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

The game has been going on for fourteen minutes.

Just as Mouse was about to head to the top lane after buying Tiamat at home, Li Yi stopped him: "A-Guang, go down now and help the bottom lane duo take down the first tower."

Mouse responded and then turned around.

Controlling the prince to follow the bottom lane minions to the lane, he ambushed in the bushes using the blind spots in vision.

When the enemy Karma made a positioning mistake, Mouse decisively used EQ to knock her up, and with the help of Braum and Caitlyn's crowd control, they killed her.

Without the support's protection, EZ was hit by another "Let the Bullets Fly" shot and was left with low health. Knowing that he could not defend the first tower, he had no choice but to retreat to the bushes near the second tower.

"Brother Yi, please give the next instruction!"

Seeing the bottom lane tower burn down the last group of blue team minions, Iboy headshot it and reported the result to Li Yi in voice chat.

Li Yi glanced at the minimap.

At this point, Kennen in the top lane had already chosen to recall. IG had obviously realized that the Rift Herald was about to spawn and was preparing to set up vision in advance to engage in a team fight with the Herald.

"The prince stays in the bottom lane to push the wave, you bot lane duo should bring your B-rank gear to top lane immediately."

"besides."

Li Yi opened the tab and pinged a control ward lying in Iboy's inventory twice.

"Iboy, this habit of yours is very bad."

  

"The opposing team's lineup has almost no direct engage potential, so they can only rely on Kennen flanking or Lee Sin to find opportunities. In this situation, you must buy all the control wards before team fights."

Iboy paused for a moment, the images of Kennen's "Thunderbolt" and Lee Sin's Insec kick flashing through his mind. He felt a chill run down his spine and realized that Li Yi's words made sense.

"Received, I'll send the replacement right away!"

Fourteen minutes have passed.

The female police officer, who had just destroyed the top tower, had arrived near the Baron pit and set up a row of traps at the entrances to the top lane and the river to ensure that the enemy could not squeeze in through this narrow passage.

"You guys pull the vanguard out to fight, I'll go find Kennen's position." Li Yi directed his teammates while throwing out a red card to deal with the backline minions and push the mid lane under the enemy tower.

After doing all this, [Destiny] shines again!

As the fog of war lifted, Li Yi accurately located Kennen, who was lying in ambush above the Dragon Pit.

The opponent's Flash is ready, and their ultimate is ready; they seem poised to find an opportunity to Flash into the dragon pit and activate their ultimate at any moment.

Having confirmed that Kennen was alone, Li Yi did not hesitate to choose to land next to him.

TheShy clearly hadn't expected anyone to dare come knocking on his door alone. The moment he saw the card land, he immediately activated his ultimate ability, [Secret Technique! Thunder Prison].

"LeeE has chosen another aggressive landing spot!"

"Twisted Fate chose to target Kennen alone, but Kennen's development is quite good!"

The moment the damage took effect, Li Yi reapplied the [Exhaust] debuff, which had been off cooldown, further reducing Kennen's burst damage by 40%.

Meanwhile, the red, yellow, and blue cards above the card's head circulated again, and Li Yi did not rush to make a move after drawing the yellow card.

Instead, Li Yi waited for Kennen's three-stack passive to trigger and for the stun effect to end before throwing out the yellow card, freezing Kennen in place as he activated his E skill [Ultimate! Thunder Armor] to pursue.

The scene shifts back to the main battlefield.

IG's lineup lacked initiation tools. Although Ezreal and Karma kept trying to poke, Braum blocked most of their attacks with his shield.

Seeing that no one was dealing with their own mid-lane minions, IG had no choice but to retreat, allowing EDG to take the Rift Herald.

Nineteenth minute.

After securing the Rift Herald, EDG used it to push down the mid-lane tower, forcing IG to compress vision control after losing all three of their towers.

At this moment, the policewoman, with her long arms, was able to firmly grasp control of the central route.

The bot lane prince, who was in charge of pushing the lanes, was also very disciplined. He only took the enemy's push lane and never crossed the river.

As for the top lane, although Li Yi pushed deep into the lane, no one from IG dared to gank him.

The reason is also very simple.

Mingkai, who was called in by Li Yi to provide escort, left behind a dense network of tunnels in the enemy's red jungle and his own blue jungle, resembling the subway lines in the old capital city of Beijing.

At this moment, Li Yi's yellow card can not only stun the target for two seconds, but also has the effect of summoning a minion: a Void Burrowing Beast will crawl out of the underground tunnel at any time.

"I'll have three items after clearing two more jungle camps, and I can easily win team fights." After clearing a wave of mid-lane jungle, Iboy went back into his red buff jungle.

Because IG's vision was restricted, Mingkai could freely invade the enemy's red jungle, leaving his own red jungle to Iboy, who needed to farm.

After clearing the F6 and Krugs again, Iboy completed the Infinity Edge, Rapid Firecannon, and Statikk Shiv in exactly 20 minutes.

"It has to be said that EDG's strength lies in their mid-game lane rotation and management," Guan Zeyuan remarked, looking at the widening curve on the economy panel.

Su Xiaoyan analyzed the lineups of both sides and said, "Actually, IG's lineup on the right is not very good at dealing with Caitlyn. Although Kennen is not bad in terms of development, EDG's vision control is too good. It is difficult for TheShy to find an opportunity to flank. We can only hope that Ning's Lee Sin can step up."

After returning home to replenish their equipment and add control wards, the EDG team grouped up and headed to the Baron pit.

Unlike the vanguard team's strategy, Li Yi did not choose to use [Fate] to find people again. Instead, he commanded Mouse, the Prince, to use his E skill [Demacian Standard] to scout bushes that might be flanking.

There are two approaches to card-based team battles.

The first approach is to take advantage of the R skill's ability to reveal vision, find a relatively safe flank position, and use the Wild Card and Yellow Card to constantly harass the opponent's carry.

The second approach is to stand next to your own AD carry during team fights, identify the enemy hero who wants to engage, and use a yellow card to lock down whoever comes.

In this game, his own AD carry was extremely ahead in development, so Li Yi naturally wouldn't risk going to the flanks anymore, but instead chose to act as a bodyguard for the AD carry.

This is from the IG team's in-game voice chat.

"If you think you're going to lose, then I'll go up and give it a try. I don't know who will come back, but it certainly won't be Brom."

Ning seized the moment when the vision disappeared from the Prince's E skill and moved to the top of the Baron pit. Using the last remaining vision left by the team's Far Sight modification, he locked onto the location of the female police officer.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan and Su Xiaoyan held their breath: "The Lee Sin has no vision in that position, and he hit Iboy's Caitlyn with his Q!"

The Heavenly Sound Wave accurately hit the policewoman!

The IG fans in the audience erupted in a long-suppressed gasp, as if a chance to turn the tide was right in front of them!

however.

The scene that the audience and commentators imagined—"the policewoman being touched in the eye and kicked back by the blind monk"—did not happen.

In the darkness, the magician, draped in a wide cloak, pulled out a yellow card, firmly immobilizing the blind monk during his Echo Shot.

"IG definitely didn't expect this! The moment Ning disappeared from sight, LeeE had already started drawing cards!" Guan Zeyuan excitedly raised his voice.

"Iboy uses E to create distance first, then follows up with a trap; two consecutive headshots are damage that Lee Sin can't withstand!"

"With the Lee Sin down, the Clearlove easily secured the Baron!"
