LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Entering the game screen, both sides in the middle lane are developing peacefully, although FPX's jungler and support both want to help GANK the middle lane.

But the hero Card's ability to withstand pressure is too strong. With his Q skill at a super long distance, FPX can't find any flaws at all.

In this way, the card was upgraded to level six very smoothly.

Su Mo commented: "Player Jin can't put much pressure on Faker in the laning phase, which is a big problem. Now that Card is level 6, it feels like the other players in FPX are going to suffer."

Meiko continued: "From this perspective, Faker really restrains Doinb."

Faker did not rush to use his ultimate to support, but chose to keep it as a deterrent.

Sure enough, since his ultimate skill was still in his hand, Xiaotian didn’t dare to GANK casually.

Crisp in the bottom lane didn't dare to attack first.

On the contrary, Clid is very brave. He knows that Card can provide support if something goes wrong.

In the first fifteen minutes, Card did not use any of his ultimate skills, and T1's bottom lane had begun to accumulate advantages.

Just when everyone didn't know when Faker would use his ultimate, Faker suddenly used his ultimate to fly to the bottom lane, helping the bottom lane to cross the tower and take down the defensive tower in the process.

The economic gap widened suddenly.

The factory manager shook his head: "This time he should have gone too far. Faker was playing a psychological game with the entire FPX team, and he won."

The game entered a period of slow death, and T1 started to operate, making full use of the Card's solo ability, constantly eroding FPX's jungle and defensive towers, and finally taking down the Baron in the final wave, ending the game.

The score was two to zero.

The director gave Doinb a close-up, and at this moment, Doinb, who was always optimistic, became extremely nervous.

Su Mo analyzed: "It feels like FPX has an easy time against other teams, but it's hard to beat T1. I can only say that they were just unlucky."

Meiko responded: "It's impossible to come back from 1- down to -. Does that mean our opponent in the finals will be T?"

In the third game, FPX suddenly changed its tactics. The whole team played around the top lane. The jungler and support came to the top lane at level 3 to cause trouble and kill Khan.

By breaking through the top lane and establishing an advantage, FPX actually won this game.

The score was two to one.

However, in the fourth game, FPX had used up all the tactics they should have used and fell into T1's rhythm again. The game dragged on for more than 1 minutes, and they failed to win the team fight and were taken down by T in one wave.

In the end, T1 defeated FPX - and entered the finals!

Abu said: "It seems that T1 is really good at defeating four teams in the playoffs. We must be careful. Now LPL can only rely on us."

"We've watched the game. If you have anything to say, you can say it and we can discuss it together."

The factory manager spoke first: "I feel that T1 is still Faker's team. As long as we hold him down, it's not that difficult to beat him."

Jiejie said: "Clid's early-game rhythm ability is indeed very strong, which can help T1 get through the early stage smoothly and even gain a lot of advantages."

Iboy spoke up: "I think their bottom lane is just one word, stable. It's hard to break through their bottom lane unless you keep 4-on-2 tower diving."

Meiko agreed: "Their bottom lane is indeed quite stable. Teddy was previously on the Corki team. Because he hardly played in a favorable game, he always played against the wind, so he was trained."

Su Mo smiled and said, "It seems that we haven't played enough games against opponents. We haven't developed the ability to withstand pressure. We need to practice more in this area in the future."

Iboy joked: "There is nothing we can do. They are too strong. We have no chance to win against the odds."

After some discussion, the EDG members started practicing.

At this time, Su Mo suggested: "Can we invite FPX to play a training game? Anyway, they haven't gone back yet, and they don't have anything else to do now."

"They just finished playing against T1. They should know T1 very well now."

Abu held his chin in thought, "But... they just lost the game, and now they are asked to play a training match... Let me ask."

Abu took out his cell phone and called the coach of FPX. He first comforted him and then stated his purpose.

"They agreed to come over when they come back." Abu informed the EDG team.

A moment later, footsteps were heard at the door, and then the FPX team walked in.

At this time, everyone in FPX looked quite introverted, and even seemed to have cried.

Abu stepped forward to comfort him, "T1 is still very strong. I think you played well. The gap is not big. There was a little accident. Otherwise, there is still a chance..."

After some consolation, the mentality of FPX members eased a lot.

The two teams began to train. FPX chose to imitate T1's BP and playing style, while EDG came down to find a way to target them.

The next day, all the EDG players came to the competition venue, but not to play the game, but to watch the final promotional video.

There were not many people in the venue at this time, only a small number of staff, and it seemed a bit deserted.

After passing through the passage, the EDG team saw the competition stage, which was crowded with people.

The entire T1 team was already waiting on the stage, all wearing T1 uniforms.

The EDG members walked over to the other side of the stage.

There were many staff members setting up the scene nearby, and Su Mo also saw many heroes' weapons and armor props used to decorate the scene.

Su Mo glanced towards T1, and Faker was also looking over here, and the two greeted each other with their eyes.

Meiko muttered, "Have you guys decided what to say? Can't it be too radical?"

Su Mo replied: "As long as it's not a direct insult, it should be fine. The audience likes to watch the more radical ones."

Meiko nodded. "That's true. The main reason is that I'm not familiar with the opponent's support. I don't know him. I've never dealt with him before. Besides, he's relatively young."

Su Mo glanced at T1. A thin, honest-looking man was standing at the back without saying a word. This man was T1's starting support, Effort.

The factory manager complained: "Are you starting to be soft-hearted now? When you see the opponent is at a disadvantage during the game, are you going to give them one?"

After a while, the scene was set, and the director shouted from below with a megaphone:

"Are you all ready? Are all the people here? It's time to start."

The shooting of the promotional video began. According to the director's request, on the T1 side, Faker first put on the props of Jie. Of course, he didn't need to change the whole body, only the head and upper body needed to be changed.

Then, according to the poses in front of the camera, Zed represents Faker in S3.

Immediately afterwards, Faker changed into Ryze's items. Ryze represents the Faker of S5.

Finally, there is Tsar, who represents Faker in S6.

From Su Mo's perspective, this kind of shooting is quite funny and looks a bit embarrassing, but after adding various special effects in post-production, it is no longer embarrassing, but very cool.

After Faker finished filming, it was Su Mo's turn.

Su Mo was called up by the director, and he became the representative figure of EDG.

First change to Shen's props, which represents Su Mo in S7.

Then he changed into Akali's props, representing Su Mo of S8.

Now it is S9. So far, there have been a total of 8 S champions, EDG and T1 account for five!
This time, the promotional video highlights the collision between the two dynasties.

Will SKT's former dynasty come back, or will EDG continue its own dynasty? Win this championship and surpass it?

After Su Mo finished filming, the director called out, "Now, EDG's Mo and T1's Faker, the two of you stand face to face. Yes, like this. Pay attention to your eyes. Show some murderous intent."

Su Mo and Faker released their murderous aura as requested by the director!
The photographer collected footage from all angles.

The director continued, "Then everyone else, come up one by one in order, and pay attention to the positioning..." Under the director's arrangement, the EDG and T1 players walked behind Su Mo and Faker one by one.

After the scene of the two teams competing against each other was shot, we started collecting materials one team at a time.

The last part is the trash talk session, where the two teams separate and stand on their own sides.

The staff brought two chairs over and placed them between the two teams.

The director called out, "First, the top laners, EDG's Ray and T1's Khan."

Ray and Khan walked forward and sat facing each other.

"Let's start. Khan goes first."

So Khan started to taunt: "Call your adults out, I don't bully children."

As soon as Khan opened his mouth, he made the other players on both sides laugh.

Meiko teased: "You know what, Khan looks so honest, but it turns out she is a sharp-tongued woman."

Ray's response was also very strong: "I was looking forward to playing against Khan at MSI, but I didn't expect them to lose to G2. I was very disappointed with Khan's performance."

Meiko laughed and said, “I remember when T1 lost to G2, they were scolded badly. This is just digging into the wound.”

Khan responded: “So let the adults speak up. Without Mo, you can’t even go to MSI.”

Ray was not to be outdone: "Without Faker, you wouldn't even make it to the playoffs."

Khan was speechless. In fact, Faker had been a substitute before. Last year and this year, Faker had guarded the water dispenser.

The result was that T1's performance plummeted, and in the end they had to bring Faker out.

Seeing Khan was silent, the director called out, "Switch the junglers, Jiejie and Clid."

Jiejie and Clid walked over and sat down facing each other.

Clid spoke first: "You are very lucky. You have such great teammates who can lead you to the finals when you just started playing professionally."

"But it ends here, because you met us, T1, and your teammates also lost the championship because of your lack of strength."

Jiejie responded: "I think Clid is the lucky one. He played in LPL for so long without any results. He won the league championship after joining T1."

"But my luck ends here."

Clid continued: "I hope that after you lose the game, you won't cry and ask others to come up and help you fight."

Jiejie responded: "Imagining how miserable your teammates will be before the game even starts is a mental illness."

Meiko exclaimed: "Xiaojie is too talkative, he beat the opponent to death."

Su Mo smiled and said, "That's what young people are like. They are full of youthful vigor."

Clid was speechless, so the director called out, "Mid lane, Scout from EDG, and Faker from T1."

Scout and Faker walked up and sat facing each other.

Meiko muttered, "It feels like it will be more relaxed. After all, the two of them know each other and have a good relationship."

Faker spoke first: "Scout is a very good mid laner. I am glad that he can achieve such good results."

"But we, T1, must win this championship, so I hope he can be mentally prepared and accept failure."

Faker's expression was very confident and his eyes were firm, as if he was not talking trash, but expressing his true feelings.

Scout said: "Faker has more experience than me in accepting failure, so I am not worried about this issue."

"Fuck!" Meiko was shocked. He didn't expect Scout to be so sharp-tongued.

The factory manager was also amazed: "It feels like he is trying to hint at S7. This kid is hitting the snake at its weakest point."

Faker didn't react and continued, "I feel relieved to see that you are so good at dealing with pressure."

Scout said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter. Even if I surpass Faker in the end, I am willing to continue to be friends with Faker."

Su Mo understood: "It seems that it is because of the good relationship that they can let go."

On the T1 side, the remaining few people were dumbfounded. Scout's behavior was completely "treasonous".

If it was in LCK, the fans would probably be furious about the lack of respect for seniors.

The director called out, "The next position is ADC, Iboy from EDG and Teddy from T1."

So Iboy and Teddy walked forward and sat facing each other.

Teddy said: "I have watched many EDG games, and the one that impressed me the most was their bottom lane."

"I used to think that the bottom lane was a very crucial position, but now I have doubts about this conclusion. The bottom lane can easily win."

Iboy responded: "I agree with you. For example, in the match between T1 and FPX, even if the bottom lane is cancelled, the final result will be the same."

Teddy responded: "So Iboy admits that he won the championship by doing nothing?"

Iboy said: "Before answering this question, I would like to ask you, what kind of champion are you?"

"Hahaha...a killer kill!" Meiko laughed.

Sure enough, after Iboy said this, Teddy was speechless. He doesn’t have a championship!

It is meaningless for people who don’t have a championship to discuss whether the other team won the championship easily or not.

The director called out, "Support players, Meiko and Effort."
Seeing that Meiko was about to go up, everyone in EDG was ready.

Judging from past history, Meiko doesn’t go up to people to argue, but to communicate with them.

Effort looks honest and doesn't seem like someone who can be sarcastic.

Effort spoke first: "Meiko is a support player that I respect very much. I often watch his games and learn from him..."

As expected, just as everyone in EDG thought, Effort is also a nice guy, and Meiko's answer was even more outrageous: "I see Effort's progress, and I hope you can continue to work hard and surpass yourself."

The factory manager complained: "Are these two people flirting here?"

"puff……"

The EDG members couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At this time, the director called out, "Okay, now let's change to EDG's Mo and T1's Faker."

Su Mo and Faker walked out from their respective queues and sat down.

The director continued, "Please evaluate each other and express your determination to win this final."

"Faker, please go first."

So Faker said: "I'm very happy to meet Mo in the finals. It's a pity that I missed MSI."

Su Mo responded: "Me too, there are no troublemakers this time, so we can communicate as much as we want."

Su Mo and Faker were both very confident. They stared at each other, released their aura, and put pressure on each other.

Faker continued: "I have played against many players who are called geniuses, and I have to say that Mo is the most special one among them, whether it is his game style or his ideas."

"This is an opportunity for me to surpass myself and bring the championship trophy back to LCK." (End of this chapter)
