LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

Just as Rakan took to the air, Meiko countered with her E skill, "Pendulum of Doom," bringing Rakan back from mid-air and interrupting his entry into the fray!

"Meiko's doom pendulum is crucial!" Miller exclaimed.

When his first attempt failed, Tarzan's Olaf had no choice but to charge out from behind the tower, trying to use his Q skill to slow down and lock down the enemy.

"Kill the support! Kill the support!" Icon shouted in the voice chat. His Seraphine had arrived and was ready to provide support at any time.

Tarzan's Olaf activated Ghost and charged at Meiko's Thresh like a mad dog, axe in hand!
Meiko remained calm under pressure, pulling Olaf backward while simultaneously using her Q skill, Death Sentence, to accurately predict Olaf's movement, briefly freezing him in place.

Viper's Ezreal didn't choose to run away, but instead stayed within the turret's attack range, constantly using his Q skill and basic attacks to whittle down Olaf's health.

At the same time, Meiko threw a W lantern at the wall next door.

The next moment, the blast cone was lit up, and Jiejie's Widowmaker came from the jungle, picked up the lantern and flew over, working with Ezreal to bring Olaf, who was charging at the front, to low health!
"Let's go! Let's go!" Icon immediately signaled to retreat when he saw that things were going badly.

Ultimately, LNG's long-planned four-man gank on the 2nd ended with Tarzan's Olaf having to use Flash to escape in a panic, thanks to EDG's perfect defense and counterattack.

LNG not only failed to secure a single kill, but their bot lane duo was also severely depleted and forced to recall, losing a large wave of minions.

While everyone was cheering for the thrilling back-and-forth battle in the bottom lane, no one noticed that Su Mo in the top lane had quietly widened the CS gap to over twenty.

"LNG's most crucial wave of momentum was neutralized by EDG!" Miller breathed a sigh of relief. "LNG is in trouble now! They sacrificed their top lane momentum to try and create an advantage in the bottom lane, but now... they've gained nothing!"

“What’s even more terrifying,” Rita’s gaze fell on the top lane, “look at Mozi’s farm. Jayce is already significantly ahead of Ornn in gold! LNG’s Ornn hasn’t even reached 30 CS yet!”

The atmosphere in FPX's team voice chat became somewhat heavy.

“Damn it,” Tarzan said, sounding a little frustrated, “their jungler was counter-ganking, I didn’t expect that.”

"It's okay, stay calm," Icon was still trying to reassure the team. "We still have a chance. Once I reach Level 6, we can look for more opportunities!"

However, EDG gave them no chance to breathe.

Five minutes in, Jiejie's Evelynn easily secured the first dragon without any interference.

Ten minutes later, Jiejie secured the Rift Herald.

EDG had complete control over the map resources in the upper half of the map.

Meanwhile, Su Mo, playing on the top lane, increased his pressure on Ale to a new level after returning to base and upgrading to two longswords and a Tear of the Goddess.

He was no longer satisfied with simply pushing the lane, but began to frequently use the burst damage of his Q skill and the speed boost of his E skill to go forward and unleash the QER combo in cannon form. Nuguri's Ornn's health was suppressed to a very dangerous level, and he could only hide under the tower and tremble, not daring to even smell the experience.

At the 8-minute mark, Su Mo's Jayce was already two levels ahead of Ale's Ornn, with the CS difference widening to forty.

He pushed a large wave of minions under Ornn's tower, and then, just when everyone thought he was going to recall, he controlled Jayce and walked directly into LNG's upper jungle right in front of Ornn.

There, the newly respawned stone beetle is quietly waiting for its owner.

"What...what is he doing?!" the doll exclaimed. "He's going to eat Tarzan's monsters now?! He's literally eating whatever's available! It's so unreasonable!"

Ale watched Jayce leisurely farming in his own jungle, trembling with anger, yet utterly helpless.

He wanted to go up and stop it, but he knew that as soon as he stepped out of the turret's range, the demon would turn around instantly and beat him up.

What's most infuriating is that he can't even touch Jess and can only take the beating for nothing.

"LNG can't wait any longer! They need to regain their momentum in other lanes!" Miller analyzed. "We can see that Icon's Seraphine has almost abandoned the mid lane minions and is moving towards the bottom lane! This time, they're going to launch a more decisive attack!"

Nine minutes into the game, Icon's Seraphine abandoned a large wave of minions that were about to push into the tower in the mid lane, like a gambler who had gone all in!

A magic circle filled with musical notes lit up in front of EDG's bottom lane turret, locking onto EZ who was dealing damage!

"Icon moved! LNG is once again ganking the bottom lane with four heroes!" Wawa spoke at lightning speed. "At the same time, Tarzan's Olaf activated Ghost and charged straight out of the river! Crisp's Rakan seized the opportunity, flashing and using W to engage. This time, his target was very clear: Meiko's Thresh!"

This time, LNG's attack was even faster and more unreasonable than before!
Rakan's W successfully lifted Meiko, and Icon's Seraphine's R descended from the sky, firmly controlling Thresh who had just landed!
Olaf clung to her like a mad dog, while Light's Kai'Sa unleashed a barrage of attacks, unleashing her Q skill, Icathian Rain, in an instant!

"Meiko got instantly killed!" Rita exclaimed. "LNG's focus fire was so decisive! They're going to use their numerical advantage to forcefully tear apart EDG's bottom lane defense!"

Meiko's Thresh barely made a move before turning into a corpse.

First Blood!

First blood, taken by Light's Kai'Sa!
Seeing this, Viper's Ezreal immediately used his E skill to retreat behind the tower, while Jiejie's Evelynn also arrived to provide support.

But LNG wouldn't let it go!
Icon's Seraphine used an enhanced version of her E skill, predicting Ezreal's landing point and immobilizing him!
"Viper was retained too!"

Despite Viper using Flash, Light's Kai'Sa followed up with Flash and an auto-attack to finish off Ezreal!

Double Kill!

"Double kill! Light got a double kill!" Miller's voice suddenly rose. "LNG used a near-perfect four-man gank to successfully open up the game in the bottom lane! This double kill is crucial for Kai'Sa! They sacrificed the top lane, but finally got the result they wanted most!"

In this team fight, LNG achieved a 2-for-0 exchange and took down EDG's bottom lane tower.

The economic gap was quickly closed.

The trend of comments in the live stream instantly reversed.
[LNG is awesome! This is the dark horse we've been waiting for! Never give up!]

[Light is taking off! This is going to be a tough game!]

EDG's bot lane was too careless and got caught out in a big fight.

[Don't rush, let's look at the top laner's last-hitting.]

[Mozi's development in the top lane is insane; EDG's biggest boss is emerging!]

As the comments said, when LNG was wreaking havoc in the bottom lane, Su Mo's Jayce went to take down the Rift Herald, then pushed down the top lane tower first, and then ate the enemy's Krugs before going back to base.

After returning home, he immediately pulled out the "Demon Sect" and the "Serrated Dagger".

His development is already at least three or four minutes ahead of the timeline.

Soon, 16 minutes had passed, and the second dragon spawned.

The ownership of this little dragon is of great importance to both sides.

EDG wants to secure the Dragon Soul and take control of the game.

LNG, on the other hand, hopes to take advantage of Kai'Sa's power spike and expand their lead through team fights.

The two sides engaged in a protracted battle of vision and attrition near Xiaolongkeng.

On EDG's side, Su Mo didn't join the team fight immediately. He pushed the top lane minion wave across the river before leisurely approaching the dragon pit.

LNG assembled its entire force, displaying a stance of not yielding an inch.

"A team fight is coming!" Miller held his breath. "Both sides are looking for an opportunity! Whoever strikes first will gain the upper hand!"

The opportunity was seized by LNG's auxiliary Crisp.

He controlled Rakan, activating his ultimate skill [Flash of Light] from outside EDG's vision, and dashed into EDG's formation like a ghost, charming Jiejie and Scout who were at the front!

"Crisp has arrived! A beautiful opening sequence!"

Seeing this, Icon's Seraphine didn't hesitate to Flash and follow up with R's root!
Tarzan's Olaf activated his ultimate, charging straight into EDG's backline like a truck!
"LNG's group purchase was perfect!"

Just when LNG thought they would win the team fight decisively, EDG's counterattack began!

Meiko's Thresh, just a second before being charmed, used his Q skill to hook Seraphine, who was charging at the front!
Immediately afterwards, he pressed the R skill, and five pale green walls instantly rose up, splitting LNG's formation before he fell to the ground and died.

The moment Scout's Viktor's control ended, he used his W [Gravity Field] at his feet, and then activated his ultimate [Chaos Storm], an electromagnetic storm that instantly enveloped the charging LNG front line!

Viper's Ezreal stayed at the back, constantly using his Q and W skills to kite and deal damage.

"EDG's counterattack was also very decisive!"

However, LNG's core player, Light's Kai'Sa, activated her ultimate in a perfect environment created by her teammates, dodged Viktor's crucial skill, and then unleashed a barrage of attacks after landing!
EDG's front line health is dropping rapidly!
At this critical moment, a figure that chilled everyone at LNG appeared from the river mouth on the flank.

It's Su Mo's Jess!

He didn't choose to enter the game immediately because he had just come from the top lane!
Su Mo landed a QEW combo on Karsa and Seraphine, then switched to hammer form. With the speed boost from E and his ultimate, he instantly dashed into LNG's backline with a Q skill, Sky Leap!
His target was Kai'Sa, who was dealing massive damage!

"Mo has entered! His target is Light!"

Light reacted extremely quickly, and upon seeing Jayce charging in, he immediately used Flash to dodge Jayce's crucial Q.

However, the instant Light flashed, Su Mo also used his E skill and flashed!
With a powerful slam, Kai'Sa, who had just flashed to the ground, was slammed against the wall, and then three auto-attacks instantly killed her!

"My God!" The doll had already stood up. "What kind of damage is that?! Light's health bar vanished instantly!!!"

Light's screen instantly turned black and white.

Jayce switched to cannon mode and, with a basic attack, killed Seraphine, who was already low on health!
Double Kill!

Seeing their two core units fall, LNG decisively retreated.

Both sides stopped short of engaging in a direct confrontation. LNG began to retreat, and EDG did not pursue but instead started to take the dragon.

After securing the dragon, the EDG team returned to base to replenish their supplies.

After both players returned to base to replenish their supplies, Baron Nashor had already arrived when they returned to their lanes!
The respawn of Baron Nashor was like an invisible horn, pushing the pace of the game to its climax.

Both sides began to focus their efforts on the dragon.

"The decisive moment is here!" Miller's voice was tense. "The battle between the two sides has moved from the lanes to the Baron pit! Now, it's not just about mechanics, but also vision, patience, and decision-making!"

Like the most experienced hunters, EDG began to lay a trap around the Baron pit.

Meiko's Thresh used scanning and vision wards to gradually erode LNG's vision in the upper jungle, turning the dark fog of war into EDG's hunting ground.

LNG is in a dilemma.

They knew that if they allowed EDG to control the vision of the entire top half of the map, it would be tantamount to handing their own necks to the enemy's blade.

However, rashly entering the dark jungle to clear wards could very likely give EDG an opportunity to ambush them.

"LNG has to do something!" Wawa analyzed anxiously. "They're trying! Crisp's Rakan and Tarzan's Olaf are grouped together, cautiously probing the river, trying to clear EDG's vision!"

A tug-of-war over vision ensued. You place a ward, I destroy it; I place a fake ward, you clear it with a scanner.

The support and jungler from both sides are engaged in a silent yet deadly battle in this small river area.

But the real deciding factor lies on the other side of the map.

Su Mo's Jayce did not choose to group up after confirming that his teammates had taken control of the Baron pit.

He controlled the fully-formed Jayce, leading a massive wave of minions, and pressed powerfully towards LNG's bottom lane second turret.

"Mo has made a move! He's not going for Baron, he's chosen to split push bot lane!" A hint of surprise flashed in Rita's eyes. "This is the most unsolvable, open strategy! LNG now faces a choice: go for Baron or gank Jayce?"

At the LNG match, everyone's spirits sank to rock bottom.

"Ale, go defend! You have TP!" Icon decisively ordered in the voice chat. "The four of us will look for an opportunity; we can't let him steal our base!"

Ale's Ornn had no choice but to abandon the main battle in the Baron area and go to the bottom lane.

He looked at Jayce, whose equipment was almost a full item ahead of his own, and felt a sense of powerlessness.

He wasn't sure if he could handle it...

The battlefield in front of the Dragon Pit has turned into a 4v4 battle.

"LNG's chance has arrived!" Miller's voice rose again. "It's now a 4v4 situation, and LNG's lineup has a stronger initiation capability! They need to find an opening!"

Opportunities are fleeting.

LNG's command center, Icon, seized upon a minor positioning mistake by EDG during ward placement!
“Turn on Scout!” Icon said.

Crisp understood perfectly!

He maneuvered Luo, suddenly appearing forward from a cunning patch of grass on the side!

R skill followed by W!

A golden figure slashed across the battlefield, heading straight for EDG's core mid-laner, Scout's Viktor! He lifted Viktor up.

"Crisp's here! It's him again! He found Scout!" the doll exclaimed excitedly.

Icon's Seraphine followed up with her enhanced E almost simultaneously, once again immobilizing the lifted Viktor!

Tarzan's Olaf activated Ghost and R, ignoring all crowd control, charging towards Viper's Viktor like a raging bull! (End of Chapter)
