LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 161 The Monster Released by Su Mo! (I posted the wrong chapter before, please refresh and read it)

Hearing this question, everyone looked at Su Mo.

Ah Guang said, "Do I need to ask this question? We relied on Brother Mozi at that time. If it weren't for Brother Mozi, we would definitely not be able to win."

The factory manager exclaimed: "Xiao Mo, you were able to beat this perverted top laner before, you are indeed more perverted."

Su Mo:?
As the game goes on, it will be a big problem if Snake loses stability in the top lane, after all, this is their core. In addition, IG's mid lane and jungle are very strong. The mid, top and jungle allow IG to gain the advantage, and Snake will find it difficult to withstand it.

So IG won the first game easily.

In the second game, Snake focused on the top lane and continued to play around it. Coincidentally, IG also thought so. The two teams fought fiercely in the top lane, and IG won in the end.

Meiko commented: "This IG top laner is incredible. I remember he hasn't played for a long time. The last time he played was because Duke was too outrageous, so IG was forced to change players. He is so strong now? What was IG doing before?"

Abu speculated: "I guess it's because the coach doesn't trust him. I've heard before that IG's substitute top laner is not very obedient. I guess it's because of this reason. Now that he is playing, the effect is very good. He will definitely be kept in the game in the future."

Zet sighed: "Doesn't that mean our LPL has another super top laner? He can beat Saint Spear, and it feels like most other top laners are just random."

Soon, the third game began. This time Snake changed his tactics. Since he couldn't beat the top lane, he tried the bottom lane. However, although he managed to gain a little advantage in the bottom lane, he couldn't win the game by relying on it. In the end, he was swept 3-0 by IG!
The factory manager looked at Su Mo and said, "Xiao Mo, something has happened. It seems that after being coached by you, IG has suddenly found its correct answer. It's quite strong."

Su Mo was stunned: "Being trained by me? What the hell?"

The factory manager continued, "If you hadn't put Duke through such a horrible show that time, they wouldn't have been so determined to bring Theshy in, and they wouldn't have the strength they have now, so it was you who did it."

Su Mo shrugged: "If that's the way it is, then it was me who did it."

Meiko said: "I feel like IG may not be able to get past WE. WE is quite strong and it's not that easy to deal with."

Abu greeted, "Okay, we've finished watching today's games. Let's train first and then watch when IG and WE start playing."

So the EDG team went back to training. Su Mo returned to his position, logged in, and took the opportunity to check out the online rhythm while waiting in line.

#IG sweeps Snake
It has become a hot topic and many people are discussing it.

What’s outrageous is that many people in the comments below are @苏墨.

“@EDG, Mo: Look at what you did, why did you beat Duke down?”

"Brother Mozi has unleashed a monster IG."

"This IG is a bit outrageous. I feel like WE is under a lot of pressure!"

"WE won't be defeated, right? We still have to go to the S game."

My goodness, Su Mo has become the culprit. Although he did not play in the game and this game had nothing to do with EDG, he still controlled the battle situation and affected the final result.

How come Su Mo didn't know that he had such extraordinary means?
On the other side, inside WE's training base.

Everyone in WE gathered in the conference room and had just finished watching IG's game.

Coach Hongmi sat at the front of the conference room with a serious expression, because they were IG's next opponent.

The strength that IG has shown so far is a bit terrifying, and it poses a great threat to WE.

"Now that you've finished watching the game, you can say whatever you want to say. Let's discuss it more."

After a short silence, Xiye spoke first: "The strength of their mid, top and jungle is quite high. I won't talk about Rookie, he used to be the dean of IG, everyone knows his strength. This... top laner with a long face..."

957 reminded: "Theshy."

"Yes, there's something wrong with Theshy. I feel like he has a lot of details in his laning. Even Saint Spear is no match for him. I feel like this is a little bit risky." Xiye glanced at 957.
As the captain of WE, 957 has always played the role of a stabilizing force. If the top lane is breached, it will be difficult for WE to win the game.

Kangdi suddenly said: "I feel like there's something wrong with their jungler. He doesn't have much brains..."

"I'm not deliberately criticizing him, it's just that a lot of times his decisions are not well thought out, he just goes for it when he feels like it. Normally, it's easy for him to go wrong when he plays the game this way, but their mid and top are too strong, so a lot of times his wrong decisions turn out to be a sign of seizing opportunities."

Xiye nodded: "I do feel that way. He often plays without thinking and loses touch with his teammates, but his teammates can help him fight back, making it seem like his decision is right."

Hongmi concluded: "According to what you said, they just found the right person? Although the player himself may have some problems, because he and his teammates are a good match, they can play their best role."

Xiye, 957 and Kangdi nodded together, and it was obvious that they all thought so.

So Hongmi looked at his brother-in-law in the bottom lane and said, "We are facing IG's bottom lane in the bottom lane. Do you feel any pressure? You must have encountered this in a random game."

My brother-in-law seemed very confident: "I don't have much pressure."

Ben agreed: "We feel OK against Baolan. We should have the advantage in the bottom lane."

Hongmi nodded slightly, then looked at 957: "You are in the top lane. Theshy seems to have a deep hero pool and has been trying different heroes. Have you found his shortcomings?"

957 frowned and thought for a moment, and finally said: "There are some minor flaws, but I don't think they are decisive and the impact will not be great. If I have to say, when he is laning, he likes to put his wards in the bushes on the line, so that he can better suppress the opponent, and this makes it easy to be caught."

"But, the opponent's jungler also likes to gank the top lane, so this point may not be useful."

Kangdi muttered, "The style of their top laner feels different from the ones we encountered before. It's a bit hard to handle. 957, can you handle it?"

957 did not answer, but silence itself was an answer.

Hongmi suddenly asked, "By the way, 957, how is your relationship with EDG's top laner, Mo?"

957 shook his head: "We don't have much relationship, we haven't had much contact, is there any problem?"

Hongmi then said, "I was thinking, why don't you get in touch with him and ask him how to deal with Theshy? Didn't he beat Theshy before?"

"It seems so. The reason why IG replaced Duke before was also because of Mo. He beat Duke so badly that the fans refused to leave and demanded a replacement." 957 muttered.

"If possible, go ask him. You are all top laners anyway, and it is common for players to communicate with each other." Hongmi suggested.

At this time, Kangdi said: "This Mo is also a weirdo, don't you think? In terms of weirdness, he is more exaggerated than Theshy. The heroes he chooses and the routines he uses are not something that ordinary people can think of."

957 commented: "There is still an essential difference between the two of them. Theshy's operation, basic skills, and laning details are all top-notch, relying on his technique and absolute strength."

"As for Mo, I feel like he's just taking shortcuts, using something no one else has seen before, and winning inexplicably."

Xiye said, "Then I think you can learn from him, right? If you can't beat him head-on, then you can only use tactics. You can't just surrender."

957 also thought it made sense, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. Although it was common for players to learn from each other, it usually happened between players who were familiar with each other...

After thinking for a long time, 957 finally said, "Then I'll give it a try. I'll get in touch with him."

As for Su Mo, while playing RANK, he started live streaming and used up the live streaming time.

After finishing a game, Su Mo looked at the comments and suddenly found someone giving him gifts, so he thanked them:

"Thanks to WE and 957 for sending the fifty planes. Thank you."

Su Mo didn't react at first until the comments started to say:
"Oh my god, this looks like the real person, it's really Brother Legs!"

"Is Brother Tui here? And did he bring a gift to Brother Mozi?"

"What's the purpose? Are they on good terms?"

"I don't know. I don't think I've heard of any relationship between them."

Su Mo then remembered that it was WE's top laner 957, and he was a real person, not a fake.

"Welcome, Brother Tui." Su Mo expressed his welcome.

"Anchor, please read the private message." 957 sent this message.

Su Mo went to check the private message. 957 wanted his contact information, so Su Mo gave it to him directly.

Soon, the phone beeped, indicating a new friend request, and Su Mo chose to accept it.

He also wanted to see what 957 was going to do?
WE, 957: "Hello, Brother Mozi."

Su Mo responded: "Hello."

WE, 957: "I've watched most of your previous matches, you're really strong!"

Su Mo felt something was wrong. One would not visit someone for no reason. If the other party started praising him right away, there must be something wrong.

Sure enough, WE and 957 got straight to the point: "Are you familiar with Theshy? Do you often play in training games together?"

Su Mo replied: "Not familiar, I play occasionally, mainly depending on the coach's arrangement."

WE, 957: "We will play against IG next week. We are under a lot of pressure right now. This Theshy is different from the previous top laners we faced."

Su Mo thought it must be different, Theshy has his own style.

Su Mo asked back: "So what do you want to know from me?"

WE, 957: "Do you have any good ideas or suggestions on how to deal with Theshy? Brother, please!"

Su Mo could tell that 957 was determined to go all out this time and was completely disgraced. After all, he was considered by many people to be the best domestic top laner, and now he was saying such things.

I can only say that 957 is a good captain who can do anything for the team's victory.

However, Su Mo was unable to answer this question. He was just completing the task according to the system's requirements. What hero to choose and how to play the game were not under Su Mo's control.

So he responded: "I don't know the answer to this question either. I will have an idea when I get to the competition venue."

At this time on the WE side, Hongmi was standing behind 957, waiting for a result.

957 turned around and said, "He said that he would have some ideas only when he got to the competition field..."

Hongmi was stunned and muttered, "It seems that he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. But that's right, there's no need for him to help us, so we can only rely on ourselves."

In the next few days, EDG continued to train and prepare for the semi-finals.

Soon, the game between WE and IG began.

The EDG members gathered together again to watch the game.

Abu said: "Today is the match between WE and IG. Their winner will play against us in the semi-finals, so this BO5 is also very important for us. We must watch it carefully."

At this moment, the factory manager suddenly said: "Did you see the post bar today? Someone said that we and WE are teaming up to suppress IG."

Upon hearing this, everyone in EDG was stunned and looked at each other. This sounded like a plot from a novel.

Meiko complained: "How can we unite with WE? We are competitors."

The factory manager looked at his phone and continued, "They said that we had contacted WE in advance, and 957 even specifically looked for Xiao Mo to discuss how to deal with Theshy? Is there such a thing?"

Everyone looked at Su Mo together.

Abu said: "It is normal for players to contact each other and exchange ideas. What is connection?"

Su Mo replied: "957 did come to me and asked me how to deal with Theshy."

Zet asked curiously, "So what did you say? You didn't really tell him."

Su Mo shrugged: "I have nothing to tell him. How would I know?"

The factory manager nodded: "It's a good idea to play dumb at this time. There's no need to tell them about this."

Su Mo was helpless: "Is there a possibility that he is not pretending to be stupid, but really does not know."

The factory manager simply ignored Su Mo's words, as if he had a filter that could automatically filter out opinions he didn't like.

The factory manager continued to look at his phone and said, "They also said in the post that LPL is now ruled by the Big Three, and the Big Three don't want any new forces to rise, so that they can continue to rule LPL."

"And now, IG is the troublemaker. They are challenging the dominance of the three major families, so the three major families should put aside their differences and target IG together."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't hold it anymore.

Meiko just smiled and said, "To be honest, it's a pity that he doesn't write novels."

Zet said, "Don't worry, I'm going to start a novel right now and write about this."

Everyone was chatting and laughing when the players from WE and IG came on stage.

In the first BP, WE got a three-core lineup, and IG basically had the same idea.

After entering the game, the laning battles in all three lanes were extremely intense.

The factory manager analyzed: "It seems that IG and WE are now the kind of team with no obvious weaknesses, and all three lines are strong."

Abu continued: "All three lines are strong. With a reasonable BP battle arrangement, it will be difficult to deal with. I feel that these two teams will play to the fifth game."

Abu's words came true. WE and IG began to take turns leading. You win a game, I win a game, and it continued until the fifth game, with the intensity reaching full blast.

Meiko commented: "No matter who wins, it's good for us. They have revealed their cards to each other, but we haven't revealed our cards yet."

Su Mo suddenly asked: "Do we have a trump card?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Abu, and Abu looked at Su Mo.

Abu said, "You are our trump card. Didn't we agree on this before? You can choose your own hero and you will be the one to carry the game."

"Wait a minute! I admit that you chose the hero yourself at the beginning, but I didn't tell you that you were the carry of the game later on." Su Mo said quickly.

Abu muttered: "There is no need to say the second half of the sentence specifically, I think this is definitely the meaning behind it." Soon, the fifth game between IG and WE began.

In this game, both teams really played all their cards. In the end, WE completed the comeback with a perfect performance in the bottom lane and won the game. In this way, EDG's opponent in the semi-finals was determined, WE!

After watching this game, Meiko exclaimed: "I feel that my brother-in-law really burned out. He really tried his best in the fifth game."

Zet agreed: "Well, from laning to teamfighting, there are almost no mistakes. Even when being targeted by the opponent in teamfighting, he can still deal explosive damage. This is Mystic!"

Abu said: "Now that the game is over, we have watched it. If you have anything to say, please speak up and discuss how we will deal with WE."

Zet was in a dilemma: "WE's bottom lane is really something, it's hard to play against them."

The factory manager said: "Like we said just now, WE and IG are both strong in all three lanes, without obvious weaknesses. We can at least ensure that no lane is completely breached, otherwise it will be difficult to play."

The pressure now fell on the two players in the bottom lane, and Abu began to make training plans for them, at least to ensure that the line would not be collapsed.

After the match between WE and IG ended, the conspiracy theory on the Internet was updated:

"Sure enough, under EDG's guidance, WE stopped IG."

"It really worked for Brother Tui to go find Brother Mozi."

"The evil Big Three succeeded! They joined forces to stop IG's rise."

“Is the LPL already so dark?”

It was late at night, and inside the WE training base, the players and coaches had just finished reviewing the game.

Hongmi said: "It was not easy for us to beat IG this time. We fought for five games and everyone worked hard. Everyone performed very well this year. Thank you."

At this time, Xiye said: "It was mainly because 957 in the top lane held on and didn't let Theshy break through from the top lane, otherwise it would have been difficult for us to win."

957 said: "It's a bit hard to bear, but fortunately I can bear it."

Kangdi responded: "It seems that we still have to rely on ourselves. We can't rely on others."

Kangdi was hinting at Su Mo. After all, when 957 approached Su Mo before, Su Mo did not provide any information.

957 said: "You can't say that. They really have no obligation to help us."

Hongmi greeted, "The next step is to defeat EDG. Now we can start thinking about how to beat EDG. EDG is generally more difficult to deal with than IG."

"IG's young players are strong enough, but they lack a lot of experience. We can see it in today's game. They made many important decisions, which is unlikely to happen to EDG. So we can't expect EDG to make any major mistakes. We have to rely on ourselves to find opportunities."

At this time, the brother-in-law spoke up: "I think EDG's bottom lane is their biggest weakness."

957 agreed: "They always come up with some weird moves in the top lane. Unless A Guang comes up to fight, it's hard to say whether they can win. But their bottom lane performance is not stable."

Hongmi said, "Well, this is indeed an entry point. In the first game, we will start to break through from their bottom lane. If we succeed, the initiative will be in our hands. Unless they can find a way to solve this problem, we will keep attacking the bottom lane."

Everyone in WE nodded, and seemed to agree with this plan.

Kangdi said, "Then our mid and top laners just need to hold steady. I'll keep an eye on their bottom lane. 957, when we win and shake hands with them, you have to taunt that guy and let him see our WE's true strength. Otherwise, he will definitely think he's amazing."

957 shook his head. "No need. I told you, they have no obligation to tell us how to play the game."

Kangdi smiled evilly: "If you don't tell me, I will tell him when the time comes and see what he will do."

On the EDG side, Su Mo was broadcasting a live training broadcast, when suddenly, a task from the system came.

[WE's intention is detected, hidden task:

Mission 1: Choose the ADC position in the match against WE, use a random hero, disrupt WE's tactics, and break their mentality. Reward: 1 Ultimate Mastery Card

Mission 2: Choose the jungle position in the match against WE, use a random hero, disgust Conti, and break his mentality. Reward title: 1 Ultimate Skilled Card

Mission 3: Refuse to play in the match against WE due to illness. Reward: Deserter

】

Su Mo took a look and found that both Task 1 and 2 were selectable, with the same rewards, only different contents.

Either play bottom lane or jungle, which one should I choose?

Which road is more disgusting?
Suddenly, Su Mo had an idea.

"Task 1, let me meet my brother-in-law."

Su Mo chose Task 1, mainly because he wanted to try a disgusting routine.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the position with the biggest gap between EDG and WE should be ADC.

Therefore, if we can hold our ground at the ADC position and not let WE gain too much of an advantage, it should be easier to win the game.

A week passed quickly, followed by the weekend and game day.

At noon, everyone in EDG ate something together to fill their stomachs, and then they would eat a full meal after returning from the game, otherwise they would easily feel sleepy during the game.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon and the EDG team got in the car and headed straight to the game venue.

As the car approached the competition venue, everyone saw spectators preparing to enter.

Zet exclaimed: "There are so many people. I feel that today's game will be very lively."

Su Mo took a quick look and found that EDG's fans accounted for a slightly higher proportion. Of course, the advantage was not particularly large, because WE was also a powerful team and its current record was also very good, so there were many people supporting WE.

Meiko suddenly said: "Did you see this? Vote for the most handsome player in LPL."

Just hearing the name of this vote, the factory manager started laughing: "Voting for the most handsome player? Who is so bored as to do something like this?"

Meiko guessed, "They must be fans of those people. Their favorite contestants are handsome, so they want to compare them. If their favorite contestants are ugly, they won't initiate this kind of vote."

The factory manager said something shocking: "You mean, this was done by my fans?"

After hearing this, everyone in EDG fell silent. Although the factory manager was speaking in Chinese, everyone felt that they couldn't understand what this sentence meant. It couldn't be what it seemed to mean. That would be too abnormal.

Seeing that no one else was talking, the factory manager said, "I was just joking, don't get excited. My looks won't rank in the top five, probably in the top ten."

So everyone in EDG fell silent again. Some things were too outrageous and everyone lost the idea of ​​refutation.

Meiko continued, "Right now, the one with the highest votes is my brother-in-law, followed by Xiao Mo. I think Xiao Mo can definitely take first place."

Su Mo didn't think it mattered. In comparison, he was more concerned about the vote for "the player with the most annoying mentality in LPL".

The bus entered the parking lot of the competition venue. After the bus stopped, the EDG members got off.

As soon as I got off the car, I heard several familiar voices in front of me, WE!

The WE team had just arrived and were preparing to enter the competition venue.

The appearance of EDG players attracted WE's attention.

WE coach Hongmi came over to say hello: "Coach Abu."

"Coach Hongmi."

The players on both sides were also observing each other.

957 came over and greeted, "Brother Mozi."

"Brother Legs." Su Mo responded.

Suddenly, Kangdi came in front of Su Mo and said:

"We beat IG and we didn't need your help at all. We can still win. Now it's your turn, EDG."

Su Mo felt puzzled: "I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean by my help? Can I still go up and help WE play the game?"

Kangdi responded, "Didn't we ask you for some advice before? Did you refuse? It would have been fine if you refused, but you had to say some nonsense to disgust me."

Su Mo didn't understand. What did it mean to be disgusting? What he said was all true. He didn't know how to play until he got to the game. Although it sounded absurd to others, it was the truth.

957 shouted: "Kangdi, stop talking."

Hongmi called out, "Let's go first."

So the WE members left first. Before leaving, Kangdi did not forget to glare at Su Mo, as if putting pressure on Su Mo.

The factory captain came up and said, "This Conti is really sick. I don't know what he is thinking. Isn't it natural for you not to help them? It's inexplicable."

Su Mo said: "It doesn't matter, we just need to do our best."

The EDG players entered the competition venue and went straight to their lounge.

After putting his things down, Su Mo took out his cell phone and started playing.

Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Oh, right, in the first game today, I'll play in the bottom lane."

The factory manager came over and said, "Why do you suddenly want to play in the bottom lane? Is the opponent's top laner putting too much pressure on you? That's not the case. You didn't feel any pressure when you played against Theshy."

Meiko suddenly guessed, "Is that the reason? Are you worried that they will target you later?"

The factory manager said quickly, "Then don't worry. Kangdi can't do anything to you. He is not a clean person. If he targets you, I will help you!"

Su Mo replied: "Of course not. It has nothing to do with Kangdi. I have my own ideas. Anyway, let me play in the bottom lane so that we can win this game!"

On the other side, in WE's lounge, 957, the team captain, was working for Conti.

957 said, "Kantie, your behavior just now was inappropriate. Although we are competitors with EDG, as a professional player, you should maintain your proper demeanor."

Kangdi looked at him with disdain: "To be honest, I have always felt that this Mozi brother is just a person who seeks fame and reputation. Today I will help you target the top laner and kill him!"

At this time, Hongmi spoke up: "Don't get excited yet. We have already arranged the tactics for the first game. In the first game, we will focus on the bottom lane. Kangdi, you should go to the bottom lane more often, help the bottom lane counter-camp, or take the initiative to attack and establish an advantage."

Kangdi was naturally not very happy. He just wanted to see Su Mo in a state of panic.

Just then, a staff member appeared at the door and negotiated with Hongmi.

After some negotiations, Hongbu told the rest of WE the news: "ED's lineup has been finalized. The top laner is Mouse, the jungler is Zweitland, the mid laner is Scout, the ADC is Mo, and the support is Meiko."

Hearing this, Kangdi suddenly became excited: "Who is the ADC? It's him? Hahaha, he is asking for trouble. He has nothing to do with it in the first place, and he wants to run down and be caught by me, right? Since he is like this, if I don't catch the bottom lane in this game, then there is something wrong with me."

Hongmi looked at her brother-in-law and asked, "You should have no problem dealing with him, right?"

The brother-in-law spoke confidently: "There is no problem with our bottom lane. Even if there is a problem, it is not the bottom lane that has the problem, but they are targeting the other lanes."

Kangdi patted his chest and said, "It's okay. I'm here. Just deal with them. I'll help you guys catch them in the bottom lane."

957 always felt something was wrong. It was impossible for EDG to make substitutions without any preparation, but targeting the bottom lane was indeed a strategy they had thought of in advance. It would not look good to change it now, so they could only take it one step at a time.

At the game, in the commentary booth, Wawa, Miller and Rita were ready.

Wawa explained: "The upcoming semi-final of the 2017 League of Legends Professional League Summer Season is between EDG and WE."

Miller continued: "Both EDG and WE are in pretty good shape now. WE defeated WE in five games, which was not easy. I feel that after the BO5, WE is likely to complete its evolution, which is very disadvantageous for EDG."

At this time, Rita said: "I just received news from the front that Mozi will play in this game, and he will go to the bottom lane, not the middle lane or the top lane, but the ADC!"

As soon as these words came out, the comments in the official live broadcast room were boiling:

"What's going on? Why are they suddenly changing positions during such a crucial game?"

"Is it because of jealousy? Have you seen the online vote for the most handsome player in LPL?"

"Impossible, would Brother Mozi care about these things? This must be a tactic!"

"Brother-in-law is probably going to be in big trouble. Brother Mozi is coming to the bottom lane to make things difficult for you!"

At the competition venue, the host came on stage and invited contestants from both sides.

"First up is WE! Welcome them!"

The five members of WE appeared on the stage, and the crowd cheered in unison:
"WE! WE! WE!"

The director also gave a close-up of the brother-in-law's expression. At this time, the brother-in-law had a stern expression and was serious, looking very cool.

The female fans at the scene screamed.

The host welcomed again: "Now, let's welcome E! D! G!"

Then, the five members of EDG appeared on the stage, and the audience burst into cheers:

"EDG! EDG! EDG!"

The players from both teams came on stage and stood face to face in the middle of the stage. Su Mo faced his brother-in-law. Neither of them spoke, just shook hands, and then turned and walked towards their respective positions.

After sitting down, everything was ready and the first game began!

(End of this chapter)
