My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 277 A Familiar Encounter: The Swallows Return

After the match,

Luo Ji finally realized that he had overlooked the existence of the vast number of players at the grassroots level.

True.

The entire region was delighted to see T1 defeated.

But the game LOL is mostly played by a group of people who don't watch the matches but play the game in silence. In this BO5 series, the strategies in the first two games were okay.

The great inventor of ice?

trivial.

Double AD bot lane?

They've ruined the bronze and silver stuff.

But you're playing support rat?

This thing caused a huge uproar among players of all skill levels in the gaming community in the previous life, because one person's happiness caused nine others to suffer, purely affecting other people's gaming experience.

Originally, everyone was happily playing ranked games because they heard that LPL had won the match, but after this thing came out, a lot of players went straight to red-level status while playing.

Upon further investigation, the source was found to be V5.

Continue searching, Luo Ji.

In-depth search.

Good heavens, the founder of jungle Xiao Yan and top lane roaming Janna?
Multiple offenses, punish them all! Give them a good scolding!

See this.

Luo Ji stopped complaining and even reacted extremely quickly by turning off all private messages and notifications on all his public chat software, putting on a show of feigning death to the fullest extent.

When those netizens who were scammed by Hongwen came looking for them online.

Comment area.

The mute function has already been successfully set up.

[Such a quick coward!]

[Hilarious! They beat T1, but were attacked by the entire internet. This is the first time I've ever experienced this.]

Regarding his performance, he undoubtedly put in a lot of effort to defeat T1; however, in terms of gameplay experience, he was truly a complete novice.

[I can understand why T1 collapsed in the last game. They played Twitch in four out of five games, and the enemy Twitch was roaming and pushing all three lanes, while our Twitch was just wandering around aimlessly. They lost their composure.]

At the same time, LPL viewers were both laughing and cursing.

The other half of the zone.

The match between DK and DRX has also started successfully.

This time.

The V5 team decided not to stay at the hotel to watch the game, but instead packed their bags and immediately moved to a hotel in San Francisco to get used to the computers there.

of course.

I still watch the competition on my phone.

In this best-of-five series, the outcome was still as he expected.

DRX, the former S12 champions, successfully defeated their opponent DK, while DK's mid and jungle players, Xu Xiu and Canyon, delivered an extremely impressive performance in this BO5 series.

seriously.

If DK had a better bot lane duo, they might have actually made it to the finals.

Alas, there are no "what ifs".

Despite a disastrous performance in the bottom lane, a hard-fought game in the mid and jungle, and a completely invisible game in the top lane, DK, who played all five games, ultimately lost to DRX.

So far
The S12 World Championship finals became the most legendary World Championship.

On one side is the final hurdle of the Road to Gold, and on the other is the first-ever fourth seed to advance to the final. This alone has completely ignited the excitement of the competition.

"DRX."

In the car.

The group looked at the results of the competition, and then all turned their attention to Luo Ji.

That's right.

He guessed the outcome of the match again.

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Ji had a clean record personally verified by Saint Gun, Rookie and the others would have suspected that this kid had secretly gone to some mountain to become a Taoist priest, since his predictions were always ridiculously accurate.

"Tell me the truth, did you really study magic?" Kasa grabbed Luo Ji's neck and threatened.

"No." Luo Ji shook his head violently. "I've said it so many times, the reason I can predict so accurately is entirely because I'm a time traveler from the future."

"Are you cosplaying as Future Warrior Jess here, calling yourself a time traveler? Do you think I've never read a rebirth novel? If you were really reborn, you would have already become rich with the Twin Horses, not become a lousy gamer like us?" Kasa's face clearly showed disbelief.

"I'm dressed too late, so I don't dare sit on the ones that bring in money quickly, and the ones that bring in money slowly are really slow. You wouldn't believe me if I told you, so I'll admit it. I have studied magic, okay?"

"That's it!"

Seeing the expressions on his teammates' faces, Luo Ji was speechless.

The opponent in the final.

Although it was the champion DRX in the previous life.

But in Luo Ji's eyes, the DRX at this time was not as intimidating as the T1.

Because of the [Future Guardian], Luo Ji understands this version of S12 even better than Genshin Impact, so there is no possibility that he will be outmaneuvered by the opponent in terms of general strategy.

Even that Sword Demon descending to earth to get a skin?

He was prepared to have the coach keep Aatrox banned for the entire best-of-five series, and even if he didn't ban him, the blue side had to pick him first.

Anyone who plays games understands.

I could tolerate being bullied by you in my first playthrough, but am I going to be bullied by you again in my second playthrough? Does that mean I wasted my second playthrough?
Moreover.

The experience pack from T1 was consumed by V5 in this game.

Originally, when Xiao Yan fought Deft, it was a case of youth prevailing over strength; Xiao Yan's wild punches could easily overwhelm the elderly Deft.

I've now consumed a T1 experience pack.

Then there's no need to worry about the bottom lane getting destroyed; just keep an eye on the bottom lane priority.

As for Bard?

Hey, they actually prepared something to deal with this thing.

"Let's put it this way."

Nofe clapped his hands, drawing the attention of everyone in the car.

"The match between DRX and DK was quite telling. Although Zeka and BeryL performed brilliantly, their game also exposed a lot of things that shouldn't have been exposed."

"For example."

"We can use the 'old man' tactic to crush the opponent!"

What is the lineup of DRX in S12?
Kingen, who has risen to godhood as a top laner, is a T0 top laner without Aatrox, but a T1 gatekeeper without him. Pyosik, the jungler who lost all the dragons in the original World Championship game but secured the crucial Elder Dragon, perfectly embodied the spirit of saving the team from dire straits, but don't ask why the team was in dire straits.

BLG San's mid laner is Zeka, whose Akali is played with unparalleled skill.

bot lane: Samsung's Deft and BeryL's meditation training.

This lineup.

The most noteworthy champions are the mid and support, the most important ones to watch out for are Akali and Kindred, the most important champion to ban is Aatrox, and the simplest way to win is to use the "old man" that Nofe mentioned, which will completely wear down Deft's competitive form.

The principle is also very simple.

Both involve elderly men.

The damage output of an AD carry is definitely higher than that of other positions. T1 might be polite to you and take DRX's tricks, but V5 won't tolerate that.

at the same time.

The DRX players, who had just won the game, immediately began packing their things to move.

Win the game.

For them, it was naturally a happy time.

This means they are one step closer to their dreams. Of course, for one Genshin Impact player in the team, he was simply experiencing the belief that "success is always a part of life."

He won; he's a double champion.

He lost, but his resume is almost perfect.

Rather than saying he's fulfilling his own dream, it's more accurate to say that he's trying to fulfill someone else's dream, much like a tokusatsu drama.

just
After the excitement of winning the game faded, what followed was the epic best-of-five series between T1 and V5 the day before.

Even though there are only four.

But after just these four games, all the teams gained a deep understanding of the game version in Season 12.

Can they really defeat such an opponent?

“BeryL”.

After hesitating for a moment, Deft, who was packing his things, suddenly asked his support:

"What will be the outcome of our best-of-five series against V5 in the finals?"

"It will be a one-sided massacre."

"???"

Deft stared in disbelief at the support in front of him, watching him speak with a blank, expressionless face, as if announcing an ending without any side quests.

BeryL simply glanced at him calmly and said:

"If even the team's pillar of strength, which is you, lacks confidence in yourself and in us, then the so-called competition was already over from the very beginning."

in the room.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

They all knew how terrifying V5 was; their understanding of the game was so profound that even BeryL himself felt he learned something from watching them.

But if you delve deeper, you'll find that...

Since the opposing team has such an exaggerated understanding of the current version, will their hero pool and tactical system be completely blocked in the finals?
The answer is: yes.

He couldn't deny the possibility.

But the exciting part of the competition is that no one knows who the final winner will be until it actually begins.

"This team, including Kingen, Pyosik, Zeka, and even me, was brought together because of you. We made a promise to help you win the S-series championship, and we will do our best to achieve that."

"But I hope this test will be the last."

"I can accept your lack of confidence, but the others in the team may not be able to. The opposing team's country seems to have said something similar, which means that when everyone is in complete agreement on the war, the person who is the soul of the team must follow the crowd to be correct."

The original sentence appears to be:

"We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Highness surrender first?"

There will be a six-day transition period between the semi-finals and the finals.

At this stage, neither V5 nor DRX has any teams left to practice against. They can't just play against each other, can they?
Therefore, it can only be RANK.

It was as if the competitive spirit had been ignited.

Soon, the OB team, skilled at transforming into mice in the gutter, discovered that the two teams seemed to have started an arms race.

I just checked the record here and found that I reached 3 points, and then I immediately reached 4 points.

Legend has it that Beryl had a sudden inspiration in the middle of the night and the whole team got up at 4 a.m. for a meeting, while V5 reportedly spent the whole night studying DRX's lineup.

And then immediately followed up with a tweet titled "Have you ever seen San Francisco at 6 a.m.?"

The public opinion outside the venue exploded.

Viewers from both regions were amused, especially those from the LPL. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, it at least proved that V5 did not underestimate their opponent after defeating T1.

But the same thing.

They were also curious about what was driving them to work so hard and give their all in a team that had only been together for less than a year.

until
One evening, a simple vlog was suddenly released on V5's official Weibo account.

The scene depicts an extremely empty competition venue, with golden rain falling gently. However, due to the lifeless atmosphere, the V5 team members who won the championship appear somewhat lonely.

This is?

Video of the day we won the Demacia Cup?
Many viewers recognized the time of this scene, but why is the video from back then only being released now?
Their story continues.

"What a pity! It would be great if there were an audience today."

In the video.

Xiao Yan's sigh was clearly audible.

A slightly awkward smile, as if unsure how to reassure them, flashed across Casa and Rookie's faces.

For a team that won its first championship after restructuring.

Even just winning the Demacia Cup was incredibly valuable to V5 at the time.

however.

Right at this moment.

The camera focused on Luo Ji.

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, he ran towards the center of the stage, then turned his back to the empty audience seats and looked at his teammates.

Shout loudly:
"All we have to do is win, right?"

"We still have four more chances to win the championship in the next year."

"If the German Cup doesn't work, there's the Spring Finals. If the Spring Finals doesn't work, there's the MSI. If the MSI doesn't work, there's the Summer Finals. If the Summer Finals doesn't work, there's the World Championship."

"I believe it."

"One day, we will definitely... fill this auditorium to capacity!"
