My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 281 As long as I react slowly enough, you can't fool me.

You can always trust the cutting-edge technology V5 has prepared!

I don't understand why DRX is hesitant to pick the Carleigh/Carle combination, even though it's been released.

[You expect Mr. Dai, a 26-year-old old man, to dominate V5's bot lane with Kalista in the third game of a best-of-five series? Youth has its advantages, you know?]

At this point, a certain older, "mentally ill" and champion AD player had something to say ( )

Outside the live broadcast room.

IMP couldn't hide the smile on his face at this moment.

He and Deft actually have a good relationship.

However, if you say in a live stream that he is not as good as Deft, he will become popular. The two have a relationship that is both rivalry and friendship.

It's just being carried into the current competition.

Even he thought that taking Kalista might only win him a lane, unless he was the one to fight Kalista.

"It's no use. V5's AD has evolved after playing against T1. This is a very short-lived buff, but they should be able to survive the World Championship."

"If I were in that position, I would definitely be fine. With BeryL's help, we could completely dominate V5's bot lane."

"Not as good as Deft? Kalista is my specialty!"

"This wave."

"Devolt is inferior to IMP!!!"

early stage.

Neither side deliberately caused trouble; they simply engaged in normal laning.

After his Bard was outmaneuvered by the enemy Blitzcrank, BeryL could only play a normal lane as a support in the early game, and then look for opportunities when he was ready.

The junglers for both sides.

They even started by farming the bottom half of the map.

The only place where a collision might occur is on the road.

The matchup between Fiora and Camille is undoubtedly full of clashes. Without Aatrox, Camille is one of only two top lane picks that he has performed reasonably well with in the World Championship.

but.
As soon as he faced off against Luo Ji's Sword Maiden, he realized that he had been too complacent.

In terms of distance control.

Even Zeus had to exclaim in alarm at the existence of this monster, something that an unknown top laner like him simply couldn't handle.

Fortunately, Kingen wasn't aiming to dominate the lane or even solo kill the opponent; he just wanted to keep the top lane from collapsing.

How
While pushing back the lane, looking at his large number of minions, he couldn't resist the urge to test the waters.

Q【Sky-Piercing Slash】

Q【Precise Etiquette】

Faced with Luo Ji's proactive Q to poke his weakness, he also used his Q skill to quickly maneuver Camille into the bush with the speed boost, while simultaneously using his W skill [Tactical Sweep].

Normally, you'd already be making a profit by this point.

But perhaps thinking about how many minions he had pushed back, Kingen had some inappropriate thoughts and chased after Fiora's position a few more times.

Just these few steps.

This immediately exposed his next weakness, which landed squarely on Fiora's face.

Of course, it was intentional.

As Kingen watched Fiora chase after him, he retreated into the bushes, disappearing from the enemy's sight the instant he entered the bushes.

E-wall kick!
They're exploiting the poor field of vision!
If you can stun the enemy Fiora by using vision advantage, then with the help of a large number of minion waves pushing back, you can even gain a significant health advantage in this wave.

but.
“Is this considered a challenge?”

W [Lawrence's Mind's Eye]

Parry!

Spell immunity!

Not only did he fail to knock out the Fiora, but he was instead stunned by Luo Ji's Fiora. This scene even made Luo Ji wonder if the opponent had gone mad.

You used grass to ambush someone in front of the Child of Grass?

joke.

When I play solo against TheShy, I've often used the bushes to try and get a counter-kill. How could he not know what I'm thinking?
Basic attack, repositioning and then basic attack again, Q to continue exploiting newly created openings.

Then, relying on the passive 20% speed boost, he effortlessly widened the distance between himself and Camille.

This time.

It's truly precise and elegant.
"I don't understand what makes Kingen so strong. Why would Meng say that in some ways he's even harder to beat than T1's top laner Zeus?"

lounge.

Kim Gong frowned.

Based on his years of professional experience, Kingen seems to be just okay, a T1 gatekeeper level player in the World Championship. So why is he so highly regarded?
"Perhaps it's because of the Sword Demon."

Nofe thought for a while and remembered that Luo Ji had told him to either ban Aatrox or pick it directly in almost every game.

"Some people are like this: they are a top-notch hero. As long as they get their signature hero, they are confident that they can beat even the strongest players. But once they lose their signature hero, they will appear relatively mediocre."

obviously.

Kingen is also such a player.

However, regarding the Sword Demon...
The top lane Aatrox in Season 12 was indeed a meta pick and a stat monster. In the past, T1 didn't ban him against DRX because they thought they had Yone to counter him and save a ban slot.

This idea.

It's actually the same as RNG not banning Galio in S7.

Nothing else, just pure stubbornness.

at the same time.

Middle road.

Upon discovering that the enemy bot lane, despite controlling the lane in the early game, hadn't dared to exert too much pressure due to the presence of Blitzcrank, Karsa immediately opted for a backstab.

Bottom lane? We'll talk about that later.

Mid lane, I'm fucking Lyra!

The instant Zeka's Azir crossed the river, Rookie's Lissandra unleashed her E skill, Ice Claw.

Looking at this sudden E skill.

Zeka reacted quickly and began to retreat, but he couldn't drift because his Q skill was still on cooldown.

He was about to hesitate.

Then I saw Karsa's Sejuani emerge from the bushes. Oh no.

Without any hesitation, Casarte immediately chose to open the arch.

The damage from the double Freyr synergy wasn't enough to kill the enemy Azir in the early game, but this sudden burst of damage did indeed take away a significant portion of Zeka's health.

Rookie took the health advantage.

The DRX team, already on the edge of a cliff, was on edge every single moment.

Normally.

When Tsar is pushing the lane, he needs the jungler to help him establish vision in one side of the river. However, in this game, Pyosik was thinking of protecting the bot lane first and then freeing up the bottom lane.

Suppression without protection inherently carries the risk of being ganked.

The only good news.

Perhaps the opponent's damage wasn't enough, so I didn't need to use Flash.

but.
V5's rhythm has always been continuous.

Without a health advantage, Tsar dared not push the minion wave across the river. Meanwhile, Rookie, who had successfully pushed the minion wave across the center of the river, began to roam with the jungler.

A little over four minutes.

Nakano ganks bottom, four-man gank on two!

"Such a fast pace."

"Moreover, Karsa timed this wave very well. His move to the bottom lane with Rookie coincided with the pushback of the bottom lane. In a normal bottom lane matchup, if PPGOD and others fail to hook any of DRX's bottom laners, DRX will be stuck there and annoyed them."

“But he came down with Rookie.”

"In fact, it's a disguised way of helping the bot lane duo clear the wave and go back to base."

Commentary seat.

Miller was completely excited.

Sure enough, the moment Zeka signaled Miss in the middle lane, BeryL's face turned ashen on the DRX bench.

Good news: Vi is still in the bot lane, so there aren't just two people in the bot lane this game.

Bad news: There are four on the other side.

He had already started urging Deft to retreat, but how could PPGOD, who had been waiting for this opportunity for so long, give it up?
Dash forward, then press Ctrl+3
The sudden raising of the hand caused the DRX bot lane duo, who were originally planning to retreat in a straight line, to instinctively stop and reposition, with Caitlyn even using her E skill.

then
It was discovered that it was a dud.

Seeing that he had successfully scared PPGOD, a grin spread across his face. He pressed the W skill's speed boost, charged forward again with the extra movement speed, and then pressed Ctrl+3.
This time.

The speed boost from W skill made the DRX bot lane duo even more convinced that this was a genuine hook.

Then, another "dud" was fired.

DRX bot lane duo:
The three commentators in the commentary booth:
The audience outside the live stream:
骚！
The Emperor of the Ring's skin is incredibly deceptive at this moment.

With the reaction speed of professional players, it is actually possible to observe whether the robot is using its left or right hand to hook while it is moving, or even to use a movement skill or flash to dodge after the claws have flown out.

The issue is.

The DRX bot lane duo didn't seem to be thinking of using Flash, and they also lost their mobility skills.

This leads to.

The PPGOD robot is like a thorn in my side.

Players may not be able to land accurate hooks, but they dare not gamble on PPGOD's inaccurate hooks, nor do they want to waste their flashes, so they are forced to react in this way.

at last.

next moment.

PPGOD used Flash to advance, and the Flash landing point was even directly in the bushes of the bottom lane. Although the bushes were closer to DRX's bottom lane turret, they actually deprived them of Blitzcrank's vision.

This time.

PPGOD did manage to activate Q, but seeing the suddenly appearing hook, Deft sighed and had no choice but to use Flash.

It's definitely too late to pay in time.

The female police officer's E skill is said to be a movement skill, but the actual movement is quite clumsy.

"Shh!"

Flash for flash!
Nakano's pressure, taking advantage of their reluctance to use Flash to retreat, and the three probing maneuvers of entering the bushes and hooking out.

This wave of attacks was swift and decisive.

Even Deft himself was convinced.

But this made BeryL's complexion even worse.

He even wished the robot on the other side would hook him instead, which is why he deliberately exposed more weaknesses when he was retreating, but PPGOD didn't believe him at all.

He always kept in mind what Luo Ji had told him before the competition: "If you find that driving BeryL has a good chance..."

Ignore him.

He's just selling his ass to scam people out of their skills.

And hook AD.

Although it was a bit more difficult, after forcing the opponent to use Flash, BeryL was essentially locked down in the bottom lane.

At least that was the case before the policewoman's second Flash healed.

【A stunning display of beauty!】

[What kind of Canyon version of Yu Ji? A total scam, huh?]

[2/0, V5's margin for error is too high; they can completely withstand the bot's tactics that tilt the opponent.]

[Let's hear from the robot expert: This hero uses a feint with the left hand and a real hook with the right. Of course, older players should just ignore it and dodge; even if you see it clearly, you won't be able to react in time.]

In other words, if I'm slow enough, you can't fool me?

Mentality!
To put it bluntly, this wave of robots was just performing tricks, but DRX's frightened actions completely show that their current state is not very good.

"Is the pressure really that high?"

"of course."

Bengi crossed his arms and commented without hesitation:
"For the LPL, V5's existence may be like a ray of light piercing the darkness in the promotional video, but for DRX, isn't V5 at this moment just a dark cloud covering the sky?"

"The star players are getting old, and those who have been restricted are being restricted."

"already."

"No one can step forward."
