LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

"What's the point of playing this game!" Wayward looked at Vi emerging from the river bushes on the screen, and Vayne activating her ultimate and radiating a silvery glow. He was filled with despair.

"Just cross over." Su Mo's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth.

"Okay, bro!" Jiejie replied excitedly.

Without hesitation, Vi used her ultimate ability, Skybreaker, to lock onto Ornn, who was cowering under the tower and trembling in fear.

Wayward used W to counteract the control, but was immediately controlled by Vi's Q.

"Snapped!"

Su Mo's Vayne rolled into the fray, using the invisibility effect of her ultimate to adjust her position, and her crossbow bolts accurately struck Ornn.

Knock the enemy into the ground, then follow up with E [Demon Judgment] to pin them to the wall!
Chain control!

Ornn couldn't even use Flash, and spent the last few seconds of his life in the air and against the wall.

Ornn fell again.

0-2.

"This is too cruel..." PDD said, watching the scene. "This isn't laning, it's a crime! Wayward is only level 5, he doesn't even have his ultimate, and he's tower-diving and losing the minion wave. This top lane is completely dominating!"

Miller exclaimed, "Jiejie's move was so brilliant! He knew Ornn was most vulnerable at that moment. And look, after getting the kill, Su Mo didn't even rush to push the tower; instead... he went to disconnect the lane again!"

On the screen, after killing someone, Su Mo stood directly between the first and second towers.

The next wave of minions had barely spawned when Vayne took them down.

This means that even if Wayward is resurrected, he will still face the awkward situation of having no soldiers to eat.

"This...this is inhuman!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed. "Is this some kind of internet addiction treatment for Wayward?"

With Jiejie's help, Su Mo pushed down the top lane tower in ten minutes and went back to base to buy his first completed item - [Blade of the Ruined King].

With a broken Vayne, fighting a poorly developed Ornn is incredibly easy.

At this moment, the canyon had completely become Su Mo's hunting ground.

At twelve minutes, Su Mo switched the lane to the bottom lane and sent the duo to the mid lane.

Wayward was forced to go to the bottom lane to withstand the pressure.

However, Su Mo did not stay online obediently.

After pushing the lane, he disappeared into the fog of war in the jungle.

At this moment, Tian's monkeys are fighting the swamp frog.

Suddenly, a giant arrow shot out from the darkness!
"Snapped!"

The monkey was nailed directly to the wall next to the swamp frog!
Tian was so startled that he almost flung the mouse away.

Su Mo's Vayne appeared like a ghost, activated her ultimate, and used her Q skill to roll and become invisible.

A, A, E, A!

The Ruined King's breath slowed him down, and combined with Vayne's passive movement speed during chases, Tian's Monkey King couldn't move at all.

The Real and Fake Monkey King?

Su Mo completely ignored the fake monkey and, relying on his already honed keen eyes, directly tracked down the real one.

The three rings exploded! True damage numbers appeared in red!
Tian used Flash to escape over the wall.

Su Mo flashed to catch up and finished off the enemy with a final basic attack.

"EDG Mo has killed TES Tian!"

"The jungle has been completely invaded!" Guan Zeyuan shouted. "That's the terror of top lane Vayne! When she has an advantage, the enemy jungle is her backyard! Tian is having a tough time this game too. His jungle monsters are stolen, and he's getting killed! The key is that Vayne is right behind Vi, and if they try to fight back, they can't win."

In the next few minutes, the entire TES team was gripped by panic.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spine whenever Vayne's location wasn't visible on the map.

JackeyLove's Sivir was farming in the mid lane when she suddenly saw Su Mo flank out from behind the F6 camp.

Activate R [Ultimate Moment]!
The silver cloak fluttered in the wind.

JackeyLove reacted quickly, activating his ultimate to accelerate and using Karma's RE shield to try and create distance.

But Su Mo started sprinting!

Vayne's passive speed boost towards enemy champions, combined with Ghost, makes her as fast as a silver lightning bolt!

Q roll to dodge Ahri's E charm!
Another small movement and you've dodged Karma's Q!

It's aimed directly at JackeyLove!

"There's no way to escape! There's absolutely no way to escape!" PDD roared. "This Vayne is like a god of war! She's chasing down three TES players all by herself!"

Rushing into the crowd, Su Mo's goal was extremely clear.

Use A on Ahri and steal movement speed using Blade of the Ruined King.

Then switch targets to Sivir.

On the other side, Wei also charged out, cooperating with Su Mo to deal damage.

Mark's Karma wanted to apply Exhaust, but Su Mo used Q to become invisible, causing Karma to lose her target.

When her figure reappeared, Sivir was already lying on the ground.

After killing the AD carry, Su Mo did not retreat, but instead aimed his crossbow at Knight's Ahri.

Knight uses his ultimate ability to reposition.

Su Mo finally unleashed his E skill, which he had been holding back.

Predict Ahri's R landing point and pin her to the wall!
Vi seized the opportunity to use Q-Flash followed by R, a chain of control.

Su Mo took the opportunity to collect the heads.

"Double Kill!"

Double kill!

"They're insane! They're going on a killing spree!" Miller's voice was hoarse. "This is Mozi's Vayne! This is the dominance of the LPL's number one top laner! TES can't play this game anymore!"

Twenty minutes later, the Baron Nashor spawned.

Su Mo's equipment already includes Blade of the Ruined King, Guinsoo's Rageblade, and Phantom Dancer.

With these three items in hand, not to mention Ornn, even turrets are like paper in front of him.

TES knew they couldn't delay any longer, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and force a team fight at the Baron pit.

"Wayward, go find an opportunity to engage Vayne! If we can control him for even a second, we can kill him instantly!" JackeyLove commanded through gritted teeth.

"I...I'll give it a try." Wayward looked at his shabby outfit of sun-splatter armor and cloth boots, feeling completely uncertain.

A team fight is about to break out.

Wayward's Ornn is calling for sheep in the distance!

"Sheep, come!"

The giant fire goat charged towards the EDG crowd.

However, Su Mo did not stand with his teammates.

He was like a lone assassin, cutting in from the shadows on the flank.

Just as Ornn unleashed his second R attack, Su Mo moved.

Q skill rolls to the side and forward, dodging the sheep's knock-up hitbox at the maximum distance!
Immediately afterwards, R was activated!
Invisible!

He ignored Ornn and the monkey in the front row and charged straight to the back row!
"I want to hunt down those who have fallen into darkness."

Su Mo's figure constantly switched between being invisible and visible, and each time he appeared, it was accompanied by the firing of a deadly crossbow bolt.

JackeyLove had barely seen where the person was when he was attacked and lost half his health.

"Save AD! Save AD!" Mark shouted.

But Su Mo's movements were too unpredictable.

He was like dancing on the edge of a knife, weaving through a hail of bullets, yet remaining unscathed.

A, Q, and E push away the monkeys that try to get up and take control.

A, A, A again!

JackeyLove falls to the ground!

Knight tried to charm with his E, but Su Mo didn't even use Flash. He made a right-angle move and dodged it perfectly.

Then, three arrows finished off the low-health Ahri. "Triple Kill!"

At this point, Ornn and Wukong on the main battlefield had been mostly dealt with by the rest of EDG.

Only Wayward's Ornn remained, standing there in despair.

Su Mo turned his head and looked at his old friend, whom he had tormented for the entire game.

No mercy at all.

The crossbow bolts were fired mercilessly.

The deafening explosion of the three rings of true damage became the final, resounding sound of the match.

"Quadra Kill!"

Four kills!

If it weren't for Jiejie's quick reflexes, who just stole the monkey's kill with a single punch, this would have been a pentakill!

"Oh my god! Bro! My hand slipped!" Jiejie yelled in the voice chat.

Su Mo chuckled lightly: "It's alright, let's go straight to the push house."

At 23 minutes, the TES base crystal exploded.

In the first game, EDG won with overwhelming force.

Su Mo's Vayne score was 11-0-4, an amazing performance!
……

During the brief halftime break, the EDG backstage lounge was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Jiejie was squatting obsequiously next to Su Mo's gaming chair, eagerly massaging his legs: "Brother Mo, is the pressure okay? That last wave really wasn't intentional. My monkey hit him with a critical hit, it was purely accidental! Next time, next time even if I die, the pentakill is yours!"

Su Mo leaned back in his chair: "Alright, stop pretending. It's not like we've never gotten a pentakill before, is it really necessary? Besides, I think you're doing this on purpose."

"No way!" Jiejie chuckled and stood up. "That's to cheer for your amazing performance."

At this moment, the factory manager walked over with his laptop, a broad smile on his face, and said, "Brother Mozi really confused TES. But they'll definitely target the top lane in the next game's draft. Brother Mozi, what's the plan for the next game? Should we give you another counter pick?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze passing over Jiejie and landing on Holy Gun Bro behind him.

"No thanks." Su Mo stretched. "I played really hard last game, and my hands are a little sore. Let Lao Li play next time."

Saint Gun, who was watching the show, suddenly choked: "Cough cough! You just beat Wayward so badly, if I go up there now, I'll be the one taking the fall! The other side will definitely take all the blame on me!"

Su Mo stood up, patted Saint Gun on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Old Li, this is where you went wrong. Look at Wayward, he was almost driven to despair after I beat him in the first game. Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future. I won't play this game, that's called 'humanitarian substitution'. Go and play some melee with him, let him regain some confidence in the game."

"What the hell is this humanitarianism!" Holy Gun Bro's lips twitched. "You're just lazy! You just want to slack off!"

Despite complaining, Flandre obediently put down the banana and prepared to go on stage.

He also knew that maintaining his form was equally important as a rotation top laner.

He also understood that Su Mo wasn't just thinking about slacking off, but rather wanted to give him a chance to come on as a substitute.

Everyone agreed, and the factory manager waved his hand, "Alright, then Holy Gun Bro will go. Let's play it safe this round and not give him any chances."

Su Mo then comfortably slumped back onto the sofa, took out his phone, and opened Meituan Waimai: "You guys go ahead and make the call, I'll watch for a bit."

……

In the commentary booth, when they received the notification of EDG's personnel rotation, the three commentators exchanged glances.

"Friends, we just received news," Guan Zeyuan said to the camera. "After EDG just won such a resounding victory, they chose to replace Mozi with Flandre at this time."

PDD stroked his chin and let out his signature laugh: "Hehe, this time, this time it's EDG's mercy. I guess they saw Wayward had a terrible game last time, so Mozi decided to let him off the hook. After all, top lane Vayne is the kind of champion that can really make someone retire if they get a couple of games with her."

Miller joked, "Wayward will probably cry tears of joy when he hears this news. Finally, he doesn't have to face that terrifying Vayne anymore. But Flandre isn't someone to mess with either; he's a seasoned pro."

The comments section was filled with hilarious antics:
[Mozi: I'm tired. Carry me away and bring up someone who can take a beating.]

[Wayward: It's dawn! Anyone will do, as long as it's not Su Mo!]

Is this EDG's Versailles? Carrying every game is too tiring, so they're bringing in someone else to just coast along?

[Holy Gun: Did I come here just to get the first win bonus?]

I knew it! Mozi always wants to slack off.

……

The second game begins.

When Wayward saw that the opponent's ID had changed to Flandre, he did indeed breathe a sigh of relief. The oppressive feeling that had been nagging at him vanished almost entirely in an instant.

In this game, Wayward seemed to be venting his anger from the previous game by locking in Gnar.

Meanwhile, Flandre locked in Sejuani.

"As expected, Flandre is a standard blue-collar player right from the start," Guan Zeyuan laughed. "This top lane should be much more peaceful."

The match unfolded as expected. Flandre didn't try to out-mechanically compete with Gnar, starting with a Doran's Shield and focusing on a safe approach.

Although Wayward wanted to be fierce, Pig Girl was tough and had passive pig skin, so he couldn't crush her at all.

Instead, EDG's bot lane duo Viper and Meiko stepped up.

Since Jiejie no longer needed to act as a bodyguard in the top lane, he stayed in the bottom lane this game.

Ten minutes later, a 3v3 team fight broke out in the bottom lane.

Viper's Aphelios got a double kill and took off immediately.

Su Mo sat in the lounge, drinking water while watching the match on the screen, occasionally offering a comment:

"Hey, Old Li's skin is peeling off pretty fast this time."

"Jiejie would have looked even cooler if his punch had been slightly off-center."

"Tsk tsk, Viper's movement is a feast for the eyes."

He looked exactly like a retired old man leisurely watching a chess game in the park.

Although Wayward played very hard this game, and even used a good ultimate in a team fight.

However, TES's lineup appeared too fragile against a fully equipped Aphelios.

In 32 minutes, EDG, with its more solid operations and explosive output from its two carries, destroyed TES's base.

2-0! EDG takes the match point!

……

By the third game, TES was on the verge of elimination.

Although Wayward's mentality has improved somewhat, he seems powerless against EDG's impenetrable defense and counterattacks.

In this game, TES picked a desperate combination of Draven and Nautilus, attempting to dominate the bottom lane in the early game.

However, Flandre pulled out his signature move this time – Kennen.

Although he was targeted and killed once in the early game, Flandre showed the composure of a veteran and did not fall behind in last-hitting.

At 28 minutes, a team fight broke out at the dragon pit.

TES players were positioned slightly too close together, trying to quickly eliminate Viper.

Just then, Flandre, who had been quietly pushing lanes, suddenly used Teleport to flank from behind.

"Thunderbolt!!" Miller shouted.

Flandre's Kennen activated his E skill for speed, flashed in with Hextech Protobelt, and then unleashed his ultimate, Thunder Prison, instantly covering TES's backline!
Crackling!

A terrifying lightning storm instantly melted JackeyLove's Draven and Knight's Taliyah.

"Flandre! This is the value of a veteran!" PDD slammed his fist on the table excitedly. "He usually keeps a low profile, but he delivers the decisive blow at crucial moments! This thunderous attack has completely extinguished TES's hopes!"

With both carries falling to the ground, TES's formation instantly collapsed.

EDG players swarmed in and won a perfect team fight with a 0-for-4 exchange.

The rest of the story was predictable.

With the Baron buff, EDG pushed into TES's high ground with unstoppable momentum.

"Congratulations to EDG!" Guan Zeyuan's voice echoed throughout the stadium. "They swept TES 3-0, winning this upper bracket final! They've also secured their spot in the S12 World Championship!"

In the video, Flandre takes off his headphones and laughs like a 200-pound child.

At this moment, the director wisely switched the camera to the backstage area.

Su Mo stood up from the sofa, stretched, and straightened his team uniform, as if he had just woken up. (End of Chapter)
