LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

Lin Ran originally thought that the LPL team was full of top players, and their strength was infinitely higher than that of him and Xiaotian. However, from the promotion and relegation matches to this MSI opener, something seemed not right.

The LPL teams are certainly one level better than the LSPL, but they are not invincible either.

Snake and QG are also teams promoted from the secondary league to the LPL. The two teams still maintain very strong competitiveness without changing team members.

Snake is in the middle of the league, while QG is even stronger. It won the runner-up in the LPL Summer Split last year. If the conflicts within the team hadn't escalated this spring, it would have been possible for them to go further.

Lin Ran watched the game from a God's perspective and found that the LPL team's vision layout and personal abilities were not perfect, and they also made many low-level mistakes.

QG and Snake can make a name for themselves in the LPL, which makes Lin Ran more confident.

After all, YM is considered the only team in this year's LSPL. It has not broken the high ground in 33 games, showing extraordinary dominance. In addition, its defeated team EDE has also entered the LPL. I think YM's results will not be too bad.

Everyone in YM watched the first day of MSI, and when they heard the roar of cheers from the crowd when Faker came on the stage, they were very excited, imagining that one day God would reward their hard work, and they would also be sought after by everyone.

Even Ning has been much more diligent in his ranking training these days, and has at least started practicing the new hero Jhin that was released three months ago.

In the MSI group stage, RNG took first place in the group with a record of 8-2, but was still defeated by the previous world champion SKT in the semi-finals.

At this point, the LPL has finally recognized the gap between itself and the world's top divisions. Last year's MSI championship was like a sweet dream, fleeting before it was immersed in it.

After the game, RNG's assistant and SSW's winning meritorious member mata took aim at Wu Xin, who was in the AD position at the time. During the interview, he bluntly said that if the AD is replaced, RNG will never stop in the top four of MSI.

The RNG management did not hesitate to introduce the S3S4 runner-up AD Uzi in an effort to make a breakthrough in this year's global finals.

This can also be called the hottest news in the mid-season transfer period.

After MSI ended, Riot Games’ mid-season version arrived.

Heroes such as Vampire, Malzahar, and Snake have been reworked. At the same time, equipment such as Tears of the Goddess and Lost Chapters have been modified, and two new pieces of equipment, Hextech Belt and GLP-800, have been added.

The wild area has undergone bigger changes. The four elemental dragons of water, earth, fire and wind have replaced the original dragons. Only three of the elemental dragons will appear in each game. Killing the four elemental dragons will provide players with more Powerful attributes.

After 35 minutes, the ancient dragon will occupy the Xiaolong Pit. Killing it will provide players with more powerful combat capabilities.

Xiaolong's changes have increased his presence in the lower half of the early game in disguise, making the line-switching strategy even more risky.

Riot officials are also fed up with the frequent lane changes in the arena. One after another, they are so busy that they come out to take over the team after 30 minutes. Professional players find it troublesome and the audience feels sleepy watching.

Emphasizing laning and enhancing the bloodiness of the game are Riot's recent changes.

On the other side, YM's expenses increased sharply after entering the LPL, including starting players, analysts, artists, coaches, managers, assistants, operations, chefs...

The team's current monthly salary expenditure is hundreds of thousands, plus rent and other miscellaneous expenses. PDD has spent almost all the money it earned from live broadcasts in the past two years, leaving only some investment projects on hand that cannot be realized for the time being.

The capital chain is about to break, and PDD cannot sit still. He is eager to seek external financial support.

Lin Ran also heard about this in the base these days, but he couldn't help much. Although his family had a lot of spare money, it was obviously not the same size as the LPL, a team that easily invested tens of millions of dollars.

YM's introduction of investment didn't come to an end until the start of the summer split. PDD asked his former professional IG team owner to get investment from a domestic sports goods retailer. The arrival of the investor finally eased PDD's financial pressure.

In mid-May, Lin Ran and Xiaotian were invited to shoot a promotional video for the LPL summer season, but they didn't appear much. After all, they were just newcomers to the LPL league.

Lin Ran used his unforgettable handsome face to get into a close-up shot. He took off the hood of his black hoodie and raised the corners of his lips slightly when facing the camera, revealing a disdainful smile.

Before the start of the summer season, this promotional video was first posted on the Internet. Although most people were attracted by the wet temptation of EDG jungler Gui Jiaoqi, a group of viewers still noticed Lin Ran.

After all, there are very few people who can raise the average appearance of the contestants in the promotional video to a higher level.

"Who is this? LPL also invites male models to shoot promotional videos?"

"If you're so handsome and don't want to act and become a star, why do you want to play e-sports?"

Many viewers don't know Lin Ran. They haven't watched Pangdudu's live broadcast and don't know the progress of the LSPL game.

"This is Ran Bao, the mid laner of the Pang Du Du team. He is very strong."

"One thing I have to say is that the level of magic weapon is indeed high, so it is not a big problem to defeat the little tiger."

"Can you beat Xiaohu? He single-handedly killed faker at MSI this year."

"Nowadays, newcomers ask for publicity before becoming famous? It really makes me laugh to death. Don't be relegated after being taught in LPL for one summer."

"Before, there was JKL, who was even more outrageous than this ran. He started bragging before he even came on the field. He was like a navy AD. I'm afraid he won't even be able to play in the LPL by then."

JKL is also a high-scoring player. Last year, he competed with Lin Ran for the first place in the national server. The electric king who specializes in killing Draven with one hand was trembling.

When YM established its youth training team last month, Lin Ran recommended this youngster to PDD. PDD went to Huanggang in person, and it was only through hard work that JKL gave up the idea of ​​going to his old club IG and came to the YM base with him.

Now one of the two is called the mid laner of the navy, and the other is called the AD of the navy. They have an inexplicable fate.

On May 26, the LPL Summer Split kicked off. As a new force that has been in the spotlight recently, YM’s first game was officially scheduled by the LPL at 7 pm on the opening day, against the veteran team WE.

The night before the game, after the coach explained the tactics, the manager Hao Ge stood up to cheer for the players.

"There is no need to be afraid tomorrow. The one who cannot afford to lose is WE! They are the third place in the spring split. We are just a new team that just came out of LSPL. It is normal to lose!"

"Don't think that we will continue to win continuously. The LPL is different from the minor leagues. Be prepared for losses, play calmly and show your strength!"

At noon the next day, Lin Ran and his teammates got on the bus and headed to the competition venue, the Hongqiao Performing Arts Center.

It has to be said that the LPL competition venues are completely different from those in the secondary leagues.

There are two LED boards erected on both sides of the security check channel, which are dedicated to playing game highlights and promotional videos. Next to the LED boards, there is also a red and blue defense tower model in Summoner's Rift.

Further inside is the team support area. There are two BO3 games every day. The event staff will prepare support items for the four teams in advance, and the audience can collect the gifts on their own.

After passing by the Dalongkeng model, Lin Ran finally saw the competition stage.

There are hundreds of seats here, each with LPL embroidery patterns on them, and the flags of the 12 participating teams are hung on the surrounding walls, with spotlights lingering on them.
