My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 237 Instantaneous Shadow Killing Array! ?

Hit the road.

Having successfully profited from widening the gap with AQA, Luo Ji has not stopped his actions.

He is Yone.

Compared to Fiora's wave clear efficiency, which requires slashing one hit at a time, his Q skill's wave clear efficiency is undoubtedly much higher, much like a mechanical team versus a human team, focusing on an efficiency crushing victory.

The second wave of minions has arrived.

After Q skill was used again.

at the moment.

He was just one minion away from leveling up to level two, while the enemy Fiora was clearly not.

Niu Guli began to retreat.

He needs to create distance equal to the range of Yone's W skill.

of course.

The key is to twist open this wind-blown Q.

However.
No matter how he twisted and turned, the Q skill with wind behind him eventually followed the minion, its end sticking to him and knocking him into the air.

Followed by.

It's about instantly learning and decisively releasing the E skill!

"So fierce!?"

The person on the other side was clearly startled by Luo Ji's actions. Their first reaction was to retreat after landing, but Niu Guli only took one step back before he realized what was happening.

No!

If you retreat, you'll at least get forced to use Flash. Only by moving in the opposite direction and seizing the opportunity when you're also level two will you have a chance to fight Yone.

So he decisively turned back.

I don't know.

While he was keeping an eye on the minions' health, Luo Ji was also keeping a close eye on his own minions' health. When he found that the minions' health had dropped to almost zero, he activated the second stage of his E skill to retreat.

The moment Fiora finally managed to reach level two by defeating that minion.

in front of you.

Yone, having used his E skill to return, had already created some distance behind him.

He got it for free.

Moreover, it left Niu Guli completely bewildered, looking around with his sword drawn.

[So fierce!]

[After watching: It's easy; in practice: You'll be drenched in sweat]

Yone isn't actually afraid of lightly armored fighters like Fiora. The four sisters don't have lane priority yet, and they really can't beat Lethal Tempo double-blade champions before level three. As long as they have lane priority, they can easily win.

[That means if Nuguri brings Conqueror Fiora and Grasp of the Undying, he'll just be a pure Yone toy.]

"As expected, it has been completely seen through."

off screen.

V5's three coaches watched this scene with great interest.

It's worth noting that Luo Ji's usual laning partners are three LPL champion top laners who are fierce, slick, and resilient under pressure. Occasionally, he'll also try out Bin and Ale for a change of pace.

It's not that training with these people will necessarily make you stronger, but it means that your competitive state is definitely at its peak.

in contrast.

Niu Guli, however, is not.

Niu Guli, born in 99, was already 23 years old in Season 12. As any gamer knows, before the age of 23, he was fearless in lane and would kill anyone if he looked at them. After the age of 23, he became very cautious in lane and would feel like there was a jungler behind him if he looked at someone.

Not everyone is a freak like Faker.

He was 28 years old while playing against someone who was 23.

He was able to give commands while also putting up a 50/50 match against you in lane.

Level 2 E was Luo Ji's first attempt at exploration.

Although Niu Guli reacted quickly, that momentary retreat could not escape Luo Ji's eyes.

"The gap has widened."

"Next, after reaching level three, Fiora will naturally have lane priority, but this skirmish has revealed his thoughts; he is very afraid of V5's jungler."

In other words...

"In this game, DK's focus should still be on the bottom half of the map."

Just a tiny movement.

Niu Guli completely exposed his team's tactical arrangements.

Kasa got wind of this and quickly devised a suitable invasion route in his mind, while Xiao Yan and PPGOD in the bottom lane also began to prepare for the early laning phase.

V5's communication and collaboration are too fast.

The feedback is reflected on the scene.

This created an information gap for Canyon, since the jungler was Maokai against Graves, theoretically Karsa would definitely invade.

But that's the strange thing.

DK placed two wards at the jungle entrance early on, specifically to track down the enemy Graves.

But since Graves wasn't in the vision right now, he must be planning something. So, as he moved down, he also marked his teammates, almost certain that Graves wanted to make a move on the bottom lane.

However.
When he finally arrived at the bottom lane, he found nothing there.

"No?"

"How could there not be?"

"If a Graves player doesn't invade, gank, or cause trouble, is he still a Graves player?"

"Wait! Oh no, Xia Quan (Niu Guli), retreat quickly!"

Once a series of information successfully converged in Canyon's mind, it took him less than a second to figure out Graves's movements.

but.
too late.

"boom!"

The smoke grenade landed, kicking up plumes of white smoke.

The moment his vision disappeared, Niu Guli sensed something was wrong.

In the World Championship, the chances of getting a solo kill in the early laning phase are very slim.

Everyone here is a world-class athlete.

Under the watchful eyes of the world, the playstyle will be quite stable. At this juncture, if you want to get a kill, you either need to wait until you have the equipment and rely on long-term kiting, or you need to wait for the jungler to help you.

Luo Ji did the same thing.

The smoke grenade fired by the male gun briefly caused Niu Guli to lose his vision. To make matters worse, before losing his vision, he saw Yone holding a whirlwind.

Do we need to anticipate this?

Do not!
We need to be more stable.

He initiated his escape with QW skills, and while moving, he suddenly opened [Lawrence's Mind's Eye Blade], even cautiously placing his fingers on Flash.

then
As expected, it didn't work. The enemy Yone didn't even use Q; instead, he used E to push forward and create space, then quietly watched his next move.

His demeanor was composed.

It's hard to believe that this is a player who is only participating in the World Championship for the first time.

Do you have such a big heart?
no way.

Nuguri, who failed to anticipate and block Yone's knock-up Q, could only continue to use Flash.

"Shh!"

Seeing that Fiora had used her Flash, Karsa chuckled and chose to let her go.

According to the rules of the martial arts world, one must dodge an attack without killing the other.

【Kasa, it’s still him! 】

【My dream is so naughty! It's holding back the wind and refusing to interact, just staying here playing with the crickets~】

[Niu Guli seems to have aged; he doesn't seem to have the same level of detail and dominance in lane as before.]

[Who can resist laughing when a paramecium can't crawl out of a petri dish?]

[The former world's best top laner has fallen from grace. No way, let's call KFC! Let's call McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway—they're all here!]

not worried.

Now everyone can really rest assured.

During S11, everyone was saying, "This guy should never be sent back to LCK," after watching Nuguri's performance in the LPL. But after a whole year of infighting within FPX, Nuguri unsurprisingly fell apart.

Just the first few minutes of this match.

People are still the same person.

However, their playing style has completely lost its former flair.

"Are you okay?"

"He flashed, the enemy top laner is no pushover."

When asked by his teammates, Niu Guli shook his head, his mind filled with the image of Yong En calmly forcing him to retreat.

This is going to be tough.
Taking advantage of this gank by the jungler, Luo Ji successfully positioned the minion wave in a comfortable spot. He then used his Flash, and his W skill had a cooldown of 24 seconds.

Correct.

Seeing this familiar scene, top laners should know what Nuguri should do right now.

He should be playing on his phone.

What to do~
This is a world championship; the referees behind him won't give him the chance to take out his phone.

That's gone.

He could only sit in the bushes, pitifully sniffing out the experience of the minions at the extreme distance.

"As expected, V5 has been hiding its true strengths."

off screen.

The coaching staff of the LCK teams said through gritted teeth.

Nobody's a fool.

If a team can go toe-to-toe with V5 in scrims, that's pretty impressive. After all, many teams are very confident in their abilities, and going toe-to-toe with the LPL's top seed just proves how good they are.
However.
After they got together and started bragging to each other.

what?
You're evenly matched with V5 in scrims? What a coincidence! I'm also evenly matched with V5 in scrims, huh? You're saying he's also evenly matched with V5 in scrims?

My family members were drenched in sweat.

Unconvinced, several LCK teams asked teams from other regions, and they all proudly claimed that they were evenly matched with V5 in scrims.

Case solved.

Now the whole world has been made a fool of by V5.

And now.

V5 has only revealed its synergy aspect, but in this one area, no other team has a way to counter it.

How do we counter this collaboration?
Their team has a good atmosphere and close communication; you can't just unplug their earphones, can you?

This isn't Kimchi's territory.

"My dream, can we handle things on the road?"

"Yes, absolutely! This is incredibly powerful. If the opponent were a Sword Immortal in his prime, I would give way a bit, but this old Sword Cub, I can still handle him."

Hit the road.

Luo Ji has undoubtedly entered a phase of single-line suppression.

I'll just stick to this minion wave anyway.

If you're capable, come up and farm minions. The stakes are simple: your life. Niu Guli had no choice but to watch helplessly as his own jungler was still in the bottom half of the map.

at the same time.

Middle road.

Rookie stared intently at Xu Xiu on the opposite side, his mind racing as he considered his next move.

With Karsa showing up in the top lane, the immediate concern is the disappearance of the enemy mid laner, who could then coordinate with their bot lane, jungle, and support for a four-man gank on the enemy's mid lane.

but
Before he could think about it carefully...

Through the headset, the voices of support player PPGOD and jungler Karsa were already coming through.

"Hold on, we're coming."

Even though Rookie showed signs of a resurgence in Season 12 and was in great form, it is an undeniable fact that Lissandra cannot push lanes as well as the current version of Taliyah.

PPGOD understood the other side's decision, thought for a while, and decided to strike first.

Kai'Sa, with low health, went home.

The support player went to gank the mid lane.

Casa walked down alongside him.

This was clearly a three-man gank on the enemy bot lane. The brilliance of this move lay in DK's vision. The V5 bot lane duo chose to recall together, since the minion wave was already under the tower, yet they couldn't see any trace of the enemy bot lane duo.

"It seems like the enemy bot lane has gone back."

"You went back?"

Xu Xiu was stunned for a moment.

I glanced at the minimap subconsciously.

According to the information on the minimap, his own support had already pushed the lane into the tower, and it seemed that he was going to recall after getting a plate. Although he had thought that this combination could give him an advantage in the bottom lane, the fact that he gained an advantage so quickly was still somewhat beyond his expectations.

Xu Xiu was just thinking this.

Look back again.

In front of
It was already a chaotic mess.

Crystal Maiden's grappling hook, Graves's peek, and Riven's approach.

Three directions, three types of heroes.
