LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

"What's going on?" Lin Ran heard the argument and quickly opened the door to take a look, fearing that the two sides would fight.

The top laner No. 09 I saw this morning named Bai Jiahao was blushing and was arguing with the youth training coach. There was a group of people watching the excitement.

Seeing Lin Ran and Guo Hao entering the door, they all stopped.

The coach was the first to complain, "We just finished a training match and were reviewing the game. He refused to admit his fault!"

"I have no problem!" Bai Jiahao said with a pinched neck after being stared at by so many people.

But when he saw Lin Ran standing at the door, his voice became much lower unconsciously, probably because he didn't want to leave any negative impression on his idol.

Bai Jiahao is considered to be the person with the highest canyon ranking score in the entire youth training camp. He dares to go against the youth training coach because he has this confidence.

In the entire youth training camp, who else could the 60 players choose besides him?

Even if he is not selected, he can go to any LDL club for trial training based on his 1,300 points in the Canyon Top Kings.

People who have a way out always appear confident.

And Bai Jiahao, like many young people who have never had professional experience, feels that these youth training coaches are of little use.

Your score is lower than mine, why can you educate me?

No, let's try a solo game together?

He has the confidence to hang up these youth training coaches!

"Show me the video and start from the beginning." Lin Ran hadn't figured out the whole story yet, and couldn't make a conclusion about who was right and who was wrong.

Guo Hao was quick to help turn on the projector and projected the God's-eye view video of the training match onto the screen so that everyone in the room could see it clearly.

The news that Lin Ran helped review the training matches quickly spread throughout the youth training camp. Players who had no training tasks came to the camp after hearing the news, and the place was packed to the rafters.

Even several youth training coaches brought chairs and came over to observe and learn.

"It's okay, stand back and don't block in front of the curtain!" Guo Hao asked them to clear an open space.

Lin Ran put his finger on the fast forward key on the keyboard and jumped directly to 1 minute and 15 seconds from the moment the ten heroes left the spring in the video.

As usual, he wanted to see the initial eye positions of both sides.

But when he glanced briefly, he realized there were few details.

The ornament eyes were basically made randomly and had no tactical effect at all. Only one assistant had arranged the eye position in the grass of the opposite lane in advance, apparently trying to seize lane rights.

Lin Ran frowned when he saw it. The 60 players in the youth training camp were divided into 12 teams. Every afternoon to evening, 12 teams competed in two-by-two civil wars. To be honest, the amount of 5 training games a day was not counted even against the LPL teams. Missing - after all, IG only played 3 minutes of training in one afternoon during the most outrageous time. After BP entered the first level team of the game, they were given two kills, just Alt+F4.

However, with the support of this number of training games, and now that the camp is almost over, their initial layout is still very poor.

"There's nothing I can do about it, Sister Li," the youth training coach saw Lin Ran pressing pause and knew what the problem was, so he quickly explained, "I taught you some opening eye positioning skills during the review before, but this time They are all children who have no professional experience, and their thoughts are still stuck in the passerby bureau, and they have no such concept..."

Lin Ran had heard this sentence countless times from morning to now. When he heard this excuse again, he felt angry.

Who has had a professional career since they were born?

Don’t they all need someone to teach them?

What do you do?

In one month, you can’t even teach the opening eye position well?

Guo Hao has been with Lin Ran for three years. Looking at his expression at this moment, he knew that he was holding back anger. He quickly reached out and patted Lin Ran on the shoulder to signal him to calm down.

Lin Ran can be considered well-educated. He is not the direct leader of these people, and it is impossible for him to curse.

It's not necessary.

He just felt like he was wasting his time.

You run from Shanghai to Taicang and then back again at night. Why do you come here during the offseason?

Lin Ran had been hearing stupid and unhappy comments about the mainland coaching staff being outrageous. At that time, he thought the bottom duo was exaggerating and slandering them. After all, Han Yi and Bai Yue Ya had been getting along quite well before.

Although sometimes their ability is indeed lacking and they will be at a certain disadvantage in confrontations with top coaches, most of these disadvantages remain at the tactical level, such as reviewing and catching moles. There is nothing wrong with these two coaches.

Liu Qingsong didn't bother to explain at that time. He just said, "Everyone who understands understands, but I can't say much about what I don't understand. This matter involves too much."

Lin Ran now finally understands the trick of tearing open wounds and joking, "Mainland coaches are responsible for ordering takeaways." As expected of someone who has experienced many years of experience in the City Heroes Contest, he can be said to be well-informed.

Han Yi and Bai Yue Ya are already considered the best among domestic coaches in mainland China. Lin Ran, whose career has been smooth sailing, has been surrounded by top-notch equipment since his debut. Naturally, he doesn’t know what the bottom level of the professional e-sports circle like a youth training camp is like. .

He glanced at the youth training coach standing next to him.

What is the status of a youth training coach?

so awkward.

A little further up, in other top leagues, it may be said that the coaches have two skills. They can teach the star players, and the famous contracts can be signed for 7 figures.

Moving on, the City Heroes Competition is not even considered an entry-level career. Most of them are small workshops in Internet cafes. Coaches at that level also know that they are not strong enough, and they are just playing around.

But what about youth coaches?

He felt that the people in the City Heroes Competition were not worthy of being compared with him because they were the lowest level in the Tengji competition ecosystem. However, he couldn't get up, and he was stuck here because of his lack of ability. .

Many of these youth training coaches are veterans of games such as DOTA and Chenghai 3c. They do have some theoretical knowledge of MOBA, but their teachings are not systematic at all, and their guiding significance for these young people who have never played professionally is quite limited. .

Lin Ran sighed in his heart. Compared with developed e-sports regions such as Europe, the United States and South Korea, domestic youth training has not laid a good foundation. In the past few years, it relied on the hard power of players to compete in international competitions. From bottom to top, it was like look.

He took a set of simple microphones from Guo Hao, tried the microphone first, and then used a laser pointer to draw circles on the Summoner's Rift on the curtain.

"Watch position is very important. It can be said to be the first threshold to distinguish between professionals and amateurs." Lin Ran has come here. Although the quality of the players in the youth training camp is worrying, he still wants to teach something. At the very least, these 60 people’s trip to Taicang cannot be in vain. “Especially the layout of the field of view at the beginning is even more critical... After all, as the saying goes, a good start is half the success.”

"How about the opening eye position? Every game is not static. Let's look at the lineup first..." He pointed the red dot of the laser pointer at the hero boxes on both sides of the viewing angle.

Everyone in the room looked over.

Blue side: top laner Vampire, jungler Troll, mid laner Zoe, bottom lane Kai’Sa + Braum.

Red side: Top laner Jayce, jungler Scorpion, mid laner Ryze, bottom lane EZ+Tahm.

Bai Jiahao, who looked like a comedian, also pursed his lips and looked at the curtain intently.

Having played Jess in the last game, he also wanted to hear how top professional players like Lin Ran analyzed the game.

"On the top lane, Jess faced Vampire, and in the jungle, it was Scorpion versus Troll. This is a typical situation where the top laner is strong and the jungler is weak," Lin Ran said at this time after having received at least a thousand tactical reviews in the past three years. Naturally, he said this eloquently, "Look at the matchups between the middle and lower lanes, and think carefully about how to do the opening eye position?"

Bai Jiahao raised his hand and took the initiative to speak, "I can waste time and insert wards between the blue BUFF and the Demon Swamp Frog camp in the upper half of the opposite area before the army line comes out, so that I can see the early movements of the opposite jungler."

When he saw Lin Ran's gaze coming towards him, he puffed up his chest to make himself more eye-catching, "I, Jace, must be strong against vampires in the early stage. I'm afraid of being caught by trolls. This ward position can guarantee my safety..." "

"This is what I did in the training match just now, and the enemy troll didn't even catch me in the early stage!"

Lin Ran nodded. Seeing his appearance, Bai Jiahao thought he was right. He grinned and smiled, while not forgetting to glance at the youth training coach who had taught him a lesson before.

As a result, Lin Ran drew a circle in the blue buff camp with a laser pointer, "If the troll blue opens and eats the magic swamp frog and three wolves again, it will rise to level 3 around 2 minutes and 30 seconds, and then turn around and run to the top road to catch you. what to do?"

"Ah?" Bai Jiahao didn't react.

"Now when a hero is at level 1, the accessory eye only lasts for 60 seconds. Even if you insert the eye for 1 minute and 30 seconds, the eye position will disappear in two and a half minutes." Lin Ran used a laser pen to draw a blue square jungle giant. Possible action routes for the demon, "The accessory you inserted between the blue buff and the demon swamp frog saw the troll finish swiping these two groups and go down. Could you have imagined that half a minute later he would rush to the road to gank?"

There were whispers in the room.

Bai Jiahao deduced this scene in his mind according to what Lin Ran said, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

This kind of vision deception feels ordinary to the audience from a God's perspective, but the player's first perspective is just like playing a horror game, which can make people tremble with fear.

"Yeah, that's not necessarily true..." Bai Jiahao is accustomed to being tough, "Does the person on the other side know where I'm doing my eyes?"

Lin Ran gave him a nonchalant look, "Do you think the top laner in the professional arena would stand under the tower and wait for the troops to come out?"

"Especially Vampire. This hero has no ability to seize lane rights against Jace. Naturally, there is no need to go online in advance. It is better to crouch in your own jungle to see if the opponent has the intention to invade. On the contrary, it is a better choice."

When the player operating the vampire heard Lin Ran's words, he immediately lowered his head in shame.

He went for a walk in the wild area, but in the end he stayed in the grass on the upper river for a long time. He didn't even see Bai Jiahao, who was leaning against the wall of the river from above and entering the upper half of his house for wards.

"...Then what should I do?" Bai Jiahao raised his voice, overcoming the soft whispers of the room full of people.

Lin Ran hit the small map with a laser pointer, "First of all, the red side bottom lane Ezreal and Tahm, your combination faces Kai'Sa + Braum in the early stage. It is impossible to grab the lane rights, and there are towers. Mu W [Feast] exists, and there is no possibility of being jumped over the tower..."

"Unless you don't learn W at level 3, Tam." Lin Ran said a cold joke.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cheerful.

"How could someone not learn W at level 3? Box, box, box..." Bai Jiahao almost wanted to scream.

Lin Ran continued: "Since the lanes are released into the tower in the early stage, Ezreal and Tahm Kench don't have to guard against ganks in the first three waves of troops. They can hand over their two trinket eyes and light up the opponent's jungler in time. Red zone.”

"In this way, the blue troll's opening position is basically locked," he looked at Bai Jiahao again, "You Jace will definitely be able to suppress the vampires in the early stage, as long as you have the skills... After pushing the two waves of troops, You go to the middle of Dalongkeng and the river on the upper road and click an eye."

"This eye must be a little deeper, otherwise the coverage will not be large enough."

Lin Ran clicked on the precise location on the map with a laser pointer, and then continued: "The red side mid laner Ryze beat Zoe, and after finishing the line of troops, he ran outside his Sharpbill camp to make a decorative eye."

"Since the troll does not have the ability to move, the two wards in the upper middle block all his attack routes in the upper half. As long as he dares to cross the river, you will all be warned in advance. This kind of wards can guarantee Top laner Jayce is absolutely safe in the top lane before his troops enter the tower and push back."

Someone in the room suddenly realized, "Ah...that's it."

"It's a waste of learning! It's a waste of learning!"

"And this kind of visual arrangement? See you soon!"

Lin Ran listened to the exaggerated praises from the youth training camp players and didn't know what to say.

These people are like a blank sheet of paper, they know nothing about the professional game, and the knowledge about eye position that they are accustomed to in LDL can be an eye-opener for them.

Lin Ran concluded in the end, "Time is limited, so I can't teach you more about eye position, but there are two points you should remember."

"First, in the first three minutes of the current version, everyone has only one accessory eye on the map, which means that the fault tolerance rate is reduced. After inserting the eye, there is no way to go back in time and space. You have no other arrangements before the fourth wave of minions arrive. Vision provides the ability to ensure your own safety, so be careful when setting your eyes, and thoughtfully place the yellow jewelry where you think it is most valuable!”

"The second point is that vision is a matter for the whole team. Only by linking multiple positions can the vision position be maximized. It cannot be done by just one or two people."

After he finished speaking, he took a sip of Nongfu Spring and continued to play the video.

He kept pressing the fast forward button with his fingers, staring at the small map, quickly skipping over worthless points.

"Every time the bottom lane returns to the city, you should communicate more with the jungler," Lin Ran said. Both the red and blue sides were looking at the problem. At this time, he discovered that when the blue Kaisha + Braum returned to the city, the jungle troll almost walked to the bottom lane. Half of the red BUFF camp was in the area, and he frowned, "When the troll comes down this time, there is nothing in the jungle. It is obvious that he wants to use the dragon. If you go back to resupply at this time, won't the jungle run away in vain?"

"And remember to buy a real eye every time you go back to the city..." Lin Ran saw that 15 minutes later, red Fang Ruiz bought a real eye, and couldn't help but remind him, "Unless you have the right amount of money, you can only buy a big one." piece, otherwise everyone would have to buy it.”

"For 75 gold coins, it is possible to buy you a life, and at the same time provide enough vision support for the team," Lin Ran said eloquently, "Now that the green jungle knife is gone, the support vision is under great pressure. Don't you think By buying real eyes, you are putting pressure on your own assistant. He has three fake eyes and one real eye, and he can't take care of it at all."

"Also, after a tower falls, you can put a thread in the ruins."

"This ward can be used to see the line of troops and the movement trajectory of the opposing hero. It can be used as a defense tower without attack power and health attributes. You should have used this when playing Rank, but you need to develop a habit when playing professionally. , this thread eye must be done..."

The youth training camp players wanted to record everything Lin Ran said, but since there were no mobile phones during the training period, they could only write quickly on A4 paper with a signature pen.

Lin Ran looked at this group of high-scoring passers-by who were listening attentively, and an idea came to his mind for no reason - if these people worked so hard when they were in school, they probably wouldn't go to the lowest youth training camp to find someone to enter the e-sports circle now. On the way.

To be honest, he watched most of this training match. Except for the No. 09 top laner named Bai Jiahao, the others did not perform well. It is estimated that there will not be many people left in this youth training camp until the end.

Although Bai Jiahao's pulling ability is not very good, it was already a dimensionality reduction blow in the training match. The red side's wild scorpion helped a little bit, and then he was able to expand his advantage. In 20 minutes, Jace had 7 kills and 1 death. He had already done it. A three-piece set came out.

This was Jace's strongest period. Lin Ran thought that there was no suspense in this game, but the blue side suddenly launched a counterattack!

The Troll Pillar cooperated with Zoe's Bubble to seal the road, the Vampire Spell-Binding Orb flashed to start the team, and with Kai'Sa's R [Hunter Instinct], he instantly came to the back row of the red square formation, forcing Tam to eat Ezreal, and at the same time Cut out Ryze!

Bai Jiahao's Jayce missed a QE booster cannon, and then he actually switched to hammer form and used Q [Sky Leap] to hit Kai'Sa in the face!

The next moment, the blue side's assistant Braum worked conscientiously, flashed W [Stand Up] and came to Kai'Sa. While raising the security door, he also used Q [Winter's Bite] to put Jace's passive!

Lin Ran knew instantly why Bai Jiahao was criticized by the youth training coach.

Well done!

With such an advantage, could Jace rush in and deliver?

Not only did he notice, but the other youth players in the room also noticed Jace's top-notch performance.

"Hahaha, is this Jace serious?"

"If he were to meet me in Canyon Ranking, I would have to use the keyboard to raise his ashes!"

"The jungle helped twice, and Jace, who was in a 7-1 three-piece set, suddenly died suddenly. It was amazing."

"Isn't this a stretch?"

The young and energetic youth training camp player spoke without restraint. Bai Jiahao turned red when he heard this, lowered his head and began to chew his fingers.

…

In the evening, Lin Ran said goodbye to Guo Hao and dragged his tired body back to Tongji Beiyuan.

Taking out the key and opening the door, he sat down on the shoe cabinet and shouted feebly: "I'm back!"

"Hurry up and wash up. I've prepared dinner. We're going to have hot pot today!" Su Cheng poked her head out of the living room.

Lin Ran looked at his girlfriend's hair carefully.

"How about it? Does it look good?" Su Cheng shook his head.

She had air bangs, her long hair was cut short, and her slightly curved black hair hung down on her shoulders, looking gentle and intellectual.

"She's quite beautiful," Lin Ran put on his slippers, "The main thing is that she's good-looking."

"You're really good at talking." Su Cheng laughed.

The sound of the hot pot gradually subsided. Lin Ran looked at the empty lunch boxes on the coffee table, lay back on the sofa, and stretched out his hand to touch his belly.

After eating and drinking, he wanted to take a nap now.

Su Cheng came to Lin Ran, let her boyfriend rest on her lap, and gently pressed his forehead with her long white fingers.

"I heard Brother Hao say you were very angry today?" she asked softly.

"Well..." Lin Ran was massaged to the point of making him sleepy, but when his girlfriend asked him, he honestly told everything that happened today.

"When I first arrived at the youth training camp, I saw the decoration of the office building rented by Tengjing. I thought they had spent a lot of money, but I didn't expect..."

Su Cheng changed positions and continued to press, helping Lin Ran relieve fatigue, "If you feel that the youth training is not good now, you can do it yourself when you retire."

"Huh?" Lin Ran expressed his doubts in a nasal voice.

"As soon as your name is put up, you won't be afraid that no one will come," Su Cheng explained to him, "As long as there are good seedlings, can't you just give them some guidance?"

"Don't tell me, it's really a good idea," Lin Ran was very interested. "The price of LDL is not expensive anyway. If you buy a team to train youth training, wouldn't you just go behind the scenes?"

"And it can guarantee that you will have something to do after you retire, and you will not be idle at home until you get moldy." Su Cheng rubbed it and started to be dishonest.

She rubbed Lin Ran's cheek with her fingers, as if she wanted to imprint her boyfriend's handsome face.

The hair tips with the scent of conditioner tickled the tip of Lin Ran's nose, making him uneasy.

Su Cheng was also addicted to playing. She grabbed her long hair with her hands and scratched Lin Ran's face.

"Do you want to..." she asked softly in her boyfriend's ear.

"I decided that I can't do it today." Lin Ran shook his head repeatedly.

After staying in the youth training camp all day, he felt exhausted both physically and mentally. He was in no mood to think about anything else and just wanted to have a good sleep.

"Hey..." After hearing this, Su Cheng didn't want Bawang to force himself, so he had to give up the idea and planned to go to the market to buy some kidneys tomorrow.

The next day, the closing ceremony of the youth training camp was successfully held.

Lin Ran sat on the podium and saw the 60 children below staring at him intently. He also realized that this was probably the last time he would meet most of them.

"It's the last day, so I'll just tell you the truth," Lin Ran held the microphone, "most of you have no way of entering the LPL stage."

A month of training has given these 60 players a certain understanding of their own strength.

At this moment, hearing Lin Ran ruthlessly tear open the wounds in their hearts, some bowed their heads and chose to compromise, planning to go back to continue their studies; some held their heads high and their chests high, determined not to hit the wall or look back.

"Then how can I play in the LPL?" Someone in the audience asked, "Do you get your approval, Brother Ran?"

"What's the use of me approving you?" Lin Ran laughed dumbly, "I said you can go to play LPL, so you can go?"

"Yes!" A fanatic fan answered.

"Let's talk about the simplest evaluation criteria," Lin Ran looked at them, "As long as you can crush all the competitors in the same position in the LDL, you can enter the LPL."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Some contestants spoke indiscriminately. After blurting out, they realized that their words were too harsh and quickly covered their mouths.

"That's true," said the offended Lin Ran. "This is the benefit of e-sports."

"As long as you are strong enough, you will always shine one day."

"Let me ask you a question..." Lin Ran started another topic, "What do you think is the most important quality that professional players should possess?"

"I think professional players need to be able to control their emotions well." Someone answered.

"That's right," Lin Ran shrugged, "It's a pity that there is no reward."

"Arrogance, laziness..." he said two words casually, "Whether it is daily training or competing on stage, negative emotions are taboo."

"Don't underestimate any opponent, don't waste your short career wantonly..."

"There is another question. I know that many people here feel that the operations of professional players are not exaggerated. They may feel that I can do it if I do it," Lin Ran admitted frankly, "This is indeed the case sometimes."

"Because the professional game emphasizes the stability of the operation, not the bells and whistles."

Bai Jiahao raised his hand, "But I think many professional players' operations are quite outrageous?"

"This has something to do with the sample size. Players who have played a lot of games will naturally have to perform hip-stretching operations; and the audience is watching from a God's perspective and can always find loopholes."

Lin Ran asked back: "In the past month, you have also watched your own training match videos. Do you feel that you have made few mistakes?"

He looked at Bai Jiahao, and the little fat man with a happy expression once again recalled the top-notch Jace.

Lin Ran gave a few final words of encouragement and prepared to leave.

Bai Jiahao rushed forward.

"Brother Ran...do you think I can do it?" His eyes were bright and full of expectation.

"I took a look, and the performance is indeed pretty good, and the score is quite high," Lin Ran pushed him to Guo Hao, "This is the manager of our training department. We can communicate with him about the trial training arrangements for the second team."
