EBE Chapter 982 Suppression
Chapter 982 Suppression
"Faker's suppression is too strong," Meiko said softly. "The timing of each of his skills is very accurate."
Xu Mo nodded. He could clearly feel the invisible pressure from the opponent. Faker's Ahri was like a slippery venomous snake, always looking for your flaws.
In the first three levels, both sides were testing each other. Xu Mo tried his best to avoid the consumption of Ahri, and occasionally he could use the Q skill to scratch Faker, but Faker could always use W "Shadow of Demon" to easily pull away. In terms of last-hitting, Xu Mo was inevitably suppressed by a few.
"He really wants to kill me by going to level 2." Xu Mo judged in his mind. Sure enough, when Faker was about to reach level 2, his positioning became extremely aggressive.
Xu Mo had anticipated this, and the moment Faker stepped on his W, he simultaneously used his W "Shadow Secret! Clone" to pull back, and at the same time used his Q skill. Faker's Q skill of the Enchantress hit Xu Mo, but Xu Mo's Q skill also hit Faker's real body.
After a blood exchange, neither side gained much advantage. But Xu Mo knew that he had successfully resolved Faker's first wave of attacks.
"Hold on, Brother Mo!" praised the factory manager.
At level 3, LeBlanc has the E skill "Phantom Chains", which makes her more threatening. Faker starts to use the W skill more frequently to rush forward, trying to tie up Xu Mo with chains.
Xu Mo played very cautiously. Every time Faker used W, he would immediately judge where LeBron would land and move in advance. There were several times when Faker's chain almost brushed the corner of Xu Mo's clothes.
"It's so thrilling!" Meiko's palms were sweating.
Xu Mo's forehead was also covered with fine beads of sweat. When facing Faker, he had to concentrate highly. Not only did he have to dodge skills, but he also had to calculate Faker's skill CD and mana, while ensuring his own development.
"Uzi has gained an advantage in the bottom lane!" the factory manager suddenly said.
The camera cut to the bottom lane, where Uzi's Caitlyn and Meiko's Lulu had already pushed the opponent's ADC under the tower, leading in last hits by nearly twenty hits.
"As expected of Uzi." Xu Mo admired in his heart. The advantage in the bottom lane allowed him to breathe a little.
Level 6 is the first critical node for Zed and Leblanc. Both sides have the ability to kill each other instantly.
The air in the middle seemed to freeze.
Xu Mo was looking for an opportunity, and Faker was also waiting.
Suddenly, Faker seized the opportunity when Xu Mo made a mistake in his positioning as the artillery vehicle, used his W skill to step on his face, used his Q skill to mark his target, and used his E skill to chain his opponent instantly!
"Here it comes!" Xu Mo's pupils shrank, and his reaction was extremely fast. Almost at the moment when Faker stepped on him with W, he pressed R in seconds to "Banned the Ultimate Technique! Instant Prison Shadow Killing Array", targeting Faker!
Zed's figure disappeared from the spot, perfectly dodging Ahri's fatal chain and the second damage of her Q skill!
Faker also reacted quickly. The moment Zed's ultimate landed, he immediately used his flash and pressed the R skill to copy the W skill "Shadow Shadow" and fled to the tower.
"Want to run?" Xu Mo's eyes condensed, and his fingers turned into afterimages on the keyboard. After R landed, he immediately followed up with E skill "Shadow Secret! Ghost Slash" to slow down, and at the same time, he predicted and released the W skill in the path where Faker flashed, followed by a basic attack, and then pressed the second stage of W to chase, put on ignite, and finally threw out two Q skills accurately!
Faker's Leblanc was at the edge of the tower, with his health at the bottom. He tried to use his last W to get back to a safe position, but Zed's death mark had already bloomed above his head!
"Oh!"
Single kill!
"First Blood!"
The female voice of the system sounded, and the entire team channel instantly boiled over!
"Oh my God! Mo Ge killed Faker alone!" The factory manager was so excited that he almost jumped up from his chair.
Meiko also looked incredible: "This operation is too extreme! Using R to dodge skills, and then accurately predicting all of Faker's movements, so cool!"
Uzi also typed in praise: "NICE!"
Xu Mo took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement. He knew that this wave of single kills was partly due to luck, but more importantly, it was the perfect operation under his full concentration.
Faker typed in the middle lane: "wp." (well played)
Just two simple letters, but they are recognition from a legendary player.
This solo kill established a certain advantage for Xu Mo. He went home to buy a Serrated Dagger, and when he returned to the line again, he no longer had much difficulty facing Faker's Leblanc.
However, Faker is Faker after all. Even when he was at a disadvantage, he remained calm. He began to control the minion line to reduce the direct confrontation with Xu Mo, while taking advantage of the mobility of Leblanc to find opportunities for roaming support.
"Faker goes down!" the factory manager reminded.
Xu Mo marked immediately and pushed the line quickly, trying to consume the health of the middle tower.
In the bottom lane, Faker's Leblanc cooperated with the jungler Elise to kill Uzi's Caitlyn by crossing the tower. But Uzi's movement was as smooth as silk, using the E skill to increase the distance, flashing to avoid the key control of Elise, and replacing the opponent's support under the tower, escaping with low health.
"Uzi is awesome!" Meiko shouted.
Although Uzi did not die, Faker's roaming still caused considerable trouble to the bottom lane.
"I must put more pressure on him." Xu Mo thought.
In the middle of the game, small-scale team battles began to frequently break out between the two sides.
In a battle for the little dragon, the two sides met in the middle river.
Faker's Leblanc was roaming around the edge of the battlefield like a ghost, looking for an opportunity to cut in. His target was Uzi's Policewoman.
"Protect Uzi!" Xu Mo shouted in the team.
The team fight started, the opponent's top laner Kennen entered the field with his ultimate, and the jungler Spider also rushed towards Uzi. Meiko's Lulu immediately used his ultimate and shield on Uzi, and at the same time turned into a sheep to catch the charging Spider.
At this moment, Faker's Leblanc moved! He stepped on Uzi with his W skill and unleashed a series of skills!
"Now!" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, his target locked on Faker, and his R skill was activated!
Jie's figure disappeared again.
Faker seemed to have anticipated this. The moment Zed's ultimate landed, he returned to his original position and tried to create some distance.
But Xu Mo was faster! At the moment when the ultimate skill landed, he did not rush to deal damage, but took advantage of the short period of inability to target and the position of the shadow after the ultimate skill, predicted the position where Faker W would return, and made a precise EWQ triple combo, with all skills hitting!
Faker's Ahri was instantly left with low health! He wanted to use R to copy W to escape, but Xu Mo's Ignite was already activated, and the Death Mark exploded again!
Faker falls again!
"Kill Faker again!" Factory Manager shouted excitedly, "Brother Mo is in great form today!"
Faker's team was completely defeated without the core output. Uzi's policewoman output crazily in a safe environment, achieved a 0-for-4 exchange and successfully took down the little dragon.
The following game almost became a show match between Xu Mo and Uzi. Xu Mo's Zed absolutely suppressed Faker in the middle lane, and Faker's Leblanc didn't even dare to leave the tower easily. Uzi's Caitlyn also pushed down a tower in the bottom lane early and started to switch lanes and push the middle lane.
Although Faker tried hard to find opportunities and tried several times to use LeBlanc's burst to kill Uzi instantly, Meiko's Lulu was protected so well and Xu Mo's Zed was always on guard, so Faker's plans failed again and again.
For the first time, Faker showed some helplessness on his face. He knew that the game was over. This Zed and this policewoman worked so well together.
"They're going to attack Baron!" Meiko shouted.
Xu Mofang used his vision advantage to successfully rush the Baron. With the Baron Buff, they began to push forward in the middle lane.
Faker tried to make a last-ditch effort. In front of the highland tower, Faker's Leblanc found a tricky angle and used a combination of skills, WQR, to hit Uzi's Caitlyn, and with the help of his teammates, Uzi was instantly reduced to low health.
“Uzi is in danger!”
At this critical moment, Xu Mo's Jie was like a god descending from heaven, flashing R to Faker's face, and with a set of skills, he killed Faker instantly in the crowd again!
"Triple kill of Faker! Brother Mo! The eternal god!" The factory manager no longer knew what words to use to describe it.
With Faker's death, the opponent completely lost the will to resist.
Xu Mo led his teammates and flattened the opponent's base in one wave.
On the screen, the word "Victory" shines brightly.
Xu Mo let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a little sore in all the muscles of his body, which was the fatigue after the high concentration. But his heart was filled with unprecedented joy and satisfaction.
"Brother Mo, you are so awesome! You got a triple kill on Faker!" Meiko patted Xu Mo's back excitedly.
"It's mainly due to Uzi's strong bottom lane, as well as the support from Zzaiyi and you." Xu Mo smiled modestly, but the light in his eyes could not be concealed.
Uzi also rarely typed on the public screen: "mid gap."
These three short letters are undoubtedly the highest evaluation of Xu Mo's performance.
Faker was silent for a moment, and then replied: "gg, you are good."
Xu Mo looked at the screen with mixed feelings. To him, being recognized by Faker meant more than winning the game itself.
"We'll meet again next time." Xu Mo said silently in his heart. He knew that this was just a new beginning. Only by fighting with top masters can he constantly break through his limits and become stronger.
He opened a new can of drink, and the cool sweetness rushed into his throat, as if watering the seed called "dream" in his heart.
The sun is shining outside the window, and everything is full of hope.
After the ranking match, Xu Mo let out a long sigh and immersed himself in the afterglow of victory. He did not start another game immediately, but leaned back on the gaming chair and closed his eyes to rest. The series of high-intensity matches, especially the final match with Faker, were extremely exhausting.
The phone screen lit up. It was a message from Rita: "Congratulations, Master Xu. I heard that you killed a lot in the ranking again? You even killed Faker alone?" followed by a mischievous tongue-sticking emoticon.
Xu Mo smiled and replied, "It was just luck, Faker is still very strong. As for you, are you ready to commentate on the opening match tomorrow?"
"Of course! I'm a professional!" Rita responded with a confident expression, "Tomorrow RNG will play against EDG, it's a focus match, you have to perform well, I will cheer for you crazily in the commentary booth!"
"Thank you for your good wishes." Xu Mo replied, with a surge of anticipation in his heart.
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Xu Mo ended the conversation. After a simple wash, he fell into a deep sleep with anticipation for tomorrow's game.
The next day, Shanghai Oriental Sports Center.
The 2019 LPL Spring Season Opening Game is about to begin. Outside the stadium, fans have already lined up in a long queue, waving their respective team's support items in their hands. The gold of RNG and the red and black of EDG are intertwined to form a beautiful landscape.
Inside the stadium, the lights were bright, the LPL promotional video was playing on the huge LED screen, and the exciting music lit up every corner. The auditorium was packed, and cheers and screams rose and fell, converging into a sea of enthusiasm.
"Come on RNG!" "EDG must win!" The slogans were getting louder and louder.
At the same time, the LPL official live broadcast room has already been overcrowded.
"Here it comes! My youth is back!"
"Pigs and dogs fight! My youth is back!"
"RNG introduced a new top laner XuMo this year. I don't know how good he is, but I hope he can withstand the pressure!"
"EDG! 7-chan will never be wiped out!"
"Uzi! God forever!"
The barrage of comments was pouring in like a waterfall, and the server was even slightly lagging, which shows how popular this opening match was.
Sitting in the commentary booth were the golden duo of LPL—Guan Zeyuan and Jiede, as well as today’s special guest host—Yu Shuang.
"Welcome all summoners to the opening match of the 2019 LPL Spring Season!" Yu Shuang's sweet voice sounded, "Today's matchup is between two veteran powerhouses of our LPL, RNG vs. EDG! The pig-dog battle is on again!"
Guan Zeyuan adjusted his glasses and said, "Yes, both teams had some personnel changes during the offseason. RNG introduced the new top laner XuMo, and EDG reconnected with our old friend Clearlove7!"
Jide was a little excited: "I can't wait to watch this match! Especially the new top laner of RNG. I heard that he performed very well in Rank. I wonder how he will perform on the LPL stage."
During the pre-match chat session, interview VCRs of the two teams’ players appeared on the big screen.
On the RNG side, Uzi was still confident: "EDG, we are old rivals. I am very happy that Zhazhuang is back. I hope he can come to the bottom lane more today. I will treat him well."
Xiaohu smiled and said: "Scout, let's see who is the best Chinese mid laner in LPL (laughs)."
It was Xu Mo's turn. He faced the camera with a steady look in his eyes: "Zizhuang is a senior who deserves respect, and EDG is also a strong opponent. I will do my best to help the team get off to a good start. As for the top lane, I will defend my position, and maybe... I will give the opponent a little surprise."
On the EDG side, Clearlove7 (Zhang Guan) smiled with his signature smile: "Xiaogou is still so crazy, but I like it. Is this RNG's new top laner? It's good for young people to be aggressive, but in the LPL arena, experience is also important."
Scout simply responded: "Xiaohu, I look forward to competing with you."
Meiko pushed up his glasses and said, "Ming, we are old rivals in the bottom lane. Let's see whose command is better today."
After the dirty talk session, the atmosphere became even more heated.
Players from both teams entered the venue. The five RNG players were wearing golden uniforms. Xu Mo walked in the middle of the team. It was his first time stepping onto the LPL stage, feeling the thunderous cheers. He felt nervous but also couldn't suppress his excitement.
The five EDG players were dressed in calm red and black uniforms, with the factory manager walking in front with a determined look in his eyes.
The BP phase begins.
After careful consideration, the RNG coaching team chose a hero that Xu Mo is also good at - "Camille".
EDG chose the more powerful "Malva Behemoth Malphite" for the top laner Ray, intending to target RNG's back row in team battles. (End of this chapter)
