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

As we all know, Lee Sin's second Q damage can be avoided with Flash.

Of course, this maneuver is very difficult to execute. If you flash too early, the Lee Sin will follow you, causing you to fail to dodge.

The correct time to dodge is when Lee Sin's dash ends and before the damage takes effect, that is, the instant Lee Sin and the target model overlap, you can use Flash to avoid the damage.

To pull off such a move in actual combat requires a certain amount of luck.

Malzahar, who was already in the kill zone, did not fall, clearly having hit the jackpot.

Because his W was still on cooldown, Sofm, who was dragged under the tower, was forced to use Flash to escape.

"Luckily, he didn't react in time to use his ultimate on me, otherwise I would have given up first blood!"

Looking back, Sofm still feels a bit scared.

"Damn, after all that you didn't even manage to take down his two summoner spells, and you got crushed and forced to use Flash?" At this point, Sofm was too lazy to pretend anymore, and spoke fluent Vietnamese-accented Chinese directly to the mid laner.

"I……"

Tank opened the tab and discovered that he had been overtaken in last-hitting without even realizing it.

Although I was very unhappy, I couldn't find a reason to refute it.

"Wow, Yi-ge, that Flash was like cheating?" The EDG team members obviously saw this move as well.

"Good luck, good luck."

Li Yi smiled on the surface, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, my "competitive mentality" was as high as 77, which allowed me to respond even when I was almost certain to die.

If it were some players with a weaker mentality, they would probably have given up immediately.

"I feel like you could have killed him with your ultimate just now." Mingkai glanced at the spot where the Lee Sin had been, thinking that the kid just hadn't reacted yet.

Li Yi didn't answer directly: "Draven on the other side won't have a chance to withdraw, right?"

Meiko replied, "No, our bot lane support played pretty well in the laning phase."

Li Yi nodded: "If I were Draven, I would definitely ask my teammates to fight the dragon and get a kill for me."

"Given that the enemy mid and jungle are both out of Flash, it's difficult for them to quickly reduce our numbers. At that point, I can use my ultimate to catch Draven who's trying to secure a kill..."

Iboy was stunned: "Seriously, man? Could you be any more of a team player?"

Who would consider these things when they can get first blood?

A team fight at the dragon pit one minute later.

  

Inside Snake's training room, Krystal's mouth gaped open: "Fuck you, let me get a head!"

He didn't expect the opponent to choose to engage in a team fight head-on, nor did he expect to be controlled by [Netherworld Grasp] just as he was about to finish off the low-health enemy.

Jiezou, controlling Thresh, tried to interrupt, but after glancing at Malzahar's passive shield, he simply dropped a lantern at Draven's feet and left.

But EDG clearly won't give him the chance to play Jian Lantern.

Iboy's Varus draws his bow and arrow—his R skill, Chains of Corruption, is precisely linked to crowd control.

First Blood!

"My six hundred yuan worth of rice!"

Seeing her passive [Worship] stacks drop to zero, Krystal felt a wave of despair wash over her.

After several small-scale team fights, although Snake managed to get a few kills with their strong control chain, they still couldn't close the huge economic gap between their AD carries.

Seizing an opportunity for their AD Varus to split push might be Snake's only chance to turn the tide.

Of course, EDG understands this as well.

After taking down the bottom lane turret, Varus moved to the safer mid lane.

The long, dark, and poorly paved route was left to Malzahar to handle.

At this point, Snake was caught in a vicious cycle of choosing the lesser of two evils.

If you choose to pick off a single enemy, a well-farmed Varus and Elise can quickly rush down Baron.

With Lulu and Malzahar protecting them, Snake would have a hard time guaranteeing they could get to Varus if they chose to engage in team fights.

In particular, Draven's mechanic of needing to pick up axes is very effective against Malzahar who has built Rylai's Crystal Scepter.

Snake ultimately chose the former.

The result was that the minion wave, empowered by the Baron buff, pushed onto the high ground, and Snake, lacking the ability to clear waves, had no choice but to give up.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that the situation was beyond saving, Tank felt a sense of bewilderment.

He considers himself a master at seizing opportunities, and even during the Spring Split when laning against Scout, he frequently found his weaknesses and called for the jungler to gain an early advantage.

Why did things deteriorate even faster after a new person was brought in?

The only explanation is—

You idiot, you're a master!

"I picked Draven, so you guys should focus on the bot lane. Why are you always ganking mid? Even if Malzahar is losing, he can still control people. If I'm losing, am I supposed to play Snake?" Krystal was the first to express her dissatisfaction.

Jungler Sofm pointed to his 50 more CS than Clearlove and said he wouldn't accept being blamed: "Look at my stats, I farmed way more than the enemy team."

"Fine, fine, so you guys play it this way, huh?"

Seeing his teammates quit the game one after another, Tank secretly went to the top lane to farm two more waves of minions.

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

"You won a scrim match against Snake using Void Prophet. You had one highlight reel and ranked 3rd in the team. Reward: 30 points"

"You take the data, I'll leave the victory behind!"

单看数据，这把Tank的丽桑卓3/2/1，220刀，而李弈的马尔扎哈只有0/2/6，180刀。

If you were a viewer who was obsessed with Excel analysis, you would definitely think that Li Yi was completely crushed in this match.

However, the EDG players, who watched the entire game in detail, clearly had a completely different opinion.

Outside the training room.

"What do you think of this newcomer?"

Abu asked, still wanting to hear Coach Nofe's opinion.

"It's obvious that he knows how to win games."

"In the gank by Lee Sin, he didn't immediately use Cleanse and Flash, but waited for Lee Sin to land his Q before taking him back to the tower. This shows that although his champion pool isn't big enough to carry, he's actually a player who dares to make big plays. When pushing the side lane, he also waited for the other four to reach the Baron pit before showing up to farm minions, which shows good discipline."

Before the hero selection, Li Yi's insistence on picking Malzahar had already led Nofe to label him as a slacker, but after this training match, Nofe changed his opinion of the newcomer.

At the very least, he's a... well-established slacker.

Unlike another Korean coach in the LPL, Nofe doesn't require players to conform to a fixed template; instead, he prefers to give players more freedom to express themselves.

The prerequisite is strong execution.

In layman's terms, it means being able to understand and reproduce the tactics Nofe envisioned.

The fact that he was praised for "knowing how to win games" is enough to show that Nofe has this potential.

Abu nodded: "Then I'll trouble Coach Nofe to supervise his champion practice. He still needs to pick common mid-lane champions like LeBlanc, Syndra, and Orianna."

"I'm afraid he'll stay in his comfort zone and won't come out."

Abu wasn't too worried about this: "Let him try out in the Demacia Cup. It would be best if he could keep winning with this style of play, but if he loses... I'll say a few words to him, and he wouldn't dare to continue like this even if he had ten lives."

That noon.

A notice about personnel changes at EDG eSports Club went viral and became a trending topic.
