LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 152: Garen cuts off the minion line at level . What the hell? Garen is sending himself to death?
Seeing EDG performing well on the field, Su Mo was in a good mood.

"It seems like I don't have to play in the game today, great!" Su Mo exclaimed with a smile.

Abu looked over and said cheerfully, "You want to be lazy again, right? It's ok that you don't play in the training matches, but now you don't even want to play in the games!"

"Brother Bu, you don't understand. I'm giving A Guang a chance to gain experience." Su Mo said without hesitation.

But Abu didn't buy his tricks anymore and just curled his lips: "Ha! Ha! Da! You're telling ghosts what you're talking about!"

If most people are lazy, they will probably be scolded.

But Su Mo has always performed well on the court, so Abu won't say anything.

Winning the game is the most important thing, everything else is just embellishment.

Soon, all the EDG members came back and were very happy.

Ah Guang said, "I thought this NB was very strong, but it feels just like this."

The factory manager joked: "Mouse is playing with confidence, so I feel that they are really not good enough."

Meiko laughed: "You seem to be implying Mouse."

Ah Guang found Su Mo and said, "Brother Mozi, how was my performance in the last game?"

"Very impressive." Su Mo nodded in praise, but his tone was somewhat perfunctory.

But for A Guang, this was already a rare opportunity and made him very happy.

On the other side, in NB's lounge.

After losing a game, they were embarrassed.

I spent so much time studying EDG before the game, but now I suddenly find that I can't beat them, and this is when A Guang is here.

The coach's face looked a little grim. He said, "I told you before, this BO3 is very important to us. We must win it."

"We spent a lot of time preparing, but now this is the result. The opponent didn't even have five starters, and we can't beat them?"

V defended himself: "I have my reasons. I was focusing on their top laner Mo during this period and ignored Mouse. I didn't expect this guy to be able to hold on."

Wushuang also agreed with this statement: "To be honest, I think Scout is much more difficult to deal with than Mo. If he plays, it will actually weaken EDG's overall strength."

The coach sighed helplessly: "But we are not their coaches, how can I decide who they play?"

Of course there is no way around this.

V said: "Anyway, it's a pity today that Mozi didn't play, otherwise I would definitely be C."

V's idea is very simple, since Su Mo won't go up, just brag more.

This way, if he loses the game in the end, his share of the blame will be smaller.

On the EDG side, Su Mo was waiting for the second game to start. He was already thinking about what to eat after the game.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came:

[Detect that the host's opponent's team is relatively weak, and V in the opposing team is quite interested in fighting the host, triggering a hidden task:

Task 1: Go to NB Lounge and play SOLO with V. Reward title: Only play real things.

Task 2: Do not go on stage, continue to watch the water dispenser, reward title: Water dispenser caretaker
Task 1: Go to the game, play the single position, use the disconnection hero randomly given by the system to break V's mentality, reward: Ultimate Proficiency Card. 】

Su Mo was shocked. Why did V suddenly attack him? It seemed that he had never provoked him before.

But now that the mission has been issued, we can only accept it.

"Let me play in the next game, A Guang, you take a rest." Su Mo suddenly spoke.

Ah Guang was stunned after hearing this: "Huh? So sudden?
Su Mo replied: "I suddenly... felt itchy and wanted to go up and fight."

Everyone in EDG looked at each other in confusion. What the hell was going on?

My hands are itching... This reason is a bit far-fetched.

However, coach Abu was not opposed to this kind of thing: "If Guang has no objection, I will report to the referee and tell him that we have made a substitution."

Ah Guang naturally had no objection: "It's okay, I was originally a substitute and I listened to Brother Mozi's arrangements. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have so many opportunities to play now."

So the EDG lineup was settled.

On the NB side, everyone was discussing how to target A Guang and find a breakthrough from him to win the game.

Scout in the middle is too strong, and it is definitely impossible to break through him.

Everyone was discussing heatedly, when suddenly a staff member appeared at the door and reminded:
"EDG made a lineup change, replacing Mo in the top lane and Mouse going off to rest."

Hearing this, everyone in NB was stunned. What was going on?
Wushuang smiled: "Here comes the chance, V. Isn't it hard for us to win? Because Guang is too steady. Now it's Mo's turn, just what you want!"

V was wondering in his heart that what he said just now was a bit of bragging. He judged that since EDG won, they should not change players, so bragging didn't matter.

Anyway, there is no possibility of being slapped in the face.

But what's wrong with EDG now? Why do they change players even after winning the game?
"V? V? Can you hear me?" Wuzhuang shook V's arm.

V had no choice but to say, "Okay, here's the chance."

He thought that he could only give it a try, and judging from the previous matches, Su Mo was indeed not that good, so maybe he really had a chance.

Wushuang continued: "I will protect you in this game and go to the top lane. You just need to fight well in the top lane."

Swift also stated her position: "I have no problem with that. I will go on the road if I get a chance."

The short break passed quickly, and at the live commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan, Rita, and Wang Duoduo were ready.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "Welcome back. The second match between the two teams is about to begin. In the last match, EDG won the game with a stable performance."

"Mouse's performance was average. In fact, when facing top laners from mid-tier teams, Mouse was not at all inferior. Of course, if he faced a top laner, then there would be some problems."

Rita suddenly said: "I received news from the front. EDG has made a substitution in this game. It's Mozi! Mozi is playing in the top lane!"

Wang Duoduo expressed his confusion: "Ah? Didn't EDG win the last game? Why did they change players after winning? Did they discuss it in advance, so that each player would play one round?"

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
"Here he comes! Brother Mozi is finally here!"

"EDG coaching staff must have seen the comments, so they decided to replace him with Mozi."

"Can a competition still be called a competition without Brother Mozi?"

"That's right. It's time to let Brother Mozi come up and show off."

The players from both teams came on stage. When Su Mo of EDG appeared on the stage, the audience was excited:

"Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi!"

Fans chose to welcome Su Mo instead of EDG.

After arriving at his seat, Su Mo put on his headphones and the second game began.

[Randomly selecting a hero...]

【Devil Clown ^0^ Sarco】

Su Mo raised his eyebrows:
"Change!"

Although the Joker can click W to disconnect at level 1, it is useless in team fights.

[Consumed 1000 torture points, remaining 1968 torture points]

[Randomly selecting a hero...]

[The Power of Demacia - Garen]

Now here comes Garen.

Entering the second game's BP, EDG is on the blue side and NB is on the red side.

At this time, V on NB's side volunteered: "Give me the counter position on the fifth floor! Let me pick second, I can destroy the top lane!"

He was not very confident at first, but when he saw that he was on the red side and had a counter position, his confidence exploded!

Because he found that Su Mo's previous routine was only effective against some heroes.

Just like Bien, if he encounters some warrior heroes who don't need a blue bar, such as the crocodile, he will have no chance to touch the defense tower.

Therefore, the applicability of these routines is very narrow. As long as he can choose the hero later, he can sanction!

Seeing V so confident, Uzi felt relieved: "Okay, we'll just watch your performance this time." Then the game entered the hero BAN stage.

EDG: Rambo, Prince, Shen
NB: Airplane, Mantis, Barrel

Seeing this BP, Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "In this game, EDG banned three top laners, which is rare, while NB banned mid and jungle players."

"Then there's NB, targeting the mid and jungle. EDG's mid and jungle are getting better and better. The summer version is very friendly to Zweichang, and he can use all the heroes. We really need to target them."

Enter the hero selection phase.

EDG on the blue side locked onto Kalista on the first floor.

NB got Rek'Sai and Varus on the first and second floors.

Immediately afterwards, EDG got the gem and Sejuani on the second and third floors.

Rita commented: "EDG's mid and top players haven't been revealed yet. I'm curious what kind of surprises Mozi will bring to everyone today."

"Besides, NB has not played mid and top lane yet. This game will probably focus on the mid and top lanes. These two positions may determine the direction of the game."

NB got Tam on the third floor and entered the second round of BP. NB banned Alchemist and Joker.

EDG also bans Lucian and Jayce.

NB locked Galio on the fourth floor.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "It's actually Galio? Wushuang should be the core C position of NB. He is willing to be a supporting role now, but who is he supporting? Bottom lane or top lane?"

Rita muttered, "It can't be the jungler. The jungler is Rek'Sai, and he can't be a core."

It's EDG's turn to choose, EDG got Kassadin!

Wang Duoduo commented: "In the current version, Kassadin's appearance rate is very high. He can be in the top five among mid laners. There are not many versions where Kassadin can be on the field."

"EDGBAN's loss of Lucian and Jayce is very crucial. Kassadin and Galio are actually afraid of facing off against physical mid laners, so now is the perfect time for them to be released."

Rita continued: "Yes, EDG's top laner hasn't been released yet, so what is Mozi going to play?"

With everyone looking forward to it, the director also turned the camera to Su Mo. At this moment, EDG showed a Garen on the fifth floor. After this Garen was shown, no one reacted, and everyone thought it was a joke until he was selected.

Rita exclaimed: "Garen on the top? Mozi actually chose Garen? I've played this hero before, when I first started playing this game."

Wang Duoduo joked: "If you say so, Garen should be one of the most popular heroes. Is this the benefit that Mozi-ge gave us? Does she want to teach us how to use the simplest hero to gain points?"

On the NB side, V laughed miserably when he saw Garen was picked: "Hahahaha, he picked Garen first, he's really a genius!"

"It's a pity that I don't have Rambo anymore, otherwise I would torture him to death. But it's okay, I have plenty of heroes to fight Garen...Give me Kennen, I'll beat him up!"

So V locked onto Kennen on the fifth floor, and the lineups of both teams were determined:

Blue side EDG: Garen on top, Sejuani in jungle, Kassadin in mid, Kalista in ADC, Gem in support

Red team NB: Top Kennen, Jungle Rek'Sai, Mid Galio, ADC Varus, Support Tam
Seeing the lineups of both sides, Guan Zeyuan commented: "Kennen vs. Garen is actually very easy to play. It is almost impossible for Garen to get close to Kennen unless he flashes, so the top lane will become a one-sided beating."

"Of course, this is just one person's opinion. Maybe Brother Mozi has some special way to fight back."

Wang Duoduo touched his chin and analyzed: "Because this is a professional game, it is hard for me to imagine how Garen and Kennen can not be suppressed in the laning. The restraint relationship between these two heroes is too obvious."

"Kennen's E skill is much faster than Garen's Q. As long as he saves his Q skill, Garen will never be able to touch it in his life. Garen doesn't have any ability to advance."

"The most important point is that everyone should not forget that Kennen has another killer move, which is to build AD. Don't think that it's easy to fight Kennen when Garen builds Mercury's Boots. Kennen can build Ruined King and switch to AD."

Guan Zeyuan and Wang Duoduo are at a loss as to what to do. It feels like they don't know where to start when it comes to praising Garen.

Rita said: "Although what you said makes sense, I still support Brother Mozi. I think he can do it!"

Entering the game screen, the director signaled the summoner skills of both sides.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "In this match, Garen brought Sprint and TP, while Kennen brought Flash and TP. The other nine players all had Flash, but only Garen brought Sprint."

On the EDG side, the factory manager is discussing tactics:
"Xiao Mo, I don't know how to help you in this game. Kennen is so flexible, you have no chance to consume him, and you have no control, so you have to develop on your own."

Su Mo responded: "That's what I planned."

The factory manager continued: "The mid lane is also a development hero. Keep a good vision, you are most likely to be caught."

"As for the bottom lane, we should be able to gain an advantage in the early game. Our team is pretty strong."

Zet responded, "I will try to suppress it as much as possible, and hope to gain an advantage."

It was obvious that he had little confidence.

Su Mo went straight to the top lane when he went out at level 1. He chose extraction to go out.

The director also gave a special close-up.

Seeing Galen extracting and leaving, Guan Zeyuan was shocked:

"Am I seeing right? Extraction? If he chooses Doran's Shield when he starts out, stays in the lane, and uses his passive and Doran's Shield to recover health, then I think he can still win. But isn't he courting death by choosing Extraction?"

Wang Duoduo analyzed: "Extraction is only useful if you can last hit and develop. If last hitting is a problem, what's the point of having Extraction? I don't understand it anyway."

Su Mo's Garen came to the river in the upper lane, pretended to approach the triangle grass in the upper lane of the red side, and suddenly turned around and moved.

Sure enough, Kennen's Q skill flew out from the bushes and missed.

Rita commented: "Is Mozi deliberately provoking the opponent? He won the first round of confrontation. Kennen's skills were wasted. However, Kennen doesn't need to use blue, he relies on energy. Garen didn't gain anything in this round."

Suddenly, Su Mo's Garen walked towards the middle lane and came to the river above the middle lane. He chose to go directly into the opposite jungle area.

At this time, the first wave of soldiers came out from home. Guan Zeyuan commented: "They should come here to place wards. He needs to move quickly, otherwise he will lose soldiers if he goes back too late."

Just when everyone thought that Garen was just here to place a ward, Garen walked towards the high ground on the opposite side.

He had just walked to the front of the high ground when a line of soldiers came over. Garen first guided the line of soldiers, attracting them while keeping his position so that the soldiers could not attack him. After the soldiers gathered together, Garen started to use AE to clear the soldiers.

At this time, V noticed Garen's position on the NB side and was dumbfounded:

"No, why is Garen cutting off the line of troops in front of our high ground?"

NB Everyone looked up and found that it was true!
This Garen is cutting off the minion line and is quite efficient in last-hitting.

The jungler is still in the lower jungle area, so he naturally can't come to help.

If Wushuang has to fight in the middle lane, he will have even less time to go to the top lane.

In the top lane, after the minion line came, Kennen could only retreat to the tower. He couldn't carry the minions, he couldn't do it.

The second wave of soldiers came, Garen continued to cut off the soldiers, using the same tactics as before. After reaching level two, he clicked on the W skill and activated the W skill to reduce the damage of the soldiers.

Guan Zeyuan explained: "You know what, Garen is playing like this now, completely avoiding the laning phase. He doesn't need to be in the laning phase now, and Kennen can't come looking for him."

"It's easy for Kennen to consume Garen in the laning phase, but it's hard to kill him. Moreover, as soon as he leaves the line of soldiers and enters the defensive tower, he will be consumed. He can't leave now."

Rita suddenly discovered something: "I don't know if you have noticed, but Garen's passive is always there. Garen's passive can restore health, but it will be interrupted by attacks from heroes or defense towers, but not by attacks from soldiers and monsters, so he can always restore health."

"If he's in the lane, he needs to get hit in order to last hit, and once he gets hit, his passive will be broken. It's better to break the minion line now."

Wang Duoduo exclaimed: "This is really a genius idea. You know what, playing like this is quite comfortable for Garen."

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:

"Brothers, Brother Mozi, please help us Garen players find a way out."

"Don't open the champagne yet, wait and see."

"Brother Mozi is a blessing to us clumsy players. He always finds some tricks that suit us."

"I used the last Sion to rank up, from Silver III to Bronze I."

Su Mo's overview continued to cut off the military line, and the third wave of soldiers came, this wave could allow Garen to reach level three.

But because of the cannon cart, the hits were very painful, and Garen lost a lot of health and is now very low on health.

On the NB side, V quickly gave a signal: "Garen on the opposite side is out of health, we can go! Jungler, go pick up the kills!"

This is indeed quite tempting. Although Garen has sprint, with his current health, Rek'Sai can kill him instantly. So if it doesn't work, you can flash and use W to knock him away and kill him instantly. This kill must be taken!
So after Rek'Sai got the red buff, she went straight to find Su Mo's Garen.

Guan Zeyuan explained: "It's over. Didn't Mozi consider the cannon cart? To be honest, I didn't consider it just now. I thought his routine could be used, but now that I think about it carefully, it seems that it can't be used."

Just when everyone thought that Su Mo would be killed by Rek'Sai, Su Mo directly rushed to the opposite high ground.
