My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 272 One of the Three Major Cancers—The Legend of the Plague

In the fourth game, T1's draft strategy was completely outmaneuvered by V5.

at this point.

Everyone, both inside and outside the arena, could see it.

T1 had no choice. They thought their understanding was unmatched, but who could have imagined there were still experts out there?

soon.

A round of ban:

V5: Varus, Lenata, Policewoman

T1: Ice, Great Inventor, Cat

obviously.

Both sides unanimously focused their draft picks on lane priority in the bottom lane.

T1 has suffered three consecutive defeats. In the third game, if it weren't for their two carries suddenly bursting out, they would have been completely dominated.

A round of PICK:

V5: Sejuani, Azir, Bomber
T1: Miss Fortune, Maokai, Lux
In order to seize control of the bottom lane and to deal with V5's two AD carries, they not only targeted them in various ways during the ban phase, but also ignored Luna, Kalista, and Soraka, and insisted on picking Miss Fortune and Lux ​​instead.

In theory.

The marksman/support combo can be countered by a tanky support, but the problem is that they simply don't understand why V5 ​​picked Ziggs as their third pick. Bengi racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what they were thinking.

The only possibility is to seize the route.

no way.

We can only continue with the draft based on the idea of ​​competing with the enemy bot lane for lane priority.

In theory.

Currently, there is no bot lane duo that can outpace Miss Fortune and Lux ​​in lane. Even if the enemy picks Ziggs, their wave clear is not as dominant as the Ashe and Caitlyn combo in the second game.

Second round of bans:

Weapon, Sylas, Rakan, Aatrox

This weapon ban made Bengi subconsciously feel that he had figured out V5's strategy.
Same as the second one!
This must still be the bot lane aggressive lane-pushing strategy!

Think of this.

T1 picked AKL as their fourth pick.

A counter position was reserved for Zeus, who was the last to play.

to here.

V5 is quite certain that T1 has completely fallen into their trap.

Actually.

Once the opposing team has picked their first four champions, it doesn't matter what counter top laner they pick in their last pick.

because
V5's last two moves were Mouse and Gwent.

See this.

T1 added Fiora as their final addition.

So far:

V5: Top lane Gwent, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Azir, Bot lane Ziggs + Twitch
T1: Top lane Fiora, Jungle Maokai, Mid lane Akali, Bot lane Miss Fortune + Lux

With this lineup.

Bengi couldn't imagine what kind of synergy the Bomber and the Rat could have.

And V5 here.

The contestants instinctively looked at Luo Ji, and seeing the sunny, boyish smile on his face, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Others don't know.

But as firsthand witnesses to this scheme, they know exactly how monstrous it is.

How outrageous.

It's even comparable to the top lane roaming Janna and the jungle one-shot Xiao Yan of yesteryear.

In this regard.

Luo Ji, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm.

He found that he was gradually coming to understand those strategists from ancient times.

While cunning schemes may sound unethical, in the face of victory, all sorts of unscrupulous things can take a backseat.

Moreover.

The saying "it harms Heaven but not Wenhe, it damages Yin virtue but not Zhongde" is already very clear in the examples.

This is something PPGOD does, not him. If his reputation is ruined, it will be PPGOD's reputation that gets ruined.

presumably.

With the promise of an S-series championship, he would probably be happy to take the blame.

in other words.

If he still can't beat T1 even after unleashing such a powerful weapon, then it's okay; it's the first time he's encountered this kind of tactic.

From Luo Ji's perspective in his previous life.

Few players can maintain their composure. If T1 players lose their touch and composure, they'll be easily crushed in the fifth game.

This is—the most unsolvable open conspiracy!

at the same time.

Off the field, countless commentators and viewers were baffled by V5's lineup, unable to understand how to play it.

Did you choose the wrong option?

[Double AD is indeed strong, but are you sure Ziggs + Twitch can push the lane against Miss Fortune + Lux?]

[This is probably paving the way for a double AD setup, since weapons are banned.]

[Really? But something just doesn't feel right to me.]

DRX Lounge

The group of people all turned their gazes toward BeryL, the support player. This convergence of gazes made him subconsciously feel a little uncomfortable.

"No, why are you looking at me?"

"We're waiting for your explanation!"

Deft answered naturally, and his teammates nodded in agreement.

This appearance.

This left BeryL completely speechless.

"No, do you guys think I'm a League of Legends encyclopedia? I'm wondering what V5 is going to rely on to win with this lineup. I've told you before, there's a player on V5 whose understanding of the current meta is no less than mine, or even better. I don't understand this game either."

"what?"

BeryL's response surprised everyone at DRX.

V5 won the first two games, and although they used a variety of strategies, BeryL could keep up with the core concepts of those strategies. Now, even things that he can't keep up with are emerging.

That means
V5.

In terms of version development, we are far ahead of them.

The game begins.

Both sides were using normal builds and positioning, which was so normal that it puzzled the commentators. "Brother Guan, you have a deep understanding of the game, can you figure out what kind of strategy V5 is using?" Remember, after thinking for a long time without an answer, asked Guan Zeyuan, who was standing next to him.

"How would I know, brother?" The colonel shook his head, then looked at Miller: "Where's Professor Miller?"

"I'm not really good at it either," Miller said, equally bewildered.

Seeing that neither side could understand the situation, the colonel subconsciously joked:
"This strategy can't just be about Twitch endlessly ganking mid, right? Normally, we should prioritize bot lane priority. Could it be that Twitch has one of the highest health points in the entire league at level one, making it easier for him to push lanes?"

however.

It's better if he doesn't speak.

Open your mouth.

To the audience's astonishment, as the minion wave rolled, PPGOD's Twitch didn't follow the AD carry to the bottom lane, but instead hesitated near the mid lane.

Even Xiao Yan, who plays AD position.

At level one, he also chose to stand next to the red buff, seemingly preparing to help Karsa start his jungle clear at level one.

【? ? ? 】

【Seriously, is this still an S-series tournament? A level 1 Twitch is ganking mid, and the AD is helping the jungler clear camps. Am I in ranked?】

I don't understand it at all.

What on earth is V5 doing this game? Playing like this, won't their bot lane be able to compete for level 2 with the enemy in the early game?

now.

The audience outside the venue were buzzing with discussion.

However, the V5 team inside the arena didn't seem to notice him at all, and even if they did, they wouldn't take him seriously.

I've been a professional player for so many years.

The thing they learned most clearly is that when faced with doubt, one should not break down, give up, complain, or fail to improve.

In short.

Their results will speak for themselves.

If you don't achieve results, then you deserve to be criticized.

soon.

As the two minion waves converged, Faker, who had fully focused his energy, took a deep breath and cautiously approached the minion wave while keeping an eye on the distance to Azir.

Long hands beat short hands.

At level one, there's no way around it; if you want to last-hit minions, you'll inevitably lose health to the enemy. What you need to do is minimize the frequency of losing health in the early game.

Let's just assume that's what he was thinking.

ear.

But then a familiar voice suddenly rang out:

"Diudiudiu~"

and many more!

That sound!?
Faker's eyes widened in disbelief, but by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.

Q【Ambush】

Once the rat emerges from stealth, it gains 45% attack speed, and combined with the Conqueror rune from its talent, it can kill in a single encounter.

Caught completely off guard, Faker was immediately hit by PPGOD's three-hit combo of basic attacks upon meeting him.

“Biu~Biu~Biu~”

The rat's base attack power is not high. A rat with support items will only deal a few dozen damage with a single basic attack. However, three basic attacks combined with the passive's continuous damage can deal at least a hundred damage.

That is, one-fifth of the blood.

"mouse!?"

The sudden appearance of the rat caused Faker to instinctively cry out in surprise and quickly retreat.

Meanwhile, Lu Bu and Keria, who had received the news in the bottom lane, immediately pushed forward to force the AD out of the experience zone.

结果
After they pushed forward, they were shocked to discover that the Bomber had just come out of the jungle and hadn't been on the lane at all.

Little Lu Bu:?

Keria: ?
"this?"

"Do they really play this wildly in level one?"

"Giving up bot lane priority just to annoy Faker at level one?"

I don't understand T1.

I couldn't understand the explanation either.

The audience understands it even less.

PPGOD couldn't help but burst out laughing. The strategy was a bit underhanded, but you only know how fun it is when you've tried it. It's a strategy that only the support player can enjoy.

After completing the three-ring combo and stacking all three passive effects of the support item.

PPGOD walked towards the bottom lane right in front of Faker, looking like he was going back to the bottom lane.

just.

From God's perspective, everyone saw that when PPGOD's rat walked into the bushes connecting the middle lane to the bottom river, he did not continue forward.

Instead, he remained crouched in the bushes.

"what?"

The colonel instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't PPGOD going back to the bottom lane? There's no need for that. He can't even kill Faker's Akali at level one. Is the bottom lane going to die?" Miller was also stunned.

On the side.

I remember being so scared that I didn't dare to say a word.

Is this V5's secret weapon? Or have V5 already given up entirely? Or perhaps something happened in the locker room during halftime that they are unaware of?
They were unaware of these things.

of course.

Faker didn't know either.

After seeing the rat walk into the bushes, he instinctively felt that the rat must have gone back to the bottom lane. Most people are law-abiding citizens, and before they see something new, they can't imagine how monstrous it might be.

He was the same, of course.

Based on V5's playstyle in the first three games, he felt that Twitch should always go back to the bottom lane to secure lane priority.

then
Seeing that the Tsar did not press forward while his health was low, he once again tentatively stepped out from under the tower.

result.

"It's me~ hahahahh~"

the second time.

PPGOD didn't even activate his Q skill's invisibility; he simply walked out of the bushes openly.

Relying on the long-range advantage, Akali chased Faker down with two basic attacks, breaking through Faker's defenses in the laning phase.

"Axiba!"

"Isn't this rat... this rat... completely out of line?"

"Why the hell is he still in the mid lane?!"
