My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 519 Light is the bond; someone will always inherit it.

T1 Lounge

After winning the fourth match, Kouma finally broke his silence when facing his teammates again.

"The situation is quite clear now."

"V5's strategy is to speed up the pace as much as possible, shifting the game's focus from strategic gameplay to chaotic battles. This is their strength, but we don't have many ways to counter it."

"The last one."

"That is actually the biggest test for us."

There are many things he dares not say outright.

For example, he realized that V5 was deliberately wearing them down because in the fourth game, they picked Quesant and Senna for their two carries. This kind of carry selection is relatively easy to play without much thought, and you don't need to be too focused on things like clearing waves.

But in the fourth game, picking this kind of hero was clearly a mistake.

as well as.

At the end of the third game, V5 briefly revealed their "passing the parcel" strategy, but it was nowhere to be seen in the fourth game.

He knew it.

The "Pass the Parcel" strategy requires every V5 player to concentrate, which means that players often need to waste more energy to achieve that effect.

And V5.
The fourth game is essentially a rest for both Cs.

The jungler was rotated in the fourth game. For Weiwei, the game was only the second game, so the energy expenditure was not a big deal.

What about Mebius?

At 19 years old, a best-of-five series is not a significant drain on a person's life.

His youth is his greatest asset.

Needless to say, the support role is more about brainpower than mechanics. After watching four games with complete immersion, Kkoma saw Faker and the others eagerly close their eyes and relax on the sofa as soon as they came off the stage.

He got it.

I have once again fallen into V5's trap.

"It will win."

Keria's unease and excitement were visibly palpable, yet her eyes still shone brightly.

"Even if the match goes to the fifth game, Sang-hyeok will still be the strongest."

The discussion about LCK's top support has never been in suspense, not only because Beryl has championship glory, but also because, in the occasional hero microphone clips, one can see a comparison of the two supports' statements:
Genshin Impact Bro: I can win in one fell swoop, you guys believe me.

Dr. K: Can we do it in one go?

This is very realistic.

But it's often characters like Dr. K who give the audience a greater sense of familiarity, because many people are naturally insecure about themselves but have a lot of trust in the rest of the team.

Ok.

Of course, there is another way.

It means distrusting one's own people while placing excessive trust in those one is not very familiar with.

For example, the group that is a victim of telecom fraud ( )
but
At least for now, Keria, who has witnessed Faker's magic, is already completely blindly devoted to him.

Moreover.

In T1's history, they have only lost one game in a best-of-five series against an LPL team: against EDG during the MSI season in S5.

These are all impressive achievements.

aside.

Zeus closed his eyes, looking somewhat bewildered.

From a matchup perspective, his performance in the first four games was actually about the same as Luo Ji's, and he could easily use this record to continue saying that he was evenly matched with his opponent.

but.

No way.

Because they understand each other, he understands even more that the opponent is not just about laning, but also about team fights, command, and pre-match drafting.

All of these factors combined have already crushed you beyond recognition.

now.

Even he subconsciously felt a little insecure about himself.

But soon.

This sense of confusion was completely shattered by the atmosphere of being single in one's own home.

What is aura?

It's like the spiritedness of a scholar, the fierceness of a soldier, the dashing charm of a talented man, or the majesty and authority of someone in a high position. This kind of aura is not something one is born with, but rather something that is gradually acquired through one's experiences.

The moment Faker got up again.

Everyone in T1.

All I saw in him was confidence and composure, as if everything would be perfectly natural if I just followed behind him.

"Will you win?"

"It will win."

He replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Under his leadership, one T1 player after another stood up. This was their home game, and the match had been pushed to the final round.

They had only one choice: to burn brightly until their very last dance!
This is their destiny.

The other end.

In V5's lounge.

Everyone is resting as much as possible and adjusting their condition.

Even though a BO5 series only lasted four games, plus rest time and a lot of miscellaneous preparations, it actually took more than three hours. Nearly four hours of high-intensity performance would make it difficult for most players to perform at their usual level.

but.

Mebius is different.

"That guy has run out of tricks and even resorted to the old man tactic."

auditorium.

The corners of Lao Qiang's mouth were wide open in a grin.

As the person most familiar with Luo Ji, he saw through V5's tactics at a glance, and he was even certain that the losses in the first four games had not had much of an impact on him.

This strategy of playing the older generation relentlessly was something we had already discussed with him back when he was still with EDG. Why?
Because Laoqiang truly survived, and was the only Snake team player to "survive" that BO10 match back then.

"Calmness, individual skill, teamwork—these are the things a normal team coach would think about at this point. But no one ever thought that victory or defeat isn't just in the game, but also outside of it. He's a true genius."

With the help of the gun, Abu and Dani finally understood V5's playstyle.

No wonder the fourth game could have ended much earlier, but they managed to drag it out to 37 minutes by avoiding fights and playing solo.

Faker's sudden burst of form was indeed frightening, but form is something you can't always get back.

JKL's performance with the 90,000 gold Zephyr stunned countless viewers back then.

But who remembers?

In the game after the 90,000 Zeli, how many basic mistakes did his AD carry make? That was the aftereffect of the explosion.

Even because of this.

They noticed the FOFO point.

Throughout the entire BO5 series, FOFO seemed to disappear, somewhat like the left hand in the World Championship, but in reality, they are not the same.

The reason he chose to remain invisible was because he could have done better but chose not to; the reason FOFO remained invisible was because his abilities were limited, but he did his job well and didn't give anyone away.

Stealth without making mistakes.

On the contrary, it was his greatest contribution to the team.

The rotation of two junglers, the mid laner who stays hidden and doesn't give any opportunities, and the support who hides himself as his secret weapon and then surprises everyone with a stunning performance.

Every player on V5 was prepared for the competition beforehand.

This is who they are.

The key reason why they were able to drag T1 to the fifth game despite having inferior equipment.

"The day has finally come."

lounge.

Luo Ji, whose face was covered by a towel, suddenly burst out laughing, and everyone in the room followed suit, their smiles mirroring his laughter.

Game 5 of a best-of-five series.

LPL's last hope.

Faker and his T1 team are guarding the gate.
These scenes had appeared repeatedly in their fantasies.

Just like when Ximen Chuixue faced off against Ye Gucheng, he needed to fast for seven days, burn incense and bathe, and give a formal invitation in advance. They even agreed to meet on the night of the full moon at the Forbidden City.

What for?
It was so that I would have no regrets, so that even if I looked back on this moment in the future, I would feel that I had given my all and burned everything.

LPL has won games against LCK.

Not more, not less.

However, after playing a full five games in a best-of-five series, they defeated T1, an LPL team, in the World Championship.

It has never happened before.

"I always feel like I'm going to witness history, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger."

"The mistake is not in witnessing, but in creating."

Karsa patted Weiwei on the shoulder. This little brother, who had just been substituted in and immediately suffered a defeat, was under immense pressure. But everyone knew how unlucky he was. He had run into Faker, who had successfully summoned a god, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

"The era of one person carrying an entire team is over. In a 5v5 match, we will not lose to the other side."

"That year, Ruler calculated that Faker was six seconds away from using Flash, and Flashing forward bound him for six years. This year, Ruler, why don't you try harder and give him a Super VIP membership or something?"

Listen.

Emperor Chi could not suppress the smile on his face.

He had a lot of past grievances with T1, so much so that when he heard this, he still subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.

soon.

As the staff member's reminder rang out.

Luo Ji was the first to stand up from his chair, and looking at his teammates who followed suit, he smiled and extended his hand.

"With so many people watching, it seems like we have no choice but to grit our teeth and hold on to the end."

"I'm so happy to have come this far with you all. Now, please give me another helping hand."

"For our final battle."

Casa was stunned by what he saw.

The clear words resounded like a huge bell.

The scene reminded him of his time at the Demacia Cup, when he was with Rookie, Xiao Yan, PPGOD, and others.

The difference is, they are still here.

What's even more different is that they were replaced by a group of like-minded comrades.

Almost subconsciously.

He reached out and placed his palm on top of the other person's palm.

in the room.

The contestants who realized what was happening responded one after another.

Without fear or anxiety, even in defeat, they wanted to know how far they were from the finish line. Many V5 players started with this goal in mind, following Luo Ji and Ruler as they charged forward.

Several of them are not top performers in their respective positions.

The thought of pitting a team that had only been rebuilt for a year against T1, a team that had retained its roster for two years, was indeed somewhat disheartening.

But ah.
Even in the darkness, a glimmer of light still remains.

S8的IG、S9的FPX、S11的EDG，甚至是S12当时并无人看到的LCK三英战V5，LPL的路子总是一路跌跌撞撞的撞出来的。

This light, representing hope, is very small, but it is a link, and someone will always carry it on.

One person's strength may be insignificant.

But when a group of people come together, they have endless possibilities.

Friendship, dreams, bonds?
maybe.

At least for this moment, they felt full of power.

"Come on, let's dance one last time!"
