LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

"Can the economic advantage of a 20-minute 5K be postponed to 50 minutes?" Xiaotian said vaguely while chewing strawberry-flavored QQ candy.

"The field of view gap is too big. Why did Samsung buy so many cameras?" Su Cheng panicked for no reason.

Although the YM coaching staff began to study their opponents in the knockout rounds when they were still playing in the group stage, Samsung, as a team that qualified in the same group as YM, was unlikely to meet again except in the finals, so naturally it was not the focus of the coaching staff's research and discussion.

Their understanding of Samsung is still limited to when they confidently let Xia Luo face WE.

They defeated WE in the quarter-finals. In this set, they still held on for 50 minutes against the fast-attacking RNG. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this Samsung team had evolved in the knockout stage.

The RNG players also looked unhappy. They knew that today was a tough battle.

During the halftime break, the WeChat chat group of the YM training department kept on going.

Hao Akashi: [Is anyone watching the game? 】

I really don’t drink Pepsi (Lin Ran): [Xiaotian Su Cheng and I are watching in the room, do you want to come? 】

Yuki Judai(JKL): [Come on, come on! 】

He also sent an emoticon of Brother Yao Shui rushing.

|-| (Xiaotian): [Bring your own snacks, drinks and crabs^^]

Yuki Judai: [Okay, I know you have something to eat, so come over and grab it]

Before the start of the second game, this place completely turned into YM's lounge, with players and coaching staff gathered together. Fortunately, the hotel room booked by Riot Games was very large, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.

Jack said he wanted to come over to grab snacks, but he still brought a bag of snacks and AD calcium milk.

A group of people held a team-building tea party in Lin Ran's room.

In the second game, it was Samsung's turn to choose the blue side. Lin Ran and others realized the seriousness of the problem.

"RNG doesn't have enough ban seats..." Jin Gong muttered, holding a chocolate pie produced by his country's Orion in his mouth.

Bai Yueya and other members of the coaching staff couldn't stay idle any longer. Su Cheng held a laptop and typed out BP data on it, and then made a summary of Samsung's BP situation since entering the knockout rounds.

RNG on the red side faces an epic problem. Except for Kalista, who must be sent to the ban position, there are still Galio and Kennen who must be restricted.

Xiaohu Galio is a real talent. I saw it when I played LPL Summer Finals with YM two months ago. He was drooling. It happens that letme doesn’t know Kennen either. Whether it’s AD solo or AP team play, they are all messed up. .

Unfortunately, these two heroes are the unique skills of Samsung in this world championship.

The powerful lane dueling ability brought by Kennen's AD can bring Cuvee's personal ability to the extreme; while Crown chose Galio for the purpose of mixing, his laning ability this year is really not ranked among the world-class mid laners. On the number one, being killed alone is also a common thing.

A hero like Gary O'Tan, who is easy to mix up in the lane and is very effective in team fights, is very suitable for players like Crown who mainly rely on experience and overall perspective to complete the game.

On a stage as intense as the semi-finals, the hero pool of RNG's second general Hengha was finally exposed. In addition, letme also didn't know Piltover's second battalion commander Jace.

Among the three popular top laners of Jayce, Gnar, and Kennen, letme barely knows only one Gnar. Against the world's top top laner like Cuvee, BP is a big problem.

Faced with a choice, Firefox sent the prince, who has strong fighting ability in the jungle, and Gnar, who is good at Cuvee, to the ban position in the first round, and released Galio.

Crown has never hesitated, I will choose if you give it to me.

"Has RNG found a way to deal with Galio? They played two games in a row." Lin Ran was quite confused and glanced at the white crescent moon beside him.

He was still quite curious. If there was Galio's solution, Lin Ran wouldn't want to use this big meaty guy to play in the game.

"I don't know either... Let's take a look and talk." The white crescent moon clicked against the spring of the pen barrel.

He hasn't found any good method so far. Galio has become a popular hero in the competition a few months ago. If it could be solved so easily, the coaches of other teams would probably be pig-nosed.

Xiaohu used Ryze to good effect against Galio in the last game. He continued to use it in this game. He wanted to use his strong lane pushing ability after making Goddess Tears and his one-on-one suppression of Galio when leading the lane in the mid-term to help the team open a gap. .

The game progressed very smoothly. Ryze's suppression of Galio in the early stage was quite obvious; with lane rights in the middle, Xiangguo used his familiar hunger strike style and used wine barrels to run rampant in the jungle of Leader An; Wu in the bottom lane I spent 15 minutes without saying a word and paid nearly 40 more knives.

There was a 5.5K economic difference between the two sides in 17 minutes, and the gap was even greater than in the previous game.

The audience at the scene felt that RNG was sure to win. As long as they won this game, RNG would lock in the match point!

They became even more energetic, and screams and cheers could be heard one after another.

But something unexpected happened.

"The RNG group wants to capture this Canyon Pioneer, but Leader An is hiding in the grass in the river!" Zeyuan's excited voice echoed in the Oriental Sports Center, "He wants to attack Uzi!"

In the shadows, Pig Girl threw her Ice Lasso and hit Uzi's cannon at close range!

The next moment, Galio's ultimate move appeared with Pig Girl as the center of the circle!

"Crown cooperated with Leader An and actually defeated Uzi!"

Xiao Ming tried his best to save Uzi, but instead got himself in.

The duo died in battle, so RNG naturally did not have the capital to control Rift Pioneer, so it had no choice but to let Leader An take over.

This pioneer was used by Ambien to advance to the previous tower and help cuvee open up the situation.

The economic gap narrowed dramatically, the situation slowly shifted to equilibrium, and Samsung began their operations.

The YM people in the Beijing Olympic Village Hotel took a deep breath.

"Are you crazy?" Liu Qingsong was dumbfounded.

Samsung assistant Corejj has 3 real eyes in his backpack!

The total value of 3 real eyes is 225 gold coins, which is quite exaggerated for the current version of the assistant position, which is very economical.

Not only to assist himself, Leader An and Cuvee have two real eyes, and even the ruler who is not financially well-off bought two!

On one trip back to the city, 5 people bought 11 real eyes!

There was a whisper of discussion in the room. Professional players were extremely sensitive to the unusual number of true eyes.

"A total of 825 gold coins were spent..." Su Cheng frowned, "Can Samsung earn it back?"

Although there are a lot of real eyes on his back, in order to restrict Korean operations a few years ago, Riot Games stipulated that each hero can only have one real eye in Summoner's Rift. If you insert another real eye, the previous one will disappear. .

In this way, unless cheating, a team can only have 5 true eyes on the map at the same time.

RNG also has one real eye per person, which can be said to be the standard operation of professional teams. After returning to the city to buy equipment, if there is some money left, it will definitely be supplemented with real eyes.

It seems that the number of real eyes on the map for both teams at the same time is 5. Samsung's real eye sea tactics seem to be of no use.

But Lin Ran immediately realized the power of Samsung's tactics.

Around 22 minutes, the two sides started a tug of war near Dalongkeng.

No one wants to give up the view of the upper river, and real eyes and fake eyes are poured down as if they are free of charge.

In just half a minute, all the eye positions of RNG's double C were exhausted. The vision transformation did not play much role in this battle for vision, and Letme was still dealing with Cuvee's single belt in the bottom lane and could not reach the top half in time.

This resulted in RNG being the only one with real eyes in their hands, Nosuke.

They have to take on the important task of competing for vision with the four people in front of SSG.

How is it possible to win this robbery?

RNG doesn't have a big advantage now. Even if they are 1W ahead, they don't dare to touch the grass - the famous scene of S5's child Wandering God Jinx's sudden death is still vivid in my mind.

In addition, Corejj used Luo in this game.

Who wants to learn EDG?

All of RNG's real eyes were instantly cleared, and the fake eyes had little effect in facing this sea of ​​real eyes tactic - a field of view inserted in the shielding range of the real eyes for only a sporadic period of time would not work at all.

"RNG's vision is very poor," Su Xiaoyan's voice was as calm as ever, "They only have two artificial eyes at the edge of the river, and the rest of the eye positions have been emptied by three stars..."

Zeyuan's excitement was palpable, "SSG has completely locked the field of vision around the dragon pit. The four real eyes have played a huge role!"

The area around the Dragon Pit was dark, and RNG did not dare to push in. The four of them pulled around for a moment, and found that the Samsung player had not appeared in their field of vision for some time.

"Uzi's visionary transformation has successfully illuminated Dalong Pit!"

Along with the commentary voice, there are three-star people in the dragon pit, who are surrounding the fire-collecting dragon!

Letme handed over the teleport immediately, but the 4.5-second teleportation guidance time prevented RNG from waiting for him to land. Looking at the dragon whose blood volume continued to drop, they rushed in in a hurry.

But the field of vision provided by the far-sighted transformation has been blocked by the real eye, and they have no idea of ​​Samsung's movements!

Corejj's Luo accelerated and ran wildly, flashing out from the shadow of the dragon pit, setting off an intoxicating breeze.

W [Grand Arrival] successfully charmed RNG 3 people with the effect of R [Jingxiao Gap]!

The next moment, Pig Girl also threw out her ultimate move and hit Mala Xiang Guo in the face!

"Crown Galio's ultimate move landed, perfectly connected and controlled," Zeyuan spoke very fast, his eyes widened when he saw Crown's wonderful performance, "RNG's formation is about to be broken up!"

Uzi was busy dealing with the three-star Nakano Suke who rushed in front of him, but he exposed his identity to the ruler.

The mouse he was operating was non-stop and firing on all cylinders!

Accompanied by the rat's proud and wild laughter, the poisonous crossbow pierced the bodies of everyone in RNG and caused high damage!

When letme teleported to the ground, all four teammates were reduced to residual health and were still being chased and harvested by Samsung.

A top laner with mediocre development can do very little in this situation. He can only sell out.

"1 for 4! Samsung exchanged Luo's life for the heads of four RNG heroes!"

Only letme was left to escape, and SSG did not forcefully pursue him and turned around to take away the dragon.

"I'll go..." Shiba Inu was stunned, and the French bread in his hand was no longer fragrant. "Isn't Samsung's move a bit powerful?"

The 825 gold coins spent on investing in 11 real eyes earned SSG 1,500 gold coins for killing Baron Nash + the economy gained from killing four RNG players + the Baron BUFF.

Make a lot of money.

"The economic gap has been leveled. Who can withstand this?" Everyone in YM was shocked.

"Is there still such a routine?" Lin Ran murmured, staring at the screen and letting Lin Weixiang take the potato chips from his hand.

Samsung's performance wasn't over yet. Cuvee didn't move at all when letme teleported just now. He took the opportunity to use the Baron BUFF to take down the two defense towers in the bottom lane of RNG.

When the Baron BUFF ended, Samsung successfully completed an economic overtake.

Once at a disadvantage, RNG will have a harder time resisting Samsung's attack.

The real eye is spreading forward little by little. Leader An and his group are very stable in their advantageous operations. They rely on their vision advantage to find perfect opportunities to fight more and less, and it is easy to avoid a ten-man team battle.

The irritability on Mala Xiangguo's face was visible to the naked eye. He couldn't find an opportunity to start a team fight and could only let his opponent eat away at his field of vision little by little.

At 33 minutes, he finally couldn't help but forcefully started a team battle, but was counterattacked by Samsung, which was well prepared.

3 for 5, the two surviving Samsung players rushed to the RNG high ground to end the game!

This defeat was like a bucket of cold water poured in the face, and the cheers at the Oriental Sports Center dropped eight degrees.

If this game only slightly frustrated the audience, the third game left them completely panicked.

Letme took out Gnar by grabbing instead of banning, but was caught and killed by Leader An at level 3, and died again after teleporting online.

Although Xiangguo tried to stop the loss immediately and successfully manipulated the prince to score a double kill, letme, who had been killed twice in a row, was about to collapse.

Cuvee's Shen used his advantages to the extreme, and actually completed a wave of solo kills with Letme Flash and E [Light Jump] on cooldown!

"No, no, this 0/3 gnar is still playing with a hammer?" Jack stuffed the French bun into his mouth.

Not only professional players, but also commentators can see that this Gnar has no effect.

Shen completed the domination on the side lane, while Letme's Gnar could only stay under the tower due to poor equipment. Leader An successfully took over the Rift Herald with the advantage of the top lane, and then helped Cuvee push down the top tower.

RNG's tactics were completely disrupted. They originally wanted Uzi to use the mouse and other team battles, so that Xiangguo can better capture the two single lanes, which is also in line with RNG's overall strategy this year.

However, the premature collapse of the single-band core Gnar made Mala Xiangguo dare not stay in the top half, and forced it to the bottom lane, hoping to fatten Uzi.

However, the RNG duo chose Mouse + Lulu, whose ability to cooperate with the jungle is quite average, and they failed to succeed in gank after many attempts.

Samsung, which had the upper hand, was even more comfortable playing the real eye. They spent all their extra money to buy the real eye.

The director watched carefully, and even gave a close-up of the economic panel of Ruler Emperor - Dazui had 290 gold coins left after buying the sheep knife. He could obviously wait for 5 seconds at the spring to buy a pair of straw sandals, thus maximizing economic utilization. .

But Emperor Chi was so mad that he stuffed the three true eyes into his bag!

"These B's are crazy..." Liu Qingsong believed that even if he was allowed to play as a support player on stage, he would not be able to do such crazy things in the early stage.

One real eye was inserted into Xiaolong Pit and Canyon Pioneer, lighting up the two most important neutral resources on the map, and also blocked the location of the incense pot!

The core of the Hunger Strike style is to use the opponent's jungle breaks to do more things, but now the two key neutral resources cannot be controlled. If you want to catch people, there are real and false eyes on the road.

How does this work?

Although Xiangguo can replenish his economy by removing eyes, he is originally a jungler who plays hunger strike style, and the utilization rate of his economy is not high.

While he was at a loss what to do, the YM coaching staff far away in Beijing frowned and drew out the previous ward-inserting routes of Anzhang and corejj on the Summoner's Rift map, trying to find some common ground.

Samsung showed undoubted strong execution ability in this semi-final. Compared with the hesitation in the group stage, Samsung was a completely different team.

RNG lost the third game too quickly. Crown's Galio blocked Uzi like a stone door, restricting him to death.

The excitement at the scene quickly cooled down, and the audience in the stands looked up at the big screen. Cuvee, who looked a bit simple and honest, faced the audience with his arms folded, pretending to be stern.

In this game, he carefully played a +5500 economic difference, with a record of 4/4/3. Although the output accounted for only 22.08%, his role was obvious to all.

"It can only be said that Cuvee made full use of his strong personal strength today," Zeyuan stood on the commentary stage and talked eloquently. "Except for the yordle, which is the best, Shen is also one of his unique skills. Proficiency Quite high, once in this summer split..."

The focus of the barrage is not on this.

[Playing three games of classic Galio in a row, the RNG coaching staff knows how to play! 】

[Xia Jue hasn’t had enough lessons. People say they banned Galio, so Firefox just let him go, right? 】

[Is this coach going to buy groceries? 】

The psychological shadow that Lin Ranxia's Galio brought to Royal fans in the three finals was too great. Now that they see Galio's R [Hard Bear Stare] in the circle, their scalps are numb.

Fans saw that Crown got Galio without any pressure in the first three games, and they were immediately dissatisfied with Firefox.

"Is this RNG's response to Galio?" Lin Ran sat on the bed and stretched out his long legs, "It's not that good at all, is it?"

Looking at these 3 games, RNG is indeed prepared for Galio.

During the laning phase, let Xiaohu get heroes like Ryze who can control the lane push, and put pressure on Crown in the middle, so that he cannot easily support his teammates; in the mid-term split push, Ryze can also grasp the advantage and initiative, suppressing Galio until he is unable to do so. breathe.

In the most critical team battle, RNG will use a backhand lineup to try to reduce the threat of Galio's ultimate move, or to get rid of Galio first by grabbing orders in the early stage.

In theory, it can indeed restrain the Colossus of Justice.

But that's only in theory.

There are many times more factors to consider in actual combat than in tactical arrangements, and there are various variables that affect the game.

Facts have proved that even if they dealt with Galio's best first game, Crown still used W Flash to help the team recover from the disadvantage, and it took until 50 minutes to hold on.

Firefox, who was on the edge of the cliff, finally stopped being stubborn. In the fourth game, he was on the red side and took the initiative to ban Galio, which made everyone breathe a big sigh of relief.

The audience felt that RNG was enlightened, and Lin Ran and others had a clearer goal. By banning Galio, we could see what new system RNG and Samsung would come up with.

After all, they are now sitting on the mountain watching the battle. The more tactics these two teams expose, the easier YM's final will be.

The RNG on the red side sent Kalista and Galio to the ban position one after another, and the remaining ban space will be very tight.

They blocked Kennen again and gave Gnar to Samsung.

Edgar naturally accepted it, and he was not surprised that RNG banned Galio.

After entering the knockout rounds, his Samsung team was the most unknown team. Not many viewers paid attention to them, but this also gave Samsung a chance to make a splash.

He studied more than one tactic in this knockout stage.

Crown locked Malzahar instantly with the third pick in the first round, while RNG locked up the Piltover Policewoman without any hesitation!

Policewoman push!

RNG found that they were unable to deal with Samsung's true eyes. They felt that the pressure they put on their opponents in the early stage was not strong enough, which gave SSG the opportunity to save a lot of money to purchase true eyes.

This time, using the policewoman to push quickly is obviously to bully you for not being strong in the early stage. The policewoman with long hands will crush Samsung to death!

Sure enough, the script went very smoothly. Xiangguo frequently squatted down to help Uzi open up the situation. RNG successfully pushed the three-star bottom lane one-blood tower in 9 minutes!

"Is there something evil about Emperor Chi... Why was Panpan crushed so badly when he fought Uzi?" Lin Ran frowned, "He's even better than Jack."

"I..." Jack never expected that Lin Ran would belittle himself, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had no confidence to refute, so he grabbed a pack of vacuum-packed sausages and started to bite into them.

In Summoner's Rift, Uzi quickly changed lanes and continued to push forward, and then used the strong period of the policewoman to control the Rift Herald.

Everything goes smoothly.

By 20 minutes, all the second towers of SSG were destroyed, and the economy was lagging behind by a full 10,000!

After experiencing the verge of despair in the last game, RNG fans now see a glimmer of hope again, and the cheers bursting from their throats shake the sky!

Even the roar of Baron Nash's death could not conceal their majestic momentum!

Uzi, who was devastating and made a three-piece critical attack in 23 minutes, scored 4 kills in front of the Samsung Spring, dragging the game into the decisive game!

Lin Ran's room was filled with steam and the smell of mutton.

From afternoon to evening, several people were already very hungry, so they simply ordered hot pot takeout while watching the game and simmering the mutton.

People in Beijing like to eat copper pots. Lin Ran is very particular about doing as the locals do when he is in the country. He paid the deposit and ordered a copper pot to be delivered to him. The sesame sauce and chive flowers were also fragrant.

The BO5 war song sounded, Jin Gong clamped a large piece of mutton, dipped it in some small ingredients and inhaled it.

"Who do you think will win?"

Jack's face was flushed with heat, so he took off his team jacket and accidentally opened his short sleeves, revealing a swimming ring.

From the start of the World Championships to now, he has gained weight visibly to the naked eye. In terms of weight alone, he is about the same as Lin Weixiang, who is 10 centimeters taller than him.

The big eyebrow next to him touched the belly of the Shiba Inu and almost got bitten.

"I think... RNG?" Lin Ran wasn't too sure, "Their last round was on the blue side, so BP would be much easier to do."

"I think so," Guo Hao poured another plate of mutton into the pot, "Three-star players have an advantage on the top lane, but Uzi is holding down them the whole time on the bottom lane."

While everyone is discussing, the decisive game has begun!

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the semi-finals had been going on for five hours, but the enthusiasm of the audience showed no signs of fading. They were still cheering for RNG, which they supported.

The unruly Edgar banned the policewoman who Uzi had performed well in the previous game.

As usual, Crown chose Malzahar in this game. After being dormant for 4 games, he finally showed his dazzling light.

Since Malzahar does not have hard control before level 6, Xiaohu suppresses the line very fiercely, but Leader An and Crown grasp at this point.

Samsung's midfielder took the lead in launching a surprise attack on Xiaohu!

"Canceling the account!" Su Xiaoyan looked at Xiaohu who was stuck on the screen with the red BUFF of An, and finally couldn't control the anxiety in her heart. The tone of her usually calm voice also changed.

"Headman An uses Xiaohu to flash, and he flashes with a basic attack to kill the kill!" Like his partner, Zeyuan is also trying to control his emotions.

It's just that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help laughing.

Xiangguo was not idle at this time, and went on the road to force Cuvee to flash out.

Uzi and Xiao Ming still maintained the pressure on the line, making the line very uncomfortable for Chi Di.

But when the time came to 6 minutes, Crown sent a teleport to double-team RNG's bottom lane.

Grip of Hades!

During the 2.5 seconds of suppression, Uzi didn't even have a chance to react and died suddenly on the spot.

"Now that I have closed my account, I can no longer stand up to Crown Brother... As long as Malzahar's ultimate move is good, he will have a chance to gank and catch people!"

At 8 minutes, Leader An came to the bottom lane again with the crown.

Uzi still had no room for maneuver and died again.

Grasshopper's strong hard control in the early stage was too much for Uzi, and it was impossible for him to make the mercury sash first. He would die every time Crown used his ultimate move.

In the decisive game, Uzi always had a bad mentality. After being killed three times in a row, he entered Guan Gong mode again, with his face as red as a monkey's butt.

But this time, before he could close his account and say, "My second brother is invincible," he himself was arrested.

"It's difficult..." Lin Ran didn't feel any regrets. He picked up a chopstick of tofu and put it in a bowl to cool down.

The familiar sea of ​​​​real eyes, Samsung's bit by bit encroaching vision is cutting off RNG's hope of winning!

In the 21st minute, the Crown's ultimate move once again suppressed Xiangguo, who was forced to come to the jungle to lay out his vision without the mercury ribbon, and cooperated with his teammates to complete the kill.

Baron Nash let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground helplessly.

Samsung successfully removed the Baron buff!

RNG still wanted to fight to the death, but Samsung did not give a chance for a head-on battle at all, and used the information gap provided by the field of view to fight against the enemy.

The audience fell into a dead silence, and many emotional fans were still sobbing softly.

In 36 minutes, RNG defeated all three routes, but Samsung still returned to the city steadily to replenish supplies. Only after taking over the ancient dragon did they boldly start the team!

The economic gap of nearly 20,000 yuan left RNG helpless and could only watch its base being destroyed!

The dry ice mist erupted again, and the spotlight flashed above the heads of everyone in Samsung!

The five team members hugged each other and cried. After going through all kinds of hardships, they finally made it to the final stage without being favored by others!

Zeyuan took a deep breath, his face was as red as Uzi, but it was just because of excitement, "Congratulations to Samsung, they won the last ticket to the Bird's Nest!"

"On November 4th, they will compete with YM for the championship!"

The RNG fans at the scene found it difficult to accept this fact. The victory in the first game blinded their eyes, and heaven was torn apart and turned to hell in an instant.

Samsung is far stronger than they thought.

The LPL division's meeting with the Bird's Nest finals is just a dream.

The LCK commentary box on the other side was already boiling, and the Roaring Emperor's nasal voice was thicker than before.

"Congratulations to SSG! Maybe you were unknown before, but after you climb this mountain, they will hear your story. No matter how the story ends, come on Samsung, the last hope of LCK, the last line of Korea, come on Samsung !”

Of course the original sentence is not this, but the Korean language is broad and profound, and the meaning is this.

Roaring Emperor's emotional voice moved countless Korean netizens.

Everyone in RNG could only pack up their peripherals and leave the field, enviously watching their opponents enjoy the spotlight, flowers and applause.

That evening, Riot Games officially released the finals poster.

In the photo, Lin Ran and Guan Guang are standing sideways with their arms folded, and the eye-catching bird's nest is right behind them!

Poster release, finals promotional video recording and shooting, pre-game interviews...

At the same time, the most important training cannot be abandoned.

Lin Ran and others were busy spinning around without leaving the ground.

Time flies and November 4th has finally arrived!
