LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

From the very beginning, Su Mo demonstrated breathtaking distance control.

He used Jayce's 500-yard range in his cannon form to get outside the maximum range of 369 Aatrox's Q skill.

Whenever 369 tries to last-hit a minion, Jayce's basic attack, which has a passive armor reduction effect, will land precisely on him.

At 3 minutes and 20 seconds, both sides reached level 3.

Jayce still has two-thirds of his health remaining.

369's health had been reduced to half, but he had no choice but to move forward because the priceless artillery soldier was low on health.

“He’s looking at the artillery vehicle; this is an opportunity.” Su Mo’s eyes narrowed.

Just as the Sword Demon was about to use a basic attack to take down the cannon minion, Su Mo moved.

He first activated W [Super Charge], instantly maximizing his attack speed, and then used his long range advantage to land the first auto-attack.

369 reacted quickly, immediately unleashing a Q [Darkin Blade] while simultaneously using his E [Shadow Dash] to dash forward, attempting to knock Jayce into the air with his sword and deal high damage.

If it were a normal Jayce, he might have been hit by this. But Su Mo seemed to have a script running, he made a small sidestep and dodged the attack by just missing the edge of Aatrox's Q1, and then followed up with another basic attack!
A! A! A!

W's three rapid basic attacks are completed in an instant, triggering [Phase Rush]!
Jayce moved with lightning speed, his movement speed skyrocketing!
The next moment, Jayce unleashed a powerful QE combo on Aatrox.

The Sword Demon's health was immediately reduced to less than a third.

369 panicked and unleashed a second Q attack, simultaneously activating W [Fiery Chains] to try and pull someone in.

Using the high movement speed from Phase Rush, Su Mo twisted around like a ghost and walked out of the W range, while also dodging Aatrox's Q2 once again!

Uzi exclaimed in the commentary booth, "Jayce's movement was so smooth! 369 missed all his skills!"

After a round of fighting, 369's health was down to just over 100, and all his skills had been used.

Su Mo's murderous intent arose instantly.

Instantly switch to hammer form!
Q: [Leap of the Sky]!
Jayce leaped high into the air and slammed down on Aatrox with tremendous force.

Seeing that things were not going well, 369 decisively used Flash to dodge Jayce's Q damage.

But the next moment, Jayce flashed over, activated W and chased him down with two auto-attacks, then used E to knock him away, switched to cannon form and used an auto-attack to take away his last bit of health.

"First Blood!"

"Wow!!!" A thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd.

Miller shouted, "Solo kill! A pure solo kill in lane! Su Mo used the movement speed from Phase Rush to dodge all of 369's Q skills as if he were dancing! This Jayce is too confident!"

369 stared at the black and white screen, his hands trembling slightly.

However, the crisis has not been resolved.

Although Su Mo got the kill, his health was also reduced by the minions' focused fire, leaving him with only one-third of his health, and his skills were in a cooldown period.

Just then, a pink-haired figure rushed out from the riverbank grass.

It's Kanavi's "V"!

JDG's jungler was farming in the top half of the jungle, and when he saw a fight break out in the top lane, he rushed over to provide support immediately.

Although 369 died, Jayce had no Flash or skills at this time, which was the perfect opportunity to reap the rewards!

"This is going to be bad! Kanavi arrived just in time!" the doll said.

Kanavi didn't rush to use his Q skill, but instead walked up and stuck to Su Mo with the red buff.

Su Mo calmly maneuvered Jayce towards his own tower, trying to reposition himself as much as possible.

Kanavi, seeing that the distance was about right, charged up his Q skill, Power Punch!
If this Q hits, combined with Vi's E skill burst, Jayce with half health will definitely die!
"Die!" Kanavi released the Q key, and Vi's figure rushed towards Jayce like a cannonball.

At this critical moment.

A white light flew over, and at the same time, a golden light barrier suddenly unfolded in front of Jess!

"when!"

Vi's punch slammed into an invisible wall, sending Kanavi flying and leaving him dizzy!
It's Bobby who crawled out of the stone beetle grass patch! Jiejie!

W skill: Unwavering Demeanor!
This is Poppy's absolute restraint against Vi!
Moreover, he saw that Jayce was about to die, so he flashed over to save Jayce, which was very righteous.

"I'm here! Bro! Let's fight back!" Jiejie shouted in the voice chat, and his E skill [Heroic Charge] directly pinned the stunned Vi against the river wall.

Su Mo smiled slightly: "666".

His skill cooldown had just finished.

Combined with Poppy's high percentage damage and crowd control chain, Kanavi's physique simply couldn't withstand it.

Two burly men gave Wei, who was unable to move, a brutal beating.

In the end, Su Mo got the kill again.

"EDG Mo has killed JDG Kanavi!"

"It's blown! Top and jungle are completely destroyed!" PDD shouted. "Jiejie's flash-W combo was brilliant! It was textbook-level teamwork! JDG's top and jungle are going to be in jail again this game!"

The advantage of being on the right side of the road instantly spreads throughout the entire area.

Su Mo went home and immediately pulled out the Serrated Dagger, the Goddess's Tear, and a pair of straw sandals, making him incredibly wealthy.

After Jiejie helped Su Mo push the lane, he swaggered into JDG's upper jungle and stole Kanavi's Krugs.

Meanwhile, other routes were also busy.

In the mid lane, Scout's Sylas played very aggressively.

Although Yagao's Ahri was very agile, Scout, with his precise E skill hits, forced Yagao to use his ultimate and Flash at 5 minutes and 30 seconds, firmly securing control of the mid lane.

In the bottom lane, Viper's Zephyr and Meiko's Lena, while not as aggressive as Lucian and Ana in the early game, didn't give Hope's Sivir any chance thanks to their solid last-hitting.

6 minutes 20 seconds.

EDG secured the first dragon without much effort, thanks to their advantage in the bottom lane.

"EDG's rhythm is too smooth this game," Miller analyzed. "That Jayce in the top lane is a real threat right now. JDG has to find a way to counter him, otherwise once Jayce gets his Eclipse and Manamune, no one can withstand that one shot."

The ordeal on the road continues.

Jayce, with his level and equipment advantage, inflicted a terrible torment on Aatrox.

"This is really tough." Miller looked at the top laners' item lists and couldn't help but shake his head. "At 6:30, they have Serrated Dirk and Doran's Shield, and Jayce is already level 6 with the form-switching bonus from his ultimate. How is 369 supposed to compete in this lane?"

Su Mo controlled Jayce to go online, but did not rush to push the lane.

He glanced at the position of the minion wave, which was positioned right at the river mouth, slightly towards his own side.

Perfect line control position.

So, Su Mo crossed the minion wave and stood right in front of JDG's ranged minion.

He just stood there quietly, not attacking any soldiers. Whenever 369 dared to step into the experience zone, he would pretend to switch to his hammer.

369 looked at Jess, who was dressed in white, and felt incredibly bitter.

"Kanavi, can you take a look? I can't even get any experience points anymore," 369 pleaded humbly in the voice chat.

Kanavi glanced at his newly spawned lower jungle, then at Sylas in the mid lane who had lane priority, and said helplessly, "I can't go there, I need to protect the lower jungle. Besides, Poppy might be counter-ganking in the top lane, and I don't have Flash right now, going in would just be giving away a double kill. You... try to find a way to get some experience."

Listen to experience?
Su Mo didn't even give him that chance.

7 minutes 10 seconds.

369 couldn't resist seeing a low-health melee minion and carefully tried to finish it off with the furthest point of his Q1.

The moment the sword demon drew his blade, Su Mo moved.

Q: [Electrical Energy Oscillation]!
Without any preparatory actions, it was just a simple, unadorned cannon shot.

But then, E [Acceleration Gate] instantly blocked the path of the projectile!
"Vertical cannon!"

As the cannonball passed through the acceleration gate, its size instantly increased and its speed surged. Carrying a crackling electrical charge, it precisely struck the face of the Sword Demon, who was in a dazed state!

"boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The 369 Sword Demon's health bar visibly evaporated by a large margin!

Doll exclaimed, "What kind of damage is that?! One shot takes away a third of my health?! And that's before the armor penetration skill was even finished!"

"That's the power of the Serrated Dirk combined with level advantage," Uzi commented. "Jayce's burst damage is at its highest at this point, while Aatrox hasn't gotten tanky yet. This shot completely negates 369's worth of health potions."

After taking a hit, 369 became completely obedient and could only retreat to the edge of the turret's attack range, watching helplessly as Jayce slowly blocked the wave of minions.

The next two minutes felt like an eternity for 369. Su Mo displayed top-tier understanding of minion waves. Instead of rushing to push the tower, he used the minion wave to keep 369 stuck at the awkward level of 5.

Until the game time reaches 8 minutes and 50 seconds.

A massive wave of minions, having accumulated two or three waves, surged towards the tower.

At this point, Su Mo was already level 7, while 369 had only barely reached level 6.

"The minion wave has reached the tower, but this is the most dangerous moment." PDD stared at the screen, "because Jayce can harass without pressure outside the tower."

Su Mo stood outside the tower's attack range and switched to cannon mode.

W [Supercharge] activated.

Taking advantage of the gap when Aatrox is last-hitting under the tower, use your range advantage to attack, A, A, A!

Three quick basic attacks landed on the Sword Demon, leaving 369 with no room to move or dodge.

Immediately afterwards, Su Mo unleashed another close-range QE combo!

"boom!"

The Sword Demon was once again severely damaged, with less than 300 health remaining.

"I have to go home." 369 gritted his teeth, but if this wave of losses went home, it would really be a disaster.

But if you don't go home, you'll be attacked from behind.

Because on the map, Jiejie's Poppy has already been revealed in the river position.

This is a blatant threat: if you don't leave, we'll cross the tower.

Left with no other option, 369 had to run back to the second tower and return to base, surrendering the tower and minion wave.

"Boom! Boom!"

Su Mo didn't spare the Sword Demon either, and went on a rampage to destroy the towers.

The sound of the plated gold coin falling is crisp and pleasant.

In just a few dozen seconds, Su Mo single-handedly devoured two layers of tower plating. Combined with his previous last hits and kills, his economy completely dominated the entire field.

9 minutes 30 seconds.

After pushing the lane, Su Mo did not greedily continue to chip away at the tower, but instead disappeared into the fog of war.

JDG's mid laner Yagao was clearing the wave under the tower when he suddenly saw a cannon flying towards him.

Su Mo burst out from the river bushes in the middle lane and fired an enhanced cannon shot from an extremely long distance at Ahri.

Yagao reacted quickly, instinctively using his ultimate R ability to dodge.

But that's exactly what Su Mo's goal is—to unleash your key skill.

"Jayce's roaming is so brilliant," Miller exclaimed. "He doesn't need to kill anyone, he just needs to put pressure on you. Now that Yagao doesn't have his ultimate, Scout's Sylas is in a very comfortable position."

Time passed, and the second hand ticked.

Soon, the roar of the Rift Herald echoed throughout Summoner's Rift.

"The Rift Herald has spawned!" Wawa raised his voice. "This timing is crucial. JDG is at a disadvantage in the early game. If they let EDG take down the precarious top lane tower, Jayce will be completely freed up."

At this moment, EDG made a very decisive decision.

Jiejie's Poppy immediately initiated the Vanguard attack.

After clearing the top lane minion wave, Su Mo's Jayce immediately headed to the river to position himself.

Scout's Silas pushed the ball to the center line and then followed closely behind.

Even Meiko, who plays in the bottom lane, is controlling Lena to move towards the mid lane, ready to provide support at any time.

On the other hand, JDG's 369's Aatrox was still dealing with the wave of minions that had just pushed into the top lane's second turret. Kanavi's Vi was nearby, but he was only level 6 and his items were far behind Poppy's.

"This is too hopeless." PDD looked at the minimap. "JDG's lineup is trying to engage in a skirmish, but the hole in the top lane is too big. Look at 369, he only has a Long Sword and a Burning Gem, how is he going to fight against Eclipse Jayce?"

Su Mo stood at the narrow pass of the river, like a guardian deity.

If any JDG player dares to glance at the river, they'll be met with a devastating, enhanced cannon shot.

There was complete silence in JDG's voice chat.

"Let it go," the toothpaste sighed helplessly.

Kanavi gritted his teeth and could only turn around and refresh his F6 to try and minimize the losses.

10 minutes 35 seconds.

With a mournful cry from the Rift Herald, Jiejie steadily secured the Herald's Eye with Smite.

"There's no suspense whatsoever," Miller concluded. "The first ten minutes were completely EDG's pace. Su Mo's Jayce development this game is ahead of schedule. Once the Rift Herald is released and the top lane tower falls, this monster will start roaming the entire map and devouring everyone."

11 minutes 10 seconds.

Jiejie brought the Rift Herald directly to the top lane and released it immediately.

The enormous thing crashed headfirst into the upper tower, which only had two layers of its outer shell remaining.

"Boom!"

The sound effect of the defense tower collapsing plays.

EDG secured the first tower kill.

Su Mo single-handedly consumed all the economy of this tower, and with the previous plating, his pockets were already bulging and almost overflowing.

Returning home to replenish supplies, at 11 and a half minutes, Su Mo crafted [Star Eclipse] and a pair of CD shoes.

"This Jayce... is completely unstoppable." Miller looked at Jayce's equipment bar and gasped. "If the Star Eclipse is completed at this time, combined with the armor penetration of the Serrated Dirk, any squishy hero on JDG's side will be severely injured if they are hit by just one shot."

12 minutes 30 seconds.

Su Mo did not linger in the top lane. Instead, he pushed the lane across the river and switched to the mid lane.

At this moment, the second dragon is about to spawn in one minute.

Scout's Sylas wisely went to the side lane to push the lane, leaving the mid lane to this artillery player.

JDG's mid laner Yagao was currently controlling Ahri to clear the mid lane, while Missing's Lulu was protecting him.

Su Mo stood in the shadow of the F6 partition wall, with no view of the area.

However, he predicted Ahri's movement by observing the minions' vision.

QE second company!

A pale white electromagnetic cannon shot out like a sniper rifle bullet.

"boom!"

Yagao, who was about to use his Q skill to scavenge the minions, suddenly felt a flash on the screen.

Ahri, who was at full health, lost almost half of her health bar in an instant!

Yagao was dumbfounded.

"I don't understand this damage!" Wawa shouted. "One shot and he's crippled! Yagao has to go back to base to resupply. How is JDG supposed to contest this dragon?"

13 minutes 20 seconds.

Taking advantage of their mid-lane advantage, EDG quickly secured vision around the dragon pit.

JDG didn't want to let him go, but their mid laner was in terrible form. 369's Aatrox was still farming in the top lane—he had just built a pair of Ninja Tabi and a Ruby Crystal, and was so poor it was heartbreaking.

"Let it go." Kanavi gritted his teeth, not even daring to step into the river in the jungle.

EDG secured their second dragon.

The dragon soul's attribute for this match has been determined—Hextech Dragon Soul.

"This is good news for EDG," PDD analyzed. "The Hextech Dragon Soul increases skill haste and attack speed, which is very suitable for champions like Jayce and Zeli."

15 minutes 00 seconds.

The game has entered EDG's favorite operational rhythm.

Su Mo returned to the top lane and pushed the lane to the second tower.

369's Aatrox couldn't hold on at all and could only call for the jungler. (End of Chapter)
