My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 473 Hedonism is extremely harmful.

[The King of Signings!!!]

[Hey, what a terrible team KT is! They never get a chance to play against the European or North American regions; every game is a match between Chinese and Korean teams.]

[KT: Didn't we register for the World Championship? What's with this Rift Rivals schedule?]

It all started with KT choosing T1 in the Summer Split playoffs.

even.

Many netizens, upon seeing this group assignment, are secretly suspecting that Mebius might be behind it, deliberately losing the internal match in order to fall into the loser's bracket and beat all four LCK teams.

"slander!"

"Pure slander!"

"What do you mean we deliberately lost the match to go to the loser's bracket and beat up KT? Who would want to play another round of matches if they could rest for an extra day? These netizens are just making pure slander!"

"I want to report him! I want to report him!"

Luo Ji has finally discovered it.

My reputation has been ruined by these netizens who love to watch the drama unfold.

Well known.

On the current version of the internet, all the bad things are done by Sun Xiaochuan, and all the old-fashioned tactics are taught by the Delta Godfather. As for all the bad ideas?
There's a tendency now to shift the focus to him.

Can he bear this?

Log in directly with a secondary account, and let the music begin, the ten fingers playing a symphony.

Canyon Beethoven - Initiate!
Regardless of whether he alone can turn the tide in public opinion, the KT club's players all looked somewhat blank at that moment.

The kind of numbness that comes from wood.

KT's roster that year was actually quite impressive.

Let's not even talk about top laner Kiin. We just played against him in Hangzhou, but he got thrashed. But actually, he's really strong. He's the first top laner in LCK to reach 300 wins, and his status is equivalent to Ruler's status as an AD carry in the eyes of LCK fans. So everyone thinks he's the best. But unfortunately, T1 has someone with an even stronger record.

Cuzz, the jungler, is like the Clearlove of the LCK. He's strong when his teammates are strong and weak when they are weak. He's a master at killing familiar opponents and a complete idiot when playing against newbies.

Mid laner BDD, readers of this platform are already very familiar with him, so we'll skip that.

The bot lane duo is Aiming and Lehends, a former BLG AD carry and a top-three Korean support. The support is a male succubus similar to Meiko in the LCK region.

Just look at these specs.

Many people might think that these are just low-level players who are rarely seen in world championships.

But that's the kind of team they are.

It's the best lineup of the LCK regular season, with all players on the first team, while GENG has all players on the second team, which is enough to prove the quality of this team.

Make sense.

If it weren't for Captain Dragonfly's incredible draw, which left the team with virtually no room for error in the Swiss rounds, ultimately leading to their downfall, S13 would most likely have been a KT vs. T1 final.

"As for V5, their weaknesses were exposed in yesterday's match between JDG and them."

"This team still has too many newcomers."

"With Ruler on the team, Jwei, who is playing support, might not get as many opportunities as we might think, but their jungler could be a breakthrough point for us."

"So, the next round."

"It will be like attacking the Chinese national football team, a fierce assault on [the dragon's ingrown toenails]."

Although that's not exactly what they said, that's roughly the meaning in the ears of the KT players: they've already had enough bad luck, so there's no point in attacking other people's weaknesses.

just
"Next round, let's have Casa go up."

"Ah I?"

On the other side is the T1 club.

In the meeting room, Kasa looked at the coach, then pointed to himself, his face full of confusion. Even if they lost one game, it didn't mean they should be replaced after just one loss.

"KT is no weaker than our potential opponent T1. The key is that their top, mid, and jungle players are all veterans. This kind of opponent might use Weiwei as a breakthrough point because of today's game."

"of course."

At this point, Nofe changed his tone and said:

"Weiwei is also ready to play in the next round. You and Kasa represent two different playing styles and tactics in our team."

"In V5, it's not about who loses and who goes down, but about who can win and who goes up to fight."

Weiwei nodded.

This kind of last-minute roster change is not a one-off occurrence in V5; they basically change players when they lose and continue when they win.

Of course, Casal has become lazy because he has won championships, which makes him willing to quit even after winning.

so
Hedonism is extremely harmful.

Like traveling through One Piece, most people imagine themselves as following a system after traveling through time. But if an ordinary person actually traveled into it, they would probably be eager to sneak into Big Mom's Whole Cake Island, where they would only have to pay two months of their lifespan per year and lose their memories, and they wouldn't have to work all year round, would be protected, and wouldn't have to worry about food.

Look at it this way.

Does this indirectly demonstrate the villain's righteousness?

While preparing for the third round of the Swiss system, the organizers are also constantly arranging for staff to be stationed at various clubs to help each team record vlogs. Among them, the LCK's Korean hosts are particularly proactive.

No matter what.

Although everyone in the V5 area was watching them intently, none of them crossed the line.

"Honey trap?"

"Not really. Everyone says that professional gamers are naive, rich, and easy to control. There are tons of influencer training classes in Shanghai that specifically target professional gamers. Have you forgotten about the wives who transfer to other teams in the industry?"

Luo Ji already looked down on this type of person. If it were Kasa, they would have to send someone with a loli-like personality. FOFO and Ruler are obsessed with winning the championship. Jwei already has a girlfriend he's very close to. The only one who might have a weakness is Weiwei.

What a coincidence.

He's on the bench, just stepped down from the starting lineup.

I wasn't in the mood to begin with, and you're still doing this?
roll!
The Korean female host, who was turned away, was also dumbfounded. Her appearance was made according to the best human aesthetic standards, purely technological with no natural features. Even so, she couldn't seduce him. Then she could only rely on the contestants in the competition area to come up with their own ideas.

until
Day three of the Swiss cruise.

KT's players watched as V5 suddenly submitted a roster rotation request, replacing their star player Weiwei with substitute Karsa. In that instant...

They all felt as if the sky had fallen.

"Holy crap, it's see-through!"

"A master doesn't win the first game, a master doesn't win the second game, a master doesn't win the first three games. How come the masters don't win even one game?"

"Let me see what happened. He didn't die. Now it's our turn to have something to do."

"The opponent is cheating, next game."

Upon seeing the personnel changes, the KT members collectively yawned.

It's one thing to have bad luck in the draw, but when you finally encounter an opponent who makes a mistake, while others are playing well by exploiting bugs, you immediately get a hot update and patch.
That's it.

When they were interviewed, they had to bite the bullet and say some harsh things.

In this regard.

Luo Ji and others naturally expressed their opinions as well.

Faced with harsh words, they had to "retaliate with a chicken".

This highlights the difference between how other regions and the LPL region are interviewed. When other regions are interviewed, they are extremely aggressive, or at the very least, they say things like, "They are very strong, but we are not lacking in strength," in a face-saving manner.

My main point is that while my gun might be weak, my words will definitely be tough.

Only LPL.

Because of the sheer volume of traffic, every player is afraid of this and that. They can't talk trash, and they're timid and hesitant when fighting in international matches. They're typical examples of players who aren't tough but are definitely soft-spoken.

"We need to increase the intensity on the other side tomorrow, Meng. What are you going to say tomorrow?"

"tomorrow?"

Luo Ji glanced at the numerous KT interviews that had been forwarded to his phone and replied quite naturally:

"Is there even a question? If I don't gain an advantage in the top lane, it must be the jungler's fault."

"?"

Kasa: Are we assigning him a pot in advance?!
But yes.

Although all of KT's players were first-team qualifiers, Luo Ji considered KT's top, mid, and jungle players to be old-timers.

These players are older.

If skills decline, those who play C can't perform well and are easily blamed.

Playing the mixed class is relatively easy to master and less likely to result in losses. You also have less to blame for losses. Unfortunately, even playing the tank class is no longer viable for mixed classes.

Aside from oddballs like Ruler, Karsa, and Xiaohu.

Most older players either continue playing to pay off their debts, ruining their reputation in their later years, or they retire to preserve their honor.

For example, Doinb.

He's obviously too old and not up to par, but he still wants to make money and grits his teeth to keep playing. As a result, he plays terribly on the field. It's S15 and he's still using the same playstyle from S9.

Despite their outward expressions of indifference towards the competition.

But practical.

That night, everyone's RANK time increased by half an hour to an hour in perfect unison.

V5's training time already far exceeds that of other teams, and now that it's increased further, even Nofe has to worry about whether this will cause damage to their bodies.

In other words, young people are resilient.

If this were a brittle middle-aged person over thirty, wouldn't they just snap right there?

"Looks like he was provoked after all."

"Who can argue with that? After all, they're a group of young people."

Inside the club.

Nofe and his team of data analysts are still working hard.

They already had multiple systems in place for their rosters, and now the focus is on collecting data from other teams, especially the evolution of the four LCK teams.

No one remains unchanged.

While V5 is growing, the players on other teams are also growing. That's the nature of the World Championship. There's no such thing as a league champion being able to continue being a world champion.

"Everyone else is fine."

"Our team has a mix of very young and very old members, but we have plenty of fighting spirit and perseverance. Our leader has also set a good example."

"I dream about that guy."

"Everything was planned out in advance, from the very beginning of the season when we were selecting players."

This year's World Championship.

The progress of everyone is terrifying and visible. Even the teams from the European and American regions, which are often looked down upon, have put a lot of pressure on LPL and LCK teams several times in S13. Their transformation has begun.

If Luo Ji hadn't intercepted it beforehand...

S14's FLY may still amaze the world with his BO5 performance.

In Nofe's view...

V5's greatest characteristic is that they are never afraid of battle. They believe that soldiers are willing to die for their cause and to die in retreat. Without this spirit, they would not be qualified to compete for the S13 championship.

It is precisely because they possess this quality.

and so.

Even though they lost a round in the Swiss round, he still didn't think it would have much of an impact on the team; in fact, he thought it was a good thing.

after all
The game LOL.

The key to victory was already hidden in the theme songs of each previous S-series tournament.

You can't win if your white flag's out when the war begins.
Translation:

Those who fear war are not worthy of the banner of victory.
