LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 297 Today, the idol beat up the fans!
The EDG team worked together to take down the opponent's middle lane high ground, and then turned back to fight the big dragon.

Meiko cheered, "Nice! This is a sure win. The opponent's Great Inventor will definitely be embarrassed after getting the Baron."

The factory manager responded, "I have a set of skills now. If the Great Inventor uses up all of them, he will be seriously disabled if not dead."

Meiko joked: "I didn't expect Mingkai to be able to play such a cool hero like Taliyah."

The factory manager complained: "Tian Ye, you look down on me, don't you? I can't play Taliyah? How is that possible?"

The remaining two people of FNC did not come over to waste time, and EDG easily took down the Baron.

After returning to the city for supplies, Su Mo led the bottom lane and his teammates led the middle lane.

Wait a little for the CD time of the ultimate skill.

After bringing all the troops over, the four EDG players in the front started to move towards the bottom lane.

Wawa commented: "EDG is planning to push the bottom lane this time, and the vision of the bottom jungle area is starting to be cleared."

"Poppy is bringing the troops over. There is only one Irelia under the second tower. The other FNC members are also coming over."

After the soldiers entered the tower, Su Mo's teammates also came over.

Irelia is putting pressure on her and seems like she might use her ultimate at any time.

But the EDG players didn't buy it.

Iboy knew that as long as Poppy was there, it would be okay even if he was hit by Irelia's ultimate. If Irelia couldn't pass, he could just attack the tower.

By the time the other FNC members arrived, the health of the second tower in the bottom lane was running low.

So they chose to give up.

"Keep pushing, they have to defend the super soldier in the middle lane." The factory manager commanded.

The line of troops continued to advance forward, directly reaching the upper and lower lanes high ground.

Wawa commented: "I feel like FNC needs to find an opportunity to start a wave. If they continue playing like this, they will die slowly."

Rita analyzed: "The embarrassing thing for FNC is that their lineup is very afraid of the Baron buff."

"The Great Inventor can't be cleared, and at the same time, Irelia's Q can't be refreshed unless the minions Q die, so it's quite difficult now."

The super soldier in the middle lane went up to the high ground and headed straight for the crystal of the opposite base.

FNC is ready to make a move, they know they will be in trouble if they don't open it yet.

The factory director commanded: "Don't be impatient, step back."

EDG started to play tactics, and if FNC wanted to start, they would not give them the chance.

FNC couldn't find an opportunity, so they had no choice but to let the Aatrox go to the middle lane to clear the minion line.

Su Mo commanded: "Factory, get ready."

The factory manager understood: "I understand."

So after the next wave of soldiers entered the tower, Su Mo's Poppy decisively pressed forward and used his ultimate skill.

Taliyah used his ultimate skill from the side to block the retreat.

Wawa commented: "Here they come! EDG is going to force their way up the high ground, Poppy uses her ultimate, and Alistar is beaten away! Taliyah uses her ultimate to enter the game from behind, very aggressive!"

"Taliyah landed, and used W to attack the opposite Great Inventor. The Great Inventor flashed to avoid it. Aatrox activated his ultimate to attack Taliyah from behind, but Galio used his ultimate! Aatrox could only retreat!"

Rita continued, "Front-on! Lucian hits Irelia with his face, and Irelia uses her ultimate to counterattack, but Poppy is watching him. Thresh's Crucible helps Lucian break free from the control, and Lucian is hit by Gragas' ultimate!"

"Gragas is full of energy, Irelia uses W to block it! Thresh's hook hits Gragas, Lucian follows up with output, but he can't handle it because the output is too high!"

The Barrel was quickly taken down, and Su Mo used his E skill to push away Irelia who wanted to come up to deal damage, and Lucian used his ultimate.

On the other side, Galio's ultimate landed, and he rushed over with his Justice Punch, knocking the Great Inventor away, and he alone withstood the Great Inventor's firepower.

The Sword Demon wanted to continue attacking Taliyah, "Ding!" Taliyah started the stopwatch to avoid damage.

The Sword Demon was in an awkward situation, having already used up one set of skills, and could only wait for the next one.

At this time, Irelia was already at low health and turned around to find Lucian, but her Q skill was interrupted by Thresh, and Lucian took the kill.

Miller commented: "Iboy's Lucian is killing like crazy! His teammates are protecting him meticulously. The next target is Aatrox. Taliyah's stopwatch is over and his teammates have come to support him."

"Mini-Ox! Approaching from the side to cooperate with Aatrox, clang! Determination again, this Poppy is the counter to both Alistar and Irelia!"

Su Mo used his E skill to push the Sword Demon away. The Sword Demon was about to use Q2 and follow up with his E skill to get close to Taliyah, but was pushed away like this and was dumbfounded.

Taliyah used her W to bring him back, and with the help of Lucian's output, she took him down directly. The time for the Sword Demon's ultimate had passed, and she couldn't even resurrect.

Galio, who was responsible for withstanding the firepower of the Great Inventor, was already low on health. He also turned on the stopwatch to delay time, and managed to drag out the duration of the Great Inventor's turret.

Rita analyzed: "Now that the Great Inventor has lost his ultimate, he and Minotaur can't do anything. EDG should be planning to end the game in one wave!"

"Everyone on EDG played very well in this teamfight. The coordination was perfect and everyone performed their duties. Let us congratulate EDG!"

The audience has already stood up and cheered: "EDG! EDG! EDG!"

On the EDG side, the factory manager commanded: "One wave, one wave, take it!"

Meiko cheered, "Nice, we won!"

Iboy commented: "I feel like FNC still has some strength. Their bottom lane is stronger than I thought."

The factory manager laughed: "You're still commenting. The bottom lane tower was taken down so early."

Iboy scratched his head: "It's mainly because this group is disgusting. I can't do anything about it."

Su Mo said: "In the next game, you can consider choosing a combination that is strong in laning and can beat their combination."

Amidst laughter and cheers, EDG ended the game in one go, took off their headphones, and stood up and walked towards the lounge amid the cheers of the audience.

Back in the locker room, Abu greeted them, "You played well. There were no major problems in this game. We basically executed our tactics and won the first game. We have the advantage in mentality."

"Now it all depends on how FNC will play. We can observe first. They will definitely come up with something in the next game, otherwise we won't have a chance."

The factory manager responded: "I feel that as long as we restrict their mid lane, their early game rhythm will be reduced by at least half. Their jungler relies heavily on the mid lane."

Meiko teased, "Is it greater than your reliance on Brother Mozi?"

The factory manager retorted, "What the hell? Xiao Mo and I...are cooperating. Do you understand what I mean by cooperating? Cooperation and dependence are not the same thing at all."

Everyone laughed after hearing this, and Zizhi said, "How can it be the same?"

The factory manager gave him a warning look and quickly changed his tone: "That's definitely different."

Abu said, "Okay, okay, let's review the game first, and then think about how to play the next game."

The EDG players began to review the game, mainly focusing on the bottom and top lanes.

After the review, we started discussing the next strategy.

Since we won the first game, there is no need to make big adjustments.

Keep the lineup from the first game, and we can talk about the BP issue later and see how FNC reacts.

After a short break, Wawa said in the commentary booth:

"Welcome back. The second match between the two teams is about to begin. EDG won the first match relatively easily. Now the pressure is on FNC."

Miller continued: "I think Poppy is worth paying attention to. He can counter a lot of popular heroes, such as Aatrox, Gragas, Alistar, Irelia, Xin Zhao, etc."

"The popular heroes in these versions are all afraid of Steadfast Style. If FNC can't handle it, it would be better to ban it."

The players from both teams took to the field again, and the audience's enthusiasm remained unabated:
"EDG! EDG! EDG!"

"FNC! FNC! FNC!"

Su Mo came to his seat and put on headphones.

All ten players from both sides were ready and the second game began.

Entering the BP phase, EDG is on the blue side and FNC is on the red side.

BAN position situation:
EDG: LeBlanc, Ryze, Syndra.

FNC: Poppy, Galio, Nightmare.

Rita analyzed: "Sure enough, FNC banned Poppy, and EDG mainly targeted the mid lane. After the last game, EDG probably came to the conclusion that as long as Caps of FNC is silent, the others can't be relied on."

Miller agreed: "Indeed, after Caps was restricted, it felt like FNC had no rhythm."

"However, Irelia and Aatrox are both placed outside. I feel that EDG has a way to deal with it and deliberately let FNC choose. If FNC doesn't dare to choose, it will be quite troublesome and they will be at a disadvantage in the draft."

Entering the hero selection stage, EDG on the blue side got Lissandra on the first floor.

FNC locked on Gragas and Urgot on the first and second floors.

Wawa commented: "Continue with Gragas, it seems they think this hero is fine."

"However, Gragas is indeed the strongest AP jungler in this version. With Gragas, the mid and top laners can choose AD heroes together."

EDG locked Xayah and Rakan on the second and third floors.

Miller commented: "In this match, Xayah and Rakan were released, and EDG decisively won. No problem, we can beat any combination."

FNC got Sivir on the third floor.

Rita commented: "We mentioned in the last game that Rekkles played Sivir well, and now he has it. FNC's BP in this game is not as extreme as in the last game. They are all heroes they often use."

Entering the second round of BP, FNC banned Aatrox and Irelia.

EDG also banned Cassiopeia and Akali.

Wawa analyzed: "FNC banned the Aatrox themselves. They were probably worried that if Mozi got the Aatrox, they might not be able to win in the top lane."

"As for Irelia, EDG's mid and top are all experts at playing Irelia, so we need to respect them. Is Caps afraid to pick Irelia? I think it's a pity."

FNC got the Minotaur on the fourth floor.

EDG locked down Pantheon and Shen on the fourth and fifth floors!

Rita analyzed: "Shin and Pantheon? It seems to be a sway between top and jungle. Both Zweitsal and Mozi should be able to play these two heroes. It depends on how they allocate them when the time comes."

At this moment, FNC locked the Tsar on the fifth floor.

Miller exclaimed: "The Shurima duo? This BP feels so dragged out. These two heroes can't develop in less than 30 minutes."

Rita continued: "After losing the first game, I could clearly feel that FNC's BP became very conservative. I can only say that the pressure was too great."

The two sides began to split up, and Pantheon came into Su Mo's hands. The countdown entered the last twenty seconds, and the lineups of both sides were determined:

Blue side EDG: Top Pantheon, Jungle Shen, Mid Lissandra, ADC Xia, Support Rakan

Red side FNC: Urgot on top, Gragas on jungle, Tsar on mid, Sivir on ADC, Alistar on support
Rita analyzed: "The lineups on both sides are two extremes. EDG's lineup is very early. Although Xayah and Shen are also very powerful in the late game, the jungle Shen does not develop so fast and is mainly used in the early game."

"And FNC is a pure late-game lineup. If they can really drag the game to more than 30 minutes, I think they have a chance to win."

Entering the game screen, Su Mo communicated with the system: "Raise Pantheon's proficiency to the maximum for me."

[Ding! Consume one Ultimate Mastery Card, and the Lord of War Pantheon's mastery is raised to the maximum level.]

The factory manager began to lead the pace:

"The pace of this game is fast. Find the opponent and defeat them in the early stage."

Meiko responded: "Then we should just push the bottom lane without thinking. They will definitely not be able to beat us in the early stage of the bottom lane."

Iboy said: "It's up to you, just go up and suppress him, Minotaur will definitely not dare to touch you."

Meiko laughed and said, "I actually like to bully Lao Niu. This hero is really weak in laning phase, and he can't fight back when facing Luo."

After Su Mo went out, he went straight to the bottom lane and signaled to his teammates: "Do something, do something."

Meiko was stunned: "Brother Mozi, what's going on? Why are you so excited?"

Su Mo responded: "If you want to develop while playing Pantheon, then don't play it. Pantheon just wants to cause trouble all the time."

The director showed both sides' summoner skills and level 1 starting equipment.

Wawa commented: "Urgot chooses Doran's Shield when he goes out. If he can use it properly, he should be able to withstand the pressure in the early stage. Pantheon's Q skill consumes a lot of mana, so it is not as easy to suppress people as before."

Miller continued, "Also, in the game, the top laner usually brings TP. If they can't hold on any longer, they can TP back to the city. Pantheon rarely has a chance to kill alone in the early stage. Even if he can suppress the last hit a little, his role in team battles is still not as good."

Rita suddenly said, "EDG seems to be planning to fight at level 1. They are gathering."

Wawa and Miller took a look and found that it was true.

The five EDG players walked to the bottom lane together, intending to invade the opponent's jungle from the bottom lane.

Entering the river grass, the five people began to wait.

Miller commented: "If I remember correctly, this is EDG's first level 1 team fight in this S game. They haven't played like this for a long time."

"If we suddenly do this now, the other side probably won't be able to react."

Wawa was a little worried: "But, with this invasion, I feel that Pantheon's lane will be more difficult to deal with. He will definitely have to TP to the top lane. Urgot will have one more TP and can eat more soldiers..."

"I am very worried that Pantheon in the top lane will collapse directly, and it will be difficult for EDG to play."

The audience supporting FNC at the scene were a little excited and shouted:
"The opponent is about to invade, bottom lane bush!"

"Is there no one doing vision?"

"It's okay, let them invade, I'll see how Pantheon plays later."

"It feels like Pantheon blew himself up."

Soon, the first wave of soldiers came out and the first round of wild monsters were about to refresh.

The five EDG players walked towards the opposite jungle together. From a bird's eye view, the opposing duo were helping to kill the blue buff.

The five EDG players approached the blue buff, with Su Mo's Pantheon leading the way.

Sivir and Minotaur were still walking down when they suddenly found someone coming!
So the two of them retreated quickly, and Su Mo decisively gave up his W to the opposite Minotaur. The Minotaur reacted quickly and used Q on the spot, controlling each other.

Wawa commented: "Miniature Head reacted well! Triggered aftershock, relatively tanky, durable. EDG did not continue to use skills, they chose to chase forward."

"They are waiting for the aftershocks to end! Is this EDG's execution? They don't even use any skills and just chase after them!"

An outrageous scene appeared. Shen and Rakan did not use their skills, allowing Xayah to chase and attack.

So at the moment when the aftershock of Minotaur ended, Shen used his E skill hook to pull the wall, and Minotaur decisively flashed over the wall and approached the second tower in the bottom lane.

However, he was fooled this time. The factory manager did not kick over immediately. Instead, he was waiting for the Minotaur's skill. After the Minotaur flashed, he climbed over the wall and kicked the Minotaur unconscious.

Meiko's Rakan flashed and made a grand appearance with W. Xayah flashed up to deal damage and killed the Minotaur.

The first blood burst out, Xia got the first blood, and the opposing Gragas and Sivir had already run away.

Rita cheered, "Nice! This wave of EDG's invasion was very decisive and disciplined, but they used two flashes, so we can only say that we should use them early and wait until the CD is out."

"As long as the bottom lane is advantageous and the opponent is not ganking, then these two flashes are the same as not using them."

After EDG helped the bottom lane get the first blood, Su Mo did not leave directly, but chose to stay in the jungle and clear the jungle with Zzai.

The duo returned to the bottom lane and began to push the line.

The director gave a close-up of Pantheon, and Wawa understood now: "Wait a minute! Pantheon is not going to the top lane yet. He wants to continue crossing the tower in the bottom lane, right? But the opponent has already resurrected, and there are two people in the bottom lane!"

"When the bottom lane soldiers enter the defensive tower, Alistar will be there soon. Both the middle and top lanes will TP."

The whole audience was in an uproar. They had never seen such a style of play before. This was the quarterfinals of the S League!
Alistar returned to the bottom lane, and FNC's top laner was already signaling: "The top laner is gone, he never came back."

Before FNC's bottom lane had time to react, Shen and Pantheon had already walked out from the side!

"Bottom lane!" Hylissang quickly signaled to his teammates.

Caps retreated in the middle lane, trying to find a place to TP, but Lissandra caught up.

And in the top lane, Urgot pushed the line with all his strength.

In the bottom lane, Su Mo acted decisively and sent a W to the opposing Sivir.

This Sivir chose the Q skill at level 1, which was originally intended to push the minion line, but now he is in trouble because he doesn’t have W!

Alistar used his W to knock Pantheon away, but Sivir was still controlled.

Luo Shengda appeared on the scene and knocked two people away.

Rita explained: "Xayah and Rakan took one and a half waves of soldiers, and with the experience gained from the first blood, they were already level two. The opponents were all level one, and Shen was level two. I kicked them, followed up with QA, and finally AQ to finish!"

"Urgot TPed, but still needs time. Sivir flashed back, but Shen's second stage of precision etiquette had already been used, and he was taken down directly! Death flash!"

[Get Torment Points +40 from Rekkles]

Su Mo flashed back and forth. Although he was only level 1, the first attack from the defense tower was offset by his passive ability, so he had not been killed by the defense tower.

Wawa explained: "No way? Pantheon doesn't have to die yet? Urgot flashed up and used E, and Shen helped to block it. My God, is this brotherhood? It seems that Pantheon is really going to die!"

Su Mo's Pantheon retreated all the way, and Urgot could only chase the Shen in front of him. Shen retreated all the way, waiting for the next E skill to be ready, and then used the E skill to pull away with the low health.

Miller laughed. "This is a set of tactics that was deliberately designed to target FNC's bottom lane. Now Xayah has two kills, and Sivir will have to eat three fewer waves of soldiers! Oh my god, it's a blast, a complete blast."

"Mozi is really a genius. He made full use of Pantheon's ability to cross the tower. If it was any other hero, there would be no such effect. Didn't you say before that Rekkles is a fan of Mozi? Is this how you treat your fans?"

Wawa continued, "Maybe it's because of the fans, right? Who said only fans can beat up idols? Now idols can also beat up fans!"

The game continued, Su Mo walked back, returned to the city for supplies, and TPed to the top lane.

It will take time for the opponent's Urgot to come up, so Su Mo can take this opportunity to gain experience and level up.

Su Mo commanded: "Factory, focus on the bottom lane and don't let them catch their breath."

The factory manager responded: "I know, I understand."

After the factory manager finishes clearing his own lower jungle area, he can go to the lower jungle area on the ground.

If there is a chance, I can continue to do things.

On the bottom lane, a new wave of soldiers came out and Xayah and Rakan began to control the line.

The opposing Minotaur was under the tower and didn't dare to come out, so he was alone. When Sivir came over, the two of them moved forward tentatively.

However, before they could get within the distance to gain experience, Xia Luo had already approached them.

Rita analyzed: "Just now, the top and jungle lost health when they crossed the tower. The EDG duo is almost full of health now. They are ahead in level and combination. The FNC duo has no chance at all. They can't even gain experience. How can they play?
The director gave a close-up of Rekkles, who was in a state of panic! He was already sweating as soon as the game started!
So, after clearing a wave of wild monsters, Gragas could only go downstairs. If he didn't go to the bottom lane, he would be in trouble.

"I have TP." Caps reminded his teammates.

In the last wave, he wanted to TP, but Lissandra kept chasing him. By the time he could TP, there was no chance anymore. This time he had to be prepared in advance.

When Gragas reached the bottom lane, a new wave of soldiers came out. Gragas hid first, Minotaur led the way, and Sivir followed behind keeping a distance.

The Minotaur approached the bushes and placed a ward, and sure enough, Luo was inside!
Luo decisively made a grand appearance and knocked the opponent into the air. Minotaur used Q on the spot and knocked each other into the air.

Xayah comes up to deal damage, Sivir also comes up to help counterattack, and Gragas appears!
"You can fight!" The factory director's voice came, he was there too!

Gragas didn't know that Luo didn't use the E skill, so he rushed forward with a meat bomb. Sivir continued to output and gave two TPs to the bottom lane!
"Clear the minion line, I'll be level 3 soon!" Meiko reminded.

Iboy turned around and killed two low-health soldiers, Luo reached level 3!

Dancing in pairs, they retreat.

Wawa cheered, "Nice! Very crucial! Luo didn't have flash. If he hadn't reached level 3, he might have died. Tsar and Lissandra TPed to the ground at the same time."

"Azar's position is too awkward. He's behind the EDG duo. Does he want to take down the low-health Luo first? But Shen is coming. It's four against four!"

The Tsar chose to summon sand soldiers to attack the low-health Luo. After seeing Shen, the Tsar gave up the Quicksand and teleported back. If he didn't leave, he would die.

But this is not the end yet. Xia used her E skill to hook and control the low-health Minotaur.

The factory manager's Qing Gangying kicked over, followed by AQ, and then a W tactical sweep.

Gragas was so angry that he controlled Shen, and Minotaur retreated all the way.

The factory manager called out, "I have Flash, I have Flash!"

Shen used two flashes to perform precise etiquette and took down Minotaur's head.

Wawa commented: "What is this Minotaur doing? Does he think he can win this wave? He saw Shen but still moved forward, giving EDG a chance!"

Rita laughed and said, "Hey, it's like this when we send off the players. I think they got knocked unconscious first, and now they can't tell east from west."

"Once he enters this state, he will often give opportunities. After this wave of fighting, FNC's bottom lane problem is still not solved. The line of soldiers is pushed over, and Gragas accompanies them to eat the line of soldiers. Sivir is still level 1!"

The next wave of soldiers came, and Xayah and Rakan had already returned to the city for supplies.

However, Rekkles took the opportunity to go up and eat the soldiers, and finally reached level 2.

But an even more embarrassing thing happened. He pushed the line of soldiers slowly, so after this wave of soldiers passed, they did not enter the defense tower and were stuck in front of the defense tower, while Xayah and Rakan had already returned!
