LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 287: Take Rita to meet your parents?
Luo Xin nodded, and then she returned to Su Mo: "Brother Mozi, did you come to this conclusion because you have studied the games in other regions privately, or are you just saying it casually?"

Su Mo responded: "I can only say that I know the correct answer."

Luo Xin was stunned and didn't understand the situation.

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were all:

"What should I do? Should I trust Brother Mozi?"

"What are you doing? Are you trying to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle?"

"Just listen to Brother Mozi's words in reverse."

"But didn't he predict it right last time?"

Su Mo's views were so outrageous that most people were confused.

Luo Xin walked up to the factory manager and asked, "Factory manager, what do you think about this issue? Which division is the most difficult to deal with?"

The factory manager responded: "Of course it is LCK. Although the progress of the European and American regions in recent years is very obvious, the gap is also obvious. At present, there is no sign that they can surpass the LCK region."

The factory manager was very serious. In fact, he had not studied other regions. He just answered according to his own impression.

After Luo Xin asked a few more questions, the interview ended: "That's all for this interview. The 2018 League of Legends Professional League Summer Finals is over. Thank you for watching. See you in the S game!"

The audience began to disperse, and the EDG team took the trophy and returned to the lounge together.

"We are the champions!" He stopped pretending, hugged the trophy and cheered wildly, then took selfies with various funny expressions.

"Brother Mozi, how about taking a photo together?" He came closer with a flattering expression on his face.

"Don't do anything disgusting." Su Mo was already very familiar with the posture and was on guard.

"No, I'm not that kind of person." Zizhi picked up the phone, put the trophy beside it, put his other hand on Su Mo's shoulder, and then at the moment of taking the photo, he suddenly grabbed it with one hand.

Fortunately, Su Mo reacted quickly and blocked the vital parts with his hands.

"I knew it."

Zizi smiled and said, "Just kidding, don't get excited, Brother Mozi."

The phone beeped and Su Mo picked up the phone and took a look.

News from Mozige Interactive Entertainment Studio.

Luo Xin: "Congratulations! Congratulations! Brother Mozi won the championship! He is invincible!"

Rita: "Congratulations to Mozi for winning another championship. I wish him great success in the S-League!"

Luo Xin: "Ruthless iron hand, crippling blow!"

Su Mo smiled. He could already imagine Luo Xin being excited and active.

Su Mo: "Do you want to get up and eat? We are going to eat."

Luo Xin: "Okay, okay, I'm hungry too."

Rita: "If Mr. Abu agrees, thank you very much."

Su Mo: "It's not the first time, just come and wait for us at the door."

At this time, Abu greeted them, "Thank you for your hard work today. You all have contributed to this championship. Now let's pack up and go eat. Everything is ready, just waiting for us to come over."

So the EDG members started packing up and leaving the lounge together. As soon as they walked out, they ran into the RNG members who were about to leave.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother Mozi!"

The factory manager and UZI looked at each other and rolled their eyes. The more they looked at each other, the more annoyed they became.

After exchanging a few words with the RNG team, they parted ways.

After walking out of the competition venue, the EDG members ran into Luo Xin and Rita who were waiting.

Everyone knew what was going on, and the two came up to congratulate:

"Congratulations to EDG! Champions!"

"Manager Abu, Factory Director, Brother Mozi, congratulations..."

Abu responded, "Let's go eat together and talk about it over there."

So EDG's team grew larger, left the competition venue, got in the car, and headed straight for the hotel.

In the car, Rita asked, "Brother Mozi, during the interview just now, you said that the European and American teams in this S-League are more difficult to deal with. Are you serious?"

The factory manager spoke up first: "Don't listen to his nonsense. How could it be possible? He never watches games from other regions. It would be nice if he knew."

The factory manager crossed his arms over his chest, as if everything was under control.

Su Mo laughed and said nothing.

Rita understood that Su Mo really thought so. After all, they had been together for such a long time and they had some understanding of each other's temperament.

The factory manager continued: "As long as we can deal with KT this time, the other teams won't be a big problem."

Meiko muttered: "Deft... He seems to be integrating well with KT now, often carrying the game."

Zizi teased, "Tian Ye, are you nostalgic for the old times? You won't betray us when the time comes, will you?"

Hearing this, Meiko rolled her eyes and said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by nostalgia? We are just ordinary colleagues."

Zizi laughed slyly, "Hey, when Pilot was in EDG, your CP in the bottom lane was so successful, how could you be just colleagues?"

Meiko complained: "Don't think too much. You don't know if you will encounter it."

The factory manager said: "I think it is highly likely. Who else can beat KT except us? As long as we keep moving forward, we will definitely meet KT."

Su Mo glanced at Iboy, who seemed a little embarrassed and was playing with his fingers.

Su Mo is not a bottom lane specialist, so he doesn't know much about the goings on in the bottom lane and doesn't know what it feels like.

A moment later, the car stopped at the hotel entrance. Everyone got out and entered the hotel. They were immediately recognized by the waiter:
“EDG! It’s EDG!”

Many people who were eating inside looked over and greeted:
"EDG, champions! We are champions again!"

"EDG, go for it! Two consecutive championships!"

"E Mozi, I'm your fan! Come on Mozi!"

Some people were even watching the replay on their phones, probably because they missed something.

Abu greeted, "Thank you for your support, thank you."

After dealing with the fans, the EDG members came to the box. Su Mo found a seat and sat down. He took out his mobile phone and checked the pace online first.

#EDG 3-0RNG.

It has already topped the trending search list.

#MoziBrother, Europe and the United States are more difficult to beat than LCK.

This is the second most searched topic.

Su Mo clicked in and took a look at the comments below.

Sure enough, they were already arguing:
"What the hell? You can say anything to put down our LCK?"

"You guys are from LCK? Which country are you from?"

"EDG thinks they are great just because they won a championship? LCK will take everything back this year!"

"Han Za is anxious, Han Za is anxious!"

Su Mo actually did not mean to deliberately belittle LCK. Europe and the United States are indeed very strong this year.

However, from the perspective of LCK fans, their anger is understandable. After all, in their impression, the European and American regions are useless, and being said to be inferior to the European and American regions, it is inevitable that they are angry.

After a while, the dishes were served, and Abu said, "All the dishes are served, those of you who want to take pictures, hurry up!"

So everyone in EDG took out their phones and started taking pictures. Luo Xin also took out her phone and said:
"How about we take a photo together, three of us?"

Su Mo and Rita nodded.

Luo Xin leaned towards Su Mo: "Come, let's go together..."

As a result, Rita put her hand on Luo Xin's shoulder and said, "Luo Xin, you are pressing Brother Mozi."

"Oh." Luo Xin adjusted her posture and the three of them took a photo together.

Abu continued, "Everyone, please start eating. I guess you are all hungry."

So everyone in EDG started to feast on the food.

At this time, the factory manager asked: "Are we going to have a holiday? How many days will it take? When will we start training?"

Zzitai suggested: “Isn’t it in LCK this time? We can go there later. We don’t have to adjust to the time difference anyway, and we can play training matches with them in China.”

Meiko muttered, "Oh, it seems like that. Then there's no need to go there so early. It's much more convenient to be in our own territory."

After hearing this, Abu thought about it and seemed to think it made some sense.

After some thought, he said, "I'll discuss this with my boss. It sounds like a good idea. Training matches are played online anyway."

"Oh, by the way, the authorities may need to shoot some documentaries or something, and see if we can shoot it here. Anyway, we still need to ask."

Abu looked at the factory manager and said, "As for the holiday Mingkai mentioned, we will have a week off."

Zzitai exclaimed: "One week? That's too short. Isn't there still more than a month left? Only one week? It feels like the other teams have been playing for a long time, except for RNG."

Abu retorted: "You are the one who has played the longest. How many times have you played in the playoffs?"

"If you want to play, I'll let you play every day from now on."

Zizhi quickly admitted his mistake: "No, I was just kidding."

Abu continued, "Come back for training in a week. After the S-League game, there will be plenty of time for you to play."

After dinner, everyone in EDG went their separate ways, and Su Mo took Luo Xin and Rita back to the studio.

"Then let's get to work!" Rita sat in front of the computer and started editing the video.

Su Mo quickly said, "Don't worry. Everyone has worked so hard today. It will be the same if we cut it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Rita asked back: "But won't this cause the video to become less popular?"

Su Mo shook his head. "Of course not. This is the finals. It's different from the previous teaching videos and highlights videos. Now many viewers and fans are probably watching the replay. They want to experience the feeling of winning a few more times."

"So they are not very interested in the video we edited now. Some of them are out celebrating or having a midnight snack. Anyway, there is no need to rush to edit the video now."

Rita nodded: "That makes sense..."

Su Mo continued: "What are you going to do during this time? Do you have any plans?"

After hearing this, Luo Xin said, "Brother Mozi, do you want to come with me?"

Su Mo asked back, "Together? What for? I'm just asking. After all, I'm your class supervisor, so I have to find your schedule to arrange it."

Luo Xin muttered, "I'm going home to see my parents. I thought you were going with me."

"Cough cough cough..." RIta coughed twice and then said:

"Boss, what are your plans?"

Su Mo replied: "I'm planning to travel, but I haven't decided where to go yet. I'll think about it tonight."

"Hey! Traveling, I want to go too!" Rita was the first to jump out.

Rita looked over and said, "Didn't you say you were going home to see your parents? Why did you change your mind?"

Luo Xin replied, "I will stay at home for a few days at most, a week is enough, and I can travel in the rest of the time." Su Mo said, "I don't mind, if you want to come, come with me, it's a good opportunity to help me come up with ideas on where to go."

Luo Xin rolled her eyes: "Let's go to the beach! How about! Let's go to Hainan!"

"Sure, I haven't been there yet." Su Mo agreed.

"What about Rita, what do you think?" Su Mo looked at Rita.

"Ah? Me? Should I go too?" Rita seemed to be hesitating about something.

Su Mo replied: "It's not that you have to go too. This is not a work arrangement. If you don't want to go or have other things to do, forget it."

Luo Xin agreed, "That's right, Sister Rita, if you have something to worry about, just forget it."

"I'll go!" Rita agreed immediately.

"Okay, then we'll start editing the video tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and make preparations at the same time." Su Mo finalized.

Nothing happened overnight. The next day, Mozi Interactive Entertainment Studio started working. They finished editing the videos of two games in one day, and the rest of the work was easy.

Rita and Luo Xin purchased a lot of things online, all in preparation for their trip.

At the same time, the summer finals of each major region have ended. Su Mo noticed that the three participating teams of LCK have been decided: KT, AFS, and GEN.

Su Mo was looking at his phone when he suddenly saw a message in the EDG group. He clicked on it and took a look.

Clearlove8 sent a link.

Clearlove8: "Xiaomo, it seems like you are being targeted by LCK."

Su Mo clicked on the link and took a look, and found that it was a news page with a photo that looked quite familiar, GEN's top laner, Cuvee.

Su Mo glanced at the news. It turned out that a reporter was interviewing Cuvee. The reporter repeated what Su Mo said before that Europe and the United States are more difficult to play than LCK. Then Cuvee said:

"In fact, I also think that this year's Europe and the United States are more difficult to play than LPL. Player Mo has a good vision. I look forward to playing against him."

Then, the reporter asked: "Player Mo is very popular in LPL at present, and his MVP points are also the highest by a huge margin. If he meets Player Mo, will Player Cuvee be confident?"

Cuvee replied: "We must admit that Mo's playing style is very strange. Last year, we didn't have any preparation and we really didn't know how to deal with it. But now we have experience. If we prepare in advance, there will be no problem."

Su Mo smiled, and really stimulated them.

Su Mo looked down and saw some so-called screenshots from the Internet, mainly comments from LCK fans:
"Didn't this Mo only win one championship? I thought he had already surpassed Faker with four championships."

"Last year they won a championship, but they were still so arrogant. It seems like we must teach them a lesson this year."

"Damn it, this guy is so arrogant. If LCK can't beat him this year, I won't watch it anymore."

"Wasn't EDG very bad before? Why do they seem so good now?"

Seeing these comments, Su Mo remembered that before winning the S7 championship, the situation of LPL was similar to the current situation of LCK. Every year they expected to turn the tables and become the master. If LCK said something, they would pay close attention.

This is the mentality of the weak, the desire to win, the desire to be recognized.

Now, the status of both sides is being reversed, and LCK is beginning to become the one that needs to be recognized.

Maybe this is the turn of events.

There was new message in the EDG group, and Su Mo clicked it to take a look.

Meiko: "Hahaha, why do I feel like Brother Mozi has hurt them now and made them a little angry."

Iboy: "Given Mozi's current status, whatever he says can attract worldwide attention."

Mo: “Iboy is the best ADC in the world.”

Iboy: "Stop it, Brother Mozi, you will kill me."

Meiko: "I've taken a screenshot. I'm going to post it online. Hahaha. Get ready to be attacked, Xiao Zhao."

Another day passed, and the videos of the three final games were edited and uploaded. Su Mo and the other two were ready and set off together.

For the next half month, Su Mo spent time in hotels, beaches, amusement parks, and restaurants.

I have to say that the consumption here is really high. Su Mo's average daily consumption is over ten thousand.

Fortunately, we have the capital now.

With one week left before the start of the S-League qualifiers, Su Mo rushed to EDG's training base.

I haven't been here for a while, it feels quite fresh.

All the way to the training room, Su Mo heard the sounds of keyboard and mouse.

Walking to the door and pushing it open, Su Mo found that his teammates were all there and seemed to be playing a training match. Abu was standing behind the factory manager.

Su Mo walked forward and took a look. The opponent seemed to be FNC. The three letters FNC were in the opponent's ID.

The kill ratio is now 15:23, and FNC is leading by a lot.

The factory manager was giving orders: "Look for an opportunity to start a team fight, kill the AD, kill the AD."

However, before EDG found an opportunity to start a team fight, the opponent started it first.

"You can fight, you can fight."

"Wait for me, wait for me."

"I'm gone. I can't bear it."

"I can't beat him. I can't beat him."

FNC began to pursue normally, and EDG was defeated.

"Next one, next one." The factory manager took off his headphones immediately, the opponent was about to attack.

Abu started criticizing: "What did you play this time? How come you can't even beat FNC?"

"Only one win out of five games?"

The factory manager scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

The others also fell silent, some were playing with their fingers, some were looking at their phones.

Su Mo's voice suddenly came: "Factory, you are not good enough. You were beaten by FNC."

After hearing the noise, the factory director was stunned for a moment and seemed unresponsive.

Meiko's reaction was the quickest and most intense: "Brother Mozi, woooo, woooo, Brother Mozi you're finally back."

Meiko rushed over and hugged Su Mo's arm, fearing that Su Mo would run away.

Su Mo asked: "How is it? Do you feel that it is difficult to beat European and American teams now?"

Meiko nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's hard to fight, but it doesn't matter, as long as you are here."

The factory manager turned around and smiled happily at first, then his expression changed and suddenly became serious: "Why did you come now? We have a one-week holiday, and you have been playing for almost three weeks."

Su Mo smiled and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong."

He glanced at Abu, but Abu didn't say anything.

Zizhi appeared behind Su Mo and said in a tender voice, "Brother Mozi, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

Su Mo shuddered: "You're almost there."

Meiko criticized: "Zizi, if your gaming skills were half as good as your mouth, it wouldn't be so hard to beat."

Zizi was not ashamed but proud of it, and said with a smile: "It's mainly because Mozi is too strong, which makes everyone rely on the top laner. In fact, the top laner is just a bystander in this game."

The factory manager complained: "In this version, the top laners are so strong, and you actually said they are just there to make up the numbers? No wonder you can't practice well."

Su Mo came to his seat: "It's okay, you guys continue, it's time to review it, hurry up and review it."

Abu came over and asked, "Xiao Mo, now that the new version is available, should we discuss the new version's routines and play styles? I've been waiting for you to come back to discuss this issue."

Su Mo nodded: "Yes, let me take a look at the version description first."

Abu responded, "Okay, I'll take them through the game first, you just watch."

Abu then led the other EDG members to review the training match that had just taken place.

Su Mo opened the version notes, wanting to see which heroes had been changed in this version.

It turns out there are quite a few changes!
The Stray Thorn, Akali!

This is a reworked hero, less than half a month ago.

There are also many heroes that have been strengthened, including Syndra, Fizz, Irelia and so on.

The critical strike equipment has been changed, and the ADC has been greatly enhanced in this version.

There is another equipment change, the price of Storm Blade has been reduced!
This equipment would occasionally appear when Su Mo played Kaisa. Now that the cost-effectiveness has been improved, he can continue to release it.

However, Su Mo thought of another hero that is actually quite suitable for Stormbreaker, and most people haven't discovered it yet! He can try it out in the arena if he has a chance.

Su Mo quickly finished reading the version description while his teammates were still reviewing the game.

Taking advantage of this time, Su Mo chose to enter the forum to see the current trend on the Internet.

In the past half month, Su Mo's days were very fulfilling. He played all kinds of games during the day and ate, drank and entertained himself at night, so he had no time to pay attention to the situation on the Internet.

The forum is basically filled with posts discussing the S-League.

Su Mo found the first post interesting. Today, Riot named the top 8 players of S...

Su Mo clicked it and took a look.

Still starting from the 20th place, Su Mo chose "only look at the poster" and then looked from the bottom to the top.

First place, EDG, Mo.

Su Mo felt like his keyboard was leaking milk!

After all, looking at the rankings of the top 20 players in previous years, whoever ranks first is Irelia, it has become a list of toxic players.

The official review below is quite corny: "The savior of the LPL region, the FMVP of the S7 World Finals, a talented meta player who is competent in five positions, from the league to MSI to the Intercontinental Championship, Mo dominated one game after another..."

Su Mo thought that it couldn't be written by his fans, otherwise why would there be so many praises, as if there were no flaws at all.

Continue looking up, second place, UZI!

Su Mo was not very surprised. Although RNG had not beaten EDG for a long time, UZI still had dominance in the bottom lane.

The following paragraph also praised UZI in various ways, but Su Mo suddenly discovered something interesting: the uncrowned king!
UZI seems to have never won a championship yet!
This word does look a bit strange when placed in this scene. Is it a compliment or a sarcastic remark?

Third place, Clearlove8.

The factory director has arrived.

Su Mo glanced at the factory director next to him. The factory director was being criticized madly by Abu. He didn't look like a contestant who could be ranked third in the top 20.

Scout ranked fourth.

Su Mo discovered that four of the top five were from LPL!
Only the fifth place is Kiin, an LCK player. Of course, the following few places are also LCK players.

Among the top ten, only one, Casp, is from the European and American regions, and the other nine are either LPL or LCK players.

This time, LPL was praised to the sky.

After all, from last year's MSI to now, LPL has won all international competitions.

Of course, many people also think that this is toxic news and cannot reflect the real strength.
