LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 292 The ugliest top laner in the league appears!

Su Mo still chose to go. After all, Akali was a reworked hero, and Rita might not understand many of its mechanisms.

So Su Mo went to Rita's room upstairs and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

"Brother Mozi, you're here." It was Luo Xin who opened the door.

Su Mo walked in and closed the door.

Rita was sitting in front of the computer and looked over: "Brother Mozi, do you think this video has a chance to break the previous record of likes?"

Su Mo smiled: "I feel the chances are great. With such a wonderful operation, it will definitely get more than 20 million likes this time! This is the S League."

Although Su Mo had attracted many foreign fans at MSI before, he later discovered that these foreign fans usually didn't pay attention to him at all and only paid attention to their own league's affairs.

This is understandable. Just like when LCK was strong before, most LPL viewers did not watch the LCK league, but only watched their own league, and would wait until the world-class competitions to watch the situation in LCK.

So, now that it’s the S game, it’s time to mobilize foreign audiences as well. There is a good chance that the number will exceed 20 million!
"Let's get to work!" Su Mo moved a chair over from the side and edited the video with Rita and Luo Xin, mainly explaining and giving advice to the two.

Rita is very skilled in video editing and has very fast hands. After all, she has rich work experience and practice makes perfect.

Su Mo was responsible for interpreting the finals and operational details during the competition, while Luo Xin was responsible for cheering. Of course, not entirely, she would occasionally have flashes of inspiration and come up with good ideas.

The three of them worked together until the early morning and finally edited the video and uploaded it to the account.

"Thank you for your hard work, both of you. I'll go back and rest first. You should also rest quickly." Su Mo greeted.

"Well, good night, Brother Mozi."

"Good night."

Su Mo returned to his room to rest.

The next day was the second match day of the group stage.

The EDG team came to the competition site again. After Su Mo sat down, he quickly took out his mobile phone, opened TikTok, and stared at the likes on the latest video.

The video uploaded yesterday has received 17 million likes!

It’s only three million away from twenty million.

The key is that it’s been less than 24 hours.

Based on Su Mo's experience, if he could reach 18 million within 24 hours, it would be a sure thing that he would eventually exceed 20 million.

Most people will like the video immediately after seeing it if they think it is good. At the same time, Su Mo’s fans will receive the notification immediately.

Therefore, most of the likes will be concentrated within twenty-four hours of the video being released. In addition, since it is the S game now, the attention is already high, so the first twenty-four hours are decisive.

"What are you doing? Why are you so happy?" The factory manager came over.

Su Mo asked back, "You haven't liked my comment yet, have you?"

"Huh? Like? What does that mean?" The factory manager didn't seem to understand.

Su Mo then said, "I can tell from looking at my latest video that you haven't liked it, otherwise you wouldn't be asking this."

The factory manager muttered, "What's so great about this?"

Su Mo suddenly felt that the factory director's reaction was not right. Logically, the factory director would definitely not refuse such a convenient thing.

Su Mo logged into the factory director's account and took a look. Wow, most of the time there were only a few hundred thousand likes, and very few exceeded a million. If compared with other people, it was already very good, but it was definitely not comparable to Su Mo.

"Like me and I'll teach you how to make a video." Su Mo suddenly said

The factory manager was indifferent after hearing this, as if there was no need for this, but ten seconds later, he said, "I'll give it to you."

“Hahaha…” Meiko on the side laughed. He thought the factory manager wouldn’t order, but he didn’t expect him to give in so quickly.

"What are you laughing at? Isn't it just a like? Xiao Mo and I are teammates, and teammates should help each other, right, Xiao Mo."

The factory manager looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are right."

The factory manager responded: "Remember to teach me how to make the video, don't forget it."

Soon, the first game of the day began.

FW vs. AFS.

The EDG match is the reverse of yesterday and is put in the last game.

So you need to watch the first five games first.

Forty minutes later, the first game ended and AFS easily defeated FW.

The second and third games that followed were both duels between Europe and the United States and wildcard teams, and the EDG players were exhausted.

At first, everyone was complaining about why the two sides didn't fight, but soon, they no longer had the energy to complain and decided to just have a good sleep.

The fourth game was IG’s match, but the opponent was a wildcard team that advanced from the qualifying round.

IG won easily and LPL won four consecutive games.

No one in LCK keeps count of winning streaks. BJ lost the first game, so it’s hard to keep count of the rest.

The fifth game is a melee between Europe and the United States.

Finally, the sixth game of the day is here, EDG vs. TL.

Su Mo looked at Zizhi: "Zizhi, are you going to fight?"

"Okay, okay." Zizi agreed happily.

However, Abu refused: "No, let's play it safe. TL is strong. After all, they are the No. 1 seed in the LCS region. Moreover, our LPL region is in good shape now. If we lose, it will end the region's winning streak."

Su Mo understood that Abu was worried that he would be scolded by fans.

After all, in the eyes of the audience, the substitution was definitely Abu's idea, and it was always Abu who got scolded.

On the other side, in the commentary booth at the game, Wawa said:

"Okay, the last game of the day is about to start, and it is also the focus of the day. The No. 1 seed EDG from the LPL region will play against the No. 1 seed TL from the LCS region!"

Miller continued: "I don't need to introduce EDG, who in the world doesn't know you? TL is actually an old friend of ours. The top laner is Impact, the former champion top laner of SKT."

"Jungler Xmithie, mid laner Pobelter, ADC, big brother Doublelift, and support Olleh."

Rita reminded: "EDG did not make any adjustments to the starting lineup in this game, which means Mozi will be on the court!"

Upon hearing this news, the LPL fans at the scene became excited. This is exactly what they had been waiting for!

The host came on stage and after a brief opening speech, he invited the EDG and TL players to come on stage.

Su Mo appeared on the stage, the director gave a close-up, and the audience screamed.

Su Mo walked to his seat, sat down, put on headphones, debugged the equipment, and everything was ready. The game began!
Entering the BP phase, EDG is on the red side and TL is on the blue side.

BAN position situation:
EDG: Xia, Tristana, Sivir

TL: Akali, Aatrox, Irelia

Rita began to analyze: "EDGBAN's players are the ADCs that TL likes. The style of their region is to develop, so they really like ADCs with strong development ability and strong teamfighting in the late game. Of course, the ability to clear the minion line is very important and determines the speed of development."

"On the other hand, TL is all targeting top and mid lane. It seems that they are afraid of heroes with strong maneuvers."

Entering the hero selection stage, TL on the blue side got Syndra on the first floor.

Wawa commented: "Pobelter is very confident. He picked Syndra in front of Scout. This hero needs to have an advantage in the lane, otherwise his strength is average. Can he really do it?"

EDG got Kaisa and Xin Zhao on the first and second floors.

Miller analyzed: "I don't need to say much about Kai'Sa in LPL. Ever since Mozi used Kai'Sa to dominate the LPL, this hero has become a must-practice hero for all ADCs in the LPL region."

TL got Varus and Minotaur on the fourth and fifth floors.

EDG locked down Urgot on the third floor.

Wawa explained: "Here it comes! Is it Mozi's Urgot? As far as I remember, Mozi hasn't played with Urgot since the revamp. This is his first time choosing Urgot."

Entering the second round of BP.

EDG banned Olaf and Taliyah.

TL also banned Leblanc and Ryze.

In the second round of hero selection, EDG picked Lissandra on the fourth floor.

Rita analyzed: "Scuot was willing to be a supporting role in this game. He chose to take the initiative to be a tool man."

TL locked down Shen and Lee Sin on the fourth and fifth floors.

Rita continued to analyze: "If TL chooses Shen in the top lane in this game, then they will have to play in the middle and bottom lanes."

"EDG obviously came prepared and banned Tristana. If TL had Tristana in the bottom lane, with the support of Shen in the top lane, and pushed quickly, EDG's bottom lane might not be able to hold on."

This leaves only EDG's fifth floor undecided.

Miller muttered, "To be honest, it's rare to see EDG give the fifth floor counter position to the jungler. Is the factory manager planning to show off his skills?"

EDG got Zhao Xin on the fifth floor, and the lineups of both teams were determined:
Red side EDG: Top laner Urgot, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Lissandra, ADC Kaisa, support Braum

Blue side TL: top laner Shen, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Syndra, ADC Varus, support Alistar
Entering the game screen, Su Mo tried to communicate with the system: "Raise Urgot's proficiency to the maximum for me."

[Consume one Ultimate Mastery Card to raise the mastery of Dreadnought Urgot to the maximum level. 】

The factory manager began to lead the pace:

"The pace is faster in this game, let's make it quick and decisive."

Su Mo smiled: "The factory actually wants to make a quick decision, okay."

Meiko joked: "I will hit wherever Mingkai points. Let's cooperate with Mingkai to end the battle quickly."

Scout became playful: "If you need me, just give me a signal. I'll be there whenever you call."

Iboy also joined in: "We can also support roaming in the bottom lane, we can eat less last hits, but the jungler's rhythm cannot be interrupted."

The factory manager complained: "Can you guys be more serious? This is real work."

In the top lane, the soldiers came over and Su Mo and Impact faced off.

Impact is also a veteran player, but he is in pretty good shape and has always been very competitive. However, in this game, he chose Shen as the top laner, so Su Mo showed no mercy and attacked him head-on!

While Shen was coming up to finish off the enemy, Su Mo kept looking for opportunities to consume his energy. Shen had no choice but to rely on the shield provided by his Q skill to block the attack.

In the middle lane, Lissandra's laning ability is not very strong, but in Scout's hands, it is enough to deal with the opponent's Syndra.

In the bottom lane, Kai'Sa Braum was laning against Varus and Alistar. He would definitely be slightly suppressed in the beginning. However, the presence of Braum made the opposing Alistar dare not go up casually, otherwise it would be hard to say who would be the winner.

Three and a half minutes into the game, the factory manager came to the top lane to help with counter-camping.

He was in the bush on the line, while Su Mo was suppressing him in front of the opponent's defensive tower, constantly looking for angles to consume his energy.

This position is very arrogant and can easily be targeted by the jungler.

However, TL jungler Lee Sin did not come to the top lane to gank, return to the city for supplies, and fight for the second round.

Rita commented: "I feel like TL was well prepared. Their jungler didn't fall for it. If he went to the top lane to gank, he might have died."

Miller agreed, "He must have studied EDG's games over and over again and knew that Czar liked to help the top lane, either by providing vision or counter-camping. No matter which one, it would be difficult for the opposing jungler to take action."

After Lee Sin finished clearing the second half of the second round, he went straight to the bottom lane to look for opportunities.

Right now the two players in TL's bottom lane haven't shown any aggressiveness yet and are just last-hitting and developing normally.

Minotaur suddenly flashed out from the bushes and used WQ to knock Kaisa away.

However, Iboy's reaction speed was very fast, and he flashed and retreated immediately.

"Nice! What a quick reaction! This is the reaction speed of young people!" Miller cheered.

After dodging Minotaur's two-hit combo, Kaisa wanted to counterattack, but when she saw the opponent's Lee Sin coming, she gave up.

Meiko reported the situation: "The opponent's support didn't flash, and Xiao Zhao didn't flash either."

The factory manager knew what was going on, but the embarrassing thing was that although the opponent's Shen was depleted by Su Mo and had little health, the factory manager couldn't do anything. Shen had W, which could be used to block Zhao Xin's Q. If he took action, he would be fooled.

The game lasted five minutes. Both mid and top players looked for opportunities to return to the city for supplies, and then came out to continue laning.

The director gave Su Mo a close-up, and Su Mo directly made the extraction in this scene.

Rita commented: "It seems that Mozi felt that there was no pressure in the top lane in this game, and he had to be on the line for a long time, so he chose to speed up his development."

In the middle lane, after Scout's Lissandra pushed the line, she began to look for the rhythm everywhere. He chose to go up, and Zz1tai also went up to clear the jungle.

Su Mo reminded: "The top laner on the opposite side is level 6, you guys should be careful, he has a big move."

The troops pushed forward towards the defensive tower. Originally, Zzitai and Scout were planning to cross the tower, but suddenly they found that the people were gone and Shen was not under the defensive tower.

The factory manager quickly signaled to the bottom lane: "Pay attention to the bottom lane, the opponent may 4-on-2 at any time."

Now Meiko and Iboy are under a lot of pressure. Who knows when the opponent will come?

Meiko went to the river to gain vision. As soon as he placed the ward, he found that Lee Sin had come over. He placed a true ward and cleared the vision that Meiko had placed.

"In the bottom lane, I saw it." Meiko reminded.

Zzaiyi went back to the city for supplies. There was no chance for him to cross the tower in the top lane. The opponent's Shen was too cautious, so it was better for him to go to the bottom lane to protect the duo's development.

In the bottom lane, Kaisa and Braum had already hidden themselves behind the first tower and dared not go up.

After the factory manager's Zhao Xin came closer, the two of them returned to the defense tower.

TL jungler Lee Sin took the opportunity to steal the dragon.

Miller commented: "You know what, TL's rhythm is pretty good. They have Shen in the top lane, and the jungler is very daring, which puts a lot of pressure on EDG's bottom lane."

Rita continued, "But the top lane is actually also supporting Mozi. Mozi has no pressure to grow. Look, he has already started to cut off the minion line."

On the top lane, although the teammates left, it did not hinder Su Mo's strength, because the opposing jungler was near the dragon pit anyway.

Su Mo went over the defense tower to find Shen, and Shen walked up and wanted to go back to the defense tower, and that's how they met.

Su Mo naturally wanted to harass Shen and prevent him from returning smoothly, so he approached him and used his Q skill. Shen decisively used his E skill! Shadow Bind tried to step over Urgot.

Su Mo decisively used his E skill, and it was a predicted E skill, so a magical scene happened.

While Shen was taunting Urgot, Urgot crashed into him and carried Shen back on his back. Su Mo activated his W skill to output.

Shen uses his W skill! Soul Blessing blocks, but the time and range of this W skill are very limited. When W disappears, Shen can only bear it.

Miller commented: "The difference in last-hitting in the top lane is now multiple times higher. In fact, Impact doesn't often play heroes like Shen in the LCS region. It seems that it is because the pressure against Mozi is too great, so he had to choose Shen to cope with the pressure."

Wawa continued, "I think this way of thinking has a big problem. Although you can handle the pressure, how will you deal with it if Brother Mozi gets angry?"

Su Mo continued to ravage Shen in the top lane. When the game time reached seven and a half minutes, Shen was beaten back home by Su Mo, who continued to cut off the minion line and destroy the tower.

At the same time, in the bottom lane, the opponent's Lee Sin came to cause trouble again. Just as the factory manager was about to help the mid laner to get the blue buff, the opponent's Lee Sin invaded, a level 6 Lee Sin!

"Look at me." The factory manager reminded his teammates.

Su Mo reminded: "I don't have TP."

The opponent's Shen doesn't have TP either, but he has a big move!
Lee Sin used Soundwave, and Zzai's Xin Zhao moved and hit the target.

"They went to the bottom lane." Meiko reminded.

The blind monk echoed and flew over, then touched the eye and kicked.

Wawa commented: "Here they come! A fight broke out in the bottom jungle. Zz1tai's Xin Zhao was kicked back, and Alistar followed up with WQ, chain control! Lee Sin's Echo Slam."

"Isn't Xin Zhao going to use his ultimate yet? Xin Zhao was at low health and wanted to use his ultimate, but was controlled by the opponent's Varus and couldn't use his flash!"

Scout's Lissandra is right next to the wall, and he is considering whether to enter the field.

Two people in the bottom lane came over, and Scout's Lissandra used her E skill, seeming to be planning to come in to help.

But he didn't really enter the field because he felt he couldn't win. Shen's ultimate hadn't been used yet and he was still watching the situation.

So the factory manager's Zhao Xin was killed by the opponent's Lee Sin, and Lee Sin got the first blood.

The factory manager complained: "There are too many controls on the other side, and everyone has one control, so they can't move."

"This time, I should have used my ultimate to sweep Lee Sin away. I'm looking for an opportunity to counterattack."

Meiko responded: "The main reason is that the opponent's top laner has a big move, so I don't dare to go up. I feel I can't win if I go up."

The blue buff was snatched away by the opponent, and Lee Sin continued to counter-jungle.

The factory manager had no choice but to give in and go to the upper jungle area after resurrection.

Miller commented: "It was very decisive. TL took the initiative in this wave. There was no problem with their operation and thinking. It seems that EDG was stunned. The manager was not decisive enough. I guess he didn't expect the opponent to be so strong."

Rita continued, "Actually, judging from the results of the past two days of competition, what Brother Mozi said before is indeed correct. Europe and the United States are much stronger now than before, and they dare to fight and fight hard."

Ten minutes into the game, Su Mo continued to cut off the minion line in the top lane. Now that the factory manager had figured it out, he chose to invade the opponent's upper half jungle area, so that the opponent would not have the advantage in numbers. Moreover, Urgot's combat power was stronger than Shen's. If the opponent's jungler wanted to cause trouble, he could fight two against two or three against three.

The Rift Herald refreshed, and the factory manager chose to go directly to the Rift. At this moment, the bottom lane started to feel troubled again.

The opponent's Lee Sin appears in the bottom lane and comes over to clear the vision.

Iboy and Meiko planned to retreat.

Meiko asked: "Is it difficult to fight? It seems that our mid and top have TP."

Su Mo responded: "It's no problem for me to go on the road. You can fight if you want."

Scout followed up by saying, "I'm fine in the middle."

Iboy and Meiko chose to stay under the defensive tower. The bottom lane soldiers entered the tower and the two were ready to counterattack.

As expected, Lee Sin appeared and walked over from the triangle grass.

Wawa commented: "It seems that Lee Sin intends to continue to target the bottom lane. Is he going to cross the tower? But this time EDG's mid and top laners both have TP, which feels very risky, unless we can kill one of them instantly. But Braum has a shield, so it's no problem to hold on until the TP lands."

Suddenly, Shen used his ultimate on Lee Sin!

Scout immediately TPed to the bottom lane, the opponent's mid laner also TPed, and Su Mo also TPed.

Su Mo deliberately went slow because he was worried that the opponent was using his ultimate to trick the opponent into TP. After all, the CD of the ultimate was shorter than TP. After seeing that the opponent's mid laner had used up his TP, he followed up with TP.

After waiting for a while, Lee Sin took action, used his R to flash and kicked Kaisa onto Braum, knocking him away.

Alistar used his W skill to push Braum away, and used his Q skill to knock Kaisa away. Varus used his ultimate to control Kaisa and kept up with the output. Shen landed and taunted, and Lee Sin used Sonic Wave and Echo Shot.

Kaisa was unable to move and was killed instantly!

Miller was amazed: "No, it's so perfect? ​​Is this really a European and American team? Kaisa couldn't use any flash or ultimate? And Braum didn't have a chance to protect Kaisa. The opponent's combo is too perfect."

This is not over yet. Lissandra TPs to the ground, uses a flash and W to control Minotaur and the opposite Varus. Minotaur has already activated his ultimate to hold the tower, so Lissandra uses his ultimate on Varus on the ground.

"Veras, Varus!" The factory director turned into a battlefield commander. Although others were not there, he could give orders.

Su Mo's TP landed and he used his E skill on Varus to follow up with his ultimate and deal close damage.

Rita explained: "Varus's small body can't withstand Urgot's output, and his health is on the line of being killed, surpassing the fear of death! Minotaur is frightened, and the time for his ultimate skill has passed. He is very fragile now, and Urgot gets a double kill!"

"On the other side, Syndra, Lee Sin, and Shen killed Braum, and the battlefield was divided into two sides, in front of the defense tower and behind the defense tower."

Su Mo and Scout were in front of the defense tower. They turned back to look for the enemy, but the enemy had retreated and there was no way to keep them, so they had to give up.

Wawa commented: "It's acceptable at the moment, two for two, but EDG's bottom lane is a bit disadvantaged, with a lot of losses in the line of troops, and no kills, all of which were taken by Urgot."

After getting the Rift Herald, the factory manager chose to continue farming in the upper jungle area, preparing to wait for Su Mo to return to the top lane and destroy the opponent's top lane tower.

Su Mo returned to the city for supplies and returned to the top lane. Now the first big item, Black Cleaver, had been made, and the opposing Shen had made cloth shoes. This little bit of armor was of little significance in front of Su Mo.

The troops in the top lane pushed forward the defensive tower, and the factory manager came to the top lane to release the Rift Herald.

However, at this moment, something happened in the bottom lane again!

The opposing Lee Sin came again. After the bottom lane soldiers entered the tower, Lee Sin appeared and wanted to force the EDG duo to retreat so that they could destroy the tower.

Iboy and Meiko are tougher, after all, Lee Sin, Varus and Alistar don’t have ultimates.

Braum turned on his shield and stood in front, harassing the opponent's tower push and creating opportunities for Kaisa to push the line of troops.

However, when a TP was sent to the military line, the situation changed and it was now four against two!

Rita commented: "The opponent's Shen gave up the top lane and TPed to the bottom lane to help. I feel that EDG can only give up. They will definitely not win."

Sure enough, Iboy and Meiko chose to give up and retreated, but the opposing Lee Sin did not want to let them go just like that.
