My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 299 The Damn Understanding Between Men
a few days later.

The V5 team returned to the competition venue.

This time.

V5 is a bottle that almost everyone owns; it looks dark and you can't tell what liquid is inside.

"You guys really drink this all the time?"

Although Emperor Chi's Chinese is not yet fluent, Luo Ji and others can still clearly sense this information from his actions and expressions.

then
After a translator was brought in, the group began to use gestures:

Casa: "This is a good thing. It's not just something that's available in our country, but only in the province where our club is located. You know what a province means, right? Here, one province is equivalent to one or several countries of kimchi."

Weiwei: "Indeed, and it's rainy in our area during the spring, so it's easy to get sick. Drinking this stuff helps to cool you down."

Luo Ji: "And it depends on your health. Most people drink it in a sweet way, but people with kidney deficiency will find it bitter."

Ruler Emperor: !!!
The rest of V5: !!

No!

Playing this big?!
Are you trying to make a living by treating the emperor as if he were the emperor himself?
but
On this point, men seem to have an inexplicable tacit understanding.

Jwei remained silent, simply opening the bottle and chugging it down. FOFO's face turned pale, regretting that he hadn't spoken up as quickly as Jwei. No wonder he was a jungler; his risk awareness was far superior to everyone else's.

They joined the "team battle" immediately.

then.

He unscrewed the bottle cap, controlled his expression, and drank a third of it as if he were drinking water normally. After drinking, he even deliberately waved it in front of Emperor Ruler.

Ruler Emperor: ?
He glanced at everyone, then at the herbal tea in his hand, then at the translator, and then, under an incredulous gaze, quietly took a small sip.

That moment.

It was as if the wrinkles of the cerebral cortex stood up and straightened, and a desire to vomit arose in an instant.

But soon.

The translated account of "kidney deficiency" made him forcibly suppress all the subconscious actions he wanted to take.

He forced himself to give a thumbs up.

"(So sweet!)"

Nofe observing from afar:
While V5 arrived early, the TES team members also arrived backstage.

and.

Rookie even put down his luggage and went straight to the V5 lounge by himself.

After all.

They had only been apart for a little over a month, and even though V5 had a new batch of people, that sense of familiarity still lingered.

"Hey, Yijin!"

Upon seeing Rookie's arrival, Luo Ji was the first to reach out and greet him.

"It's been a while since we last met. I'm relieved to see you all still looking so energetic," Rookie said with a smile, but he still revealed the purpose of his trip: "How about we get together for a meal after the match?"

“Of course, let’s also talk about this year’s training matches,” Nofe chimed in.

Rookie's eyes lit up.

He nodded vigorously.

"Then it's settled. This meal is on me, and nobody can take it from me."

As Luo Ji's former teammate, Rookie knew better than anyone how ahead of his time this guy was in terms of understanding and vision of the game.

I don't expect to copy even 8 or 10 points.

Even if they can copy just a little bit, it's enough for TES right now.

can only say.

At this stage, Rookie is really going all out for TES.

As this was a clash between two high-profile teams, Riot Games fielded another golden combination for the day's match: Miller and Tongxi. This combination would definitely be considered a top-tier setup in the regular season.

They're here! They're here!

[Now the rogue ninja village has gained another easy target. Can V5 withstand the attack from these rogue ninjas?]

Wait a minute, isn't V5 supposed to be the Avengers? How come TES is the traitor instead?

[It's the Golden Road, why are we still talking about the Avengers? Right now, V5 is facing the revenge of all the teams, and everyone's just here teaming up to fight the boss.]

The Road to Gold!

It was precisely because V5 accomplished what RNG couldn't in S8 last year that the entire team's value skyrocketed and they went their separate ways after V5 disbanded in S12.

otherwise
In the past, if you told netizens that JDG spent only a tiny bit less money than Ruler to sign Xiao Yan, you would think the JDG club had gone crazy.

But in this life.

Even JDG fans think it's alright, after all, Xiao Yan's KDA is explosive in every aspect.

This is the difference.

Commentary seat.

Miller and the colonel were still doing the final warm-up.

"Today's match should be very exciting. TES has made some adjustments to its roster this year, while V5's roster, although almost completely changed, has surprisingly good results."

"Yes."

Miller nodded in agreement.

"Last year, I rated V5 as a B+ team, which made me a laughing stock for almost a year. So I'm taking a wait-and-see approach to V5's roster this year, and I'll give it an A for now."

Miller is quite realistic.

in history.

Almost all teams that have won the World Championship have been able to return to the World Championship the following year if they retain their original structure, except for FPX.

This year, V5's structure has been almost completely dismantled.

If the new player is a complete newcomer to the LPL like Luo Ji last year, then Miller is actually not so sure about making a definitive conclusion.

Unfortunately, both FOFO and Weiwei are players with experience in the LPL, and he believes he has already seen the limits of their potential.

The remaining support
to be honest.

What can a support player do? After all, freaks like BeryL are still a minority.

soon.

As time went on, the competition began.

Today's match.

Nofe specifically instructed FOFO to be careful in the mid lane because he knew in advance that Xiaoyu would be the host of today's post-match interview.

This is usually a couples' gathering.

Rookie always seems to have a burst of power, and so far, the only one who can directly suppress this buff is Zhang Xihao, the protagonist of "Esports Bully".

soon.

The business process (BP) between the two sides begins.

TES: Top lane Renekton, Jungle Maokai, Mid lane Azir, Bot lane Twitch + Yuumi
V5: Top lane Quesanti, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Viktor, Bot lane Miss Fortune + Rey
unexpected.

This time, the bottom lane is no longer a matchup between Zellulu and Luna.

no way.

Version 13.1 was released because the Chinese server staff were going home for the Chinese New Year. Therefore, the Chinese server updated two versions consecutively after the New Year, unlike the overseas version which was released one version at a time.

This leads to.

In the current context of the competition, there are unlikely to be any major changes in the version; all strategy adjustments need to be made within this version.

But what about the female gunner, Rey?
"V5's lineup is a bit dangerous in the back row."

Tongxi sensed something was wrong.

While this lineup is ideal, and the synergy between Miss Fortune and Raiel can be game-changing if played well, Miss Fortune's lack of mobility makes this ultimate-focused strategy somewhat unrealistic.

"I feel like V5 is just experimenting. As for Miss Fortune, the strategies have all been exhausted, unless they come up with something new."

This lineup.

The commentators couldn't understand it.

The audience was also completely bewildered.

Only the V5 players themselves clearly understood why they chose this option.

As for Luo Ji, needless to say.

Quesanti, do you dare to release him?

If you dare to put it out, then I definitely dare to choose it.

During this period, almost all teams failed to find a top laner who could strictly counter Quesanti, and each team developed their own interpretation of the game.

Some think the weapon is powerful, some think the crocodile can compete on stats, and some even think Fiora is worth trying.

Quesanti understands the situation facing the various teams.

Luo Ji has always done only one thing—accept everything.

This round.

TES's top laner wasn't DaHuang, but QingTian.

Yes, that guy who weighs around 200 pounds, he's the one who can trade 1 for 1 if you can't beat him, but he's invincible as TES's other substitute top laner, who's good at juggling champions, like Darius.

crocodile
That should also be considered one of them.

Luo Ji didn't care at all. As his body developed and his energy and spirit were slowly climbing to their peak, he was not afraid of the clear sky opposite him.

But it's the bottom lane.

JKL felt immense pressure from Ruler the moment he faced him, as if he were facing a peak Uzi. His fundamentals were terrifyingly strong.

"Monster."

He subconsciously made a sarcastic remark.

"what happened?"

Tian, ​​who was standing nearby, heard JKL's complaint and asked curiously.

"I'm talking about that old man over there, Deng. He's so old, yet he's in such great shape. Is this the advantage of being single?"

"nonsense."

Rookie rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said, "The reason he takes good care of himself is because he's smart and won't easily touch his girlfriend."

"how about you?"

"I am the champion."

"It's as if no one is any different."

"I have two."

"."

"Let's talk about something else."

Like Faker, Ruler is also an LCK player who has been practicing since childhood. In comparison, the private lives of the others are not so simple.

Sometimes I'm not in a good state.

They're playing the game purely with their brains.

This one.

It's understandable that the opposing team would pick Crocodile and then let themselves have Quesanti.

The most difficult part of playing against Renekton is how to transition through the first six levels. Even without Ignite, Renekton's burst damage before level six is ​​enough to scare most top laners.

of course.

That's about level six.

Once you reach level six and have some tankiness, you can start going out and beating people up at will.

The opening goes without saying.

After briefly positioning himself in the jungle, Luo Ji headed straight for the top lane's "self-isolated toilet," leaving his vision in the bushes outside the toilet.

Sunny Day was indeed fooled.

After failing to spot Quesanti in the bushes at the start, he instinctively began circling around Luo Ji, but under the scrutiny of the field of vision, everything he did was in vain.

"Here we go again, avoiding fight at level one. It seems the key to this game isn't the top lane."

In the mid lane of TES

Rookie glanced at his own top laner, who couldn't find Quesanti's location, and then marked it with a marker, predictively pointing out Luo Ji, who was circling around Qingtian.

"Trust me, he's still here."

"what?"

Qingtian nodded, somewhat bewildered.

Don't be fooled by his status as a starter this season. In TES, there's only ever one true starter position; everyone else is just an add-on.

Since Rookie said there were people there, then there were people there. Tian even directly determined a route to spawn from top to bottom.

That's the trouble with old teammates.

With only a month to separate, V5 simply couldn't immediately change their opening habits, so it was normal for Rookie to notice their opening patterns.

but if.

Should I arrange for the jungler to blitz the top half of the map?
In a scene that even the commentators found unbelievable, Weiwei, Level 3, chose to go all in!
