Rita said excitedly: “Here it comes! Kai’Sa uses her ultimate to enter the field, he will definitely go find Graves, use E to slow him down when he lands… smoke bomb, Kai’Sa loses vision, Luo uses Light Dance, Taliyah follows up with Taliyah, Graves AQA, kills him in seconds!”

[Get Torture Points +50 from Jackeylove]

Su Mo turned back and continued to fight the big dragon.

On the IG side, Ning Wang was unhappy: “Shorty, what are you doing? Just give it away? You can just replace Graves.”

Jackeylove chose to remain silent. He was a bit impulsive this time. It was indeed not easy to fight one against three.

The most disgusting thing is the male gunner’s smoke bomb, which prevents him from attacking.

In the end, EDG took down the Baron.

Rita breathed a sigh of relief: “EDG took down the Baron and is now 8,000 gold ahead. I feel… it’s still not stable. IG is very strong, and EDG can’t take it lightly.”

Wang Duoduo agreed: “Indeed, in IG’s previous games, we often saw them turn the tables in teamfights when they were at a disadvantage, or even when they were outnumbered. Such a team should never be underestimated.”

Su Mo returned to the city for supplies, and started to lead the troops after going out. He chose to lead the bottom lane and let his teammates go to the middle lane to push the troops.

He still has TP now, and if he is brought up head-on, he can TP directly over.

The troops in the middle and bottom lanes advanced at the same time, and the EDG players remained cautious.

but!

Just when the troops were about to go up to the high ground, suddenly, Gragas’ ultimate fell from the wall and exploded between the four EDG players!
Guan Zeyuan commented: “Here they come! Although IG is at a disadvantage, they chose to take the initiative!”

“Luo and Taliyah were blown back, and the front and back rows are out of touch! Irelia follows up with her ultimate, Graves TPs immediately, Kaisa uses her ultimate to go in and find Taliyah, can she hold out until Graves arrives?”

“Ding!” The factory director activates his golden body!
He was glad that he had just captured the big dragon and had enough money to make a golden body, otherwise he would have been killed instantly in this wave.

The flash CD is ready, and Zzitai is ready to flash. Meiko’s Luo uses his ultimate to enter the field to provide cover.

The moment the golden body ends, Taliyah uses flash to retreat, Kaisa uses E skill to follow up to output, and Irelia uses Q skill to follow up.

At this moment, the male gun TP landed!
“Blind!” Su Mo fired a smoke bomb at Irelia. Akali entered the field to find Kaisa on the opposite side. Su Mo followed up with his ultimate move, and Kaisa was killed instantly by Akali’s set of skills!
Gragas came up with a full belly and took down Taliyah’s head.

Rita commented: “Although IG killed Taliyah, they used too many skills and spent too much time. Alistar’s second combo was dodged by Xayah’s ultimate. Did Aatrox want to wait for Xayah’s ultimate to land?”

“But, Graves used his E skill to deal damage to the face, and Xayah used her E skill to hook the opponent, and combined with Graves’ AQA, the Sword Demon was resurrected!”

At this time, the Sword Demon did not have Blood Hands and was very fragile. He could not withstand Su Mo’s damage at all!

Suddenly, the screen flashed, and the sword girl’s double blades hit Su Mo’s male gun.

Irelia used her Q skill to fly up and deal damage. Su Mo fought and retreated at the same time. Luo Qingwu formed a pair and made a grand appearance. Irelia used her W skill to withstand a burst, and then followed up with her second Q with Graves and continued fighting.

But Su Mo’s output was too high, and even though Irelia’s Bloodthirst was triggered, she was still shot down with two shots.

On the other side, Akali had already used her second ultimate to catch up with Gragas. Gragas had no magic resistance, only armor, and could not withstand Akali’s output at all, and was killed.

“Minto! Minotaur!” Meiko marked Minotaur.

The time of Minotaur’s ultimate skill ended, and EDG chased after him and took down Minotaur.

Finally, it was the resurrected Aatrox, and Theshy didn’t plan to leave, but he was taken away by Graves before Q2 was even finished.

ACE!

Wang Duoduo commented: “It was a very beautiful team fight. EDG’s economic advantage was too great. Irelia couldn’t beat Graves even if she stood close to him. There was nothing she could do.”

“It looks like a wave is coming. This time, EDG is about to win the first game of the decisive battle!”

On the EDG side, Meiko was overjoyed: “We won! We won this game, nice!”

Iboy was relieved: “I feel a little tired, similar to the usual feeling of playing three games.”

The factory manager responded: “It’s OK.”

Su Mo teased, “You always die for the first time, so it must be okay.”

The factory manager argued: “I am trying to attract fire. I used a stopwatch and a golden body to delay the time. I created an opportunity for you.”

Meiko smiled and said, “It’s okay Mingkai, Brother Mozi was just joking.”

The EDG players first took the middle lane high ground, then the front tower, and finally the base crystal.

Rita announced: “With IG’s base crystal exploding, let us congratulate EDG for taking the lead!”

The game is over, and the EDG fans at the scene are celebrating:

“EDG! EDG! EDG!”

“Brother Mozi, you are my hero!”

“Brother Mozi, the world’s best male gunner!”

“Brother Mozi, so handsome!”

The EDG players took off their headphones and returned to the lounge together.

In the lounge, Abu was already waiting, standing at the door, looking very excited.

Seeing the EDG players, Abu smiled happily: “It was a very exciting game. Thank you for your hard work. This should be the most intense game I have seen this year.”

Meiko agreed: “The intensity was indeed very high. From the beginning of the laning phase, IG was always looking for trouble with us. It felt like they were very active, with all kinds of operations and ideas coming out one after another.”

The factory manager said: “King Ning is a young fool. We need to find opportunities to punish him a few times and teach him a lesson, otherwise he really likes to mess around.”

Su Mo smiled: “The key is that he can get you every time, so he feels that this is the way to play, and you have to manipulate him.”

The factory manager’s eyes flashed fiercely: “In the next game, I will choose to fight a stronger hero. Taliyah is too fragile and can be easily bullied by the opponent.”

Abu said, “Let’s review the game first, and then discuss how to play the next game.”

So Abu led everyone to review the previous game. Although it was very intense, there was not much to review.

The operations rounds are the ones that are reviewed the most, such as which military line was not handled well, which vision problem there is, etc.

IG’s style of play mainly depends on operation, which is not a problem that can be solved by reviewing the game.

After the review, Abu asked, “Shall we continue with this lineup in the next game?”

Su Mo responded: “I’ll play a game in the bottom lane.”

Meiko suddenly rubbed her hands excitedly: “Are you coming, Brother Mozi?”

The factory manager looked at Iboy and said, “Tian Ye, don’t you want to think about Xiao Zhao? Don’t be so proactive.”

Iboy said: “I feel pretty good. Every time Mozi goes to the bottom lane, I can learn a lot of techniques.”

The factory manager was speechless: “Are you so open-minded?”

Meiko teased: “Mingkai, watch carefully and learn well, this is the attitude of progress!”

On the other side, in IG’s lounge.

The IG team is discussing tactics.

Although we lost the first game, the atmosphere within the team is still pretty good.

Ning Wang said, “I felt like I was completely defeated by my opponent, so how come we lost? What happened? The male gunner killed one kid with one shot?”

Baolan complained: “You always give Graves a chance to get a kill, he must be fat, and you still think you’re doing well.”

Jackeylove muttered: “This early game felt okay, but the fight against the Baron…”

Theshy said: “I didn’t handle the laning well in the last game. The Graves hero countered our lineup. Neither the mid nor the top could beat him. He has a passive and is too tanky.”

Rookie greeted, “Let’s not talk about the previous game first, let’s think about how to play the next game.”

Suddenly, a staff member appeared at the door and reminded: “EDG adjusted the lineup, replaced the top unit with Zz1tai, and replaced the ADC position with Mo.”

Things have changed.

Ning Wang looked at Jackeylove and said, “Shorty, what do you say?”

Theshy also looked over: “Jack, can you win?”

Jackeylove’s eyes were full of fire: “We must win, he has come to the bottom lane.”

Coach Jin said: “It’s a good thing for us that he comes to the bottom lane. ADC is different from the mid, top and jungle, and has little influence in the early stage.”

“As long as we can hold the line steady and keep him from developing, we should be able to win this game with the help of the mid, top and jungle.”

Jackeylove did not comment, he seemed to have his own ideas.

Soon, the short break was over and the second game was about to begin.

Wang Duoduo said at the live commentary booth: “Welcome back. This is the S8 finals. The second match between the two teams is about to begin. The first match was very intense.”

“The two teams fought hard until 20 minutes before there was a clear advantage and disadvantage. IG almost took down the Baron and completed the comeback. The process was very thrilling.”

Guan Zeyuan continued, “That’s right. From the first match, the two sides were evenly matched. Everyone had a chance. EDG relied on Mozi’s burning power to hold on. Now the second match is about to begin.”

“I think EDG can’t just rely on Mozi to handle the pressure, the others also need to step up.”

At this moment, Rita reminded: “We have received news from the front that EDG has made adjustments to the lineup. Mozi has been switched to the bottom lane, and Zziti is on the stage again!”

The three commentators suddenly had a bad feeling.

Guan Zeyuan analyzed: “IG’s strengths are mid, top and jungle. Judging from the last game, if Mozi hadn’t had a big advantage in the top lane, it’s hard to say whether EDG’s mid, top and jungle could have won.”

“Now that Mozi has been moved to the bottom lane, the pressure on the mid, top and jungle is extremely high.”

Players from both teams started to appear on the field. When fans saw Zzitai appear on the field but Iboy was not there, they all felt something was wrong:

“There’s no need to change people, isn’t this taking a risk?”

“Why do I feel like I’m going to lose? I should be more cautious when playing against IG.”

“We are going to lose this round, Abu should just resign.”

“What on earth is Abu thinking? Why is he changing players at this time? Is he crazy?”

At this time, Abu, who was watching the game in the lounge, suddenly sneezed: “A-choo!”

The factory manager laughed: “I guess it’s the fans who are scolding you, blaming you for changing the player.”

Abu had a numb expression on his face: “It’s not the first or second time. I’m used to it.”

In fact, Abramovich was often criticized for making substitutions before, but the substitutions were not his idea at all.

This kind of thing is hard to explain, after all, in other teams, the coach makes the decision. If Abu says that he didn’t make the decision, either the fans will think he is shirking responsibility, or they will think that if he can’t make such a decision, what is the point of him?

In short, he has to take the blame for this.

But for him, as long as he can keep winning the games, taking the blame is not worth mentioning.

Players from both teams came to their respective positions and got ready, and the second round of BP began!

BAN position:
EDG: Aatrox, Jayce, Irelia

IG: Nightmare, Galio, Lissandra

Guan Zeyuan began to analyze: “IG is mainly targeting the mid and jungle, not to mention Nightmare. This is one of EDG’s systems. Galio and Lissandra are both functional mid laners.”

“I feel like IG might put a lot of effort into targeting the bottom lane in this game, and they don’t want to be disturbed by EDG’s mid and jungle.”

Wang Duoduo analyzed: “It’s strange that neither side banned Kaisa. In fact, both ADCs are experts in Kaisa. Now that EDG is on the blue side, will they consider taking the first floor?”

Entering the hero selection stage, the blue team EDG got Ryze on the first floor.

Rita commented: “I feel like Mozi may not be willing to pick Kai’Sa. After all, Kai’Sa’s laning ability is relatively weak in the early stage, and IG’s early stage has a fast pace. If you pick a bottom laner with weak laning ability, it’s easy to collapse in the early stage and not be able to develop at all.”

IG got Kaisa and Minotaur on the first and second floors.

Wang Duoduo commented: “Here we go! IG is confident in Kaisa, so we can see what EDG will do to deal with Kaisa in this game.”

“From a pure laning perspective, Vayne is fine, and Mozi’s Vayne is very strong. However, Kaisa can accept a certain disadvantage in the early stage, unless you really beat him completely.”

EDG got Swain and Sion on the second and third floors.

Guan Zeyuan muttered, “Swain? He can’t be a support. There is indeed a way to play Swain as a support in the casual games now. I think he is very good at laning against Kaisa and Alistar.”

Rita nodded. “Indeed, if Swain is used as a support, it should be easier to fight in the lane. However, the problem is that Swain’s ability to protect the ADC is very limited.”

“If Swain is the support and IG chooses an assassin, Mozi may be in trouble.”

IG got the Ahri on the third floor.

The IG fans at the scene were slightly excited.

Wang Duoduo commented: “Here it comes! Rookie’s LeBlanc. She was banned in the last game, so she didn’t get it. Now she finally has a chance to show off the legendary LeBlanc!”

Entering the second round of BP, IG banned Ornn and Shen.

EDG also banned Shen and Urgot.

IG locked Zhao Xin on the fourth floor.

Then EDG got Poppy and Kindred on the fourth and fifth floors.

The commentator was dumbfounded!

Guan Zeyuan was surprised and asked, “Ah? No ADC? Although we have Kindred, a marksman, but… how do we play the bottom lane? Who will go to the bottom lane? It can’t be Ryze.”

Wang Duoduo tried to analyze: “Will Swain and Poppy go to the bottom lane? Poppy is actually quite good at countering Alistar. If Poppy is good at playing, Alistar will have a hard time performing well.”

“And Swain can rely on his Q skill to continuously consume Kaisa, which seems to be possible.”

It was IG’s turn to choose, and IG got Akali on the fifth floor!
Rita suddenly became nervous: “Double assassins! IG actually brought out a double assassin lineup. It feels like it’s just to target Mozi. But we’re not sure what hero Mozi will play in this game.”

“Also, Theshy chose Akali when Poppy was available. I think he was a little too confident.”

Wang Duoduo said: “But then again, with so many heroes banned, I think it’s difficult to pick a top laner who doesn’t rely on dashing.”

“Maybe he thought so. With so many teammates rushing forward, Poppy’s firm demeanor certainly can’t defend them all. He just needs to seize the opportunity to enter the court.”

Both sides began to adjust their line-up, and soon, their lineups were finalized:
Blue side EDG: Top Sion, Jungle Kindred, Mid Swain, ADC Ryze, Support Poppy

Red side IG: Akali on top, Xin Zhao on jungle, Leblanc on mid, Kaisa on ADC, Alistar on support

Seeing this lineup, Rita laughed: “I can only say that our cultivation is too shallow. We never expected that the final result would be like this.”

Guan Zeyuan agreed: “Maybe this is the world’s best team’s understanding of the game. There is a reason why they can win the championship.”

Entering the game screen, Su Mo tried to communicate with the system:
“Raise Ryze’s proficiency to the maximum for me.”

[Ding! Consume one Ultimate Mastery Card, and Rune Mage Ryze’s mastery level will be raised to the maximum level.]

The director gave both sides an introduction to their summoner skills and talents.

Wang Duoduo began to analyze: “Ryze brought TP, Poppy brought a Weakness, it seems that EDG’s bottom lane should focus on development.”

“Theshy’s Akali has Ignite and TP, and the mid-lane Leblanc also has Ignite and TP, very aggressive! Is he using Ignite to suppress the lifesteal effect of Swain’s ultimate? Is he looking for a single kill?”

Su Mo and Meiko went to the bottom lane together, and they helped Zzai Zhang to open up the jungle first.

The factory manager warned: “Hold steady in the bottom lane. I need to develop first. Our three lanes are not easy to beat.”

Zizi was full of confidence: “Look at my invincibility against Sion torturing the opponent’s Akali, pushing the line mindlessly, he can’t do anything to me.”

The factory manager expressed his concern: “Don’t give up in the top lane. We can’t restrict Akali when she appears.”

Zizi replied, “Send? How is that possible? I’ll build up magic resistance first, so he can’t hit me.”

The first wave of soldiers came out and the wild monsters were refreshed. Su Mo and Meiko helped to clear the wild monsters and then moved down.

In order to avoid an ambush, the two took a slight detour.

Back to the line, they started laning normally, and Su Mo started by last hitting and developing.

Jackeylove’s Kaisa and Baolan’s Minotaur also came up. Jackeylove had a strong desire to attack and wanted to come up and touch Su Mo.

Su Mo chose to give it a little chance, and when Kaisa attacked, AQ counterattacked and pulled away.

After trying it twice, Jackeylove found that it was not that easy to fight, so he chose to push the line first.

The second wave of soldiers came, and the bottom lanes of both sides reached level two one after another. Su Mo began to try to suppress Kaisa. While Kaisa was last-hitting, he suddenly used EQ and launched a wave of spell splash.

Kaisa tried to retreat, but was hit!

“Ding!” Poppy activated her W skill, Determined Style, and blocked the Minotaur who was about to launch a sneak attack.

It was just a waste of blood, and Su Mo had no intention of fighting to the end.

Rita analyzed: “This bottom lane combination is indeed easy to play, because the power to take the initiative is completely controlled by the EDG duo. Ryze’s arms are longer than Kai’Sa’s, so he just needs to keep consuming the opponent’s energy.”

“And Poppy can prevent Alistar from starting a teamfight, so IG’s bottom lane can only take the beating, like a frog in boiling water.”

Just like what Su Mo thought, Jackeylove was not sensitive to the splash distance of Ryze’s E skill. It was estimated that he had hardly ever encountered a situation where he was laning against Ryze.

In the top lane, Zzitai’s Sion pushed the minion line frantically, using the minion line to suppress Akali. Akali really had no way to deal with this, as his speed in pushing the minion line was too slow.

The top lane is now developing peacefully.

In the middle lane, Swain was laning against Leblanc, and Scout had a hard time. Leblanc frequently exchanged blood with him, and her damage was much higher than his.

Swain was already exhausted after only reaching level three, and his health was reduced to about half.

So Scout chose to push the line quickly. Judging from the time, the opponent’s jungler was about to start the first wave of GANK.

It will be dangerous if you don’t push the line quickly.

Suddenly, Rookie’s Ahri took action!

Leblanc flashes E and hits, followed by QW! Ignite is given, and the position is blocked forward.

Wang Duoduo exclaimed: “What a decisive Leblanc! The damage seemed to be enough, Swain used his E skill, but it was in vain! Leblanc moved around Swain, and it was difficult to hit him with this Never Return.”

“Swain flashes back, but the chain is not broken, the control effect is triggered, LeBlanc finishes with a basic attack, uses W to come back, and bursts out with first blood. So confident! Flowing like water!”

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed: “This is what we call two goals and one chicken. Rookie’s LeBron is still so sharp. There is a reason why he dares to bring Ignite.”

The fans on IG were very excited:
“Rookie! Rookie! So handsome!”

“Dare to release Leblanc? Has EDG never died before?”

“This is the strength of the world’s number one enchantress!”

At this time, in the EDG lounge, Abu got nervous when he saw the mid laner being killed:
“It’s broken! LeBlanc’s first blood… this is still Rookie’s LeBlanc, hold on, Scout.”

Iboy muttered: “I feel like I need to build some magic resistance first, otherwise I won’t be able to fight in the laning phase at all. LeBlanc’s snowballing ability is too strong.”

“The good news is that we have TP, so we won’t explode directly. We can eat this wave of soldiers.”

The game continues. Zzaizhang’s Qianjue has not found any opportunities now and can only choose to develop first.

“Be careful on the top lane, the opponent’s jungler may go there.” The factory manager reminded.

On the top lane, the situation is a bit awkward now.

He did have an advantage in pushing the line of troops, but the line of troops did not directly advance to the defensive tower and was blocked by Akali!
Akali blocked the line of troops in front of the defensive tower. This position was very tricky. Akali could advance or retreat. Sion chose to go to the river to place a ward, then come back to continue laning and charge his Q skill.

“Hey! Zhao Xin!” Suddenly, the factory manager gave a signal.

Zhao Xin came over from the river. At the same time, Akali used her Q skill to slow him down, followed by a basic attack, and activated her W skill to create a haze array.

Zhao Xin was walking close to the right side, so he was actually very close when he was seen by the field of vision.

Wang Duoduo commented: “Why do I feel like Ornn can no longer escape from this position? Even though he has his ultimate, it’s still very difficult to escape.”

“Zhao Xin approached Sion but didn’t use his E skill. He used W first. Sion moved and dodged, but his position was stuck. Zhao Xin decisively started with AQ, and used three stages of Q to knock him up. Sion used his flash but was still knocked up!”

Theshy’s Akali flashed and used E to hit Sion, and followed up with the second E. Xin Zhao also used his E skill to follow up and continue to output.

“Hold on!” Zizi was gritting his teeth, the defense tower was right in front of him.

But in the end he couldn’t hold on and was killed by Zhao Xin.

“Oh my god, is this also dead?” Zizhi felt a little uncomfortable.

The factory manager said, “I told you to be careful, how come you were stuck in the line of troops? You should get the line of troops in order.”

Zzitai didn’t know what was going on. He felt that he had the initiative, but the military line was inexplicably stuck.

This is actually entering the opponent’s laning rhythm, and before you know it, you’ve given away kills.

The game continued, in the bottom lane, Su Mo also pushed the line of soldiers forward, but he was not in a hurry to consume the enemy under the defensive tower.

He doesn’t have the Tear of the Goddess yet, and is very short of mana. If he only uses his skills to consume the enemy’s troops, he will soon run out of mana to push the troops.

After losing the second round in the jungle, the factory manager started to move towards the bottom lane. A new wave of soldiers came and the bottom lane seemed to have a chance. (End of this chapter)
