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

When the shockwave hit three RNG players, Iboy took the opportunity to flash away and create distance.

Thanks to the protection of Orianna and Lulu, Iboy was still able to deal damage. At this moment, Twitch, who had already built a Split Bow, activated his ultimate skill to increase his range, unleashing a torrent of blood-red critical arrows.

Although the rat had not yet reached its full potential, the burst of power from the fully equipped Clockwerk with RW had already paved the way for him to reap the rewards.

The prince died on the spot, and Kereit dismounted and fled.

Thresh was saved by Kalista's ultimate ability, "Call of Fate".

next second.

Nightmare activated [Ghostly Appearances] and charged straight at Kalista. Although RNG's two carries dealt damage quickly, Nightmare still managed to trade kills with Thresh at the last moment before dying, and also reduced Kalista's health to a low level.

On the other side, the large tree that had been holding off the pressure in the back had been taken down by Ryze—Mouse, covered in armor, ultimately couldn't withstand Ryze's magic damage.

After securing the kills on the tree and the Nightmare, Xiaohu didn't linger in the fight. He decisively activated [Warp Throw], preparing to retreat from the battlefield with Uzi.

Unfortunately, the rat arrived stealthily, and the puppet on its body flew into the portal and unleashed its W ability. Combined with the rat's damage, they still managed to take down Kalista.

EDG achieved a 2-for-3 exchange!

  

"Can we take down Baron?"

During EDG's team voice chat, Mingkai, who had already been eliminated, asked a question.

"We can fight, we can fight." Li Yi glanced at his teammates. Although the mouse was not in good condition, fortunately, he and Lulu's health was still relatively good.

"Meiko, you tank, I'll shield you." The Baron's damage at 20 minutes isn't high. As long as the support absorbs the damage reduction debuff from the Baron's attacks, the two shields can be used to rush it down.

As for RNG's remaining mid and top laners...

As long as it's not Mlxg who's alive, Li Yi isn't worried that RNG will dare to steal the dragon.

"With Baron Nashor's death, EDG achieved their first economic lead of the game at the 22-minute mark!"

Remember's speech quickened along with the game's pace: "EDG's five players grouped up and pushed down the bottom lane—the minion wave was in an ideal position, their goal was clear: to take down the bottom lane's second turret directly!"

The minion wave, buffed by the Dragon's Buff and clad in purple armor, surged powerfully into the range of the bottom lane's second turret.

RNG's lineup has now finally exposed another fatal weakness.

You can't clear the lane when you're at a disadvantage!

While Ryze has wave clear ability thanks to Rune Surge, his short range disadvantage is magnified at this point in time.

As soon as they took a step forward, they were severely damaged by Orianna's QW combo, and the RNG players had no choice but to retreat their defensive line to the high ground tower.

But EDG is clearly not satisfied with just pushing down the second tower.

Just as RNG retreated to defend their high ground tower, Nightmare turned off the lights again, plunging the Rift into darkness. At the same time, a Vision Modifier lit up on the path of RNG's retreat.

"Same combo again, a second goal!"

"Nightmare once again flew into the enemy team with his puppet, unleashing a devastating AOE attack in conjunction with Orianna's R and W!"

The rat appeared from the flank and activated its ultimate skill, "Full Power," instantly causing RNG's health to collapse, resulting in a series of casualties. The remaining Kled and Jarvan IV hastily retreated to the fountain, only to watch helplessly as the minion wave surged onto the high ground.

"The Prince and Kled are such weak wave clearers!" Remember glanced at the respawn times. "If EDG can manage the minion waves well, they can definitely try to push for an early game!"

This is from EDG's team voice chat.

Li Yi was instructing his teammates: "Don't rush to push the bottom lane crystal, let's accumulate two more waves of minions."

After he finished speaking, he casually marked the location in front of the high ground tower. The EDG players understood immediately, and Nightmare and Twitch stopped attacking at the same time, deliberately slowing down their push.

As the blue team pressed in on the nexus tower, RNG's top and jungle players tried their best but couldn't stop them, and could only watch helplessly as Iboy, protected by a shield, destroyed the main crystal.

Congratulations to EDG for winning the first game! They now lead the finals 1-0!

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

What is Tiger so afraid of? Why doesn't he dare to attack and just let this slacker farm in lane?

[You can refer to Easyhoon and Rookie from the first two rounds; they both wanted to order this LeeE dish, and you've seen the results.]

While LeeE doesn't gain much of an advantage in lane, it's also difficult for anyone to put him at a significant disadvantage.

But you know what, Cup King's damage output this round was actually quite high.

[With this build, Orianna doesn't even need to risk going in for a QW combo; as long as her ultimate lands, she can withstand several Ryze combos... But honestly, Clearlove still found the best opportunities to dribble in.]

[This is a bit of an overreaction. I just looked into the Nightmare Orianna combo and realized the main difficulty actually lies with Orianna...]

[Should Cup King be considered the carry this round?]

[If CupKing continues to play like this, no one will criticize him. The only concern is that after he tricked RNG into using Orianna to get a ban, he'll just keep flopping.]

[Is this short-term C-level performance just for a longer-term career?]

"Hey Sun, something's wrong with RNG's expressions!"

"Uzi fed again... Uzi got targeted by the enemy again, why didn't his teammates come to protect him? What a pity!"

"EDG, do you dare give us a chance? We all know each other, don't be so ruthless... I'm going to show no mercy to EDG, congratulations to EDG for taking a 1-0 lead!"

On the commentary panel.

Xiaoxiao and Xika burst into strange laughter.

The two of them recalled all the saddest things in their lives before they could barely suppress the uncontrollable upturn of their lips.

Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and forced a serious debriefing: "Let's not talk about who performed best for EDG in this match. I think Uzi definitely did his best for my team, RNG."

"Oh, shall we not talk about it now?"

"Ahem... Let's talk about it first." Xiaoxiao cleared her husky voice.

"As I said before the match, EDG's lineup relies heavily on the timing of the first wave of Nightmare's ultimate. If they can gain an advantage in the first wave, RNG's lineup will lose its rhythm. But I didn't expect this Rayquaza to pull off this kind of synergy."

"I've seen this in those silly videos, but all I know is that Malphite uses Clockwerk's ultimate to enter the fray. With Nocturne's help, this combo is going to be quite difficult."

"You could say the risks are high, but the rewards are also high!"

"That's why I said Uzi did his best; there's no way to dodge that. And Xiaoming, there's something wrong with the Thresh skin you're using. The lantern is so dark; how am I supposed to find it when the lights are off...?"

"Brother Sun, laugh if you want!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao quickly sighed, "What am I laughing at? I'm trying to figure out a solution for my team, RNG. We definitely need to ban one of them, Nightmare or Orianna, because I'm worried my team won't have enough ban slots..."

Compared to the cheers and laughter in the commentary booth.

The atmosphere in RNG's backstage lounge was much heavier.

Coach Feng stood in front of the tactics whiteboard, holding a marker, and had been silently studying the draft strategies drawn on it for nearly two minutes.

The letters "LeeE" were circled repeatedly on the whiteboard, with "Clockwork," "Card," "Galio," and a string of crossed-out alternatives written next to them.

"The first game was my fault."

Feng finally spoke, and the whole room fell silent.

He's not the kind of coach who likes to put pressure on his players, and besides, there were indeed mistakes in the draft picks for the first game.
