My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 313 "The Theory of Famous Swords"

There's not much to say about the early laning phase.

Whether you're a professional or a casual player, you only need to focus on one thing when laning: when to engage the opponent and when not to, rather than trying out all sorts of fancy, extreme combos.

Again.

Professional players are all geniuses. Even Zhan Ying, who is jokingly referred to as "Zhan Ying" (meaning "war eagle"), is a terrifying force that is invincible in various provinces.

Why do you rarely see anything fancy or flashy in professional fields?

First, people react really quickly; second, fancy and complicated things don't allow for much error.

The blind monk fights the monkey.

The main thing is to compete against others at the same level.

The monkey exists passively.

If you have strong level 1 all-in capabilities, then it's clear: start with E, focusing on harassment and wave clear. When both sides meet, immediately use E to slam the ground to initiate.

same.

The pheasant also used the monkey's E skill to follow.

But when Luo Ji wanted to deal damage again, he had already retreated and spread out. Because of his retreat, the enemy's backline minions could not attack the Blind Monk and were forced to move forward. Luo Ji's minions did not move because they could attack the Monkey King.

Wait until the second Lee Sin's E skill is off cooldown before using it.

The pheasant finally realized something was wrong.

its not right!
When someone uses their E to kill five or six minions, I only manage to AOE two or three minions when I use my E. Doesn't it deserve that the enemy gets to level two first?

Hey!
Fooled again.

"Did you react?"

"late!"

Lee Sin is a popular champion, but top lane Lee Sin is an unpopular champion, so it's normal that Shanji doesn't have much experience with him.

But the price is...

By the time he came to his senses, Luo Ji, who had reached level two first, had already used his E skill to slow him down while simultaneously using his Q skill, Sonic Wave, to firmly attach to him.

Followed by.

It's a decisive trigger of the second Q.

When he saw Lee Sin's two Qs visibly reduce his health bar by a large margin, even someone as skilled as Shanji at his peak couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Holy crap, was Lee Sin's Q skill damage really that high before!?"

Once again.

Shanji sensed the designer's malice in Luo Ji.

at the same time.

Bottom lane.

Able+Jerry also felt a lot of pressure from Ruler and Jwei. To be honest, they have played against BLG's bot lane before, but they have never been so oppressive.

You said BLG's bot lane beat V5's bot lane 2-0?
Are you kidding me?
"Sure enough, I knew something was wrong."

Able said through gritted teeth.

He was starting to suspect that the opposing Ruler was a human cheat code. He was playing Jhin, a champion that seemed weak but was actually quite strong, yet their champion abilities barely hit him.

"Not only that, Annie on the other side is also annoying," Jerry added.

Regarding the emergence of support Annie.

Although they were surprised, they weren't as as as surprised when Luo Ji picked Lee Sin for top lane, mainly because there are all sorts of weird stuff in the bot lane in this version.

Hard supports, soft supports, defensive supports, AD supports, and mage supports—we've all seen them a long time ago.

Even at the same time.

BeryL from the neighboring LCK region has even "developed" a so-called weapon support.

can only say.

The Chinese server's Silver rank players have a game understanding that is at least ten years ahead of professional players.

however.

Annie is actually a terrifying presence after the designers buffed her. Putting aside the increased damage of her R skill, the buff to her E skill is Annie's main advantage in the laning phase.

Added AP bonus, reduced cooldown, and increased shield bounce damage.

Anne's arms are naturally long.

With a range of 625, which is 75 more than Lulu's 550, in a normal AD lane matchup, 65 range is enough to completely shut someone down in lane, not to mention that Annie's auto-attack feels very good.

Combined with the E skill.

It's like I'm getting free damage from you, while you're hitting me and hitting yourself. I get double the damage from you, and the shield also goes to my AD carry.

Lulu discovered this while playing.

How come there's a Stand user on the other side who's the same type as me?
"That's impressive, V5's cutting-edge technology."

"To be precise, it should be the version of scientific research in my dream. These small changes may not seem very powerful on their own, but when put together, their power becomes apparent."

Commentary seat.

The two commentators once again saw V5 in their most familiar territory.

Three routes are superior!

When they played against LCK teams in the World Championship, they discovered that V5 liked this style the most, similar to T1, where they liked to control the lane and then use the lane advantage to drive the jungler and influence the whole team.

This wasn't so obvious when Weiwei came on stage before.

But as soon as Kasa entered the game.

That familiar feeling came rushing back in an instant.

We're back. The familiar village is back.

[This is the kind of game I'm looking for. Seeing V5 control all three lanes early on makes me feel like they've got it in the bag.]

This damn T1 feel is so captivating!

[Aki's most awful episode ever, I beat the champion? Really?]

now.

OMG's jungler Aki is indeed a bit numb.

It's one thing to lose in the top and bottom lanes, but what's with Akali being dominated by Yasuo in the mid lane? Shouldn't the younger player be crushing the older one? It looks like the younger player is about to be crushed by the older Yasuo.

but
do not care.

As the saying goes, catching one is the same as catching two, so of course he would choose the lane with more people. Since V5's bot lane is so aggressive, he would take the initiative to launch a surprise attack on V5's bot lane.

however.

Before he could even exert his strength, he suddenly encountered the opposing jungler, Diana, who was also in the bottom half of the map, in the river.

The two sides circled around the "crab".

Ultimately, they decided not to meet and went their separate ways.

but
Only viewers with a god-like perspective can see that the two people, who appear to have parted ways, have not actually gone far, but have disappeared from each other's sight.

They found another shady spot and hid, wary of each other for the other might not have left.

This?
"patience."

At this moment, Nofe from the lounge spoke up again.

"Kasa is someone who understands the map and the enemy jungler's psychology very well. Many junglers can do what's happening right now, but why is it that he often does it better?"

"The principle lies in..."

"Everyone has the same amount of patience. When you don't want to fight anymore, he doesn't want to wait for you anymore either. But Kasa is able to control his mentality and make himself wait longer."

as predicted.

When Weiwei adopted Karsa's perspective, he thought that after waiting for so long, the enemy jungler should be gone and it was time to gank.

Kasa remained motionless, as if he had suddenly gone AFK during the game.

at the same time.

Aki on the other side couldn't hold back any longer.

They began to actively reveal their vision and move towards the bottom lane.

coming!

Under normal circumstances, counter-ganking is better than proactive ganking. This is because with vision of counter-ganking, the person being ganked will subconsciously be on guard against the enemy jungler, while the enemy will not know that someone is counter-ganking, which will cause them to make mistakes in their positioning.

That's what OMG is all about.

When Blade of the Ruined King activated his E skill and attempted to charge up his W to control any one of V5's bot laners.

It's after the skill misses.

In the grass.

Diana's dash, combined with Annie's steady control, propelled them forward.

"what?"

"Bright moon?"

"No, how come he's still here?!"

Now, not only Aki, but even OMG's bot lane duo is a bit apprehensive. The opposing jungler seems to have X-ray vision, having camped them for so long.

What else can we do?
That's all I can do.

V5_Ruler killed OMG_Aki
First Blood!

The moment the kill notification rang out from above the canyon, all the viewers felt through their screens that Karsa was still as sharp as ever.

"Wow, Ka-bro, you got into the rhythm right away?"

"Stop bragging. He's been a veteran for years. This isn't the playoffs. If he can't even keep up with this pace, what good would I be?"

The conversation between the two amused the rest of the team.

They didn't think about it.

What should have been a competition turned into casual conversation among them. However, having gone through the training of "Overcooked 2", they were able to instinctively filter out information useful for the competition from these conversations.

Only at this moment did they belatedly realize the benefits of "training".

Next.

Jiaoyue should be setting off soon, right?
Weiwei thought to himself as he stared at the screen, but after a while, he suddenly realized that Karsa had no desire to go to the top lane at all. Instead, he continued to immerse himself in the bottom half of the map, looking like he was determined to protect Karsa to death.

Weiwei: ?
"why?"

In his view, Ruler had already gained such a big advantage in the bottom lane, and Blade of the Ruined King is a champion who needs to farm in the early game. After dying once, he is unlikely to continue to approach the bottom lane, which doesn't have many jungle monsters to begin with.

Continuing to defend this wave is futile.

but why?
"Isn't it strange? At this point, the probability of encountering the enemy jungler is obviously higher if he goes to the top half of the map, but he still stays in the bottom half."

Nofe watched his expression with great interest.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Just like the famous sword theory I mentioned to you earlier, while I was nurturing Kasa, Kasa was also slowly adapting to the rhythm of my dream."

"At that time, our bot lane was recognized by the league as the team's weak point."

"At that time, Karsa was focused on protecting the bottom lane's development and didn't need to worry about the top lane, because the top lane could create an advantage on its own."

"Therefore, he rarely appears in the upper half of the draw."

“Except for the World Championship, when the draft focused on protecting the bottom lane’s development, he gradually started to focus on the top side of the map.”

trust.

It was precisely because Karsa genuinely believed that the top lane could withstand the pressure that he was able to protect the bottom lane duo's development without restraint.

Even the slightest chance.

Neither of them wanted to give it to the opposing jungler.

However, the V5 team, which has only been reorganized and working together for less than three months, still needs to gradually build trust, and many things will have to be done slowly.

Overcooked 2 trains contestants' information filtering abilities.

"The Blacksmith Theory" guides players to have a certain degree of trust in their team's star players.

Meanwhile, Chidi's "Chinese Learning" represents the team's most important form of communication.

"Kasa trusts Luo Ji's ability to withstand pressure."

"so."

"His playstyle mainly focuses on leaving the top lane empty in the early game and protecting the bottom lane. This is his playstyle because he has an extremely terrifying map reading ability."

"And what about you, Weiwei?"

"If it were you, how would you forge these prototype swords that could become famous swords?"

Nofe stared intently at him, who was deep in thought.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Should you simply copy your predecessor, or should you think hard and transform yourself into a style that only you are best suited to wield?"

"This is the real me."

"The real purpose of having you sit here and watch Casa play."
