LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

15 minutes 30 seconds.

At this moment, Su Mo was no longer just a top laner; he was more like a god of war.

Jayce, having completed the [Eclipse] and [Mana] sets, has reached an incomprehensible level of damage output.

"Jiejie, come with me and control the vision in the upper jungle completely," Su Mo said in the voice chat. "Scout, go to the bottom lane and push the lane, keep Ahri occupied. We'll drive JDG's people into the jungle."

"Roger that!"

Jiejie's Poppy scan was activated, clearing a crucial defensive ward behind JDG's red buff. Meiko's Lena, meanwhile, had placed protective wards in the mid-lane river.

JDG is now in a very passive position.

The second tower on the top lane is under attack, and 369's Aatrox doesn't dare to defend it at all.

"We have no choice but to give up this second tower." 369 looked at Jayce, who was standing outside the turret's range, eager to attack, and felt bitter. "If he hits me with his QE, I'll have to go home."

Redmi, watching from the rest area, frowned: "We can't keep giving up like this. If we keep doing this, the Baron will spawn in 20 minutes and we'll be done for. Kanavi, find an opportunity to initiate a fight!"

16 minutes 40 seconds.

An opportunity seems to have arrived.

Viper's Zeli was slightly ahead of the lane when clearing the wave in the mid lane.

Kanavi's Vi had been crouching at F6, and upon seeing this, she decisively used Q to flash over the wall!
"We've got it!!" Guan Zeyuan roared, "Kanavi was incredibly decisive this time! He went straight for the head on Zeli!"

Vi's ultimate ability charged unstoppably toward Zeli.

However, Viper's reaction was also top-notch. Instead of using Flash to escape, he used his E skill to jump over the wall into his own jungle, attempting to lure Vi into EDG's encirclement.

"Help me!" Viper shouted into the voice chat.

"Don't be afraid!" Su Mo's voice rang out coldly.

At this point, Jayce, who was originally in the top lane, had already disappeared from the lane.

As Kanavi's ultimate ability landed, Missing's Lulu flashed to use Polymorph on Zephyr, attempting to follow up with crowd control to instantly kill Zephyr—

A deep blue, enhanced electromagnetic cannon, like an intercontinental ballistic missile, roared out from the shadow of the F6 partition wall!

The angle of the shot was extremely tricky, and it passed right through the narrow terrain pass.

"Boom!!!"

Sivir and Lulu, who were following up with their attacks, took the full brunt of that shot!
Lulu's health bar instantly turned red. Although Sivir activated her E shield to block some of the damage, she still lost a third of her health due to the splash damage!

"What kind of damage is that?!" Uzi exclaimed. "One shot blew up JDG's backline! This team fight is over before it even started!"

Su Mo's shot directly deterred JDG's offensive desire.

With low health, Lulu dared not advance. Kanavi's Vi ventured too far alone, but was instantly pulled back by Meiko's Leona's Q skill. With Viper's counterattack, she had no choice but to use Flash to escape.

"It's a pity, I almost killed him." Jiejie said with some regret.

"No rush." ​​Su Mo switched to hammer form and cleared a group of F6. "If we cripple them, they won't be able to take the third dragon."

18 minutes 20 seconds.

The third winning hand has been revealed.

At this moment, JDG faces a difficult choice.

Let it go? That means they're close to getting the Earth Dragon Soul, making EDG even stronger in the late game.

What? Jess was watching from the flank.

"I have to go." Yagao gritted his teeth. "If I can charm Jayce, I can kill him instantly."

JDG's five players grouped up and cautiously made their way from the blue buff jungle towards the river.

This short stretch of road felt like a corridor leading to hell to them.

Because the field of vision is completely dark.

"Meiko, give me a ward." Su Mo marked the JDG blue buff bush.

Meiko understood immediately, and a visionary transformation illuminated the bushes.

Sure enough, the JDG players were huddled there.

Su Mo stood in the grass along the middle of the river, not in a hurry to fire his cannon.

He was waiting, waiting for the perfect moment.

That is, the moment when the JDG team thought they were safe and stepped out of the bushes.

QE second company!

This time, Su Mo predicted JDG's positioning. The cannonballs weren't aimed at the front line, but grazed Aatrox's body and blasted towards Sivir and Ahri in the back.

"Oh!"

Another huge explosion rang out.

Yagao's Ahri was blasted away and lost half of her health!

"Another shot!" Miller shouted. "Who can withstand this! Before even seeing anyone, half of his health is gone! This is the terror of poke-style Jayce; the mid-game is his time to dominate!"

JDG's formation was instantly thrown into disarray.

Hope's Sivir could only unleash her ultimate: "Charge! We can't let him fight for nothing! Charge in and force an engagement!"

JDG, using Sivir's ultimate to accelerate, charged towards the river like madmen.

Kanavi's Vi is willing to go to any lengths to find Jayce's location.

But Su Mo had already used the acceleration door to create some distance, slippery as an eel.

The fox was even more decisive, using a RE flash to try and control Jayce.

Unfortunately, Jayce also flashed at the same time, dodging the fatal charm.

"Pull them away, don't try to take it head-on," Su Mo commanded. "Jiejie, pull the dragon out."

JDG made a hasty attack on nothing, only to be caught off guard and poke several times by Zeli.

Just when things seemed hopeless, Su Mo's Jess CD was working again.

Another shot!
This time, the target is Ahri, who is low on health.

Yagao used his ultimate ability to dash away, barely dodging the attack.

But this shot disrupted JDG's formation.

"I'm going in!" Su Mo saw an opportunity, instantly switched to hammer form, and activated W Lightning Field.

flash!

Q: [Leap of the Sky]!
Jayce crashed into the back row of JDG players like a white meteorite.

E [Thunder Strike]!
Su Mo didn't greedily deal damage; instead, he used his hammer to knock Lulu, who was trying to use her ultimate, away.

"That was the decisive blow!" Wawa shouted. "That entry was so cool! It disrupted JDG's strategy!"

Scout's Sylas stole Ahri's ultimate and immediately followed up to reap the rewards.

JDG suffered a crushing defeat.

Viper Zeli unleashed her ultimate ability, unleashing devastating damage with the support of Lenata's W ability.

A wave of 0 for 3.

EDG secured their third dragon.

The game is almost over, with only one step left to go.

……

20 minutes exactly.

Baron Nashor's roar froze the atmosphere in Summoner's Rift to an absolute zero.

At this moment, Su Mo's score was 5-0-2, and his equipment bar contained the Star Eclipse, Magic Cleaver, and Serilda's Resentment (slowing blade) three-piece set.

At this point in time, Jayce with three core items is truly a one-shot kill.

EDG didn't rush to take the dragon, but instead began to suppress vision.

"Jiejie, place the true sight wards above the dragon pit."

“Meiko, take a deeper look. I need to know the position of 369.”

Su Mo stood in the middle lane, blocking all of JDG's routes to the river.

JDG's map was completely black.

EDG destroyed all the wards and cleared all the vision.

"The vision pressure is too much." 369 looked at the dark jungle area, his palms sweating. "I don't dare to face-check the bushes at all. Jayce could be anywhere."

Missing tried using Lulu to make her eyes.

I just walked into the red buff bush.

"boom!"

A single shot was fired.

Lulu, who was at full health, was instantly reduced to a sliver of health!

Missing was so scared that he scrambled to shield himself and use his ultimate to barely save his life. But after using his ultimate, he had to go back to base to replenish his supplies, which meant that JDG was now one player short in the fight for Baron.

"Go home! Missing, hurry home and recover!" Kanavi shouted anxiously. "We can't afford to be short one player this time!"

But how could EDG let this opportunity slip by?
"Their support skills are gone, it seems they've recalled to base, let's rush!" Su Mo decisively ordered.

EDG's five players quickly gathered at the Baron pit.

The speed at which it kills dragons is extremely fast.

By the time JDG realized what was happening, Baron's health had already dropped by half.

"Go! We have to go! If we don't get one, it'll be gone!" Redmi was so anxious backstage that she kept stamping her feet.

JDG's four players gritted their teeth and squeezed into the river.

Su Mo stopped attacking the dragon and stood alone above the dragon pit, looking down at the JDG team.

He's like a gatekeeper boss.

"I don't fight dragons, I fight people." Su Mo's lips curled up slightly.

He didn't rush to fire, but instead used a basic attack on the Sword Demon who was charging at the front.

The slowing effect has been triggered!
369 is struggling to make progress.

Kanavi's Vi wanted to try using Smite in the Dragon Pit.

Su Moka positioned himself perfectly, and the instant Vi charged up her Q, he switched to hammer form, jumped into the dragon pit, and slammed Vi back with his hammer!
"Go back here!" PDD laughed. "That hammer blow was absolutely amazing! Kanavi is about to cry. The Dragon Pit is so close, yet it feels like it's a world away!"

"Roar!"

With Baron Nashor letting out a mournful cry, Jiejie secured the Baron with a clean Smite.

Outside the Dragon Pit, Su Mo's Jess switched to cannon mode again.

He unleashed a triple W shot at the JDG players who were trapped in the river.

Every basic attack comes with the effects of Manamune and Slowing Blade, causing excruciating pain to anyone who hits it.

"Keep them! Keep them!"

"Don't let anyone go!"

With the Baron buff, the entire EDG team charged out of the Baron pit like tigers descending a mountain.

At this moment, JDG's defenses completely collapsed.

With the Baron buff, the EDG team was like a beast unleashed, relentlessly pursuing JDG's crumbling tail. "Don't let them get away! Don't let a single one escape!" Jiejie roared like a war god in the voice chat. Poppy activated her W and charged ahead, flashing and wall-slamming Vi, who was positioned further back.

Kanavi had no room to maneuver at this point. He had been caught out by Poppy's crowd control, and before he could even wake up, a blue plasma cannonball exploded with a deafening roar.

"boom!"

Su Mo's single shot instantly melted Wei, who was at half health!

"EDG Mo has killed JDG Kanavi!"

"Still chasing! Still chasing!" Wawa shouted hoarsely, "Brother Mozi is going berserk! Phase Rush triggered, this Jayce is faster than Poppy!"

On the screen, Jayce, dressed in a white suit, moved with incredible speed, using the acceleration gate to instantly close the distance with JDG's two carries.

Yagao's Ahri and Hope's Sivir could only flee for their lives.

But Su Mo's killing intent was already made up.

Instantly switch to hammer form!
Flash! Q [Leap of Faith]!
Jayce leaped high into the air, his Mercury's Hammer slamming down with the force of a thunderbolt at Sivir, who had no Flash available.

Although Hope activated his E skill shield, the shield was as thin as paper in the face of the huge level and equipment gap.

E [Thunder Strike]!
Su Mo swung his hammer, sending Sivir flying back, landing right in front of Viper Zeli who had followed up.

Zeli unleashed a barrage of attacks and easily secured the kill.

As for the remaining Ahri and Aatrox, they were quickly overwhelmed and fell to the ground by the five EDG players.

ACE!

Destroy the group!

"One wave! One wave!" Miller shouted excitedly, "22 minutes! Just 22 minutes! EDG's minion wave with the Baron buff has reached the high ground! JDG only has 30 seconds left to respawn, there's no way they can make it in time!"

There is no suspense.

EDG's five players, accompanied by their enhanced vehicle units, bulldozed JDG's mid-lane inhibitor tower and crystal.

The two turret towers crumbled like biscuits under Jayce's W skill's triple attack.

The scene froze as Su Mo landed his final basic attack on the red base crystal.

"boom!!!"

The crystal shattered, revealing a dazzling display of the word "Victory".

"Congratulations to EDG!!" Wawa stood up from the commentary booth and shouted, "2-0! No hesitation! A 22-minute stomp! EDG has the match point!"

In the commentary booth, Uzi was still savoring Jayce's shots, shaking his head: "This Jayce... is really too exaggerated. I have reason to suspect that Mozi's Jayce's cannonballs were loaded with nuclear bombs. The damage was completely incomprehensible. 369's Aatrox didn't even get a chance to touch him before he was gone."

Miller exclaimed, "Yes, that's the dominance of the LPL's number one player. No matter what champion you target him with, he can always pull out another champion to teach you a lesson. This game's Jayce was textbook-level kiting and textbook-level poke!"

The commentator added with a laugh, "I'm more worried about 369's mentality. In the first game, he got completely crushed by the AP Titan, and in the second game, he was treated like a toy by Jayce. In this third game... can JDG hold on?"

……

The audience was filled with joy.

Countless EDG team flags waved in the air, and glow sticks gathered to form the three large characters "EDG".

More often, however, were the voices calling out that ID.

"Mo! Mo! Mo!"

The unified shouts shook the roof of the stadium.

The director was also considerate, giving a close-up shot to a few female fans in the front row. They were holding up huge light boards that read:

[Attracted by looks, captivated by talent, loyal to character, and utterly impressed by skill!]

[LPL's One and Only King—Mo!]

Inside the live stream, the barrage of comments was so thick that the image was almost completely obscured.
【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[Is it already time to leave work? I was watching a ramen noodle-making competition and it's over?]

This is too brutal! It's like a complete dimensional reduction attack!

[369: Even if you roll a 9, it's useless; the other side rolled an atomic bomb!]

Is this the King of Singers? He DJs so fast!

[A thorough investigation into Su Mo's urine test is recommended. Was this Jayce playing with a script? That positioning that negated all his skills was outrageous!]

[Coach Hongmi is probably pulling his hair out backstage right now. How do he even draft? There are just too many bans to keep up with!]

I have a feeling EDG will win the championship undefeated again!

……

Intermission.

The atmosphere in EDG's lounge was as relaxed as if it were Chinese New Year.

"Awesome! So awesome!" Jiejie collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she entered the room. "Playing games with Brother Mozi is so comfortable. I'm only responsible for controlling the dragon, and the rest is just watching him set off fireworks on top of it."

Viper smiled shyly and said, "Brother Mo, you're amazing. Really amazing."

Su Mo unscrewed a bottle of water, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and then looked at Abu: "Didn't the boss call to add a bonus?"

Abu laughed and scolded, "Are you obsessed with money? Don't worry, the boss said that as long as we win 3-0 today, the whole team will go to the Maldives for a team-building trip, and everyone will get a big bonus!"

"Wow! The boss is so generous!" the crowd cheered.

Although the atmosphere was relaxed, Abu still pulled out his tactical board and said, "Alright, no more champagne at halftime. JDG often unleashes amazing energy when they're in dire straits. The next game is their do-or-die match, and they'll definitely pull out all the stops. We need to be prepared."

Su Mo leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and said calmly, "No matter what they take, in the next round, just give them a break."

……

On the other side of the corridor, in JDG's lounge, there was only silence.

It was as if even the air had frozen.

369 lowered her head, clutching her hair tightly with both hands.

Two rounds, both rounds were completely crushed.

No matter what he chose or how he played, the man named Mo on the other side was like an insurmountable mountain, pressing down on him and making it hard for him to breathe.

"I'm sorry... Coach, I'm sorry everyone." 369's voice was hoarse. "I really... can't beat him. I want to be substituted. Can I have the substitute come on?"

Coach Hongmi took a deep breath as he looked at the boy whose confidence had been almost shattered.

He didn't scold him, but walked over and said, "369! Are you a coward?! Losing to the world's number one top laner isn't shameful! But if you run away now, you'll be a coward for the rest of your life!"

"A substitute? Putting a substitute in at this time, are you trying to send him up to take the blame and die?"

Kanavi also came over. Although he was also desperate, he knew that they couldn't afford to fight amongst themselves at this time.

He patted 369 on the shoulder: "Don't pick a warrior this time, and don't even think about carrying. Just pick the tankiest one, like Sion, or even Malphite. Just stay under the tower and don't come out an inch."

Yagao gritted his teeth: "That's right! Top lane will withstand the pressure, we'll focus on mid and bot! We're betting on team fights! I don't believe they can have such a smooth game every time!"

Coach Hongmi turned around and wrote a few words heavily on the tactics board.

"Next game, no matter what they pick, we'll stick with the same strategy."

"Our last trump card."

"If we still lose, then we'll accept it. But at least we'll die standing!"

……

The short break is over.

When both contestants returned to the stage, the atmosphere became somewhat delicate.

On the EDG side, everyone was chatting and laughing. Su Mo even waved to the camera below the stage, which caused a burst of screams.

On the JDG side, everyone's face was filled with determination and tragic resolve.

Wawa keenly noticed this: "It seems JDG has adjusted quickly. Although their expressions are serious, there's still a light in their eyes. This third game will probably be the most intense one today."

Uzi nodded: "Yes, a beast cornered in a desperate situation is the most dangerous. Let's see if JDG can rein in their horses at the edge of the cliff, or... get kicked off by EDG."

The BP interface lights up.

In the decisive game, JDG had the first choice of side, and they still chose the blue side.

JDG made changes to their first three bans.

They no longer ban those flashy heroes, but instead completely shut down all heroes capable of split-pushing strategies:

Fiora, Camille, Jax.

"Oh? Is this forcing Mozi to engage in team fights?" Miller raised an eyebrow. "Blocking split pushing is basically saying: Come on, let's have a 5v5 team fight!"

EDG banned Zephyr, Sivir, and Yuumi.

The selection process begins.

JDG first pick:
Eye of Twilight - Beware!

"Shen?!" The entire audience gasped in surprise.

This hero isn't popular in the current version, but its tactical significance is immense.

"Is this to protect emissions?" the doll analyzed. "Or is it global flow support?"

Immediately afterwards, JDG locked in Hecarim for jungle and Galio for support!
With the mid laner not yet released, this top, jungle, and support combination has an incredibly strong ability to engage in team fights!
"This...this is the 'Fight for You' strategy!" Uzi understood. "Shen's ultimate is used on Hecarim who's engaged, Galio's ultimate is used on Hecarim who's engaged again...this is putting all the bets on a strong engage!"

EDG here.

Since the opponent is going to charge in, then we should use the counter-attack.

EDG selected: Lee Sin (jungle), Aphelios (AD), and Braum (support).

Finally, only the mid laners from both sides and EDG's top laner remained to be selected.

JDG's fourth pick: Taliyah.

Block the road, provide support, and coordinate the charge.

JDG's lineup is all about going for a one-shot kill, a fight to the death!
The pressure is now on EDG's final pick, which is Su Mo's.

Everyone held their breath.

Faced with this lineup that charges in, has a lot of crowd control, and provides extremely fast support, what would he choose?
Su Mo looked at the screen, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Want to team fight? Want to charge at my face?"

"Then let's see if your horseshoes are harder, or if my powder keg is more explosive."

Su Mo slowly moved the mouse and locked onto an avatar wearing a pirate hat and with a full beard.

"Only I can lead us to victory!"

The Ocean Disaster – Planck!

"captain!"

The three commentators shouted in unison.

Miller said, "This is a lesson in humility! It's a blatant lesson in humility! In the first game, 369 picked Gangplank and got completely crushed by Mozi's Titan. In this last game, Mozi countered by picking Gangplank! He's trying to show 369 how to play Gangplank properly!!"

This is what you call killing someone by destroying their spirit!
The lineup is finalized.

JDG (Blue Side): Top laner Shen, jungler Hecarim, mid laner Taliyah, AD Kai'Sa, support Galio.

Red team EDG: Top laner Gangplank, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Akali, AD carry Aphelios, support Braum.

Games start.

Su Mo's captain also led the team with the First Strike + Future Market strategy.

Since you insist on playing the Shen-style defensive support role, then I'll blow you up and bankrupt you before you even get a chance to provide support! (End of Chapter)
