LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

After obtaining the Herald's Eye, Su Mo did not rush to use it on the top lane.

The Rift Herald's greatest role is not just to destroy a tower, but also to force opponents to make decisions.

And this vanguard is now in Meiko's Sun Girl.

After returning to base to replenish his supplies, Su Mo glanced at the minimap and noticed that the enemy bottom lane had disappeared for a while. So instead of returning directly to the top lane, he swapped lanes with the bottom lane duo.

Miller immediately commented, "Mozi's Irelia has come to the bottom lane, and coincidentally, the enemy Ornn has also come to the bottom lane. This allows Mozi to continue putting pressure on Ornn. Meanwhile, Hope's Ezreal and Meiko's Leona have swapped to the top lane with Herald's Eye. This puts DWG in a dilemma. Should they send a large force to defend the top lane, or come to the bottom lane to deal with this unstoppable Irelia?"

DWG chose the former.

Showmaker's Lucian and Canyon's Lillia began to group up in the top half of the map. They couldn't allow their top lane tier 1 and tier 2 towers to fall so easily in the early game.

This was exactly what Su Mo wanted.

The bottom lane became a showdown between Su Mo and Nuguri.

Without the jungler's interference, Su Mo's playstyle became increasingly aggressive. As soon as the minion wave gathered, he stacked his passive, threw his E skill into the bush, then Q'd a minion, followed by the second E'd Ornn, and then a QAAQ combo, instantly reducing Ornn's health by almost half.

Although Ornn managed to counter-attack with his W, Irelia had lifesteal, so losing a little health was no big deal. Most importantly, Ornn missed four minions during the fight.

"Smooth as silk, Mozi's mechanics are absolutely smooth!" Guan Zeyuan couldn't help but exclaim as he watched Nuguri's few last hits under the tower. "Nuguri must be feeling utterly devastated right now. He's a top-tier top laner known for his ability to withstand pressure, but now he's barely managing to get any minions. Mozi's lane dominance is terrifying!"

Meanwhile, good news came from the upper route.

EDG's bot lane duo, in coordination with Jiejie's Lee Sin, successfully unleashed the Rift Herald, destroying DWG's top lane first and second turrets in quick succession! Their gold lead instantly widened to 3,000!

In the official live stream room, the chat was completely in an uproar:
"Economic suppression! Rapid development! This is the change brought about by Brother Mozi!"

"Please, please stop torturing Niu Bao and give him a quick death!"

"Before, Niu Bao was the one training others, but today the tables have turned, hahaha!"

Mozi: I heard you're really good at handling pressure?

With their top lane second turret destroyed, DWG was forced to retreat and defend. Meanwhile, Su Mo seized the opportunity to push down the bottom lane first turret, then returned to the fountain and immediately purchased a completed item – the Blade of the Ruined King!
When Irelia reappeared on the lane with Blade of the Ruined King, everyone knew that Nuguri's laning phase was completely over.

At the 15-minute mark, EDG held two dragons and had a 4,000 gold lead, putting them in a very favorable position.

But DWG is a world champion team after all. They didn't panic at all and started to use vision control and positioning to try to find an opportunity to turn the game around.

Canyon's Lillia kept invading EDG's jungle, while Showmaker's Lucian frequently looked for opportunities to solo kill Scout in the mid lane.

“DWG is stalling; they’re waiting for Lucian and Ashe to get their carry items,” Miller analyzed. “EDG has the advantage now, but if they can’t convert it into a win and the game drags on to the late game, their lineup will have a very low margin for error.”

Just then, Su Mo, who had been pressing down on the enemy's second bottom lane tower, suddenly disappeared from the lane.

The director's camera frantically searched the map, and finally, found the figure in the bushes on the side of the mid lane.

He was quietly waiting for his prey.

Showmaker was completely unaware of this. He once again used his E skill to slide forward and unleashed a smooth combo on Scout's Syndra, lowering her health before preparing to retreat.

It's now!

Su Mo's Irelia emerged from the bushes like a ghost! Her Q skill flew to the enemy backline minions, closing the distance!

Showmaker reacted extremely quickly, using Flash almost the instant Irelia appeared!

But it was too late!

Su Mo seemed to have anticipated his flash location. The two blades of his E skill "Twin Blades" flew out at an odd angle, stunning him precisely the moment he landed!
"My God! Predicting the Flash with E! Mozi's play was so cool!" Guan Zeyuan shouted.

In the instant of dizziness, Su Mo's ultimate move was unleashed, with countless blades forming a wall that trapped Lucian within it.

Basic attack, Q, Tiamat, then Q again! The damage exploded instantly! Showmaker didn't even have time to activate his ultimate before the screen turned gray!

"Solo kill! Mozi roamed from mid lane and unleashed an unstoppable combo, instantly killing DWG's core player, Showmaker!" Miller roared, his voice filled with disbelief.

After a brief silence, thunderous cheers erupted from the stands.

After killing Lucian, Su Mo did not leave. He calmly pinged Lillia, who was on her way, and said to Jiejie in the voice chat, "We can fight."

Jiejie's Lee Sin understood perfectly and landed a precise Sonic Wave on Lillia as she retreated.

Seeing that things were going badly, Canyon immediately used Flash to try to escape over the wall.

"Trying to leave?" Su Mo sneered.

He used his Q skill to step on a low-health minion, refreshing the cooldown, and then used Q on another minion, using it as a springboard to instantly close the distance with Lillia. The moment Lillia flashed over the wall, Lee Sin's second Q followed.

"Brother Mozi, watch out for my eye-gouging roundhouse kick!" Jiejie shouted.

The next moment, Lee Sin placed a ward and used his W to kick Lillia from the other side of the wall, precisely back to Irelia's face!

Su Mo didn't even bother using his skills; two basic attacks plus his Q skill easily took down Canyon's kill.

"Double Kill!"

A perfect top-jungle synergy led EDG to eliminate two DWG mid and jungle players, and in the process, they took down the mid-lane tower and the third dragon!
"It's over! DWG is completely destroyed!" Guan Zeyuan muttered to himself, looking at the gray screen. "This Irelia is unstoppable. It'll be difficult for DWG to make a comeback."

At this point, DWG's disadvantage was getting bigger and bigger, but surprisingly, they did not give up. Instead, they tried to find an opportunity to develop and turn the tide.

In the next few minutes, they began to frantically avoid combat, holding their ground and dragging the game into the "Baron time".

At the 23-minute mark, both sides engaged in a prolonged battle for vision and skirmishes near the Baron pit.

Su Mo knew that although his Irelia had a significant lead in equipment and level, if he forced a team fight, she would easily be countered and focused down by Ornn and Braum's counter-control and burst damage.

He needs an opportunity, an opportunity to completely dismantle DWG's defenses.

So he started split pushing the bottom lane, putting pressure on DWG's high ground towers and forcing them to send players to defend.

As expected, DWG fell for the trap and sent Nuguri's Ornn and BeryL's Braum to defend the bottom lane inhibitor.

"The opportunity has arrived!" Su Mo calmly said in the team voice chat, "4-1 split push, I can hold off at least two of them, you can go straight for Baron, don't hesitate!"

On the front lines, four EDG players instantly regrouped and began rushing Baron!

In the DWG team, Showmaker's expression was serious: "They're taking Baron! Ashe uses her E to scout vision, I'll TP over, Canyon, get ready to steal it!"

A gleaming crystal arrow shot out from the fountain, heading straight for the Baron pit. DWG immediately noticed the Baron's health rapidly decreasing.

"Baron's health is dropping very quickly! Canyon is looking for an opportunity! Showmaker's Teleport is on!" Miller's speech became faster and faster.

While everyone's attention was focused on the main battle, a fight also broke out in the bottom lane.

Seeing the battle begin at the Dragon Pit, Nuguri and BeryL could no longer sit still; they had to go and provide frontal support.

Just as they were about to leave, Su Mo used his Q ability to dash into the tower, aiming directly at the bottom lane inhibitor tower!

Nuguri and BeryL quickly turned around upon seeing this.

"Kill him first!" Nuguri hardened his head and made a decision.

The next moment, Ornn activated his ultimate, summoning a giant beast to surge in from afar, while Braum raised his shield and unleashed a Q skill at Irelia. Facing the double attack and the turret's damage, Su Mo remained expressionless. He first nimbly dodged Braum's Q, and then, just as Ornn's ultimate's second phase was about to hit him, he didn't choose to Flash. Instead, he precisely hit a nearby ranged minion with his Q skill, narrowly avoiding the fatal knock-up!
Immediately after, as Ornn and Braum closed in, Su Mo activated his W skill "Dance of the Distance," and the high damage reduction allowed him to withstand a full combo from the two of them. His health dropped to half, but he remained completely calm.

Su Mo immediately unleashed a powerful attack, slowing down and marking both of them.

Instead of immediately targeting the seemingly squishier Braum, he set his sights on Ornn.

Q, A, A Tiamat, take a breath of ruin, then Q!

Ornn's health was rapidly decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye!
Nuguri panicked and used Flash, but Su Mo's Q skill clung to him like a leech, following up again, and two auto-attacks took down Ornn.

Rita exclaimed excitedly, "He solo-killed Ornn! He took down one of them while being focused by two opponents and a turret!"

In the game, BeryL's Braum, seeing that things were not going well, immediately used Flash to escape.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mo decided not to pursue, but instead began to push the enemy's bottom lane inhibitor tower.

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield, EDG secured the Baron Nashor with a numerical advantage!
Inside TES's break room, Jackeylove excitedly slammed his fist on the table: "Is this even human? This Irelia is a god!"

369 and Karsa were stunned and speechless.

"The Baron has been taken! And DWG's top laner was solo-killed by Mozi in a 1v2 situation! Now EDG has all five players with the Baron buff. How are DWG going to defend without Ornn?" Miller's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Without pausing, the EDG players recalled to base to replenish their supplies, then grouped up and, with the Baron buff minions glowing with purple auras, surged towards DWG's mid-lane high ground like a tidal wave.

Showmaker's Lucian had no choice but to use his ultimate "Holy Gun" to clear the minion wave when facing the push of EDG's five players. However, this was nothing compared to EDG's overwhelming equipment and Baron buff.

"Mid lane inhibitor crystal, gone! EDG didn't hesitate, they immediately moved to the top lane!" Rita commented rapidly. "DWG didn't dare to engage, they could only give up! Now EDG has super minion waves in three lanes, and their gold lead has reached 11,000! The scales of victory have completely tipped in EDG's favor!"

After taking down all three lanes of inhibitor crystals, EDG opted for a cautious retreat.

They didn't get carried away because they knew that although DWG's lineup was at a disadvantage, their ability to defend the high ground was very strong, especially since the opposing Braum and Ornn could create miracles in team fights, so they chose to play it safe.

In the next few minutes, the game fell into EDG's rhythm.

EDG used the super minion wave to constantly erode DWG's jungle resources, filling half of DWG's jungle with vision and giving their opponents no chance to breathe.

"DWG is defending very well," Guan Zeyuan said, looking at the tenacious resistance from DWG, and began his analysis again. "Their current strategy is very clear: to stall until the 40-minute mark. As long as they can stall until Lucian and Ashe have three items, and Ornn can give his teammates a few more items, they will still have a fighting chance in team fights. EDG absolutely cannot give them any opportunities now."

In the official live stream room, the audience's hearts were also on edge.

"Stay calm, EDG! Don't get reckless!"

"With such a huge advantage, if we get turned around again, I'm really going to smash my computer!"

"The DWG guys are like robots, they drag things out so long, it's agonizing."

Just then, EDG, who had been unable to find an opportunity, seemed to be getting impatient.

In the mid lane, Hope's Ezreal saw Showmaker's Lucian positioned slightly forward and wanted to engage for some poke damage. After landing a precise Q, he instinctively used his E, Arcane Shift, to follow up with W and auto-attacks for even more damage.

But the instant Ezreal's E skill landed, in the shadows, Canyon's Lillia seemed to have been waiting for centuries, casting an E skill on Ezreal and then pressing R.

A pale purple halo instantly spread, hypnotizing Ezreal, who was standing at the front, and Aurora, who was next to him!
"Oh no! Hope got slept with! He was positioned too close to the front!" Miller exclaimed.

Showmaker didn't hesitate for a moment, using his E skill to slide forward and unleashing his ultimate "Crimson Blade" to spray bullets at the hypnotized Ezreal! Ashe in the distance also fired her ultimate "Enchanted Crystal Arrow" at the same time! BeryL's Braum followed up with Flash and R, then added a Q skill and his passive, and DWG's five players stretched their control chain to the limit!
Hope's Ezreal couldn't even use Flash and was instantly melted. Even Leona was reduced to low health by some unknown AoE attack.

"The ADC got instantly killed! EDG's most crucial source of sustained damage is gone!" Rita's heart sank to the bottom.

DWG seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and launched a full-scale counterattack!

Their target was very clear: Scout's Syndra, EDG's only remaining backline!

EDG's formation was thrown into chaos. Meiko's Leona awoke from her hypnosis and immediately used her ultimate to try and protect Syndra, but DWG's charge was unstoppable.

At this critical moment, Su Mo, who had been looking for an opportunity on the flank, made his move.

He was like a top-tier assassin, seeking an opportunity to take the enemy general's head amidst a sea of ​​soldiers.

His gaze was fixed on the very back of DWG's formation, on the ADC Ghost's Ashe who was unleashing a barrage of attacks!
"Jiejie, charge with me!" Su Mo shouted calmly over the voice chat.

"Here it comes!" Jiejie's Lee Sin emerged from the flank and landed a precise Sonic Wave on Showmaker, who was in pursuit!

But this was just a feint!
Just when everyone thought Lee Sin's target was Lucian, Jiejie used his second Q followed by a ward hop and W to get to DWG's backline, next to Ashe!

"R Flash! Dragon Tail Sweep!"

Jiejie unleashed a devastating spinning kick, sending the unprotected Ashe flying from the back of DWG's formation towards Irelia.

"Jiejie's target is Ashe! This kick has shattered EDG's hopes!" Miller roared!

A sharp glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

He moved mid-air as Ashe flew over!

flash!

As Su Mo used Flash, he pressed R. The R Flash emitted countless blades that formed a perfect cage. The moment Ashe landed, it trapped and slowed down Ashe and the three people next to her, Lillia, Braum, and Lucian!
Ashe landed and was marked by Lee Sin's ultimate. At this moment, Ashe had already lost half of her health.

Su Mo Q attacked twice with basic attacks, instantly killing him! The fragile marksman was as thin as paper in front of him!
After killing Ashe, Su Mo didn't even look at her corpse. He instantly used his Q skill "Blade Impact" to rush towards Canyon, who was marked by his ultimate!

Canyon tried to use his speed to create distance, but being slowed down, he couldn't escape at all, and there was also a lurking Lee Sin on his retreat route.

So, Su Mo used a close-range, basic attack to kill him.

Meanwhile, Showmaker's Lucian had already been focused down and killed by Scout's Syndra and Meiko's Leona.

Only DWG's support Braum and top laner Ornn remained on the field.

BeryL's Braum, holding his shield, desperately tried to retreat, but surrounded by four EDG players, it was impossible. He was quickly focused down and killed, and the kill fell into Su Mo's hands.

On the field, only one target remains: Nuguri's Ornn.

He had just teleported down to provide support when he saw his teammates all dead.

So he watched helplessly as four enemies rushed towards him and gave him a good beating.

Nuguri frantically pounded on the keyboard, unleashing all her skills, but against this unstoppable Irelia, all resistance seemed so pale and powerless.

With the final strike, Ornn's massive body crashed to the ground.

"Quadra Kill! Quadra Kill! Mozi got a quadra kill! He and Jiejie saved EDG! At the most critical moment, they shattered all of DWG's hopes with the most incredible plays!"

"ACE!"

When the team wipe notification echoed throughout the stadium, EDG's team voice chat exploded.

"We won! One wave! Brothers! One wave!" Meiko's voice was choked with tears.

"Nice! Mozi is awesome!" Jiejie shouted excitedly.

The four survivors, with super minions in the mid and bottom lanes, faced no further obstacles and pushed straight towards DWG's lone main crystal.

With a loud explosion, the word "Victory" in red finally appeared on the screens of all EDG players. (End of Chapter)
