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

Chapter 113 Using Their Own Methods

"Little dog, does your paw hurt?"

LPL backstage lounge.

The team, who had just been celebrating EDG's victory, quickly switched back to preparation mode. The four head coaches held an impromptu discussion about the order of appearance.

After several rounds of discussions, everyone agreed that RNG, who were in better form, should play the second game first.

RNG's head coach, Feng, nodded, but his gaze didn't fall on the tactics board; instead, it turned to Uzi in the corner.

Since the start of the Summer Split, Uzi's hand injury has been recurring. The team doctor advised him to reduce his training volume and avoid consecutive high-intensity matches.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have played in the Intercontinental Cup in such a physical condition. In the first game against AHQ, substitute Y4 did start. However, the game against KT was too crucial, and after careful consideration, it was decided to let Uzi play despite his injury.

When asked by Feng Ge, Uzi simply shook his head.

He suddenly felt exceptionally good.

Just now, Uzi was sitting in the lounge in front of the screen, watching Iboy pull off a play that could only be described as an art in a team fight.

Dodging the Cassiopeia's petrification with his positioning, using Quicksilver Sash to break Lee Sin's Insec kick—at that moment, Uzi almost instinctively jumped up from his chair.

Even Xiao Ming, who was standing next to him, glanced at him sideways.

The exhilarating feeling of walking and attacking without getting a single leaf on your body amidst countless skill barrages is the ultimate romance unique to AD players.

only----

For some reason, I have a feeling that Uzi was the one who first demonstrated such an amazing play as the Mercury's Treads on Lee Sin in professional matches!

It seems that his professional career, from a very early stage, has always been beaten to the punch by other AD players.

A premonition rose in his heart: if he didn't play this match, he would miss his only chance to lift the trophy this year!

The surge of endorphins made Uzi forget the pain in his hand. Looking back at Iboy's performance, Uzi suddenly felt like he was in top form, capable of even defeating Ruler, whom he had never beaten before!

"Let me do it!"

"Okay!" Brother Feng nodded.

Xiao Hu, who was standing to the side, quietly observed his older brother's expression and exchanged a glance with Xiang Guo: Why is he already getting popular before even going on stage?

With everyone's attention focused on it, the second match began!

RNG will face off against SSG!

Wow, what bad luck! If it were KT, they could have easily taken another point!

[Thankfully, it was Uzi instead of Y4; the win rate was just slightly higher!]

Come on, Uzi has never beaten SSG. Don't you remember how they were wiped out in 25 minutes by a rookie Ruler in last year's World Championship group stage?

[Uzi's Ezreal had higher CS and damage output than Ruler in that game —]

[Come on, what era are we living in? Still comparing last hits and damage output? If it were really about who has better stats, the guy being interviewed on the secondary stage now wouldn't be the Cup King.]

The match went more smoothly than expected.

Because of the previous outstanding performance of the Relic Shield strategy in the game, coupled with the information from the KT coach that was of unknown authenticity, Edgar had to ban Kog'Maw on the first pick of the blue side. Kog'Maw is the non-crit AD carry with the longest range and the fastest completion among all Ardent Censer builds.

However, thanks to Li Yi's pre-match reminder, Feng Ge realized that the opponent might use a double-carry strategy, wanting Ruler to pick a long-range big carry to counter him. So, on the red side, Feng Ge decisively banned Tristana, the AD carry most favored by LCK players.

Seeing that his thoughts had been accurately read, Edgar's expression changed: There is a traitor among us!

Ultimately, they had no choice but to ban Twitch. This champion can always find opportunities to target immobile carries in team fights by using stealth, which greatly limits his 4-1 split push strategy. Since Kog'Maw and Tristana are no longer viable, this stealthy rat can't be left out either.

Because of a strategy that they couldn't figure out after two days of research, they wasted two precious first three bans, which directly led to RNG being able to easily get their favorite Corki and Jarvan IV mid-jungle combination in the first two picks.

Although SSG managed to get Zac and Kalista, two OP champions in this patch, the AD carry pick on the third floor of the red team still surprised them.

Policewoman!

Edgar really didn't expect RNG to dare to pick this hero, which even SKT, who are best at Caitlyn's push strategy, couldn't achieve the expected results in the last game.

Emperor Ruler, standing to the side, was starting to have a headache.

He actually always felt that the hype surrounding Uzi's Ezreal and Vayne had some impact, but when he got Caitlyn, she really put a lot of pressure on him in the laning phase, mainly because she was good at coordinating with the jungler.

As it turns out, Ruler's concerns were correct. Since they chose to let Xiangguo (Xiangguo) play, they had to be prepared to be repeatedly tormented by unconventional ganks.

Starting from level three, Xiangguo's Prince plunged into the lower jungle. After clearing the jungle monsters, he didn't even go around the river. He strode directly to the bottom lane along the blind spot and got the first blood from Ruler, who was still in a daze.

In the LCK commentary booth, the commentators stared at the Prince, who was swaggering around the jungle in the center of the screen, exchanging bewildered glances.

He dares to walk over like that? If Sect Leader An were to crouch down and do that, wouldn't it just blow him up?

Less than ten minutes.

Ruler, who was constantly ganked by the jungler and midfielder, pulled out the equipment that had arrived half a year earlier in order to stay under the tower.

This resulted in the situation where, even though Ambition's Zac initiated a perfect fight before the first wave of the vanguard, Kalista's spear attack was just a little short on damage, allowing Uzi's Caitlyn, who had a huge bounty, to escape.

"Hey, tell me what this is?"

SSG—Ambition marks the Spear of Vengeance (survival)—Ninja Footwear!

"Brother Chanrong, in this game, the enemy top laner Shen, jungler Jarvan IV, and both carries Corki and Caitlyn all rely on auto-attacks for damage, and Ninja Tabi is quite cost-effective in this patch." Ruler naturally couldn't say that it was because he couldn't play his lane at all.

Seeing a pair of cloth armor shoes also appear in Master An's equipment inventory, Ruler breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the reason he made up had successfully convinced his elder brother.

However, as the team battles progressed, Master An became increasingly aware of the problem.

He initially thought the opposing support Morgana was a counter-pick chosen to counter SSG's aggressive engage composition. But now...

It seems this Morgana player's skill level is ridiculously high, and it might even be Ming's signature move.

"Here it comes! Ambition's Zac caught Morgana's Q again, and without Mercury's Treads, he was instantly controlled to death!" On the LPL commentary booth, watching Ambition die instantly after catching Qs in two consecutive team fights without doing anything, the Haier Brothers burst into laughter.

[This is pretty classic! Isn't this Cup King using the same high-low distance Q technique against Uzi? He's using their own methods against them!]

[Sect Leader An: So it's back on me now?]

[Master An only bought his own after seeing Ruler Emperor get a cloth armor shoe, but Ruler Emperor has Purification while he doesn't!]

[Hey Jaehyuk, do you really think I can dodge Morgana's Q?]

At 38 minutes, RNG, having secured the Baron buff, displayed an impeccable 1-3-1 split push strategy, with Corki and Shen carrying explosive packs split pushing the side lanes, and Caitlyn, the core pusher with four fully-equipped items, anchoring the mid lane.

Seeing that SSG was still thinking of delaying the Baron buff, Xiangguo's aggressive Wen immediately started with EQ flash, using "Cataclysm" to cover four enemies, and cooperated with his teammates to wipe them out.

Push down the main crystal!

LPL leads 2-0!

When shaking hands with the RNG players, Ruler cautiously observed his senior jungler, whose face didn't reveal much emotion.

Just before leaving the stage, Master An, who had already reached the exit passage, suddenly turned around and revealed a half-smile, which made Ruler, who was still packing up his peripherals, shudder!
