LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Chapter 412 Mid-lane Showdown in Pingxiang!

Green Hair was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Su Mo to ask such a question.

He glanced at LokeN subconsciously, and Su Mo immediately stood up and said, "We already know the answer."

"Hey!" Green Hair wanted to explain further.

Su Mo immediately made his escape: "Okay, that concludes the interview with JDG!"

The viewers in the live stream were laughing hysterically, spamming the chat with comments like:

"Team-destroying master! Are you trying to ruin the LPL?"

"Trying to stir up trouble from both sides, huh? I never expected you to be like this, Brother Mozi."

"Mozi's interviews are still the most interesting; he dares to say anything."

"I feel like both sides are going to break a sweat today. With Mozi personally giving his comments, who can hold on?"

After Su Mo left JDG's rest room, he called out, "Brothers, I'm going up to do the commentary now. This live stream ends here. Watch the official live stream."

Although most fans strongly urged Su Mo to continue the live stream, Su Mo ended the broadcast.

He's here to generate buzz for the LPL, not to share in the buzz.

Su Mo walked to the commentary booth, where Rita and Guan Zeyuan were already seated and organizing their materials.

The seat between the two was empty, so Su Mo sat down.

"Brother Mozi, you'll be the main performer today, and I'll be the straight man. How about it? I'll go along with you," Guan Zeyuan said.

Su Mo replied, "I don't have much experience. Colonel, feel free to do as you please. Don't let me hold you back."

Guan Zeyuan laughed and said, "Most of the audience are here to see you, right? I'm just a supporting character today."

Rita reminded them, "It's about to start, are you two ready?"

Su Mo looked at the screen not far in front of him, where an advertisement was playing and the countdown had begun.

This indicates that the competition is about to begin.

Meanwhile, the popularity of the LPL official live stream has reached 500 million!
The audience eagerly awaited the announcement, and after the countdown to the commercial ended, the camera focused on the commentary booth.

Su Mo appeared! The live stream chat exploded instantly:

"Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi!"

"Greetings, Triple Crown Winner!"

"Brother Mozi, you're actually serious!"

"Takeoff! Takeoff from Wuhu!"

Guan Zeyuan spoke first: "Okay, viewers in front of the screen, welcome to the 2020 League of Legends Pro League Spring Split Finals!"

"The audience was very excited. You could hear them shouting, 'Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi!'"

Rita chimed in, "That's right, let me introduce to you our guest commentator today, Brother Mozi!"

Su Mo greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, I'm E... Su Mo."

Su Mo paused for a moment, and Rita immediately sensed something was wrong, so she changed the subject: "Today is the Spring Tournament finals, and the organizers went to great lengths to invite everyone's favorite Mo Zi Ge. We hope everyone will give him their support."

Guan Zeyuan then began his analysis: "Today's match is between TES and JDG. Both teams made some personnel adjustments during the Spring Split, especially TES, who brought in Jackeylove in the second half of the regular season."

"Judging from his recent matches, he has performed quite well and is worth looking forward to."

At the competition venue, host Luo Xin took the stage and, after her opening remarks, invited both teams to come on stage.

Meanwhile, on the commentary side, Guan Zeyuan looked at Su Mo and asked, "Brother Mo, were you nervous just now? Why didn't you finish introducing EDG's starting top laner, Mo?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "A little bit, after all, it's my first time."

"Won't it be leaked if we talk now?"

Rita explained, "No, the director will remind us if the camera needs to switch back."

Su Mo nodded: "It's pretty good."

After both teams took the stage, a promotional video was played, during which the two teams mocked each other.

However, the chat in the live stream was filled with comments like:

"It doesn't seem very good. It's not as good as Mozi's interview."

"Brother Mozi really knows how to create something interesting."

"Didn't you say you were going to blow up the toothpaste tube with your left hand? Why are you suddenly being so cautious?"

"Huh? Did Zuo Shou say that? I thought it was Mo Zi Ge doing something funny."

After the promotional video finished playing, Su Mo received a message.

The screen switches to the ban/pick phase, where the first three bans have already been decided.

Guan Zeyuan spoke first: "JDG is on the blue side, and TES is on the red side. JDG banned Zoe, Syndra, and Trundle, which is very targeted at Knight."

"TES banned Varus, Kalista, and Graves, mainly targeting the bot lane. Mozi, what do you think?"

Su Mo replied, "I feel that the mid lane is the focus of this match. Both mid laners are very good, and their hero selection is very important."

Guan Zeyuan pressed further, "Who do you think is better? Left Hand or Toothpaste, who do you think is the strongest domestically produced mid-laner?"

Su Mo said, "Little Tiger."

"Huh?" Guan Zeyuan was shocked.

"No, I asked you to choose between your left hand or toothpaste, and you chose 'or'?"

Just then, Little Tiger, who was fishing somewhere, suddenly sneezed.

XLB, who was standing nearby, looked over and asked, "Tiger Bro? What's going on? You have a cold?"

Xiao Hu rubbed his nose: "I feel like someone is trying to frame me."

The draft continues, and JDG decisively picked LeBlanc on the third floor, prompting the broadcast to give a close-up of Knight.

At this moment, Zuo Shou smiled and continued communicating with his teammates, seemingly unconcerned.

Guan Zeyuan asked, "Brother Mozi, Yagao has now picked LeBlanc. If you were the coach of TES, what champion would you choose for Knight?"

Su Mo replied, "Zoe and Syndra have both been banned, so LeBlanc is really hard to counter."

"Let me put it this way, I know which hero I should choose."

"Which one?"

Lissandra.

Upon hearing this, Guan Zeyuan couldn't believe it: "Lissandra isn't good enough? Isn't there a saying that Lissandra counters LeBlanc?"

Su Mo replied, "That's true in theory, but in reality, Lissandra struggles against highly skilled LeBlanc players, both in lane and team fights, and is too passive. Both teams need a more proactive lineup."

The draft continues, and TES suddenly picked Lissandra on the third floor.

Rita joked, "Could it be that the TES coach heard this, Mozi? He wants to prove it to you."

Guan Zeyuan then said, "Then I'll have to take a good look and see if Brother Mozi's prediction is accurate or not."

The director also started creating mischief, directly posting questions in the official live stream:

"Is Brother Mozi's judgment right or wrong?"

Let the audience vote.

1 is correct, 2 is incorrect.

The live stream chat was filled with the same message:

"11111111!"

Of course, occasionally a few rebels will choose to give a 2.
The following is a real-time statistical analysis of the proportions of the two.

Choosing option 1 guarantees a 92% chance of winning!

Although it has been fluctuating, it has never fallen below 90%!

Soon, the lineups for both sides were finalized:
JDG: Top - Ornn, Jungle - Olaf, Mid - LeBlanc, ADC - Miss Fortune, Support - Yuumi. TES: Top - Sett, Jungle - Lee Sin, Mid - Lissandra, ADC - Aphelios, Support - Thresh.

Guan Zeyuan asked again, "Brother Mozi, now that the lineups for both sides are finalized, I'll give you one more chance. Who do you think will win?"

Su Mo countered with a question: "Who do you choose?"

"I choose... Top Esports."

"Then I'll choose JDG!"

Guan Zeyuan gave an exaggerated look: "Huh? You really aren't even considering it?"

Su Mo smiled without saying a word.

Rita also made her choice: "I also choose JDG."

Guan Zeyuan nodded: "OK, let's challenge Brother Mozi's prediction and see if Brother Mozi is more accurate or I am."

Upon hearing this, the number of people who initially supported Su Mo, which was 92%, skyrocketed to 93...94...and headed towards 100.

The chat room became lively:

"The colonel doesn't seem to realize he's a master of jinxing."

"Does this even need analysis? Just choose the location opposite the colonel, isn't that enough?"

"I would choose the same option."

Upon entering the match screen, both sides started normally, with no invasions.

During the laning phase, the director switched back and forth between the three lanes, and Guan Zeyuan and Rita analyzed the laning distance in real time.

However, since no fight broke out, they mainly talked in circles.

Suddenly, the camera cut to the mid lane, where Lissandra on the left was relentlessly pressuring Toothpaste to last-hit minions.

In just four minutes, they were already six CS ahead, which is equivalent to a wave of minions.

Guan Zeyuan laughed: "Hey, Mozi, look at the laning situation in the mid lane, Zuo Shou's Lissandra is going to crush the toothpaste tube."

"They even managed to create a passive clone, making it impossible to lane against them."

Su Mo replied, "It's normal to have a tough time in the early laning phase, as long as you don't get solo killed."

Guan Zeyuan was quite confident: "Since that's the case, let's keep watching. Anyway, I definitely think TES's lineup is better."

Six minutes into the game, Karsa stole the dragon, and TES's laning phase advantage looks quite significant.

Eight minutes into the game, TES suddenly started using a different strategy. The bottom lane duo pushed the minion wave first, and then engaged in combat as the Rift Herald spawned.

Rita commented, "This season, the Rift Herald mechanic has been updated, and the first one will be available at eight minutes."

"Therefore, many teams will make arrangements in advance around the eight-minute mark, and TES's tactics were clearly prepared in advance."

JDG was slow to react; by the time they arrived, the Rift Herald had already been destroyed by TES.

There was no other way; JDG had to make up for such a loss and opted to hastily initiate a team fight.

Guan Zeyuan began his passionate commentary on the team fight, with both sides engaging in various skirmishes. In the end, TES gained a kill, with Jackeylove's Aphelios securing another, making TES even more successful!
Immediately afterwards, at the eleven-minute mark, Lissandra teleported to the top lane and, with the help of 369's Sett, killed Ornn.

Guan Zeyuan said excitedly, "In this match, Top Esports was much better than JDG in both the draft and the tempo. In the late game team fights, Aphelios is definitely stronger than Miss Fortune."

"Why do I feel like JDG is drifting away?"

In the official live stream chat, many viewers have already begun to waver:

"No, it seems the colonel was right this time!"

"Huh? How did the colonel go from 'jinxing' to a serious analysis?"

"Brother Mozi actually failed in his prediction? Wang Defa!"

"Don't rush, the game isn't over yet, anything is possible."

Soon, JDG's mid-lane tower was taken down.

The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable.

Seeing that Su Mo remained silent, Guan Zeyuan asked, "Brother Mo, I'm giving you one last chance now. Are you sure you want to continue supporting TES?"

Rita laughed and said, "Colonel, can things like this be changed all the time?"

Guan Zeyuan explained, "After all, he's Brother Mozi, right? Brother Mozi has three championships, so we think we can give him three chances to change his mind."

Su Mo replied, "Top Esports might be planning to steal Baron Nashor."

"Huh?" Guan Zeyuan was taken aback. Looking at the minimap, JDG had a lot of vision around the Baron pit, and the Rift Scuttler had been taken down by JDG!

"No way, Brother Mozi, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Guan Zeyuan was completely confused.

Rita smiled beside her.

Guan Zeyuan then asked, "Rita? Can you explain why Brother Mozi would say that?"

Rita kept everyone in suspense: "You'll find out as you read on."

"Huh? You..." Guan Zeyuan felt like he had swallowed a fly, and he was very uncomfortable. Did Rita really understand but not say anything, or did she not understand at all and just keep him in suspense?
However, after Aphelios pushed a wave of minions in the mid lane, he suddenly started walking towards the Baron pit. He walked to the top of the Baron pit and went down with Lee Sin to fight the Blast Cone!

At this moment, JDG had no vision of the Baron pit!
However, the area outside the large dragon pit is within the view of river crabs.

Rita commented, "Here it comes! The light is dim! Aphelios has many Cyclone Wheels, he can take down Baron very quickly!"

Guan Zeyuan belatedly realized: "I see, Brother Mozi, you judged it by Aphelios's blade shape? He's controlling the blade! This is definitely worth a try."

Su Mo explained, "The blade shape is one aspect, and another aspect is that the TES team likes to do this kind of thing."

"Really?" Guan Zeyuan seemed unconvinced.

Just then, the situation changed, and someone at JDG realized it!

Sending signals like crazy.

The JDG team began to assemble and rushed over to meet the enemy team.

With Aphelios still at half health, TES realized they couldn't take him down and retreated. Thresh used his lantern to catch Aphelios.

However, it won't be so easy for TES's mid and jungle players. JDG has Miss Fortune with Yuumi, making them very strong at chasing.

Left hand was kept, TES couldn't bear to sell him, so it became like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather.

JDG began their pursuit.

Su Mo commented, "Miss Gunslinger and Yuumi have strong chasing abilities. Right now, TES can only sacrifice their teammates. If they hesitate even for a moment, they will be picked off one by one."

However, TES did not follow Su Mo's advice. Instead, they dragged their feet, fighting and retreating at the same time, and were indeed defeated one by one.

Finally, Jackelove was chased to the front of the second tower. Guan Zeyuan commented, "Aphelios is baiting. He has Flash and Heal, and he's trying to trick Miss Fortune into using Flash!"

"Miss Gunslinger flashed, Aphelios counter-attacked, and the low-health Aphelios flashed away..."

Su Mo chimed in, "And then there's the Demoness; Ah Shui is too greedy."

Sure enough, Jackelove wasn't killed by Miss Fortune, but LeBlanc used her W to finish him off with a Q!
Guan Zeyuan exclaimed, "Huh? Maximum loss! Flash gone, and the person is dead. This time, Top Esports' attempt to take Baron was extremely unwise."

After this battle, the chat in the live stream changed:

"Now you realize you were wrong? You actually doubt Brother Mozi's judgment."

"I've always supported Brother Mozi."

"Me too."

"And I!"

So all those people who had been suspicious just now disappeared.
Of course, many people are just taking advantage of the chaos; since so many people are posting comments, nobody knows who posted them.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan exclaimed, "Brother Mozi, your judgment is truly amazing, even including your judgment of the behavior and habits of the TES team."

"However, even after losing this wave, TES still has a 4,000 gold lead, and Aphelios is doing well. I still choose to support TES."

Without hesitation, Su Mo replied, "I will continue to support JDG." (End of Chapter)
