My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 264 Pieces and Players

"It's unbelievable that it could go this far."

The situation on the field.

This moment truly surprised the audience.

This is a T1.
Despite T1's numerous setbacks in the league each year, they automatically activate all sorts of strange buffs once they reach the World Championship, propelling them into the ranks of the world's top teams.

They can briefly gain an advantage in all three lanes in the early stages.

That in itself already speaks volumes.

"That being said, the real challenge V5 needs to face is not the formulaic first four minutes, but whether they can maintain this momentum, which is their biggest problem."

Hearing Redmi's words, the contestants nodded in agreement.

As the loser.

They have already started buying tickets to return to China, but even so, they still want to see how V5 will defeat T1, the team that eliminated them.

soon.

T1 finally showed their true strength.

In the bottom lane, Keria started to exert his strength.

The Great Inventor is a hero that, if played skillfully, can easily suppress two heroes, Luna and another Luna, in the support role.

Of course, this doesn't mean he can 1v2, but rather that often, as long as the AD carry is farming minions, he can take advantage of the situation and suppress the opponent in various ways.

But therein lies the problem.

The inventor of PPGOD, whose skill level is visibly rather average.

This is reflected on the field.

In an attempt to wear down the opponent, they were nearly hit by Keria's bubbles twice in a row.

"Damn, they weren't this freakish at MSI. It's like they're a completely different team at Worlds," PPGOD muttered unconsciously.

"As I said in my dream, this T1 team will only show its true strength in the World Championship." Xiao Yan also took a deep breath.

Laning against T1's bot lane.

That chilling ability to seize opportunities even seems more formidable than GENG's.

But no way.

They have to withstand this pressure.

Moving back a bit might reduce the pressure, but it would also make it harder for them to suppress the enemy bot lane duo's health.

Luna is all about burst damage, while Sivir and Heimerdinger are all about sustain. The former can seize an opportunity to go all in, while the latter requires slow and steady pressure, like boiling a frog in water.

early stage.

Neither side's junglers found any particularly good opportunities.

Despite having the initial advantage in tracking Karsa's movements, Oner found himself completely terrified of Karsa once the fight began.

It seems that no matter what choices you make, you will eventually meet the other side on the path you want to take.

among them.

The two sides will most often meet in the middle lane.

In order to exploit Faker's weaknesses, Rookie repeatedly tried to pressure the lane and bait Faker. In terms of laning alone, even though Ryze is Faker's signature champion, he couldn't outplay Taliyah against the meta and was definitely being pressured.

But the same thing.

If Taliyah gets ganked by the jungler or support before level 6 after crossing the river, she will almost certainly have to use Flash.

I switched to Flash.

The mid-lane Taliyah was hesitant to cross the river.

Faker can get extremely good development space.

Karsa and Rookie were baiting the enemy jungler Vi to come over, but Oner and Faker played too conservatively in the first game. Although they were tempted to come over a few times, they held back and did not make a move.

"LPL teams are still going all out against Faker."

DRX Hotel Room.

Deft frowned. The game was almost at level six for both teams' top, mid, and jungle players, but there hadn't been a single kill yet.

This seemingly calm atmosphere, yet the impending storm, made him inexplicably nervous.

"Because T1 is waiting for V5 to make a mistake."

Beryl interlaced her fingers and calmly said:

"Both teams have a lot of faith in their side laners, thinking that as long as they can keep the enemy jungler occupied, they will be fine. This version is about lane control, and whichever side wants to win must shoulder the responsibility of attacking."

The voice just fell.

Bottom lane.

PPGOD was successfully bubbled up by Keria's water bubble during a misstep in his movement.

"broken!"

Xiao Yan's face darkened.

He tried to push forward to draw Luna's damage, but Little Lu Bu and Keria were extremely determined and completely ignored Sivir's coquettish poses.

hurt.

All of it landed on the great inventor.

They managed to force PPGOD to use Flash.

"mine."

PPGOD scratched his head in exasperation.

"We need to concentrate. Our opponents will only get stronger. Let's hold on a little longer."

"clear."

Without much criticism, they knew from the beginning that there was a talent gap between them and their opponents.

The original World Season 12's T1 bot lane was already incredibly overpowered, and the difference compared to MSI was so huge that it was like upgrading from a standard general to a god-tier general, evolving from a green caterpillar to Rayquaza, and upgrading from 486 to Firebird.

It's normal to lose.

That's why they need to concentrate even more.

T1 had clearly forced the opponent to use Flash, and it was thought that V5's bot lane would be exposed as a result.

But suddenly discovered.

V5's defense seems to be getting better and better; you can almost feel the fiery spirit emanating from the opposing bot lane duo, even through the screen.

"So complicated"

"No matter how hard a tortoise shell is, it's still just a tortoise shell. It will eventually be kicked apart."

Faced with V5's tight defense.

Little Lu Bu and Keria simply shook their heads dismissively.

However.
The lack of lane control in the early game forced T1 to give up the first Herald, while Oner took advantage of Karsa's opportunity to control the dragon.

He actually wanted to gank.

However, V5's half-zone rule for other lanes is too outrageous.

The game felt so bland.

[Both junglers are like they have superhuman abilities, following you everywhere you go, it's normal that no fights are happening.] [Did Karsa lock down Oner? Or did Oner lock down Karsa?]

[Without a doubt, this game was Karsa's comfort zone.]

Compared to the junglers of the three LCK teams, Karsa is a player with a relatively weak personality.

His philosophy of competition.

The key is to reduce mistakes rather than tear apart the defense, and to focus on defense rather than offense. This habit creates the advantage of the Karsa map control style, which comes with a built-in map-opening plugin, allowing you to play the game from a god's-eye view.

If it's an advantage, it can be the icing on the cake; if it's a disadvantage, it can quickly transform into a third-tier jungler.

They dared not take risks, and their operations became distorted.

What determines his upper and lower limits is his mastery of map information.

at the moment.

With V5 having lane priority on all three lanes, Oner had nowhere to hide in his eyes.

just
The fact that the bottom laner had been hit by Flash made him a little wary, but when he thought about what he was going to do later, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

As Luna's level gradually increased, Xiao Yan and PPGOD found it increasingly difficult to withstand the threat from T1, but then V5's group was sent home again.

The audience suddenly noticed.

situation.

It seems to have changed a bit.

"Wait, what's going on with V5's lane splitting?"

Under the colonel's slightly exaggerated shouts.

In the minimap.

V5's Sivir started heading towards the mid lane, while the mid laner Taliyah went to the bottom lane, and the support Heimerdinger and jungler Karsa went directly to the top lane.

Did they change routes ahead of time?
"wrong!"

"There's someone in the same industry!"

"There are fellow professionals in V5, everyone!!!"

When I saw V5 suddenly start switching lanes around the eleven-minute mark.

In the DRX lounge.

BeryL's eyes widened instantly, and he stared intently at the player's perspective in the bottom right corner.

Although everyone in V5 is communicating.

But he could still clearly see that the person he communicated with the most was Luo Ji, who was on the road.

A line-swapping tactic!

这个原世界S12DRX战胜T1的核心套路，同样也是S13跟S14各大赛区玩了整整两年的玩意，在这一刻终于被V5成功掏出。

Now that your Luna has leveled up, you can seize opportunities to kill people instantly, right?
Row.

I'll let you have the bot lane, and Sivir will push your Ryze lane aggressively in the mid lane, and she won't be afraid of your Ryze at all.

The wild support swam up.

Go straight to the road to protect your weapon and craft your first Mythic item.

You can take the bottom lane turret plating or not, it's up to you. My buddy is sacrificing the mid lane's development and the bottom turret plating in exchange for the safe development of both side lanes.

This lane swap completely baffled T1.

Hit the road.

Zeus looked at V5's top, jungle, and support players and trembled with fear.

Middle road.

Faker had no chance against Sivir.

Bottom lane?

There was absolutely no one in the bottom lane.

Taliyah wandered around the jungle before leisurely heading to the bottom lane to farm after disappearing from T1's bottom lane.

Your bot lane duo isn't going to lane against me anymore.

T1 definitely wouldn't accept that.

but
As T1's bot lane duo rotated to mid, Faker, who had moved from mid to bot, was always a step behind Rookie. By the time he reached the bot tower with Ryze, Rookie's Taliyah had already pushed the bot lane minion wave in.

Followed by.

They started moving towards the middle lane to apply pressure.

Playing like this.

They were originally supposed to be looking for weaknesses in V5's bot lane duo and fighting as T1's bot lane got their items.

For no apparent reason, we ended up operating in conjunction with V5, and we were even a huge step behind V5. The whole situation started to be dictated by us.

"Tian Ji's horse racing strategy?"

"No way, he's a top laner, he's both laning and calling the shots, is he some kind of Faker?"

TES was shocked, EDG was stunned, and JDG remained silent.

V5's strategy was simple: play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. But it was precisely this one move that made T1 on the screen visibly unable to withstand it.

Just as Li Shimin himself said:

“Every time I look at the enemy’s battle formation, I can tell their strengths and weaknesses at a glance. Then I use my weaker troops to attract the stronger enemy, and while they are pursuing, I use my elite troops to attack the enemy’s weaker troops, flanking and attacking them from both sides. There is no way the enemy will not be defeated.”

Li Erfeng is someone who relies on one skill to succeed.

No matter how many variations you employ, I will only use one move.

It relies on accurate judgment of the enemy's weaknesses and exquisite timing of the attack; it's all about talent and skill.

The same applies to Luo Ji.

The red team should make good use of their counter pick in the fifth move; using Jax against Camille is like a father beating his daughter.

The reason Camille was able to fight back in Season 12 was because of the tenacity talent. Later on, when the tenacity talent was gone, it was like an old man beating his granddaughter.

The entire laning phase.

Zeus thought he had a 50/50 fight against Camille and his weapon thanks to the countered Camille.

I don't know.

While Luo Ji was operating the team, he was also directing the team's operations on two fronts.

More than just chess pieces.

He is also a chess player.

Given that the enemy mid laner has just arrived at the bottom lane to farm, and our mid laner is supporting the top and mid lanes from the bottom lane to cause trouble, disregarding the top laners on both sides, the situation is at least 4/3 in the mid lane.

of course.

If the enemy Ryze is willing to use Teleport, it will only turn the mid lane matchup into a 4v4.

Pushing first, moving first, swimming first, and exchanging first bring absolute initiative.

Then it is
R [Stone Curtain]

Mid lane disconnected, territory expanded!
