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

"The last two bans were due to my oversight. Although Rumble and Shen can synergize with Nocturne, our charge composition is actually more afraid of Lulu." Feng Ge's tone was frank.

"So there's no need for everyone to be discouraged. The lineup I picked this time was too risky. While it's easy to snowball an advantage, it becomes very difficult to win after falling behind."

After finishing his summary, Feng paused for a few seconds.

It seems like they're giving the RNG players some time to process what they've learned.

After a long while, the more optimistic Ming finally spoke up: "It's okay, we'll get back at them next time."

Letme and Mlxg nodded in agreement.

Uzi leaned back in his chair, his hands behind his head, his face slightly flushed, seemingly lost in thought.

Xiaohu was about to take out his phone to check the negative comments about him after the match, but then he secretly observed Uzi's expression and realized that something was wrong, so he quickly locked his phone and put it back in his pocket.

"For the second game's draft, we definitely need to ban one of Nocturne or Orianna." Feng turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "Which one do you think should be banned, or rather, which one is harder to deal with?"

"Should we ban Nightmare?"

Ming spoke first: "The key to that combo is Nightmare, who can bring the ball into the game. Without Nightmare, Tree and Twitch aren't as effective, and Clockwerk isn't difficult to limit."

"Ban Nightmare my ass!"

Mlxg, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but swear.

"Next game we're on the blue side. If we ban Nocturne, we'll have to let Orianna through. Do you think Xiaohu will dare to pick her first?"

As Xiaohu's former teammate, Mlxg knows his personality very well.

If RNG were leading 1-0 or tied 1-1 right now, they might still be able to count on Tiger General to step up and carry the team.

But now, with a 0-1 deficit, the blue side stole the opponent's best-performing clockwork in the second game... If they win, it's fine, but if they lose, they'll be criticized by the audience for "trying to play like others but not understanding how" and "being taught a lesson by a newbie with both forehand and backhand."

Given Xiaohu's personality, his thought in this situation is probably "just don't take the blame," so how could he expect him to stand up for him?

"and."

Seeing that Xiaohu didn't even bother to retort, Mlxg felt even more disappointed in him.

"Nightmare wasn't a strong hero in this patch. If Mingkai dares to play it aggressively next game, I'm signaling you guys to follow me into his jungle and make sure he can't reach level six for the entire game."

Letme also expressed the same idea: "Sure, if the other side dares to pick it, just call me. I'll pick a champion that pushes lanes fast and come help you anytime."

Let's see what everyone thinks and what the results are.

Feng crossed out "wind-up" on the whiteboard with a marker and turned to ask about the next route.

"Let me raise another issue regarding the connection route."

"The moment the bot laner switched to the mid lane to take over, the enemy team was very good at ganking, especially the timing of Xiaoming setting up vision. They ganked him very accurately in the last game. So I wanted to try a different approach in the second game."

"Little dog, how about picking a champion that clears waves quickly and has some self-protection abilities? What do you think of the newly released champion, Xayah?"

Uzi shook his face, which was slightly flushed from losing the first game, indicating that he wouldn't.

"If you don't know how, that's fine. Let's follow this approach for now, and we can discuss the rest during the business pairing process on stage..."

Inside the official live stream of the event.

The camera has switched back from the commentary booth to the commentator's booth. Ji De wiped his glasses and got back to the topic: "Actually, viewers who watched the whole first game should feel the same way. RNG had a huge advantage in the early game. If it weren't for the first wave of support from Nocturne and Orianna, the bot lane might have been close to collapsing."

Rita nodded in agreement: "Yes, I believe that both the audience and we commentators think that LeeE's Orianna was a pick that was essentially a ban."

"After all, this player has never played a single Clockwerk since he debuted in the secondary league."

"But LeeE's outstanding performance throughout the entire game showed us that this wasn't about simply picking champions instead of banning them; it was about forcing RNG to add another ban slot!"

The second round's ban/pick phase begins!

As the commentators said, RNG, on the blue side, banned Galio, Twisted Fate, and Orianna right away!

A gasp immediately erupted from the audience, and the director promptly focused the camera on Li Yi, the rookie player who had been targeted by RNG's three bans, right in the center of the EDG player bench.

This is from EDG's team voice chat.

Li Yi let out a long sigh of relief, revealing the "finally fell for it" expression.

If you play Orianna too much, even the most mediocre player risks becoming a carry, so it's best to ban her early on.

"Coach, what should we ban as our third pick?"

EDG had already banned Caitlyn and Syndra in their first two bans. Coach Nofe looked down at his notes and thought for a moment before deciding to give the third ban to Kalista.

After all, the bottom lane was at a huge disadvantage in the early game of the first game, and the god-level rescue by Nightmare carrying the ball and turning off the lights is not something that can be replicated in every game.

On the first floor of the blue side, RNG secured Karma.

This is actually a mid-support role scramble, but Li Yi guesses that it will most likely be handled by Xiaohu.

"Shall we continue with the nightmare?" Li Yi suggested in the voice chat.

Coach Nofe frowned: "The enemy AD hasn't even been picked yet, and I'm worried that Uzi will get a champion like Xayah who has self-protection abilities. In that case, Nocturne won't be very effective and might even get caught by Feather's Backstab."

"Uzi most likely won't play Xayah."

Li Yi spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, but Coach Nofe sensed a great deal of certainty in his voice.

Although Nofe has also studied Uzi's ranked game replays and there is indeed no record of him playing this hero, maybe he has a hidden smurf account? Isn't it too hasty to draw conclusions so hastily?

On the commentary panel.

"We can see that the EDG players and coaches are having a heated discussion about the draft picks." Remember stared at the screen, trying to catch information from their lip movements. "They haven't decided on the first two picks yet, and you can tell they're making their final decisions."

As soon as he finished speaking, EDG's champion selection screen lit up with their avatars.

"Oh? You've decided!"

"It's still Nightmare and Lulu!"

"No problem, we'll continue to use the strategies that worked in the first game. If RNG doesn't actively counter our moves, I'll keep using the same tactics." Remember indicated his approval of this draft strategy.

Rita, standing nearby, nodded in agreement: "RNG needs to give Uzi a champion with strong wave clear and self-preservation abilities. Because we saw in the last game that Uzi was constantly being targeted while laning in the mid lane."

"I think Kasumi would be a good choice..."

"But RNG locked in Sivir." Rita thought for a moment, "She's actually a champion with wave clear and self-preservation abilities, but her power spike comes a bit too late compared to the strong champions in the current meta."

"RNG picked Lee Sin as their third jungler. The intention behind choosing this signature jungler is quite clear."

"Xiangguo is preparing to directly invade the jungle, harassing Nightmare's jungle route in the early game, and preventing him from comfortably reaching level six." Remember explains RNG's next move.
