LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

On the other side, the EDG team returned to the lounge, and after some celebration, they left the arena under the leadership of Abu and went directly to eat with the trophy.

Although it is still in time to return home, everyone wants to experience the local characteristics.

Especially Meiko, who has been enduring for so many days and can finally eat to her heart's content.

As expected, the accident happened and Meiko had diarrhea that night.

However, when everyone asked him if he regretted it, he said no, as long as it satisfied his desire.

After MSI ended, the EDG club began to take a holiday, and Su Mo was busy with business matters, helping Rita sell clothes, jewelry, and various things she designed herself.

Luo Xin also registered several food patents, indicating that he wanted to show his talents.

At the same time, major LPL clubs are also adjusting their rosters.

First is RNG, Langx becomes the new starting top laner.

And the posture suddenly became marginal.

Zizi went to Su Mo to cry and Su Mo laughed at her. No, he actually comforted Zizi.

Su Mo is not worried about Zzitai's future. He is so good at making things happen, and if things really don't work out, he can do live streaming.

The holiday is only one week long and the summer season is about to begin.

Su Mo said that the regular season was mainly used for training, giving newcomers more opportunities to perform.

This way he can concentrate on practicing!

RNG seemed to be in good shape and made it all the way to the top three.

FPX maintained its lead and maintained its first position.

The second place is TOP.

As for EDG, it dropped directly to fourth place and never found a chance to surpass RNG.

Even in the second half, EDG was surpassed by BLG and was pushed down to the fifth place.

The most surprising thing is IG. Everyone was optimistic about IG. After all, it was the runner-up last year and would fight against EDG in the decisive battle.

Except for Rookie, everyone else is quite young and the lineup has not changed.

But this season, IG's regular season record collapsed!

Straight to the edge of the playoffs.

This is something most people would never think of.

It’s July now and the Intercontinental Championship has begun!

Shanghai Airport.

Su Mo was carrying a suitcase and wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap, covering his face tightly.

It's not that Su Mo is being pretentious, he's just too busy. If he goes shopping outside, he will be seen by countless people along the way and asked to take photos with them, which will waste his time. After all, he has something to do today.

Soon, a crowd appeared in front, crowded together, hundreds of people, like a fan meeting.

Seeing this situation, Su Mo understood, took out his mobile phone to send a message, and took the opportunity to enter the airport.

Su Mo stayed in the waiting hall for half an hour before other people finally came in.

"Brother Mozi! Why did you come in first?" Meiko came up and greeted him.

Su Mo replied: "There is no way, there are too many people."

The factory manager sat next to Su Mo and said, "I heard that the LCK lineup is very strong this time."

Su Mo looked to the side: "Our lineup is also very strong."

"Brother Mozi." The speaker was IG's starting ADC, Jackeylove.

"A Shui, this intercontinental competition depends on your IG performance." Su Mo joked.

Jackeylove smiled without saying anything, it was a helpless smile. IG is not in good shape now, and its ranking in the regular season is even behind EDG. Naturally, Jackeylove cannot be happy.

Of course, not everyone lacks confidence in themselves.

Prince Ning came over and said, "Brother Mozi, leave it to us. We will help you win easily this time."

Baolan complained: "Can you please stop bragging? Last time we played against EDG, Mozi didn't even play, but you still couldn't beat them. The jungle was destroyed."

Ning Wang looked at Jiejie next to him and said, "Brother, I feel like you have something. You are pretty good. I remember that you just started playing in the LPL in the spring season. It's only been a few months, right?"

Jiejie didn't respond and was rather aloof.

"Did you learn this from Brother Mozi? Brother Mozi must have given you special training."

Seeing Jiejie was silent, King Ning came to Su Mo and said, "Brother Mozi, he must be your apprentice. If he was taught by the factory director, he wouldn't be so powerful."

The factory manager was furious after hearing this: "What do you mean? Ning Mazi, what do you mean? How come the one I taught is no good?"

Prince Ning said with a smile: "Stop pretending, Director. Don't I know what your level is?"

The factory manager was furious: "Okay, next time I meet you IG, I will go up and fight to see what level you are at."

Prince Ning chuckled and said, "If you insist on letting us win, then I can't do anything about it."

Su Mo smiled. Prince Ning was quite good at having the mentality of a master.

"Shouldn't we be united at this time? Are you guys quarreling?"

came a voice.

I saw 369 poking his head out from behind King Ning.

"369, TOP's people?" King Ning looked back and found that the other TOP people were all there and were walking towards this side.

"Hello, everyone. Brother Mozi! Oh! Brother Mozi!"

A spirited young man suddenly rushed out, grabbed Su Mo's hand and shook it madly.

"Nice, it's Brother Mozi, we are saved! Brothers, we can just win without doing anything!"

Doinb!

At this time, Doinb was very excited, as if he had hyperthyroidism.

Su Mo responded: "Silver Coin, your FPX is now number one, and logically you should be the ones to carry the banner."

Doinb shook his head for a moment: "How could that be? Brother Mozi, if you come on the court, we FPX will have 20 shots. How can we beat you? We can't win at all."

The other members of FPX also came over. Xiaotian saw Su Mo and greeted him, "Brother Mozi."

The other members of FPX all look rather aloof, in contrast to Doinb.

In this way, the four teams are complete.

EDG, TOP, IG, FPX.

Abu greeted, "Everyone, I'm setting up a group. Come in and I'll scan the code for you so it's easier to communicate."

So everyone scanned the QR code to join the group.

Doinb stayed at Su Mo's side and refused to leave. He sat opposite Su Mo, smiling.

Su Mo didn't know why Doinb was so energetic every day.

I feel like I have endless energy.

More than half an hour later, the four LPL teams boarded the plane to LCK.

After landing, I went straight to the hotel. The hotel was near the competition venue, which was very convenient. I could just walk to the game.

The EDG members first got the room cards, took the elevator up, then found their respective rooms and settled their luggage.

It’s time for dinner, Abu notified the EDG group to go out and eat something together.

Su Mo left the room and waited for everyone else to arrive. Then he followed everyone downstairs and left the hotel. He looked for delicious food around and found a hotel nearby. It looked quite grand and had nice decoration.

After entering the first floor and communicating with the front desk, the EDG team came to the elevator and prepared to go up.

The elevator came down and the door opened. Abu was about to go in, but found that there were a lot of people inside, so he took a step back.

A tall, stern-faced, and somewhat childish boy walked out!
The young man glanced at everyone in EDG and his eyes fixed on Su Mo, but he just glanced at him, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

The boys following behind the boy were all of similar age, and it was obvious that they were from a professional team. "Oh! That handsome guy just now... seems to be Chovy, right? GRF's mid laner, right? With his height and looks, it must be him!" Meiko exclaimed.

The factory manager sneered: "Is this what you care about all day long?"

Meiko responded: "No, he is very strong, really. Even though he is a rookie, in the LCK mid lane, no one can beat him. Haven't you read the news?"

Clearly, the factory manager really didn't see it, and retorted: "It's just that the LCK is too bad now."

As everyone entered the elevator, Abu greeted them, "Don't underestimate GRF. Really, let me tell you a terrifying statistic. Isn't there a statistic called KDA per position?"

"In the LCK Summer Split regular season, five positions ranked first in KDA, and GRF accounted for four of them."

Hearing this, everyone in EDG was stunned. It really was a bit outrageous when viewed from this perspective!

Meiko muttered, "These five positions? Which one isn't?"

Abu responded: "Mid single."

"Ah? That's not right. I remember Chovy was pretty good. He was the absolute core of the team."

Abu explained: "Because the first place is someone else, DWG's mid laner Showmaker."

"DWG? Is that the DWG that Mozi mentioned before, a team with great prospects?" Iboy also became curious.

Abu nodded: "Yes, they just entered LCK this year. Now DWG's overall performance is second in LCK, GRF is first, and SB is third, which is also a rookie team."

Iboy exclaimed: "Ah? The top three of LCK are dominated by newcomers? What's going on? Where are the old guys in LCK?"

Abu responded: "T1 is in fourth place now, but as you know, Faker is the only veteran in the team, and the others are all newcomers."

Iboy was amazed: "Is LCK's ability to generate blood so strong? It's only been a year, and there are already more than a dozen powerful newcomers?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "What do you think? That's why some people said before that LPL will be invincible in the future, and EDG will be invincible in the world. Now you know that you underestimated the enemy."

After the EDG team finished their meal and returned to the hotel, Abu chose to call everyone from the other three teams over.

Abu said, "Everyone, the competition will start tomorrow. The schedule is very tight. We will play the points match with the LMS and LCK regions first. The top two will advance. This should be easy, right?"

Ning Wang laughed: "To play against LMS, wouldn't it be enough to just use one hand? How can we not advance?"

Baolan pulled King Ning back: "Don't stand in front, don't talk!"

Abu continued: "You should have studied the four LCK teams."

Everyone looked at each other, it seemed that there was none.

This is normal. The competition in LPL is too fierce now, and all the energy is focused on their own region.

In the past, because LCK always won the championship, everyone liked to watch LCK games to get inspiration.

Since winning two consecutive EDGS titles and three consecutive MSI titles, the situation has completely changed.

Other regions around the world are watching LPL games for inspiration.

Therefore, LPL knows very little about teams in other regions, but has been thoroughly studied by other regions.

Abu had no choice but to say: "It's too late to study now. The order in which the other party will play is also unknown."

"Then we can only play our part. Let's determine our order of appearance."

Ning Wang volunteered: "We IG..."

But before he could finish, Baolan covered his mouth.

Abu looked at TOP, left hand, Xx, 369...

However, the people from TOP seem to be more low-key and choose to remain silent.

There was no choice, Abu looked at Doinb and Xiaotian again.

The other FPX players took a step back, and Doinb stood out.

"Then you FPX will be the headrest." Abu called out.

"Ah? Why?" Doinb hadn't figured out the situation yet when he suddenly realized something was wrong. Looking back, he saw that his teammates had all stood behind him, making it seem as if he was the one who stood out.

Doinb didn't care: "It seems that this matter can only be left to us. I will bring back victory, Brother Mozi!"

Su Mo didn't feel strange, he was used to it.

Abu made a note and then said, "What about the second game?"

The factory director volunteered:

"We'll go up in the second game. If FPX wins, we'll win again, 2-0. The opponent will definitely be under a lot of pressure. If FPX loses, we'll go up and tie the score."

Xiaotian joked: "Sure, Director, you are so confident, it seems that you are going to do it yourself."

The factory manager was stunned. Actually, he had no such plan yet. Jiejie was doing well now.

But we can’t lose in terms of momentum, so the factory manager said, “It’s not necessary for me to do it, I think Xiaojie is enough, right, Xiaojie?”

Jiejie nodded after hearing this.

Abu continued: "Then who will be the third one to go up, IG or TOP?"

Ning Wang really held back this time and broke free: "I! IG!"

Abu said, "Okay, it's decided. Our order of appearance is FPX, EDG, IG, and TOP. Of course, if there is a fifth game... we'll see who is more suitable to play."

Abu left some room for EDG. If EDG lost, EDG definitely couldn't be allowed to play in the fifth game, otherwise it would be unfair.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day, the four LPL teams gathered in front of the hotel.

set off!

The ten-minute walk attracted a lot of people's attention along the way.

I even met fans several times, who came in groups of three or five to watch the game.

After entering the competition venue, everyone went straight to the backstage lounge.

Just then, Su Mo saw a slightly short and immature figure wearing a white team uniform, followed by several young people.

Showmaker!

DWG's starting mid laner ranked first in KDA among mid laners in the LCK Summer Season, surpassing Faker and Chovy!

Su Mo recognized him at a glance. Although Showmaker was a little short, he had a very imposing aura.

Suddenly, Showmaker turned his head and looked at Su Mo, and the two had a brief eye contact.

However, Su Mo didn't feel comfortable saying hello, after all, it was the first time they met.

Su Mo noticed another chubby boy next to him. Although he was chubby, he was very handsome.

DWG's starting jungler, Canyon!

A voice sounded behind Su Mo: "Isn't this the...DWG?"

The voice of King Ning.

Everyone in DWG turned around to look. Su Mo received special attention, and everyone looked at Su Mo before turning back.

After passing by the DWG players, the four LPL teams entered the lounge next door.

"Did you notice just now? Those DWG guys look so cool." Ning Wang joked.

Doinb said: "Very cool, very handsome, they must think they are very handsome, with their hands in their pockets."

"Especially Showmaker, wow, Showmaker~Mid King!"

Rookie smiled: "Is he the Midking in the Korean server now? I have some impression of him, he is quite powerful."

Doinb continued: "Their jungler is Jugking, the king of the jungle, are you afraid? Are you afraid? Anyway, I am scared to death."

Prince Ning looked at him with disdain: "Wild King? Haha, I want to see how wild he is!"

"Let IG play against DWG later."

Baolan complained: "Ning Mazi, please shut up. The order is set by the opponent themselves. How do we know their order of appearance? Besides, today is the points match, not the knockout round yet."

Prince Ning was stunned: "Hey! It seems so!"

Baolan rolled her eyes, thinking that this guy is hopeless. (End of this chapter)
