LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

“Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2018 LPL Spring Split, this is Super Brand Square!”

At 7 o'clock on Saturday night, the LPL venue was packed with people on the 9th floor of Super Brand Plaza. The audience waved the support items they received from the club staff and cheered for the team they supported. The momentum was huge.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast rooms of major events has repeatedly exceeded season highs. Although the game has not yet started, the audience is very active. The barrage sent in the chat channel is brushed away the next moment, and the specific content cannot be clearly seen at all.

The appeal of quality primetime games can only be described as terrifying.

RNG's current performance is not as good as IG, but in terms of the number of fans, they are only inferior to YM in the entire league.

The concept of the all-China class plus Uzi has really made RNG management understand. The marketing level is obvious to all, and the results are already good, so the rapid expansion of the number of fans is reasonable.

"How can I put this competition between the two sides..." Miller paused, then looked at his partner, "It is indeed more important for RNG."

The director also gave a chart of the results of both sides at this time.

RNG currently has 7 wins and 4 losses, and 17 wins and 10 losses in small games; YM has 11 wins and 0 losses, and 22 wins and 3 losses in small games.

"Yes," Wawa nodded matter-of-factly, "After YM defeated IG 2:1, they also played 3 full games against SN and BLG, but this did not affect their dominance in the group."

Miller echoed, "That's true. The current team record gaps in the Eastern Division are very obvious..."

In the Eastern Division, YM undoubtedly ranks first. After that, EDG and TOP both have 7 wins. The difference of 4 major wins is particularly exaggerated when the season is about to reach the end.

As long as YM doesn't play tricks, they can basically win the first place in the Eastern Division.

In the Western Division, IG currently ranks first with 10 wins and 1 loss. They only lost one game to YM, and the rest were overwhelming victories; the second place was beyond the expectations of many viewers before the start of the game.

RW.

The team led by Dean Doinb shined with dazzling light this year. There was a wonderful chemical reaction between them. Everyone performed their duties with the middle and lower teams as the core. They successfully ranked second in the division with a record of 9 wins and 2 losses. .

RNG set off a wave of winning streak after Uzi's return, improving their record from 2-3 to 7-4, and their ranking climbed all the way to third in the division.

They proved one thing to all the viewers - sometimes the team's problems can really be solved by an ADC.

But this result obviously cannot satisfy RNG. With the current league competition system, the third place in the playoff division will play one more BO5 than the second place.

Every time a BO5 is played, more tactics will be exposed, and there will be more chances of failure.

After all, there is no such thing as a playoff game these days. The error tolerance rate of playoff teams is extremely low. If they lose, they lose, and the entire spring's efforts will be in vain.

"If RNG wants to compete for the second position in the group, this game to challenge YM is their whetstone!"

In the eyes of most people, YM's recent performance is not as hot as it was a year ago. If they showed resilience when they faced IG before, allowing one to chase two, then their subsequent performance against SN and BLG seemed a bit of a struggle. .

Three consecutive BO3 games, all of which were one to two, really taught YM fans a good lesson - every time they opened the live broadcast room, they would first watch their home team lose a game, and then jump repeatedly on the edge of defeat, which directly increased the excitement. Full, no longer the invincible posture of last year's wild victory.

The audience feels that Riot's continuous enhancement of teleportation and weakening of stopwatch has indeed affected YM's strength in the new version to a certain extent. Moreover, they have also started Lin Weixiang in the past two weeks, so the level of cooperation is definitely different from before.

Lin Weixiang's performance in the past two weeks can only be described in four words.

Unpredictable.

Sometimes he can poke his nose into the grass and make a mistake, causing him to hit two basic attacks and be counter-killed; sometimes he can be as stable as if he is possessed by a bang, and the entire audience will not die at once and do crazy output.

Before the YM game started, no one knew whether the big eyebrow in this game was a C or a throw. Even the players on the field and the coach Hongmi in the backstage couldn't figure out the situation. Lin Weixiang, known as Schrödinger.

Last night, the YM official blog announced the lineup, and Jack returned to the starting lineup, which made many people look forward to this game.

After all, there are several major experience books in the e-sports forum. Regardless of today's victory or defeat, there will definitely be endless fishing and meeting posts, and everyone will have enough experience.

Players from both teams were already ready in their respective seats. Shi Senming smiled and greeted his old teammates in the chat channel.

[Jack Love, later you use Draven and I will use Thresh, and we will re-engrave a wave of S6 skins]

[In the beginning, we stand face to face in the river with B returning to the city. These two skins also have the linkage of the returning action. What do you think? 】

Liu Qingsong and Uzi were adjusting the seat height. When they saw this sentence, they immediately reached out and touched the top of their heads. They always felt that the color was not right.

After waiting for two weeks, Jack finally succeeded in regaining the position of YM prince. He twisted his neck, tilted the corner of his mouth to the keyboard, and typed at the speed of light.

【Who are you? Oh, this is Brother Ming, I didn’t recognize him, I’ve never seen you before! 】

Shi Senming didn't like him either. It only took five seconds for the two of them to change the atmosphere from reminiscing about past championship glory to watching the current quarrel on the street.

"Referee, referee," Lin Ran couldn't stand it anymore, "If I report it, can I take these two people down and suspend them?"

The Garlic Bastard immediately applauded, "Okay!"

"Anyway, we have a substitute Edisi, but RNG doesn't have a substitute support. They can't let their attitude come up to support, right?"

The female referee came over to take a look at the chat content in the custom room. She pondered for two seconds before saying:

"It's useless even if you report it...it's not illegal at all."

In her opinion, the words used in the quarrel between Jack and Shi Senming were quite childish. It is estimated that elementary school students are better at quarreling than them.

YMJackeylove: [I can hug my thighs and mix my skin in YM, can you do that? 】

RNGMing: [I hugged my thigh and still screamed. I really didn’t expect it. If I were you, I wouldn’t be able to keep such shame]

Jack answered confidently: [What's wrong with hugging your thighs? Isn’t there Uzi next to you? Why don’t you hug me? Are you implying that Uzi is not good? 】

[This year there will be a Xia Luo champion skin. As a father, I will give one to my son. You’re welcome]

This is neither an insult nor a personal attack, so how can I be punished?

Should Jack ‘give his son a set of skins as a father’, or ‘Uzi can’t do it’?

If this chat record is released, fans of the two families will probably yell at them to hurry up. They also like to see this.

"Are you ready?" The referee couldn't stand it anymore. After confirming the process with the director, he shouted to the players.

"Okay, okay," Lin Ran tidied up Nuan Baobao with an excited look on his face, "Brotherhood, let's go!"

A crisp sound kicked off the game!

"In this game, YM got the priority to choose the side. They chose the blue side for themselves, and they came up and blocked Xia first!"

Now that all the major ADCs have been cut, Xialuo and his wife have returned to the professional arena again, and together they are at the top of the bottom lane food chain, possessing good strength from the laning stage to the team battle. .

If it had been last year, Ni Yuxia's ban position could have been saved. After all, it was Uzi from S7, and she knew everything.

But Uzi, who returned from injury this year, seems to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. After a period of practice, Xia became his unique hero.

As long as Uzi gets Xayah in the next year's game, RNG will always win the game. So far, his Xayah has not lost in the 2018 LPL Spring Split, which is simply outrageous.

"RNG chose to ban Qinggang Shadow," Miller said, approving of this ban choice. "Camille also escaped the designer's weakening sword technique. It was not affected in versions 8.3 and 8.4, and now it has gradually become a frequent player in the top lane. "

"And in YM, the Qinggang Shadow can swing up and down," Wawa added, "After all, Brother Ran's Qinggang Shadow is a unique skill."

For the second ban position, Redmi gave it to Braum, while Heart blocked the prince.

"YM banned the Tauren Chief, and the other side, RNG, banned Olaf!"

Hongmi, who was wearing a white shirt, was pacing behind the players' bench and jotting down two notes in his notebook with a black pen.

"Take Thresh first," he discussed with the team members. "They should take... Verus and Pig Girl. Then we will take vampires and trolls as the second and third choices. This can limit the opponent's top laner. What do you think? Sample?"

Due to the rise of development-oriented team battle heroes such as Vampire Yellow Chicken, the ecological environment of the top laner and jungler has also changed.

Since it was time to hit the ground running, the four stable and controlled front row tanks of Thain, Ornn, Big Bug and Shen began to dominate the top lane again. As a result, top lane vampires who could bully short-handed players appeared on the scene.

At the same time, the dominance of top lane tanks marks the beginning of the popularity of the counter-tactic 4-1 point push. After all, single-band heroes like Gnarl Green Steel Shadow are specialized in involving disgusting tanks.

In terms of junglers, the dominance of pig girls and princes has not declined, and the strong man Olaf has begun to appear again in the early stage, causing the Troll King, a character who can restrain both Olaf and tanks, to enter the professional stage.

The baptism of two versions is enough for popular heroes in the professional arena to shuffle their cards.

None of the YM players had any objections. What Redmi gave them were high-quality choices in their respective hero pools that fit the version.

"Here we first select Thresh for Liu Qingsong, a support hero who is very capable of coordinating with his teammates," Miller said. "YM is still doing the same old thing, with a hard support to control and coordinate with the mid laner and jungler to set the pace. "

"RNG here... has captured the pig girl favored by Verus and Xiangguo!"

Seeing that the opponent's choice was exactly as Hongmi predicted, the YM players looked as normal as usual.

After working with top coaches for three months, Lin Ran and others have long been accustomed to this. Usually doing BP is like seeing through the opponent's trump card, there is no suspense at all.

It's numb.

Lin Ran and Garlic Bastard took down the vampires and trolls as planned.

RNG hesitated for a long time in the final selection of the first round. Heart wanted to get a tank for Letme, but was afraid that YM would push the vampire to the top.

If you fight vampires in the front row of tanks, you will be ravaged by others, unable to stop your growth; in team battles, you will have to take a bite of the troll's ultimate move [Power Is Supremacy], and then your health and double resistance will drop off a cliff, but it will be done to YM. Wedding dress.

YM clearly told RNG in the first three games: If you dare to choose a tank top laner, my vampire top laner will be paired with a troll jungler. From the laning to the team battle, you will be completely crushed to death. In this round, you will be treated as a letme. exist.

Heart scratched his head with a worried look on his face. He felt uncomfortable because of the red rice.

"Take Shen first," he finally came up with a solution during the BP countdown stage. "Let's also shake the top laner and support."

Nowadays, careful support is also considered popular. First, it can swing with the top laner, and it is flexible and adaptable; second, it has control and support, which can be regarded as meeting the requirements of the support position.

The disadvantage of this hero is that it is not very flexible and can easily be walked around by soft assistants like Fengnu Lulu. However, with the weakening of Incense Burner, it will be difficult for these soft assistants to appear in the professional arena.

In the second round of BP, Heart chose to ban Jack's Draven and Policewoman, while Redmi banned Zoe and Ryze, two mid laners who can restrain vampires in the lane.

"It seems that this vampire hand is for Brother Ran..." Miller thought for a while and felt that his guess was more reliable. After all, YM spent a lot of money on banning in the second round.

But he didn't expect that Redmi was still playing a blind trick. Next, let's see what RNG would do in the fourth pick to respond, allowing the vampires to put enough pressure on their opponents through swings.

As long as both the middle and upper lines have advantages along the way, and the strength gap between the jungler and the pig girl is different, no matter how you calculate the upper half of YM, there will be no solution.

As for the bottom lane, just resist the pressure. When Redmi played RNG, they didn't plan to support Jack. The game ended in 20 minutes. Uzi was not yet formed at this time. How to fight against the three big dads of YM in the upper, middle and jungle?

Heart thought for a long time and decided to first get Gnar for top laner Letme, a hero who can not only be responsible for soloing but also take on certain frontline tasks in mid- to late-game team battles.

"Choose Gnar...then RNG's Shen hand has already been confirmed to be used to support Xiao Ming," Watanabe thought for a moment, "Then it depends on how YM decides on the lineup. It is still difficult for vampires to play Gnar."

Redmi is prepared for Gnar. After all, the Letme hero is easy to guess. If you don’t want to choose a sheep in this game, then the only three-legged cat Gnar is left.

"Take Kennen," he patted the Xiba man on the shoulder, "Wait until the opponent's lineup is revealed, and then decide whether to use AD or AP."

But no matter how he plays, Kennen can suppress Gnar in the early matchup.

Jin Gong's current personal ability is not as good as that of TheShy, but there is no problem in playing a top laner of Letme's level.

Then Hongmi gave Jack a big mouth in the last choice, and it was not bad to cooperate with Thresh on the bottom lane.

The choice was once again given to RNG. Head coach Heart touched his forehead with his hand. He didn't know what to use for his last choice.

Zoy Ryze is gone, and the remaining Kassadin who can fight vampires is not suitable for the RNG system...

"Yellow chicken mouth." The account owner thought for a while and found a pretty good character in his hero pool.

"...Okay." Heart thought for a long time and finally nodded through gritted teeth.

"Czar!" Miller was not surprised when he saw RNG's choice. After all, there were very few options left for account cancellation. "In this way, RNG is a bit strong in a head-on battle."

The partner doll looked at the lineups of both sides.

Blue square YM: top laner Kennen, jungle troll, mid laner vampire, bottom lane Big Mouth + Thresh.

Red side RNG: top laner Gnar, fighting wild boar girl, mid laner Tsar, bottom lane Verus + Shen.

"That's true..." He also thinks Miller is right. "I think it's better for Kennen to be AD in this game, at least to ensure that he can crush Gnar with his single belt in the mid-to-late game."

Miller continued the lineup analysis, "The only shortcoming of RNG is that the first half is too weak in the early and mid-term. Xiangguo must avoid Xiaotian in this round. If it gets reckless, something may happen."

In the packed stands, supporters of both teams were already making noise with their props, eagerly looking forward to the showdown!

It was the weekend, and Su Cheng, who rarely found free time to watch the game, sat in the front row and, like other spectators, vigorously waved the player support banner in his hand.

But what she was holding was a special style. Lin Ran signed it and then specially drew a delicate little orange as a mark above the cursive characters.

"How did you get that signature?" The college roommate who came to watch the game also noticed that Su Cheng's support banner was different. After asking this question, she suddenly remembered that she, a classmate who usually does not live in the dormitory, I have a boyfriend who is an e-sports star.

But it was too late for the words to come out. Su Cheng was waiting for this sentence.

She had a look on her face, "...I want to sell you something, but I can't buy it! How hateful do you think it is?"

The roommate let Su Cheng show off her boyfriend and grabbed Su Cheng's slender arm.

"I just want a signed version of Jin Gong's banner, can you help me?"

The roommate is petite and has a childish face. He looks quite cute when he twists his body and acts coquettishly.

Su Cheng sighed inwardly. If she twisted her figure in front of Lin Ran, she would only look weird and not cute at all.

But thinking about it carefully, Lin Ran seemed to have praised her for her twisting appearance, but that was a special situation and could not be counted...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tighten her fingers, and Lin Ran's face wrinkled on the banner.

"Okay, okay, let me ask for you." Su Cheng responded with red ears. She had given Jin Gong's signed photo to her roommate before, but now it seems that she has to trouble the Xiba people again.

"YM come on!" The Summoner's Rift came, and the noise increased again, resounding like thunder throughout the audience!

Lin Ran used Phase Rush as his main system in this game. His minor runes were [Ultimate Skill Cap] to reduce the cooldown of his ultimate move, Transcendence and Water Walking, and his secondary systems were minion dematerializer and astral insight.

This set of runes will reduce the cooldown by 15% when Lin Ran is level 10, which is very suitable for vampires who rely heavily on CD attributes.

The opposing runes are also regular runes. The arcane comet and the precision secondary system are probably the standard runes of calmness and joy.

"Will there be a fight in the early stage?" Lin Ran asked Xiaotian for his opinion. After receiving a positive reply, he bought Dolan Shield and potion, and left the spring and walked towards the river.

In this game, he brought Ignite instead of Teleport, which made the timing requirements for returning to the city very demanding. Dolan Shield can deal with the Comet Tsar while also giving him a certain amount of recovery power, which is pretty good except for the lack of spell power.

"Both sides took regular level 1 positions and defended their own jungle areas in a long snake formation along the river." Miller was not surprised by the decision-making of both sides.

There is no way, the level 1 regiment lineups of the two teams are equally bad. Level 1 vampires and level 1 czars are the heroes with the worst combat effectiveness among the medium units. They have no output and no control, and their strength is comparable to that of artillery soldiers.

In this case, no one wants to fight, so it is better to develop and open the jungle normally.

"Xiangguo Zhumei opened blue in the lower half of the area, and like Xiaotian, she brushed upwards. It seems that the junglers on both sides can't start out of position in the early stage, and there will definitely be a collision!"

When Lin Ran went online, he used the Oil Lord to attack the minions. Anyway, the level 1 Czar was as weak as him.

Vampire vs. Tsar, there is no way to tell who has the advantage in this matchup.

The Czar has the two advantages of fast lane push and strong consumption ability, and controls the lane most of the time in the early stage; while the Vampire is more proactive in the mid-to-late stage, and has stronger one-on-one explosive power and battery life than the Czar.

Let's go 50-50.

Guanhu also knew that he had to seize the line advantage and tried to move forward to force Lin Ran back.

Lin Ran was right. He brought the Dolan Shield just to ensure battery life. Who is afraid of whom?

Also taking a step towards closing the account.

Come here!

Naturally, Midhu would not give up this opportunity to consume. He raised his sand soldiers and stabbed Lin Ran.

The arcane comet was triggered, and the dark blue star went straight to the vampire's feet.

However, without slowing down and other restrictive skills, the hit rate of the comet could not be guaranteed. Lin Ran continued to move forward, avoiding the comet while closing the distance.

In order to stab Lin Ran, the canceled Tsar was forced to pause on the spot for a moment, and now he was directly pulled into the range of his normal attack.

A+Q [Blood Conversion], cut off one bar of blood from the Tsar!

The three long-range soldiers immediately turned their firepower and aimed at Lin Ran. With the help of small soldiers, they used the sand soldiers to poke him again.

But something went wrong with this poke.

Lin Ran fired another basic attack, successfully triggered Phase Rush, and accelerated forward in pursuit!

"Brother Ran, what are you doing?" The screams spread throughout the venue through the sound effects, "Does he have to fight so fiercely at level one?"

Xiaohu was scared.

He used teleportation in this game. If he turned around and fought with Lin Ran, there was basically no chance of winning.

At this time, he quickly summoned another sand soldier to stab him, and Lin Ran responded with a basic attack and immediately retreated using the acceleration effect of phase dash.

In this round of exchanges, Lin Ran suffered three jabs and two rounds of concentrated fire from long-range minions, but he responded with three basic attacks and a Q.

In the end, the amount of blood lost by both sides was almost the same, but Xiaohu brought Dolan Ring, which had no life recovery effect, while Lin Ran brought Dolan Shield.

In addition, he is a vampire. As the level of Q [Blood Conversion] increases later, his blood volume will slowly recover.

Overall, Mead Tiger is a bit of a loser.

The person who canceled the account also knew that he had made a mistake in the blood exchange just now, so he knocked down a bottle of blood medicine and hid behind him.

He had used all the two sand soldiers he had stored just now, and now he could only wait for the sand soldiers to be recharged.

But in this way, he completely lost the initiative in the military line. Lin Ran stood on the side of the melee soldiers and firmly blocked the pass.

Seeing that the progress bar under Lin Ran's health bar had reached halfway, Xiaohu also knew that this man's Q skill had improved.

Previously, due to Lin Ran's positioning at the front when changing blood, he attracted two waves of hatred from long-range soldiers, while the YM soldiers were still attacking the RNG line as usual.

This caused RNG's three melee soldiers to become disabled first.

Xiaohu was full of expectations. In his opinion, the vampire's two basic attacks followed by his Q would be enough to take down all three minions with residual health.

The vampire on the screen fired one basic attack and another!

Two bins were taken away by him.

The third melee soldier with residual blood had been hit by the minion's light bullet and turned into a corpse and fell in the mud in the middle.

What about Q? Xiaohu was furious.

Why are you holding Q? No last hit? If Uzi saw you missing the knife like this, your face would turn red with anger!

At this time, he saw that YM's three melee soldiers were about to lose their health, so he could only step forward to replenish the troops, but Lin Ran hit him with another AQ!

After losing another 100 blood, Midhu, whose accent has been somewhat assimilated by Casa recently, couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Cry Yao, what are you going to do with the level 1 pressure being so fierce?

Is there any reason for you, a vampire, to play games like this?

But he didn't dare to fight back. After all, he only had one sand soldier in his hand, and three melee soldiers with residual health were more valuable.

He stood up and put the three soldiers into his pockets, then took another basic attack from the vampire.

When Xiangguo cuts the screen, he sees Lin Ran beating Xiaohu!

"I can't move until I'm at level three. Don't be so aggressive when exchanging blood. Be more steady." He looked at the Czar's remaining health, which was a little over 60%, and couldn't help but say something.

"I know, I know..." Xiaohu took a deep breath and tried to calm down the tension rising in his heart.

Lin Ran, a vampire who didn't play by the rules, made him very uncomfortable.

9 seconds later, Lin Ran's skill improved again, this time it was the scarlet sprint version of the enhanced Q with extra damage and recovery effects!

Xiaohu didn't dare to fight head-on, so he could only retreat backwards again.

Lin Ran was stuck at the front, and when the scarlet sprint effect was about to disappear, he took a sip at the long-range soldier.

This time, the blood volume almost returned to about 80%, and Xiaohu's face turned green.

If he keeps changing like this, two more blood bottles won't be enough!

But the good news is that he can take advantage of Lin Ran's skill vacuum to seize a favorable position and force Lin Ran to retreat.

But that's all. The Tsar's Level 1 deterrence is very average.

The two sides developed smoothly until the second wave of troops arrived, and Lin Ran stepped forward with AQ to grab second place.

This time, he didn't give up anymore. He set up a sand soldier and started poking at the soldiers.

Both sides reached level 2 at almost the same time.

"Xiaohu learns Q [Sand Attack] in seconds and summons sand soldiers Q to consume the vampires!"

The slowing effect allowed the Arcane Comet to successfully hit, and Lin Ran's blood volume instantly dropped by one level!

But Lin Ran refused to retreat but moved forward, taking another step forward!

Before he could figure out what this meant, a thick pillar suddenly emerged from the ground beneath his feet and pushed him half forward!

"Xiaotian's level 2 learning pillar comes directly to the target. If you put on the slow speed, you will beat Xiaohu!"

Lin Ran charged up E [Tide of Blood], and Xiaohu looked at the troll rushing towards him with a big stick. In order to maintain his condition, he could only hand over Flash!

"Come and protect me, they are going to push the lane into the wild area!" Midhu quickly waved.

But in the end, they were a step too late. Lin Ran and Xiaotian rushed to push off the second wave of soldiers before the arrival of the incense pot, and plunged into the upper half of the RNG wild area!
