LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

Lin Ran was calm and composed, waving to the three stands.

The audience facing the direction responded with cheers and applause with the greatest enthusiasm.

The sound wave erupted by thousands of people was not low at all, hitting Lin Ran's eardrums one after another.

Lee Sang Hyuk, who was standing on the side of the stage, glanced at him with envy in his eyes.

Ever since he was defeated by Lin Ran and resigned from the throne, he had not enjoyed such a grand welcome for a long time.

Faker is not a person who obeys his old age, but he was born in 1996 and is already 22 years old. In this year's league, he had to admit that his operational strength and reflexes were declining.

Young players such as BDD and Ucal challenged him again and again after he was past his peak. Lee Sang Hyuk could only support himself and maintain the last dignity of his former No. 1 Middle School.

Faker looked at Lin Ran's handsome face with a bright smile as he faced the bright lights and roaring cheers.

One day, you will lose too, right?

Just like I did back then.

Lin Ran was the last team representative to appear in the host region's LPL. Ren Dong checked the process time through the ear monitor and the backstage director, allowing him to enjoy cheers for more than ten seconds before he picked up the microphone:

"Now, the 12 teams have been assembled..."

He said loudly, and at the same time, the stage under his feet was flashing with gorgeous special effects, divided into inner and outer circles, and finally displayed in the inner circle were the logos of the three major competition areas of LPL, LCK and LMS.

Each of the three parties occupies one side, just like a group of heroes dividing the country.

In the outer circle of the competition area logo are the team logos of the four teams.

"The 2018 League of Legends Intercontinental Series Asia Competition starts now!"

The angle of the camera gradually zoomed out, and along with the brilliant lights, the large screen began to play the promotional video for this Asian competition.

Seagulls are flying happily above Dalian's characteristic beach.

Snake folded his arms and leaned against the street lamp, "Since S2, Asia has undoubtedly been the strongest region in League of Legends. So this Asian competition will compete for the strongest region in the world."

“Before, we were always one step behind, but this time the LMS region also has to prove itself...”

It turns out that serious and serious words, spoken in a crooked accent, always feel a little bit a bit bitchy and mean.

But the barrage’s focus is not on this.

[One move missing? Quite a few tricks, brother? 】

[If we were to pick out a single team, the Flash Wolves would still have a chance. In terms of the overall strength of the competition region, how bad is the LMS? How can we still prove ourselves? 】

[I just like to see them talking loudly and then being beaten violently]

Then the scene changed, and KT top laner Smeb also appeared in the promotional video.

He is well-proportioned and tall, with a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face. "In this intercontinental competition, we have to take back the name that belongs to us and rebuild the glory of LCK. It is our duty to do so!"

Lin Ranren arrived before he could say, "Every time I try to recast the glory, but never succeed. The LCK seems to have some misunderstanding of the word recast."

This comment made the audience burst into laughter, and the audience felt extremely relieved.

Two years ago, they were ridiculed by other divisions as being stupid and having too much money to buy Korean players.

But now, the situation has reversed, and they just want to say they feel comfortable.

Lin Ran, wearing a black and red team uniform, finally appeared in the camera. The dark-colored top made his skin fairer, and the two golden stars on his chest were extremely dazzling under the light.

"As long as I'm still standing here, LPL will always be the first division," he pointed to the gold star on his chest and said resolutely, "This is the best proof."

Hearing these words, the audience became excited again. Many fans waved the YM support banners in their hands, and the low sounds from the air vibrations lingered around the stage!

The big screen went dark again, and in the next moment, Remember and Rita in the commentary box appeared in front of everyone through the live broadcast signal.

"Welcome to Dalian!" I remember saying with great enthusiasm, "This is the live broadcast of the 2018 Asian Competition!"

After reading the spoken word advertisements for sponsors such as Mercedes-Benz and Kaifeng Cai, he continued to speak loudly:

"Twelve teams from the three major regions are gathered here. In the next four days, they will fight hard to reach the top of Asia!" He spoke very fast, and he probably put in a lot of effort in private. "It's worth mentioning. What’s more, the results of the group stage in the first two days of the intercontinental competition will determine who will go straight to the finals!”

Like last year, there will be no elimination in the group stage. After the teams compete against the same-ranked teams from the other two major regions, they will be ranked by division.

The first place will go straight to the finals on the last day, and the remaining two divisions will meet in the semi-finals.

Rita also nodded in agreement and explained by the way, "In addition to competing for the first finals ticket, the group stage also has certain reference significance for the three major competition areas to judge the enemy's strength. In the knockout stage, these will become the layout of the competition areas. important reference."

"The opening match is between LPL division YM and LMS No. 1 seed Flash Wolves. The two sides have met twice before in the mid-season championship, and YM won both times!"

I remember that while speaking, the director also gave a comparison of the league performances of the two teams in the summer split.

Series winning rate: YM100% (7 wins and 0 losses), FW100% (7 wins and 0 losses);

Games winning rate: YM93.3% (14 wins and 1 loss), FW100% (14 wins and 0 losses);

Baron Nash control rate: YM88.9%, FW100%

Average economic leadership per game: YM+7334, FW+9810

…

The luxurious data instantly makes the barrage explode!

【? ? ? ? 】

[Is Flash Wolf cheating? 】

[WDNMD is more dominant than YM, this is the true fantasy god! (dog head)]

[Flash Urine Wolf: Karsa’s departure has little impact on us]

[Good guy, I’m just going to be a shark in the FW fish pond, right? 】

Even though Rita was prepared, she was still stunned at this moment.

The Lightning Wolf row is 100% too scary for normal people to stand up to.

The person next to me remembers not being able to laugh at all, and tears were streaming from her stomach.

In his opinion, BUG data like Flash Wolf is not good news worth celebrating.

This means that other teams in the division pose no threat to them.

To be honest, it would be difficult for a normal professional team to produce such outrageous data when playing against a high-scoring anchor team.

The average economic lead per game is close to 1W. Unless it is given to EDG, it can be called an extreme exaggeration.

If Flash Wolves have the strength of YM, it will be useless to dominate the division. After all, international competitions can produce results.

But now everyone with a discerning eye knows that Flash Wolf is just a short general. He is quite good in the LMS region where the Dou Emperor bloodline is gradually drying up. When it comes to the World Championship, he may not even be qualified for the top ten goalkeepers.

After being beaten like this by the Flash Wolves of this strength, what will the remaining 7 teams in the LMS region look like?

I remember that after the mid-season, I got the news from internal channels that the LMS might undergo drastic changes. Judging from the competitiveness displayed in the current competition area, this will definitely not be a good change.

He was afraid that he would lose his hometown in the end.

"Both sides showed super dominance in the league this summer..." Rita felt that she had nothing to interpret. At present, it seems that she is invincible in the same division. It can only be related to the previous results of the two sides.

Remember to pick up the topic and continue, "Since Karsa came to our LPL division, this year the Lightning Wolves replaced the Korean jungler Moojin. Judging from the league data alone, he can be called a sea of ​​heroes. He used 10 heroes in the spring split. , even the Dragon Girl was brought into the professional arena by him."

However, both of them know that the LMS league data is simply incalculable.

If you move the 25-year-old Guijiaoqi over, he can probably put on AJ and use blind monk to kick the shoe marks on the face of these colored pencils.

After chatting for five minutes, the two of them failed to analyze anything nutritious. They were quite concerned about Liu Qingsong, who was back in battle today, and expressed his opinions on cervical spine health.

[Is there any more advanced data? You can just post the ward data, the commentary is really outrageous]

[Don’t be embarrassed, this is the director’s business, it really has nothing to do with the commentary]

[Director, that’s okay]

[Don’t you know what a comment box is? This is a lively place, just don’t talk to death]

【Tian:? ? ? 】

Fortunately, the director backstage reminded that the contestant seats were ready, so I finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed the camera to the commentary box.

"Now the opening match is about to begin!" The familiar wah-wah sound reappeared, and the Haier brothers were still responsible for the commentary in the first half. "Without further ado, let's enter the BP session first!"

With a crisp sound, the two parties lined up on both sides of the screen, and the BanPick panel appeared in front of all the audience!

"YM is on the blue side and bans Rock Bird first, while Flash Wolf chooses to ban Camille!" Miller was not surprised by this, "Both heroes are strong characters in the current version. "

"The second ban position, YM gave it to Yasuo, and FW blocked it..." The doll's voice suddenly rose, "Draven!"

"Isn't this too exaggerated?" He exclaimed, "This is not a version of a hero!"

The audience at the scene was also extremely surprised. After watching the game for so long, it was rare to see Delevingne banned in the first round.

Miller thought for a moment and explained, "The main reason is that the duo of Betty and Snake are not known for their laning. Most of the time, the support has to abandon the ADC to roam with teammates. If Jack gets Drai Wen, the pressure on the bottom lane is too great, and it will be difficult for Flash Wolves to free Snake."

There is another reason. FW head coach Zhan Ma had watched the game between YM and EDG before. Lin Ran was the assistant at the time. Redmi directly showed the duo of Thresh + Draven in the first round, almost giving it to iboy and meiko. Broken.

War Horse has no doubts about Liu Qingsong’s Thresh proficiency. This support, who is famous for his hook hero in the professional arena, uses Thresh with the Shiba Inu Draven, and his strength is not weak.

To be cautious, he decided to sacrifice a ban position.

"In the last ban of the first round, YM chose to block Dao Mei, but Flash Wolf is still hesitating..."

War Horse was pacing behind the FW player seats. There were two T1 mages, Enchantress and Zoe, left outside. He felt that if there was no blockade, both sides would get one each.

Now the problem lies with the jungle.

Should we target the wine barrels that have returned to a strong position after the version update? YM If the blue side grabs the wine barrels, they will be at a disadvantage.

"Ban the barrel." War Horse finally made his decision.

This time YM was the first choice without any hesitation.

The hoarse voice seemed to have traveled through time and space, ringing in Lin Ran's ears with majestic killing intent!

"Listen to the silence of extinction!" Jack also lengthened his voice and imitated the selection of lines.

Lin Ran wanted to ask, 'Why are you dying?', but then he thought, if this voice was cut out by some Harbin Beer operator, then he would be as dead as watching De Yunse, so he finally chose to remain silent.

However, through the soundproof headphones, he could vaguely hear the exclamations erupting from the stands on three sides.

"Sword Demon?!" Wawa was initially shocked, but through his superb acting skills, he was able to show off his full strength. He tore his vocal cords apart and showed his surprise to the audience through the microphone, "YM immediately locked up. !”

"This is Aatrox's first appearance after the revamp!" Miller was also excited. "However, the new Sword Demon's winning rate in the Korean server is currently worrying. YM must have some novel tricks!"

He still has a brain. Since YM dares to lock him instantly, he must have a plan.

That’s not how the whole thing works. In a game held locally, YM must be very clear about the public opinion of losing the opening game. Moreover, as the leader of the LPL division, they must also play a role model and get a good start. The meaning is self-evident.

Seeing YM locking Sword Demon, the barrage's reaction was even more intense.

[Is there anyone who is more stupid than a hero? 】

[To tell you a joke, the Sword Demon casts three Qs, and he has to lock himself in place for 3 seconds]

[There was a post on Kangba before that said ‘YM chooses Sword Demon to live stream Swallowing’. That person should be watching the live broadcast, right? Today, you, the little troublemaker, will satisfy your request to eat and drink.】

[I have a suspicion that YM saw that post and chose the Sword Demon]

The other three teams staying in the lounge of the LPL division also cheered up, wanting to see how credible Redmi's pre-game analysis was.

Is the Sword Demon that strong?

The War Horse and Flash Wolves members on the other side of the stage also had the same idea.

They frowned and were puzzled.

"...Fengtang, what do you think would be better in the middle?" Zhan Ma couldn't figure it out, so he just ignored it and looked at his mid laner Maple, "Zouyi or LeBron?"

Fengtang thought for a moment, and realized that both of them were his favorite heroes, and their version priorities were the same. "LeBron, the sword demon on the other side is very stupid. I can pull him with a chain in a team battle."

War Horse has no objection, and then he takes down the troll for Moojin. In team battles, he can use R [Strength Supremacy] to plunder the Sword Demon's health, making Aatrox unable to maintain tankiness, and he can also use E [Pillar of Ice] 】Restrict the bulky sword demon.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Coupled with the flexible and controlling trickster enchantress, War Horse will disgust this sword demon to death today.

Want to take action on us? dream!

"YM immediately locked in the Xia Luo combination," Miller commented truthfully. "This combination is now pretty good, and the Flash Wolves won Lu Xian with the last pick in the first round!"

It is worth mentioning that Lu Xian also received a small weakening in version 8.13 - the damage bonus of R [Baptism of the Holy Spear] to minions has been cut, making it increasingly difficult to clear minions with a big move.

It seems that the impact is not big, but for a position like the middle lane that requires extremely high laning rights, Lu Xian's situation is a little embarrassing. Currently, more players prefer to rearrange Lucian back to the bottom lane.

"In the second round of banning, Flash Wolves first sent the only remaining strong mid laner Zoe to the ban position, while YM chose to block Lucian's good partner Braum..."

In the remaining ban position of both sides, War Horse disabled the eternal nightmare that Lin Ran had previously used to deal with the Enchantress - this hero turned off the lights and teleported thousands of miles to kill people. If the snake wanders away and Betty is left to develop alone, the nightmare can withdraw money at will. , absolutely cannot let it go.

Hongmi's idea is simpler, buying a house in the ban position for the captain who is good at Fire Dragon Hanabi.

"Fourth choice for FW, take auxiliary Leona first!"

Sunshine Girl is Luo's traditional counter position, and she is full of control, and her roaming gank ability is very powerful.

Hongmi and the team members discussed the selection of heroes for the next two selections. The audience could see Lin Ran chattering under the camera.

Until there were ten seconds left in the countdown, YM finally decided on his final two choices.

"Rize and Kindred..." Wawa hesitated for a moment, "Isn't YM's lineup a bit fragile?"

Miller thought the same way, "Basically, the Sword Demon is holding me up from the front. If you get sucked in by the Troll in a team battle, it would be really painful."

The war horse finally gave Hanabi the unparalleled swordswoman who was relatively easy to defeat the sword demon.

When the two sides changed heroes, the two commentators discovered something was wrong.

"Is this Sword Demon going to be played by Brother Ran?" Wawa's tone was extremely exaggerated, "Mid laner Aatrox?!"

"It's true." Miller saw the countdown entering the last 20 seconds and knew that the two sides could no longer change heroes. "Jingong uses Ryze to defeat Sword Girl. This is a more comfortable matchup!"

From player to coach, Flash Wolf's expression was as solemn as water.

YM's swing caught them off guard.

Because they can't replace the shunt.

You can’t play LeBron in the mid lane with Sword Lady in the mid lane, right?

Even if the middle and top two are very adaptable to changing lanes, most of the early role of the hero Enchantress will be cut off.

After all, LeBron is a character who emphasizes roaming. If she is placed on the top lane like an isolated island, she will become a simple lane-rushing hero.

"It's okay, I, LeBron, can beat him, don't worry." Fengtang pinched her fingers and spoke firmly, asking her teammates to believe in her for once.

A hero as flexible as Enchantress can’t just walk a dog?

The war horse patted him on the shoulder, "Remember, free Moojin and Snake first, and then go on the road."

"I know." Fengtang said in a Wanwan tone.

With the countdown officially over, the lineups of both sides have been determined as follows.

Blue square YM: top laner Ryze, jungler Qian Jue, mid laner Sword Demon, and bottom lane Xia Luo.

Red square FW: Top lane Sword Lady, jungle troll, mid lane Enchantress, bottom lane Lucian + Leona.

"Let's see what surprises Brother Ran will bring us in the first set of the new version of Sword Demon!" Miller said loudly, trying his best to arouse the mood of the scene.

Summoner's Rift has arrived, and the audience has already been unable to contain their inner restlessness and burst into an astonishing cheer.

"YM, come on!!"

Although the venue was empty, there were still fans who took the lead and shouted, filling the place with their voices.

The other fans who followed behind expressed their support for the home team with noisy voices!

"Brother Ran brings Electrocution, Taste of Blood, Ghost Poro and Ultimate Hunter, and his secondary systems are Chrysalis and Resurrection..."

When the new Sword Demon makes its debut, the first thing to focus on is naturally the runes and equipment. "Dolan Sword + Potion, Brother Ran is very confident. Can he withstand the consumption of the long-handed Enchantress without Dolan Shield?"

The doll is still a little skeptical.

"Both sides have no plans to invade at the first level. Xiaoyao's Qianjue plans to brush from the bottom up, taking advantage of Gongzi Gorez's early push advantage to protect his river crab; Moojin is going in the opposite direction from top to bottom."

For the troll, the uncontrolled Sword Princess is definitely not the priority to help. It is a good choice to help the lower and middle groups to open up the situation first, and then roll the snowball up.

Before Lin Ran came online, he first hid in the grass on the middle road and cast a Q [Darkborn Blade], and then when the skill casting window was about to end, he waved a second Q before leaving the grass and being exposed in front of Fengtang.

The director switched the camera to the middle, "Brother Ran is very arrogant in his positioning. This is because Ming Huanghuang wants to exchange blood with Enchantress!"

Fengtang was furious when she saw this scene.

Who do you look down on when you bring a Dolan sword to fight with a long hand?

Immediately launch a basic attack and step on it with W [Shadow's Trace].

His calculations were very loud. In the first stage of Sword Demon's Q [Darkborn Blade], only the outer edge of the blade has high damage. If he uses the rush skill to deal damage to his face, Sword Demon cannot win by exchanging blood.

But who could have imagined that the moment he rushed over, the sword demon jumped in the air, picked up the heavy sword and made an action that was very similar to the mountain-shattering and earth-shattering action in Poison Milk Powder!

It's the third darkin blade!

This bitch had planned it in advance, seducing him to come forward and exchange blood!

Cunning villain!

Fengtang was horrified, but he no longer had the ability to retreat. He could only watch as he ran into the core sword domain of the Sword Demon like a moth to the flame!

Extra damage jumped out, and there was also a knock-up effect. Aatrox's sword passively [Death Granting Sword Aura] stabbed LeBlanc!

In the blink of an eye, the Enchantress' blood volume dropped by 1/3!

Fengtang drank the Corruption Potion, and the [Time Warp Tonic] restored a small amount of blood. She and the Sword Demon exchanged A again, triggering their respective electrocution effects.

Since Aatrox is a heavily armored warrior, he is much ahead of Enchantress in terms of basic attributes.

Therefore, this wave of exchanges seemed to consist of two basic attacks and one electric shock with one skill, but Lin Ran gained a lot of health.

"Oh my god, why is Sword Demon's Q skill so good again?!" Wawa discovered a blind spot.

Not long after this wave of blood exchange, the sword demon once again wielded the darkin blade and began to chop at the minions.

This cooling time was much shorter than he expected!

Since his skills had not yet improved, Maple huddled in front of the tower and did not dare to move too aggressively, but his palms were sweating.

Sword Demon had just logged into the official server not long ago. Fengtang had always thought that he was the top laner, so he hadn't practiced much and didn't know much about the small details of some skills.

Lin Ran's series of operations just now reminded him of another old hero - the Exile Blade Riven.

Indeed, as many players have said, the new Sword Demon is very similar to Riven, and it looks like he is wearing a layer of skin.

Both Q skills are cast in three stages, and the cooling mechanism is almost the same.

When Riven goes online at level 1, she can get stuck with Q—maximize the duration of each Broken Wing Dance to the end before casting it.

Since the skill cooldown timer is calculated from when the first Wings Dance is cast, old Riven is basically stuck at level 1 before the last Wings Dance comes online.

After the knock-up effect, I have the extra damage of the passive [Rune Blade] in my hand, and the new Q skill is about to get better, and I can still hit another set of output.

This is very advantageous in level 1 duels.

The same is true for this version of Sword Demon. The cooldown timer of Q [Darkin Blade] has not been changed to be settled from the end of the third period of Q casting or skill casting window. It is the same as Riven, and it is calculated from the first period of skill. The calculation starts after the casting is over, and Q can also be stuck in theory.

Lin Ran used this technique. Before going online, he used Q [Darkborn Blade] to trigger the cooldown timer, and then used the time limit to come up and sell blood to seduce Fengtang.

The result was that he won this round of blood exchanges.

In the early stage, the CD of Enchantress Demonic Shadow is very long, and before handing over the skills to get much profit, Maple instantly fell into passivity and could only lose the right to the middle lane.

Lin Ran pressed the Tab panel and saw that Fengtang brought the standard electrocution + enlightenment secondary runes of Enchantress.

In other words, LeBlanc has no extra health bonus.

The enchantress who produces the corruption potion at the first level only has more than 500 blood points, and is extremely fragile.

"The river crab refreshed in two minutes, but Xiaoyao was not very lucky, and the first mark was painted on the lower river channel!"

The Garlic Bastard clicked his tongue and could only accept it obediently. After eating the river crab, he went into the opposite Ueno area to fight back.

After Lin Ran pushed through the second wave of soldiers, he placed his first jewelry eye on the outermost position of the grass in the lower river.

There is no false vision here. Junglers like Troll, who have no movement skills, must be exposed to their sight if they want to pass through the river.

After Enchantress reached level 3, she finally became bolder and dared to step forward to exchange blood with her explosive skills.

Lin Ran took a set of Enchantress WEQ's output, and after the electrocution fell, he knocked off the medicine bottle and still had 50% of his health left.

He did not let go of Fengtang. The sword cooperated with the passive, and knocked away a bottle of corruption potion and a biscuit from Enchantress. Now Maple also had half of his health left.

"Brother Ran did a good job in exchanging blood!" Wawa did not hesitate to praise him, "He is not inferior to the nimble Enchantress!"

Lin Ran was still observing various details on the battlefield.

The second cookie will not appear until 4 minutes later.

It was then close to the sixth wave of troops...

He glanced at the timestamp in the upper right corner.

Now the fifth wave of soldiers is about to be processed, less than 3 minutes and 50 seconds have passed, and Moojin's troll ran to the bottom lane and got stuck in a misplaced time difference to catch Jack.

Lin Ran felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Because Fengtang had just exchanged blood with him using skills, Enchantress lost her ability to push the line. Lin Ran, who had been promoted to level 4, pushed the fifth wave of minions into the middle tower.

Then he took action decisively.

Q [Darkborn Blade] swung out, and then used E [Shadow Charge] diagonally forward, hitting the enchantress with the outer edge of the blade!

This version of Sword Demon E also adds attack power after casting, causing the damage of this blade to be a bit high!

The bright red damage number jumped out, attracting the hatred of the defense tower. At the same time, Fengtang also panicked!

Are you going to jump over the tower just now?

Crazy?

"Brother Ran wants to jump over the tower and kill?!" Miller was horrified. "After the first darkin blade hit, W [Evil Fire Beam Chain] also successfully hit the Enchantress!"

Sword Demon's Q1E+W combo is basically never empty, and he just took advantage of the short gap when Fengtang was knocked away to continue another period of control.

"The CD of Enchantress's W skill is too long and has not improved yet. Fengtang knocked down the last bottle of corruption potion, and the time warp tonic instantly restored half of the supply. She turned around and wanted to use Q Malicious Seal + E [Phantom Chain] to tie the sword magic!"

Aatrox, controlled by Lin Ran, took a step forward and swung out the second darkin blade. The extremely wide blade hit the Enchantress who had no ability to escape!

"Two sections of Q outer edge damage, plus electrocution damage, the Enchantress' health is about to bottom out!"

The next moment, the sword demon jumped in the air and used all his strength to slam the heavy sword down!

The evil fire chain took effect, and the Enchantress was forced to move to the center, just hitting the center of the last darkin blade!

A bright red number popped up, and the enchantress died suddenly on the spot without even flashing it!
