LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

Xiaotian, who had been excited all night because he had drawn a good lottery, rarely got up early, so he ran to the balcony in his pajamas to look at the scenery.

Harem Lake looks elegant and refined against the backdrop of green vegetation. The Yangtze River on the other side is no longer as violent as it is during the summer flood season. It wraps up several giant ships on the riverside quietly and gently, and the water droplets make a splash when they touch the hull. The sound was instantly crushed to pieces.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning was not diluted by the thin clouds. It shined straight on the river, creating a golden wave. A few gray magpies were hiding in the trees and quietly looking at the riverside, their cute long tails drooping. Behind the buttocks, the black and white gradient tail feathers from thick to light are particularly soft and gorgeous in the morning light.

"The needle won't poke me. If I live by the river, the needle won't poke me..." Garlic Bastard excitedly picked up his cellphone to record the video, and from time to time he would let out a goose-goose-goose-goose-goosey devilish laugh.

Lin Ran walked out of the bathroom wearing a pure white T-shirt with a white towel wrapped around his neck. He wiped the water droplets off his cheeks and applied skin care products on them.

"Do you need it?" Lin Ran glanced at Xiaoyao and shook the lotion in his hand.

"No, no, no..." The Garlic Bastard habitually shook his head and refused. Except for putting on makeup before the game, he couldn't put anything on his face at other times.

Now Lin Ran has torn the wound and tied it crookedly. Zhongfu and the two are now little experts in skin care. He feels that he needs to hug the Shiba Inu, the neck collector Jin Gong, the severe two-dimensional prophet and the God of War in the early morning without a brain. Thighs, we must not let them be corrupted by this trend.

"What about the wrist guards? Do you want to wear them?" Lin Ran took out two pairs of pure black wrist guards from the small pocket at the front of his backpack.

He wore a pair at the World Championships last year, and this year Su Cheng bought him another pair and stuffed them in his bag. Lin Ran originally thought it was a waste, but the girl kept insisting that "in pairs" would bring good luck, so he insisted on giving it to him. Wristbands added to cart.

Xiaoyao moved her slender wrists, shook her head and refused, "My hands don't hurt now, and wearing this thing still hinders my operation."

"It will be too late when you feel pain." Lin Ran retorted, but he didn't say anything more, put on the wristband and went out to have breakfast with Xiaoyao.

While waiting for the elevator, Lin Ran looked at the major e-sports forums.

The audience is very lonely during the offseason, and the management team of the e-sports forum has also opened the door to let everyone post about their experience. The most numerous of them are rating posts.

Lin Ran saw his photo in a post that said [I will send the contestants your ratings, the full score is 10 points].

As he expected, his evaluation in the forum was extremely high, with perfect scores, his first S-League title and fmvp results, which were enough to stay ahead in the LPL.

Lin Ran read dozens of comments and felt that the reputation of his career was ridiculously good. This was an exception in the very hostile Internet forum.

He won't go on strike with a negative attitude, and he won't bring his girlfriend to the base to affect training... Oh, his girlfriend is a team analyst, so that's fine.

And Lin Ran's character wouldn't do such things as connoting his teammates, so he was able to retire with glory just by winning the World Championship. In the end, he was able to talk to new viewers about those years when he started a live broadcast. The story of the first FMVP championship.

However, Lin Ran is more concerned about netizens' opinions on yesterday's group stage draw.

After flipping through two pages of posts, Lin Ran had an idea.

Most viewers believe that YM will easily enter the knockout round as the group leader, and many optimistic families believe that YM will win and qualify.

WE are currently also in a non-Korean group, and the situation of qualifying without the lck team is also very good.

What netizens are most worried about is RNG. Needless to say, Longzhu is strong. It can defeat SKT in the lck finals. Its strength is definitely the top level in the world. The audience does not think that RNG can take advantage of Longzhu.

Since there are LCK and North American teams in the RNG group, according to the avoidance principle of the same group, the last position in the RNG group will only be filled by Europe, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan or the wild card division.

What is worth worrying about is that FNC, the third seed in Europe, will be drawn, and then RNG's group will become a veritable death group.

The elevator reaches the restaurant floor. There are not many people here. Riot China has booked the entire fifth floor of the hotel since yesterday. Naturally, there are not many customers at this time.

The three South Korean teams also arrived in Wuhan last night. As soon as Lin Ran and Xiao Xi sat down, SKT’s real and fake Li Ge—wolf Li Zaiwan and faker Li Sang Hyuk also walked in.

The restaurant was empty enough that the four of them subconsciously ignored the waiters around them and locked their eyes on their opponents.

At this moment when the thunder from the sky touched the fire from the earth, the eyes of the four of them were filled with burning unyielding fighting spirit, which seemed to never go out - of course this was Lin Ran's imagination, he was actually using all his strength to stare, Put on an expression of bitterness and hatred.

The moment their eyes met, Lin Ran knew that his side had lost.

Because he doesn't wear glasses.

The Garlic Bastard and him only have 6 eyes together, how can they compete with SKT's real and fake Brother Li's 8 eyes?

He looked up and down at SKT's midfielder, and found that he was no match for his weight. Wolf was worthy of being the only Li brother in SKT, and he seemed to be a very stable man.

After an electric exchange of glances, the four of them nodded to each other. After Shuangli chose breakfast, he sat down at the table next to Lin Ran and Xiaotian, holding a plate in his hands.

None of the four of them understood the language of the other country—except for swear words like axiba and ***.

The two parties could only communicate briefly in English. Lin Ran initially thought that he had followed his girlfriend to get up early and study for the TOEFL for half a year, and it finally came in handy.

But he soon realized that he was overthinking it.

Lee Sang Hyuk and Lee Jae Wan only have the education level of high school graduates. Even if they are natives of Britain and the United States, they can't understand much.

At this moment, Lin Ran wished that Meiko, a member of the training team, could accompany him as a translator. He was a model of studiousness and self-motivation. He was actively learning Korean while in the LPL. Unlike King Ning, who usually only wanted to buy AJs but didn't even speak Korean. He learned that during the game, he had to bother Broiler to act as a communication bridge between him and the top laner.

As he thought about it, he lowered his head in shame. He and Han Yuan had been together day and night for two years, and he couldn't speak a word of Korean except for swearing.

Is this true?

Lin Ran feels that Jin Gong must take full responsibility for this matter. When the World Championship is over, he will use this matter to blackmail the Xiba people for two meals of Haidilao.

Li Zaiwan saw Lin Ran lower his head. He, who was usually very average, thought it was the domineering aura of himself and Li Sang Hyuk that had intimidated the opponent. He grinned and laughed, which made his eyes disappear.

Now Lin Ran felt that his team was tied with SKT's midfielder, and now everyone had 6 eyes versus 6 eyes.

Wolf took out a small round plastic box about the size of a palm from his fat trouser pocket, which also contained ten square pickled radish cubes.

This time when he came to China to compete, he, like other LCK players, prepared a lot of kimchi and ramen to prevent him from adapting to the local eating habits.

"Do you want to eat?" He was kind-hearted and wanted to comfort Lin Ran with kimchi.

Lin Ran glanced at the small plastic box. Every time Xiba came back from visiting relatives in South Korea, he and his teammates could get special items [Kimchi made by Grandma Jin Gong].

To be fair and objective, kimchi is quite suitable for Lin Ran's taste. It can be regarded as a strange flower emerging from the barren dietary soil of South Korea.

Food is a bit like "he's arsenic, I'm honey", just like Lin Ran doesn't like bean juice, sweet tofu curd, salty rice dumplings... and Pepsi-Cola, there are always people who like it and are even obsessed with it.

He didn't refuse Wolf's kindness and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of radish kimchi from the plastic box.

"This pickle is this year's Summoner's Trophy," Lin Ran said without giving up, "I'll take it away now."

Wolf is not a father-in-law, and he can understand simple English. As soon as Lin Ran said this sentence, his expression immediately calmed down. Now he and Li Sang Hyuk have eight eyes again.

Lin Ran ignored it and stuffed the kimchi into his mouth. His teeth collided with the crisp radish, making a pleasant squeaking sound. He took another mouthful of hot white porridge, wrapped in the cold kimchi and went into his stomach.

…

"Holy shit, aren't they too cruel?" Mala Xiangguo tapped the keyboard hard, his tone impatient.

The head-to-head ratio in the upper right corner of the computer screen is 7:22, the game time has only lasted 23 minutes, and the ratio of the number of towers pushed is 2:6.

Based on the sensitivity of professional players, Mala Xiangguo estimates that the economic gap between the two parties is a full 10,000 yuan.

It was a completely one-sided ravage. As the dragon howled, Fire Fox clapped his hands and said, "Just retreat, there is no need to fight."

"What else are we fighting for?" The grumpy Mala Xiangguo alt+F4 exited the game and threw off the headphones, and was about to start spraying. "I can't win except for the bottom lane. Once I lose the lane rights, the opponent keeps entering my jungle area!"

In this game, RNG was on the red side. The biggest impact caused by losing the line right in the middle and top was that Spicy Xiang Guo was unable to brush the Sharp Beak Bird and Stone Beetle in the upper half of its team.

These two groups of wild monsters are the key to his hunger strike jungle, and the jungle experience catch-up mechanism will help him successfully catch up with the level.

However, in this game, he ate two groups of stone beetles of his own. The rest of the time, he could only go to the opposite half of the area to exchange resources for wild monsters.

Uzi and Xiao Ming do have the initiative in the bottom lane and can help him fight for Stone Beetles and Sharpbills, but that's about it.

The loss of mid and top line rights led to the fall of the jungle. The Rift Herald was taken away by the opponent and used to advance the first blood tower on the top lane. Then the top laner on the opposite side, wearing black-rimmed glasses and looking grim, controlled Gnar to ride on their faces. .

The power of beast form vn is so terrifying that RNG simply cannot bear the top laner Gnar, who is two levels ahead of the game.

"IG wasn't that strong originally, was it?" Uzi was puzzled. He watched Firefox record the results of the training match on the whiteboard.

2 wins and 4 losses, this is the result of their training matches with IG in the past three days.

Last night, after the broiler draw, RNG played three training games with IG. It was normal to have 2 wins and 1 loss, but IG suddenly broke out and beat them 3:0.

Everyone in RNG was puzzled. They had never played against IG before. Everyone acknowledged the opponent's strength. However, at RNG's level, they won more and lost less, and the winning rate was basically around 70%.

But today's IG is a bit too strong, or RNG's talent is a bit exaggerated - 6 training games can already explain a lot of problems. If RNG goes to play BO5 with IG in today's state, it will be swept.

If it weren't for the fact that RNG and the others didn't believe in metaphysics, they would have thought that the factory director who failed to enter S7 returned to his hometown in Wuhan and secretly learned Maoshan Taoism from Zhuzai.

Firefox also knew that as the group stage was approaching and unsatisfactory training results would have a negative impact on the players' self-confidence, he tried to soften his tone.

"There is no need for you to doubt yourself and the team. The IG we are currently facing is definitely two levels better than the summer split. YM's training record against IG in the past two days is only 55."

As soon as he heard 55, Uzi's head immediately rose.

YM, the undoubted strong enemy in their minds, had a poor record against IG, which cheered up several RNG players a lot.

YM can't get any benefits, so isn't it normal for them to lose?

"The main reason is that IG's current play style is too unrestrained. What they play doesn't even look like a training match, it's just a pure ranked style," Firefox explained to them, appeasing the emotions of all the players, "especially the two players in the jungle. , in the summer training matches, their style could be combined with stability, but now the two of them are operational monsters."

"Everyone should remember that in this IG, there is no performance pressure on them now. They can play freely and show off how they can operate. This group of people can play how they want!"

Firefox came to RNG for a year, and he felt that the psychological problems of this group of players were really big, and sometimes he had to step in to solve them.

He uploaded the training match video to the big screen through a projection device, and everyone in RNG quickly watched the key team battles in today's three training matches.

"Isn't there anyone behind them?" Malaxiang Guo couldn't help but stood up, his fingers habitually poking at the curtain, "How dare Prince Ning and TheShy come down and fight the five of us like this? "

In the video just played, RNG seized the opportunity to rush Baron Nash. The plan was successful at first, but IG didn't react until Baron had 2800 drops of blood left.

But the five RNG players hesitated when faced with the prince and Danar who suddenly jumped into the dragon pit. Spicy Xiangguo still remembered that he shouted to retreat in the team's voice at that time.

Since RNG wanted to steal the baron quickly, it didn't have time to arrange too many eye positions. There was only one false eye above the dragon pit, and there was no way to obtain more vision information.

And Mala Xiangguo looked at IG Ueno who suddenly jumped down, and did not dare to lead anyone to eat this big dragon without obtaining the location information of other IG members.

He is a reckless man, but at least he still has some brains. In the eyes of Mala Xiangguo, the fact that IG Ueno dared to jump down from the dragon pit so decisively proves that there must be support from other teammates behind him.

Otherwise, why would you fight 2 against 5?

And IG Ueno Danar and the prince are a perfect match in Dragon Pit - even if there is no wall, Jarvan IV can artificially create a wall for Gnar's ultimate move to stun.

When all five members of RNG were out of shape by Baron Nash, RNG finally chose to retreat. As a result, IG Ueno chased and beat them all the way and was finally forced to sell Xiaohu.

Now from a God's perspective, where are the teammates behind IG Ueno? The Sapphire Blue closest to King Ning and TheShy is still 3,000 yards away, and it is impossible to pose a threat to RNG!

IG is just two people chasing five people, and it makes no sense at all!

"How can you play games?" Mala Xiangguo's face turned blue and white, and his face looked ugly.

Looking at the video, his decision-making at that time was absolutely stupid. At that time, five people directly killed the two reckless men in IG's Ueno and jungle without any problem.

"Did you see it?" Firefox pressed the pause button, "No one at IG can control them now. They are just returning to their true nature. You can fight them however you want."

Although Hanyi is still the nominal coach of IG, everyone who came to the training camp knows that IG will definitely not renew his contract next season.

Hanyi's last event before the contract period is the Nest (National E-Sports Competition) two and a half months later. It seems to have a bluffing reputation, but in the field of League of Legends, this is a small event with little gold content. The LPL team will be left alone. It is common for teams to go through training in the past.

In other words, Hanyi's coaching career at IG is essentially over. Under this situation, Hanyi himself no longer severely scolds and restrains the players - it is not a bad thing to be a good person and leave a good impression on the players before leaving. , he is now only responsible for the BP of training matches and negotiation and communication with the coaches of the friendly teams. He does not care about the playing style in the game at all.

The IG players also went their own way and liberated themselves from the shackles. Although Hanyi in the team could not completely suppress the violent and reckless nature of this group of people, it could at least have some effect.

Hanyi's defeat, coupled with the fact that there is no performance pressure in training games now, IG's hanging people are like Xiao Li in Naruto who has taken off his load, playing fiercely like a monster.

If Xihuang hadn't held back, this group of people could even defeat RNG.

Everyone in YM in the training room next door was also very distressed. After two days, the score in their training match with IG was 3:3.

As Firefox says, 50-50.

After the review, Lin Ran and others also realized that there was a problem with IG's current play style.

Facing the current King Ning and Broiler of TheShy, if they play according to the normal rhythm of the game, it will be all over.

This group of people typically shines brightly if they are given a little sunshine, and they can flood if they relax a little bit. If they are a little timid in laning and team battles, IG will dare to ride on their face and output.

They don't care how many people there are, as long as the opponent dares to run for safety, IG will dare to chase.

The more timid the opponent is, the more excited they are, and all kinds of extreme operations are at their fingertips; the more capable IG is, and the more they dare to play less and more, the more afraid the opponent will be, and then the less they dare to take over the team.

This creates a vicious cycle.

Moreover, IG's reckless methods have little training effect at all - because no one will play like this in the game.

The top jungler of the Hunger Strike style, Mala Xiangguo, is also very reckless. He wants to be more fierce than King Ning on the field, but there is still a gap compared to the training game version of King Ning - when no one can restrain Ning, this People's style of play no longer follows basic logic.

If there is no training effect, what will be the help if you continue to practice?

"How about... giving IG to teams in other divisions?" White Crescent proposed a bold idea.

"What do you mean?" Silly Lin Weixiang did not respond.

"Let IG torture the opponents and beat them into unconsciousness. Isn't this the end of the matter?" Bai Yueya explained.

There was an awkward silence in the YM training room.

Seeing their unkind expressions, Bai Yueya thought the team members didn't agree. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Ran sigh heavily, "Isn't your move too insidious?"

"This can't even be described as insidious," Xiaotian, who had just been confused by IG's recklessness, stretched out his hand to smooth the bangs in front of his forehead, "You are called vicious."

That night, after Guo Hao discussed with the management of the other three teams, WE Xiaoshou immediately decided to cancel the training match with IG. They asked Meiko, who can speak Korean in the sparring group, to find the Dragon Ball team of the LCK.

Mei said that he wanted to give the IG team to them as free sparring partners to develop the friendship between LPL and LCK.

Kim Jing-soo, the current coach of Longzhu, is a man who looks even stronger than Lee Jae-wan. Faced with the inexplicable overtures from the LPL, although he was suspicious, he still nodded and agreed to the team playing a few training games with IG - after all, the World Championship The training matches during this period are already tense, so it is a good thing to have a team with a high level of ability to take the initiative to schedule an appointment.

After learning that the conspiracy had succeeded, Bai Yueya had to put his hands on his hips and look up to the sky and scream. At this moment, he felt that he was possessed by Sima Yi and was simply a ghost!

IG had a one-night training match with Longzhu that day, and Lin Ran didn't know the result yet.

Riot Games also made a big move that night. They released the S7 Global Finals theme song and MV.

The MV was released at 8 o'clock in the evening. In just a few moments, it topped the list of hot searches on Weibo with the help of Tencent's Soft Girl Coin. With the early exposure, the popularity of the MV was enough to keep the popularity of the MV high with the help of players in the following hours. .

Lin Ran, who was still practicing with Zhuo Ding and doinb at the time, heard from the staff on the sidelines that Riot had done a great job this time.

This piqued his curiosity, and during a video call between Lin Ran and his girlfriend before going to bed, the two enjoyed the annual performance of music company Riot Games together.

The MV continues the animation style of Riot Games, taking Ashe, Blind Sin and Galen as the starting point, and combining the background stories of the three heroes to tell the story of the countless setbacks and hardships the three encountered. The story of falling down and getting up again, and finally growing into a strong man in his own right.

According to the subtitle of the MV, the values ​​​​that Riot wants to convey are quite clear: there is no end to the perfection of skills, and the names of those who work hard will be engraved in history.

Compared with the story in the MV, this year's theme song is particularly brilliant - Legends Never Die.

The legend never dies.

The theme song music starts from a low point, which perfectly complements the low tone of the female singer at the beginning. It feels like a wedge in the novel is inserted forcefully; the background music gradually climbs from low to high, and finally the female singer uses high notes to complete the early stage. The brewing atmosphere completely exploded.

"It's really good." Lin Ran looped the single twice and turned off the music software as he still wasn't satisfied.

"The legend will never die..." On the other end of the tablet network connection, Su Cheng was lying on the soft bed in the bedroom, with his two little feet dangling in the air. "Who do you think the fist is hinting at?"

Riot Games originally invited bands such as Dream Dragon and Linkin Park to produce theme songs. Most of them were based on passion and had no special connotations.

But this year Lin Ran noticed that Riot Games was ranked first in both the composition and arrangement columns.

This is obviously something Riot wants to express.

The legend never goes out, who is the legend?

Lin Ran's first reaction was faker. Lee Sang Hyuk, who is entering the fifth year of his career, holds two Summoner's Trophies and a Mid-Season Championship. He is worthy of the title of legend no matter how you look at it.

Last year, Lee Sang Hyuk lost the world championship. Does the theme song imply that Faker's competitive heart will not be extinguished even if he hits rock bottom, and the immortal legend vows revenge?

Lin Ran expressed his thoughts, but Su Cheng had his own understanding.

"Why can't it be you?" Her clear voice reminded Lin Ran of radish pickles, "Are your grades not worthy of a legend?"

"Don't curse me, Su Cheng," Lin Ran was horrified, "I don't want to fall to the bottom and taste the taste of frustration."

"Oh, it can also be Uzi. He has already been runner-up twice. I think he wants to win a championship before retiring." Su Cheng started a group with another person. "I think he has a good chance this year. It is rare for his fists to be in the world." The game version has increased the weight of the bottom lane."

"But this is his chance this year," Su Cheng shook his head, "There are not many tactical systems that his style can tolerate, and the limitations are too great. If he cannot win the championship based on his personal strength alone, Uzi will still have to eat his teammates. "

"..." Lin Ran didn't dare to answer, so he changed the topic, "Have you booked your flight tickets?"

"Everything is done." Su Cheng jumped up from the bed and took the mobile camera of his tablet to show Lin Ran his leave application form. "The hospital leader saw the official seal of the club and was very happy to approve the leave. He gave him two weeks' leave." Maximum time limit for vacation.”

Lin Ran is not surprised. Fudan's school spirit advocates "freedom and uselessness", and Shanghai is also open and tolerant towards e-sports. The upper leadership attaches great importance to this League of Legends World Championship and wants to take this opportunity to build Shanghai into a cultural and entertainment city. , close to embrace youth.

Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for the hospital leaders to give Su Cheng, a member of the favorite YM team, a leave of absence.

"Then I'll wait for you in Wuhan." Lin Ran smiled and waved goodbye to his girlfriend.

Time flies in a closed training environment. On September 23, the finals officially started, kicking off the five-week global finals!
