LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 303 Semi-finals! Hehehe, I just hid!
Meiko couldn't help but say, "No one helped to block this? How many stupid mistakes did RNG make in this game? I can't even count them all. This is outrageous!"

Abu sighed, "Alas, they definitely don't have any internal communication right now. No one is helping to block the bullets in this situation. The resurrection armor is too important for Nightmare. How are they going to fight in the team battle later?"

The game continued and G2 began to give opportunities. A team fight broke out in the middle lane and G2 once again gave all their skills to the support.

Although Xiao Ming was killed, all five G2 players were left with low health.

Unfortunately, RNG failed to retain the players and had to give up.

Zzitai complained: "This G2 is also weird. Why do they keep targeting a support to kill? Olaf flashed and used his ultimate just to kill a low-health Thresh. I can only say that they are evenly matched and both are weird."

The game time reached 2 minutes, and G used the vision advantage to kill the big dragon.

Although their lineup is not good, they have good equipment and are not slow in killing the big dragon.

RNG discovered the situation and came over to defend, G2's support sold himself out, and the others left first.

In the end, RNG chased down the jungler and killed him, two people were exchanged for a big dragon, what a loss.

Su Mo analyzed: "G2 couldn't get to the high ground before because they didn't have the Baron buff. Now the situation is different. It will be difficult for RNG to defend."

Meiko agreed: "It's quite difficult, with a 10,000+ gold gap and the Baron buff."

"The best scenario I can think of is to use the high ground to buy time for the Baron buff. If we can hold off the buff, it's acceptable. RNG still has a chance to get six items with this lineup."

G2 started to push the troops in all three lanes to put pressure on them.

Move Ryze and Sivir apart so that the minion line can easily hit the defensive tower.

Sure enough, facing the three lanes of soldiers, RNG began to focus on the front and not the back.

Meiko sighed and said, "Although G2 made a lot of mistakes, their thinking was quite clear. Now it's not just a matter of losing one lane of high ground, but all three lanes of high ground are going to be lost."

"Why don't we start a new wave? Otherwise, what's the point of playing if we lose the high ground on the third lane?"

Sure enough, RNG thought so too. Thresh's hook hit the cannon cart, and when the opponent wasn't paying attention, he suddenly flew over and used his E skill to sweep the opponent's Sorcerer back!

Nightmare activates his ultimate skill and sends Fate Master flying, while Sivir steps forward to deal damage.

Iboy suddenly got excited: "Hey! What is Uzi doing? Why is he going to confront the Master? The Master has a resurrection armor, let his teammates fight, he can just fight the front line."

An outrageous scene appeared again, Sivir and the Fate Master faced each other, and Olaf rushed to Sivir's face and dealt damage.

Although he cooperated with his teammates to finally get the Juggernaut's Resurrection Armor, Sivir was also taken down.

Zizi was stunned: "Ah? No, wouldn't it be a loss to exchange it like this? Why?"

Spreading hands to show incomprehension.

After UZI's Sivir was killed, RNG's team battle was defeated.

In the end, RNG was pushed down in one wave and lost to G2 -.

The factory manager shook his head and said: "Uzi's mentality is really not good. He has no chance of winning the championship if he plays like this. He does this kind of thing at a critical moment."

Abu was furious: "If you guys fight like this, I will smash the lounge. It's infuriating to watch. We were clearly ahead in strength, but we still lost so badly."

Abu smiled and said: "Don't worry, our EDG is much better than RNG in terms of mentality."

Su Mo checked his phone and saw that the number one trending search term on Weibo, Tik Tok, and Tieba was the same one.

#RNG2:3G2
The second one is funny

#Why not pick up lanterns?

Su Mo could already imagine the anger of RNG fans.

The reason for being angry is not that RNG lost to G2, but that they made too many low-level mistakes.

Despite so many low-level mistakes in the previous game, RNG was still able to win in a team fight.

What if these mistakes didn’t happen?

This kind of thought is the most tormenting.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t win, but the big problem is if you can win but waste your opportunity.

The LPL group was very quiet, and no one mocked EDG and IG. It's okay to joke around at other times, but it shows your EQ is too low to talk at this time.

Abu greeted, "Then the top four spots have been confirmed. We will play against KT, and IG will play against G2. This is a good result for our LPL region. We still have a chance to meet in the finals."

"From now on, we have to focus all our energy on KT. And then, we have to adjust our mentality, our mentality, our mentality. Don't be like RNG, okay?"

So the EDG team continued to resume training.

In the evening, Su Mo played with his mobile phone before going to bed, and there was a message in the Mozi Interactive Entertainment Studio group.

Luo Xin: "Brother Mozi, why did RNG lose? I don't understand why they lost. What were they doing in the last game?"

Luo Xin: "I'm so annoyed. I'm so angry that I can't sleep."

Rita: "Don't bother Brother Mozi anymore. Brother Mozi needs to rest well to prepare for the competition."

Su Mo responded: "Don't tell anyone else. I think RNG lost because of their mentality. Strength is not the main factor."

"From the beginning of the game, their mentality was already very bad, especially in the first wave, when they were caught dead by the opponent by chance in the bottom lane, and their mentality almost exploded. For what happened afterwards, I can only say that their mentality affected their operations."

Luo Xin: "Hey, Brother Mozi, you have to keep a good attitude. Don't be like RNG."

Luo Xin: "Brother Mozi, do you have any troubles? Tell me, maybe I can help you?"

Su Mo was stunned. Really not.

Rita: "Okay, what bothers Mozi the most right now is that you disturb him. He wants to sleep, you know?"

Su Mo fell asleep.

In the next few days, training, training, training!

RNG is facing the strongest cyber violence in history!

Abu didn't have time to gloat, he was scared!
He is worried that EDG will have similar problems and is on high alert!
The team's psychological counselor was also specially asked to chat with each EDG player one by one to see if there were any problems with their mentality.

There will be no problem with that of course.

A few days passed quickly and the semi-finals began!

EDG vs. KT!

The game scene, backstage, and in the EDG lounge.

The EDG members were waiting for the game to start, and Su Mo was playing with his phone and checking group messages.

IG, Jackeylove: "Will EDG also fail? Come on EDG."

IG, Ning: "It's okay. If EDG can't beat them, we still have IG. We IG will bring the trophy back to LPL."

EDG, Zz1tai: "Ning Mazi, don't dirty my trophy. I'll take it myself."

IG, Ning: "You made me laugh, can you play? I just want to ask you."

EDG, Zz1tai: "I don't need to play against you IG."

IG, Ning: "Wow, you're so awesome, you should beat KT first."

Abu suddenly called out, "We need to determine the lineup for the first game. Let's go with the starting lineup, or?"

Everyone looked at Su Mo, thinking that there might be changes on Su Mo's side.

Su Mo responded: "I'll play bottom lane this time, we can try that lineup."

On the other side, at the game site, Wawa explained:

"Hello, audience friends, the semi-finals of this S game are about to begin, with the No. 1 seed from the LPL region, the defending champion EDG, facing the No. 1 seed from the LCK region, KT."

"Both teams have performed perfectly so far. I believe this will be a very exciting BO5."

Miller continued: "These past few days have been mixed for the LPL region. At first we thought there would be three LPL teams in the semi-finals, but who would have thought that RNG would fall on the way to the quarter-finals. It's a pity."

"I hope EDG can live up to everyone's expectations and help our LPL region get a spot in the finals first."

Rita is full of confidence: "I think EDG is trustworthy. Although the opponent is very strong, the victory will belong to EDG in the end!"

"We have received news from the frontcourt. EDG's starting lineup has been confirmed. Zziti will play. Fans, don't worry. Mozi has not been replaced. He will go to the bottom lane!"

The host came on stage, and after a brief opening speech, he invited the contestants from both sides to come on stage:

"Let us welcome the No. 1 seed from the LPL region, E! D! G!"

The EDG team came on stage, and the EDG fans cheered in unison:

"EDG! EDG!"

Starting with Zizi in the top lane, one by one, the EDG players walked onto the stage.

Everyone's data was displayed on the big screen. When it was Su Mo's turn, there was a burst of exclamations from the audience.

Su Mo's data can only be described as outrageous. He is basically number one in every statistic, and is far ahead. The director even put the second place's data below for comparison.

"Now, let us welcome the No. 1 seed from the LCK region, KT!"

It's KT's turn.

Top laner Smeb, jungler Score, mid laner Ucal, ADC Deft, support Mata!

Ten people from both sides came on stage, stood face to face in the middle of the stage and shook hands.

Su Mo faced Deft, and Su Mo glanced at Meiko.

It turned out that Meiko was also watching Deft.

So after shaking hands and turning around, Su Mo teased, "Meiko, you won't stab me in the back, will you?"

Meiko smiled and said, "That depends on the performance."

"You mean it's possible? So scary?" Su Mo pretended to be scared.

The factory manager took it seriously. He said, "Tian Ye, don't mess around. This game is crucial."

Meiko rolled her eyes: "What do you take me for?"

Su Mo came to his seat, put on his headphones, and got everything ready to enter the BP phase of the first game!

BAN position situation:
EDG: Xia, Lucian, Varus
KT: Kaisa, Vayne, Kalista

Wawa exclaimed: "Six ADCs! Both sides banned six ADCs right away!"

"Mozi's switch to the bottom lane has made KT very wary. We definitely can't give Kaisa away. Mozi played Kalista very well before and was very strong in the laning phase. But this Vayne..."

Rita reminded him, "This is what Mozi used in the final game of last year's S League. It's a game that changes fate, the Night Hunter."

Miller smiled. "You know all about it, Rita."

Entering the hero selection stage, KT on the blue side got Syndra on the first floor.

Wawa commented: "Wow! Go straight to Syndra? It seems that Ucal is very confident in himself. I feel that Scout can use Irelia or Leblanc, heroes that can put pressure on Syndra."

"In terms of operation, Scout is definitely not inferior to Ucal, so be braver." It was EDG's turn, and EDG locked on Leblanc and Aatrox.

Miller became excited: "That's right! These are the heroes that can win the game, Aatrox, LeBlanc, when you bring out these heroes, I feel very confident."

KT locked in Sivir and Thresh on the second and third floors.

Rita analyzed: "Mata's Thresh is quite good. As for Sivir, she is a relatively stable hero, suitable for the late-game big carry style. KT has a lot of trust in Deft."

EDG got the Nightmare on the third floor.

Rita praised: "EDG's mid, top and jungle feel very aggressive and confident, which really makes people feel at ease."

"However, EDG still hasn't picked up an ADC. I think KT will continue to restrict them in the second round."

Entering the second round of BP, EDG banned Xin Zhao and Olaf.

KT also banned Draven and Fatethorpe.

Wawa commented: "I feel like all the shooters that Mozi has played have been banned. KT won't give him any chance to survive. What is Mozi going to do now?"

EDG locked Alistar on the fourth floor, while KT got Irelia and Taliyah on the fourth and fifth floors.

Wawa commented: "Smeb is fighting Irelia. I feel a little pressure in the top lane. Normally, Aatrox fighting Irelia should have no problem developing in the lane. She can still fight at a higher level."

"But this is Smeb's Irelia after all, so we should respect her."

Miller joked: "Are you worried about Smeb's Irelia or Zzitai's Aatrox? You don't seem to be telling the truth."

Wawa smiled and said, "Maybe it's both, that's all I can say."

At this moment, EDG locked on Rat on the fifth floor.

Rita muttered, "Rat? I'm more surprised that he didn't choose a soft support. Usually Rat needs a soft support to perform well in team battles, but Mozi must have his own routines and ideas."

The lineups of both teams have been determined:

Red side EDG: Top Aatrox, Jungle Nightmare, Mid Leblanc, ADC Twitch, Support Minotaur

Blue side KT: Top Irelia, Jungle Taliyah, Mid Syndra, ADC Sivir, Support Thresh
Entering the game screen, the factory manager began to lead the pace:

"Develop first, develop first, develop first, wait for me to be level 6!"

Meiko responded, "Got it. We will definitely hide in the bottom lane and not cause any trouble for you, so that you can grow to level 6 in peace."

Zzitai began to ask for help: "Boss, the opposing top laner is Smeb! It's Irelia, you guys need to come to the top lane to take care of me, otherwise I might collapse."

The factory manager complained: "Can you be a little more promising? Isn't it just Smeb? He has passed his prime, and you can't beat him?"

Zizi muttered, "If you can do it, go ahead."

"what?"

"It's okay. I mean, it's a nice day today."

The director gave the summoner skills and talents of the ten players on both sides.

Wawa commented: "In this game, Rat brought Flash and TP, which is understandable. His laning ability is a little weak, so he has a higher tolerance rate with TP."

"On KT's side, Thresh is weak, so he should be used to target Nightmare and Leblanc. KT doesn't have much confidence in gaining a lane advantage in the bottom lane, otherwise they should bring Ignite."

Miller agreed: "Indeed, it felt like both sides were quite cautious in the first game and chose a conservative style of play."

Level 1. Neither side is causing any trouble, and the game starts normally.

Su Mo and Meiko helped the factory manager to open up the jungle, and then returned to the bottom lane to fight normally.

Deft's playing method is very simple. At level 1, you choose the W skill, which is used to push the minion line and consume health at the same time.

But now I don’t have any equipment and the damage is very low.

In the top lane, Aatrox is laning against Irelia. Smeb is very aggressive and uses Q to stack his passive at level 1.

The second wave of soldiers came, upgraded to level two, passive fully stacked, double blades.

Fortunately, Zizi had also reached level two, and he decisively used the E skill to pull away, but missed.

"You scared me! This guy is really violent. Can't he just develop well?" Zizi muttered.

In the middle lane, LeBlanc is laning against Syndra. Scout's LeBlanc is also very aggressive and is always looking for opportunities. Syndra is also trying to consume the opponent's energy, so the laning intensity is at its maximum.

Three and a half minutes into the game, the factory manager went up to GANK.

"Get on the road and get ready to take action."

The troops in the top lane are pressing towards EDG, and it seems that the opportunity is indeed good.

Zizi has always been playing defensively, saving his E skill to dodge the Twin Blades, so so far, he has only missed a few attacks and is in pretty good shape.

But, from God's perspective, it's another matter.

Wawa commented: "This Taliyah has good awareness. He went straight from the lane into the bushes and came to the middle bushes. EDG couldn't see him."

"He probably thinks that the top lane is very easy to be ganked, so he came over to counter-gank. If Zz1tai takes action, it will be very dangerous."

Miller continued: "Both midlaners are not in very good condition and are constantly exchanging blood. Although they have TP, they may not necessarily support the top lane. Even if they do, a three-on-three situation feels like KT has an advantage, after all, they are counter-camping."

As the commentator was speaking, the factory manager started to take action!

The factory manager came over from the river and wanted to take action. Zzitai's Aatrox used a Q1 and followed up with the E skill to close the distance, knocked Irelia away, and hit her with a Hellfire Chain!
"Hit! He can't get away!" Zizi was overjoyed. Aatrox followed up with Q2, hitting it diagonally again. Knife Girl was pulled back, and Aatrox followed up with Q3! Knife Girl gave up her W skill to reduce the damage.

Nightmare has come from the river and approached Irelia to use the E skill.

However, at this moment, Taliyah's rock cliff appeared under Nightmare's feet, and Nightmare was knocked away. Then Irelia followed up with an E skill, and Nightmare could not use the W skill and was controlled by the enemy.

Irelia flashes away, first interrupting Nightmare's E skill, and then uses her Q skill to deal close damage to Nightmare.

"We can kill him! Kill him first, it's too early for Aatrox's Q." Smeb's thinking is very clear. Now Aatrox has no damage left, and the most he can do is basic attacks.

As long as you deal with Nightmare first, and wait for the CD of Sword Demon's next Q to be ready, his Twin Blades will be almost ready, and you can continue to fight.

Nightmare's health dropped rapidly, and Zzai chose to use flash to retreat. Irelia followed up with the second stage of Q, and Taliyah followed up with flash and Q.

At this moment, the bottom lane reminded: "The opponent's rat is gone."

Smeb and Score didn't take it seriously, but Ucal in the middle lane stepped back.

"I just hid!"

Suddenly, Rat appeared behind Taliyah and Irelia!
"Xiba? What's going on?" The moment he saw the mouse, Score began to doubt his life.

But there was no other way, they could only continue to attack, bearing the output of the rat, and kill the nightmare first.

With the first blood bursting out, Irelia took down Nightmare's head.

Rita explained: "Although Nightmare was killed, the two opponents couldn't escape. Rat used his E skill to kill the low-health Knife Girl, refreshed his Q skill, and activated his Q skill to chase forward."

"Tialah still wanted to leave, but the Sword Demon's E skill closed the distance, and a Hellfire Chain hit him, Q1 knocked him up, and he couldn't leave! He was pulled back! Q2, Q3, and Rat finished with another E skill, killing him twice!"

Wawa continued, "Brother Mozi completed a double kill and is now on a roll. The most difficult part for Rat was the early stages, but now that he has two kills, he feels comfortable."

At this time, the EDG team's manager cheered, "Nice! The other side really got fooled! Xiao Mo, how did you know the other side's jungler was in the top lane?"

In fact, Su Mo TPed to the military line in advance. When the factory manager took action, Su Mo had already reached the top lane and came over in stealth.

Instead of TPing after the fight in the top lane, it will be too late.

Su Mo replied: "It can only be said that the probability is the highest, but he may not come. Even if he doesn't come, a kill of Knife Girl is still a kill."

Zizi smiled and said, "It turns out that Brother Mozi has two plans. He is really strong."

Su Mo returned to the city for supplies and went back to the bottom lane to develop. Although he lost two waves of soldiers, it was okay if Meiko took them.

On KT's side, Smeb and Score were still dizzy.

They couldn't understand why the mouse suddenly appeared, even though they didn't see any TP of the mouse.

Smeb deduced: "He must have given TP. There is a possibility that they planned to play 3v1 from the beginning, so Rat gave TP in advance, which we didn't see."

Score responded: "That's the only way to think of it. Assume he has no TP."

In the bottom lane, Su Mo now has the Vampire Scepter, which makes laning much easier. Even if he loses some health due to Sivir's Q and W, he can quickly recover it.

Deft had no choice, Sivir was not a hero who could strongly suppress opponents in the laning phase, so he could only develop first.

Six minutes into the game, Zzitai and Smeb started fighting in the top lane.

Irelia used Q to attack the minions, a double-edged sword. This time, Master Yi used his E skill but it was predicted.

So Irelia gave up RQ, combining any big skills into one, and dealt damage at close range.

The Sword Demon used his ultimate skill, fighting and retreating, but was still resurrected.

As soon as she stood up, Irelia used her next E skill.

"Dodge!" Zzitai used his E skill. This time it was not a prediction. However, although the Sword Demon moved out, Irelia's E hit him first, so he moved away. However, he was still controlled and affected by the passive effect.

"No?" Zizi realized that he was doomed.

Sure enough, Irelia used Q to attack, and Aatrox flashed back. Irelia used Q to enter the defense tower and get a kill, then walked out of the defense tower's range and used W to block the last shot, and she survived!

Wawa exclaimed: "This Irelia's operation is really smooth. Zizi barely had a chance to fight back. She was beaten the whole time and even used Death Flash, maximizing her losses."

Rita agreed: "Smeb is still as good as ever. He may not be as good as he was in his prime, but he is still a top-notch top laner."

The game continued. In the middle lane, Scout went up at level 6 to fight and triggered Syndra's flash. He was hit by Syndra's ultimate and became passive, but overall he was in better condition.

"The opponent's mid laner didn't flash." Scout pushed the line of troops over.

The factory manager knew what was going on: "By the time I reach level 6, the Syndra on the other side will already be dead."

Su Mo teased, "Is the factory so confident? Do you want me to help you?"

The factory manager smiled confidently: "You want to steal the kill, but forget it, I can handle it. I just need my ultimate skill."

"For a mid-lane player who has no displacement, if he doesn't have flash, he's doomed."

Eight minutes into the game, Zzaizhang's Nightmare came to the side of the middle lane tower, and this time he came with his ultimate move.

It is relatively easy for the hero Nightmare to launch a GANK, and the vision cannot be defended. The opponent definitely has no vision of him now. But it is enough for Zz1tai to fly over.

"Get ready." The factory manager gave the signal.

Scout pretends to develop normally, allowing the opponent's Syndra to take a more advantageous position.

The factory manager saw the opportunity and said, "Do it!"

"Lift the curtain!" Nightmare used his ultimate skill and went straight towards Syndra!

After landing, use the E skill, Syndra uses QE, and Nightmare's W cancels it out.

"Get her!" The factory manager felt that he had got the kill, and LeBlanc followed up, QRE, and Syndra's health was almost down.

However, at this moment, a rock appeared under Nightmare's feet.

"No..." The factory manager didn't have W and flash, it was embarrassing!
