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

Chapter 59 Winning Hearts and Minds is Paramount

The boy blushed.

It surpasses all worries.

Looking at Ai Luoli's face, which seemed to have the same filter as the world's number one AD, Li Yi, who opened the door, was a little unsure of the situation.

"What's going on? Did Nakano and his wife fight again?"

Li Yi asked tentatively.

"No, I'll just stay here for a couple of days."

Hmm, judging from the tone, this argument was quite serious.

"Come and tell me, if you've ever watched my live streams you'll know that I love helping people solve their problems." Li Yi helped Ai Luoli connect the equipment, revealing a meaningful expression.

Ai Luoli sighed, dragged over a chair and sat down: "I just can't do anything with you..."

Despite her hoarse voice, Ai Luoli was once a top streamer and was capable of becoming a commentator after retiring, so her ability to recount the game situation was quite clear.

Li Yi also roughly understood the ins and outs.

The two scrims just now featured Ai Luoli and Scout as the mid-jungle duo against JDG, a team from Group B.

This e-commerce team is essentially the same roster as the original QG, with mid-laner Doinb as the core player. In addition, jungler Clid and bot-laner Loken are also quite strong players. They've also brought in support Lvmao for the new season, further enhancing the team's depth.

first round.

Scout picked Viktor to lane against Doinb's Taliyah. In the early game, Scout's incredibly high E skill accuracy forced Doinb to use up his health potion and recall early.

However, after Taliyah recalled to base to replenish her supplies, she immediately teleported back to lane, gaining an advantage in health and items during a skirmish in the jungle. Together with Jarvan IV, they caught Sejuani, who was playing a support role, and despite Sejuani flashing, she was still knocked back and killed by [Rock Slam].

As the game progressed into the mid-game, the Thief Saint and the Sub-Saint began to display distinct personal playstyles.

Doinb frequently roamed to the side lanes, using his [Wall Barrier] to block paths and coordinate with Jarvan IV to tower dive, applying pressure to both top and bottom lanes in turn. Scout's Viktor, on the other hand, consistently cleared waves in the mid lane, maintaining a CS lead by making good use of jungle resources (according to the victim Ai Luoli, these are damn dirty jungle monsters).

However, EDG's outer towers were falling one after another, and the map vision was shrinking. But Scout remained calm and continued to direct his teammates to protect him and help him farm.

  

Fortunately, JDG isn't a truly strong team.

During a mid-lane push, EDG found an opportunity to kill support Lvmao and ultimately secured the Baron Nashor early thanks to their vision advantage. JDG's attempt to force their way in was met with Viktor's overpowered ultimate, Chaos Storm, leaving them reeling and forcing them to concede the game.

Although Ai Luoli was forced to pick a tank jungler Sejuani, a champion she doesn't like, she was constantly being lifestealed by the mid laner in the mid-game.

Fortunately, he won, so he didn't say much more.

But the second game was different.

Ai Luoli's Lee Sin played very aggressively in the early game, and at level three, he chose to call his teammates to steal the river crab.

This small-scale team fight was the trigger for the war.

Meiko, who arrived first, worked with Ai Luoli to bring Clid's Kha'Zix to low health, rendering it unable to fight. However, Scout's Syndra, who arrived later, fearing that Kha'Zix would escape, used Flash and EQ to kill him and secure the first blood.

This was a decisive move.

However, they also gave up EDG's only reliable control method in the early game.

Doinb's Galio saw Scout use his skills and then charged up his W [Duran's Shield] and flashed in. The three EDG players, who had no interrupt skills, could only be taunted in place and were eventually picked off by JDG's bot lane duo who arrived in time.

Just as Ai Luoli, who had already prepared a thousand-word manifesto and was about to unleash it, was stopped by Coach Nofe, who said they would talk about it after the fight.

Ten minutes later.

After being out-10 and out-1-1 by JDG, EDG decisively typed GG, and Li Yi finally got to the explosive moment he had been looking forward to.

All I can say is that the Korean translator hired by EDG is indeed very professional. Judging from Ai Luoli's gritting tone, the translator should have accurately conveyed Scout's sarcastic meaning.

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

"So you only played two rounds?"

After listening to Ai Luoli's explosive recap, Li Yi couldn't help but ask a question.

Normally, a practice match should at least go through a full best-of-three series.

"The other side doesn't want to fight us anymore."

Ai Luoli leaned back in her chair, her tone still filled with resentment: "In the first training match, I played B Viktor and dragged it out for almost forty minutes. The other team probably felt it was a waste of time and just said they had something to do and wouldn't play."

"That's perfect, let's play a couple of duo matches."

Li Yi suddenly remembered that before Ai Luoli became a professional streamer, he was also a well-known streamer and a top-ranked player in the public server, known as the "3,000-ranked account in the national server". Back then, there was a saying in the first server that "whichever side gets matched with Ai Luoli will win".

Why don't you take me to the King rank to show off your skills?

Upon hearing this...

Ai Luoli glanced at Li Yi with some suspicion: "There's a high chance we won't be able to play together. Are you sure duo queue will be effective?"

Li Yi sighed earnestly and patted Ai Luoli on the shoulder: "Seriously, why are you being so calculating when playing a game?"

He paused, then added, his tone subtly seductive, "Look at you, you spent the whole day in scrims playing a support jungler, basically a dog for your teammates. Aren't you itching to try out a couple of carry jungle games?"

After listening to Li Yi finish speaking.

Ai Luoli fell into a brief silence.

As soon as the summer split patch was released, Coach Nofe started forcing him to play tank junglers like Sejuani, Zac, and Ivern.

These heroes' jungle clearing and resource control are too formulaic, and in the mid-game they even start starving themselves to stand guard for Scout, which is completely inconsistent with his usual jungle carry playstyle in ranked games where he relies on invasion to create tempo.

Now take a look at Li Yi in front of you.

Ai Luoli knows his hero pool.

When champions like Galio, Malzahar, and Karma are picked, AD carries and top laners might feel some pressure in terms of damage output, but junglers who rely on carry champions will absolutely be grinning from ear to ear when they see these mid laners.

A streamer who is passionate about reviewing past games and is a master of playing Nidalee once said, "When I play Nidalee, I wish my teammates were four Nautilus."

"Alright, let's queue up for a couple of games. Don't tell me you want to practice any heroes, just play some with shields and crowd control."

"That's absolutely no problem, Brother Zhao..."

Upon entering the champion selection screen, Ai Luoli locked in Graves. Hearing the somewhat domineering phrase "I walk with death," he finally felt a little more alive.

Looking at Li Yi, who was still hesitating, Ai Luoli suggested, "How about Karma..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Li Yi had already clicked the mouse.

"Oops! Brother Zhao, my hand slipped! But this hero does have both a shield and crowd control, right?" Li Yi's voice sounded slightly innocent.

Upon catching a glimpse of the little girl hugging a teddy bear in the center of the screen, Ai Luoli's face immediately darkened as she recalled some unpleasant memories.

You did this on purpose, didn't you?

"Brother Zhao, you can't bring TP this game, oh, I forgot you're playing jungle now..."

Ai Luoli took a deep breath, remembering what her father, Mingkai, had said: Li Yi was very fond of making fun of his teammates' jokes. Now it seemed that her father was right...
