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

Chapter 95 The Attack of the State Grid

"Aish!"

As Rumble flashed and killed Gragas, a brand new red buff appeared around him, leaving the late-arriving top laner, Withered, completely bewildered.

As a top laner who is a master of Yordle, he knows very well what Rumble is afraid of when laning against Renekton.

Although the lane will be constantly pushed in the early game.

However, once Renekton reaches level three, he can use the EA-E combo with his red rage to trade blows without taking damage. Rumble, whose health is low, will either have to call for the jungler to push the lane to the tower, or he will have to watch helplessly as the lane is controlled in front of the tower, waiting for Renekton to reach level six and be chased to death.

However, after Rumble got the red buff.

These ideas are nothing but a pipe dream.

Whose fault is this?

Anyway, it's not Master An's problem.

In Kuwei's opinion, his jungler had only failed to secure a kill and triggered the "Courage of the Colossus" talent before his teammates could even reach him—the talent that grants a thicker shield the more teammates are around him. —Well, Chanrong really had no choice; it wasn't because he was afraid of the baseball bat Chanrong was hiding in the base.

What truly baffled the withered creature was this rock sparrow.

Rumble at least pushed the lane before coming to support, but you, a mid laner who came at a loss, why didn't you flash in and kill him? Answer me!

"Beautiful! Beautiful counter-jungling!" PDD roared from the commentary booth, his face flushed red. He felt that his old rival had regained the confidence he had when they played together in the All-Star game. "Mingkai's move was so decisive!"

【77777! 】

The world is focused on you!

The first wave of designs was a success!

Seize the opportunity when Ambition's rhythm falters in the early game and see how much of an advantage EDG can gain!

This is happening in EDG's team voice chat at this moment.

"That level 1 river ward must have been placed by the mid laner. We can try ganking mid later." Li Yi, back on the lane, recalled that he saw An Zhangmen place a defensive ward behind the wolf camp from the jungler's vision.

therefore.

After noticing that Crown would place the second ward in the bottom river bush four minutes later, Li Yi's mind flashed through simulated games, and he quickly integrated the information: "Just camp in the top river bush, he will definitely come."

A few seconds later, Crown, who had teleported back to lane, cleared the minion wave and, as usual, approached the top river to try and place the control ward he had just brought out.

However, just as he approached the edge of the bushes, the lurking excavator suddenly appeared and [Emerge from the Ground], knocking him away. Crown initially thought that Taliyah had just teleported and couldn't follow up with [Rock Slash].

Unexpectedly, the opponent used Flash to close the distance, attempting to continue the control.

To avoid being lifted by Taliyah, Crown also chose to use Flash, but even so, he was not in good condition. He forced a push of two waves before recalling to base.

Master An arrived immediately to fix the problem.

What left the LPL viewers in the live stream breathless was not only the speed at which SSG exchanged resources, but also their decisiveness in simultaneously letting go of lanes on both the top and bottom lanes and then retreating.

The director's camera cut to Li Yi's Rock Sparrow.

After placing the control ward, he took a step towards the top lane and then disappeared into the shadows at the river entrance. The movement was subtle, but the residual vision from the control ward allowed SSG to see his movement.

"You can't fool them!"

Wawa shook his head in the commentary booth, his tone filled with regret: "Even though Taliyah made a fake move to move upwards, SSG's bot lane still didn't push the lane. Instead, Ruler used his E [Hawk's Roar] to see that Taliyah was actually moving downwards."

"The enemy bot lane can't come, right?"

Li Yi's tone suggested no surprise.

"They absolutely won't come; they won't fight back."

Because they feared a four-man gank with the combination of the excavator and Taliyah's [Wall], SSG's bot lane duo deliberately controlled the lane to avoid trading blows, but this extreme caution gave Rakan the opportunity to make the first move.

"Seizing the opportunity when the enemy mid laner recalls, EDG chooses to control the dragon!"

The mid-laner, Gragas, who had just finished clearing the wave, seemed to realize that the opponent was planning to take the dragon. However, Taliyah, seeing that there was no opportunity to roam, kept sticking to him. After reporting Rakan's miss in the bot lane, he had no choice but to go back to the jungle.

Wow, Samsung is so cowardly, they don't give us any chance at all!

Thankfully, the first one was an earth dragon!

[This version of the Earth Dragon grants a 10% bonus to true damage against towers and epic monsters, which is quite good for EDG's lineup that relies on rushing Baron.]

"The game has been going on for about ten minutes, and the economic difference between the two sides has been maintained at around 1K." The commentators have already seen that the unfavorable situation at the beginning has been contained by the opponent, while Ruler and Crown have begun to develop without pressure.

The chat in the live stream was no longer as dense as it was at the beginning. The viewers had already felt that familiar sense of oppression. Was this another game where LCK would outmaneuver them?

and----

Why isn't the Rock Finch enlarged?

Li Yi, who is usually used to running up and down lanes, stayed in the mid lane the entire time this match. He even used his ultimate skill, [Wall Curtain], for self-preservation.

It remains in a gray, unlearned state to this day.

The live stream even featured comments like "civil war roaming type, foreign war earthbound spirit".

In fact.

Li Yi maintained an extremely high screen-switching frequency throughout those few minutes. If a viewer were to get a close-up look at Li Yi's first-person perspective, they might even feel dizzy.

However, the opponent made almost no mistakes in the top and bottom lanes.

The only chance comes when Lambo reaches point six.

As soon as Li Yi gave the signal, Mouse immediately cast [Constant Burn], attempting to clear a wave of minions with the flames and then coordinate with Taliyah to dive the tower.

But Li Yi's figure had only been visible to the river crab for a second when the crocodile activated its ultimate, using its body to block the minion wave outside the tower.

at last.

The stalemate took a turn for the better in the twelfth minute.

Perhaps wanting to farm gold for a B.F. Sword with Lifesteal, Ruler's Ashe didn't recall with her support in the previous wave, instead farming two extra waves of minions. This gave Meiko's Rakan an opportunity to constantly harass Ruler's recall location with feathers.

Meanwhile, the cannon minion lane regrouped in the bottom lane. Although no one from SSG showed up in the bottom lane, Li Yi knew the team's style and believed they wouldn't accept such a loss.

[Wall curtain]!

Taliyah's ultimate ability finally lit up at the twelfth minute, creating a stone wall from the river to prevent the Freljord duo from reuniting.

Seeing the shadow of the stone wall appear behind him, Corei, who was secretly sniffing the grass, knew something was wrong.

At the same time, announcements of SSG-Ambition killing the Rift Herald and EDG-Clearlove7 killing the second Earth Dragon rang out simultaneously, indicating that...

Corei, with his four-man gank on two, was already thinking about how to stall for a little longer.

"This is the opportunity LeeE finally found! A four-man gank targeting the bottom lane's arrival time difference! After securing the dragon, the Rek'Sai ambushed in the bush behind the first tower; Ashe shouldn't be able to retreat!"

"Brown raised his shield and confiscated the drapery!"

Although the three-second shield-raising blocked a significant amount of damage from Taliyah's Q [Stone Pierce], Braum had to use Flash to dodge Rakan's W [Grand Entrance] as he was still some distance from his own Ashe.

"Braum is trying to use his W to jump towards Ashe for a dash!"

Back then, Taliyah wasn't the version that dealt only minor damage in later versions. Li Yi, who had also switched to the Freljord skin, spread out his Sun [Scattering Stones] forward, and Braum, who stepped on a large area of ​​ice stones due to his movement, instantly had his health reduced to almost zero.

A Q-Stone Piercer shot, landing on the quarry, secured Braum's kill.

"Is Ruler still planning to use Flash?"

"He used Flash to dodge the Rock Smash, and at the same time fired Crystal Arrow backwards to try and take down the tanking Excavator. But Excavator used his R skill, Void Rush, to dodge this fatal tower damage!" Miller's voice rose as he watched EDG finally break the deadlock.

"A zero-for-two trade! Let's see what SSG will do in return. If Ambition uses this vanguard to take down the mid tower, then it'll be a net loss!"

The director barely paused, and after confirming that Ashe under the tower was beyond saving, the camera switched to the mid lane.

With a roar, the Rift Herald was summoned, bowing its head to charge towards EDG's mid-lane tower—Samsung clearly wanted to take advantage of EDG's weakened mid-lane defense and directly destroy this crucial defensive tower.

However, the next second, a [Constant Burn] spell descended from the sky, precisely burning away the wave of minions that were trying to push the tower with the Vanguard.

"Wow! This Polish player pushed the lane and is already moving towards mid!" PDD's excited voice rang out. "EDG not only got two kills for free, but Samsung also wasted an opportunity to push using the Rift Herald!"

The Haier Brothers exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

In the past, only LCK teams used this "resource exchange" strategy to torment their opponents in international competitions. LPL teams often found themselves with a huge lead in kills but their base was on fire.

However, judging from the offensive rhythm shown by EDG, SSG actually lost both the battle and the reward!
