LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest doubt!
The moment he leveled up, Su Mo instantly learned the W skill and charged straight at Sion in the bush!

When 369 saw the bald mage rush into the bushes like a madman, his heart jumped into his throat!
He subconsciously activated his Q skill, Brutal Strike, to charge up, intending to knock up this arrogant Ryze.

After all, in his opinion, if he was standing in the grass and Ryze couldn't see him, it would be easy for him to hit him with Q.

But he soon discovered that when he finished charging up, Ryze suddenly stopped at the maximum distance and wouldn't move forward any further, causing his Q skill to automatically release and hit nothing.

After using his Q skill, Ryze took a step forward and then used Q followed by his W skill, [Rune Imprisonment]!
Immediately afterwards, Su Mo used his Q skill [Overload], triggering the rune's passive effect, which provided him with a shield and a brief movement speed boost!
QWQ!

A smooth combo was executed in a very short time, and Sion's health bar, which had already been reduced to almost half, instantly dropped to one-third!

Su Mo didn't stop. After using up all his skills, he continued to move forward, constantly using basic attacks to deal damage.

"Holy crap, there's definitely a hidden camera in this bush, but how could he possibly have hidden cameras in two different bushes?!"

At that moment, 369 was almost certain that the opponent had their eyes on the grass.

Otherwise, even if the opponent is a god, it's impossible to dodge his Q skill at the extreme distance without any vision.

Thinking of this, 369 fled in a sorry state towards the turret, ignoring even the minions that were about to die.

Now, forget about last-hitting minions; he's even afraid of getting killed by Ryze if he tries to gain experience.

After all, he now only has less than a third of his health left.

Seeing Sain's actions, Su Mo did not continue the pursuit.

When he was playing against Sion, he lost some health to enemy minions, but it wasn't a big deal. However, he only had a third of his mana left, so he had to use it sparingly.

Next, he started slowly pushing the lane, blocking the minions and compressing Sion's living space.

Although it was impossible to completely force Sion out of the experience zone, Sion no longer dared to come over to last-hit minions.

Unfortunately, because he had previously attracted the minions' aggro, the minion wave was now pushing towards the enemy, and Sion was waiting for the minions to enter the tower.

Su Mo glanced at Sion again and noticed that the opponent had started using health potions and was slowly recovering his health. With the Doran's Shield on him, killing him would be quite difficult.

After thinking it over, Su Mo decided to temporarily put aside his murderous intent and wait for the right opportunity.

Soon, the third wave of minions arrived, and Su Mo easily pushed them down, reaching level three.

The third wave of minions included siege minions. At this point, a large number of minions had gathered and entered the enemy's turret, so Su Mo followed them into the turret.

He ignored Sion behind the turret and started attacking the turret and taking its armor.

Seeing Ryze's arrogant behavior, 369 decisively charged up his Q to clear out the minions.

But to his surprise, when he was charging up his Q skill, Ryze suddenly took a step forward and was knocked into the air along with the minions by his Q skill.

369 narrowed his eyes and immediately realized something was wrong.

Because of this one Q skill, a wave of minions under the tower focused their fire on him.

He noticed his health was dropping rapidly, and saw Ryze, who had landed, approaching him again!

Ryze has a murderous aura!
369 frowned. He knew Ryze wanted to kill him. If he ran away decisively, he could definitely escape.

But if we just leave like this, what will happen to all these sports car lines?
He simply couldn't abandon so many minions, or rather, no top laner could do that.

So he watched helplessly as Ryze unleashed a QAEQAWQA combo, pouring all his skills onto him.

Although 369 pressed W to block some damage with his shield, Ryze's damage was still considerable. Combined with the damage from the minions, his already low health was instantly reduced to just over 20 points.

After using his skills, Ryze was out of mana. After taking some damage from the turret, he pulled away from the turret.

A second later, Sion lay stiffly behind him, attacked by the minions.

"First Blood!"

The notification sound for First Blood echoed throughout Summoner's Rift!
369 stared at the gray screen and sighed softly.

He had actually anticipated this outcome the moment he got Q's turn on Ryze.

But he didn't expect Ryze to be so confident, calculating damage to such an extreme degree.

Fortunately, although he died, Sion's corpse successfully cleared a large wave of minions under the tower, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Meanwhile, Karsa had just finished clearing the red buff and was preparing to counter-gank the bottom lane as planned when the bad news from the top lane froze him in place.

He looked at the gray Sion icon, then at his fully healed bear, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside him.

All I could do was sigh quietly.

Meanwhile, Su Mo, who secured the first blood, was enjoying the praise from his teammates.

Meiko was very proud: "I deserve a third of the credit for Mozi's solo kill. If it weren't for my ward placement, Mozi wouldn't have been able to whittle down Sion's health so much earlier, and he wouldn't have been able to kill him under the tower! Everyone, praise me!"

Jiejie rolled her eyes: "It was clearly Brother Mozi who told you to put them there, okay? Anyone who didn't know better would think that you, Meiko, went and put them there on your own initiative."

"Hehe, just tell me if the eye is mine or not!" Meiko didn't care at all and remained proud.

To this, Su Mo laughed and said, "Meiko deserves half the credit for this, definitely half!"

"I knew Brother Mozi was a reasonable person!" Meiko was even more smug, leaving his teammates speechless.

The atmosphere within the EDG team is very harmonious and relaxed.

Of course, everyone also kept up with the online battles.

Su Mo noticed that the laning phases on other lanes were also in full swing.

In the mid lane, Scout's Orianna faced off against Knight's Viktor. This was a clash between two top LPL mid laners, with meticulous attention to detail in their laning phase.

Knight's Viktor played very aggressively, using his Q skill's shield and his E skill's ranged poke to constantly put pressure on Scout.

Scout, on the other hand, displayed the composure of a veteran, constantly repositioning himself using Orianna's ball and retaliating with Q and W, while simultaneously using his E skill's shield to mitigate damage. Both players were neck and neck in terms of health and CS, with neither gaining a clear advantage. This was a closely contested match; the key to victory lay in who could secure jungle assistance first.

As for the bottom lane, Viper's Tristana and Meiko's Alistar faced off against Jackeylove's Xayah and Ming's Rakan.

EDG's bot lane duo has stronger early-game wave clear. Viper uses his E skill [Explosive Spark] to quickly clear the wave, constantly pushing it under TES's tower in an attempt to deplete its plating.

TES's Xayah and Rakan duo played very cleverly. They gave up early lane control, using Rakan's sustain and Xayah's ability to quickly clear minion waves under the tower, farming steadily while waiting for their jungler to arrive. When the game reached three and a half minutes, the opportunity arrived!
After clearing the lower jungle, Karsa's Volibear circled around to the triangular bush behind EDG's bottom lane turret.

Ming's Rakan seized the opportunity, using a W skill followed by Flash to instantly lift Viper, who was attacking the tower!

"TES has made their move! Karsa has flanked!" Wawa's speech quickened instantly. "Ming's initiation was incredibly decisive! Viper is under control!"

Meiko reacted extremely quickly. The moment Rakan raised his cannon, Meiko used his W skill [Savage Charge] to knock away Xayah who was following up, and at the same time used his Q skill [Ground Smash] to knock up Rakan who was landing, covering Viper's retreat.

But Karsa's Volibear had already activated his Q skill and charged in, biting the Tristana. With Jackeylove's Xayah's damage output, they instantly brought Viper to low health!

Viper was forced to use his W (Rocket Jump) and Flash, and fled in a sorry state.

"A very successful gank!" Miller analyzed. "TES executed their tactics very decisively! Karsa completely abandoned the top half of the map to help the bottom lane establish an advantage! Although they didn't get a kill this time, they forced Viper to use both summoner spells. In the next few minutes, EDG's bottom lane will have a very difficult time!"

However, just as TES fans were cheering for the successful gank in the bottom lane, the laning phase in the top lane had completely devolved into a one-sided "torture".

After securing the solo kill, Su Mo's Ryze recalled to base. He immediately pulled out a Tear of the Goddess, a Killing Ring, and a small spellbook. When he logged back in, 369's Sion had just teleported back to lane.

A Ryze with four small items.

A Sion with only Doran's Shield.

The difference is now worlds apart.

Su Mo stopped controlling the lane and instead started pushing the lane like crazy.

He used his E skill's spread and his Q skill's AOE damage to quickly clear the minion wave, then stood in front of the wave and used basic attacks and skills to constantly harass Sion under the tower.

369 was suffering terribly. He could only use his E skill to last-hit a few minions from a distance. He even had to be careful when smelling experience points, for fear of being crippled by Ryze's combo.

The number of last hits is widening at a visible rate.

At the six-minute mark, when Su Mo's Ryze reached level six, his CS (creep score) was already a full 32 CS ahead of his opponent Sion!

“This isn’t even a laning phase anymore,” Wawa said, shaking her head helplessly as she looked at the screen. “This is a last-hitting tutorial. Mozi has turned the top lane into a single-player game, and 369 is the bot that keeps getting refreshed.”

In TES's voice chat, 369's voice was already tinged with tears: "Karsa, I really can't take it anymore. He keeps targeting me. I've used up all my health potions, and he's already taken three layers of the tower armor."

Karsa was also in a bind. He glanced at the bottom lane and saw that although Jackeylove and Ming had suppressed Viper who didn't have his summoner spells, Meiko's Alistar defense was impeccable, making it difficult for them to find an opportunity to kill him.

"Just bear with it a little longer," Karsa could only try to comfort her. "I'll see if I can help you when I pass Level 6."

However, Su Mo didn't give them that chance at all.

After pushing another wave of minions to the tower, Su Mo glanced at Sion, who was standing alone under the tower, and then at the position of his own jungler, Trundle, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

Instead of diving the tower, he made a move that surprised everyone.

He called Jiejie over, and the two of them stood together in the river, then he pressed R.

R Skill! [Warp Leap]!
A blue portal suddenly opened beneath his feet! And on the other side of the portal was the bush behind the red buff in TES's upper jungle!
"What is he doing?!" Miller's eyes widened. "Mozi didn't go back to base after pushing the lane; he used his ultimate and led the jungler into the enemy jungle! Who is his target?!"

The answer will be revealed soon.

When Su Mo's Ryze stepped out of the portal, he saw the Thunder Roar attacking the red buff.

Karsa was focused on kiting the jungle monsters and was completely unaware that two people had silently appeared behind him.

"Xiba!"

The moment Karsa saw the Ryze and the troll, his expression instantly changed from focused to horrified!
Without a second thought, he activated his Q skill to accelerate and try to escape.

But Su Mo wouldn't give him a chance, and immediately used QEW to pin him to the spot.

Then, we'll coordinate with the trolls to charge in and give them a good beating!
The level 5 bear already had only two-thirds of its health remaining. Under the combined attack of two people, it couldn't withstand it for long and was killed on the spot in less than two seconds.

"Another kill! This time in the jungle!" Wawa's voice was numb. "Karsa thought the safest place had become Ryze's hunting ground! Mozi's understanding of the map and his grasp of timing have reached an unbelievable level!"

After killing the bear, Su Mo didn't even return to base. Instead, he continued to control the minion wave and put constant pressure on 369.

After killing the bear, Su Mo didn't even return to base. Instead, he went back to the top lane, continued to control the minion wave, and constantly put pressure on 369.

As for Jiejie, he started looting the enemy's red buff and six birds.

Soon, with just eight and a half minutes left in the game, Su Mo's Ryze was level 8 with 105 CS. Meanwhile, 369's Sion was level 5 with 48 CS.

The atmosphere in EDG's team voice chat can't be described as relaxed; it's downright joyful.

Ten minutes later, the first Rift Herald spawned.

The EDG team began to gather in the upper half of the river.

Jiejie's troll took the lead, heading straight into the vanguard pit to start dealing damage.

Meiko's Minotaur positioned vision at the river entrance, like a gatekeeper, ready to initiate a team fight at any moment.

TES, on the other hand, was naturally unwilling to give up their first large neutral resource so easily.

"We need to go check this out, we can't let them take it so easily," Karsa commanded in a deep voice over the voice chat. Despite his recent nightmare, his professionalism as a veteran allowed him to quickly adjust his mindset. "Knight, JackeyLove, push your lane and move up immediately. 369, clear your minion wave under the tower and come over too. We're not in a rush to fight, we'll just kite outside and look for opportunities to contest!"

"it is good!"

The TES team began to approach the river from the entrance of the blue side's jungle.

A team fight over the Rift Herald is about to break out!
"EDG has started pushing the Rift Herald! The Trundle is moving very fast!" Wawa's speech quickened. "TES doesn't want to give up! Four of them have already surrounded us! Karsa's Volibear is at the front, and Knight's Viktor is looking for a good position to deal damage from behind!"

Just as the TES team had positioned themselves at the river entrance, attempting to use their skills to whittle down the Trundle's health, Meiko, who had been standing in the bushes, made a move!

Instead of using the conventional WQ combo, he seized upon a slight misstep in Karsa's positioning and launched a surprise Q-flash!
"Moo!"

With a flash of golden light, the Minotaur Chieftain's figure instantly appeared on the bear's face, and his Q skill [Ground Smash] slammed down, forcefully lifting Karsa off the ground!

"Meiko got in! A decisive Flash-Q, he got in on the enemy front-line Volibear!" Miller exclaimed.

"We can attack!" Scout's Orianna instantly gave the command, executing a perfect R to pull the knocked-up Volibear, which also affected the nearby Rakan!
At the same time, Su Mo's Ryze, upon seeing his teammates initiate the team fight, did not hesitate at all and immediately pressed his R skill [Warp]!
A blue portal suddenly opened beneath his feet!
And on the other side of the portal, right there, was the retreat route of TES's backline carries—Xayah and Viktor!
"Brother Mozi is on the move!" Wawa's voice suddenly rose. "He didn't choose to go in head-on, but instead used a powerful ultimate to block the retreat of everyone on TES! Jiejie's Trundle is on the move too! This is a trap to beat them all!"

Jackeylove and Knight were terrified when they saw the blue halo that appeared behind them! (End of Chapter)
