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

I've been following this streamer for half a month, and this is the first time I've seen them lose so badly.

The boss's strategy was sound; it's just that the streamer is too unskilled to produce effective results.

[The boss really paid to suffer; he's gone up on stage to get yelled at.]

[Lucian: Is nobody speaking up for me?]

[Hey streamer, another Lucian player is swearing at you in the chat. Need me to translate?]

After the match ended, Li Yi didn't rush to close the game.

Instead, they quietly downloaded the replay of the game.

"No matter which lane you play, I think you need to understand the most fundamental logic of League of Legends—that is, 'play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses,'" Li Yi said to the chat while waiting for the replay to finish downloading.

"That is, do more during your period of strength and reduce mistakes and errors during your period of weakness."

Li Yi opened the video replay and fast-forwarded to about ten minutes into the middle lane.

"Take Galio, the champion I play most often, for example. This champion is strong in wave clear and roaming, and he won't be at a disadvantage against most AP mid laners. The downside is that he can't gain an advantage just by laning, and his short range makes him easy to target in the late game."

"The opponent's chosen hero, Corki, the Valiant Bombardier, combines early-game lane pushing ability with late-game game-taking ability, and also has a missile pack mechanic that is very suitable for the important Vanguard team in this version."

"Heroes like this, who have no obvious weaknesses in any aspect, are what we call 'meta heroes.' I predict that Corki will have a high pick rate in the Summer Split."

"Of course."

Li Yi changed the subject.

"This hero isn't without weaknesses either."

"In the early stages, the aircraft does not have the ability to maneuver, and because it lacks control skills, it is somewhat vulnerable to small-scale collisions."

"Furthermore, as a late-game turret, the plane is somewhat dependent on vision control. In team fights without vision, it's possible to lose half of its damage output."

Li Yi's mouth was getting dry from talking, so he picked up his water glass and took a couple of sips.

"So how should we play?"

"From level one onwards, you need to stabilize your health and roam whenever you find an opportunity. Regardless of whether you can catch them or not, the enemy side laner knows that the Corki can't provide support, so as long as we disappear from the mid lane, their laning pressure will naturally increase."

"At the same time, try not to get into team fights where the plane has the explosives. During the window of opportunity when the plane doesn't have the explosives, call your teammates to position themselves and set up vision."

"You lost a Master tier game on the Korean server using the Colossus. You have completed the replay of the game and identified 4 key mistakes. Reward: 20 points"

"Alright, that's about it for today's live stream."

I glanced at the time; it was already midnight.

Because he didn't take care of his health in his previous life and stayed up all night every day, he eventually died suddenly. In this life, Li Yi is quite concerned about his health and lifestyle.

"White fans, I wish you sweet dreams of the streamer. Haters, you should get some rest too, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have the energy to criticize me during the finals the day after tomorrow."

Li Yi turned off the live streaming plugin and stretched.

Open the private message.

"Jiaotong University's Most Affectionate Student" sent him a message: "Dear teacher, do you have copyright authorization for your live stream recordings? I'd like to edit some and upload them to a certain website, which would also be a way to promote you."

Ok?

Li Yi was stunned for a moment.

After his rebirth, he hadn't really thought about this point carefully.

Although the concept of "live stream slices" only emerged around 2022, many streamers already had similar ideas and practices by then.

For example, streamers who teach heroes often insert a long highlight reel of their ranked games at the beginning of their videos; another example is the very popular "Miss Ranked Diary," which contains a lot of footage from her daily streams.

Why was TheShy so popular even before his official debut? This is largely thanks to bloggers who specialize in watching Korean ranked games and have edited together many of his highlight plays in ranked games.

Thinking about this...

Li Yi replied: Authorized, remember to cut it well.

Wow, there's even a wild slicer!

Although Li Yi still remembers Xuan Shen's inexplicable madness and killing of the slicer, he has to say that most streamers are still clear-headed.

The relationship between video editors and live streamers is essentially one of mutual benefit and symbiosis.

A typical example is Da Sima, a streamer on Douyu, who attracted a large amount of traffic by creating parody videos of bloggers such as "Yinyou Da Sima" and "Artist Ackerman".

Forget about charging the slicers copyright fees; it's entirely possible that the streamer would pay the slicers a salary.

Not long after.

The most affectionate reply from Jiaotong University: Loyalty!

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

Early the next morning.

In order to avoid being fined by Abu, who was accompanying the supervisor.

As soon as the alarm rang, Li Yi forced himself to get up, instead of sitting on the bed in a daze as usual.

A message popped up in the group chat: "Meet in the meeting room!"

Inside the meeting room, Coach Nofe was speaking quietly to the team's translator, repeatedly urging him to ensure that today's pre-match analysis was translated accurately.

Since being promoted to the first team, this was the first time Li Yi had seen such a formal pre-match analysis. Although there was a similar session in the previous two matches, it was mostly just a few rounds of verbal instructions.

Not just the EDG players.

Coach Nofe was well aware of how difficult this final would be.

Although the first two rounds of the knockout stage went relatively smoothly, ultimately, both VG and IG are teams with obvious weaknesses.

VG needs little introduction; their bot lane is a major liability, and the mid and jungle only communicate in Korean, causing teammates to completely fall behind. That said, if they were truly strong, this team wouldn't have been relegated.

While IG is stronger overall, their problem lies in their bot lane's inability to step up, with the team relying too heavily on the mid and top laners for damage. Furthermore, TheShy's lack of experience in the top lane, being a newcomer to the competitive scene, naturally makes him a significant weak point.

"But RNG is different!"

Coach Nofe's words fell heavily.

The translation was also very professional; it not only accurately conveyed the meaning but also captured Coach Nofe's anxious emotions.

"I believe you can see from our encounters in the Spring Split that this RNG team is stronger than us in terms of version adaptation and tactical coordination, and has almost no weaknesses."

Yes, in the only two "Pig vs. Dog" matches in the Spring Split, EDG suffered heavy defeats.

The team suffered a crushing 0-2 defeat in the regular season, with Uzi breaking through in the bottom lane. The blame could be shifted to Zet, who had just transitioned from mid lane to AD carry.

However, in the playoffs, with version updates, the game pace became more focused on early and mid-game skirmishes and fast-paced offense, which was less favorable for EDG, who favored late-game strategy.

The thing that Coach Nofe was most worried about has finally happened.

In the BO5 match where EDG was eliminated in the semifinals with a score of 1-3, Uzi didn't even have to exert himself, and RNG won the game with their fast-paced mid-jungle offense.

"I have three main points to make regarding the final."

"The first point is communication!"

Nofe turned around and wrote the word "communication" on the whiteboard in somewhat broken Chinese.

Why did we lose in the Spring Split?

"The reason why the opposing jungler Mlxg can gank successfully every time is not only because his starvation playstyle is difficult to defend against, but also because they communicate a lot within their team."

"Every lane is reporting whether the enemy has used their skills and what their status is, and the jungler is also informing his teammates of his jungle clearing time. I've never seen this kind of communication in EDG, at least not in the Spring Split."

"Of course, you can make an excuse that Scout and Zet don't speak the same language and can't communicate these details."

"But now, you are also an all-Chinese team! I hope you can also do a good job of communication!"
