My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 503 Advances to the Finals!

GENG's player stand.

After seeing one screen after another turn gray in front of me.

Not just Chovy.

Even the other members of the team lowered their eyes, and a trace of loneliness flashed in their eyes.

From the bottom of my heart.

The domineering belief born from the LCK's tyranny was momentarily shaken by the harsh reality.

“V5”

GENG Lounge

Coach Score muttered the name V5 to himself, his eyes flashing with resentment.

They are clear.

After getting past V5, a victory against T1 in the finals would be a sure thing, as they have too much experience playing against each other in their own league.

Especially playing T1
Even considering the level of hatred GENG harbors towards T1.

在原世界2024年的10月29日17:34分，还在韩网公开发表了一份【详细分析T1新视野概念】的文章。

Don't assume that everyone in LCK is as pure as Lee Sang-hyeok.

Many people are realistic.

As Beryl, the creator of Genshin Impact, said in an interview: "If I went to Worlds, I hope I would win the championship, but if I didn't go, I hope that my region would suffer a terrible defeat."

There's absolutely no need to pretend to be good buddies. If you get eliminated, you'll go straight home and won't practice with them for even a minute.

After a wave of attacks that was almost equivalent to a team wipe, the team was wiped out.

V5 unsurprisingly won the hand of the dragon.

By the fourth game.

Despite their efforts, GENG managed to disrupt the Vanguard's rhythm, but they still couldn't control the Velocidrome's tempo and could only watch helplessly as the Dragon Soul team attacked more than twenty minutes later.

Honestly, I'm starting to feel a bit overwhelmed.

[GENG is really going to be in trouble this time!]

[I always said Weiwei is a young man with drive and a fighting spirit.]

[!? Didn't some viewers in the last video chat say he was playing too aggressively and suggested he fly around the world on Pegasus? Why the sudden change of heart?]

[The last wave is the last wave, as for this wave? Returning to base is permitted!]

LPL viewers are ecstatic.

Everyone can see the situation clearly. At this point in the game, Aatrox Kalista is strong. Even though Kalista is being targeted in various ways and hasn't gotten a single kill, she can't help it by getting assists and dominating map resources.

Add to that a super fed Yasuo.

The next wave of fighting is about to begin.

I really don't know how Draven can maneuver in team fights to break free from V5's charge.

"Haoxuan (Karsa), looking at him shining brightly on the field, do you think of your own past?"

lounge.

Nofe teased Casa, who was standing next to him, with great interest.

From God's perspective, they are undoubtedly getting closer and closer to the World Championship finals, seemingly following an easy path.

Can be biased.

In this room, there is a player who knows the weight of this honor.

As an ordinary professional player, Karsa in his previous life never managed to reach the World Championship finals of the S-series.

This life.

Even with Luo Ji acting as the butterfly to stir up the plot, it still took him a full eight years.

Seeing Weiwei reach the semifinals and even the finals of the World Championship after only one year with V5, it's impossible not to feel envious.

"I do remember."

Kasa smiled; he understood a lot from Nofe's eyes.

That's how brutal esports is.

Choose (Luck) > Talent > Effort > Other

He played against T1 last year. Last year at the World Championship, T1 had to come up with many unexpected strategies to barely defeat their opponents. This year, T1 is keeping the original roster again.

no doubt.

This year's T1 will only be more terrifying than last year's.

In the worst-case scenario, playing a full best-of-five series is impossible with Weiwei alone.

In a best-of-five series, a young player's strategy can be figured out in just two or three rounds, which means he has to step up and hold out for two or three rounds.

but
After all, he was someone I had personally mentored.

Perhaps helping to protect other people's youth is the last meaning that this old man, Deng, still has left on the court.

in the screen.

V5's offensive round.

After taking down the Dragon, GENG's outer tower fell, followed by V5's full-scale invasion of vision control.

Until now.

The advantages of a large tree begin to come into play.

They gradually explored and captured points using the tree's scouts, and then the entire team followed up methodically to place wards, further restricting GENG's development space.

This puts pressure on you.

Since GENG already has three carry players, one of them had to be assigned to take the most dangerous side lane. Dolan, with a bitter face, silently accepted the assignment.

He was at a loss.

He couldn't win, but he didn't feed. However, in the last wave, all his teammates died except for him. He could already imagine how Korean netizens would criticize him after the match.

He regretted it the moment he thought about it.

I should have died in the last team fight too.

just.

He had only just started pushing outwards with the minion wave, and hadn't even pushed it to the river's spawn point yet, but on the minimap, his teammates' miss signals were already almost filling his screen.

But is it useful?

No!

He could only see Yasuo suddenly appear on the minion wave, and in the jungle he could see Maokai and Aatrox getting close.

V5's mid, top, and jungle synergy.

They gathered around him in an instant and then began a righteous 3v1.

V5_Mebius killed GENG_Doran
"This Graves is practically useless now, right?"

“It’s really useless.”

Luo Ji nodded.

Said before.

Graves relies on his laning advantage to overwhelm his opponents with items, which allows him to barely hold his own in team fights or put pressure on the split pushers. However, the current Doran's Blade is weak in lane and unable to hold its own in team fights.

You can only try to take advantage of opportunities to mash the keyboard to increase your damage output, but you definitely can't just go for face-to-face attacks.

The huge gap brought about by operations.

Even with the final Dragon Soul Dragon, GENG could only watch helplessly and choose to give up. As soon as the four dragons were assembled, V5's Electric Dragon Soul was immediately triggered and activated.

41!

The moment he obtained the Dragon Soul, he did not continue to pursue Baron Nash.

We already have a significant advantage. Taking Baron Nashor would give the opponent an opportunity, so we should just push with a 4-1 formation.

Yasuo, who had the biggest advantage, continued to dominate the sidelines, while the other four V5 players began to apply pressure from the mid-lane.

This operational strategy, so familiar to LCK players, has now been perfectly replicated back onto them.

"There's only one chance."

"Chovy, go and give it a try. If you don't get a chance, you can just kick him out."

One Graves alone couldn't stop Yasuo's push, and after the previous defeat, Chovy had fallen into a semi-reclusive state.

That's how it is with the left and right hands.

They might be able to step up in crucial games, but it's also unlikely that they will.

Him now.

They have become mere tools under the command of the government.

Without a second thought, he followed them to the bottom lane to pick up the enemy.

When he arrived, Luo Ji was already controlling Yasuo, under GENG's turret, attacking the turret while happily using his E skill to push Doran's Graves in front of the turret to clear the minion wave.

Until they discovered Silas was coming.

After a horizontal E, following the minions in the back, before retreating, a Q3 was casually unleashed.

Chovy frowned and instinctively used her E skill to dodge.

But he didn't notice.

When Luo Ji threw his Q3, it was in a straight line with him and Doran's Graves.

Chovy managed to dodge with quick reflexes, but Graves, who was not far behind her, was successfully lifted up by Q3's whirlwind at the extreme distance.

wrong!

Almost instinctively, Chovy threw his second E towards the spot where Graves had been knocked away.

This is a kind of prediction among experts.

He keenly sensed that Yasuo might use this extremely long-range Q to fly in and follow up with his ultimate. If his prediction was correct...

That.
Perhaps, they might also be able to kill each other.

pity.

This time, his expert radar failed.

If Q3 knocked up Sylas, Luo Ji would naturally use his ultimate to catch him without hesitation. But what if it only knocked up Graves?
Then there's only one option.

"My soul is captivated by the vicissitudes of life."

Instead of retreating, Yasuo, who had just E out of their turret's attack range, slipped back in a moment later, under Chovy's incredulous gaze.

that moment.

The high ground of GENG no longer seemed to be their high ground, but rather the dragon fish pond where Luo Ji controlled Yasuo.

"So fast!"

Chovy saw it again; the white flash danced on the minion wave, and in just a moment, it successfully E'd to his side and unleashed its Q skill.

Then E, using him as a springboard to move forward.

Keep using EQ Graves to push forward!

Just a few seconds ago, Yasuo was outside the tower, but now he has E directly into GENG's high ground, even closer to their inhibitor than Graves and Sylas. He's on the move!

"Holy crap, bro!!!"

"Wait for me, brother, don't be impulsive!"

"Can you come out? Come out for a bit, let's go all out, we're almost done pushing down their inhibitor tower in the mid lane."

"Holy crap, Vi seems to have passed away."

In the headset.

His teammates' hurried voices were a bit noisy, but Luo Ji still managed to hear two pieces of information clearly.

To take a gamble and...
NIO is here.

His extraordinary vision allowed him to immediately observe Peanut and Vi's charging approach. After activating Wind Wall and engaging Graves in a series of basic attacks, he once again predictively threw out a whirlwind with Q3.

run?
In this wave, only those who face death can survive!

Commentary seat.

The colonel's passionate tone completely captivated the audience, drawing them into Yasuo's performance.

“Mebius!~”

"Mebius charged into the GENG highlands alone, fighting two opponents at once, he was like a dragon in flight!!!"

“GENG’s mid lane has also welcomed V5’s main force, but it seems like the bottom lane is going to collapse first.”

"Peanut's Vi came to support them; they want to deal with Yasuo first."

"Wait, what's with this wind!?"

From God's perspective.

As Peanut's Vi charged towards the bottom lane with a powerful punch, frantically marking Luo Ji's Yasuo, in his vision, Yasuo, who was hovering near the dragon, suddenly shot out with a gust of wind, if he wasn't mistaken.

That gust of wind
It seems to be directly facing the spot where I landed after my displacement!
How can this be! ?
"Crack~"

When Gale arrived with his trump card, in Peanut's vision, Yasuo, who was next to Graves Sylas just a second ago, suddenly appeared beside him in a flash.

R [Whirlwind Slash]!
"A flute and a sword are my life's companions, yet I have borne the burden of my arrogance for fifteen years."

This.

It's a personal showcase exclusively for the Wind Swordsman!

"madman."

"This guy is just a lunatic."

Chovy grumbled and cursed, but her hands didn't slow down at all as she continued to steal Yasuo's ultimate ability.

As long as Vi lands and uses her ultimate to knock her up, you can follow up with your ultimate as quickly as possible, it's just that it takes a little longer.

Just as he was thinking this.

on the map.

A new wave of minions began to emerge from GENG's side, like water without roots, giving Yasuo, who had activated his ultimate, a new lease on life in a desperate situation. The GENG team was so excited they almost burst.

How could it be such a perfect coincidence?!

Why did it have to be such a perfect coincidence?!

Was this also part of your calculations?
After landing.

It was Yasuo's E-sliding movement and Vi's ultimate lock-on, a first for viewers, that created a memorable scene where Yasuo flew in front and Vi's ultimate chased after him.

Chovy tried to get closer, not exceeding the detection range of her ultimate, but just as Vi was about to lock onto Yasuo with her ultimate.

"Ding!"

The sudden appearance of the golden statuette left both Peanut and Chovy completely stunned.

Stopwatch!

How could they forget the stopwatch?
Of course, given the division of labor among professional players, Chovy and Delight, the team's support player, had actually seen Yasuo's equipment when he first appeared, but they didn't take it seriously at the time.

Just a few watches.

While it can sometimes work wonders, other times it just wastes hundreds of dollars.

Who the hell could have imagined this?

The man actually charged up to their high ground and used a stopwatch to save his life!
Immune to damage and untargetable for 2.5 seconds.

What can you do in 2.5 seconds?
Being able to play basketball, pay tribute to the leader, and of course, what I can do even more is wait for the V5 team to advance bravely.

FOFO and the others have gone mad.

His own teammate, on the enemy's high ground, swam all the way from the bottom lane high ground turret to the top of the enemy's high ground, single-handedly disrupting and delaying GENG for most of the ten seconds.

To them.

What's the difference between this and seeing a political commissar leading the charge towards the enemy's position?
That morale.

It came up with a creaking sound.

That despicable GENG! They're nothing but a bunch of losers who got chased and beaten in the last team fight, yet they dare to bark and howl in front of their leader!?
Here comes the knife!
FOFO took the lead, barking "Da me!" and charging straight past GENG's high ground defense tower.

Weiwei thought this wouldn't do.

Trying to steal credit for saving the day from your buddy, huh? I never expected you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so eager to curry favor in a crucial moment.

So the ultimate move was unleashed.

Rush!
If you charge, I'll charge too!
Jwei remained remarkably calm. He knew that even with Senna's charge, he couldn't outrun the two warriors in the mid and jungle, so he simply activated the fog of war and kept his finger hovering over his ultimate ability.

No matter how fast a person is, can they be faster than a gun?
Others use crowd control to control others when they get up, but he uses a shield to protect himself when he gets up. That's true loyalty!
to the end.

Ruler was even surprised to find that he was the slowest one in the team to charge in, so much so that he was inexplicably hit by a turret after the rest of the team had charged in.

Another AD carry capable of tanking towers has joined the ranks.

The entire highlands of GENG were a complete testament to what chaos and disorder truly meant.

GENG, which already had a huge economic disadvantage against V5, was further weakened by the dispersed lineup and was picked off one by one by the enraged V5 forces.

One kill notification after another rang out on the battlefield.

Until.

When the final sound of the crystal shattering rang in his ears, Chvoy paused for a moment before abruptly looking up at the scoreboard on the big screen.

For an instant.

He looked complicated.

He opened his mouth in surprise.

But when the words came to his lips, he fell silent and swallowed them back.
