LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Su Mo found a place to sit down and took out his phone to check the rhythm online:

"With EDG here, there will be no accidents."

“What if EDG is the last to win, but they beat the opponent with three consecutive wins? Wouldn’t that mean we won’t have a chance to see EDG?”

"You don't think these four LCK teams are bad, do you?"

"There are so many newcomers in this LCK, I think there's something new!"

Now most netizens are relatively optimistic. After all, LPL has won three MSI championships in a row and is just waiting for this year's S championship to win three consecutive championships.

After a while, the time was almost up, and Abu said, "Today is the first game of the points competition, we play against FW..."

"Xiao Mo, do you want to go?"

Su Mo shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary."

Abu arranged, "Then Ray, are you ready? We are leaving."

On the other side, in the commentary booth at the game, Wawa said:

"Hello audience friends, welcome to the 2019 League of Legends Asia Championship."

"Today's first game is between EDG, the legendary S-League double champion and MSI triple champion, and FW, the regular participant of the World Championship from the wildcard region."

Rita replied, "I just received the news that EDG's starting lineup has appeared, and Mozi is not among them."

Miller smiled: "I guess it's because EDG thinks it's unnecessary. Of course, I'm not doubting FW's strength. I'm just guessing what EDG is thinking."

Players from both teams started to appear on the stage, and there were many EDG fans at the scene:
"EDG! EDG! EDG!"

In comparison, FW is a bit deserted.

After the players from both teams came on the field, they entered the BP phase of the first game.

Su Mo was not panicking at all in the lounge, and Ning Wang even tried to put pressure on Su Mo: "Brother Mozi, if you EDG loses, that would be terrible."

Su Mo smiled: "It's okay, we all prosper together and suffer together. If we EDG lose, we will all bear it together."

Prince Ning exclaimed: "Ah? This won't work."

Su Mo responded: "It's okay. If IG loses, we will bear the consequences together."

In terms of the early game rhythm, Jiejie blew up the opponent, and with the advantage in the mid lane, he easily won the LPL's first victory in 35 minutes!

"Nice!" Abu started clapping. He was under a lot of pressure.

Although EDG's regular season ranking is not high now, EDG is still regarded as the big brother of LPL, and the big brother naturally has to take the lead.

Soon, all the EDG players came back, their faces beaming with joy.

Abu greeted, "Well done!"

The factory manager also stepped forward and said, "Xiao Jie, you fought well! You are getting stronger and stronger now."

Abu continued: "The next game is... LCK vs. Wild Card, DWG vs. MAD."

"Let's take a look at DWG's strength first. Didn't you say you didn't have time to study it? Now's a good time to take a look."

A moment later, DWG's starting five came on stage.

Doinb shouted, "Wow! What a cool uniform! I didn't realize it just now. Their uniforms are really cool."

Meiko agreed: "He is indeed quite handsome, although a little worse than our EDG."

Doinb has doubts:
"Really? No way."

Meiko didn't explain and pointed to the two stars on his team jersey.

"OK! OK! I understand. I understand! You EDG are still more handsome." Doinb understood immediately.

After the DWG and MAD players appeared, they came to their respective positions and entered the BP phase.

It can be seen from the hero selection that DWG is very relaxed.

All five of them had relaxed expressions on their faces, with Lee Sin as the jungler, Syndra as the mid laner, and Draven and Thresh directly in the bottom lane.

Use whatever violence you can.

Ning Wang then looked at Jackeylove and said, "Hey, shorty, there's a Draven player here too, what do you say?"

Jackeylove said: "His Draven is average."

King Ning laughed: "Haha, you are not jealous."

Jackeylove rolled his eyes at Ning Wang.

Entering the game screen, DWG started a level one team fight directly. The level one team fight between the two teams was quite intense. Six kills were scored, with DWG getting four and the opponent getting two.

The most terrifying thing is that Canyon’s Lee Sin got a triple kill.

“Oh my god, what is this game? Lee Sin got a triple kill, so the opponent must be doomed?” exclaimed Ning Wang.

Indeed, after this wave ended, Canyon quickly cleared the jungle, counter-jungled, and completed a solo kill in the jungle.

The factory manager felt something was wrong: "Is this guy's speed in clearing the jungle wrong? Even though he got a triple kill in the first level group and has great equipment, he shouldn't be this fast."

Xiaotian also became alert: "I feel his method is a bit tricky, he is a master of tricks."

Ning Wang laughed: "What's the point of clearing the jungle quickly? It still depends on the operation."

Xiaotian and the factory manager looked at Prince Ning as if he were an idiot.

In fact, it is well known in the circle that Ning Wang's jungle clearing is very rough, and he is much slower than the average jungler.

This is a problem of technique, the skill release is unreasonable.

And this Canyon is already faster than they generally think!
The game turned into a massacre and DWG ended the game in more than 20 minutes.

LCK and LPL both got one point.

Abu muttered: "It feels like the opponent is not strong enough, and it's hard to see the upper limit of DWG."

Su Mo said: "Besides, they haven't played in LCK for long, so there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Abu greeted, "The next game is between us and LCK, IG vs. KZ."

Ning Wang perked up, but immediately thought of a question: "KZ? Who is the KZ jungler now?"

Baolan helplessly complained: "No, you don't even know this? Didn't the schedule come out a long time ago?"

Jiejie reminded: "KZ's jungler is CUZZ now, nothing has changed."

"Oh, it's C oil, right? It's him." King Ning didn't seem to think much of CUZZ.

"I remember that I used to brag about him being the best excavator in Korea and the best genius in Korea at the age of 16."

"Then in the S game, Mozi beat her to tears. That must be him, hahahaha."

Su Mo reminded: "Prince Ning, you'd better not be too careless. Be careful not to fall over."

Prince Ning waved his hands: "Impossible, abuse me as you like!"

The third game begins and the IG players come on stage!

On the other side is KZ.

After the players from both teams came on the court, they shook hands and went to their respective positions to prepare.

Scout muttered, "Pawn didn't play. It seems his back injury hasn't healed yet."

Meiko was stunned: "Huh? Pawn?"

Scout continued: "Don't you know? Pawn went to Kingzone, but his old illness relapsed. Now that he's not playing, it means he's not cured."

Meiko suddenly felt embarrassed. After all, Pawn was a former member of EDG and Meiko had fought side by side with Pawn.

However, Scout has never been in the same team with Pawn, but he has mastered Pawn's current information.

After the BP is over, the game screen will appear.

Soon, KZ mid laner Naehyun couldn't hold on any longer.

Although I chose a Clockwork who is not weak in laning phase and only needs to develop.

But under the suppression of Rookie's Syndra, she couldn't take care of herself.

Finally, ten minutes into the game, a solo kill was achieved in the middle lane.

Doinb cheered, "Nice! Rookie! Rookie got a solo kill in the middle lane, our hero Rookie!"

"Ro~ooo~Kie!"

In the top lane, Theshy also has an advantage against Rascal, but he hasn't collapsed yet.

Meiko commented: "This Rascal seems to be a young man as well. I think he has good skills."

Su Mo responded: "Well, it's okay, and we're still growing." However, just when everyone thought that IG was going to win the game.

Suddenly, Ning Wang and his support delivered a big attack.

The C position was not nearby, so he took the initiative and was counterattacked by the opponent, instantly becoming three against five.

"Ah?" Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise, seeming to find it incredible.

But he immediately calmed down: "So it's Prince Ning, then it's okay."

KZ chose to attack the big dragon, and the three IG Cs went over to force a team fight.

In the end, although they exchanged three for four and earned a kill, the Baron was taken by KZ, so it was still a loss.

Meiko was amazed: "IG's teamfight ability is really strong. They can even win a teamfight like this."

Su Mo agreed: "This is indeed IG's strength. They like to operate. This is their style."

Relying on the Baron buff, KZ forced a team fight and pushed the tower. Ning Wang started a team fight again. Although his teammates were there this time, he was at a disadvantage after all. He didn't win and was pushed down in one wave.

Abu was stunned: "Ah? Lost already? What a pity, we were about to win."

Su Mo teased, "King Ning is like this. You never know when he will send you a big wave."

Soon, the IG players came back, and they all looked unhappy. Abu stepped forward and comforted them:

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Just treat it as an opportunity to understand their strength. This is a points race anyway."

"We will definitely advance in the end, it won't be a problem."

Theshy and Rookie didn't say anything. Jackeyloe seemed to want to say something but stopped himself and held his words back.

Only Baolan couldn't help but say, "Ning Mazi, what are you playing at? We were about to win, and you gave away the Baron?"

King Ning retorted: "You acted as if you hadn't sent it. Didn't you die too?"

The two began to fight fiercely, neither of them would give in to the other.

Other people on IG chose to remain silent, as if they had already gotten used to it.

The game continued, the next game was LPL playing wild card, and they won it easily.

In the next game, GRF will play against ES from the wildcard zone.

Players from both teams came on the field. Su Mo looked at the screen. The director gave Chovy a close-up. Many female fans were screaming at the scene.

The factory manager complained: "Don't they have a well-developed entertainment industry? Why doesn't this guy debut? He's so tall and so handsome."

Meiko said: "According to what you said, Mozi is also going to make his debut? But I feel that the money that Mozi will make after his debut will definitely not be as much as it is now."

"Right, Brother Mozi."

Su Mo smiled and said, "It's hard to say."

"Oh my god! Brother Mozi, are you serious?" Meiko was shocked.

The factory manager said: "Who told you to praise him for being handsome? Now he doesn't know who he is."

After the BP is over, the game screen will appear.

In this game, Chovy picked Irelia.

At level 6, I fought one against two opponents' mid and jungle, killed one and chased away another, leaving everyone dumbfounded!

Xiaotian exclaimed: "This guy's operation is quite good. He has not missed a single last hit in six minutes."

When everyone looked, it was true!
So the factory manager looked at Scout: "Can you do it? Scout? What do you think of his laning ability?"

Scout was very serious at this time: "Very strong, very strong."

Everyone in EDG was shocked again. They had never heard Scout evaluate a player like this before.

Since he said so, it proves that he highly approves of the other party.

Xiaotian looked at Doinb and said, "Your Irelia... never mind... let's not talk about it."

Doinb was upset now: "What's wrong with Irelia? I can play Irelia, who told you I can't play Irelia?"

"My sword girl is very strong. You will know it when I take her out next time."

GRF not only has the advantage in the middle lane, but also in the top and bottom lanes. The jungler even beat the opposing jungler with all kinds of counter-camping.

Ning Wang yawned: "What's the name of this jungler...Tarzan, if I choose a strong jungler with his style of play, I can destroy his jungle area."

Baolan sneered, "You should think about how to avoid giving yourself away. I'm really impressed. You're still bragging here."

Ning Wang was anxious: "I'm serious, this Tarzan is just a formula jungler, and he's very despicable. Do you believe me if I pick a spider to destroy his jungle?"

Soon, GRF won the game.

It’s LPL’s turn to play LCK, FPX vs. T1!

Abu greeted: "The next game is crucial. If FPX can beat SKT, we still have a chance to become the first."

"Although this does not affect promotion, it would be best if we could get it."

Abu looked at Doinb, and Doinb said, "It's okay, we FPX can win, right, Xiaotian, Xiaotian, if you beat the opponent's jungler, we will win."

Xiaotian touched his nose, seeming unsure.

Abu said: "It's almost time, FPX, get ready to play."

So Doinb called out: "Brothers, cheer for us, we will beat T1."

The FPX players left the lounge and came on stage.

Su Mo looked at the screen. After the two teams came on stage, the director gave a close-up of Faker. Many of Faker's fans at the scene shouted, "Faker! Faker!"

After the players from both teams come on stage, they enter the BP phase.

Faker decisively took out the Tsar.

Abu commented: "This version of Tsar is quite strong. It doesn't look good for Faker to get Tsar."

"Doinb chose Taliyah. The early game rhythm is crucial."

Doinb's rhythm was indeed good. First, Xiaotian came to the top lane to help and forced Faker to flash out. In this way, Tsar had to be careful. Rock Bird got the line control and started to set the rhythm.

FPX had established a considerable advantage in the beginning.

Just when most people thought that FPX could easily win this game.

Faker's Tsar was like a wall, blocking FPX's advancement.

The two sides started to fight fiercely. FPX took two big dragons but still failed to push T1.

On the contrary, T1 developed rapidly and gradually narrowed the economic gap.

Su Mo made a judgment: "T1's lineup is more powerful in teamfights. Although it is still at an economic disadvantage, overall, T1 has a greater chance of winning teamfights."

Sure enough, after FPX triggered another team fight, they were completely overwhelmed by Faker's Tsar's explosive output!
Meiko was amazed: "Is this Faker? Oh my god! He turned the whole game around by himself."

In the end, T1 fought back, ended the game and won the victory.

The factory manager felt something was wrong: "Hey, we were just saying that LCK seemed to be easy to beat, but now it feels wrong, we can't beat them no matter what."

Abu analyzed: "Are we too careless, or are we not aware of their style of play in advance?"

"Anyway, we need to review everything when we get home today. We can't be so relaxed."

Soon, everyone in FPX returned to the lounge, looking a little embarrassed.

Doinb said: "Something seems to have gone wrong... Now we can only be second place."

Abu comforted him: "It's okay, we just need to prepare for the knockout round, we have already advanced anyway."

"Now pack up and go back."

So everyone in LPL started packing up, leaving the lounge together, and preparing to go back.

However, when Su Mo walked out of the lounge, he met an acquaintance!
Faker! And his teammates!
"Player Faker, nice to see you again." Su Mo stepped forward and greeted him.

Faker shook hands with Su Mo and said:

"Well, nice to see you again, contestant Mo."

Doinb came up to him and said, "You guys have a good relationship, Mozi-ge, Faker!"

"Faker, I'm your fan, can you give me a photo? I'm really your fan."

Faker didn't refuse, and the two began to take photos together.

After taking the photo, Faker said, "We're leaving first, Mo."

Faker and his teammates left. (End of this chapter)
