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

After the announcement of RNG's kill on the Rift Herald was broadcast.

While pushing the mid lane, Li Yi used "screen switching" to accurately capture the movements of the RNG players after they finished taking the Rift Herald, taking advantage of the residual vision from Nidalee's Beast Trap.

Apart from Xiaohu's Karma consistently laning in the mid lane.

The opposing top laner and jungler chose to take the Herald's Eye and head to the top lane to further extend their advantage; while the support Zyra recalled to base, leaving only Sivir to return to the mid lane to take over the push lane prepared by Karma.

"Don't rush to use Q. Wait until Karma confirms B before making a move," Li Yi calmly instructed Nidalee, who was crouching in the bushes.

It's now!

At the last moment before Karma recalled to base, Clearlove's Nidalee threw her javelin, accurately locking onto Uzi's position.

Logically speaking

Given Uzi's incredibly high frequency of tapping the ground, even if the first half of his Q attack wasn't visible, he could definitely dodge it by positioning himself.

But anyone who has played Sivir knows that as long as her E [Spell Shield] is still available, there's a subconscious tendency to be lazy and not want to move around.

Especially in the central area, an accident-prone place later known as "Bird Fall Slope"...

At this moment, Uzi was calculating that with two summoner spells in hand, he was taking the pushback towers in front of him, with the mid-lane tower right behind him.

  

As long as you use E to block Nidalee's Q, the enemy mid and jungle will have no way to initiate and will be unable to pose a threat to him under any circumstances.

however.

Just before Nidalee's javelin was about to hit Sivir's E, the sky over Summoner's Rift seemed to darken slightly.

"My goodness!"

"Sivir's shield was broken prematurely by Nightmare's 'Lights Out'! The little dog clearly didn't react at all and took the damage from the javelin that flew to its maximum range!"

On the commentary panel.

I initially thought this was just a casual poke from Nidalee in the mid-game, but now it seems it's not that simple!

Taking advantage of the movement speed boost from escaping the bushes, Mingkai decisively switched to leopard form. A golden light flashed, and he used Flash and W to pounce straight at the already low-health Sivir.

Uzi snapped out of his daze and quickly dodged Nidalee's pounce.

"The puppy reacts very quickly!"

"But from our God's-eye view, this Flash was actually unnecessary... Nightmare's second R locks onto Sivir, he releases his Q skill in mid-air, lands, auto-attacks with his passive, and then uses Tiamat!"

"The puppy is messed up!"

As the official live stream chat exploded with a classic line that was drawn out and full of emotion, the chat was filled with comments again.

[The timing of Cup King's play was really impressive; he's temporarily exempt from criticism for this game.]

[Hilarious! Xiaohu left the mid lane push lane for Uzi to heal, and Uzi immediately died, giving away the mid lane tower.]

[The classic Sivir activates her E ability and proactively engages to follow up with her skill.]

[This time, Xayah is definitely not going to die!]

[He couldn't play Jhin in S6, and he couldn't play Xayah in S7! This is the world's best AD carry from the LPL!]

[Look at the RNG player's shot in the bottom left corner, who put a red filter on our little dog's face?]

Seizing the precious window of opportunity presented by Karma's recall to base for supplies and Sivir's temporary loss of position, Li Yi decisively called Meiko Lulu, and the three of them grouped up to push towards the mid-lane tower.

Because the factory manager's Nidalee had such an early game advantage, he didn't choose the standard Rod of Ages as his first item, but instead built Lich Bane, an item that could snowball.

"EDG is grouping up and taking down towers very quickly!"

"Almost at the same time that RNG's Herald's Eye knocked down the second top turret, EDG also traded for the opponent's first mid turret."

Rita glanced at the data she had recorded beforehand: "This exchange... it's hard to say who would profit more."

"Judging from the data of the previous two rounds of the knockout stage, EDG is very good at using lane rotation and vision control after taking down the mid-lane tower to get into position before resource team fights."

Although the economic situation on the surface has not improved.

However, from the perspective of the two commentators, the scales of victory are slowly tipping in EDG's favor.

"I have to say, EDG's last pick of Nidalee was very targeted." As EDG gradually entered their familiar vision control rhythm, Remember started to re-analyze the lineup.

Rita chimed in at the opportune moment: "How so?"

"Because Lee Sin needs to use his W to ward, the position 4 player must place a ward on him."

"This raises a problem: if a team is at a disadvantage and lacks a jungler to scan, the team's ability to contest vision will be greatly reduced."

He paused for a moment, then added, "And in this game, the Lee Sin was facing off against a Nidalee who can place bear traps. We all know that Nidalee's W skill damage is very considerable in the late game, let alone against a Nidalee who is so far ahead in farm..."

"Ultimately, this is all a chain reaction caused by RNG losing their mid-lane turret. Uzi's loss in that wave was really damaging!"

Just as I remember analyzing.

RNG found themselves in a very passive position during the mid-game vision control battle, making every step extremely difficult.

In particular, Xiaohu's Karma only left the shield for Uzi, and Uzi was positioned at the very back, which forced RNG's top and jungle duo to go shirtless and physically confront the traps set by Nidalee.

The game has reached the 25-minute mark.

EDG's ward, deep in RNG's jungle, accurately caught Uzi's timing as he recalled to base to replenish his equipment. Li Yi pinged towards the Baron pit, and EDG decisively gathered to start the Baron.

The combination of Kog'Maw and Lulu is one of the fastest to take down Baron Nashor, and with Nidalee already at level 15 and the best in the game, Baron Nashor's health bar dropped almost visibly.

It's just a pity for Mlxg, who was preparing to squeeze into the dragon pit to steal the dragon.

Just as he was about to reach the edge of the dragon pit, he was blown away by Gragas's ultimate ability.

After repositioning, they were again blinded by Nightmare's vision. By the time their vision returned, EDG had already retreated safely with the Baron buff.

"Although EDG got the Baron buff, RNG has Rumble and Sivir, so their wave clear ability is not bad."

"If EDG had forced a fight, it would have been risky... Fortunately, EDG made a wise decision and managed to whittle down all three of the opponent's inhibitor towers with their cannon minions." I remember being quite impressed by the composure EDG displayed at that moment.

The first wave of Baron buff has ended.

EDG destroyed the opponent's top and bottom lane inhibitor towers.

Watching Uzi's Sivir take down all three lanes of minions gathered on the high ground, Li Yi inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat similar to a classic battle that took place on October 20th.

It's a pity that Zz1tai wasn't there to do a commentary, otherwise he could have said something like, "Pushing down the three lanes' high ground crystals is actually more beneficial for the little dog's development."

The game has reached the 36-minute mark.

RNG made a clear mistake in their decision-making.

After EDG grouped up and secured the second Baron, they opted to deploy all their players to take down the Elder Dragon, attempting to use the Elder Dragon buff to engage in a team fight with EDG.

Of course, this move only elicited a response from Li Yi in EDG's team voice chat: "They're getting anxious."

After glancing at the large wave of minions gathered on the enemy's top lane high ground, Li Yi instructed top laner Mouse to teleport with him via voice chat.

At the same time, they pressed the R skill in advance to deprive the opponent of vision and prevent RNG members from TPing to defend their base.

finally.

RNG's players, who were trying to recall, were constantly harassed by Nidalee's Q and Kog'Maw's R, and could only watch helplessly as EDG's top and mid laners, with the Baron buff, pushed down the Nexus.

"As the minions, empowered by the Baron buff, crushed RNG's base, congratulations to EDG for taking a 2-0 lead in the finals and securing match point!"
