My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 477 This moment is just like that moment back then.

"KT will have a tough time next."

"Indeed, Aatrox has risen to power. A 2/0 Aatrox is even higher level than Renekton. Theoretically, Renekton can no longer suppress him at all."

From a rational perspective.

Crocodile is indeed good at fighting Aatrox, but as time goes by, this so-called easy fight will only become more and more difficult, and in the end, it will become very difficult to beat Aatrox. The two kills undoubtedly accelerated this process.

After getting the pioneer.

V5's momentum has officially taken off. Having already stormed the mid lane, they continued their assault with the second Rift Herald.

Fortunately, KT's support was an enchanter support, and their support item was upgraded early. Otherwise, they would have been helpless against V5's vision control strategy.

But nevertheless.

Right now, they are finding it difficult to compete head-on with V5 in terms of operations.

The third elemental dragon's respawn time.

At this point, Luo Ji has already completed his two-item build. With Bloodthirster and Black Cleaver in hand, Aatrox is at his strongest. Given the right opportunity, he can even beat a three-item Aatrox with just two items. On the other hand, Renekton is still a tiny bit short of completing his two-item build.

KT has already secured their positions.

They realized that the only way to win this game was to rush the dragon. V5's lineup put too much pressure on them in the mid-game, and the full charge composition meant that Orianna and Aphelios might not be able to farm until the late game.

but.
After they successfully took their positions.

To their astonishment, they discovered that the 2/0 Aatrox was currently on the bottom lane, and after clearing the lane, he was standing in the bushes connecting the bottom lane to the river, forcing KT's team to retreat.

in contrast.

The main force of V5, consisting of four players, moved down from the middle lane.

Double clamp?

wrong!

You're a Sword Demon, what gives you the right to stand so arrogantly? Aren't you afraid I'll catch you?

like
I'm really not afraid.

A lineup that's too late-game oriented means the team itself lacks crowd control. KT's lineup relies on single-target crowd control, and you have to get close to them to use it. As for Lena's crowd control, it goes without saying that the only hard crowd control she has is her ultimate.

But would you use your ultimate ability to force the Sword Demon into a certain position?

You unleash your ultimate move.

The human sword demon activated his ultimate, but his ultimate skill couldn't catch up with the enemy sword demon at all.

So KT found themselves in this awkward situation.

You know that the Sword Demon is jumping in from the back of your team, but you can't do anything about him. Do you want to force your way into the enemy's front line?

Neeko's ultimate can directly divide the battlefield.

Charging in is one thing, not charging in is another. Fighting the dragon makes them vulnerable to being caught in a pincer movement. It's fine until the team fight phase, but now that things are escalating, they realize how awkward their team composition was.

"Wow, that's awesome! Mebius's Aatrox is practically swimming under KT's formation."

"Ugh, this is so annoying. This Sword Demon has been here the whole time, but KT can't catch him. Not only can they not catch him, they can only watch helplessly."

"Lehends couldn't take it anymore, and he tried to give up control."

"But if you can't control it, the Sword Demon can easily twist it with a single move. So, are you still going to fight this dragon? Do you even dare to fight it?"

Mi Ren just grinned.

Even he himself didn't realize that his voice during the explanation had taken on a slightly smug tone.

KT's tendency to hesitate in team fights was also exposed at this moment.

I wanted to charge at the Sword Demon, but I missed my skills and then gave up. I wanted to give up the dragon and retreat, but then I thought about how I had already lost the minion wave, and if I didn't take the dragon, my strategy would feel like a huge loss. In short, I was reluctant to give it up.

"They haven't left. If I create an opening, can I open the attack?"

"It depends on control; if you can control it, you can kill it."

"Are you Ash (the Arknights Rainbow Six Siege collaboration operator) from somewhere?"

"You play this too?"

In the midst of their conversation, Luo Ji directly revealed a weakness. Although he wasn't controlled by Lenata, he was "accidentally" slowed down by Orianna's QW combo.

opportunity!

Not only did the KT players have this word in their minds, but even FOFO from V5 had it in mind.

he knows.

The two top players from his own team, Ueno and Naruto, were chatting casually to relieve their own pressure. At the same moment when Aatrox successfully attracted the attention of the entire opposing team, FOFO controlled Neeko to decisively use stealth to move forward.

The second weakness of the KT lineup.

When they find an opportunity to play, the team will be temporarily out of sync because neither KT's two carries nor their jungler and support are mobile heroes.

In the instant they attempted to hunt down the Sword Demon.

It's behind me.

Karsa abruptly charged up his Q and ultimate, locking onto KT's Aphelios.

"The group buy has started?"

The sudden lock caused KT's players to abruptly stop in their tracks, but it was precisely this moment of pause that gave Jwei the perfect opportunity to enter the fray.

It's about LoRE's entry into the game.
"Shh!"

R [Bloom]!
fast!
It has no special features, or rather, its only feature is speed.

It was so fast that KT couldn't react, so fast that they didn't even realize V5 had initiated the fight, so fast that their players who were moving towards Aatrox couldn't decide whether to charge at Aatrox first or counter-attack first.

Lehends quickly used his ultimate move to counterattack.

No matter what.

His own ultimate ability is merely a counteracting effect against Neeko's ultimate ability.

The point is.

In an instant, they used their skills to protect themselves behind them. The sword demon, who was originally in the "front," has now become an uncontrollable nightmare behind them!

R [Great Annihilation] ~
This is the time when Aatrox is at his strongest, and with the current all-out charge composition, his teammates' skills are already overwhelming KT.

So all Luo Ji needed to do was chase after Aphelios. KT's AD was terrified.

As an AD carry without any mobility skills, what he needs most is to create distance. Right now, both sides of the battlefield are closing in on him. Vi has locked him down, and Aatrox is even using his ultimate to charge towards him.

As he watched the Sword Demon get closer and closer after landing, he became increasingly nervous.

Followed by.

At the very moment his Aphelios was banished from Flash, what rang in his ears was not the roar of the Demon Slayer, but...
It was like a long-suppressed outburst suddenly released, a wild and morbid scream from Jinx.

"Hello, I'm a madman, I have a mental illness certificate from a doctor."

R【Ultimate Death Missile!】

"boom!"

His already low health was reduced to just a health bar at this moment, and he was still feeling fortunate that he hadn't died this time.

in front of you.

Then, the figures of sword demons were everywhere.

"Shu~"

flash.

Upon landing, he unleashed a basic attack imbued with the passive killing intent!

V5_Mebius killed KT_Aiming
The instant the head was killed.

Not far away, Jinx's passive [Pleasure of Guilt] was suddenly triggered while she was being chased by the crocodile. With this movement speed boost, Kiin's crocodile became a complete muggle.

The W key was instantly purified and neutralized.

Chasing after them, but unable to outrun the enemy AD who has triggered their passive.

front.

In the chaos of battle, he was completely overwhelmed by the Sword Demon who activated his ultimate. Even though BDD finally found an opportunity to land a powerful ultimate, the AD had already been killed first, and the enemy's two sides were already on the verge of death.

This is big.
It was nothing more than a last-ditch effort to save face.

[Pure Dragon!]

[Everyone just wandered around the center of the team fight, and before they knew it, they had wiped out the entire KT team. Is this what V5 is all about?]

So the question is, how exactly did V5 lose to JDG?

Jinx: I'm not agile, but my teammates are.

Is the competition venue really that quiet? Hahahaha.

even.

The moment the team fight ended, many international student viewers were surprised to find that what should have been a Kimchi-dominated arena, resembling the Busan Library, gradually began to erupt in cheers. This indicated that even some relatively neutral fans couldn't help but feel excited about V5's exciting team fight.

This was a scene that was never even imagined in previous LPL matches.

"Their teamwork is becoming more and more seamless."

"Kasa makes his teammates feel at ease when he comes on. He is so experienced. He would definitely turn into a pizza if he played a full BO5, but he is a god of war if he only played one or two games."

0 for 4
The only one that escaped was the Ruined King, who was on the edge of the OB (observation) area.

Cuzz said he had no choice. If he were playing a champion like Sejuani, he could just charge in and push, but he's playing Blade of the Ruined King. He has no room to maneuver unless someone falls down on the field, and he watches his teammates fall one by one.

He even wished he could go directly onto his teammate's corpse.

unfortunately
This hero doesn't have this mechanic.

KT's place.

The players on the bench were completely exasperated. The biggest fear for an aggressive lineup is giving the opponent an advantage, because once the snowball starts, it will be followed by an even more intense wave, and then the snowball will continue.

That last wave was just a microcosm.

They had absolutely no way to deal with the Aatrox who flanked from behind; it's likely that the opening they created was a trap set by the enemy.

So let's continue.

What if the next wave begins and the other V5 players also start initiating team fights from various positions? How can a single Lena's ultimate ability possibly stop threats coming from all directions?

soon.

This scene was then witnessed on the field.

Having won a major team fight, V5's confidence was completely unleashed. Luo Ji even started building Bloodthirster as his third item. Aatrox with Bloodthirster, Black Cleaver, and Bloodthirster would become KT's nightmare in the mid-game. They couldn't kill him, couldn't win the fight, and were easily chased down.

The next few minutes were entirely V5's showtime.

It's either Rakan's initiation with a dragon, or Aatrox's solo flank and taunt, or a trinket ward or jungle monster suddenly transforming into Neeko and unleashing a barrage of skills like they're free.

Under such a strong attack that KT could hardly defend against or win against.

soon.

One team fight victory after another was displayed on the field, and V5 took advantage of the momentum to push forward, crushing everything in their path until finally, they destroyed KT's main crystal base in one fell swoop.

1:0
V5 is just one match away from advancing from the Swiss group stage.

"it's over!"

"V5 completely overwhelmed KT's base."

"They played incredibly well today. Everyone proved themselves with amazing performances on the court. I hope they can maintain this momentum and win their last match to reach the quarterfinals."

After a brief silence.

An orderly departure from the stadium and chaotic cheering occurred simultaneously.

For LCK viewers, they shouldn't have any expectations for KT today, but the glimmer of hope they still craved news of KT defeating V5.

Inadvertently.

That year, LCK fans, already under V5's dominance, began to genuinely fear V5's performance at Worlds, just as LPL viewers feared seeing T1 in the later stages of the World Championship.

At this moment.

Just like, at that moment.
