LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

Shanghai Oriental Sports Center.

At the moment when SKT's base shattered, white mist sprayed out from right in front of the stage, and the spotlights on the ceiling emitted colorful and brilliant light, reflecting on the white mist with a somewhat dreamlike color.

It was as dreamy and confusing as SKT who played a good game for 37 minutes and died suddenly in the last minute.

"YM3: swept SKT 0 and entered the final stage of the League of Legends Global Finals for two consecutive years!"

The 18,000 spectators in the stands waved flags and shouted, venting all the remaining passion in their hearts. The torrent of sound swept through the stadium, as if they were bidding a grand farewell to this venue!

Next stop, they will go to the National Stadium!

The wide screen behind the YM player seats also displayed the Chinese character "Victory". The five players took off their headphones and hugged each other!

Lin Ran let out a sigh of relief. His small goal before the start of the World Championship was finally achieved, and his excited mood was filled with a bit of relief.

"Well done!" Liu Qingsong pulled Lin Ran's team uniform, his face flushed with excitement.

When Jack saw his assistant praising the mid laner, he immediately felt dissatisfied. "Isn't it me who made the final contribution? I flashed my ultimate move and sent Faker back to his hometown in Seoul!"

"Go away," Xiaoyao said without mercy, his words piercing the heart like a sharp sword, "Faker has been suppressed. If you can still use your flash ultimate move, retire quickly and go to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to play 98K."

The person involved, Lee Sang Hyuk, still had no eyesight and was slumped in a chair like his teammates.

"It's a pity..." Wawa's tone didn't sound regretful at all, and his joy overflowed through his words, "SKT's journey to this year's World Championship has come to an end. They have to wave goodbye to this stage and the S7 season."

The on-site commentator was still chattering about something, which was mixed with the noisy voices of the audience. Without the obstruction of sound-isolating headphones, it easily occupied Lee Sang Hyuk's ears.

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. I just think they are noisy.

He has not read Lu Xun's articles, but Korean culture is profound and profound, so that's what he means.

Faker's eyes were slightly red, but he didn't let tears come out in the end.

He saw the YM players striding toward him in a row, struggled to get up, and put on his team uniform jacket.

He felt a little chilly for no reason, and even after shivering, he didn't feel any signs of improvement.

Bang glanced at the data panel before getting up. The Rolex on his wrist shone brightly in the spotlight.

His own damage is 4396 higher than that of Verus, and his economy is also 2800 higher than that of Verus...

The most important thing is that he is 55 CS ahead of Jack!

My mood finally improved a lot when I saw the last hit data bang. As we all know, the most important thing to judge whether an Edici is strong or not is the last hit.

He stood up and looked at Jack, who was shaking hands, with a look of disdain on his face.

Shiba Inu was a little confused, how could this person be so proud even after losing?

Lin Ran shook hands with each other in turn, and Li Zaiwan's face turned frighteningly pale.

"Are you okay?" he asked concernedly in English.

Wolf closed his lips tightly, waved his hands and shook his head. Lin Ran didn't take this matter to heart, and went to find Li Sang Hyuk after passing by Bang.

Under the camera, the two top mid laners hugged each other politely and did not talk much.

Lin Ran didn't take the initiative to speak. This wasn't the first time he had defeated Li Sang Hyuk. Talking too much would offend others.

He still has emotional intelligence.

Huni was still chewing gum, and he felt dazzled when he looked at his 1/6 record.

In three games, his death count has exceeded that of Cuzz. Fortunately, he ate a head, which made his record look less miserable.

He felt that it was a mistake for him to come to SKT.

The salary is not as high as in Europe and the United States, and the daily training days are not as comfortable as there. In the end, it was reduced to 1 kill and 22 deaths, which almost left a famous scene in the history of League of Legends.

Even if the data is not good, forget it. In the end, we only got one top 4!

How is this result different from when he was in European FNC two years ago? At least at that time, I could still perform explosive kills, and I could shoot an unbelievable 4-0 in BO5 just by playing casually.

What kind of suffering do I come to SKT to do?

The little peanut in the lounge had the same idea as Huni. I entered the World Championship for the first time last year. How can I say that reaching the top 4 is considered a success? I rejected the olive branch offered by leagues at home and abroad to join SKT. Isn’t it just to win the championship?

MSI lost, claiming that they still have half a year to go, but now their World Championship journey is over!

The most shameful thing was that in the last set, Kkoma sent Blank to replace him and pin him next to the water dispenser.

In Little Peanut's heart, this is pure distrust.

The team voices on the big screen in the lounge had long since disappeared, and the TV automatically switched to the LCK commentary booth. No staff pressed the mute button, and the commentary echoed in the closed room.

"Congratulations to YM again, they will face the winner of RNG and SSG in the top half on November 4th," Roaring Emperor said with regret, "We are destined to see the host LPL team in the Bird's Nest..."

"Now we can only cheer for Samsung and hope that SSG can win in tomorrow's semi-finals." Madlife sighed.

He would rather watch SKT than pin his hopes on Samsung.

The reason is simple: his relationship with Samsung is very poor.

The SSO (Samsung Ozone) team in the S3 Global Finals was still called MVP Ozone in the summer split. It consisted of top laner Redmi, jungler vs. three, mid laner Spring Emperor, Edici Little Devil imp, and assistant Big Quail Mata. It ruined the hopes of madlife's CJ team in the global finals.

Then he had a record of 5 wins and 3 losses and missed the quarterfinals of the World Championship. Even the factory director couldn't catch up.

At that time, CJ was at the height of its popularity in Korea, and its popularity was comparable to WE in China.

South Korea is a major producer of idol groups, and the fandom culture has become popular early. CJ fans feel disgusted when they see Samsung and this group of people.

It doesn’t matter if you eliminated my home team, going abroad to reach the top 16 is disgusting?

If this doesn’t destroy your three stars, wouldn’t it mean that all these years of being in the entertainment industry have been in vain?

Wearing all kinds of skins on their bodies, CJ fanatics swaggered around the market, claiming that SSO had embarrassed the Republic of Korea, and claimed to want everyone from Samsung to get out of South Korea.

As for the Samsung Double C - Emperor and Omp put all their skills in talking in S3. Although they were afraid of trouble, they dared to cause trouble. They even fired at CJ during the interview. After a back and forth, the Liangzi of the two teams was settled. Got off.

Although things have changed four years ago, Madlife still longs for Samsung to die, but at this moment he has to place his hope on them.

"Except for S1, which has not yet opened the server, we have never missed the finals in the next five years..." Roaring Emperor, a commentator who has watched the Korean competition grow little by little, has a bit of a choke in his words, "Come on, Samsung Galaxy!"

Leehom pulled the wrinkles on his suit pants, stood up, opened the door to the lounge, and greeted his team members.

No one spoke, and there was dead silence in the lounge.

It was very similar to the team voice when the crystal was about to be pushed away 10 minutes ago.

KKoma glanced at the expressions of the team members. All seven of them were young people around 20 years old. They couldn't hide what they were thinking about and all their emotions were expressed on their faces.

Xiao Hei still buried his head in self-reproach, thinking about whether there was anything he didn't do well in the last game, while Li Sang Hyuk's eyes were red, holding his peripherals without saying a word, and his hair was as messy as a bird's nest.

This is the team member with the strongest desire to win. The others have different expressions and have their own concerns.

People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.

After failing to win the global finals for two consecutive years, Kkoma knew that this SKT team was about to end.

…

Lin Ran held the microphone in his hand and stood in the center of the stage, enjoying the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

The audience at the Guangzhou Stadium was far less than that at the Oriental Sports Center today. When Lin Ran was being interviewed, there were many infield spectators who came to the front row. They were holding all kinds of support items, trying to show Lin Ran. Clear yourself.

The cheers became even louder now, and Lin Ran felt that his eardrums were a little overwhelmed.

Ren Dong, who was about the same height as him, was standing nearby with a smile on his face. Lin Ran felt that this man was laughing at him - after all, the host was wearing earphones, so the noise produced by the audience would not have much impact.

The fans were so enthusiastic that Lin Ran couldn't bear it.

Ren Dong waited for the cheers and screams from the audience to gradually dissipate before he asked his question.

"Welcome YM's mid laner Ran to accept our post-game interview. Today we swept and defeated SKT," he emphasized the word "sweep", "How are you feeling?"

As soon as Lin Ran raised the microphone, he heard another burst of cheers from the audience. He glanced around and found that someone was actually holding a CP banner of Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang, Jack, and it looked like a love triangle.

He regretted not being able to bring his mobile phone to the stage, otherwise he would have taken a photo and sent it to the group to provide the Garlic Bastard with dark historical material for the bot lane.

The cheers from the audience died down, and he pondered before speaking, "I'm still a little excited. After all, if you win this semi-final, you can enter the final. It can be regarded as completing another phased goal."

"As for SKT, I am really disappointed with their performance today..." Lin Ran said tactfully, "Their strength is not as good as last year, and our teamwork is much better than S6, so it seems that the score is relatively disparate."

【Crazy, crazy, crazy! 】

[We do have capital, 12 wins and 0 losses in small games! 】

[3:2 in last year’s World Championship, 3:1 in this year’s Mid-Season Championship, and 3:0 in World Championship. How about playing an arithmetic sequence? 】

[The strength of these five people is too NMB ridiculous. Does Riot care about them? 】

Ren Dong wisely did not stay on the topic of SKT, "What do you think of Ran's other final opponent tomorrow?"

Lin Ran knew what Ren Dong and the audience wanted to hear without even thinking about it.

"I think Samsung is very strong..." Many viewers in the audience made confused and surprised sounds. Lin Ran paused and added, "But I believe RNG can win."

"To show the strong side of the LPL region, a civil war in the World Championship finals is essential, just like the contest between S5KOOTiger and SKT. This is very necessary."

The audience's hearts were aroused by Lin Ran's two words.

Although the LCK's dominance started in S3, Uzi's two finals were both crotchless. Although the runner-up did not have a trophy, at least there was a lot of prize money to be won.

It wasn't until S5 that the two Korean teams met in the finals, which made the other four major regions feel fear and despair.

If YM and RNG start a civil war in the Bird's Nest... that would be awesome!

Lin Ran bowed and left the stage, handed the microphone back to the staff, and let the audience dream in the stands.

As soon as he walked to the door of the lounge, he saw Su Cheng, who was leaning against the wall with a happy face and he didn't know who he was talking to on the phone.

Through the door, he could hear Bai Yueya, Guo Hao and others crying and howling in the lounge. Jack was singing "The Queen" by Chen Shi'an. His voice was full of emotion, without any technique.

Apparently the person on the other end of Su Cheng's phone also heard the singing in the lounge, and the girl laughed sheepishly.

"The sound insulation is not good, this room is not good..."

She glanced sideways and happened to see Lin Ran.

"Lin Ran is here. Uncle, please talk to him for a while." Su Cheng moved the phone away from her ear, her expression visibly relaxed.

Su Cheng handed him the phone and gestured before entering the room.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ran knew it was his father who called, so he wasn't too polite.

Lin Mingdong's voice was as gentle as ever, "It's nothing, I just want to say congratulations to you."

"Oh..." Lin Ran was silent again. He and Lin Mingdong seemed to have nothing in common.

If things had been different, Lin Mingdong would have also fallen into silence, and the two of them would have started to play awkwardly; but now he is familiar with parent-child content and knows how to open the topic.

"I have a meeting at Sakata headquarters on the 3rd and fly to Beijing in the evening. Your final will be on the afternoon of the 4th, right?"

Lin Ran felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

In his opinion, if a person like Lin Mingdong, who has many things to do and enjoys blessings, can still remember the bird's nest agreement he made with him two months ago, it is considered a success.

"Yes, it starts at two o'clock in the afternoon. If you want to watch it, you'd better arrive early." Lin Ran followed the topic.

"Um..." Lin Mingdong's tone was rare and hesitant, and a sense of embarrassment could be detected through the receiver.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the diva in the lounge finally finished singing.

"I didn't get the tickets. Do you have any?" A workaholic like Lin Mingdong has never been to a concert and knows nothing about Damai.com. "The tickets sold out too fast. I used the software to open it at the right time. It only took two seconds and it was all gone.”

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment and recalled his previous conversation with fans outside the venue, "It's normal that you can't buy this kind of ticket. It's rare to get it."

"Do you want to watch from the backstage or sit in the auditorium?" Lin Ran remembered that Guo Hao said that each of the World Championship club members and coaching staff should bring two infield tickets for each game. Originally, he did not use them. He had played in the top 8 and group games before. During the game, it was even given to Jack - not only did the Shiba Inu have parents at home, but his cousin also came often, and the tickets were sometimes not enough.

"Let's go to the auditorium. Su Cheng's parents are coming too." Lin Mingdong said coldly.

"...Xiaoqian, please give me your ID card information when the time comes. It needs to be a real-name one." Lin Ran exchanged greetings with his father and hung up the phone.

As soon as he opened the door and entered the lounge, he was caught by Guo Hao.

"Bird's Nest, Bird's Nest!" He said happily, holding Lin Ran and Jack between his arms. This scene can be called a world-famous painting - Manager Guo and his 20 million.

YM lounge has long become a sea of ​​joy,

"I haven't been to the Bird's Nest yet. I couldn't buy a ticket during the Olympics year..."

Listening to Guo Hao talking about history next to him, Lin Ran pulled out his neck and returned the phone to his girlfriend.

"Do you two have a better relationship now?" The lounge was too noisy, so Su Cheng huddled next to Lin Ran and asked.

"Much better than before," Lin Ran hugged her and avoided the topic, "How was my fight today?"

…

After receiving a series of rainbow farts from his girlfriend, Lin Ran put on his backpack and went with his teammates to accept post-match media interviews.

Several Korean reporters are still asking YM players about SKT's performance tonight. They want to hear as objective an evaluation as possible from this opponent who defeated their own division team.

Of course, the content that they subjectively think is not very 'objective' is placed in the corners of the text. After all, not many viewers will read the entire content of the media interview.

After all, SKT is the most popular team in the LCK since its establishment. The intensity of the fans' fighting power is quite strong. Fans of all other teams in South Korea together cannot destroy SKT's barbecue stall.

SKT fans were already upset after losing the game. If they saw Jack's cup-filling routine during the interview, they might be offended by the e-sports media.

As for domestic media such as Wanjia E-Sports, Saigao and PentaQ, they are more concerned about YM’s predictions for tomorrow’s semi-finals between Samsung and RNG.

With such public opinion conditions, there is no need for anyone in YM to predict the winner. Even Jin Gong, a trainee who left Samsung, said that RNG can win, which shows his high emotional intelligence.

Lin Ran didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, because subjective opinions inevitably differed from what he meant. What if he guessed wrong and some people who were not very smart started to criticize him on Weibo?

But seeing everyone looking at him with hopeful eyes, Lin Ran couldn't refuse.

"I think the possibility of playing five games is relatively high."

He didn't point out who lost and who won, but the media and the audience still remembered that Lin Ran said in an interview with Ren Dong half an hour ago that he believed RNG would win the final victory.

Although this group of e-sports media is not as fast as Hong Kong reporters, they are not slow at all in publishing.

That night, "LPL's first FMVP predicted that RNG would join YM in the Bird's Nest!" 》The news is flying all over the sky.

Lin Ran didn't have time to watch the editors perform freely. He and his teammates ran to the hotel cafeteria to fill their stomachs. After washing, they lay on the bed to catch up on their sleep.

Although he swept SKT, his opponent also put a lot of pressure on him. A BO5 battle was also very physically and mentally draining.

After getting up the next morning, Lin Ran packed his luggage under the leadership of Guo Hao and prepared to go to Beijing, where the finals were held.

SKT also didn't want to stay here sadly for a long time. They flew directly to Seoul at noon today, and when they checked out, they happened to meet YM in the hotel lobby.

Both sides looked at each other in silence.

One side returns to South Korea to clean up their old and moldy mess and prepare for player renewals during the transfer period; the other side continues to go north to pursue their still shining dreams.

The two teams parted ways from the airport, and everyone in YM successfully arrived in Beijing after a two-and-a-half-hour flight.

The hotel they settled in was right next to the Olympic Village, and less than 3 kilometers away was the Bird's Nest. When Lin Ran was packing his suitcase, he could see the entire National Stadium from above.

It was already 4 p.m., and the second semifinal at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center officially began.

The cheers received by the all-China class RNG when they came out were even louder than yesterday's YM!

It's not that RNG is popular enough to surpass YM, but the popularity comparison is too exaggerated.

The number of open seats in the stadium is fixed at 18,000. It goes without saying that the stadium is full when the game is going on.

In terms of team popularity, SKT is much better than Samsung. Their fans can even occupy 20% of the seats at the LPL home court, which is enough to show its exaggerated popularity.

And this Samsung is very embarrassing.

Our ancestors also had glory, and at least they had a world championship. However, after the name change and the loss of players, the original fans were exhausted, and there were only a lot of people left in the forums shouting, 'Winning the championship forever'.

These people have no sense of belonging to the new Samsung team established by coach Edgar. After all, apart from the coaching staff, the team has also had relatively average results in the past two years since its establishment. The main style is still conservative operation, so naturally they don’t Please the audience.

After all, Samsung fans like Guan Zeyuan are still in the minority.

The person with the largest number of fans in the team is actually Ahn Bixin, a married middle-aged man who was nicknamed the Anti-China Hero back then. One can imagine how popular Samsung is.

At this time, the Oriental Sports Center was filled with black and gold flags of RNG, and enthusiastic fans took the lead in chanting the name of the home team they supported.

The LPL audience has high hopes for this game. YM has successfully passed the test. Now as long as RNG gets some energy, they can see the Bird's Nest Civil War!

Lin Ran stopped paying attention to these things. He found the soldier line information compiled by Doom and lay on the bed to read it. He only turned his head when BP started.

RNG got a pretty good lineup with the priority to choose sides. Uzi's Verus proficiency is not low, and Xiangguo is also very good at Pig Girl.

The only hidden danger is probably the Crown Galio, and Xiaohu took out Ryze to deal with it.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" The door to the room was pushed open, and Su Cheng rushed in carrying a large bag of snacks.

"Why don't you tell me so many things?" Lin Ran quickly stepped forward to help.

"There aren't many things, so I don't need you." Su Cheng boasted that he was not someone who couldn't even unscrew a bottle cap.

Xiaotian decisively took out a pack of QQ candy and started eating it.

Lin Ran took out a box of yogurt and handed it to Su Cheng. He sat at the back and ate potato chips. He looked at his girlfriend on the left and the garlic bastard on the right. He felt that life was extremely comfortable, as if he was enjoying a peaceful life as a family.

Summoner's Rift has arrived.

RNG had a smooth start in the first game.

In just 15 minutes of laning, Chidi was defeated by Uzi by 40 dollars. Xiangguo used the advantage of the bottom line to invade the lower half of Samsung, and kept trailing the leader.

He also successfully controlled the Rift Herald and helped Xiaohu smash the first tower of the Crown.

In 20 minutes, the economic gap between the two sides was as high as 5k. The little tiger Ryze was developing well, but Crown's Galio could not restrain Ryze's side split push at all.

In the 28th minute, RNG took advantage of Xiaohu's bottom lane advantage to successfully involve the opponent's formation and control the Baron!

The fans in the audience burst into deafening cheers, even suppressing the roar that echoed throughout the audience before Baron Nash died!

At 30 minutes, when the economic gap between Samsung and Samsung was approaching 10,000, Leng Shengsheng used the flash of the crown to taunt the three of them and bring the team fight back.

"The strength of the hero Galio is really outrageous," Lin Ran swallowed the potato chips and said, "This W flash is not weakened?"

"It must be peeled," Su Cheng sucked the yogurt, "I don't think it will survive the S8 spring."

Samsung regained a team battle and began to use its rich operational experience to start arranging its troops.

RNG is stuck in a quagmire and it is difficult to get out.

In the face of Samsung's sophisticated vision layout, they were unable to start a team battle!

Time passed by, and the ruler's Kasumi took over the game, winning the battle twice in team battles.

Both sides have broken through two highlands each, and the game has entered the late stage. It is still a three-way brush for development. They are very cautious and no one is willing to reveal their flaws - at this time, if the number of players is reduced, they may be bulldozed.

The game lasted until 49 minutes and 36 seconds, and the turning point finally arrived.

Xiangguo's Pig Girl caught Crown's mistake of moving forward, and Pig suddenly advanced and connected with R [Ice Prison] to start the team battle!

"RNG wants to kill Brother Crown first!"

Verus' Corruption Chain kept up with the control, and Uzi started to move and slash like crazy with his high movement speed!

Verus' tank-cutting ability was clearly visible, and combined with Ryze's control, he was able to send the Crown's pure meat Galio back to the spring in a short time!

In this version that emphasizes frontal and hard-hitting team battles, the lack of a front row is undoubtedly a fatal blow.

"RNG is chasing her all the way, no one from Samsung can escape!"

The commentator shouted excitedly, and the fans in the audience were even more so!

2 for 4!

Although RNG did not defeat Samsung, at the critical moment of 50 minutes, they could move forward and flatten the opponent's base!

"1 to 0! Congratulations to RNG for winning the first victory!"

But the three people in the hotel room frowned.
