LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 95: The thief who steals the home court and kills SKT! (6400 words long chapter)
After Nightmare's ultimate skill flies to Galio, he cooperates with Olaf to deal crazy damage.

Galio used his W skill to obtain Shield of Durand, and Su Mo also used his W skill to offset it. His attack speed increased dramatically, and his elbow attack was so fast that it even left an afterimage!
In the blink of an eye, Galio was killed by Nightmare.

On the front, as the mantis enters the scene to attract fire, the rat appears on the side!
"Hello!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

The rat used his ultimate skill to shoot wildly.

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed: "Rat is dealing damage! Explosive damage! Is there no one to limit Rat? The health of the four EDG players is rapidly decreasing, Syndra uses a QE... and controls them! But it's useless, Lulu has the Crucible! It's solved in seconds!"

"Lulu used her ultimate on Mantis, but she couldn't hold on. Four people focused on her and she was gone! Although they were all low on health, EDG still had no casualties. Karma's group shield saved their lives!"

When the factory manager saw this scene, he directly controlled Olaf to use his ultimate skill to sprint and find the rat, leaving Galio to Su Mo alone.

Seeing the reckless Olaf coming, Rat had to retreat first. Fortunately, Faker's Ryze immediately followed to help cover him.

"Don't fight! Don't fight, move away first!" Meiko commanded the EDG players to move away, and the time for Rat's ultimate skill was dragged out!

Seeing SKT being scared off, the factory manager shouted: "The opponent's Mantis gave up! He gave up! Rat doesn't have a big move! We can kill the dragon, the opponent can't take it!"

Su Mo suddenly had an idea: "I'll go to the bottom lane to lead the team, and you guys go to kill the big dragon. I have TP, so we can maximize the benefits!"

So everyone in EDG took action, and except for Su Mo, everyone else went to kill the Baron.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan explained:
"This has never been fought before? Did you see how explosive Rat's output is? But no one on SKT can withstand the damage. If anyone can hold on for two more seconds, EDG's team fight will explode!"

Rita also analyzed:
"SKT suffered heavy losses in this wave. Mantis entered the field in stealth, seemingly intending to cooperate with Galio, but Nightmare used his ultimate first and flew directly to Galio, preventing Galio from using his ultimate!"

"In the end, Mantis was isolated and killed, causing Twitch to not dare to continue to attack halfway through. If Galio's ultimate skill flew over, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Jide agreed: "Yes, I don't know if this is a coincidence, but judging from the final result, Nightmare did a great job! What should SKT do now? Can Twitch fight for the Baron without his ultimate?"

At this time, the SKT team began to get angry in voice chat.

Peanut asked, "Huni, give me your ultimate. Just give me your ultimate and we'll win. What are you doing?"

Huni quickly explained: "I was attacked by the opponent. I was about to use my ultimate skill on you, but the opponent's Nightmare used his ultimate skill first and sent me flying. I couldn't see it..."

Xiaohuasheng feels speechless. It’s this Galio again!

[Get Torture Points from Peanut +88]

It seems that every death in this game is directly related to Galio!
The more Peanut thought about it, the angrier he got. "Huni, you had to go through the jungle. Why don't you just go around the high ground?"

Huni also has his own explanation: "The distance is not enough, it's too far, it takes a long time for me to go around from the high ground..."

Faker interrupted the two: "Stop talking, let's talk after the game. It's not over yet, there's still a chance, let's defend the bottom lane first."

The SKT players chose to give up the Baron and go to defend the bottom lane.

Seeing that no one was coming from the front, EDG gave a signal to let Su Mo go first.

So EDG easily took down the Baron.

"Nice! I feel like I have it stable this time!" The factory manager was a little excited. He was very nervous and silent before, but now he finally relaxed.

"Mingkai, are you happy? I just want to ask you if you are happy! Now our economy is at least 5,000 or 6,000 ahead." Meiko was also very happy.

Zet joked: "I guess Mingkai didn't think he could lead SKT before. It's good enough to last 20 minutes."

The factory manager retorted: "You guys are talking as if you were sure we could win before the game."

The factory manager quickly calmed down: "Let's win the game first, then we can talk about other things. Lead the troops in the lane, and then gather in the middle lane to push forward."

Meiko also calmed down and reminded: "The damage of the rat is very high. It's hard to fight in a team fight. It's really hard to fight. We'd better not join the team fight unless we can kill the rat in one second."

The EDG players have lost their previous excitement, which is indeed a problem.

Although they are now far ahead in economy, SKT's ability to turn the tables is well known.

Su Mo's Nightmare developed very well, but there was Lulu on the opposite side, so Nightmare only had a chance to charge once. If he couldn't kill the enemy in one wave, he would die.

So now is not the time to be optimistic.

"Let's push forward in 131." Su Mo said, "I'll continue to go to the bottom lane, and you go to the top lane, little brother."

Su Mo's Nightmare continued in the bottom lane, the duo and Olaf were in the middle lane, and Syndra was in the top lane.

Soon, the middle lane soldiers entered the defensive tower, and the SKT team defended under the tower.

"You guys hold them back first, I'll go push the tower."

The second tower in the bottom lane of the opposite side is gone, so Su Mo can lead the troops to the high ground.

At this time, Galio was the only one on the high ground. This was Galio wearing tank armor, and he couldn't even clear the minion line.

Rita commented: "EDG is now playing split-lane. In my impression, EDG rarely plays this style of play. It should be said that it is difficult to find a team in the entire LPL that can play split-lane well."

"It's mainly because the requirements for top laners are relatively high. LPL has never had a top laner of this quality before, while LCK likes to split push a lot."

Jide agreed: "That's right, now SKT must make a decision, either start a team fight in the middle lane, or drive away Nightmare in the bottom lane, otherwise Nightmare will soon threaten the front tower and the base."

Seeing that Su Mo was about to push the tower, Galio used a Justice Punch to knock him away, and then followed up with Durand's shield.

Durand's Shield has a taunt effect, and Nightmare will be forced to attack Galio, so that the defensive tower will help, otherwise Galio's own output will not be enough.

However, Nightmare still used the W skill to successfully counteract it. His attack speed suddenly increased, and he elbowed the defense tower madly. The health of the defense tower dropped rapidly, and it was gone in the blink of an eye!

"I can't defend it, they have to think of a way!" Huni couldn't hold on any longer. If Nightmare touched the front tower, it would probably only take a few seconds.

"Go! Start the fight head-on." Faker can only let his teammates force the fight, the more decisive the better, otherwise Nightmare will use his ultimate first and Galio won't be able to get over.

"They are getting anxious! They want to start a fight, let's go!" When the factory manager saw the mouse going invisible, he knew what was going on and retreated with his teammates.

After the rat becomes invisible and then reappears, it will have an attack speed bonus, which can deliver explosive damage when combined with the ultimate move, so as long as this skill is activated, it will definitely be used for team battles.

"Scatter and scat, PDD!" Meiko's Karma handed over RE and retreated with his teammates.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "SKT wants to start a team fight. If they can, I think they have a chance. The hero Nightmare is not that strong in team fights. No one in EDG's lineup can cooperate with him to enter the game."

"EDG is retreating, Ryze is using his ultimate, is Faker planning to teleport in directly to cooperate with Galio to start a team fight?"

Ryze's ultimate appeared in the middle of EDG, and the factory manager made a prompt decision: "Don't worry about it, run!"

Soon, Ryze landed and Galio's ultimate appeared above Ryze's head!

As soon as Ryze used his E skill, Varus flashed away, giving Ryze no chance to control him.

So Ryze flashed and used W to control Varus.

"Sell it!" the factory director ordered decisively.

Suddenly, Mantis appeared on the side and used an enhanced void thrust to slow down Olaf and the fast-moving Syndra who was rushing over.

Olaf is not afraid because he has sprint, but he doesn't dare to go straight up with the Mantis for fear of being targeted.

In the back, Varus had been melted, and the SKT team continued to chase forward, directly to the middle river position.

At this moment, Huni reminded: "Nightmare is still pushing, don't chase him!"

“Lift the curtain!”

The SKT players were planning to retreat and find a place to return to the city for defense.

However, Nightmare activated his ultimate, causing them to lose vision.

"Protect the AD! Protect the AD!" Wolf called all his teammates back and the four of them gathered together.

Why are there four people? Because Mantis is alone in the front.

"Hey!" Peanut was suddenly startled. His teammates all retreated, and with no vision, he seemed to be isolated!
What's worse is that he has no vision, but EDG has vision and will not be affected.

Scout decisively flashed and used his ultimate skill to release energy to follow the weak opponent and retreat.

Mantis used flash to retreat, but was still controlled because the range of Scattering Flowers was too large.

Olaf activated his ultimate and rushed forward to deal damage, and Karma followed up with a W skill.

"Is it me? Me again?" Peanut felt despair again.

A second later, the mantis turned into a corpse again.

[Get Torture Points from Peanut +80]

On the other side, Su Mo was pushing the opposite front tower. Although he used his ultimate skill, he did not fly over.

Rita clapped her hands and cheered: "Fooled! SKT was fooled, they thought Nightmare was going to fly over when he used his ultimate, but Nightmare had no such idea at all, he pushed the defense tower so fast!"

"One front tower has been lost, and then the second one. SKT is still returning to the city. Is it too late?"

"Mingkai, let's go and leave the people on the opposite side behind. Don't just watch them." Meiko called the factory manager over.

After the factory manager chopped Peanut's mantis to death, he chose to circle around and step on the mantis's corpse twice. It is not known whether it was intentional or not.

However, when he heard Meiko's call, he quickly followed to find the SKT members.

Karma accelerated herself and moved forward, and saw the opponent's rat, so she interrupted him with her Q skill.

"Damn!" Bang was shocked. Ryze and Lulu beside him hurriedly interrupted and went back to the city to help, so Galio was the only one who went back.

"What are you doing? Aren't you coming back?" Huni was dumbfounded. He was asked to stop Nightmare alone? Was this a joke?
At this time, the second front tower was already low on health, and Galio rushed out to stop it.

From the front, Lulu flashes and turns into a sheep to control Karma, and Twitch and Ryze follow up with output and kill her instantly!

"Damn, I didn't even use my flash." Meiko felt a little sorry and still wanted to make another move.

SKT's second front tower was gone, and Nightmare began to push the crystal.

Rita became excited: "Come on, Mozi! One more wave! It seems like we can have one more wave!"

In the official MSI live broadcast room, the comments instantly exploded:
"No way, EDG is really going to win?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Today! Mingkai's revenge, today!"

"Don't be afraid, just do it. Someone will help you win!"

This time, the factory manager was really not afraid. The opponent wanted to ignore his return to the city, but he just slashed at his face, forcing SKT's Twitch and Lulu to attack him.

Ryze was behind, and Zzai wanted to rush over to interrupt, but the distance was not enough!
"I tried my best! Xiao Mo, it's up to you!" The factory director finally handed over his head.

Scout's Syndra walked forward while taking the damage from the rat, interrupted Ryze's return to the city with QE, and was killed herself!

I remember the commentator said: "Interrupted! SKT's recall was interrupted, there is only one Galio! Mozi has a chance!"

The crystal of the opposite base was already half dead. Galio's E skill was dodged, and the damage of his Q skill was pitifully low, so he could only use Durand's Shield.

Xiaohua was anxious: "Huni, don't use W, his W is still there!"

Huni suddenly thought of something, but it was too late!

Nightmare used his W skill to offset Galio's Durand Shield, and his attack speed suddenly increased!
"Ah! I can't stand it anymore!" Little Peanut held his head and scratched it.

From the beginning of the game to now, he has never seen Galio's W control Nightmare, and every time he was blocked by Nightmare's W. It was too abstract.

[Get Torture Points from Peanut +200]

[Task completed, rewards: Torture Points +1000, Ultimate Hero Proficiency Card*1]

Ryze, Twitch, and Lulu rushed out of the fountain together, but Nightmare's attack speed was too fast, the base crystal couldn't withstand it, and its health dropped to zero!
Rita announced passionately: "We won! We won! As the crystal in SKT's base exploded, EDG won the game! They did it, they defeated SKT!"

Remember to answer, "With the long rope in hand, we dare to tie up the blue dragon! EDG defeated the arrogant SKT! No one was optimistic about you, but you were the most competitive! Even in our live broadcast room, the number of people supporting SKT far exceeded the number of people supporting EDG."

"On the Internet, the support rate of the two teams is 1:9! That's such a big gap! But EDG doesn't believe in fate and changes their destiny. They have proved that in the arena, nothing is certain. If you dare to do it, it is possible!"

On the field, Su Mo heard the sound of crystal exploding in his headphones.

Zet roared, "Fuck! We won! We won! Brother Mo is awesome!" Meiko held his face with his hands and exclaimed, "We actually won like this... Are we dreaming?"

Scout: “It feels a bit unreal. In fact, if we really fought head-on, we would have a hard time. We actually won by relying on a single push.”

The factory manager was busy laughing and didn't say anything. He probably wanted to be more reserved, but he couldn't help himself: "Hehe..."

In the official MSI live broadcast room, the live broadcast screen has been flooded with comments:
"Mo! Mo! Mo!"

"EDG! This year is the most promising year!"

"Did EDG really win? What is SKT doing?"

"Mingkai defeated Xiaohuasheng? And it turned out to be Tiangang?"

On the field, after celebrating, the EDG players stood up and lined up to walk towards SKT.

As the top laner, Su Mo walked in front and met SKT top laner Huni first.

This person's mentality was notoriously bad, and Su Mo could see it. His face and ears were red, and he felt like a volcano that would erupt at any time.

Su Mo stepped forward and stretched out his hand. Huni stretched out his hand very reluctantly, but did not forget to say:
"You used your trump card in the group stage. It seems like you only plan to win once so we can go home and go fishing."

Su Mo was stunned: "Trump card? What trump card?"

Huni chuckled: "Nightmare is your trump card, right? Don't pretend, you have been preparing for a long time, just to attack us once. Even if you win this time, what about next time?"

Su Mo scratched his head: "Brother, what are you talking about? I have never played Nightmare before."

[Get Torture Points from Huni +60]

Seeing Su Mo's reaction, Huni's mouth twitched. In his opinion, Su Mo was deliberately humiliating him!

What do you mean you've never played before, and you can still beat him online without playing before, so what if you've played before? Smoke starts coming out when you enter the game base?
"Xiao Mo, let's go." The factory director pushed Su Mo.

Su Mo continued to move forward, and the next one was Peanut.

Little Peanut looks a little uncomfortable and autistic.

The next one is Faker.

Faker seemed to be in good condition. When he saw Su Mo coming over, he lowered his head to confirm which hand Su Mo was extending.

Seeing that Su Mo stretched out his right hand this time, Faker asked, "Did you do that on purpose last time?"

Su Mo smiled: "This time it was intentional to prevent the last incident from happening again."

Faekr smiled slightly and said nothing, but it was obvious that he did not believe what Su Mo said.

Continue moving forward and you will see the bottom lane duo.

Bang gave people a feeling of being relaxed and open, and even though he lost the game, he didn't have too many negative emotions.

Of course, this kind of personality may sometimes manifest as a lack of ambition, a lack of competitiveness, and not setting high enough standards for oneself.

Finally, it’s Wolf, the Wolf Warrior of LCK!
He looked at Su Mo unfriendly as soon as he saw him.

While shaking hands with Su Mo, Wolf said, "I hope you can make it to the finals. Practice hard then."

Su Mo replied: "We'll see when the time comes. It's hard to say now."

Wolf felt that Su Mo had something else in mind: "Are you trying to say that we SKT can't get in? Is that what you mean?"

Su Mo spread his hands: "No, it's inexplicable."

Su Mo turned and left, leaving Wolf with his back.

[Get Torment Points from Wolf +20]

Coming back to his side, Su Mo packed up his things and put his keyboard and mouse into the lounge first.

Then he came back, celebrated with his teammates, stood in the middle of the stage, and bowed to the audience.

After the bow, everyone prepared to go back.

At this moment, a staff member came up to remind:

"I would like to ask Mo to go to the LPL interview booth for an interview, and I would like to ask Scout to go to the LCK interview booth for an interview."

"Please ask Clearlove7 to go to the LEC interview booth for an interview."

"Please ask Meiko to go to the LCS interview booth to take over the interview."

Zet was stunned: "No more? Where should I go?"

Meiko smiled and said, "Of course I'm going home. Where else do you want to go?"

Zet felt a little aggrieved, but when he thought about how he really didn't perform well in this game, he just accepted his fate.

But the next moment, Su Mo's voice came: "Zet, come with me."

Zet's eyes lit up instantly.

Su Mo brought Zet and quickly found the interview seat of the LPL region. The camera, lights and host were all ready.

The person in charge of the interview was Luo Xin. When she saw Su Mo and Zet coming over, Luo Xin greeted them with a smile:

"Congratulations, Mozi, you guys beat SKT! I thought I was dreaming! You're so strong!"

Su Mo replied: "Maybe there is a bit of luck involved."

He really thought so. He won the MVP in this game, but many of his achievements were actually due to luck.

It seems that luck is also a very important factor.

"You are too modest. How could it be luck? Brother Mozi, you are awesome!" Luo Xin gave a thumbs up and blinked.

"Come on, Brother Mozi, come over here."

Luo Xin brought Su Mo to stand in front of the camera. This was the first time that Su Mo was interviewed at a world competition, facing audiences all over the world.

Su Mo glanced at Zet, who was standing there with a nervous look on his face, and waved to him to join him.

Luo Xin also noticed this little action and looked at Su Mo deeply again.

After Zet came over, she said to Su Mo:
"Once again, congratulations to EDG for winning the opening match of this MSI. Even though most people were not optimistic about it, they defeated SKT, the Spring Split champion of the LCK region!"

“Now, we have invited EDG’s starting top laner Mo and ADC-Zet to be interviewed.”

"Brother Mozi, Zet, say hello to everyone."

Su Mo took the microphone from Luo Xin and said:

"Hello everyone, I am EDG top laner, Mo."

"Hi everyone, I'm Zet."

The atmosphere on the scene reached a climax instantly:
"Mo! Mo! Mo!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Most of the fans at the scene were foreigners. Of course, there were also many international students and Chinese watching the game.

Perhaps it was because Su Mo’s performance was so good, the foreign audiences were also very enthusiastic.

Luo Xin began to ask questions:
"Brother Mozi, let's get started. First question, in this game you used the unpopular hero Nightmare to help the team win. Was this a tactic you prepared in advance?"

Su Mo asked back: "Do you want to hear the truth or the official answer?"

"The truth!" Luo Xin said without hesitation.

"It's just an improvisation," Su Mo replied, "This is also my first time playing this hero."

[Get Torture Points from Huni +20]

Su Mo smiled with satisfaction, thinking that whatever he could get was better.

As soon as these words came out, the comments in the live broadcast room were boiling:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"I feel like he's teasing us!"

"It's probably a smokescreen. Anyone who believes it is an idiot."

"Teams that don't practice Nightmare now will suffer a big setback at this MSI."

Luo Xin did not question it at all and exclaimed: "Wow, he is worthy of being the canyon inventor Mozi, he is so amazing!"

"Then the second question is, what do you think of the SKT team? This should be your first time playing against them, how do you feel?"

At this time, in the SKT lounge, the SKT players were packing up to leave, and the screen next to them was playing footage of Su Mo being interviewed.

After answering the first question, Huni's mentality was already not right. Now when Luo Xin asked the second question, SKT subconsciously looked over.

Little Peanut said angrily, "I think he's going to mock us. It doesn't matter. Let him win once, let him get cocky, and then we'll take care of him next time!"

However, Su Mo's answer was: "I feel that SKT is quite strong overall. They are a very strong opponent. The main reason for this game was that we didn't give them the opportunity to team up. Thanks to Peanut for giving me the opportunity to develop, otherwise it would have been difficult for us to win."

On the other side, Xiaohua was so angry that she started to speak in Chinese: "I'm going to knock your uncle!"

[Get +80 torture points from Peanut]

Luo Xin was a person who enjoyed watching the fun and not minding the big things. Not only did she not think there was anything wrong with what Su Mo said, but she also praised him:
"Brother Mozi, you are really too modest. I hope you can perform better in the next game."

Seeing that Luo Xin seemed to be about to end the interview, Su Mo quickly said, "Wait a minute! Let me make an advertisement first."

Luo Xin was stunned. Why did this seem familiar?

She quickly took the microphone away and put it behind her back, whispering, "Brother Mozi, there are a lot of international audiences watching us now, don't mess around! Can we fight next time?"

"Oh..." Su Mo felt a little regretful.

After finishing the interview, Su Mo returned to the lounge.

Abu greeted with a smile:

"Xiao Mo, thank you for your hard work. This game is all thanks to you. You are really a genius. I didn't expect that Nightmare could restrain the combination of Galio and Twitch."

Su Mo chuckled: "It's just a sudden thought."

Abu directly pulled Su Mo over to sit down, and then began to give him a gentle shoulder massage:
"Keep going, Xiao Mo. We'll try to win the MSI championship this time! Now pack your things first. When everyone comes back, we'll go back together."

Soon, the factory manager came back, smiling.

However, after seeing Su Mo and Abu, he immediately changed his expression to a calm one.

"Changzi, if you want to laugh, don't hold it in. I know you can't hold it back anymore." Su Mo teased.

"What did you say? Isn't it just winning a game? It's still the group stage, and we still have a long way to go." The factory manager pretended to be deep.

Meiko and Scout also came back, both with smiles on their faces.

Su Mo pointed at the factory manager and teased, "The factory is in a bad mood, so don't be so happy, take care of it."

It would have been better if he didn't say it. After he said it, everyone laughed even more happily.

Meiko: "Hahaha... Mingkai is acting cool again."

Zet: "Brother Kai, stop pretending. We all know you are very excited."
