Chapter 761
Miracle
"Both carries are dead!! LNG pulled off a perfect miracle team fight!!" Ning stood up excitedly on the commentary stage. "Azir's wall push and Olaf's engage were perfect! EDG's formation was completely neutralized in the dragon pit!"
Without their two carries, EDG crumbled instantly. Although Achen's Lee Sin managed to trade kills with the low-health Xin Zhao, he was also focused down and killed by Leona and Ashe. Vamp's Braum also succumbed, falling in the dragon pit.
"One for four!! LNG pulled off a perfect team fight, one for four, in a desperate situation!!!" Wawa roared hoarsely, "This team fight is unbelievable! They defended Baron and won the team fight!"
Where is Su Mo's Teemo at this moment?
At the moment the team fight broke out, Su Mo originally planned to flank from the side. But when he saw Azir's perfect wall push and Olaf's teleport landing, his extremely keen battlefield sense made him make an instant judgment.
"We can't handle this wave."
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mo abandoned his attempt to engage. He activated his W ability [Run] and, using the increased movement speed, retreated towards his own upper jungle without looking back.
LNG stepped over the corpses of four EDG players and took over the remaining two thousand health of the Baron.
"Attack Baron! Quick! We have the Baron buff and can turn the game around!" Tarzan roared frantically in the voice chat. Although he was dead, his heart was pounding.
With a mournful cry, LNG successfully secured Baron Nash!
"We survived! We survived!" Scout breathed a sigh of relief, his palms sweating profusely.
The director's camera cut to Timo, who was fleeing alone.
"Brother Mozi ran away so fast." Miller smiled wryly. "This judgment was very rational. If Teemo had entered the fray, he would have been instantly melted by Olaf and Azir when they activated their ultimates. Preserving a dragon seed is the best way to minimize losses."
Su Mo returned to the fountain, looking at his teammates' grayed-out avatars, his expression remaining calm.
He opened the shop and bought [Demon's Embrace]. With the Mask of Madness and Demon's Embrace, Teemo's venom burn damage reached an extremely terrifying threshold.
"Sorry, Brother Mo, I was pushed down by the Tsar and couldn't keep my center position." Ah Chen said apologetically in the voice message.
"Olaf's ultimate was unavoidable, and I didn't use my Flash." Xiao Yue also felt somewhat guilty.
Su Mo picked up the thermos, took a sip of water, and spoke calmly:
"What's the rush? They got Baron, but they can't push the minion wave. Once the Baron buff is gone, they'll still be trapped."
22 minutes.
With the Baron buff, the five LNG players were in high spirits and, with the enhanced super minions, began to push towards EDG's outer mid-lane turret.
EDG opted for a defensive strategy, utilizing Syndra's QE combo and Aphelios' wave clear ability to hold onto the mid-lane second tower.
Su Mo, however, did not stand with his teammates.
He began an extremely "disgusting" one-man dribbling strategy.
Teemo's tower-pushing speed was extremely fast with the help of Nashor's Tooth. While LNG was chipping away at the mid-lane tower, Su Mo had already pushed the minion wave across the river in the bottom lane.
Twenty-one minutes and thirty seconds.
LNG dared not let Teemo continue to push the lane, so they had to send Zika's Olaf to the bottom lane to defend.
"I'm going to check the bottom lane, you guys push the mid lane." Zika gritted her teeth and walked towards the bottom lane.
At this moment, after pushing the minion wave to the bottom lane's second tower, Su Mo did not choose to push the tower. Instead, he used the same trick again and plunged into LNG's lower jungle.
Twenty-two minutes.
The real "terrifying landmine war" has begun.
Taking advantage of the push provided by the Baron buff, LNG wanted to invade EDG's jungle to establish vision control.
Leona, carrying a scanner, walked through the red buff jungle.
"boom!"
Before the scan could find anything, Leona stepped on a mushroom hidden in a shadowy corner.
The purple poisonous mist exploded instantly! The double burn from the large mask and Demon's Embrace caused even the magic-resistant Leona to lose a small chunk of health!
"This damage isn't right!" Leona cried out in alarm.
Followed by.
"boom!"
Hanbing, who was following behind, took a step to the side to avoid the poisonous fog, and stepped on a mushroom again!
Ice is inherently fragile, and this explosion instantly reduced its health bar by half and severely slowed it down!
"Help! I can't walk!" Gala frantically handed over the medical device.
"Teemo! Where's Teemo?!" Tarzan's Xin Zhao activated his scan and searched everywhere, but couldn't find a single trace of him.
After planting all the mushrooms in the jungle, Su Mo's Teemo had already used his invisibility and high movement speed to quietly return to the mid lane to defend!
22 minutes and 30 seconds.
Because the jungle was full of mushrooms, LNG not only failed to push out vision, but also lost a lot of health due to stepping on the mushrooms, forcing them to stop their Baron buff push.
"How am I supposed to push this way! The jungle is full of mushrooms, one step and there's a mine!" Scout complained in the voice chat.
"Drag it out. Wait until the Baron buff ends, then they won't be able to leave their high ground." Su Mo coldly watched the retreating LNG team over the voice chat.
Twenty-three minutes.
The Baron buff duration has ended.
LNG's advance has failed; they couldn't even touch one of EDG's high ground towers.
The situation has once again reached a suffocating stalemate.
The economic gap remains around 5,000, but EDG's Teemo has become a nightmare for everyone on LNG.
"This is torture." Wawa looked at the dense mushroom icons on the screen. "Brother Mozi used Teemo's mushrooms to completely ruin a team with the Baron buff!"
Ning took a deep breath: "This is psychological warfare. Even though LNG won the team fight, my Teemo won't engage in team fights with you. I'll just plant mushrooms in your base, and if you dare to come out, I'll blow you up until you can't take care of yourself. This kind of torture is even worse than being killed outright!"
Twenty-four minutes.
The fourth dragon (earth dragon) is about to spawn.
This is EDG's winning hand.
"We absolutely have to take this dragon!" Coach U clenched his fists backstage. "If they get a dragon that puts them one in the bag, we won't be able to handle the big dragon fights that follow!"
The five LNG crew members assembled and prepared to advance down the river channel.
But this time, they were smarter.
Leona and Xin Zhao walked at the front, each carrying two control wards, activating their scanners, and slowly moving forward, placing mines one step at a time.
Twenty-four minutes and twenty seconds.
The five members of LNG made their way to the lower river pass with difficulty. Along the way, they eliminated five mushrooms, which took up time, but fortunately, they maintained a healthy amount of health.
Meanwhile, EDG has already spread out their formation and firmly occupied the dragon pit.
"A team fight is about to break out! This dragon fight will determine the course of the game!" Miller spoke rapidly.
Just as the LNG was about to forcefully pressurize the river channel!
The director suddenly switched the camera to the top lane!
At this point, the minion wave in the top lane had been pushed to the front of LNG's high ground tower.
Meanwhile, Teemo, who had disappeared for a full two minutes, was now standing brazenly under LNG's top lane inhibitor turret, frantically attacking the turret!
"Teemo is stealing our base!!!" the doll screamed.
Everyone at LNG was shocked!
"How could he be on the road?! We've been clearing mines all the way here, and we haven't seen him go anywhere!" Tarzan was dumbfounded.
A cruel smile curled at the corners of Su Mo's lips.
For the past two minutes, he used invisibility to stand motionless in a blind spot in LNG's red buff jungle for a full minute. Only after all five LNG players had moved to the bottom side of the jungle did he deactivate his invisibility and head straight for the empty top lane!
This is the patience and forbearance of a top assassin!
Twenty-four minutes and forty seconds.
With Nashor's Tooth providing high attack speed, LNG's top lane inhibitor tower collapsed!
"Get back on defense! Zika, get back on defense!" Scout shouted anxiously.
Olaf quickly activated his recall ability in the river bushes.
But Su Mo had no intention of retreating. After destroying the high ground tower, he headed straight for the top lane crystal!
Twenty-four minutes and fifty seconds.
The top lane inhibitor has been destroyed!
Meanwhile, Zika's Olaf finally returned to the fountain, activated his ultimate ability and charged into the top lane in a berserk mode, attempting to hold off Teemo.
Su Mo deftly planted a mushroom on Olaf's path, then activated W [Run] and sped away with the movement speed bonus.
"This is terrifying... This ability to control the lane." Ning shook his head repeatedly on the commentary stage. "Although LNG went to contest the dragon, their top lane inhibitor was destroyed. Once the super minions appear, their minion wave pressure will be so great that they can't breathe."
On the main battlefield, with Olaf returning to defend, LNG was down to one player and dared not engage in team fights. They could only watch helplessly as EDG secured the Earth Dragon.
Twenty-five minutes.
The balance of power has tipped dramatically once again.
Su Mo returned to the city and opened the shop.
He bought his fourth item – the Void Staff (Void Staff).
Mask of Madness, Nashor's Tooth, Demon's Embrace, Void Staff.
At this point in time, the damage from Teemo's mushrooms with this equipment is no longer a drain on health, but a true destructive force.
At 25 minutes and 30 seconds, EDG used the super minions in the top lane to create pressure and begin to exert extremely strong vision control on LNG's lower jungle.
Achen's Lee Sin and Xiaoyue's Syndra were in the front, while Leave's Aphelios followed behind Braum's shield.
Su Mo, however, still did not choose to group up with the main force. He sneaked into LNG's upper jungle like a ghost.
At this moment, Zika was struggling to clear out the tough super minions on the top lane high ground. He didn't even dare to step out of the high ground, because he knew that there were definitely countless deadly surprises hidden in that jungle area.
Twenty-six minutes.
The second dragon is about to spawn.
LNG is in a very passive position. The top lane is under immense pressure from minions, and the bottom half of the map is completely dark.
"We can't keep letting ourselves be slowly boiled like frogs in water," Scout said through gritted teeth in the voice chat. "If we don't find an opportunity to make a move, once Baron Nashor spawns, we'll really be doomed."
How do we initiate? The opposing team is packed tightly; if I force my way in, Braum's counter-attack can shut us all down. Tarzan's voice was filled with deep helplessness.
I'll look for an opportunity. The support Leona took a deep breath. I brought a control ward and a scanner; I'll go first, you guys follow closely.
26 minutes and 20 seconds.
The five LNG players grouped together and slowly moved out from the bottom lane high ground gate, attempting to probe towards the Dragon Pit.
The female tank took the lead, activating the scanner and carefully checking the entrances to the river.
Just as they reached the pass near the ruins of the second tower in the middle road.
boom!
A muffled thud. Leona had stepped on a mushroom hidden in the edge of the shadows.
The poisonous fog exploded instantly!
The combined burn from the large mask and demonic embrace, along with the penetration effect of the magic penetration rod, directly reduced the Leona's health by nearly half!
"Holy crap! What the hell is that damage?!" Leona cried out in horror.
Before they could even react...
boom!
To avoid the poisonous fog, Zhao Xin, who positioned himself slightly to the back, stepped on a mushroom again!
Half of his health bar evaporated instantly!
Retreat! Retreat now! Tarzan was terrified and quickly used his E skill to pull back.
But how could EDG possibly let this opportunity slip by?
Ah Chen's Lee Sin burst out from the blind spot on the flank, landing a precise Sonic Wave on the slowed Leona!
A team fight erupted instantly!
Lee Sin followed up with his second Q, and in mid-air, he executed Dragon's Tail with incredible fluidity, kicking Leona back into the EDG crowd!
Syndra followed up with crowd control, and Aphelios unleashed his full damage potential with his red and white sword. Leona didn't even have time to use her ultimate before she was instantly melted!
Without support, LNG's front line completely collapsed.
The Tsar attempted to drift in and push someone, but was knocked away by Braum's ultimate. Olaf activated his ultimate, Berserker Charge, but was pushed away by Syndra's Scatter Spell and then focused down and killed.
Only the Frostbite and a weakened Zhao Xin managed to escape back to the high ground in a sorry state.
One for zero.
EDG won this crucial team fight at minimal cost.
"Big Dragon! Attack Big Dragon!" Ah Chen shouted excitedly.
Twenty-seven minutes.
EDG's four players gathered at the dragon pit and began a rapid rush on Baron.
At this moment, the director's camera did not focus on the Dragon Pit, but instead switched to the LNG fountain.
The audience was shocked to discover that Su Mo's Teemo had somehow managed to sneak up to LNG's inhibitor tower without anyone noticing!
"Teemo is backdooring!!" Wawa shouted hoarsely from the commentary booth.
It turns out that Su Mo didn't participate in the team fight at all. He used his invisibility to his advantage, hiding in the blind spot of LNG's red buff jungle. After the entire LNG team went to defend the mid lane, he brazenly walked into LNG's base through the empty top lane!
27 minutes and 10 seconds.
With Nashor's Tooth buff, Teemo's tower-pushing speed is outrageously fast.
With a sharp blast of the blasting arrows, LNG’s first tower collapsed with a deafening roar!
Back up! Back up now! The high ground is gone! Scout, who had just respawned in the fountain, nearly popped his eyes out when he saw this.
He quickly controlled the Tsar to rush out of the fountain, trying to stop Teemo.
But Su Mo wasn't afraid at all.
As he walked towards the second tooth tower, he arrogantly planted a mushroom on the Tsar's inevitable route!
The Tsar drifted over and stepped right on a mushroom!
boom!
The purple poisonous mist exploded, and the Tsar's health instantly dropped by half!
Su Mo turned around and fired a blinding blowgun that accurately hit the Tsar!
While blinded, all of the Tsar's sand soldiers' thrusts missed their mark!
Using the speed boost from his Swift Footwork, Su Mo skillfully dodged Tsar's ultimate ability to push the wall and continued to relentlessly attack the tower!
27 minutes and 20 seconds.
The second tooth tower collapsed with a roar!
The LNG's blue crystal hub is completely exposed to the air!
At this moment, Tarzan's Xin Zhao and Ashe finally arrived at the base.
Kill him! Kill him! Tarzan, his eyes bloodshot, used his E skill, Fearless Charge, to stab Teemo.
Su Mo did not back down. He stood by the crystal, enduring the damage from Zhao Xin and the Tsar, striking the crystal once, twice, three times, with unwavering determination!
His health was dropping rapidly, but Crystal's health was also plummeting!
Just as Teemo's health was about to drop to zero!
Ding!
A golden light shone!
Su Mo pressed the stopwatch on his body!
The golden Teemo statue solidified next to the LNG crystal, perfectly avoiding the fatal damage from Azir and Xin Zhao!
Stopwatch! Mozi has a stopwatch!! Miller's excited voice echoed throughout the venue.
Two and a half seconds later.
The golden statue is finished.
The moment Teemo got up, he flashed to create distance, and at the same time, he landed a perfect auto-attack on the Nexus, which was left with only a sliver of health!
boom!
With a deafening explosion, the blue crystal nexus shattered, turning into a dazzling rain of light.
The game screen freezes at 27 minutes and 25 seconds.
They won! EDG won! Wawa waved his arms wildly on the commentary stage, shouting with all his might, "2-0!" They won this crucial match with unstoppable momentum!
Miller was also flushed with excitement: "That's amazing! Mozi used Teemo in a way that no one expected, turning LNG's jungle into a biological minefield! Not only did he solo kill the jungler, but he also ended the game with his ultimate split-pushing and backdoor play!"
On the field, the lights suddenly came on.
Su Mo took off his headphones, his expression remaining calm. He rubbed his wrists, picked up the black thermos on the table, and took a sip of water.
It was as if the thrilling base raid just now was merely a trivial warm-up for ranked matches.
Ah Chen and Xiao Yue rushed over excitedly and hugged Su Mo tightly.
"Brother Mo is awesome! That base steal was so cool! I was watching you attack the base from the Dragon Pit just now, my heart almost stopped!" Ah Chen was so excited he was incoherent.
Su Mo smiled faintly and patted Ah Chen on the shoulder.
Let's go shake hands. It's time to get off work.
The atmosphere in LNG's match booth was deathly silent.
Zika slumped in his chair, covering his face with his hands, and remained seated for a long time. He had been utterly tormented by Teemo this game, and even normal last-hitting during the laning phase had become a luxury.
Tarzan stared blankly at the screen. After being used as an ATM by Su Mo twice in a row, his confidence had taken a devastating hit.
When Su Mo walked up to them and extended his hand with its distinct knuckles.
The LNG team members' eyes were filled with complex emotions. There was resentment, fear, but above all, a deep sense of powerlessness.
Facing an opponent whose skill, awareness, and hero pool were all unfathomable, they felt as if they had climbed an insurmountable mountain.
After the handshake, the five members of EDG walked to the center of the stage and bowed deeply to the audience.
The cheers from the crowd surged like a tsunami, and countless fans waving EDG support sticks were so excited that their eyes welled up with tears.
In the post-match interview, Yu Shuang was the one who conducted the interview today.
She wore an elegant cheongsam, her smile poised and graceful. When Su Mo walked to her side, their eyes met in mid-air, carrying a warmth that only they could understand.
Congratulations to EDG on their victory today, and congratulations to Mo for winning MVP again. Yu Shuang smiled and handed over the microphone. What were the tactical considerations behind picking Teemo, an extremely unpopular champion, in the second game today?
Su Mo took the microphone and looked calmly at the camera.
There wasn't anything particularly special on his mind. His deep voice echoed in the hall. The opposing team had banned all their warriors, thinking they could limit my performance. I just wanted to show them that there are no strong or weak heroes, only players who know how to play them. As long as you can destroy the enemy base, any hero can be the meta pick.
These domineering words instantly ignited the entire audience.
Yu Shuang suppressed a laugh and continued to ask: "So, during that last solo base raid, were you nervous? Did you ever think that if you didn't take him down, you'd be counterattacked?"
"Don't be nervous." Su Mo shook her head slightly, because she knew she could remove it. And...
He paused, a very faint smile curving his lips.
I want to leave work early and have a late-night snack.
The entire audience burst into laughter. The live stream chat was flooded with comments like "clocking out."
After the interview, Su Mo returned to the lounge under the escort of security. (End of Chapter)
