LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Miller's expression was grave: "Now all the pressure is on EDG. The Baron Nashor will spawn in twenty minutes. Although Amumu is very tanky, if JDG doesn't engage Amumu in team fights and instead bypasses him to target Orianna and Varus, EDG simply won't be able to engage!"

19 minutes 30 seconds.

Su Mo bought the [Thorn Armor] to replenish his final armor and critical injury attributes.

He glanced at the grayed-out screen, at the icons of the bottom lane duo who had just respawned.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have been greedy with that wave of minions." AD player Leave was full of self-blame in the voice chat.

"It's alright." Su Mo's voice remained calm and composed, without a trace of blame.

He picked up his thermos and took a sip of water.

“Since they like playing hide-and-seek,” Su Mo put down his cup, a dangerous glint in his eyes, “then let them see the fear of having nowhere to hide.”

19 minutes 45 seconds.

The Baron Nashor is about to spawn.

In order to gain vision control, JDG grouped up and cautiously pushed towards the upper half of the river.

"Missing, keep scanning, watch out for Amumu's flank," Knight warned.

Luo started scanning, carefully checking the bushes along the way.

At this moment, apart from Amumu, the other four members of EDG were all huddled near the second mid-lane tower, clearly extremely wary of contesting vision around Baron Nashor.

19 minutes 55 seconds.

JDG successfully secured vision around the Baron pit, clearing out all of EDG's wards.

"Baron is about to spawn, should we go for it or force a team fight?" Kanavi asked.

"Force a team fight first, bait out Amumu's ultimate!" Coach Homme directed from backstage.

Just then, the director's camera suddenly switched to JDG's upper jungle!
20 minute and 00 seconds!

With a deafening roar, Baron Nashor descended upon Summoner's Rift!
At this moment, Su Mo's Amumu was neither defending in the mid lane nor securing vision in the front.

He actually turned on his scanner and boldly bypassed JDG's defenses in the mid lane, hiding alone in a small patch of bushes behind JDG's red buff!
This is an extremely deep and extremely dangerous location!

"Mozi has flanked!!!" Wawa jumped up on the commentary stage. "He single-handedly infiltrated JDG's backyard!!!"

However, JDG has clearly made ample preparations to prevent flanking maneuvers.

After placing a control ward in the river bushes, Missing seemed to sense something. He turned around and walked towards the red buff, his scanning aura expanding continuously.

"The scan found it!! Lowe's scan found Amumu in the bushes!!" Miller shouted.

"He's here!!" Missing exclaimed, immediately issuing a warning in the voice chat.

The other four JDG players reacted instantly. Syndra, Vi, Olaf, and Xayah all turned their guns around at the same time, like four hungry wolves, and pounced on the little mummy that had been exposed in their sight!

"We're surrounded! Mozi's flank has been discovered!! One against five! This is going to be a disaster!" Zitai slammed his fist on the table, his face full of disbelief.

They were surrounded by five enemy soldiers.

Su Mo did not use Flash to escape.

He didn't even move an inch.

Amumu, his body wrapped in bandages and clad in heavy armor, stood quietly in the grass, watching the five menacing figures charging towards him.

Amumu, his body wrapped in bandages and clad in heavy armor, stood quietly in the grass, watching the five men rushing towards him menacingly.

"Kill him!" Knight's Syndra took the lead, decisively unleashing a QE combo with [Weaklings Begone].

The Dark Orb struck Amumu precisely, stunning him!

Kanavi's Vi followed closely behind, unleashing a fully charged Q punch on Amumu, followed by two auto-attacks that triggered the Bomb Shield.

Missing didn't even use any skills; he simply stepped forward to prepare to control the enemy.

Olaf, with 369's speed boost, charged forward, wildly swinging his twin axes.

20 minutes 05 seconds.

Despite the combined fire of all five JDG players, this terrifying burst damage only reduced Amumu's health bar to two-thirds!

"What kind of tankiness is this?! Syndra takes off a layer of skin after just one combo?!" Wawa exclaimed, her eyes wide on the commentary stage.

The burning effect of Sunfire Aegis, the damage reflection from Thornmail, and the physical damage reduction from Amumu's E skill.

Olaf and Vi actually lose more health the more they auto-attack, while Amumu's E skill cooldown refreshes almost incessantly!
The moment the dizziness subsides.

Su Mo neither retreated nor unleashed his ultimate move.

He calmly activated his W [Despair Aura], his tears turning into a pool of magic, before unleashing his refreshed E skill [Amumu's Wrath]!
"boom!"

Vi, Rakan, and Olaf, who were nearby, were all affected by the magical damage.

But he still didn't unleash his ultimate move.

The atmosphere in JDG's team voice chat was somewhat tense.

"He still hasn't used his ultimate?!" Knight frowned. He knew very well that Amumu's ultimate was EDG's only asset in team fights. As long as they could bait out Amumu's ultimate or force him to retreat, they could secure Baron Nashor.

"Don't use all your skills. Kite him a bit. He's very tanky. Wait until he uses his ultimate before we move out of range!" Coach Homme shouted from backstage.

JDG's players were very clever. After unleashing their first burst combo, they quickly spread out, maintaining an extremely ambiguous distance, neither allowing Amumu to escape nor giving him the chance to use his ultimate to circle five enemies.

20 minutes 10 seconds.

At this moment, the other four members of EDG had already made their way across the river.

Ah Chen's Lee Sin and Xiao Yue's Orianna were keeping a close eye on JDG's formation, which had become somewhat scattered due to Amumu's interference.

"I'll find an opportunity to kick!" Ah Chen said in the voice chat.

"No need." Su Mo's voice remained calm and steady. "They want my ultimate move, I'll give it to them."

Su Mo clicked the mouse on the ground with extremely fine precision.

Instead of heading towards Vi and Olaf, who were the most densely packed enemy groups, he took a step towards Ruler's Xayah, who was on the very edge of JDG's formation and in the safest direction, despite taking damage.

This is the step.

Ruler keenly sensed the danger and instinctively took a step back, his finger hovering over the ultimate move button, ready to take off at any moment to evade control.

Just then!

"Golden light flashed!"

Su Mo used his Flash!

But the direction wasn't towards the sunset, nor towards the center of the crowd!

Instead, it was moving towards the flank of JDG's formation, trying to use its Q skill to whittle down... Knight's Syndra!

"Flash!! Amumu flashed!! His target is Syndra!" Miller exclaimed.

The instant he landed, his ultimate skill, [Curse of the Mummy], crashed down!
Ancient golden runes exploded beneath Syndra's feet!

However, because JDG's formation was very spread out, this flash ultimate only managed to trap Syndra!

Even Luo, who was standing next to him, was extremely dangerously outside the range of the ultimate skill.

"Missed it?! Mozi's ultimate only hit one person!!!" Zz1tai suddenly stood up on the commentary stage. "This is a huge loss! JDG's positioning was too perfect. They forced Amumu to use an extremely unsuccessful ultimate!"

"It's over, EDG's only team fight engine has shut down!" Wawa also looked desperate.

JDG erupted in jubilation in their voice chat.

"He used his ultimate!! Let's take Baron! Forget about him, go back and take Baron!" Although Knight was immobilized, he knew he had a Stopwatch and wouldn't die.

"Beautiful!" Kanavi's Vi immediately turned around, preparing to charge towards the Dragon Pit.

20 minutes 15 seconds.

Just when everyone, including the JDG players, commentators, and the entire audience, thought that Su Mo's flanking maneuver had completely failed and that EDG was about to collapse, Amumu, who had only circled one person, moved.

He did not go to A, where Syndra was imprisoned.

Instead, in the same frame as the ultimate skill landed, the Q skill [Bandage Pull] was suddenly fired!
The target is Xayah, who just instinctively retreated and is now preparing to turn around and fight Baron Nashor!

"Snapped!"

Because Xayah's attention was completely drawn to Amumu's "failed" Flash-Ultimate, this extremely well-hidden and incredibly fast bandage hit Ruler precisely!

"Q hit!! Amumu's Q hit Xayah!!"

Amumu flew like a cannonball, directly onto Xia's face through the bandage!
The moment of landing, combined with the burning effect of W's Despair Aura and the damage from Sunfire Cape.

At this moment, Xiao Yue's clockwork puppet was still attached to Amumu!

"Command: Shockwave!"

Orianna's ultimate ability exploded at Xayah's feet!

Ruler was terrified. In the instant he was pulled by Orianna's ultimate, he frantically pressed his ultimate [Storm Blade] and flew into the sky!
But the moment he landed!
Amumu's E skill, "Amumu's Wrath," combined with a powerful auto-attack, slams down!

Immediately afterwards, the Blind Monk hopped through the wall and delivered a precise Dragon's Tail kick to Xayah, who had just landed!
Damage overflow!

"EDG.Xiaoyue has killed JDG.Ruler!"

The entire venue was deathly silent for two seconds, then erupted in a deafening roar of surprise!
"A feint attack!!!" Miller roared hoarsely, spitting saliva onto the microphone, "Brother Mozi used a Flash-ultimate as bait, pretending to engage Syndra, fooling everyone's attention. The real killing move was the predicted Q following behind!!! That was too cleverly planned!!!"

Zizai clutched his head, his mouth agape: "My God... is this even a combo a human could come up with? He knew that if he directly Q'd Xayah, she would definitely be able to use her ultimate. So he deliberately flashed and ulted an unimportant person to lower Xayah's guard! This is the work of a god of psychology!"

20 minutes 20 seconds.

Without their AD carry, JDG instantly found themselves on the defensive.

But they still did not collapse.

"Kill Amumu first! He's out of skills!" Knight shouted angrily as he woke up from his restraints.

Vi and Olaf turned and focused their fire on Amumu, who had penetrated deep into enemy territory.

On the other side, Missing's Rakan was extremely decisive, activating his ultimate and transforming into a streak of light, directly charging into EDG's backline, charming Varus and Leona who were trying to follow up with damage!
"JDG is still fighting! Rakan has engaged on EDG's bot lane duo!"

The team fight was split into two parts.

Amumu's health finally began to drop dangerously under the siege of three JDG players.

Meanwhile, EDG's bot lane duo also appeared to be in a precarious situation due to Syndra's long-range burst damage and Rakan's crowd control.

20 minutes 35 seconds.

"Retreat! We can't fight anymore, pull away!" Su Mo calmly commanded over the voice chat.

He activated his W ability, tanking the damage, and retreated with small, quick steps towards the top of the Dragon Pit.

Achen's Lee Sin covered the low-health Orianna and Varus as they retreated with difficulty back to their own red buff jungle.

20 minutes 45 seconds.

Each side left behind a corpse and pulled away in a disheveled state.

"It was too brutal. The game between the two sides in this team fight has reached its limit." Wawa wiped the sweat from his forehead. "EDG used Mozi's god-like initiation to kill Xayah, but JDG's counter-engage also crippled EDG's backline. Now both sides have lost the ability to continue fighting for Baron."

21 minutes 30 seconds.

After regrouping and replenishing their equipment, both sides gathered again at the Dragon Pit.

At this moment, Su Mo's Amumu, having absorbed a massive amount of damage, returned to base and replenished [Nature's Power].

His tankiness has reached a level that makes JDG despair.

"We can't worry about him anymore, let's find an opportunity to rush Baron." Kanavi gritted his teeth as he looked at Amumu's three and a half tank items on the item panel.

"He doesn't have any ultimate moves, we'll fight to the bitter end!" Knight said with a resolute expression.

22 minutes 00 seconds.

JDG's five players decisively charged into the dragon pit and immediately activated Baron Nashor!
With the Baron vision gone, EDG had no choice but to push forward despite the risks.

Ah Chen's Lee Sin walked in front, trying to use his Q skill to scout vision.

22 minutes 10 seconds.

The dragon's health dropped to half.

Su Mo's Amumu walked to the narrow pass of the river and looked at the pitch-black Dragon Pit.

“They’re fighting,” he said with certainty.

"Should I go down and rob it?" Ah Chen asked.

"No." Su Mo shook his head. "I'll go down."

The words had barely left his mouth when, without any hesitation, he spoke.

Amumu decisively used his Q ability, Bandage Pull!
Our target is the pitch-black depths of the Dragon Pit!

"Snapped!"

Blind-sight Q! A precise hit on Vi, who was fighting the dragon inside the dragon pit!

Amumu flew straight into the dragon pit like a green cannonball!

"He's in! Amumu flew into the dragon pit all by himself! But he doesn't have his ultimate!" Miller shouted.

The moment he landed, facing the combined fire of all five JDG players, Su Mo activated his W [Despair Aura] and E skill [Amumu's Wrath].

He didn't try to steal the Baron or attack the enemy heroes.

He simply stood against Wei's face, enduring all the damage head-on.

JDG's voice chat was in complete disarray.

"He's not strong! Ignore him, attack the dragon!"

"The dragon still has 3,000 health!"

"two thousand!"

22 minutes 20 seconds.

Just when the dragon's health dropped to the limit of two thousand!

Ah Chen's Lee Sin treads under the dragon pit and uses his ultimate, Dragon Tail, to kick Vi, who is tanking the dragon, out of the pit!
At this critical moment!
Su Mo's Amumu actually activated Zhonya's Hourglass while being ganged up on by four JDG players!

"Ding!"

The little mummy transformed into a golden statue, standing beside the great dragon!
The moment Amumu activated his invulnerability, all of JDG's AOE damage missed, and Xiaoyue's Orianna had somehow already hidden in the spot where Amumu had just been standing!

"Command: Shockwave!"

Orianna's ultimate ability exploded inside the dragon pit! It engulfed JDG's Syndra, Xayah, and Rakan!

"Steal the dragon!" Su Mo shouted in the voice chat.

Lee Sin followed up with his second Q, and then used Smite!
System notification: EDG.Achen has killed Baron Nashor!

"We got it!!! EDG stole the Baron!!!" Wawa roared hoarsely.

But the price for stealing Baron Nashor was heavy.

The moment the invincibility ended, Su Mo's Amumu was instantly engulfed by the rage of the five JDG players and fell into the dragon pit.

Ah Chen's Lee Sin was also killed by Olaf while desperately covering the retreat of the back row.

Although JDG lost Baron Nashor, they managed a 2-for-0 trade and successfully forced back the remaining three members of EDG. (End of Chapter)
