Chapter 981 Opportunity
Chapter 981 Opportunity
"Keep pushing forward, seize this opportunity!" Xu Mo quickly commanded, leading his teammates to push forward to the middle lane. After several waves of team battles, Xu Mo's Jie gradually grew into the core of the team, and his output continued to increase.
However, Doinb did not give up easily. With his rich experience, he began to look for opportunities to counterattack. In several team battles, Doinb's Azir used his skills to kill Xu Mo's Zed, causing the situation to become stalemate again.
"Don't be anxious, stay calm, and keep your mind steady." Xu Mo kept reminding himself, secretly analyzing Doinb's playing style in his mind. He knew that Doinb was good at using vision and teamwork, so he had to be more careful.
"We need to find opportunities to fight in a team and can't be led by him." The factory manager concluded, with the flame of battle flashing in his eyes.
"I'll be the vanguard and attract their attention." Meiko volunteered, ready to create opportunities for the team.
"Okay, after you attract the firepower, I will follow quickly." Xu Mo nodded in response, silently planning the next move in his mind.
The game entered a white-hot stage, the economic gap between the two sides gradually narrowed, and the outcome of the team battle would directly affect the direction of the game. Xu Mo and his teammates carefully controlled the field of view, looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Finally, in a team battle, Meiko successfully attracted Doinb's firepower. Xu Mo seized the opportunity, quickly broke through the enemy line, used "Shadow Slash" to cut into the enemy's back row, and approached Doinb directly.
"Die!" Xu Mo gritted his teeth, his fingers tapping the keyboard rapidly. The combo of skills was as smooth as flowing water, instantly killing Doinb's Azir, and the situation of the team battle was instantly reversed.
"Good job, Brother Mo!" The voices of the factory manager and Meiko rang out in the headphones, their excitement evident in words.
"Keep pushing forward and destroy the crystal!" Xu Mo was full of fighting spirit and led his teammates to attack the enemy crystal.
After a fierce fight, Xu Mo's Zed showed amazing output in the team battle and finally helped the team win. The word "Victory" was displayed on the screen, and Xu Mo was excited, as if all the pressure and fatigue disappeared in an instant.
"Brother Mo, you are awesome!" Meiko said excitedly with a bright smile on her face.
"This game was really exciting." Xu Mo smiled slightly, secretly glad that he could grow in such a game.
"Let's do it again in the next round?" the factory manager suggested, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.
"Of course, continue the challenge!" Xu Mo answered firmly, his eyes full of anticipation for future competitions.
After a short break, the second round of the qualifying match started. This time, Xu Mo and his team were matched with other main players from Doinb's FPX team, with Doinb still in the middle lane.
"Oh, old rivals meet again." The factory manager chuckled, "It seems Doinb wants to get back at his old self."
"That depends on whether he has the ability to do so." Xu Mo moved his fingers, his eyes sharp.
Entering the hero selection interface, the opponent banned Jie without hesitation right from the start.
"It's to be expected." Meiko shrugged. "The last time Mo Ge played Zed, he left a deep impression on them."
"It's okay, the hero pool is bottomless." Xu Mo smiled confidently. Since the opponent was targeting him, he would change his tactics.
When it was Xu Mo's turn to choose, he thought for a moment and locked on a hero that surprised his teammates - "LeBlanc, the Deceiver".
"Wow, Brother Mo is going to show off his skills?" The factory manager's eyes lit up, "Enchantress is one of your specialties, but you haven't played it much recently."
"Doinb likes to roam and provide support. Ahri's burst and mobility can restrict him very well and give him unexpected 'surprises'." Xu Mo explained with a cunning smile on his face.
Doinb probably didn't expect Xu Mo to pick LeBlanc. After a slight pause, he chose a relatively stable "Clockwork Mage - Orianna", trying to use the stability of pushing lanes and team battles to counter LeBlanc's agility.
The game is loading and the lineups of both teams are determined.
"Doinb chose Clockwork in this game, which will put a lot of pressure on the laning phase, and LeBlanc will not have an advantage in the early game." The factory manager reminded.
"I know, I will find an opportunity." Xu Mo responded calmly.
At the beginning of the game, Xu Mo's Leblanc roamed flexibly in the middle lane. Orianna took advantage of her long reach and used her Q skill "Command: Attack" to continuously consume the health of the minions and Leblanc. Xu Mo was not impatient, and calmly made up for every knife, while at the same time observing Doinb's positioning and skill release habits.
"Doinb's suppression is still so strong," Meiko said, looking at the mid lane, "He is very careful and doesn't give Mo Ge the opportunity to W up."
Xu Mo did not respond, his full attention was on the screen. At level 3, Yao Ji had three skills, QWE, and a small burst. Doinb seemed to have sensed the danger and controlled the ball more cautiously.
Suddenly, Xu Mo seized the moment when Doinb went forward to kill a cannon soldier, and used his W skill "Shadow Trace" to step on Orianna's face. His Q skill "Malice Mark" hit her accurately, and then he used his E skill "Phantom Chains"!
"Beautiful!" the factory manager exclaimed.
Doinb reacted very quickly, and almost at the moment when the W of the enchantress came up, he surrendered the shield E skill and moved backwards at the same time. But Xu Mo's chain predicted his movement and tied him up accurately!
The second stage of E's imprisonment was triggered, and Xu Mo followed up with a basic attack, detonating the Q skill mark. A set of smooth operations directly reduced Orianna to half health, forcing Doinb to flash.
"Nice! Brother Mo seized this opportunity very well!" Meiko said excitedly.
"This is just the beginning." Xu Mo smiled faintly, pushed the troops into the opponent's tower, and chose to return to the city for supplies.
Back on the line again, Xu Mo's Ahri began to take the initiative gradually with the advantage of equipment and the psychological advantage he had gained. He used the flexibility of his W skill to constantly harass Doinb, sometimes using his real body to consume him, and sometimes using his shadow to confuse his opponent. Doinb was annoyed and began to make mistakes in last-hitting.
"Doinb is a little too excited. He wants to kill you alone." The factory manager observed the situation.
As expected, Doinb seized the opportunity when Xu Mo used W to clear the minions and directly flashed R "Command: Shock Wave", trying to pull Ahri back and cooperate with the defense tower to kill her.
"Be careful!" Meiko exclaimed.
Xu Mo's eyes focused, and he pressed his flash almost at the moment when Orianna's R flashed, barely avoiding the edge of Clockwork's ultimate. At the same time, at the moment of flash landing, he used a QRW combo to instantly kill Orianna, whose health was not enough, in front of the tower!
"Solo kill! Mo Ge has killed Doinb again!" Factory Manager shouted excitedly, "This reaction speed, this hand speed, is simply inhuman!"
"He wanted to kill me so badly that he exposed his flaws." Xu Mo's tone remained calm, but his eyes were full of confidence.
After killing Doinb, Xu Mo's Leblanc took off completely. He began to roam around, using Leblanc's high mobility and burst to cooperate with Zz1tai's jungler to invade the opponent's jungle area or support the side lanes.
In the top lane, the opponent's top laner was suppressing his own top laner. Xu Mo's Ahri appeared from the river grass like a ghost, and with a set of skills cooperating with his own top laner, he easily took away the opponent's top laner.
In the bottom lane, Meiko's support and ADC were fighting fiercely with the opponent. Xu Mo's Ahri directly used the W skill to step on the opponent's face, and QR instantly crippled the opponent's ADC, helping the bottom lane to establish an advantage.
"Mo Ge's Ahri is so elusive! The FPX players must be having PTSD just seeing Sombra!" Meiko said with a smile.
"Doinb's Clockwork is restricted in the middle lane and can't move at all. If he moves, the middle tower will fall." The factory manager analyzed.
By the middle of the game, Xu Mo's equipment was already very luxurious, with a hat and magic penetration stick in hand, and he could kill almost anyone he saw. The FPX players began to group together, trying to make up for the disadvantage through team battles.
In a team fight for the little dragon, FPX's formation was very well pulled together, and Doinb's Clockwork was holding on to his ultimate, looking for an opportunity.
"They want to kill me in seconds." Xu Mo keenly sensed the other party's intention.
When the teamfight broke out, the opponent's support and jungler rushed towards Xu Mo's Ahri. Xu Mo was not in a hurry, and used his W skill to move to the side to avoid the key control, then turned around and accurately hit the opponent's ADC with a QR, instantly crippling him.
Seeing this, Doinb decisively used his ultimate to control Leblanc and his frontline. Xu Mo calmly pressed the golden body, perfectly avoiding Clockwork's ultimate and subsequent damage.
The moment the golden body ended, Xu Mo used the W skill to return to the original position, used the E skill to lock Doinb who was trying to escape, and killed him instantly with another set of skills.
"Double kill! Brother Mo's enchantress is too terrifying!"
"Doinb will probably be traumatized by this."
FPX, which lost its core output and control, was defeated. Xu Mo led the team to easily take down the little dragon and pushed down the middle lane high ground.
"Wave after wave!" Xu Mo commanded.
Relying on the huge economic advantage and equipment crush, Xu Mo's team ended the game with a crushing victory.
The word "Victory" popped up on the screen again.
"Brother Mo, your LeBron is even worse than Jie!" Meiko exclaimed, "Doinb is doomed to meet you today."
The factory manager was also impressed: "You beat Doinb twice in a row with different heroes. You are in great shape."
Xu Mo took off his headphones, rubbed his wrists, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face: "It feels good. It's mainly because Doinb's style is more aggressive, which makes it easy to give him opportunities."
He paused, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes: "However, being able to play against such a top player can indeed help me learn a lot, and it can also force me to be in better shape."
"Of course, it's fun to see masters fighting each other!" The factory manager said with a smile, "How about it, Brother Mo, do you want to play again and see if you can win three games in a row?"
Xu Mo picked up the can on the table and took another sip. The cool sweetness slid down his throat again, dispelling some of the fatigue after the fierce battle. He looked at his and his teammates' IDs on the screen, feeling the long-lost pure joy and passion.
"Of course," Xu Mo raised his confident smile again, "Challenges never end!"
The matchmaking queue didn't take them too long. When the hero selection screen lit up and the IDs of teammates appeared one by one, Meiko suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my god! Uzi! It's Uzi!"
The factory manager also came over to take a look and said, "It's true! The bottom lane is secure this time!"
Xu Mo's heart also moved slightly. Uzi, the ADC who was famous for his extreme laning suppression and A-ing in team battles, could undoubtedly be put on the same side with him, which would be a huge help.
However, when the opposing IDs were revealed one by one, the ID in the middle lane made the entire training room quiet for a moment.
"Hide on bush..." The factory manager murmured the ID, his voice trembling with disbelief, "Is... is it Faker?"
Xu Mo's heart skipped a beat. Faker, Lee Sang-hyuk, the recognized No. 1 player in the history of League of Legends, the triple champion, the nightmare and faith of countless mid-lane players. Meeting him in the ranking is a great honor and an extreme challenge.
"This...this is exciting." Meiko took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement and nervousness.
"Brother Mo, the pressure is coming to you!" The factory director patted Xu Mo's shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of joking expectation.
Xu Mo didn't say anything, just stared at the screen silently. Faker, this name is like a mountain, but at this moment, what burned in his heart was not fear, but a stronger fighting spirit. He knew that this would be a game that would be engraved in his memory.
During the ban and pick phase, both teams tacitly agreed not to target each other's signature heroes. When it was Xu Mo's turn to choose, he almost didn't hesitate and locked onto "Shadow Lord·Zed" again.
"Is it still Zed?" Meiko was a little surprised. "The opponent is Faker. Will he pick a counter to you?"
"If we are timid just because our opponent is Faker, then we will lose this game from the beginning." Xu Mo said calmly, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife. "Besides, I just want to use Zed to fight him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mid-lane hero on the opposite side of Faker was also revealed - "LeBlanc, the Deceiver".
There was an uproar.
Zed vs. LeBlanc is a classic assassin duel, and one of the most challenging matches in terms of skills and details. Faker's LeBlanc is famous for her elusive and terrifying dominance.
"Oh my God, this is Mars hitting the Earth!" The factory director rubbed his hands excitedly.
Uzi typed in the team channel: "Come on mid lane, I'm the carry now." Concise and confident, as always, Uzi's style.
Xu Mo responded: "Don't worry, keep the middle stable."
The game loading interface shows the lineups of both teams.
Xu Mofang: Top lane (chosen by teammates, such as Ornn), Jungle (Ziyi - Lee Sin), Mid lane (Xu Mo - Zed), ADC (Uzi - Caitlyn), Support (Meiko - Lulu).
Faker's side: top laner (such as Kennen), jungler (such as Elise), mid laner (Faker-Enchantress), ADC (such as Xayah), support (such as Rakan).
From the lineup, Xu Mo has Uzi's Caitlyn as a late-game support, while Faker's LeBron has a strong ability to drive the mid-game rhythm. The key to victory or defeat depends largely on whether Xu Mo can withstand Faker's pressure in the middle lane and even open up the situation.
Games start.
Xu Mo took a deep breath, quickly bought Doran's Blade and a bottle of red medicine, and ran to the middle lane. He knew that he couldn't relax for a second when facing Faker's Leblanc.
Faker's Ahri moved very flexibly after coming online, constantly harassing Xu Mo with her normal attacks and Q skill "Evil Seal" to last hit. Xu Mo was fully focused, using Zed's Q skill "Shadow Secret! Blades" to ensure last hits while also trying to consume Ahri's health. (End of this chapter)
