My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 512 Middle Age: A Man's Choice

Wow!!! This top, mid, and jungle combo is amazing!

"V5 executed a perfect teamwork, FOFO is still in pursuit, and Vigus's Sorrowful Strike is like a hunting talisman, hitting wherever it's pointed."

"The trio's teamwork is so seamless, and Mebius's intuition for initiating team fights is even more acute. It's like cadres going down to the grassroots level; they're truly a great role model among ordinary people!"

"This Jax has political influence!"

to the end.

Even Ji De couldn't resist making jokes.

Of course, Wang Duoduo should be the one to use this meme, because he really was tormented by the Asian Games, but he's not here, so let's just take it as a reference.

【666666】

[5 against 3 and got 4 killed? You can have this game, I'm done, trash teammate.]

[My heart aches for Kobe. Their opponents are from the LPL, and their teammates are from the KCL (LCK CL, the secondary league of the LCK).]

[FOFO has really made something of himself, showing off a memorable moment in front of Faker.]

Anyone with eyesight can see it.

FOFO's Vigus ultimate skill hits every time because he hits stationary targets most of the time, but that's not important. What's important is that he hits them.

Chinese people have always judged heroes by results, not by the process.

This wave.

Even the King of Heaven himself is a genius.

"V5 should have won the first game."

"Yes."

Ever since he found out that Dani was sitting behind him, Abu had Prisoner switch seats with Dani and move him to sit next to him.

Discussing things with athletes from a coach's perspective is instruction, but when two coaches sit together, it becomes an academic discussion.

Even the prison gun has something to say.

I was here first, whether it was buying a ticket, being invited to watch the game, or discussing the match together.
But I haven't finished yet.

He was killed beforehand by Abu Dang, a white supremacist.

There's no way around it.

Seeing how enthusiastically this guy was discussing things with Dani, Lao Qiang, who didn't quite understand and didn't want to understand, decisively chose to switch places. If he couldn't afford to offend him, he could at least avoid him.

on the screen.

Just as they had predicted.

After this team fight, T1 completely lost the chance to compete with V5 for victory. With a huge advantage, Ashe and Rek'Sai, it was already equivalent to "fully opening the map". In addition, the split pusher Jax had slowly farmed and developed.

T1 is currently unable to win team fights or split pushes; their lineup leaves LCK viewers wondering how they can possibly win.

At once.
Uzi Bible is still making a strong impact.

Towards the end, Ruler had such a huge advantage that he used Flash + R to control the enemy, forcing T1 to run all over the map until they finally had nowhere to run and launched a suicidal charge against V5.

This allowed FOFO and others to rack up a huge KDA.

With a loud explosion from the main crystal.

1:0
V5, in just the first game of the BO5 series, used a surprising strategy.

Red breaks through blue, the stalemate is broken!

The first victory in the first game filled the entire LPL region with enthusiasm.

Before the game.

People were genuinely worried about whether V5 could hold their own against the current T1. After all, no team had ever forced T1 to play at full strength throughout the World Championship, and T1's roster was visibly stronger than V5's.

But in reality.

They realized they had underestimated Mebius.

If you said Nofe came up with this lineup, no one would believe you.

Who doesn't know Nofe?
This guy was the one who caused Lu San to kneel back then, and the pigs' fans said they would remember that draft pick for the rest of their lives.

It is precisely this kind of underworld BP.

This only makes Mebius seem even more sinister.

That makes sense. Tiga was also known as the embodiment of light, but he turned out to be utterly gloomy.
reasonable.

That makes perfect sense.

However, such a "sneak attack" as in the first game can only work once for T1. In the second game, T1, who continued to choose the blue side after losing, quickly adjusted their strategy.

V5's plan is to continue giving you mid-lane champions like Azir and Orianna, forcing Faker to play scaling champions, and then accelerate the early to mid-game like in the first game.

Unfortunately, Kouma wasn't fooled.

They ban Orianna, give you Azir, and then pick an Akali and Lee Sin combo for their mid and jungle.

T1 speeds up.

V5's mid and jungle players immediately couldn't handle it.

Despite Luo Ji's desperate attempts to salvage the situation, T1's snowballing ability was in no way inferior to theirs. After the mid and jungle players got going, V5's team fights were a cycle of repeated initiations and defeats.

Those who know this are playing League of Legends.

If you didn't know better, you'd think this was a cosplay of Liu Bei before he invited Zhuge Liang to join him.

finally.

1:1
The score was tied immediately.

[It all comes down to hard power.]

[The blue side has an advantage, that's one thing, but the synergy between Faker and Oner is just stronger than that between Karsa and FOFO. What's wrong with Faker? He's 27 and still playing so well?]

Keria roamed frequently this game, and every T1 player had highlights in the second game.

Trust V5, okay? Just trust it first.

The sudden comeback shattered the excitement that LPL had only recently risen to prominence.

Yes.

This is a T1.
Even though V5 did defeat T1 last year, everyone knows exactly how they won, so saying it was due to sheer strength is a bit of an exaggeration.

Most likely, it's because T1 simply can't keep up with V5's strategy. But this year...

Can V5 still have so many tricks up its sleeve?

now.

What the audience doesn't know is...

In T1's rest room, Koma and Bengi, who had won the game, were not in a good mood because they did not perform as expected in the second game.

"The V5's rapid coordination was not evident in the first two games."

"Is it meant to be a final, powerful move? But if so, why reveal it when fighting those other teams earlier?"

"deterrence?"

"If that's the case, then they have indeed succeeded."

The family knows their own affairs.

To LPL viewers, T1 is shrouded in mystery; but to LCK viewers, do you think V5 is all that's fair and square?

We are all like characters from a thousand-year-old ghost story.

Who are you trying to pretend to be naive and innocent with?

Thinking of this, Koma glanced at Zeus, who was resting with his eyes closed in the corner, strolled over, and whispered:

“Youqi”.

"Ok?"

He instinctively opened his eyes.

Only then did he realize that his coach had sneaked up to him at some point, and he said:

"I'll keep my promise to you in the next round."

"!!!"

Just a moment of stunned silence, and the next second, an earth-shattering fighting spirit suddenly erupted from Zeus.

he knows.

This scene was bound to happen sooner or later.

Because he is not T1's ace, Faker is, but Faker is definitely the one who guarantees the team's bottom line.

But he is different.

As the second choice, he is the team's penultimate line of defense and also the team's sharpest weapon for attacking from the outside.

From Kouma's words.

It’s not hard to hear.

In the third game, they should continue to change their strategy, choosing a lineup that allows Keria to roam freely and focuses on fighting in the top lane.

This also means.

He was finally able to fight Mebius relentlessly in the top lane.

Think of this.

He closed his eyes again, not to suppress his fighting spirit, but to compress it for when he arrived on the battlefield.

Then release it all at once, perfectly!
the other side.

V5 here.

After T1 won a game back, Luo Ji subconsciously looked at Karsa.

"Can you hold on a little longer?"

"One game? A round is fine too."

Kasa stubbornly insisted, but soon added:

"But we can't deny young people experience, right? I'll have one more chance to have fun, then I'll hand it over to Weiwei."

In his heart.

Ideally, we should win 2-0 against the opponent and then give the win to Weiwei. With a full three games to spare, Weiwei should be able to win at least one game, right?

but now?
T1's sudden roster change, coupled with the blue team's strong drafting and banning, has resulted in the score being tied at 1:1.
He's an old man.

He played two games and won one and lost one. The remaining three games are left for the newcomers to fight for. Doesn't he have any pride?
Dry!
We have to do it!
We absolutely have to win the third round!
"I suspect T1 will be making another lineup change in the next game."

Nofe stepped forward at the opportune moment and picked up the conversation:

"You can see from the semifinals that T1's draft strategy is constantly evolving. They not only change their lineup when they lose, but they also continue to change it when they win."

"Moreover, judging from the draft picks in the first two games, the opposing team wasn't actually that interested in the so-called meta strengths."

"Right now."

"They don't seem to be so focused on the completeness of the lineup, but rather on how to make themselves more comfortable playing."

To put it simply, it's about self-confidence.

Just like Karsa decisively pulled out the Excavator in the first game, Oner's Lee Sin was also extremely impressive in the second game.

Neither of these are currently strong junglers, but they are confident that they can pick them and carry the game. This shows the extreme trust and confidence from the team to the players.

"It doesn't matter."

Casa shook his head, sensing his own condition. He had not experienced any particularly noticeable decline; on the contrary, he felt as if his body was getting warmer.

He understands this feeling.

This level of performance is only enough to last for one game. Considering his age, it's already quite remarkable that he can maintain this level of performance for three games in such a high-intensity match.

Many young people in the new era.

In reality, people don't even need to be 30; they start experiencing a midlife crisis after 25.

How do I determine this?

Very simple.

The greatest sorrow of middle age is this: spring has gone but the flowers remain, people come but the birds are not startled, the mountains are colorful in the distance but the water is silent when you get closer.

That's all.
