LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

"Congratulations to the LPL All-Star Team!" The live English commentator's voice was loud and echoed in the closed studio: "Successfully defeated the LCK 3:1 and won the 2017 All-Star Division Championship!"

After taking off his headphones, the deafening cheers broke into Lin Ran's ears across the air without any obstruction.

He sighed indifferently and looked at Xiaoyao next to him. Apart from the brief excitement and joy in their eyes, the rest was full of exhaustion.

The last official event of 2017 finally came to an end. Lin Ran, who had played all year, just wanted to go home and eat scallion noodles.

"Ahhhhh!" Uzi let out a groundhog cry in great excitement. He hugged his assistant Shi Senming first, and then rushed towards Lin Ran.

Lin Ran glanced at Uzi's belly, which looked like meat, eggs, onions and chicken in a wine barrel. He subconsciously took a half-step to the side.

Then the garlic bastard suffered.

"I'll fuck you..." Xiaotian felt like he was suffocating. Uzi was a little taller than him, but his weight could hold up to two of him. He grabbed the bastard's thin waist and shook it from side to side.

Then Uzi suddenly stopped, the corners of his mouth lowered slightly, and his smile disappeared instantly.

"What's wrong?" Garlic Bastard took advantage of the chaos to break free.

Uzi hesitated, "I swallowed the gum... Is everything going to be okay?"

Shi Senming laughed out loud.

On the other side, 957 still had a gentle smile on his face and stretched out his right hand to shake Lin Ran's hand.

"Thank you." He said sincerely.

Lin Ran raised the corner of his mouth, "You should thank yourself most."

The 24-year-old 957 is the same age as the ancestor Seven, and is definitely a veteran in the competition. He has a strong sense of crisis in his heart after witnessing the factory director slipping from the top step by step.

He doesn't know how long he has left in his career. He has been playing in the LPL for so long and has only won a few championships. 957 cherishes this All-Star Game.

It can be seen from the hero he chose in this game that 957, like Jin Gong, only wants to win and add to his wall of honor at the peak of his career.

After shaking hands with their opponents, the five LPL players came to the center of the stage. Head coach Bai Yueya also ran over from the backstage, and everyone formed a circle to win the All-Star Game trophy!

The flashes of the audience's cameras turned on, and together with the cheers and screams and the golden rain in the sky, they formed a wonderful picture.

Uzi was still shouting excitedly. This was the second time in his career that he won the trophy after the 2017 Intercontinental Tournament.

"The gold content is much higher than the intercontinental competition, right?" Uzi was still chatting with his teammates.

"It's a pity that this trophy is too light." The boy looked at the toy-like Champions Cup in his hand and was slightly dissatisfied. "It's far from the World Championship. Oops..."

Once Xiaotian got acquainted with others, he started to be weird and disgusting. The two players on the field who had not won the world championship-Uzi and 957 used to keep their expressions on their faces and continued to smile in front of the camera.

The tall blonde female host Sjokz walked quickly onto the stage.

After the usual congratulations, Sjokz continued:

"Now I will announce the FMVP players for this All-Star Regional Competition..." She glanced at her hand card and smiled, "Uzi, congratulations!"

Uzi beamed with smiles, winning the Solo Championship, the Regional Competition Championship and the Regional Competition MVP. He blossomed three times in one day. He had never felt so happy.

"Thank you to my teammates..." Uzi then suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Ran behind him, "I especially want to say thank you to Brother Ran. In this All-Star Game, you have made great contributions to me and the team. Small sacrifice.”

Uzi who doesn't play games is a good Uzi, and his emotional intelligence instantly takes over the high ground.

He felt that All-Star Lin Ran had taken good care of himself this time. The team chose to support the bot lane in the four finals games to give him the maximum room to perform.

In fact, it is okay to support a mid laner. After all, it is YM's traditional play style, and Lin Ran's performance is relatively more stable. The team also has supporting junglers and coaches to help. If he wants to play around himself, the team will not There will be objections.

Maybe it will be a little difficult to open up the situation when facing Lee Sang Hyuk, but winning the game is still guaranteed, and the final FMVP who implements this tactic must be Lin Ran.

In Uzi's view, Lin Ran undoubtedly made a sacrifice and chose to give up this personal honor.

Uzi was so moved. Where can he find such a good teammate who is strong and not greedy for merit?

What he didn't know was that the reason Lin Ran didn't choose him as the core in the finals was because... he was lazy.

After a busy year, it is reasonable for the All-Stars to take advantage of the situation, right?

Lin Ran yawned and ran back to the hotel to pack his luggage after the interview. Tomorrow he planned to collect all the books on Su Cheng's book list. If he had free time, he could also make an appointment with the designer to talk about Little Yellow Duck. The problem.

On December 14, the LPL All-Star team took a flight back to Shanghai.

But there was one more person traveling with him.

Casa, it’s him again!

Under the reluctant eyes of his LMS teammates, the Flash Wolf King resolutely embarked on the road to another division, just like Columbus said goodbye to his hometown and opened up a golden road.

Along the way, Casa, who has a high concentration of two-dimensional elements, thought that he was a great pioneer in the age of navigation and found another way for other boys in his division to continue their careers!

During this period, he had a good chat with YM manager Guo Hao, but there were always two problems before them.

Xiaotian is in good condition now. Is it necessary for Casa to rotate?

If you want to join YM, how should you rotate?

Solve the first problem first before you can think about the second one.

Guo Hao didn't have the answer to the question, but that didn't stop him from chatting with Kasa first. The two knew each other's love for each other.

Casa still has the guaranteed RNG in hand, and is not afraid of delaying himself-not to mention communicating with the double-champion club about joining, strictly speaking, it is not a waste of time.

Before Lin Ran could worry about others, Uzi, who was sitting next to him on the plane, extended an olive branch again.

"Brother, are you really not considering transferring?"

Lin Ran looked around with a serious expression, "I still have a contract. It's against the rules for you to discuss the transfer in private like this."

Uzi couldn't care less about whether it was illegal or not at this time, he was so anxious that he died.

Playing as a complete star, Uzi deeply realized that the middle lane is his father.

If you provide resources at ordinary times, your carry will be stable; if you don't provide resources as a wandering tool, you can also be a good supporter in the bot lane.

Can help formulate tactics, can stabilize the morale of the troops in the lounge, and can also act as a commander on the field...

Where can I find this kind of mid laner?

I am afraid that not all dogs can win in the bottom lane... Thinking of this, Uzi's mind wandered, and he realized that he and YM's ADC were indeed dogs.

He shook his head to clear away distracting thoughts and continued his lobbying.

Originally, Wu Zi wanted to talk to Lin Ran yesterday, but the hanging man went to the bookstore to buy books.

If the situation is urgent, we can only chat quietly on the plane.

"Stop talking," Lin Ran shook his head, "I will never go to RNG in my life."

"What about me coming to YM?" Uzi continued.

"Can you leave RNG?" Lin Ran glanced at him.

Uzi was stunned.

He seemed unable to answer this question. He knew that his contract was completely stuck with RNG.

Lin Ran looked at the magazines on the plane and ignored Uzi.

In fact, even if Uzi could move from RNG to YM, Lin Ran would not want to be a teammate with him.

The scene in the third game of the All-Star Game when the bottom lane died twice and was caught autistic is still vivid in his mind. During these days of training, Lin Ran has a pretty good feel for Uzi's temperament.

Uzi can remain silent in a small game like the All-Star Game. Who can guarantee that he will not make the same mistake on a bigger stage in the future?

Lin Ran couldn't afford this risk. The World Championship was a year's hard work of the entire team, and he didn't want to delay his and the team's results due to some off-field factors.

Uzi's strength is indeed very strong, Lin Ran can completely feel it.

In terms of current strength in the competition alone, he is better than Shiba Inu.

But the competition is about more than just comparing the physical strength of players and teams.

Is it really because Uzi has been without a championship for many years because he is a bad guy?

There may indeed be a certain relationship - including being the scapegoat for QG's Nakano En.

But most of the time, his teammates are normal and even better than other teams.

Why do you always lose?

Hero pool, mentality...the factors that lead to failure may seem accidental, but in fact they are bound to happen.

No way, that's the nature.

Lin Ran would rather be teammates with the Shiba Inu. Even though he sometimes dies suddenly after receiving Q, at least the hero pool in the game is not closed and there is no problem.

After a day's flight, Lin Ran landed back in Shanghai in the evening. The lanterns were beginning to turn on at dusk, and cold winds were blowing through Shanghai in winter. He quickly put on his down jacket as soon as he got off the plane.

It was a bit late, and Royal Family, YM and WE all sent cars to pick up their players.

Kasa wanted to sneak away alone, but Lin Ran dragged him into the car.

The SUV has a very spacious space. With Guo Hao sitting in the passenger seat, and the three contestants sitting in the back seat, it didn't feel crowded.

Guo Hao first congratulated his midfielder team for winning the honor, and after saying a few words of greeting, he turned around:

"Kasa, are you staying at our base or..."

"Just a hotel, I've booked it all." Casa turned on his phone and gave the driver a look at the location.

"That's fine." Guo Hao didn't insist on dragging people to live at his base. After all, nothing has been settled yet, and keeping a certain distance would be beneficial to both parties.

During this period, Guo Hao was still holding his mobile phone and confirming the itinerary for the investors' visit with the base staff.

"BMW hasn't come yet?" Lin Ran asked.

Guo Hao sighed, "No, I heard that they have a senior vice president who wants to come and take a look, and they have postponed the schedule."

This is understandable. BMW currently invests in YM, the only e-sports team in the League of Legends field. It has just won the world championship. In terms of commercial marketing value alone, it is worth the tens of millions they invested a year.

After all, the tens of millions used to advertise on CCTV can’t bear to be burned. This time the Bird’s Nest won the championship, and the advertising was free of charge to the global audience, BMW China’s marketing department was already smiling.

Such a successful business investment will naturally be taken seriously.

"You team members will also have to show up by then, so please pay attention to your image..." Guo Hao glanced at the back row through the rearview mirror in the car, "Xiaotian, you need to cut your hair, it's too sloppy."

"Are you wearing your helmet here?"

This sentence directly made Xiaotian laugh. He smoothed his hair and promised to go to Teacher Tony tomorrow.

Guo Hao's brows were still furrowed, and it could be seen that he was under a lot of pressure. After all, this senior vice president was no joke.

Lin Ran was not interested in the senior vice president, as long as the marketing director didn't come.

Casa was still looking at the interior of the BMW. Before he got in the car, he was envious enough when he saw the black and red paint with the YM team logo printed on it. The more he picked at the interior decoration, the more he decided to come to the mainland for development.

Qiyao is really rich!

The LMS market is too small to accommodate these giant brands.

At this time, Xiaoyao followed Casa's outstretched arm and saw an expensive-looking watch.

"Do you like playing with watches?" Garlic Bastard asked when he had nothing to do.

"Yes," Casa touched his watch, "It's a personal hobby, just like Ning likes to buy shoes."

"Oh..." Xiaoyao said in a protracted tone, "You are also a cousin."

Kasa was confused and embarrassed to ask directly for fear of exposing his ignorance.

Cars were speeding by, the street trees on both sides were retreating rapidly, and the bustling night view of Shanghai unfolded before Casa's eyes.

After an hour's drive, Lin Ran finally saw the familiar Tongji Beiyuan.

"Brother Ran, you go back and say hello to Chengzi," Guo Haolin said when he said goodbye, "I will take leave in about two weeks to prepare for the German Cup. I will let you know then."

Lin Ran responded, got out of the car and took out his suitcase.

The car door had not yet been closed, and Lin Ran could still hear the conversation inside the car.

"He lives with his girlfriend, right?" Kasa's crooked accent was out of place.

"Yeah, so what?" Xiaotian was still learning his accent, "We who have no partners should get together."

"Hey... I have a wife." Kasa was disgusted.

"Ah?" The garlic bastard didn't expect that he could still hear the news. His eyes lit up and he immediately started gossiping, "Who is who?"

"Yinglili." Kasa said seriously.

…

The elevator stopped, and Lin Ran dragged his suitcase to the door of the rental house. His girlfriend had changed into light gray floor mats these days. He rubbed it twice and opened the door with the key.

The thick smell of fireworks and the warm and soft lights hit his face. Through the screen, Lin Ran saw Su Cheng working in the kitchen wearing home clothes and singing "Little Sloppy".

"Little sloppy, really sloppy, he is the sloppy king..."

So warm.

Isn’t the smell of fireworks too strong?

"Su Cheng!" he shouted, "turn on the range hood!"

"Oh oh oh!" came the girl's crisp voice, "I asked why the oil smoke was so heavy this time. I see..."

"What are you doing?" Lin Ran put on his slippers and hurried to the kitchen without even bothering to change his clothes.

"Sweet and sour...pork ribs." Su Cheng held up the spatula and looked at the food in the pot before answering hesitantly.

Lin Ran took a glance.

I guess he made it according to the recipe. There was no big problem with the previous steps, but the problem with the heat was too big. Fortunately, he arrived in time and the ribs were not burnt yet.

"I'll do it," he turned to look at Su Cheng, "Chengzi, from now on... stay in the kitchen less often."

"I'm afraid of a fire one day." Lin Ran added.

This undoubtedly stung Su Cheng's fragile self-esteem.

"This is an accident, an accident!" She emphasized. She didn't know whether it was because of the fire or because Lin Ran said he was anxious. The white neck exposed outside the home clothes was dyed pink.

"Yes, you can cut cucumbers in three days, right?" Lin Ran turned on the fire to collect the juice and glanced at her.

Su Cheng remained silent.

After her last phone call with Lin Ran, she specifically asked her mother about learning to cut cucumbers.

Her mother heard that Su Cheng actually spent three days learning to cut cucumbers, and proudly told the eavesdropping father that she was indeed my daughter, just like her mother back then.

Su Cheng was so angry that she put down the phone at that time.

"Go and clear the table, dishes, chopsticks, rice, etc." Lin Ran ordered, as long as you have the skills to do these small tasks, Su Cheng can handle it.

As soon as Su Cheng took out the tableware from the cupboard, she saw Lin Ran still wearing the All-Star uniform.

"You haven't changed your clothes yet..."

But Lin Ran, who had just witnessed Su Cheng's kitchen operation, was worried. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "How about you change it for me?"

The girlfriend's cheeks became more and more rosy, but she had just been beaten by Lin Ran, so she tried to save the situation, "...if you are willing, it's not impossible."

"Forget it, I'll finish the dishes and wash them." Lin Ran took out two eggs and tomatoes from the refrigerator behind him.

Then he stared at the cucumber next to him and planned to pat it down and make a cold dish.

Fortunately, these dishes were relatively simple. Lin Ran finished them easily, grabbed a change of clothes and ran to the bathroom.

His hair was short and it was easy to wash. Lin Ran rushed out within a quarter of an hour, and the food was still hot when he returned to the dining table.

Su Cheng opened a large bottle of orange juice and poured it into Lin Ran's cup, "Congratulations on winning another championship."

The two of them clinked their glasses together, and the crisp sound of the glass reverberated in the room, intertwined with the voice of the news broadcast announcer in the living room.

"What number is this?" Lin Ran felt that he had won so many championships that he could no longer count them.

"Let me count... three LPL, two S-level tournaments, one mid-season tournament and one Demacia Cup," Su Cheng counted with his fingers. "If you include LSPL and All-Stars, there are 9 championships in total."

"It's a bit difficult to catch up with Faker's number of championships," Lin Ran frowned, "He's too powerful."

He picked up a piece of ribs, and the sweet and sour sauce mixed with the unique aroma of the ribs whetted his appetite.

"But he has been playing professionally for three more years than you," Su Cheng smiled. "If you had the same achievements in S8 as you did this year, you would have had more championships than him."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Lin Ran had been busy for a year and finally waited for the vacation. He didn't want to set any goals for himself. The pressure was really high, "When is your final exam?"

"It will start next week, and it will probably end the week after New Year's Day." Su Cheng was not too worried, as her grades had always been good.

Amidst the aroma of the food, the two chatted about everything from their respective studies to current affairs news from all over the world.

When the last piece of ribs was stuffed into Su Cheng's stomach, all three plates of small dishes on the table had been cleared away.

At Su Cheng's strong request, she took on the cleaning work after the meal, while Lin Ran was sent to the living room to watch TV.

The news broadcast had already ended. He glanced at the female host who had been working as a weather forecaster for twenty years and had never aged before, and he changed the channel without mercy.

When Su Cheng came back from the kitchen, he couldn't find a suitable TV program.

"Why don't you use the computer to watch TV series?" Su Cheng suggested.

Lin Ran was too lazy to play League of Legends now and didn't want to engage in live streaming, but he suddenly realized that he had no other way of entertainment.

When he discovered this problem, he felt that his life was extremely boring. Even Lee Sang Hyuk, who was also a superstar in the league, was addicted to the bridge-building game.

He seems to have nothing but League of Legends.

Su Cheng was pulled into the room in a daze. She moved her laptop from her rental house, and the two of them sat cross-legged on the bed and cuddled up to watch TV series.

"White Deer Plain" has become a huge hit this year. It was successfully picked up by Secretary Dakang and Son-in-law Qi Tongwei at the beginning of the year.

It is a TV series of good quality, but the number of episodes played by Su Cheng is not right.

Not long after the performance, Tian Xiao'e and Hei Wa acted out a play on the bed. Lin Ran froze when he looked at what was happening on the computer screen.

Su Cheng, who had been lying lazily in his arms, also sat upright, the tips of her ears faintly showing through the scattered black hair were red.

Embarrassed.

Just like when I was ignorant in adolescence, it was like watching a kiss scene in a TV series next to adults - I was overwhelmed by the water.

The two of them fell into silence and remained in a stalemate for a minute. Seeing that this episode was not over yet, Lin Ran coughed and leaned forward, wanting to move the cursor to drag this episode out completely.

With her chest close to Su Cheng's back, she moved forward reflexively.

Her feet moved restlessly, and her knees accidentally hit the laptop, and then pushed the "bed scene between Tian Xiao'e and Hei Wa" a little further away.

Lin Ran was not Zach, so he couldn't extend his arms, so he was forced to move forward.

"What are you doing?" Su Cheng, who never looked back, only felt that Lin Ran was pushing against her. She was a little annoyed for a moment, leaned back and pushed back hard.

From the corner of his eye, Lin Ran accidentally saw the shocking white hair peeking out from under the collar of her loose home clothes, as well as the newly-tied bun. His thoughts flowed freely through his chest. This time, he went straight for her without hesitation.

Tian Xiao'e and Hei Wa were still entangled on the computer screen, and the suppressed and brief gasps sounded from the computer speakers and the bed at the same time, intertwining with each other.

…

Su Cheng lay flat on the bed, his eyes lost and his consciousness confused.

"Are you okay?" Lin Ran's voice was slightly worried.

"It's okay..." Su Cheng wanted to raise her arms, but found that her body was terribly weak, "I want to be quiet."

The passionate clip on the laptop had already finished playing, and Lin Ran closed it with a snap.

"How about I take you back?" Lin Ran looked at his disheveled girlfriend on the bed.

Su Cheng was so excited that she ran back to her rental house. She had to pass the elevator. It was the evening rush hour and she didn't want people to laugh at her.

Turning over, the house clothes slipped off the shoulders, revealing a snow-white collarbone.

She quickly pulled her clothes back to their original shape, and then took the computer away from Lin Ran.

"See you tomorrow!" Su Cheng said angrily.

Lin Ran dropped his girlfriend at the door of his house and just returned to his rental house.

The phone keeps ringing.

When you open it, Goodfellas is full of big news.

The European fantasy gods G2, which has been in the game for the past two years, finally officially announced their lineup for the new season.

Zven successfully deceived Ah P and made his good brother think that he was going to study. Unexpectedly, he secretly tricked Chen Cang into running away to North American TSM with his assistant mithy.

The top laner and jungler Korean players also left the team.

Ah P unknowingly accomplished the feat of the Korean director's score - 1 kick to 4.

However, his boss Ocelote, who has a good relationship with him, is determined to regain the glory of the European Division and has brought Ah P new strong teammates.

Jankos, the Polish jungler who once partnered with Yue Lun in H2K, and Wunder, the top laner who played well in SPY, joined the team.

The bottom duo is ROC's Hjarnan and the Korean aid Wadid. It is worth mentioning that the Korean aid's name is similar to VN, and he is closely related to League of Legends.

Together with Europe's top French king Ah P, G2's lineup in S8 is not considered weak on paper.

Another Galaxy battleship also appeared in Europe.

This is true European glory - FNC.

Although he is only the champion of the S1 Internet Cafe Competition, he still has skin and is absolutely European orthodoxy.

FNC, which has deep pockets, is making up for it while maintaining its original young caps Caps, European high school senior Rekkles and jungler Broxah.

The auxiliary Hylissang was introduced from the Unicorn of Love, and the top laner Bwipo and Soaz were introduced from nDG for rotation.

Europe has evolved into a career buff in S8, while North America on the other side is much more Buddhist. It will be quiet and peaceful for years without competition, and it will be his nursing home.

On the LCK side, the old dynasty SKT seems to have used up its last breath. The key mid-to-bottom line 96 is still there, but it has never been able to find a suitable top laner and jungler.

They can't play S8 with U Emperor, right?

On the other side, KT recharged their batteries and kept the original five starting players. They also introduced the young mid laner Ucal and rotated with the fat general who has not recovered from his waist injury and has obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This is obviously his intention to compete in the World Championship again.

SSG coach Edgar worked hard to get Crown to move to North America in the middle of the transfer period.

And he discovered another newcomer mid laner from the passerby rankings - showmaker.

And LPL...

LPL is still holding its breath!

In fact, the players and the management of each major club have their own information channels, and they can basically get the information about the transfer period in close detail.

At the beginning of the transfer period, YM announced that Crisp's contract had expired and he would become a free agent. For a time, speculation and discussion about "Where is Liu Qingsong going" started in major e-sports forums, with gossip and rumors flying everywhere.

But except for weirdos like Xiye who don't surf at all, most players know that Liu Qingsong has renewed his contract with YM.

Guo Hao had long wanted to make an official announcement to appease fans, but his application has been pending with LPL and has not been approved.

If the documents are not approved, the official announcement cannot be made, so YM can only hold it in.

Lin Ran heated up a glass of milk for himself and then lay on the bed and started surfing. The quilt cover and sheets were just changed by the housekeeper today. They still smelled of the sun. The quilt was also mixed with the aroma of shower gel that Su Cheng had just laid on. .

The YM competition training department was very lively. Lin Ran took a closer look and saw that there was a newcomer.

Guo Hao finally couldn't wait any longer, so he first put the big fish he caught during the transfer period into the group.

If you haven’t given the official approval, it’s not against the rules if I bring people in first, right?

The new coach greeted a group of players in simple English, and Lin Weixiang began to show off his poor English skills.

[I is LWX, VN new skin is me] (I am LWX, the owner of VN new skin)

Hongmi was probably shocked, and after thinking for a long time, she replied with a question mark.

Lin Ran was drinking milk and couldn't help laughing out loud, almost spitting out the white liquid in his mouth.

The big one is coming tomorrow
