LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

The moment Su Mo reached level six, he didn't hesitate for a second.

He said in the team voice chat, "Jiejie, I'm going in."

"Great! Annihilation!"

With a roar that seemed to come from the depths of hell, the sword demon's body suddenly swelled up, and a pair of dark red demon wings that blotted out the sky unfurled behind him.

The entire screen seemed to darken, and an unparalleled, destructive aura instantly enveloped the road ahead.

"He's using it! Mozi has reached level six and immediately used his ultimate!" Miller's voice rose instantly in the commentary booth, filled with astonishment and anticipation. "He's going to tower dive! He's going to tower dive an Ornn with all his skills and his ultimate! This is insane!"

Nuguri's pupils contracted sharply as he looked down at the tower.

He knew this moment would come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly and so decisively!
With one-third of his health remaining, he should have been safe under the turret.

But when those demonic wings unfolded, Nuguri sensed something was wrong.

As for running? My Flash isn't ready yet, where can I run to?

Then there's only one option—fight!

As a world-class top laner, Nuguri also has a fighting spirit running through his veins. He instantly calmed down, his mind racing, calculating every possible counter-kill.

"Jiejie, Qianjue might be nearby. Keep an eye on him." Su Mo's voice rang out again in the voice channel, calm and composed.

"Understood!" Jiejie had already controlled the Blind Monk, who lurked like a ghost in the river bushes, waiting quietly.

At that moment, Su Mo moved!
He didn't choose to start with his Q skill because that would give Ornn time to react.

He carried the greatsword and walked directly into the attack range of the defensive tower!

Once inside, Su Mo unleashed his W skill! Crimson chains coiled around Ornn like venomous snakes!
Nuguri immediately pulled back behind the tower, trying to get out of W's range.

But what Su Mo wanted was for him to retreat!

He pressed the Q skill directly, and the blade of the greatsword slammed precisely at Ornn's feet, briefly knocking him into the air!
Ornn, who was knocked into the air, did not leave the range of the chains, but instead turned around and used his Q to hit Aatrox at his feet.

Nuguri knew this was his only chance to fight back!

Just as Aatrox's W was about to end, he decisively activated his W skill [Bellfire Breath] again, entering an unstoppable state and spewing flames at Aatrox, while trying to avoid the damage from Aatrox's W and Q2.

However, Su Mo remained completely calm.

He seemed to have read Nuguri's mind. The moment the second part of W took effect, he didn't immediately follow up with Q2. Instead, he delivered a basic attack with the passive [Death-Giving Sword Aura]!

The lifesteal effect restored a small portion of his health!

Immediately after, just as Ornn's W skill was about to finish spewing flames, Su Mo calmly used his second Q!

The timing was perfect.

"boom!"

The heavy sword struck Ornn again, but Ornn's W skill was used too early and failed to apply the crucial vulnerability effect.

"It's over!" In DWG's rest room, coach Daeny's heart sank. He knew that Nuguri had already lost half the battle in this gamble.

Nuguri realized this too; his health was almost depleted.

His last hope was to use his E skill to crash into the turret, using the knock-up and the turret's damage to force a trade with this madman!
He decisively used his E skill, [Fiery Charge]!
But Su Mo naturally wouldn't let him knock him away so easily.

On the path of Ornn's E skill charge, Su Mo quickly pressed the E skill he had been saving for a long time, pulled to the side, easily dodged Ornn's E, and turned around to press the third part of Q in Ornn's position!

"Welcome... annihilation!"

The massive sword blade crashed down from the center, slamming into Ornn's bloodied body. This irresistible force tore him apart, instantly turning Ornn into a cold corpse.

It's worth mentioning that Ornn reached level six just before he died.

After killing Ornn, Su Mo's health was reduced to half, and the fourth attack from the turret was coming.

He calmly stepped out of the turret's attack range, but he was still hit and his health was reduced to only one-third.

But the danger is not over yet.

Because someone is coming from the other side!
"Canyon is here!" Guan Zeyuan's voice suddenly turned sharp in the commentary booth. "Kindred is sneaking in from the river! Mozi is low on health! He doesn't have Flash! Kindred has a chance to take down Mozi, but Jiejie is also counter-ganking. Is there a chance for them?"

In the video, Canyon's Kindred, like a shark smelling blood, activated her QW skills and rolled forward, her longbow already aimed at the low-health figure.

However, just as Kindred approached Aatrox, a golden figure, like a divine warrior descending from the sky, suddenly burst out from the bushes behind him!
"Tian Yin Bo!"

Jiejie's Lee Sin has finally made his move!
The precise Q skill hit Kindred squarely as she was about to move forward!

Canyon was shocked; he hadn't expected a blind monk to be lurking in the bushes!
He immediately abandoned the idea of ​​killing the Sword Demon and decisively used Flash to create distance.

But Jiejie's eyes were as sharp as a falcon's.

Follow up with the second Q [Echo Slam]! In mid-air, Lee Sin uses his W skill [Golden Bell] to reach Su Mo, adjusting his position while simultaneously using his E skill [Thunderclap] to slam the ground, slowing down Kindred who has just landed!
Canyon knew he was in dire straits.

The bloodied sword demon, who should have been the prey, turned around and became his death warrant.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mo, with the movement speed bonus from the Great Annihilation still active, wielded his greatsword and unleashed a fully cooled-down Q1, slashing fiercely at the slowed Kindred!

Canyon's health dropped by a significant amount instantly! He immediately wanted to activate his ultimate ability, "Sheep's Breath," to save his life.

But Jiejie saw through his intentions at that moment.

"Still trying to unleash your ultimate move?" Jiejie sneered, then pressed R.

"Ichiku!"

The dragon swung its tail!

Jiejie executed a clean and decisive R-Flash, sending Kindred flying through the air and accurately kicking her back into Su Mo's face!

Su Mo didn't even bother using the second Q. With a basic attack that was also affected by his passive, he cleanly and decisively took down Kindred's head.

"Double Kill!"

When the notification sound of a double kill echoed throughout the canyon, the entire venue erupted in cheers!

"Double kill! Mozi pulled off an incredible 1v2 comeback in the top lane! No, it's a complete 2v2 victory!" Miller exclaimed passionately. "Canyon thought he had caught a low-health enemy, but little did he know, he himself was the prey who had stepped into the trap! Jielie's counter-gank and Mozi's counter-attack! In this top-jungle skirmish, EDG completely crushed DWG!"

Inside EDG's rest area, Abu jumped up from his chair and started shaking Clearlove wildly while hugging him.
"It looks like we've got it! Mingkai! Did you see that?! That's Mozi, the Mozi we all know!"

Although the factory manager tried his best to remain calm, the corners of his mouth, which were turned up to almost reach his ears, had already betrayed his inner ecstasy.

On the other hand, on DWG's coaching bench, Daeny looked ashen-faced. He slumped back into his chair, looking utterly distressed.

He knew that the moment Canyon was eliminated, the balance of the game had already shifted.

He didn't quite understand why Aatrox, a hero who was considered to have fallen from grace through countless version updates, could, in Mo's hands, once again unleash that primal, blood-red light powerful enough to tear the sky apart.

……

[Match duration: 6 minutes and 30 seconds]

After securing a double kill and pushing the minion wave, Su Mo returned to base with a huge sum of over 1400 gold.

Without the slightest hesitation, he upgraded both longswords to Tiamat and added a Burning Gem.

When Su Mo's Sword Demon returned to the lane, Nuguri's nightmare truly began.

Tiamat's presence allowed Su Mo to push lanes at an extreme speed.

The minion wave was firmly controlled in front of the blue side's tower.

Nuguri's Ornn could only stand pitifully behind the tower, occasionally using the edge of his Q skill to graze the minions. Every time he moved forward, he would attract a Q from Aatrox...

It seems that the key teammates have started to give up on the top lane, and both the mid laner and the jungler have started to move to the bottom half of the map.

The journey has become an isolated island.

A desolate island of despair belonging to Nuguri.

However, no one was killed after that.

DWG suddenly made a move eight minutes into the game.

In DWG's team voice chat, Showmaker made a decisive decision: "Canyon, come to the bottom lane. The enemy bottom laner has 30 seconds left on their Flash. This is our only chance."

"Understood." Canyon's Kindred abandoned his newly spawned lower jungle and, from an extremely tricky angle, circled behind EDG's bottom lane turret into a blind spot. In the mid lane, Showmaker's Syndra suddenly became very aggressive, using a QE combo to force Scout's Orianna back, and then immediately abandoned the minion wave, heading towards the bottom lane river!

"Showmaker has moved! He abandoned a wave of minions and headed straight for the bottom lane!" Guan Zeyuan immediately sensed the danger. "Canyon's Kindred is also in the bottom lane! DWG's target is EDG's bottom lane duo! They're going to use the bottom lane as a weak point!"

In the bottom lane, Hope's Ezreal and Meiko's Leona were pushing the lane, completely unaware that a trap set by DWG's mid and jungle had quietly been set in motion.

BeryL's Braum capitalized on Meiko's misstep when he tried to press forward, decisively flashing in and landing a precise Q skill, Winter's Bite, on Leona!
Immediately afterwards, Ashe's ultimate ability, [Enchanted Crystal Arrow], roared in from afar!

The slowed-down Japanese woman had no chance to dodge and was stunned in place.

Showmaker's Syndra arrived and used her W skill over the wall to grab a minion, slamming it down to slow it down. At the same time, a precise QE combo stunned Meiko in place again!

Canyon's Kindred burst out from behind, following up with damage.

Meiko couldn't even unleash her ultimate ability before being instantly killed, with Syndra securing the kill.

"Meiko got instantly killed!" Miller exclaimed. "Hope's position is also in danger! Braum's ultimate [Glacial Rift] forced him to use his E!"

Hope used his E skill to dodge Braum's ultimate, but Ashe's W skill hit him, and the slowed Ezreal seemed to have no chance of escaping.

Showmaker and Canyon followed up with damage, while Ghost's Ashe calmly kited and stuck to him. In the end, Syndra secured the kill.

Double kill!

"Nice!" Showmaker smiled and said confidently, "I got two kills, the game revolves around me, I can carry."

But as soon as he finished speaking, a scream came from the top lane.

“They’re here, I’m doomed!” Nuguri yelled.

Showmaker noticed that Ornn in the top lane had been tower-dived by EDG's top, mid, and jungle players.

Although Ornn had his ultimate and Flash, he was too weak due to poor development and couldn't withstand much damage. In the end, he was easily killed under the tower by three members of EDG.

"Sorry, I should have just left without taking the first tower." Nuguri looked distressed.

Upon hearing this, Showmaker comforted him, "It's okay, I'm very fed now. Although you're a bit behind in development, your ultimate is still useful in team fights. Let's focus on developing and wait for me to carry."

"Alright, this round depends on you." Nuguri had no choice but to accept reality.

He knew that his only chance in this game was to make a difference in team fights in the late game; whether he could win depended on Showmaker.

After Ornn died in the top lane, EDG took the opportunity to take down DWG's top lane tower.

However, EDG's bottom lane tower was subsequently destroyed by DWG, who also secured the first Wind Dragon.

In the commentary booth, Miller sighed: "DWG played well this time. They knew that Jiejie was focusing on Aatrox in the top lane, so they targeted the bottom lane instead. I have to say their strategy was very clear and effective. This allowed Syndra to get two kills, which is not good for EDG. But EDG is still ahead in gold, and Mozi has four kills, so he's very fed. We'll see how the game goes from here."

Rita: "Yes."

After the fight just ended, both sides became more cautious.

The Rift Herald spawns ten minutes into the game.

Both sides began to focus their efforts on the upper reaches of the river.

This battle for the Rift Herald will directly determine the course of the mid-game.

"Both sides are starting to gather near the Rift Herald, and the battle for vision has become fierce!" Miller's voice became tense again. "In this team fight, neither side dares to make the first move. Whoever does will likely expose a weakness! However, EDG has an advantage in the top river because DWG's top lane tower has already fallen, but EDG's is still standing."

The area around the Great Dragon Pit resembles a giant chessboard. The two sides are like chess pieces, probing back and forth in the fog of war.

Meiko's Dawn is like a sentinel standing at the river mouth, directly using her body to illuminate the vision for her teammates.

Scout placed the ball at a key intersection, putting immense pressure on DWG's positioning.

Meanwhile, the DWG members also began to gather.

Showmaker's Syndra constantly used her Q skill to harass from a distance, looking for an opportunity to stun key targets.

For a moment, both sides began to pull at each other.

Just then, Su Mo moved.

Instead of going head-on, he controlled Aatrox, making a large detour from the top lane and silently infiltrating the upper part of DWG's jungle.

"Brother Mozi has circled around! He's trying to find the perfect angle to enter!" Rita's eyes lit up.

On the front line, Jiejie's Lee Sin seized the opportunity and started to take the Rift Herald, forcing DWG to make a choice.

"They've made their move!" Showmaker immediately commanded. "Let's see if we can stun Lee Sin, Ashe's ultimate ready!"

Showmaker stepped forward and unleashed a QE combo over the wall, aiming directly at Jiejie who was attacking the Rift Herald. Unfortunately, the Lee Sin retreated a step, causing Showmaker's QE to miss slightly.

But Meiko reacted quickly. The instant Syndra raised her hand, he immediately used his E skill, Zenith Blade, to target Syndra.

Syndra had to use Flash to dodge to the side, successfully avoiding Leona's E.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the front lines, a shadow from hell descended upon DWG's rear.

Su Mo's Sword Demon unleashes its ultimate move, spreading its wings!

He stormed in from DWG's jungle!
His goal is very clear—DWG's two carries, Syndra and Ashe!
"Aatrox is in! A perfect flank! DWG's backline is completely exposed to his attack range!" Miller roared as he commented.

Ghost's Ashe reacted extremely quickly, immediately using Flash to try and create distance.

But Su Mo's EQ combo had already predicted the landing point of his Flash!

The greatsword slammed down, and Ashe was precisely knocked away!

Follow up with W skill [Chains of Inferno], then Q2 sweeps, and Ashe's health is instantly reduced by half!
BeryL's Braum immediately turned around and cast W and E on Ashe, trying to protect his ADC.

Canyon's Kindred quickly came over and activated her ultimate ability, "Lamb's Breath"!
A golden halo enveloped DWG's position, granting all units within the circle immunity to death!
Canyon's ultimate was perfectly timed! It temporarily saved Ashe!
"Open up! Wait for the sheep spirit to finish its regeneration!" Su Mo said in the voice chat. He was currently at a healthy level, with more than two-thirds of his health remaining, so he definitely couldn't waste time with Ashe.

EDG immediately retreated, but DWG would not let this opportunity to counterattack slip by.
The moment the sheep's regeneration ended, Ornn immediately activated his ultimate, summoning a sun that slowed down Aatrox and Lee Sin, who had just emerged from the dragon pit.

Showmaker's Syndra ultimate was also aimed directly at Jiejie, who rushed out of the dragon pit!

The Lee Sin's health was instantly reduced to only one-third!

At this critical moment, Scout's Orianna delivered a perfect ultimate move!

He immediately used Flash + Q into the crowd, then pressed R.

The massive gravitational field instantly pulled together the three DWG members who had just been within the range of the Lamb's Breath!
"Great! Scout's ultimate pulled in three!"

Su Mo had been waiting for this opportunity!

The moment Orianna's ultimate landed, he didn't hesitate at all, and used EQ Flash to move forward!
The third Q [Darkin Blade: Final Chapter] descends from the sky!

"boom!!!"

The greatsword struck the three people who had been pulled together precisely in the center!

The devastating damage was instantly overwhelming!

Ashe and Syndra, who were at low health, were instantly killed!

Only at this moment was Ornn's second R ability pushed out.

The two R pushes were pretty good, taking down Aatrox, Lee Sin, and Leona at the same time. But at this moment, their two carries had fallen, and only Kindred had high output, but she was already struggling to hold on.

Kindred attempted to coordinate with Braum to kill the low-health Lee Sin, but when Lee Sin was at low health, he used his ultimate (R-Flash) to kick Braum, which also hit Kindred, causing Kindred to be focused down and instantly killed.

Braum tried to finish off the enemy, but unfortunately he was too clumsy and was also focused down and killed by the EDG team.

Ornn followed with an E skill to charge in and a W to try and burn the low-health Lee Sin to death, but unfortunately, Orianna used an E skill on Lee Sin, allowing him to survive.

Instead, Ornn was quickly killed.

At this point, all five members of DWG were eliminated.

Although several EDG players were left with low health, none of them died.

ACE!

In the DWG team's game, Showmaker stared blankly at the gray-toned screen, momentarily lost in thought. (End of Chapter)
