Chapter 29: Uzi's Mental Breakdown! What kind of thing can be this tanky?

The Factory Director's attitude toward Su Mo left Meiko somewhat surprised, and even a little jealous.

He had been teammates with the Factory Director for so many years, yet he had never seen the Director speak to him with such kindness and politeness.

But when it came to Su Mo, whatever Su Mo said, the Factory Director would agree to do.

Without even a second of thought.

He would even do things like placing a ward just to help Karma flank...

"Mingkai, are you joining in on the nonsense too? RNG's tower isn't that easy to dive," Meiko said helplessly. "We have an advantage right now, but it's not huge. Let's play it steady."

Before the Factory Director could speak, Su Mo interjected: "Steady? Steady my foot! Opportunities are fleeting. Camille hasn't even hit level six yet, and their mid laner, Galio, has no Flash. If we don't fight now, when will we? If you ask me, Meiko, you're just as spineless as the Director, only thinking about playing defensively."

Factory Director:?

【Obtained +10 Torture Points from Factory Director】

Wait, if you're going to lecture Meiko, why are you dragging me into this?!

Though feeling somewhat aggrieved, the Factory Director did not argue, fearing that Su Mo would shift his fire onto him.

It was better to just sit back and watch the show.

Su Mo continued: "Brother Meiko, let me tell you, as professional players, if we lack the courage to take the initiative while we have an advantage, what's the point of living? You might as well retire early and go make a living selling meat floss biscuits on a livestream, or..."

*Buzz, buzz, buzz...*

*Buzz, buzz, buzz...*

At this moment, Meiko felt his brain falling into chaos; the entire world seemed to consist of nothing but this buzzing sound.

"Stop, stop, stop!" He could no longer endure it and hurriedly interrupted. "I'll listen to you, okay? I'll listen to you, just please stop lecturing me!"

【Obtained +30 Torture Points from Meiko】

Meiko felt a bitterness in his heart.

He was, after all, one of the veterans of EDG!

And Su Mo, a mere substitute top laner, not only lacked any respect for him but was now pointing fingers and lecturing him.

It was a complete reversal of the natural order!

However, once he thought about how Su Mo even dared to talk trash to the Factory Director, Meiko felt somewhat relieved.

In the EDG rest area, Aguang, who had a headset placed on him by Abu, had a strange expression on his face.

*So the Factory Director and Meiko have such good tempers? Su Mo talks to them like that and they don't even get angry.*

*Hmm, I'll try that later!*

Thinking about the scene of the Factory Director and Meiko begging for mercy after he scolded them, Aguang couldn't help but chuckle.

...

Meanwhile, in the game, the Factory Director's Lee Sin had already crossed the river to the bottom side, placing his only Control Ward in the triangular brush to the side of RNG's bottom tier-1 tower.

With the ward in place, they could confirm the enemy had no vision there.

"Xiao Mo, I've placed the ward. Are we really going to dive?" the Factory Director asked.

Su Mo glanced at Camille's status and nodded. "Of course. First, help the bot lane push the wave through. Once the wave is in, I'll TP in immediately. Scout, you get ready to move toward bot as well."

Actually, Su Mo hadn't intended to cause trouble in other lanes at first, but Letme seemed to have become accustomed to being tormented, providing fewer and fewer Torture Points.

At first, he would give twenty points for a bit of torment, but now he only gave five points at a time.

Su Mo was no longer satisfied.

Since they had a significant advantage right now, he might as well go bot to fleece Uzi or Nidalee.

Both of them were hot-tempered players, meaning they would provide very generous Torture Points.

Under Su Mo's direction, the Factory Director feigned a gank on the bot lane. After scaring off RNG's Caitlyn and Thresh, he helped his teammates push the wave aggressively.

However, very few professional players were simpletons.

To them, the Factory Director's behavior was a blatant signal of an impending tower dive.

Since the Dragon was not up and there were no resources available, the purpose of pushing the wave could only be one thing.

Uzi glanced at Lee Sin and narrowed his eyes. "香锅 (Xiangguo), 小虎 (Xiao Hu), watch the bot lane for support. If they dare to dive, we'll outplay them."

Xiao Hu hesitated and said, "Wuji, maybe we should just give up the tier-1 tower? My Galio has no Flash, and Letme's TP isn't up yet. If a fight breaks out, it'll be a four-on-five."

Hearing this, Uzi snorted coldly. "My tower is still at full health. Giving it up is out of the question. So what if they have one more person? Don't worry, I can outplay them."

"This... alright then." Xiao Hu could only agree helplessly.

As RNG's star player, Uzi's authority was even greater than the coach's.

No one dared to disobey his commands.

After communication between the two teams, undercurrents began to surge in Summoner's Rift.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan said with great interest

"Both teams' mid and jungle are moving toward the bot lane. It looks like EDG wants to force a fight."

"But the game is only ten minutes in. Isn't diving the tower a bit too risky? This doesn't seem like EDG's style."

"Or is EDG just making a feint?"

The answer to this question came quickly from Karma.

Just as EDG's bot lane wave entered the tower under the cover of Lee Sin, Braum, and Ashe, the Control Ward in the triangular brush next to RNG's tier-1 tower was spotted by the approaching Nidalee.

But just as Nidalee landed an auto-attack, a blue portal suddenly appeared over the ward.

It was a Teleport!

"Huh? Karma is TPing in already?" Guan Zeyuan was stunned. "If he TPs to this position, he'll likely be instantly focused down and killed by RNG. That's just giving it away!"

As Guan Zeyuan suggested, RNG indeed had that intention.

"Focus Karma first! Focus Karma first!"

Uzi shouted, placing Caitlyn's W trap under the ward.

Thresh and Nidalee were also on high alert, waiting for Karma's arrival.

A few seconds later, the teleportation circle flashed, and Karma's figure appeared out of thin air.

Thresh pressed his Q, his chain flying toward Karma.

Simultaneously, Nidalee's Q spear flew out.

Trapped by Caitlyn's W the moment she landed, Karma was unable to move, and all the skills landed on her.

Nidalee, Caitlyn, and Thresh unleashed a burst of damage.

However, two seconds later, the three members of RNG, having exhausted their skill rotations, fell into a state of contemplation as they looked at the Karma who still had one-third of her health remaining.

Uzi, in particular, felt like questioning his very existence as he watched his Caitlyn's auto-attack deal only 38 damage to Karma.

Although his Caitlyn only had a pair of Berserker's Boots and hadn't returned to base to buy items yet...

It shouldn't be this much like "scratching an itch"!

"What kind of thing is this? How can a Karma be this tanky?"

Uzi couldn't help but voice his doubt.

However, the only answer he received was Karma's R and W. With only one-third health left, Karma used her empowered W to pull Caitlyn, healed herself, and then immediately flashed behind Caitlyn to prevent her from escaping.

At the same time, the EDG players rushed in.

Zet's Ashe fired a W to slow Thresh, and Meiko, seizing the opportunity, used Q-Flash to try and hit Caitlyn.

Uzi reacted quickly, flashing to dodge Braum's Q, but in the next second, he was rooted in place by Karma's second W.

"Xiao Hu, help me, quick!"

Uzi screamed.

The arriving Xiao Hu hurriedly cast Galio's ultimate, and Galio leaped into the sky.

But before the ultimate could even land, Caitlyn was instantly deleted by Lee Sin's straightforward Q-Q-E-R combo.

The Thresh behind her was also shot dead by Ashe under the tower.

*Boom!*

With a loud crash, Galio descended from the sky.

Upon landing, Xiao Hu looked at the two corpses under the tower and then at Nidalee, who was still at full health but was being chased into the jungle by a Karma with only two hundred health left. He fell into a deep silence.

Two words immediately popped into his mind

"It's over!"
