LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Players from both teams appeared on the stage again, and the fans at the scene were very supportive. Although T1 lost the last game, T1 fans did not give up:
"T1! T1! T1!"

Su Mo came to his seat and began to prepare.

Entering the second BP, EDG is on the red side and T1 is on the blue side.

BAN position situation:
EDG: Ryze, Galio, Xayah

T1: Nightmare, Jayce, Cat

Enter the hero selection phase.

EDG on the blue side got the spider on the first floor.

Miller commented: "It feels like EDG is going to go for a fast pace in this game. After all, Spider has been picked. Now it depends on how T1 will respond."

T1 got Kaisa and Titan on the first and second floors.

Rita analyzed: "It seems that T1 may want to play around the bottom lane. EDG will definitely find a way to counter by picking Kaisa so early. If T1 does not help the bottom lane, the bottom lane will be very uncomfortable."

EDG got Lucian and Thresh on the second and third floors.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "This combination can indeed suppress Kaisa, but when Kaisa develops, I feel that Kaisa's ability to carry in teamfights is still stronger."

T1 got Qiyana on the third floor.

Rita commented: "Qiana! Faker's previous mid-lane Qiyana had a good performance."

“Although jungle Qiyana seems to be more popular in the current version, Clid doesn’t seem to play this hero very often, so for now we can assume that it’s mid lane Qiyana.”

Entering the second round of BP.

T1 also banned Shen and Aatrox.

EDG banned Gnar and Kennen.

T1 got the barrel on the fourth floor.

EDG locked down Angel and Crocodile on the fourth and fifth floors.

Guan Zeyuan was confused: "Wait, is this the mid-lane Angel? Is it too difficult to play against Qiyana? Why would you choose a hero who is difficult to play against in the laning phase?"

Miller tried to analyze: "Maybe he felt that the overall output of the lineup was not enough, but Mozi didn't need to choose Crocodile. Although Crocodile is a strong hero in this version, there are still many heroes he can choose."

"Are they trying to form a Spider-Crocodile combination to strengthen Vampire? I admit that this combination can kill Vampire by crossing the tower, but the focus of T1 in this game may be the bottom lane, because their top lane is designed to withstand pressure."

Only Rita smiled and said nothing, as if she understood something.

So Miller asked, "Rita, if you know something, tell me."

Rita kept it a secret: "You'll know soon."

After the heroes of both sides are determined, they begin to adjust the line division situation.

Soon, the lineup was determined:
Blue side EDG: Top crocodile, jungle spider, mid angel, ADC Lucian, support Thresh
Red side T1: Top Vampire, Jungle Gragas, Mid Qiyana, ADC Kaisa, Support Titan

Entering the game screen, Su Mo tried to communicate with the system:
"Raise my crocodile proficiency to the maximum."

[Consume one Ultimate Proficiency Card to raise the proficiency of Desert Butcher Renekton to the maximum level. 】

The director gave the summoner skills of the ten players on both sides.

Rita began to interpret: "EDG's mid and top laners both have Flash and Ignite, while in the bottom lane, Lucian has Ignite and Thresh has Weakness. It's a bit strange. I rarely see this kind of combination."

Miller tried to analyze: "Lucian brings Ignite to enhance his laning ability, and as for Weakness... it seems to be to limit the entry of Vladimir and Qiyana. It means to have both."

Rita continued to interpret: "On the T1 side, Vladimir flashed TP, but Qiyana flashed ignite, which was very violent. I guess they wanted to gain enough advantage in the lane."

"Bottom lane, Kai'Sa and Nautilus, Barrier and Ignite, also pretty violent. Kai'Sa uses Barrier more often, after all, sometimes you need to cut into the back row in a teamfight. But without TP, the tolerance for mistakes in the laning phase is a little smaller."

However, just when everyone was concerned about EDG's summoner skills, something went wrong!

Su Mo's crocodile was moving towards the middle lane, but T1 didn't notice and continued to split the lanes normally.

Miller exclaimed, "The lanes have been changed! Let's use Crocodile to fight against Qiyana! Mercy goes to the top lane to develop with Vladimir. You know what, this arrangement is pretty good. The key is that the opponent brought the wrong runes."

"The vampire must have brought armor, and Kiana brought magic resistance!"

Rita laughed and said, "I remember T1 used this tactic in the summer season. The mid and jungle of Spider Crocodile beat Chovy's Sylas. Now EDG suddenly did this, and T1 didn't seem to react."

The T1 fans at the scene were in an uproar and wanted to remind the players that EDG had changed lanes.

But the T1 players naturally couldn't hear it and didn't react at all.

Su Mo was not in a hurry to show his face and just stood behind the defense tower.

Jiejie is setting the pace: "Brother Mozi, cooperate with the mid and jungle, wait for me to come to the middle lane."

Su Mo replied: "Well, I'll deplete his health a bit. I actually have a chance to kill him at level 3 with my powerful attack. But I guess Faker is experienced and won't give me that chance."

Mieko joked: "Suddenly I feel like we are so insidious, bullying the honest people."

Su Mo smiled: "This is how Faker bullies the new mid laner in his region. This is not bullying, this is flexible thinking and a deep hero pool."

Jiejie warned: "Scout, you are in the top lane. I don't think I will go there very often. Keep your health up and be careful of being jumped."

Scout replied, "No problem."

Iboy said: "We just mindlessly pushed the bottom lane and exchanged blood, waiting for you mid and jungle to do something together."

Soon, the first wave of soldiers came out. Su Mo was still not in a hurry to go over. He waited until the mid and top of the opposite side appeared before he walked forward.

T1's side was instantly in chaos.

Khan exclaimed: "They changed the line! They changed the line!"

Faker was relatively calm: "Don't worry, it's okay for me to play mid lane."

It’s not that Faker is absolutely confident that he can beat Su Mo, but he has to play in the middle lane.

He chose Qiyana mainly to support roaming with the jungler, and the focus was on the middle lane.

He didn't have TP to go to the top lane, not to mention the impact on his laning phase, the more troublesome thing was that he basically had no chance of going to the bottom lane to support GANK.

So even if it's difficult to fight, you have to fight anyway.

Of course, for Khan, after calming down, he suddenly realized that it didn’t seem like a bad thing!
If it was Crocodile Spider, he might have been killed by the tower dive, but now that he has become Angel, at least he can develop safely in the top lane.

Clid called out, "Wait for me to come to the middle lane. We can still catch him before level 6."

Faker warned: "Be careful of being counter-camped. The opposing jungler will definitely target the mid lane."

In the middle lane, Su Mo first attacked the minions to stack rage. Qiyana did not use her Q skill directly to consume the opponent's energy, so he saved her skills to finish off the opponent.

If all his skills are used to consume, he will be beaten by Crocodile when he goes up to last hit, and he will lose in the end, so he should focus on last hitting. Rita analyzed: "It can be seen that Faker is under a lot of pressure in the laning phase now. If Crocodile can attack minions at will to reduce his rage, no one will be at a disadvantage in the early laning phase. Qiyana has no ability to prevent Crocodile from stacking rage."

The second wave of soldiers came. Qiyana couldn't just use skills to make last hits. She had to come up and make last hits with basic attacks. This gave Su Mo the opportunity to consume the soldiers.

You only need to use the red rage Q to consume it, and there is no need to let Qiana's health drop to a very low level, because the crocodile's level 3 kill line is very high. Even if there is no ignition, Kiana with 80% health can be killed instantly by a set of skills with full rage from the crocodile.

In the top lane, Scout's Angel also needs to withstand pressure in the early stage. The good news is that the Vampire's suppression power is limited.

In the bottom lane, Iboy and Mieko competed for two levels, then went up to suppress Kaisa and Titan and push them out of the experience zone.

Although the soldier line cannot be controlled for a long time, it is still a gain if you can suppress a few soldiers.

Three minutes into the game, Su Mo's crocodile has reached level three and is full of anger.

Sure enough, Faker's Qiyana shrank back and kept a distance beyond the flash.

Avoid being killed instantly by the flash, red rage and W. At the same time, Qiyana's health is also replenished.

Miller commented: "The pressure is huge! Did you notice that? Faker gave up a lot of last hits on his own initiative. He should be more aware of the crocodile's kill line, so he was very careful."

"The key is whether Gragas dares to come to the middle lane now? He doesn't know the position of Spider, so he will definitely worry about being counterattacked by Spider. He will definitely not be able to win two against two, so he must see the position of Spider before coming to the middle lane."

Suddenly, things changed!

Gragas went to fight the Krug. He kept observing the minimap, wanting to wait until the spider appeared somewhere else before going to GANK in the middle lane.

But in fact, the spider has already taken action!

Invade the upper jungle area of ​​T1, but not to find Gragas. Place a ward in the bush outside the red buff and go directly to F6, which has already been eaten by Gragas.

Su Mo sent the middle lane soldiers into the defensive tower and put pressure on Qiyana.

Just when Kiana was about to finish off the enemy, a Cocoon suddenly flew over the wall and hit her!

"Axi..."

Faker's attention was all on the crocodile, and he didn't react and was controlled by the cocoon.

Crocodile used his E skill to catch up, and used his red fury Q to control Qiyana.

The spider had already flown over the wall. To keep up with the output, he only needed to add a little damage. Su Mo killed Qiyana instantly with a set of skills and took the first blood!

Rita cheered, "Nice! Perfect teamwork. I didn't expect to get the kill this way. Faker couldn't defend against it. Jiejie calculated the time when Gragas would spawn the jungle. We won't be discovered if we act at this point."

"Now Crocodile still has flash, so he can complete the first kill. This is the worst news for Qiyana."

Miller agreed: "Yes, generally speaking, the opponent players will be alert and keep their distance from the crocodile. Unless the crocodile flashes W, it is difficult for him to take the initiative."

"Crocodile still has flash now, so he can continue to target the middle lane in the next wave."

Su Mo pushed a wave of soldiers, but did not return to the city for supplies. Instead, he chose to give a signal to the bottom lane: "I'm coming, you can cross the tower."

In the bottom lane, Lucian and Thresh maintained the advantage. Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Lucian increased his strength to push the minion line, and Thresh went up to put pressure.

The bottom lane soldiers entered the defensive tower, and Lucian and Thresh approached Kaisa and Titan under the tower together.

"Are they going to cross the tower?" Teddy understood immediately.

Suddenly, the crocodile stepped out from the side.

"Crocodile!" The two felt bad!
Their health is maintained well, so if it's two against two, it's completely doable, but it's different when the crocodile comes.

Suddenly, Thresh flashed and used E to attack Kaisa and Titan, followed by a hook but was blocked by Titan.

Crocodile flashed W, Kaisa flashed back, but Crocodile's W had already been used, and Kaisa was still controlled.

Su Mo Crocodile decisively used his E skill to get close, followed by AQ, and Lucian slid up to output, killing him in seconds!

Titan's hook left Thresh behind, making a one-for-one trade.

Rita commented: "It was very decisive. Although this tower dive was a one-for-one, Kai'Sa didn't even get an assist, and Kai'Sa's head was taken by Crocodile, which was a big win for EDG."

"Ayigu." Teddy felt upset. He didn't bring TP and was going to lose a large wave of soldiers.

After Su Mo Crocodile returned to the city for supplies, he TPed to the middle lane, and Qiyana just pushed the line of troops over.

In the top lane, Vampire pushed the troops towards the defensive tower, and Gragas came over and tried to cross the tower.

However, as soon as the barrel entered the triangle grass, he suddenly found that the spider was waiting for him!

There was no choice but to run away. If Vampire wasn’t stronger than Mercy now, Jiejie’s Spider would have a chance to kill Gragas alone. Now he just drove Gragas away.

Miller commented: "T1's rhythm exploded. Normally, if Elise goes to the bottom lane to cross the tower, Gragas can go to the top lane to cause trouble for Mercy."

"But EDG handled this wave very smartly. Crocodile came to the bottom lane alone to help the bottom lane cross the tower, and Spider was in the top lane to prevent Angel from being crossed, causing T1 to completely lose the rhythm."

Rita continued: "This is the advantage brought by EDG's lane-swapping strategy. Of course, it is mainly because Mozi's personal ability is strong enough. There are many top laners who can play Crocodile."

"But if you ask him to play in the middle lane, he might not be used to it and won't be able to perform well. Mozi doesn't have this problem."

The game continued. Su Mo got two kills. He chose to make the burning gem and the long sword first.

Miller explained: "It seems that Crocodile is planning to make Blue Dragon Blade directly. Now Blue Dragon Blade Crocodile is very strong. After activating the big move, the basic attack will trigger the passive awakening dragon."

"In this state, the basic attack can reduce the cooldown time of QWE. All I need is a Storm Sword."

Su Mo chose to return to the middle lane, which was easier now that he had the equipment advantage.

However, Faker did not choose to hide. He knew that Su Mo did not have flash, so he chose to fight with Su Mo. Crocodile gave up E and Q to fight, while Qiyana retreated with E skill and turned back to use Q.

If you react faster, you'll have a chance to dodge Crocodile's Q and gain free health.

Of course, Su Mo can choose to use two stages of E to exchange blood, but this would be more dangerous and he needs to make sure that he will not be ganked by the opponent's jungler.

The game lasted five and a half minutes, and Su Mo's crocodile was at level six.

On the T1 side, the jungler and support came to the middle lane together, originally intending to GANK.

But Su Mo received a signal from his teammates and retreated.

So Gragas and Titan set up vision on the left and right sides of the middle lane and placed a true eye on each side.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "T1 is now paying great attention to the vision of the middle lane, mainly because they are worried about being ganked by Crocodile again. After reaching level 1, Crocodile has a strong ability to cooperate with teammates to cross the tower. If he goes to the bottom lane again, T may not be able to replace anyone this time."

After Su Mo pushed the line downwards, he soon encountered a true eye, which also provided economic income, and he took it down.

"The opponent has the second blue buff, you can take it." Su Mo gave a signal to the opponent's blue buff.

Mieko became worried: "Qiana is level 6, won't it be okay to fight them in the jungle terrain?"

Su Mo comforted him: "It's okay, he is poorly developed, the damage is not high." (End of this chapter)
