Chapter 775
Head-on confrontation!
"Chen, go control the dragon in the lower half of the map, and don't let anyone come to the upper half," Su Mo calmly gave the instructions over the voice chat.
"Got it, Mo Ge! I'm completely overwhelmed in the bottom half of the map!" Ah Chen's big tree happily headed towards the dragon pit.
11 minutes and 40 seconds.
With a huge advantage, Su Mo returned to the top lane, where the minion wave had already been pushed across the river.
After Poppy revived at level 369, she bought a small item from Ice Heart in an attempt to increase her resistances.
But against Star Eclipse Riven, armor is practically useless.
Su Mo pushed the minion wave into JDG's second top lane tower.
Instead of rushing to push the tower, he positioned himself between the second tower and the high ground tower and began to aggressively cut off the minion wave!
"Minion wave cut! Another minion wave cut!" the child exclaimed. "Brother Mozi is going to suffocate 369 under the tower!"
12 minutes and 20 seconds.
Poppy, with her 369 stat, wasn't even allowed to farm experience under the second tower. She tried to use her passive round shield to finish off a low-health melee minion.
The moment he made his move.
Su Mo's Riven burst forth from the shadows outside the high ground walls!
There was no ultimate skill used; it was just a burst of basic skills!
Start with E skill, then use the QW combo to instantly stun Poppy!
The Light Speed QA combo, combined with the AOE damage of the Greedy Hydra and the armor penetration of Star Eclipse, creates a powerful attack.
In just one second!
Poppy's health bar evaporated by more than half!
369 was terrified and quickly used his ultimate skill, "Guardian's Judgment," to try and knock Riven away.
But in the instant he was charging up, Su Mo made an extremely delicate little step, not only dodging Poppy's ultimate knock-up, but also taking away Poppy's last bit of health with a backhand basic attack!
"EDG.Mo has killed JDG.369!"
"Slaughter ensued!"
"Another solo kill!!! He solo killed Poppy right in front of the inhibitor turret without even using his ultimate!!!" Miller roared hoarsely, "That damage is insane! Poppy is like a squishy champion in front of him!"
12 minutes and 50 seconds.
After killing Poppy, Su Mo easily pushed down JDG's second top lane tower.
At this point, the economic gap had exceeded five thousand yuan.
Su Mo's record reached a terrifying 5-0-0.
"The only suspense in this game seems to be when EDG wants to end it." PDD shook his head repeatedly. "JDG's five-ban top laner strategy not only failed to limit Mozi, but also brought out his most terrifying side."
Thirteen and a half minutes.
After Su Mo destroyed the second tower, he did not return to the city.
He plunged headlong into JDG's upper jungle.
At this moment, Tarzan's Lee Sin was struggling to farm his own red buff.
"Jungler, watch out! Riven's in the jungle!" Scout warned anxiously in the voice chat.
But it was all too late.
When the blind monk saw the dark red figure holding the broken sword.
Su Mo has already activated the Spirit of the Dream!
Ultimate move activated!
Without further ado, I immediately used E-Flash-W to engage!
Dizziness! Lightning-fast QA followed by the ultimate move, Gale Slash!
Lee Sin didn't even have a chance to use his ultimate or Flash, and he didn't even have time to use Smite on the red buff before it was instantly melted!
"EDG.Mo has killed JDG.Tarzan!"
"Approaching a berserk state!"
"Instant kill!! Another jungle kill!!!" Wawa shouted frantically, "Tarzan has been traumatized by this match! He can't even take the red buff in his own jungle!"
Fourteen minutes.
With the death of Lee Sin, JDG's top half of the map was completely lost.
Su Mo stepped over the Blind Monk's corpse and casually took the Red Buff.
"This jungle area is mine."
His deep voice rang out in the audio, carrying a suffocating aura of monarchical dominance.
Meanwhile, the second dragon (fire dragon) spawned in the lower half of the map.
Fourteen minutes and twenty seconds.
The remaining four JDG players gritted their teeth and pushed towards the lower river, attempting to contest the fire dragon to salvage the situation.
"We can't let them get to Dragon Soul. If we let them have it, we won't be able to engage in mid-game team fights at all," Knight's Sylas said in a deep voice over the voice chat.
"I'll take the scanner and go ahead. You guys watch out for Riven's teleport to flank you." Missing's Milio activated the scanner, cautiously checking his vision.
At this moment, the four EDG players had already positioned themselves near the dragon pit. Achen's Maokai activated his ultimate, Nature's Grasp, to force JDG into a team fight.
However, just as a team fight was about to break out head-on!
The director suddenly switched the camera to the top lane high ground!
"High ground! Mozi didn't go to the front, he's dismantling the high ground tower!" Wawa exclaimed from the commentary booth.
Su Mo's Riven, leading a large wave of minions, took advantage of the vacuum period when JDG's entire team was busy maneuvering in the bottom half of the map and recklessly destroyed JDG's top lane inhibitor tower.
With the terrifying tower-pushing speed of the Greedy Hydra and Eclipse, the high ground tower's health dropped like water.
"Back up! The high ground is gone!" 369 shouted desperately in the voice chat, and he quickly pressed recall in the river bushes.
Fourteen minutes and fifty seconds.
"boom!"
The high ground tower on the top lane collapsed with a deafening roar!
Without pausing for a moment, Su Mo began dismantling the crystal.
At this moment, 369's Poppy finally returned to the fountain, activated her W skill [Unwavering Demeanor] and Ghost, and charged towards the top lane inhibitor like a mad boar.
"I'll hold him off, you guys take the dragon head-on!" 369 roared.
Faced with Bobby charging aggressively, Su Mo did not choose to run away.
Instead of retreating, he advanced and walked towards Bobby!
Fifteen minutes exactly.
In front of the crystal, Riven and Poppy once again met head-on.
Without the slightest hesitation, 369 immediately charged up his ultimate skill, "Guardian's Judgment," intending to knock Riven off the high ground.
But how could Su Mo possibly give him that opportunity?
Just as Poppy was charging up her ultimate, Su Mo made an extremely subtle movement, cutting into the blind spot of Poppy's ultimate's hitbox!
Poppy's ultimate skill slammed down, but only knocked away a few minions!
"It's gone! Poppy's ultimate missed!" Miller shouted.
Poppy, with her ultimate ability ineffective, is like a toothless tiger in front of Riven.
Su Mo activated his ultimate skill, "Exiled Blade," unleashing a lightning-fast QA combo!
Under the terrifying damage from Eclipse and Hydra, Poppy's once-proud armor was as fragile as paper.
Just two seconds!
Poppy's health bar was instantly reduced to zero!
"EDG.Mo has killed JDG.369!"
"Godlike!"
"Another solo kill!! He solo killed Poppy right in front of the high ground crystal!!" PDD slammed his fist on the table excitedly. "I can't even understand Riven's damage! Poppy is like a squishy champion in front of him!"
After killing Poppy, Su Mo calmly destroyed the top lane inhibitor and retreated into the jungle as a dark red afterimage before the rest of JDG could return to defend.
On the main battlefield, due to Poppy's defensive rotation, LNG was down to one player and not only failed to secure the Infernal Dragon, but EDG also managed to trade 1 for 2, with Lee Sin and Sylas both dying.
"Trading the high ground for the dragon is a huge loss for JDG!" Wawa sighed.
Sixteen minutes.
EDG's overall economic lead reached a terrifying 7,000 gold.
Su Mo returned to the city and bought his third piece of equipment—[Dance of Death].
Star Eclipse, Hydra of Greed, Dance of Death.
This equipment set allows Riven to possess extreme burst damage while also gaining incredibly terrifying survivability and sustain.
"In the upcoming matches, JDG can only hope that Ruler's Varus can pull off a miracle in team fights," Miller analyzed.
Seventeen minutes.
The Baron Nashor is about to spawn.
JDG was forced to retreat their defenses entirely to their high ground, because the jungle outside had been completely taken over by the Grim Reaper wielding the broken sword.
"Clear the vision in the jungle, don't give them a chance to steal Baron," Knight commanded in the voice chat.
Tarzan's Lee Sin and Missing's Milio cautiously stepped off the high ground and began clearing wards.
Seventeen and a half minutes.
When the two walked to the bushes near F6.
suddenly!
A dark red figure suddenly leaped out from the bushes!
It's Su Mo's Riven! He didn't leave at all; he's been lying in wait here!
The ultimate skill wasn't activated!
Start with E skill, then use W [Soul Roar] to instantly stun both Lee Sin and Milio!
"Two people fainted!!"
The lightning-fast QA combo whizzed between the two, with Tiamat's cleave effect maximizing the damage!
Tarzan didn't even have a chance to escape by touching his eyes; he was instantly killed!
"EDG.Mo has killed JDG.Tarzan!"
Milio was so frightened that he quickly used his ultimate and Flash to escape back to the high ground, but his health had already been reduced to a sliver.
"Jungler killed instantly! Baron is about to spawn, JDG's jungler is dead!" Wawa shouted loudly.
Without their jungler, JDG completely lost the right to contest vision around Baron Nashor.
Eighteen minutes.
With a deafening roar, Baron Nash descended!
Without any hesitation, the five members of EDG immediately started attacking Baron.
The remaining four JDG players could only stand under the high ground tower, watching helplessly as the Baron's health rapidly decreased.
"Let it go, let it go, let's defend the high ground," 369 said bitterly.
Eighteen minutes and twenty seconds.
EDG easily secured Baron Nashor, and with the enhanced minions from the Baron buff, they began pushing down all three lanes.
Nineteen minutes.
With the top lane inhibitor destroyed, EDG shifted their focus to the mid and bottom lanes.
Su Mo led the bottom lane minions, while A Chen and the other three pushed the mid lane.
This is an extremely suffocating and complex operation.
“JDG has to send someone to defend Riven, otherwise their bottom lane inhibitor will fall too.” Miller observed the situation. “But who will defend her? Poppy has been solo-killed countless times; sending her would just be suicide.”
Ultimately, Knight's Sylas and 369's Poppy were forced to go to the bottom lane to defend Riven.
Nineteen minutes and thirty seconds.
Su Mo pushed the minion wave to the bottom lane's high ground tower.
Facing the defense of Sylas and Poppy, he didn't retreat but advanced, directly crossing the minion wave and activating his ultimate!
"He's trying to take on two opponents again?! Right under their high ground tower?!" PDD's eyes widened.
Su Mo's actions once again shocked the entire audience.
The moment Poppy activated her W to try and block, he used extremely precise vision control and fake movement to bait out Poppy's W skill!
Then, E-Flash-W enters the fray!
With extreme precision, Silas was knocked unconscious on the spot!
A lightning-fast QA burst forth! With the blessing of Death's Dance and Hydra, Sylas's health bar evaporated instantly!
"EDG.Mo has killed JDG.Knight!"
Poppy tried to counter-attack, but after killing Sylas, Su Mo used the Triumph buff from the kill to calmly pull out of the turret's range. "He killed the mid laner under the high ground turret defended by two people and escaped unscathed!!" Wawa shouted wildly.
twenty minutes.
With the death of their mid laner, JDG's bottom lane inhibitor turret and crystal fell.
With both high ground towers breached, the pressure from the super minions was suffocating JDG.
But JDG, as a top team, demonstrated its resilience at this moment.
"Don't give up! Drag it out! We still have a chance to team fight once Varus has three items!" Ruler shouted in the voice chat. Despite the extremely difficult circumstances of this game, he still maintained perfect farming and development.
Twenty-two minutes.
The third dragon (fire dragon) has appeared, giving EDG a chance to win the Dragon Soul.
This is a team fight that JDG has to engage in.
"Go get the dragon! They're outnumbered, Riven's pushing the top lane!" Tarzan keenly caught the information on the minimap.
JDG's five players all came out and advanced towards the lower river.
Twenty-two and a half minutes.
A fierce team fight broke out between the two sides at the Dragon Pit!
JDG displayed absolutely perfect teamwork!
Tarzan's Lee Sin used a ward-hopping R-flash and a beautiful Dragon Tail kick, sending EDG's AD Ezreal flying back into the crowd!
Ruler's Varus followed up with his ultimate, rooting the enemy and instantly killing him!
"A beautiful roundhouse kick! EDG's AD was instantly killed!"
Then, Sylas entered the fray and stole Maokai's ultimate, splitting EDG's formation.
JDG pulled off a perfect 3-for-1 team fight in a desperate situation, successfully securing the Fire Dragon and disrupting EDG's Dragon Soul rhythm!
The JDG fans in the stadium erupted in deafening cheers!
"They've come back! JDG has come back!" Miller exclaimed excitedly. "I told you this team is incredibly resilient. Even when they were down by 10,000 gold, they managed to find a way to turn the game around!"
Twenty-four minutes.
Despite losing a team fight, EDG still has a huge economic advantage.
Su Mo returned to the city and bought his fourth divine item—Bloodthirster.
Star Eclipse, Greedy Hydra, Dance of Death, Blood Hand.
At this point, Riven not only deals explosive damage but also has extremely high tankiness, making her incredibly forgiving.
"This equipment makes him an invincible war god," PDD said, stroking his chin.
Twenty-four and a half minutes.
The second dragon is about to spawn.
JDG's morale was boosted by their victory in the previous team fight, and they secured vision control of the Baron pit ahead of time.
"Force them to engage! If we win this wave, we can turn the game around!" Knight said confidently in the voice chat.
EDG grouped up and pushed forward, attempting to clear vision.
Twenty-five minutes.
The two sides confronted each other again near the Dalongkeng pit.
This time, Su Mo didn't go solo; instead, he stood at the very front of the team.
He held the broken sword, his eyes coldly fixed on the dark riverbed.
"Get ready to receive guests."
His deep voice came through the audio.
Twenty-five minutes, the dragon pit.
JDG controlled the river vision, Lee Sin moved back and forth in the bushes, and Poppy was at the forefront.
EDG's Maokai threw out his tree to scout the bush, but Poppy smashed it with a single blow.
"They're trying to force a team fight." Mingkai was watching the screen closely backstage. "We can't charge in head-on; we have to wait for them to make a mistake."
Su Mo controlled Riven to stand in the F6 passageway, without showing her face.
"Give them the big tree, force them to move," Su Mo said.
25 minutes and 10 seconds.
The tree opens its "Grip of Nature," and its roots surge toward the river like ocean waves.
JDG's formation was forced to retreat, and Sylas stole Maokai's ultimate to push back, with the two tree roots colliding in the river.
In the chaos, Lee Sin used his Q [Sonic Wave] to hit Braum who was positioned in front, and followed up with his second Q.
Braum raises his shield, and Lee Sin uses his W to ward and return to a safe position.
After the probing ended, the two sides separated.
Twenty-six minutes.
The dragon's health is still at full.
Su Mo glanced at the bottom lane; the minion wave had already been pushed across the river by JDG.
"Xiao Yue, go clear the bottom lane," Su Mo commanded.
Syndra heads to the bottom lane, leaving four heroes on the front line.
JDG astutely pinpointed Syndra's location.
"Mid laner, let's start Baron!" Tarzan decisively gave the order.
26 minutes and 20 seconds.
JDG's five players charged into the dragon pit, and the dragon's health dropped rapidly.
Ah Chen placed a ward near the edge of the dragon pit, but it was knocked away by Milio's Q skill.
"They're fighting very fast, and Da Shu is looking for an opportunity to steal the kill." Su Mo still didn't show himself; he was looking for a way to flank them.
26 minutes and 40 seconds.
The dragon's health has dropped to 3,000!
Su Mo's Riven activated her ultimate ability, "Exile's Edge," from behind the red buff wall.
Without Flash, he used his third Q, Broken Wings, to vault over the wall and land in the Dragon Pit!
"Riven's gone in!" Doll shouted.
The moment she lands, Poppy activates her W ability, "Unwavering Stance."
Su Mo didn't use any movement skills. He auto-attacked the dragon at the edge of the pit while dodging Lee Sin's Q.
The dragon's health has dropped to 1500!
Ah Chen's Great Tree Blinked into the Dragon Pit, and Smite landed!
The Blind Monk uses Smite simultaneously!
System notification: JDG.Tarzan has killed Baron Nashor!
"They got it! JDG has secured Baron Nashor!"
But the moment the dragon was taken down, the dragon pit turned into a meat grinder.
Su Mo's Riven Bloodthirster was triggered, allowing her to withstand Varus's damage output. Her W [Soul Roar] stunned Lee Sin and Poppy.
A lightning-fast QA combo is unleashed, and the Hydra's AOE damage reaches the back row.
Lee Sin was instantly killed, Poppy was left with low health.
Sylas enters the fray, steals Riven's ultimate, and with a swift slash, brings Riven to low health.
Braum used Weakness to save Riven, and Ezreal used his ultimate to sweep across the dragon pit.
Su Mo used Flash to pull out of the dragon pit.
EDG traded one for two, with Maokai dying, and JDG's two carries retreating with the Baron buff.
Twenty-eight minutes.
JDG used the Baron buff to stabilize the situation and pushed down EDG's mid-lane tower.
The economic gap has narrowed to three thousand yuan.
"Stay calm, wait for the Dragon Soul," Scout said in the voice chat.
29th minute.
The fourth dragon (fire dragon) has spawned; this is EDG's dragon soul.
Twenty-nine and a half minutes.
Both sides assembled in the lower reaches of the river.
This time, JDG's formation was very tight, with Poppy and Lee Sin protecting Varus.
Su Mo did not go around to the back; he followed the flank of the team.
"I'll go check the bottom lane minion wave, you guys keep maneuvering," Su Mo said.
Riven went to the bottom lane to push a wave of minions, and then disappeared from sight.
Thirty minutes.
EDG's Maokai initiated the attack, flashing and using his W to bind Poppy.
A team fight breaks out!
Sylas engages Syndra, Syndra flashes away, and Sylas is stunned by QE.
Just then, Su Mo's Riven attacked from the flank!
Use E to close the distance, then Flash and W to stun Varus and Milio!
Light speed QA!
Varus used Flash and Heal, but the damage from Eclipse and Hydra was too high.
Unleash the ultimate move, [Swift Slash]!
Varus is dead!
"The double C has been replaced!"
But Sylas solo-killed Syndra on the other side.
In the ensuing melee, Riven, relying on Death's Dance and Divine Strike to heal, managed to kill Poppy and Lee Sin.
Seeing that things were going badly, Sylas used his E ability to escape over the wall.
EDG achieved a 2-for-4 trade and secured the Fire Dragon Soul!
Thirty-two minutes.
With the Fire Dragon Soul buff, EDG began split pushing down all three lanes.
Su Mo is in the bottom lane, EZ and Braum are in the mid lane, and Maokai and Syndra are in the top lane.
JDG faced pressure from the minion waves and could only frantically try to clear the minions.
The economic gap has widened again to 6,000.
Thirty-four minutes.
The third dragon has spawned.
JDG has to step up and take on the challenge.
"Don't attack the dragon, force them to fight," Su Mo commanded.
EDG cleared the vision in the upper half of the map and ambushed in the river bushes.
JDG's five players grouped up to push forward, with Milio leading the way to scout the bushes.
Thirty-four minutes and twenty seconds.
The big tree threw one of its sons into the bushes, triggering Milio's Flash.
Team battle begins instantly!
Lee Sin used his ward-hop and R-flash combo to try and kick Ezreal back, but was interrupted by Braum's ultimate.
Su Mo's Riven activated her ultimate ability and charged straight into the crowd!
No fancy flanking maneuvers, just a head-on confrontation!
QW enters the fray, Bloodthirster is triggered!
With the adaptive damage bonus from the Fire Dragon Soul, every strike from Riven is fatal. (End of Chapter)
