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

"Meiko bought a Redemption item first!"

The circular beam of light landed precisely in the center of the prince's ultimate ability.

Even though Mlxg reacted extremely quickly and immediately manually canceled the terrain barrier of [Cataclysm], the damage from Redemption had already been dealt to Kled and Jarvan IV in the circle.

Meanwhile, Nightmare, who was already low on health, and Clockwork, who was on the verge of death, were given a boost of health through Redemption.

Meiko Lulu arrived shortly after, raising her staff high—the "Grow Bigger Quickly" spell fell, raising LeeE's Clockwerk's health back to a safe level, while simultaneously knocking away the nearby Jarvan IV and Kled.

"This redemption is crucial!"

Remember to start by quickly explaining the situation on the field.

"RNG's top, mid, and jungle could have quickly killed Orianna and retreated, but Redemption landed just in time to heal Orianna, allowing her to hold on until her teammates arrived to support!"

"The situation has completely reversed! Now it's RNG's top and jungle that are in danger... Mouse's Maokai didn't hesitate and immediately flashed to grab Kled. Jarvan IV was also slowed down by Lulu, so it seems he's not going to flash either."

Seeing his teammates fall one after another, Xiaohu's Ryze had no choice but to retreat again to save his life.

  

Why does this script feel so familiar?

Xiaohu recalled the two small-scale team fights. Both times, RNG took the initiative and had a numerical advantage, so why did he end up being the only one who had to flee in panic?

The possible comments and posts after the match flashed through my mind.

Some of the team's extreme fans will probably take screenshots of his retreat and add titles like "Tiger is such a noob, he sold out his teammates again," "Why didn't he turn around and fight back this time?" and "Why did he build an item like Rod of Ages that only provides tankiness and no damage?" Thinking about this, Xiaohu couldn't help but shudder.

Zero for three!

After a disastrous start, the rat team managed to take down Kalista and Kled, and their economy was now almost on par with Uzi's.

Meanwhile, Li Yi's murder book, which originally came with the murder ring at level four, quietly rose to level ten with the help of a kill and an assist.

"A question suddenly occurred to me."

The team fight has temporarily ended, and the EDG players are currently maneuvering around the Rift Herald. The two commentators in the commentary booth have also returned to their casual conversation.

"In this version of Lulu, the standard first item is Ardent Censer. But I think it makes sense for Meiko to choose Redemption first, because RNG's charge is too aggressive, and they need a defensive item to protect themselves."

"However, this might delay the onset of the rat's power spike, which would require another carry player to step up. But we know that Li Yi's style is more team-oriented..."

"I bet he'll get a new incense burner!"

Rita remained silent, only pointing at Li Yi's equipment slots.

Wow, Luden!

[The Cup King's Ether Essence was actually synthesized into Luden's Echo!]

Anyone who's watched Cup King's streams knows he has a typical argumentative personality. When the commentators said he was going to build Ardent Censer, he could only grit his teeth and switch to Luden's Echo, something he'd never built before.

This is a code conflict; the argumentative personality type has taken precedence over the eclectic personality type.

[If Cup King were just messing around with Xiaohu, that would be one thing, but Cup King pulled off this build, Xiaohu's probably going to get a lot of flak...]

[Am I the only one who thinks this makes sense? After all, Clockwerk can't use Ghost now and is easy to die, and Cup King is always pushing the more dangerous lane. Building Luden's Echo would save time clearing waves and make him faster...]

The situation on the field did not stop because of the audience's and the chat's rhythm. As EDG took the Herald, the nearly 2,000 gold difference that RNG had built up in the early game was almost wiped out.

After respawning, Mlxg took advantage of the fact that Twitch was recalling to base to replenish his equipment and that there was a temporary laning wave in the mid lane to secure the second dragon.

Why is RNG so fixated on this version of the dragon, which is considered rather weak?

The answer is yes.

They had nothing else to do.

Uzi and Ming, who switched lanes to the mid lane, gradually felt the increasing pressure in their lane.

EDG's bot lane duo has gradually caught up in level and equipment. Uzi can no longer exert pressure by crossing lanes as he did in the early laning phase. Instead, he has to stay under the tower when Thresh roams to place wards to avoid being ambushed by the invisible Twitch.

As for grabbing the edge line.

Looking at the trees piled high with armored gear, Mlxg admitted he had no appetite. Then he glanced at the other lane's Clockwerk...

Putting aside the fact that it's protected by Nightmare at all times, how come this thing moves so fast?

It's important to know that in Season 7, very few mage items were allocated to movement speed.

But at this moment, Li Yi's Orianna not only had a Mejai's Soulstealer stacked to ten layers, but also a Luden's Echo that could give 10% movement speed.

As soon as Mlxg's Prince shows his face in the river vision, Orianna immediately uses her W skill's Pulse Magnetic Field to accelerate and run three miles away.

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

Inside the EDG backstage lounge.

Besides Abu and Coach Nofe, another familiar face was present today: EDG owner Edward Zhu.

He didn't pay much attention to the Demacia Cup, but after hearing Abu say before the tournament that the team was in hot form, had a winning streak, and even had a good chance of defeating their old rival RNG in the finals, he decided to take some time to come and watch the game in person.

Although I don't quite understand the situation.

But his gaze still fell on Li Yi's equipment slot.

I remember the first time I watched Li Yi play a match, he played a mid-lane Ardent Censer Lulu in a ranked game and tormented Uzi. I thought he would continue to play something like Chalice of Harmony Ardent Censer Orianna when he went to the competition, but the contrast is too big, right?

"Did he play like this in the previous games too?"

Seeing that the situation on the field was beginning to tilt in EDG's favor, Edward asked a question out of curiosity.

"No, only this one."

Coach Nofe thought for a moment and asked the translator next to him to relay the message: "I understand his thinking. This game's Twitch is having a terrible farming phase, so he needs to come and deal some damage in the mid-game."

"Moreover, Li Yi has always sacrificed himself to push the bottom lane, which is a bad lane where the first tower is pushed down and vision cannot be established. Relying on Luden's Echo's passive wave clear ability and high movement speed to reduce exposure time, it is actually safer than the Morellonomicon and Zhonya's Hourglass build that makes you wait to die in one place."

Just as Coach Nofe said.

Twenty minutes later, just as the Baron Nashor spawned, RNG placed vision in the river in advance, attempting to use their vision advantage to reduce EDG's numbers.

Letme's Kled seized the moment when EDG's formation hadn't yet regrouped, flanking from the flank and unleashing his ultimate to pounce on Iboy's Twitch. Mlxg's Jarvan IV followed closely behind, using EQ to close the distance, and then unleashed Cataclysm, attempting to trap EDG's backline within it.

Although RNG's top laner and jungler were knocked up by Meiko Lulu's ultimate [Wild Growth] as soon as they rushed into the enemy formation, Thresh's Q still accurately followed up with the control.

Iboy's Cleanse was instantly dispelled, but Thresh's second Q had already arrived.

[Command: Shockwave!]

There were no fancy hidden ball techniques, nor any extreme distance pulling.

Li Yi simply hung the ball on Iboy, and when the opposing players rushed into the area at the same time, he pressed R. That was all.

All three RNG members were caught in the shockwave.

The formation was broken up again.

"That's the right way to play Orianna," Coach Nofe explained to Edward. "Orianna's Q has a very slow flight speed. In team fights, everyone will pay attention to the position of the puppet. It's actually very difficult to use QE to poke or use Q to adjust your position and then R to pull multiple people together."

"The safest way is to pass the ball to a warrior who can move into the fray, or your own core carry, and let your teammates bring the ball to unleash a burst of damage with RE."

Seeing EDG decisively counter-engage and turn the tide, Nofe, who had already figured out the course of the team fight, breathed a sigh of relief.

If we win the first game, the subsequent drafting and banning will be much easier.
