My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 456 Even the wisest man can make a mistake.

The second game of the match.

When the players from both teams returned to the arena, many LCK viewers were speechless as they watched Zeus appear on the bench.

LCK fans fall into two categories:

There are two types of fans: T1 fans and non-T1 fans.

You can think of it this way: if RNG had won the S8 World Championship, the difference between RNG fans and non-RNG fans would be that the latter would absolutely want the former to die, because they would definitely be stripped of their citizenship.

But the problem is.

They had already secured an opportunity for Kiin, but he just didn't deliver.

Then Zeus will have to come.

soon.

The second round of business negotiations begins.

A round of ban:

CHN: Xia, Nico, Kaisa

KOR: LeBlanc, Nightmare, Crocodile

A round of PICK
CHN: Pig Girl, Little Cannon, Quesanti
KOR: Jayce, Tree, Varus
Second round of bans:

Zephyr, Jinx, Titan, and Poppy were all sent away.

On the fourth move, KOR secured the Minotaur.

They're still holding back. The red team's fifth counter pick is still reserved for the top and mid lanes, since Jayce can play both top and mid, making him a versatile champion.

The draft phase was particularly difficult this game.

It's difficult to keep Kostas constantly on his toes, banning this and defending that, and after thinking for a long time, he still feels like he's overlooked something.

until
CHN's last two picks: Sylas + Leona
Silas!
Kouma's eyes suddenly widened.

He thought a lot and took many precautions, but he overlooked the most basic and easy-to-understand Sylas Alistar. It can only be said that the pressure from the loss in the first game was too great.

Version 13.12

There are too many heroes to keep an eye on, and he didn't even think of Sylas, who isn't a regular popular mid-lane pick, right away.

Finished!

Although they had already decided on a double poke + Maokai composition, they could potentially steal Alistar's Sylas + Quesant + Leona and completely disregard their poke lineup to force a fight.

The most amazing thing is.

They also banned Bobby.

Kromas really couldn't think of what he could pick as his last move. Gwen could play against Quesanti, but she was too late-game, and there would be a double AP jungle and top lane. Judging from the lineup, he needed a champion who could push forward a bit in this game.

then.

As a last resort, KOR picked up Gnar.

So far:

CHN: Top lane Quesanti, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Sylas, Bot lane Tristana + Leona
KOR: Top lane Gnar, Jungle Maokai, Mid lane Jayce, Bot lane Varus + Alistar
If the support can replace Alistar.

So, Kkoma still felt that his draft in the second game was barely acceptable. The system was clear, the double poke was strong in the mid-game, and the lane priority was still there in the early game. It was just that Sylas and Alistar came out.

He always felt that the subsequent team battle would be extremely difficult.

[Sylas vs. Jayce? Isn't this a stupid draft? What? You say the enemy has Alistar? A godlike pick!!!]

To be honest, this lineup really lacks lane control in the early game.

[It depends on team fights and the players' performance in lane. As long as the economic gap isn't too large in the mid-game, the Chinese team can easily push into the enemy team.]

The pressure suddenly increased.

Looking at the KOR team's lineup, everyone on CHN's team gave Tian a sympathetic look in unison.

Junglers are most afraid of games where all three lanes have no lane priority.

And this second one.

While it might not be that extreme, it's certain that securing lane control in the early game will be difficult, something Tian naturally noticed, but he wasn't worried.

His ability to control the pace of the game is particularly strong in the early and mid-game.

Once you've set the pace and reached the mid-game, your team's strength will gradually come into play. Since you had the first game as a safety net, you can unleash your full potential in the second game.

Cheerful!
Keep being cheerful!
After seeing the opposing team's lineup, Luo Ji could roughly guess that he would be facing Gnar in lane. He couldn't very well let Gnar fight his own Sylas; that would be too abstract.

So, I directly allocated points to Undying Grip and Steadfastness in the talents tree, and then just allocated the rest randomly.

The secondary majors mainly focus on cookies and shoes.

Game start.

With both junglers playing utility roles, there was no need to worry about the enemy's invasion in the early game. Luo Ji chose to go online early and resume his identity as the "Child of Grass".

A skilled Gnar player can handle melee champions.

At level one, players will try to pull the enemy minion wave down so that warrior heroes can't easily get into the bushes. However, Zeus was clearly more wary in this game. In casual games, it's good to press the enemy's position in advance to pull the minion wave.

But this is a crucial situation.

Nobody knows if there are people lying in ambush nearby.

after all
When he first watched the match from the underground, he had a feeling about some of the players on the CHN team.

They are a little far from being human, but very close to being gods; you can feel their divine attributes even through the screen.

"Are we being cautious?"

“This is not like Zeus at all.”

Luo Ji smiled subconsciously.

Coaches are indeed good at brainwashing; a perfectly good Zeus was somehow turned into this by the opposing team.

But that's right.

If they lose this game, they'll be back with a 0/2 score. Not only will they be scorned by fans in the region, but they'll also have to regret missing out on the opportunity to avoid military service.

You might even wake up in the middle of the night and get two big blobs of embarrassment.

They can't help but be cautious.

Zeus let it go.

Luo Ji naturally pushes. In the early levels, Quesanti only needs to push the lane, and the combo for trading blows also needs to be changed.

The change from the normal EQA to EAQ is because with EQ, the subsequent auto-attack is unlikely to land, while with EAQ, the EA already deals enough damage due to the Undying ability, and the Q is more like a lottery.

It would be great if I won, but it doesn't matter if I don't.

have nothing to say.

They're just taking advantage of Gnar's fragile physique and low stats. Jayce is already so weak, with a base attack damage of 57 at level 1, while Gnar's base attack damage at level 1 is only 45 + 3X (hero level).

It made my family laugh so hard.

It seems that they also knew that the top lane wouldn't be able to fight in the early game, so in this game, the director focused the camera on the jungler and the bottom lane in the early stages, especially the jungler.

Because it's the blue side.

Tian's jungle clearing route this game was from top to bottom, and he didn't actually plan to help the top lane because it wasn't necessary.

But at the moment he was promoted to the third rank, he subconsciously moved towards the middle lane.

It is worth mentioning that.

In this game, his strategy was to start with a ward and then go back to base to replace it with a scanner. When he reached the mid lane, he decisively activated the scanner since he had it in hand.

However, it doesn't mean going directly into the bushes that connect to the river and might be within sight.

Instead, it continues to circle around a little.

From the outside of the F6 wall on the red side, he used his scanner to sneak up behind Jayce. This was a premeditated level 3 gank in the middle!
"coming!"

"Sejuani has started scanning; Tian has designs on Chovy this time."

"Sylas's burst damage at level 3 is very high. He only needs to add a little bit of damage and control. Sejuani wasn't seen in the bushes."

"But Kanavi is here too, CHN team only has one chance!"

Commentary seat.

Wang Duoduo's voice was deafening.

The battle between the two top junglers began about three minutes into the game. Both sides looked towards the mid lane, which seemed less likely to be in danger, with great tacit agreement. As soon as Sejuani took her position, Knight couldn't wait to use his E skill to rush in.

"He's going to fight?"

"wrong!"

"Someone's coming!!!"

Silas's bizarre action lasted less than a second, and Kanavi, hiding in the bushes, already realized the problem was coming from the bushes, but his position was too awkward.

Normally, the two middle lanes are positioned diagonally.

Chovy forced Knight to a position close to his own jungler, which was already near the top side of the map, not to mention the river bushes and his wards.

Yet he schemes against others like this.

Others were also plotting against him.

With the same angled positioning, Sejuani's position relative to Jayce is much shorter than Maokai's position relative to Sylas.

The instant Chovy switched to melee form and smashed Sylas away,
It's behind me.

Suddenly, Sejuani's Q skill, "Pig Charge," was unleashed.

"boom!"

hit.

Not only did the Q skill hit, but so did Sejuani's W and Sylas's second E skill after being knocked away.

Buho!

Chovy's eyes widened as if she had noticed something was wrong.

He clearly didn't expect his opponent to use such underhanded tactics right from the start. Before he knew it, he had given his opponent an opportunity, which allowed them to make the first move.

But Knight also had something to say.

I called for a jungler, didn't you call for a jungler? What are you pretending to be innocent for?

If Kanavi hadn't been there, he probably would have been able to defeat Chovy in this exchange. But because Kanavi was there, Chovy managed to escape after regaining control and using Flash.

Whether it's Tian or Knight.

Instead of using Flash to try and catch the opponent, Tian threw some more damage at the tree, and after gaining enough advantage, he slowly made his way back to his bottom half of the map.

"That guy over there."

Seeing his health and Flash depleted, Chovy glared angrily, trying to kill the enemy jungler with his eyes.

"You gave him a chance. That jungler on the other side is no ordinary player. He's a former champion jungler."

Kanavi thought for a moment.

I think it's better to say something to get my teammates to take it more seriously.

Ruler, however, didn't care. He had a mental illness certificate from a doctor, so he could just play normally. He would do his best if he won, and he wouldn't take the blame if he lost.

On the contrary, after adopting this mindset...

JKL felt immense pressure in the bot lane. "Damn it, we already won one game against you guys, so why are you still laning so steadily?"

My heart was completely unmoved.

Have you been killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years?
Seeing that both junglers were moving towards the bottom lane, Meiko, watching the minion wave being pushed towards the enemy, began to have some ideas.

They have lane priority in the bottom lane.

Varus's lane control is evident in the period after the laning phase when he defends the mid lane. In the early game, he is slightly lacking, unlike Tristana, who can automatically push the lane after learning her E skill and relying on her passive.

Normally.

They should take advantage of their early-game strength and try to engage in a fight with the opponent.

Unfortunately, Ruler and Keria completely refused to accept the offer.

Row.

You're not going to answer, are you?

Then I'll go to the jungle to talk to your jungler. You'll have to come to the bot lane eventually, right?
Meiko suggested it, and Tian also felt there was a chance, so the two hit it off immediately.

Jungle farming?

Brush yarn wild.

They went straight into the jungle and blew the hell out of them!
