LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

After being thoroughly beaten by Tryndamere in the first game, Zeus is now deeply wary of every move Su Mo makes.

"Why isn't he coming out to last-hit minions?" Zeus looked at the empty minion wave and felt a little uneasy.

Just as he was wondering, a purplish-black spike suddenly shot out from the bushes, accurately piercing through three melee soldiers and scraping against the stone golem at the same time!
Q skill: Hatred Spike!
Immediately afterwards, the widow's figure emerged from the bushes. Instead of retreating, she walked directly towards the stone golem and unleashed another Q skill!
"Snapped!"

The spikes, inflicting magical damage, not only shattered the Golem's passive shield but also eliminated the low-health melee minions.

Zeus reacted extremely quickly, throwing his Q skill [Earthquake Shard] at Evelynn and stealing her movement speed.

But Su Mo didn't care about the small amount of health he lost. He used the extremely short cooldown of his Q skill to dodge the minions' aggro while constantly using spikes to whittle down the golem's health.

"Brother Mozi is playing Widowmaker so aggressively!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in surprise. "He crossed the minion wave at level one to trade blows, and his Q skill accuracy is too high. He can almost always hit Zeus while clearing the wave!"

"Widowmaker's Q skill has a shorter cooldown when used on minions, and Mozi is taking advantage of this to push the lane while putting pressure on the enemy," Miller analyzed. "However, his mana consumption is also very fast. Is this playstyle really okay?"

At 2 minutes and 15 seconds, both sides reached the second level.

Su Mo instantly upgraded his W skill, [Lure].

Instead of immediately releasing the Stone Golem, he pushed the minion wave across the river and then, controlling Evelynn, swaggered into T1's red side top jungle!

"Brother Mozi has entered the jungle?! What is he planning to do?!" Ji De exclaimed.

At this moment, Oner had just finished clearing the red buff and was preparing to fight the stone golem.

Just as he reached the front of the Stone Golem camp, a pink heart-shaped mark suddenly appeared above his head!

"Widowmaker's W! He's in the jungle!" Oner exclaimed in shock, immediately calling out to mid and top laners in voice chat, "Sang-hyeok, Zeus, gank him!"

Zeus's Malphite immediately abandoned the minion wave under the tower and headed towards the jungle. Faker's Master Yi also began moving towards the top side of the map.

The three T1 players instantly formed an encirclement, intending to kill the reckless widow in the jungle!

However, when Oner's prince cautiously entered the bushes, preparing to use his EQ combo to knock up Widowmaker...

There was no one in the bushes.

"Where is he?!" Oner was stunned.

Just then, a scream came from the middle lane.

"EDG.XiaoYue has killed T1.Faker!"

"Solo kill!! Xiao Yue's Syndra solo killed Faker's Master Yi in the mid lane!!"

In the commentary booth, the three commentators jumped up excitedly.

"My God! What kind of feint is this?!" Guan Zeyuan slammed his fist on the table. "Mozi went into the jungle and used his W, drawing all of T1's top and jungle attention away. Even Faker abandoned the mid lane to gank! But Evelynn wasn't even in the jungle. She used her W and immediately recalled from the Baron pit! And while Faker was roaming the lane and pushing into the tower, Xiaoyue unleashed a burst combo and tower-dived to kill Master Yi!!"

"Absolutely amazing! Mozi not only crushed T1 in terms of skill, but also completely dominated them in psychological warfare!" Miller exclaimed in admiration.

The live stream chat exploded instantly:

[Regarding the incident where I used my W skill and then recalled to base, only to be ambushed by three enemies who couldn't catch me]

[Faker: I'm abandoning my minion wave to gank you, where are you?]

[Mozi's Widowmaker play is really impressive; he's already got the enemy team on edge before even reaching level six.]

[Xiao Yue was very decisive this time, seizing on Faker's roaming mistake and diving the tower directly.]

The atmosphere in T1's booth plummeted to freezing point once again.

"Damn it, I was too hasty." Faker looked at the black and white screen and took a deep breath.

Oner gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with rage: "That widow is disgusting, I'm going to kill her later!"

3 minutes 15 seconds.

Su Mo emerged from the spring, his equipment inventory now containing a [Amplification Tome] and a pair of [Speed ​​Boots].

He used Teleport to return to the top lane and continued to use his Q skill to push the lane and harass the enemy.

Meanwhile, Oner had already cleared the upper jungle and reached level three. Instead of taking the blue buff in the lower jungle, he went straight to the top lane river bush.

"Zeus, get ready, I'm coming." Oner stared intently at the alluring figure on the screen.

Zeus's Malphite finally got his chance. Without hesitation, he activated his W [Savage Strike], slowed Evelynn with his Q skill, and then immediately used Flash, intending to use his E skill [Earthquake] to hit Evelynn and kill her with the help of Jarvan IV!

"T1 made their move! The Prince ganked top at level three! The Malphite immediately used Flash to lock them down!" Remember shouted.

Despite the sudden attack from the two, Su Mo's eyes remained calm.

He didn't use Flash, but simply clicked the mouse.

"Ah~"

A seductive moan escaped her lips.

Widowmaker's passive ability, Shadow Steps, has been triggered!
A second before the Malphite's E skill landed, Evelynn's figure turned into a cloud of purple smoke and disappeared from the spot!
"He's gone invisible?! Brother Mozi is already at level six?!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed.

"Wait a minute! He's not level six yet!" Miller spotted the Widowmaker's experience bar. "He took advantage of the Widowmaker's passive ability to enter camouflage after disengaging from combat! He used the bushes to cut off her line of sight and escaped combat!"

Oner's Prince's EQ combo missed, and he could only watch helplessly as the Widow disappeared from sight.

"Ward! Ward quickly!" Oner anxiously placed a ward in the river bushes.

His true eyes lit up, but he found no trace of the widow.

Because Su Mo didn't go towards the river at all, he used the speed boost from his stealth state to go directly along the wall of the top lane and into the back of T1's top tower!
"He's disconnecting!! Mozi is cutting off the minion wave behind T1's tower!!"

When the camera cut to the back of the T1 tower, the entire audience gasped.

The alluring widow was standing outside the turret's attack range, leisurely clearing the newly spawned minion wave with her Q skill.

Meanwhile, Zeus and Oner were still foolishly standing in the riverbed grass, searching for the widow's whereabouts.

"That's incredibly audacious!" Ji De couldn't help but exclaim. "To cut off the lane without even reaching level six, they completely disregarded the top and jungle of Tier 1!"

"But if he does that, Zeus's Malphite will be completely destroyed!" Miller analyzed. "When the minion wave pushes into the tower, Malphite not only won't get any experience, but he'll also be harassed by the tower. If the Prince goes after Evelynn, then Chen's Sejuani will completely dominate the bottom jungle."

T1's team voice chat fell into a deathly silence.

Oner glanced at the widow behind the tower and gritted his teeth: "I'll go get her!"

"Don't go!" Faker immediately stopped him. "The bottom half of the jungle is completely dark, Sejuani is definitely counter-jungling you. If you go after Evelynn, Zeus's minion wave will be completely exposed. Let him push, you hurry to the bottom half of the jungle to stop the damage."

Oner sighed helplessly and could only turn and walk towards the lower half of the bracket.

Zeus's Malphite could only miserably farm the minions under the tower, which were being whittled down by Evelynn's Q skill, while also having to endure Evelynn's occasional Q skill poke damage.

5 minutes 00 seconds.

Achen's Sejuani easily secured the first dragon, the Hextech Dragon, while also stealing Oner's Blue Buff and Gromp.

Meanwhile, Su Mo, who was on the top lane, finally pressed the B key to recall after whittling down T1's top tower to half its health.

"In the first five minutes, Mozi's Widowmaker completely dominated T1's top and jungle." Guan Zeyuan looked at the data panel. "Although there were no kills, EDG has already gained an absolute advantage in terms of overall rhythm and economy." 6 minutes and 10 seconds.

Su Mo's widow was the first to reach level six!

Unlock the ultimate skill [Final Comfort]!
At the same time, the passive skill [Demon Disguise] is upgraded to permanent invisibility!

"It's here! The horror game for widows is officially starting!" Remember shouted excitedly.

As the Widow's figure faded on the screen and finally disappeared completely, the entire Summoner's Rift seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shadow.

For the next five minutes, T1 truly experienced what it meant to feel "like a thorn in one's back".

Zeus's Malphite dared not leave the tower, Oner's Jarvan IV trudged cautiously through the jungle, and even Gumayusi and Keria in the bot lane retreated back to their towers, fearing that the purple figure might suddenly appear behind them.

8 minutes 00 seconds.

The first Rift Herald spawns in the river.

T1 knew they couldn't let EDG extend their lead any further, so the five of them grouped up and prepared to engage in a team fight at the Rift Herald pit.

"We have to engage in this team fight. Jarvan IV and Malphite's ultimates are all available. As long as we can reach EDG's backline, we can win!" Faker commanded in the voice chat.

The four members of EDG also gathered in the river.

"Brother Mo, they're grouped up in the Vanguard Pit. Should we attack?" Ah Chen asked.

"Fight." Su Mo's calm voice rang out in the voice chat. "You guys engage in a direct confrontation, I'll find an opportunity."

At this moment, Su Mo was not near the Vanguard Pit, but was hiding in the F6 bushes of T1.

He quietly observed T1's formation, like a patient hunter waiting for his prey to reveal a weakness.

8 minutes 20 seconds.

Oner's Prince finally couldn't hold back any longer. He used his EQ combo to knock Sejuani, who was struggling, and then used his ultimate, Cataclysm, to trap Sejuani and Rakan!

"T1 has initiated a team fight! Prince's ultimate has trapped EDG's jungler and support!" Guan Zeyuan shouted.

Zeus's Malphite didn't hesitate to use Flash, and his ultimate [Unstoppable Force] slammed into Xayah and Syndra who were standing behind him!

"The Stone Golem's ultimate attack hit!! It knocked Jack and Xiao Yue away!!"

Faker's Master Yi activated his ultimate, Highlander, transforming into a blur as he charged straight into EDG's backline, aiming to wipe them out!

T1's aggressive charge unleashed terrifying power. EDG's formation was instantly torn apart, and their backline was in grave danger.

"EDG is in danger! T1's attack is too fierce!" Miller said anxiously.

But at that moment, a pink heart-shaped mark suddenly lit up behind T1!

This mark appeared above Kai'Sa's head as she prepared to follow up with her attacks!
"The widow's W! The widow is behind!!"

Gumayusi was shocked and immediately used his E skill, [Extreme Overload], to try to become invisible and create distance.

But the instant he went invisible, a purplish-black spike shot out from the void and hit Kai'Sa precisely!
Q skill: Hatred Spike!
Immediately afterwards, Widowmaker appeared behind Kai'Sa and used her E skill [Whiplash] to strike Kai'Sa, breaking the charm effect of her W and keeping Kai'Sa permanently charmed in place!
"Kill her instantly!"

Without any hesitation, Su Mo unleashed his ultimate move, [Final Comfort]!
The widow transformed into an untargetable demon form, leaping backward and inflicting devastating magical damage on a large area in front of her!

"Wow—"

A purple crack ran across the ground.

Kai'Sa, at full health, was instantly melted by this burst of damage before she even had a chance to use her ultimate!
"EDG.Mo has killed T1.Gumayusi!"

"Instant kill!! Widowmaker flanked and instantly killed Kai'Sa!!!" Guan Zeyuan roared hoarsely, "That damage is outrageous!! Kai'Sa didn't even have time to react!!"

Not only that, Widowmaker's ultimate has an extremely wide range, and even a Titan standing near Kai'Sa lost a large portion of his health.

Without AD, T1's damage output is significantly reduced.

Meanwhile, JackeyLove and Xiaoyue, who had just landed after being knocked away, began their counterattack.

Syndra's Scatter Spell stunned Master Yi, while Xayah's barrage of feathers and hooks immobilized both Master Yi and Jarvan IV.

With the help of Sejuani and Rakan's crowd control, EDG launched a perfect defensive counterattack!

"Double Kill!"

"Triple Kill!"

JackeyLove's Xayah secured a double kill, while Xiaoyue's Syndra also took down Master Yi.

T1's five-man charge resulted in only a low-health Malphite who used Flash to escape back to his tower.

"A 0-for-4 exchange!! EDG pulled off an absolutely perfect team fight at the Rift Herald pit!!" Remember slammed his fist on the table in excitement. "Mozi's flanking maneuver was absolutely deadly! While T1 focused all their attention on EDG's backline, he was like a ghost, completely shredding T1's core damage dealer!!"

The chat room was already completely buzzing with excitement:
This is the assassin!! This is the widow!!

[T1: We're charging your back row! Su Mo: Coincidentally, me too.]

[Gumayusi: Why is my screen black? Who hit me?]

[Mozi's Widowmaker is not only annoying in lane, but also a nuclear weapon in team fights! If he gets an opening, the carry is guaranteed to die!]

10 minutes 00 seconds.

EDG secured the Rift Herald and then pushed down T1's mid-lane turret.

Su Mo's widow returned to town and immediately acquired the Mythic item [Hextech Rocket Belt] and a pair of [Mage Boots].

At the ten-minute mark, a Widowmaker who has acquired this set of equipment is a nightmare for any squishy champion.

10 minutes 30 seconds.

Inside T1's booth, Faker switched screens to observe the map situation. The mid-lane tower had fallen, limiting T1's vision in the jungle, but EDG's bot lane duo was pushing too far into the enemy territory.

"Oner, go to the bottom lane. Zeus, stay in the top lane and defend the second tower. I'll be there soon." Faker glanced at his equipment; he had already completed the components for Blade of the Ruined King, giving him some combat capability.

T1's tactical execution was immediately apparent. Keria's Titan activated his scan, confirming that there was no EDG vision in the river bushes. Oner's Jarvan IV quietly circled around to the bottom lane's tri-bush, following the walls of his own jungle.

At this moment, JackeyLove's Xayah and Meiko's Rakan were preparing to push a wave of cannon minions to T1's bottom lane tower.

"Make your move," Faker's voice rang out in the voice chat.

Keria launched a decisive attack, with Nautilus flashing and hooking, his [Clear the Channel] skill precisely hitting Meiko, who was positioned too far forward. Oner's Jarvan IV simultaneously emerged from the side and rear, using his EQ combo to knock up Rakan, who was about to use his abilities. His ultimate, [Cataclysm], then trapped Rakan and the nearby Xayah within the terrain.

"T1's bot lane organized a four-man gank on Meiko!" Guan Zeyuan on the commentary booth spoke faster, "Keria's flash hook was spot on, Meiko was CC'd to death!"

JackeyLove reacted quickly, using his ultimate [Flying Feathers] the instant the Prince's ultimate landed, becoming untargetable, and then using Flash to pull himself back after landing.

But Faker's Master Yi had already activated his ultimate, Highlander, and flanked from the river. Facing Xayah who had used Flash, Master Yi followed up with his Q, Alpha Strike, and after landing, two auto-attacks combined with Kai'Sa's missiles depleted Xayah's health. Meiko's Rakan was also killed by the damage from Jarvan IV and Nautilus.

"Double Kill!" (End of Chapter)
