anyway
You two are old rivals too.

It can also boost your fame, right?

Nofe glanced at the online comments with satisfaction before gathering all the players together and distributing accounts to them one by one.

"Udyr's tactics, plus the leak of their tactical analysis, these things are probably enough to give them a hard time, and they shouldn't be able to concentrate for a while."

"Next."

"These accounts are super accounts from the North American server, the Korean server, and the Chinese Super Server. They have varying ranks. You can use these accounts randomly to play ranked games and practice heroes for a while."

With so many people prepared, they shouldn't be able to trace your game records.

Yes.

All preparations.

It was all for this moment of deception.

The answer is that the coaching and analysis teams in the LCK are too ruthless. Nofe, who himself came from the LCK, knows very well that the analysts in the major LCK teams can really pull together a whole team.

In contrast, in the LPL, even if they recruit, it's only a symbolic recruitment of one or two players.

There's no comparison with the other side.

If we don't give the players more accounts, we'll only create more problems for the opponents.

Then
Given the LCK training team's ability to detect and crack down on cheaters, most LPL teams' players' smurf accounts will be found. Once they find them, they'll know which champions you're practicing.

If you arrange them slightly further, all their special moves are exposed before they've even been used.

"Speaking of which, judging from the current version and the qualifying rounds, it seems that Miss Fortune and even Maokai are the heroes that fit the current version the best?"

"Female Gunner is normal. She appears in the World Championship Play-In Stage every year, but there are very few after the Knockout Stage."

Casarte clearly didn't take the female gunner seriously.

This kind of character has no mobility ultimate and is stationary, so a few quick dashes and double locks can completely overwhelm the enemy, unless the enemy intentionally triggers a game bug, such as Caitlyn and Tahm Kench's mobile shooting build.

but
If you use it, the official result will most likely be invalidated.

As for the big tree?

The contestants in the room tacitly refrained from asking any questions.

The top laner who came from EDG.

Asking someone "whether they can grow big trees" is not concern, but an insult, a complete insult to their background as a member of EDG!
The next day.

Xiao Yan's jungle playstyle began to spread like wildfire across various major competitions.

The World Championship only has a limited number of teams to follow. During the days when there are no matches, it is the best opportunity for various amateur content creators to stalk professional players and gain traffic. Countless content creators are eager to try to keep track of V5's players throughout the entire tournament.

How
When they actually started to take action, everyone was suddenly surprised to find that...

All the V5 players have disappeared.

I couldn't log into my usual accounts, and even after searching for suspected accounts on the US server using the process of elimination, I couldn't find any. It's as if the whole account has been hidden.

This information also caused a huge headache for the teams in the LCK.

and.

They finally discovered that their team's information had been exposed by Baidu, and after tracing a series of clues, they found that it was actually RNG who did it, so they began to condemn it fiercely.

RNG was also dumbfounded.

My entire club was put on vacation because we couldn't qualify for the World Championship. Now there's not a soul in the club, just a bunch of IOUs. You're telling me this is my doing?
He was about to retort.

Online.

A flood of voices supporting RNG appeared, even slightly diminishing RNG's reputation as a team prone to defaulting on debts.

this.
I couldn't possibly accept that.

Although I didn't want to make such a big fuss, now that you've found out, I won't hide it anymore, and I won't pretend anymore.

Yes, that's what I did!
RNG has publicly stated that it is willing to take responsibility for disclosing information about LCK teams.

how?

You think you can bite me through the screen?

Just as the entire internet's attention was drawn to RNG, Luo Ji's chat software was bombarded with messages from Flandre.

Prison Gun: You did this?

Luo Ji: This is slander! I'm going to sue you for slander!

Laoqiang: If you didn't do it, I'll eat it. I can't find any V5 player accounts on the entire internet. Who are you trying to fool?

Luo Ji: Could it be that we're all on vacation and haven't been playing ranked games?

Prison Gun: ???
RNG's overly cooperative attitude caught V5 somewhat off guard, and then something even more unexpected happened.

Shortly after they decided on a strategy to confront their fears, Luo Ji became the first to be infected and isolated in his room.

of course.

Others were no better.

the following few days.

Online, news of V5 players falling ill has been circulating one after another. This has led many content creators, who have been unable to find V5 players' ranked game records, to naturally assume that the entire V5 team is sick and therefore not playing ranked games.

That's right~
It turns out it wasn't that I didn't try hard enough, but that you were sick and simply weren't online.

You maintained your mystery, and I gracefully extricated myself, everyone was happy, and we can continue to collaborate sometime!
at the same time.

As the World Championship Play-In Stage continued, and the intensity of the competition increased, it naturally drew the attention of most people online.

This further reduced the pressure on V5.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

V5 started practicing intensely, and of course they still played scrims, but what was strange to teams from other regions was...

Whether it's a top LCK team or a newbie from another region's play-in stage, as long as you sign with V5, you'll leave satisfied in the end.

Because no matter who you fight.

V5 can put up a 50/50 match against the opponent, allowing the strong to find weaknesses and the weak to build confidence.

"You know, if we do this, what if they find out later that we bombed it?"

"What do you mean by 'exploded' or 'not exploded'?"

Luo Ji rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan. This kid was good in every way, except he was a bit naive. After thinking about it, he realized that Xiao Yan was a kid raised by his own team, so he could only helplessly explain:

"I'm just asking you, are we sick?"

"Yes"

"Does the patient's condition fluctuate? Sometimes they are very tired and have no energy, and sometimes they are okay and can concentrate a little."

"Too."

"Then it makes perfect sense for us to play training matches against them, going all out in one go, then weakening in the second, exhausting in the third, and finally making our move in the fourth and fifth rounds, right?"

That's the logic.

"That's right. Qi Shen, you need to know one thing: the World Championship is essentially a process of continuous learning for each team. The S-series champion is not necessarily the team with the strongest overall strength in the S-series, but it is definitely the team with the fastest learning ability in the S-series. That's why everyone is holding back."

after all.

When facing a strong opponent.

When a team can no longer provide emotional value, it should provide nutritional value.
