LOL: What does it mean to torture players?
Chapter 310 LPL meets in the finals! IG’s ambition
Chapter 310 LPL meets in the finals! IG’s ambition
The EDG team felt a little puzzled about accidentally breaking the record for the number of spectators for all e-sports competitions in the world.
But, it’s not a bad thing.
All I can say is that there are too many people in China, so they are completely insensitive to the number of millions.
Just then, Su Mo’s cell phone vibrated with new message.
I picked it up and saw that it was a group message.
IG, Ning: “Brothers, look at us quickly ending the battle with a score of 3 to 0.”
IG, Jackeylove: “The finals are waiting for us, Mozi.”
EDG, Mo: “Waiting for your good news. If you win 3-0, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”
The factory director’s voice came: “Ah? What’s going on? Xiao Mo, you want to treat me to a meal?”
Su Mo replied without even looking up: “Yes, to celebrate the LPL meeting in the finals, is there a problem?”
“No problem, of course no problem! When did you become so generous? I’m not used to it.”
“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to.”
Soon, players from IG and G2 appeared on the screen, and the director gave close-ups.
Confident! Very confident and high-spirited!
This is the first impression IG gives people.
In comparison, the five members of G2 seemed a little nervous and under a lot of pressure.
After the players from both teams are in place, the game begins and enters the BP stage.
IG’s BP is very strong, with Akali on the top lane, Jayce in the middle, and Lucian on the bottom lane.
Meiko muttered: “So confident. Look at the heroes IG picked. They are confident. They seem to have the upper hand over the opponent.”
The factory manager agreed: “He is indeed confident and doesn’t take the other party seriously.”
“Every road is an offense, there is no defense.”
Enter the game screen.
In the top lane, Theshy’s Akali faced Wunder’s Swain.
Although he is short-handed against long-handed, Theshy is very confident.
He even suppressed Wuder by using his ultimate skill as soon as he reached level 6, causing the opponent to flash and use his ultimate skill.
In the middle lane, Rookie’s Jayce was facing Perkz’s Aatrox, and he suppressed him by twenty hits in just seven minutes!
Meiko exclaimed: “It feels like IG just blew up the opponent in the laning phase. Perkz is not bad, but it feels like he is totally outmatched.”
Su Mo responded: “IG is like this, all three lanes have strong laning abilities.”
Jackeylove’s Lucian in the bottom lane suppressed the opponent by fifteen hits in seven minutes.
Now there is no kill, IG is already ahead by 1,000 gold
Iboy was amazed: “Too strong.”
G2 entered a mode of being chased and beaten, but G2’s heroes were quite durable.
The Sword Demon has the only one and can revive with his ultimate, Swain’s ultimate can suck blood, and Xin Zhao has an ultimate that can save lives.
In short, everyone has their own means of saving their lives. The result is that although the economy quickly widened and the defensive tower was easily pushed down, IG did not have many kills, only one kill in seventeen minutes.
However, for the players in EDG, kills are not the key. They have seen games where they are ahead in kills but behind in economy. The economic gap is the most direct.
Abu analyzed: “It feels like G2 has entered a rhythm of slow death. There is no possibility of any comeback.”
The subsequent development was similar to what Abu said, it was nothing more than IG chasing G2, G2 running, IG destroying towers, G2 defending, IG forced an opening, and G2 counterattacked.
With less than twenty-five minutes left, the game was over.
After the first game, Abu looked a little serious. He said:
“The rhythm of this game is very similar to the rhythm of our one-sided crushing in the game where we have an advantage.”
“The opponent had no power to fight back, and the game ended easily. IG’s current strength should not be underestimated.”
The factory manager has a different opinion: “I feel like it’s because G2 didn’t perform well. Let’s wait and see. There’s no rush.”
Soon, Su Mo saw the message in the group.
IG, Ning: “How was it? Brother Mozi, was my rhythm perfect in this game?”
Su Mo was stunned. He didn’t even notice King Ning’s rhythm.
Everyone is paying attention to the suppression on the line.
EDG, Mo: “That’s amazing.”
Su Mo replied casually.
Soon, the second game began.
Players from both teams took to the field again.
Entering the BP stage, IG was still very confident this time, taking down Jayce and LeBlanc.
On the G2 side, both Aatrox and Irelia were taken down.
Meiko commented: “It feels like G2 is trying their best to compete with IG in operations.”
Su Mo responded: “I’m not very optimistic, but there’s nothing I can do. These heroes are so strong in this version, so I have to play them.”
Entering the game screen, this time it is Theshy’s Jayce in the top lane.
In ten minutes, Wunder was defeated by thirty knives!
The factory manager muttered, “If we meet IG and we are suppressed like this in the laning phase, it will be difficult for me as a jungler to do anything. IG’s Jayce should pay attention. They are good at mid and top and can swing.”
Iboy suggested: “If it doesn’t work, just ban Jayce.”
Su Mo said, “My Jace is okay.”
Abu looked at Scout.
Scout responded: “My Jace is also OK.”
The second match also ended early, at twenty-seven minutes.
Now the two games combined only last a little over fifty minutes.
Abu reminded: “Right now, IG’s averages are almost the same as ours, and they are both far ahead of the second place. Judging from various data, we are very close to a 50-50 tie.”
He said with a slightly excited tone: “I really want to see you guys compete with IG to see who is better.”
Su Mo asked back, “You’re not going?”
Zizi was shocked: “I go? Brother Mozi, don’t you see how scary Theshy is? How can I fight him? Let you do it. Daxin will be a drag.”
Hearing this, everyone in EDG smiled.
The third game started and players from both teams were in place. Now the G2 players were under a lot of pressure, which was visible to the naked eye.
Enter the BP stage.
IG got Aatrox, Leblanc and Kaisa, while Ning Wang chose Lee Sin.
It’s still a very offensive lineup.
On the G2 side, top lane Irelia, jungle Shen, and mid lane Lissandra are all heroes with strong ability to find opportunities in the early stage.
The factory manager muttered: “It’s no coincidence that G2 made it to the semifinals. The fact that they can use these heroes shows that they still have something.”
Meiko agreed with Aoki: “Indeed, most teams probably can’t use them. These heroes require a lot of skill.”
Entering the game screen, G2’s rhythm was much better in the early stage of this game. The three players in the mid, top and jungle were frantically looking for opportunities and they were ahead in economy at one point.
The two sides fought back and forth until a team fight at 19 minutes. With the ADC and jungler killed first, IG suddenly had three against four.
Meiko was stunned: “Huh? Are we going to do this? They are short of people.”
However, IG really went for it. Theshy’s Aatrox came out from behind, while LeBron and Minotaur chased them from the front. It was three against four, and a zero for four!
Everyone in EDG was stunned!
Zizi felt incredible: “Dude, is this how you play the game? You’re behind economically with three against four, and then you trade zero for four?”
Su Mo responded: “So, we can’t take it lightly. IG is always improving.”
At 2 minutes in, in the team fight for the little dragon, IG’s players were not all there, and G took the lead.
Ning Wang’s Lee Sin was killed instantly, four against five.
When everyone else chose to retreat, Theshy’s Aatrox suddenly came in and fought one against five!
“Sword Demon?” The factory manager was stunned for a moment, seemingly not understanding.
Not only did the EDG players not understand, the commentators also didn’t understand. However, the three-stage Q of the Sword Demon could create an explosive AOE.
They turned the disadvantage into an advantage and the IG team followed up to clean up the battlefield.
Zizi’s palms were sweating. “Fuck, this Sword Demon? What does that mean? Is that how you play the game?”
Su Mo smiled and said, “It looks like this final will be very exciting.”
Twenty-three minutes into the game, IG suddenly started to attack the Baron. G2 was unable to react and it was too late. Only Lee Sin arrived and tried to grab the Baron but failed.
it’s over!
The EDG players realized that the game was over.
The rest is garbage time.
Under normal circumstances, all EDG players should stand up and cheer and celebrate, after all, it is the LPL teams that are meeting in the finals.
But now everyone in EDG has a serious expression.
Although Abu and Su Mo had been reminding us before, IG is still growing and making great progress.
This is huge progress. EDG has never lost to IG in the summer season, but now no one has the confidence that they can beat IG.
The third game turned into a cat-and-mouse game, with IG chasing G2 in every way possible.
Even so, it didn’t last more than thirty minutes and the game was over!
IG defeated G2 – and entered the finals!
“Oh!” Su Mo had to admit that IG’s current strength was indeed terrifyingly strong. The smoothness of this game was probably only comparable to EDG.
Silence! Inside the room, everyone in EDG fell into a deathly silence.
Abu was writing in his notebook. After a moment, he stopped and said:
“Hmm? What are you guys doing? Let’s discuss it. Now that the game is over, what are your opinions? Share them. Did you see any flaws in IG?”
Everyone in EDG looked at each other in amazement, they really couldn’t figure it out!
Finally, it was the factory manager who spoke first: “IG’s performance was indeed very exciting, that is undeniable, but we have never lost to them before, so there is no need to be so scared.”
Abu pressed the issue: “How do you think Ning Wang played? His performance in these three games.”
The factory manager began to organize his words: “Ning Wang… He feels like he is still the same as before, making some low-level mistakes. In team battles, before his teammates arrived, he would go up and die.”
“IG was able to win because someone was there to clean up their mess.”
Zzitai has a different opinion: “But I feel that he attracted a lot of firepower and tricked the opponent into using some key ultimates, otherwise it would not be so easy to beat the other IG players.”
Abu said: “It is indeed Ning Wang’s problem that he makes mistakes easily and plays in an imprecise way. We can think of some solutions in this regard.”
“What about the bottom lane, Xiao Zhao, Tian Ye, what do you two think?”
Iboy responded: “I think Jackeylove is pretty good, but I am not inferior to him.”
Meiko said: “Baolan still has a lot of room for improvement in some details.”
Su Mo smiled: “Is it so tactful?”
Abu looked at Scout: “What about the mid lane? Is there any pressure? Rookie now seems to have the strength of his peak, a second spring.”
Socut replied: “I can basically play any hero he can play.”
“He probably doesn’t know how to play some of the heroes that Mozi and I practiced.”
Abu praised: “Indeed, this is our unique advantage. We know many heroes and strategies that most teams don’t play, especially the mid, top and support positions.”
Hearing this, the factory manager frowned, as if reminding Abu that he was there.
But Abu pretended not to see it and continued:
“Then all that’s left is to get on the road…”
Abu’s eyes moved back and forth between Su Mo and Zizhi.
“Ouch… my stomach hurts!” Zizhi suddenly looked embarrassed.
“Your acting is too fake, hahaha.” Meiko laughed. He stopped pretending and walked behind Su Mo, massaging his shoulders and said:
“I will do my best to cheer for Brother Mozi. Don’t worry, I am absolutely professional in this area and I will give you the full emotional value!”
In this case, Abu can only count on Su Mo to come: “Xiao Mo, what about this side?”
Su Mo responded: “Theshy is a very good top laner. We need to think of some way to beat him.”
“IG’s play style is relatively simple and rough. They crush the opponent from the beginning of the laning phase and then snowball. So there are only two ways to deal with them. Either you are better than them individually, or you create opportunities to outnumber them through coordination.”
Meiko muttered, “Then it seems we can’t choose the first option. Personal ability is not something you can improve just by wanting to. We can only choose the second option.”
Abu nodded: “I think so too. Strengthening cooperation is the fundamental way to beat IG.”
“Of course, in terms of laning, you can use heroes to counter and sway to reduce the impact of personal strength.”
The EDG team was still discussing for an unknown amount of time when there was a knock on the door.
Pose came to the door and opened it.
“Prince Ning?”
“Zhizhi, Brother Mozi can, they are all here.”
Prince Ning came over and took a look.
“Hey, you guys are having a meeting here? What are you discussing?”
Su Mo replied: “We are discussing how to beat your IG.”
“Ah? Hahaha, is there any need to discuss this? Just surrender directly.” King Ning was full of confidence.
Su Mo stood up and said, “So are you all ready? Let’s go eat together, it’s almost time.”
Prince Ning replied, “It has been prepared a long time ago. They were all very happy when they heard that Brother Mozi was going to treat them to a meal.”
Su Mo glanced at Abu, and Abu said, “Then let’s go out for dinner together. Everyone should be hungry.”
So the EDG players left the room together, and soon the IG players also arrived one after another.
The two teams prepared to leave the hotel together and go out to find a place to eat.
However, just as we walked into the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, suddenly a group of people walked out from outside, with their heads down, looking very depressed.
Su Mo saw Perkz at a glance, and this was the entire G2 team.
Perkz also noticed Su Mo, so he walked over and forced a smile: “Brother Mozi, it looks like I won’t have the chance to play against you in the finals.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed King Ning and the IG team next to Su Mo.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Perkz continued: “Brother Mozi, I support you! We must win the finals. Fight with our share and win the championship!”
Su Mo scratched his head. What was going on? The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
But to be honest, the relationship between EDG and IG is naturally better than that with G2.
Perkz also wanted to give Su Mo a hug, and Su Mo didn’t refuse.
Soon, everyone from G2 left.
King Ning asked, “What is he talking about? Did Ah P say something bad about us?”
Su Mo smiled but said nothing.
At the recommendation of Theshy and Rookie, everyone came to IKEA Hotel and entered the private room.
Su Mo found a place to sit down, and Zizhi came over and sat next to Su Mo.
Everyone started ordering food, and Ning Wang suddenly sighed: “It’s not easy. In S6, LPL was still beaten by LCK and couldn’t even enter the quarterfinals.”
Ning Wang also deliberately glanced at the factory manager and continued: “Now the LPL will meet in the finals.”
Zzitai responded: “It mainly depends on us EDG. If we hadn’t won the championship last year, LPL would have collapsed.”
Ning Wang smiled and said, “No, buddy, were you in EDG last year? Still in EDG?”
Everyone laughed, but they were so shameless that they didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
He just said: “It doesn’t matter, I can win a championship this year anyway.”
“Oh? So confident?” Prince Ning and Zizi started to compete with each other.
Su Mo glanced at the other people on IG, and most of them were playing with their phones.
Suddenly, Jackeylove looked over and their eyes met.
Jackeylove said, “Brother Mozi, do you want to play in the bottom lane in the finals?”
Su asked back: “You seem very confident. Do you want to fight me in the bottom lane?”
Jackeylove smiled and said, “I’m a little curious, I want to try playing with you.”
Su Mo responded: “Well, I’ll go to the bottom lane and you go to the top lane.”
Jackeylove was stunned for a moment. This was impossible for him to agree to.
Originally he was joking, but since Su Mo said so, it wouldn’t be a good idea to just back down.
So Jackeylove looked at Theshy and said, “Theshy, you don’t seem to be able to play in the bottom lane.”
Theshy shook his head, but then said, “If you want to play top lane, I can let you.”
Jackeylove was completely speechless. He originally wanted to find a way out, but Theshy was deliberately making trouble.
King Ning began to use provocation: “Shorty, can you do it? You want to challenge, Brother Mozi responded, but you don’t dare to accept it.”
Baolan was anxious: “Ning Mazi, which side are you on? Why are you helping EDG?”
Prince Ning retorted, “Princess Lan, that’s enough. We men have no say over this, and you have no right to speak.”
“Hahahaha…” The EDG players couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Baolan got angry and started to curse at Ning Wang.
The other members of IG seemed to have gotten used to it. No one came out to mediate the fight, and everyone just did their own thing.
Soon, the waiter started serving the dishes. After all the dishes were served, Abu said:
“This time, LPL was able to meet in the finals thanks to everyone here. You are the best of the new era and have unlimited possibilities.”
“It’s a shame that there is only one champion, and one of our teams will definitely fail. I hope we can have a wonderful game in the final.”
Ning Wang joked: “Someone has to win anyway, why can’t it be us IG? Right, hahahaha, you EDG have already won the championship once, this time it’s our turn for IG.”
The factory manager responded: “It all depends on your ability. Although you IG have made great progress, don’t forget that we are the champions of the summer season.”
Abu greeted, “Let’s eat first, everyone is hungry.”
After the meal, the EDG and IG players continued to chat, trying to get some information from each other, but they were unsuccessful.
In the evening, Su Mo simply washed up and lay on the bed playing with his mobile phone.
Sure enough, Tieba, Weibo and Douyin are now booming.
#LPL Meets in the Finals
This is the number one trending search on all social platforms.
Su Mo clicked in and took a look:
“I declare that LPL has officially become the strongest region in the world!”
“From today on, no one is allowed to speak loudly to us LPL!”
“Holy crap, there’s no LCK team in the finals held in LCK?”
“From now on, the era of LPL dominating the world begins!”
Now all the LPL audiences are very excited. In comparison, it doesn’t matter who wins the championship between EDG and IG.
Of course, fans of EDG and IG are more concerned about this issue.
However, unlike the tense atmosphere in the past, the discussion between fans on both sides this time was relatively mild:
“I admit that EDG deserves a lot of credit for winning the championship last year, but you have also seen IG’s strength. We IG will definitely win this championship!”
“Young man, are you strong enough? Winning G2 doesn’t prove anything. You still can’t beat those you are supposed to beat.”
“It’s not a good thing for one team to dominate for a long time. IG’s decisiveness can make this project more prosperous.”
“That’s enough. Everything depends on strength. If you can’t beat EDG, you have no right to win the championship.”
Not only that, there are also posts with various positional analyses in the forum.
Among the ten posts on the homepage, at least five are analyzing the situation of EDG and IG.
Su Mo chooses one with more replies
#EDG vs. IG, analysis of each position.
This post has more than 8,000 replies, which is considered to be a very high level of attention.
According to the position, start from the top road.
Su Mo saw his own posture.
Next to it are his various statistics in this S game, which can only be described as average.
When placed in the hexagram, it is just a small four-pointed star, very deformed.
The output and survivability are worrying.
Rating: 8.0
Evaluation: Mediocre top laner, no major flaws, and no advantages either.
Keep reading, Theshy.
The data is very gorgeous. His data is a small hexagram, and his survival is slightly worse.
Rating: 9.9
Evaluation: Extreme operation, bold and careful, sea of heroes, hexagonal warriors
Zzitai vs. Thesy: 19-1!
The comments below are generally in agreement.
Su Mo continued to look down, and his photo appeared!
Then there are various data. Su Mo’s data is the hexagram, which safely wraps up Theshy’s hexagram.
Rating: 10.0
Evaluation: It cannot be evaluated, it is beyond the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, it is the God among Gods!
Mo vs. Theshy: 60-40.
However, the following comments are different and begin to polarize:
“If it’s not 100% I don’t approve it!”
“I think it’s 30-70. Theshy has grown up. He is a god-killer!”
“That’s enough. I don’t believe anyone can beat Brother Mozi.”
“Brother Mozi may not necessarily play top lane, what are you guys arguing about?”
Read on.
Clearlove8!
The data and hexagram are pretty good. The survival rate and team participation rate are first among the jungle positions!
Rating: 9.5
Evaluation: An old horse still has great ambitions, and it is the second spring of the factory director!
Ning!
King Ning’s hexagram is very distorted, with high output and participation rate.
However, the survivability is worrying, the number of deaths is too high, and the KDA is also ugly.
All I can say is, this is King Ning.
Rating: 9.2
Comment: Half god, half ghost, you never know whether he will give a gift or create a miracle in the next second.
Su Mo felt that this evaluation was quite fair. King Ning would either give a big wave to the opponent or give the opponent a big wave.
Clearlove8 vs. Ning: –
Except for a few comments, I generally agree with the following comments.
Most IG fans can see that Ning Wang is unstable, so they don’t object.
Read on.
Scout
Scout’s statistics in the mid-lane position are also very impressive, with only two statistics not ranking first.
Of course, this is also related to EDG’s good record.
Rating: 9.8
Evaluation: Not the successor of the Great Devil, but surpassing the Great Devil! EDG’s pillar of support.
Su Mo felt that this evaluation was quite fair, because sometimes Su Mo did not play.
But Scout played in every game and his performance was always very stable.
