LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

EDG post-game lounge.

The place was shrouded in a pervasive low pressure, and all the team members sat in their respective chairs without saying a word.

The big screen in the lounge, which has been set to silent mode, is still playing the live game.

Lin Ran, who had just scored five kills, won the MVP of the previous game without any suspense with a +6934 matchup differential, 52.1% team damage ratio, and 220.0% damage conversion rate.

On the screen, he and Merlin gunner Tristana were staring at the EDG crowd.

"Scout, don't be so aggressive and always think about overpowering the opponent. What you have to do is not to kill the opponent alone, but to restrict him to the middle!"

A high-pitched voice sounded, and iboy withdrew his gaze from Lin Ran on the screen.

Abramovich, who no longer serves as the head coach, ignored his status and stressed to several players the details to pay attention to during the game. Head coach Nofe stood aside and added a few words from time to time.

"Pay attention to the military line. Do you dare to move up to any military line position?" Abu's voice became sharper, and it seemed that he was really anxious.

After a season of ups and downs, EDG finally appeared in the playoffs in a complete form, and the management naturally did not want to fall here.

Although judging from the current situation, EDG can keep their place in the bubble tournament even if they lose this semi-final, the difficulty of qualifying for the bubble tournament is well known. If EDG does not advance to the summer finals, they must win three consecutive bubble tournaments with points. Only a BO5 can enter S7.

No one wants to gamble on that unknown possibility unless they have to.

Scout took off his black-rimmed glasses, closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his long fingers.

He recalled last year's summer split finals, when he was the starter and lost two games in a row.

At that time, Fat General, who was injured and played in the game of life and death, came on to wipe his ass. Although he lost the final, it also helped him attract some pressure from public opinion.

But now, the old-timer Fat General has returned to the embrace of his motherland, Smecta, and he is the only mid laner in EDG.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," the factory director, as the well-deserved leader of this team, stood up, "We have no escape route. With our current strength, we can even enter the World Championship in the bubble competition!"

The factory director is confident in saying this. This is his fourth year joining EDG. He has never missed the World Championship in the previous three years.

He believes this year will be no exception.

iboy glanced at the watch on the wall, he was eager to try and was very optimistic, "At 7 o'clock in the evening, it's our turn to perform!"

The newcomers' jokes eased the already gloomy and tense atmosphere in the lounge. Gui Jiaoqi glanced sideways at his ADC who looked like a flounder.

However, he is not a spoiler at this time. If playing tricks on himself can help his teammates adjust their condition, the factory director doesn't mind doing so.

He called on his four other teammates to fold their palms together.

"EDG, come on!"

On the commentary desk, Doll Miller had just finished inserting a sponsor advertisement when he saw members of the two teams appearing on the player bench.

"This is a life-or-death situation for EDG," Watanabe took the lead and brought the topic back to the game, "They are one step away from the cliff. If they lose this game, they will have to meet WE and IG in the bubble match. "

"The situation is very serious for them," Miller nodded in agreement, "but everyone in EDG has adjusted their mentality very well and does not seem to be affected by the defeat in the previous game."

On the big screen at the scene, I didn't know what good news I heard. The optimistic Aguang smiled brightly. His facial expression was extremely rich, and his long tongue stretched out to lick the corners of his mouth, as if he was cosplaying Tam.

[This smile is so classic. 】

[Laughing hammer? I just clicked in and saw Aguang smiling so happily. I thought it was EDG2:0YM. How can a person who is about to be swept away still laugh? 】

【Do you want me to cry all the time? Sorry I can't do it. 】

The facial expressions of the YM people on the other side looked much more serious than those of EDG, but that was just an appearance.

"What should we eat after get off work?" Jack asked while shaking his legs.

Liu Qingsong put forward his own opinion, "How about youpo noodles? I know there is a noodle shop in the surrounding business district..."

"No, I want to eat meat," Jack objected quickly, "The big kind."

"Then why are you asking us?" Liu Qingsong almost wanted to curse after hearing Jack's words.

"What you said is wrong, Mr. Tear. Meat can be prepared in many ways, such as steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck..." Jack shook his head and climbed up the pole.

Liu Qingsong finally couldn't help but start arguing with the big-headed Shiba Inu, and the team's voice was all silenced.

It wasn't until the BP started that they all stopped and made peace, planning to wait until the game was over before competing again.

"YM took the initiative to choose the red side in this game," Miller exclaimed, "This is a bit strange. Nowadays, few teams will take the initiative to choose the red side."

The Incense Burner version has been played for nearly a month, and every professional team has understood that the red side must assume the ban position of Kalista.

Although it is possible to get Xia Luo at the same time, it still cannot make up for the huge disadvantage of a fixed ban position.

But White Crescent didn't just consider BP, but focused on the overall situation and based on the overall situation.

Although the red side has a BP disadvantage, YM is very good at handling the red side's game, and their jungle planning route will be more changeable.

Another key point is that White Crescent wants to set up a trap on BP.

As the defender on BP, the red side cannot take the initiative to attack, but it can set up traps to disrupt the enemy's layout in the last counter position.

"The blue side EDG will ban the rock bird first," Miller wanted to talk about his understanding of the red and blue side's choice, but both teams have already started to ban people, "the red side YM will block Kalista as usual."

In the second hand, EDG and YM chose to ban Spider Queen and Excavator respectively.

When it came to the last ban position in the first round, nofe hesitated, thought for a long time and finally decided to block Kenan.

"Eh?" Wawa said in surprise, "Can't EDG ban Ran's hot-touch cannon?"

"If Scout still wants to use mid laner Lucian, logically speaking, this little cannon shouldn't be released..." Miller also felt baffled, but there were only two of him and the baby on the commentary stage, and the professional ethics of not being silent made him have to When I received the doll, I naturally didn’t have time to think about the reason.

The ball was kicked to White Crescent Moon.

He frowned and figured out the opponent's coach's plan.

If you want to use the mid laner's small cannon to deal with Lucian, in the current jungle position, except for the spider, all the versions are responsible for the front row team opening and damage resistance tasks, and the top laner can only supplement the AP output.

If Kennen is banned, Rambo will be the only AP top laner that adapts to the current version.

The crux of the problem is that White Crescent Moon doesn't want to give Kingong Rambo.

Because this hero's top lane does not match YM's thinking.

The reason is also very simple. This hero has short legs and no movement, and the speed of pushing the line is very fast. This determines that Rambo needs the protection of his teammates very much.

And Xiaotian can't abandon the middle and lower lanes to help Jin Gong guard - he can help the Xiba people gank at the right time to establish an advantage, but Rambo needs the jungler to wander around in the upper half to help defend, otherwise He pushed the line across the river and was an example of someone who dared to be caught and dared to die.

nofe was determined that White Crescent Moon would not dare to give Jin Gong a Rambo. Without an AP hero, Lin Ran could not play AD mid lane, and there was no way to choose a small cannon.

He is equivalent to banning two heroes with one ban position.

After understanding the general idea of ​​the opponent's coach, Bai Yueya was confused.

He couldn't figure out what evil possessed EDG to be so keen on getting Lu Xian for Scout? Even for this reason, he did not hesitate to let Aguang take Rambo?

"I released Rambo, so they will definitely take Lucian in the mid lane," Bai Yueya communicated with the players, "I plan to let Jin Gong continue to play solo in this round. To target Rambo's weak point, Lin Ran, what do you think? Is there no problem with the line’s pressure resistance?”

Lin Ran held the ice water to cool down his hot palms slightly, and then immediately put it down - if the temperature of the palms was too low and frozen, the operation would be affected.

He nodded, his expression unchanged, "No problem, let the other side take it."

"YM's last ban spot in the first round was given to the prince!" Wawa raised his eyebrows and discovered the clue, "The two teams released all the Xialuo combination. It is impossible for EDG to let the red side YM get all these two heroes. They Gotta get one first!”

nofe is still considering whether to choose Xia or Luo.

"Meiko, can you use Feng Nu in your third hand?" He communicated with his assistant through a translator, "Feng Nu restrains Luo."

Luo's W [Grand Appearance] mechanism is to jump forward to the target location, and then knock away enemies within the range after a 0.35 second pause.

It's okay if the jump distance is short, but if the distance is a bit far, Feng Nu can completely charge up Q [Hurricane Roar] to interrupt Luo's W [Grand Appearance].

And after level 6, Feng Nu's R [Reviving Monsoon] can blow away all nearby enemies 725 yards away, which can theoretically counter Luo's ultimate move.

Although Luo, who has left Xia, is strong, he can only support the T1 goalkeeper. Feng Nu is undoubtedly the strongest support in the current version, and the lineup is versatile.

"No problem." Meiko was very confident.

"EDG got Xia in the first hand and gave Luo to YM!" Miller said loudly, "Let's see what hero YM will choose in the other hand?"

Bai Yueya asked Jin Gong to lock Luo first, and after pondering for two seconds, he asked Xiaotian to take down Pig Girl.

He took advantage of the situation and planned to get a lineup that would disgust EDG.

EDG decisively chose Feng Girl + Wine Barrel, while White Crescent Moon took out Verus for Jack at the end of the first round.

"YM's ability to start a team in the first three hands is a bit too strong," Miller analyzed. "Although Xia Xia, who was selected by EDG, is not afraid of strong attacks, can she really defend against all the sudden attack skills?"

"EDG has to use protective heroes in the end," Wawa also expressed his understanding, "or they can also use rush to open up the lineup, and both sides will attack the back row."

At the beginning of the second round of BP, White Crescent actually knew that EDG's last two choices were likely to be Rambo + Lucian. He also planned to let EDG get this lineup, and he also thought of a response strategy.

However, the remaining two ban positions cannot be wasted. He banned T1 mid laner Galio and another version of the strong top laner Big Bug, who were still likely to swing to the top lane.

EDG bans the equally powerful mages Syndra and Jin Gong in the early and mid-term.

"YM's fourth choice, I decided to buy the Tiger Balm Clockwork first!" Wawa frowned, feeling that something was not quite right, "I remember that Ran's Clockwork has a low winning rate, right?"

"The main reason is that I lost more games in my impression," Miller said while receiving Lin Ran's win rate data from the director, "Sure enough, a 77% win rate is considered to be the best among heroes that Ran has played for more than 10 games. The winning rate is very low.”

"Ran's ability to compete in the early stage is limited. Although he seems to be pushing the lane quickly, he basically cannot get the lane rights. Lane rights are very important for Ran, whether he is pushing the lane to roam, controlling the lane and calling the jungler to help, or To hit a single kill, he must have the help of line rights, but it is difficult for him to do so." Miller said clearly.

Soldier lines are very important in the professional arena.

Because professional players are not fools, and their diligent training allows them to not only memorize the strengths and weaknesses of their heroes, but also to figure out which opponents they are different from in training matches day after day.

Except for extreme figures like the top laner who is the best in the world on the Extreme Team, most professional players play the game with a steady attitude.

They know how to give in in the lane and stop fighting if they can't win. After all, if they are singled out and go back to review, they will inevitably be scolded by the coach. Some strict clubs will even deduct their wages.

Everyone's career is nothing more than realizing their dreams + making money. Who can't get along with money? You only have a few years of youth and busy life, so you can't just work for the club and be a philanthropist, right?

In this case, the only way to kill the opponent is to use the soldier line. The creeps are the only way for online heroes to obtain economy besides participating in killing, demolishing towers, and system payment of wages - except for players who have nothing to do to persecute junglers.

By controlling the troop line through various means, and luring or even forcing professional players to come out to replenish troops and pay for money, only then can there be opportunities for solo kills or jungle ganks.

The importance of the line of soldiers has given rise to the concept of line rights. It does not mean that you have line rights simply by pushing the line quickly, but the control and initiative of the line of soldiers. Clockwork is faster than the Enchantress, but she does not push the line at all. Dare to use skills in front of the enchantress to clear troops at will. The power of the lane is in the hands of the enchantress. If the enchantress wants to push the lane, she can push the lane. If she wants to control the lane, she can control the lane.

In games where the middle lane has no line rights, the jungler always has a hard time playing. It is very difficult to drive the rhythm of the whole game alone. In the mid-term, resources must be given to the mid laner to develop a big core. The whole process is to let the jungler eat grass and crowd it. Blood, no gaming experience.

If there are other teams with a brush mid laner system, it doesn’t matter if the mid laner takes a hero with no power such as Clockwork. After all, the team system is to allow these mid laners to stand up and dominate the battlefield in the later stage - a typical example is Gao Dewei, Lao Gandi in the early stage Most of the rhythm is led by Taobao Quan alone, allowing Gao Dewei to use the egg cap square to brush the jungle and brush the lane.

But this tactical system is not very effective for YM, because they started by relying on the linkage between the middle and jungle. Liberating the middle and then radiating and driving other teammates is YM's specialty.

If you choose a late-stage core, it will be difficult for Lin Ran to link up with Xiaotian. There is no doubt that this will put the early pressure on his teammates.

Last year, including the beginning of this summer season, Lin Ran chose many late-stage cores such as Vampires, Yellow Chickens, and Kassadin, allowing him to develop in the middle lane.

As a result, the team could easily fall into a disadvantage in the early stage. In the middle and late stages, the team could rely on front-on pick-up and rely on Lin Ran's personal strength to make a comeback.

When Lin Ran played such an outstanding performance, he would not say, "YM is all me in C" - even though some commentators blew him away in such a comeback game.

Because with heroes like Tsar, Vampire, and Kassadin, the early stage for teammates is like 4 vs. 5. The opponent's mid laner pushes the lane and roams wildly to support, while the own mid laner still relies on developing lanes to eat troops. This is sucking Teammate's blood.

In this way, teammates can drag the game into the mid-to-late stage without collapse, which is naturally a great achievement.

In the later stage of the team battle, the big core who has depleted the team's resources comes forward to carry the game. Can you call someone C? He is just doing his job. The difference is that other mid laners do things in the early stage, and Lin Ran himself brings the situation back in the later stage.

"EDG got Rambo + Lucian in the last two picks," Watana's shocked voice echoed in the venue, "Scout picked Lucian in the BO5 three, are you serious?"

The audience interacted with each other crazily in the live broadcast room.

[I vomited. Was Scout poisoned by Luxian poison? 】

【My Lucian (cry T﹏T) my Lucian (cry T﹏T)! 】

[How dare you take it? Lucian sent EDG back to his hometown on Lingshi Road in three games? 】

[If I get singled out again in this round, the program will be completely overpowered! 】

[It is now 7:15, believe in Dianbao, Guodian at 7 o'clock is invincible in the world! 】

"YM chose Qinggangying as their last choice. This round, they plan to let Jin Gong use the single belt system!"

White Crescent showed his fangs in the last move - the top laner Qinggangying.

The perfect choice against Rambo.

Whether it was laning in the early stage, cooperating with the jungle gank, or single-handedly leading the side in the mid-to-late stage, Qinggangying completely defeated Rambo.

The lineups of both sides are confirmed.

Blue square EDG: top laner Rambo, jungler Barrel, mid laner Lucian, bottom laner Lu Xia + Feng Nu.

Red square YM: top laner Qinggangying, fighting wild boar girl, mid laner Clockwork Demon Spirit, bottom lane Verus + Luo.

The audience cheered deafeningly. After winning two games in a row, YM fans holding black and red cheering sticks seemed to dominate the entire venue. Their momentum completely overwhelmed the countless starchy piglets.

Summoner's Rift appears on the big screen!

"Xiaotian, please help Jin Gong more in this game, so that Brother Xiba can enjoy an emperor-level service." Lin Ran bought the Duolan Ring and left the spring.

"No problem, I promise to complete the task!" Technician Xiaoyao looked at Rambo opposite and couldn't help but feel happy.

Marin, Smeb and other Rambo masters were all defeated by YM's frantic targeting tactics. The garlic bastard did not believe that Aguang, who had famously set fire to a mountain, could escape his sanctions.

There was no invasion at the first level of the junglers on both sides. Lin Ran, who started normally, took a step forward and took advantage of the cover of the troops reaching the middle to use Q [Command: Attack] to consume the junior.

But Lucian twisted his waist and easily avoided the puppet.

Lin Ran was not in a hurry. The chance of winning against Lucian in a Clockwork laning match was already very low. He didn't even think about fighting for the laning rights in the early stage, so he planned to develop quietly and develop a 3-piece set to take over the game.

The first-level Lucian was quite gentle in the line. Because the range was too short, the junior could only use Q [Transparent Holy Light] to try to consume Lin Ran, but was unsuccessful.

After eating the first minion in the second wave, the little boy will be promoted to level 2, and he can slide and ride in the face to deal damage.

Lin Ran also leveled up by eating the minions, and turned around to give a set of QW. Although he didn't hit Thunder, he didn't lose much health.

The third wave of troops arrived in the middle, and Lin Ran continued to huddle behind, planning to wait until the troops reached his tower before enjoying it.

Everything seemed calm and uneventful.

It's just an undercurrent.
