LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 282: The top laner who can go wherever he wants!
The factory manager's male gun saw the opportunity and hit four people with one ultimate bomb, causing a lot of AOE.

"All the equipment I buy can reduce CD, and the cooldown time of my ultimate skill is very short." The factory manager explained.

At this moment, Graves used a W smoke bomb, causing Gragas, who seemed to be trying to start a team fight, to lose sight. Nidalee followed up with a Q skill, but Gragas couldn't see it. By the time he walked out of the range of the smoke bomb, Nidalee's Q had already reached his face and hit him again.

Gragas is already at half health.

This is not over yet. Zoë used her ultimate skill Flying Star to fly over the wall and smashed towards the RNG players, hitting Alchemist.

EDG's skills came one after another, and the RNG players were numb. How can they fight?
UZI urged his teammates to start a team fight: "Find an opportunity to start a team fight. We can't let them lead us by the nose."

The RNG players actually understand this principle. They can't start a team fight just because they want to.

Karsa was eager to try and said, "I have my ultimate. I'll find an opportunity."

However, Han Bing no longer goes up to the tower, and his position is more cautious than before.

Gragas tried to use his E skill to deal with the ultimate, but Ashe moved to the side. Although Gragas' ultimate hit the target, the angle was wrong and he failed to blast Ashe back directly.

Rita commented: "Gragas has used his ultimate, but it was mediocre. RNG is in a more difficult situation now. They have used up all their skills and can only watch EDG consume their opponent."

On the EDG side, Su Mo marked the opposing defense tower: "Go and destroy it. They don't have any skills now."

So Ashe and Graves went up to destroy the tower, and the health of RNG’s second tower in the middle lane dropped rapidly.

Xiao Ming's Luo went forward to try and made a grand appearance. He originally just wanted to put some pressure on him, but it turned out to be an opportunity. Meiko reacted quickly and used his Q skill to knock him up on the spot. Graves followed up with AQA, Nidalee threw his Q skill over, Zoe pulled a flying star, and Luo was killed instantly!

Guan Zeyuan commented: "They are anxious. RNG is visibly anxious now, but it is useless."

"RNG's second tower in the middle was taken down by force. Letme's Alchemist hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to go up. He could only watch the defense tower being taken down. The economic gap was 8,000 and was about to break through 10,000."

At this time, UZI on the RNG side shook his head and said, "Why can't you start a team fight? Is it so difficult?"

The RNG players looked at each other in bewilderment. In fact, if there was only one person coming, they would have used all their skills and flash and would definitely be able to get it, such as this Ashe.

However, judging from the situation just now, it would not be useful if too many skills were used to kill one person.

Moreover, the economy is far behind. If the team battle is not started well and the skills are used but the enemy is not killed immediately, it is possible that you will not be able to win later.

After achieving their goal, EDG chose to retreat and wait for a team fight.

Twenty minutes into the game, EDG's economic lead had exceeded ten thousand. Although there were no kills in the middle, RNG's jungle was basically contracted out, either to Nidalee or Graves.

Rita commented: "EDG had a sense of ease in this match, relying entirely on their game strategy to pull away from the opponent. The top laner punished Nidalee and blew up RNG's jungle."

"Letme and Mozi were on the same lane, but his development was actually pretty good. It was mainly because of the problem in the jungle."

Wang Duoduo laughed and said: "Letme is said to be on the line with Mozi, but in a game between the two of them, the actual time they are on the line is probably only one minute."

"The rest of the time, Nidalee was either clearing the jungle or harassing the mid lane. Now that the Baron has spawned, EDG is controlling the surrounding vision to see if they are going to attack the Baron."

Zzitai and Meiko came over to provide vision and control the vision near the dragon pit.

Ashe used her E skill. Gragas was in the lower jungle area, but after being discovered, he immediately went up.

At the dragon pit, EDG players pretended to fight first.

Sure enough, a divination orb fell down, exposing the position of EDG members.

Su Mo chose to stay close to the middle road and ambush in the bushes above the middle road.

The five RNG players gathered together to push the middle lane, and then walked towards the dragon pit from the middle lane.

Su Mo observed the routes of the RNG players, adjusted his position, walked to the bushes at the entrance of the wild area, and threw out a Q skill.

RNG was scouting the field of vision and placing a ward in the bush. When they entered the bush, a Q skill of Nidalee came from the side. By the time they saw it, it was too late and Alchemist was hit.

Letme twitched and was very scared.

His brain had already reacted and he needed to move, but his hands couldn't keep up and he lost half of his blood.

Guan Zeyuan explained: "If Alchemist loses so much health after being hit, I can't imagine what will happen to others."

"Neptune is playing guerrilla warfare with the RNG players, and the other EDG players are not continuing to fight for the Baron. They are ambushing!"

The moment Gragas approached the Baron pit, hypnotic bubbles flew down from the top of the Baron pit, passed through the wall, and hit Gragas.

Gragas uses his W skill and retreats with his E skill at the same time, and Zoë uses his Flying Star ultimate skill and hits it!

From a bird's eye view, EDG's players were very scattered, forming a fan-shaped encirclement, and RNG were surrounded inside!
"Just start!" UZI knew that being consumed like this would not work, so he wanted his teammates to start the fight directly.

But, no one can be seen now, so Zoila went back to Feixing. The distance is too far, how can she drive?

Suddenly, Ashe's E skill came over, followed by Ashe's ultimate skill, and the target was Gragas!
"Help!" Karsa felt something was not good. Luo was protecting Xia, and there was no time to take care of him. Gragas could only use his flash to retreat. But before he could finish, Nidalee's Q flew over from the direction of the wall below and hit Xiaohu's Ryze.

[Get torture points from Xiaohu +30]

Guan Zeyuan commented: "It's numb. RNG must retreat immediately, otherwise they will be tortured to death. The arms of EDG's heroes are too long, and they can attack beyond visual range. RN has no way to fight back."

On the RNG side, Karsa was already retreating, and the others had no choice but to follow.

Although UZI was very unhappy, it was impossible for him to rush forward alone.

On the EDG side, Su Mo commanded: "The hunt has begun! Chase!"

He switched to leopard form, jumped forward, and kept moving forward and backward with the RNG players. Then he switched to human form and threw a Q skill over. This time, the RNG players were alert and dodged.

However, their movement would slow down their retreat. Graves, Zoe, Ashe and Minotaur caught up with them from behind and the side. Zoe used the Pull Star, her ultimate, the Push Stick and the Hypnotic Bubble!

Although the flying star missed, the hypnotic bubble hit the barrel!

"Oh!" Karsa felt something was wrong.

Graves and Male Gun approached.

UZI decisively commanded: "You can fight, just start!"

So Luo saw the opportunity, and without saying a word, he used his ultimate to flash and control the Minotaur and Graves.

Xayah came forward to deal damage, but Alistar activated his ultimate and used his W to knock down Rakan, causing Rakan's grand appearance to be in vain.

Minotaur gave his crucible to Graves, and the control effect on Graves ended, and a smoke bomb was given to Ryze.

Ryze didn't use his W skill, so Graves used his E skill to retreat, and also used his Q to hit Ryze.

Nidalee's Q skill hit Ryze, and Ryze was already below half health.

Xia chased after the Minotaur who was using his ultimate to deal damage, while Alchemist started sprinting and rushed forward to find Graves, who used his ultimate and retreated.

Wang Duoduo commented: "RNG really wants to start a team fight now. Xia's output is not low. Can Alchemist carry Graves back? Graves used his E skill and retreated. Alchemist still couldn't reach him, so he continued to rush forward and carried him back! Gragas followed up with his ultimate, trying to blow Graves back, but Graves flashed away!"

"On the contrary, Alchemist is in danger. Minotaur pushes him back with his W. Nidalee switches forms with her Q. Human and spear combine into one. Alchemist is left with little health after a burst! Graves and Ashe follow up with their output and take the kill!"

Wang Duoduo continued: "Anido's ultimate has ended, but RNG has also lost some players. Xia doesn't dare to go up to deal damage, so EDG chose to go back and continue to fight for the Baron."

Rita praised: "EDG's pulling is getting more and more skilled. Everyone knows what they are going to do and there will be no inexplicable mistakes, making it difficult for the opponent to find and seize opportunities."

On the RNG side, the five players were already sweating profusely. This was the first game, and they felt that they were very physically exhausted before it was over. The main reason was that the intensity of the game was too high. They were making all kinds of calculations and positioning from beginning to end. If they were not careful, they might lose the whole game.

"Should we go and see the big dragon?" Xiaohu was at a loss now. He was only half-blood, and so was Gragas. Only Xia was in better condition.

"Of course we have to go. Is there still hope after giving up the Baron?" UZI asked back.

So the RNG players gathered together and headed towards the Baron pit again.

Gragas and Luo walked in front. Although they were not in good condition, they were the only ones who had to walk in front.

Nidalee's Q skill flew over, and the four RNG players moved together to avoid it.

UZI wished he could turn into an assassin and kill this Nidalee. This Nidalee was the one he hated the most.

Gragas was approaching the dragon pit. This time he learned his lesson and moved around first to test the waters. Sure enough, the hypnotic bubble flew over and passed by Gragas.

"Uzi!" Xiao Ming reminded him. Nidalee's Q flew over, and UZI quickly moved, so he picked up the hypnotic bubble directly.

Guan Zeyuan was shocked: "Ah? Uzi actually stepped on the hypnotic bubble by himself? Isn't that embarrassing?"

"Block it!" UZI called out quickly.

Zoe's ultimate skill came with flying stars, and Luo stepped forward to block it. Although he blocked it, Luo himself was left with little health.

This is not over yet. Meiko's Minotaur used a WQ to knock the Gragas standing in front of him through the wall. Ashe came out to deal damage. Gragas used his E skill and retreated. Before he took a few steps, Nidalee's Q skill flew over from the side.

"Hey! Help!" Karsa panicked.

Gragas moved back and forth and hesitated. Although he stepped back to avoid Nidalee's Q skill, it also allowed EDG to catch up and get the kill.

Xiaohu moved quickly, activated his ultimate move and prepared to run away: "Let's go, we can't fight."

There was no other choice, the RNG duo could only choose to use Ryze’s ultimate and retreat together.

So RNG gave up the Baron, and the Baron was easily taken by EDG.

The factory manager cheered, "Nice, nice brothers, how can they fight now?"

Meiko laughed and said, "This style of play is indeed quite comfortable. It feels like the opponent has no chance of resistance."

Su Mo said: "It also needs to be able to gain a huge advantage in the early stages. This lineup will lose its advantage if it is slightly smaller in the early stages."

The five EDG players returned to the city together for supplies, dealt with the side lane soldiers, and then pushed forward in a group in the middle lane.

The line of troops was quickly pushed to the front of RNG's middle lane high ground.

UZI gave an order: "Go straight ahead, go straight ahead when you see someone, don't hesitate." "Xiaohu, use your ultimate move and go over there, don't hesitate."

As soon as the EDG members appeared, Xiaohu used his ultimate move!

The ultimate move lands right behind Ashe, Minotaur and Graves!

Guan Zeyuan commented: "It's on! This time RNG was very decisive. Alchemist and Gragas used Ryze's ultimate together, and Luo rushed over from the front. The three EDG players were caught in the middle!"

On the EDG side, Su Mo commanded: "Second kill! Kill them in seconds!"

"Blind it!" Graves used a smoke bomb, Nidalee used her Q skill in advance, Zoë used her flying star ultimate, and Minotaur used her Q skill to knock away Gragas and Alchemist.

Graves used AQR, Ashe used W, and with the help of Flying Star and Nidalee's Q, Gragas' health bar flashed and then disappeared, he was killed instantly!
Alchemist only had a little health left, and Leopard Woman pounced on him and took his kill!
Rita commented: "RNG started the fight in a suicidal way. With Alistar among them, they just flew over like that. Isn't this courting death? Luo's ultimate charmed Ashe and Graves."

"Xayah and Ryze come up to deal damage, and their damage is not low. Ashe uses her ultimate, and Xayah can only evade with flying feathers. Hypnotic bubble! Zoe throws a hypnotic bubble over the wall, right under Xayah's feet!"

Suddenly, UZI's Xayah flashed forward, used the E skill to retract the feather, and created an explosive AOE!

Wang Duoduo exclaimed: "UZI flashed forward, he chose to flash forward, it seems that there is a chance..."

Nidalee used Q followed by flash to face-smash and killed Xia in seconds!
Wang Duoduo's voice suddenly stopped.

[Get Torture Points from UZI +50]

Guan Zeyuan explained in a tearful voice: "Xiaogou is down! The damage of this Nidalee is too high. Luo was also killed by Graves. Although Ryze killed Ashe, he is the only one left and can't defend."

After winning the team battle, EDG pushed forward.

First take the middle lane high ground, then the front tower and finally the base crystal.

Rita announced: "As the RNG base crystal explodes, let us congratulate EDG and congratulate them on winning the first game."

"In this game, EDG showed us their new understanding of the game and taught us a lesson on how to deal with Alchemist's minion break. I believe that Letme will not play this hero in front of Mozi in the future."

Wang Duoduo joked: "This game reminds us that we should not show off our skills before experts."

The game was over and the EDG players headed towards the lounge.

Su Mo glanced towards RNG and found that everyone in RNG had a relieved expression, except UZI, who was quite angry. He looked at the post-match settlement panel and shook his head.

It was obvious that they were tortured badly, especially Xiaohu and Karsa.

EDG returned to the lounge, and Abu greeted them, "Everyone performed very well in this game, with almost no mistakes. Keep it up."

"The pressure is on RNG now. We just need to let it go and see what changes they can make."

The factory manager joked: "I guess Uzi will have to hold a meeting with Zhong Shangye and criticize them one by one."

Meiko responded: "How did Letme come up with this? He actually played Alchemy in front of Mozi. When I saw RNG got Alchemy, I felt that RNG was going far away."

Zzitai came over and said, "In the entire LPL right now, how many top laners don't know how to play like Mozi? They are all learning, it just depends on how well they learn."

Abu agreed: "This is true. Other teams will learn our play style to some extent, especially in the top lane, so it's not surprising that Letme took out Alchemist, but he met his nemesis."

On the other side, the RNG players also returned to the lounge and were discussing how to play the next game.

Karsa refreshed and said, "I know that I am far behind Graves in the jungle this time, but I really can't do anything. I am fighting two people in the jungle alone, and the opponent's top laner also has punishment."

So everyone looked at Letme.

Letme defended himself: "I played according to the pre-match plan. I chose Alchemist to cut off the minion line, otherwise how could I play?"

Heart interrupted everyone: "Forget about the game that has just been played. Now is not the time to discuss this. The last Alchemy game was a test for us. The result of the test was that we failed. Just don't use it in the future."

"Now let's see how the next game goes."

Xiao Ming said:
"I feel like EDG is getting harder and harder to deal with. Their control of distance and damage in the last game was terrifying."

Letme responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I feel the same way. EDG didn't seem so scary before, but now even the factory manager is getting better and better."

UZI retorted: "Forget about Mingkai, he is a king of winning without doing anything. In EDG's current state, you can still win if you let a dog play in the jungle."

Letme touched his nose. He knew that UZI and Zzitai had a conflict, so it was difficult to say anything.

UZI continued: "If you can't win the game because you are carrying the team, then play bottom lane and choose heroes that can be useful in teamfights."

Xiaohu and Letme nodded repeatedly.

The short break is about to end and the second game is about to begin!

At the commentary booth at the game, Guan Zeyuan explained:
"Welcome back. The second match between the two teams is about to begin. EDG is currently leading by one point. RNG needs to cheer up."

Wang Duoduo continued: "Indeed, EDG's dominance in the LPL is getting stronger and stronger. Other teams have to work harder to keep up. We can't always rely on EDG alone in the S League."

The players from both teams returned to the court. Su Mo took his seat and put on headphones amid the cheers of the audience. The second game began and the BP phase began.

In this game, EDG is on the blue side and RNG is on the red side.

BAN position situation:
EDG: EZ, Lucian, Xia
RNG: Troll, Steel Shadow, Nightmare.

Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "RNG continues to target the top and jungle, and EDG also chooses to continue to target ADC. Unless RNG's other lanes can stand out once, I estimate that EDG will continue to BP like this."

Wang Duoduo agreed, "Indeed, Xiaohu, Letme, and Karsa, come on and share the pressure on the bottom lane. Now that Kaisa has been released and EDG is on the blue side, they have a chance to grab it."

Rita has a different opinion: "Facing RNG's bottom lane, it's quite stressful to directly pick Kaisa, and it's easy to have problems in the laning phase. Of course, if EDG picks it, it means they already have a way to deal with it."

Entering the hero selection stage, EDG on the blue side got Kaisa on the first floor.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "Here it comes! Kaisa is here. RNG chose to let EDG choose. They must have been prepared. Can EDG's bottom lane withstand it?"

The director gave a close-up of RNG's bottom lane. At this time, UZI had a cruel smile on his face with a hint of disdain.

The director gave another close-up of Iboy. Iboy looked quite relaxed and didn't have too many emotions.

To put it bluntly, when Kaisa is picked immediately on the first floor, it means that they think they are strong enough in laning phase and can maintain stable development in the lane, which is somewhat provocative to UZI.

Moreover, if it is in a BO5, if the opponent picks Kaisa immediately, and you cannot defeat him in the laning phase, then the opponent will definitely continue to pick it later, so the BP will be passive.

RNG got Ashe and Braum on the first and second floors.

Rita analyzed: "RNG got the Freljord duo in the bottom lane. This combination is actually quite strong in the laning phase, especially against an ADC like Kaisa who has a short range of basic attacks. It is easy to get killed in the lane."

"Of course, the biggest problem with using Frost to fight Kaisa is that you can't delay the fight. If you delay it to the late game, the difference in the effectiveness of the two hundred million retrogrades in the teamfight will be huge."

EDG got Pike and Taliyah on the second and third floors.

Wang Duoduo was confused: "Ah? Why don't you just pick Kaisa? Why pick Pyke? Pyke is very weak in laning. This combination will be beaten in laning."

"If the ADC is Ezreal, I can understand it. Ezreal can handle the pressure and play alone in the bottom lane, letting Pike roam. But Kaisa can't do that. If the support leaves, Kaisa will have to face the wall and reflect on her mistakes."

The director gave a close-up of the two duos again. UZI and Xiao Ming were talking and laughing, and they seemed to feel that this game was a sure win.

On the EDG side, the situation was similar. Iboy and Meiko were very relaxed and did not show any nervousness or pressure.

RNG locked Ornn on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

RNG banned Gangplank and Aatrox.

EDG also banned Ryze and Galio.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "Now EDG only needs to focus on the top lane. As long as there are no problems in the top lane, there is great hope for this game."

Wang Duoduo agreed: "That's right, I even think that if the operation is good, RNG's bottom lane combination can operate two against three in the early stage. I don't know what EDG is thinking."

RNG got Pig Girl on the fourth floor.

It was EDG's turn. EDG locked down Leblanc and Mundo on the fourth and fifth floors.

Rita muttered, "Brother Mozi actually chose Mundo?"

Guan Zeyuan looked over and said: "Rita, don't you know why EDG chose this? It seems that EDG's lineup in this game is really weird."

RNG finally got the Clockwork on the fifth floor, and the lineups of both sides were determined:

Blue side EDG: Top Mundo, Jungle Taliyah, Mid Leblanc, ADC Kaisa, Support Pike

Red side RNG: Ornn on top, Sejuani on jungle, Clockwork on mid, Ashe on ADC, Braum on support

Entering the game screen, the factory manager began to lead the pace: "Act according to the plan! Meiko, pay attention to the field of vision."

Meiko responded: "No problem, I understand."

In fact, this is also EDG’s routine. Being able to choose Kaisa on the first floor means they are naturally prepared.

The director gave information about the skills and talents of the ten summoners on both sides.

Guan Zeyuan explained: "Let's see what's different about Mozi's Mundo. In this game, he continues to use Unsealed Secret Book, which is a good talent. He can decide the summoner skills according to his own needs."

"Wait, the lanes changed? EDG suddenly changed lanes? Huh? Is this EDG's way?"

Rita guessed: "I think it's like this. Lane switching can avoid the opponent's strong bottom lane. Also, Mundo is now strong enough to withstand pressure. He has been greatly enhanced. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the top laner now."

"In comparison, it is much more difficult for Ornn to develop than Mundo."

RNG seemed unaware that EDG was changing lanes. On the screen, the lane divisions of the RNG players were all normal.

This is not over yet. The director gave a close-up of Pike, who entered the Baron pit, used his E skill to enter the upper half jungle area of ​​the opponent, as if he was going to cause trouble!
