LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

After the game, everyone in EDG took off their headphones, stood up, and walked towards the lounge.

Back in the lounge, Abu came up to greet them and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Although there were some twists and turns and many mistakes, the result is good."

"Let's review the game first, and then think about how to play the next game."

So the EDG team started to review the game. After seeing Su Mo's Sylas explode, Meiko was also tempted: "When Mozi said I could practice Sylas at first, I thought it was a bit weird."

"But now I feel it's really okay. If the opponent doesn't have a very strong laning combination, plus there are a lot of good ultimates, I can use it to play around."

Abu said: "The priority of mid and top is definitely higher than that of support. Of course, you can use it as a swing hero. If the opponent in the mid and top gets a targeted hero, it is not impossible to swing to the support position."

Jiejie said: "I think Jungle Sylas can also be tried."

Iboy laughed: "Hey guys, you all want to play this hero, right? I think you say that because you think he's fun."

Meiko responded: "To be honest, it's really fun. I don't think there has ever been a hero that can steal the opponent's skills. This is the first one, and the one that steals is the ultimate skill."

After the review, Abu said: "We don't need to make too many changes in the next game. Now we should find a way to deal with WE. We should remain unchanged in the face of all changes."

On the other side, in WE's lounge, the WE players were also discussing tactics.

After seeing the replay of the top lane, everyone in WE was also shocked.

957 complained: "This hero's burst is really abnormal. I have so much health but he killed me with just one skill."

Xiye nodded: "This hero is quite exaggerated. You say he is an assassin, but he is not squishy at all. He is quite tanky, and his W lifesteal is very exaggerated. You say he is a warrior, but his burst is very high. If he develops well, he can easily kill squishy targets."

Beishang responded: "Just ban him in the next game. This hero has been brought out, so we can't bring out some heroes, such as Kennen and Galio. If he steals this ultimate, it will be difficult for us to play."

Everyone in WE nodded. There was no other way now, so the easiest way would be to just ban it.

957 continued, "I didn't play well in the last game. Brother Mozi is still too strong. I will handle the pressure in the next game, and you guys will focus on the lower half."

Beishang did not refuse, in fact he also wanted to do so.

If you capture the middle and bottom lanes, at least you won't be in a one-on-two or two-on-three situation. But if you capture the top lane, there's a high chance that Su Mo will kill you in a one-on-two situation, which is too dangerous.

After a short break, Wang Duoduo commented on the game:
"Welcome back. The second match between the two teams is about to begin. At present, EDG's lineup has not changed. Mozi is still playing in the top lane."

"In the last game, his Sylas created several famous scenes, which refreshed our understanding of this hero. He stole Lee Sin's ultimate and used R to flash back to the key C position, stole Minotaur's ultimate and took the enemy general's head in the midst of thousands of troops like a god of war, and stole Galio's ultimate and used the double suns to fly in the air."

Remember to answer, "Yes, I see infinite possibilities from this British character. I guess EDG won't get it in the next game."

Players from both teams came on the field, and EDG fans at the scene were still enthusiastic: "EDG! EDG!"

Su Mo came to his seat, put on his headphones, everything was ready, and the second BP began!

In one game, EDG is on the blue side and WE is on the blue side.

BAN position situation:
EDG: Lucian, Kalista, Galio

WE: Sylas, Prince, Akali

Rita complained: "They banned Mozi's Akali again. I thought they would release it. It seems like there will be no chance for me to see Mozi's Akali."

Wang Duoduo laughed and said, "The main reason is that WE needs to rely on the two carries, Xiye and Dajiu-zi to carry the team. If they let Akali out, it would be like wasting a carry position. If they want to win the game, they can't let her out."

Enter the hero selection phase.

EDG got Zoe on the first floor.

I remember the commentator said, "Here comes Scout's Zoe. WE needs to ban a player to target Sylas, so they have to release Zoe. The pressure on the mid lane is a bit high. Can Xiye handle it?"

WE locked down Ryze and Sion on the first and second floors.

Wang Duoduo analyzed: "This should be the top lane Sion, that is, he can withstand pressure and develop. In the last game, 957 chose Kennen and still had some fighting spirit, but now he has no fighting spirit at all."

EDG got Kaisa and Minotaur on the second and third floors.

Rita commented: "Here it comes, EDG's Kaisa. At present, it seems more likely that Kaisa will be in the bottom lane, but I don't think it's strange that he suddenly switched to the top lane. After all, he is laning against Sion, so there is no pressure."

WE got Vayne on the third floor!

I remember exclaiming: "Night Hunter, Vayne, is indeed a good choice to counter Kai'Sa. She is good in both laning and teamfighting. Now it depends on the proficiency of brother-in-law Vayne. We have no doubt about Iboy's Kai'Sa."

Entering the second round of BP, WE banned Vampire and Jayce.

EDG also banned Rek'Sai and Olaf.

WE got Braum on the fourth floor.

EDG locked onto Xin Zhao on the fourth floor, and then got a hero that no one expected on the fifth floor.

"Eternally burning wings, take me away from the perdition of the mortal world!"

The whole audience was shocked: "Holy crap, an angel?"

I remember it was the same expression: "Oh my god, angel?"

Rita couldn't help but be happy, and then introduced: "Mercy is a hero that was reworked in February. After the rework, Mercy is very weak in the early laning phase. His passive, Ascension to the Gods, can provide basic attacks with additional magic damage at level 6."

"At level 11, Angel can become a ranged hero, and at level 16, Angel's basic attack will cause area-of-effect true damage. This is the first hero in the League that can cause area-of-effect true damage so far."

Wang Duoduo added: "Of course, don't think that the reworked Angel is so strong. In fact, the designer has said that the current Angel is too weak and almost no one plays it. He needs to strengthen the Angel."

"And this increase has not happened yet. Brother Mozi plays an angel who is very weak in laning and needs to reach level 11 to become a ranged hero."

At this time, WE saw Su Mo got the angel, and 957 suddenly laughed: "Angel? I can play this hero casually. There is no pressure in the laning phase."

Xiye said: "To be honest, I want to switch lanes with you now. I can beat the hero Mercy with one hand."

The lineups of both teams have been determined:

Blue side EDG: top laner Angel, jungler Zhao Xin, mid laner Zoe, ADC Kaisa, support Alistar

Red team WE: Top Sion, Jungle Gragas, Mid Ryze, ADC Vayne, Support Braum

Su Mo tried to communicate with the system: "Raise the angel's proficiency to the maximum for me."

[Use one Ultimate Proficiency Card to raise the proficiency of the Angel of Justice Kyle to the maximum level. ]

Entering the game screen, Jiejie asked: "Is the top lane okay? Mercy seems to be very weak in the early stage. I feel a headache when I encounter her in the pub game."

Meiko joked: "Yeah, the best angel is the one that appears on the opposite side. My head explodes when I see my teammates choose angel."

Iboy responded: "You don't believe Brother Mozi? How dare you!" Su Mo confessed: "I just want to play with it. If I can't beat it, I won't choose it in the next game."

"Ah?" Meiko was stunned.

"I thought you took it out only when you were absolutely sure."

Su Mo smiled: "How can such a weak hero be absolutely sure?"

The EDG players suddenly realized that something was wrong and it seemed like they were going to lose this game!
Iboy stood up and said: "It's okay, I can carry this game, I'm Kaisa."

The game started normally at level one. Su Mo hid in the bushes on the line and was not in a hurry to attack.

Wait until the soldiers are low on health before moving forward to develop.

But he is a melee fighter now, and he must get close to the line of soldiers to make the last hit.

957 also knew this, so he chose to charge his Q skill to target Su Mo's position. Su Mo chose to feint and walked in actively. Sure enough, Sion used his Q skill, and Su Mo turned around in time, barely dodged it, and took the opportunity to finish him off.

Wang Duoduo commented: "Now we can feel how weak the Angel is. Facing a Sion, Mozi needs to do this to finish off the enemy."

"If WE's top laner had a stronger hero, Angel would have been pushed out of the experience zone."

Rita continued, “But then again, if the opponent is a hero that is very strong in laning, Mozi would not choose Angel. He is not stupid.”

In the middle lane, Scout with Zoe was very strong and had been suppressing Ryze since level 1, putting Xiye under a lot of pressure.

In the bottom lane, the situation was reversed. Brother-in-law and Missing put a lot of pressure on each other, while Iboy and Meiko were able to withstand the pressure.

Three and a half minutes into the game, Su Mo's Angel was less than half dead, and the soldiers in the top lane entered the defensive tower.

At this moment, Sean approached Su Mo and walked towards Su Mo's face. It was obvious that someone was coming!

Sure enough, a Gragas came out from the triangle grass in the top lane, trying to cross the tower.

I remember the commentator said: "Although Mozi's positioning is very good and all the details are in place, there is nothing we can do. The Angel is too weak. Sion can only rely on the damage from the active detonation of the E skill to continuously consume the Angel."

"If this group of angels is killed, the loss will be too great!"

However, just when Sion and Gragas were about to fight, Xin Zhao suddenly appeared!

Jiejie's Zhao Xin came from behind the defensive tower, he was here to counter-camp.

Su Mo's angel was finishing off the enemy, and he had also reached level three.

And there is flash.

Beishang is weighing the pros and cons. If he goes hard, he has a chance to be replaced, but is it profitable? The angel still has TP, and he won't lose a lot of soldiers, so it's not profitable.

So Beishang chose to give up this tower dive.

Wang Duoduo commented: "This is the legacy of EDG's jungler! You see, Jiejie showed up at the critical moment to prevent the top laner from being dived. I believe if it was Zzalifa playing on the court, he would make the same choice."

The game continued. Su Mo returned to the city for the first wave of supplies, made the extraction, and TPed to the line to continue developing.

I remember the commentator said: "It feels like Angel is only focused on playing and growing, not caring about other things. The rhythm of this early game can only be left to Jiejie."

Five minutes into the game, the opposing Gragas appeared in the bottom lane. While Meiko was coming up to attack the minions, Gragas launched a surprise attack from the bushes, charging forward with his belly, controlling the minion. Braum then followed up with a Q to slow him down.

Vayne came forward to deal damage, and Minotaur used his Q skill on the spot, but Beishang turned around and turned away.

Wang Duoduo commented: "There's something interesting about this positioning. Alistar continues to retreat, Vayne chases and attacks, Braum's passive is about to be triggered, Alistar flashes, Vayne flashes to follow, and a basic attack triggers Braum's passive."

"Braum jumped over and opened the shield. Kaisa's output was blocked. There was nothing we could do. Alistar was pushed to the wall by Vayne's E skill and controlled. He continued to output and got the kill."

The camera turned to the middle lane, and Zoe flashed a hypnotic bubble to hit Ryze.

Zhao Xin approached from the side, Ryze counterattacked and controlled Zoe, then flashed back and pulled away.

However, his flash was picked up by Zoe, who flashed back and pulled Flying Star up. Zhao Xin used his E skill at close range to output damage and knocked the star into the air, and then cooperated with Zoe's Q skill at the maximum distance to complete the kill.

Rita commented: "Now both sides are speeding up, and the junglers have achieved the first wave of GANK results."

"WE seems to be planning to attack the little dragon, but now the mid laner is dead, Zhao Xin is here with Zoe, and Kai'Sa is still alive. It's three against three. Should WE continue to fight?"

Jiejie originally thought that the opponent would give up after he passed by.

But the opponent showed no intention of giving up and continued to fight the little dragon.

Beishang did it on purpose, he just wanted to trigger a team fight, and, top lane Sion had TP! He was about to reach level 6.

957 was frantically signaling: "I'm almost level , I can TP soon, you guys pull over."

On the EDG side, Jiejie approached the little dragon, wanting to fight with the opponent for punishment.

This is a water dragon. If you can get it during the laning phase, it will be quite crucial.

Beishang chose to stop, he was waiting for Sion to reach level 6.

Zhao Xin uses W to kill the little dragon, and Zoe follows up with Flying Star.

I remember the commentator saying, "Kai'Sa came over from the jungle, ready to join this teamfight. Xin Zhao's goal was very clear, he wanted the little dragon. The little dragon's health was low, Xin Zhao used E to go up, and a punishment came down from the sky. Whose little dragon was it?"

"The little dragon was taken away by Xin Zhao! But, there is TP! Sion TPs to the middle lane, frontally, Gragas's E skill hits Xin Zhao, and Braum follows up with his Q skill. It seems that Xin Zhao can't escape."

Jiejie retreated with difficulty because the formation was scattered and Iboy's Kaisa was alone on the side. He didn't dare to come up to output and could only choose to seduce. But no one cared about him and everyone went to look for Zhao Xin and Zoe.

"Sion." Scout reminded Jiejie. Sion activated his ultimate and rushed over from the middle route!
The two were caught in the middle, with nowhere to go.

Rita commented: "It felt like we couldn't escape. Although we got the dragon, we gave away two kills, which was a big loss."

Wang Duoduo continued: "Even if Sion doesn't come, EDG won't win this wave, but at least Zoe can leave."

"This is a chain reaction caused by the fact that the angel's laning ability is too weak in the early stage. He pushes the line too slowly, so Sion can go back to the city for supplies after pushing the line, and then come up. Anyway, the angel can't push the line to the defense tower."

Remember agreed: "Indeed, this way we can save TP and use it to support teammates."

In the top lane, Su Mo had just pushed the soldiers to the defensive tower, and Sion only lost a wave of soldiers. Of course, at least one layer of tower skin had to be lost. After the angel's passive was stacked, the attack speed was very fast.

Su Mo took a layer of tower skin and then began to cut off the line of troops.

Sion returned to the line but did not look for the angel. There was no need and he could not catch her. (End of this chapter)
