LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

Everyone in YM stood up and went to shake hands with the H2K members.

Yue Lun's expression was quite calm, but he had some tinnitus. After taking off his headphones, he felt that Lulu was still laughing in his ears.

Lin Ran bowed at the center of the stage and went back to pack his peripherals.

As soon as he walked to the player tunnel, he was pulled by Vincent from Riot Games for an interview.

JKL also participated, and it was the LPL team that invited him.

The person interviewing Lin Ran was still the tall blonde female host, who was about as tall as Lin Ran in high heels.

Standing next to Lin Ran is Vincent, who wears many hats, including Riot's player manager and a bilingual translator in Chinese and English.

Earn one salary and work two jobs, known as the little fist chicken.

"First of all, congratulations on your 6-game winning streak in the group stage, and advancing to the top 8 as the first in the group..." Vincent translated, "May I ask what you think about breaking the record for the highest KDA in Bang's global finals? ?”

Seeing Lin Ran's confused look, he quickly approached and reminded, "Your KDA in the group stage is 73, which is higher than Bang's 71 last year."

"Well..." Lin Ran pondered for two seconds, "This is not surprising, after all, our opponents in the group stage did not put much pressure on us, and the mid laner's team participation rate is originally higher than that of the ADC. As long as we ensure It’s OK if the number of deaths is low enough.”

"What do you think of your opponents in the quarterfinals?" Vincent asked his second question, "Or which team do you prefer to meet?"

"EDG, ANX and Samsung, right?" Lin Ran didn't hesitate about this question, "It's nothing special, it's the same for everyone, there is no difference."

"If you want to go further, you will always encounter strong enemies. There is no use worrying about it." Lin Ran rubbed his wrist. On his right hand was the wristband Su Cheng gave him.

"If your skills are not as good as others, you will be eliminated sooner or later. The key is to enhance your own strength. You also need to be tough to fight," Lin Ran added, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion."

After the interview, Lin Ran was left to serve as the draw representative for the quarter-finals.

He was sitting on a bench in the backstage corridor, with staff members coming and going around him.

He chatted with GorillA, the assistant of the Tigers, who was nicknamed Daddy and had a gentle temper. He smiled at everyone.

Not long after, the factory director and Uzi also rushed over. GorillA was accompanied by Samsung's cuvee. Finally, SKT's faker sat down with a can of Coke.

At first, Yue Lun planned to communicate with several players, but just halfway through, he saw faker appear.

He quickly turned his back to find the big Russian brothers of ANX. Both of them spoke English with strong Korean and Russian accents.

"Where did you get this can of Coke?" Lin Ran was a little greedy. He hadn't drank Coke for several months, so he inevitably missed it.

"Isn't there a refrigerator in the team lounge?" Cuvee asked curiously.

"It closed long ago, and we were all kicked out." Dad's English is pretty good, "But I remember there are vending machines outside."

"I didn't buy this... I got it from Junzhi," Faker hesitated and said, "I saw that he didn't drink even half of it, so I brought it here."

Junzhi is Bae Junzhi, Bang’s real name.

After saying that, Faker poured tons of Coke into his mouth.

By the time the draw for the quarter-finals started, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Two presenters held microphones and introduced the eight teams and representative players participating in the draw to the audience on site and in front of the live broadcast room.

When Lin Ran was introduced, the audience applauded and cheered loudly. Although there was still a gap compared with the long-established players, it was not easy for Lin Ran, who entered the World Championship for the first time.

"Let us once again welcome the eight teams that have entered the S6 knockout rounds!" The host raised his voice, "They are RoxTiger, SKT, YM, and RNG who are the first in the group stage!"

"With ANX, EDG, H2K, and SSG who are second in the group!"

The audience applauded.

Lin Ran and the other three representative players from the first team in the group stood on one side, looking at the four players from the second team in the group on the other side.

The two second-half commentators, Zeyuan and Zhou Keer, were still in charge of the draw for the quarterfinals.

"Europe and the United States are a bit miserable this year," Zeyuan said, looking at the all-out Asian faces at the draw ceremony. "Three LPL teams and three LCK teams, plus a CIS wild card, have seized a total of seven places in the quarterfinals. quota.”

"North America is completely wiped out this year," Zhou Ke'er nodded in agreement. "Europe is mainly held back by G2. They are really an expert in the civil war and an outsider in the outside world. This year's MSI went 2-8 and failed to advance out of the group in the S competition."

At this time, there were nearly a million viewers in front of the live broadcast room eagerly waiting for the results of this lottery ceremony.

Su Cheng had just returned to the rental house with her schoolbag on her back, and also turned on her computer to watch the live broadcast of the lottery.

She looked at the black wristband on Lin Ran's right hand on the screen, pursed her lips and smiled unconsciously, her clear eyes shining with light.

The lottery guest invited today is the famous North American AD Yegui Ge.

Without hesitation, he reached into the No. 1 pool and drew the first lot.

Yellow and red wings team logo - SKT.

The real-time grouping status is displayed on a large screen in the center of the venue.

After SKT was drawn, they moved to the top left corner.

The second one drawn was RNG, and they were placed in the lower left corner.

"This draw..." domestic Ze Yuan analyzed, "If SKT and RNG both win their respective opponents, then they will meet in the semi-finals."

"Then the Tigers and YM will definitely be on the other side." Zhou Keer said nonsense.

After that, the two teams ROX and YM were arranged to the right area.

The first four teams were broken up and reorganized, looking at each other from a distance, eager for the Summoner's trophy in the middle.

"The next thing to be done is the drawing of lots for the second pool to determine the four first-place opponents in the group," Zeyuan explained the rules to the audience. "Of course, the principle of not meeting each other in the same group is still adhered to."

"For example, YM and H2K are ranked first and second in Group C, but they will not meet in the quarterfinals. Once they are drawn together, they will shift positions."

“Let’s have a civil war in the LCK, please!”

"The probability of 2/4 should be very high, right? Can Samsung compete with two LCK teams first? I can still accept that the top four will have at most two LCK teams."

"Look at SKT's opponent...H2K!" Zeyuan looked at the lottery in the guest's hand. The H2K team logo on it was very eye-catching, "This game is interesting!"

"Yue Lun is really inescapable against Faker," Zhou Keer said while suppressing a smile.

The barrage in the live broadcast room has exploded.

"Yue Lun:??? WDNMD, you can't avoid it for the rest of your life, right?"

"Hahaha, Yue Lun is really miserable. I guess this is the end of it for them, right?"

"Can Faker pick a robber in the quarter-finals to play off Yue Lun's mentality? I like to watch the fun the most."

Faker smiled, walked down the stage to find Yue Lun opposite, and then left the stage hand in hand.

But before leaving, Lin Ran clearly saw that Yue Lun's face was as black as coal, and his expression was just like that of the coal-mining brothers Broiler and Kakao.

The second one is RNG’s opponent...ANX!

"What a great draw!" Ze Yuan clapped his hands and exclaimed, "ANX in the wild card division can be said to be the weakest among the eight teams."

"The main reason is that this team doesn't have mature S-match experience yet," Zhou Keer explained. "It's okay to rely on small routines to win BO1. If it really reaches BO5, it still needs to fight with real swords and real guns. It should not be RNG's. opponent."

"That's right, the next one to draw should be YM's opponent," Zeyuan said, "Choose one between Samsung and EDG. Let me pray for YM, okay?"

"EDG will definitely be drawn in this wave. Let's fight a civil war and send one of the top four away!" Zeyuan's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"That's what I think too. We'll draw EDG this time!" Zhou Ke'er nodded in agreement, "In this way, the second half will be a civil war between LPL and LCK. In this way, LPL can guarantee two top four seats. Compared with S5's The grades should be improved a lot.”

"Shut up, please!"

"Are the two badass commentators calling you crazy? Stop being silly!"

The audience said don't give up, but what they thought in their hearts was that it would be best to get into the top 8 civil war. They could still vaguely recall the scene of Samsung's brutal attack on RNG in the last group match.

There is no soft persimmon among the LCK teams that come out to compete in the global finals!

Lin Ran's heart was beating fast as he stood on the stage. He couldn't tell whether he was nervous or excited.

It is true that the pressure of the civil war with EDG is very small. After all, they have just defeated their opponent in the summer finals, and EDG's current state is clearly different...

But as he said in a previous interview, if you want to go further, you cannot be afraid of any opponent that comes.

The guests who drew lots chose one of the two, and quickly selected the enemy that YM would face from the second pool.

The guest took a peek and couldn't help laughing.

He unfolded the strip facing the camera and the live audience.

An asymmetrical blue shield is printed on the orange-backed note, which looks very aesthetic.

Samsung, SSG!

"Ah this..." Zeyuan opened his mouth in surprise.

"It's broken, it's broken," Zhou Ke'er shook his head, "What should we do? Samsung is very strong, and EDG will also suffer."

At this moment, countless viewers watching the live broadcast let out heavy sighs.

Samsung was quickly assigned to the upper right corner, below the YM team logo.

Lin Ran and Cuvee shook their heads together, with weird expressions on their faces that they didn't know whether they were crying or laughing.

The two held hands together.

"See you in the quarterfinals." Lin Ran whispered in English as he walked backstage.

"You too." Cuvee, the fat little man, gave Lin Ran a deep look.

Both of them knew that they were going to face a tough battle next.

The last draw was symbolically drawn, and EDG became the Tigers' opponent.

"In this way, all the lottery results for the quarter-finals have been determined," Zeyuan quickly relieved his surprised and helpless mood and said loudly, "The top half is SKT vs. H2K, RNG vs. ANX."

"The lower half is YM vs. SSG, ROX vs. EDG."

"I hope our three LPL teams can perform at their best in the quarterfinals and break through themselves!"

"Friends, audience, see you in the quarterfinals on the 14th!" Zhou Keer waved goodbye to the camera.

"I'm sorry! Can Teng Jing take care of it? Do you have to let Zhou Ke'er, the poisonous bitch, be included in the lottery ceremony?"

"Don't just talk about Zhou Ke'er. I don't think that guy named Zeyuan is a good guy. He just has a hard time with our LPL, right?"

"Brothers, the culprit of the draw for the quarter-finals has been found. His Weibo name is: Senior Brother Daidai. Let's go with me to attack him!"

"This wave, this wave is called LPL semi-finals one versus three."

"Only RNG can secure the top four, right? EDG has no chance of being designated. I think YM should play 50-50 with SSG and see how it performs then."

"It's still 50/50? What's Samsung's BO5 level? I don't have a B in mind?"

Even though the lottery ceremony has ended, the barrage in the live broadcast room is still full of screens, and everyone is relieving themselves to vent their emotions.

Su Cheng looked at the lottery results and bit her lower lip subconsciously. She opened the notebook next to her. Since she became an assistant analyst, the contents of the originally thin notebook have become two or three times thicker.

As netizens said, Samsung is definitely a strong opponent in the BO5 situation. You can get an insight into their general strength from their counterattack in the summer bubble game.

YM's quarterfinals are scheduled for October 15th, and they still have five days to prepare.

But there is not enough time, and there are too many things that need to be prepared for BO5.

Outside the venue, everyone in YM was still waiting for Lin Ran who had returned from the draw, and Xiao Yao slapped him when he came up.

"Ouch... I shouldn't have let you go. If I had been on stage, this would not have been the result!" Garlic Bastard complained, "How great would it be to beat EDG and send him to the semi-finals?"

"Stop nagging, go back and prepare Samsung's information," Han Yi said with a frown, "We don't have much time left."

After a ride back to the hotel, they will head to Chicago the next day, where the quarterfinals will be played at the famous Chicago Theater.

As soon as they returned to the hotel, everyone in YM began to practice ranking. The lottery had been drawn. They knew that they could not activate time and space to go back and change the established facts, so they could only choose to accept it.

Han Yi and the main analyst have been chatting with Su Cheng on the side, searching for all the opponent information they can collect.

Even Lin Ran, who always went to bed early, practiced until midnight before returning to his room to catch up on his sleep.

The next evening they finally arrived in Chicago and found a burger restaurant outside to finish their dinner.

However, everyone at YM did not expect that something would happen as soon as they entered the hotel.

The chief analyst, who was in his thirties, had a stomachache.

"Hiss..." After rushing to the bathroom for the fourth time in a row, the main analyst opened the door to the room and bent down on the bed. Brother Hao quickly handed him the diarrhea medicine.

The lead analyst took it and ate it with a cup of hot cocoa.

"I must have turned on the air conditioner too much last night and my stomach got cold." He sighed, "Everything is not going well..."

"You should have a good rest first," Brother Hao wrapped him up in a quilt on the bed. "You can resume work only after you have recovered as soon as possible."

The chief analyst still wanted to show off, but his stomach that had been throbbing told him that his body could not work at high intensity now.

"I know what you are worried about," Brother Hao said, "Han Yi is responsible for formulating the training plan for these two days, and I leave all the tactical arrangements to Xiao Su."

"When she lists out the entire tactical outline, I'll take a look at it for you," Brother Hao patted the old man on the back, "When the time comes, you can just suggest modifications."

Seeing that the chief analyst was still uneasy, he added, "After these days of communication, you also know that Xiao Su's ability is not weak. We all see her progress, so don't worry."

The chief analyst could only nod, "I'm really old. I remember when I stayed up all night every day, drank and smoked all the time... I didn't expect that now I've reached the age of making hot wolfberry tea."

Su Cheng in China is also worried.

When she was in danger, she had to make reasonable plans, find Samsung's weaknesses in the few games, and give YM an extra chance to win.

This is no easy task.

Samsung... Su Cheng first picked up the two games they lost in the group stage in an attempt to find the problem.

But there is nothing special. Samsung's two losses in the group stage were quite satisfactory, and they were snowballed to death by their opponents.

Cuvee, ambition, crown, ruler, corejj, among these five, cuvee on the road has the best personal strength.

In the 6 games in the group stage, he completed 5 solo kills, including top laners such as Looper and Mr. Oki, who were champions of the S game. His performance was extremely impressive, not losing to smeb, who topped the top 20 of this year's players.

Crown Brother performed well when he got Victor, but the performance of other heroes was not stable. Ruler was still a young player, and Leader An was old...

How did they beat RNG with nearly 20,000 gold in 23 minutes?

Su Cheng was puzzled.
