Chapter 985 Hustle
Chapter 985 Hustle
The noise on the Internet did not affect Xu Mo's preparations too much. The popularity of his heroic act was soon overshadowed by the LPL Spring Split schedule. RNG performed steadily in the next few games, and Xu Mo's performance in the top lane became more and more stable. Whether it was a carry hero or a tank hero, he could integrate well into the team system and perform brilliantly from time to time.
Soon, the regular season ushered in a focus battle - RNG vs. IG.
This is not just an ordinary regular season game, but a clash between two LPL giants and two generations of top traffic teams, which is jokingly called the "e-sports Spring Festival Gala" by fans. On one side is the veteran powerhouse RNG with Uzi, and on the other side is the S8 world champion IG with the legendary double Cs TheShy and Rookie. The duel between the rookie top laner XuMo and the legendary top laner TheShy has become the biggest highlight of this game.
On the match day, the atmosphere outside the stadium was already ignited by the enthusiasm of fans of both teams.
"RNG! Must win! Uzi! Forever the God!"
"IG! Go! TheShy! Kill the top lane!"
The cheering flags were flying, and fans were wearing the uniforms of their favorite teams, with paint on their faces, and cheering for their home teams at the top of their lungs. The stadium was packed with people, the lights were bright, and the pre-match warm-up film was playing on the huge screen. The passionate music made people's blood boil.
In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan, Jide and Rita, who was dressed in an intellectual outfit, were already in place.
"Good evening, everyone! Welcome to the 2019 LPL Spring Regular Season. Today, RNG will face IG! I believe there is no need for me to say more about the attention this game will receive!" Guan Zeyuan spoke quickly with his signature passion.
Jide pushed his glasses and said, "Yes, both teams are extremely popular, and the matchups between the players are also very interesting. Especially in the top lane, the newcomer XuMo will face TheShy directly, which will be a huge test for him."
Rita added with a smile: "XuMo has been in excellent form recently. Not only is his operation delicate, but his play is also very smart. I am looking forward to his match against TheShy today. I believe it will be very exciting. And after the last incident at the mall, the title of 'Mo Shen' has become more and more famous!" She said half-jokingly, with a hint of imperceptible appreciation in her eyes.
The LPL official live broadcast room has long been flooded with comments:
"The E-sports Spring Festival Gala is finally here! My little stool with melon seeds and peanuts is ready!"
"Come on, Moshen! Smash Shy for me! (Save your life with dog head)"
“TheShy: I heard there’s a very powerful newcomer? Let me meet you!”
"Uzi vs Rookie, Karsa vs Xun, Ming vs Baolan, every match is like a collision between Mars and the Earth!"
"Goddess Rita looks so beautiful today! Did you dress up specially for Mo Shen? (Funny)"
"Blind guess, Mo Shen will continue to choose Camille today, and Shy will take out Aatrox or Kennen."
Amidst the noise, the BP session officially began.
RNG is on the blue side and IG is on the red side.
After some negotiation, the two teams' lineups were determined:
RNG :
Top laner (XuMo) - Camille
Jungler (Karsa) - Jarvan IV, Prince of Demacia (I used Lee Sin before, but I’ll try a different rhythm this time)
Mid Lane (Xiaohu) - Clockwork Orianna (steady development, great teamfight skills)
ADC (Uzi) - Kai'Sa, Daughter of the Void
Support (Ming) - Minotaur Chieftain Alistar
IG:
Top laner (TheShy) - Iron Wraith Mordekaiser (Iron Man, a relatively strong top laner in this version)
Jungler (Xun) - Viego, the Ruined King (strong in jungle invasion and harvesting abilities)
Mid Lane (Rookie) - Dark Sovereign Syndra (strong in laning, burst of point control)
ADC (Wink) - Aphelios of the Waning Moon (late game core)
Sup (Baolan) - Chain Warden Thresh (roaming and protection)
"Okay, the lineups of both teams are confirmed!" Guan Zeyuan's voice rose again, "RNG has a lineup that is more focused on mid-to-late-game teamfights. Camille's solo laning, Prince's combo with Clockwork, and Kai'Sa and Alistar's entry are very solid! As for IG, TheShy's Iron Man! This hero is very powerful in his hands! With Viego and Syndra in the mid and jungle, the offensive power in the early and mid-game is very strong!"
I remember adding: "This top lane matchup is so crucial! Camille is playing against Malphite. If Xu Mo can handle the situation well in the early game and not be snowballed by Malphite, then Camille's ability to sling and seize opportunities in the mid-game will be terrifying. But if TheShy's Malphite gains an advantage, Camille will be in a very bad situation and may even be locked in infinitely."
Rita also nodded. "Yes, Iron Man's ultimate skill 'Reincarnation' after reaching level 6 is a huge threat to Camille. Xu Mo needs to be very careful."
The game is loading and the competition officially begins!
"Welcome to Summoner's Rift!"
Xu Mo's Camille and TheShy's Malphite arrived at the top lane almost at the same time.
At level 1, TheShy's Malphite learned the Q skill "Doomsday", and his positioning was very oppressive, trying to use the edge of the Q skill to consume Camille.
Xu Mo seemed unusually calm. He learned the Q skill "Precision Etiquette" and used the acceleration effect of the Q skill to constantly adjust his position while looking for opportunities to make up the enemy.
"TheShy is so aggressive at level 1! He directly wants to suppress Xu Mo's last hits!" Yu Shuang said at the commentary desk, but she was not the main commentator today.
"When Iron Man fights Camille, he can indeed try to suppress her with the range and damage of his Q at level 1," Guan Zeyuan analyzed, "but Xu Mo handled it very calmly and didn't take the skill head-on."
In the first two waves of soldiers, both sides focused on last-hitting and occasionally exchanged blood. TheShy's Iron Man's Q skill had a high hit rate, but Xu Mo relied on the blood recovery and shield on the outer edge of W "Tactical Sweep" and flexible positioning to keep his health relatively healthy.
Level three is a key node.
TheShy's Iron Man EQ combo, the Q skill's hammer hit Camille, and at the same time the E skill "Soul Breaker" tried to pull Camille back.
"TheShy takes action!"
Xu Mo's eyes focused, and almost at the moment when Iron Man raised his hand to use the E skill, his Camille's E skill "Hook" had already kicked towards the wall next to him!
With a clever wall return, Camille not only avoided the pull of Malphite's E skill, but also avoided the center damage of the subsequent Q skill, and was only slightly touched by the edge.
"Beautiful! Xu Mo's reaction is so fast!" Remember exclaimed, "He used the E skill to avoid the key control and damage of Iron Man!"
After dodging the skill, Xu Mo did not choose to retreat, but instead used the second stage of E to kick towards Iron Man, stunning him!
Immediately followed by AWQ! The passive shield was generated, offsetting the damage of the minions, and the true damage of the second stage of the Q skill accurately hit Iron Man!
TheShy's Iron Man was not to be outdone. He activated W "Indestructible Body" to gain a shield, and then counterattacked with AQA.
After a wave of blood exchange, the health of both sides was reduced to about two-thirds, but Camille obviously had a slight advantage thanks to her passive shield and the true damage of the second stage of Q.
"Xu Mo made a small profit in this exchange!" Rita commented, "He controlled the distance and released his skills very well."
Live broadcast room barrage:
"Mo Shen's reaction! E dodges E, textbook!"
"Shy bro is still so brave, but unfortunately he was outshined by Mo Shenxiu."
"This is a showdown between top laners! Full of details!"
Karsa's Prince knows the importance of the top lane very well. After clearing his own red buff, he goes straight to the top lane at level 2!
"Karsa ganked at level 2! TheShy didn't flash!"
TheShy's Iron Man is fighting for the line with Xu Mo's Camille, and the position is slightly forward.
Karsa's Prince directly used two EQ attacks from the river bush!
TheShy reacted extremely quickly. The moment he saw Prince show his head, he immediately moved back, but the angle of Prince's EQ was very tricky, and he was about to be provoked!
At this moment, Xu Mo's Camille was very decisive. She flashed W to slow down Malphite and used AQ at the same time!
After being slowed down, TheShy was eventually picked up by the Prince's EQ!
Karsa followed up with normal attacks, and Xu Mo also continued to output.
Iron Man's health dropped rapidly. Although he used his W skill to hold on, under the concentrated fire of Camille and Prince, he was still killed by Xu Mo's Camille with a basic attack!
"First Blood!"
"Beautiful! Perfect cooperation between Karsa and XuMo! They directly killed TheShy's Malphite at level 2!" Guan Zeyuan shouted excitedly.
"Xu Mo's flash was very decisive, just to ensure that TheShy couldn't escape!"
The live broadcast room was boiling again:
"Mo Shen is awesome! He killed Ray alone and got the first blood of Shy!"
"Karsa's thinking is clear! He wants to train TheShy!"
"It's over. Iron Man's death in the early game was too much. Camille is about to take off!"
After getting the first blood, Xu Mo's Camille went home and directly bought Radiance. After coming online, the suppression on Iron Man became even stronger.
Although TheShy died once, he still played aggressively and tried to find opportunities to counterattack. But Xu Mo's Camille handled it very delicately, using the damage of the Radiance and the pull of the Q skill to continuously consume the health of Iron Man while maintaining control of the line of soldiers.
6 minutes later, the first little dragon (fire dragon) refreshed.
Karsa's Prince went directly to control the dragon, while IG's jungler Xun's Viego chose to invade RNG's blue buff jungle area.
"Both junglers exchanged resources! Karsa took the first fire dragon, and Xun took the blue buff."
In the top lane, Xu Mo pushed the troops into the tower. TheShy's Iron Man had a hard time making up for the tower damage, and his health was reduced to less than half.
Just when TheShy tried to use the Q skill to clear a wave of cannon soldiers, Xu Mo's Camille moved!
The E skill "Hook" accurately kicks the edge of the defensive tower. The angle of the second kick is extremely tricky, and it stuns Iron Man just at the moment when his Q skill is backswing!
AW (Radiance) Q (stage 1), then A, Iron Man's health drops sharply!
TheShy immediately activated the W skill and pulled behind the tower.
Xu Mo refused to give up and followed the defense tower, AQ (second stage of true damage)!
Iron Man’s health is running low!
"Another solo kill?!" Guan Zeyuan's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief.
TheShy activated his ultimate skill "Reincarnation" under the tower, trying to lock Xu Mo in his own territory and use the defensive tower to kill him!
"TheShy is using his ultimate! He's going to lock Camille in!"
Just when Iron Man's ultimate was about to take effect, Xu Mo's Camille also activated her ultimate "Hextech Ultimatum", directly trapping Iron Man!
Camille's ultimate has a brief untargetable effect and knocks the target back.
This ultimate move not only avoids the forced displacement of Iron Man's ultimate move, but also pushes Iron Man out of the attack range of the defense tower!
"Oh my God! Xu Mo's ultimate! What a great reaction! He dodged Tienan's ultimate and pushed him out of the tower!" I remember exclaiming.
Without the protection of the defensive tower, Iron Man was like a lamb to be slaughtered in the range of Camille's ultimate skill.
Xu Mo calmly walked and attacked, avoiding Tienan's desperate Q skill, and with the last basic attack, he took Tienan's head again!
"Solo kill! Another solo kill! XuMo solo killed TheShy's Iron Man under the tower!"
Thunderous cheers broke out in the venue, and the light signs in the RNG fan area flashed wildly.
Rita's eyes sparkled as she watched: "It's amazing! The timing of releasing this ultimate move is simply perfect! Xu Mo's understanding of Camille has reached an extremely high level!"
The live broadcast room barrage has gone completely crazy:
"Moshen!!! Is this the new generation of top laner of LPL?"
"TheShy is so good! This Camille is too outrageous!"
"Details, all details! I'm wasting my time!"
"My mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the game!"
After killing TheShy, Xu Mo's Camille pushed down the plating of the top lane tower and went home to make the Trinity Force small item directly.
TheShy's Malphite started with a 0-2 lead and the top lane had completely collapsed.
IG was forced to adjust its strategy, and jungler Xun began to frequently visit the top lane, trying to help TheShy relieve the pressure.
But Karsa's Prince also saw through the opponent's intentions, and made several precise counter-ganks, causing Xun to return empty-handed, and even cooperated with Xu Mo to kill Viego who came to gank.
As the game entered the mid-game, Xu Mo's Camille was unstoppable. He began to use his equipment advantage to single-handedly push the team, and no one in IG could limit him alone.
RNG used Camille's diversion on the side lane to continuously plunder map resources. The second dragon (water dragon) and the Rift Herald were both taken by RNG.
Although IG's mid laner Rookie's Syndra had some advantages in the laning phase, facing the protection of RNG's Clockwork and Alistar, as well as the threat of Karsa's Prince, it was difficult for him to find an opportunity to instantly kill Uzi's Kaisa.
22 minutes into the game, RNG had three little dragons and an economic lead of six thousand.
A dragon is born.
RNG decisively used the Rift Herald to force the middle, and then quickly switched to the Baron.
IG was forced to defend.
Just as the two sides were fighting near the Baron pit, TheShy's Iron Man tried to go around from the side and wanted to use his ultimate to lock down Uzi's Kaisa.
"TheShy is looking for an opportunity! His target is Uzi!"
But Xu Mo's Camille had already been marking on the flank!
Just when Iron Man was about to approach RNG's back row, Xu Mo's Camille's E skill hooked the wall, and an ultra-long-distance flying kick accurately hit TheShy's Iron Man!
The ultimate skill "Hextech Ultimatum" once again traps Iron Man!
"Camille locked onto Malphite once again! TheShy couldn't even touch Uzi!"
Camille, with overwhelming equipment, uses a set of skills combined with the output of her teammates to instantly melt Iron Man!
Without the front row, IG's formation collapsed. Although Rookie's Syndra stunned Karsa's Jarvan IV, Xiaohu's Clockwork used a perfect ultimate move and pulled down three IG players!
Uzi's Kaisa came in and output crazily, completing the harvest!
A wave of 0 for 4! RNG took down the big dragon!
"It's over! After this team fight, IG has no hope of turning the tables!" Guan Zeyuan asserted.
"Xu Mo's performance with Camille was perfect! He got a solo kill in the laning phase and made precise cuts in team fights, completely suppressing TheShy!" I remember he was full of praise.
Rita looked at the figure on the screen who was controlling the Shen and killing everyone, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
With the Baron Buff, RNG was unstoppable and pushed forward from the middle lane, destroying IG's crystal hub.
"Congratulations to RNG! They have successfully won the 'eSports Spring Festival Gala'!"
The golden rain fell again, and Xu Mo high-fived and hugged his teammates. On the big screen, the MVP picture was given to Camille, who had a perfect record of 10/0/5, without any suspense - XuMo!
The whole audience shouted "Moshen" for a long time. (End of this chapter)
