My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 240 It seems there's no longer any need to suppress myself.
The backstage area of ​​the competition venue.

While listening to the various "Ashiba" greetings from the next room, host Xia An couldn't help but keep raising the corners of her mouth.

It was as if some uncontrollable force was at work, causing her to develop some kind of illness where she would die if she didn't smile.

but.
Cool!
It feels so good!
This was so incredibly awesome!!!
Despite LPL winning all four of their previous matches, the victories of the other three teams still demonstrated the characteristics expected of LPL teams.

That is, LPL teams got off to a bad start, LPL teams made a series of blunders, LPL teams were on the verge of defeat, and LPL teams gave their victory speeches.

To put it simply, it has a rollercoaster-like feel to it.

Unlike V5.
From beginning to end, what was presented to the audience was absolute control over the opponent, the Death Knight.

Whether it's tactical operations, on-the-spot performance, or teamwork, they all delivered a visually pleasing and enjoyable experience.

There's absolutely no way to put up a fight, DK.

【Bring GENG and T1 here! I told you to bring GENG and T1 here!】

If the vision control were reversed, this game would roughly resemble a match between LPL and LCK teams from a long time ago. Absolute vision control led to even more hopeless team fight outcomes.

[Show God, come out and save us, Show God!]

In fact.

At this moment, DK and his group were also completely bewildered.

They didn't feel that they had done anything wrong in the early stages; it was as if the team inexplicably fell into a disadvantageous position as the game progressed.

In Luo Ji's view.

DK will definitely advance from the group stage in S12, but apart from the mid and jungle players, the other three players have performed poorly, especially Niu Guli. Luo Ji's impression of him is still stuck in his Niu Tou and Ma Mian era.

But let's compare them now.

The other side seemed to be Belial, who had completely degenerated into a useless piece of trash.

"Next comes their slow death phase. As long as we don't leave any openings and play a good defensive counter-attack, they will naturally be crushed by us this round," Kasa said with a smile.

"It wasn't destroyed."

Luo Ji corrected him in a timely manner:

"We are friends with DK, brothers, and two mirror images of soulmates. There is no question of whether we can destroy each other or not; it's about saving each other. We are trying to save them."

"Huh?" X4
The V5 group stared blankly at Luo Ji, who had just spoken, thinking to themselves, "You're really good at bragging, it's not even lunchtime yet."

Luo Ji, however, didn't care and just kept spouting his opinions:

"LCK has gone mad right now."

"Our region has won three championships in four years, which has forced them to prove their region status by defeating us."

"But playing for the sake of results deviates from the original intention of competitive sports, so we need to wake them up and save them by waking them up."

“Since we saved them once, we must save them from their misery again and completely rescue them from the alienated data. But as you know, these data-driven beasts will never give up so easily.”

"So, what should we do?"

"Fight!" X4
"Yes, it's time to fight!"

Although they didn't really understand the intricacies of Luo Ji's words, the V5 group subconsciously followed their hearts and shouted along as he spoke with great emotion and increasingly impassioned tone.

The referees behind him, however, were sweating bullets as they listened.

this.
Is this right?
When I was researching the history of wars in China, I heard that they always emphasized "having a just cause" when they fought, but I didn't understand what that meant back then.

Looking at it again now.

Goodness, so that's what it meant!
An absolute victory in a team fight brings absolute dominance and pressure.

Take the vanguard, push lanes, place the vanguard in the mid lane, and control the dragon.

Operations are proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner.

They completely suppressed the Death Knight, leaving him utterly helpless.

They are from S12.

The core tactics revolve around the jungle, which requires Canyon to pick a jungle carry champion.

Just like in the original world's quarterfinals match between DK and GENG, GENG's coach insisted on banning four junglers in one game.

And this round of group stage matches.

Danny clearly fell for Nofe's trick. Maokai is indeed a Tier 1 jungler in this patch, and could even be promoted to Tier 0 because he can be played in both top and jungle.
But this thing
It doesn't fit Canyon's playstyle or DK's tactical setup at all.

What should I do?
What can break this stalemate? Should we let it fester, or risk losing and make one last desperate attempt?
obviously.

DK has made their decision:

Grab the edge!

But after they made this decision, within their field of vision, Luo Ji's Yong En was very careful to keep the opponent at the sideline and not give them any chance.

As for Lissandra on the other side of the lane, DK didn't even consider ganking her, mainly because they couldn't catch her anyway.

The stalemate lasted for about twenty minutes.

Two minutes before the economic gap widens and the Dragon Soul Team is about to refresh.

at last.

It seemed that the team's overwhelming advantage made Luo Ji subconsciously relax, causing him to push the minion wave a little more than he would normally push once, reaching the vicinity of the river.

opportunity!

The large tree, which was already in the lower half of the map, began to move closer to Yone's position. Nuguri's Fiora even came out of her base and headed towards her destination, while Xu Xiu had already found the angle to land her ultimate.

Three packs in one!

The three players' actions did not escape the notice of the LPL commentators from God's-eye view. Under the director's camera, the small image showed that the signals of both teams were constantly pinging.

Longhair: "Does DK have designs on my dream's Yone?"

Zhao Junri: "But my other teammates weren't far away either. DK had no choice. Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, they had to try to catch this wave."

Rita: "It looks like...it's about to happen!"

in the screen.

Xu Xiu activated Taliyah's ultimate ability, and the end of the stone wall landed right next to Yone, who was preparing to retreat.

Opportunities are hard to come by.

Before this, no one would have thought that Luo Ji would be greedy for this move. Even though he quickly chose the angle of his ultimate move, he really couldn't do anything about the distance to this thing.

R [Stone Curtain]

The instant Taliyah's ultimate ability is generated.

In Luo Ji's eyes, the path of the stone curtain had already appeared in advance.

"They didn't choose to join the Miracle Team, but instead chose me?"

Luo Ji's eyes trembled slightly.

The next wave of map resources will refresh in two minutes. Fiora can see the approximate location through the minion wave, but they won't arrive at the battlefield at the same time to surround her, which means there is room for maneuver.

Also.

I was just short of money, so I greedily pushed for an extra wave of minions. I didn't even expect that, so how could the other side have prepared in advance?

"My dream, hold on, we are on the road."

In the headset.

The voices of his teammates rose and fell, but in Luo Ji's eyes, the non-refreshing node of the Rift resource team meant that even if he really donated this wave, it would only be feeding a bunch of kills.

Desire is surging.
It seems there's no need to suppress myself anymore.

Just as Taliyah was about to follow up with her ultimate and arrive at Yone's location, not far away...

R [Sealed Dust, Severed Thoughts]!
Contrary to everyone's expectations, when DK had already formed a three-man encirclement, Yone, who had Flash and his ultimate ready, did not react by running away.

Instead, they counterattacked!?
Taliyah, who hadn't even landed yet, only appeared briefly before Yone's ultimate ability landed, and was then forcibly "seamlessly connected" with her. The moment she landed.

Q - Mistake Jade Slash, W - Rin God Slash

He didn't try to mix basic attacks with his skills, as an extra basic attack would prevent him from making any subsequent moves. It was as if he had anticipated Xu Xiu's actions. After unleashing the QW damage in succession, he decisively stopped and made a small movement.

In Xu Xiu's eyes.

Luo Ji's series of actions were nothing short of perfect.

If Yone, with his ultimate ability, landing skill, and two-item build, really gets a full combo, his health will definitely not be able to withstand the damage, and he can only use W the moment he regains his freedom.

But on the other side.
But it was as if they had foreseen this scene.

A decisive stop and a perfectly timed movement followed by a basic attack caused Taliyah's W and E skills to miss almost simultaneously, just as she was about to retreat.

in front of you.

This was another successful [Mistaken Jade Cut] from Yone.

Open E.

While moving forward, unleash the final basic attack.

fast!
too fast!
That single moment of intense concentration allowed Luo Ji to unleash all his burst damage in an almost perfect manner.

Skill combos as smooth as Dove chocolate.

When to use skills, when to move and twist, and when to use movement skills to follow up.
Compared to operation.

This clarity of thought instilled even greater fear in the DK members.

"Shh!"

flash.

Realizing something was wrong, Xu Xiu made a quick, desperate dodge.

however.

This flash of speed, however, did not allow him to escape his fate of death.

Before him was Fiora, who had successfully made her way there. In the jungle was Maokai, who had activated his ultimate to try and lock down enemies. But what disappointed him the most was Yone, who had activated his second E skill and successfully returned to his original position.

E [Breakthrough Edge] Second Stage.

It deals additional damage equivalent to about one-third of the damage taken during the spirit form phase.

Yone only managed to land one basic attack while in spirit form, and Luo Ji only needed one-third of that basic attack's damage.

"Chi~"

Like a candle that has been suddenly blown out.

V5_Mebius killed DK_Showmaker
Luo Ji.

Successfully turned the tables!

on site.

Countless European and American viewers instinctively gaped, staring blankly at the kill notification on the screen. For a moment, their minds went blank, and they even forgot to celebrate immediately.

This looks like a three-man gank on the DK side, right?
Three against one, and they were killed?

Do you guys even know how to play?
on the screen.

Yone, who triggered his second E to return to his original position, was unsurprisingly controlled by Maokai's ultimate.

At this moment, he was still some distance away from Fiora's arrival. Canyon gritted his teeth and flashed over the wall to cast W, binding Yone once again.

With the help of the big tree, Niu Guli's swordswoman finally arrived.

The distance is satisfied only once.

He then unleashed his ultimate move, "Unrivaled Challenge," on Yone.

"So annoying."

Luo Ji murmured to himself, but his hands moved quickly.

The good news is: he successfully turned the situation from 1 vs 3 to 1 vs 2.
The bad news is that, facing the opposing top and jungle duo, he had used almost all his skills and could only retreat against the wall while using AQ to fight back.

While encircling and killing.

Niu Guli stared intently at Yong En's position.

He knew that Yone, who seemed to have used all his skills, actually still had a Flash available.

The reason for not submitting it immediately is...

It's because Luo Ji also knew very well that directly using Flash wouldn't escape Fiora's pursuit, so he was charging up the passive of his Q skill.

The blood flow was becoming increasingly turbulent.

Yone's basic attacks are getting faster and faster.

Soon!

He's about to use his Flashbang!

Whether Yone can escape Fiora's pursuit depends on whether he can dodge Fiora's Q skill and force her to interrupt her Q skill, which happens the second after Yone's passive is activated.

in front of you.

It was a sudden flash of light emanating from Yone.

Chase!
Without any hesitation, Niu Guli instinctively used his Flash ability to forcefully jump over the wall.

Regardless of whether Yone has the passive effect of his Q skill, he will not be able to escape their pursuit in this wave.

His Fiora is a wall that has been flashed through.

If Yone uses Flash to jump over a wall and then uses Q to escape, then his Q skill can catch up; if Yone uses Q to return, then there's a large tree in Canyon waiting for him.

This is a desperate, one-in-ten chance of death!

The instant I climbed over the wall.

As expected, he saw Luo Ji Yone's reverse Q skill stance, seemingly intending to use the third dash of the Q skill to turn back and shake off his Fiora.

but.
is that useful?
No matter how fast you run, you're still going to die eventually.

Just as he was thinking this.

Sudden.

Niu Guli seemed to have noticed something was wrong; his body suddenly stiffened, and he stared wide-eyed at the screen.

because
Just as Yone was about to use his Q skill and turn back to charge back...

Beside him.

Along with it leaping over the wall, there seemed to be a streak of azure light, which appeared to be...
Crystal Maiden's E skill!?

And behind him.

Canyon, who had practically sealed Yone's fate, unexpectedly found himself waiting for Yone's Q skill to return when he was low on health.

Should we choose to give the kill to me, the jungler, to minimize our losses?
Hagimon, you bastard.

Canyon, feeling a mix of emotions, was about to make a move when a striking blue figure suddenly appeared before him—it was none other than Rookie's mid-lane Lissandra.

"freeze!"

The power of frost descended suddenly.

At the same time, another purple beam of light shot towards the controlled Canyon.

Flying Thunder God - Lissandra
Purple Dog - Kai'Sa

Come on!
