LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Su Mo maintained contact with Chovy and Showmaker.

After leaving GRF, Chovy chose to join DRX.

As Chovy's younger brother, Doran chose to join DRX alongside his older brother.

DRX's bot lane consists of Deft and Keria.

The regular season of the Spring Split has ended.

The top five teams in the LPL are: IG, JDG, FPX, TES, and ESG.

EDG has dropped to sixth place, but at least they made it to the playoffs.

The top five teams in the LCK are: GEN, T1, DRX, KT, and DWG.

Su Mo closely monitored the situation in both competition zones.

He goes to work every day, but most of the time he has nothing to do. After all, he is the boss, and all he needs to do is make decisions on the general direction.

So when he has free time, he likes to watch the games, and players from various regions often chat with him or even ask him out for meals.

Of course, if the relationship isn't very good, then dinner is out of the question, and Su Mo will find an excuse to decline.

Before the playoffs even started, Su Mo received a message from Abu, asking him to go to the EDG training base to participate in the release event for the championship skins.

So the next morning, Su Mo drove to the EDG training base.

After getting off the car, Su Mo walked to the door.

It's been several months since I last came here, and it's changed a lot from what I remember.

Everything was renovated, and after winning three consecutive championships, EDG became the richest esports club.

This "richest" doesn't just refer to the League of Legends scene, but to all esports clubs; EDG is currently the richest.

With LPL securing its third consecutive championship, League of Legends has once again reached new heights in popularity in China.

Moreover, with economic development, esports is earning more money every year, with the lion's share going to League of Legends, and the lion's share of that going to EDG.

"Xiao Mo! Xiao Mo!" Su Mo heard the familiar voice and looked over to see Abu running towards him with a big smile on his face.

Behind Abu was another person: the factory manager!

As they got closer, Abu put his arm around Su Mo's arm and said, "Little Mo, you're a big boss now, huh? You look so handsome in your suit!"

Su Mo replied, "I forgot to change my clothes before I came."

Abu laughed and said, "It's okay, your team uniforms are everywhere. Just grab one from the wall, hahaha."

Su Mo smiled and looked at the factory manager.

The factory manager greeted him, "Mr. Mo, how have you been?"

Su Mo replied, "Coach Mingkai, I've heard so much about you. I never expected you'd end up going back to your old profession."

Su Mo shook hands with the factory director.

The factory manager sighed, "Perhaps this is fate."

Abu muttered, "What kind of names are you using? They're so weird. Never mind, let's go inside."

Su Mo followed Abu and the factory manager into the training base.

Abu introduced, "Xiao Mo, it's been a long time since you've been here. Look, this is our newly built garden. These are all real flowers, and we hired several people to take care of them."

"Our training building has also been renovated and many new features have been added. Let me show you."

Abu led Su Mo on a tour, with the factory manager following behind.

Indeed, many changes have taken place; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe the training base as magnificent now.

After the tour, Abu led Su Mo to the entrance of the training room.

"Clap clap clap..." A long-awaited sound.

The sound of a keyboard being rapidly typed.

If you listen carefully, you can also hear the sound of a mouse clicking rapidly, creating a cacophony of sounds.

Abu pushed open the door and entered, and Su Mo followed him in.

The layout here is similar to before. Abu pointed to a seat not far away and said:
"Your seat has been reserved for you, exactly the same as before."

Su Mo looked around and saw several new faces.

Abu called out, "Everyone, stop for a moment."

"Look who's here."

Everyone took off their headphones and looked back.

"Brother Mozi! Waaah...Brother Mozi!" Meiko jumped up from her seat and ran straight over to Su Mo and snuggled into his arms.

"Brother Mozi, you've finally arrived! Why didn't you come to see us?" Meiko complained.

Jiejie walked over, beaming with joy, as happy as a child.

"Xiao Jie," Su Mo greeted.

“Brother Mozi!” Jiejie responded.

Then it was Scout's turn. The usually serious Scout grinned and smiled broadly.

The others came up to greet Su Mo. They were all newcomers and were a little reserved in front of Su Mo.

After greeting everyone, Su Mo sat down in his seat.

Abu then said, "Our championship skins will be available tonight, you all should remember, right? We started putting on makeup this afternoon, now you can start thinking about what kind of entertainment you want to create."

Su Mo turned to look at the factory manager: "Can the factory still be damaged?"

The factory manager sneered: "I play every day, and I'm still a Master in the Korean server. But you, Mr. Mo, you haven't played any of your accounts. At most, you just play with other people. Can you still beat them?"

Su Mo stretched out his right hand, looking at it as he said, "It feels like he's still at his peak."

"Hehe..." The factory manager laughed, seemingly not believing Su Mo's statement at all.

At noon, Su Mo had lunch with the EDG team. He was treated like a big star visiting the club, with the newcomers lining up to take photos with him and get his autograph.

As a result, the related search term quickly rose to the top of the trending list.

#MoziGe appeared at EDG, seemingly resuming training.

#MoziGe begins preparing for the playoffs!

#That man is back, LPL, tremble!
#So what if they finished sixth in the regular season? EDG is about to make a comeback!

EDG fans were initially very dissatisfied with EDG's current performance.

Meanwhile, because Su Mo had not been seen in the same place as the EDG team members, some people had already become suspicious.

They felt that something might have happened to Su Mo.

There are various rumors, including that EDG was unwilling to raise salaries and had a conflict with Su Mo.

Su Mo was unhappy with the substitute EDG gave him, so he refused to play.

Su Mo was too heartbroken because the factory manager retired, and didn't want to play anymore.

There are all sorts of wild guesses.

Now, these kinds of group photos are enough to reassure EDG fans.

This is a good thing for EDG, otherwise they would be bombarded with criticism from fans.

In the afternoon, the EDG team began applying makeup together.

The EDGS9 championship skins are for Kled (top), Taliyah (jungle), Kayle (mid), Garen (ADC), Yuumi (support), and Qiyana (substitute jungler).

It had been discussed beforehand, and Su Mo was also shocked when he heard that the bot lane was Garen and Yuumi.

All I can say is that having a lot of champion skins is just being capricious.

If it were someone winning a championship for the first time, they would definitely not make this choice; they would definitely choose the one they like best.

But neither Iboy nor Meiko had won the championship for the first time, so they weren't as particular about it.

After finishing his makeup, Su Mo walked to the full-length mirror and began cosplaying as Kled.

Moreover, it's Kled without Skaarl; there's no way around it, Skaarl doesn't exist in this world.

Moreover, it's not convenient to bring over animals that can be substituted, such as ostriches, so this is the only option.

Su Mo turned around and walked behind the factory manager, who was also in the final stages of makeup application.

The factory manager cosplayed as Taliyah, and the black and white Taliyah was mainly to match the color scheme of the EDG team logo.

"So beautiful, Coach Mingkai," Su Mo teased.

The factory manager replied, "Mr. Mo, you look quite handsome in that outfit."

Abu leaned closer and said, "Hey, what game are you guys playing? Why are you addressing each other like that?"

Su Mo replied, "I don't feel anything's wrong, Coach Mingkai, right?"

The factory manager replied, "Mr. Mo is right."

Abu gave up on treatment; it was just a name anyway, so be it. Su Mo turned around, and suddenly, several pairs of wings poked at him. Fortunately, Su Mo reacted quickly and dodged.

Scout was already dressed up; he was cosplaying as an angel!

Moreover, they were at the sixteenth level, angels who had already completed the long stairway to godhood, and they looked truly magnificent!

Su Mo called out, "Scout, read a few lines, the angel's lines."

So Scout chanted, "With a sharp blade in hand, I will punish all!"

"May the eternal wings carry me away from the depravity of the mortal realm!"

Su Mo gave a thumbs up: "Very handsome! Great presence."

Just then, a strange sound came: "Meow~"

Su Mo turned his head and saw Meiko's Yuumi!
Meiko was dressed in a cute outfit and her makeup was also very adorable, but unfortunately, she was a bit too tall and not a real loli.

"With you and me by my side, let's keep going!"

"I don't need to do it! That's your job!"

Meiko mimicked Yumi's tone, and Su Mo teased, "If Iboy didn't leave, he would definitely be ecstatic."

Iboy heard the noise and came over: "Huh? Are you calling me?"

At this moment, Iboy was wearing armor and carrying a greatsword.

Garen!

Su Mo laughed and said, "With your physique, you won't stand up in armor. You'll lose all your muscles."

Iboy touched his nose: "I suddenly regret it a little. I shouldn't have chosen Garen."

Su Mo laughed and said, "It just means you have too many championships and don't cherish them. You can even pick Garen."

Finally, there's Jiejie's Qiyana. This hero is quite unique, with dark skin and two hula hoops in her hands, making her seem like someone special.

It was already evening, and there was still half an hour before the broadcast started.

The EDG team arrived at the training room together. Su Mo sat down in a chair and went to the forum to check out the current situation.

#Celebrating the release of EDG championship skins, giveaway of 10 sets of championship skins
#Brother Mozi is going live tonight too, brothers, Brother Mozi is coming!
#Waaaaah, I can finally see Brother Mozi! Do you know how I've been these past few months?
#Can time please hurry up? I feel ants crawling on my body!

It was 8 PM, and Su Mo started her live stream right on time!
The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded ten million!

Su Mo is live streaming on Douyin, and what's displayed here is the actual number of viewers, not the so-called popularity!

The live chat was flooded with comments like, "Welcome to the Triple Crown Winner!"

"Welcome to the world's number one top laner!"

"Welcome to the League's Number One Player!"

"Brother Mozi, I miss you so much!"

Meanwhile, the gift bombardment began!

Su Mo then began to thank everyone for the gifts:

"Thank you Mozi for sending a hundred Carnivals during this time."

Su Mo initially thought he was seeing things, but it really was a hundred Carnivals!
I guess this is a business owner; there are quite a few business owners who like playing League of Legends, so it's normal.

Su Mo replied, "I've been busy with company matters lately."

"Thank you Mozi for the three carnivals this year, thanks for winning four championships."

Su Mo chose to skip the question and did not respond.

"Thanks to Brother Mozi for the ten Carnivals."

Su Mo replied, "Thank you, but no need. Let's talk about it when we need it."

"Thanks to Brother Mozi for sending twenty Carnivals when he plays in the game."

Su Mo chose to skip this question.

Suddenly, Su Mo saw a familiar ID!

"Thank you Rita for the ten carnivals."

"Thank you Luo Xin for the ten carnivals."

"Thank you, Xinran, for the ten carnivals."

"Thank you Tongxi for the ten carnivals."

……

LPL is seeing a surge in female commentators and hosts.

Next, it was the male commentator's turn.

"Thank you Guan Zeyuan for the ten carnivals."

"Thank you, Doll, for the ten carnivals."

'Thanks Miller for the ten carnivals.'

"Thank you Wang Duoduo for the ten carnivals."

"..."

They clearly coordinated beforehand, delivering gifts together, and in the same amount, so as not to be gossiped about.

Of course, this gossip refers to busybodies online. Su Mo certainly wouldn't be so idle as to specifically check who gave more and who gave less.

That's not all! The LPL players are here!
"Thanks to UZI for the twenty carnivals."

"Thanks to Zoom for the twenty carnivals."

"Thank you Jackeylove for the twenty carnivals."

"Thanks to Rookie for the twenty Carnivals."

"Thanks to Doinb for the twenty Carnivals."

……

There were many contestants, including various big names, as well as some lesser-known contestants whom Su Mo didn't even recognize, who were also sending gifts. Su Mo thanked them one by one.

Meanwhile, they were all spamming the chat with the following:
"Brother Mozi, if you encounter FPX, can you not play? Please, Brother Mozi."

"Brother Mozi, when you're playing against IG, don't go in either, give us a chance."

"Brother Mozi, JDG is easy to beat, you don't need to come up."

"..."

An outrageous scene unfolded: Su Mo hadn't played a single game in the regular season, yet everyone came to him with gifts, "bribing" him to stay out of the game.

Su Mo did not respond; it was difficult to respond.

Su Mo continued to express his gratitude for the gifts when suddenly he saw an ID: Chovy!

"Thank you Chovy for the twenty carnivals. Thank you, are you Chovy yourself?"

Su Mo felt this was a bit outrageous. It wasn't that he thought Chovy wouldn't send him a gift, but rather that because he was using the Chinese version of Douyin, it wouldn't be easy for Chovy to log in.

Su Mo's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Chovy: "Yes, it's a gift from me personally."

Su Mo smiled: "Then thank you very much."

Chovy continued, "I should be thanking you, Brother Mozi. If it weren't for you, I might still be lost and confused."

Su Mo didn't think he deserved such a great deal of credit; in reality, Chovy's talent and hard work were the most important factors.

For the first half hour, Su Mo spent his time thanking people for the gifts and answering questions from the live chat.

Of course, he chose to skip over questions about when he would play, as those questions couldn't be answered.

Next up, we move on to the next stage: five-player squads!

Of course, since there are six people, the old rule still applies: whoever performs poorly will be replaced.

Su Mo built a room and pulled everyone in.

The factory manager will go first; let Jiejie wait a moment.

At the same time, create a voice chat room and invite all your teammates in.

"Can you hear me?" Su Mo called out.

"can!"

"Brother Mozi, I really miss the feeling of playing games with you."

"That's right, I finally felt it again."

"open it."

Su Mo joked, "Coach Mingkai might not be able to play anymore, so we need to take extra care of her." (End of Chapter)
