EBE Chapter 983 The Golden Boy
Chapter 983 The Golden Boy
The lineups of both sides are determined:
RNG ：
Top laner (XuMo) - Camille
Jungler (Karsa) - Lee Sin
Midlane (Xiaohu) - Frost Witch Lissandra
ADC (Uzi) - Kai'Sa, Daughter of the Void
Support (Ming) - Minotaur Chieftain Alistar
EDG:
Top laner (Ray) - Malphite, the Molten Monster
Jungler (Clearlove7) - Eternal Nightmare: Mordekaiser
Mid (Scout) - Zoe
ADC (iBoy)-Niyu·Xia
Support (Meiko) - Phantom Wing Luo
"Okay, the lineups of both teams are confirmed!" Guan Zeyuan spoke very quickly. "RNG has a lineup that tends to be strong in the mid-game, relying heavily on Camille's solo lane and Lee Sin's rhythm. In the late game, they have Kai'Sa and Lissandra to protect them. On the EDG side, Malphite and Mordechamber's dual entry, combined with Zoe's Poke and Xayah and Rakan's combination, make their teamfighting capabilities very terrifying!"
Remember to add: "This game depends on whether Xu Mo's Camille can gain an advantage in the top lane. If Ray's Malphite can withstand the pressure and allow EDG to smoothly pass the laning phase, then RNG will be in a difficult situation in the mid-term."
The game is loading and the competition officially begins!
After Xu Mo's Camille came online, she played very actively, using the acceleration and second-stage true damage of her Q skill "Precision Etiquette" to constantly look for opportunities to consume the Stone Man. Ray's Stone Man was very stable, focusing on Q consumption, using passive shields and corruption potions to recover, and trying to avoid fighting Camille head-on.
"Xu Mo played very aggressively!" Yu Shuang said, "He started suppressing Ray's last hits at level 1."
"When Camille fights Malphite, she does have the upper hand in the early game," Guan Zeyuan said. "But you also have to be careful of the Nightmare of the Factory Manager. Once she reaches level 6, combined with Malphite's ultimate, Camille is doomed to die."
Xu Mo knew this very well. While suppressing Ray, he paid close attention to his own positioning and kept his vision at key intersections.
Karsa's Lee Sin had a good rhythm in the early game. He first helped Uzi and Ming in the bottom lane to force out iBoy Xayah's double skills, and then cooperated with Xiaohu's Lissandra in the middle lane to force back Scout's Zoe.
"Karsa is in great form!" remember to exclaim.
In the top lane, Xu Mo gradually pushed the troops under the EDG tower with his delicate operation. Ray's stone man had some difficulty in making up for the tower, and his health was also reduced to less than half.
"Opportunity!" Xu Mo's eyes narrowed. He calculated the CD of Stoneman's skills and the position of Factory Manager's Nightmare (who had just appeared in the lower half of the area).
Camille's E skill "Hook" accurately kicks the wall, and the second stage of the flying kick stuns the stone man under the tower. She immediately follows up with AWQ (A cancels the W backswing, Q resets the basic attack), casts a passive shield to resist the damage from the defense tower, and then A follows up with the second stage of the real damage Q!
Ray's Stoneman's health dropped to zero in an instant, and he used Flash to try to escape.
"Want to leave?" Xu Mo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, followed by a flash, and with a basic attack, he took away the stone man's head!
"First Blood!"
"Solo kill! Oh my God! New top laner XuMo killed Ray's Stone Man alone in his first show in LPL!" Guan Zeyuan's voice rose octaves.
The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded instantly:
“66666! This new guy is something!”
"Is this the strength of a champion top laner? (Nagus)"
"What is Ray doing? Getting killed under the tower?"
"Xu Mo is awesome!"
After Xu Mo completed the solo kill, he calmly pushed the line back to the city and replenished Tiamat to further enhance his pushing and burst capabilities.
Seeing the disadvantage in the top lane, Zzai's Nightmare tried to find an opportunity in the middle lane, but Xiaohu's Lissandra was very stable, and with Karsa's counter-camp, Zzai returned empty-handed.
Uzi's Kaisa also gradually exerted suppression power in the bottom lane. With the control of Ming's Alistar, iBoy and Meiko's Xayah and Rakan combination could only passively defend.
As the game entered the mid-game, Xu Mo's Camille began to show her terrifying solo ability. No one on EDG could limit the well-developed Camille alone, and Ray's Stoneman was out of equipment and suffered terribly.
"It's very difficult for EDG to deal with Camille now," said Jide. "If we send one person to defend, he won't be able to win; if we send two people to catch her, something will go wrong on the front line. Besides, Camille has her ultimate and E skills, so it's hard to catch her and kill her."
EDG was forced to choose to let the factory manager's nightmare cooperate with Ray's stone man to go to the top lane to defend Xu Mo.
At this moment, the other RNG members decisively started to attack the little dragon.
"RNG is using a classic 4-1 split-lane strategy!" Guan Zeyuan analyzed. "Camille's solo lane distracts EDG's defensive focus, while the others plunder map resources."
EDG was in a dilemma. Scout's Zoe tried to poke and consume the enemy in the middle lane, but RNG had the strong start of Alistar and Lissandra, so they didn't dare to go too forward.
In the end, RNG successfully took the second dragon.
"Xu Mo's solo push was so crucial that EDG couldn't take care of both ends."
22 minutes into the game, the big dragon was born.
The two sides fought for vision near the dragon pit.
Xu Mo's Camille continued to put pressure on the flanks, and EDG's back row always felt the fear of being dominated by Shen.
"EDG's current position is very passive. They are afraid that Camille will directly use E flash R to start a team fight."
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Scout's Zoe seized an opportunity and accurately hit Karsa's Lee Sin who was in the front position with a hypnotic bubble.
"Scout put Lee Sin to sleep! Is EDG going to take action?"
The factory manager’s nightmare immediately activated his ultimate skill “Ghost”, and cooperated with the stone man’s ultimate skill, aiming directly at Uzi in the back row of RNG!
"EDG started a team fight! The target is Uzi's Kaisa!"
At the critical moment, Ming's Minotaur reacted quickly, used the W skill to push away the advancing Stone Man, and used the Q skill to hit Nightmare.
But Xayah and Rakan also entered the field at the same time. Xayah used her ultimate to avoid damage, and Rakan used W to lift up all the RNG players.
While being controlled, Uzi's Kaisa activated his R skill, flew to a safe position, and started dealing damage.
Just when the battlefield was in chaos, Xu Mo's Camille moved!
He did not choose to cut the opponent's back row, but used the E skill to hook the wall, and a precise flying kick from an ultra-long distance directly hit Scout's Zoe who was trying to output!
"Camille's target is Scout! He wants to kill Zoe!"
The ultimate move "Hex Ultimatum" directly trapped Zoe! AWQ Tiamat AQA! A set of smooth combos, combined with Lissandra's freezing, instantly killed Scout's Zoe!
"Scout is down! EDG's most important Poke point is gone!" Guan Zeyuan shouted excitedly.
Without Zoe, EDG's output was severely insufficient. The entry of Stone Man and Nightmare failed to kill Uzi instantly, but instead put themselves in the encirclement of RNG.
Uzi's Kaisa was dealing crazy damage under the protection of his teammates. Karsa's Lee Sin also woke up and kicked iBoy's Xayah back, and cooperated with his teammates to kill her.
The teamfight was defeated! RNG scored a 1 for 4!
"Beautiful! RNG won this crucial team battle! Xu Mo's choice was crucial. He did not blindly cut the back row, but accurately found EDG's weak point - Scout's Zoe!" Remember to praise loudly.
The live broadcast room was boiling again:
"Mo Shen! Mo Shen!"
"This Camille is too fierce!"
"Uzi can always be trusted!"
"EDG made a wrong decision. They shouldn't have started with Lee Sin."
RNG took the Baron and pushed forward from the middle lane with the Baron Buff.
Xu Mo's Camille was like a no man's land, taking whatever she wanted on the high ground. Ray's stone man couldn't stop him at all.
In the end, with the explosive output of Uzi's Kaisa and the ruthless cutting of Xu Mo's Camille, RNG successfully pushed down EDG's crystal hub.
"Congratulations to RNG! They successfully won the opening game of the 2019 LPL Spring Split!" Yu Shuang announced.
Deafening cheers broke out in the venue, golden rain fell, and the RNG players hugged each other excitedly.
Xu Mo looked at the word "Victory" on the screen, then looked at his cheering teammates and the excited audience. He was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. The first LPL show ended with a hearty victory, which was undoubtedly a perfect start.
He knew that the road ahead was still long, but at this moment, he just wanted to fully enjoy the joy of victory.
The lights focused, and a huge MVP poster lit up on the big screen behind Xu Mo - Camille, the Steel Shadow, and the golden words of his ID "XuMo".
"No surprise! Let us congratulate RNG's new top laner XuMo for winning the MVP in his LPL debut!" Guan Zeyuan's voice was still loud and clear, "1V1 solo kill, unstoppable solo laning in the mid-term, precise entry into teamfights and instant kills of key C positions, this Camille's performance was perfect!"
Jide nodded in agreement: "Yes, especially in the last teamfight. When everyone thought he would go for Xia, he decisively chose to kill Scout's Zoe instantly. This decision directly determined the direction of the teamfight. So calm and decisive!"
Off the field, fans were shouting "Mo Shen"'s name, with the voices getting louder and louder.
Xu Mo took a deep breath, stood up from his seat, and celebrated with his teammates by high-fiving one by one. Uzi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done, Xu Mo! This Camille has that flavor of the old days!"
Xiaohu also smiled and said: "Mozi, your first performance is good. From now on, I will let you go in the top lane. You can carry it yourself!"
Karsa: "Brother, your vision and awareness helped me avoid ganks several times, it feels good!"
Ming gave a thumbs up: "Brother Mo is awesome! I can win even if I tie a dog to my side in the future! (jokingly)"
Xu Mo was amused by his teammates' enthusiasm, and the excitement in his heart gradually subsided, replaced by a sense of solid satisfaction.
Under the guidance of the staff, Xu Mo walked up to the interview seat.
The host was none other than Yu Shuang, one of the most popular actresses in LPL. She was wearing an elegant white dress today, with a professional and sweet smile on her face.
"Congratulations to RNG, and congratulations to player XuMo for winning the MVP in his LPL debut! How do you feel now?" Yu Shuang handed the microphone to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo took the microphone and was a little uncomfortable with the spotlight, but he remained calm: "It feels great. Winning the game is the most important thing. The MVP is a recognition of my personal performance, and I am very grateful to my teammates for their trust and help." His voice was clear and steady, without too much emotional fluctuations, but full of confidence.
The live broadcast room was flooded with comments again:
"Wow, Mo Shen is so handsome and calm!"
"Such beauty and strength, I am such a fan!"
"Aunt Yu Shuang's eyes look at Mo Shen with a strange look (dog head)"
Yu Shuang smiled and continued to ask, "Today, you were laning against Ray's Malphite in the top lane. You started suppressing him at level 1 and successfully killed him before level 6. What were you thinking at the time? Were you worried that Zz1tai's Nightmare would come to gank?"
Xu Mo thought for a moment and replied, "When Camille fights the Stone Man, she must have a suppressive effect in the early stage. In the wave of solo kill, I calculated his skill CD and health, and also observed that the factory manager had just appeared in the bottom lane, so I judged that he would not be able to support the top lane in a short time, and it was a relatively good opportunity for a solo kill. There are definitely risks, but the benefits are also huge, so I tried it decisively." His answer was clear and logical, and he did not sound like a newcomer at all.
Yu Shuang's eyes flashed with praise: "Very decisive indeed. Then in the last crucial dragon team battle, EDG's Nightmare and Stoneman took the initiative to start a team fight, targeting Uzi's Kaisa. The battlefield was very chaotic at the time. Why did you choose to kill Scout's Zoe instead of the opponent's ADC Xayah who was also threatening?"
This question is very critical and is also a point that many viewers and commentators like to talk about.
Xu Mo said frankly: "In the situation at that time, the opponent's Xayah and Rakan had two skills, Rakan also had W and R to protect, and Xayah herself had a big move, so I was not completely sure that I could kill Xayah in the first place. Moreover, although Uzi's Kaisa was attacked, Ming's Alistar protected her in time, and Kaisa herself also had the R skill to adjust the position. In contrast, Scout's Zoe was EDG's main poke and consumption point. Once he pulled her up, it would be difficult for us to fight a frontal team battle. Moreover, Zoe is relatively fragile, and my equipment can deal with her faster. Killing Zoe can instantly disintegrate EDG's team battle formation and output ability. I think this was the best solution at the time."
This explanation drew warm applause from the audience both at the venue and in the live broadcast room.
"It's so clear! I understand this game!"
“Is this the thinking of a top laner?”
"Not only is he good at operation, but his mind is also so clear. He has a promising future!"
Yu Shuang nodded repeatedly, and looked at Xu Mo with a little more appreciation in her eyes: "Excellent decision and execution! As a newcomer to the LPL, you have such an outstanding performance on your first stage. Do you have anything to say to your fans who support you?"
Xu Mo paused, looked at the fans waving RNG team flags and light boards with his ID, and said sincerely: "Thank you very much for your support. LPL is a stage full of challenges, and today's victory is just the beginning. I will continue to work hard, together with my teammates, to strive to play more exciting games and live up to everyone's expectations. Thank you!"
At the end of the interview, Xu Mo politely shook hands with Yu Shuang. Yu Shuang's hands were warm and soft, with a faint fragrance. She smiled and said, "You did a great job. Keep it up!"
"Thank you, Sister Shuang." Xu Mo responded.
Back in the locker room, coach Heart and the players had been waiting for a long time.
"Beautiful! XuMo! You played really well!" Heart came up and gave Xu Mo a big bear hug, not sparing his praise, "Your Camille reminds me of TheShy! No, you are more stable than him!"
Xu Mo was a little embarrassed by the compliment: "Coach, you are too kind. It's still the team that played well."
"Okay, stop being so modest, you are the brightest star today!" Uzi put his arm around Xu Mo's shoulders, "I'll treat you tonight, let's go to Haidilao!"
"Okay!" Everyone cheered.
After a simple celebration and review, the entire RNG team took the bus back to the base. On the way, Xu Mo took out his phone and saw that his Weibo followers had skyrocketed, and there were countless private messages and comments, most of which were congratulations and praise. He also saw a lot of clips of his and Yu Shuang's interviews and interactions, with all kinds of strange titles, such as "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" and "LPL's New CP", which made him laugh and cry.
