LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

In FPX's team voice chat, Nuguri's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "Guys, top lane is unplayable. His turrets are positioned too well, I can't farm at all."

"Hold on, just don't die, we're going to take the bottom half of the map!" Doinb's voice came from the fountain. Although he had died, his command strategy was still clear. "Tian, ​​you farm directly from bottom to top, protect Lwx's development! All our tempo points are in the bottom lane!"

"Understood!" After Tian's prince revived, he immediately abandoned his empty upper jungle and headed straight for the lower jungle.

Meanwhile, on EDG's side, Jiejie chuckled easily in the voice chat: "Brother Mozi, you hold your ground in the top lane, I'm going to take over their entire upper jungle. Meiko, Viper, be careful in the bottom lane, their jungler will definitely be there."

“Don’t worry,” Meiko said confidently, “I’ve already prepared the field of vision; they can’t get here.”

With three and a half minutes remaining in the game, Tian's Prince reached level three.

Without any hesitation, he went straight to the triangular bush behind EDG's bottom lane turret, ready to take action against Viper and Meiko!

"Tian is here! He came straight to the bottom lane as soon as he reached level three! FPX's tactics are executed too decisively!" Miller spoke very quickly.

However, the moment the prince stepped into the tri-bush, a ward that had been lying in wait there clearly exposed his figure on EDG's minimap!
"I saw it! Meiko's vision is crucial!"

At the same time, Doinb's Vigus quickly pushed the mid-lane minion wave under Scout's tower and began moving towards the bottom lane.

"A four-man gank on the two! It's FPX's classic four-man gank on the two again!"

In EDG's team voice chat, alarms blared instantly.

"They're here, four of them!" Meiko's voice remained calm. "Viper, pull back, don't give them a chance. Jiejie, can you come?"

"I'm counter-ganking, but there are too many of them, we can't beat them. You guys hold them off, I'll come when I can." Jiejie's Evelynn was currently in the river, but he knew that before level six, he absolutely couldn't beat the Prince and Nautilus head-on.

FPX's offensive came like a tidal wave!
Crisp's Titan seized the moment when Meiko's Rakan was out of vision in the front line, flashed and used Q, and the anchor shot out into the air!

Meiko's reaction was incredibly fast. The instant the Titan threw the hook, she used Flash to dodge the fatal hook with an extremely small body size!
When his first plan failed, Tian's prince had no choice but to charge out from behind the tower and knock Rakan away with an EQ combo!

Doinb's Vigus has also arrived, and Rakan has been stunned again with a double EQ combo.

Luo's blood volume instantly dwindled to a mere sliver.

However, at this critical moment, Viper provided a healing spell. Meiko, who had just woken up from her fear, did not choose to sit and wait for death. Instead, she used her W to lift up the prince and then used her E skill to fly towards Viper behind her, forcibly creating distance!
A desperate escape.

"Holy crap, that scared me to death! I almost thought I was going to die," Meiko said, relieved to have survived.

"The other side is really at a disadvantage this time." Viper smiled, "They've already lost a wave of minions in the mid lane."

As they talked, the camera switched to the top lane, where Su Mo's Heimerdinger had already pushed the minion wave firmly under FPX's first tower, leaving Nuguri's Gragas trembling under the tower.

The difference in last hits has widened to more than ten.

Su Mo, relying on his blue buff, recklessly consumed the wine barrels.

Even though the Gragas has a decent healing effect, it can't withstand the damage from Heimerdinger's attacks, and now it only has one-third of its health left.

Soon, five minutes into the game, the first dragon (Wind Dragon) spawned.

Taking advantage of their bot lane, FPX decisively started to take the dragon.

In EDG's team voice chat, Scout said, "Let it go, we can't engage in team fights right now. Jiejie, keep farming. Mozi, push as much as you can in the top lane."

"OK."

EDG decisively chose to exchange resources, giving up the first dragon in exchange for more valuable development time for Jiejie and Sumo.

Six and a half minutes have passed, and Jiejie's Evelyn has quietly reached level six.

The demon lurking in the darkness finally revealed her fangs.

"Jiejie's reached level six!" Miller's voice suddenly rose. "Now, the FPX players need to be careful! Especially Doinb, who doesn't have Flash!"

As if to prove his words, just as Doinb's Vigus habitually pushed the minion wave across the river, preparing to roam, a pink heart mark suddenly lit up above his head without warning!
It's Evelyn's W!

Doinb was startled and immediately pulled back, but it was too late.

Jiejie's Evelynn emerged from the shadows, landing a precise Q skill that charmed her, followed by an E skill to close the distance.

Scout's Viktor had been waiting nearby for a long time. He placed a W at Vigus's feet and then activated his ultimate [Chaos Storm], which instantly engulfed her in an electromagnetic storm!

Doinb didn't even have time to unleash his second skill before he was instantly melted!

"Solo kill! EDG's mid and jungle have executed a perfect gank!"

This kill put EDG in a better rhythm.

Although Su Mo failed to solo kill Gragas in the top lane, he still managed to whittle down the enemy turret to half health.

Next, the two junglers went back and forth, engaging in a fierce battle, but everyone was very cautious and no kills were achieved.

Ten minutes in, Jiejie returned to the mid lane, used W on Viktor, and then flashed to help Viktor kill her again.

After killing Doinb, EDG's mid and jungle players moved to the top lane river and, under Su Mo's cover, easily secured the first Rift Herald.

"EDG's momentum is on!" Wawa exclaimed excitedly. "They took advantage of Jiejie's power spike, successfully caught and killed FPX's playmaker Doinb, and secured the Rift Herald! The initiative is completely in EDG's hands!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiejie placed the Rift Herald in the top lane.

"Ow—"

With a loud bang, the vanguard crashed headfirst into FPX's already precarious top lane tower.

The first tower was easily taken down by Su Mo's big head.

The defensive line on the upper route has been completely breached, leaving a huge gap.

From then on, Nuguri's barrels didn't even dare to leave the second tower.

Su Mo, on the other hand, turned FPX's upper jungle into his own backyard, raiding jungle monsters everywhere with Jiejie.

EDG completely controlled the pace of the game due to Su Mo's unstoppable development in the top lane and jungle.

FPX is in a dilemma.

They wanted to find an opportunity to initiate a team fight, but Su Mo's big head always managed to clear a lane of minions in advance, forcing them to send some players back to defend.

They wanted to target the big boss, but Su Mo's artillery positions and stopwatch made FPX hesitate. Sending too few people would be suicide, while sending too many would lead to a rout on the main battlefield.

Fifteen minutes had passed, and people were starting to notice the second dragon.

FPX's five players gathered near the dragon pit, adopting a do-or-die stance.

EDG, on the other hand, continued to employ their kiting tactics.

Su Mo slowly moved towards the dragon pit after pushing the top lane minion wave to the bottom of the second tower.

Team battle is about to begin!
The opportunity was seized by FPX's jungler, Tian.

He controlled the prince, and from a blind spot in EDG's vision, he used an EQ flash to charge towards EDG's backline at an extremely tricky angle!
The ultimate ability, Cataclysm, precisely trapped Viper's Ezreal and Scout's Viktor!

Of course, his main target was Victor.

"Tian has engaged! A beautiful initiation!" The FPX fans at the scene erupted in thunderous cheers! Seeing this, Doinb's Vigus didn't hesitate to flash and follow up with his ultimate! Crisp's Nautilus also hooked Meiko's Rakan from the front!

Just when FPX thought they could win this team fight, EDG's counterattack began!

Meiko's Rakan, just a second before being trapped, activated his ultimate [Fleeting Glance], charming the charging Jarvan IV and Nautilus, and then used his W to deliver a perfect chain of crowd control!
Scout's Viktor, the instant the control ended, used W at his feet and activated his ultimate, the electromagnetic storm instantly engulfing FPX's front line!
However, FPX's core player, Lwx's Kai'Sa, activated his ultimate in a perfect environment created by his teammates, flew to a perfect output position, and began to reap kills!
But the next moment, Su Mo's big head teleported over.

Then, he pressed the R key!
Upgrade and enhance – Skill E!
He threw an Electronic Storm grenade, which was a whole size larger than usual, into the very center of FPX's formation!

"boom!!!"

The huge grenade exploded, and blue lightning instantly spread out!

Lwx's Kai'Sa, Doinb's Veigar, and Crisp's Nautilus—FPX's three most crucial core players—were all stunned in place at the same time!

The fighter plane is fleeting!
Without even pausing, Su Mo activated his W skill the instant he threw the grenade, pouring it all over the stunned Kai'Sa's face!
Lwx's health bar evaporated instantly!

Without their only damage dealer, FPX's team fights crumbled.

EDG has sounded the horn of counterattack!

Ultimately, EDG pulled off a perfect team fight, trading 2 for 5, with Rakan and Viktor falling to the ground.

EDG then secured the dragon and took down FPX's mid-lane tower.

The economic gap was instantly widened to seven thousand yuan!
In professional competitions, especially in a finals-level contest, this is almost a despairing number.

After taking down the dragon and the mid-lane tower, EDG didn't rush things, but instead demonstrated their terrifying dominance as the "Kings of Operation".

"EDG is changing their strategy!" Miller exclaimed. "The classic 1-3-1 split push! Mo's Heimerdinger is going bot lane, Scout's Viktor is going top lane, and the other three are anchoring mid lane while also invading the jungle. This is EDG's most familiar 'snowball' rhythm!"

As the commentators said, EDG's vision began to resemble a giant spider web, gradually encroaching on FPX's territory.

Meiko and Jiejie each used a scanner, and wherever they went, FPX's wards disappeared like harvested wheat.

"Tian is having a really tough time right now," Wawa sighed, watching the Prince cautiously exploring the bushes on the screen. "His jungle is full of EDG players, and he could step into a trap with every step he takes. Forget about counter-jungling, he can't even defend his own jungle camps."

FPX's economy is constantly shrinking.

Twenty minutes passed in the suffocating tension that gripped the FPX team.

Baron Nashor has descended upon Summoner's Rift.

"Baron Nashor has spawned!" Guan Zeyuan's voice rang out. "This is FPX's last chance! They have to do something, otherwise EDG will use their minion wave and vision advantage to take Baron Nashor without taking any damage and end the game!"

The atmosphere in FPX's team voice chat was heavy.

"Without any visibility, I dare not go out at all." Crisp frowned slightly as he looked at the small, pitch-black map.

Doinb stared at the screen, his brain racing, trying to find a glimmer of hope in this deadly situation.

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto the bottom lane.

There, Big Head was leading a huge wave of minions, swaggering down to the bottom lane's second tower.

He had even set up three gun emplacements in front of the tower, looking as leisurely as if he were strolling in his own backyard.

"Go bot lane!" Doinb said with a hint of determination. "Give them Baron! We'll gank Heimerdinger! If we can kill him, take his bounty, and disrupt EDG's split-pushing rhythm, we still have a chance!"

This is a crazy decision, a decision that's risking everything!

The five FPX players abandoned their fight for Baron Nashor and pounced on the Yordle in the bottom lane from all directions like five hungry wolves!
In EDG's team voice chat, Meiko immediately noticed FPX's movements: "They've all disappeared! They've probably gone to gank Mozi! Let's go for Baron!"

"Brother Mozi, how long can you hold out?" Jiejie asked while attacking the dragon.

Su Mo looked at the five red dots surrounding the screen from all directions, a playful smile curving his lips.

Instead of retreating, he maneuvered Big Head to the center of the three gun emplacements.

He said calmly, "I'll try to... kill as many as possible."

Before the words were even finished, FPX's offensive had already begun!
Nuguri's Gragas took the lead, using E-Flash to smash his massive body straight into Big Head!
"They're here! FPX's five players are ganking us!" Miller's voice instantly rose to his throat.

However, just as the barrel was about to crash into him, Su Mo made a quick movement, avoiding the barrel's first wave of control and damage!

At the same time, an E was thrown at the barrel's face, stunning him.

"Buzz!"

The three turrets, which were already fully charged, were activated at the same time, and blue laser beams poured down on the nearest barrel like a torrential rain!

Nuguri's health dropped by more than half in an instant!

Seeing this, Su Mo pressed RQ again.

Upgrade and enhance – Q skill!
A massive, reinforced turret landed with a thud, standing in the center of the three smaller turrets like a guardian deity!
"Boom boom boom!"

The powerful laser beams from the reinforced turrets, combined with the salvo from the smaller turrets, instantly covered the entire battlefield with firepower!
Tian's Prince used his EQ combo to enter the fray, and then used his ultimate, "Collapse," to trap the enemy's head!
Doinb's Vigus ultimate flew in!

Lwx's Kai'Sa also flew in!

Crisp's Titan Hook!
FPX's five skills rained down on Big Head like fireworks!
Su Mo's health dropped rapidly!
In his final moments before dying, he threw out his W, hitting the Prince and Nautilus who were charging at the front!

The target is Nuguri, who has the lowest health!

"I tried my best..."

Su Mo's voice rang out in the voice chat, and Da Tou's body fell to the ground as he was ganged up on by the five FPX players.

But his gun emplacements are still there!
Even after its master was killed, that massive reinforced turret continued to unleash its firepower relentlessly!

Nuguri, hit by W's full barrage, was the first to fall!

Immediately afterwards, Tian, ​​who had been hit by countless laser beams from the turret, also fell down.

Double Kill!
The big head icon turned gray, but a shocking double kill notification popped up on the screen!

"My God!!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in astonishment, "One against five! And he killed two of them! Is this Mo's Big Head?!"

"That turret's damage is outrageous!" Miller roared. "FPX killed Heimerdinger, but they paid the price with their top and jungle lives! And... Baron... is gone too!"

"Ow"

With a mournful cry, Baron Nashor fell at the feet of four EDG players.

FPX managed to kill a big guy with five players, but in return, they lost Baron, lost two players, and were left with low health.

This exchange has left them with absolutely nothing.

"It's over." Wawa sighed. "EDG took down Baron, and their gold lead is now 12,000. The game is over."

With the Baron buff, the four members of EDG marched like a precise bulldozer from the mid lane onto FPX's high ground.

After being resurrected, Su Mo was also teleported to the main battlefield. (End of Chapter)
