LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 279 Final! Classic Pig-Dog Battle!
In the evening, Su Mo received news from Luo Xin and Rita, and they had already started working.

Su Mo told them to go to bed early. They could finish the cutting tomorrow and it was not necessary to produce results tonight.

The next day, the other side's semi-finals began.

The EDG team gathered together to watch the game between RNG and RW.

Su Mo found a seat and sat down. The factory manager came over and asked, "So, who do you think will win?"

Su Mo responded: "I think you definitely hope that RW can win."

The factory manager was stunned: "Why? How can you know what I'm thinking?"

Su Mo smiled: "You definitely don't want Uzi to enter the finals, is that even a thought?"

The factory manager sneered: "It's a good thing that he made it to the finals. I can give their bottom lane some strength."

The factory manager reached out and squeezed the boy's shoulder: "Now that Xiao Zhao has trained well, plus my help to the bottom lane, it's not easy to deal with an Uzi, right, Xiao Zhao?"

Iboy just smiled. It was obvious that he didn't think so, but under the "tyrannical power" of the factory director, he didn't dare to object.

On the screen, players from both sides came on stage, including ten starting players from RNG and RW.

A Guang was among them.

Meiko muttered, "Do you think Guang will regret leaving EDG?"

Before anyone else could say anything, Zizi spoke first: "How is that possible? Ah Guang is a man with ambition and dreams. To him, a champion who wins by doing nothing is not a champion. Only a champion who wins the game himself is a champion."

Meiko asked curiously, "How do you know what he thinks? Did he tell you?"

Zizhi rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile, "That's not it, I just guessed."

"Think about it, he left right after EDG won the championship. It must be because of this. What else could it be?"

Meiko laughed: "You don't want him to come back, so you said that on purpose."

Touching the nose with an attitude, arguing with reason:

"Didn't the previous SKT mid laner, Easyhoon, do the same thing? He said he didn't want to live under Faker's shadow, and then he left SKT."

"Then A Guang definitely doesn't want to live under Brother Mo Zi's shadow, so I'm asking if that makes sense."

Abu interrupted, "Okay, the game has started, let's watch it first."

However, it must be said that A Guang’s choice of heroes in RW is different from that in EDG.

In this game, he picked up the Aatrox in the top lane, showing great courage.

RNG uses their signature skills, four protecting one!

In comparison, RW's lineup is much more reasonable, with all three lanes being core.

The factory manager looked disdainful: "It's already S8, and RNG is still playing four protecting one? Isn't it boring?"

Meiko speculated: "I saw that they have tried other different ways of playing before, but they couldn't win. It's not that they don't want to change, but they can't change, so they can only rely on their old tricks."

So in the first game, RNG lost without any suspense.

Although the difference in kills is not big, the normal rhythm is under RW's control.

Doinb's Kled was too intimidating in the middle lane, suppressing RNG's top lane, bottom lane and jungle.

The factory manager commented: "You know what, Guang's performance was good in this match. At least he didn't let us down."

Meiko agreed: "Indeed, it's not easy to mess up the Aatrox hero. His ultimate can revive, which is too bad. It's not easy to target him."

Soon, the second game began.

RNG targeted them in BP, and took away Taliyah, Galio, and Aatrox.

At this moment, RW played a trick, taking out Ryze and pretending to be the mid laner, but finally picked Urgot, Urgot and Ryze switched lanes, becoming top lane Ryze and mid lane Urgot.

The factory manager was confused: "What is RW doing? Is it easy for Ryze to beat Aatrox?"

Su Mo replied, "It's OK. With Ryze using Phase Rush, Aatrox will be kite-ed, but it's unlikely that Ryze will be able to destroy Aatrox. I think it's mainly for the sake of playing in the middle lane. Urgot is quite comfortable against Galio."

Just then RNG took out Vayne!
Meiko laughed: "Uzi is going to be the savior, with Tam as the support, Galio as the mid laner, and Taliyah as the jungler. Vayne is too comfortable in the bottom lane."

Abu commented: "I think if RW wants to win this game, it depends on the top lane. Guang's performance determines whether RW can win the game, and he has to perform well, not just being a mediocre player."

Hearing this, Zizi laughed: "Then I feel like I'm done. You're counting on A Guang and Kai Rui to compete. How can you win?"

Entering the game, the early stages were very intense, with both sides fighting the entire time.

In this game, A Guang's performance was not bad, but it also did not meet Carrie's requirements. He really became a loser.

So RW lost the game in the end.

Meiko complained: "Don't you think it's outrageous? This Sword Demon bought a resurrection armor, used his ultimate to revive once in a team fight, and used the resurrection armor to revive once, and also bought a bloodthirster, repeatedly utilizing the value of each piece of equipment. He dragged on for so long by himself, and Vayne was reaped."

The factory manager agreed, "It's quite disgusting. He doesn't need any operation to play this sword demon. He just needs to get the right equipment. When fighting in a team, he can go up and sell it to hold back the opponent's back row."

Su Mo joked, "There are different levels of being a good person. You have to be able to make a name for yourself, otherwise you won't win."

"In this regard, Letme is an absolute expert. In fact, I feel that many people just can't put themselves in a balanced position. At this time, they may think about output and carry themselves, but they find that they can't operate it and it's useless. Letme's advantage is that he can put himself in a balanced position and decisively use the resurrection armor."

Meiko muttered, "That makes sense. Knowing your own worth is an advantage."

Soon the third game began and players from both teams took to the field again.

This time, A Guang was not so relaxed and looked very stressed.

In this game, RNG continued to grab the Aatrox and gave it to Letme, while RW had the same idea: Ryze and Urgot, one going to the top lane and the other going to the middle lane.

Just then, something outrageous happened.

RNG got Irelia!
"Wait... wait a minute! What does this Irelia mean? Is there anyone in RNG who can play Irelia?" The factory manager looked at Scout.

Scout hesitated and touched his nose.

The factory manager said, "Just tell me, there are no outsiders here anyway."

Scout said: "I've seen Xiaohu practice Irelia, but his proficiency is... average."

“Hahahaha…” Everyone in EDG burst into laughter.

If Scout says it’s average, then it’s very bad, but he’s just being more reserved.

Meiko joked: "I was wondering how Xiaohu could possibly train Irelia, it's too difficult for him."

Entering the game screen, it was pretty much as everyone imagined, Xiaohu's Irelia started with a record of 0-3-0.

The most outrageous thing is the performance of the mid laner. The economy of RNG and RW is the same, or a tie.

Zizi laughed and said, "This kind of drama is called one person's disadvantage. All his teammates are not at a disadvantage, only he, the mid-lane, is at a huge disadvantage."

The two sides were deadlocked for more than 1 minutes. RNG found an opportunity to fight for in a teamfight and took down the big dragon to win the game.
Meiko exclaimed: "You know what, even though the mid laner is a completely useless Irelia, RNG's teamwork in teamfights is pretty good, and they were able to win in the middle."

苏墨提醒道：“你只看到了RNG有一个0-3-0的刀妹，都没看到RW也有一个0-2-1的瑞兹吗？”

Zizi continued, "I saw it too. Guang's Ryze didn't play well again in this game. Their coach was so optimistic about him, but he doesn't seem to be able to live up to his expectations."

The director gave a close-up of A Guang, and A Guang looked quite unhappy.

In the end, RW lost to RNG, with the score at 1-2.

The factory manager muttered: "I think Uzi must be so happy now, he's going to the finals. It's a pity that he got away with it. RW's performance is too outrageous."

Su Mo smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that it would be better for Uzi to enter the finals? Are you regretting it now?"

The factory manager argued: "Do I regret it? No, I think RW had a chance, but some people were not human."

Meiko said: "You think RW will come to return the goods and say that the talents we sent are too bad?"

Abu explained: "We didn't sell Guang to RW directly, and we don't have the power to do so. Guang chose him himself, and it has nothing to do with us."

Meiko smiled and said, "I was just joking."

After a while, the fourth game began. In this game, A Guang was very obedient and took out the big worm in the top lane.

On the RNG side, Letme seemed to be playing with confidence and directly chose Jayce.

"Fuck, Jayce? Letme's Jayce, don't tease me, can he play Jayce?" Zizi started to taunt crazily.

"Zizi, who is more powerful, his Jace or your Jace?" Su Mo asked.

"Ah? Can he compare with me? Brother Mozi, you are exaggerating. His Jayce level is about the same as ours when we were fifty years old, just at that level." Zizi made an exaggerated analogy.

Su Mo said, "So there is no change?"

“Hahahaha…” Everyone in EDG laughed.

Zizhi hadn't reacted yet: "What's going on? What does it mean?"

Meiko explained: "Brother Mozi means that your current Jace is at the level of a fifty-year-old man."

At this moment, something even more outrageous happened. RW got Yasuo in the middle lane!

“Puff…” Zizi burst out laughing when he saw this scene.

"Yasuo? Doinb's Yasuo? They are not buddies. What are Xiaohu and Doinb doing? Xiaohu dares to choose Irelia, and Doinb dares to choose Yasuo?" Zzitai began to doubt his life.

The factory manager looked at Scout and asked, "How good is Doinb's Yasuo?"

Scout touched his chin and said, "It's the same level as Xiaohu's Irelia."

"Hahaha..." Everyone in EDG laughed again.

Su Mo said: "He has the assistance of Gragas, so it is still somewhat useful, as long as Gragas plays well."

The factory manager agreed: "Indeed, the strategy of Gragas and Yasuo does not depend on whether Yasuo can play, but on the ability of Gragas."

Entering the game screen, Xiaohu's Ryze was indeed targeted in the middle lane, and RW's jungler and support went crazy to make trouble.

After helping the mid lane establish an advantage, the mid lane will feed back to the bottom lane.

However, Karsa went berserk in this game!
Karsa's Lee Sin killed like crazy and got 3-0 in ten minutes.

The strength of the jungle helped RNG establish advantages in three lanes, and eventually RNG defeated RW 3 to 1!

In this way, EDG's opponent in the finals is determined, RNG!

Classic pig-dog fight!

Seeing this result, Abu looked at the EDG team and said, "Now that our opponent has been determined, this is not the first time we have played against RNG. I believe you are all prepared."

The factory manager rubbed his hands and said, "RNG is good, we should play against RNG. This time we should prepare more for their bottom lane." The factory manager suddenly put his hand on Su Mo's shoulder and said, "Right, Xiao Mo."

Su Mo was stunned: "What's going on? Can't you just prepare yourself? Are you a jungler and am I a jungler?"

Meiko exposed it on the spot:

"Because he can't think of it, so he has to rely on you. If he can think of it himself, he won't give you a chance to show it."

The factory manager argued: "Tian Ye, can you please stop sowing discord between us? Is it necessary to distinguish between mine and his in my relationship with Xiao Mo?"

Abu interrupted, "Let's start preparing now and review all of RNG's playoff games first."

So the EDG team started to take action and continued reviewing the game until the early morning before going to rest.

Before going to bed, Su Mo took a look at his phone and found that Luo Xin had just sent a message in the group:
"Brother Mozi, let's go to bed. Good night."

It seems that they have just taken a break.

At the same time, it was on the hot search on Weibo.

#EDG VS RNG
Already number one!

There are still several days left for this competition, and the final has just been confirmed to be between RNG and EDG, and it's already so hot!
Su Mo clicked in to take a look, and sure enough, fans from both sides were already mocking each other:
“Blind guess EDG beat RNG 3-0.”

"Kill the pig, kill the pig in the final!"

"I think RNG will be successful if they win one game."

"Does Xiaohu dare to play Irelia in front of Scout? I'll chop off your head."

"Don't worry, RNG is different now than before."

Although EDG has won against RNG in various ways before, RNG fans are still confident now.

This phenomenon feels very strange from Su Mo's perspective, probably because he is not a fan of RNG.

The next day, all the EDG players came to the competition venue, but they were not there to play the game. They were there to shoot a promotional video for the finals, which had to be shot before every final.

The EDG players have gotten used to it. After all, they have been winning championships since last year’s spring season, and it’s always them, but the opponents are different.

After entering the venue and walking through the corridor, the view in front suddenly opens up.

There were quite a few staff members setting up the stage in front. In addition, the RNG members in team uniforms were gathered nearby, chatting.

All EDG members also came in team uniforms, which is an official requirement.

"EDG is here." Letme was the first to notice the EDG members, and the others followed suit.

Su Mo stepped forward and said, "Letme, long time no see. I didn't expect that my opponent in the finals this time would be you."

Letme touched his nose, feeling a little guilty: "Brother Mozi, I know you are very good at this game, please give me a chance to survive. In the finals, we will develop peacefully online."

Zizi answered: "If we really want to develop peacefully, you will be unhappy again. Brother Mozi directly picked Vayne in the top lane! How do you play if we want to develop peacefully?"

The factory manager's voice suddenly came: "How dare you! Can you play Vayne whenever you want? Aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"

Hearing this, everyone in EDG burst into laughter. They had all seen this joke on the Internet, but when it came from the factory manager's mouth, and he said it in front of everyone in RNG, the feeling was completely different.

Su Mo glanced at UZI. As expected, UZI was angry and walked forward:

"Mingkai, you're almost there."

The factory manager smiled and said, "I was just joking, don't get so excited, Uzi."

"Is that how you joke?"

Just then, Coach Heart came up and greeted Abu.

Heart said, "Everyone is very energetic, but now that we are ready, let's just shoot first and talk about anything else later."

Abu looked at the EDG players and said, "You guys should get ready too."

So the EDG members stood on the other side of the stage and began to prepare.

The coaches on both sides and Director J began to communicate, indicating that everyone had arrived.

The director then said, "I see that everyone seems to know each other. You should all have experience before, so this will be much easier. Let's go through each position one by one, starting with the top laner."

"Zz1tai from EDG, Letme from RNG."

Zizhi was a little surprised: "Where is Brother Mozi? Shouldn't Brother Mozi go up first? Did the director make a mistake?"

His attitude was so earnest, as if he was afraid that Su Mo would be bullied.

The director then said, "Contestant Mo will be arranged later. Don't worry. In fact, the order of appearance will not affect our editing afterwards."

"Oh, I see." Zizi nodded repeatedly, then walked over and sat face to face with Letme.

The director gave the order: "Let's get started, starting with Zz1tai."

Zzitai said: "Originally, I really wanted to play in the finals, even just one game, but when I saw that the top laner on the opposite side was Letme, I suddenly felt like I didn't want to play, fearing that he would lower my level."

Meiko snickered and said, "So direct? Zizi is just attacking in the face."

Letme was not to be outdone: "I bet you have no chance to play. You are making up an excuse to comfort yourself in advance."

Zzitai responded: "The only reason you can play in RNG is that RNG has no substitute top laner."

Letme blush and her cheeks turn red.

The factory manager smiled and said: "Are all RNG people like this? They blush when they get angry."

Su Mo teased, "You seem to be hinting at someone."

The factory manager looked innocent: "Really? No, you think too much."

Letme was speechless for a long time, and made crazy faces and mocked.

The director then said, "If Letme has nothing to say, let's switch to EDG's Clearlove8 in the jungle position and RNG's Karsa."

The factory manager went up and sat face to face with Karsa.

After Zizi came back, he asked Su Mo for credit: "Brother Mozi, am I handsome? I made Letme speechless."

Su Mo responded: "Who is better than you at talking?"

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Brother Mozi, you are really so nice to me." Zizhi was so happy.

Su Mo was confused. Was this a compliment? Only Zizi would answer like this.

Meiko, Iboy and Scout all subconsciously stood further away, as if they were frightened by the posture.

On the other side, the factory manager and Karsa were ready.

The factory manager said: "I remember when Karsa was in FW, he was a very good jungler with his own ideas, but since he joined RNG, he can't do anything except protecting the bottom lane."

Meiko muttered, "This is not right. This doesn't seem to be a mockery of Karsa, but a veiled attack on the bottom lane."

Su Mo smiled and said, "That's right. He and Karsa have no grudges, so there's nothing to say. So we can only talk about other people."

Karsa didn't seem to expect that the manager would suddenly change the topic to the bottom lane. He didn't react at first and paused before saying:
"For a qualified jungler, the best style is the one that can win the game. When I choose a style, I only consider whether I can win."

The factory manager responded: "Because other play styles have not been given the opportunity to practice, the middle and top lanes have been abandoned, so in the end we can only play around the bottom lane. If we give the top and middle lanes enough opportunities from the beginning, it won't be like this."

Su Mo smiled: "The factory is trying to sow discord. I feel that Letme and Xiaohu must have some ideas."

Meiko nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, Letme aside, Xiaohu is definitely ambitious, he definitely doesn't want to be suppressed all the time."

Su Mo glanced at the opposite side. UZI was staring at the factory manager, as if he wanted to rush up and confront the factory manager.

The factory manager's strategy was successful and he had angered UZI.

Karsa didn't know how to respond and remained silent for a long time.

The director then said, "The next position, mid laner, Scout from EDG, Xiaohu from RNG."

Scout and Xiaohu walked up, and the factory manager walked down with a winner's smile on his face.

Meiko stepped forward and teased, "Mingkai, sure, the best way is to attack their hearts. You are disrupting their morale."

The factory manager responded: "I am telling the truth. If they are disturbed, it proves that they already have the idea but just haven't said it out loud."

On stage, Scout was the first to speak: "Xiaohu is a very good mid laner, but strangely, I can't think of any signature hero for him."

After these words were spoken, everyone present was puzzled.

Meiko held her chin up, frowning, "It seems... it's true, really, there is no such representative hero. When we see the tree, we will think of A Guang, and when we see Kaisa, we will think of Mozi, but Xiaohu... I can't think of it."

Su Mo asked: "Tigger, Rengar?"

Meiko laughed: "He doesn't know how to play. When you see the lion dog, you will think of Sofm."

Scout's words made Xiaohu not know how to respond. He was probably thinking about it himself, and he changed the subject when he couldn't think of anything:

"I really want to know how much strength Scout will have if he leaves EDG, leaves this strong team, and leaves this system."

Scout asked a soul-searching question: "Do you think your teammates are not strong enough?"

Xiaohu was stunned after hearing this, and quickly said, "Of course not."

Then there was no more news. The factory manager joked, "You are still afraid of Uzi, Xiaohu. You don't even dare to tell the truth."

The director then said, "Next up, the ADC position, EDG's Iboy and RNG's UZI."

So Iboy and UZI walked forward, sat in their respective seats and began to prepare.

After getting ready, Iboy spoke first: "I know that in the eyes of many LPL viewers, UZI is the strongest ADC. There are also many people who mock me online, but when playing against UZI, I always win."

As soon as these words came out, the factory manager started to applaud: "Great! That's how we should do it. Give him a good slap in the face!"

Meiko quickly grabbed the factory manager and said, "Mingkai, keep your voice down. There are so many people here."

The factory manager has no time to take care of these things as he is now in a state of excitement.

RNG also reacted, and everyone was scared by Iboy. This was too bold.

Then, UZI responded: "But when I play against you, I always win."

Iboy retorted: "There is more to this game than just laning. Laning is just one part of it."

UZI responded: "If hugging thighs is considered winning, then it's up to you."

Iboy continued, "You can only win championships if you win the game. If you can't win the game, there will be no championships. You are so strong in the laning phase, you must have won many championships."
