LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

The sound of rain fell outside the window, and the raindrops hit the window frame, making a continuous muffled sound.

Lin Ran closed the half-opened window until there was only a gap left to prevent the rain from entering the house.

However, the evening breeze with a bit of coldness blew in, dispersing all the sluggish atmosphere in the room.

It was replaced by fresh air filled with moisture.

Lin Ran cleaned the bed that had been messed up before.

Now there is the sound of rain outside the window, and another rain is falling in the bathroom of the master bedroom, which makes people daydream and full of temptation.

The phone on the bedside table vibrated twice, with new messages coming in.

Lin Ran leaned on the bed to see which bastard was disturbing someone's dreams late at night.

Unexpectedly, this is actually a bank message.

Your ICBC card with the last number 7777 earned 12,202,200.77 yuan on May 3rd (2016 champion skin share).

Lin Ran was a little confused. He carefully counted how much this income was.

1220W RMB!

He repeatedly made sure the numbers were correct and took a deep breath.

This was the first time for Lin Ran to see such a large amount of income.

His salary and live broadcast platform income combined are only a lot more than this number after tax every year, but they are all paid on a monthly basis, which is far less than the shock that this 8-digit sum of money brings to him.

The sound of rain stopped in the bathroom, and Su Cheng opened the door and walked out wearing a white bath towel.

"What's wrong?" She had a ball on the top of her head. She took off her shower cap and let her shoulder-length hair fall down. Seeing Lin Ran's surprised look, she quickly asked with concern.

"Chengzi... our family is rich." Lin Ran shook his cell phone.

Su Cheng thought Lin Ran was playing another prank, so she picked up a piece of orange from the table and stuffed it into her mouth, then bowed slightly to look at her boyfriend's phone.

She took a look.

Another glance.

Su Cheng's face was filled with joy, "So many?"

"It's okay," Lin Ran, who had digested the shock when he first saw the income, stared at his girlfriend's face, trying to find the reaction he wanted on her face, "it's only over 10 million."

However, after Su Cheng's brief moment of joy, her expression calmed down and she looked no different from usual.

Although she was not "not interested in money" as someone said, she could not be called a money-obsessed person.

She threw the orange peel into the trash can as usual, then leaned on the bed and read the news on her phone.

"What do you think would be a better use of this money?" Lin Ran was not satisfied with his girlfriend's performance and wanted to continue discussing this topic in depth.

"How did I know?" Su Cheng rolled his eyes at him, "Just wait until tomorrow and ask the elders."

"That's right." Lin Ran's mortgage on that villa has not yet been paid off. When he got the money, he originally wanted to pay off the mortgage quickly, but then he thought about it and felt that it would be a loss to just fill the mortgage with working capital like this.

He can completely afford the mortgage interest of about 5% a year. If he finds a fund bond with a higher yield than the mortgage, the rest will be in vain.

But Lin Ran didn't understand this and had to find professionals to deal with it.

He turned off the desk lamp on his side and huddled into the bed, pulling Su Cheng into his arms.

"Be more honest," Su Cheng slapped his paws off, "otherwise I have to take a shower."

Washing your hair frequently is quite harmful. She has already washed it twice today, and she was forced to wear a shower cap just now, otherwise her hair would get wet again.

"I know, I know," Lin Ran agreed, "I just want to sleep with you in my arms."

Warm nephrite, the citrus aroma on Su Cheng's body is fascinating.

He thinks it's very romantic for couples to sleep with their arms around each other.

When he woke up the next morning, he realized how wrong he had been.

"Hiss..." Lin Ran rubbed his arm desperately, but there was no feeling from the arm all the way down to his fingers.

Su Cheng, who was brushing his teeth at the side, laughed mercilessly, with toothpaste foam overflowing to his mouth.

"You deserve it, Lin Ran!"

Lin Ran frowned and stood beside her. Now he couldn't even pick up the toothbrush with his right hand, as if he had been hit by Shixiang Ruanjin Powder.

Seeing his appearance, Su Cheng finally couldn't bear it. After rinsing her mouth, she put the tooth cup back to its original position, dipped it in some warm water, and then squeezed on the toothpaste.

"Open your mouth, ah..."

Lin Ran was very surprised.

Is there such a good thing?

He swallowed the words that he could use his left hand and opened his mouth to enjoy the service of brushing teeth and washing face provided by his girlfriend.

When Su Cheng patted the toner on her boyfriend's face, she stood up.

"I'm going down to buy breakfast. What do you want to eat, steamed buns?" Su Cheng stood at the door and put on casual clothes, put on her sneakers and prepared to go downstairs.

"Let's have steamed buns and tofu pudding." Lin Ran leaned on the sofa and kept rubbing his right hand, "Is it salty?"

"Shanghai tofu pudding isn't sweet, right?" Su Cheng ran downstairs with her cell phone in hand.

When Su Cheng left the room, he opened his phone with one hand and took a look at the time to confirm that Lin Ming and Dong Lin had already gotten up and had not gone to work yet, ready to ask about financial management.

【1200W? 】

Lin Mingdong did not answer Lin Ran's question immediately, but confirmed the income sharing again.

Lin Ran directly took a screenshot of his income and sent it to Lin Mingdong, who paused for a while and then actually sent a like emoticon of Teemo from League of Legends.

This expression left him speechless.

[Dad, that’s not how this like picture is used...]

Lin Mingdong was very puzzled, [Why? I often use it when I watch you play. Doesn’t it mean ‘you played well’? 】

Lin Ran scratched his head with his left hand, not knowing how to explain the meaning of this expression to him.

[This expression is a bit like a sarcastic expression. It’s not just a like. Do you understand what I mean? 】

Lin Mingdong didn't reply for a long time.

Lin Ran took a breath and thought of a possibility.

[Dad, you wouldn’t have sent this like emoticon to your subordinates, would you? 】

Lin Mingdong responded to the message very quickly this time, [How is that possible? I have a meeting later, time is tight, let's talk about financial management. 】

When Lin Ran saw this WeChat message, he was sure that something happened to his father.

He could imagine the confused expressions of subordinate employees after they submitted the design and received a thumbs up from Lin Mingdong.

It's fine if you don't play in the league, but what if someone happens to play?

However, since Lin Mingdong didn't admit it, he naturally wouldn't expose it and listened quietly to his father's talk about financial management.

In the end, Lin Ran kept 10% of the bonus, which was 1.2 million, to cover daily expenses - this money was mainly used to pay off the mortgage and rent a house.

The remaining money is invested in fund securities, trusts and insurance. Classified investments put eggs in different baskets. It doesn't matter how much money you make, as long as you can beat the inflation rate.

…

After returning to the base after the May Day holiday, the first thing Lin Ran did when meeting his teammates was to discuss the use of the champion skin bonus share.

Everyone’s salary is paid monthly. Not only have they never seen such a huge amount of money, but even their parents and elders find this amount astonishing.

The common situation is to buy a house or store and save it, and use the remaining money to buy some stable financial products.

Their consumption concept is quite simple. At most, they can buy a few sets of luxury clothes, and most of the money can be saved, which is incomparable with those who insist on supporting Ferraris like Death Announcement.

"You guys are too stable," Lin Weixiang hurriedly expressed his opinion after hearing their investment situation, "When I get the money from the champion skin, I will definitely start a company!"

"No, what will you do if you lose money?" Tear the wound mocked, "You can't even understand arithmetic, and you still open a company?"

"Do you know what a professional manager is?" Lin Weixiang was unconvinced, "You have invested money but you don't have to take care of the company's affairs every day."

The big eyebrows, the flat mouth, and the big moves are all vicious words that he came up with after a vacation.

"That's right. You, Hengyang Grandet, will probably only buy facial masks when you get the money, right?"

Liu Qingsong twitched his brows and immediately took action, wanting to teach Lin Weixiang a lesson.

But when it comes to hands-on ability, Lin Weixiang is not a coward. Although his limbs are uncoordinated, he is over 1.8 meters tall and can knead Liu Qingsong at will without any problem.

"Stop fighting!" As soon as Gou Ba walked into the training room, he saw that there was a fight between No-brained and Unhappy, and he quickly stepped forward to stop them in a straight and round tone.

"What are you doing?" Guo Hao's arrival successfully stopped the two of them.

He stood in the center of the training room, cleared his throat and said, "Just in case, I keep the visa, passport and air tickets with me, and I will give them to you when we get to the airport."

"Our first stop is Berlin. The Redmi coach will depart from South Korea and meet us there." Guo Hao posted the schedule after the vacation on the whiteboard. "The daily training matches will be supervised by Gou Ba on the spot. , Redmi will conduct a remote review..."

"I have a question," Lin Ran raised his hand, "Who will we play in the training match?"

Most teams are still on vacation. Of course, those teams that did not make it to the playoffs and took a vacation early to fish have now regrouped to prepare for the summer split.

But YM doesn't like teams of that level. Playing training matches with them might lower their own strength.

"You can't play against KZ every day, right?" Jack joked with a smile, "You haven't even played MSI yet, but you have to blow up all your cards first?"

"There's no way," Gou Ba didn't want to do this. "Teams like RNG and IG will have to wait a week before they take leave. By then we'll all go to Berlin."

The championship teams from Japan, Vietnam and other competition regions that are relatively close to them have to participate in the qualifying rounds. When YM was on vacation the past two days, these wild card divisions had already arrived in Berlin to start preparations.

The physical delay between the two places is too high, and it is impossible to schedule a training match.

After much deliberation, the only choice is KZ.

Neither party was happy with the arrangement.

Because they both regard each other as their biggest rivals in this mid-season championship, and frequent training matches will expose their skills and tactics and give the opposing coaching staff room to study and develop.

The result is that everyone has a very tacit understanding of using outdated lineups and old tactics from the playoffs, or practicing some troublesome swing lineups, or not showing all their cards.

During this period, Lin Ran also successfully passed subjects three and four, and successfully obtained his driver's license. From now on, he can drive openly on the road.

BMW China immediately sent out congratulations on Weibo, and also posted a photo of Lin Ran and its flagship model M760Li xDrive V12.

Caption: Look at our new drivers who got their driver’s licenses!

YM’s official blog responded with a string of love messages.

The comment section below exploded.

【This car is so handsome! 】

[What, isn’t he handsome? 】

[The donor is so generous, giving away a car worth two hundred dollars as a gift? 】

[It’s so outrageous, I’m so sour, I’m so sour, I’m so sour]

Two days after picking up the car, and before Lin Ran could get used to his steering wheel, he embarked on a journey to Berlin, Germany.

The group took a group photo with the team flag unfurled at Pudong International Airport, boarded the plane, and began the 14-hour long flight.

This was simply a torture. Lin Ran had no place to put his long legs, and he felt extremely uncomfortable while taking a nap.

It has to be said that the Shiba Inu's advantage has finally come to light. He can sleep curled up, which is much more comfortable than Lin Ran's position.

But sitting for 14 consecutive hours is unbearable for normal people. Everyone who got off the plane was exhausted and just wanted to go to the hotel to check in and have a good sleep.

Lin Ran entered the room and took advantage of Xiaotian to take a shower to report that he was safe with his father and Su Cheng.

However, judging from the time, it should be late at night in China. They were probably both resting, and Lin Ran didn't expect to get any reply.

The phone vibrated twice.

Lin Ran glanced at it and found that it was a message from his father.

[Received, take a good rest to adjust to the jet lag. If necessary, taking some melatonin will also help with sleep; pay attention to your diet. Although German elbow sausage is delicious, it needs to be moderate, as it is easy to gain weight.

Also: Rye bread tastes good as breakfast, you can try it. 】

Lin Ran was very surprised when he received this news. He checked the time to make sure that he had calculated it correctly, and then typed: [It's two o'clock in the morning in China, are you still awake? 】

[While working overtime, the project will be implemented soon. 】Lin Mingdong responded quickly.

Although Lin Ran knew that his father's company worked hard overtime, he didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

He typed two lines, but felt it was inappropriate, so he deleted most of it and added a little more.

I spent three or four minutes deleting, deleting, and revising it, but after a while of hesitation I still didn't send the message.

Delete them all and edit them again.

[You should also go to bed early and remember to drink milk before going to bed]

After getting an OK emoji reply from Lin Mingdong, Lin Ran put away his phone.

The standard of the hotel Riot booked for them this time was also quite good. One club arranged 6 rooms and a training room, and the 14 teams including the playoffs occupied two floors of space.

Lin Ran had a good sleep, and it was the early morning of May 9 when he woke up again.

Xiaotian was sleeping soundly on the other bed, holding a Bulbasaur doll brought from Shanghai in his arms.

Lin Ran didn't bother Garlic Bastard either. He was so hungry that he left the room after washing up and planned to go to the restaurant downstairs for food.

But as soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of suitcase rollers rubbing against the carpet in the hallway.

A tall team of players dragged their suitcases, looking depressed and demoralized, and went to the elevator to wait.

They wore Red Star uniforms with the words Gambit Esports printed on them.

Lin Ran could recognize it at a glance. This was the GMB team from the CIS region.

Although this team has no direct affiliation with the famous Moscow Five, when M5 disbanded in 2013, all five players in the team joined GMB. There is nothing wrong with saying that the predecessor of this Red Star team is M5.

M5 made great contributions during the era of the brutal growth of League of Legends and achieved good results. However, as the competition area gradually became regularized and capital was injected, they inevitably encountered stagnation in their level without staying in the competition area. The problem of not moving forward.

This time GMB participated in the mid-season championship as the champion of the CIS division. The early stage of the qualifying round went smoothly, with 5 wins and 1 loss in the group and entering the BO5.

As a result, yesterday they faced Flash Wolves, who lacked Casa and were in an increasingly poor LMS division, proving to all viewers the huge gap between the wild card division and the five major divisions.

Even if the tiger falls in Pingyang, it is still much better than the wild card.

Flash Wolves decisively defeated their opponents in straight sets and sent GMB home.

Diamondprox, a jungler with a handsome face, looked back at the room he had lived in the past two weeks.

They happened to meet Lin Ran eye to eye.

"Hi!" His eyes lit up. The man in front of him was so handsome that he felt like he was glowing even as he stood in the dark corridor.

"Ran, nice to meet you!" He, nicknamed Dai Meng, waved.

Are you Lulu? Lin Ran couldn't help but curse.

Several other GMB players heard the movement of their own junglers and turned to look in the direction of Lin Ran.

"Ran, Ran!" The bearded men crowded forward one after another, taking out their mobile phones and wanting to take a photo with Lin Ran.

It has to be said that with the Bird's Nest winning the cup, Lin Ran's popularity in the League of Legends circle has now reached its peak, and Lee Sang Hyuk and others will also be suppressed by him.

Thanks to the fact that the popularity of the game has not yet declined, Lin Ran's popularity is almost spread across all competition regions, and anyone who pays a little attention to the game will know his name.

He has a handsome and sunny appearance, a tall and tall height, and is not overly humble and introverted - such a character is not very popular on the field, but he is not too arrogant - which will arouse the disgust of many viewers in other competition regions.

At the same time, there is no dark history, and there is no such thing as just leaving tonight, or hanging up and taking a shower.

Most importantly, always win.

All audiences love him.

Even in the LCK division, his old rival, Lin Ran has many passerby fans. When they look at Lin Ran, they feel the same way the LPL audience looked at Lee Sang Hyuk in the past two years.

Love and hate it.

I like to watch him make unconstrained moves time and time again. It would be even better if the opponent was not beaten by a team from his own division.

Riot Games is very satisfied with the new image benchmark they have set. They want the world to realize that e-sports is not just for otakus. Compared with Li Sang Hyuk, the tough guy in life, and Lee Sang Hyuk, the show master who shakes hands, Lin Ran's image is obviously more Meet Riot’s external promotion requirements.

The GMB players' thoughts at this time were that they had seen the giant panda, so they hurried up to grab a photo, so that they could brag about it with their younger brothers in their own division. This trip to the Mid-Season Invitational was not in vain.

Lin Ran originally just wanted to go downstairs to eat, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation again.

"I'm your fan, Ran!" GMB's bearded mid laner grabbed Lin Ran's hand tightly, almost asking him to teach him how to play the game on the spot.

"No, no, no, no, you can say whatever you want, but don't say you are my fan." Lin Ran trembled when he heard Maozi's unique accent. He was afraid that others would say that.

After taking photos one by one, the GMB manager also wanted Lin Ran to exchange team uniforms.

"Hmm... Okay." Lin Ran was dressed lightly, and there were only three short-sleeved team uniforms in his suitcase. However, it was difficult to refuse such hospitality, so he agreed.

Lin Ranfang walked lightly back to the room, took out a team uniform and exchanged it with Duimeng.

The muscular man from GMB, who looked like he could kill a Shiba Inu with one punch, squatted down, took a photo of the two of them, and then posted it on social media.

[It’s a pity that we couldn’t let Berlin cheer for us, but before we left, we met a master, and he will let this place remember his name two days later]

I have to say that this Russian team is really disgusting. Why is Berlin cheering for them?

While several GMB members were reposting and liking the post, Dai Meng chatted with Lin Ran.

"To be honest, I didn't expect the gap between myself and the competition area to be so big," a trace of helplessness appeared on his handsome face, "Everyone is growing so fast nowadays..."

Lin Ran remained silent.

This is the current situation.

Why are the five major competition areas so strong?

Because more capital has entered, a more scientific and reasonable training system and fierce competition have allowed players to maintain strong strength, and a more mature and complete youth training selection mechanism has given the league a steady stream of fresh blood.

Finally, the alliance mechanism allows powerful divisions to become stronger through internal competition.

For example, in this mid-season championship, although YM is the champion of the LPL division, if teams like IG and RNG come to participate in MSI, they can also compete with KZ.

This is the confidence of the competition area.

In the wild card division where GMB is located, competitions are not frequent, and the number of mobile professional players is not large.

When internal competition is not strong, even if GMB is the division champion, it will not even be considered the second tier among the strongest professional teams in the world.

In the competition before the division, when your opponents are developing rapidly, if you stagnate, it is already a kind of falling behind.

"I also want to go one step further in the World Championships..." Dai Meng was unwilling to give up.

In the semi-finals of the S2 World Championship, they lost to the eventual champions, Taipei Assassins, and failed to advance to the finals, which is an eternal pain in the hearts of the M5 players.

Lin Ran wanted to comfort him. When Dai Meng entered the World Championship for the first time, he was able to reach the semi-finals, which was already considered a great success.

After all, a certain dream-chasing jungler of the same age group as him is still working hard for the honor of being one of the top four in the world championship.

A silly career is not a failure by any means.

But it was hard for Lin Ran to say words of comfort.

Entering the World Championship for the first time, does reaching the semi-finals count as success? Saying this from the mouth of a double champion always feels a bit like showing off.

He could only pat Du Meng on the shoulder and ask him to continue working hard.

"I have to catch a flight back to China," Dai Meng stretched out his hand to shake his, "Come on, too."

Lin Ran took the elevator downstairs with GMB, watched the group dragging their suitcases out of sight, and then returned to the restaurant to enjoy rye bread.

Players are usually night owls. Except for weirdos like Lin Ran, most of them don't have the habit of eating breakfast.

But there are exceptions.

Korean players wearing KZ uniforms filed in, each one yawning and feeling listless.

It looked like he had just gotten off the plane and arrived at the hotel, planning to finish breakfast and then go upstairs to catch up on jet lag.

The moment the sleepy-eyed Khan saw Lin Ran, his eyes widened with anger and he suddenly became energetic.

Lin Ran, who was biting the bread, glanced at Khan and found that the man looked like a champion and looked confident.

But he didn't care and just nodded to show friendship.

"Is there anyone next to you?" Gloria is also a social butterfly, and she has a pretty good relationship with Lin Ran from S6 until now.

"No, no," Lin Ran picked up the GMB uniform he had placed on the seat next to him, "This rye bread tastes good, you can try it."

Thanks to Su Cheng, Lin Ran is now fluent in English.

Gloria couldn't quite understand it, but based on Lin Ran's expression and movements, he could roughly guess that the other person was recommending food to him.

He nodded to indicate that he understood, and went to the dining table to get a piece of rye bread.

"How is your version adapting?" Khan sat down opposite Lin Ran and said in half-baked Chinese.

He had played in domestic competitions before and his Mandarin was not forgotten, which came in handy at this time.

"You don't ask questions like that," Lin Ran laughed and stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth, letting the rich taste of malt and butter spread in his mouth, "You might as well ask us what we are hiding."

"Then what tricks are you hiding?" Khan continued to ask straightforwardly.

"..." Lin Ran listened to Khan's accented Mandarin, but he didn't expect there to be such a naive person.

"It's just too much," Khan puffed out his chest, "We will completely destroy YM in the game!"

"Oh," Lin Ran nodded to indicate that he heard, "Have you forgotten how you lost the World Championship last year?"

"This year is different!" Khan suddenly became anxious when he heard Lin Ranbala's previous results. "Our configuration is much better than before!"

"Isn't there just one more peanut?" Lin Ran said lightly, "What's the difference? Every time YM gives out results, he will meet little peanut. He is simply a blessing to our LPL."

Khan was at a loss for words. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that this was really the case.

S6 Peanut was in the Tigers and lost in a fierce battle with YM in the semifinals in five games.

S7 Little Peanut is in SKT. From the mid-season to the Intercontinental Championship and then to the World Championship, Little Peanut never fails to give YM a grand slam throughout the year.

"Ha," he was a little flustered, but he didn't stop speaking harshly, "We'll see the result on the field then!"

Slowly increase the number of words, estimated at 9k tomorrow, and then 10,000 per day until the end of the month
