LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 96: Against the Drama Team G2! Killing a G2 player offline?

While everyone was joking around, the factory director still pretended to be serious.

Seeing this, Zet walked forward and said, "Brother Kai, are you okay? Did the other person mess with you when we were shaking hands just now?"

Meiko cooperated tacitly: "It must be a conspiracy, suddenly increasing the strength when shaking hands. I saw it on TV!"

The factory manager couldn't hold it in any longer and waved his hand to shoo them away: "Stop it, or I'll laugh out loud."

Abu said: "Well, today's game is over. Let's go back and review it."

So everyone packed up and left the competition venue together to go back to the hotel.

As a result, a group of fans squatted outside the stadium:

"EDG is here! EDG! EDG!"

"Ah! Brother Mozi, your performance today was so cool!"

"Brother Mozi, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

"Director, you finally did it!"

The factory director, who had been maintaining a cool expression, suddenly began to smile wildly.

Su Mo leaned over and said, "Changzi, look, if you want to laugh, then laugh. No one will say anything. The key is whether you can overcome your inner demons and whether you can get hard the next time you see Peanut."

The factory manager asked back: "Isn't my performance today good enough?"

Su Mo asked back: "What do you think?"

"Okay." The factory manager thought about it and agreed. If Su Mo hadn't helped him harass Peanut earlier, this game might not have been so easy to win.

After returning to the hotel, everyone put their things back in the room and then went to eat together.

It is crucial to come back and review the game after eating.

Starting to review the game, the factory manager said: "We were tricked by the opponent at the beginning of the game today, otherwise it wouldn't have been so difficult before. SKT actually prepared this kind of routine for us."

Abu played back the video and said:
"The route and timing of their invasion were quite clever. Four people went out together along the bottom lane to the line, and then entered the river bush from the bottom lane. Look."

At this moment on the screen, Zet's Varus was standing guard at the entrance of the blue BUFF river in the lower jungle of the red side. He could see part of the view of the grass in the lower river.

If the opponent enters the river directly from the triangle grass, Zet will see it, but if the opponent enters the grass from the lower route, he will not be seen.

"Oh my god, these old bitches are too meticulous." Zet sighed.

Meiko: "Otherwise we wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss this time."

The review is still ongoing, and the following scenes are basically all about Su Mo targeting Xiao Huasheng.

No matter where Xiao Huasheng went, Su Mo would catch him and beat him up. Every time he caught someone, he would say "unveil the curtain"...

Meiko suddenly asked, "Xiao Mo, do you have any problem with Xiao Huasheng? I felt that there were a few times when you didn't need to fly him, and it seemed more cost-effective to fly other people."

Abu agreed: "Yeah, I actually feel the same way. Of course, as long as we win the game in the end, it's fine. I'm not blaming you, I just wanted to ask for your thoughts."

Su Mo naturally wouldn't say that this was a task given to him by the system, asking him to break Xiao Huasheng's mentality.

"This is... about taking care of the factory. You all know that the factory may have psychological trauma when encountering Xiao Huasheng, so I will do a little bit to help him overcome his inner demons!" Su Mo made up a lie.

“…” The factory director spread his hands helplessly.

Although this is true, it is still a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.

Meiko noticed the strange expression on the factory manager's face and decisively teased: "Mingkai, we didn't notice the change in your mentality before. As an old teammate, I feel a little ashamed!"

Zet echoed, "Brother Mingkai, we will support you together in the next game. We forgot this time."

"You guys are almost there." The factory manager rolled his eyes at Su Mo, feeling cheated.

Abu walked up and patted the factory director on the shoulder: "It's okay, we are all brothers, and it's normal for us to help each other. We all have good intentions and want you to get out of the shadow as soon as possible."

The factory manager was convinced and rolled his eyes. Even Abu said so.

Can you please stop rubbing salt into people's wounds? !

[Get torture points from the factory manager +20]

"Okay, okay, okay." The factory manager nodded repeatedly. He knew that if he didn't do this, the matter would not be resolved.

After the review, the EDG team continued training.

Abu invited GAM, the representative team of the wild card group.

As the league continues to develop, the wild card division is now getting stronger and stronger.

In the past few seasons, whether it was the S game or the MSI wildcard game, we were basically beaten by robots.

For a strong team like SKT, although they cannot openly give in when facing a wildcard region, they will choose some entertaining heroes to play, such as mid-lane Olaf, and can easily win.

But that’s no longer the case, as the wildcard region is also getting stronger.

If a strong team plays casually against a wild card group, it is possible that they will fail.

Entering BP, outrageous things happened.

This GAM directly snatched Nightmare on the first floor.

Meiko teased, "The opponent is trying to steal your trick, what do you think, Xiao Mo?"

Su Mo responded: "Maybe it's a jungler, it's not my turn to teach him a lesson."

Soon, everyone discovered that this Nightmare was indeed a jungler, because they also chose Galio.

Nightmare Galio, it still feels like a combination.

Abu said: "I remember that I didn't see Nightmare once in the training match a few days ago. It seems that they learned it from watching our game today. We also have to keep learning. Playing in the World Championship is a learning process."

After the game actually started, the situation was much better than the EDG players had imagined.

The opponent's combination looks strong, but if they face off in a group, they are very weak and lack output.

In the end, EDG easily won the training match.

Meiko muttered, "I feel like Nightmare is a hero with a lot of limitations. I thought he was very powerful, but it turns out that Xiao Mo is just too powerful."

Abu explained: "So it's the people who are good, not the heroes themselves. There is a reason why every unpopular hero becomes unpopular."

Late at night, after Su Mo finished training, he took a shower and lay on the bed looking at his phone.

The entire Internet is discussing today's games, and the most discussed one is naturally the opening match between EDG and SKT.

"Who said EDG is an amateur in foreign wars? Stand up!"

"It's okay. EDG never disappoints people. We'll see tomorrow."

"If they can beat SKT, then they can just blindly beat other teams, right?"

"With Brother Mozi, even my grandma can win in the jungle."

"Little Peanut was defended by Brother Mozi today, so it doesn't count."

“But to be honest, it seems like Mozi always wins by using unexpected heroes. I wonder if he can maintain this form in the future.”

Su Mo opened Douyin again and took a look. As soon as he opened it, the first video he saw was his wonderful collection!
Moreover, the person who made the video is also a master of editing, and both the dubbing and BMG are quite good.

"Get ready to harvest!" Mantis uses his ultimate skill to enter the battlefield invisibly!
“Lift the curtain!”

It suddenly got dark!
"It's me, ahahaha..." The mouse appeared and wanted to output.

“Lift the curtain!”

It was dark again.

"Attack from above!"

“Lift the curtain!”

The mantis jumped out from the bushes, the man was still in the air, and it was dark!
Mantis died in various ways and was arrested by Nightmare. In addition, the death action of the hero Mantis was quite funny, so the show effect of the video was maximized.

This video now has over 700,000 likes, and it’s only been a few hours since the game ended.

Su Mo himself laughed at this, and the comments were all:

“This is somewhat personal.”

"Mantis: Me again? How big of a grudge is that?"

"Little Peanut must have offended Brother Mozi in some way."

"I suggest that Peanut admit his mistake first, otherwise he will be in trouble next time."

"Wow, if I were the factory manager, I would definitely be moved to tears."

Su Mo flipped to the back to watch other videos.

Soon, he saw a video reviewing S6.

It specially edited famous scenes such as Zz1tai's horse stepping on flying arrows, Lee Sin flashing R without energy for Q, Olaf's old man reaction to the ultimate move, etc.

However, the latest and most popular comments have now become:

"League of Legends is not about fighting and killing, it's about human relationships. I have a big boss, do you have one?"

"To get involved you need power and teammates. What's the use of your ability to fight? Can you beat my top laner?"

Obviously, this teammate is Su Mo.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day, the group stage continued, and the first game of the day was between SKT and TSM.

The EDG players are resting in the lounge. They will play the second game against G2.

"The game has started, don't you want to watch?" Meiko reminded from the EDG team.

Everyone looked at the screen and found that SKT and TSM players appeared on the stage.

Meiko: "It feels like SKT doesn't have the same momentum as yesterday. Did you guys notice that?"

Abu analyzed: "It's probably because they were scolded by fans after losing to us yesterday. The fans on the LCK side are more extreme and they don't show any mercy when they scold people." Hearing this, everyone felt a chill down their spine. LCK fans do like to stir up trouble, sending razor blades, dead rats, and blocking doors with trucks. These are what they will do.

LCK and LPL don't like each other. For LCK fans, losing to the LPL region is the most unacceptable, even if it is just a group match.

The players from both sides took their positions and entered BP.

Then, an outrageous scene occurred.

TSM released Galio but did not choose himself.

The manager muttered, "Does TSM think they can use Nightmare to counter Galio?"

Su Mo smiled: "It's very likely that they think they can use this method to threaten SKT and make them dare not choose Galio."

So, SKT directly locked Galio on the first floor!

"Oh no, it seems the threat is ineffective." Meiko chuckled.

It's TSM's turn to be in trouble.

After hesitating, TSM really took out Nightmare.

Abu looked at Su Mo and said, "Xiao Mo, do you think this selection by TSM will work?"

Su Mo shook his head: "Now that this routine has been made public, if it is useful, SKT will not release it so easily."

Entering the game screen, the two sides began to fight.

This time Huni learned his lesson. He was very timid in the early game and didn't give Nightmare any chances. He was willing to accept less last hits.

Soon, Galio and Nightmare both reached level six.

SKT entered a defensive state and was not in a hurry to attack.

Meiko analyzed: "I feel it still has some effect. At least when fighting in the upper half, SKT needs to take it easy, otherwise it will be easy to have fewer people fighting more."

Wait until level 8, SKT's first wave of rhythm, Peanut's invasion.

Nightmare used his ultimate to support his teammates. It looked like it was three against two and Galio couldn't get through.

However, Galio used his ultimate, which directly led to TSM’s mid, top and jungle being unable to win and the team collapsed!
"Hey! That's not right. How can Galio use his ultimate?" Meiko didn't understand.

Suddenly, Su Mo reminded: "Mercury Band, Galio has a Mercury Band, which can be used to resolve Nightmare's ultimate skill."

When everyone looked, it was true!
Galio only has a bottle of medicine and a mercury band on him, nothing else!
"This way of playing is too extreme." The factory manager sighed.

Scout explained: "Galio's stats in this version are very abnormal, plus the support effect of his ultimate, it is acceptable to spend money to make a Mercury's Band first, which is equivalent to weakening the effect of Nightmare in half."

Abu continued: "SKT is a three-time champion team after all, with rich experience. They must have been stunned yesterday and didn't expect the nightmare. If they are given some time, they will find a solution."

After hearing this, the EDG players felt pressured.

Yesterday they won by using a surprising tactic, but this tactic has been cracked by SKT.

What should I do next time I encounter it?
It can be seen from yesterday's game that SKT's team battle coordination is very strong.

When EDG is ahead in economy, it is very difficult to fight five against five and it is hard to win.

If we fail to gain an economic lead next time, or even fall behind, the difficulty of the team battle will be hellish.

"Xiao Mo, do you have any other tactical reserves? The kind that are very unpopular and the opponent has basically never seen before. Of course, we haven't seen them either..." Meiko looked at Su Mo.

"Well... not yet. I haven't thought about it yet." Su Mo replied.

Abu said: "In any case, let's win the game first. We can discuss the tactics and routines after we go back."

"The next game is ours against G2. After a little preparation, we will go on stage."

So everyone in EDG started to prepare.

At this moment, the system voice sounded:
[Ding! The host's next game is detected to be against G2, triggering a hidden task]

[Task 1: Refuse to play, get the title: Cowardly Lizard]

[Task 1: Accept the challenge, reward a random hero proficiency card, use the random hero to participate in the game, and choose the mid-lane position to win the game, reward: Hero Ultimate Proficiency Card*]

[Task 2: Before the game starts, secretly go to the G lounge, PK with any player offline and beat him up so that he cannot play. Reward title: Arena Thug]

Su Mo couldn't hold it anymore. He would definitely not choose the cowardly lizard.

For task three, go to the opposing locker room and kill a G2 player alone?

This is not just Chun Chun going to die. There are so many people on the opposite side.

The system tasks are getting more and more outrageous...

As for the second task, if you accept it, you will be rewarded with a random proficiency card, but you must use the randomly selected hero on the field, and you can only play in the middle lane.

Let’s not talk about whether Scout is willing to change his position. Even if he does, what if a weird hero comes out?

Su Mo frowned and thought for two seconds.

He found that he had no other choice.

"Task two, mission two."

As Su Mo confirmed it in his heart, the system prompt sounded:
[Task selection successful, reward: Random Hero Ultimate Skill Card]

[Randomly drawing...]

[Obtain the Starchild Soraka Proficiency Card]

"Another wet nurse? That's enough, let's switch!"

[Do you want to spend 1000 torture points to re-randomize? ]

"Yes."

[Consuming 1000 torture points, randomly selecting...]

[Spider Queen Elise, remaining torture points 1963]

"Ah? Not him, buddy... I'm playing in the middle lane." When Su Mo saw that it was Spider, he felt like the sky was falling.

Can this hero play mid lane? I feel like he's not as good as a nurse playing mid lane.

"Can you change it back? Give me back my torture points!"

However, the system did not respond.

"Okay, okay, let's play like this, right?"

There are 1963 points left, and you can choose randomly once more.

But just once!

There are only about twenty usable mid-lane heroes. From a probability perspective, it is difficult to get one randomly.

What should I do if the next time might be even worse?
Su Mo was still hesitating when Abu called out:
"It's almost time, let's go on stage."

Everyone stood up and walked out of the lounge.

This was embarrassing. Su Mo could only bite the bullet and follow his teammates forward, saying:
"How about I play mid in this game?"

After these words were spoken, everyone in EDG looked back.

Of course, they just took a quick look and didn't take it seriously. They thought Su Mo was joking or that they were hallucinating.

Su Mo reiterated: "I will play mid in this game, how about Scout go to top?"

Abu was shocked: "What are you talking about? Why did you suddenly change positions?"

Scout looked confused. The key point was that Su Mo did not discuss it with him in advance. Why did he only tell him now? Wasn't everything fine before?

At this time, everyone had walked out to the corridor, and the G2 members appeared in front.

Su Mo suddenly had an idea, and he said, "Actually, I have already made an agreement with Perkz. I want to duel with him in the middle lane."

Everyone was even more confused as they had been staying with Su Mo these past few days.

When did Su Mo meet Perkz? How come they didn't know?
Abu asked, "Are you kidding us? You are kidding, right?"

Su Mo sighed: "Alas, there is nothing I can do. It is probably because I performed well on the field yesterday. Perkz is a person who likes challenges, so he took the initiative to come to me and said that he wanted to practice with me."

Abu retorted: "Then you can't just agree to practice with him because he wants to practice with you. Just tell him that you are the top laner."

Su Mo suddenly became serious: "This concerns the dignity of our LPL. Since the other party has come to our door, we can't back down! If I back down today, how will the world view our LPL players in the future?"

"Ah?" Abu's jaw almost dropped to the ground. Is it that serious?
Why would a top laner have to play mid lane just because the other team asked him to? That's unjust!

At this time, the EDG players had already walked to the back of the stage, a few meters away from the G2 players.

Seeing that Abu Abu still didn't believe it, Su Mo took the initiative to greet Perkz:
"Perkz."

"Hi, I watched your game yesterday. You performed very well, awesome!" Perkz responded decisively and did not forget to praise Su Mo.

"Well, I'm playing mid today." Su Mo deliberately emphasized the word 'Mid', mainly so that his teammates and coach could hear it.

Perkz was stunned after hearing this and seemed not to understand the situation.

Su Mo continued, "See you in the middle, I hope this will be a fun game."

"OK! No problem." Perkz smiled.

Su Mo looked at Abu: "Look, I said he took the initiative to find me."

Abu looked at Su Mo with suspicion: "Really?"

"Yes!"

At the commentary booth at the game, Wawa, Miller and Guan Zeyuan were ready.

Guan Zeyuan explained:

"The second game of the day is about to begin, with EDG from the LPL region facing G2 from the LEC region. Both teams are now undefeated, which means someone is going to lose once!"
