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

Chapter 78 Donning the Yellow Robe

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

LPL's official filming crew arrived at EDG's base, where Abu stood in front of the screen directing the players to adjust their equipment.

"Hey, what are you all doing?" Abu looked at the custom room with the match uniform set created on the screen and found that the EDG players who had just entered were all staying in the spectator seats, and not one of them went up to reserve a spot in advance.

Until Li Yi entered the room.

After being automatically assigned to the blue team by the system.

The four IDs in the spectator seats below disappeared almost simultaneously, and the next second, the five empty seats for the blue team were instantly filled.

"Damn, you guys are fast!"

As soon as Mouse finished speaking, he seemed to realize he had misspoke again and quickly gestured to the cameraman: "Cut this part, bro!"

"Brother Yi, I'm here!"

"Wuhu, a wonderful start ever!"

"Brother Yi, I thought I'd never be able to compete against you again in this lifetime!"

Li Yi glanced at his teammates: top laner Aodi, jungler Ai Luoli, bot laner Iboy, and support was his former teammate from the second team, Xiao Hu Maestro, who had been temporarily pulled in to make up the numbers.

"No, you're making it sound like I'm going to die." Although Li Yi couldn't see Xiao Hu in person, the sounds coming from his earpiece were enough to tell that he was quite agitated.

"Brother Yi, you don't know, after you left, I was the only one who could command the second team. Only then did I realize how difficult it is to command while being distracted. I had to watch my teammates and the map at the same time—" Xiao Hu spoke quickly, as if he had a lot to say and finally found an outlet.

"Alright, alright," Ai Luoli interrupted in time.

"Hey, let me say this: today's match is crucial for Li Yi's starting position. All of you guys who usually like to throw games, hold back! After this match, you can throw games however you want—"

"Received!" ×3

"You guys—what am I supposed to do?!" Li Yi sighed deeply. "Isn't this just an entertainment competition for a filming assignment?"

As for the remaining few who were too slow to act...

Top laner Mouse, jungler Clearlove, and bot laners Zet and Meiko were forced to be assigned to the red side, teaming up with Scout.

After the usual ban phase, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

Blue side EDG - Shield, Top lane Jarvan IV, Jungle Trundle, Mid lane Karma, Bot lane Kog'Maw and Lulu.

Red team EDG—Sword, Top lane Poppy, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane Lucian, Bot lane Caitlyn and Braum.

"Okay, okay, our EDG is also using sword and shield like Najin. But then again, it's understandable that Yi is the shield, but who is the sword on the other side?"

'

"It must be Scout, right?"

"Even if Scout is a sword, it's a blood demon sword that only sucks people's blood, okay?!" Ai Luoli suddenly blurted out this sentence, and the party was instantly filled with a happy atmosphere.

Enter the game.

Watching Li Yi head straight for the mid lane, Iboy couldn't help but ask in confusion, "I remember you, Yi-ge, didn't you always come to the bottom lane to steal a RQ with Karma at the start of the game? Why aren't you doing it this game?"

Li Yi's tone was tinged with helplessness: "If you remember this, how could that old sly bastard Tian Ye not remember?"

From the very beginning of the match, Li Yi knew the key to winning. His opponents were already familiar with his playstyle, so he could only find his rhythm by targeting Scout, who was in his position.

Despite having faced off multiple times in simulated matches, this was Li Yi's first time laning against Scout in real life.

The moment the minion waves met, Li Yi didn't rush to push the lane. He controlled Karma to always stand on the same side of the minion wave as Scout's Lucian, minimizing the angle of Lucian's Q skill [Piercing Light]. At the same time, his auto-attacks kept landing on the minions, forcing both sides to push the lane simultaneously, ensuring neither could gain an advantage in health.

After confirming that Lucian had learned the Q skill [Piercing Light] to clear the wave, Li Yi pressed RQ, hitting six minions simultaneously from the side.

"The jungler could give it a try." Li Yi noticed that Lucian was moving towards the river, as if he was going to set up vision.

Sure enough, after confirming that the surroundings were safe, Scout began to push forward and his positioning became more aggressive.

Li Yi didn't rush to retreat. Instead, he activated his E skill, shield, and speed boost, actively closing the distance with Lucian.

He calculated the difference in movement speed between the two sides, and even if Scout used E to retreat, he would definitely not escape the range of his W [Unwavering] chain.

at the same time.

Ai Luoli's troll, using the river's speed boost to gain vision, arrived just in time, placing a pillar of ice precisely in the center of Lucian's retreat route, blocking his only escape angle. To save his health, Scout had no choice but to use Flash to create distance.

"Should I use Flash to chase?"

"No, go back and defend the jungle." Trolls are slow at clearing jungle camps in the early game, and now that Ai Luoli is helping mid, it seems she's prepared to be fed by her dad, Factory Director. Li Yi quickly reminded him to go back and defend the jungle.

Scout did not relent in his offensive just because he lost his dodge.

On the contrary, after confirming that the troll had retreated to defend the jungle, his pressure became even more ferocious, as if he wanted to vent all the frustration he had felt sitting on the bench for the past few days on Li Yi.

Li Yi had no choice but to use RW to replenish his health.

With this in mind, after confirming that the opponent didn't actively push the lane with RQ, Scout, relying on his AD mid laner's fast push, recalled to base first. Li Yi quickly followed suit, while Ca brought over Ai Luoli, who was already idly strolling around, to eat the wave that hadn't been pushed in time.

After purchasing a small Chalice of Harmony and a True Sight Ward, Li Yi didn't rush back to mid. Instead, he headed towards the top river and placed a True Sight Ward to clear the vision left by Mingkai's previous invasion.

"Do you need B for top lane? I'll help you push the lane."

Li Yi switched screens to glance at Aodi, who was in a dilemma in the top lane.

"Holy crap, come quick!"

"I got annoyed by Mingkai's Sejuani twice, and my lane was stuck in front of the tower the whole time." Aodi knew that Ai Luoli's defensive jungle wouldn't be able to come to the top lane to help him clear the wave, so when he saw that the mid laner Karma was actually rushing to the top lane, he quickly grabbed this lifeline.

"Don't rush back to town, you can look for an opportunity in the river." While helping to clear the lane, Li Yi gave a ping signal to the river vision.

"I can come."

Although Aodi didn't know who he would catch this time, after fighting with Li Yi for so long, he had already developed an almost instinctive trust in him.

Seeing Li Yi's TP light illuminate as he teleported to the mid tower, Scout, who had returned to the mid lane, instantly realized that the top lane fight was over. So he controlled Lucian to dive into the river, intending to take advantage of this opening to rebuild vision in the top half of the map.

Then he saw the true eye.

Should we queue up or not?

A typical mid laner might hesitate, wondering if those four hits are a waste of time and could get them caught by the enemy, but Lucian only needs two!

Be greedy when others are fearful!

Isn't this how I, Scout, made my positional economic advantage?

Scout had just finished his four basic attacks with short E moves and was about to make a nice retreat with 30 Mechs when he discovered that the Troll's pillar had somehow blocked his path.

At the same time, the Prince in the top lane and Karma in the mid lane appeared from two directions simultaneously!

"Ah, the prince is here too?"

Scout knew very well that Karma's RQ combo with the Chalice of Harmony wouldn't do much damage in the early game, and even with the help of this troll who just wanders around, it would be impossible to kill him.

But the prince's appearance made him give up resistance.

To prevent Karma from quickly completing her build, Scout had no choice but to move upwards, giving the kill to Aodi's Jarvan IV.

"Why don't you play it safe?"

Mingkai had just found an opportunity to gank from behind in the bottom lane and succeeded when he saw the first blood notification appear prematurely in the mid lane. He could only helplessly remind Scout.
