My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 499 The way you're walking towards me makes me restless.
"Yasuo counters Graves?"

“Interesting. This line of thinking is not too different from what we initially thought.”

V5's last two moves truly stunned T1 as a spectator. It wasn't that they hadn't thought of it, but rather that they had, and Zeus had indeed practiced it. However, Mebius had brought it out earlier.

During the 21 World Championship.

Khan picked Yasuo top lane to counter Graves with the stun gun.

This hand.

It's possible that he learned his lesson from the prison gun and then told Luo Ji.

One level.

The two sides engaged in a probing clash in the lower half of the river.

GENG really wanted to invade and help Vi establish vision. Peanut was under a lot of pressure this game. In all three lanes, except for the bot lane matchup which might be even, the other two lanes were at a disadvantage.

If the jungler can gank the enemy team's early game.

That match was barely playable.

If we can't catch them.

If it comes down to pure strategy, he's essentially stuck in the lower half of the bracket.

But you want to come in?
V5 definitely wouldn't give it a chance. A level 1 Maokai + Kalista + Senna equals vision + damage + healing, without any hesitation, and they didn't give the enemy a chance to invade and place wards.

Instead, it's been delayed like this.

GENG's early jungle plans were completely exposed to V5.

Chovy finally decided to influence his teammates, and during the struggle, he secretly placed his only ward in the F6 area.

"Are you forcing me to clear the jungle?"

"Go ahead and catch him. Knowing he has an eye on this place gives me peace of mind."

It still scrolls from top to bottom.

In this game, V5 continued their strategy of 1v1 solo play in the top lane and 4v4 chaotic team fights in the bottom half of the map. They didn't believe that the opponent would not go if they picked Draven jungle. If they really played like that, V5 would actually be quite happy.

One level.

Luo Ji went straight to the lane and saw the enemy top laner Graves who had also come online.

Perhaps it was because of the fried dough.

The approaching male gunman actually made him feel a little restless.

But he held back.

If you're only level one, just stick to farming minions.

Dolan was clearly wary of Yasuo. He had practiced Graves, but he had barely encountered Graves against Yasuo in ranked games, let alone practiced laning against him specifically.

Without knowing exactly how the opponent will play.

Dolan could only try to be as conservative as possible.

Then it is
"Crack~"

The third Q successfully blew up the wind. Perhaps it was the familiarity brought by the first game with Yone. The two brothers' Q3 knock-up was the same in different ways. Luo Ji found that he could predict the opponent's movement with his Q3 with almost no pressure.

and.

Every time Luo Ji pushed forward and used his Q ability, he deliberately positioned himself behind the minion wave.

It's not to block a basic attack.

It was to deceive the enemy Graves, making him use his Q to push the lane. Once the lane came over, he would have the initiative from level two onwards.

however.

No matter how he tried to deceive them, the other party showed no intention of exchanging Q.

"You studied E?"

"Or did you not allocate any skill points at all?"

Luo Ji was a little confused, but after seeing that his experience bar was one soldier away from reaching level two, and that his passive shield was fully charged.

A flat A.

upgrade.

E [Step Forward Slash]!
Soldier E, using a dash to greedily land a basic attack.

EQA chased after Doran's Graves, and then just as Graves leveled up and created distance to use Q, she E'd back to the minion behind her, only taking the damage from the first part of Graves' Q.

Pull it back.

After gradually lowering Dolan's guard.

Continue using E to advance towards the minion, then use AQ on the Graves to bait out his E skill while simultaneously using E to retreat from the minion.

Dragon Soaring!

Pure dragon swimming~
The damage was minimal, but the initiative was on a completely different level compared to previous matches.

This wasn't an advantage from the counter, but rather a threat from Lethal Tempo. Doran didn't dare to stop, because if he did, he would be chased and auto-attacked by Lethal Tempo Yasuo.

But once you pull it open...

The enemy can easily retreat with their minions.

If it were the mid lane, it would be fine, but the top lane is so long. If the minion wave is close to the V5 turret, there will be enough minions. In this wave, Yasuo might even be able to chase down Graves and force him to use Flash.

"Piñata".

"what?"

Upon suddenly hearing the sound of someone coming from the road, Peanut instinctively responded.

"I need your help."

"?"

He glanced at the minimap subconsciously; the time in the upper right corner was less than three minutes. At this point, the top laner was already stunning himself.
Take another look and hit the road.

Good guy.

Yasuo is already putting pressure on my health. Is the counter in the top lane really that obvious, bro?

"Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll be right around the corner."

"Brothers!"

Dolan's eyes lit up, and he actually believed Piñata's suggestion of a different route, since he was indeed in the upper half of the bracket at that moment.

But Peanut had no intention of setting off on the road.

After clearing the top half of the jungle, he saw that the F6 ward Chovy had placed for him at level one was still there, and roughly determined that Maokai had also started in the top half of the jungle. So he decisively chose to invade V5's bottom half of the jungle, and also moved towards the mid lane to prevent Chovy from being caught.

"Has the Piñata arrived yet?"

The commentator, watching Peanut's movements, was somewhat amazed by the opponent's decisiveness.

After pinging out the approximate location of the tree, I decided to gamble on invading the jungle to create a time difference, using the movement of my Q skill to travel quickly, hoping to steal the tree's red buff.

That was a truly exquisite move.

But Weiwei isn't stupid. Even though he doesn't have information about the enemy jungler, his own top laner is already pressuring the enemy like this, so why isn't the enemy going to gank Yasuo?

That leaves Peanut with very few options.

Arrest them?

The timing was wrong; the bottom lane minions were healthy, and a strong gank would only result in some damage.

Catch the middle?

Sword Demon has Flash and is a warrior, so he has a certain ability to resist. If he gets caught in the middle, he can definitely withstand the attack and go to support.

That leaves only the jungle.

Both teams pinged the hand signal, but the difference was that this signal pinged their own red buff. Just as all the teams studied V5, V5 also studied all the teams in the LCK.

Not a single moment was wasted.

When the tree reached its red buff location, the red buff was indeed gone from the pit.

Continue walking into the bushes.

Upon arriving there, we just happened to see the red buff monster that Vi had pulled inside, with only 700 HP left.

So fast!

Pinat hesitated for a moment.

He was debating whether to contest the red buff with the Tree of Souls, but the Tree of Souls' three crowd control abilities made him hesitant, and he ultimately chose to give up.

And while retreating, they successfully fired the searchlight that had not been destroyed before.

As the searchlight swept across.

Final confirmation.

The red buff was indeed not under V5's vision control. The fact that the opponent was able to come back to defend was purely due to their awareness or sheer luck. However, it was somewhat unexpected for Piñata to see that V5 only had vision control in the tri-bush in the bottom lane.

at this time.

He was faced with two options:
Go back to the jungle to farm, or simply circle around and gank the bottom lane!

What else are you thinking about?
He wasn't the type of jungler who would scavenge for kills, so he chose the latter almost without hesitation. Coincidentally, the bottom lane minion wave was V5's push wave, and Draven also needed kills, so he continued to take advantage of this time difference to gank V5's bottom lane.

"Piñata is still as fast-paced as ever."

As Zitai was still reminiscing in his live stream, a familiar voice, usually quiet, suddenly reached his ears:
"Really? I don't believe it."

He glanced at the profile picture of the person who spoke and realized that it was Wolf Walker, who seemed honest but was actually honest.

Oh.

This guy seems to have really been let down by Peanut at the World Championship.

after all
The scene where S10 was leading the opponent by a single Mask of Pain is indeed too unforgettable.

Peanut's change of pace.

This was indeed unexpected by Ruler and Jwei.

Damn it, we just ran into our jungler in the jungle, and he didn't get the red buff. Instead of going back to the jungle to farm, you came to gank bot lane?

Ok.

There really is a chance.

Upon seeing Vi emerge from the bushes, Jwei immediately activated his E skill, Fog of War. Peyz and Delight, knowing the opportunity was not to be missed, decisively used Flash to advance with Draven.

E [A sharp axe to clear the way!]
With a single E skill, Ruler was forced to use Flash.

opportunity!

Peanut decisively followed up with a Q-flash, successfully hitting Ruler's Kalista a little in front of the tower, allowing Lena to follow up with her skill.

Can't run.

Three people were using their skills on him, and even with his ultimate ability, Ruler couldn't escape. However, he managed to force his way into the turret's range using his limited skills.

finally.

After Vi forced her way into the tower to deal damage, leaving the opponent with low health, Draven finished her off with a single axe strike, and Ruler also secured the kill perfectly.

GENG_Peyz killed V5_Ruler
See this.

Peanut, relieved, was about to leave the tower, but his eyes were still fixed on Senna, who hadn't used her W skill at all.

He was wondering if he should just wait for him there.

result.

He didn't get Senna's W, but he did get Maokai's Flash Q.

Flash Q knocks back through the wall.

Vi, who was about to successfully leave the tower, was delayed by a second. In that second, the tower fired another basic attack directly at Vi, and Jwei made a timely move, but did not use his W [Endless Bond] on Vi.

Instead, it was given to the opposing Draven who had used Flash.

W is attached.

After knocking Vi back with his Q, the tree used his W to bind Draven.

E skill tree son throws away.

The perfect coordination between the jungler and support not only allowed Vi to withstand some of the turret damage, but also kept Peyz's Draven firmly under control.

Finished!

The red buff that was stolen earlier became the key to Weiwei's ability to support the bottom lane. Jwei deliberately held back his skills, which became the biggest trump card against GENG's bottom, jungle, and support at this moment.

Delight is also a Muggle.

In this situation, his "timely rescue" can only be given to the AD carry, not the jungler.

then.

V5_Jwei killed GENG_Peanut
and.

Despite Draven's timely rescue by the support's abilities and passive healing from the red buff, he ultimately failed to trade kills with either of V5's jungler or support before dying.

V5_Jwei killed GENG_Peyz
Double Kill!

A series of speed changes led to a perfect 1-for-2 trade for V5.

The sky is falling.
