Chapter 31: Installing the Prosthetic! The Ultimate Winner!

Karma's outrageous initiation left the audience wide-eyed, with many exclaiming how absurd it was.

However, the behavior of all five RNG members was equally baffling to everyone.

It was one thing for RNG to force a fight despite being so far behind in gold, but what on earth did it mean for all five of them to dump every single skill onto Karma at once?!

Just how much did they hate Karma to go this crazy?!

In the RNG practice room, the coach, Feng Ge, slapped his forehead, nearly fainting on the spot.

Originally standing, Feng Ge slumped into his seat, feeling as if all the strength had drained from his body.

"It's over..."

"It's completely over..."

His eyes were vacant as he murmured under his breath.

He knew that with such a massive gold deficit, RNG had absolutely no chance of winning this teamfight.

The correct move would have been to concede the mid lane high ground and focus on farming.

But now, all five RNG members were acting like madmen, throwing their lives away just to kill Karma...

He sat slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the live stream on the wall.

Guan Zeyuan's booming commentary continued

"Karma is being focused by all five RNG members, but EDG isn't sitting idle either! Braum uses R-Flash, knocking up Caitlyn and Thresh while simultaneously interrupting Galio's ultimate..."

"LeBlanc uses W-Q-R to instantly delete Caitlyn! She turns back and uses E to catch Nidalee, triggering the second stage of E control—Nidalee is dead too!"

"On the other side, Thresh and Camille can't withstand the damage; they're melting like paper. RNG is left with only Galio..."

"Galio goes in with E... uh... Galio is dead."

"ACE! RNG's teamfight didn't even last five seconds before they were wiped out! Crucially, the Karma they were focusing has actually survived—he's still at a sliver of health!"

"EDG has executed a perfect 0-for-5 teamfight. With the Baron buff, they have a complete chance to end this in one push."

After RNG's wipe, EDG pushed relentlessly, taking the high ground towers, the high ground crystal...

Then the two inhibitor towers...

And finally, the RNG Nexus.

"Push, push, push! Brothers, push!"

"Hurry, push it!"

Aside from Su Mo, the other EDG members were flushed with excitement, their mice clicking furiously as they continuously auto-attacked the crystal in front of them.

Clearlove was no exception.

As for Su Mo, he stood to the side pressing the dance key, then opened the all-chat and typed rapidly on his keyboard.

A moment later, a champion name appeared on the public screen

"EZ!"

Seeing those two words, the five RNG members froze and exchanged glances.

...

Meanwhile, the four members of EDG worked in unison, chipping away at the RNG Nexus health bar.

Finally, it vanished completely.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the RNG Nexus shattered instantly. Countless fragments flew in all directions before slowly converging to form two words—

VICTORY!

Looking at those two simple words, the EDG members felt a sense of unreality.

At the commentary desk, Guan Zeyuan offered his heartfelt congratulations: "Congratulations to EDG! By winning 3:2 against RNG, they have secured their ticket to the Grand Finals!"

"And with that, the finalists for the 2017 LPL Spring Split have been decided: EDG versus WE!"

Rita: "Congratulations, EDG!"

Simultaneously, a thunderous roar erupted from the venue.

"EDG!"

"EDG!"

"EDG!"

These were the shouts of the audience, the screams of the EDG fans.

It was a carnival for the EDG faithful.

...

At the player desks, the EDG members who had just finished the match were still sitting in their seats.

"AHHH!!!"

Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out, startling Su Mo, who had been wondering why the RNG players hadn't provided him with any "Torment Points."

He turned around just in time to see Zet jumping out of his chair, dancing with excitement. "We actually won! I'm not dreaming!"

Su Mo was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected Zet to be this wild.

Zet's previous impression on Su Mo had always been that he was quiet; he wouldn't say much when everyone was joking around, just focusing diligently on his lane.

But before Su Mo could think further, Meiko, Clearlove, and Scout all jumped up at the same time, huddling together in celebration.

Su Mo smiled. "It's just winning against RNG, is it really worth being this..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Meiko the Minotaur grabbed him and pulled him into the fray...

After being forced to celebrate with his teammates, Su Mo still hadn't received any Torment Points from RNG.

Logically, since he had typed "EZ" in the all-chat, they should have given him something.

Could it be that they didn't understand what "EZ" meant?

That shouldn't be the case; the term had been popular for a long time, even if League of Legends players used it sparingly.

Su Mo felt a bit disappointed.

Seeing Su Mo's disappointed face, Clearlove was a bit confused.

*Wait, we just won the match, why do you look disappointed?*

He patted Su Mo on the shoulder. "Mo, what are you dazing off for? It's time to go over and shake hands with RNG!"

"Oh, I almost forgot." Su Mo snapped out of it and followed the others toward the RNG area.

Clearlove led the way, with Su Mo trailing silently at the back.

Arriving at the RNG side, under the gaze of the cameramen, the EDG members wore unmistakable smiles as they shook hands with the five RNG players, starting with Clearlove.

However, while shaking hands, the RNG members didn't look anyone in the eye; instead, everyone's gaze drifted toward Su Mo at the back.

Seeing their eyes, Su Mo felt a sense of unease.

He tugged on Meiko's shirt in front of him and whispered, "No one's actually going to try to hit someone at a live match, right?"

Meiko paused, then flashed a smile. "Normally, no. But in your case... I really can't guarantee it."

Su Mo: "..."

The handshake process was quick. In a few seconds, it was Su Mo's turn.

He had no choice but to put on what he considered a sunny, kind, and friendly smile and walk up.

But for some reason, the murderous intent in the eyes of the RNG members became even more obvious.

Su Mo first shook hands with RNG's support, Xiao Ming. Although Xiao Ming was expressionless, he gave Su Mo a slight nod.

Next was Uzi.

While shaking hands, Uzi glared at Su Mo through gritted teeth. "That 'EZ' you sent at the end... what! does! it! mean!"

Those last few words were practically squeezed out through his teeth.

Judging by his expression, he clearly knew the meaning, but he couldn't believe it and wanted to confirm.

"Ahem," Su Mo cleared his throat, his innocent smile reappearing. He leaned into Uzi's ear and explained softly in a voice only Uzi could hear, "It's exactly what you think it is. It means 'easy'."

Upon hearing this, Uzi looked as if he had been struck by lightning, frozen in place.

Su Mo brushed past Uzi and quickly shook hands with MaLaXiangGuo, Xiaohu, and Letme, before sprinting away under their fierce glares.

Not far into his run, a notification popped up in his mind

[Obtained +200 Torment Points from Uzi]

Su Mo's face lit up with joy.

Generous!

Wz is indeed generous enough!

Meanwhile.

At the RNG desk, Uzi's chubby face suddenly turned bright red, the color spreading all the way to his ears like a ripe tomato.

MaLaXiangGuo leaned over and asked, "Wz, what did he just say to you?"

"..."
