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

Mingkai leaned back in his chair and casually continued, "Indeed, I hope everyone can share more information, so it will be more comfortable for me to play."

"I think Li Yi did a great job in this regard."

Mingkai paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Although his laning phase trades and last-hitting were terrible, at least he was very proactive in reporting his skill status, clearly telling me whether he could come or not each time."

Li Yi: ...

Although he felt slightly offended, Li Yi still decided to say something: "If you guys exchange summoner spells during the laning phase, remember to let me know. I'll keep track of the time in the chat box, which will help relieve some of the pressure."

"OK!" ×4

Apart from the factory manager's somewhat arrogant tone.

The other four players, especially the two top laners and Iboy, could actually feel the changes brought about by Li Yi's addition.

Perhaps it's as Li Yi said in the interview.

I don't know exactly what's so great about it, but I just feel a lot less pressure and it's very comfortable...

"Um."

Nofe is quite satisfied with the current atmosphere within the team. He flipped through the tactics notebook, his tone becoming serious again.

"Then I'll talk about the second point to pay attention to, which is also your biggest problem."

"decision making!"

For any fan who follows EDG's Spring Split, the biggest impression of EDG's matches is that they "win with constipation and lose with diarrhea."

EDG's decision-making during the Spring Split was extremely inconsistent.

Whenever the team plans to contest the dragon or Rift Herald, someone always says they should take another wave of minions, or stay at home and wait for those few dollars to get the key equipment.

The result was that the core players couldn't get into position for a long time. By the time everyone arrived, the opponent had already set up the terrain and established vision. The resource team had already lost half the battle before it even officially started.

When it comes to deciding to decisively relinquish resources and switch to other economic sectors, there are always some who are unwilling to give up and insist on "taking a look."

This seemingly innocuous action often leads to disaster—either you get caught and forced to use Flash, or you die instantly, giving the opponent more room to maneuver. What was originally intended as simply giving up a small dragon can end up giving away vision of the turret or Baron Nashor as well.

  

Therefore, although EDG often establishes a gold advantage of several thousand in the early game, they always manage to drag the game into the late game before barely managing to secure a victory.

The synergy between jungler Ai Luoli and mid laner Scout is also terrible.

The only time the two could maintain a high degree of synchronization was probably after a team fight was lost, when they rushed to abandon their teammates and escape.

"I think what Li Yi said in the previous interview was very good." Nofe put down his pen, turned around and glanced at Li Yi.

"There are no bad decisions, only uncoordinated decisions!"

"From now on, Li Yi will be responsible for deciding whether to fight for, exchange, or release resources. Especially when Li Yi finds an opportunity on his flank, the rest of you must follow suit."

Although these words did not name names, Mingkai still felt a little uneasy.

There was nothing he could do; he knew he was somewhat cowardly.

His consecutive poor performances in world championships have given him a psychological burden of "being afraid to take the blame".

Letting Li Yi lead the team fight might be a better choice.

As for Meiko, the team's original commander, he didn't care at all about who held the command.

Because he and Li Yi had a good relationship, and it was he who recommended Li Yi to join the team. Moreover, after being relieved of the heavy responsibility of commanding, he could focus more on dealing with the laning phase.

"I have no objection." Meiko picked up her water glass and took a sip. "I think Li Yi has a pretty keen sense of team fights; if he initiates, I'll definitely follow."

"And Mingkai, not to be rude, but why are you so afraid in team fights? Even if you lose, Li Yi can draw fire, and the audience will only criticize Li Yi's command. Who's going to make you take the blame?"

"When have I ever been afraid?"

"Do you dare watch the recording?"

"..."

"Since you guys are willing to trust me, then I'll accept it without hesitation." Seeing that his teammates had all expressed their approval, Li Yi did not refuse.

"Alright, let's talk about the last question, which is about practicing the heroes in this patch."

Nofe spoke again.

"I know that Ardent Censer has been buffed in this patch, and most AD carries in the bot lane are late-game carries. Twitch, Kalista, and Kog'Maw are the strongest champions in this patch."

"But the version of the answer is not the only answer."

"Even in a team like RNG, which revolves around its bot lane, Uzi will still pick utility AD carries like Jhin and Ashe to synergize with the mid and jungle. So Iboy, you have to be willing to pick those two champions too."

"As for the middle lane."

Nofe paused for a moment.

"Li Yi, I know you've always prioritized the team in your playstyle. You're willing to pick champions like Galio, Twisted Fate, and Lissandra, who are good at pushing lanes and providing support, and to give up gold and kills to your teammates. I think that's perfectly fine in this version."

"However, it is still as I said above."

"You also need to pick strong champions like Corki and Orianna. Even if you can't achieve perfect results, as long as you dare to pick them, don't collapse in lane, and have an impact in team fights, you can alleviate the pressure on our draft. This is also a way to help the team's draft."

After explaining the general pre-match arrangements.

Nofe pulled up a chair and sat down, his gaze slowly sweeping over the EDG players.

There is an old Chinese saying: "One minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage."

"I know you may have heard this sentence since you were a child, but I want to say it again today. It's because I have seen far too many talented players miss out on the championship simply because of a moment of carelessness."

"I hope that one day in the future, when you look back on your careers, you won't have any regrets about skipping to practice your favorite heroes today!"

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

"Let's order first!"

After a morning of hunger, the EDG team walked out of the meeting room, ready to go out for a good meal.

EDG's cafeteria is notoriously bad. They claim it's for health reasons, with less oil and salt, but in reality, it's mostly bland hot pot and boiled vegetables.

Most professional players come from Jiangxi and the Hunan and Hubei regions, so naturally they can't stand the bland food. Now that they're in Changsha, they must seize this rare opportunity to eat their fill.

"Li Yi, aren't you coming to eat with us?"

Seeing that Li Yi did not follow the main group but instead turned and headed towards the training room, Meiko quickly asked him a question.

"I'm not going. The coach already told me off, so I need to cram at the last minute," Li Yi replied with a wry smile.

"Okay, do you need me to bring you anything?"

"Hmm... I'll get a stir-fried beef with yellow peppers and a dish of pounded chili and preserved egg."

As Li Yi walked into the empty training room, he recalled what Coach Nofe had just said.

To be honest...

After his rebirth, Li Yi, relying on his superior understanding of the game thanks to the system, didn't really think about actively expanding his hero pool.

They always think that they can win by relying on team tactics and a keen sense of the game, but little do they know that when facing top teams, if they can't pick certain heroes, they may have already lost half the battle from the very beginning of the draft.

Fortunately, though.

With the ability to "admit mistakes and correct them," Li Yi is not afraid of incurring excessive trial-and-error costs in training heroes.

Inside the meeting room.

Coach Nofe, who was left last, tidied up the documents, restored the whiteboard, and then left the room.

Looking at the lights on in the training room across the way, Coach Nofe moved closer and peered inside through the glass window in the door.

In the large training room, only Li Yi was sitting in front of the screen, completely focused, practicing his hero in custom mode.

Nofe was taken aback for a moment.
