LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 398 What a vicious scheme!

Scout, in the top lane, reminded his teammates: "None of us in the top lane have Teleport, so it's a 4v4 for you guys."

With seven minutes left in the game, Su Mo pushed the mid-lane minion wave to the turret, then headed directly into the enemy jungle, activating his scanner as he passed the river.

Another perspective.

Although he was spotted, Su Mo still headed towards the enemy jungle after clearing the vision.

Miller commented, "EDG's mid and jungle are about to make a move, and it seems like their target is the enemy's blue buff."

"T1 should have noticed something; someone is giving a signal, probably from Gragas. Should they engage or give up?"

After Su Mo and Jijie arrived, they immediately pulled the blue buff towards the river.

"We're here." Lucian and Thresh arrived from the bottom lane.

The enemy Kai'Sa and Nautilus also disappeared from the bottom lane.

Soon, the barrel appeared. Although no one else was seen, they must be nearby.

Su Mo is currently at full rage, and he also has his ultimate move ready.

"They're coming down the bot lane." Titan and Kai'Sa came from the direction of the Gromp, looking like they were about to make a move.

Su Mo instructed, "Thresh, feel free to use your hook."

The blue buff was about to be executed by Smite, and Gragas stepped up, seemingly wanting to risk Smite, and used his Q skill first.

Mieko decisively handed over the hook!

Suddenly, a Smite descended from the sky, and at the same time, Gragas' Q skill exploded.

And the spider followed up with a Q and a Smite...

The blue buff immediately collapsed to the ground.

The spider has reached level six!

Miller commented, "The blue buff was taken by Elise, and Thresh's hook hit Gragas! A very sneaky hook, but the enemy Nautilus's hook also hit Thresh!"

"Kiana! Kiana's coming from behind! She's sneaking up on us through the river!"

Faker's Qiyana came from the river, so he can go straight to Lucian!
The battle had already begun. Su Mo activated his ultimate skill, using his red-rage W to control the enemy Titan, breaking its shield and causing Titan's health to drop rapidly.

Spider followed up with a cocoon, EDG's goal was very clear: take down one enemy first, even Titan couldn't withstand this kind of burst!

Sure enough, Titan's health dropped to almost zero in an instant. He used Flash to retreat, and Su Mo used his E skill to follow up.

"Hey! Kiana!" Suddenly, Iboy was attacked.

Qiyana flashes and uses her EQ combo, her water elemental Q skill stuns Lucian, and then her ultimate pushes Thresh and Route together against the wall!

Guan Zeyuan cheered, "Perfect ultimate! Lucian and Thresh are controlled! Gragas used his E skill to control both of them, followed by damage, Renekton and Elise turned around to help, Qiyana applied Ignite, and Lucian got the kill!"

Su Mo and Spider pretended to attack the enemy Gragas, but were actually waiting for their skills.

"Kasa doesn't have Flash," Su Mo reminded her.

Jiejie understands.

Kai'Sa is still attacking the crocodile, but she's being careful, keeping her distance, and ready to use her E to speed up her retreat at any time.

"on!"

Suddenly, Jiejie's Spider used an E-Flash to attack!
Fast as lightning!

Kai'Sa had just used her E skill and hadn't even had a chance to reposition before she was controlled.

Su Mo's crocodile used its E skill to close the distance, followed by a red-rage W to control the enemy, and then a red-rage Q to finish them off, securing the kill.

[Gained 30 Torture Points from Teddy]

Thresh was already low on health at this point, so Thresh used his E skill on Gragas, followed by a Q to stun him, and then handed the lantern to Su Mo's Renekton.

Su Mo chose to pick up the lantern and continue fighting.

Rita commented, "The crocodile has already gotten a double kill. Although Qiyana's initiation was very beautiful, she has no follow-up damage output. Facing the prehistoric crocodile, Qiyana is powerless and can only choose to sacrifice her teammates."

Gragas used Flash and followed up with his E skill to run towards the river, and he actually managed to escape.

The two sides traded one kill for two, with EDG gaining a kill.

"We can take the dragon." The three EDG players went to take the dragon together.

The world where only Iboy is injured has been achieved.

Iboy complained: "I didn't set up vision, so I didn't even see the enemy Qiyana coming from behind."

Mieko joked, "I thought you were quick enough to teleport out."

Iboy explained, "The opponent flashed and used EQ, it was too fast, it felt like it was going to hit, there was no chance to flash at all."

After securing the dragon, Su Mo returned to the mid lane to push a wave of minions, then recalled to base to replenish his supplies and craft the Storm Sword. He now only needed 950 gold to complete the crafting process.

On the top lane, Angel and Vladimir traded their ultimate abilities, and Khan was very anxious.

Seeing his teammates at a disadvantage, he wanted to gain an advantage in the top lane.

However, once the Angel reaches level six, she becomes much harder to suppress, so the Vampire chooses to proactively exchange his ultimate abilities.

Angels without their ultimate ability are much more dangerous than vampires; they are easily tower-dived.

"The enemy top laner doesn't have any ultimate abilities," Khan reminded them.

The original strategy for this match was to focus on the bottom lane, but now that the bottom lane is in disarray, Clid has to consider breaking through from other lanes.

With ten minutes left in the game, Su Mo reminded his teammates, "I have TP now, so you can start making things if you want."

Jiejie headed straight to the bottom lane, preparing to coordinate a tower dive with the bottom laner.

Upon reaching the red team's bottom lane, instead of immediately entering the tri-bush, they choose to stand behind the wall and wait for the bottom lane minions to push in before placing a ward and entering the bush...

Suddenly, the barrel rammed into the spider, giving it no time to react!

He never expected the wine barrel to be inside!
Almost simultaneously, the blue team's TP was placed on the ward.

Gragas unleashed his ultimate, blasting the Spider out of the bush. Kai'Sa followed up with a Void Strike, then used her E skill to speed up and deal damage. Nautilus followed up with his hook to control the Spider, and then used his ultimate!

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed, "Instant kill! Spider got instantly killed! Thresh's hook hits Nautilus, should he fly over? He flew over, give the lantern to Lucian! Renekton TPs in, this is a 3v3 behind the turret!"

"The crocodile activated his ultimate and E skill to approach, then used his empowered E skill to control Gragas. Thresh also activated his ultimate, using his E skill to pull Gragas into his ultimate, slowing him down. Lucian followed up with damage, and Gragas was instantly killed!"

[Received 30 Torture Points from Clid]

Miller continued, "The crocodile is still fighting. He uses his second skill to get close to the Titan and continues to auto-attack. The Titan has the Spear of Shojin! He's using the Spear of Shojin to reduce the cooldown of QWE. Then he uses his red-rage W, and the Titan is locked in place."

"Thresh hooks again, even Nautilus can't withstand it. Kai'Sa keeps attacking from the side, but it seems like she can't do any damage! Lucian's Culling Baptism takes down Nautilus!"

[Received 30 Torture Points from Effort]

Seeing that things were not going well, Kaisa had no choice but to run away.

Rita exclaimed in amazement: "The crocodile is too strong, especially now that it has the Blue Dragon Blade. If the crocodile can use two sets of skills in a team fight, it will be very difficult for the opponent to play against it."

"At this stage, even the front line can't withstand a full combo from the crocodile. If he gets two combos, it's basically a kill for two people."

On the EDG side, Mieko exclaimed, "A prehistoric giant crocodile, the Azure Dragon Blade Crocodile!"

Su Mo replied, "The more favorable the situation, the more overpowered the Renekton becomes with the Azure Dragon Blade. If you're at a disadvantage, you'll easily get killed if you build the Azure Dragon Blade directly. Forget about using two sets of skills, you might not even be able to finish one set." Su Mo returned to the mid lane, while the bottom lane farmed tower plates. The gold difference had already reached two thousand.

Inside the EDG rest area, Abu cheered, "Nice! It's Xiao Mo again. If it weren't for him bringing TP, Jiejie would have been eliminated for nothing."

The factory manager said, "Faker was punished by this mid-lane Renekton. As long as Xiao Mo doesn't make any major mistakes, it's almost impossible for T1 to win this game."

The Rift Herald had already spawned, and Jiejie chose to wait for the crocodile's ultimate.

Thirteen minutes into the game, Jiejie controlled vision near the Baron pit and began attacking the Rift Herald.

"The mid laner is gone," Su Mo reminded his teammates.

Now Kiana can push minion waves much faster, quickly clearing the wave and disappearing from the lane.

Su Mo moved upwards to cover Jiejie as he attacked the Rift Herald.

The bottom laners, on the other hand, would huddle up to avoid being ganked by the enemy.

Soon, the bottom lane minions were pushed to the turret, and Qiyana appeared, coming to gank the bottom lane, but was spotted by vision beforehand.

So Mieko and Iboy retreated, and the two of them lay low for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kaisa was finally able to eat some tart crust.

On EDG's side, Jiejie secured the Rift Herald and released it in the mid lane.

Kiana returned to the mid lane, and the enemy Gragas also came over to defend together.

Mieko warned, "The enemy bot lane has disappeared, be careful."

Su Mo and Jiejie ate two tower plates in the mid lane, then headed down to fight the dragon.

After pushing the minion wave in the bottom lane, it's time for another round.

Rita commented, "Right now, as long as EDG doesn't lose out in a 1v1 situation and they have Renekton, they're basically guaranteed to win. The second dragon is the Fire Dragon. Will T1 come over to contest it?"

"They gave up, and EDG easily took down the dragon. EDG's rhythm is now perfect."

Fifteen minutes into the game, Su Mo pushed the minion wave and moved down to cover his teammates as they secured the bottom lane tower.

The duo switched lanes to the mid lane, while Su Mo switched to the bottom lane to push the lane.

Jiejie invaded the enemy's lower jungle.

Just then, Scout's Kayle in the top lane was tower-dived.

This time there are three people, including Kiana!
The angel's head was taken by the vampire.

"The enemy mid, top, and jungle don't have their ultimate abilities," Scout reminded them.

Su Mo pushed the bottom lane minions forward, intending to take down the second tower, but soon, the enemy Vladimir arrived.

"Switch lanes. They seem to think Qiyana is too easy to kill against me, so they're switching to Vladimir," Su Mo reminded them.

I glanced at the vampire's equipment. He started with Hextech Protobelt and Ionian Boots of Lucidity. This build provides strong kiting ability, and Hextech Protobelt also provides health and a dash effect.

Jiejie signaled: "We can finish them off in one hit; our damage output is sufficient."

Su Mo nodded:
"Okay, let's cover the area."

Jiejie was stuck to the side of the tower. The vampire provided vision through the wall, but he couldn't see anyone. He didn't expect the spider to be around the corner ahead.

Su Mo pushed the minion wave into the turret and went forward to attack it, but the vampire charged up with his E skill to clear the minion wave, so Su Mo pretended to retreat.

The vampire chased after him, unleashing a powerful, enraged Q...

Suddenly, the crocodile turned around and used his E skill, while the vampire turned around, seemingly prepared.

Su Mo turned around to pull the turret away, and the vampire followed, using basic attacks to finish off the enemy...

"Go!" Su Mo commanded, then used Flash + W to control the vampire!
Miller exclaimed, "Khan's been tricked! Mozi deliberately pulled him back to lower his guard, then Spider followed up with a cocoon, and the two of them used a combo each to kill him instantly! The vampire was controlled to death!"

After killing the vampire, Su Mo and Jiejie pushed down the enemy's second bottom lane tower.

Meanwhile, in the mid lane, Lucian and Thresh took the initiative to engage, going up to fight the enemy Kai'Sa and Nautilus.

They didn't achieve any results, but it was enough; their goal was to prevent the opposing duo from ganking the bottom lane.

As a result, T1's second bottom lane tower was taken down again.

Rita commented, "Right now, the split push of the Renekton is also a big problem for T1. Even Vladimir has a hard time dealing with such a fed Renekton."

"Now that the crocodile is going to switch to the top lane to push the lane, what should T1 do? As the turrets keep falling, the economic gap is widening rapidly."

On EDG's side, Su Mo directed, "Provide vision in the bushes above the bottom lane. I estimate the enemy Gragas might go for a tower dive in the bottom lane. No, place the vision here."

Su Mo gave a signal, heading down the path towards the river, but without entering the river, while keeping a distance from the bushes along the path.

His idea was that both Gragas and Kiana had scanners, and they might use those scanners to clear vision in advance, with the river and lane bushes being the key areas to clear.

When Angel arrived at the bottom lane, the minion wave hadn't reached them yet, so he decided to place a ward as Su Mo had instructed.

After the minion wave arrives, continue to withstand the pressure under the tower.

The director gave a close-up of the eyes, seemingly trying to imply something.

Miller analyzed, "This is a tricky position. I almost never see anyone with their viewpoint here because it seems like they can't see anything."

Rita guessed, "Then there's only one possibility: this field of vision isn't for seeing things."

Su Mo was pushing the minion wave in the top lane, while Khan's Vladimir continued to lane against him.

However, I was much more careful than before, and I even used walls to create vision to make sure I wasn't being flanked by the jungler.

At the 17-minute mark, Faker pushed the minion wave to the turret and used a scanner to confirm that there was no vision nearby.

Meanwhile, Clid's Gragas also arrived in the bottom lane, activated his scanner, and walked from the river to the tri-bush.

Miller commented, "It feels like they're about to make a move. The Angel has Flash and her ultimate, so she can make some plays."

"The barrels are approaching from the side, Qiyana is entering the turret from the front, TP, someone TP'd!"

Just as T1's mid and jungle were about to make their move, a teleport was sent behind Qiyana!
The key point is that Faker didn't notice it at first!

Not only that, the duo is moving down from the middle lane and is ganking us.

Dragnet!

Under the turret, the angel relentlessly attacked Gragas, who promptly used his E skill. The angel then used her ultimate on herself, so Gragas chose not to use his other skills in a hurry, and Qiyana watched as well.

Angel uses her W skill to accelerate forward, and flashes at the very moment Qiyana makes her move.

"Crocodile!" Faker saw a large crocodile approaching. Angel had already joined forces with the crocodile. How were they going to fight?
"Let's go!" Clid tried to run away without saying a word; there was no way they could fight this way.

But he could run, while Faker had nowhere to run. He could only head towards the tower, towards EDG's second bottom lane tower.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "Now that disaster is imminent, everyone is running for their lives. The crocodile continues to chase in the bottom lane, while the angel teleports to the top lane to farm. The duo is coming over, and Qiyana is still going to die."

In the end, Lucian got Qiyana's kill, which can be considered a lucky break.

Su Mo pushed the bottom lane minion wave forward, and at the same time marked the mid lane tower: "Push mid lane".

After Kiana respawns, she should push the bottom lane minions first, which will create a time difference.

EDG's duo returned to the mid lane to push the minion wave, Jiejie was also there, and with the Renekton coming from the jungle, there were now four people.
