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

Chapter 98 was studied.

"Brother Guang, it's time to shake hands—"

The director's camera slowly zoomed in on the players' seats. EDG's top laner, Mouse, was still sitting blankly in his gaming chair, his hands still resting on the edge of the keyboard, as if he hadn't heard his teammates' voices.

Mouse only snapped out of his daze when Li Yi stood up and patted him on the shoulder; his dazed eyes cleared after a moment.

"Oh, we won!"

Looking at the post-match data on the screen, A-Guang felt a little dizzy. What did I do to get the second-highest damage in the whole game?

It seems like he was just AFK pushing lanes the whole time. His own mid laner told him to push the lane and control the lane, and then he was remotely controlled to defend a mid tower and participate in two team fights.

He walked up to the SSG members.

It's clear that Samsung's players aren't in great form, especially after losing the opening match, which is crucial for the region's morale, and to EDG, a team generally considered strong domestically but weak internationally.

Not only will they inevitably face criticism from Korean netizens on social media, but some may also receive a harsh lesson from the team's notoriously strict jungler.

The one with the worst complexion was naturally the top laner, Withered.

He found it hard to accept.

In the previous game, the Rumble player he was facing off against, except for one opportunity when he didn't have Flash and was caught out, spent the rest of the time controlling the minion wave with an extremely precise rhythm.

Whenever the withered crocodile finishes its equipment and is ready to aggressively dominate the lane, Rumble seems to have received some kind of signal in advance. He either retreats to the tower to avoid the fight, or just as the minion wave pushes forward, a rek'Sai walks out of the jungle and "passes by".

This Rumble, who could still deal the second-highest damage in the game after Xayah, even under the pressure of the LCK solo kill king, actually came from the hands of this seemingly dull and somewhat unfocused top laner?

Crown, the mid-laner, was also somewhat frustrated.

He remembered encountering Li Yi in ranked games; in that match, Li Yi picked Sion to counter his Malzahar.

At the time, he thought to himself that this player must know Malzahar very well, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen such an unconventional counter. After that ranked game, his impression of this ID was "able to withstand pressure and provide support," and "a Malzahar master who plays nine out of ten ranked games."

Judging from the rhythm of Taliyah seizing opportunities today, the timing of interrupting TP, and even every detail of recalling to bait Ashe's ultimate, Li Yi understands more than just one hero.

He seems to really understand me, Crown.

"Brother Chanrong, please tell the training staff when you get back that I need to watch EDG's last five matches in the league."

"Videos." Crown believes that Li Yi must have been studying their SSG's videos to figure out his playing style and habits.

Master An's eyes showed approval, and he nodded to acknowledge his mid laner's attitude of knowing his shame and then striving to improve.

Ruler, who was standing nearby, noticed this little action and quickly turned to the side to add, "Chanyoung hyung, can you arrange a couple of shows for me too? —"

Li Yi and his teammates walked side by side to the center of the stage.

Despite the few scattered shouts from the audience, the group still bowed to the audience in unison.

no way.

Li Yi also wanted to cosplay as Bristleback, but after all, many fans came from mainland China to support them.

Upon entering the lounge, they were first greeted by Coach Nofe, followed by Coach Abu, who had just hung up the phone.

"Oh, I should mention something," Abu said, deliberately lowering his voice, "a little over half of someone's breach of contract penalty and fine has already arrived in our account, and our boss said we'll split it all equally among you as a bonus —"

"Holy crap, a bonus?"

"Can our substitutes win?"

"Nonsense, it's definitely about rewarding those who have made contributions—"

"You guys need to keep your voices down," Li Yi reminded his teammates, hoping that the other three clubs wouldn't hear them.

After all, one is a thrifty and hardworking person, while the other two are deadbeats who owe wages and have bad contracts—Li Yi was afraid that they would be provoked and cause them to underperform on the field.

However, the atmosphere in the lounge is currently quite harmonious.

After all, when the team leader asked them to learn EDG's playstyle a few days ago, everyone was somewhat unconvinced, privately thinking that EDG could only play in internal matches. Now that EDG has defeated the enemy's star player SSG right from the start, everyone is naturally convinced and respectfully relinquishes their top spot.

"Yan Junze, look at you! He's pushing the lane and doesn't give you any chances. If you were him, you'd just cower in the laning phase and get chased down and killed by this withered guy in the mid-game."

"How can you blame me? Did you guys provide me with the vision control that EDG's jungler and support were doing on the sidelines?"

"So whose problem is it?"

"It's definitely Xiaohu. If you ping my face, do you think I wouldn't know how to respond?"

The atmosphere within the RNG team, which didn't lose the game, is indeed quite good. The few guys had just calmed down from their playful banter and blaming each other when the second best-of-one match was about to begin.

In another China-Korea showdown, LCK's fourth seed MVP will face off against LPL's fourth seed OMG.

MVP, in a sense, benefited from the group stage advantage in the LCK Spring Split to squeeze into the top four. Their actual strength ranks last in the league. They are the kind of team that "doesn't look like a strong team, and doesn't play like one either."

However, at this moment, they also picked a mid-jungle combination of Rek'Sai and Taliyah during the BP phase, clearly trying to imitate EDG's strong early and mid-game offensive rhythm in the previous game.

However, OMG's jungler WorId6 secretly learned the jungle Ivern build from Clearlove, and mid laner Icon even picked Lucian to cooperate with the jungler.

The "Hero Field" contestants are like this: although they are all unskilled, they specialize in one variety and have a lot of them.

The result was obvious: Ivern skillfully thwarted the opponent's early-game invasion. Once team fights began, both the jungler and support had buffed Redemption, making MVP's aggressive composition extremely difficult to play.

[Two wins to start, never been better!]

[Throat lozenges are not selling well, please help us ————]

[I want to study for the postgraduate entrance exam in person, what should I do? It seems much quieter than our school library.]

Ming's three-step strategy of "finding a father, supporting a father, and protecting a father" seems to have been most successfully implemented by his own mid-laner, Li Yi.

The second successful player was 0MG's jungler, who reached World Six.

[The next match between SSG and JT is not interesting; they'll probably just play defensively in the early game. Shenqing will be moving to the LPL's secondary stage; let's take a look at Yishen's interview.]

Huya Live Streaming Platform.

Due to the popularity of the Intercontinental Tournament, Zhao Tianyu's live stream room, which has not yet signed a contract with the platform, already has nearly two thousand viewers.

Many people couldn't stand the commentary from Zhihuan and Changmao in the second and third official live streams, so they came to this well-prepared and articulate newcomer's live stream based on the recommendations in the chat.

"Okay, let's take a look at the interview then."

As Zhao Tianyu spoke, he switched the webpage to the secondary stage.

Just then, Li Yi was on stage for an interview: "I'd like to ask Li Yi, in the last wave, you pretended to reveal vision on a ward and recalled. Did your team communicate about this move?"

Li Yi took the microphone: "Back then, Mingkai said that as long as Hanbing Jiaotong University was able to rush the dragon, I said I would give it a try."

We didn't send Mingkai because we were worried he might not be able to react properly due to his age.

"One more question for Li Yi: there was a moment when a Polish player made a mistake on the sideline and was killed by the Renekton. How did you comfort Mouse at that time?"

"Hmm—I told him that Rumble is a champion who should be effective in team fights, but instead he was fixated on split pushing and built a DPS item."

A defeated crocodile is probably useless in team fights.

"One last question: We saw Li Yi's first-person perspective, and many times you gave a signal and your teammates immediately executed it. How do you ensure that your teammates trust your judgment?"

"My teammates are probably afraid I'll steal them away—"
