LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 218 Faker: When will this Mo be able to be a human being! Pure torture! (Big chapter)
This question really stumped everyone in LCK.

The difficulty lies in the choice between ensuring victory and maintaining entertainment.

If the lineup they choose is too entertaining, it will be difficult for them to win the game.

If you want to win the game, the lineup is usually the so-called popular heroes of the version that the audience is tired of.

Ruler suggested: "I think we should focus on winning. If we choose those inappropriate playing styles, we will definitely be inferior to Mo, who specializes in routines, so our chances of winning are very small."

"If you lose in the end, no matter how entertaining the lineup you choose is, you will still be trampled underfoot."

Peanut agreed: "I think this makes sense. When facing other teams, we can still rely on our individual strength to make up for the lineup gap, but if we face the LPL All-Star team, our strength advantage is not obvious."

So the LCK All-Star team made their choice: they can have fun when facing other teams, but they must fight to the death against the LPL!
This is respect for masters!
A moment later, the SOLO match began.

This time, Su Mo's opponent was Bjergsen. After the two came on stage, they showed mutual respect, shook hands, and then walked to their respective positions. Although they showed mutual respect, they did not hold back at all.

In the end, Bjergsen lost to Su Mo, and Su Mo entered the semi-finals.

Soon, Faker's quarter-final SOLO match also began.

Su Mo could see that Faker was now extremely serious. If it were in the past, he would just pick a fun hero and if he lost, he lost. He would even make an agreement with the opponent in advance to pick the same hero, and it would be the opponent's signature hero for SOLO.

But now, I am very focused from the moment I choose the hero, and I only choose strong ones, just to win.

In the quarterfinals, Faker won easily.

"Brother Mozi, your opponent in the next round is Faker. It must be very stressful." UZI suddenly said. The LPL All-Star team had just watched Faker's SOLO game together.

Su Mo replied: "It feels okay, I'm looking forward to it."

In fact, what Su Mo was looking forward to was what the reward title would be used for after the mission was completed.

However, in this process, it may be necessary to take down UZI.

A day of competition is over, and the LPL All-Star Game continues to maintain its undefeated record in both regional competitions and SOLO matches.

The next day, the third day of competition began.

Today we will have the semi-finals of the regional competition and the semi-finals of the SOLO competition.

In the semi-finals of this regional competition, LPL's opponent is the LEC region.

Both sides choose more cheerful heroes and it will be easy to deal with.

Then, the LCK and LMS regional competition began
LCK is also easy to handle.

In this way, the LPL and LCK All-Star teams met in the finals.

Then comes the SOLO competition.

Hongmi looked at Su Mo and said, "The next match is the semi-finals of the SOLO match. Brother Mozi, you have to lead the charge against SOLO Faker. Is that okay?"

Su Mo replied: "No problem, after waiting for so long, it's finally here."

The factory manager came to Su Mo and said, "Yes, I have to have this kind of temperament to dominate the world. Who else can do it but me?"

Xiao Ming echoed, "That's right, Brother Mozi, we will cheer you on."

The time was almost up. Su Mo left the LPL All-Star team lounge and walked to the end of the corridor. The door of a room next to him opened and Faker walked out. The two men met.

"Hello, Mo." Faker greeted.

"Hello!" Su Mo replied.

“Hopefully it will be a good fight.”

"hope so."

At the game site, in the LPL region commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan, Jide and Rita were ready.

Guan Zeyuan explained:

"What is about to take place is today's SOLO match, the semi-finals of the SOLO track, with the S7 Finals FMVP player Mo from the LPL region facing off against the three-time champion Faker from the LCK region!"

"I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. The two of them made it all the way to the semi-finals without encountering any difficulties. They crushed the opponents all the way, which is enough to show how powerful they are."

Jide agreed, "Yes, Faker and Mozi have played against each other in the past, and Mozi always had the upper hand. Of course, let's talk about that."

"The situations in official competitions and SOLO competitions are different, so we can't generalize. It's still uncertain who will win today's SOLO competition."

Rita continued, "But I personally support Brother Mozi more. The strength he showed us is far beyond that of others. When he sits there, it feels very stable and reassuring."

The two players came on stage, and the crowd became excited:

"Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi!"

"Faker! Faker!"

There were a lot of people cheering for Faker at the scene, and many of them were white. After all, Faker is a three-time champion and a god-like existence in the hearts of many veteran players.

Although Su Mo just won the championship, there is still a big gap in honors compared to Faker.

The two shook hands in the middle of the stage and walked to their respective seats.

After Su Mo sat down, he put on his headphones and got ready. The first BP began.

At this time, in the LPL All-Star team lounge, everyone was watching the SOLO match between Su Mo and Faker.

Xiye muttered, "We can win, Brother Mozi."

The factory manager was full of confidence: "We will definitely win, is there any need to say more?"

UZI: "It's hard to say, but it doesn't matter. No matter who enters the finals, the championship is mine."

The factory manager retorted: "You haven't even made it to the finals yet, can you keep a low profile for now?"

At this time, Faker had already made a choice on the field, he chose Syndra.

This is not surprising, it can be said to be a very classic choice. Syndra's appearance rate in this SOLO game is very high, and she is very strong in single combat.

As for Su Mo, he was guessing what Faker would choose.

The probability of a mage is relatively high. Of course, assassins are not ruled out, but assassins are not strong in SOLO matches, which is different from what many players think.

Many people think that assassin heroes are very strong in SOLO, but in fact it is completely the opposite.

Needless to say, the warrior cannot beat the long-range squishy heroes. The opponent does not need to take care of the jungler and can suppress you without limit.

In the end, Su Mo made a choice, the Desert Death God, Nasus!
I remember the commentator said: "In the first game, Mozi chose Nasus, which was really unexpected. Is Nasus a strong hero in solo? I feel he is not as strong as Syndra."

Rita pondered: "I guess Mozi didn't want to rely on the strength of the hero itself, but on his own operation and his understanding of the game to win."

At this time in the LPL All-Star lounge, the two girls were confirmed to have become heroes.

The factory manager was a little anxious: "Wait a minute, is he treating this as a recreational game? He got fooled, the opponent directly picked Syndra."

UZI laughed and said, "Hahaha, Mingkai, don't worry. If he loses, I still have him. I can still bring victory back to LPL."

The factory manager simply ignored UZI. He was now worried that Su Mo would suffer a loss.

On the competition stage, Su Mo suddenly heard the system's voice:

[The host is detected to be fighting against a legendary player, the title "Legend is Immortal" is triggered, activating the legendary feature: Immortality]

[Immortality: The more attacks the host receives, the greater the improvement in movement. ]

Hearing this, Su Mo was stunned. The more skills he gets, the better his positioning will be?

What you mean is that it's bitter first and sweet later, let the opponent hit you first, and then you will become stronger and stronger?
But the problem is, he now has a proficient hero, and his positioning is also very strong!

But on second thought, even if this feature is not activated, you will still be consumed by the opponent, so it has no impact, and you just need to face the line normally.

After all, something is better than nothing.

So Su Mo chose Doran's Ring and went straight to the line.

Guan Zeyuan explained: "This time, Nasus was a little slow to go out at level 1. I think this is a mistake. Didn't he think clearly about what he was going to do?"

Remember muttered, "It's unlikely, but it's really strange that he didn't come out and only moved now."

Su Mo's attention was drawn to the system just now, so he was slow to go out. However, in the eyes of the commentator and the audience, this was a sign of his lack of confidence.

So the comments in the official live broadcast room have begun to be pessimistic:

"Brother Mozi is still too kind. He thought the opponent would choose a weird hero like him."

"Brother Mozi, let's just treat this as letting the opponent win. Next time we should be more serious and win back!"

"Come on, Mozi. If you lose, I won't watch it anymore."

After Su Mo went out, he walked forward, as if he wanted to find Syndra on the opposite side.

However, when he reached the middle position, suddenly, Syndra appeared, hit Su Mo with a Q and a basic attack, and then chased Su Mo and beat him hard.

Su Mo chose to retreat all the way, moving around frantically.

Syndra is also very smart. She doesn't use any skills and just attacks. Anyway, Nasus's positioning will give him more space to output damage.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "It seems that Mozi is not careful enough. He was ambushed by the opponent at level 1, and he is still moving around. I feel that this is unnecessary, right? Isn't this just letting the opponent hit him for nothing?"

"He doesn't need to move at all. He can just retreat after taking a Q skill hit. The damage he took will definitely be less than it is now."

Soon, the first wave of soldiers came out. At the same time, Su Mo had already received the first wave of bonuses from the characteristics.

[Immortality: The host receives 10 cumulative attacks, and the movement ability is increased by 5%]

Su Mo walked straight up and started attacking the minions, but just as he was about to do so, Syndra's Q skill came over.

However, Su Mo was careful this time. He easily dodged it by taking a step back and continued to attack the soldier.

He wasn't stupid enough to keep getting beaten.

Syndra starts to output damage with basic attacks while pulling the line of soldiers to avoid being surrounded and attacked by soldiers.

I remember the commentator saying, "Faker is very aggressive and has full control. From the moment they met, he would definitely attack whenever he had the chance."

The director gave Su Mo a close-up, and Su Mo was very relaxed at this time.

And Faker looks very serious.

In the LPL All-Stars locker room, UZI frowned slightly: "Brother Mozi seems a little abnormal. We are going to lose if we continue to play like this, but he is still smiling."

Xiao Ming said: "Why doesn't he use his E skill to consume the opponent's energy? He can fight back."

The second wave of soldiers came, and Su Mo's Nasus was at a clear health disadvantage, having lost one third of his health.

Syndra was still at full health, and kept putting pressure on him.

Su Mo reached level 2, and he chose to use the Q skill to attack the minions.

"Ah? Nasus is still stacking Q? This is not right, I feel like he has no chance to stack up the Q skill. This is a SOLO match, it's over in just a hundred hits." Guan Zeyuan expressed his incomprehension.

Faker naturally couldn't understand Su Mo's behavior, but he didn't need to understand.

For Su Mo, he just needs to keep fighting like this and he will have the advantage.

[Immortality: The host is attacked 30 times, and the movement ability is increased by 10%]

Soon, both Nasus and Syndra reached level 3. Su Mo chose to use the level 2 E skill and the level 1 Q skill, and simply ignored the W skill.

At this time he still had half health. After Syndra reached level three, she immediately came up to suppress him, controlled him with a QE, followed by a W, and finally finished with the Q skill, a set of skills to deal full damage!
But this time it’s different, Dog Head fights back!
The moment Syndra came up and used her QE, Nasus used her E skill and hit the target.

Not only that, in order to deal the full damage, Syndra stood in Nasus's E skill for a long time.

Except for the first high damage of Nasus's E, the subsequent damage seems to be very low. However, if you stand in it all the time, the accumulated damage is still considerable.

Taking advantage of the fact that Syndra had no skills, Su Mo madly attacked the minions and used his Q skill to absorb their blood.

Syndra continued to come up and put pressure on her, AQ, and Su Mo dodged it with a small move.

This made Faker very uncomfortable, because every time Nasus used a basic attack or Q, a green light would appear on his body, which meant he was sucking blood.

The amount of blood that had been suppressed with great difficulty was visibly increasing, and anyone who saw it would feel anxious.

So Syndra used her Q skill again, and this time, Nasus dodged it again.

At the same time, Nasus used his E skill, and Syndra was hit and lost a lot of blood. In order to avoid further blood loss, he could only pull out. In this way, Nasus could continue to attack the minions to recover blood without anyone interfering.

[Get Torture Points +30 from Faker]

In the commentary booth, Rita felt something was wrong: "This is not right. Nasus, he slowly recovered his health with his basic attacks. He only had one-third of his health just now, but now it's half."

"On the contrary, Syndra used up a lot of mana. This is not good news for Syndra."

The laning match is still going on, and the director gives a close-up of Faker. Faker is obviously more serious than before.

In the LPL All-Stars lounge, Zzitai suddenly became excited: "I feel like there is hope! Nasus is slowly gaining the upper hand. Although Syndra has more health, she is running out of mana. What's the use of Syndra without mana?"

UZI also felt something was wrong, but his thoughts now were very simple:
"If it were me, I would just pick an ADC and not even bother playing Nasus. The only reason he can play this way is because the opponent is a mage, who can only slowly consume the opponent's blood, and he can slowly suck the opponent's blood."

"If you encounter a shooter, he won't let you get close to the minion line, and will keep targeting you. If you don't move, you'll be targeted and killed. How can you absorb health if you can't even touch the minion line?"

The factory manager smiled and said, "You'd better meet him first, or you may not even make it to the semi-finals."

After Faker was consumed by two E skills, his health was running low. He found that Nasus's E skill was too far away. As long as he went up and put pressure on Nasus, Nasus's E would definitely hit him.

The most disgusting thing is that there is no need for any prediction when Nasus releases E. As long as the distance is enough, it is certain to hit in such a large range.

As Syndra, he needs to predict when using skills to consume the enemy, otherwise Nasus will dodge them by moving.

His skills are much more difficult to hit than the opponent's, and the mana consumption is also unbearable, so it is not cost-effective to consume each other.

It’s better to save the mana and fight at level 6.

After making plans, Faker changed his playing style. He took advantage of Nasus's last hit to use basic attacks to consume the enemy, thus suppressing Nasus's health recovery to a certain extent.

Su Mo also changed his playing style. He no longer used the Q skill to last hit, because Q also consumes mana.

If you absorb all the health but use up all the mana, it is meaningless. It is better to save your skills to consume Syndra.

Then a strange scene appeared. Nasus just last hit, didn't stack Q, and occasionally used E skill to consume Syndra. Syndra also used basic attacks to last hit, and would consume with basic attacks when she had time, without using any skills.

The two of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and they did the same from level four to level five.

Guan Zeyuan couldn't understand: "What are these two doing? Just now, it was Syndra who unilaterally consumed Nasus, and now it's suddenly the other way around? What does it mean that Syndra doesn't use her skills? Is she saving her mana?
Remember to answer, "The time is now five minutes. I will soon reach level six. After being consumed by Nasus, Syndra's health is only one-fifth! His health is much less than Nasus'."

"And Nasus is now half health, basically no change, almost the same as before, and will soon be level 6. I feel Syndra should not be in danger of being killed by a single player, so just keep his E skill in hand."

Rita said: "Then in terms of last-hitting, Syndra has one less hit than Nasus right now, but this difference is minimal and should not be the key to victory."

The next wave of soldiers came, and Nasus continued to maintain the previous laning rhythm, while Faker's Syndra was already calculating the time of Nasus' death.

Syndra suddenly used her Q skill to finish off the enemy, in order to accumulate Dark Orbs.

While Nasus was coming up to continue attacking the minions, Syndra used a basic attack to take down a minions and reached level 6, then used QE to control Nasus, used the W skill, and then used the Q skill again for the final ultimate move!
A set of skills deals full damage!
Guan Zeyuan explained: "Is she going to be killed instantly? Syndra is determined to kill, she should be able to kill..."

"No, Nasus also used his E skill. He cleared the minions and also leveled up! He activated his ultimate to increase his health. Nasus didn't die. Instead, Syndra was standing in Nasus's E skill. Her health was almost gone. She had to be pulled out!"

Su Mo's Nasus still had a little blood left, so he started to attack the minions madly to suck their blood and replenish his blood. Syndra waited until Nasus's E skill disappeared and then came up to consume him.

Something embarrassing happened.

Syndra is out of mana!

Syndra had no mana and could only use basic attacks to output damage, but she herself had very little health, and if she attacked Nasus, she would be besieged by minions, so she had to give up. Su Mo, on the other hand, relied on attacking minions to recover his health bit by bit.

Then, the moment Syndra came up to finish off the enemy, Nasus used his E at the maximum distance.

Syndra, who was just on the edge, suddenly saw her health drop again, leaving only over 80 points of health in an instant.

"Ah! Almost! Syndra almost died. Her health was definitely in the single digits just now!" Rita exclaimed.

Su Mo was not in a hurry to attack, he chose to continue to finish off the enemy.

Syndra didn't dare to come up from behind and couldn't do anything, while Nasus only focused on his own last hits.

When the soldiers enter the defensive tower, Syndra cannot go forward to last hit, and he will die with one E from Nasus.

But he didn't want to go back to the city, because if he did, he would lose two waves of soldiers.

[Get Torture Points +10 from Faker]

Su Mo did not cross the tower either. He was now ahead by 8 last hits, a lead that was almost impossible to catch up in a SOLO match.

And let alone catching up, the gap in last-hitting is widening.

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

"Let the torture begin. Let's torture like crazy! It's time for Brother Mozi's favorite torture session."

"Mozi is really good at messing with people's mentality. Faker must think it's better to just die."

"Faker is too embarrassed to commit suicide. It's so embarrassing."

"I can only say that I was really unlucky to meet Brother Mozi. Winning or losing is a small matter. The main thing is to mess with people's mentality."

At this time, in the LPL All-Stars live broadcast room, the factory manager laughed:

"Whoever meets Xiao Mo will be unlucky. I can understand how miserable Faker is right now."

Xiye agreed, "Right. It's better to be killed by a single player and end the pain sooner."

The factory manager responded: "But Faker can't just go up and give it away for free, that would be unreasonable, and he can only continue to be tortured."

Soon, Nasus's last hits reached ninety.

At this time, Faker was only level 76. It was not because his basic skills were poor. He had to stay out of the range of Nasus's E skill, and inevitably gave up a lot of last hits.

Everyone was staring at Su Mo's number of last hits.

记得解说道：“95、96、97、98、99……啊，兵线没了，要等下一波兵线。”

The next wave of soldiers is coming.

What's outrageous is that Su Mo missed three knives twice in a row.

Obviously it was intentional.

Faker saw this scene under the tower, his cheek twitched slightly, and he cursed in his heart: "Shit, when will Mo be able to behave like a human being!"

[Get Torture Points +30 from Faker]

Fortunately, in the end, Su Mo still managed to get the last blow and won the victory.

Rita announced: "As Mozi's last hits reached 100 first, let's congratulate Mozi for winning the game. Congratulations to him!"

Guan Zeyuan commented: "This SOLO match... can be said to be very strange. It is different from the SOLO matches I have seen before. In fact, it ended a long time ago, but for some reason, both sides kept dragging it out."

Remember to answer, "That's right. In this match, Mozi once again showed us his soft-to-hard play style. In this match, he never got close to Syndra, but kept attacking minions and using his E skill to consume her."

"From an operational point of view, it can be said to be a very simple operation, most summoners should be able to do it, but they still won. There is no solution to this."

The director gave Su Mo a close-up. Su Mo looked normal and seemed relaxed.

Faker seemed a little regretful and felt that he should not have lost the previous game.

The second game begins and enters the hero selection stage.

At this time, in the LPL All-Star Game locker room.

UZI complained: "It's boring. I thought they were going to do something, but this is what happened!"

"I feel like if I were to go up against this Nasus, I would have won a long time ago. I really would have won a long time ago."

The factory manager laughed and said, "Those who haven't played are always the strongest. I understand. I understand."

UZI said disdainfully: "If you don't even dare to participate, then don't come and complain."

The two started to talk nonsense again, but everyone was used to it. At this time, Faker decided on his hero. Seeing this hero, UZI said: "Hahaha, if Mozi continues to choose Nasus, he will be finished."

At this time, Su Mo was thinking about what to play.

The key is what hero will Faker choose?
Mid lane mage, assassin, shooter, there are only these few.

Will the assassin choose?
It seems that assassins are not good in SOLO. Almost no one chose assassins in this SOLO competition.

From the current perspective, the stronger heroes in SOLO matches are those with longer arms.

For example, Taliyah, Varus, Zoe, etc.

In this case……

Su Mo suddenly thought of a hero with super long arms, locked on!
"Vekz? Brother Mozi actually chose this hero in this game?" Seeing Su Mo's choice, Jide was very surprised.

Su Mo chose the Void Eye, Viktor!
After this hero was selected, the audience and commentators were a little surprised.

Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "The biggest problem with this hero is that all his skills are non-directional. Although it seems that he has a lot of damaging skills and all four skills carry damage, you may not be able to hit anyone. Especially when facing a top player like Faker, the hit rate will definitely be greatly reduced."

Remember agreed: "Yes, this hero is very similar to another hero, Xerath, both of whom are frequent participants in the highlights of positioning shows, but they are often the ones being shown off."

"And, to be honest, Xerath's W skill is actually easier to hit, so in terms of skill release difficulty, Vel'Koz is even higher than Xerath, and it requires a high level of predictive ability."

This hero is not only not chosen in SOLO matches, no one plays him in official matches either, and he hasn't been on the field for hundreds of years.

At this time, in the LPL All-Star team lounge.

Everyone looked at each other.

Xiao Ming looked at Xiye: "Xiye, what do you think of the hero Vel'Koz?"

Xiye spread his hands and said, "I don't know how to play, and I can't tell you."

The factory manager pondered: "Vek'Z... The opponent is Lucian. If he is approached, it will be very uncomfortable."

UZI sighed: "I don't think this hero is good, he's too weak. As long as Lucian can get close to him once, he will either die or be seriously injured."

Whenever Uzi finds out, the factory manager will always argue: "Isn't it enough to just not give you the chance to get close? Is that so difficult?"

UZI laughed and said, "Just wait and see. This time, Mozi is likely to fail."

Entering the game screen, Su Mo felt relieved when he saw that the person on the opposite side was Lucian.

In fact, he had just thought that Faker would choose a hero like Lucian. If his Nasus faced Lucian in the last game, he would definitely lose and there would be no way to play.

Moreover, the hero Lucian is extremely strong in laning phase and can fight against any hero.

Faker's choice was relatively perfect.

[The host is detected to be fighting against a legendary player, the title "Legends Never Die" is triggered, activating the legendary feature: Sharpshooter]

[Sharpshooter: The more units the host hits with skills, the higher the prediction ability will be.]

Su Mo was stunned, and felt that this characteristic was something interesting!
The number of times a skill hits a unit. This unit is not necessarily a hero.

Can soldiers also do it?

If the soldiers also work, then he chose the right hero!
After going out, Su Mo chose to learn the W skill at level one.

This W skill can hit many targets at once if the conditions are right.

Soon, the first wave of soldiers came out. Su Mo walked forward and followed the soldiers, keeping a distance from the bushes.

Sure enough, Lucian appeared and walked out of the bushes on Su Mo's side, proving that he had been lying in ambush there.

Su Mo faces the line of soldiers and uses the W skill first.

Vel'Koz's W skill can be stored, that is to say, if it is not used for a long time, Vel'Koz will have two Ws. After using up one, he can immediately use the second one.

After the first shot is used, the CD will start counting until two shots are stored.

A surprising thing happened.

[Sharpshooter: The host releases skills and hits units 10 times cumulatively, increasing the prediction ability by 5%. ]

Su Mo's face lit up with joy. His W skill only hit the soldiers. There were only six soldiers in a wave. He released his W skill ten times in total.

It seems that this W skill can be used twice when released once, and the speed at which the number of uses accumulates is quite fast.

Faekr's Lucian is looking for an opportunity to consume Su Mo. He adjusts his position and intends to use the Q skill to penetrate the minions to consume the enemy.

But Su Mo immediately used his second W skill on the soldiers.

When the passive layer is full, the passive additional damage will be triggered.

I remember the commentator said: "In this game, Mozi chose to use the W skill at level 1 to quickly push the troops. This is also a strategy."

Faker felt the pressure from the minion line and began to adjust the angle, using the Q skill to push the minion line and trying to get the big eye at the same time. Unfortunately, Su Mo didn't give him any chance at all.

The second wave of soldiers came, and when the CD of Su Mo's next W skill was ready, he threw another W skill over.

[Sharpshooter: The host releases skills and hits units 30 times cumulatively, increasing the prediction ability by 15%. ]

Sure enough, it has happened more than thirty times!
This is so convenient, this hero perfectly fits the characteristics of a sharpshooter.

Su Mo's Vel'Koz reached level two, and Lucian also reached level two.

Faker began to look for opportunities to attack Su Mo.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "Although Vel'Koz's efficiency in pushing the minion line is quite good, I don't think Mozi will still want to win by last-hitting. I think that will be difficult to do."

"Faker played Lucian in this game. This hero is easy to last hit, the trajectory is comfortable, and the damage is sufficient. So far, he has not missed a single hit and is very stable."

Rita analyzed: "I think Brother Mozi is just waiting to level up. He may start attacking from level 3."

Su Mo continued to use the W skill to push the line of soldiers. Although the CD of this W skill seemed to be relatively long, requiring more than ten seconds, it could store energy, so only two shots were enough for a wave of soldiers. The time it took for a wave of soldiers to come over was enough to store two shots, which was completely sufficient.

However, this time, the moment he used W to clear the minion line, Lucian used his E skill and attacked Su Mo with one or two basic attacks. He did not use his Q skill, but chose to move immediately.

Regardless of whether Vel'Koz learns W or E, Lucian still needs to move.

However, Su Mo did not use any skills at all. His idea was very simple.

Now the prediction ability has not been improved yet, and there is a high probability that the skills will be dodged by movement.

Then you have to be frugal. The mage needs to learn how to control mana.

At this time in the LPL All-Star team lounge, UZI was puzzled:

"Ah? Brother Mozi is not going to fight back? The opponent has already attacked him, but he is still last-hitting. Why is he not fighting back?"

The factory manager refuted: "Why are you so anxious? It's not you who is fighting on top. He must have his own strategy."

UZI laughed: "So Mozi's strategy is not to switch hands, but to last hit. He was able to last hit and win the last game because Faker was out of health and didn't dare to last hit. You don't think Faker's basic skills are bad, do you?"

The factory manager turned into a brainless fan: "Faker's basic skills are none of my business, I just know that Xiao Mo will definitely win."

The third wave of soldiers came, and Su Mo continued to push the soldiers with the W skill.

This wave of troops includes cannon carts and seven units.

Vel'Koz's W hit both targets in succession, and this has accumulated 14 times.

Two Ws means 28 times!
Su Mo kept counting his hits.

Lucian once again used his E skill to consume the enemy, and he also moved away after the attack, not being greedy. If he was hit by Vel'Koz, he would definitely not be able to withstand the damage.

Su Mo still didn't fight back.

Guan Zeyuan felt something was wrong:
"Brother Mozi is serious. Is he really only planning to last hit? But Lucian is not missing a single hit now. If he continues like this, the probability of losing is even greater."

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

"Brother Mozi, what are you doing? Why don't you fight back?"

"The opponent is already in your face, and you're just going to let him hit you like this?"

"Could it be that Brother Mozi was intimidated by Faker? That's impossible."

"I understand. He wants Faker to win. Otherwise, the situation will be too ugly."

[Get +5 torture points from the audience]

The audience really couldn't stand it anymore, even though Lucian only made a little profit each time.

However, Viktor is not Nasus, he has no way to absorb blood, and if he continues to consume like this, he will not be able to bear it sooner or later.

Later on, if Lucian gets the chance to get close, he can kill Viktor with one move.

The fourth wave of soldiers came, and Su Mo still used the same strategy as before.

The difference is that this time Lucian is bolder. He uses E to get closer, AAQ...

After two subsequent shots failed to hit, Su Mo retreated.

Lucian makes a profit and leaves, getting rid of the aggro of the minions.

The fifth wave of troops!
Su Mo looked the same as before, continuing to push the line with W.

However, after the first W was fired, there was a reaction!
[Sharpshooter: The host releases skills and hits units 100 times cumulatively, increasing the prediction ability by 40%. ]

It feels about right!

Almost at the same time, Lucian used his E skill, and Su Mo counterattacked with his Q. Faker reacted quickly and chose to move immediately, stepping back and then moving forward.

However, Su Mo actively activated the Q skill, detonating this Q, which exploded in advance, split into two and shot to the left and right, hitting!

Lucian was slowed down by the Q skill, and Vel'Koz took the opportunity to step forward and use the W skill. Lucian still wanted to move, but Su Mo used the E skill and knocked him into the air. His W also hit the target, triggering his passive skill. The damage was dealt, and Lucian lost half of his health!

Rita's eyes lit up: "Wow! Brother Mozi's combo is so cool! He used a full set of skills and directly made up for the previous health disadvantage! I feel like Faker tried his best to operate and position himself, but it was useless!"

Jide agreed, "That's right, we were all wondering why Brother Mozi didn't fight back, it turns out he was just waiting for a perfect opportunity!"

After this wave of fighting, Su Mo knew it was a success!
Now when he sees Lucian's movements, he can vaguely feel where Lucian will move next, which is the so-called predictive ability. By mastering the opponent's movement patterns, he can infer the most likely direction of the next step to the greatest extent.

The laning phase is still going on. Su Mo waits for the skill CD to end. The CD of the Q skill is relatively short, but it is not easy to hit the opponent with this Q skill.

While Lucian's E skill has not been refreshed yet, Su Mo closes the distance and uses the W skill to clear the minion line. In fact, it is also to force Lucian to move, and then directly use a Q skill.

This Q skill flew towards Lucian's side. Faker's Lucian moved up and down, pretended to retreat first, and suddenly moved forward, perfectly catching Vel'Koz's Q skill!
Rita commented: "Hit again! Mozi's skill hit rate is a bit exaggerated now. I feel like Faker has tried his best to move, but it's no use!"

Faker could only eat the supplies on his body, and now he suddenly felt something was wrong. Vel'Koz's arms were very long, and he would definitely not be able to beat him if he didn't get close to him. But if he got close to him, Vel'Koz still had the E skill, and once he was knocked into the air, he would have to take the full set of skills. Why did it feel so difficult to beat him?

The next wave of soldiers came, and Su Mo began to slow down the pace of pushing the soldiers. He needed to control the blue mana.

Moreover, the reason why we were in a hurry to push the line of troops was actually to increase the bonus of the sharpshooter characteristic. Now the bonus is sufficient and there is no need for this.

Faker now chooses to hide in the pile of minions. Vel'Koz's Q skill will be blocked by the minions, so Su Mo seems to have no way out.

However, it's not that there is really no way out. Su Mo first threw out a Q skill, and then a W to Lucian. Lucian took two steps back to create distance. Su Mo took the initiative to split the Q skill again, and hit again!
In the LPL All-Stars locker room, the factory manager smiled and said, "Nice! Great Q, everything is under control now. Why do I feel like Faker's positioning isn't that good?"

Xiye said: "This is not a problem with Faker's positioning, it's that Vel'Koz's prediction is too strong. My god, how many times has Mozi practiced? His skill proficiency is so terrifying."

The factory manager muttered, "It seems like he hasn't played this hero much, really."

Hearing this, UZI disagreed: "Mingkai, stop talking nonsense, okay? How could you not have played it before? You haven't played it before either, why don't you try it?"

The factory manager retorted, "I am me, he is him. Xiao Mo is extremely talented, what does that have to do with me? You are not jealous, are you?"

UZI was indeed upset when he heard what the factory manager said just now. After all, he was also known as a genius, but it took him a long time to practice a hero, but Su Mo could use it right away? Is that fair?
Soon, both Vel'Koz and Lucian reached level six.

At this time, Su Mo's health advantage was obvious, and he started to take the lead in last-hitting, although he was only ahead by two hits. This meant that the pressure was now on Faker.

[Sharpshooter: The host releases skills and hits units 200 times cumulatively, increasing the prediction ability by 80%. ]

Su Mo felt like a new world had opened up.

Lucian's seemingly random and disorganized movements suddenly became traceable.

Su Mo threw a Q skill directly towards the wall next to him.

I remember muttering, "Did my hand slip? Why did I throw the skill over here?"

Faker couldn't understand it either. After the Q skill entered the wall, he couldn't see it anymore and had no idea how to respond.

Suddenly, Vel'Koz's Q skill split and rushed towards Lucian quickly, passing through between two minions on his side and hitting him!
The audience was shocked:
"Oh my god, there's a cheat! Brothers, there's a cheat!"

"If this isn't cheating, then what is this? This is too outrageous."

"Dude, you can even hit this? Are you a sharpshooter?"

"What does it mean to hit the target from a hundred paces? This is it!"

The worst thing was that when Lucian saw the Q skill flying over, he used the E skill, but it was too slow and was still hit by the Q skill, causing a slowing effect.

Now I have a passive skill and am being slowed down, the opponent will definitely not let me go!

However, if Vel'Koz comes up and uses the E skill, that is Lucian's chance. He can take the opportunity to counterattack, or at least exchange flash.

However, Su Mo did not get close, but followed up with a W skill at the maximum distance, and then directly activated the ultimate move!
The first part of the W skill hits, and Lucian has two layers of passive at this time. Vel'Koz activates his ultimate skill and the three layers of passive are fully stacked, dealing passive damage.

Vel'Koz's ultimate continues to deal damage, and Lucian is about to die.

I remember the commentator said: "Faker has flash, shouldn't he use it? Or should he use it and retreat? However, Vel'Koz doesn't seem to let him go. With so little health left, he is in great danger!"

The audience was excited because it looked like the winner was about to be decided.

Su Mo chased forward, waiting for the next Q skill.

There are no minions protecting Lucian, and he suddenly feels very dangerous, but there is nothing he can do, because Vel'Koz still has the E skill, so he is not safe just by hiding among the minions.

Now Faker has neither E nor flash, so he can only rely on positioning.

Rita commented: "Faker is about to face a positioning test. Mozi has a flash. He flashes and first uses his Q skill, then his W!"

"Lucian chose not to move this time. He turned around, trying to dodge the skill by thinking in reverse, but Vel'Koz split his Q skill in advance and it seemed that he was about to be hit. Lucian turned around again, but it was too late!"

Vel'Koz's Q skill hit, and Lucian was killed instantly!

Rita smiled brightly and commented: "Solo kill! In the second game of the solo match, Mozi didn't choose to last hit to win, he chose a solo kill! Let's congratulate Mozi, his Vel'Koz's skill hits were too exaggerated and too smooth."

Jide agreed: "He is indeed a bit invincible. This hero has very long arms. His biggest problem is that his skills are easy to miss. If he can ensure the hit rate of his skills, then I feel that only some assassin heroes can deal with him. Archers and mages are definitely not his opponents. Congratulations to Mozi for advancing to the finals."

The SOLO match is over. This time the audience was very happy watching the match. It was different from the torture they felt in the last match.

At this time in the LCK All-Star Game locker room, they felt a little sad when they saw this result.

Xiao Huasheng said, "Now there are no players from our region in the SOLO competition, so it's impossible for us to win the championship. But this is just an entertainment competition, so it doesn't matter whether we win the championship or not."

Khan reminded us: "Before we set out, the LCK officials told us to try to get as many results as possible. Now it seems that the only way is to win the regional competition championship."

CoreJJ said: "We have to be serious tomorrow. As for the entertainment effect, that is not what we should care about."

Ruler said with emotion: "Although this person's hero selection and tactics are very strange, he can actually make Faker unable to fight back. It's really terrifying."

Peanut looked at Khan and said, "In tomorrow's game, you need to be more stable in the top lane and don't give him any chances. If there are no problems in the top lane, we have a good chance of winning. Their other lanes are not very strong."

Ruler suddenly interrupted: "The others are not very strong? I think this statement is a bit too casual. Their bottom lane is actually quite strong."

Peanut looked over and said, "You think you can't beat him?"

Ruler waved his hand: "It's hard to say, but I'm not absolutely sure."

Everyone decided that tomorrow's final would be difficult, and they could only expect LPL to select a very bad lineup. Although winning would be a bit unfair, it would still be better than losing.

After the game, Su Mo stood up and walked over to Faker to shake hands. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, Faker didn't say anything.

After shaking hands, the two walked towards the team passage together and returned to their respective lockers.

As soon as Su Mo entered the lounge, others surrounded him.

The factory manager congratulated: "Xiao Mo, well done. I feel like Faker is just a rookie in front of you and can't fight back at all."

Su Mo replied: "That's too exaggerated. I can still fight back. In the first match, I was almost killed by him at level 6."

Xiye laughed and said, "You obviously did that on purpose. You knew you could reach level 6, wouldn't die, and could drain the opponent's mana."

Xiao Ming said: "All that's left is tomorrow's regional competition. I feel like this All-Star Game is going to be a great success."

At this time, UZI said: "No, I haven't played my solo semi-final yet, you guys should at least care about me."

UZI said this and left, going on stage to start the game.

The LPL All-Star team gathered together to watch the game.

As the players from both teams came on stage, Xiao Ming muttered, "We must win. If Uzi wins, we will reach the finals and secure the championship. Then it will all depend on how Uzi and Mozi play in the final."

The factory manager chuckled and said, "It's not that simple. I think Uzi is going to fail."

However, UZI's SOLO was indeed unique. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, he still won 2-0 in the end.

In this way, UZI and Su Mo will meet in the finals.

After UZI came back, the LPL All-Star team prepared to leave.

Go out and find a place to eat first, then go back to the hotel to rest.

Nothing happened overnight, and the next day was the last day of the All-Star Game.

Today’s schedule includes the regional competition finals and the SOLO competition finals.

At noon, the LPL All-Star team went out to eat together.

Coincidentally, they ran into the LCK All-Star team at the dining area.

The two teams greeted each other politely, then ate their own food and chatted about their own things.

The most uncomfortable thing is that everyone in LCK knows that Su Mo can understand Korean, so they don’t dare to say anything very explicit.

And they themselves can't understand Chinese, so they don't know what the LPL is saying.

The whole meal tasted tasteless, and I was just guessing what the LPL was saying.

After dinner, the two teams came to the competition venue together.

Entering the lounge, Su Mo put down his bag. At this moment, Xiye came over and asked:

"Brother Mozi, you are an expert on what lineup to play today, and we will listen to you."

Xiao Ming agreed: "That's right, we all have to learn from you when it comes to program effects."

Su Mo thought about it and said, "I think they are all the same. Choose whatever you want to play."

Xiye smiled and said, "Brother Mozi, don't hide it. We are all teammates, right? We fight side by side. Just pick a hero and I'll see if I can play it."

Su Mo could only say one at random: "Just... the Viktor I used yesterday, you can take it out and try it."

Hearing this, Xiye was stunned: "I don't know how to play this hero. I have never played it before."

Su Mo spread his hands and said, "Then I can't help you. I don't know which heroes you can play."

The factory manager came over to join in the fun: "I taught you and you still say you don't know how to play. There's really nothing I can do."

Xiye gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, although I'm not very proficient at this hero, I've actually played this hero before..."

Then, Xiye walked to the computer next to him, turned it on and started practicing, saying, "Let me get a feel for it first."

Xiao Ming came over and asked, "Brother Mozi, which hero do you think is better for me to choose?"

Su Mo thought about it: "If Vel'Koz is in the middle, you as a support must choose a hero who will initiate the fight first, and it is better to choose a hero with crowd control."

Xiao Ming nodded: "Okay, I'll choose one according to this standard."

Su Mo glanced at coach Hong Mi, who said, "Brother Mozi, you decide. You are the expert in this area."
