My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 260 My Summer Has Ended at This Moment

"That really is an impressive record."

off the field.

The teams that still have a chance to compete in the World Championship are all looking at the screen with complicated expressions.

anyway.

GENG were both LCK's number one seed for the summer split, but the imagined clash between the two regions' number one seeds did not happen.

even.

This is more like a one-sided elimination of GEGN by V5.

The rest area after the second game.

The entire GENG club inevitably fell into a slump in morale. There are many teams in history that have come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2, but if you spread it out over each year, there aren't actually that many.

Not every team has the resilience to come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2.

At least.

GENG is currently feeling very lost.

Some glances were subtly directed at Chovy. As the absolute star player of their team, Ruler was silent because he was being targeted in the draft phase.

But what about you?

Why didn't you make any noise in your previous two matches?

They were complaining, frustrated, depressed, and struggling.

Failure is a bitter pill to swallow.

This not only affected the players in the competition, but also all the staff of GENG. Coach Score desperately hoped that Chovy could take the initiative to step up and boost morale.

He took over the important responsibility of being the core of the team.

How
Chovy disappointed him.

He didn't say or do anything; he just relaxed on his own. From KDA's perspective, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong.

It was at this time.

Ruler, the former senior member of the team, suddenly stood up, breaking the heavy and somber atmosphere in the room and clearly conveying his words to every player in the room.

"listen."

"Perhaps you are pessimistic right now, or you may think that we can't get over the obstacles in front of us, but we have come all this way, and we are not here to leave this stage in such an embarrassing way as to be eliminated by 0/3."

Even if we fail.

"We must also proudly demonstrate the resilience of GENG to outsiders, whether it's for everyone's future, to live up to the expectations of our fans, or for something else."

"Please remember this."

"We haven't lost yet!!!"

Ruler is a very proud player.

While he is proud, he is also low-key, pragmatic, dedicated, and reliable. No one can help but be moved by his initiative to speak out.

then.

The third one.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, despite being targeted to the extreme by the draft, Ruler in the third game still managed to forcefully break through V5's bot lane by letting Kalista go.

He seemed invincible in this round.

With unparalleled distance control, a surging and fierce offensive rhythm, and monster-like reflexes and evasions, he single-handedly managed to forcefully pull back a point.

Such an incredible state.

It even reminds people of JKL's Water 9 Wan Ze Li during the playoffs.

Wow, that's fierce!

[Rule is from 98, right? How can he still pull off such phenomenal plays at his age?]

[The bot lane carried the entire game, while the top lane was still laning, the bot lane was already completely wiped out.]

[After the match, only the relic remained on Ruler's chair.]

However.
Just when GENG and LCK fans were full of confidence, thinking that GENG had finally awakened.

Before his appearance in the fourth game.

Ruler, who was originally the elder brother, took the initiative to put his arm around Chovy's shoulder.

"Chovy."

"What's wrong, senior?"

"Although I'm still reluctant to leave, my summer has come to an end."

"."

After saying that, he patted his shoulder hard again.

this moment.

Everyone in GENG stared blankly at their elder brother. Just when he was so intimidating in the last round, he seemed to have seen through something this time, and his aura suddenly plummeted.

He was in pretty good condition, although his hands were shaking a bit.

But ambition.

It's not as good as it used to be.

The fourth one.

The red team's GENG unexpectedly ran into the vengeful V5.

The bot lane wasn't invincible in the third game.

In the fourth game, the game was very formulaic, with players being outmaneuvered, engaged in team fights, and interrupted. Even Doran was killed by Luo Ji in a very formulaic way.

When GENG's main crystal exploded, the score finally reached 3:1.

Lehends instinctively looked to his side.

Without the expected resentment or any apparent reluctance, Ruler simply watched the defeat unfold before him quietly, then slowly closed his eyes.

this moment.

Lehends didn't dare to wake his partner again. Although they hadn't had a serious conversation, he had a vague feeling about it.

Yourself.

It seems like I'm about to lose this older brother in front of me.

Ruler.

He also seemed to be enjoying his last moments on the field, which was also his last time as a GENG legend.

the other side.

The V5 members, who had successfully defeated GENG, couldn't contain their joy and began to congratulate each other.

When they looked at the opposing players' seats, they could almost feel the frustration and disappointment of the defeated side.

“We are one step closer to our original goal. If someone had told me about this future during the Demacia Cup, I would have thought that the person who proposed it was crazy.”

Kasa grinned, then wrapped his arms around both Luo Ji and Xiao Yan at the same time.

"It's heavy, bro."

"Exactly, although I can understand your old Deng's perverse pleasure in seeing young Deng suffer, we also put in a lot of effort today."

The two instinctively began to lightly elbow each other.

And aside.

Rookie and PPGOD scratched their heads in slight embarrassment.

Thankfully, there was no handshake segment at this year's World Championships; otherwise, with their mental effort, they would definitely have been urged and warned by the staff.

now.

In the LPL live stream, the three commentators started shouting without any restraint.

Congratulations on your V5!

"As the LPL region's number one seed, V5 is also the first team to secure a spot in the semifinals of this World Championship. They are about to head to Toronto, Canada. There, they await their next opponent."

Even the number one seed has a gap!

[Round of 16 on the left, quarterfinals on the right, we won with the number one seed, but we lost with the gold mid laner (crying)]

Ruler did his best. Now, his most important task is to throw Chovy, chair and all, out of the GENG club after the match.

Let me put it this way: if Dolan doesn't come to V5's victory celebration tonight, no one in V5 will dare to touch their food.

The entire best-of-five series.

The most amazing thing, besides Xiao Yan holding off Ruler, was Luo Ji single-handedly defeating Dolan. If it weren't for the third Ruler Emperor suddenly going into overdrive, Xiao Yan's performance might have been even more amazing.

“V5 has a monster.”

T1 Lounge

Bengi crossed his arms and shook his head. As the saying goes, mastering one skill requires talent, while mastering all nine requires hard work. For most professional players, it's better to focus on mastering all nine.

But a true genius: the Nine Gates Master
Without a doubt, Luo Ji is such a person.

however,
The moment he said those words.

Bengi suddenly felt an overwhelming fighting spirit being released in the room, and he looked in the direction of that aura.

In the corner, all I could see was...

Zeus, staring at the screen, had an unusually fiery and eager look in his eyes.

The MSI a few months ago.

He still says he can't forget it; it was the first time he lost head-on to a player his closest to his age, like the two sides of a genius.

"Relax, Yuqi."

Faker's arm was pressed tightly against his shoulder, his eyes calm and still, and he didn't even use much force.

But it was this very action and glance that gradually calmed Zeus down.

"I"

"No need to explain."

Faker shook his head.

"I'm so happy that you've met your nemesis, really, I'm so happy."

"But you have to admit that we need to defeat an LPL opponent before we can face them."

"JDG".

"It is said that their top laner, 369, has also undergone a transformation this year and may become a formidable opponent no less than Mebius."

however.

This short paragraph has successfully stirred up a huge controversy.

Zeus, who had calmed down just a second ago, suddenly erupted with unimaginable ferocity in the next second.

Even Bengi was secretly amazed.

Good guy.

I thought you, Lee Sang-hyeok, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were the one who went to give advice, but it turns out I was wrong about you. You were actually the one who added fuel to the fire.

"Not inferior to Mebius?"

"Correct."

"what do you want me to do?"

"I need you to defeat him."

"Do not."

Zeus shook his head violently.

When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with coldness.

It wasn't the kind of cold that comes from losing body temperature, but rather a feeling of emptiness throughout the body, where even the eyes seemed devoid of emotion.

"I will tear him to pieces."

The T1 players standing nearby had their eyes light up when they saw this.

Only they themselves know.

This seemingly shy top laner actually possesses a terrifying hidden talent, but unlocking his full potential is extremely difficult.

at the moment.

The only thing that could stir his emotions was V5's young top laner.

Faker found Zeus's user manual.

Bengi watched this scene without intending to do anything. He didn't need to know the reason; he only needed to know that Zeus would definitely go all out in the upcoming match.

That's enough.

After the game.

The person being interviewed is Xiao Yan from V5.

In fact, the Chinese channel would have preferred to interview Luo Ji, but after looking at the schedule, given V5's strength, they might achieve far more than they have so far, so they couldn't play their trump card too early.

So Xiao Yan stood shakily on the Chinese radio station's interview platform.

Luo Ji, on the other hand, came to the English channel.

Although it's in English.

Most LPL players appear quite reserved when facing world-class interviews, except for a few veterans like Bitden who have played professionally for many years; he is no exception to this rule.

After all, this was my first time participating in an interview for the quarterfinals of the World Championship.

Fortunately.

The previous questions were all very formulaic, simply answering questions about the competition itself.

and.

Luo Ji has already asked for a translator.

The idea was that when he was doing Chinese-English translation, he could help polish the wording to make it sound more sophisticated. The translator gestured that he had no problem with it.

The previous translations were all correct.

until
"So, Mebius players, you have now successfully advanced to the semifinals and will face off in the semifinals next week. So, what are your expectations for the semifinals?"

"The semi-finals."

Luo Ji thought hard for a while.

For a moment, he couldn't think of anything that would make him sound impressive, but after glancing at the host and translator beside him, he cautiously began:

“I’m sorry.”

"Our goal from the beginning has been to win the championship, so no matter who our opponent is in the semifinals, we will be fearless and do our best to defeat them."

"Furthermore, we are quite confident in our own strength."

Listening to Luo Ji rattle off a long string of words.

The English host looked at the English translator with curiosity, already having a rough idea of ​​what to say. Based on past experience, it would probably be a formulaic answer like "I value everything" and "I will do my best."

The very next moment she was thinking this.

The translator thought for a moment.

mouth.

But then, one sentence in English began to slip out:

Translation: "We are invincible!"

Host: "Really?"

Translation: "No matter who stands in front of us, we are invincible!"

English channel viewer: "Wooooooo~"
