LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

It was already the afternoon of May 27, domestic time, when we landed in Shanghai.

In addition to fans, Lin Ran was greeted by staff from Riot China and Tengjing Sports.

Tengjing CEO Bobby smiled brightly.

"Well done, Brother Ran," he stepped forward to shake hands with Lin Ran, and then kept patting his shoulder with his left hand, "That pentakill is really handsome!"

There is a reason why he is happy.

The upsurge of public opinion caused by YM's two championships in last year's global finals and this year's mid-season led to the government discovering new treasures.

As Vincent said before the MSI game, due to the performance guarantee brought by this championship, Tengjing's subsequent S7 global finals venue declaration work will be much easier.

Moreover, Shanghai has already been building momentum for e-sports events in the past few days - the news of YM's victory in the Brazilian mid-season tournament was successfully published on Oriental News at 6pm, and it lasted for a full 3 minutes, which can be said to be a good deal.

With the help of the official media and the green light from the government, preparations for this year’s global finals will definitely reach the highest level ever.

Bobby's work is going smoothly. This year's KPI assessment has successfully met the standards. The year-end bonus is estimated to be dozens of months' salary.

YM players took photos outside the airport with everyone who came to pick them up.

Guo Hao kept his brows furrowed and looked worried.

This was the look he had when he left Brazil.

Lin Ran knew what he was worried about.

The mid-season has ended, and Guo Hao's biggest task has been completed.

But that doesn't mean he can take a vacation and relax without any worries.

Since YMA successfully advanced to the LPL before, according to regulations, the same club cannot have two top league teams at the same time.

This resulted in Guo Hao having to sell his spot in YMA's top league.

Here comes the problem.

To whom?

At what price was it sold?

Guo Hao was very distressed.

There are two buyers before him now.

The first one is the runner-up in the LSPL Spring Split. Suning unfortunately lost because of the promotion and relegation match against LGD.

Suning’s desire to enter the e-sports circle is very urgent, and this is a rare advertising opportunity for them.

Another buyer is Belle International, a previous investor in YM.

They were also a little jealous after seeing YM’s explosive traffic after winning consecutive championships.

Belle International now regrets that it did not invest in YM after the end of S6. Now it is too late to spend money again.

BMW China took advantage of the situation and seized a large amount of equity, and it is currently impossible for BMW to transfer these equity shares.

Belle International will not gain anything by continuing to stay in YM.

They want to resell their YM shares to buy YMA, which will make it easier to run a club by themselves, change the name and advertise.

Guo Hao personally prefers to sell to Belle International.

Because if we really get to the bottom of it, YM still owes Belle International a favor.

In the summer of 2016, YM, which had just entered the top league, could not find investors and almost couldn't pay their employees. However, Belle intervened in time to solve their urgent needs.

Therefore, Guo Hao does not mind selling the team to them at a slightly lower price.

But the prices offered by Suning are getting higher and higher. Every time the price is increased, it is 7 figures. It looks like a rich man is domineering and cool.

But the problem is that Suning’s bid is getting higher and higher, and the value of Belle International’s current equity in YM is not enough to buy YMA.

Want to buy? Need to pay more.

While Belle International was approving the funding, it was also actively looking for Guo Hao to clear the relationship.

Guo Hao is affectionate and wants to repay the favor, but he is not a fool. It is impossible for him to sell the team to Belle International at a price that is much lower than Suning's offer.

So the three parties began a tug of war.

Suning has the courage to follow up on whatever price you offer; Belle International also wants to try to lower the price and try to buy YMA at a relatively affordable price; the remaining Guo Hao is caught in the middle.

In fact, another newly promoted team, DAN, also wanted to sell their spot for a quick buck, but Belle International and Suning were not interested in this, and their bids were much lower.

It’s not that these two companies like to play double standards.

But although DAN and YMA both have LPL quotas, the overall situation of the teams is quite different.

In terms of record, DAN is the third runner-up in this year's secondary league spring split. In the promotion and relegation matches, it is still a competitive team like VG. If it encounters the complete LGD, it will probably be swept away like Suning.

YMA swept the second place SNG in the regular season 3:0 in the second-tier league final and was directly promoted to the LPL without the promotion and relegation competition. Its strength is evident.

Team performance is inseparable from player strength, and what DAN can offer is the bottom lane duo.

ADC qiuqiu and auxiliary Cat were nicknamed the Cat Ball combination in the secondary league. At first glance, they sounded similar to SKT's Wolf Club combination, but their strength was far different - Prophet was able to abuse Cat when he was still in the LSPL.

And what about YMA?

The famous golden left hand.

This is the fifth player to become famous in the secondary league after Brother Shengqiang, doinb, Lin Ran, and Jack.

Countless people are optimistic about his future, and some even think that he will become the next Lin Ran and take over the banner of the YM series mid laner.

The golden left hand still has a year and a half left in his YMA contract.

Who wouldn’t want this kind of instant combat power plus talented monsters?

Belle International and Suning's competing bids for YMA are actually competing for the ownership of the golden left hand.

These two days were a critical stage for the tripartite negotiations. Guo Hao was so busy that his mouth was blistering.

But this has nothing to do with Lin Ran.

The team members' vacation has just begun.

The summer season will start on June 8, and the players only need to get back to the base before June 4.

After a 35-hour flight, Lin Ran was suffering from jet lag. He fell asleep the moment he returned to the base and took a shower and put his hands on the pillow.

When he woke up again, it was already the morning of May 28.

Xiaotian was quietly packing his luggage for home in the room.

"Are you leaving now?" Lin Ran asked, stretching on the bed.

"I see everyone has left, and there are not many people left in the base." Xiaotian replied as he zipped up his suitcase.

The team members are all gone, but Jack can only stay at the base to look after the house.

His parents, like Lin Mingdong, are currently on a business trip.

With no one at home, he might as well stay at the base.

"Poor Jack, no one stays with him?" Before leaving, Xiaotian carried the suitcase and let out a long sigh, somewhat aggrieved for his Shiba Inu, "I feel sorry for him so much, how about you?"

Lin Ran walked out of the room with a towel around his neck. He glanced at Garlic Bastard and said, "Then why are you taking the suitcase? Are you staying with him?"

Xiaotian pretended to shake his head, "I can't help it, my parents need me more..."

"Ah, get out of here, get out of here!" Jack got angry when he saw Xiaotian carrying a suitcase dangling in front of him.

"It's okay Jack, I'm here," Lin Ran said, "I can't go home either, so we can be company."

Jack patted Lin Ran's shoulder excitedly, "This is what we call good brothers who share weal and woe! Let's have braised pork for lunch!"

"I'm treating you tonight. You can order whatever you want!"

"Just casual?" Lin Ran's eyes lit up.

After spending two weeks in Brazil, he missed the taste of his hometown.

Lin Ran was just thinking about whether to eat bisnail shrimp or squirrel mandarin fish for dinner, when his phone suddenly rang.

It's Su Cheng.

"Why didn't you reply to the message I sent you yesterday?"

After hearing this, Lin Ran glanced at the unread messages subconsciously. Su Cheng asked him out on a date yesterday evening.

He was so asleep that Lin Ran didn't even hear him.

"It's Sunday today, how about we go out for a meal and watch a movie?" Su Cheng's voice was lively and energetic, "You just came back from Brazil and you must be craving for hometown food, right? I found a Subang restaurant, Squirrel Squid. The fish tastes good, we can have a meal there."

"As for movies, Pirates of the Caribbean 5 was just released the day before yesterday. I read online reviews that were pretty good."

"Ah..." Lin Ran glanced at Jack with a slightly embarrassed look.

The Shiba Inu was still unaware. He was holding a takeout steamed dumpling box and watching Da Sima's video. He was amused by the meat, eggs, onions and chicken.

"You didn't make an appointment with someone, right?" Su Cheng heard the hesitation in Lin Ran's words and was a little disappointed, "I have to go to class tomorrow..."

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment.

He had just agreed to stay with his good friend Jack, but it was impossible for him not to stay with his girlfriend...

Lin Ran came up with a way to get the best of both worlds in the shortest possible time.

He wants them all!

An hour later, Su Cheng was sitting in the restaurant, looking at Jack who was munching on braised pork across from him, but he still hadn't come back to his senses.

Lin Ran, the instigator sitting next to him, stared at the food on the table without saying a word.

The atmosphere at the table was awkward for a moment.

"Sister Su, don't you want to eat this braised pork?" Jack looked up and asked after enjoying the meal.

Su Cheng smiled kindly, "You go ahead and eat more."

Jack was not polite and continued to put his head down and put rice into his mouth with the braised pork soup.

Su Cheng stretched out her fingers, used the cover of the table to pinch the flesh of Lin Ran's waist and twisted it.

"hiss……"

Lin Ran quickly turned on his phone to send a message.

【I made a mistake. 】

Su Cheng's phone vibrated twice.

She picked it up, read it, and then typed.

【What's wrong? 】

Su Cheng finished typing but hadn't sent it yet.

After reading her reply silently, she felt that her tone was a bit aggressive, so she deleted it and changed it again.

[You are right, I was wrong]

Su Cheng frowned and read it silently again, feeling that the tone was still not quite right, like a hermaphrodite.

She is not Xiaotian, how could she speak in such a tone.

Change again.

Before he finished editing the message, Lin Ran sent another one.

[I shouldn’t have brought the Shiba Inu here, blame me, blame me, blame me...]

Behind was the repeater. Su Cheng looked at it and felt that he almost didn't recognize the word "blame me".

Su Cheng couldn't understand Lin Ran's brain circuit.

[How did you come up with the idea of ​​bringing Jack to have dinner with us? Is he your son? 】

It really is.

But Lin Ran naturally wouldn't say that.

[I just took a 35-hour flight back to China, and the jet lag hasn’t come over yet, so I’m feeling dizzy. 】

[Jack was alone in the base with no one to accompany him, so I couldn’t bear to take him with me. 】

Lin Ran first stated the objective facts and then immediately proposed compensation measures.

[This holiday, I will be with you whenever you want. I will accompany you when you go shopping, eat, watch movies, and even go to self-study. 】

Su Cheng was a little helpless.

She knew that both of them were busy at ordinary times.

One stays in the base training and playing games almost every day, while the other wanders between the classroom and the library all day long. The two of them mostly meet as analysts and team members.

However, both of them also know that young people have to work harder, and frequent dates are not necessarily a good thing.

Now that they have been dating for more than half a year, they can count on one hand the number of times they have gone on alone dates.

Therefore, Su Cheng was fully prepared for this date in advance.

She specifically asked her father to find a Subang cuisine restaurant with a good reputation, and then went to try the taste first to make sure there were no major problems before putting the restaurant on her schedule.

The movies are also specially selected.

Su Cheng remembered that Lin Ran often talked about the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean with his classmates when he was in high school, and this time he finally caught up with the movie's release.

She also read the comments on the Internet last night and made sure that the movie was not too toxic and that the two of them could watch it together.

After lunch, she went to watch this 129-minute movie, which lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon until the end of the evening. The two of them happened to have dinner again. Lin Ran returned to the base, so she could go back to the rental house and review the content of tomorrow's class.

It was a perfect itinerary plan, but unexpectedly it was completely disrupted by Lin Ran.

Su Cheng got angry thinking about this.

[Then you eat with me every night] She poked at the keyboard of her phone hard.

Jack raised his head when he heard the noise, and then realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere between Lin Ran and Su Cheng.

He frowned.

"You two..."

Su Cheng and Lin Ran had an extremely tacit understanding and quickly turned off their phones.

"Why don't you eat?"

Lin Ran held his forehead and was speechless.

He thought Jack saw something, but he didn't expect the Shiba Inu to say such a thing.

Jack's eyes were bright, and he had the same expression as ADC when he saw the head, "Don't say hey, the salt and pepper steak in this restaurant tastes really good!"

"Why should we go after lunch?" Jack answered before Lin Ran and Su Cheng could speak, "Let's watch a movie!"

"How about Pirates of the Caribbean?" Jack asked the two of them for their opinions.

"Okay, okay, it's okay..." Lin Ran had no objection, he lowered his head and continued typing.

[I promise you, let’s eat first. 】

Su Cheng's anger was mostly gone.

She was originally angry because she didn't have much time alone with Lin Ran, and the light bulb was causing trouble.

Now that Lin Ran promised to make time to accompany her, Su Cheng felt uneasy.

[Would it waste too much time? 】

The Handan campus of Fudan where Su Cheng is located is far away from the YM base, and the taxi fare is three digits.

Coupled with the daily traffic jams in Shanghai, it would be nice to be able to run back and forth in two hours.

In other words, Lin Ran would have to spend a whole night to have dinner with Su Cheng.

[There is a method that allows me to save time without delaying my daily training. 】Lin Ran thought for a long time and typed a reply.

【? 】Su Cheng replied with a question mark.

[I will buy a new computer and live in your rental house for a week. 】

【? ? ? 】 Su Cheng replied with three question marks, "What are you thinking about?"

[Your rental house is so big, it’s not good for one person to live there. 】Lin Ran was serious.

Su Cheng didn't reply and buried his head in the bowl to eat the ostrich.

After the meal, the three of them ran to the cinema in a nearby business district.

The flow of people on weekends is quite large, and the business district is crowded with young people. Lin Ran looks very eye-catching when walking inside.

Most people who play LOL can recognize him at a glance - even those Brawl players who don't pay attention to the game. As long as they open the game client, they can see Lin Ran's photo.

Not that Jack, a fellow champion, was inconspicuous.

Mainly because he is too short.

Su Chenggao, who was not yet wearing flat shoes, couldn't see Jack in the crowd.

When picking up tickets at the theater, Lin Ran also took photos with several fans.

While waiting to check in, Lin Ran saw photos of himself, Jack and Su Cheng walking together in Hupu.

In just a few minutes, there were already a lot of comments below.

[Isn’t the real person too handsome? Height and body shape are simply perfect! 】

[Am I the only one who cares about Jack's head? Without editing, this head would be ridiculously big! 】

[Is that woman the analyst who was revealed before? 】

[Yes, that’s right, it is said that the professional level is quite reliable. 】

[Why do these three people look like a family of three when they walk together? 】

[Like a family of three? Why do I feel like a light bulb? 】

That last comment hit home the truth.

It's in bad shape, I'll adjust it
