"We won! We won!" Jiejie was the first to jump up from his seat in the EDG players' seat, hugged Su Mo, and was so excited that he could not speak incoherently.
"Brother Mo Zi is awesome!!!" Viper also rushed directly behind Su Mo, gave him a bear hug with all his strength, and shouted in Chinese that he was not very proficient in.
eiko also gathered around, and the five of them hugged each other tightly in the center of the stage.
The spotlight shined from above the venue, coating them with a layer of golden light, and in the background was the huge word "VICTORY" that had not yet dissipated.
On the other side, the JDG players were still sitting on their chairs blankly, with the expressions on everyone's faces frozen.
Looking at his gray screen on Zoom, the scene where the light returning to the city was interrupted at the last moment seemed to be still before him.
Kanavi took off his headphones and rubbed his face vigorously, his eyes full of unwillingness and confusion. They won almost every head-to-head battle and lost the entire game.
This feeling is even more unacceptable than being swept 3:0.
In the commentary box, Miller and Baby were completely out of control.
“Going down in history! This is definitely one of the most classic stolen scenes in the history of LPL!” Miller’s voice was already hoarse. “What have we witnessed? We have witnessed the birth of a master of decision-making! From the beginning of the non-TP in the Long Pit team battle, Su Mo has already laid out a magnificent picture for us. He is not a chess player, he is the chessboard itself! Every move of JDG is within his calculation!”
"My hands are still shaking," Wawa also began to brag, "I have been commentating on games for so many years, and I have rarely seen such a pure and extreme four-to-one score. Brother Mozi showed us that League of Legends not only has fighting and killing, but also the art of line management, and the philosophy of involvement! His Fiona is not a 'Paramount Swordswoman' today, she is a 'Line Master'! She is a 'Defense Tower Destroyer'!"
The barrages on site and in the live broadcast room have long been overwhelmed by "Mozige YYDS" and "66666".
"This game can still be played like this??? I'm stupid!"
Su Mo: What team battle? I only have defense towers in my eyes"
"JDG members' psychological activities: I have such a huge advantage, why did I lose?"
"From today on, I declare that Su Mo is the best in the world!"
"Textbook-level involvement and decision-making, heart disease is almost visible!"
After a short celebration, the EDG players gathered their emotions, walked to the center of the stage, and bowed deeply to the audience from all directions.
The tsunami-like shouts of "EDG" and "Brother Mozi" are the best compliments for their shocking comeback.
Following the procedure, they lined up to JDG's player bench and shook hands after the game.
Zoom stood up and shook hands with Su Mo. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. His eyes were complicated, showing both the frustration of being defeated and a hint of admiration for the strong.
Su Mo gave him a friendly smile and didn't say anything more, but everything was left unsaid.
Back in the lounge, coaches Abu and Mingkai were already waiting at the door, with uncontrollable smiles on everyone's faces.
"Well done! What a great play!" Abu hugged the players one by one excitedly, "Especially Brother Mozi, the last two decisions were a stroke of genius!"
Ming Kai was as strict as ever, but he also had a smile on his face: "It was a bit risky when I stole the house in the end, but the result was good. Go back and review the game carefully and prepare for the next finals. Everyone is a hero today, and I will treat you tonight!"
Amidst the commotion, the staff walked in and said to Su Mo with a smile: "Brother Mo Zi, please prepare yourself, the post-match interview will be here soon."
Su Mo nodded, adjusted his uniform, and walked back onto the stage amidst the teasing sounds of "come on" and "blow a few more words for us" from his teammates.
On the other side of the stage, today’s interview host is already in place.
It was a girl wearing a white dress, with eyes as sweet as crescent moons when she smiled - Luo Xin.
Old acquaintance.
Seeing Su Mo walking over, the smile on Luo Xin's face became even brighter: "Okay, let us give the warmest applause to welcome the player who won the MVP today, the top laner from EDG - Mo!"
There was another round of thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.
"Hello, Mo, let's say hello to the audience first." Luo Xin handed over the microphone.
"Hello everyone, I am Mo, EDG's substitute top laner. It is an honor to accept the post-game interview on behalf of EDG." Su Mo's voice was as calm and indifferent as ever.
"First of all, congratulations to EDG for winning this very, very critical BO5!" Luo Xin's tone also contained a hint of excitement. "To be honest, my heart is still pounding. Especially in the last wave, I want to ask for all the viewers. At that time, you were solo on the top lane and saw your teammates defeated in front of the Dragon Pit. Scout was even killed instantly. Didn't you panic at all? Did you ever think for a moment, 'It's over, I'm going to lose.' ? "
Su Mo thought about it seriously, then showed a slight smile, and replied: "I was definitely a little panicked, but given the situation at the time, I didn't have time to think too much. My mission was clear from the beginning, which was to knock down the tower. My teammates used their lives to create time for me, and all I could do was to knock down their base as quickly as possible to live up to their sacrifice."
He paused and added: "Moreover, I believe in my teammates. Even if I am not around, they can still operate. Facts have proved that they did it, and they succeeded in delaying me for enough time."
These words, humble and watertight, instantly won the applause of the whole house.
Luo Xin nodded with a smile and continued to ask the question that everyone was curious about: "Let's move forward a little further, and it's the Dragon Pit group that decided the direction of the battle. At that time, everyone thought you should TP to come down and fight the group, but you chose to continue to lead the lane in the bottom lane. This is a very bold, even gambling-like decision. Can you share with us your thoughts at the time? Did you really think that JDG couldn't handle your single lane?"
"Well..." Su Mo scratched his head, his expression a bit upright, "Actually, the main reason is that my TP position is not very good. I took a look at the time and saw that their formation was very deep. When I went down, I would be controlled by Xiong and Ruier until I died. It might be gone in a few tenths of a second, and it was no different from a super soldier."
He explained seriously: "So I thought. , instead of being dragged down, it would be better to be a "demolition team" in the bottom lane, which at least poses a greater threat to the defense tower. As for... I can't say it, the main thing is to trust my teammates. I said you held it back, and they really held it back. So the credit goes to everyone, I was just the person in the A tower. "
This truth caused a burst of laughter from the audience.
·Obviously it was a god-level decision, but when it came out of his mouth, it became so unpretentious and even a little funny.
“Hahaha, that’s it. You, the ‘demolition captain’, have made a great contribution today.” Luo Xin was also amused, and the atmosphere at the scene became extremely relaxed. She blinked, changed to a more familiar tone, and joked: "Then after winning such a crucial game, will there be any celebrations after returning?" Su Mo immediately showed a troubled expression and sighed seriously: "Of course. I will definitely treat everyone to a nice meal then, but..." He changed the subject and looked at Luo Xin, with a sly smile in his eyes: "But my money is a little tight recently. Look... Sister Xin, can you sponsor me first? I'll pay you back next time I get paid."
"Huh?" Luo Xin obviously didn't expect such a move. He was stunned for a moment, then realized and laughed angrily at his sudden "borrowing money" operation.
"You are already a big boss, but you are still crying about poverty in front of us!" She feigned anger and hit Su Mo with a prompt card.
The audience in the audience once again burst into good-natured laughter and cheers when they saw this interesting scene.
"Okay, no more joking." Luo Xin collected his emotions and brought the topic back on track, "So at the end of the interview, is there anything you want to say to the fans who have always supported you?"
The smile on Su Mo's face softened a little, and his expression became serious.
He faced the camera and bowed slightly.
"Thank you very much for your continued support and encouragement. No matter whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, we can hear your cheers, which is the biggest motivation for us. We will go all out in the next games, hoping to bring you more exciting games. Thank you all."
· The interview ended, and Su Mo walked off the stage amidst the applause of the audience.
What greeted him was the ridicule from his teammates.
"Okay, Brother Mozi, have you learned how to tease the host on stage?"
"What do you mean by "tight money"? Aren't you the highest paid!"
"Don't run! You've ordered this meal today!"
The laughter of the teenagers echoed in the corridor of the venue, melting into the joy of victory and the bright lights.
On the other hand, Viper shouted with his unique accent: "Yes! Brother Mo is treating me! I want to eat Korean beef!"
Hong Kong beef is too expensive, let's eat hot pot, hot pot is good." Scout is still the pragmatic money-saving expert.
Su Mo was surrounded by several people, dumbfounded: "Don't make trouble, stop making trouble, the factory director just said, he's treating me! I'm strategically crying for poverty, do you understand? Give our factory brother a chance to show off."
"You kid..." Ming Kai's voice came from not far away. Come on, he had a helpless smile on his face, "It's all the same nonsense. Okay, hurry up and pack your things. Abu has booked a place for dinner. If you go late, you won't get a seat."
As soon as they heard the word "eat", the team members' attention was immediately diverted, and the lounge was suddenly filled with laughter.
Everyone quickly packed up their peripherals and followed the coaching staff out of the venue.
· EDG’s celebration banquet was held at a Sichuan-style hotpot restaurant famous for its spicy and delicious flavor.
The bottom of the boiling red oil pan was steaming gurglingly, reflecting everyone's excited faces.
"Come on, you're welcome, everyone is a hero today, feel free to order whatever you want!" Abu waved his hand and handed the menu to the team members.
"For today's first drink, I have to give a toast to Brother Mozi." Abu picked up the drink with emotion on his face, "To be honest, the last wave even made me, a coach, scared when I saw it backstage. Your decision of "no TP" is really bold for a skilled person. Not only did you win the game, but you also taught a lesson to all the top laners in the LPL. I respect you!"
Su Mo quickly stood up and picked up his Coke: "You are too serious, Bu Guo, this is the result of everyone's hard work. Without the sacrifices of Meiko and Jiejie, without the support of the brothers, I would not be able to win the A tower until dawn. This cup should be dedicated to our EDG team!"
"Well said!" Mingkai led the applause, "Team! This is the key to our victory! Come on, let's go together!"
"Cheers!"
The crisp clinking of glasses was mixed with the unrestrained laughter of the teenagers.
The tension and pressure during the game were turned into hot food and free words at this moment.
Having a hearty hot pot meal, the group of people walked out of the restaurant satisfied until late at night. The evening breeze brought a hint of coolness, blowing away the heat from the body, and everyone felt extremely comfortable.
"The car is over there, everyone, follow it." Abu greeted from the front.
Su Mo was walking at the end of the team and was about to follow him when a familiar and somewhat playful female voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey, isn't this the poorest top player in the history of our LPL? What a coincidence."
Su Mo was stunned, and turned around to see Luo Xin standing under a streetlight not far away, looking at him with a smile.
She changed out of a dress and wore a simple T-shirt and jeans, a little less dignified on stage and a little more playful like a girl next door.
There were two female staff members of LPL standing next to her, and it looked like they had just finished a work dinner.
"Such a coincidence." Su Mo smiled, and his teammates also noticed this and cast gossiping glances. However, they wisely did not stop and surrounded the coach to get into the nanny car first, leaving Su Mo with a "hurry up" look.
"It's quite a coincidence," Luo Xin clasped his hands behind his back and walked up to him, tilting his head and looking at him, "Isn't this meal going to bankrupt you? Do you want me to sponsor our championship."
"That's not true, because our coach is very generous and bought the order first." Su Mo spread his hands, "Your sponsorship opportunity can only be left to next time."
“That’s what you said. Remember to come to me next time, otherwise I will bring you the food.” Luo Xin said jokingly.
Have a good rest and prepare for the next game."
"Okay," Su Mo nodded, "You too, go back and rest early. Be careful on the road."
"Well, bye."
"Bye."
Su Mo turned around and walked towards the car. After taking two steps, he seemed to remember something. He turned around and shouted to Luo Xin, who was still standing there: "By the way, don't regret sponsoring my meal!" The moment the car door closed, the night and lights outside were cut off.
In the car, Jiejie immediately came over: "Brother Mo Zi, am I going to have another sister-in-law?"
"Go aside!" Su Mo rolled his eyes at him angrily. (End of chapter)
