In RNG's team voiceover, Wei's voice was hoarse due to nervousness: "Ming, I have no vision, I can't see the situation in the dragon pit at all! I can only bet!"
"Don't worry!" Ming stared intently. Looking at the three teammate icons on the mini-map who were pinned to the bottom lane, "Wait! Wait! Wait until their health reaches half, and we'll look for an opportunity!"
And in the bottom lane, this 3v1 siege has turned into a humiliating "dog walk."
"He doesn't open E!" Cryin's voice was full of frustration, "I didn't dare to go up to EQ. He held E, so I went up for nothing!"
GALA also gritted his teeth: "I can't hit him at all! His armor is too high! This weapon is simply a monster!"
Xiaohu’s big tree could only throw its saplings at Jax’s feet over and over again, trying to use this negligible damage to slow down the removal of the defense crystal.
Sumo's Jax didn't even activate his ultimate move.
He was right there, clearing the line of troops unhurriedly, occasionally looking back at the defense crystal, taking away a large chunk of health bar with each attack.
His movement is smart and full of provocation. He can always pull back a small step when the skills of the three RNG players are swinging forward, causing all their non-directional skills to fail.
He is like a cat playing with three mice, enjoying the pleasure of its prey struggling in despair.
"They are stalling for time!" Su Mo said calmly in the team voice, "Fight head-on, don't worry about me, hit the dragon faster, they don't dare to come."
【EDG.Jiejie killed Baron Nash! 】
Purple light pillars soared into the sky, and Baron Nash's wail resounded throughout the canyon!
"Got it!" Miller's voice suddenly rose, "EDG successfully captured the Baron! RNG used three people to restrict Mo, but what they got in the end was a complete defeat on the frontal battlefield! This decision completely pronounced their death sentence!"
Hearing the sound of the Baron being killed, the three RNG players in the bottom lane felt like they were struck by lightning.
“Let’s go!” Xiaohu roared in despair.
However, Su Mo, how could he let them leave so easily?
The moment they turned around, the always "gentle" weapons master finally showed his ferocious fangs!
The Q skill [Leap Slash] is launched, and the target is Yasuo who is closest to him!
E skill [Counterattack Storm] is activated!
W skill [Charged Strike] resets the basic attack!
The light stick in his hand lit up with a deadly light!
"He's going to fight back! He's going to fight three!" The doll has already stood up.
Cryin's Yasuo flashed, but Sumo's Jax also followed up with the flash, knocking him out on the spot!
One stick, two sticks!
The Gale Swordsman, who once caused great trouble for EDG in the mid-term, was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the weapon master who was ahead of two big weapons, and turned into gray in an instant!
GALA's Kai'Sa activated her E skill and tried to pull away, but Su Mo followed up with a quick Q skill and took him away again with two sticks!
【Double Kill!】
Xiaohu's efforts to control the big tree for a long time were of no use, and he was chased to death under the incisor tower by weapons.
【Triple Kill!】
Three kills!
"Crazy! He is completely crazy!" Miller was at a loss for words, "What kind of monster is this?! After holding down three opponents for several minutes, he used a perfect counterattack. Quantity, in front of him, has no meaning!"
...
The game has lost its suspense.
With the Baron Nash buff, the four EDG players stepped onto the high ground of RNG from the middle lane.
And Su Mo's Jax also joined the tower pushing team.
There were two people left on the opposite side. Faced with the pressure of this devastating army line, they could only release two symbolic skills, and then they were melted into the crowd.
In the end, with the clear and loud explosion of RNG's base crystal, this soul-stirring BO3 came to an end with a 2:0 sweep by EDG.
【VICTORY】
The bright red letters of victory were fixed in the center of the screen.
In the EDG battle seat, the team members jumped up excitedly, rushed towards the man who still calmly took off his headphones, lifted him high and threw him into the air!
The entire Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center has completely turned into a black and golden ocean of joy!
"Let us congratulate EDG!" Miller's voice was hoarse but full of passion, "2:0! They ended their regular season journey with a complete victory! A perfect victory! They used two games with very different styles to show us the bottomless tactical reserves and unrivaled personal abilities of this team!"
Wataba sighed: "RNG has played well enough, he Their tactics in the second game were very bold, and they were effective for a time, but they had no choice but to face an unreasonable opponent. When a team has a point like Mo that cannot be restricted by tactics, any exquisite design may be shattered by his purest violence." On the big screen, the MVP of the second game was once again given to the weapon master who played 3 games under the tower.
In the handshake session after the game, the faces of the RNG players were full of disappointment and unwillingness, but more of it was a sign of admiration for the strong.
"Brother Mozi, that weapon of yours... I feel like I'm not playing the same hero." Xiaohu smiled bitterly and shook hands with Su Mo, "I feel like I was in jail the whole game."
"Your lineup is quite thoughtful," Su Mo said with a rare compliment, "I almost let you guys start playing."
This affirmation made Xiaohu's eyes light up, as if all his grievances were relieved at this moment.
Wei had a helpless look on his face: "I swear, I have never been so frustrated playing professionally in my life. I have never seen a complete group of wild monsters in my jungle area."
The handshake was over, and all EDG members came to the center of the stage to bow.
Following that is the MVP interview at the end of the regular season.
When host Yu Shuang handed the microphone to Su Mo, the audience burst into thunderous applause and screams.
"Congratulations to EDG for ending the regular season with a complete victory, and congratulations to player Mo for winning the MVP again." Yu Shuang's smile was still sweet, "In the second game, facing RNG's unconventional global lineup, the team was at a disadvantage. What was the communication within your team at that time? Did you feel nervous? ?"
"There is no communication," Su Mo's answer was still concise, "If they catch it, I will push it up. If they catch it, I will still push it up. When it comes to the back, I will be better equipped than them."
This simple answer made the audience burst into good-natured laughter again.
"So, the regular season has come to a successful end, and EDG has entered the playoffs as the first place." Yu Shuang asked the last question, "What goals do you and your team have for the upcoming, more brutal playoffs?" Su Mo took the microphone, glanced at the smiling teammates beside him, and then at the black and gold sea cheering for them in the audience.
He spoke slowly, his voice was not loud, but it spread clearly throughout the entire venue.
"Goal?"
"We have no goal."
"Because we are here, the championship can only be ours."
The moment the words fell, the entire venue fell silent.
After a brief silence, the scene was completely overwhelmed by the roar of "EDG" like a tsunami.
The interview ended, and when Su Mo walked off the stage and returned to the backstage lounge, he was greeted by his already excited teammates and coaching staff.
"Brother Mozi, your last words made me almost kneel down for you on the spot!" Jiejie rushed up, excited and incoherent, "So handsome! So handsome! This is the momentum our EDG should have! Only you dare to say that, and only you can say that!"
Su Mo was a little helpless by his exaggerated reaction, and just waved his hand: "Okay, let's just play the regular season. Where's the celebration party? I'm hungry."
"Let's go!" Abu smiled and clapped his hands, "The restaurant has been booked a long time ago! Tonight, by the Huangpu River, don't go home until you're drunk!"
While the EDG team went to the celebration banquet, the final rankings and playoffs map of the 2021 LPL summer regular season were also officially released.
· With a terrifying record of 16 wins, EDG undisputedly secured the first place in the regular season and entered the upper bracket semi-finals of the playoffs, enjoying a precious offseason of nearly two weeks.
Following closely behind is FPX, which also showed strong dominance. They ranked second with a record of 13 wins and 3 losses, and also qualified for the semi-finals.
The teams such as RNG, TES, LNG, WE, RA, BLG, and G will be ranked three to ten. Starting from the first or second round of the playoffs, they will engage in a brutal single-elimination or double-elimination elimination match to compete for the only two opportunities to challenge for the throne.
The pattern of the entire summer split shows the situation of "one super, many strong".
EDG is like an insurmountable snow-capped mountain, standing at the top, while strong teams such as FPX, RNG, and TES are fighting fiercely on the mountainside, all eager to qualify for a decisive battle with the "Gods".
On the Internet, there are overwhelming predictions and discussions about the playoffs, but almost all the mainstream opinions are surprisingly consistent - the suspense of the championship seems to only lie in how EDG wants to win the cup.
…
The Huangpu River is full of light at night.
EDG's celebration banquet was held in a private viewing room of a top restaurant on the Bund. The huge floor-to-ceiling window showed the most dazzling night view of the Magic City.
The team members changed out of their team uniforms and wore casual clothes, sitting together in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was relaxed and warm.
"Come on! First drink!" As the manager, Abramovich stood up and raised his glass, "To ourselves! To this perfect regular season! Everyone has worked hard!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and the yellow wine in the glass shone charmingly under the crystal lamp.
At this moment, the door of the private room was gently pushed open, and two beautiful figures walked in.
It was Rita and Luo Xin who came from the venue in advance.
The two of them were obviously dressed up carefully. Rita wore a simple black dress, elegant and intellectual; Luo Xin wore a playful white short skirt, youthful and lively. Their appearance instantly added a touch of bright color to the private room that was originally full of masculinity.
"Yo! Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" Jiejie had sharp eyes and was the first to shout, "Brother Mozi's exclusive support team is here!"
Su Mo was lowering his head to deal with a piece of steak. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at the two girls who were smiling sweetly, with a smile on his lips.
This is what Abu had asked Chen Lie to notify them to come and have dinner together.
After all this time, everyone is familiar with it.
Rita and Luo Xin greeted everyone generously and sat down next to Su Mo naturally.
I don’t shy away from anything either.
"Here, the freshly squeezed juice you ordered earlier will quench your thirst." Rita pushed a half-drunk glass of orange juice in front of Su Mo.
"Brother Mozi, this lobster is very fresh. I'll peel it for you." Luo Xin put on disposable gloves and began to work hard.
This natural intimacy made Jiejie, Meiko and others at the same table stunned and envious.
"Ahem," Meiko pushed up her glasses and said loudly, "Brother Mozi, isn't your treatment a bit too much? We singles can't stand this! Can we ask Sister Tazi and Sister Tuozi to introduce us to someone!"
"That's right!" Jiejie immediately agreed, "I want it too, I want it too!"
Facing the teasing from his teammates, Su Mo remained calm and enjoyed the service of the two beauties with peace of mind. He just replied lightly: "You can find a partner yourself!"
In one sentence, Jiejie and Meiko were choked and speechless for a long time. They could only turn their grief and anger into appetite and stuff their mouths crazily.
The director of the factory looked at this group of living treasures and couldn't laugh or cry.
He raised his glass: "Brother Mo Zi, you played well today. Especially the last part of the interview, it was so exciting! Come on, let me toast you."
"Go for it!" Su Mo also raised his orange juice, because he had to drive at that time.
The atmosphere of the dinner gradually reached a climax with delicious food, fine wine and relaxed chat.
Everyone chatted about interesting things in the regular season, looked forward to the opponents in the playoffs, and occasionally gossiped about various news in the circle.
Su Mo's side is always the focus of the audience.
Rita and Luo Xin were like two competent little secretaries, taking good care of him.
"Brother Mozi, try this, tuna."
"Brother Mozi, give me your mobile phone, I will help you download the highlights of the game just now."
Their thoughtfulness, combined with Su Mo's lazy and casual temperament, formed a wonderful and harmonious picture that made others itchy to watch.
The celebration party lasted until late at night.
· Most of the team members were tipsy and returned to the base one after another in special cars arranged by the club.
Su Mo, on the other hand, drove his business car, carrying Rita and Luo Xin, and merged into the late-night traffic in the Magic City.
The atmosphere in the car was much quieter than at the dinner.
Soft music was flowing in the carriage, and the neon lights outside the window flashed past, casting mottled light and shadow on the faces of the three people.
"Thank you for today." Su Mo suddenly spoke while driving the car.
"Thank us for what?" Rita tilted her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling in the night.
"Nothing." Su Mo smiled.
Luo Xin leaned over from the back seat and put his hands on the back of Su Mo's seat. His tone was full of admiration: "Brother Mo Zi, you are so handsome today! Especially the last interview was so domineering! Now many girls on the Internet say they want to give birth to monkeys for you.子呢！」
「是吗？」苏墨挑了挑眉，「那她们得排队了。」
「切，臭美。」Rita白了他一眼，嘴角却忍不住上扬。
She looked at Su Mo's side face, which was focused on driving, and asked softly: "You have almost two weeks of rest, what are your plans?"
"No plans," Su Mo's answer was as always, "Go back to the base, sleep, play games, and wait for the semifinals?" (End of this chapter)
