LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

Lin Ran glanced at the post-match data panel and saw Ezreal's exaggerated damage bar chart. He curled his lips helplessly, picked up the paper cup and walked off the stage.

I made a lot of sacrifices in the selection of BP lineup, and KZ also went too far. They just swung the originally planned mid laner Karma to the bottom lane, and then chose Dao Mei to counter in the middle lane.

After all, BDD is a rising mid lane star in South Korea in recent years, and is considered by many viewers to be another successor of Lee Sang Hyuk.

Although Lin Ran was strong, when facing a top professional player of this level, it would be difficult for him to get back on top of his opponent after being countered.

Fortunately, the teammates and coaching staff are very helpful.

If the entire team is pulled apart and Lin Ran is the only strong point, it will be too easy to be targeted. He alone cannot reverse the situation of the battle.

After all, the world's number one super soldier has to look to his teammates, and he is no exception.

Lin Ran saw Jack's beaming look and wanted to take credit, but before he could say anything, the Shiba Inu rushed over with a shy face.

"Brother Ran, it's all thanks to you," he gushed. "If it hadn't been for that stone formation, I might not have been able to survive..."

Jack recalled the frightening moment after being hit by the Rat King's Void Search.

When he and Kai'Sa were closest, the distance between them was only 0.01 centimeters. He had no idea what would happen next. Two seconds later, Kai'Sa died suddenly on the spot.

"It's good that you know." Lin Ran was very satisfied with his younger brother's attitude. Before, he would only reluctantly admit that he helped a lot when he took credit for the Shiba Inu. Now even if he gets five kills, he knows who is the talker in the team. .

Obviously there has been considerable progress.

On the other side, Khan took off his sound-isolating headphones and hurried back to the lounge with his teammates amidst the roar of the audience.

He had a stinky face, and the high spirits that he was determined to win the championship had disappeared. He took a large glass of ice water and drank it, hoping to dispel the restlessness in his heart.

He was really desperate to lose this game.

Last year's World Championship was swept by YM. At that time, he and others in the team thought that the jungler was holding them back. icuzz had an incredible performance of 0 kills, 20 deaths and 1 assist in the entire BO5. In order to continue the development of the team, they could only introduce strong players. aid to make up for the shortcomings.

The arrival of Little Peanut has filled the last shortcoming of KZ's lineup. In terms of the physical strength of the five players alone, it has become the ceiling of the LCK division.

The Spring Split also proved this. KZ was simply killing each other in the league. The declining SKT, Samsung, which won the runner-up in the World Championship last year, and another galaxy battleship KT were no match for them.

Khan felt that he was confident enough to compete with YM this time.

But in the first game of the finals, YM came out with an unexpected Ezreal, and Jack also played extremely well.

This completely disrupted the team's pre-match planning!

The final BO5 seems very long, but if you think about it carefully, it only takes three or four hours.

If they cannot come up with a perfect response plan during this period, they will lose the most valuable championship in the first half of the season!

Faced with this kind of pressure, Khan was naturally anxious, "I don't know how you fought in the last wave of team battles. I used my ultimate move to maximize the damage in the dragon pit..."

As he was talking, he happened to see the last wave of team battles being replayed on the TV screen in the lounge. He immediately pointed at it, "Can't we just drive EZ away? He was still on the dragon pit at that time. The range it can be exported to is very narrow.”

"Why don't we focus our fire on the people in the dragon pit first?" Khan's voice was a little sharp when he said this.

BDD remained silent.

Now watching the team battle replay again, he knew that something was wrong with him.

On the TV screen, Sword Girl had already used her ultimate move to force Jack onto the dragon's pit. At that time, his choice was to dodge Thane's ultimate move and move onto Jack's face.

If we follow what Khan said and ignore the EZ first and eliminate the enemies in the dragon pit first, the outcome of this wave of team battles may change.

He was really anxious. When he saw EZ, it was as if his passive was triggered. He flashed up without saying a word, and Pray was also fooled.

Double C was directly dealt with by YM above the dragon pit, leaving Khan alone.

Pray also wanted to explain, "This was an on-the-spot reaction. The situation was urgent. How could I have thought of so many things at that time?"

"If Yanque hadn't scattered the stone array, I could have taken away the EZ..."

Khan wanted to say more, but head coach Hiari dissuaded him in time, "Don't argue, don't argue, don't argue. The key here is don't cause trouble. Don't argue about these useless things here!"

The last game is over, and no matter how much you argue, it won't change the established ending.

The intermission time is already tight, and there is no way he would let the players spend their time arguing about these useless topics.

The authority of the coach in the LCK team is here, and Khan and Rat King also know that now is not the time for review, so they keep their mouths shut in a tacit understanding.

The lounge finally became quiet, and Hiari nodded with satisfaction.

"I chose the red side in the next game. Everyone, be prepared. I plan to..."

Khan perked up hearing these words.

"Don't choose Crow for me. I was disgusted to death by the opposite Thain in the last game!"

When Swain plays Thayne, he can completely suppress his opponent in the lane, but in the mid-term, the effect is extremely poor.

Although relying on R [Devil's Ascension] is not afraid of the jungle causing trouble, he cannot advance - Thain's three skills can quickly clear the line of troops. When the cannon enters the tower, use E [Killer's Roar] to push it go out.

It is difficult for Crow to withstand the tower bombardment and Thain attack to demolish the tower. After all, the hero's own ability to recover and rely on lanes is relatively average.

Moreover, the attack power and attack speed cannot keep up, and the tower demolition speed is very slow.

Khan Shangpan and Jin Gong tortured each other for twenty minutes before demolishing a tower, but it had no effect at all.

"Choose a strong one for me," Khan put forward his request. "If you challenge a strong one, there will be a reply..."

He finally added, "It's best to torture the type of hero who can torture the opponent's top laner."

"I know, I know," Hiari opened his notebook. The players were playing on the court in the last round. He was discussing the next tactical arrangements with his colleagues off the stage. He expressed his thoughts smoothly at this moment, "I plan to do this..."

…

"Welcome back to the live broadcast of the 2018 MSI finals!" Miller felt refreshed and in a much better mood after the break. "Currently, the LPL division team YM is currently leading 1-0!"

"Jack also won the MVP of the first game with his wonderful performance," Wawa continued, "It seems that he is in very good condition today!"

Changmao also brushed up on his presence beside him, "It's true. Whenever Ran Ge uses functional heroes to make sacrifices for the team, it proves that YM's strength is no problem."

"That's the case with Que," Miller echoed. "The scariest thing about YM is that Brother Ran can't win the MVP if he wins the game. This shows that there must be teammates who are in great shape and can take over the game."

From the Zenith Stadium to the event live broadcast room, the audience who supported YM were all in a good mood and full of confidence in the next game!

Before the game, they thought that Jack's Ezreal would be the team's breakthrough point, but they didn't expect that this guy would get five kills when he took it out!

The loopholes have been closed. YM fans think that nothing can stop their home team from winning another championship, so they are naturally very happy.

[YM are really good at hiding these stupid people. How about covering up EZ before the finals? 】

[Why do I think it was chosen on the spot? It doesn’t look like it was premeditated]

[Do you believe this? Can this kind of performance be achieved on the spot? 】

【What's the noise about? Won’t we all find out in the post-match interview? 】

The barrage was still debating whether Jack's EZ was prepared in advance, but in the end they didn't come to a conclusion.

But there is one thing that everyone agrees on - KZ will not release Ezreal in this finals. They cannot afford the risk of losing another game.

The three commentators stood on the stage and chatted for a while, and then saw the BP panel reappearing!

"KZ used the right to choose sides to get the red side for themselves..."

As expected, KZ did not hesitate to ban Ezreal in the first pick in this game!

The audience burst into laughter. In two consecutive games on the red side, KZ’s choice of BP was completely different.

"But if this is the case, KZ's ban position will not be enough!" Even the doll can see it. The side effects of banning EZ can be said to be obvious, and it is clearly on the table.

In the first round, KZ released Qinggangying, who had been buying a house in the ban position before!

"YM decisively locked Camille instantly!" Changmao looked in disbelief, "KZ is playing with fire!"

Miller also widened his eyes, showing a bit of surprise, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of pleasure.

Not only him, but the doll next to him was also happy.

"KZ is really brave. The Qinggang Shadow system that YM has in hand is very effective. It has hardly been released by opponents since the spring split!" He could imagine Lin Ran and Jin Gong swinging wildly for a while. It tortured KZ to the point of ecstasy.

The five YM people under the camera also smiled happily.

They are very confident in the hero Qinggangying.

Camille is already very strong, and the double swing attribute given by YM makes her even more powerful.

The next BP selections for both sides were quite quick. YM formed a combination of Qinggangying, Olaf, Ryze, Verus and Braum. The mid-to-upper split between Ryze and Qinggangying has not yet been determined.

"YM's lineup is very stable!" Miller said with a smile. "It takes care of both the front, middle and late stages. It has 131 points to push and the backhands of Verus and Bronn..."

On the other side, KZ took out Zach, Karma, Kai'Sa and Morgana. Among them, Karma also had no determined branch. It was obviously used by Hiari to deal with the swing of YM Qinggangying.

"Let's see what KZ will take in the last choice..." Wawa wasn't worried, but KZ immediately gave him a big surprise.

A woman with a crossbow and scorpion braids appeared in Grilla's hero selection box!

Without any hesitation, lock it in directly!

The sound of surprise from the audience filled the closed gymnasium, and the reverberation showed no sign of dissipating!

"Wayne?!" Changmao's surprised emotion was transmitted through the receiver to the ears of all viewers watching the live broadcast. He couldn't help but amplify his voice, "Which way will KZ use her?"

The emergence of the Night Hunter has filled the chat channels of all event live broadcast rooms around the world with question marks!

"Axi..." Imp, who was still chatting with his partner on the LCK commentary stage, almost couldn't control his emotions again. He pressed his teeth against the tip of his tongue and quickly swallowed the dirty words.

He didn't have much money when he was invited to participate in the commentary this time, and LCK is not very generous in this regard. If he is held accountable for his inappropriate words again, I'm afraid he won't be able to pay wages to LCK.

Quan Yongchun's expression was equally colorful, "Is Vayne really a good choice? This hero has been sitting in the sewer for a long time..."

Since last year, few people have paid attention to Vayne. Even in the S7 World Championship where Incense Burner and Galio are popular, she is rarely seen.

In the S8 season, Ka'Sa, a shooter with a perfect mechanism, landed in the league, completely squeezing Vayne's status.

Today, KZ made her come back!

But Quan Yongchen felt a little worried in his heart.

If this hand of Vayne was chosen by KZ in the first game, then he would not hesitate to judge that this was the team's trump card.

But now that the score was behind and the opponent's signature Qinggang Shadow was released, he had doubts.

"There's nothing wrong with this hand!" Imp regained his composure and explained to his partners and the viewers watching the Korean stream, "Wayne's solo lane is to counter Qinggang Ying!"

"Huh?" Quan Yongchen is nearly fifty years old, and his understanding of League of Legends is average. His usual task at the commentary desk is to ease the atmosphere and guide topics, and he prefers a hosting role. When he heard imp's words, he first said He was stunned, and then immediately asked: "What is the specific reason?"

Omp considered the sentence before replying, "Wayne's Q [Evasion Assault] combined with the stealth mechanism of her ultimate move can effectively deal with Qinggang Shadow's face; and E [Devil's Judgment] can form a linkage with the wall. Unfortunately, Qinggang Shadow E [Hook Rope] is a skill that relies on walls to be used..."

Quan Yongchen understood immediately, "If Qinggang Ying uses E to hook the wall to try to show off her face, will Vayne take the opportunity to nail her to the wall?"

"Yes, that's it." Imp nodded, agreeing with his partner's statement, "But this is all theoretical. I have never seen Vayne play solo. How is the effect against Qinggang Shadow in actual combat? It depends on KZ’s performance.”

The three LPL official commentators were noisy and each had their own opinions, but none of them could speak to the key points like imp.

In terms of seniority, Brother Haier and Changmao are definitely the oldest among the casters, but in terms of understanding of the game, except for Miller who is still making do, the other two have lost their sights and cannot play many ranked games in a year. Even heroes I can’t even figure out the mechanism, let alone the restraint relationship.

The selection rate of Vayne in the solo line is already low, so it makes sense that the three of them can't figure it out.

The atmosphere in the YM contestant seats on the stage also changed instantly. It was no longer relaxed and cheerful before, but seemed much more solemn. Lin Ran's mouth tightened, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Several team members were still chattering, discussing with each other how to deal with KZ's Vayne.

Of course, they also understand things that imp can figure out.

KZ made it clear that they deliberately released Qinggang Ying, and used Vayne in the counter position to catch the lane.

In the end, they decided to hand over Qinggang Shadow to Jin Gong, while Lin Ran kept Ryze in the middle, trying to control the lane, giving priority to supporting the top lane, so as to alleviate the disadvantage of the West Eight.

…

"He's still alive!" LCS EU commentator Drakos looked at the Night Hunter flashing and moving on the screen, his voice became more and more shrill and excited, "Khan is still outputting!"

The crossbow in Vayne's hand kept firing holy silver crossbow arrows. After the sheep knives were superimposed, she shot out three rings at a very fast speed. She rolled forward and took away Camille with one arrow!

"She didn't stop. BDD operated Karma to give Vayne an acceleration effect, allowing Khan to continue chasing forward!"

The audience's excited cheers lingered in their ears. The Night Hunter used the acceleration effect to twist and avoid the skills of Olaf and Braum. The crisp sound of the Holy Silver Crossbow's effect reverberated throughout the Zenith Stadium!

After finally flashing forward and killing Lin Ran who was trying to escape, Vayne successfully received a wave of four kills!

"The KZ team destroyed their opponents. They are going to use Kai'Sa and Vayne, the two shooters, to advance as a team and end the game!" Quan Yongjun is really good at mobilizing the atmosphere of the game. His tone is ups and downs, and he will win over the Korean audience in just a few words. All the passion is mobilized.

Defense towers were destroyed one after another, and the economic gap between the two sides continued to expand from God's perspective.

But until the YM main crystal was destroyed, the economic difference was only 5,500 gold coins. Before the start of this team battle, the economic difference between the two sides was 2,200.

Judging from the game duration of 38 minutes, this economic value is almost negligible.

"Congratulations to KZ, it was a very tough battle!" CloudTemplar said with a slightly relaxed expression, "They relied on the outstanding performance of Khan and Peanut to even the score to one to one!"

"Although we won, it was much harder than expected," imp said in a neutral manner. "KZ had such a big advantage in the early stage, but ended up sending out several waves..."

The barrage rhythm in the LPL official live broadcast room is all over the place.

【Khan? Uzi! 】

[If you don’t understand, just ask, how successful is Vayne’s four kills with Uzi? 】

[This is the divine punishment imposed by Uzdushe Khan after YM defeated RNG! 】

[The first is to commit...]

[KZ is also good enough to pull the span, and its early advantage is such a huge advantage that it can allow Brother Ran to roam around]

[Khan isn’t going to fight AD now? The Rat King was also a mole in this game. He flashed to receive Liu Qingsong's Braum Q. Was he really infected by Jack? 】

Lin Ran pushed the door open and entered the lounge. Compared to the noisy corridor, the room was extremely quiet, with only the whispers of Hongmi, Jiang Chenglu and Gou Ba discussing tactics.

"I'm suffocating myself to death," Xiaoyao went straight to the toilet. "I thought this round would be over in 20 minutes. Why did the other side send me up?"

"Hurry up, you have to come back to discuss how to play the next game." Lin Ran sat on the chair and recalled the specific details of the previous game.

YM collapsed at the beginning.

Relying on Liu Qingsong's strong level 1 Braum combat power, they wanted to invade as a group, but they never expected that KZ would dare to fight back and use BDD Karma's RQ slowdown to pull.

As a result, the first-level teams of both sides played a wave of 2 for 2. The disadvantage was that all the flashes of the YM duo were handed over.

Little Peanut will naturally not give up this opportunity. He frequently rushes to the bottom lane under the control of Zac. As long as he uses E [Elastic Slingshot] to knock people away, Grela can follow up and control them.

Xiaoyao had no choice. Jin Gong faced too much pressure from Vayne on the top lane. He could only let the bottom lane resist the pressure and chose to go with Lin Ran to catch Khan.

But Khan's laning was quite stable in this game. He knew that if Peanut appeared in the bottom lane, he would definitely receive YM's military training. Therefore, every time he returned to the city, he would hold a real eye in his hand. He used the 75 gold coins to save himself. Two or three times.

In the entire 15-minute laning period, Jack and Liu Qingsong died 8 times together, and only gained one kill. The result was accidentally replaced by the anti-tower when Little Peanut jumped over the tower to kill.

If in a normal professional game, the bottom lane was caught like this, you can already think about how to play the next game.

Lin Ran felt numb as he looked at the Rat King with Hurricane + Sheep Knife + Attack Speed ​​Shoes in 16 minutes.

But no one expected that the Rat King seemed to be obsessed with his operation in the last wave of team battles. This game was full of chaos. YM didn't need to worry at all. Pray would send it anyway.

He flew to death twice, gave away a bounty of more than 1,000, and also gave YM a big dragon. The Rat King gave up just now, stabilized himself, bought a stopwatch, and started playing group games seriously.

The two sides have the same economic balance, but when it comes to team battles, the lineup gap is still too obvious.

Jin Gong was suppressed too badly in the middle of the game. Even if he was very close to the wall every time he made a move, the E [Hook Rope] would not give Khan too much reaction time.

But Khan is a top professional player after all, and this little time is enough for him to operate.

Every time Qinggang Shadow kicks back at the second section of the wall, he can use the giant crossbow arrow of E [Devil's Judgment] to pin Camille firmly to the wall. Destroy takes a sip and uses his ultimate to chase and shoot her all the way. Jin Gong was beaten into a state of disarray.

At 30 minutes, Xibaren's CS hit barely exceeded 200. He only had three phases + bloody hands + cloth armor shoes. He couldn't even do Tiamat in order to save his life.

This developed Qinggang Shadow was cannon fodder in a group fight, and was easily caught up and killed by Vayne. Finally, Khan brought the double shields of Karma and Morgana. If he entered an uninhabited land, he could only use Shark Crazy. to describe.

Lin Ran replayed the entire game in his mind, trying to find a way to come back.

In the end nothing was found.

The Rat King is enough to give away. If Pray wasn't senior enough and didn't need to make money through evil ways, Lin Ran would have thought that he was the last card left by SKT's meritorious Shan Niruo in the LCK.

Xiaoyao ran back from the toilet and took a glass of Coke in his hand.

Hongmi and Gouba had already discussed the tactical arrangements for the next round and were writing and drawing on the summoner's whiteboard to express their thoughts clearly.

"We have decided to choose the blue side in the next game. I plan to directly reveal my trump card and lay a trap for KZ so that the opponent can jump into it..."

The hearts of several YM members were as calm as water.

They have been prepared for this for a long time. The tactics they have carefully studied have been implemented since the end of the spring split, but they have never found an opportunity to use them.

At the beginning, Hongmi wanted to see how far the team could go with its hard power. It has to be said that YM is indeed very good. They passed five levels and defeated six generals. It was not until the end of the last game that they fell into the dilemma of Qinggangying's system being cracked.

If you continue to hide your moves at this time, it is very likely that you will be able to hide your moves until the World Championships.

He decided to give KZ a big surprise in the next game.

…

"Get in line and go in!" the staff shouted loudly, trying to cover up the noise from the audience.

The YM group lined up in order of position, walked across the venue with paper cups, and went straight to the stage in the center area.

"It seems that everyone is in good condition," Miller followed the camera and took in the expressions of the YM players. "They were not affected by the defeat in the previous game."

"The main thing is that there is really nothing to be afraid of," Wawa was quite optimistic. "In the worst case, just ban Vayne and the problem will be solved."

"The gap in strength is difficult to make up, but this kind of black technology lineup is still relatively easy to deal with." He said.

After the two teams took the stage, there was not much free time, and the BP panel came into everyone's eyes again!

"YM chose the blue side and sent Luo to the ban position first..."

KZ, like the previous game, blocked Ezreal first.

For the second banned position, both sides chose Karma and Troll respectively.

"YM blocked the rock bird with the third hand..." Miller hissed, "Aren't you going to ban Vayne?!"

"KZ sent Crow to the ban position and also released Qinggang Shadow!" Watanabe took a breath, "This is to induce YM to continue to choose!"

Jin Gong's selection box didn't even have a blinking effect similar to a breathing light, so he directly locked Qinggang Shadow!

"Second lock!" Miller was a little anxious, "YM, you don't believe in evil!"

Everyone in KZ on the other side burst into laughter, and Khan locked onto Vayne instantly without saying a word.

In this game, he will continue to capture Qinggangying's lane!

Peanut then chose Olaf to ensure that his jungle area was strong enough.

"YM's second and third choice of policewoman Morgana is no problem..."

The last position in the first round of KZ was given to Verus.

"This is a rare game without Kai'Sa," Changmao lamented, "Compared to the policewoman and Verus, her laning ability is still a bit weaker."

The Rat King originally wanted to choose, but Hiari didn't believe him.

He was killed suddenly twice in a row, and no one knew what evil possessed him, which was completely opposite to his usual steady style.

No one will ever trust the Rat King's Kai'Sa again.

At least not today.

In the second round, KZ chose to ban the male gun and Qian Jue, fearing that Xiaotian would choose such a shooter to restrain Olaf again.

When the Garlic Bastard saw this scene, his mouth turned into a dazzling smile.

YM, on the other hand, blocked Braum and Tamu in an effort to limit Grilla's hero pool.

"KZ's fourth choice is... Lulu!"

Miller frowned slightly, and then reacted, "This combination is okay. Lulu paired with Verus, the laning ability is not weak, and the team battle will also greatly improve KZ's double-shooter lineup."

Liu Qingsong couldn't help but curse in a low voice when he saw this scene.

"Lulu and Karma are gone, Master Tie can't show off as a hero now." Xiaoyao also joked a few words, but when he saw Liu Qingsong starting to lick his lips and make a curse gesture, he immediately fell silent.

"Then on YM's side, only the mid-to-upper swing position and jungler are not locked in..."

Miller looked at Ryze in Jack's selection box and said, "In this way, YM's top and middle choices are exactly the same as those in the previous game."

"Is this to prove that the lineup I selected last time is okay?!"

【Heart-hardheaded? 】

[I’m convinced, if I don’t ban Vayne, I still want to choose Qinggang Ying? Your brain is crazy, right?]

[I think YM has a backup plan. How could it not change the formation after losing the last game? 】

The barrage was still arguing, but Liu Qingsong directly locked in the last choice!

"Lucian?!" The familiar shouting spread instantly, "YM, what kind of lineup is this?"

"Qinggangying jungle?"
