My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 256 Domain Expansion!

Chapter 256 'Domain Expansion'!
This one.

Luo Ji was at a disadvantage in the early laning phase.

Even before receiving the major buff in the late S13 season, Renekton in the S12 World Championship is still a prime example of a top lane stat monster.

Looking at the laning phase alone.

Strong, but acceptable.

The annoying thing is that the jungler is very good at coordinating with you.

However, in professional matches, Renekton is mostly used to withstand pressure. Coach GENG's idea is simple: since he can't guarantee Doran's ceiling, he should try his best to guarantee his floor.

How can we guarantee that?

Just spawn numerical monsters and you're done.

Like Nadim in the Olympic javelin competition, his technique was extremely rough, his run-up was very weak, and his angle was not very good, but he had unparalleled power.

There are no tricks, it’s all numbers!
This time, Score has learned from the enemy's strengths to defeat the enemy.

But this time...

Contrary to his usual practice, Luo Ji chose to proactively invade the enemy jungle at the start of the game.

He knows it.

When playing Camille against Renekton, Doran won't stay in the river leading to the jungle for too long, even if he's stationed there. Instead, he'll go to the top lane's restroom around the same time to scout.

This one.

He even stood in the bushes connecting the top lane right at the start of the game.

Peanut himself came to the top half of the jungle to guard the area until the time was almost up before coming out and moving uphill, then returning to base from the bush where the crocodile was crouching.

Luo Ji grasped this psychology.

I slowly sneak over when the minion wave is almost up to the lane. If I get spotted, I go back to lane. If I don't get spotted, it's not a big loss. I'm just going in to give it a try.

"Eh!?"

"What is my dream trying to do?"

"He wants to invade GENG's jungle. Is he trying to gank Blademaster's jungle path? It seems like there's a chance. Peanut didn't see Camille."

"So we got this information!"

The enemy jungler's early game strategy determined Luo Ji's attitude towards Renekton in lane, as the trinket ward suddenly appeared at Gen.G's blue buff.

This one.

Peanut's early jungle route was directly exposed to Luo Ji and Karsa.

[Is it open?]

[What? It's open? It's never closed!]

Let's leave some room for GENG; he's been completely exposed. How is he going to dominate the LCK next season?

[If it weren't for the fact that throwing a match in Korea carries a jail sentence, I would have really thought this was staged; it's too outrageous.]

Such a scene.

Even Nofe and the others in the lounge thought it was an exaggeration.

"You made him do that?"

Zero stared at Nofe beside him, his eyes radiating a strong thirst for knowledge.

"I wish I had arranged it, but the problem is I have no idea."

Nofe shook his head, equally bewildered.

As for the scene?

The audience erupted in tremendous enthusiasm.

Whether the score is close or whether the game can go the distance and recoup the ticket price is one thing, but if the game is entertaining and unconventional, that's another matter entirely.

Compared to the rather formulaic openings of other teams, Luo Ji undoubtedly grasped the key points in this game.

It's just like when everyone goes to a meeting and stands below the stage.

What I heard from the leader was:
"We must exert great effort, grasp the key points firmly, and vigorously promote sustained and extended progress."

I perked up immediately!
After understanding Peanut's jungle pathing, Luo Ji knew how to play during the laning phase, and even Rookie nodded in understanding.

As long as Peanut inexplicably goes to the mid lane and makes an aggressive move when Blade of the Ruined King reaches level 3, Peanut will definitely be tricked into doing so.

I'll just lose a little money.

However, Luo Ji and Casa were able to gain an unimaginable advantage because of this.

Back online.

This one.

Luo Ji's rune setup was Undying, while the opponent's Doran's was Conqueror. Both sides used Teleport and Flash, not the Teleport and Ignite build that was popular in the playoffs.

It's actually possible.

But Dolan clearly chickened out.

Many readers who don't watch games much but have heard of Dolana don't have a comprehensive understanding of him, which can be understood in this way.

Dolan, that guy.

He's like a hero with a base damage reduction of 50% and a critical hit rate reduced to half. If you build him as a damage dealer and let him carry, the expected damage is very low. But if you play him as a tank, relying solely on base damage and scaling, he's a better fit for his role.

But he wanted to prove he could play center, just like 369, and the more he tried to prove it, the more mistakes he made.

One level.

Luo Ji went straight up to pull the lane, letting the minions hit him first, triggering his Undying ability.

Open W, break the skeleton.

Relying on the slow effect of W, and the passive effect of having bones on him, he directly chased after the enemy, traded blows, and auto-attacked until he got Undying.

There's not much to say about the initial blood exchange.

The point is.

Several seconds later.

Luo Ji is passively continuing this behavior even after the skeleton is gone.

Dolan couldn't stand it anymore.

How come you, Camille, who didn't even learn Q at level 1, are beating me like this?
He immediately followed after them.

The crocodile's attack speed is faster than Camille's.

If you can deal damage before Camille finishes her passive attack, and then pull back, and Camille chases after you at this point, the shield will be almost over by the time she attacks a second time, making it easy for Renekton to follow up with AQA, resulting in a loss in the trade.

Or to put it more bluntly.

You can't be a coward when playing with crocodiles.

The simplest formula for Crocodile to defeat Camille is to first break the skeleton, then relentlessly trade blows with Camille; Camille will inevitably be unable to withstand it.

but.
His blood transfusion went too smoothly.

Having been haunted by the experience of being completely dominated by Yone in the first game, the fact that he played so smoothly in the early laning phase of the second game was a stark contrast to his performance in the first game, and even felt somewhat disjointed.

No! Absolutely not!
Dolan's mind started racing.

Everything seemed normal, but his intuition told him that something was wrong. He wouldn't look down on Luo Ji just because he was an eighteen-year-old young man.

In his eyes, Luo Ji had long been a monster.

It's similar to Steam's human verification system.

It won't question why you've lived so long, but it will question whether you're actually a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex.

at the same time.

At the moment when Peanut was promoted to level 3, Rookie suddenly and inexplicably started yelling at Chovy.

The opportunity might not have been great, and such a personnel change might even have been a loss, but Rookie did it anyway, which made Chovy subconsciously start to make connections.

at the same time.

GEGN's top and mid laners simultaneously called for help from their jungler.

Chaowei: "Mid lane needs help."

Dolan: "Me too."

Chaowei: "I feel like the enemy mid laner is playing a bit strangely, like a jungler is coming."

Dolan: "Me too."

Chao Wei: "If you come, I even feel like I have a chance to send the other team home if they continue to play like this."

Dolan: "Me too."

Little Peanut: "???"

No.

When did you two start wearing the same pair of pants?

Although he was a little confused about what was going on with his own top lane, Peanut didn't hesitate at all when faced with the choice between helping the mid lane or the top lane, and went straight to the mid lane.

on the contrary.

Karsa's Centaur immediately accelerated towards the top lane after successfully reaching level three.

[Ingenious Strategy]: Using a feint to the east while striking in the west, the enemy was captured in one fell swoop.

Competition is a form of warfare.

War is about exploiting information asymmetry.

Peanut's opening strategy has been almost completely figured out by V5, and the problems that are currently emerging in the mid and top lanes are precisely the flaws that V5 deliberately showed.

Now that it's time...

Dolan finally realized that something was wrong.

Normally.

He has the right to play Renekton against Camille.

If the jungler clearly doesn't want to help him in the first wave of the game, his best course of action is to quickly push the first few waves of minions and then return to base to upgrade his equipment.

but.
Camille got him hooked.

He deliberately sought out his blood to exchange, using his innate biscuits and his own health potions to forcibly maintain his own health.

His repeated provocations pulled him away from the minion wave, preventing him from using his Q skill to quickly clear minions.

And the purpose.

Naturally, this puts him in a dilemma, just like he is now.

The line can't be pushed in so quickly.

If they stay here, their jungler will be appearing in the mid lane soon, and their position makes them particularly vulnerable to ganks.

To retreat or to continue?
When the simplest and most direct temptation was placed before Dolan, he suddenly realized that he was not as he had imagined.
Muslim.

Faced with temptation.

He won't say "No," but "Go"; when faced with potential danger, he'll make excuses for himself instead of decisively turning back and giving up.

Worldly desires did not break him, but direct and straightforward interests thoroughly understood him.

this moment.

He was even betting on the tiny possibility that Casarte wouldn't be in the top half of the draw.

Just give him ten more seconds!
Just ten seconds!

He can push the lane, then return to base, and immediately come out with a huge advantage in both equipment and stats, completely washing away the humiliation of the previous game!

Anyone who plays top lane knows that feeling.

Or to put it more bluntly, it's like TheShy's playstyle in the top lane—did he not know that the enemy jungler might come?
No.

He knows.

But to let him give up like this is worse than just letting him die!
"The fish is hooked."

Seeing the crocodile hesitate yet struggle desperately, both Casa and Luo Ji smiled.

"Then, let's get started."

"Kasa said in a cold voice."

Hecarim doesn't take Flash as his Summoner Spell; instead, he takes Smite and Ghost. Because Ghost has a long duration and a short cooldown, and movement speed is closely related to Hecarim's damage, Hecarim likes to gank side lanes.

Because it's long enough.

So long that even if you go to gank and get spotted by the enemy's ward, they won't have time to react and escape the chase.

The moment the defender positioned in the river saw Karsa's Centaur, Doran, who was about to last-hit a minion in the top lane, was forced to stop all his actions.

The worst thing happened.

The enemy jungler is here.

Not only that, but Luo Ji also deliberately spread out their minion wave.

Even if he risked his life, he couldn't push the minion wave into the enemy tower before the enemy top and jungle duo killed him.

hateful!

The speed at which the people and horses arrived was incredibly fast!

This scene.

It was destined to happen from the moment he committed greed, one of the seven deadly sins.

Sprint, activated.

E skill, Devastating Charge, activated.
