My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 518 The Final Battle
【No, bro! ???】

[He's so handsome! This spider is practically risking his life to initiate a team fight.]

[As is well known, BLG is a breeding ground for wei, for example: wei, weiwei, bigwei, jwei, also known as Nirvana, Nirvana x2, Great Nirvana, and Boundary Nirvana.]

Those who invade V5's territory will be swiftly and decisively defeated by Wei!

No one could have imagined it.

Before the game.

V5, which was expected to be led by Luo Ji and Ruler, surprisingly had everyone shining in their respective roles during the BO5 finals.

This is truly fighting to the bitter end!
This is truly a display of skill!
So much so that the commentators were now raising their arms in celebration.

2:1
With the final push after a team wipe, T1, who had struggled for more than 20 minutes, finally met their end with a crystal explosion.

This familiar scene caused many T1 viewers to have hallucinations.

I still remember this time last year.

T1 and V5 started with the same score, from 1:2 to 1:3, and then T1's players were dejected. Is this year going to be another year where they have to go through the same thing again?
Faker closed his eyes.

After the crystal exploded, he did not immediately choose to get up and retreat, but instead lay half-reclined on the gaming chair to rest.

It seemed like a recollection, yet also like a prayer.

"Coming?"

"what?"

Seemingly having heard Luo Ji's murmur, Kasa suddenly paused for a moment, and then followed Luo Ji's gaze toward T1.

They seemed to have noticed this scene.

The director then switched the camera.

Faker with his eyes closed.

This conceptual-level visual has once again appeared before the eyes of countless LPL viewers.

"Damn it, I hate this scene."

off screen.

Xiao Hu was instantly given goosebumps.

Even though he wasn't facing off against a team like T1 or Faker, just seeing that scene gave him a feeling that he was about to lose.

and many more!

Wasn't he eliminated?

How did this strange feeling come about in him?
"Even you've been forced to pray to the gods?"

Many retired or semi-retired athletes who experienced the dark times joked about it, but their faces were all serious.

Faker in dire straits.

That was a terrifying existence no less than Uzi in dire straits.

Uzi can only operate on his own, while Faker can protect the entire team single-handedly.

"Let's go."

It seems that they realized they had done something wrong.

Noticing that FOFO had fallen silent, Luo Ji patted him on the shoulder sheepishly and said, "Don't worry, he's just intimidating."

"Yes, I know."

FOFO nodded subconsciously, but the fear in his eyes did not escape everyone's notice.

The 15-minute halftime break.

The lounge in Terminal 1.

Unlike other players, Koma and Bengi did not provide any instruction or review to the players. Instead, they each handed a towel and told them to find a place to adjust their state.

Nobody wants to lose a game.

No one would want to lose to the same opponent for two consecutive years.

They may feel resentment, anger, frustration, and even arrogance to turn things around. As these emotions accumulate, they will eventually transform into a more powerful driving force, which in turn will drive them to become better. It is both pressure and motivation.

It seems they sensed Faker's seriousness.

The remaining four players in T1.

One by one, they immersed themselves in the moment and readjusted their state of mind.

Until
Fifteen minutes later.

When the T1 team came out of the lounge again, they were in a completely different state.

Without joy or sorrow, unfathomable. Despite being considered arch-rivals, in this match, one could sense the terror emanating from the opponent simply by looking at their face—this is the kind of T1 player.

Just one glance is enough to make it seem as if you're already stuck in a quagmire.

The fourth one.

T1 has completely abandoned its previous BP strategy.

Is this version too powerful? Ignore it.

Team synergy? Postponed.

Instead, the focus shifted to which heroes should be picked based on their early-game mid-jungle strength, and which bot lane duo should be picked based on their early-game fighting ability and lane priority.

The fourth one.

Both teams fielded aggressive early-game lineups, and for the first time, T1 and V5 finally clashed head-on.

just
T1 on the blue side ultimately had too much of an advantage.

In addition, his condition was off the charts.

The dominance before level 6, the solo kill before level 9, and the perfect mid-jungle synergy before level 12.

Logically speaking.

In the fourth game, Weiwei, who replaced Karsa, was supposed to be a rookie playing against a veteran. The two junglers' energy levels were not on the same level. However, when T1's mid and jungle coordinated their attacks, he finally realized how outrageous the opposing team's combination was.

It was clearly a three-game match.

She is clearly twenty-seven years old.

The various extreme reactions, outrageous support, and seizing of opportunities left the audience dumbfounded, even though Luo Ji and Ruler managed to drag the game to 37 minutes through their respective manipulations.

finally.

This is also due to the huge difference in vision caused by the connection between T1's mid and jungle lanes.

One wrong move, and a winning game is ruined.

2:2
In this game, Faker returned to the realm of gods.

This is the fifth game. This T1 is really hard to kill.

The blue side still had a huge advantage. If V5 hadn't pulled off a surprise move in the first game where red countered blue, they might have ended up on the red side after all five games.

Go for it without regrets. The finals are so different from the previous matches. You might have found some "golden" players in the previous matches, but in this BO5 series, even the floor tiles are made of gold.

【Come on, charge! Battle! Song!】

Everyone knows how difficult it is to beat T1.

The key lies in the soul of this team—Faker. In the original world of S15, when T1 was down 1-2 against BLG in the finals, he could even casually say, "It's more fun to play five games." This king's composure and confidence were simply unmatched.

Even the three people in the audience had to admit it.

T1 is indeed a formidable opponent.

If their team had played in this final, it's hard to say whether they could have gone to a fifth game. At the moment the match ended, under the camera's gaze, the audience even saw a smile on Faker's face.

That wasn't a smile of joy because of winning the game.

But because.

I enjoyed the game and felt that passion and excitement again, and unconsciously I smiled.

too long.

He hadn't experienced such a close and evenly matched contest in far too long.

It's not just about the operation.

It also extends to a comprehensive confrontation involving command, mentality, awareness, and other aspects.

indeed.

He's getting older, and his skills have slowed down.

but.

He has become weaker, but that doesn't mean that others have become stronger. If he wants to, he can still be the same great demon king who can leave anyone stunned and impregnable with a mere glare.

Even the LCK commentary booth is still shouting at the top of their lungs:
"This is Faker."

"This is T1."

"He represents the strongest talent in the field, and they represent the honor of the highest level of LCK strength."

"Will win!"
