My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 484 I am not without options.

"Should we fight the dragon or retreat to town?"

"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"

"What about that one?"

At that moment, no one in KT dared to utter a sound.

In the LPL, a commander who gets angry would probably say something like, "Don't give up the base!"
Then just go for it.

No one dared to take the blame right now, but they all tacitly focused their damage on the elemental dragon, trying to lure the opposing four-man team to come and attack them.

If we can get the dragon and a quadra kill, then even if one lane of our high ground is destroyed...
Actually, it's still acceptable.

"Ignore them, we'll just harass them. We'll give up the dragon if necessary."

"Yes, FOFO, just lay the ball horizontally there. If they dare to engage, they'll get hit by your ultimate. If they want to retreat, we'll push forward. It's time to implement the classic sixteen-character strategy."

"My dream is still being dismantled, the vanguard has already crashed into the high ground, Ruler, if you see a few people, give vision, then find an angle to throw W."

Our goal is simple—no cavities (on our way back to the city)!

Unlike the confused KT.

V5's goal was very clear: to buy time for the top laner, and they were willing to give up the dragon and other advantages.

This wave of dragons is over.

With the enemy's high ground crumbling and Graves incredibly fed, coupled with super minions pulling them along, the enemy simply couldn't handle the fourth dragon.

As the damage is thrown.

The life of the KT-bound dragon is getting lower and lower.

4000
The defensive tower has been demolished.

3000
The clockwork QW combo was successfully completed.

1500
The excavator circled around and marked Taliyah's location. The V5 team subconsciously adjusted their positions to prevent Taliyah from using her ultimate to divide the terrain.

Until.

The final wail of the elemental dragon echoed from above the canyon.

"run!"

"Back to the city!"

"We can't keep pushing him!"

The moment the elemental dragon was killed, KT's top lane inhibitor crystal was also destroyed. The unguarded top lane appeared weak, pitiful, and helpless under the siege of the Rift Herald, minions, and Graves. The minions that had finally managed to emerge...

He was easily taken down by Graves with two auto-attacks and one Q.

In the minimap.

With less than 1000 HP remaining, the Vanguard even began to advance towards KT's inhibitor turret, a scene that completely panicked the KT players.

A boy's blush speaks louder than any sweet words.

Kiin immediately turned a corner into the bushes and pressed B. He had wanted to go back for a long time, but there was still a large V5 force in front of him. So he waited until the elemental dragon was about to be killed before he moved from the dragon pit to the top of the wall to try to return to town.

This line of thinking was correct at first.

unfortunately
[Visionary Transformation]

The moment the blue disposable eye accessory suddenly fell from the sky to his feet, all that remained in Kiin's eyes was utter despair.

W [Void Target Search]

A beam of purple light, approaching from afar, struck the Sword Demon with pinpoint accuracy, successfully stopping him from returning to base halfway.

"Chase!" X4
"Run!" X5
The real battle royale has begun.

If it weren't for the presence of a Vanguard and a Graves at home, KT would definitely have engaged V5 in this team fight, but the current situation is too awkward.

This wasn't even written in LCK's operational script. When the enemy top laner suddenly attacked their dragon, they directly stole the side lane from under their feet.

then.

Then a magical scene unfolded on the field.

They ran.

They chased after them.

They are trapped with them, unable to escape.

"boom!"

Another sound of a turret being destroyed echoed through the canyon. As the turret collapsed, the Rift Herald's health bar dropped to less than 100.

Even with only 100 HP, it managed to unleash its final attack once again!
Luo Ji, who was originally planning to run away, stopped running when he saw this and started frantically attacking the other turret that had been hit.

"My dream, run! They're coming for you!"

“It’s alright, I’ll just tear down another one of their towers.”

"Then you won't be able to escape."

"It's not that you can't escape."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ji shook his head violently.

After all, it was a four-on-five comeback, and they still had to be wary of being countered. There would always be a loophole for KT players to recall. At least Luo Ji had already seen Kiin's Aatrox appear in the fountain not far away, and even saw Taliyah use her ultimate to counterattack the high ground.

But he still showed no intention of running away.

"I am not without options."

"I still have one path: death!"

Under the despairing gazes of the KT members, and also under the expectant gazes of the commentators and viewers outside the live stream.

As the Graves landed another auto-attack.

The last high ground tower was also completely destroyed along with the basic attack.

KT_Kiin killed V5_Mebius
Male Gunner.

[Highland Dungeon] - Evacuation failed.

Ohhhh!!

[League of Legends is essentially a tower-destroying game. Congratulations to KT for another memorable moment at the World Championship.]

[V5 is so mean here, one or two of them are blocking KT from recalling, and Graves is just having a blast stealing... no, I mean, having a blast demolishing them!!!]

[Kiin: I can save the base from fire and water, but don't ask where that fire and water came from (doge)]

Desperate.

When the KT team finally made it back to their own high ground.

Looking at the central part, the exposed main crystal that seemed to be wearing "The Emperor's New Clothes," only a sense of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

Just a pioneer
Charge head-on into the high ground defense tower, high ground crystal, and two front teeth.

You son of a bitch. If you're so good at creating bases, why don't you just destroy their main base?

A quick breakthrough down the flank completely turned the tide of the game.

Normally.

The World Championship version shows that it is difficult for the top lane to support teammates in other lanes, which is why the understanding of major teams is similar to that of the bottom lane.

But after this wave passed...

The nature of the game has changed. Forget about controlling resources, they don't even dare to cross the river before the high ground crystal spawns.

They were afraid that the other side would sneak over and steal their main crystal.

The enemy is wary.

We are under no pressure.

What followed was naturally a one-sided attack and invasion.

wing.

BDD sighed.

In this game, he still managed to slightly suppress the opponent's mid laner through mid-jungle synergy. However, since Orianna is a Tier 0 champion in the competitive version, the advantage he could gain was extremely limited if the jungler didn't gank aggressively.

But why?
Why does our familiar top laner suddenly collapse like this during the game?

At the same time he was wondering.

In the jungle area separated by a wall, Graves, who had just come out of base, stealthily approached the wall. The super minions were too early, meaning that not everyone on KT could clear the super minion wave; either the AD carry or the mid laner would have to come.

Considering that the field of vision cannot be extended.

Now is the perfect time for BDD to use his skills to clear the wave.

But seizing this opening, just across the wall, Luo Ji's Graves suddenly used his E skill, not even immediately unleashing a standard combo.

But
He threw his W skill, Smoke Bomb, at maximum range.

BDD: ?
What do you mean?
He admitted that he was startled when the Graves suddenly appeared, but you don't have to just throw a smoke grenade in his face right away. Besides, at this distance, unless the opponent uses Flash to unleash a combo, he wouldn't have died instantly.

Just as he was thinking this.

Body.

It was then abruptly coated with a layer of Kasa's plasma.

W [Void Target Search]

Seal the cigarette first.

The lock was opened by letting smoke through.

Shooting games, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Immediately following was Kai'Sa's decisive activation of her ultimate ability, Hunter's Instinct. Even BDD himself didn't expect that he, who was supposed to be cooperating with his teammates to gank the side lanes, would actually be the one being ganked by the enemy AD and top laner in this game?
pity.

It's too late to figure it out now.

By the time KT members came to their senses, another kill notification was already coming from above the canyon.

V5_Ruler killed KT_BDD.

This is the end.

KT's rhythm completely collapsed.

A few minutes later, with a wave of attacks organized by V5, they completely surrendered the main crystal on the high ground.

1:0
V5, take the match point first.

[We've got it!]

[This game cracked me up. They paved the way for the bottom lane and the top laner was dominating. Should they pave the way for the top lane next game? That's Ruler for you.]

[It wasn't just the two lanes; Karsa also played a crucial role this game, effectively using his Listening Skill to mark the enemy's location throughout the entire match.]

[At this rate, let's go for 3-0, V5!]

The victory in the first match greatly excited LPL viewers watching on their screens.

This time.

Now it was the LCK viewers' turn to get anxious.

If it were a truly even match, they would accept it, but in this game, they felt V5 was completely toying with KT, so they went on a frantic explanation. If translated from Korean, it would most likely be:
"To be fair, if T1 is the pillar of LCK, then KT is probably the foundation."

Unlike the enthusiastic cheers of the live audience.

WBG here.

Danny subconsciously raised his chin and then spoke:

"In the first game, the most memorable moment for everyone should be the wave where they gave up the dragon and let Graves go to the top lane to split push the Rift Herald. This wave almost directly determined V5's victory."

"But this wave didn't come out of nowhere."

"When Graves reached the designated position, the top lane minion wave also pushed over, and when Aatrox arrived at the front, he was immediately pinged out by Karsa."

"In my opinion, this is more like a premeditated murder."

A strategic perspective!
If we only look at his online performance, TheShy can not only perfectly replicate it, but he might even do better in his God of War state.

But do you think TheShy might be able to find such an opportunity to steal the tower?

That.
High probability is not.

Because he didn't have Luo Ji's terrifying strategic vision, he immediately saw the approach that would make KT suffer the most.

and.

The most crucial point is that V5 had a red advantage over blue in this game.

With the blue side currently holding an almost 80% win rate in world championships, the red side's advantage over the blue side means that, barring any major mistakes, V5 will have the upper hand in the final game, even if it goes to five games.

The second game then.

Seemingly stunned by V5 in the first game, KT surprisingly deviated from LCK tradition and started playing fast-paced offense against V5 in the second game.

this.
This is a perfect match for my major.

Normally, they would have to figure out how to pull the opponent into their own rhythm and then defeat them with their rich experience.

But who would have thought.

KT got caught up in it themselves.

So in the second game, although it took longer than the first, they still managed to win against KT by playing steadily and surely.

2:0
Even KT themselves didn't expect it.

They were utterly crushed by V5 in BO1, and the same thing happened in BO5.
