LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 265: Who will be the champion in the final?
The situation suddenly changed and the SKT fans at the scene cheered.

The Prince flashes and uses EQ twice in a row, and Iron Man flashes and uses his ultimate just for this soul.

And Minotaur flashed WQ to knock away Aatrox, Vampire and Sejuani, leaving all of them behind!

As long as Lucian is gone, it will be six against four!

Just when everyone thought Lucian would be killed instantly, Lucian gained a shield from Morgana.

At the same time, Lucian turned golden!
Guan Zeyuan commented: "Lucian had a stopwatch, so he didn't die! He held on, Vampire's ultimate hit Yasuo, Iron Man and Jarvan, and the charged E skill fired an explosive AOE! Aatrox entered the field! Aatrox activated his ultimate, Q1, Q2, the damage was too high, and the fatal sword energy took down the opposite Yasuo!"

"Lucian flashes back, Gragas uses his E skill and flashes, and kills Lucian with one Q, but Iron Man is about to die. Sword Demon's Q3E hits Iron Man, and Vampire's red fury Q and the damage of his ultimate skill take him down!"

Rita continued, "Mozi's Sword Demon is still invincible. The opponent has no skills left, but he is still full of health. His health will only increase as the fight continues. Minotaur and Gragas have no flash, so they can only wait to die. Prince is being chased by Sejuani and Vampire. He has no magic resistance and can't hold on any longer. He has to give up his life!"

"It turns out the vampire's name isn't Vladimir, the real vampire's name is Aatrox!"

Although Lucian was killed, SKT lacked stamina and fled in all directions, being defeated one by one.

ACE!

Another wave of team wipeout!
I remember the commentator saying, "SKT spent too many skills on Lucian, and the key was that they didn't kill him in the first place. Everyone gathered together and took all the AOE from Vladimir and Aatrox. They definitely couldn't win this teamfight."

Guan Zeyuan continued, "Yes, so now EDG has won a great victory and is going to attack from the middle lane. Unexpectedly, SKT used a big move lineup and had a huge advantage in the early stage, but was overturned by Aatrox in two teamfights."

"Brother Mozi showed us the strength of the new version of Aatrox. He is not only the first player to play with the new version of Aatrox, but also the first player to get a pentakill with the new version of Aatrox!"

EDG's troops are leading the mid lane to the high ground, pushing the front tower, ready for a wave.

Meiko cheered, "Brother Mozi is invincible! Brother Mozi is so handsome!"

Iboy said: "I still underestimated the opponent's chain control and was almost killed instantly. Fortunately, I had a stopwatch to avoid it. Brother Mozi is really strong."

Su Mo said: "I can't get it without your help. We are a team."

The factory manager smiled and said, “This is the pattern.”

Rita announced: "As SKT's base crystal exploded, let us congratulate EDG and congratulate them for defeating SKT and winning a valuable point for LPL. Now LPL has also reached three points, there is still hope!"

The audience cheered in unison: “EDG! EDG! EDG!”

The game was over, and the EDG players took off their headphones, stood up, and accepted the cheers from the audience.

Everyone walked towards SKT together.

After getting closer, Su Mo saw SKT top laner Thal. This man didn't even dare to look up at him. It seemed that he was defeated.

Then there was the jungler, Blank. This guy always had a timid expression on his face, which was very strange. It wasn't because they lost this game. Su Mo had the same feeling when he met him before.

Next, Faker.

Su Mo had a familiar feeling when he saw Faker, after all, he was an old rival.

Faker is still so polite and maintains a professional smile.

Then there was Bang. Just like last year, after losing the game, Bang didn’t seem to have much emotion and was rather calm.

Finally it was the support player Wolf. Unlike Bang, Wolf had a stern face, and his emotions were written all over his face. He looked very unhappy and unconvinced.

After shaking hands with everyone from SKT, Su Mo led his team members to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience.

Then, host Luo Xin came on stage: "Congratulations to EDG again, congratulations on their victory over SKT and winning a valuable point for LPL. It was a very exciting game. Fortunately, there was no danger. Now let us welcome Brother Mozi to accept our interview."

Su Mo was left behind to be interviewed and walked to the center of the stage.

The director turned the camera over, and the audience began to cheer: "Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi!"

Luo Xin began to ask questions: "Brother Mozi, this game is very important to LPL. After EDG won, LPL retained the possibility of competing for the first place. In such an important game, why did you choose the newly reworked Aatrox?"

Su Mo responded:

"Because I was able to win the game, judging by the final result, I made the right choice."

Luo Xin asked, "But before the fight, how did you know that the Sword Demon could win the game?"

Su Mo replied: "Didn't I win in the end?"

So Luo Xin was stunned, as if she was confused by Su Mo.

The comments in the live broadcast room are all:
"Brother Mozi has started bullying Luo Xin again."

"Isn't it just bullying Luo Xin for being stupid?"

"Brother Mozi is too mean, give me more!"

"It's down, it's overloaded, and it can't turn."

So Luo Xin simply changed the question: "Second question, Brother Mozi, do you think LPL still has a chance to surpass LCK and become number one? Is the possibility high?"

Su Mo replied: "I think it's very likely. I believe in the team in our region. They were just in a bad state yesterday and they will improve today."

In the LPL lounge, RNG and RW were under tremendous pressure after hearing this!

After all, they both lost yesterday.

UZI looked at the RNG players and said, "Perform well and don't bring shame to LPL."

Doinb also looked at the RW team: "Brother Mozi has spoken, if we still can't win..."

A Guang reminded: "We are playing against the LMS team today."

Doinb was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, that's fine."

So the pressure is put on IG, as IG is the one playing against LCK today.

The IG members exchanged glances with each other and seemed relatively calm.

Soon, Su Mo returned to the lounge after finishing the interview.

Doinb greeted him, "Brother Mozi, why are you so strong? You can even defeat five people at one time."

Su Mo smiled and said, "Because my teammates are awesome. They gave me a chance to fight one against five."

Xiaohu had an admiring look on his face: "So humble? You are worthy of being Brother Mozi."

UZI gave Xiaohu a claw: "You should think about how to play."

Su Mo returned to EDG and Abu came over to greet him: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Mo. You played really well! We in LPL can finally see hope now."

The factory manager said: "At worst we can play LMS again in the semi-finals, it's not a big problem."

Su Mo took out his mobile phone to check the pace online.

Sure enough, many LPL fans have become optimistic:
"With EDG here, what are you afraid of? Won't they win in the end?"

"Brother Mozi will know whether there is any chance or not once he makes a move."

"As long as Brother Mozi takes action, everything will be fine."

"But SKT is 8th in LCK and EDG is 1st in LPL. They are both so difficult to beat."

The second game started soon.

This time it's RW playing against the LMS team.

Before leaving, Doinb said: "Come on for us, everyone please cheer for us."

RW won this game easily.

In the third game, LCK played against LMS. In everyone's eyes, the LMS region is now an experience baby.

No matter it is LCK or LPL, as long as it is a big LMS, it will definitely win.

But! An accident happened!

"FW brought out Iron Man in the bottom lane. Is this a tactic learned from SKT? How should AFS respond?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at the screen and found that it was true!

FW really brought out Iron Man and also went to the bottom lane.

Meiko muttered, "They didn't learn it on the spur of the moment. Although Tienan doesn't seem to need any operation, it's not that simple."

The factory manager agreed, "Indeed, I feel like they are going to flip. It doesn't matter. They will lose no matter what they choose."

Thirty minutes later, everyone on EDG was shocked.

FW actually won!

The factory manager exclaimed: "This Iron Man is too good, he defeated AFS with just the dragon soul? The dragon soul destroyed the tower, and the dragon soul killed the big dragon. This one trick is enough to conquer the world."

Meiko explained: "Otherwise, if it wasn't for Brother Mozi stepping up and commanding us in the last game, we would have been finished."

So everyone had a new understanding of Su Mo's role.

Abu reminded: "Since LCK lost to LMS once, we have hope. They are now five points and we are four points. If we don't lose, and IG can beat KT in the end, we can be first."

Everyone looked at IG. Now KT is the second in LCK, second only to KZ.

Abu went forward to communicate with Coach Jin and discuss countermeasures.

"Xiao Mo, come here." Abu called out.

Su Mo came over, and Abu said, "Xiao Mo, do you have any suggestions? How can IG beat KT? BP, tactics, anything is fine."

"Oh my god!" Meiko exclaimed. He had never seen such treatment before. He was actually called to coach other teams.

Although Su Mo has always had the power to influence BP in EDG and can provide various suggestions.

But after all, we are all in the team. Even if something goes wrong, we are all family and no one will say anything.

Giving suggestions to IG now is another matter, which shows that Abu completely trusts Su Mo.

Su Mo looked at Theshy: "Theshy must have trained the Sword Demon."

Theshy nodded: "Yeah."

"You can pick Aatrox in the top lane. Smeb is not at his peak right now. He can't compete with you in terms of mechanics.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. Smeb was the world's number one top laner after all. Although he has indeed declined now, how could Su Mo be so sure that Smeb could not beat Theshy?

Theshy smiled: "Okay."

Su Mo looked at Rouji in the middle lane: "Can we get the middle lane? The opponent's mid laner is average in laning, so put enough pressure on him. Of course, their jungler and support like to roam around and cause trouble, so..."

Su Mo looked at Jackeylove and said, "We must also put enough pressure on the bottom lane and restrict their players. If KT can't work together, they won't win because their individual strength is not as good as yours."

After hearing this, Abu discussed it with Coach Jin again.

That’s all Su Mo could say.

A moment later, the most ideal script for LPL came!
RNG defeated the LMS team, LPL and LCK were evenly divided, and the last game, IG vs. KT, will determine who will be the first in the group stage.

The time is almost up, Coach Jin calls on all IG members to come on stage.

Doinb said: "Come on IG! Come on IG! Everyone lend your energy to IG!"

RW Everyone was so embarrassed that A Guang wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

The EDG players stood in front of the screen to watch the game, and the RW and RNG players also squeezed in.

"Please squeeze in, squeeze in, let us take a look too." More than 20 people gathered together to watch, paying close attention.

Players from both teams come on the field, shake hands, return to their respective positions, and the game begins!
During the BP stage, IG really followed Su Mo's advice and directly took out Irelia and Aatrox to form a double warrior combination.

The support position got Minotaur, and the ADC position chose Lucian.

At the same time, remove ADCs like Xia who have strong self-protection abilities.

Su Mo commented: "If there are no problems during the laning phase, this game has great hope."

Zizi responded, "If Brother Mozi says so, then I feel relieved."

Entering the game screen, IG increased its intensity crazily during the laning phase, especially in the top and mid lanes, which made KT breathless.

"Nice! Nice!" Doinb turned into an IG fan and was very excited.

However, being aggressive in laning makes it easy to be ganked. The first one to be caught was the top lane. The Aatrox was looking for an opportunity to consume the enemy's defense in front of the top lane defense tower, and the KT jungler came over from the river.

In a two-on-one situation, Theshy was not panicked. He fought and pulled the opponent, dodging skills frantically.

Doinb got excited: "Theshy! Hold on Theshy! Don't die!"

Ning Wang rushed over and made it a two-on-two situation, and finally made a one-for-two exchange.

Doinb cheered and said, "Nice! I made money. This wave is a big profit!"

Seeing how excited he is, people who don’t know him would think that the person playing the game is RW.

As the game continued, KT became overwhelmed by the pressure from the laning phase.

So they started playing dirty, with the jungler and the support causing trouble everywhere, leaving Deft to bear the pressure in the bottom lane.

Unfortunately, IG has seen this kind of play before, and Ning Wang went straight to the bottom lane and crossed the tower.

KT took money from one place to pay for another. As soon as they got a little advantage, they had to give it up in other places.

The two teams fought like this for more than twenty minutes.

Zzitai sighed: "It's so intense. The playing styles of these two teams are really tough and they are not afraid at all. But I feel that KT is not as good as IG in terms of operation, mainly because they rely on more people."

IG started to push the top and bottom lanes together, making full use of the advantages of the middle and top lanes. KT was unable to take care of both ends and was pulled very uncomfortably.

All the LP fans in the venue were excited. This game was crucial. If IG won, the LPL region could play one less BO5 later.

IG's economic lead slowly widened, and KT's play began to get anxious.

Suddenly, KT chose to catch the Aatrox who was pushing the line in the bottom lane, and IG decisively attacked the big dragon head-on.

Su Mo immediately made a judgment: "The big dragon is gone."

The Sword Demon uses his ultimate to speed up his retreat, fighting and retreating at the same time, using his E skill to dodge various skills. It's really an extreme move.

So, what was originally planned to be done in a few seconds took more than ten seconds to complete.

Although the Sword Demon was killed, it was too late for the top and jungle to go to the dragon pit, especially the jungler.

KT can only let the top laner TP over first to fight four against four, but without a jungler and little punishment, they can only start a team fight after the Baron is low on health.

As a result, they were frustrated by IG's operation and not only failed to save the Baron, but also gave away four more kills.

Doinb jumped up and said, "We won! IG has already won this game. KT, what are you doing? KT? You actually went to the bottom lane to gank Theshy. Don't you know that his mechanics are amazing?"

Three minutes later, IG used the big dragon to win the game!

Now everyone in LPL is happy!

Meiko cheered: "IG, my hero, we can play one less BO5, so cool!"

The factory manager agreed: "It's pretty cool. We don't have to waste time with LMS."

After a while, the IG team came back. As soon as they entered the room, Ning Wang started to brag: "How is it? Is he handsome? Little KT, it's easy to beat!"

Baolan complained: "Ning Mazi, you can stop it. This is not your Kerry game."

Prince Ning retorted, "Princess Lan, you are almost there. I have not made much contribution, have you?"

Abu greeted them, "Everyone has worked hard. To achieve such a good result, each of us has contributed. We are all heroes."

"Let's go back now, have a meal first, and then go back to review the game."

So everyone packed up and left together.

Walking out of the lounge, the LPL team met the twenty-odd people from the LMS region again.

But this time, their expressions looked a little strange, not as playful as they were yesterday.

So Ning Wang said: "Hey, isn't this LMS? You guys are going to play LCK in the semifinals, can you win? If not, I'll go home and fish."

Prince Ning was very brave and he went straight for A. He was not trying to hide anything and he walked right up to the other person and said this.

The faces of the LMS people turned red and green, and they seemed a little angry.

But I don’t know how to refute it.

Saying that you can win is equivalent to saying that LCK will lose, which is outrageous.

Saying that you will lose is too cowardly.

After holding it in for a long time, Maple said: "In the end, the championship belongs to LCK anyway."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone in LPL laughed. Isn't this equivalent to admitting that they can't win and have no hope in the semifinals? At the same time, they have to cheer for the LCK that defeated them. This is too hard to hold.

The LPL players left the competition venue and went to eat first. Everyone was very happy today and had good appetites.

After returning from dinner, Su Mo received a group message.

Rita: "Boss, we are starting to work, do you want to come with us?"

Su Mo: "Okay, I'll take a look at the situation."

Su Mo chose to go downstairs according to the room number Rita gave him. After finding the room, he knocked on the door:
"Dong dong dong."

Soon, the door opened and Luo Xin stood at the door. Seeing that it was Su Mo, she quickly invited Su Mo in: "Come on, Brother Mozi, we've already started!"

So Su Mo chose to edit the video with the two of them. The name of this video is called "Sword Demon in the River, the God Descends to Earth".

The next day.

The semi-finals have begun, the match between LCK and LMS, and the LPL people just need to be spectators.

Without any surprise, the LMS region was defeated by the LCK 3-0.

An outrageous thing happened. After being eliminated by LCK, the LMS players were cheering for LCK on their personal social media, saying that LCK would definitely win and the championship would definitely belong to LCK.

Only LMS can do such a thing as turning around to help cheer after being beaten up.

To everyone in LPL, it's nothing more than a joke.

Nothing happened overnight, and the final day arrived!

In the backstage lounge, more than 20 people gathered together to discuss tactics.

Abu said, "We don't know how the other side will arrange the order, so let's just draw lots, it's a bit random, maybe we can get a good result with luck."

Abu took out a deck of cards from his pocket.

Zizi smiled and said, "Are they going to start the magic show? So awesome?"

Abu complained: "Be serious, this is serious. EDG, IG, RNG, RW positions, send one person out and draw one card each."

"Then we compare the sizes. The smallest one goes first, the largest one goes last, and so on."

Then, Zzitai, Jackeylove, UZI, and Doinb each drew a poker card and turned it over.

The factory manager got the Jack of Diamonds.

Jackeylove is the ten of clubs
UZI got the 5 of Spades.

Doinb is the King of Clubs.

So UZI muttered: "So we RNG take the lead?"

Abu looked at Coach Heart standing beside him.

The other party nodded, as if to say that it was okay.

So he responded to Abu: "RNG is first, IG is second, EDG is third, and RW is fourth."

"Of course, if you want to change positions during the process, it's fine as long as the other party agrees. We are just determining a preliminary order, and it's not completely unchangeable."

RNG, being the first to go, gathered together and began to discuss how to play.

UZI looked at the other RNG members and said, "Whatever you do, whatever you do, we are the ones leading the charge, we can't lose."

Xiaohu looked embarrassed.

UZI said, "General Hu, please do something. You speak first."

Xiaohu had no choice but to say: "Now I don't know who my opponent is, and I don't know what to say."

UZI complained: "There are only four teams on the other side, and four mid laners. Can't we win against each of them?"

Xiaohu asked back: "Can you beat Deft?"

As soon as these words were spoken, people from the other three teams came over to watch the show.

Deft is UZI's arch-enemy, but he has left LPL. When they were in LPL, the two were always fighting each other. Judging from the historical record, Deft won more and lost less, and now Deft is in KT.

"Of course I can. Why not? You don't think I'm inferior to Deft, right? What's wrong with Deft?" UZI retorted.

Xiaohu stopped talking and touched his nose. He obviously had something in mind, but he didn't say it.

At this time, Abu reminded: "Everyone from RNG, the first game is about to start. I will report the situation on our side. You should be prepared."

Soon, Abu came back with a message: "The first team they played was KT."

When these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Meiko complained: "What you fear will come true. I think RNG is most afraid of KT, and they really ran into it."

Zizi whispered: "If RNG loses, it will be a bad thing for us."

So everyone was no longer happy. This was not the time to just watch the fun. Every game was important!
On the other side, at the competition venue, the audience seats were already packed with people, and the audience were holding all kinds of cheering signs in their hands.

This was the most chaotic one, with all kinds of cheering signs.

In the commentary booth, Wawa, Miller and Rita were ready.

Wawa explained: "Hello, audience friends, the final of the League of Legends Asia Challenge will be held soon. The four teams from the LPL region, EDG, IG, RNG, and RW, will face the four teams from the LCK region, KZ, KT, AFS, and SKT."

Miller continued, "The format of this competition is quite special. Although it is a BO5, it is completed by eight teams. In the first four games, both sides can only send teams that have not played yet. Only in the fifth game can teams that have already played be arranged to play."

"This is a real test of the overall level. The result cannot be changed simply by the strength of one team. At the same time, the order of appearances of both sides is kept secret. Before making a decision, neither side knows who the other side will arrange to play, which adds a lot of uncertainty."

Rita suddenly reminded: "Now the first match has been confirmed, RNG vs. KT. These two teams seem to have a close relationship. No matter what, I hope LPL fans can cheer for RNG!"
