LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

This year's qualifying round started at the Wuhan Sports Center, 5 kilometers away from the Peninsula Hotel. Although there were no LPL teams, the Wuhan audience who had not had a game in the past month still packed the stadium to capacity.

The competition had nothing to do with YM, but Lin Ran could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the hotel had changed.

Previously, the big-breasted boys from the wild card competition came to Wuhan and stayed in a luxury hotel, chatting and laughing. As soon as the finals started, the atmosphere in the hotel corridor became solemn.

After traveling thousands of miles to China, no team simply wants to travel, especially the wild card teams. They are all champions of their respective divisions and can be considered big brothers in the league. Wouldn’t it be terrible if they couldn’t even make it to the playoffs? fell shame?

How can I sit by the grain pile and tell the story of S7 to my brothers when I get back?

The wild card brothers know that there is a hard power gap between themselves and the teams in the five major regions, but they do not have a clear concept of this gap.

Because the play-in competition is a new competition system established by Riot Games this year, there were not many opportunities for communication between the wild card competition area and the five major competition areas, and they were like closed worlds.

Although wild card teams have participated in the World Championship every year before, the sample size was too small to convince them.

Moreover, the shocking Russian wild card ANX in last year's World Championship single-handedly broke through the siege of G2 and CLG and reached the knockout round, which gave the wild card region great confidence.

Russian wild card ANX = quarterfinals, LPL second seed EDG = quarterfinals, Russian wild card = LPL second seed.

Look, the equations are laid out in one fell swoop, and they make sense.

The strength of a Russian wild card is similar to that of the No. 2 seed in the LPL region who won the S Championship. So it is natural for my Brazilian wild card to abuse the No. 3 seed in the North American region that has never won the S Championship, right?

But dreams are beautiful, but reality is extremely cruel.

The No. 3 seeds in their respective divisions, C9, FNC and SSG, were nothing short of bombs in the qualifying stage. They were like tigers descending from the mountain, destroying the newly built self-confidence in the wild card division.

Defeats came one after another, and the five major regions did not hold back at all and beat them to death one by one.

Heavy pressure is attached to the back of every wild card team. Their goal has changed from breaking through and entering the main stage to winning their first victory. They can accept a piece of meat from the five major regions as a trophy when they return home.

Training, training, endless training, the wild card competition team who wanted to fight for their lives successfully shared the pressure with other teams in the hotel.

On the evening of September 29, Lin Ran and his teammates went to have dinner downstairs as usual. A burly old Russian guy with a fierce appearance suddenly burst into tears, startling all the players present.

After Lin Ran learned about it, he realized that the Russian team had 0 wins and 3 losses and was at the bottom of the group to bid farewell to this world championship in advance.

As expected, by this time tomorrow, he would already be on the plane back to Moscow.

By all accounts, it had only been 10 days since he arrived in Wuhan. This rapid elimination was a wake-up call for everyone.

The overwhelming pressure makes many people mentally unbalanced.

Early the next morning, Lin Ran and Meiko, who were planning to have breakfast, unexpectedly met the Dragon Ball Team in the restaurant.

Lin Ran also looked at the time strangely.

This is not right. Most professional players tend to go to bed late and get up late. Lin Ran is a weirdo, but Meiko stayed up all night yesterday and planned to go back to catch up on her sleep after breakfast.

Except for seeing them coming to have breakfast on the second morning after the LCK team settled in Wuhan, Lin Ran saw no one at all in the other mornings.

What's going on today?

Lin Ran was confused and nodded hello to his dad Gloria, who raised his head to look at him.

He noticed that Grella's expression was a little sad, and there were rare dark circles under her eyes; the rat king Pray on the side looked even more worried, his frown was like a hill, and he no longer looked cheerful as before.

Everyone at the Longzhu table was very negative, and Lin Ran became even more curious.

What happened? Isn't it the fault of those idiots on IG?

Before he could figure it out, Longzhu's substitute top laner Rascal passed by with a tray slightly hunched over.

The 1.9-meter-tall Rat King was so tall that the chair couldn't hold him, and his elbows were forced to stick out of the table.

As Rascal passed by, his waist accidentally touched the Rat King's elbow. The porridge in the dinner plate spilled on him first, and then flowed along the team uniform into the Rat King's bowl.

Yi Linran saw that both of them were at fault in this matter, so just apologize to each other and that would be it.

But Pray, who was already depressed, found a punching bag.

"Axi..." The Rat King muttered in a cadence, as if he was singing rap, with a bit of Jin Gong's native tongue-splitting style. He spoke so fast that Lin Ran could only understand the first curse word.

But it doesn't matter, he has Meiko, a master of Korean language, by his side.

"What are they talking about?"

The gossipy Meiko has long been transformed into a black cat police chief - her ears stand up like antennas.

"The general meaning is...are you blind? Hurry up and serve me another bowl."

Lin Ran glanced at Meiko with disdain. He didn't expect that Meiko was also a master of abbreviations. It took the Rat King just half a minute to rap. How could it be just these two sentences?

But the meaning should be this. As the younger brother of the team, Rascal is far behind the Rat King in terms of achievements and age.

Rascal, who was deeply influenced by the Korean culture of respecting elders and younger children, couldn't care less about his clothes. He could only nod and bend back to scoop another bowl of porridge.

The Rat King took a sip and raised his voice again.

"Have you no brains? You don't even know that my brother needs to add sugar to his porridge? Don't you take my brother seriously?"

Lin Ran knew that heong was a unique elder-child culture in Korea, but he didn't expect that there would be such bullying.

Everyone in Longzhu on the side was used to it. They saw Rascal bowing respectfully and apologizing with porridge stains all over his body, and then went to add sugar to the porridge bowl.

"It's normal, the culture in their circle is like this," Meiko explained to Lin Ran in a low voice, "The Rat King is quite nice. Usually he and Grela Khan take good care of the newcomers. I guess they encountered something bad today. It’s over.”

Lin Ran nodded, and then realized something was wrong.

Are you a Dragon Ball team member? How do you know so much?

Meiko was right. After a while, the Rat King realized that his reaction was a bit too much, and he quickly went to Rascal to make peace.

Despite his amiable tone, Rascal didn't even dare to look at his senior, and the exchange between them felt awkward.

The little episode failed to make Lin Ran relax, but made him even more nervous.

As each training match ended, Lin Ran even felt that the oppressive and dull air was filled with the smell of rust, and the rich smell of blood filled the air, irritating his nasal cavity.

"Is your nose okay?" Guo Hao asked with concern, holding a pack of cotton balls in his hand.

Lin Ran came to his senses. He was bleeding from the nose. No wonder he smelled of blood.

He raised his neck and rested his head flat on the chair pillow. He took the cotton ball and cleaned his nose. After his nose was blocked, his voice became raspy. "It's nothing serious. I must have been a little angry in the past two days."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself," Guo Hao said duplicity, trying his best to comfort the players, "This is not the first time to play in the World Championship."

"I know, but the meaning of this year's World Championship is different. Not only to win the championship, but at least to enter the Bird's Nest." Lin Ran stopped the nosebleed, sat up straight and turned on customization to continue practicing with the broiler in the middle.

…

On the evening of September 30, Su Cheng, wearing a loose white sweatshirt and black trousers, walked out of Wuhan Tianhe International Airport with a silver suitcase and followed the crowd.

From a distance, she saw Guo Hao and two YM staff waiting by the roadside, and immediately walked forward quickly.

"Is everyone okay?" she asked with concern as she put the suitcase into the trunk.

"From the players to the coach, the strings are getting tighter and tighter," Guo Hao sighed. "I never thought that the pressure on them to play in the World Championships in the second year would be even greater than last year."

The YM manager now also has dark circles under his eyes and seems to be in a bad mental state. He looks like he was taken over by Kandi.

Su Cheng understood clearly. An hour later, she successfully arrived at the Peninsula Hotel and carried her suitcase straight to the YM training room on the 7th floor.

When she opened the door, she saw seven team members sitting on their chairs, facing the center of the room and staring at the curtain. No one noticed her.

The last game of the qualifying round is playing on the curtain, which will determine the last place to enter the main stage.

The e-sports team invested by Turkish football giant Fenerbahce faced Brazilian wild card ONE. The game has reached the final stage. Fenerbahce's Big Mouth and Feng Nu are about to bulldoze the opponent's base.

"HKA lost today?" Su Cheng asked.

"What a miserable loss. It's three to zero and I can't do it." Jack answered subconsciously, and then he heard something was wrong in the voice and turned his head.

"Orange..." Shiba Inu said. He remembered the military fist that the girl had hit him hard on when he left Shanghai. He immediately changed his words and put on a smile, "Sister Su, you are here."

Su Cheng greeted several team members and sat down next to Lin Ran, "I knew HKA was pretty good, but I didn't expect they only had this level."

In the six-day qualifying competition, traitors emerged from the five major competition areas.

HKA, the third seed in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan division.

The team coached by Tabe was unfortunately assigned to 1907 Fenerbahce, which is known as the strongest wild card in this qualifying round.

As soon as they met, HKA's underwear was pulled off by the Turks, and he was beaten so hard that his nose and face were bruised and swollen.

Everyone can see that the LMS division is in twilight. Apart from AHQ and Flash Wolves, they can't even find another team that can show off.

HKA finally ranked second in the qualifying group and faced FNC, the top player in another group, in the last BO5 heading into the main stage.

European high-school students never show mercy, and Caps, who has been known as a genius since his rookie season, led the team to a 3-0 sweep of HKA, making them engraved on the pillar of shame in history - the first team in the five major regions to fail to break through the qualifying rounds. Team.

YM watched the live broadcast today not to witness this history, but to see the draw situation after the qualifying rounds.

A glass basin containing 4 round black balls was once again placed on the scene. Snake, who transferred to this year, was the guest of honor at this lottery ceremony.

Wearing a black suit, he looks slimmer than before. Like Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, he has achieved very good weight loss results.

"The four teams FNC, C9, SSG and 1907 Fenerbahce that broke out from the qualifying rounds will be divided into the four main draw groups ABCD..."

Amid the applause of the audience, Zhizi took out the first black ball, which would determine the last member of YM's Group A.

The black ball opens, revealing light blue colored paper.

SSG!

Some audience members in the audience sighed with regret, and showed helplessness when they unfolded the colored paper.

Although they are only the third seed in the LCK, this is undoubtedly the strongest team in the playoffs.

The huge Samsung blue and white shield appeared on the big screen behind him, and with a loud noise, it suddenly pressed down and was embedded at the bottom of Group A!

In the Samsung lounge downstairs of YM, Guangwang clenched his fists suddenly, and his nails that had been trimmed to extremely short lengths were still piercing into his palms.

Coach Edgar pursed his lips, and all the three-star members next to him had focused eyes and high morale.

They must avenge last year's quarter-finals!

Four black balls were drawn, and the group stage situation of the S7 Global Finals was completely determined!

Group A: YM, TSM, GAM (No. 1 seed in Vietnam), SSG

Group B: LZ, IMT, RNG, FNC

Group C: G2, AHQ, WE, C9

Group D: FW, MSF, SKT, FB (1907 Fenerbahce)

"Everyone, let's start preparing," White Crescent clapped her hands, "Let's take one step at a time and set a small goal first."

"Earn 100 million?" Jack joked.

"The first place in the group stage will qualify," Bai Yueya ignored the Shiba Inu, "A year's hard work will only depend on the next month. I hope everyone can seize this opportunity."

"Now let me announce the roster for this World Championship..." Bai Yueya took out an A4 paper from his document bag.

Lin Weixiang, Liu Qingsong and the Prophet tightened their bodies. Among the five positions of YM, the bottom duo is the substitute. Judging from the training match participation, Jack is the appointed starting ADC. Unless he is allergic to seafood, otherwise There is no need to worry about the starting position at all.

There was no suspense about the three unsubstitute positions in the top and jungle. When it was the turn of the bottom lane duo, Bai Yueya paused for a moment before continuing.

"Jack in the bottom lane; assist Liu Qingsong, substitute Lin Weixiang, and emergency substitute prophet."

The prophet's body curled back, and his feet stepped on the cushion even tighter.

He participated in two training matches the day before yesterday, and Luo's performance was very poor. He seemed to be unable to practice this agile team-starting hero no matter what.

He has really worked hard, what about the so-called God rewards hard work?

Lin Weixiang stopped laughing when he learned that he had mixed up with the sixth person.

Although he was naive, he could still understand the mood of the prophet next to him. It was obviously inappropriate to laugh out loud at this time.

There was a brief, awkward silence in the training room.

Lin Ran turned around and started the qualifying match at the top of the canyon.

Su Cheng took out his notebook from his bag and went to have a meeting with Bai Yueya and Doom. Regarding the group stage opponents and the World Championship version, they discussed for a full hour before making the final plan.

Su Cheng's current task is very clear - to pull out the videos and data of the finals of Samsung, YM's biggest imaginary enemy in the group stage, and try to find valuable information.

However, it would take some time to download the video, so Su Cheng didn't bother Lin Ran, who was playing a hand speed game while queuing, and huddled in his chair to read the news on his phone.

Unexpectedly, this time I turned around, I found a big news.

After the S7 global finals spots were settled, Riot Games officially announced the top 20 players in the annual world championship.

Su Cheng glanced at the title - all five of YM's starting five were on the list except for the junior Crisp!

She glanced at Liu Qingsong, who had just secured his starting position and was seriously asking Xiangluoruan Assistant Di Shenbaolan for tips on how to save his life in team battles, and continued to scroll down, reading the list.

What is completely different from last year is that this time the four YM members rank extremely high on the list.

As usual, the goalkeeper position of the top 20 was assigned to the big brother by North American commentators. This is considered a routine program every year. After all, there are not many strong players in North America.

Next in reverse order are Flash Wolf auxiliary Snake, G2 shooter zevn, Samsung jungler Anzhang and Jin Gong.

No. 16 is the lowest ranking among YM players on the list. Jack is ranked 13th, with Uzi and Samsung top laner Cuvee slightly ahead of him.

Starting from the tenth-placed account, there are all players who are famous in global competitions.

Wolf ranked ninth, and the sixth, seventh and eighth places were taken by Dragon Ball. The performance of Xuan Ming and mid laner BDD this summer was undeniable.

The fifth place is Garlic Bastard. The official comment is very pertinent: As a rhythm jungler who stood out in last year's global finals, his condition this year is better than that of his competitor Peanut. Tian still relies on his keen sense of the situation to become a member of the team. rhythm engine.

Riot gave the fourth place position to Bang.

Due to the defeat in last year's global finals and this year's mid-season, Bang did not receive enough honors. He was not in the mood to meditate but still maintained high-intensity training, and his performance in this summer split was extremely impressive.

LCK English stream commentator Papa Smithy commented: Although his operation has declined slightly compared to last year, he is still one of the strongest ADC players in the world. Bang meets all our imaginations and requirements for ADC. He is the template for ADC.

There are still three people who have not appeared on this list. Su Cheng knows that the top 3 are most likely occupied by these three, but the ranking will change.

Although it had no direct relationship with her, Su Cheng was still very worried.

Her slender green fingers slowly swiped the phone screen and saw the third place.

LZ.Khan, a boy who looks quite happy, grins and gestures to the camera with a V sign. The first impression given to people is that he is a fool. I think the live broadcast will be very effective.

LCS official commentator Jatt gave his own comments, which were concise and clear: The undoubted number one top laner in the global finals, his Jayce and single-track ability are enough to make SKT fearful!

When Su Cheng saw Khan appearing in third place, her breathing stopped for a moment, her palms were sweaty and her fingers were trembling slightly.

The girl smiled self-deprecatingly. It was just a ranking list and would not determine any actual awards. Why were you as nervous as looking at the college entrance examination results?

Su Cheng calmed down, moved her fingers calmly, and saw the second place on the official list.

SKT.Faker

Two years ago, I thought Faker was the best professional League of Legends player on the planet, but now I have to add 'one'. Of course, this does not affect his terrifying strength - EU.LEC commentary Deficio

Su Cheng was satisfied, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground. She quickly flipped down the page and saw the number one on the list.

YM.Ran

The photo shows Lin Ran holding the mid-season championship trophy high. The young man's profile is particularly handsome under the spotlight, and his eyes seem to be filled with light, as if his dream is quietly blooming after his wish comes true.

Su Cheng looked at Lin Ran kissing the trophy on the phone screen, and gently touched the boy's eyes with her fingers. Her own eyes seemed to be filled with sporadic light.

She didn't know who captured the picture of Lin Ran holding a cup, so she could only silently type 666 and long press the picture to save it to her phone.

Below Lin Ran’s photo are comments from recommenders.

"If Faker represents the past, then Ran represents the present and the future. He added 'one' to Faker's title of 'the best professional player in the league';

No one knows where YM's mainstay is at its limit. Last year, his ingenious banner of command destroyed the SKT dynasty. This year, he doesn't seem to need "black technology". Judging from the mid-season, YM led by him is the favorite to win this year. I don't even want to use the euphemistic name of 'one'. ”——PapaSmithy

What a boobs, big brother.

Su Cheng murmured something in his heart, and raised his eyes to see that Lin Ran had lined up the remaining nine players. The screen stayed on the BP interface, but he was still holding in his hand the game information he had compiled during the past two days in Shanghai.

The video of Samsung's qualifying round had been downloaded. Su Cheng put away her other thoughts, put on her headphones and prepared to work hard.

…

"Hi brothers, I am your old friend Xiaobian." In a live broadcast room on the Dousha platform, a male voice skillfully greeted the audience who had just entered the live broadcast room.

The male voice ignored the hilarious barrage and continued, "Today our OB has a star..."

"The water cannon-wielding Koga Ninja is a member of the Pokémon family at the top of the canyon. It is said that all of them are YM players." Pizza, the anchor in charge of OB, said proudly when talking about this, "Now I am also the only one in the entire network. Is one of the YM members OB?"

【666, how to do it? 】

[Didn’t you say that YM people don’t add others as friends? Can this also be achieved by OB? 】

【Great pizza! 】

The barrage was overjoyed. Ever since Lin Ran explained the reason for the intensive commercial shooting live on the night of September 11, the entire YM team had disappeared without a trace.

If it weren't for the official Weibo posting pictures of players' training every day, fans would have thought that this group of people had completely disappeared.

Pizza snorted, "That's all the work of the Anchor Studio. There are many high-level fighters and anchors in it. As long as they are ranked in the Pokémon family, they will notify me, and then I will OB them."

"Xiao Pi is no exaggeration to say that the studio is full of capable people. Brothers, if you are interested, you can add WeChat in the upper left corner. If you are usually three or two rounds behind in the promotion competition, it will be okay. You can call for pizza on WeChat..."

A large number of oral broadcasts, the male voice is like a hypnotic devil whispering, very much like the video blogger JY back then.

"In this game, 'The Water Cannon-Knowing Koga Ninja' uses the mid laner Syndra. I checked his record, and all the mid-range units are in the middle. If nothing else, it should be Brother Ran. Everyone is really lucky in this game. .”

Pizza focused on Syndra, and while waiting for the handover of troops, he continued, "Now Brother Ran's super account has 43 wins and 15 losses, a winning rate of 74%, and the rank has reached the strongest king 550 points, which is considered S7 The group with the highest scores among the contestants.”

Due to the delay in the OB view of the informal game, Lin Ran had already completed a solo kill at this time.

Now he is not sure whether he has a hot hand or is too weak on the opponent. Even the mid laners at the top of the canyon cannot withstand the pressure he puts on the line. Unless they use Grasshopper Galio, it will be difficult for them to survive in his hands. Level 6.

After half a month of training day and night, coupled with constant internal and external pressure, Lin Ran was feeling sulky and had nowhere to vent. He had never been so eager for an official match.

He went back to the city and bought the killing ring, and continued to suppress him like crazy online. He moved so arrogantly that he just had two big moles with the word "begging to be caught" written on his cheeks.

This kind of extreme suppression is a pure characteristic of the national server. The unique skill brother Zerath on the opposite side is now suppressed by him and can't breathe.

However, Xerath is also smart. If he can't defeat him, he will just settle down. After he was killed last time, he bought a murder ring. He plans to upgrade to level 6 and use long-distance ultimate skills to fire cannons to increase the number of rings.

Xerath, a hero, has one of the longest ranges in the entire league. If Lin Ran stays in the lane all the time, it will just make the opponent waste mana and miss a little bit of CS.

This was obviously not very profitable, so Lin Ran quickly changed his mind and controlled Syndra to roam around, using W [Driving Psychic Power] to catch wild monsters to disgust the opponent's jungle.

In 10 minutes, the opponent's 0/4/0 level 5 blind monk's psychological defense was completely defeated, and he decisively quit the game and became autistic. There was no need to continue fighting in this disadvantageous situation of 4 on 5. Lin Ran responded to the opponent's attack. The idea is to push with teammates to demolish the base.

A dull +36 points. As the base crystal shattered on the ground, the game sound in the headphones completely disappeared, and the previously blocked external sounds came faintly.

The crackling sound of the keyboard and the clicking sound of the mouse flooded into Lin Ran's ears along with Jin Gong's uncontrollable Xiba sounds.

He didn't know if the recent emotional outburst of the Russian brother and the Rat King had also affected him. Lin Ran felt a sense of irritability inexplicably in his heart, and the evil fire kept rolling in his heart.

This is a rare thing in his career, but Lin Ran also knows that he is not a saint, and he cannot be in a state of calm as calm as water all the time.

He tried hard to suppress this emotion and did not want to affect his teammates, so he simply quit the game client and planned to watch the video and go to bed early.

Lin Ran's shoulder was suddenly pinched twice, and Lin Ran turned his head and looked over.

"Come out and talk?" Su Cheng asked, looking at the lingering depression on her boyfriend's brow.

The two left the closed training room and went straight to the end of the corridor.

"I heard from Guo Hao that you feel a lot of pressure recently?" Su Cheng opened the window a crack, and the warm evening breeze of early autumn in Wuhan blew onto her and Lin Ran's faces.

"It's indeed a lot of pressure," Lin Ran admitted frankly, "Maybe I thought too much..."

"You really think too much," Su Cheng looked directly into her boyfriend's eyes and found that Lin Ran's eyes that were filled with light when he held the mid-season trophy were now dim, "Since you went to Beijing in the Summer Finals, no matter what Whether you are in an interview or meeting, you always say 'see you in the Bird's Nest'."

"It's a good thing to set a goal, but it won't work this way," Su Cheng said seriously. "Your goal is too long-term. The semifinals are at the end of October. Are you going to run for another month with the goal of entering the Bird's Nest?"

She pointed out her area of ​​study that she was good at, "Do you remember when the teacher asked us to memorize composition materials in high school Chinese class?"

"A versatile material like Sima Qian? The swansong of a historian, the rhymeless dissatisfaction?" Lin Ran was awakened to long-lost memories, and the chapter was about to begin.

He, a person with difficulty in writing, could only rely on these materials to survive under the nightmare composition topics in Jiangsu.

"That's it, but what I'm talking about is not him," Su Cheng continued, "but a marathon runner named Yamada Motoichi. He was originally unknown and won the Tokyo International Marathon Invitational in 1984. champion."

Lin Ran tried his best to recall in his mind, "The one who divided the marathon into segments?"

"My memory is good," Su Cheng patted Lin Ran's forearm and praised, "He divided a marathon into countless short segments, and the end of each segment is a small goal."

Lin Ran couldn't help but think of Chairman Wanda's idea of ​​earning a small goal first.

"He can see the end point and hope in every section, and naturally he has the ambition and motivation. Running like this is much easier than just trying to finish more than 40 kilometers."

Su Cheng spoke for a long time in one breath, "Marathon and e-sports are very different, but I think this principle is universal. You break down the big goals of entering the Bird's Nest one by one. For example, being the first to qualify in the group stage Small goals, entering the semi-finals is the second small goal, entering the finals is the third small goal..."

Lin Ran pondered for two seconds and tried hard to clear his mind. His mind was filled with thoughts of several broken down small goals. He really felt his back suddenly loosen up. "So for me now...reaching the semi-finals is considered a success?"

"..." Su Cheng didn't say anything. She took out a box of cooling oil from her pocket and stuffed it into Lin Ran's palm, "After taking a shower tonight, apply the cooling oil to your temples and have a good sleep. If you still feel stressed tomorrow morning , go find a psychological counselor, I am not a professional."

"Just think about it..." Lin Ran stuffed the cooling oil into his pocket, took two deep breaths and laughed, "Wake up and eat hot dry noodles tomorrow morning?"

"彳亍," Su Cheng nodded in agreement, holding Lin Ran's arm and shaking it with a cheerful tone, "I checked a few hot-dry noodle shops before, but I don't know if they are good or not. Some people say that hot-dry noodles are just like Tianjin. Pancakes and fruits are the same, and everyone likes them in their own eyes."

…

On October 5, it started to rain lightly in Wuhan from early morning, and the fresh air was filled with a bit of sadness, as if it was seeing someone off.

The eight teams that had previously failed to make it into the group stage have already left Wuhan. If they encounter a wealthy boss, they will extend their stay at the hotel for two or three days and let them visit Wuhan's attractions.

However, most of the teams took a flight back to China the day after they were eliminated. This short-lived trip to the global finals is likely to be the only opportunity in their careers.

But this did not ruin Lin Ran's good mood.

Two days ago, he went to chat with a psychological counselor for an entire afternoon. He relieved himself of the pressure and moved forward lightly. His psychological pressure was immediately relieved.

Sure enough, there are specialties in the art industry, and the emotional communication ability of professionals is much better than Su Cheng.

Lin Ran got up early and played two qualifying matches full of energy, pushing his score to 800 points. It was already noon when the warm-up was completed.

In order to maintain their reflexes, the team members did not have a serious lunch. They just ate some biscuits to fill their stomachs and set off for the Wuhan Sports Center 5 kilometers away.

Putting on makeup, explaining tactics, filming pre-game interviews...

Everything is in order. Except for Brainless, Unhappy and Prophet, the rest of the seven YM people are participating in the World Championship for the second time. This is not the Hailan House where you will find new discoveries every time you visit, so everyone is calm.

After receiving the waiting instructions from the staff, Lin Ran and his team members calmly left the lounge.

Today is the opening day of the global finals. 16 participating teams gathered together and the backstage was packed with water.

The familiar contestants said hello to each other and joked, until the host Ren Dong came onto the stage.

"Good afternoon to all Summoners present and in front of the screen!" he said angrily, "After the fierce fighting in the qualifying rounds, starting today, the group stage of the Global Finals will officially begin!"

The Wuhan Sports Center was overcrowded, and everyone waved the cheering sticks distributed and made noise. The eager cheers of the audience reached the ears of the players from the 16 teams through the curtain wall!

"Let's invite the team to appear!"

"First of all, welcome the 2016 Global Finals Champions Team YM to return the Summoner's Trophy!"

Ren Dong's loud voice came, and two tall players, Lin Ran and Jin Gong, lifted the heavy Summoner's Trophy and led other teammates through the passage to the stage!

What greeted them in front was deafening applause and cheers!

Their journey to the World Championship begins now!
