My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 248 Vietnamese Fermented Bean Curd, Step Forward!
The news of V5 defeating G2.

This effectively stopped the negative online comments. After all, the team had been on a four-game winning streak, but suddenly they started getting sick one after another, and then TES started having problems again. It all seemed rather ominous.

The leaked microphone from the hero during this period has caused many netizens to feel somewhat agitated.

Good grief, even the "Big Brother March" is here.

V5's team voice chat was as hilarious as ever; all I can say is, we all became the big shots that year.

[No problem, my dream's performance is definitely that of the team's leader, and the crocodile really did get spinning ( ) )]

[The title is misspelled; it should be "The Me You See."]

at the same time.

The lobby of the hotel where the athletes are staying.

The V5 team successfully reunited with the G2 members.

Although they couldn't shake hands on stage for various reasons, they were still able to appreciate each other and have friendly exchanges after the competition.

We need to call on the host, "Xia An," as a human translator.

Then everyone manually opened the translation software.

"So far in S12, you are the team with the best chance of winning the championship that we have ever seen."

"Really? That's an honor."

Luo Ji reached out and shook hands with Bibabu.

“We’ve played against teams from many regions. In the top lane, the only ones who can give me a sense of powerlessness are you and that top laner from T1.”

"This year is truly a gathering of monsters."

"Judging from your resumes, you and that person are both newcomers who only debuted this year."

The entire G2 team felt somewhat incredulous.

in previous years.

Talented players are emerging in various regions, not just in LCK and LPL. Players like Caps and Perkz were representatives of their respective regions during their eras, but now they are also experiencing a generational gap.

Luo Ji readily accepted Bibab's praise.

Things are different abroad than at home. In China, you should be humble when you receive praise, as this will make you seem more "mature". But abroad, being overly humble will only make you seem pretentious.

"In our area, there's a saying: 'The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward.'"

"So."

"I also have something to say to you."

"As our old acquaintances and seniors, we must not be completely swept away by the younger generation."

Upon hearing this, the G2 members all smiled, with Caps, as their spokesperson, not to be outdone, saying:

"We'll meet again in the knockout stage."

In their view.

V5 has no hope of winning the next match. With these points, it's impossible for them to catch up with V5 for first place in the group, unless V5 goes winless in the next match and goes on a killing spree.

But what about the other two?
EG, what a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp.

DK is a group of patients banding together.

In this round, it's time for them to leverage their home advantage!
however.

A few days later.
"I'm sorry, I've let V5 down. I'm very sorry."

It's still the same hotel lobby.

the difference is.

G2 was in high spirits a few days ago, determined to secure another spot in the group stage. However, in less than a few days, they were defeated by DK in a crucial BO1 match and were eliminated in the round of 16.

How should I put it?

Luo Ji scratched his head, unsure of what to say for a long time.

to be honest.

Even though they had already lost to them once, they still couldn't forget their slut Salafine when they were with DK.

of course.

One reason for this is that G2's bot lane was indeed weak.

Many people don't understand what level of AD Flakked is because most viewers don't watch European matches, but if I were to put it this way, he's essentially the European version of Huanfeng.

Then you should understand why Coach DK didn't dare to give him a traditional AD carry role.

This version revolves around the bot lane.

If Luna and Karel can't be used, it's basically equivalent to being half-useless.

Facing G2's withdrawal.

Luo Ji could only offer a few words of comfort before watching them silently leave the hotel where they were preparing for battle. Of course, they weren't the only ones who needed to leave.

2022 10 Month 16 Day.

This is a day that TES fans will remember for a lifetime. On the seventh day of the group stage, TES, who were highly anticipated by the audience at the beginning of the group stage and believed that they would definitely advance, fell to the Vietnamese team GAM on the first day of the second round of competition.

This loss.

This means that TES only has a theoretical chance of qualifying, and this theoretical qualification depends on winning the remaining two games, while also relying on the results of other teams.

The funny thing is, they actually won the next two games; even more funny is that TES still failed to advance.

This result.

Not to mention the audience and commentators, even the most hardcore gamblers never expected that TES could lose the game in such a dramatic and thrilling way.

It's worth noting that the only player the Vietnamese team GAM can boast is Levi.

The jungler Galaxy, who was essentially a low-budget version of FPX, led four mediocre players from FPX and crushed TES on the spot.

This time.

The entire internet instantly descended into chaos.

I really like one of General Pham's quotes: "Next, we're going to lose to Vietnam."

[You only beat GAM in the first round, and only lost to GAM in the second round. TES, you really know how to pull off some surprises.] [TES is strong mainly because: their mid laner is strong, their jungler is strong, their support is strong, their AD carry is strong, their roaming is strong, their coordination is strong, their awareness is strong, their mechanics are strong, their laning is strong, their last-hitting is strong, their communication is strong, their team fighting is strong, their split-pushing is strong, their roaming is strong, their coach is strong, and their drafting is strong. In summary, they'll make it to the top 16.]

[This year at the World Championship, TES's main goal is to have an opening match, a battle for honor, a do-or-die match, fight to the bitter end, and finally dock in Wuhan.]

Let's swim back to Iceland first; we know the rest of the way well.

LPL's online trolls have always been very well-mannered, consistently adhering to the "three no-trolls" policy:
1. Don’t criticize middle-aged people, because they were young once, but their edges were smoothed by life.
2. Don't criticize women; they're naturally slower to react, and playing games is already quite difficult for them.
3. Don't criticize children; they are the future of gaming, and we shouldn't hurt their young minds.

The only problem is.

Once they step onto the battlefield called the internet and pick up weapons called mice and keyboards, they easily become indiscriminate in their actions, regardless of gender or age.

This was almost entirely a trolling frenzy.

Simultaneously.

Apart from Luo Ji.

Everyone at V5 couldn't understand TES's record.

It's worth noting that during the Spring Split, TES was so strong that they were competing with them for the championship; even in the Summer Split, they fought a fierce four-game series against them in the winners' bracket finals.

结果
So you've got a team that's almost entirely healthy, a team that's been playing a "smurfing" game, and you're only losing big bets, never the right ones? Be honest, has your club awakened some kind of defense-breaking system?

Did they just give you a whole series of system tasks and get you straight to the final chapter?
After waiting for a while...

In the same hotel lobby, Luo Ji and the others finally met the TES team, who had packed their luggage and were ready to leave.

When they were found, it was obvious that even their forced smiles were difficult to see.

But Luo Ji didn't say anything.

She simply nodded quietly, then watched them walk out of the hotel with their lips bitten, heads down, and no words in sight, as if they didn't want anyone to see their expressions.

"This is defeat."

Kasa sighed and placed his hands on Xiao Yan and PPGOD's heads respectively.

"No matter how dazzling your past achievements are, in the end, as long as you make even one mistake, you will be eliminated. With that, all your hard work for the whole year will vanish. If you play poorly, it will be a disgrace that you will remember for the rest of your life."

“What’s even more ridiculous is that…”

"The closer you get to that position that everyone desires, the closer you are to becoming the biggest loser."

"so."

"We can only force ourselves to keep improving, so that we don't end up like them, leaving in such a pathetic way."

He knew the significance of Luo Ji's suggestion to bring the team members here.

Although it is somewhat unethical.

But they did use TES as a negative example. No matter how much they said, it was not as memorable as seeing the loser's miserable state.

"I'm actually still a little worried about that guy."

Rookie shook his head.

He came from the old IG team and has always had a good relationship with JKL, otherwise he wouldn't have transferred to TES in S13 to play LOL with JKL.

Seeing them like this, I felt really sad.

"Don't worry, he's not that fragile."

After glancing at the TES team, who had already disappeared outside the hotel, Luo Ji took the lead and turned back to the hotel.

This is before the time travel.

He had wondered if TES would ever recover, but as it turns out, he was overthinking it. TES's fate was sealed from the start:
It will always be on the path of making history.

That night.

Saint Gun Bro also sent a message to Luo Ji.

TES's elimination in the round of 16 has had a significant impact on the other LPL teams that qualified.

Laoqiang: "You went to see TES?"

Luo Ji: "No, we were just sitting in the lobby when they came out to see us."

Laoqiang: "You're being silly. This is your first time participating in the World Championship. Watching too much of this will only make your mind wander. You should stay in your room and grind ranked games."

Luo Ji: "No way, I was thinking of seeing if I could stumble upon Quesanti's secret shop near the hotel. I should bring back some local specialties after coming out."

Prison Gun: "???"

Right after TES was eliminated, the group stage draw gradually became clear.

Group winners: T1, V5, DRX, EDG
Second place in the group: GENG, DK, RGE, JDG
It's like the birth of the butterfly effect.

EDG maintained their 100% win rate against GENG up to S12, managing to snatch first place in the group from GENG.

Based on the idea that traffic is king.

finally.

The draw for the upper and lower halves of S12 is as follows:
Upper bracket: V5 vs. GENG, T1 vs. JDG
Bottom bracket: EDG vs. DK, DRX vs. RGE
After the draw results were announced, almost every team was overjoyed.

King against king, against general.

The upper bracket, in particular, was incredibly intense. When the group assignments were announced, even Luo Ji instinctively clenched his fists and widened his eyes.

this.
What a wonderful start!
Make the best plan: first eliminate GENG, then T1, then DRX to slay the demon and prove your path, using the blood and souls of three LCK teams to pave your own golden road.

Is there a better grouping in the world?
Studio.

The barrage of comments scrolled by in a flurry.

[666, they're not even acting anymore.]

If either the pigeon or the dragon fork had won, I can't even imagine how prestigious this year's competition would have been.

[What kind of slaughterhouse is the upper bracket? Teams that make it out of there are practically guaranteed the championship, right?]

I can't stand it anymore, I need to see the game as soon as possible!!!

Despite it being late at night, the sudden group assignments got almost every LPL viewer excited.

这 是
Real combat is awesome!
