My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 254 The victory of overtaking on a curve is also a victory.

【I'm so excited!】

Even the number one seed has a gap!

[This is the true value of a top-tier player like Tianlong; their team fights are completely incomprehensible.]

[It's got that vibe! It really has that vibe! This old IG flavor is so pure! I declare that the true IG is in V5!]

The scene of the game.

Countless spectators couldn't contain their cheers and excitement.

The audience at the scene was actually quite simple.

They couldn't watch the game through a screen, nor could they enjoy the team's operations while eating fried chicken and drinking cola. Having paid for tickets, what they truly longed to see was a clash between two strong teams.

Or to put it more simply.

If you fight, I'll applaud you; if you run a business, I'll just give you a token smile.

The entire GENG team looked livid.

This one.

They were completely outmatched from the draft phase to the macro-management to team fights, but the game was only a dozen minutes in. They couldn't just surrender at this point, could they?
Then we have no choice but to grit our teeth and keep fighting.

Having suffered a near-total wipeout and acquired the Vanguard, the V5 team, having emerged from their base, began their true strategic operations at this moment.

Economy translates into equipment and vision control, which in turn translates into vision suppression.

then.

It's just a routine matter of sending out vanguards to push forward and then switching to elemental dragons.

Just when GENG thought V5's momentum had temporarily ended, what followed was V5's most retro Jordan rule.

41 points.

Yongen directly uses a one-way pass on the side lane.

GENG's lineup doesn't have a strong engage strategy. Even with one less player, V5's four-man frontline isn't afraid of the opponent at all. They have Heimerdinger and Ashe for clearing waves, and these two can even occasionally poke.

on the contrary.

If GENG's mid laner is short-handed and unable to support the side lanes, either Ashe or Sejuani can easily use their ultimates to force an engagement in GENG's mid lane.

This moment.

Everyone in the entire GENG had a chilling feeling.

actually
Did they have another trick up their sleeve here?

When V5 deploys their 4-1 formation, GENG has only one option left:

Let Ruler use his backside to dodge the strong engage, then let Chovy sneak up to the side lane to help Doran kill Luo Ji.

And you only get one chance.

If they fail, all that will follow is a slow death for them.

Although there is some gambling involved.

However, GENG's lineup is not suited for the late game, so they have to take this risk.

"Someone went over there."

Chovy had barely left when V5 successfully detected her.

The advantage of having vision control over the disadvantaged team is evident in this: you never know how many enemy wards are hidden in your own jungle.
"Can it be opened from the front?" Luo Ji suddenly asked.

"It's possible, but the other side clearly pushed EZ out to bait out hooks, and the AD is standing on the very outside. Has he forgotten that I used to be with RNG?" Karsa couldn't help but laugh.

During S8 and S9, they loved to use the "dog-selling" tactic.

at the moment.

Even you, Emperor Ruler, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are starting to imitate this?
at the same time.

Upon noticing his mid laner approaching, Doran immediately activated [Destroy].

V5 isn't stupid.

If Akali disappears from the front for more than five seconds, the enemy will definitely spam ping, but if you want to keep the enemy top laner in place, you have to go up and bait them.

Dolan used his ultimate ability very decisively; he was even prepared to sacrifice himself.

Watching the Sword Demon's movements.

Luo Ji did not hesitate at all, just as the Sword Demon was about to get close to him.

Q【错玉切】

Then, without hesitation, he followed up with his ultimate move, R [Sealed Dust Slash].

Landing in AQ!

Yone's skill level isn't solely determined by his skill accuracy, although that's important too, otherwise it would seem rather weak.

But more.

It is reflected in the smoothness of his skill release, that is, how to reasonably connect skills and basic attacks.

Luo Ji remained calm.

After AQ.

Sure enough, the enemy Aatrox instinctively threw out his W.

The E skill [Breakthrough Edge] directly rips off the spirit's lunge, and the W skill [Severing Slash] is unleashed again at the same moment.

From the time we met until now.

Luo Ji and Yong En's actions were incredibly smooth throughout.

From God's perspective, it's even more like Doran's Aatrox is standing there dumbfounded, while Yone is flying around him like a mosquito.

"We need to pull it apart first."

Dolan took a deep breath.

Instinctively, while using E in the opposite direction of Yone's position, the blade of Q skill was also aimed at the opponent.

He only came to keep people here.

If he goes all in, he simply can't beat the other side, so he should just give up.

However.
【Breakthrough Edge】-Second Stage!
As if he had anticipated the sword demon's movements, Luo Ji returned to the location of his E skill without hesitation after using W.

The primary objective is to create distance so that the Sword Demon can't attack you, and to interrupt his passive skill [Death Sentence] for a second.

Of course, there are many more.

His Q skill's passive is already full!

Look at the position where Aatrox activated his E skill.

Q【错玉切】!
Wind, displacement, and then knockback!

As if he had been given Observation Haki that allowed him to foresee the future, Dolan's every move was seen through from beginning to end, and he was completely led by the nose as if he were naked.

It was at this time.

Chovy's Akali finally arrived.

But at this moment.

The battlefield before him was a one-sided humiliation of the low-health Sword Demon by Yone, who was almost at full health.

this.
Is this right?
See this.

Knowing he couldn't escape, Doran gave up resisting. "Take the kill if you want," he thought, but his greatsword continued to pound into Yone's body.

Luo Ji is entitled to a bounty.

Although he didn't get many kills, he managed to get so many last hits that he earned the bounty.

soon.

V5_Mebius killed GENG_Doran
aside.

Chovy's eyes gradually revealed a hint of surprise.

In theory.

Yone's counter to Aatrox is valid, but in reality, in professional matches, only Zeus could truly pull off this kind of counter.

And now.

He witnessed another genius firsthand.

but.
Even the most talented person needs a developmental process!

After the standard top lane build of two core items, players start building tank items. Currently, Luo Ji's Yone has Berserker's Greaves, Blade of the Ruined King, and the Mythic item he's working on. While his damage output is high, he's also incredibly fragile.

It's time to end!

After calculating that Yone's health was just one RQA away from finishing him off, Chovy finally lost his patience and decisively used his second ultimate.

Is it all gone?

GENG's several eyes were fixed on the battlefield in the top lane.

however.

On the field, however, most eyes, along with the director's camera, were focused on another constantly moving image.

That is
The ultimate move from the ice, [Magic Crystal Arrow]!
Chovy aimed her ultimate at Luo Ji's position, and just as her ultimate pierced through Yone's side, she was inexplicably hit in the knee by an arrow the next second.

"Oh!"

Accompanied by a dull thud.

Ultimate move, control successful!
This moment.

Chovy felt as if her worldview had been turned upside down.

No, is this reasonable?
In an attempt to keep the enemy in place, the Sword Demon went up but was immediately seen through and hacked to near death.

You tried to ambush someone with a counter-attack, but an ice arrow came flying from mid-air and hit your knee?

What kind of chosen one?
No matter what.

responded to his.

Only Yone's ruined [Vampiric Ability] and his innate [Unyielding] and [Lethal Tempo] abilities.

One basic attack after another was unleashed.

The moment Akali regained her freedom, a Q skill with knock-up effect precisely knocked her up, and then V5's main force successfully arrived at the battlefield.

In an instant.

The entire gymnasium fell silent.

V5_Mebius killed GENG_Chovy
The moment the kill notification sounded, countless viewers stared in disbelief at the low-health Yone, falling into silence until several seconds later when they finally reacted and erupted in clamor.

WTF! Is Yone flying?!

[You promised a 5A-level combo, so why are there hidden skills in your combo?]

Stop showing off, stop showing off. If you keep doing that, this champion will get nerfed to a pulp like Old Li's Ryze.

[His combos were so smooth, even watching the replay felt like watching silk. Is this what an 18-year-old's reaction is like?]

Convinced.

I'm truly impressed.

Not only were the GENG players convinced, but even a group of LPL top laners were stunned in front of their screens and sighed.

I still remember the beginning of the year.

Luo Ji's top lane skills are still quite immature; his laning phase is either passive or slick, lacking the laning ability of someone like Jill.

The result now?

Without realizing it, they've already started to crush others with their skills?
Looking back at Luo Ji's growth history from the Demacia Cup to the present.

It is almost:

Day 1: Everyone has their own unique talents!
Day 2: Nature creates all things to nourish humankind!
Day Three: Heaven did not give birth to me, the Heavenly Emperor!
Day 4: There is no one like me in the world!
Day 5: The eternal night of Heaven's Way has begun!
Two against one were countered and killed, and in a four against three, they couldn't hold on and couldn't split their forces. With this gank over, GENG's defense completely collapsed.

The only opportunity was missed.

Then, it was time for the V5 two-piece set to beat one and a half pieces, and then, with the advantage constantly shifting, it became a three-piece set beating two and a half pieces.

Throughout the entire match, V5 consistently out-farmed GENG economically, while every V5 player always carried one or two Control Wards in their inventory after leaving the base.

The most desperate moment has arrived.

In a one-on-one situation, Luo Ji couldn't hold off on the flanks.

In a 4v4 situation, GENG couldn't withstand V5's aggressive initiation.

Even though Chovy and Peanut tried their best to deal with V5's backline, it still didn't work.

PPGOD doesn't care whether he dies or not; as long as he fulfills his tactical role, that's enough.

Xiao Yan goes without saying.

Even if he were to be killed, Luo Ji and Rookie would still share the damage output.

The advantage of the Trident lies in this.

Even if one of them fails, there will always be two others who succeed.

A few minutes later.

With GENG's final suicidal team fight ending, the high ground, GENG's main crystal, finally exploded under the siege of V5!

1:0
V5, take the first game.

The moment the crystal exploded, Kasa slipped behind Xiao Yan, reached out and touched the top of his head, giving his lazy hairstyle a good mess.

"What? This is completely holding off the enemy bot lane."

"Stop messing with it, bro. I finally got a makeup artist to do my hair."

Xiao Yan struggled desperately.

But on his face, he was smiling exceptionally brightly.

Although the advantage was gained through targeted and focused drafting, there is no doubt that he successfully played his role in this game.

Ruler, who was touted as being able to dominate him before the match, had few standout performances in the first game.

That's it.

It's good that we can win.

His match against Ruler was decided in a single best-of-five series, but there are many ways to win a match, and victory doesn't necessarily have to be achieved through a head-on confrontation.

Have you not seen Naruto?

Sakura's strength never surpassed Naruto's even in Boruto, but she found a new path and successfully "surpassed" Sasuke.

What does this mean?
This shows that overtaking on a curve is also a victory!
