Chapter 774
Chapter 774
369's Poppy positioned herself very strategically next to her own ranged minions, and as soon as Riven came forward to last-hit, she immediately used her passive Stout Shield to smash Riven in the face.
"Snapped!"
Not only did he reduce Riven's health to a sliver, he also granted himself a shield.
Su Mo did not retreat. He withstood Poppy's basic attack and attacked a melee minion.
Seeing this, 369 immediately activated his Q skill, "Holy Hammer Smash," in an attempt to slow Riven down and deal two instances of damage.
But Su Mo's actions were like those of a ghost.
The moment Poppy raised the hammer.
Su Mo took a small step to the side with extreme dexterity, not only avoiding the core area of Poppy's Q skill, but also getting right up to Poppy's face!
Q skill [Broken Wings Dance] First slide out!
Light speed QA!
Basic attack! Q second hit! Basic attack!
All of this happened so fast that even the director's camera almost missed capturing that extremely slight attack recovery animation!
Zika was shocked; he hadn't expected Riven's level 1 burst damage to be so high! He quickly retreated, but Su Mo's Q three-stage attack had already landed with overwhelming force!
Knock them up! Basic attack!
"Shh!"
A perfect, seamless, lightning-fast QA combo, combined with the longsword's attack power, instantly reduced Poppy's health by half, even with Doran's Shield and Bone Plating!
Su Mo's Riven only lost one health point!
"Holy crap!!! What kind of hand speed is that?!" PDD jumped up on the commentary stage. "I didn't even see his basic attack animation! He completed three Qs and three basic attacks in one second?! Is that even human hand speed?!"
The doll was also dumbfounded: "Poppy with 369 was completely stunned by the combo! He thought he could wear her down, but he ended up losing half his health!"
After finishing his combo, Su Mo calmly retreated to his own lane and consumed a health potion.
369 swallowed hard, looking at his own dwindling health and then at Riven standing in front of the minion wave like a grim reaper, a sudden, indescribable fear rose in his heart.
"Is there no limit to this person's skills?" 369 said bitterly in the voice chat.
Two minutes.
Both sides were upgraded to level two.
Su Mo instantly learned the E skill, "Charge Forward." 369's Poppy learned the W skill, "Unwavering Spirit."
"I have W now. If he dares to Q me, I can cut him off!" 369 regained a bit of confidence.
At this moment, after Tarzan's Lee Sin started with red buff, he didn't go to the bottom half of the map, but instead went straight to gank top at level two!
"Tarzan is here! JDG knows that Riven has Ignite but no Flash (and no Teleport), so they're going to forcefully gank the top lane!" Miller's voice was tense.
Two and a half minutes.
The Lee Sin emerged from the top lane river bush and completely blocked Riven's escape route.
Seeing this, 369 immediately activated his W skill, "Unwavering Demeanor," and a golden aura surrounded Poppy as she charged towards Riven like a mad boar!
"If you dare to hand over Q or E, I can stop you!" 369 stared intently at the screen.
Facing being sandwiched between two people.
There was no trace of panic in Su Mo's eyes.
"You guys?"
The instant Lee Sin unleashed his Q ability, Sonic Wave!
Su Mo did not use any movement skills.
He simply took a step toward Bobby with utmost composure.
"Bang!" Lee Sin's Q skill missed!
At the same time, Poppy was already pressed against Riven's face!
369 didn't hesitate and immediately used his Q skill!
But Su Mo's hand speed once again amazed the entire audience!
At the same frame that Poppy's hammer fell, Su Mo pressed his E skill, "Charge Forward!"
Riven transformed into a blur, not only perfectly negating Poppy's Q skill damage with her shield, but even more terrifyingly, the displacement distance of her E skill was precisely controlled within the "inner circle" of Poppy's W skill's golden aura!
In other words, Riven didn't even touch the edge of Poppy's W's hitbox, so it wasn't blocked!
"Inner circle right up to the face?! This distance control is insane!!" Guan Zeyuan gasped.
Then, something even more terrifying happened.
The instant Su Mo landed his E skill, he immediately pressed his W skill, [Soul-Shaking Roar], with incredible fluidity!
"drink!"
Dizziness! Poppy, who was right next to him, was completely stunned on the spot!
Then, the light-speed QA burst forth once again!
Q1, Basic Attack! Q2, Basic Attack!
Light it and hang it up!
In an extremely short time, the terrifying damage from the longsword and the Conqueror's Blade was unleashed.
Poppy, with a health bar of 369, didn't even have a chance to wake up from her dizziness; her health bar instantly dropped to zero, just like evaporated water vapor!
"EDG.Mo has killed JDG.369!"
First Blood!
"First Blood!!! A comeback kill!!! Despite being ganked by Lee Sin and taking Poppy's W skill, Mozi's Riven actually managed a First Blood comeback!!!" Wawa shouted hoarsely, "This play is too insane! E to dodge W in the inner circle, and a lightning-fast QA to kill! He played Riven like a work of art!"
After killing Poppy, Su Mo's Riven still had plenty of health.
He turned to look at the blind monk beside him.
Tarzan swallowed hard as he looked at Riven, who was at full health, standing on Poppy's corpse, and exuding murderous intent. He didn't even dare to use his second Q, and immediately warded and fled towards the river.
"Stop sending him! This guy is a monster!" Tarzan shouted in the voice chat.
Three and a half minutes.
Su Mo calmly pushed the minion wave into JDG's top lane tower and then recalled.
Using the 400 gold from the first blood and a perfect last hit, he immediately pulled out two [Longswords]!
Three longswords were taken out!
For a Riven who is only level 3, this attack power has reached an extremely terrifying threshold.
"This build... is too brutal." PDD shook his head repeatedly. "369 is unplayable this game. His proud W skill is practically useless in front of Mozi."
Four and a half minutes.
Back online, Zika's Poppy only bought one Cloth Armor.
Faced with Riven wielding three longswords, Poppy didn't even dare to use auto-attacks to last-hit the minions under the tower, and could only smash them from a distance with her passive round shield.
But Su Mo had no intention of giving him a chance to catch his breath.
He controlled the minion wave in front of the tower, waiting for Poppy's passive Stout Shield to be used.
Su Mo started with his Q skill, using his incredibly precise distance control to stop his movement the instant Poppy activated her W skill, then stunned Poppy with his W skill and finished her off without taking any damage.
"This is so frustrating! Poppy with 369 health is being used as an ATM!" Miller sighed as he looked at Poppy's pitiful health.
Six minutes.
Both sides reached level six at the same time.
This is an extremely crucial juncture.
Su Mo's Riven has full health. Meanwhile, 369's Poppy has only a pitiful third of her health and almost no mana.
“Tarzan, help! He’s trying to jump over me!” 369 cried out desperately in the voice chat.
Tarzan had just finished clearing his own red buff when he heard the cries for help, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and head towards the top lane.
But it was all too late.
Six minutes and ten seconds.
Su Mo led a wave of cannon minions and went straight into JDG's top lane tower.
Poppy was trembling under the tower.
Su Mo did not hesitate at all.
The ultimate skill, [Exiled Blade], is unleashed!
The runic broken sword instantly swelled, emitting a terrifying green light.
"The day the broken sword is reforged will be the day the knight returns!"
Accompanied by extremely domineering lines.
Su Mo's Riven has moved!
Start with E skill!
Just as 369 subconsciously activated his W skill to try and block!
Su Mo used his Flash ability with extreme decisiveness!
E Flash!
In a flash of golden light, Riven not only crossed Poppy's W skill's defense detection circle, but also directly pressed herself against Poppy's face!
W skill [Soul Roar]! Stuns!
Basic attack followed by Tiamat (assuming he has it, although it wasn't mentioned earlier that he bought it, but for the sake of a smooth combo, you can skip Tiamat)... no, it's basic attack followed by Q skill!
Light speed QA!
Before the turret's laser could strike, the final ultimate move, [Swift Slash], was unleashed with overwhelming force!
Three sharp sword energies grazed Poppy's body.
"Crack!"
Poppy's health bar instantly dropped to zero!
"EDG.Mo has killed JDG.369!"
After killing the enemy, Su Mo didn't even use the third Q to escape. Instead, he calmly withstood the second laser from the turret and walked out of the turret's range with low health.
At this moment, Tarzan's Lee Sin had just reached the top lane river bush.
Seeing the corpses beneath the tower and Riven's swift departure, Tarzan didn't even have the courage to give chase.
"Tower dive solo kill!!! Despite Poppy's W skill, E-Flash-W-speed QA plus ultimate for the kill!!!" Guan Zeyuan was pounding the table wildly on the commentary stage. "This Riven's play is so smooth, without a single unnecessary movement! Counter? There's no counter against Mozi's Riven!"
Seven minutes.
With this stunning tower dive solo kill, JDG's top lane completely collapsed.
The director switches to the alignment panel.
Riven: 2-0-0, 60 CS.
Poppy: 0-2-0, last hit...15.
This is an extremely exaggerated matchup gap for a playoff semifinal. "This top lane isn't playing a match anymore, it's playing a one-man game." PDD stroked his chin. "Mozi's Riven is not only incredibly skilled, but his understanding of distance and mechanics is absolutely mind-blowing."
Eight minutes.
Su Mo returned to the city and opened the shop.
In a flash of golden light, the mythical equipment [Star Eclipse] was instantly formed! Plus a pair of [Boots of Clarity] (CD shoes).
Eight minutes of Eclipse Riven.
This not only means extreme armor penetration and burst damage, but also that Riven's skill cooldown time has reached an extremely terrifying level.
"Ah Chen, give me the Vanguard." Su Mo's voice rang out calmly in the voice chat.
"Okay, Brother Mo!"
Eight and a half minutes.
Su Mo soloed the Rift Herald and obtained the Herald's Eye.
Instead of roaming to other routes, he returned directly to the top lane.
At this moment, 369, after respawning, didn't even have the courage to look at the first tower, and retreated directly to the second tower.
Su Mo, leading the minion wave, swaggered and crushed the Vanguard's Eye.
"boom!"
The massive Rift Herald smashed JDG's top lane tower!
"First tower! Mozi took down the first tower all by himself in less than nine minutes!"
Nine minutes and ten seconds.
After taking down the first tower, Su Mo did not retreat, but instead led the vanguard to continue pushing towards JDG's second tower!
"That's insane! He's trying to push the second tower all by himself! JDG has to take control of this!" Wawa shouted.
JDG's coaching staff were jumping up and down in frustration backstage.
"Catch him! All Nakano players, get to the top! We can't let him push anymore!"
Nine minutes and thirty seconds.
Knight's Sylas and Tarzan's Lee Sin abandoned the mid lane minions and both ganked the top jungle.
With Poppy below the tower, the encirclement of the three is rapidly shrinking!
"Three players are ganking her! JDG can't take it anymore, they've mobilized a large force to catch Riven!" Miller stared nervously at the screen. "But this is Riven with Eclipse! If this isn't handled properly, it could be disastrous!"
They were about to be surrounded by three people.
Su Mo stood in front of JDG's second top lane tower, a cold smile curving his lips.
"Good timing."
Knight's Sylas and Tarzan's Lee Sin abandoned the mid lane minions and both ganked the top jungle.
With Poppy below the tower, the encirclement of the three is rapidly shrinking!
"Three players are ganking her! JDG can't take it anymore, they've mobilized a large force to catch Riven!" Miller stared nervously at the screen. "But this is Riven with Eclipse! If this isn't handled properly, it could be disastrous!"
They were about to be surrounded by three people.
Su Mo stood in front of JDG's second top lane tower, glanced at the enemy mid and jungle who had disappeared from the minimap, and his deep eyes remained completely calm.
Instead of retreating to his own safe zone, he controlled Riven and plunged headlong into JDG's red buff jungle!
"Brother Mozi is advancing instead of retreating?! He's entered the jungle!" Wawa exclaimed.
Nine minutes and forty seconds.
Sumoka was in a small clump of grass behind the Red Buff wall.
This is the only way for Lee Sin and Sylas to flank them!
"He's trying to ambush someone!!" PDD's eyes widened suddenly.
As expected, the Lee Sin with his scanner on walked in front, with Sylas close behind.
The scanning red light swept across the grass, instantly illuminating the figure holding the broken sword!
"Here!" Tarzan roared, unleashing his Q skill, [Sonic Wave], directly at the target!
Knight's Sylas immediately used his E skill [Escape/Kidnap] to close the distance, preparing to follow up with crowd control.
Just as Lee Sin's Q skill was about to hit!
Su Mo moved!
Instead of using a movement skill to dodge, he immediately activated his ultimate skill, "Exile's Edge"!
The runic broken sword instantly swelled, emitting a terrifying green light.
Then, something incredibly unbelievable happened!
Instead of retreating, Su Mo faced the trajectory of the Lee Sin's second Q kick and used the first part of his Q skill, "Broken Wings Dance"!
"boom!"
Lee Sin landed with his second Q, but was hit by Riven's Q1 damage, which also triggered Eclipse's shield!
Just as the Lee Sin was about to slam the floor to slow down!
Su Mo's W skill, [Soul-Shaking Roar], crashed down!
Dizziness! The Blind Monk is frozen in place!
At this moment, Sylas's second E skill, the chain, had already flown over!
If Riven gets caught in the trap, and Poppy follows up with her entry, she's doomed.
But Su Mo's movements were as smooth as flowing water.
The instant he stunned Lee Sin with his W, he used his E skill, "Charge," to slide to the side with incredible smoothness, not only dodging Sylas's chains but also using his shield to negate the burn damage from Lee Sin's red buff!
"She dodged it!! That movement was absolutely perfect!"
The instant he dodged the skill, Su Mo immediately turned around and unleashed an extremely brutal, lightning-fast QA attack on the stunned Lee Sin!
Basic attack! Q2! Basic attack!
Combined with the high armor penetration damage of Star Eclipse, Lee Sin's already low health bar instantly dwindled to almost nothing!
Tarzan woke up from his dizziness and was so frightened that he quickly used his ultimate move, Dragon's Tail, to try and kick Riven away.
But at the very limit of one tenth of a second when he kicked!
Su Mo's third Q skill, "Dance of Broken Wings," crashed down!
Knocked away!
Not only did it interrupt the Lee Sin's ultimate ability initiation, but it also followed up with a fatal auto-attack in mid-air!
"Crack!"
Lee Sin's health bar is completely depleted!
"EDG.Mo has killed JDG.Tarzan!"
"My God!!! Instant counter-kill of the jungler!!!" Guan Zeyuan roared hoarsely, "That combo was too fast! From the moment the Lee Sin kicked him to his death, it was less than two seconds!!!"
After killing the blind monk, Su Mo's health only dropped slightly.
He turned to look at Silas beside him.
Knight was starting to panic; he hadn't expected the Blind Monk to die so quickly.
But he also knew that Riven had just used up a set of skills and was in a vulnerable period.
"Kill him! He's out of skills!" Poppy from 369 finally arrived from the second tower, activating her W skill [Unwavering Demeanor] and charging towards Riven!
Facing being surrounded by two people.
Su Mo remained completely calm. He utilized the significant cooldown reduction from Boots of Lucidity and Eclipse to meticulously maneuver and kite in the jungle.
As he retreated towards the river, he used his Q skill's extremely short cooldown to continuously whittle down Sylas's pursuit.
Knight's Sylas wanted to use W to heal, but Su Mo always managed to stay at the perfect distance, preventing Sylas from touching him!
"What disgusting pulling! Mozi's CD is too fast, he's like an eel, Silas can't even touch him!" Miller shouted.
Ten minutes and ten seconds.
After a tense standoff lasting over ten seconds, Su Mo's health was reduced to half, but his ultimate skill, [Exile's Edge], was about to expire!
Moreover, all his skill cooldowns are ready again!
By this time, Poppy and Silas had caught up to the river mouth.
"Now!"
A chilling light flashed in Su Mo's eyes.
Instead of retreating, he advanced!
Poppy's E skill, "Charge Forward," charged directly at her!
Upon seeing this, 369 was overjoyed, thinking that Riven had accidentally run into his W skill!
However, Su Mo's E skill landed precisely on the edge of Poppy's W skill aura! It wasn't intercepted!
The moment Su Mo rushed to Poppy's face, he didn't attack Poppy. Instead, he used Q1's dash to pass directly through Poppy's body and landed on Sylas's face behind her!
"A feint attack! The target is Silas!!"
W skill [Soul Roar]! Stuns!
Light-speed QA bursts forth instantly!
Just as Sylas awoke from his stun and was about to unleash his ultimate ability, "The Way of the Man" (the stolen Maokai ultimate)!
Su Mo decisively unleashed his final ultimate move, [Swift Wind Slash]!
Three sharp sword energies roared out!
"Crack!"
Sylas was cleaved in two by the sword energy in mid-air!
"Double Kill!"
"Double kill!!! One against three, two kills!!! Sylas died before he could even use his ultimate!!!" The doll pounded the table frantically. "That kiting! That burst damage! That's like death itself!!!"
After killing Silas, Su Mo's health was almost depleted.
But Poppy from 369, seeing Riven covered in blood and standing on her teammates' corpses, didn't even have the courage to chase after her and turned around and fled back to the jungle.
Ten and a half minutes.
This was accompanied by a stunning 1v3 double kill that shocked the entire audience.
Su Mo walked calmly to the river and casually took down the Rift Herald that had just spawned (this assumes the Herald had not been attacked before, or this is a modified setting).
“This lane has become a one-sided slaughterhouse.” PDD stroked his chin. “Mozi’s Riven not only has no upper limit to his skills, but his courage and calculation ability are also despair-inducing.”
Eleven minutes.
Su Mo returned to the city and opened the shop.
He bought his second extremely powerful damage item – [Ravenous Hydra] (a combination of Tiamat and Vampiric Scepter).
Eleven minutes later, Star Eclipse, Ravenous Hydra, and CD Shoes.
This extreme burst damage and lifesteal build makes Riven an unstoppable monster in split-pushing situations. (End of Chapter)
