LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

Lin Ran took off his headphones and greeted the roar of cheers from the fans in the audience.

The voices of the three commentators broke into his ears without any hindrance.

"YM allowed one to chase two, and successfully came back to win in this focused battle!" After three rounds, I remember my voice was a little hoarse. "In this round, they used IG's strong early attack, which they are good at, and won the game in a head-on collision!"

"Although the starting ADC has been replaced, it does not seem to have much impact on YM. Their mid-term rhythm is still very deadly." Miller commented pertinently.

Lin Weixiang took a deep breath and glanced at the output panel. As expected, the policewoman he operated did the most damage.

But he didn't expect to win the MVP in this game. Just because F6's field of vision was stuck in the grass, if it was placed on Uzi and Jack, the e-sports forum would be slaughtered tonight.

The audience will definitely use a magnifying glass to play it frame by frame to see how many mistakes he made to achieve such an outrageous level.

If you get stuck and get killed twice with normal attacks, will you be able to play?

I'm really good at fucking me!

Da Mei also felt that his performance in this game was a bit outrageous. After shaking hands with everyone on IG, he bowed to the audience and thanked the audience before returning to his seat, silently packing up his keyboard and mouse peripherals and preparing to go backstage.

"Lin Weixiang?" Before he even took a step forward, a staff member ran over to him, "You will be interviewed on the main stage later."

"Ah?" Lin Weixiang trembled all over.

"If you are with Brother Ran, remember to smooth your hair!" The staff member hurriedly said this and ran to get the microphone.

Lin Weixiang ran to the exit of the contestant tunnel backstage and straightened the hair on his head that was raised due to wearing headphones in front of the floor-length mirror.

He didn't have many interviews on the main stage, and he was still a little nervous at this time as he had made a fatal mistake just now.

Taking two deep breaths, Big Eyebrow turned his head to look at the mid laner standing next to him.

Lin Ranzheng took off his glasses and put them in the box, and handed them to the staff along with the peripherals. He put his hands together with a relaxed smile and asked him to put them on the seat in the YM lounge.

So calm... Such words came out of Damei's mind.

When can he do this?

"Can you please take a look at these two questions and make some preparations?" Xiao Yu, the female host, handed the hand card she had written down the interview questions to the two contestants.

"No problem, no problem..." Lin Weixiang was so nervous that he stuttered. He agreed without even looking at the contents of the card carefully.

Xiao Yu also looked nervous, nodded and put the card back.

She is considered a newcomer in the field of e-sports hosting. Last year, she was still doing interviews in the secondary league without an audience, but this year she went to the gorgeous lights of the LPL stage, and the players she interviewed changed from transparent and cute newcomers to star players.

However, the promotion gave her high exposure and also added huge pressure. After watching the first game, Xiaoyu thought she would be able to interview the broiler today.

After all, Song Yijin is also an old acquaintance of hers, so she can relax a little during the interview, but she didn't expect that YM still had the last laugh.

This was Xiaoyu's first interview with Lin Ran, the most eye-catching star player in the LPL. She kept observing her makeup in the floor-length mirror and practicing her smile.

As a result, when she went on stage for an interview, she was confused by her first question.

"In the third game that just ended, the two sides started a team battle at the Sharp Beak Camp at the 22nd minute..." Xiao Yu faced Lin Weixiang with a smile on his face, "My teammates still chose to fight in the 4-on-5 situation. Why did you dare to fight when you were facing a group?"

Lin Weixiang blinked, his not very smart brain shut down at the critical moment.

He gently touched his eldest brother with his elbow and cast a look for help.

Lin Ran turned his head and looked at each other with big eyebrows. It was probably because his eyebrows were too thick that he could not read the meaning of Lin Weixiang's eyes.

I was still wondering if there was something wrong with this person, so I slapped him back with an elbow, as if he was flirting.

There is no other way, Lin Weixiang can only do it by himself.

He pondered for two seconds and thought deeply, then held the microphone and said in an ignorant tone: "I...I don't know, I was dead at that time."

Three intense and exciting games had just ended. The audience wanted to watch the post-game interview to relax and listen to what the players had to say. Unexpectedly, there was such a silly answer, and they burst into laughter.

"Ah?" Xiao Yu was stunned.

Didn’t I let you read the question in advance? Is this the answer you prepared?

Xiao Yu, who was already nervous, became even more panicked now.

This is a live broadcast. If there is any live broadcast accident, it will be over.

Lin Ran finally reacted after hearing Da Mei's answer, and he quickly took over the topic.

"It was like this at the time. Lin Weixiang was killed in battle, but the teleportation of the top and middle two of us was about to land. If we canceled the teleportation, Liu Qingsong, who was in the encirclement, would also have to answer."

Lin Weixiang looked at his big brother with admiration. Even with his ordinary language organization skills, he couldn't learn it.

"Once the duo is killed, IG will definitely take the Baron. We thought about it and decided to take on this wave of team battles."

Damei belatedly picked up the microphone and tapped his head, which was a full circle smaller than YM's starting ADC, "Brother Ran is right."

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Ran with a bit of gratitude.

Fortunately, Lin Ran smoothed things over, otherwise she really didn't know how to continue the conversation just now.

"Then the next question," she glanced at the cards in her hand, "Today's third round was still the same team battle. Player Lin Weixiang and the old thief were duel in the razorbill grass. The final result can be said to be unexpected. What happened at that time? What do you think?"

Anyway, this matter has already happened, and it is unrealistic to avoid it. The e-sports forum will definitely criticize Lin Weixiang's operation tonight, so it is better to explain it after the game.

"Just..." Lin Weixiang thought about it, but started to stumble again, not knowing what to say.

Lin Ran, who wanted to get off work early, raised the microphone again, "Actually, the reason is very simple. He had a problem inserting his wards. He thought his real wards were in the grass. When he saw other people on IG rushing towards him, he wanted to walk through the bushes and pull him. , so that after killing the opponent's ADC, you can continue to output for a while."

"I didn't expect that my basic attack card was blocked..." Lin Ran continued, "This is normal, there is no need to be harsh."

Although Lin Weixiang's operation was outrageous, it was indeed a small problem in Lin Ran's opinion.

Anyway, this is a regular season game, so it doesn't affect anything.

If Big Eyebrow causes this kind of problem in the spring finals, he will have to imitate Jin Gong and give this person a warning on the neck.

But if you think about it more carefully, it's probably very difficult for Lin Weixiang to grab the starting position after something like this happened.

Da Mei, who was standing nearby, was immediately moved when he heard Lin Ran's words. The corners of his mouth rose slightly without the control of his brain. He picked up the phone and said without thinking, "Brother Ran is right."

Big Brother actually speaks for me like this. He is really...why is he so...he is so gentle...I really cried to death.

Lin Ran didn't know Lin Weixiang's inner feelings, so he explained to Da Mei, "I hope everyone can understand. Players are not robots, and I often make mistakes."

Lin Weixiang stopped laughing after hearing these words. The face changing at the speed of light is similar to the classic emoticon of ancestor Seven.

The previous sentences are reasonable, why do you insist on saying the last sentence? This authenticity is instantly compromised!

[‘I also often make mistakes.’ That’s good to say. When can I see a collection of Lin Ran’s mistakes on Station B? One-click triple combo is ready, Brotherhood GKD】

[Hahaha, look for it with a magnifying glass. It should be possible, right? 】

[If missed cuts also count, then it’s easy to find; it’s not that easy to make a collection if it’s just a mistake in operation]

After finishing the interview, Lin Weixiang's back hunched down visibly, handed the microphone back to the staff, and hurried back to the team lounge backstage.

"Well done, Big Eyebrow!" As soon as he opened the door and entered, he heard Jack's warm greeting.

The Shiba Inu looked smug and proud, with his trademark arrogant smile on his face, "You dare to go A? I didn't expect to be able to block two basic attacks,"

"F*ck!" Lin Weixiang was not used to him. His big eyebrows were different from those of Shi Senming, who could only laugh. He was similar in height to Lin Ran, and pinching Jack was like playing.

Everyone walked out of the venue laughing and joking. Jack's mood was up and down today. He originally thought he was going to feel cold, but he didn't expect that his good brother Big Eyebrow actually gave him a chance.

In his excitement, he had already started researching what to eat for midnight snack.

"Let's order some scrambled eggs with tomatoes first..." Jack ordered the takeout, and glanced at Liu Qingsong, who was carrying a bag and looking domineering and cool. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Just a note, let me He adds some sugar!”

After tearing the wound, he turned around and glanced at him, "Lin Weixiang, give him two more punches to make his memory last longer."

"Brother Xiba, help me!" The situation was not right and he quickly retreated. Jack decisively shrank behind Jin Gong to find a sense of security.

Everyone started to fight, and Lin Ran listened to Guo Hao's words with a look of despair on his face.

Only then did he know that he would have a solo commercial shoot when he returned to the base.

"Just bear with it... there's nothing you can do about it," Guo Hao also knew that Lin Ran was a little tired now. He patted his single player on the shoulder and comforted him, "Who made you famous?"

Lin Ran sighed. Now he realized the troubles of being famous. These interviews and filming took up a lot of time outside of training, leaving him with almost no rest time.

But when Lin Ran thought about the growing bank card balance, his mentality became balanced.

A business event was a one-square-meter wedding room in Wujiaochang, and Lin Ran felt that he was full of motivation again.

By the time everything was done, the clock was approaching 11. He was exhausted and took a shower. He went out to get takeout from the lobby downstairs and ran to the club restaurant to start a video call.

"What are you doing?" Lin Ran could only see the back of Su Cheng's delicate head in the camera lens of Lin Ran's phone. He felt confused and opened the takeout box, and the smell of skewers hit his face.

"Honey... I'm not bald, am I?" Su Cheng was a little worried and ran her hands through her hair, hoping to make her boyfriend take a closer look.

Lin Ran looked up and down, left and right, his long black hair was smooth, "You can't see anything?"

Upon hearing these words, Su Cheng immediately pointed the phone camera at his face, with a relaxed look on his cheeks, "That's good, that's good."

"You haven't eaten yet?" Turning her eyes, she saw the takeout box in front of Lin Ran.

"I want to shoot a magazine and record a video..." After Lin Ran finished speaking, he took a skewer. The texture and aroma of the mutton instantly filled his mouth and went straight to his stomach along his esophagus. After this lick, he finally felt like he was back in a warm place. world.

“I’m so busy,” he lamented. “I’m much more tired than last year.”

Before last year's World Championship, it was the busiest time for Lin Ran and YM's business activities, but that kind of intensity is now normal.

After the alliance, various commercial activities emerged in an endless stream. Although Tengjing continued to suffer, the commercial benefits after winning the championship in the past few years were indeed good. After several years of busy work, the LPL and the clubs were finally able to see real money.

Although it won't break even, it can still be explained to the investors behind it.

But the frequent business activities were too much for the players who usually trained a lot. Lin Ran now felt a little numb in his calves.

"Please pay attention to your meal times," Su Cheng reminded, "Don't get the same stomach bug as Jack."

Lin Ran nodded in agreement and changed the topic, "By the way, what do you mean by baldness?"

Su Cheng rested his chin on his hand. There were textbooks and notes on the table. There was a black pen between the slender index and middle fingers of his right hand, which he was spinning continuously.

"I have a friend..." She thought for a moment and then added, "Female."

"Ah," Lin Ran laughed, "You don't need to emphasize it."

"Oh, listen to me," Su Cheng waved her hand, "She was also in Su Middle School in high school, but you don't know her. Now she is studying physics at Peking University. I met her when I traveled to Beijing with my parents later this year."

"Then," Lin Ran took a bunch of grilled chicken wings and followed the topic with interest, "She's bald?"

Su Cheng nodded fiercely, "There are signs of baldness. It is said that hair falls out in handfuls every day when I wash my hair."

Lin Ran's smile faded after hearing this, and he stretched out his left hand to touch the top of his head.

He recalled the situation when he had just taken a shower, and something seemed to be wrong.

In the cellphone camera, Su Cheng continued: "Tonight, she video-recorded with me after dinner, and her face looked really bad..."

"Peking University Physics? It's a madhouse, it's quite normal." Although Lin Ran didn't take the college entrance examination, he also knew that the students in the famous four madhouses of Peking University were all the kings of involution.

"She still wants to live a few more years, and plans to change her major at the end of this semester and find a more relaxed department. But when she said this, I feel that I am under a lot of pressure in the mathematics department... Do you think I look good recently? "

As Su Cheng spoke, she leaned her face in front of the phone camera.

Lin Ran swallowed the soft and tender chicken wing meat in his mouth and looked at his girlfriend carefully. Su Cheng had just taken a shower, her cheeks were red from the heat, and her eyebrows were a little light in color without makeup. Everything else was normal.

"It's okay." He said honestly.

"Really?" Su Cheng felt relieved and began to observe her boyfriend, "I think you have some dark circles under your eyes."

Lin Ran was not surprised. The dark circles under his eyes have not gone away since the Spring Festival this year. They are usually very light and almost invisible. "It's okay. I guess he just stayed up too late recently."

"Let's go back for a physical examination?" Su Cheng suggested.

"Okay," Lin Ran agreed, "Let's wait until the regular season is over. We should have a short vacation then."

The two of them didn't struggle with this topic for too long. Su Cheng hadn't finished her homework yet, and the midterm was approaching, and she had been under a lot of pressure lately.

One of them was reading the textbook, and the other was playing with the skewers. Occasionally, they looked up and looked at each other in understanding, and the time flew by.

…

On the second day of the focused showdown between YM and IG, there was a video review on the website, and the number of views easily exceeded 30W in one day.

[Hard core analysis review! Analyze the important details of YM’s battle with one against two]

Lin Ran was sitting at the dining table with a depressed look on his face, a meat bun in his mouth, and a tablet in front of him, which was playing the title of this video.

"Do you think this is true?" Guo Hao rubbed his hands, "Our operations colleague saw it when he logged into the Bilibili account."

"Just wait for me to take a moment..." Lin Ran slowly took a bite of the bun, obviously still a little dazed.

After playing IG, the base will be on holiday as usual today.

After all, this is their strong rival on the road to winning the first place in the regular season. Although YM and IG are in different groups, if EDG and WE in the same group both lose to IG, according to the theory of canyon relativity, wouldn't it be equivalent to YM protecting their own in disguise? Ranking within the group?

Lin Ran didn't go out to look for Su Cheng today. His girlfriend now spends time in the library whenever she has free time. Although they are both in Shanghai, it would take more than an hour to meet. Including the round trip, it's just a one-day holiday. There's only half a day left.

It would be better to wait until the end of the regular season to meet again. Lin Ran, who had no one to accompany him, would fall asleep when something happened.

I slept in a daze all day, and didn't get up to wash up until dusk. It had only been two minutes since I sat at the dining table.

Lin Ran opened a bottle of orange juice and took a sip to let the sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth. This taste stimulation went straight to his brain, finally waking him up.

He skipped the beginning and went straight to the main film.

The ID of this video review blogger sounds familiar - SpongeBob SquarePants Shan Niruoer who is on time and never leaves early.

Lin Ran thought for a few seconds before remembering that he seemed to have seen this person's review during the S7 Brazil mid-season.

He always felt that this person's voice had changed. If it were stretched and thinned, making the voice sharper, he would really be able to compete with SKT's meritorious member Shan Niruo.

The review video is a detailed analysis of how Lin Ran repeatedly deceived IG's midfielder and jungler in the second game by using his jewelry eyes.

"The most critical point is that IG didn't know that Ran's first accessory eye was used at the beginning!"

"At the beginning of two minutes, Ran deliberately paused at the F6 wall - this is the habit of many people when inserting wards. With a like expression from Teemo who calculated the time for King Ning to clear the wild, he successfully deceived the IG midfielder. , making the opponent think that they know King Ning Zac’s movements.”

"IG mistakenly thought this was Ran's first accessory eye, and then King Ning was stuck for time, planning to wait for Ran's eye to disappear before taking action... But at this time, Ran's accessory eye had already recovered!"

Lin Ran listened to the analysis and said, "Is this video okay? Isn't this what review is all about?"

He didn't think it was a big deal. There were already a group of people commenting on the barrage, and many viewers were praising Lin Ran's clear thinking in dealing with the gank.

It can only be said that there are differences in the audience. After all, Lin Ran is a person who has experienced the game on the court. He knows his specific operation ideas, which are different from the audience watching from a God's perspective.

He has done it himself in the professional arena, and the qualified coaching staff will naturally review it after the game.

Lin Ran's ward deception occupies nearly 3 minutes in the review video, but if it were a serious career review, it would probably only take two sentences.

After all, the professional players themselves could see clearly that King Ning would most likely know Lin Ran's trick during the intermission at the end of the second set.

The rest of the review video is the two tower jumping games between Lin Ran and Broiler in the second and third games.

The analysis was quite correct, but Lin Ran still felt that Gouba and Hongmi's review was more suitable for him. It was concise and clear, and the information provided was easy for him to understand and accept.

Seeing Lin Ran pick up another bun on the plate, Guo Hao fiddled with the tablet and found another video of Spongebob Shan Niruo.

"How about you look at this again?"

[Hard core interpretation of the new changes in versions 8.3 \u0026 8.4, who will dominate the LPL playoffs? 】

Lin Ran had nothing to do when he was free, so he thought it was just a pastime.

"The professional arena will usher in two major updates to the game. The content is quite complex and will surely have a considerable impact on the ecological environment in Summoner's Rift. Incidentally, it will also affect the status of each team."

The video blogger is still analyzing, "First of all, there is a major update to the mage equipment. The Book of Ghosts no longer provides cooldown reduction and mana, but has become an equipment that provides serious damage and magic penetration attributes..."

Lin Ran was a little concerned when he heard this. In fact, LPL version 8.4 was installed today, but because they were still playing version 8.2 yesterday, and today is a holiday, the team's meeting on version updates has not yet been held.

Even though the Chinese server client, which has been criticized for its update speed, has kept up with the progress, Lin Ran, like other professional players, has been adapting to the Korean server for some time.

During the game yesterday, Lin Ran almost bought equipment according to the new equipment plan in version 8.4. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly clicked the withdrawal button before he ran out of the spring.

Now the magic penetration property of Landry's Mask of Torment and Pain has been removed and turned into a BUFF that increases damage by entering combat mode.

New equipment [Magic Binding Orb] and [Twin Shadows] have been added to the canyon. The former provides oneself with explosive movement speed and magic power by accumulating spell casting charges; the latter is a pursuit and tracking functional prop, and the rune [ Glacier Amplification] There is a certain linkage.

The magic piercing staff, which was previously too cost-effective, has its magic power reduced by 10 points. Although the ice staff's magic power has increased, the slowdown value has not been adjusted back. It is estimated that it will be difficult to return to the commonly used equipment list of professional players.

It is worth noting that [Destroyer's Death Cap] has not only reduced the total equipment price by 200 gold coins, but also increased the additional bonus to magic power by 5%, which is definitely a major enhancement.

“The five stopwatch tower jumping system that YM pioneered has also been targeted,” SpongeBob Shan Niruo was still talking about, “Now the use time of [Perfect Timing] has been extended from 6 minutes to 10 minutes, and I haven’t practiced how to use it yet. Teams that have a stopwatch to achieve perfect tower resistance can take a break, because as expected, the sword will fall sooner or later."

Guo Hao was still muttering after hearing this, "The fist, which can kill a thousand swords, is weakened every day. It will be whittled down by whatever we use... If you don't know how to update it, don't update it!"

This trick that Redmi came up with after a year is really disgusting. Using a 5-stop watch with a small talent, you can complete two rounds of tower hopping without a line of soldiers.

Overcoming the tower in one round, adding 1,000 troops to the line with less people, and opening up 1K economy, as well as key resources such as dragons, are all profitable.

The weakening of the stopwatch was expected by everyone in YM, but the problem was that the fist was cut too fast.

Two days after YM used this move to punish EDG, the test server directly launched a stopwatch weakening patch.

Riot designers seem to be paying close attention to YM's games. Once they see what novel tricks they use, they just cut them off without even thinking about it.

"They are definitely going to stop us from winning three consecutive championships," Lin Ran stood up and took the plate to the kitchen sink. "We still have to be mentally prepared, otherwise we will suffer a loss sooner or later."

In a competitive game that regularly updates and changes versions, if a team wins the most valuable world championship for three consecutive years, it would be a naked humiliation to the version update team.

Version 8.4 is Chunli's last stab before resigning. He wants to continue to increase the difficulty of YM.

After Spongebob Shanniruo described the version update, he screened out the updates that may have an impact on the professional arena, and then interpreted them one by one.

"The hero Vampire will definitely shine in the new version. The new equipment Spellbinding Orb will provide him with the two most needed attributes - burst magic power and movement speed. Coupled with the enhancement of the hat, the Vampire will almost be upgraded to an almost BUG level. Strength of……"

What surprised Lin Ran was that his analysis of the version was well-founded and indeed convincing.

He collected this video and planned to come back and show it to Gou Ba.

…

"Pay attention to the changes in vision," Hongmi tapped the summoner's whiteboard with a marker to remind his team members, "Now that the green jungle knife and eye stone have all been removed, the jungler will not have the same invincibility as in the previous two seasons. The ability to control vision is solved, and the auxiliary eye stone function is classified into the auxiliary equipment when going out, which in disguise improves the cost-effectiveness of auxiliary equipment."

"This change has a more profound impact on the game environment than the change of mage equipment," Jiang Chenglu translated word for word. "Nowadays, most hard and protective supports choose [Sacred Shield]. The problem is that this equipment stacks The economy is very slow. After all, there is only one artillery truck among the three waves of soldiers, and the number of gold coins provided by melee soldiers is not much."

Riot Games is finally tired of the same green jungle knives in the professional arena. The designers believe that the current game is still not enjoyable enough.

It must be cut to make the fog of war in the Summoner's Rift even more bizarre and unpredictable, making every exploration of the grassy field of view costly.

After all, in the era of green jungle knives, the probability of exploring the grass with a face like Yuan Shao in e-sports is too low. With a green jungle knife and an auxiliary eye stone, and the two of them bring a real eye, that is, 8 eye positions exist in the canyon at the same time. among.

Together with the other three positions, it is easy for a whole team to place 15 eyes on the map at the same time.

But now the jungler suddenly loses three eyes, and their accessories were originally replaced by scanning, so the field of view layout of the jungle position can only rely on real eyes.

"This means that the field of view in the early stage of the map is very scarce. Everyone only has 5 yellow trinket eyes, which will be gone when used up. We can arrange tactics based on this..."

Time flies. After YM defeated SN and BLG, they will face another strong enemy-RNG!
