LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

A few days passed quickly, and it was time for the LPL finals.

Even before the match started, the stadium, which can hold 20,000 people, was packed to capacity.

Although today's match is between TES and JDG, there are three forces at the scene!
Besides TES and JDG fans, a significant number of spectators were holding support signs for Su Mo!

Backstage, in the dressing room, Su Mo is receiving services from a makeup artist.

Rita and Luo Xin stood to the side, with Luo Xin giving frantic instructions, wishing she could do it herself.

A moment later, the makeup was finished. Su Mo stood up, looked at herself in the mirror, and straightened her clothes slightly.

Luo Xin exclaimed in amazement, "Wow! Brother Mozi, you're so handsome! The most handsome male commentator has appeared!"

Su Mo picked up the tie from the stage, only to find that he didn't know how to tie one.

"Huh? How did you make this?" Su Mo muttered.

"Haha, Brother Mozi, you didn't know how to tie a tie before?" Luo Xin burst into laughter.

Su Mo usually wears team uniform or casual clothes.

He didn't even wear a tie to work; after all, it's his company, and he's the one who calls the shots.
Ties were unfamiliar to him.

“Here, let me help you.” Rita took the tie from Su Mo’s hand.

Su Mo lowered his head slightly, and Rita helped him put it on, then tied a knot and adjusted the length.

"Alright! Take a look." Rita seemed quite satisfied with her cooking skills.

Su Mo looked in the mirror: "Hmm, not bad, it looks pretty good."

Just then, Colonel Guan came over and said, "Brother Mozi, you're so handsome. When you go up to give your commentary later, I feel like the audience will ignore me."

Colonel Guan looked at Rita and said, "I feel out of place among all of you handsome men and beautiful women. Your looks are too low."

Rita laughed and said, "LPL commentators can't be without Daxiao, after all, you have unique skills."

Upon hearing this, Colonel Guan perked up: "That's true, my predictions have always been very accurate, right?"

"Brother Mozi, I can't compare to you in terms of looks, but we can compete in predicting matches."

Su Mo couldn't help but chuckle: "No need to compete, I'll always choose the other side."

Colonel Guan exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? No way! Aren't you doomed to lose like this?"

Su Mo laughed and said, "Then let's lose. It's fate."

The four of them walked out of the dressing room together. Su Mo suddenly remembered something and said:

"Oh, right, I have another interview to do. You guys go ahead."

So the four of them went their separate ways.

Su Mo arrived at the team's rest room alone, pushed open the door, glanced inside, and immediately spotted a familiar face: Jackeylove!

At the same time, Jackeylove also looked over, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Mo.

Everyone else was on their phones and didn't react.

Jackeylove paused for a moment before calling out, "Brother Mozi is here!"

The TES members smiled after hearing this and continued playing the game.

The prophet quipped, "Jack, what's wrong with you? You miss Mozi so much. It's a good thing we don't have Mozi, otherwise we wouldn't even make it to the finals."

Jackeylove pointed to the door and said, "Brother Mozi is at the door, it seems like something's wrong."

The prophet turned his head and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Holy crap!"

The other members of TES were startled and all looked towards the door.

Su Mo greeted everyone with a smile, "Excuse me, everyone from Top Esports."

Guo Hao also noticed Su Mo and quickly ran over: "Brother Mo! It really is Brother Mo! I've heard so much about you! Brother Mo, come in and have a seat."

"We thought Jack was joking, but we didn't expect you to come."

369 was taken aback and muttered, "Hey! Brother Mozi, you're not going to commentate on the match, are you? Your outfit... is it really for you to commentate on the finals?"

Su Mo nodded: "Yes."

"Holy crap!" The TES players exclaimed in surprise.

Jackeylove joked, "69, why are you sweating? Don't be nervous, Mozi is commentating on the game, not your girlfriend."

Karsa complained, "I guess he's worried about being criticized by Mozi and having his past exposed."

The prophet was already laughing: "Hahaha, other commentators might not be able to see it, but Mozi, even the slightest mistake will be clearly seen. 69, you're finished!"

369 feigned composure: "It doesn't matter. It's not like it's my first time facing Zoom. His laning skills... are just so-so."

"It's just so-so, isn't it?" Karsa looked at 369 with an incredulous expression.

369's composure lasted only three seconds before he himself couldn't hold back any longer.

Su Mo suddenly said, "I was given a task by the authorities to interview you in advance. If there are no problems, I will start the live broadcast now."

Guo Hao replied repeatedly, "No problem, definitely no problem."

Then he looked at the others: "Cheer up, everyone, don't let Brother Mozi laugh at us."

Su Mo took out his phone and said, "I will interview everyone. You can give your opinions on the opposing player, express your determination, etc. These are all standard questions."

Guo Hao instructed, "Be confident, and don't say anything discouraging, understand?"

Su Mo then started a live stream, pointed the camera at himself, and greeted:

"Brothers, I'm coming!"

Su Mo had given advance notice that the live stream would be held this afternoon, but he hadn't specified what the content would be.

The number of viewers in the live stream surged to three million and is still rising rapidly.

The comments section was flooded with:
"Holy crap, it really is Mozi! Brothers, go get some reinforcements!"

"Brother Mozi, waaaah, I miss you so much, Brother Mozi."

"Wow, Mozi, you're so handsome! Did you get married without telling us? Why are you so handsome?"

"He's definitely married, I knew it! His wife probably made that tie for him."

"Who is it? Who secretly married Brother Mozi? Step forward!"

Su Mo continued, "Guess where I am?"

Su Mo pointed the camera at Jackeylove, then scanned the faces of the TES players from left to right.

The live stream chat exploded again:

"Huh? Isn't this TES?"

"Wait a minute, the finals between TES and JDG are about to start, right?"

"This is the competition venue! The lounge!"

"Could it be? It really is Mozi providing the commentary? My God!"

The trending topics on major social media platforms have begun to change.

#MoziGeSurprisinglyAppearsInTESRestroom

#MoziGe commentating on the LPL finals?

#BrotherMozi has appeared!

As a result, the popularity of the LPL official live stream began to surge!
It has doubled in price!

Of course, the number of viewers in Su Mo's live stream also doubled.

Su Mo continued, "Before the match begins, I will interview the players from both sides, starting with TES."

Su Mo sat down next to Jackeylove and said, "Jackeylove, TES's starting ADC."

Jackeylove smiled, which was his way of greeting the audience.

Su Mo began by asking, "Jackeylove, you've only been with TES for a short time and you're already representing them in the finals. How do you feel about that? Are you confident?"

Jackeylove replied, "We will definitely win the championship!"

Su Mo continued to ask, "What do you think of JDG's bot lane? Is it a threat to you?" Jackeylove confidently replied, "I think if they weren't facing our TES, JDG would be quite formidable. Their bot lane is strong, but it's a pity."

Su Mo laughed: "So confident?"

"Prophet, do you agree with what Jack said? Don't you think he's being pretentious?"

The prophet chuckled and touched his nose: "Not bad, you're always showing off, we're all used to it."

"I'm confident we'll win!"

The live stream chat was flooded with messages:
"It seems that Jackeylove gets along quite well with the players from Top Esports."

"Not bad, not bad, we've found a good employer."

"As a long-time IG fan, I wish him all the best. I don't know what else to say."

"I hope he can win the championship and prove himself."

Su Mo walked over and sat down next to Zuo Shou, greeting him, "Zuo Shou, Knight, Top Esports' starting mid laner, one of the strongest domestic mid laners right now."

With a sly smile, Zuo Shou quickly said, "No, no, I'm not the strongest."

Su Mo asked, "Left Hand, what do you think of the toothpaste? You and he are from the same hometown, right? Will you be able to bring yourself to do it?"

Left Hand replied, "Toothpaste... is amazing. I feel like it's more amazing than me."

"Cough cough cough..." Guo Hao winked and made faces at the side, trying to remind Zuo Shou to put on some momentum.

But his left hand didn't notice him, which made him very anxious.

Su Mo continued, "So, do you think JDG will win the championship today?"

Zuo Shou quickly explained, "This is a five-person game. My teammate is better than him, so we can still win."

Su Mo nodded: "It seems that Zuo Shou is still reluctant to go all out because of his hometown connection with Toothpaste."

Zuo Shou tried to explain, but Su Mo didn't give him a chance and left to find Karsa.

Su Mo sat down next to Karsa and greeted him, "Karsa, Top Esports' starting jungler."

"Karsa, who are you planning to gank today? Who do you think is the easiest target for JDG?"

Karsa was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Su Mo to ask such a direct question.

But then I thought, no one really takes these interviews seriously, so it's okay to just say whatever comes to mind and have some fun.

So Karsa said, "Mid lane, if Knight can't make a move, then I'll force him to, sow discord between them, and make them turn against each other."

"No..." Zuo Shou wanted to explain, but Su Mo didn't give him the chance.

Su Mo continued to ask, "If the left-hand player can't bring themselves to do it, then is it unnecessary to give the blue buff to the mid-laner?"

Karsa nodded: "Definitely! Why give it to the mid laner? I'll carry the game myself!"

Su Mo turned to look at 369: "Finally, it's our starting top laner, 69."

"69, you're about to face Zoom. Are you under a lot of pressure? Can you win?"

369 confidently stated, "I know Zoom very well, and I can win."

Su Mo continued to ask, "Is your birthday today the 3, 6, or 9?"

The live stream chat was flooded with messages:
"3333333333333!"

369 also cooperated quite well: "9, it must be 9."

Su Mo pressed, "How did you know?"

369 paused for a moment, then replied, "I rolled the dice before I left home, and it came to 9."

Su Mo laughed: "Aren't dice six-sided? Where did the 9 come from?"

These words immediately caused the 369 CPU to burn out, leaving the user speechless.

Su Mo then said, "Alright, thank you all for accepting our interview. I hope you have a good performance today."

Su Mo left the TES lounge and went to another lounge next door, pushing the door open and entering.

The JDG players were playing on their phones when suddenly, Toothpaste looked over and exclaimed, "He's here! Mozi really came! I knew he was coming!"

The JDG players all looked over.

Zoom grinned broadly: "Wow, this is for real, Mozi, are you streaming?"

Su Mo replied, "Yes, I love interviewing you."

"Come in, please, have a seat." Zoom was very enthusiastic, running over excitedly to invite Su Mo inside.

Toothpaste then said, "I already told you that Brother Mozi was coming, but you didn't believe me."

Su Mo said into the phone camera, "Now we've arrived at JDG's rest room. Let's see what JDG's players think about the finals."

Zoom spoke first: "Brother Mozi, let me go first, you ask me first."

Su Mo then asked, "Just how good is the food at JDG? It's turned you into a team that weighs a ton?"

Zoom was taken aback: "Huh? Is that what you're asking about?"

Su Mo laughed and said, "I just asked casually. I'll ask whatever the audience wants to know."

Zoom then said, "I can only say that the cook at our base is amazing; she must have used to raise pigs."

The live stream chat exploded with comments:
"Haha, so the cook you hired from the pig farm, right?"

"That's just how the corporate culture is."

"It's clear that Zoom is enjoying himself."

"It's always nice to have something to eat."

Su Mo continued to ask, "Just now on the TES side, 369 said he knows you very well and can beat you. What's your opinion?"

Zoom sneered: "69 has always been like this, loves to brag. Every time he lanes against me, I always end up crushing him under the tower."

Su Mo pressed further, "69 means he drew a 9 in the lottery before leaving home today. Are you feeling a lot of pressure?"

Zoom laughed: "Heh, even if you roll a 10, it's useless. In the LPL, I've only ever been afraid of two people: Mozi and TheShy. What the hell is 69?"

Su Mo nodded: "It seems that both top laners are very confident in themselves. Now let's interview the jungler, Kanavi."

Su Mo sat down next to Kanavi and asked, "Kanavi, do you feel any pressure facing Brother Lei Karsa? He was invincible for the first fifteen minutes."

Kanavi replied, "I'm ready to start at sixteen minutes."

Su Mo pressed further, "Are you planning to hold out for the first fifteen minutes? Is that what you mean?"

Kanavi nodded and then shook his head: "It's not that I want to play it safe, it's that my teammates want to play it safe."

Su Mo continued, "What if they can't hold out?"

Kanavi shrugged: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. It's not my fault; they just couldn't hold out."

Su Mo smiled: "It seems that Kanavi is very pragmatic."

"Next up, mid laner, Toothpaste."

Su Mo sat down in front of Toothpaste and asked, "Toothpaste, Zuo Shou said he wants to dominate you online, what do you think?"

Toothpaste was taken aback: "Huh? Brother Mozi, don't scare me. That's not what he said. I saw it during the live stream just now."

Su Mo then asked, "So, between you and Zuo Shou, who do you think has a stronger laning ability?"

After hearing this, Toothpaste muttered, "It's hard to say who's stronger... Left Hand is pretty good... but I can definitely hold my own online."

Su Mo looked at the rest of JDG and said, "See? Left Hand and Toothpaste are showing mutual respect. Be careful when you guys play."

Toothpaste panicked: "Hey, Brother Mozi, you're trying to sow discord!"

Su Mo didn't give the toothpaste a chance to explain and went straight to the bottom lane.

"These two are JDG's duo, Green Hair and LokeN."

Do you think you can beat TES's bot lane?

Green Hair was full of confidence: "We will definitely win. Their bot lane is not well coordinated yet, so they are not very good."

Su Mo asked again, "What do you think of Jackeylove's skill level? Would you be willing to assist him?" (End of Chapter)
