My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 483 The Thirty-Six Stratagems - Feinting to the East While Attacking in the West

When Luo Ji returned to the internet.

Despite having a huge fortune, he had already converted all his wealth into Stormbreakers.

Version 13.18.

The Stormrazor now grants 55 attack damage on top of the original 50, keeping the total value the same. Combined with 15% attack speed and 20% critical strike chance, it becomes an extremely cost-effective item for top lane Graves.

(PS: Graves needs attack speed to play smoothly; without attack speed, he'll easily get stuck.)

If attack speed is not provided.

With some runes and a dragon, it'll be passable.

of course.

The key to Stormrazor lies in its active effect, which provides additional damage and 45% movement speed for 1 second.

Correct!
It refers to movement speed.

For a short-ranged fighter-type AD like Graves, this extra movement speed allows him to better kite various fighter champions and more easily chase down enemies and eliminate backline targets.

Compared to Luo Ji's Stormbreaker Cloth Shoes.

Kiin's outfit—cloth armor boots plus a bunch of miscellaneous pieces of equipment—looked extremely pitiful.

"We can't let them get the second striker position."

Cuzz immediately made the decision.

But who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, the top lane outer turret, which was already on the verge of collapse, suddenly crumbled, and the gold from the first turret fell back on Graves.

The KT members' faces darkened.

Less than 14 minutes.

The outer turret in the top lane fell, and judging from the CS, Aatrox had more than 30 fewer CS than Graves. His items were Stormrazor and daggers. I don't know how others felt.

But KT's bot laner Aiming felt a chill run down his spine.

Very meow.

With the top laner so fed, won't the bottom laner be the one who suffers in the end?
Velociraptor!

We need a Swift Dragon!

Since KT's bot lane had lane priority, Cuzz arrived at the river immediately when the second elemental dragon spawned. In contrast, Karsa completely gave up on contesting it and instead continued to bet on the top lane.

The outer tower fell.

This means that KT has completely opened up vision in the upper jungle.

With just one ward, it's no match for the enemy jungler's ganks. FOFO understands perfectly well what his jungler's route is like.

Push the mid lane minions forward when the time is right.

Then he pretended to go to the top side of the river to place a ward. It was this fake warding action that made BDD relax his vigilance towards the top lane a little.

You've even gone to the river to place wards.

That at least means that excavators are unlikely to come from here in the short term.

can only say.

His ingrained mindset ruined him.

Oh, no, it's his teammates.

"Can it be killed?"

"If you can control it, you can kill it."

Casa looked up in surprise.

"So confident?"

"Don't conserve your skills, just control the center and kill at will."

Hearing Luo Ji boast like that, Kasa naturally felt more confident.

Hit the road.

Kiin was already pitifully waiting for the minion wave under the second tower when, just as Graves brought the minion wave in, Karsa's Rek'Sai brazenly dug a tunnel through from the other side of the wall.

Their target was clearly the Sword Demon, without any attempt to conceal it.

"They caught him?"

BDD reads the minimap information immediately.

His subconscious instinct was to move closer to the top lane, but FOFO had been watching his movements the whole time, and the moment he saw Taliyah trying to retreat.

It's in my hand.

Q+W+R, [Command: Shockwave] – unleash it without hesitation!

Even BDD didn't expect that.

The opponent reacted so quickly; they had only taken two steps back when they were instantly pulled back by Orianna's ultimate.

"It happened."

Often, opportunities are fleeting.

If it weren't for the delay caused by Clockwork, he could have rushed over and taken down the excavator carrying the tower immediately. But since he was stopped...

That.
W [emerging from the ground]

That's what makes the excavator so annoying. If you openly gank, that W skill is almost impossible to dodge, especially since Karsa used W-Flash this time to avoid wasting his skill.

Knocked straight away!

"Well come."

Luo Ji's eyes lit up.

Karsa's gank angle was excellent. Although he ganked by digging a tunnel through the wall, his tunnel landed behind KT's defensive tower.

This landing point.

While blocking the sword demon's retreat path, it also gives the opponent the feeling that it is very close, which will make them think that they will pull away in the opposite direction.

Kiin is indeed like that.

Looking at the excavator's location, wanting to create some distance, he even walked in the opposite direction, towards the outside of the tower, towards Luo Ji's location.

This forces Karsa to use W-Flash to avoid Aatrox's control and then control Aatrox.

却.
same.

This gives Graves the ability to easily reach Aatrox's attack range without having to use Flash.

Luo Ji felt comfortable in just two words.

Karsa's jungling style is like this: he may not be able to make the opposing jungler uncomfortable, but he can definitely make his teammates feel comfortable playing the game.

Since the distance is sufficient.

That!
Graves is a rather unique champion. While other champions chain skills into auto-attacks, Graves' auto-attacks into skills are much smoother. Of course, combos don't always have to be formulaic; with practice, you can adapt to different situations.

It's not that formulaic approaches are bad.

Conversely, players who execute formulaic combos will press the buttons more smoothly.

AW (Automatic Analysis) is used a lot. QA (Quality Assurance) is also widely used.

Everyone knows how to cancel the reload animation after firing two normal attacks and then using the ER.

then!

AWQAERA
Combining the three combos mentioned above, and automatically following up with a basic attack after canceling the single-target swap animation with the E skill, results in the visual effect on the screen.

This only refers to the short period of time from when the excavator was thrown into the air to when it landed.

Graves had already finished his combo by mashing the keyboard in front of Aatrox, and Kiin only realized what was happening when he used Flash to try and save his life.

in front of the screen.

He had already flashed away and died instantly when Graves' last auto-attack caused a black screen.

V5_Mebius killed KT_Kiin
Narration:?
audience:?
KT players: ? ? ?
No!

What?! It just flashed by and my huge sword demon was gone in an instant?!
Many people swallowed hard.

In terms of gameplay alone, many Graves pros, and even the Graves combos in highlight reels, are just as impressive as this scene. In fact, adding some classic "body odor" background music would make the video even more captivating.

but.
This is the World Championship!

Despite the pressure of being watched by audiences worldwide and competing against top players of the same caliber, he was still able to deliver such a visually stunning combo.

monster!

【666666】

[Hey you, bring T1 up here! I told you to bring T1 up here!]

[Eye: I understand! / Hand: You don't know anything!]

I just watch it each time, and then I don't practice it. Raise your hand if you're like me.

For LPL viewers, whose majority are Silver rank or above, these cool combos are just something to look at and forget. Most players don't even know where custom games are, let alone practice combos. They prefer mindless brawls.

We really need to make them learn.

It can only be that.
This is offense, this is defense, this is Genichiro Ashina.

The Sword Demon died like that.

Karsa, who had thought he would have to withstand at least two more hits from the turret, happily left the turret. Just as he stepped out of the turret's range, another old man turned back and started taking down KT's second top turret with Luo Ji.

pressure!

Immense pressure.

In the current version, most teams rely on bottom lane priority to initiate the game's tempo.

But a team like V5, where the top laner single-handedly gains an advantage and then extends that advantage to the rest of the team, is something that even the viewers say they've rarely seen, let alone the players.

When KT finally managed to get back on defense.

Go up to the second tower.

Its health points were also already on the verge of collapse.

"I'll come up."

"I'm coming up too!"

See this.

Ruler and Jwei instantly came up with a winning strategy: Top lane is the boss, the boss is in the top lane, there's a top lane boss!
You're saying KT already has two elemental dragons?

Don't mention two points.

If we can give Graves in the top lane a little more advantage, I'd give you the third dragon without a problem.

KT, on the other hand, is having a real headache.

They didn't have a clearly defined front line to begin with, and now the Sword Demon, who was originally envisioned as half a front line, has completely fallen apart.

That.
They had no choice but to let the second vanguard go.

"The strategy is very clear. If I'm not mistaken, V5 will release the third elemental dragon later, allowing Graves to enjoy it solo."

"Huh? Is that how you play it?"

The Emperor of the Lamp stared blankly at the Tiger of the Cage who was speaking.

Actually.

The Graves top lane matchup against Aatrox was also part of Danny's plan. TheShy had also secretly practiced it, thinking it could be used as a secret weapon to trick people. However, Mebius reacted even faster than them.

"As expected of a version researcher."

Danny sighed unconsciously.

I don't know.

This is actually a plagiarist from another world, except that while others plagiarize from parallel worlds, he adds a timeline paradox to his plagiarism.

Until one minute before the third elemental dragon spawns.

V5 still hasn't released their second vanguard, leading BDD and others to predict that the opponent will release it in the mid lane at the last minute, then switch to the elemental dragon to engage them in team fights.

Thinking of this.

Lehends then made their vision control even more solid, and in order to prevent the Raptors' rhythm from being interrupted, they even moved Kiin from the side lane to the front.

I thought that this would make everything foolproof.

But I never thought about it.

Luo Ji wasn't in the bottom half of the map at all. Instead, he led the vanguard all the way to KT's jungle, close to the enemy's high and low turrets.

Because Kiin was turned to face up.

now.

The minion wave naturally pushed towards the KT turret, waiting for him to summon the Vanguard card at its maximum time.

Watching the minion wave push into the top lane tower.

Luo Ji simply used his E skill to slide and then did two basic attacks, and a notification flashed on the screen that the turret had been destroyed.

And the vanguard that was just summoned.

Because their initial target (the second top turret) disappeared, they began to shift their focus to their next target—the top lane inhibitor turret.
"He's not facing forward?"

"He's going to destroy the tower! He's going to destroy our high ground! He's used his vanguard."

"Back to town, back to town, back to town, no, get the dragon, eh, no no no no, eh, right right right right right."

"The enemy is pressing forward head-on now!"

this moment.

The KT players' bench was filled with a cacophony of voice chatter.

Before them was the newly spawned elemental dragon, and in front of them were the four members of V5 – mid, bot, jungle, and support – eyeing them menacingly. On the top lane, the Rift Herald and Graves were sharpening their knives at their own top lane high ground.

Trying to handle two things in a single thread is CPU overload.

But if you let a single thread handle three things, it'll explode!
This move.

It's called—Feint to the East, Attack in the West!
