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

Inside the EDG backstage lounge.

"Damn, the Demacia Cup champion is still a champion!"

"Wow, Yi Shen, you're awesome! You won FMVP right after your first start! You have to treat us tonight!"

"Don't talk about treating us, Boss Zhu is still here." Li Yi looked at Boss Zhu for help, knowing that his 5K monthly salary from his youth training contract was definitely not enough to cover this feast.

"Alright, alright, the boss is definitely treating us today."

Abu handed the banana in his hand to Li Yi, indicating that he should replenish his energy.

Li Yi frowned: "Why would I eat a banana after the match? I need to save room for a big meal..."

"There will be a group interview after the match, and an interaction session with fans after you leave the stadium."

Recalling the post-match interaction from two days ago, Li Yi couldn't help but shudder and quickly took the banana.

As for the issue of group interviews, that's not difficult.

Aside from questions assigned to a specific contestant, all other questions could be passed on to someone else, so the whole team tacitly passed the microphone to the guy who was best at making witty remarks.

Li Yi was then assigned three questions.

[To Li Yi, who won the FMVP today, in the first game, your Orianna chose a pure damage build with Mejai's Soulstealer and Luden's Echo, which is different from your usual style. What was your thinking at the time?]

Li Yi: I think as long as my teammates can carry the game, I'll try my best to create opportunities for them. If my teammates don't develop well in the early game, then I'll choose to take over the burden and hold on until they can carry the game.

[One more question for Li Yi: In the second game, when you ganked Rumble on the sideline with Nocturne, you ultimately chose to let the arriving Nidalee get the assist. Why did you decide to forgo that solo kill?]

Li Yi: I think if a teammate is nearby, they should get an assist. Because if I'm too focused on a solo kill, my teammates might think, "If you're so good at solo kills, then just keep killing." But if I choose to forgo a solo kill and let my teammates get the assist, they'll feel guilty, like "I have to carry."

[In the third game, we saw Li Yi use a visual illusion created by the terrain to force Uzi to use Cleanse, which also set the stage for the subsequent Renekton engage. Could you please tell me if there are any easy-to-remember techniques involved?]

Li Yi: I think it can be summarized in one sentence: "Low attack high, lock down the feet; high attack low, lock down the head." Also, in areas with elevation differences in the river, the skill animation might take a little longer than the indicator shows. If you want to learn these techniques, you can come to my livestream, or you can search for my video clips on video websites…

[Thank you for the interview, Li Yi! Finally, could you please share your expectations for the Summer Split?]

Li Yi: We will all train extra hard in the last few days. Nobody wants to run into us in the Summer Split!

fmvp, EDG mid laner LeeE!

[A definite 5 out of 10! Cup King made this ten-year hater feel incredibly satisfied today.]

[I'd give you 4 points. If you played like you did in the first game today, no one will criticize you. You were a bit too passive in the last two games, but considering you took too many bans from the opponent, I'll only deduct one point.]

[Don't be too hateful, upstairs. Aren't the fans always praising European and American teams for daring to pull out new stuff that isn't in the current meta? Does Cup King's Nightmare Morgana mid lane today count?]

[Perfect score! I remembered seeing a clip of Cup King's livestream on a certain site yesterday, where he talked about how to utilize this elevation difference, and I was able to use it in today's match.]

[Bro, you can't say this out loud. The last person who promoted their live stream has already been labeled a paid troll...]

The entire RNG team!

[With zero points, how could a team with zero communication and abnormal pressure on everyone dare to claim the championship?]

[I don't know about others, but Uzi definitely gets zero points from me. Even Cup King has mastered Orianna, so Uzi's inability to play Xayah is purely an attitude problem.]

[Xiaohu was actually pretty overpowered in this final match. Not only did he steal the champion from the opposing team, but his item build was also more conservative than theirs...]

"Brother Yi, your reputation has turned around!"

After interacting with the audience outside the venue, the EDG team boarded a bus to the restaurant, while Iboy began his post-match online community activity.

"That's normal. Winning the championship gives you immunity from criticism," Meiko leaned in. "It's just that we don't know how long the Demacia Cup title lasts."

"In fact, logically speaking, the Demacia Cup champion shouldn't be entitled to the right to be immune to criticism, but it's mainly because we beat RNG and Uzi."

Mingkai, standing to the side, saw things very clearly: "Sometimes your reputation improves because someone is using you as a pawn."

Huh? You know so much, kid?

Li Yi was somewhat surprised to hear Ming Kai's words.

No wonder he's a player who's been in the top eight every year and has plenty of experience being criticized.

This is actually quite easy to understand.

When not in use, Faker is the kind of champion that the fans on the forums call someone who only knows how to ride on his teammates' coattails.

But you say other games dare to challenge League of Legends? Well, sorry, what kind of trash are your professional players? Do you think you can mess with Faker?

However, Li Yi did not open the anti-racism forum this time.

After all, his battle with Uzi has given him a positive image. If the fans can't provide him with any more free attribute points, then there's no need to waste time in this subspace.

Li Yi brought up the settlement panel.

"You won a Demacia Cup final against RNG using the Fallen Angel. You had one highlight reel in this game and ranked 4th in the team. Reward: 100 points"

"You have won your first career championship. Calculating bonus rewards—Heart of the Champion (Passive Ability)."

"Champion's Heart (Unupgradeable): You will no longer be able to receive rewards from changes in public opinion. In exchange, after you win any tournament, you will permanently strengthen the lowest of your current four attributes. The strengthening amount will be dynamically adjusted based on the overall value of the tournament."

In addition, each championship win will further optimize your scoring system, reducing the weight of stats such as assists, team fight participation rate, and damage taken in the final score.

To put it simply, the system's scoring mechanism is increasingly emphasizing output percentage and kills, thus ignoring the impact of assists and roaming support (the lower the score, the higher the reward).

But you do this.

It will distort people's efforts!

But I like it...

Li Yi felt a surge of secret joy and summoned the system panel again.

Host: Li Yi

"Operational Ability: 71 (66+5)"

"Game comprehension: 86 (85+1)"

"Game experience: 72 (70+2)"

"Competitive Mentality: 81 (80+1)"

Special Abilities: Screen Switching (Intermediate), Diligence Makes Up for Lack of Talent (Beginner), Admitting and Correcting Mistakes (Beginner), Champion's Heart

Current free attribute points: 0

"Current remaining learning points: 220"

"They gave me 5 points of operational ability directly, which is not bad."

The longer Li Yi played in professional matches, the more he realized the importance of skillful maneuvering.

Although Li Yi always adhered to the philosophy of making his teammates play comfortably, he did indeed use vision control and timing to help him win many games in the Demacia Cup.

But operational capability is like that of a nuclear weapon.

You can choose not to use it, but you can't be without it.

Whether Li Yi chooses to make a move is not important; the most important thing is to let the opponent know that he has the ability to make that move.

For example.

Although both are forms of support, providing support to a superior line that has already gained an advantage and chooses to abandon further suppression is definitely more profitable than providing support to a flat or even losing line.

"Before making my teammates comfortable, I really need to make my own lane comfortable first."

"If the Demacia Cup champion gets 5 points, what about the bigger championships? Let me see what other tournaments are happening besides the Summer Split... the Asian Games! It's in a month!"
