Chapter 1007 Touched
Uzi also excitedly hugged Xu Mo's neck: "Mozi is awesome! This Syndra, I'm itching to play with her!"
Xiaohu and Ming also praised it.
Xu Mo smiled and said, "Everyone cooperated well. In the next round, they will definitely target my mid lane, so we must be prepared."
Although he was smiling, he was reviewing the game in his mind. The first game went smoothly, on the one hand because the team was in good shape, and on the other hand because TG did not expect him to play so aggressively. In the next game, the opponent's BP strategy and possible interference from outside the field will be new tests.
The "staff member" who tried to attack him at the entrance had been taken away by security, but Xu Mo knew that this was just a pawn thrown out by the other party. The real mastermind was still lurking in the dark.
He must remain highly vigilant, not only to win the game, but also to ensure the safety of himself, his teammates, and... Xiran.
After a short break, both players returned to the stage to prepare for the second round.
The lights in the gymnasium focused again, and the BP interface slowly unfolded on the huge electronic screen. This time, TG had the right to choose the blue side first. A more intense game was about to begin. Xu Mo could feel that there was a hint of solemnity and... fear in the opponent's eyes.
The atmosphere during the B/P phase of the second game was more tense than that of the first game. TG was on the blue side and had the right to ban and select first. Their coach had a serious expression, and it was obvious that he had reflected deeply on the loss of the first game.
"Okay, welcome back to the second game of the LPL Summer Finals! In the first game, RNG took the lead with thunderous momentum. Now it is TG's turn to conduct BP on the blue side. What adjustments will they make?" Wawa's voice was still passionate.
Miller pushed his glasses and said, "TG is under a lot of pressure now. They must target Xu Mo in the BP, otherwise it will be difficult to limit RNG's offensive rhythm."
Sure enough, TG's first three bans were given without hesitation to Syndra, who had played brilliantly in the previous game against Xu Mo, as well as the extremely threatening LeBlanc in his hero pool and the extremely supportive Twisted Fate.
"All three ban positions were given to Mo Shen!" Wawa exclaimed, "This treatment is unique in LPL! TG is determined to limit Mo Shen's performance in the mid lane!"
Xi Ran frowned slightly and said softly, "This is indeed a big test for Mo Shen. But I believe in him. His hero pool is bottomless."
RNG's ban position is relatively conventional. They banned Viktor, who is strong in this version and is good at TG mid laner Shadow, as well as the offensive jungler Olaf, and Lucian, a bottom lane swing hero who has performed well recently.
On the first floor of TG, the Prince of Demacia, Jarvan IV, was locked in within seconds!
"Prince!" Miller's eyes lit up. "Forest got Prince, a hero with strong early ganking ability and stable teamfighting skills. It seems that TG will take the initiative in the second game and find the rhythm in the early and mid-game!"
RNG's first and second moves locked down Aphelios and the Deep Sea Titan - Nautilus for Uzi and Ming.
“It’s Aphelios and Titan again!” Wawa said. “Uzi’s proficiency with this hero is unquestionable. With Titan’s strong start, the bottom lane is still strong.”
On the second and third floors of TG, they took down the mid-lane Clockwork Mage - Orianna, and the ADC Bounty Hunter - Miss Fortune.
"Clockwork!" Xiran analyzed, "Shadow got Clockwork, which is a very stable choice. He is not weak in laning and plays a huge role in team battles in the later stages. With the entry of Prince, Clockwork's ultimate can have a devastating effect. The bottom lane is Bounty Hunter and Prince, and the burst in the early and mid-term is very high."
It was RNG's turn to make the third pick. After a brief thought, Karsa locked on the Ruined King - Viego!
"Viagra! Karsa got Viego!" Miller's eyes lit up. "This hero has extremely strong single-player and harvesting abilities in the jungle. Once he picks up a soul, he can create unlimited possibilities in team battles! RNG's lineup is also beginning to lean towards team battles."
Enter the second round of banning.
TG's coach had a sharp eye and targeted Xu Mo again, banning the assassin-type mid laner Akali and Galio, who also had strong support and team-fighting capabilities.
"Five bans targeted the mid laner!" Wawa was shocked. "TG banned every hero they could think of that Xu Mo might use to control the tempo! They wanted to force Xu Mo to use a development-oriented mid laner, and then suppress RNG through the early game rhythm of the Prince."
RNG banned Kennen to prevent TG from picking the top laner from the previous game, and also banned Gangplank to limit TG's output points in the later stage.
On the fourth floor of TG, top laner Mountain locked down the Desert Butcher - Renekton.
"Crocodile!" Miller said in a deep voice, "Crocodile and Prince, the offensive power of top, mid and jungle is very strong! TG's lineup is designed to suppress the opponent in the early and mid-term!"
On the fourth floor of RNG, Xiaohu still chose Gary to deal with the laning pressure from Crocodile, and Gary also played a greater role in team battles.
Under everyone's attention, it is Xu Mo's turn to Counter Pick on the fifth floor!
Everyone's eyes are focused on Xu Mo's avatar. What hero will he choose to break TG's layers of restrictions?
"What will Mo Shen choose? Airplane? Tsar? Or a hero we don't expect?" Wawa was full of anticipation.
On the big screen, Xu Mo’s avatar flashed a few times and finally locked onto - Rune Mage, Ryze!
"Ryze!" The whole audience exclaimed!
Miller was also a little surprised: "Ryze! This is a very bold, but also very confident choice! Ryze is not a T1-level mid laner in the current version, but once he develops, his late-stage carry ability is unquestionable, and his ultimate skill 'Zodiac Warp' has a strong strategic significance! Is Xu Mo going to fight TG in the late game?"
Xiran's eyes gleamed with brilliance: "Although Ryze is not strong in the early laning phase, especially against heroes with long arms like Clockwork, he is fast at clearing lanes and has strong support capabilities, especially the strategic shift of his ultimate, which fits RNG's style very well. Mo Shen must have his considerations for choosing Ryze."
In TG’s last move, they added the Dawn Goddess - Leona in the support position.
"Dawn Goddess!" Wawa shouted, "MF plus Leona, the bottom lane has great suppression power, and with the help of Prince's gank, RNG's bottom lane will be under great pressure!"
The final lineup is confirmed:
TG (blue side): top laner Renekton (Mountain), jungler Prince (Forest), mid laner Clockwork (Shadow), ADC Bounty Hunter (River), support Dawn (Lake).
RNG (red side): top laner Gnar (Xiaohu), jungler Viego (Karsa), mid laner Ryze (Xu Mo), ADC Aphelios (Uzi), support Titan (Ming).
"Okay, the lineups for both teams are confirmed! The second game officially begins!"
In this game, TG's tactical intention was very clear, which was to take advantage of the strength of Prince, Crocodile, and Dawn in the early stage, to gain advantages in the middle, top, jungle, and bottom lanes, and not to give RNG the opportunity to drag the game to the late stage, especially to suppress the development of Xu Moritz.
The game begins and both sides start normally.
Xu Mo chose Blue Crystal and Reusable Potion as his starting equipment for Ryze. He knew very well that he was not at an advantage against Clockwork in the early game, and that the Prince would likely visit the middle lane frequently.
Sure enough, after Forest's Prince finished the double buff, he came to the middle lane at about 3 and a half minutes. He used an EQ combo from the flank, trying to provoke Ryze who was farming.
But Xu Mo was extremely vigilant. He used Flash almost the moment the prince made a move and narrowly avoided the prince's control!
"What a quick reaction!" Wawa exclaimed. "Mo Shen's reaction speed is amazing! If the Prince had picked up this wave, combined with the damage from Clockwork, Ryze might have lost his first blood!"
Seeing this, Shadow's Clockwork could only use the Q skill to deplete Ryze's health.
Although Xu Mo used his flash, his expression remained calm. He drank the potion and continued to steadily last hit every time. He knew that for a hero like Ryze, the most important thing in the early game was development.
Karsa's Viego took advantage of the fact that the Prince showed up in the middle lane to invade TG's lower jungle area and successfully counter-killed a group of Forest's Gromps.
In the top lane, Xiaohu's Gnar was facing off against Crocodile, and he played cautiously, trying to avoid a head-on fight with the Crocodile.
In the bottom lane, Uzi's Aphelios and Ming's Titan faced tremendous pressure. The combination of Bounty Hunter and Dawn had strong consumption and control capabilities in the lane. Ming's Titan tried to hook several times, but was evaded by the opponent, which cost him a lot of health.
6 minutes later, the first little dragon (wind dragon) refreshed.
TG's Prince and the bottom lane combination took their positions early, and Forest's Prince directly started scanning and cleared the vision near the dragon pit.
"TG is determined to get this little dragon!" Miller said, "For their lineup, getting the little dragon in the early stage is very important to drive the rhythm."
On the RNG side, Xu Mo's Ryze was pinned down in the middle by Clockwork, and Gnar in the top lane was unable to escape. Although Karsa's Viego wanted to try to grab it, facing the three TG players, the risk was too great.
In the end, TG successfully took down the first wind dragon.
"TG successfully controlled the first little dragon, and their early game rhythm has picked up!" Wawa said, "Now RNG needs to stabilize the situation and try to delay the game."
Xi Ran looked at the screen and said softly, "Mo Shen's Ryze is not falling behind too much right now, which is already very difficult. As long as he is given room to develop, he will definitely take over the game in the later stages."
However, TG's offensive did not stop. At 7:6, Forest's Prince came to the middle lane again. This time he chose to go around from behind the F wall, and with Shadow's Clockwork, he directly used his ultimate skill "Heaven and Earth Shattering" to trap Ryze who had no flash!
Shadow's Clockwork also understood what he meant, using his QW skills to deal damage, while at the same time giving Ryze an order: the slowing effect of the shock wave.
Xu Mo remained calm in the face of danger, and activated his E skill "Spell Surge" to mark Clockwork, then used his W skill "Rune Imprisonment" to immobilize Clockwork who wanted to go forward to attack, while pulling him back and using his Q skill "Overload" to deal damage.
Just when Ryze's health was in danger, Karsa's Viego arrived in time! He used his W skill "Thousand Years of Sob" to stun the prince, and then rushed forward with his Q skill and started to output.
Ming's Titan also came to support from the middle river, and a precise Q skill "Clear the Channel" hooked the Prince who was attacking!
"The fighting has begun! A team fight broke out in the middle lane!" Wawa spoke very quickly.
With the help of his teammates, Xu Mo's Ryze escaped with low health, and used his Q skill to kill the Prince who was severely injured by Viego!
"First Blood!" Xu Mo's Ryze took the first blood of the Prince!
But TG's support was also quick. The top laner Crocodile TPed directly to the middle lane and cooperated with Clockwork to kill Karsa's Viego!
Ming's Titan was also stuck by Clockwork and Crocodile and eventually fell down.
In this 2-for-2 team fight, although Xu Mo's Ryze got the first blood, the deaths of Karsa and Ming affected RNG's early rhythm.
"This teamfight was too intense!" Miller analyzed. "Both sides were furious! Although Ryze got the first blood, the deaths of Viego and Titan allowed TG to take some initiative in the jungle and small-scale teamfights."
Xu Mo looked at the gray screen and frowned slightly. He knew that in this round, TG's offensive would be very fierce and they would not give him a chance to develop safely.
"Hold steady, wait for my equipment." Xu Mo said in the team voice, his voice still calm.
After his resurrection, he directly created Tears of the Goddess and The Lost Chapters, and worked towards the Catalyst Stone of Eternity.
TG used this teamfight victory to suppress RNG's jungle. Forest's Prince cooperated with Crocodile to continuously invade Karsa's jungle, which greatly affected Karsa's development.
In the bottom lane, Uzi's Aphelios, without any support from the jungler, was also pressed under the tower by TG's bottom lane combination, and his last-hitting chance was gradually widened.
"TG played very actively!" Wawa said, "They fully utilized the advantages of their lineup and put tremendous pressure on RNG in the early and mid-game! Now several lanes of RNG are in trouble."
Xi Ran's eyes were filled with worry: "Yes, although Mo Shen's Ryze got the first blood, he needs time to develop. RNG needs to find a breakthrough now, otherwise the situation will become more and more passive."
At this moment, Xu Mo's Ryze reached level 6. He glanced at the bottom lane that was being pushed, and then at the position of Karsa's Viego.
"Karsa, prepare to counterattack, I'll drive over." Xu Mo said decisively.
TG's bottom lane combination pushed too deep, and Bounty Hunter and Dawn both stood at the edge of the attack range of RNG's bottom lane tower, trying to consume the tower skin.
Xu Mo activated his ultimate skill "Zodiac Warp" behind the second tower in the middle lane! A golden portal lit up in the bush behind the first tower in the bottom lane of RNG!
Karsa's Viego also understood and headed straight to the bottom lane!
"Ryze is driving! The target is the bottom lane!" Miller exclaimed, "Can RNG seize the opportunity this time?"
When Bounty Hunter and Dawn saw Ryze's portal, their faces changed and they quickly retreated!
But it's too late!
Xu Mo's Ryze and Karsa's Viego emerged from the portal and directly cut off the retreat of TG's bottom lane duo!
Ming's Titan had been waiting for a long time, and a precise R skill "Deep Sea Impact" locked onto the Goddess of Dawn!
Uzi's Aphelios switched to red and white swords and opened fire!
Xu Mo's Ryze, W, Q, and EQ combo hit Shuguang, and with the damage from his teammates, he killed him instantly!
TG's ADC Bounty used flash and tried to escape, but was caught up by Karsa's Viego who flashed and slowed him down with a Q skill, and with the help of Uzi's output, he was also taken away!
"Double Kill!" Uzi's Aphelios gets a double kill! (End of this chapter)
