Amidst the roaring and tsunami-like cheers, Su Mo and his teammates stood in the center of the stage, bowed to the audience, and then walked to the red square battle seat belonging to EDG.
The moment he sat on the familiar gaming chair and put on the sound-isolating headphones, all the noise from the outside world was cut off. All that was left in the world was his clear heartbeat and the relaxed communication with his teammates on the team's voice channel.
"Brothers, in the first game of the new season, play hard and strive for a good start." Meiko, as the captain, is doing routine pre-game mobilization.
"Viper, don't be nervous," Jiejie smiled and said to the new AD next to him, "Brother will take you flying today."
Viper just nodded quietly, but his sharp eyes were burning with a fiery fighting spirit.
Coming to LPL, joining the championship team, and working with legends, he is eager to prove himself with a perfect victory.
Of course, now that Mo is on the court, he feels that there is no suspense in this round.
On the other side, at the LNG battle seat on the blue side, the atmosphere was as solemn as water.
The coach gave the final instructions behind them: "Remember our tactics! Don't fight them at level one, hold on tight! Tarzan, take care of the top lane in the early stage, and you must not let Mo get the advantage. Once he snowballs, we will lose it!"
LNG's top laner M1kuya is clasping his hands at this moment, with fine beads of sweat on his palms.
He looked at the ID—— opposite, feeling like he was looking up at an unreachable mountain.
"Don't be nervous, just follow our training." The big brother in the team, mid laner Icon, patted his shoulder and tried to make him relax, "Don't treat him as a god, just treat him as an ordinary opponent."
Having said this, Icon's own eyes were also full of fear.
As for the jungler Tarzan, who is the core of the team, he is staring at the screen, crazily simulating the next game in his mind.
He knows that the key to this game lies in the game between the upper and jungle players.
What he has to face is not only EDG's champion jungler Jiejie, but also Mo, who may disappear online at any time and likes to get into other people's jungle areas at every turn.
As the players from both sides are ready, the game has officially entered the BP stage!
“Okay, audience friends! The much-anticipated opening game of the S11 Spring Split, BP has officially begun!” Miller’s voice was loud and passionate in the commentary box.
Hawa followed closely: "Let's take a look at the game between the coaches of both sides! LNG on the blue side, how will they target EDG, especially how will they target Brother Mo Zi?!"
Sure enough, LNG's top three ban positions gave Su Mo the respect.
"Sword Demon! Sword Girl! Silas!" Miller looked at the ban on the screen and said loudly, "LNG directly eliminated three heroes who are relatively strong in the top lane! This intention is too obvious, it is to prevent you from getting the best carry top laner!"
On EDG's side, coach Abramovich and the factory director seemed calm and leisurely.
They banned the strong jungle heroes Olaf and Pantheon, as well as the mid-to-upper swing Lylia, in order to limit Tarzan's hero pool.
The ban ends and the selection process begins.
On the first floor of LNG, they decisively locked in the T1-level ADC Kai'Sa for their own ADC player Light.
·EDG, at Viper's own request, took down the equally powerful ADC Samira, and Meiko's signature hero Riel, forming a very offensive bottom lane combination.
LNG immediately locked up jungler Udyr and auxiliary Niutou.
This is the rhythmic jungler that Tarzan is very good at, cooperating with the strong opening of the bull head, aiming to find opportunities in the mid-term.
It was EDG's turn to select players on the fourth floor. Scout did not hesitate to lock Clockwork Demon, a versatile teamfight core.
Now, the pressure is on LNG, they need to choose their mid-to-upper heroes first.
After a short discussion, LNG locked up mid laner Victor on the fifth floor. Then, their top laner M1kuya, under the instruction of the coach, chose a relatively stable hero-Crocodile.
"Crocodile!" Wawa analyzed, "LNG's choice is very smart! Crocodile has strong laning ability and is not easy to be killed alone. Even if it cannot be beaten, it can withstand pressure."
Now, the eyes of the whole audience are focused on EDG's last choice.
On the screen, the selection box representing Su Mo began to flash.
Faced with a crocodile determined to resist pressure, what hero would he choose to deal with it? Should he also choose a development-type hero to develop peacefully, or...
Just when everyone thought he would choose a long-hand or late-stage big core to deal with it, Su Mo's fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, and then, a hero that surprised the entire audience was instantly locked!
"That must be me!"
The domineering and wild voice echoed throughout the audience.
Handman, Seti!
"Warrior?!" Miller and Wawa looked at each other in the commentary box, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. "Brother Mozi's last choice turned out to be Wrist! This hero, in the current version, has a very low appearance rate in both games and rankings! He has not appeared on the field for a long time!"
At the same time, the LPL official live broadcast room also exploded in an instant.
「？？？我没看错吧？腕豪上单？」
「这英雄也太笨重了吧，打鳄鱼虽然好打，但团战能有什么用啊？」
"It's over, it's over, Brother Mozi has started to reorganize his life. This one won't be lost, right?"
"The hero Wan Hao is really strong online, but in this version, it is too easy to be kited, and it feels not as good as Qinggang Shadow or Kennen."
"Don't be embarrassed, what do you know? This is called heroic self-confidence! Whichever hero God chooses, that hero is the version answer!"
"I can only say that Mo Shen tried his best. I don't blame him for losing this game. It's a problem with the hero."
Online public opinion was instantly polarized, with optimistic and pessimistic voices clamoring.
As for the LNG battle table, when they saw Wanhao’s choice, they were collectively stunned.
"A hero?" M1kuya asked the coach with some uncertainty, "This hero... we don't seem to have encountered him often in training matches."
The coach also frowned and muttered: "Maybe he wants to exert absolute suppression in the lane. M1kuya, be careful and don't fight him head-on. Wait for Tarzan to come."
Despite what they said, the entire LNG team breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
At least, not the sword girl or sword demon who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and take the enemy general's head from the crowd of thousands of troops.
Humhao, the hero, seems... not that scary.
Amidst all the discussions, the lineups of both sides were finally determined.
Blue side LNG: top laner Crocodile, jungler Udyr, mid laner Victor, ADC Kai'Sa, and auxiliary Niutou.
Red side EDG: top laner Wan Hao, jungler Lilia, mid laner Clockwork, ADC Samira, and assistant Riel.
"Okay, both players have finished debugging, and their talents and summoner skills have been determined!" Miller's voice brought the audience's attention back to the arena. "We can see that Brother Mozi's main talent is [Conqueror], which brings flash and ignition! It is worth mentioning that LNG's Crocodile also brings ignition and flash. It seems that M1kuya does not want to be timid in his play style, he wants to kill online!"
· Miller nodded: "Yes, no one would be surprised if he can't beat Brother Mo Zi, but if he kills Brother Mo Zi alone, it is something worthy of praise, so there is no problem in hitting the killing point."
· As the countdown ended, ten players officially entered the Summoner's Rift!
「Welcome to Summoner’s Rift!」
The familiar system prompt sounded, announcing that the opening match has officially started!
"Okay, the game has officially begun! Both sides did not choose the first-level team invasion, but the regular position defense." Wawa's speech was slow and unhurried, "Let's look at the top lane. The top laners of both sides chose Dolan Sword and a bottle of red medicine as their starting equipment. It seems that they are thinking of fighting for blood!"
Su Mo controlled the wrist hero and did not rush forward, but followed the soldier.
M1kuya's crocodile also shows its sophisticated experience.
He knew that Wanhao was very strong at level 1, but he brought Ignite and did not want to completely give up lane rights. He controlled the crocodile and also stepped forward, trying to form a confrontation with Wan Hao, refusing to give in to each other.
"There is a strong smell of gunpowder on the top road!" Miller was keenly aware of the tense atmosphere on the line. "Both sides are competing for control of the line. Whoever can get to the second level first will take the initiative in the first wave!"
Su Mo looked at the crocodile in front of him, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
He knows that Crocodile learns Q at level 1 and has a good blood exchange ability, but he knows better that the combination of Wanhao's passive [Battleground Pride] and Q skill is more advantageous in continuous blood exchange.
Sure enough, when the first melee soldier lost his health, M1kuya couldn't help it anymore. He took a step forward and unleashed a Q skill, hoping to consume his strength while doing last-ditch damage.
The moment the crocodile raised his hand, Su Mo moved!
Step forward, punch A with the right fist with the second passive effect! While the damage from Crocodile's Q skill fell, Su Mo's Q skill [Conquering Power] was also pressed instantly to reset the basic attack!
A-Q-AA!
A set of smooth combos, executed in a very short time!
The powerful conquerors appeared one after another instantly, causing astonishing damage.
Although M1kuya's crocodile has also reached the top level of QA, its health bar decreases significantly faster!
M1kuya was shocked. He did not expect that the opponent's desire to attack was so strong and decisive.
He quickly retreated, took the blood medicine, and frowned slightly when he saw that his health had dropped to two-thirds.
With only one blood exchange, the advantages and disadvantages of the line are already clear.
Happily, the crocodile can rely on the lane behind it. As long as you pay attention to the blood exchange later, at least you don't have to worry about being killed alone.
Su Mo did not continue to pursue, but began to consciously control the military line.
He only used the tail knife to make up for it, allowing the army line to slowly push back towards him. At the same time, he used positioning to press, making M1kuya cautious even with experience.
The first wave of minions was cleared quickly.
At this time, the second wave of troops also arrived on the road.
Su Mo knew that the opportunity had come.
He calculated his experience accurately, and when the second melee soldier in front of him was about to fall, he began to press forward.
M1kuya’s nerves were instantly tense!
He knew that the opponent was about to grab second place, so he subconsciously wanted to move back and distance himself.
But, it’s too late!
At the moment when the melee soldiers turned into gold coins, Su Mo's wrist hero flashed with golden light and was promoted to level two in an instant!
There is no hesitation, no hesitation!
At the moment of upgrading, Su Mo directly pressed Flash!
Hush!
Golden light flashed, and Wanhao's figure instantly crossed a distance and appeared on the face of the crocodile who was about to retreat!
Then start directly with A.
M1kuya is a little confused.
Level 2 flashes over to kill someone! Is this wealthy man crazy? !
After suffering two flat A's and seeing that he had half health remaining, M1kuya hesitated and did not cross-dodge, but turned back to gain experience from a small soldier.
He thought about using minions to advance to the second level and use his E skill to run away. This would save him a flash. When his own jungler came over, he would be able to kill this powerful warrior by cooperating with the jungler.
As a minion of the opponent fell, the crocodile did reach the second level.
But when he reached the second level, he was hit twice by Wan Hao, and his health volume was already only one-third.
M1kuya adds the E skill in a second, and then presses it immediately. He wants to use E to pass through Wanhao's body, and then run away directly with the second stage of E.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as his E skill came out, Zhanhao interrupted his E with a direct E, and he also fell into a brief state of freeze.
The next moment, Wan Hao pressed the Q skill and punched AA twice. The crocodile suddenly only had more than 80 health left.
M1kuya's face turned green, and he hurriedly flashed and ran away, but as soon as he flashed, he found a cluster of flames on his head.
The ignition of a wealthy man.
Four seconds later, M1kuya watched helplessly as his crocodile fell under the tower.
Hmm, he was set on fire and burned to death.
「First Blood!」
The first blood prompt sounded throughout Summoner's Rift.
LNG’s team voice was filled with dead silence.
· Tarzan looked at the bad news coming from the road, his mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
He originally planned to hit the road and counter-crouch after getting the red buff, but the opponent's attack was so fast that he had no time to react.
Furthermore, how can M1kuya be so damn good at cross-dodging that he can still die? How can he be a man-machine! !
Although he wanted to curse, after all, this was a competition, Tarzan could only choose to comfort:
"No...it's okay, M1kuya, hold on, wait for me."
And EDG's voice channel was full of relaxed praise.
“Brother Mozi is handsome! In just two minutes, he killed the opponent!” Jiejie shouted excitedly.
Although Viper did not speak, his eyes were full of awe when he looked at the portrait on the mini-map that represented a wealthy man.
Is this the strength of God?
At the same time, the development of other roads is also proceeding smoothly.
In the middle lane, Scout's Clockwork and Icon's Victor developed peacefully. Both sides were testing each other, and no one took advantage.
In the bottom lane, Viper's Samira and Meiko's Riel, with their stronger laning combination, slightly suppressed Light's Kai'Sa, gaining a slight lead in CS.
But everyone knows that the rhythm of this game has been completely changed by the wave of second-level single kills on the top road.
After completing the single kill, Su Mo's wrist hero still had half a tube of health left, and most of them were hit by small soldiers.
He did not go home immediately, but slowly pushed a large wave of troops under the LNG defense tower before choosing to return to the city for supplies.
After all, the other side didn't teleport, so he didn't panic.
M1kuya's crocodile will lose the experience and economy of two waves of soldiers because of this death.
The snowball on the road has already started rolling.
At least that's what Su Mo thinks. Next, all he needs to do is ask the jungler to come to the opposite side for military training!
