LOL: What does "mid-lane hybrid expert" mean?

After securing the Herald's Eye, EDG pushed down the mid-lane tower.

The two duos on both sides also moved to the middle lane.

The female police officer, who had already developed three items including the electric blade and the cannon, firmly stood in the mid lane, forcing the enemy bottom laner to take back the pushed lane.

Although Bengi still managed to create a few opportunities on the sidelines through his individual skill, EDG was not afraid of trading kills at this point.

After all, the vision loss caused by the fall of the mid tower meant that even with fewer players, VG wouldn't dare to push too far into the lane. And if VG lost a point, it would further compress jungle resources and vision.

The time has reached 30 minutes.

Meiko opened the tab and found that everyone except the mid laner was ahead of the opponent by a major item: "I guess the economic advantage is at least 10,000? This game should be in the bag."

"I don't think so..." Li Yi glanced at the black and white team logo on his chest and said casually.

"How about we force a team fight at Baron? This game feels boring," Iboy suggested. The opposing team was taking advantage of their fast wave clear, and EDG's minions were unable to push down the high ground.

"No, no, no..."

  

Li Yi quickly rejected the idea.

It's not that he lacks confidence in EDG's team fights.

The opponent's lineup has too many AOE crowd control abilities, making it easy to create miraculous team fights.

If Baron Nashor decides to don the VG jersey and unleash a combo that knocks up the entire EDG team, combined with VG's teamfight composition, they could very well replicate the disastrous 10,000 gold comeback defeat.

Why risk taking the dragon when you can whittle down the opponent's health by split pushing?

"We can see from God's perspective that Bengi has actually been lurking in EDG's red buff area the whole time. If EDG rashly starts Baron, it will be risky."

Miller, watching from the commentary booth, sighed.

"But EDG didn't even consider taking Baron Nashor, which I think is fine. We'll approach the first game of the BO5 with the utmost caution and secure a point first."

"If EDG isn't in a hurry, then VG must be!"

urgent!

in a hurry!

Easyhoon and Bengi were both covered in sweat.

They had played against EDG in the Spring Split before. Although they were at a significant disadvantage in the early game, they were always able to seize many opportunities in the mid and late game.

When you don't know what to do... just go and catch a bunch of Scouts who are obsessed with eating the side lanes!

But EDG displayed a discipline they had never seen before; only Aodi's Camille could be seen pushing lanes on the map. Whenever VG tried to gank Camille, Galio's ultimate would arrive in time, stalling the team fight until the rest of the team could finish it off.

The game has been going on for 36 minutes.

Bengi, who was still thinking about farming jungle camps, was ambushed by Li Yi, who, together with Clearlove, severely damaged him. Although Kha'Zix escaped with two stealth abilities, the 30-second gap during his recall to base was enough for EDG to secure Baron Nashor.

VG's lineup lacks a support like Braum who can provide vision, and Zyra, a squishy mage support, is practically committing suicide by scouting bushes. Therefore, they can only rely on Jarvan IV's E flag vision to sneak towards the Baron pit.

With this delay, EDG was able to escape unscathed with the Baron buff.

VG tried to keep some EDG players in the game, but the pressure from their own minion waves was too great, forcing them to retreat to base in frustration.

"With the minion waves from all three Baron buffs converging on the blue side's Nexus, congratulations to EDG for winning their first game of the Demacia Cup knockout stage!"

"Dear viewers, which player do you think performed the best in this match? Please type your MVP in the comments!"

Wawa cleared his throat: "I'm definitely giving my vote to the returning Clearlove. Whether it's early-game ganks or mid-to-late-game resource control, Clearlove has done an outstanding job."

Miller hesitated for a moment: "I'm actually thinking of giving my vote to the rookie mid laner LeeE."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

The doll was quite surprised.

"Let's take a look at the highlights from the broadcast. LeeE was involved in almost all of the plays that allowed EDG to gain an advantage. For a rookie mid laner to achieve a 93% teamfight participation rate against Easyhoon is something I think deserves encouragement."

These words were spoken.

Inside the official live stream of the event.

"???" came like a tidal wave.

[The MVP will definitely be Clearlove, who plays with incredible speed and rhythm.]

Iboy's late-game damage output was also quite good.

[It's understandable that Aodi could gain an advantage by split pushing.]

[Holy crap, who is LeeE?]

To be honest, the teamfight participation rate data should be taken with a grain of salt. Galio can just use his ultimate on teammates to get assists in teamfights, so it's not very convincing.

[The commentators are still bragging about a 90% win rate in Master tier games? I bet they're just getting carried in ranked matches!]

Now that you mention it, I remember there's a streamer on a certain platform who teaches people how to easily gain points, and I think he has the same name.

[Shouldn't an MVP at least have an advantage in their lane? Easyhoon's damage output was almost twice that of LeeE, and with EDG leading by 10,000 gold, LeeE's gold deficit against his laner was only -1.5K?]

[This is how pork offal is explained!]

[This is how the "god-making" competition works: giving MVP to a complete slacker like this is blatantly creating a new god.]

[Then I think we should just keep idolizing Uzi; at least Uzi doesn't have any problems in the laning phase...]

-----------------

"You won a Demacia Cup main event match against VG using the Colossus of Justice. You had 1 highlight plays in this game and ranked 4th in the team. Reward: 50 points"

"The majority of viewers believe you won by default. Humanitarian aid is being issued: 1 Free Attribute Point."

"call!"

Backstage in the lounge, Li Yi looked at the large reward he had just received and breathed a sigh of relief.

Miller, you old codger with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you tried to mislead the audience, almost leading them astray!

Li Yi doesn't think he played particularly well in this game. It was purely because the opposing team had two Korean players in the mid and jungle, and their communication with the team as a whole was very poor, which allowed him to frequently find opportunities.

If it's a well-coordinated team, they can easily exploit the weaknesses in Li Yi's self-destructive roaming style. Of course, Li Yi wouldn't choose this playstyle against such a team.

But from the audience's perspective...

Li Yi was completely suppressed from the laning phase onwards, and was virtually silent in team fights. His only somewhat impressive counter-engage was overshadowed by Clearlove's subsequent actions.

The word "mix".

That was the initial impression Li Yi left on the audience.

Inside the meeting room, Coach Nofe summarized the first game: "I think everyone played well. There's not much to say about the next game; just keep up this pace."

"When you're split pushing in the mid-to-late game, you should listen to Li Yi's commands. He has a great understanding of late-game resource management."

"Received!" ×4

Although the coach cannot direct the game from the field, he can hear the communication between the players.

He had reminded everyone more than once to manage the minion waves before the late-game resource team fights, but commander Meiko made a blunder, while the newcomer LeeE executed it perfectly.

"Seriously, Yi-ge, your laning phase is terrifying. Every time I see you, you're way behind in CS, so I'm almost afraid to switch screens to look at the mid lane."

After easily winning the first game, the atmosphere within the EDG team was clearly very good, and Iboy even joked with Li Yi, which is quite rare for him.

"Hey, I'm not happy with what you're saying! Coach, next game, give me a carry!"

"I was just kidding, bro. If the enemy doesn't ban Galio, you should keep picking him."
