LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 188: Defeating SKT! Taking first place!

Seeing the five SKT players gather together, Wawa was a little confused: "What is SKT doing? Shen's development is very poor right now. If they gather together now, I feel that no one can threaten Tristana."

"Although Shen is very capable of cutting the back row, just because he can touch him doesn't mean he can kill him. If the damage is not enough, it's useless."

Wawa guessed: "It seems that SKT is a bit anxious. Their defense towers are falling very quickly. If we don't stick together, it will be difficult to defend. So this is the only option."

As the two were talking, EDG and SKT started to engage in a fight on the middle lane.

However, no one started a group rashly and everyone was still looking for opportunities.

Huni's Shen was standing on the side, obviously trying to find an angle to enter the game.

At this moment, Su Mo suddenly had an idea: "Why don't Tristana come with me to fight the Baron? We can't start a team fight now."

"Push a wave of soldiers over first, then the three of you pretend to ambush in the river. We'll go and fight first. When we feel it's almost time, you come over."

When the factory manager heard this, he thought it was indeed a good idea and said, "Let's get started!"

So after the next wave of soldiers came, the five EDG players pushed forward aggressively, and Lulu accelerated Tristana as if they were going to rush forward to attack.

Su Mo's Nunu had already gone to the dragon pit one step ahead.

The opponent still did not start a team fight directly, but retreated first. After EDG pushed the line of troops over, Tristana walked towards the dragon pit.

The other three stayed near the middle lane, while Zz1tai entered the opposite jungle, started scanning and openly placed wards, approaching the SKT team from the side and pretending to start a team fight.

"Be careful of being attacked by Prince, he keeps taking the lane and developing very well." SKT was very alert. After seeing Prince's position, they moved away to avoid having too many people trapped by Prince's ultimate.

However, what they didn't know was that someone was already killing the Baron.

However, the commentators and spectators watching the game from a bird's eye view could see it clearly.

Wawa commented: "Here we go! EDG chose to speed up the pace of this game. Tristana and Nunu are fighting the Baron together. Nunu has the Q skill to restore health, and most importantly, Nunu's W skill can increase Tristana's attack speed!"

"At full level, W can increase attack speed by 45%! It's like having an extra big attack speed item. Look at Tristana, with full attack speed, the output is very high!"

Miller continued, "This match was brought up by Nunu. Everything matched up. It turns out that Mozi had planned this all along!"

Of course, what they didn't know was that Su Mo just didn't want to be caught and killed, so he chose not to play on the line and instead support his teammates.

When the dragon's health dropped to half, the next wave of soldiers came.

The SKT players were pushing the line in the middle lane. This time, Clearlove did not continue to act. SKT were not fools. If they saw that Tristana and Nunu were not there at the same time, they would definitely notice something.

So, the other three EDG players entered the Baron pit to help fight.

Don't pretend, it's a showdown!
On the SKT side, Faker was the first to react: "The Baron is in danger!"

The SKT players went straight to the Baron pit to find out what was going on.

Xayah threw a blue trinket eye into the Baron pit, only to find that EDG was really attacking the Baron. The most important thing was that the Baron only had more than 4,000 health left, and there was no time to stop it!

"Xiba! Tristana and Nunu must have gone over to fight early, damn it!" Peanut understood it at a glance. Nunu could carry the Baron and Tristana had damage output, but he didn't think about it at the time. His mind was only filled with looking for opportunities to start a team fight.

So SKT chose to push the middle lane and take down EDG's middle lane tower to stop the loss, and the Baron could only be given to EDG.

On the EDG side, the factory manager cheered, "Nice, it's a win! Xiao Mo, so this is your plan and plot for this game. Don't go to the line, support the bottom lane, and then find a chance to steal the Baron with the ADC."

"Anyway, Nunu's W skill only increases attack speed with level, so he's a perfect tool without any equipment. But the opponent's Shen can't do that, so you're killing two birds with one stone."

Su Mo scratched his head, thinking that the factory was too imaginative.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes..." Su Mo nodded.

Meiko echoed: "This idea is really amazing. Most people can't understand it at all. I guess SKT doesn't understand it either. How did this game turn out like this?"

Miller commented: "It was a very nice Baron steal. SKT is helpless now. Although this Nunu is not a jungler, he controlled the tempo of the whole game and stunned SKT. This tempo is completely different from their usual games."

"Now EDG is returning to the city for supplies, and the troops are pushing forward. It seems they are planning to go to the high ground."

The soldiers entered the high ground, and EDG began to look for opportunities to consume the health of the high ground defense tower. Now SKT's defensive attitude is very determined.

Ryze and Xayah pushed the minion line together, and the minion line disappeared very quickly.

However, EDG soon had a cannon cart enhanced by the Baron BUFF, which could damage the defense tower from a very long distance. In this way, SKT had no choice.

The health of the highland defense tower slowly dropped. When it reached one-third, Su Mo gave an order: "Charge!"

He chose to give Tristana W the attack speed bonus, and then took the lead in the charge himself.

In this game, Su Mo played a half-tank game, so he was not afraid of being killed instantly.

The cannon attacked the defense tower, and one third of the defense tower's health was gone in an instant!

Suddenly, Huni's Shen used his E skill to pull the wall and kicked it towards Su Mo's Nunu.

At this time, Nunu had already gone deep under the defense tower, but the defense tower was gone!
Miller was puzzled: "The Yasuo started the fight! He actually chose this time to go in? But the tower is gone, and his teammates are retreating. He's giving himself away."

“Go!” Seeing Shen start a team fight, the SKT players had no choice but to follow.

If we let Shen give up like this, we will definitely be attacked in one wave. It will be impossible to defend against four against five.

After Shen entered the field, he used his ultimate on Tristana, who was dealing crazy damage. Suddenly, Rek'Sai dug a tunnel and flashed over, knocking Tristana away with his W. Rakan flashed past him, and they danced together! A grand debut!

The team battle is about to break out, and all SKT members are looking for Tristana!
Rita passionately explained: "Lulu used her ultimate on Tristana, and Nunu used his ultimate on the spot to slow everyone down. This ultimate needs to be fully charged, which is a bit painful!"

Nunu's ultimate dealt full damage. Although he was wearing half-tank gear, because the opponents were all wearing armor, he launched an explosive AOE. Zz1tai's Prince chose to restrict the opposing Ryze and Xayah. It was okay if these two couldn't touch Tristana. Shen had no output and couldn't kill Tristana.

The result was just as what the factory manager expected. The entry of Shen looked real, but he was killed without doing any damage.

Miller commented: "This Tristana didn't even move his A. His attack speed was too fast. Any movement of A would be a waste of attack speed. He stood still and took down Shen and Rakan, and then there was Rek'Sai who landed with her ultimate!"

Scout's Syndra used a QR on Shen, killing him instantly, and then used the E skill to stun Rakan and Rek'Sai, who also died shortly afterwards.

At the same time, the factory manager who was restricting the opponent's back row also flashed back with a little blood.

However, the opponent's Xia flashed and used a basic attack to kill him, but because of the flash, Xia could not escape and was killed by EDG.

In the end, SKT only had one Ryze left, and he was unable to hold on alone.

"One wave! One wave!" The factory manager turned into the fountain commander, and the opponent was already unable to turn the tide.

So the four EDG players pressed forward together, pushing the line of troops to the bottom of the front tower. Nunu activated the W skill to increase the attack speed of Tristana. This defensive tower was like made of paper and was gone in two seconds.

First the front tower and then the base crystal, take them all in one wave!
Miller announced: "As the crystal in SKT's base explodes, let us congratulate EDG for winning this game. They have locked up the first place in the group stage!"

"Although there have been a lot of negative news about EDG circulating on the Internet recently, saying that EDG is no longer good and their training match results are very poor, EDG has proven themselves with actual actions! They are the No. 1 seed of LPL and they definitely deserve the title!"

Wawa agreed: "Yes, congratulations to EDG, and also to Mozi for winning the MVP again. Watching his game is a pleasure. He can always win the game in ways you can't imagine."

Rita was filled with joy: "I saw that Mozi didn't eat the soldiers and didn't go to the same line at first, and I was a little worried. Now it seems that I thought too much. Mozi is still the same Mozi!"

On the EDG side of the game, after the game ended, everyone took off their headphones and stood up to celebrate.

[Task completed, reward: 1 Ultimate Proficiency Card. ]

Zet rushed over to find Su Mo: "Brother Mozi! You are really my lucky star. I have never had such a good time in my life."

Zet wanted to give Su Mo a bear hug, but Su Mo dodged it swiftly, so Zet pounced directly on the factory manager.

"Xiao Mo, you..." The factory manager was originally planning to high-five Su Mo, but was suddenly attacked by Zet. "No, Zet, why are you hugging me so hard!" The factory manager almost lost his balance and was startled.

Zet laughed and said, "Brother Mozi's positioning is too good, it's impossible to catch him."

"Can you be a little more normal?" Seeing Zet so excited, the factory manager's mouth twitched slightly.

There is a reason why Zet is so excited. He was just a loser in EDG before, playing in the bottom lane. Not to mention laning against SKT's bottom lane, even against the bottom lanes of many strong European and American teams, he had no sense of presence.

In team fights, he can do as much damage as possible, but he can’t be the absolute core. But this game he feels completely different!

Su Mo had been taking care of him since the laning phase, and constantly gave him attack speed buffs during team fights. Suddenly, he had a feeling of "I am reborn in RNG and being protected by four people."

The factory manager greeted, “Okay, let’s go over and shake hands first.”

So the EDG players lined up and came to SKT to shake hands.

First up is Huni, the top laner. He got angry when he saw Su Mo:
"Why don't you dare to fight me in the top lane? Coward! You don't even dare to fight in the laning area, and you still want to fight in the top lane?"

Su Mo chuckled and looked at Huni as if he were a fool.

As expected, the less skilled a person is, the more he likes to yell. In a team, the least skilled one is often the one who yells the loudest. This is learned from experience.

[Get Torture Points from Huni +80]

Huni's defense was broken by just one look from Su Mo.

"you……"

"Forget it, Huni, be decent."

Xiao Huasheng tried to stop them, saying that now was not the time to quarrel, and if they were discovered, they would be punished.

Huni quickly calmed down and could only stare at Su Mo with threatening eyes, not daring to say anything else.

The next one was Xiaohuasheng. When Su Mo shook hands with Xiaohuasheng, Xiaohuasheng didn't show any reaction.

However, when Peanut shook hands with the factory manager, he was the same as before. He did not have that victorious attitude at all, but instead seemed cautious.

The factory manager is more relaxed than Peanut, with a smile on his face and looks very impressive.

The two people's positions seem to have been reversed.

Next one, Faker.

Faker is not in a very good mood right now. Being second in the group means that they need to face the first place in other groups in the quarterfinals.

For example, Dragon Ball!

This is the last thing SKT wants to see, but now it has become a possibility.

Finally, the bottom lane duo.

After shaking hands with everyone from SKT, Su Mo followed his teammates to the center of the stage and bowed.

The host Ren Dong greeted, "Brother Mozi, I would like to ask you a few questions and take up a little of your time."

Su Mo looked back and saw Ren Dong looking at him with a smile.

Su Mo nodded and stayed, following Ren Dong to the middle position.

The crowd was still boiling with excitement, and many people could be heard shouting:
"EDG! EDG! EDG!"

The spotlight was given to Su Mo, and the camera turned over.

Ren Dong said: "Congratulations again to our EDG, the No. 1 seed of LPL, for standing out in Group A and getting the first place in the group. We have invited EDG's starting top laner, Mo, to accept our interview."

Ren Dong stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Su Mo, and Su Mo also stretched out his hand.

But Ren Dong was embarrassed because Su Mo and he extended the same hand, so they couldn't shake hands.

So Ren Dong changed the microphone to one hand and extended the other hand, but Su Mo also changed his hand, and the two still couldn't match.

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling instantly:
"No, you're torturing me just to shake hands? Brother Mozi is really something."

"You two are still playing, aren't you?"

"This host seems to like to play tricks and embarrass the contestants. This time, he was punished by Brother Mozi."

"Brother Mozi, are you kidding me? You're always torturing me."

So Ren Dong thought of a way. He chose to twist his hand forcibly and complete the handshake in a very strange posture.

After shaking hands, Ren Dong continued, "Let's start asking questions now. The first question is, there are a lot of rumors circulating on the Internet, saying that EDG is not in good shape and was beaten by European and American teams in training matches."

"Are all these rumors true? EDG has already won first place in the group stage and defeated SKT twice. Does this prove that these rumors are all false?"

Su Mo responded: "It's true, we can't beat anyone in our training match."

Hearing this, Ren Dong was stunned. He thought Su Mo was going to start explaining, but he didn't expect Su Mo to admit it directly.

"Then why can EDG get first place in the group stage now? And it got it above SKT? Didn't you bring your real strength to the training match?" Ren Dong asked.

Su Mo replied: "This is confidential."

[Get +50 torture points from the audience]

[Get torture points from Ren Dong +20]

Su Mo also had his own reasons. The training match was confidential and he shouldn't have told anyone about it.

Ren Dong had to change the question: "In the three days after the first round of the group stage, we saw that you seemed to have been playing outside and had not trained, but today you were able to perform very well after playing. Is this true?"

Su Mo replied: "Talent and a little bit of hard work."

In the official live broadcast room, the barrage exploded:

"Fuck, is that so direct?"

"What did you work hard at? Working hard to play?"

"As everyone knows, my teammates are usually in training, but Mozi is the only one who does live streaming to brag every day."

"Brother Mozi has nothing but talent."

"Could this be the legendary talented player?"

"Faker is so talented, but he still needs to practice. This is not right."

Ren Dong asked: "Is there nothing else besides talent? Many talented players train very hard. Brother Mozi should also train regularly. What method makes your training so efficient?"

Su Mo replied: "In addition to talent... I also need the support of my teammates. The more my teammates trust me, the more confident I am. The more confident I am, the better my level and performance will naturally be. They complement each other."

Su Mo talked nonsense in such a serious manner that Ren Dong was confused.

This is the first time I've seen someone talk about laziness so naturally...
