LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

"Brother Mozi is too meticulous!" Miller exclaimed. "Using Yone's ultimate invulnerability to counter Vigus's W fear, this is not just a matter of hand speed, it is the ultimate prediction of Vigus's skill casting!"

"That's Mozi!" Wawa exclaimed. "He knows this game so well! Knight didn't even have time to use his ultimate before he was instantly killed. Vigus's crucial passive control was practically useless against Yone! This solo kill completely shattered the balance in the mid lane!"

At this moment, in EDG's team voice chat...

"Nice, Brother Mozi." Jiejie exclaimed sincerely while swiping F6, "This Vigus is probably going to be depressed."

Su Mo returned to base to replenish supplies, buying attack speed boots and a midday quiver. He said, "Jiejie, control the river crab in the top half of the map. The vanguard will spawn soon. We have lane priority, so move in immediately."

"Roger that!"

Ten minutes passed quickly, and the first Rift Herald spawned.

This is a crucial point in the rhythm.

Although Knight had just died once, Vigus, who revived and teleported back to lane, didn't lose too much experience. TES obviously didn't want to give up this Herald easily.

In TES's voice chat, JackeyLove glanced at the top lane and asked, "Can we engage? Wayward, how's your rage level?"

"Great rage, getting bigger soon!" Wayward's Gnar is building up rage in the top lane, ready to provide support at any time.

"Then let's take it! We can't let them get the lead and set the pace, otherwise Yone will start swimming away." Xiaotian said through gritted teeth.

Both sides began to gather at Dalongkeng.

EDG took the lead and Jiejie's Lee Sin immediately initiated the Herald.

Su Mo's Yone stood at the narrow pass in the river bushes, holding two swords, like a gatekeeper, blocking TES's only way in.

“They want to fight.” Meiko’s Rakan was providing vision on the flank and spotted TES’s support Nautilus and jungler Fryego. “Watch out for Gnar, he’s got a lot of rage.”

"It's alright, let them in," Su Mo said calmly. "Don't rush into a fight, let's stall for time."

The four members of TES cautiously peered over.

Mark's Braum held up his shield at the front, while Knight's Veigar followed on the flanks, ready to unleash his ultimate at any moment.

Just then, Su Mo moved.

He turned around and used the Vanguard to build up a stack of Whirlwind Slash effect, and then activated his E skill [Frosty God Slash]!
Yone's physical body remained in place, while his spirit form, enhanced by acceleration, fearlessly charged towards TES's formation!
"He's up here!" Xiao Tian shouted.

The nerves of everyone on TES instantly tightened.

The group quickly retreated, fearing they would be knocked away.

The main problem is that Yone has his ultimate ability available right now. If he gets caught in a QR combo, it could be very dangerous, and even Braum might not be able to save him.

"Can we just take him down?!" Wayward's Gnar was now furious and used his E skill to jump in, intending to transform into a giant and unleash his ultimate in mid-air!

Just as Gnar jumped, Su Mo pressed his E skill again.

"call out!"

The spirit instantly returned to its original form, and Su Mo returned to a safe zone several hundred yards away.

Wayward's big shot was all for naught, and he could only awkwardly roar at the air.

"He's completely outmatched!" Wawa exclaimed. "Mozi used his E skill to engage, not to deal damage, but purely to bait out enemy skills! He tricked Gnar into using his most crucial transformation ultimate! TES probably wanted to instantly kill Yone, but unfortunately, Mozi reacted in time."

Without the threat of Gnar, TES instantly fell into a passive position.

"Gnar's ultimate's gone, attack now!" Su Mo gave the order.

At this point, the Vanguard's health was low, and Jiejie used Retribution to take the Vanguard's Eye.

At the same time, Flandre's Ornn seized the opportunity and shouted "Hey!"
The call of the God of Forging!
A giant fire elemental goat crashed into the TES team.

Although Braum raised his shield, the formation had already been broken.

Viper's Kai'Sa seized the opportunity, using her ultimate ability, Hunter's Instinct, to fly directly to the lone Foygo, and together with Lee Sin who had secured the Rift Herald and arrived, instantly melted him!
"Retreat! Retreat! We can't fight anymore!" Ah Shui could only shout helplessly.

In this skirmish, EDG secured the vanguard and eliminated the jungler, achieving a resounding victory.

In the next few minutes, the game entered the operational rhythm that EDG was most familiar with.

At eleven minutes, Jiejie released the Rift Herald directly in the mid lane.

Knight's Vigus has wave clear ability, but under Yone's threat, she doesn't dare to stand in front of the tower.

"boom!"

The vanguard crashed headfirst into TES's mid-lane tower, taking away three layers of plating.

Su Mo's Yone absorbed this huge amount of gold, and upon returning home, immediately acquired the Immortal Shieldbow.

Eleven and a half minutes had passed, which should have been a time of steady development, but Su Mo clearly didn't think so.

"Can we dive the bottom lane?" Su Mo asked while pushing the lane in the mid lane, then switched screens to look at the bottom lane.

At this moment, TES's bot lane duo, Aphelios and Braum, were hiding under the tower, with relatively good health.

“I can give it a try, I’m all better now,” Viper replied calmly.

"I am coming."

After pushing the lane, Su Mo disappeared into the shadows of the river without the slightest hesitation.

TES's mid laner Knight immediately pinged: "Mid laner is missing! Bot lane, watch out! They might be ganking you!"

Ah Shui and Mark received the signal and were about to retreat when they discovered that the minion wave had already been pushed up to the tower by Kai'Sa and Rakan. Retreating now would not only result in losing a large wave of minions, but also make them vulnerable to being chased down and killed.

"Can it be operated?" Ah Shui asked.

“I’m weak, but I can hold on for a bit.” Mark gripped the shield tightly.

However, they underestimated Su Mo's speed.

Just as the minion wave reached the tower, EDG's "four-man gank" army was already pressing in.

Jiejie's Lee Sin was the first to flank from behind the Stone Golem bushes, cutting off their retreat.

Su Mo's Yong En swaggered out of the river.

"I'll tank first." Meiko's Rakan was very decisive, activating his R skill [Fleeting Glance], followed by Charm and Flash, and then W [Grand Entrance]!
A golden lightning bolt flashed, and Mark's Braum reacted quickly, raising his shield to block, but Rakan's rocket came from the side!
Aphelios and Brûlé were both lifted up!

"Open!"

Su Mo's Yone followed closely behind with his R skill, "Sealed Dust Slash!"
A crimson sword shadow ripped through the sky, sending the two who had just landed flying once more!

This perfect chain of control prevented Ah Shui from even using Flash.

Viper's Kai'Sa followed up with damage, and Icathian Rain poured down.

After Su Mo landed, he used AQW, dealing explosive damage instantly, and Aphelios's health bar disappeared immediately.

"Double Kill!"

The kill was deliberately given to Viper's Kai'Sa.

“It’s too cruel…” Miller shook his head. “This four-man gank was so smooth that Ah Shui didn’t even have any room to maneuver. He had to take his hands off the keyboard and wait to die.”

At this point, the economic gap between the two sides had widened to three thousand.

This was already a rather dangerous number for a game played 15 minutes ago.

However, TES did not give up the fight.

Fourteen minutes later, the second dragon spawned.

The entire TES team was engaged in intense communication via voice chat.

"We have to fight this time!" Xiaotian gritted his teeth. "If we don't engage, we'll be gone before Baron even spawns. Vigus has the Crown of the Shattered Queen this time, Yone can't kill you instantly, we can fight!"

Knight nodded: "I have watches, I can sell a bunch."

TES decided to go all in.

They deployed numerous sightlines along the river, attempting to exploit this visual advantage to create an opportunity.

On EDG's side, communication was much easier.

“They’re getting desperate.” Su Mo glanced at TES’s aggressive positioning on the minimap. “Holy Gun, try to engage the backline with your Hex and force them into position. Jiejie, keep an eye on Foygo.”

"And what about me?" Meiko asked.

"You protect Viper and play, don't worry about me." Su Mo's lips curled up slightly. "I'm going to perform a magic trick for them."

At 14 minutes and 50 seconds, a team fight is about to break out in the river!
Wayward's Gnar was also furious this time. He saw that EDG's positioning was slightly clustered and immediately used E-Flash and his ultimate!
"Gnar initiated the team fight! He managed to take down two enemies!"

Meiko's Rakan and Jiejie's Lee Sin got slammed against the wall!
Seeing this, Knight's Vigus immediately used her ultimate skill [Sorrowful Grief] to hit the controlled Lee Sin, then used her second ultimate skill to fly into the crowd and activated her W skill [Fear]!

"TES initiated that wave perfectly! EDG is under control!" Wawa shouted. "Is TES going to turn the game around?!"

Just when everyone thought Lee Sin was about to be instantly killed, a ghost-like figure appeared behind TES.

Su Mo Yongen! He deliberately bypassed a huge blind spot, built up a Q skill wind in the TES blue buff jungle, and then jumped down from the Exploding Cone!
At this moment, everyone on TES was focused on the frontal attack, and Aphelios in the back row only had Braum by his side.

"It's now."

Su Mo initiates with his E skill, using it to dash through walls!

"Sawyer-Gitung!"

Su Mo's ultimate skill swept across the battlefield diagonally. Although it did not knock Aphelios into the air, it blocked the retreat route of the TES team and forced JackeyLove to use his Flash!

Then, Q3 took off!

This time, the target is Aphelios, who doesn't have Flash!
"It's blowing! Ah Shui has been blown up!"

Yone's figure was as close as a ghost, his W shield absorbed some of the damage, and his high-critical-hit auto-attacks were devastating!

Although Ah Shui's Aphelios possesses the power of a gale, he has nowhere to escape under Yone's relentless pursuit after Yone uses his E ability.

The key point is that his whirlwind power created distance between him and Braum, preventing Braum from protecting him immediately.

Yone used a QAAQE combo, and Aphelios fell to the ground!

Without the ADC's output, TES's frontal offensive was thwarted.

Saint Gun's Ornn used his ultimate to knock Gnar away, and Viper's Kai'Sa entered the fray to clean up the remaining enemies.

"ACE!"

Fifteen minutes in, EDG pulled off a perfect team fight in the river, resulting in a 1-for-5 exchange!
The only one who died was the Lee Sin who was targeted.

Su Mo's Yongen has a record of 4-0-2.

“Despair…truly despair.” Miller sighed as he watched Su Mo’s brilliant flanking maneuver in the replay. “That flanking maneuver completely extinguished TES’s hopes of a comeback. He was like an assassin who precisely found TES’s most vulnerable nerve and then severed it with a single blow.”

"This is the true value of an FMVP!" Wawa exclaimed. "Whether it's the details of laning, the awareness of supporting others, or the timing of entering team fights, Mo has shown unparalleled dominance. This game, Yone is going to be godlike again."

Fifteen minutes in, EDG had a 5,000 gold lead and held two dragons.

However, the cruelty of professional competition lies in the fact that as long as the crystal hasn't exploded, even if there's only one breath left, you have to grit your teeth and persevere.

Su Mo went home to upgrade his equipment, and the Infinity Blade was among them.

With two pieces of Yone's gear, at this point in time, the damage output is already excessive.

"I'll go bot lane and split push, you guys group up and push mid, and establish vision around Baron Nashor," Su Mo said in the voice chat.

"Roger." Flandre's Ornn went to the top lane to farm, leaving the safest minion wave in the mid lane for Viper's Kai'Sa to farm.

Su Mo went to the bottom lane and faced Wayward's Gnar.

At this moment, when Gnar saw Yone, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He didn't even dare to look at the minion wave and could only hide in the bush under the second tower, using his Q skill, Boomerang, to sneak in a few last hits from afar.

"This is too tragic..." Wawa looked at the bot lane shot shown by the director, "Wayward can't lane at all. As soon as Yone activates his E skill, Gnar has to use his E to jump back. If he is even slightly slow, he will lose half of his health. If he is accidentally hit by Yone's ultimate, he will die."

Taking advantage of Su Mo's immense pressure in the bottom lane, Jiejie's Lee Sin, along with Meiko's Rakan, recklessly invaded TES's lower jungle, sweeping away the newly spawned red buff and Krugs.

TES's jungle has completely become EDG's backyard.

At the 19-minute mark, TES, having been pushed to their limits, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"We can't let him keep going like this, the second tower is about to fall!" Tian looked at the bottom lane's precarious turret, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Let's gank him! I have my ultimate, Knight has his Watch, let's give it a try!"

"I'm here!" Mark's Braum also abandoned Aphelios, who was farming in the mid lane, and followed the jungler to the bottom lane.

This is a three-man attack targeting Yone!

From a god-like perspective, Miller keenly noticed TES's movements: "TES is in a panic! Their mid, jungle, and support are all heading towards the bottom lane! Wayward's Gnar is also building up his rage! They want to kill Mozi and disrupt EDG's rhythm!"

In EDG's voice chat, Meiko's alarm instantly blared: "Beware, bot lane! Mid and jungle, Miss! Braum is missing too!"

"I know."

Su Mo's voice remained completely calm.

He glanced at the minimap; the minion wave had just crossed the river, and the three-man TES squad was flanking them from the tri-bush and the river.

For an average player, the best option at this point would be to sacrifice the pawn to save the king and retreat immediately.

But Su Mo did something that surprised everyone—he didn't retreat directly. Instead, he controlled Yone to kill the last minion with Q, built up a wind, walked into the bush near the wall in the bottom lane, and then pressed the S key to stay still.

"He's crouching?! He's trying to take on three people at once?!" the doll exclaimed.

A few seconds later, Tian's Foygo charged forward first, activating his E skill [Scorched Earth] to scout ahead.

Vigus and Brûlé followed closely behind.

The moment Foygo stepped into the grass!

Su Mo moved!

Q3!

A whirlwind suddenly swept up right up to their faces, sending the unsuspecting Foygo and the closely following Bronn flying!

AQW!

The terrifying critical hit damage erupted instantly, and the fragile Fryego's health bar evaporated by more than half in an instant!

Tian was terrified and immediately used his ultimate move, "Pain Piercing the Soul," upon landing in an attempt to avoid damage and counterattack.

Knight's Vigus immediately followed up with her ultimate skill.

However, Su Mo had already activated his E skill, "Frosty God Slash," and pulled his body to the side, dodging the center of Foygo's ultimate attack.

Immediately afterwards, facing Vigus's EQ combo, he remained completely calm and countered with his ultimate move, [Sealed Dust Slash]!
"Sawyer-Gitung!"

Yone transformed into a streak of red light, using the displacement and invulnerability of his ultimate ability to not only evade Vigus's control but also deal damage to Fryegar and Braum!
Then, an AQ combo hit Foygo, leaving him with only a sliver of health. Su Mo immediately used his second E to return, dealing enough damage to kill Foygo.

He chased after the remaining Brûlé and Vigus.

Because at that moment, Flandre's Ornn teleported in, and Jiejie's Lee Sin arrived.

What was originally a three-man gank by TES instantly turned into a counter-encirclement by EDG.

Unfortunately, Vigus still ran away.

However, Braum died in a group fight with three people while trying to cover Vigus's escape.

Ultimately, this attempt to catch investors ended with the deaths of Tian and Mark.

However, since the dragon hasn't spawned yet, they can't attack it.

By the 22-minute mark, both the Baron and the third dragon had spawned.

The EDG team arrived near the Dragon Pit.

At this moment, Su Mo's score had reached 6-0-3, his last-hitting was ahead of the timeline, and a Mortal item had appeared in his equipment inventory.

TES is under immense pressure, but if they don't take this dragon and EDG gets a dragon to go, they'll have no chance in the late game.

"Look at me, look at me, I'll find a chance to take down Ah Shui," Jiejie said in the voice chat.

The battle for visibility along the river was exceptionally fierce.

The two sides were locked in a tug-of-war in the middle of the river.

Suddenly, Viper's Kai'Sa landed a W [Void Seeker] on Vigus, who was positioned slightly forward.

"opened!"

Without hesitation, Holy Gun Ornn summoned the sheep!

The giant ram's head swept past, forcing Vigus to use her Flash.

Just as TES's formation fell apart, Su Mo made his move from the flank.

Instead of using his ultimate to engage as usual, he used E to close the distance, unleashed the whirlwind built up by Q3, and used vision to blow the enemy through the wall!
The whirlwind precisely passed over the wall and lifted Aphelios, who was preparing to unleash his attack!

"It's blown away! Ah Shui has been blown up by the wall again!"

Su Mo decisively accepted the challenge!

Yone flew through the wall and slashed down with his twin swords!

Even with Braum's protection, a squishy ADC is like a piece of paper in the face of absolute equipment superiority.

Ah Shui didn't even have time to unleash the power of the gale before he was melted in mid-air.

Without their core damage dealers, TES had no chance in team fights.

After taking Ah Shui's head, Su Mo moved in as if he owned the place. (End of Chapter)
