LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

The empty Zenith Stadium echoed with the loud shouts of YM fans!

Even though they are weak, their burst of sound can still fill the whole venue!

Many people in the LPL official event live broadcast room are still talking nonsense.

【I want to scream! 】

[Is this male gunner Guigui 1/3 as good as my brother? 】

[Sparrow's cricket, Bird's cricket, but without Honghui, it always feels tasteless! 】

"Congratulations to YM for scoring a point and gaining their first victory in the MSI semi-finals!" Ze Yuan said loudly, "It took 26 minutes, FNC was suppressed almost the whole time, and it also allowed Xiaoyao to win the first victory in this mid-season championship. Five kills from the jungle position!"

"This is also the first five kills in his career!" Zhuo Ding knew his friend's competition data well, "I didn't expect that he got it with a male gun!"

"But Xiaotian's five kills..." I remember hesitating a little, but still said what was in my heart, "It's a bit relaxing!"

This coincides with Zeyuan's feeling, "I think so too. Xiaotian doesn't need to use any fancy operations, just normal output in team battles and the situation will be harvested."

This penta-kill is indeed not ranked high in terms of visual shock, and it is not on the same level as the penta-kill operation of Uzi's peak VN game against IG.

"Because they are not of the same nature," Zhuo Ding explained for Xiaoyao, "The male gun's five-kill strength lies in the control of entry opportunities and output environment. YM first sent out Jack and Brother Ran, and the two of them cheated out. Most of FNC's skills also produced good output before death, creating a harvesting environment for Xiaoyao."

YM Double C was still sitting on the player bench at this time conducting an in-depth review of the game.

"Is this bowl my contribution?" Shiba Inu waved his paws and moved the mouse to look at the output panel. He found that he was actually the third highest output in the team. He was extremely disappointed and quickly wanted to make up for it from another angle, so as not to let his teammates underestimate him. "How's my sale going, huh?"

"Great," Lin Ran responded, "What about my QR?"

"Of course it's crucial..."

Xiaoyao drank all the lemonade in the paper cup and interrupted Double C's credit gathering, "Don't leave these two colored pens here to ask for credit. Isn't it me who is carrying this round?"

He turned around and went to Jin Gong, "Is your father strong in this round of Xiba people? I told you that the labor man's gun should be C!"

Jimu Gong showed a disdainful expression, "If it wasn't me who flashed the bundle in the last wave, how could you have gotten 5 kills?"

While everyone was arguing, the FNC players on the other side of the stage rushed to the lounge with paper cups in hand, took off their headphones, and the applause and encouragement given to them by the home audience was no longer hindered and went straight into their ears.

European commentator Deficio also mobilized his emotions, "This is a BO5. A temporary defeat can't prove anything. Keep up the good work, FNC. Behind you is the entire LCSEU!"

Head coach Youngbuck felt extremely guilty when he saw the players filing in.

"I didn't expect that YM Nakano would come out with the male gun + Dragon King..."

caps shook his head, "What does it have to do with you? Who could have expected that YM would choose these two heroes?"

Xiaotian's male gun, which he had not used in the entire mid-season, and Star Casting Dragon King, who had been away from the mainstream choice in the professional arena for nearly a year and a half, the combination that YM's midfielder came up with surprised everyone.

There is really nothing the coaching staff can do about this non-version choice. They cannot prepare all the heroes in each position accordingly, which is simply unrealistic.

"The main reason is that the disadvantage in the early stage is a bit big," Caps picked himself up a cup of iced coffee, "If the transition to level 6 can be smooth, the Yanque mid laner will not be so passive."

After all, Taliyah is a meta hero, and her overall ability is definitely better than Dragon King.

But Lin Ran made perfect use of his hero's strong period in the last game, doing the right thing at the right time and taking the lead in opening up the situation to help the male gunner dominate the jungle.

"Let's give it a try in the next game..." youngbuck decided to do something cool.

…

Ten minutes later, the two teams took the stage again, and YM was filled with laughter.

In the last game, they used a lineup that did not fit the version to crush their opponents, which made the YM training department feel confident.

If you play normally, wouldn't you win casually?

Redmi wants to directly study the MSI finals opponents.

But when he got to the stage, he still urged his players to get serious.

"Let's try to win three games for the opponent," Jiang Chenglu said with a Northeastern accent when he translated, "Don't delay for too long."

In this kind of knockout match, each additional round means that a little more of the tactics are exposed.

Tactics are not necessarily lineup choices. They are often closely related to eye position, action heat maps, and jungle routes.

If the opponents in the lower half are allowed to figure out YM's tactical thinking, they are likely to suffer a heavy blow in the finals.

When they entered the players' seats, the LPL live broadcast room was also connected to the commentary station signal.

"Welcome back to the live broadcast of the 2018 Mid-Season Championship semi-finals..." Zeyuan quickly finished reading the sponsor advertisement before the BP started, and then returned to the topic, "Knight, what do you think of the performance of both sides in the last game? ?”

During the break just now, he and Zhuo Ding had a breath and informed him in advance of the questions he was going to ask.

Therefore, the golden left hand is well prepared. "YM is still as strong as ever. The most terrifying thing about them is that they have no shortcomings. Everyone has the ability to carry the game. This is something that many LPL playoff-level teams do not have. Even if they play Teams reaching the semi-finals of the Spring Split also have deficiencies in this regard.”

Xiaotian's performance in the last game was quite eye-catching. When Jack was unable to open up the situation in the bottom lane, he stepped up and led the team to win the game. This made many people change their stereotype of him.

However, the barrage was slowed down, and the audience's attention was diverted to other content.

[Everyone has the ability to carry? Who are you implying? 】

[Let me help you @RNG E-Sports Club, someone suggested that you can’t top lane]

[Hey guys, just run up to Letme’s face and say this]

[Obviously Uzi can’t do it, why can’t you lead your teammates to win? 】

[Why do you think of RNG? I wonder if EDG and IG also have shortcomings? 】

Zhuo Ding, who was still on the commentary stage, obviously didn't know that the barrage was going crazy because of his words. He rarely spoke clearly, "Of course FNC is not bad either."

"Although the last game only lasted 26 minutes, looking at the laning phase alone, none of their three lanes were suppressed, and even the upper and lower lanes still had a certain advantage," Zhuo Ding expressed his understanding. "If it weren't for Brother Ran, Level 1 pushed the line to catch the blind monk's opening movement in time, and deceived broxah's punishment. This game's jungle area is not that easy to open up the situation."

He concluded: "In my opinion, FNC is very strong. Even if they are placed in the LPL, they must be at the top four level. There are not many LPL teams that can withstand the heavy pressure of YM with at least three pairs of lanes."

This is true. Even if YM has played with this lineup for two years, the number of teams in the division that can match their laning strength is quite rare. EDG, IG and RNG all have team shortcomings to a greater or lesser extent.

I remember laughing and saying, "I didn't expect Knight to have such a high opinion of FNC...the drafting of the second game has begun!"

"FNC continued to choose the red side in this game!" Zeyuan was very surprised. "In the current version, it is generally recognized that the blue side has the advantage. It is very rare for a team to actively choose the red side."

Zhuo Ding also nodded in agreement, "Yes, the main reason is that the red side not only has to bear the fixed ban position, but also the lineup system is not easy to construct. In most cases, it can only be dealt with passively. FNC's side selection is really weird..."

"It should be a surprise move in the counter position in the last move," he could only guess, "otherwise there is no need to choose the red square."

It can only be said that youngbuck is on the first floor this time.

The BP pressure on the red side in this version mainly comes from the ADC. The hero Ezreal is simply the biggest bug in the current version, and its strength is ridiculously high.

This is also the difficulty of the red side in this version. No matter whether it is released or banned, the red side will suffer.

But youngbuck made a surprise move and still chose the red edge in this game.

One is, as Zhuo Ding said, he wants to do something sexy.

The second reason is that the shooter problem that the red side originally faced had to be solved by YM itself.

The reason is simple, Jack doesn't know EZ.

Youngbuck has been looking for Jack's qualifying record since he came to Paris, and found that this guy's EZ still looks dazed after practicing for so long. Although there has been a slight improvement, through the OB perspective video, you can find the nature of his getting lost and dying suddenly in the mid-term.

As a result, Jack's EZ usage frequency had decreased in the past two days, and he didn't doubt it.

After all, it is now the knockout stage, and there is not much practice time left for professional players. If you continue to indulge in this EZ that cannot be practiced, it will affect the proficiency of other heroes.

In youngbuck's opinion, no matter which side FNC chooses, YM will ban Ezreal.

The red side's disadvantage is invisibly smaller.

After Hongmi learned that FNC took the initiative to choose the red side, she was naturally able to guess the opponent's intentions.

But he wasn't going to give Jack the little yellow hair in this round.

FNC doesn't deserve to reveal their trump card.

"YM blue side bans Ezreal first!" This ban position was also expected by the three people on the commentary table. After all, YM has never released this hero since the second round of the group stage.

Zhuo Ding continued: "FNC sent Qinggang Ying to the ban position as usual..."

In the second round of bans, both sides chose Luo and Karma respectively.

Hongmi was pacing behind the YM player seats.

After he took the lead in choosing to block Luo, FNC's ban of Kalma vaguely revealed its intention to choose Crow - as long as FNC's third ban blocks the trolls, the problem will be thrown to YM.

He frowned and thought hard for a long time, and decided to ban Kai'Sa himself.

In this way, if FNC does not ban Raven, they can first get Swain, a very strong mid-to-upper swing position, and also ensure that the opponent cannot choose Kai'Sa in exchange.

"FNC didn't make a choice until the last moment, they banned Crow!"

As Hongmi expected, he arranged for Jin Gong to choose Morgana first.

"Eh? Aren't we going to choose the female police officer first?" I remember wondering, "In the quick recommendation system, Morgana is replaceable, and the female police officer is indispensable!"

Zeyuan also set his sights on Zhuo Ding. Although he and Yi Yi had a strong understanding of the game among the commentators, they were still a bit underwhelmed in front of professional players.

"YM must be sure that the opponent will not use the policewoman," Zhuo Ding understood. However, he did not have enough game information at hand - after all, there was no coaching staff to provide him with specific information about FNC before taking the stage, so he could only follow his own instructions. "After all, if we win the policewoman, we will require broxah to focus on the bottom lane during the laning phase, which is contrary to FNC's tactical thinking."

Although there is not much information, Knight said that there is indeed no cat cake.

Although overall, FNC's Double C is the absolute core of the team, in fact, Ou Cheng basically developed invisibly in the early stage, and started to crazily eat Bin to supplement his development in the mid-term. In the MSI group stage, Ou Cheng trailed by an average of 5.8 points per game in the first 15 minutes. When the range of CS data is expanded to the entire field, Ou Cheng's average CS is as high as 11.4.

You must know that in this spring game, Uzi, who is like a magic weapon descending from the sky, only averages 11.9 CS points. This can only be achieved if he can exert absolute suppression in the early stage and letme give up the troops.

From a data point of view, this MSI Europe is like "one person, I eat three ways".

The stealth development in the early stage made it impossible for FNC to drive the rhythm with the bottom lane as the core. Ou Cheng is naturally not suitable for a bulldozer hero like the policewoman. In the entire group stage, youngbuck did not choose Caitlyn for him, and even the version popular Verus did not Not used.

Even with the invincible lane pushing combination of Karma and Sivir in the last game, Oucheng and Hailisang only controlled the lane to create an advantage in the second half for Broxah. The only time they rushed to demolish the tower was killed by Xiao Wei.

That's why Redmi decided to take Morgana first on the blue side. If FNC doesn't let YM get the speed push system, they have to snatch the policewoman themselves.

But youngbuck naturally has a back-up plan in his arrangement.

He released policewoman Morgana in this round just to allow YM to shift its tactical focus to the bottom lane again.

In this way, FNC can execute its plan.

"Troll + Ryze, FNC got a swing combination that looks pretty good!"

YM then picked up the policewoman and Zoe in the second and third picks. Hongmi felt that the opponent would leave the red side's counter position to caps anyway, so he might as well give Lin Ran a mid laner with sufficient laning strength in advance.

"The last hero selection in the first round of FNC..." A fat and big catfish appeared in the hero selection box of caps, "Tahm!"

Zeyuan sighed, "This clearly tells YM that our bottom lane is going to be messed up in this game, and Tahm is a little restrained by Zoe..."

"Once Tahm Kench comes out, YM's BP will definitely not target ADC in the second round. After all, the shooter position cannot be banned, and it is easier to mix with Tahm Kench, so it is better to ban the mid-to-upper swing position." Zhuo Ding He also put forward his own opinions.

Sure enough, after youngbuck disabled Blind Sin, Redmi blocked the captain.

"The fifth ban of FNC has chosen a male gun!" Zeyuan beamed with joy, "Xiaotian is showing off. The hero who won the MVP in the last game was banned this game!"

The garlic bastard on the contestants' bench was also stunned, "Do these people have cat cakes?"

"Hey, hey, Xiaoyao's male gun can actually be banned," Jack laughed heartily, "WDNMD is so outrageous!"

Seeing this scene, Hongmi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, but he immediately adjusted his expression and said, "Let's ban Sion. This hero works wonders with Ryze."

When the YM players heard this, they couldn't help but think of the driving system RW used when facing them in the spring semi-finals. If they hadn't handled it properly, they would have been fooled by this move.

"FNC's fourth choice is Sivir!" Zeyuan let out his voice, "Ou Cheng doesn't believe in evil and must win with this hero!"

"But in terms of the ability to clear lanes and defend towers, Sivir + Tahm Kench are basically the best match," Knight analyzed in a timely manner. "They are very difficult to die and their ability to prevent tower overshooting is also good."

"Look at the last two choices of YM," I remember looking forward to it, "take Ornn first, this should be for Jin Gong..."

After YM Crisp's hero selection box lit up for two seconds, he quickly locked onto another jungler character!

Hold on to your son’s soul and live with him!

"Qian Jue!" Zeyuan was stunned by YM's unusual jungle choices in these two games. "After taking the male gun and taking Qian Jue, Xiao Yao will target the jungle core in this BO5!"

The audience in the live broadcast room was also extremely excited.

【? ? ? 】

【Are you starting again? 】

[What kind of cool heroes are playing in this semi-final...]

[Qian Jue, a ten-year veteran player, came uninvited. I feel like I haven’t seen this hero in a year]

I remember being shocked, "Is it possible that YM is changing its thinking? Or is it showing its trump card?"

Everyone else fainted.

Not only him, but the FNC generals sitting on the other side of the stage also frowned and discussed countermeasures in low voices.

Kind Jue has been in a tepid state in S8. In terms of pure wild core, he is just a substitute for the Male Spear and Leopard Girl. Compared with the other two heroes, Kind Jue's jungle offensive ability is worse, and R [Sheep Spirit Breathing] is more of a functionality, providing survival guarantee for the team's backline.

Youngbuck closed his eyes slightly and let out a breath.

He had to admit that the characters chosen by YM in these two rounds were not at all in his plan.

Due to the unconventional lineup chosen by the opponent, almost none of the countermeasures he had studied so hard before the game were put to use.

Kindred...

Youngbuck patted Caps on the shoulder, "Let's get it according to our pre-game plan."

"No problem," Caps pinched his fingers confidently, "Wrap it around me."

Hailisang saw that his mid laner and coach had a clear attitude, so he locked in their core role in formulating tactics during the break.

The yordle with silver hair and lively eyes is holding a cannon in one hand and saluting in front of the camera with the other hand!

Merlin Gunner Tristana!

"Mid laner?!" Zeyuan felt as if he had entered Hailan House, and there was a new feeling every time.

On the first day of the semi-finals, the lineups produced by these two teams impressed him every time.

"Brother Ran punished Lucian with his mid laner and small cannon last year. I didn't expect that it would be his turn to face this rogue shooter today!" I remember feeling worried for Lin Ran. The small cannon beat Zoe in the mid lane. As long as he brought purification, it would be useless. The suspense was one-sided, and the Twilight Star Spirits had no ability to fight back.

Zhuo Ding, who had been silent just now, saw FNC's last choice and took out a small cannon. He had previously suspected the tactics of both sides because of Qian Jue's appearance, and he became more and more sure of this idea.

YM took the male gun and Qian Jue in these two games. It was not like they remembered that they were changing their style or showing their trump cards.

This is just a lineup designed to deal with FNC.

FNC, which averages 37 minutes per game, likes to wait until the late game to allow Double C to take over team battles.

The male guns and Qianjue that YM got in these two rounds have one thing in common besides being wild core.

shooter.

The core output of late-stage team battles basically has three elements - stable damage production, long enough range, and high enough output.

The perfect standard is the shooter.

This is also the reason why ADC is strong in the late stage.

After the evasion attribute is removed, basic attacks cannot be avoided in most cases, and the damage is stable; the shooter's 500-yard range allows them to threaten most opponents in team battles; relying on equipment can continuously increase the damage of normal attacks... …

Nan Qiang and Qian Jue can be used as shooters in mid-to-late team battles, and choosing them means that YM has certain late-stage team battle capabilities.

In this way, even if YM encounters difficulties in advancing in the early stage, there is no need to worry. The double shooters provide them with protection.

This was the case in the first game. FNC successively eliminated Dragon King and Kai'Sa in the last wave of team battles, but still fell to Graves' shotgun barrel.

Youngbuck has obviously learned from the experience and lessons learned in the previous game. This game they also have two shooters, which highlights their late-stage ability.

And using small cannons to deal with Zoe is even more effective.

Zhuo Ding remembered his prediction before the game - whoever can seize the initiative in the middle will win the game.

He couldn't help but feel worried.

Lin Ran, who was sitting on the player bench, quickly shook the warm baby in his hand and glanced at the lineup.

Blue square YM: top laner Ornn, jungler Kindred, mid laner Zoe, bottom lane Policewoman + Morgana.

Red side FNC: top laner Ryze, jungler Troll, mid lane cannon, bottom lane Sivir + Tahm.

FNC's lineup still has little control, but they can rely on the dual driving of Tahm and Ryze to make frequent lane changes and use small cannons to dismantle towers and advance.

There is no doubt that the core of FNC is definitely small guns.

"You must not let Xiaopao gain weight." Hongmi still warned him before leaving the stage.

Lin Ran nodded to indicate that he understood, took a sip of lemonade and checked the runes, and waited quietly for the game to load.

Deficio, the European commentator at the scene, was still gushing, "In the middle of the game, Caps used a small cannon to face Ran's Zoe. I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the two sides is very different..."

He is very optimistic, "If FNC can let the small guns take off in this game, the probability of winning is still quite high!"

The FNC fans at the scene were excited by the commentary, and the support sticks with the FNC orange logo kept banging and making a muffled sound!

They extremely hope that the home team they support can knock YM off the altar today!

Summoner's Rift is coming, and cheers soaring into the sky suddenly erupt from the surrounding stands!

No sound-isolating headphones could completely block the vast momentum. Lin Ran felt like the stage beneath his feet was shaking!

He tried to calm down, bought the Dolan Ring and rushed online.

"Brother Ran, these runes are very targeted at small guns!" Taking advantage of the gap between the ten people advancing to the middle, the director gave the rune choices of all the players. Zeyuan could tell at a glance that Lin Ran was different.

"Secrets for unsealing the main system, stopwatch, soldier dematerializer and astral insight..." Zeyuan tugged at his finger, "Secondary system is resolute, pupa transformation and bone plating."

"Coupled with the weakness of the summoner's skills and the Dolan Ring's outfit, this Zoe is very difficult to kill!"

The health value and the damage reduction provided by the bone plating in the early stage of pupation can effectively resist the high burst of the small cannon's level 2 jump in the face.

But under normal circumstances, no Zoe would bring the resolute rune, so Lin Ran was a different kind.

Zhuo Ding was stunned. He took a closer look at Zoe's rune combinations and shook his head repeatedly, "This is too stable. Brother Ran doesn't want to give Caps any chance!"

Adjust your state, go to bed early and have a big chapter tomorrow.
