My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 523 A Mortal's Moment of Striving to Shine

"The Wei duo is back in action!~"

"Is the pace of this game really that fast? V5 always initiates lane changes first."

“Zeus is going crazy! He’s already at 0/2, and you’re still trying to capture him. Oner is also thinking of moving up in.”

"But it seems unreliable!!!"

Hit the road.

Jwei, as always, transformed into a melee minion and began his deceptive performance, while Weiwei also teleported directly out of the Baron pit, cooperating with the top and support laners to quietly complete a three-man gank on Zeus.

Zeus was already being very careful.

He even sensed something was wrong and began trying to retreat.

but.
E【Hook lock】

He used his E to directly hit the enemy's top outer turret. When he saw Camille use her E, he subconsciously kept a close eye on Camille's movements, planning to wait for Camille to use her second E before using his own E to avoid the enemy's control.

No matter what.

His pause was a good idea.

The minions that were coming towards him suddenly became somewhat restless, until he reverted to his true form and Neeko used her familiar E skill once again.

And Camille.

After the first E, it didn't immediately fire the second E, but instead briefly hung on the turret. What else can be said?
You can have my life!
Zeus dodged Neeko's E, and then got hit by Camille's second E. If there were only two people, Zeus could have continued to make plays.

pity.

This is a group of three.

But he didn't have three holes.

V5_Mebius killed T1_Zeus
0/3!

TheShy can at most develop an "i" series. This time, his Zeus performance was completely shut out, and he was even forced to go down the path of feeding.

"V5 saw through T1's scheme."

"They pushed first and moved first, striking at lightning speed. After this wave, even with Oner on the team, T1's top and jungle players wouldn't dare to push the lane aggressively anymore."

"And if we don't push the lane in during the next seven minutes or so..."

"That"

"The minion waves of the Vanguard Team T1 will be very difficult to manage."

Why so sure?
As top laners know, if the jungler comes to help push the minion wave at seven minutes, then including the push back, by the time the Rift Herald team fight happens eight minutes later, T1's top lane minion wave will look like their push wave after the Rift respawns.

V5 has gone too far in its research on T1.

The "arch-enemy" that has been at it for two whole years is no joke; it has been slowly blocking all feasible solutions for T1, one after another.

Faker saw this and was very anxious.

But this opponent seems even more troublesome. Even if I don't last-hit minions, or even if I occasionally take damage from a turret, I still have to find his position and see where he goes.

This left Faker unable to move and forced to remain stuck in the mid lane.

"I won't let you go."

FOFO murmured softly.

As a player whose talent isn't exactly top-tier, he knows all too well how important this opportunity is to him.

To win.

Even if he's called a "carry" like Crown Bro in S7, or even if others later say he just got a championship by lying down, it doesn't matter.

What he wants.

They were simply trying their best to reach that highest throne.

Use his pride.

He made a choice that risked everything, just for what he wanted to see.
A mortal.

The moment of striving to bloom!
"This kind of awareness is so profound that it's truly awe-inspiring."

JGD Club.

The group who had just returned from eating kimchi fell silent as they watched the scene on the screen.

but.

Xiao Yan (Photic) understood this feeling.

"It's no longer just about personal honor."

"Under that person's guidance and in that atmosphere, you would subconsciously feel that if you didn't give it your all, it would be like letting down everyone in the world."

"Although he kept emphasizing that we are working hard only for ourselves."

"only."

"That kind of thinking is really hard to do, isn't it?"

During FOFO's time at V5, he had heard Luo Ji talk about it in a former V5 group chat with himself and others, and it was quite an exaggerated scene.

Various mid-lane masters, using all sorts of tricks to solo kill him in solo matches, cannot cause his skill to experience any explosive growth.

But this kind of training.

This will give him extensive experience in preparing for all kinds of surprise attacks.

which is:
It will become very difficult to kill, extremely difficult to kill!

Oner wasn't unwilling to continue looking for Galio's weaknesses, but ever since he ganked Galio once and the opponent became more prepared, no matter how many opportunities he looked for afterward, he couldn't find a way to reliably gank the opponent. Helplessly, he could only watch as V5 took the first Rift Herald.

This helped Pierre Vazquez avoid a passive situation.

It got into rhythm.

until
The time for the second elemental dragon is about to be refreshed.

V5's mid, jungle, and support trio placed the Rift Herald in the mid lane, while Ruler's Varus pushed the lane in the bottom lane.

The classic strategy of sending out the vanguard and then moving to the Rift.

Because of its huge advantages.

Luo Ji didn't think about providing support for the time being, but continued to torment Yone in the top lane.

Why resort to torture?
Because of his overwhelming advantage, he has already managed to unleash his divine power, while Yone's first mythical artifact is clearly still a long way off.

Hit the road.

Chun Chun is like a strict mother beating her spoiled son.

Seeing that the Rift Herald had been deployed in the mid lane, Ruler instinctively wanted to move towards his teammates' positions in the mid lane. But at that moment, a golden light descended from the sky.

The hit wasn't just any one of V5's mid, jungle, or support players. It was...

Ruler Varus is switching lanes.

Should I enable AD?

wrong!

The moment a sonic wave was precisely fired from the bushes and hit Bervis perfectly, Oner's second Q was triggered immediately afterward.

In mid-air.

A true eye suddenly appeared.

"Wait, what's going on?!"

Weiwei's eyes widened in surprise, but Oner's actions were too fast.

In mid-air, he changed the second stage of his Q skill, adjusted the angle, and then decisively used his R flash to kick out, kicking Belvis like a ball. At the same time, the landing point touched FOFO's Galio.

One kick, double yellow!

Jwei sensed something was wrong immediately and pushed forward while activating his ultimate to split the battlefield, but Keria's Bard was even faster.

The portal opened.

They directly rotated from the mid and bottom lanes, crossing the jungle wall to the bushes connecting the mid lane and the river, avoiding Neeko's ultimate while getting closer to Galio and Berserker's positions.

Amidst immense difficulties.

T1 seized their only chance to defeat V5.

This node.

V5's mid, jungle, and support damage almost entirely relies on the jungler. Normally, the AD carry would need to come over to supplement the damage, but Keria's Bard ultimate created a time difference, and Oner's quick initiation further reduced Belvis's health.

Although Jwei reacted very quickly.

Once an opportunity is seized, there's really nothing that can be done.

0 for 2
Zhongfu sacrificed himself to barely protect Piervis from dying.

By letting T1's mid laner get hit by the Rift Herald and losing plating as a price, they managed to protect the Rift's second elemental dragon, delaying V5's decision to secure the dragon by a full five minutes.

"mine,"

Ruler took a deep breath.

He could actually react in time to use Flash after unleashing this powerful move, but he just didn't want to use it right away.

As a result, I only took this one greedy moment.

His initial momentum was quickly wiped out by a third, which made him feel somewhat guilty.

"It's not your fault, we never expected them to choose to drive like this."

Jwei shook his head.

It can only be said that the top LCK teams do have their own unique style.

Despite the current situation, they still managed to find the only way to break the deadlock. The only regret is that Luo Ji didn't use his T, otherwise they could have earned an extra TP or something.

"It seems that T1 knows a lot about V5."

"It's not so much that I understand V5, but that I understand Ruler too well."

Nofe sighed.

This setback resulted in the opponent taking the dragon, essentially turning a death sentence into a reprieve, which is a bad omen.

Of course, there's also good news.

That is, once the mid, bot, jungle, and support of T1 showed up, Zeus in the top lane dared not show up at all.

If the jungler doesn't reveal their identity, they can still take advantage of the situation. But if the jungler does reveal their identity, what happens if they continue to act so openly?
next second.

I'm afraid they'll just issue a "Hextech Ultimatum" and wash their face.

"As expected, the other side found an opportunity again?"

Hit the road.

Judging from the minimap, Luo Ji showed no surprise at all. According to the saying "The Hero Fights the Dragon," it's normal for the final stage of the dragon to be difficult to defeat. Just don't add any messy second or third stages.

This wave.

The opposing team had calculated that he wouldn't go down, and they also calculated that a top-tier AD like Ruler would value lane priority.

no way.

You can't have a competition where you're the only one who can manipulate human nature, but not the other side, right?

Although T1 managed to turn the tide.

However, the huge disadvantage they had in the early stages was still evident in their faces, and after this wave, T1 continued to avoid battle.

However, with Galio's initiative to approach, Luo Ji destroyed the opponent's top outer tower right in front of Zeus.

1V1
He's already able to chase after the enemy and keep attacking.

The problem remains the same: chasing relentlessly risks being counter-ganked. Due to their significant disadvantage, T1 even proactively abandoned the bottom tower and rotated to the mid lane early.

on the one hand.

This frees up Bard to participate in roaming, effectively deterring V5's unrestrained strategy.

on the other hand.

Keria was also playing dirty tricks, trying to bait the enemy into engaging him, in order to create an opportunity for his teammates to fight the dragon.

Although V5 doesn't really pay him any attention either.

"Leave him."

"They're just trying to bait us with their ultimate move; one Bard kill isn't that significant."

"The focus is on the third dragon and what follows."

"Take it easy, control all the resources you need, I'll apply pressure directly on the sidelines, and the rest is up to you."

The first two dragons are depicted as mountains and water, while the third one is now fixed, featuring a very conspicuous fire dragon symbol. This means that if V5 gets three fire dragons and a fire dragon soul in a row, then T1 will be out of the game.

It doesn't have many front-line units to begin with, so even a slight touch can cause explosive damage.

First time.

LPL viewers are sincerely grateful that the LCK organizers didn't pull any time-travel tricks this time.

The advantages of V5.

It is visibly getting bigger and bigger.
