Lesson description

In this episode, Jensen analyzes the laning phase of two diamond ELO mid laners. The match-up is LeBlanc versus Ahri. It should favor LeBlanc early, but due to mistakes on both sides, nobody ends up winning the lane. Watching from LeBlanc’s perspective, Jensen notes that none of these players know their role very well and should pressure more. While Ahri is doing the right thing pushing the wave, LeBlanc isn’t, and that is a big mistake because he could be jumping in on Ahri’s face. When the wave bounces back, the diamond player’s mechanics are not up to par, so he ends up missing on a lot of damage and pressure. LeBlanc goes for a good trade but doesn’t perform her combo correctly, and in the end, the lane goes even when it shouldn’t.

Lesson: INTRODUCTION TO JENSEN part of class: Jensen Class: Mid Lane by Jensen | GamerzClass

1. INTRODUCTION TO JENSEN

Jensen is currently playing for Team Liquid as their mid laner and is presently the most dominant NA player in the role. Having played games since he was a child, Nicolaj has dedicated his life to playing League of Legends and becoming the best.

2. INTRODUCTION TO MID LANE

It is essential to have a lot of game knowledge to be a very good mid laner because the role can have a significant impact across the map. In this episode, Jensen introduces the importance of being a great mid laner and talks about his game philosophy.

3. MID LANE FUNDAMENTALS

In professional play, there will always be a meta because some heroes are a little bit stronger than others and provide more tools. However, in solo queue, you can make anything work as long as you play the champion well and always push it to the limit.

4. MID LANE CHAMPIONS – WIN CONDITIONS

In this episode, Jensen covers the most popular and powerful mid lane champions in the current meta. He explains the advantages and weaknesses of each and gives a brief overview of how you want to play Syndra, Orianna, Yasuo, Ryze, Akali, Cassiopeia, and LeBlanc.

5. MOVEMENT

It is vital to pay attention to your movement and positioning and always avoid becoming predictable. In this episode, Jensen talks about one of the most underrated aspects of the game - movement.

6. HOW TO TRADE – EVEN MATCHUP

In this episode, Jensen plays Veigar into Fizz and shows you how to get through the early game and how to survive against an assassin as an immobile squishy mage.

7. HOW TO FREEZE

Freezing is a potent tool you can use in the early game to punish heroes that are weak during the first few minutes of the game. It's especially at this stage that you want to use freezing because later in the game, you will want to push waves and move around the map.

8. STRONG EARLY GAME

In this episode, Jensen analyzes a game where he plays Syndra into Twisted Fate. This matchup favors Syndra due to her long-range abilities, poke, and all-in potential. He explains how he controls the wave perfectly in his favor and manages to secure a 17 creep score lead before the first recall timing.
