LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

"Oh," Xiaotian pretended to shake his head and sighed, "It's too easy."

Everyone in YM watched the IG base on the screen turn into pieces, and listened to the enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience. It was impossible to say that they didn't feel anything in their hearts.

Since returning from the mid-season championship, their state has been up and down for several weeks, and they even lost to JDG, which is at the bottom of the league.

They were hit hard just after they stepped into a high position, and the psychological pressure faced by a group of young people is really not small.

Until they won this game, the YM players finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, IG is not weak now. Even if they lose the duel with YM, they are still first in Group A - because according to LPL rules, when the big score is the same, we must first look at the points difference and the previous games that YM has won. Most of them played 3 games, and the points difference was far behind.

Therefore, it is useless even if they have an advantage in terms of victory or defeat.

"Thank you, Ning." Lin Ran shook hands with Prince Ning with a sincere expression.

In his opinion, IG is simply a shot in the arm, comparable to a power bank.

Prince Ning looked puzzled, and his dark face looked exactly like Nick Young’s black question mark face.

TheShy was still grinning, and for those who didn't know, he thought he had won.

Lin Ran didn't know why this man was so happy after losing the game.

He shook hands with him as usual, and then Lin Ran felt an itch on his hand.

The four eyes are facing each other, and they are separated by one touch.

TheShy still had an enigmatic smile on his lips.

Lin Ran always felt that this person was gay. If you want to shake hands, just shake hands. What does it mean to scratch me with your fingertips?

After shaking hands, everyone in YM came to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience to thank them.

Yuzhen came to the stage with his hand card, leaving Lin Ran and Xiaotian to be interviewed after the game.

Many viewers' eyes immediately lit up when they saw You Xiaotian being interviewed after the game.

They want to know about Garlic Bastard changing his Weibo name before, but these viewers will definitely be disappointed.

It is impossible to raise this kind of issue on official occasions. If the player himself does not take the initiative to respond, it will be treated coldly.

After the routine self-introduction, she asked the first question.

"We also noticed in the past two weeks that the entire team's status has some ups and downs. Today we won the top spot in Group A, IG. What adjustments did the team make?"

The Garlic Bastard was relatively close to the aftershock, but he didn't know how to answer this question, so he pressed his elbow against Lin Ran's waist.

"As I said in the interview after the opening game, version changes are a problem that every team must face. We were also a little confused in the first two weeks..."

Lin Ran held the microphone and said: "This has nothing to do with the status of the players. It's just that they are not used to the version. But it's much better today. I believe the team's status is slowly improving, so there's no need to worry too much."

There were several die-hard fans in the audience screaming and waving YM signs. Usually these people are the most concerned about the club's news. They were very happy that YM's condition had improved.

"We also hope that YM's performance on the court will get better and better..." Yuzhen glanced at his cards and asked his second question, "The first Asian Competition will be held next month. What do you think about it? ?”

Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "I will definitely not disappoint everyone's expectations. We will play every game seriously."

A relatively decent speech.

Lin Ran originally didn't want to be so humble, but then he thought about it. The intercontinental competition is not decided by one person or one team.

The other three teams must cooperate to win the championship.

What if he shouts slogans too loudly and finds out in the end that the situation is out of his control?

Once he is slapped in the face, it will not only be him and YM involved.

After all, Lin Ran couldn't guarantee that no team manager would make such shocking remarks as 'an inferior horse'.

"We will do our best to keep the first intercontinental trophy in the LPL." Lin Ran said very conservatively.

This is their last game before the Intercontinental Tournament.

Ten days later, they will fly to Kaohsiung with three other LPL teams to compete with the other two major regional teams to compete for the championship trophy of the first Asian Competition.

There is no holiday, so everyone in YM trains during the day and reviews games at night to find problems.

After Liu Qingsong won two games in a row as a substitute, he has secured his starting position in the training match.

With such a roaming support that is suitable for the version, YM's training match winning rate has been rising all the way, even higher than the mid-season training match.

However, White Crescent Moon clearly understood that this was somewhat exaggerated.

Now YM can get Rift Herald in just over ten minutes in every training match.

Rift Herald's support to YM is unparalleled. Compared with the mid-season, they did not delay the early offensive rhythm and also gained an additional void beast that pushed towers much faster than ADC.

It can be said that YM is currently the best in the league in terms of tactical arrangement and use of Rift Pioneer.

But what if other teams react and study YM's tactics and strategies and find a way to crack it?

The winning rate will definitely drop.

White Crescent Moon was not idle. Su Cheng proposed a theoretical framework, and he had to make additional modifications to it to make this tactic more perfect.

However, this tactic cannot be perfected overnight, and White Crescent has no clue in a short period of time.

At 7 o'clock in the morning on July 4th, the dull vibrating sound of the mobile phone echoed in the dark and silent dormitory.

The quilt on the single bed moved, and then a hand with sharp bones stretched out from it to turn off the alarm clock on the phone.

"Xiaotian, wake up..." Lin Ran's voice came from under the quilt.

The bastard in the bed next door didn't move at all.

Lin Ran rubbed his eyes and got out of the quilt, his eyes still bloodshot.

Normally, he would have been up and running at this time.

But yesterday, several of their team members got together to watch a horror movie called The Grudge.

Turn off the lights in the training room and draw the curtains, and the atmosphere of a horror movie comes alive.

As soon as Kayako came out, Lin Ranren was paralyzed. The third floor of the YM base was filled with the screams of the team members. The Garlic Bastard immediately dropped his headphones. It wasn't until Guo Hao was provoked that the group of people took a break.

But when sleeping, Lin Ran couldn't control his thoughts. He always felt that Coconut Coconut would come out from under the quilt.

I was so groggy that I barely fell asleep until two in the morning. The quality of my sleep was naturally very poor.

He stared at the ceiling for a minute, then got up, took off his slippers and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

Half an hour later, he wiped his hair and opened the bathroom door, only to find that the thick quilt on Xiaotian's bed still covered him tightly.

"Get up quickly, we have to catch a plane."

Lin Ran slapped him, aiming at Xiaotian's back.

With nearly 20 years of skill in this palm, Lin Ran is confident that the Garlic Bastard can be as energetic as a hero.

Unexpectedly, the shot was empty.

"Huh?" Lin Ran was stunned.

His first reaction was that Xiaotian had already gotten up.

But there was a bulge under the quilt, and he touched it easily.

Then the quilt moved suddenly.

A hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the corner of Lin Ran's pajamas.

Lin Ran's heart stopped for half a beat.

At this moment, he thought of the coconut milk last night.

The wild garlic tortoise emerged from the bed.

He twisted his lips and stuck out his tongue and made a face, "I am Kayako, Luo Luo Luo..."

Lin Ran's face turned pale for a moment.

Then he slapped Xiaotian on the head with nearly twenty years of skill.

"Ignore you, you big-headed devil!"

"Sorry! Don't hit anyone!" Xiaotian was kicked out and ran around the room. "You're not afraid? This is unscientific!"

Lin Ran was secretly thankful while beating him. Fortunately, his face was pale, otherwise Xiaotian would have discovered it.

The two exercised in the morning for five minutes before stopping.

Xiaotian, whose eyes were as red as a rabbit, ran to wash up, while Lin Ran put on his headphones and made a call.

"Are you up?" He spoke in a gentle and soft tone, completely different from before.

"Well... I got up early and am eating pancakes," Su Cheng's lively voice on the other end of the phone said, "Would you like to bring some for you?"

Lin Ran was hungry, "Let's have some pan-fried beef and vermicelli soup. They have breakfast at the base."

"I sent you a list, just follow it and pack your luggage," Su Cheng reminded, "Don't forget to bring your ID card, Taiwan Entry Permit, and Chase Pass..."

"I know, I know," Lin Ran folded the quilt neatly, "Don't just blame me, you should also check your ID."

"I have them all with me, don't worry." Su Cheng yawned, then took a sip of the vermicelli soup.

Lin Ran listened to the yawn on the other end of the phone and suddenly thought of a good idea, "Let's watch a horror movie together when the intercontinental competition comes back?"

"Made in China?" Su Cheng's voice suddenly sounded wary.

"No, no serious person would watch domestic horror movies...except for the old corpse in the mountain village," Lin Ran quickly explained, "Watching those domestic horror movies is better than watching Science. At least the first half is quite scary."

"Oh, sure." Su Cheng agreed.

She will leave for Kaohsiung with the team today.

Fudan's exam week ended relatively early. On June 30, Su Cheng finished the last mathematical analysis AII and was already living her summer life.

By the time Lin Ran and Xiaotian packed their suitcases and locked the door, Guo Hao was already waiting at the stairs on the third floor.

"Where are your documents? Give them to me for safekeeping first. I will give them to you at the airport..."

This trip to Kaohsiung required quite a few documents. Guo Hao did this mainly to ensure that their documents were complete when they left the base.

Seven suitcases with personal name tags were neatly stacked at the gate of the base, and the team members sat around the restaurant to have breakfast.

"Brother Ran, don't you want to eat it?" Xiaotian took a sip of the salted tofu puffs and then took a bite of the deep-fried golden and crispy fried dough sticks with an expression of great enjoyment.

Lin Ran smelled the aroma and felt his stomach protesting more and more fiercely, but when he thought of the fried fish and beef vermicelli soup that Su Cheng brought, he could only shake his head.

"If you don't want to eat, someone will bring it to me later."

Jack held the hot meat bun in his mouth with a satisfied expression on his face, "Then go hungry. It's best to starve to death. Let me show you off. How come everyone has a girlfriend now..."

"Brother Hao, your buns are not ignored by Goubuli, right?" Lin Ran suddenly looked at the manager.

"No, what's wrong?" Guo Hao was a little confused, "Where can I find Tianjin steamed buns in Shanghai?"

Lin Ran sneered, "No wonder Jack eats it. You will ignore him and ignore the buns from now on."

"I'm sorry..." Jack immediately wanted to stand up and prove his throne in the team, but seeing Lin Ran who was half a head taller than him, he still chose to swallow his anger.

For a time, the base and inside were filled with happy air.

Lin Weixiang laughed so hard that he almost spit out his soy milk.

Jin Gong was still asking Xiao Tian what he meant, but the Garlic Bastard had no time to talk to the Xiba people - he was laughing so hard that he couldn't even hold the fried dough sticks.

After several team members had eaten and drank enough, they set off with the hungry Lin Ran, picking up Su Cheng and heading to Pudong Airport.

Lin Ran finally solved his breakfast problem on the way. A big mouthful of vermicelli and two slices of beef entered his mouth, and a mouthful of hot soup successfully warmed his stomach.

It was nearly 10 a.m. when we arrived at Pudong Airport. The buses of the other three teams arrived almost simultaneously, and more than 20 players met outside.

"Wow...brother Ni Meng is so rich." The chubby chicken looked at the BMW behind Lin Ran with some envy.

Since IG has its own sponsors and doesn’t like to accept sponsor advertisements, top-level sponsorships like BMW are still far away for Broiler.

"Their team is really rich," Xiaohu said with a smile. "The champion team member will be extended for two years. This is too cruel."

"What are you still talking about?" Lin Ran glanced at him, "Why don't you give Xiao Ming back?"

"Hehehe." Xiao Ming, who was passing by, suddenly laughed. He put one hand around Prince Ning's waist and stroked Jack's big head with the other. He looked very happy.

Lin Ran saw this scene and quickly thought about it.

Shock! The champion assistant actually got entangled with the two predecessors Edici in front of the current leader. Is behind all this the loss of morality or the distortion of human nature...

Xiye was wearing WE's red and white team uniform, holding a can of Wangzai milk in his hand, "You guys, YM, don't want to monopolize the LPL, do you?"

"Isn't this very easy?" Lin Ran joked, "Want to win the Silver Dragon Cup? Let's wait until I retire."

Xiye couldn't stand such arrogant Lin Ran, "Midehu, how about I make an exception and sacrifice my body to recharge your batteries? The only price is that you must help us avenge and win YM."

There seems to be some kind of wonderful connection between Xiye and Midhu. As soon as Xiaohu finishes playing WE, he becomes full of energy and returns to the state of Tiger Emperor of Spring. He almost uses Xiye as a power bank.

"We can defeat YM without you even needing to recharge." Xiaohu was very proud.

He has also been very swollen recently.

Since the Intercontinental Championship is an intercontinental event mixed with the LPL Summer Split, Tengjing specially arranged the schedule of their four participating teams to be more compact, and the two weeks after the Intercontinental Championship were a little more relaxed to give the players a certain amount of rest time. .

Therefore, the first round of intra-group circulation for the four participating teams has already been completed.

YM, IG and WE are all 4-1, only RNG leads the way, with 10 wins and 1 loss in small games and 5 consecutive wins in big games, ranking first in the league.

Lin Ran only knew that RNG was indeed very strong now, exactly as Xiao Ming and Xiao Hu said before the summer games.

But he didn't know exactly where it was strong.

These days, the YM coaching staff and players have shifted their focus to the intercontinental competition and are not paying much attention to league opponents.

"Can you beat me?" Lin Ran pretended to be disdainful, "You can't just shout with your mouth, right? Are you really going to immediately show up with cloth armor, shoes, gold body and a banshee in the lane?"

"I can't beat you, but we still have Brother Uzi." Xiaohu's expression was as arrogant as if he had nuclear weapons.

"Uzi can't do it," Lin Ran began to exclaim, "I just remember last year when I used the Vampire to kill him with a sudden four."

Xiaohu was not angry and wanted to say something.

But Tengjing CEO Bobby suddenly called Lin Ran over.

As soon as he got close, Poppy put his arm on Lin Ran, looking quite familiar with him.

"Lin Ran..." he whispered, "This intercontinental tournament has the same meaning as the mid-season tournament. Can you understand?"

"I understand," Lin Ran nodded to indicate that he understood, "but we can't win alone."

Bobby nodded, "So I have talked with these managers and coaches a few days ago to ensure that everyone's hearts are together."

"When the time comes to discuss tactics, you will all get together. You won't hide anything." He patted Lin Ran on the shoulder. "As the core of YM, you must ensure the team's status."

"Although you can't win the Intercontinental Championship just by relying on you, but without YM, the championship will most likely be lost."

Lin Ran pursed his lips, but still joked, "What you did like this put me under a lot of psychological pressure."

"You can make progress only when you have pressure," Bobby smiled. "I hope I can watch you holding the cup here."

"Everyone, let's get together and take a photo," he clapped his hands and turned up the volume, "as a souvenir before the trip!"

A group of people crowded over, and Lin Ran realized that there were so many people heading to Kaohsiung.

The coaching staff, managers and players of the four teams, more than ten employees from Tengjing Sports and Riot China, and the official photographer team led by Yi Cun.

There are dozens of people in the vast crowd.

Tengjing staff specially brought the flags of the four teams and the LPL. Two tall leaders, Lin Ran and Jin Gong, stood in the center, holding one corner of the LPL flag.

"Can you take a picture of us all?" Bobby asked loudly.

Ichimura made a no-questions-asked gesture, "Everyone smile...3, 2, 1!"

Everyone faced the camera and smiled, and the picture was frozen.

On July 4, 2017, four teams, YM, WE, RNG, and IG, with the YM championship team as the core, plus star players headed by rookie, TheShy, uzi, mlxg, xiye, and mystic, joined hands to march to Kaohsiung. .

There is only one goal, win the championship!

League of Legends officials quickly obtained this photo and edited it and sent it to Weibo when the LPL team boarded the plane:

At this moment, it’s LPL.

[LPL rush rush! 】

[I took a look. This competition system feels a bit like Tian Ji horse racing? 】

(Some readers may not be familiar with the intercontinental competition system, I will post it in this chapter)

[What kind of competition format does it matter? As long as you can crush the LCK! 】

[Let go of any conflicts between the teams. Win the foreign war first, and then fight again when you come back! 】

[Didn’t anyone say before that SKT lost in the mid-season, but LCK didn’t lose? Are teams like Samsung and KT said to be better than other LPL teams? Won’t their faces be swollen after watching this intercontinental match? 】

Within half an hour of posting on Weibo, the number of comments exceeded 10,000.

Facing the upcoming intercontinental competition, fans of various teams have abandoned their prejudices and temporarily united to cheer for the LPL!

This is the honor of the division!

After a two-hour flight, the LPL expedition personnel landed at Kaohsiung International Airport in the afternoon and drove to their hotel.

Riot Games gave the four LPL teams two floors of a hotel on a two-person-to-a-room basis. After all, Kaohsiung is considered a big city, so there are no big problems with hotel facilities.

In short, the house is okay.

"Isn't the weather here too humid?" Lin Ran quickly turned on the air conditioner to dehumidify. From the moment he got off the plane to the moment he checked into the hotel, the sweat on his back didn't stop.

Kaohsiung, located in Tainan, determines from its geographical location that both the temperature and air humidity are more exaggerated than Shanghai.

Lin Ran looked back at Xiaotian who was squatting on the ground and opening his suitcase, and found that he was much more exaggerated than him.

The slightly long hair hangs down on the scalp, and the bangs are tied as if they have been soaked in water.

"I can't stand it anymore, let's take a shower first!" Lin Ran felt uncomfortable looking at his appearance, so he went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.

"Hurry up and wash it, I'm covered in sweat!" Xiaotian shouted.

Since he had rinsed his body in the morning, Lin Ran spent a quarter of an hour washing off the sweat before rushing out.

Xiaotian grabbed his shorts and rushed inside.

Lin Ran blew his hair and clicked on his phone. Under the leadership of Bobby, the four teams set up a large group chat with all the people in it.

Just now, everyone in White Crescent Moon @went to the training room arranged by Riot Games for a meeting.

"The notice said that there is a meeting. Xiaotian, I will go first. After you wash up, just go up the hotel elevator and go to the conference room No. 1 on the ninth floor!"

Lin Ran knocked on the bathroom door, and after receiving a positive reply from the Garlic Bastard, he quickly dried his hair and walked out of the house wearing his new team uniform.

By chance, I bumped into Su Cheng in the next room. She was wearing no makeup and her face was facing the sky. It could be seen that the ends of her hair were still slightly wet. It looked like she had just washed up.

"Is there anything wrong with your roommate?" Lin Ran asked as the two walked forward together.

Two people sharing a room is also suitable for female staff. In fact, there are also many women from the four teams going on the expedition and the official team. Together, there are exactly eight people sharing four rooms.

"It's good. She and I are schoolmates. She graduated from the School of Management the year before and joined Riot Games..." Su Cheng said with a smile, "I just learned that there is an Internet cafe in Riot Games where you can play League of Legends!"

The two came to the elevator, where many team members were already waiting.

The group took the elevator to the ninth floor.

Across the street is Conference Room 1.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Is it this room?" Uzi spoke first.

"That's what it says on the room number." Mala Xiangguo stepped forward and pushed the door open.

"Wow..." Baolan couldn't help but exclaimed, "Isn't this too strong?"

Not only him, but most of the players present were shocked.

The large conference room of 300 square meters is filled with computer parts and various tables and chairs.

Ten staff members are busy here, assembling computers and gaming chairs.

In the center of the conference room, there are several tactical whiteboards placed.

The huge conference room was transformed into a giant training room!

"How's it going? Is it okay?" Poppy didn't know who he learned it from, so he started to claim credit, "Thanks to me, I worked hard, otherwise the Wanwan organizer wouldn't have made it easier for us."

"How many computers are there?" Lin Ran asked.

"52 units," he puffed out his chest, "all the players and coaching staff have one!"

"There are four rows of long tables in total. Each team can choose one row to use. We have also prepared a set of peripherals. Everyone can use the projection equipment..."

Listening to Bobby's introduction, Lin Ran felt something.

LPL really wants to win.

The computers and chairs were installed very quickly, and in a short time, a perfect e-sports training room was born.

After the staff left, Bai Yueyue walked to the center of the conference room with a stack of materials.

"Everyone choose a seat and sit down first," he said very calmly, "I will say a few words first."

At this time, Xiaotian and other players who arrived at the conference room a little late due to washing problems also saw the shocking room structure.

Even in the base's most spacious and luxurious YM, the training room is only half the area of ​​this conference room!

"In the next week, our four teams will conduct training and tactical communication here..."

"Analysts from the four teams share data, and coaches share tactical system ideas," Bai Yueya, who is the mid-season champion coach, has become the boss. "Tonight, YM will have a training match against the Flash Wolves. The four of us will The two coaches can review it together and brainstorm to see what shortcomings there are.”

He set an example first, and then the three teams had no reason to hide it anymore and expressed their opinions one after another.

"Everything is to win this intercontinental competition!" Bai Yueya said firmly.

"Must win!"

Something's wrong with Ka Wen. Let's send out the 6,400 words first.
