My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 273 You've defeated the numerical monsters, but what about the mechanic-based monsters?

Mouse assistant.

Throughout the late stages of Season 12 and Season 13, it was arguably one of the dirtiest strategies, as disgusting as the top lane roaming Janna.

Even Xiao Yan from the Wild Zone seemed clear-headed in front of them, a pure example of the "1000 damage to the enemy, 800 damage to oneself" tactic.

This is how you play.

The core issue is that jungle income is low, blue support items are ridiculously expensive, and there are requirements for team composition. The enemy bot lane cannot be too strong, and your own AD carry must be a sacrifice pick with fast wave clear and the ability to kill on first sight.

which is:
In professional matches, this strategy only works the first time it's used.

Because the coach has a god-like perspective and can see the solution, but he can't tell the players on the field; and the players on the field don't know the solution, so they are forced to follow the rhythm of the mouse.

That is, there is no rhythm.

They dragged everyone directly into the realm of mental hospitals, and then went on a rampage, killing indiscriminately.

Peak moment.

IMP reached 1000 MMR in the Korean server with his support Twitch, boasting a 90% win rate in the Challenger tier. Even in high-elo games in Korea, this champion is everywhere, used to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

This is a classic T0 strategy.

Faker was clearly disgusted.

With two attacks, he practically destroyed the opponent's condition, leaving the enemy Tsar without a potion at the start of the game.

even.

When the rat disappears into the river again, he has to worry about whether the rat on the other side will return.

I'm about to develop Stockholm syndrome.

however.

The mouse's journey is not over yet.

This time, because Faker dared not leave the tower, and the minion wave was slowly pushed forward by Rookie, PPGOD only needed to pretend to walk towards the bottom river, but actually move slightly towards the mid-lane turret, and he could successfully disappear from the opponent's vision.

and.

We changed direction again and started heading uphill.

Until now.

The LPL commentators, players, and viewers have already caught on.

This.

It doesn't seem like they're just messing around.

This is a complete scam!

[Alright, alright, after the double AD strategy was unleashed in Bronze, is the support Twitch strategy in Iron going to become famous too?]

[V5 plays Twitch support, and I also play Twitch support. If V5 can beat T1, then I can also win the game. Basically, it's like I beat T1.]

[Spread the word: T1 has been defeated by LPL's Iron and Bronze players!]

Although I don't understand it, this mouse seems to be having so much fun. He doesn't have to worry about laning, and roaming is just pure enjoyment. I think I can learn something from watching this game!

Hit the road.

Gwen is at a disadvantage in the laning phase against Fiora.

Luo Ji even regained his passive ability as the Grass Child at level one, and didn't dare to go out and look at the minion wave at all.

Zeus was thrilled.

After being countered by the red team for three consecutive games, it's finally my turn to counter you. I'm going to give you a good beating in the laning phase.
In Zeus's eyes.

Although Gwent's health was still good in the early game, he was already destined to be molded into his shape. As for Faker's exclamation in the mid lane?
What does that have to do with me?

The top lane is far from the emperor's reach, so how could this rat possibly come to the top lane to annoy him?

AD (Adult Food) - No Spicy~
Just as he was thinking this, he inexplicably heard what sounded like rats coming from the sewer across the street, as if he were hallucinating.

Is it an illusion?

He subconsciously thought this, and then planned to take a look at the mini-map. But in that one glance, he was surprised to find that a green figure had appeared beside him without him noticing.

"I just hid! Hahaha! Uh... um..."

Q【Ambush】

D [Ignite]

at the same time.

Luo Ji immediately activated Sprint, and while keeping up with the mouse, he chased after the enemy Fiora and unleashed a barrage of auto-attacks.

early stage.

Fiora was pushing Gwen's lane, at least until the jungler arrived, which put Zeus in an extremely awkward position, as he had completely crossed the river.

You could say he wasn't prepared for the jungler.

We've taken precautions.

But a jungler normally arrives in about three minutes. How can someone like Twitch come up right after clearing the side lanes in the mid lane?

Zeus: “?”

Zeus: "Wait, is it reasonable for you to pick support in the top lane?"

A completely unexpected option.

Zeus's eyes widened instantly, and he instinctively used Flash.

But it didn't work.

The rat was already circling behind him, and even after using Flash, it still couldn't escape his attack range. Gwent, on the other hand, had Sprint and damage.

Such a long cord, and it was even lit.

There's no reason why you shouldn't die.

then.

A few seconds later.

V5_PPGOD killed T1_Zuse
First Blood!

With the success of the kill notification sounding, coupled with Luo Ji's proactive push of the minion wave, PPGOD's level broke through to level two after the successful gank.

The competition venue.

At this moment, an overwhelming cheer erupted!
too easy.

This strategy is so simple!

It's so simple that even any Bronze or Silver player, or even Iron, would think that if they replaced the rat with themselves, they could achieve the same results as PPGOD on the screen.

The only exception is a large number of solo queue AD players.

Right then, V5's poor Xiao Yan, the bomber, was secretly grieving.

Finished!

It's all over! Considering the popularity of top lane Janna and jungle Xiao Yan before, they can all imagine that for the next whole month, ranked games will definitely be filled with various support Twitch players stirring up a bloodbath.

I can't play AD for a while.

"I see."

"Did you take psychological tactics into account in the draft picks for the first three games?"

With her extraordinary understanding, BeryL has finally figured out V5's strategy.

While seemingly harassing T1's top and mid lanes, this Twitch was actually disrupting T1's operational rhythm. When Twitch abandoned the bottom lane and started a self-destructive playstyle...

Oner at this moment.

There is only one action.

That means coordinating with the bot lane duo to tower dive the enemy Ziggs.

in the screen.

Oner did indeed do that.

If you roam as support and I push the lane into the tower in a 2v1 situation in the bottom lane, I'm 100% going to come down and gank you. But when he arrives in the bottom lane...

But found out.

The enemy team's hero wasn't just randomly picked.

As mentioned before.

Version S12 is a version with a higher margin for error. While raising the health of all heroes, it also increased the damage of turrets, making tower diving extremely difficult at present.

And then, by sheer coincidence...

T1 learned from their mistakes in the first three games and picked the Miss Fortune and Lux ​​combo in order to gain lane control. The biggest problem with this combo is its unstable crowd control.

What kind of hero is the Bomber?
He's someone who can start throwing skills and bombs from a great distance, and his ability to withstand pressure is no less than Ezreal's. You jungler, come and gank me?
I don't even stay in my defensive towers.

As for throwing bombs from the furthest distance, unless Lux can hit me with her Q from a distance, what can you do to me?
Oner, of course, didn't believe in this nonsense.

He directly manipulated the tree to grab it, and after the tree successfully bound the bomb man, he further assisted Keria with his Flash, Q, and crowd control.

A few seconds later.

T1's Gumayusi killed V5's Photic.
This kind of forceful grab can indeed kill the bomber who is positioned extremely far back.

But Xiao Yan brought TP this time.

Early game respawn time is very fast. After respawning, buy a true sight ward, teleport to the second tower, place vision in the jungle, and continue to Q minions from the furthest distance.

You can use Lux's Flash Q to gank me once, can you refresh your Flash at lightning speed and then stun me a second time?
No way?
at the same time.

PPGOD's rat has once again appeared near the mid lane.

The mid lane push had just been pushed out, and Faker had barely recovered from his Stockholm syndrome when he looked up and saw the familiar Twitch figure appear again.

"Aha~biu, biu, biu."

Standard triple shot + poison barrel

Faker, who could have farmed a few more waves, was forced to recall with low health due to Twitch's gank.

Then return the TP.

Just a few minutes.

The top laner was killed, the mid laner was forced to teleport, and the jungler lost his rhythm.

What did V5 give up?
All they gave up was an AD carry who was no match for them, and a bot lane turret that they completely disregarded.

【genius! 】

[A thrilling 1v3 in the bot lane, the rat is scrambling everywhere, why am I having such a dream?]

This is so frustrating! Imagine you're in a winning position in the top lane, but then you get ganked and die once or twice, and your morale completely collapses. Either the jungler's farming rhythm is disrupted, and they get yelled at by their teammates for not ganking, or the mid laner is too afraid to farm, and the enemy mid laner is roaming like crazy, so they don't dare to push the lane or take down towers.

This ultimate move is way too powerful! I've never seen anything like it before. Who could withstand this?

Previously, V5 was perceived as having stat-heavy builds.

And today.

V5 gives the impression of having a strange mechanism.

You're playing a counter pick in the top lane? Gank! If we catch you, you won't have an advantage.

Are you on fire in mid lane? Keep ganking! Keep ganking until you tilt!
Are you channeling some kind of godlike Lu Bu in the bottom lane? I'll throw bombs from 300 miles away, you can go and lane against thin air!
LCK has never seen such a sinister tactic before.

In their competition zone.

Even the suicide Sion build is novel. If it weren't for the growing popularity of a certain streamer, Korean players wouldn't even be able to find any strategies to counter him in ranked matches.

now.

On the playing field.

Luo Ji looked at Zeus, who was clearly a hero counter but was so disgusted by the rat that he dared not come up to suppress him, and felt relaxed and powerful all over.

Rat support is essentially the Dark Forest theory in the Rift.

In the early stages, no one had enough money to buy true wards.

Without the support item, they can't roam. With insufficient vision, nobody knows if the suicide-style Twitch will visit their lane again.

Keria had considered going along on the trip.

But he is radiant.

To put it bluntly, if he were to encounter the enemy's Twitch in the jungle or river, and his Q misses, it would be questionable whether he could even escape.

then.

Luo Ji played extremely aggressively in the top lane.

The more radical the action, the more Zeus suspected that the rat was nearby. After all, Luo Ji's acting skills had been honed to perfection by a group of veterans over the past year.

However, when Gwen actually pushed the lane into the range of the top lane turret.

Zeus suddenly came to his senses.

wrong!

That's not right at all!
If the lane isn't allowed to go into the tower, Gwen will be freed up, meaning the enemy won't need their jungler and support to protect them and won't be able to distract the enemy jungler and support.

But he realized it too late.

When he finally realized that Luo Ji's move was a fraud, he understood that Luo Ji was just using someone else's power to deceive him.

Bottom lane.

V5's mid, jungle, and support trio have all started moving towards the Ziggs position.

And at the same time.

Oner was just about to overpower Xiao Yan's bomber again.

They are there.
Using a bomber to destroy a nest!?
