LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

A quarter of an hour later.

Letme rushed into the dormitory building like flying.

His expression was no longer decadent and depressed, replaced by an extremely excited smile, with the corners of his mouth raised crazily, making him look like an old rival of Batman.

It's really a bit annoying to see this kind of expression late at night.

Su Cheng, who was standing in the hall, subconsciously took two steps back when she saw this scene.

It wasn't until Lin Ran walked in that she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" She couldn't hide her worry, and was very concerned about the conversation between the two just now.

Originally, Su Cheng was afraid that her boyfriend and Letme would have an argument if they went outside the dormitory to talk, which would escalate into physical violence, so she waited here specifically to stop them immediately just in case.

She even thought of her words of advice - don't fight me anymore!

"It's okay," Lin Ran said in a brisk tone. Watching Letme run into the elevator, he focused on Su Cheng, "The two of us talked about the next tactical arrangements and figured out a way to make him more harmonious with the other four. Cooperate with your teammates and try to avoid a situation like today where the game was ruined due to miscommunication between the top and jungle."

"It's a good thing for both sides."

Su Cheng took his hand and pressed the elevator button, "What is that method?"

She was still a little curious.

"I have used YM many times before..." The elevator door slowly opened, and Lin Ran asked his girlfriend to go in first, and he followed closely and stood side by side with her, "Four for two."

"Ah?!" Su Cheng's surprise was palpable, "Are you serious?"

"This tactic is completely inappropriate for the current version!"

The four-pack-two style of play that YM is good at was cut to the point of being half-dead by fists this year.

First of all...the bounty of the first-blood tower has been reduced by 100, which directly leads to a reduction in the income after four packs of two.

Secondly, the neutral resources in the upper half of the area are currently more important, and the criticality of the Canyon Pioneer is self-evident. The strategic focus of the four-pack-two strategy is undoubtedly in the lower half, and the Dalong Pit cannot be taken into account at all.

In addition, there are currently many strong warriors in the top lane. If you choose to go to the bottom lane with four packs of two, you will be sacrificing the development of the top laner in disguise, and you may raise a father.

Finally, the bottom lane is really not good at the moment. Edisi has been reduced to a pendant. It is useless to support him with four packs and two. He is not enough to be chopped by the Sword Demon with two or three swords.

A variety of reasons have combined to make the four-pack-two gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

YM has rarely used it in previous games. It does not use it as a regular tactic. It only puts its troops in the bottom lane when the opportunity is very good.

Because the four packs of two require the jungler and the mid laner to go to the lower half to encircle and suppress them. If you ignore the three, seven, twenty-one, and take the jungler to the bottom lane after pushing the middle route, the entire upper half will be empty.

With only the top player guarding the top half, the opponent's jungler can literally roam in the jungle.

Su Cheng didn't understand her boyfriend's thoughts. Why did he use this almost eliminated tactic?

As the elevator slowly rose, Lin Ran explained, "That's what I thought... Letme and Xiaoyao can't cooperate at all. Their brain circuits can't reach an agreement at all."

"If we continue to play top and jungle combinations, the team's chances of winning in the Asian Games will definitely be low."

Su Cheng nodded in agreement. It can be seen from today's 10 training games that there is a very big problem between the top and jungle pairs.

Xiaoyao's playing style is unique, which is why he couldn't play jungle core before. He is more accustomed to building advantages for other teammates rather than letting himself roll the snowball in the jungle.

The same goes for Letme.

I can only say that the two of them are such a team.

If two people with different playing styles come together, there will definitely be nothing good to eat.

"Since the upper and jungle can't cooperate, it's better to let Xiaoyao and I play in the middle and jungle," Lin Ran said softly, "If we use four for two, at least everyone will be familiar with it."

Needless to say, the YM quartet has been using this tactic since S6. This is an ancestral skill. The midfielder and the jungler are connected to cross the bottom lane defense tower. It feels like coming home.

Letme can also play by himself. Just like when Karsa came on the scene this spring, he was left alone. As long as the jungler is not available, there is no need to worry about problems with cooperation with Xiaoyao.

The four-pack-two tactic can basically eliminate the top laner from the tactical system. He only needs to do a good job in resisting pressure online, and OB can watch the other four people do whatever they want in the lower half.

"...What if Letme is defeated by the opponent's midfielder?" Su Cheng frowned slightly and looked for loopholes from the opponent's perspective.

She is not nit-picking but takes all possibilities into consideration.

If they get to the field, the opponent will also try their best to find flaws and flaws in their tactics.

"It's difficult." Lin Ran felt the elevator slowly climbing upwards, and his brain was spinning rapidly. "He is quite good at withstanding pressure. He may not be as good as Jin Gong, but he is still ahead of most top laners. "

"And we don't need Letme to support him. He only needs to take care of himself. Even if he is caught, he can still use teleport to make up for the line. His development during the laning period will not be missed too much."

When Lin Ran talked about rising, the fatigue in his voice was covered up by the rising tone, "As long as we can use four packs and two pushes to knock down the tower as soon as possible, let Letme change lanes to the bottom lane, and the top laner on the opposite side will be lifted." There won’t be any big storms.”

This is a very simple and easy-to-understand truth.

If the opponent's bottom lane tower is pushed down before the lane change period, the enemy's top laner will not dare to push the lane too aggressively. As long as his position crosses the river, he runs the risk of being caught - after all, there is no defensive tower behind him. Asylum, once ganked, can't even run away.

In other words, as long as Letme does not have a particularly big disadvantage in the mid-term, the defensive tower advantage provided by the team will allow him to develop in the bottom lane for 5 minutes with peace of mind.

After Baron Nash was born, it was time for a head-on battle. Letme came to join the team and get the Baron BUFF. No matter how strong the opponent's single point was, they couldn't push hard against the strengthened minions.

Su Cheng thought along her boyfriend's train of thought, and her brows gradually relaxed.

"One last question."

"you say."

"Four packs of two focus on the lower half, while the opponent focuses on the upper half. The heroes they produce will definitely be more useful than the ADC..."

The failure of the dog-raising tactics used by Uzi today is still bloody before his eyes. The formed three-piece shooter looks like a school belle in front of the warrior with black cut blood hand and resurrection armor.

"No, no, no," Lin Ran denied, "I didn't say I wanted to raise an ADC."

Su Cheng looked slightly surprised.

"This new set of four packs of two," he looked at his girlfriend, "is for me."

"As long as I support my economy and have better equipment than the opponent's top laner, I can lead the team to win."

When he said this, Lin Ran's tone showed full confidence.

Nowadays, the hero pools of the middle and upper positions overlap a lot. Heroes such as Sword Girl Ryze and others can all swing in a single lane.

If Lin Ran chooses these heroes, with the equipment ahead, the opponent's top laner won't be enough for him.

After hearing her boyfriend's explanation, Su Cheng looked at him deeply, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth unconsciously.

A ding sound came, and the elevator reached the fourth floor. What came into view was a corridor with walls painted white. Through the doors and windows, you could see the warm yellow lights coming from the rooms on both sides.

It was as silent as last night.

The players were naturally in a bad mood after losing a day's training match, and were not in the mood to laugh or play. It looked like they planned to lie down and rest after washing up.

Lin Ran's room was very close to the elevator. After saying goodbye to his girlfriend, he took out his key and opened the door, peeked in and stepped out.

Su Cheng turned around and saw Lin Ran staying where he was, and asked curiously.

"What's wrong?"

"The little bastard is taking a shower." Lin Ran had to wait while entering the dormitory.

Su Cheng understood, "Why don't you come and sit here?"

Lin Ran had no reason to refuse and followed his girlfriend into her room.

"...Your single dormitory is so cool." Lin Ran sighed as soon as he entered the room.

The dormitories are all standard. If you live alone, the space is very spacious, and you don’t have to queue up to take a shower or use the toilet.

Su Cheng slept on one of the two single beds, while the other bed was used to store clothes.

Two pairs of Anta sports short-sleeved clothes, a few pairs of trousers, and sports socks rolled into balls were all placed on the bed, looking a little messy.

"If you want to sit on the bed, help me clean it up," Su Cheng directed him to work. After turning on the air conditioner, he sat in front of the chair in front of the bed. "I'll grab the data from the last training game first."

"So hard work? You can do it tomorrow morning." Lin Ran found a clothes hanger, hung the short-sleeved shirts and trousers in the closet, and then stuffed the socks into the small drawer.

"My daily workload here is not heavy," Su Cheng said without looking back as he was busy opening the software and typing on the keyboard. "If I still put it off until ddl, it would look like I'm too..."

She tilted her head and found an adjective for herself, "Eating and waiting to die."

"I'm not here to travel to Shenzhen. Today's business is done today."

There are three analysts and three coaches in the team. Su Cheng doesn't need to study tactics this time. He can just finish his own data analysis and processing work.

Moreover, the imaginary enemies of this Asian Games are Chinese Taipei and South Korea, both of which are well-known players around the world and frequent visitors to the World Championships.

YM is not the only one who is already studying opponents for the World Championship.

RNG has been doing this work for a long time. Analyst CH has a lot of team and player information. Su Cheng only needs to process and fill in the existing framework, which saves worry and effort.

Lin Ran was lying on the bed, chatting casually with his girlfriend.

"I didn't want to use a four-pack of two at first," he looked at the dazzling light tubes on the ceiling. "A 41-point putt seems perfect to me."

Su Cheng first collected the movement trajectories of everyone in the training match and responded smoothly, "Indeed, I also thought about this method at first, but after careful consideration, I felt it was not practical."

Four-point push, this is the unique skill of Taipei Assassin Star. He won the S2 Global Finals with a single Leopard Girl in his hand. It was then continued to be used by Korean teams and has evolved into one of the classic tactics today.

If this tactic can be executed successfully, it will make the opponent very uncomfortable and pull him to the point of ecstasy.

But the requirements for players and communication are very high.

The first point is the "1" that is brought alone. It must be able to crush the enemy's combat effectiveness. If it cannot defeat the opponent in a duel, the line of troops cannot be brought out at all.

The second point is '4' on the front battlefield. The other teammates must hold back the opponent's large forces, and at the same time help the single lead point to lay out vision in the wild areas near the line to help grasp the enemy's information and avoid sudden double-team attacks in the split-push position. .

In this way, if the opponent wants to forcefully seize the single leader point, they will have to spend more troops, and they will be discovered in advance. The 41-point push of the single leader can remind the teammates on the front battlefield to seize the opportunity, and it is more critical to quickly gather together to capture it. neutral resources.

These two points are indispensable.

This is the reason why TheShy's IG can't play 4-1 point push.

His personal ability is completely sufficient, but the four teammates on the front battlefield always start fighting with the opponent, without giving him a chance to share the lead.

Moreover, this team's ward position has always been very flawed. When TheShy leads the lane, it's usually completely dark and he doesn't dare to go deep.

In addition, there is a communication factor. Although Jiang Chenglu can speak some Chinese now, it is still not enough. In many cases, he cannot feedback the information he has obtained to his teammates in a timely manner.

If Lin Ran's Asian Games team wants to implement the 4-1 point push tactic, the first problem it faces is that Letme can't play with a single hero.

Apart from Shen, his best split-pushing hero is Qinggang Shadow.

But unfortunately, because Lin Ran disgusted many people with Camille in the middle lane, Riot designers weakened her single-lane ability. Now Qinggang Ying has to be hung from a tree by a group of warrior heroes in the top lane. .

The single-player characters Letme can play are limited. Shen, the hero, is likely to be banned, and the number of games that can be selected is limited.

The second problem is that there are still some problems in the communication and integration between him and the other four people. Moreover, YM usually does not use four-and-one point push, and there are also certain problems in the execution of this tactic.

Lin Ran thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that four-one-point push was not as good as four-for-two.

The air conditioner hummed, Lin Ran emptied his mind, and his breathing became smooth and regular.

He was exhausted both physically and mentally, and just wanted to have a good sleep.

I just arrived in Shenzhen last night and slept for less than six hours in total. Today I have 10 high-intensity training matches plus replays, and finally I have to think about the tactical arrangements for the next training camp. Now I am in a state of confusion and can't cheer up.

Su Cheng was just about to talk about what to eat tomorrow morning when she turned around and saw Lin Ran lying on the bed with his eyes closed and walking peacefully.

She unplugged the power adapter, picked up her laptop and went to the balcony. She closed the door to isolate the sound as much as possible, and then started typing on the keyboard.

The moment Lin Ran was about to fall asleep, his phone suddenly vibrated twice, clearing away the sleepiness in his mind.

It was a WeChat message from Garlic Bastard.

|-|: [Where did you go to eat alone? I've finished taking a shower and you haven't come back yet? 】

He yawned, rolled over and got up from the bed, preparing to say goodbye to his girlfriend and return to his room, but found Su Cheng hiding in the corner of the balcony with his back to him, staring at the computer screen intently.

Lin Ran turned the door handle, and the sudden sound startled her. The computer on her lap almost fell to the ground.

"Aren't you asleep?" Su Cheng teased her black hair that was messed up by the summer wind.

"... Xiaoyao sent me a WeChat message. He has already washed it." Lin Ran shook his phone, "Then I'll go back first. You can wash up and go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Su Cheng responded and put the computer on the table. Seeing the fatigue that could not be concealed in her boyfriend's eyes, her heart suddenly softened and she opened her arms to embrace him, "Recharge your batteries!"

Lin Ran felt a warm body pressing against him, with the familiar smell of citrus shampoo, which made him feel extremely at ease.

Neither of them spoke, listening to each other's intertwined breathing.

He bent down slightly and rested his head on his girlfriend's clavicle. They stayed quietly for a while before letting go of each other.

"Do you feel better now?" Su Cheng asked in a low voice.

Lin Ran felt it for a while, and then told the truth, "I feel sleepier."

"...Get out of here!" Su Cheng was so angry that she kicked him.

The next day was still boring training.

Lin Ran found an opportunity to inform the other members of the coaching staff about the results of his communication with Letme last night.

After hearing about the four-pack-two concept, Abu's first reaction was that this plan was reliable.

As the former head coach of EDG, he admires the four-pack-two strategy very much. This free-to-the-road style of play is a perfect match for Guodian.

Moreover, Lin Ran has also kept pace with the times and added many new things to his tactics, making the four-pack-two more in line with the current rhythm of the game.

However, out of caution, he did not agree immediately, but asked the players to try it out in a training match first.

EDG went to play away from home today, and were still on their way to the hotel in the afternoon; while IG had to face SN at the Super Brand Plaza in Shanghai. They got up at noon to clean up and then ran to the venue. Naturally, they didn't have time to make an appointment with them; RW even more Declare a holiday.

Based on this calculation, the only training match target for the Asian Games team is WE.

Bai Yueya happily took charge of BP for the home team he played for, and told Xiye that he could help WE gain confidence today.

After all, the results of yesterday's training match of 2 wins and 8 losses were still fresh in his mind, and Bai Yueya believed that today's winning rate would not be much higher.

As a result, before dinner in the evening, Bai Yueya looked at the training match results recorded on the whiteboard and felt bad.

4:1WE

In 5 training games, WE only won one game.

The winning rate of the Asian Games team rose rapidly, and Xiye and others in Xi'an were dumbfounded.

What about finding confidence as promised?

bsyy are you kidding me?

I was almost beaten like a punching bag by Lin Ran!

Although the record against WE is not as valuable as the other three sparring teams, it is enough to prove the success of the new version of the four-pack-two strategy.

Long-lost smiles appeared on the faces of several team members.

Today's team's overall rhythm control is obviously much better than yesterday, and it is more smooth and coordinated.

Letme himself was very happy to withstand the pressure in the top lane, and the other four players frequently launched attacks around the bottom lane, and made great gains.

Jack was very excited. The positive changes that had taken place in the entire team gave him hope. "Let's just play like this. As long as we can perform at this level in the main game, I think there is a chance of winning the championship!"

Yesterday they were still struggling with whether they could qualify in the qualifiers, but today they are already eyeing the gold medal.

Letme looked at Lin Ran with a smile. He had not forgotten the biggest contributor who had brought about earth-shaking changes for himself and the team.

In the following days, the Asian Games team became more and more adept at adjusting tactics, and still maintained a high winning rate in training matches, and was even able to score 46 points with IG.

It is not easy for this temporarily formed team to achieve such a record.

The atmosphere in the training room these days is lively and relaxed, and everyone's faces are filled with happy smiles. Even Abramovich is beaming, feeling that he can deliver to his superiors.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

August 23rd.

Shenzhen Sports Team.

A total of 12 people from the League of Legends project gathered together.

The middle-aged person in charge finally reappeared after several days of hiding.

Next to him was a tall and straight man, who must have been in his fifties or sixties.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the psychological counselor of our women's basketball national team..."

The uncle took over the topic and said, "You don't have to be named Huang, just call me Teacher Huang."

"Everyone is going to leave tonight. I will take advantage of your training break to come over and give you a few words."

His voice is very calm, his tone is calm but powerful, and he sounds trustworthy.

Abu took the lead in applauding.

Others also said hello sincerely.

This is the treatment of the national team. It is difficult for them to enjoy it in normal times. It is a bargain.

The psychological counselor looked at everyone present and spoke slowly.

"Now the Asian Games is getting bigger and bigger, with more and more events."

"The Jakarta Asian Games you are participating in this time has a total of 40 events, of which 32 are Olympic events and 8 are non-Olympic events..."

"Our e-sports belongs to 40+1. It was won by Chairman Huo of the Asian E-sports Association. Although it is said to be a performance, everyone from top to bottom attaches great importance to it."

"Because this is a test, the first appearance at the Asian Games will not be counted in the medal list. By the Hangzhou Asian Games four years later, e-sports may be counted as an official event."

After finishing the opening chapter, he went on to describe the problems that players may have.

"To be honest, I am not in the e-sports industry, but it is similar to traditional sports. Different paths lead to the same end. The main reason why athletes suffer psychological pressure is the fear of losing."

There was silence in the audience, everyone was listening quietly.

"This is inevitable. If people have the desire to win, they will inevitably develop emotions similar to worrying about gains and losses."

"I'm not here to ask you to put aside these psychological burdens, but to remind you that athletes from other teams will also have such thoughts about what you are concerned about."

“And it continues unabated.”

"You are afraid of losing, and your opponent is also afraid of losing. Sometimes people just don't have the strength. If you hold on for a while, he might be the one who can't stand it..."

The psychological counselor talked eloquently for about half an hour before leaving, and then turned to talk to King of Glory International Edition.

At six o'clock in the evening, Lin Ran and others had their last meal in the canteen of the sports team.

Other athletes participating in the Asian Games have already gone to Jakarta, leaving behind a group of children who have not yet made a name for themselves in the sports world.

"Come on, handsome brother playing games!"

While eating, there was a little girl practicing martial arts who encouraged Lin Ran.

A group of team members at the back were stunned when they heard this. They were inexplicably funny and started laughing.

Lin Ran couldn't help but agreed, picked up the tong and took out a portion of rice rolls for himself.

At seven o'clock in the evening, they left the physical training brigade and headed to another neighboring city.

Hongkong.

The reason why I didn't go directly to Jakarta was that there was still a qualifying match.

League of Legends is the e-sports project with the largest number of participating teams in Asia.

The competition system stipulates that the group stage is divided into two groups AB, a total of 8 teams.

Therefore, a screening process is required beforehand.

The less powerful teams will have to go home here.

Not even a chance to go to Jakarta.

"In order to ensure that it is not monopolized by East Asia, the organizing committee has divided the qualifiers across Asia into five regions based on region."

Abu tells them the rules in a Hong Kong hotel room.

"They are East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia. The host Indonesia has guaranteed a place in the group stage and will not participate in the qualifying competition."

"Of course we are in the East Asia Division, with South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, China, Macau, China and Japan in the group."

"I'll go..." Shiba Inu gasped, "East Asia is not only the strongest in Asia, but also the strongest League of Legends in the world."

Abu nodded in agreement, "That's right, but we are also given the most qualifying spots."

"There are three in total. I think everyone understands that there is no problem for us to qualify and enter the group stage."

Excluding Taipei, South Korea and mainland China, the remaining Japan is a wild card, and Hong Kong and Macao are also about the same strength.

It can be said that the gap between the top three and the bottom three is very obvious, and it can even be called a gap.

"In the qualifiers starting tomorrow, don't expose too many tactics. Just be able to qualify. Just take it easy."

The Shiba Inu laughed heartily, "We are familiar with each other, let's play with snakes for some show effect!"

The atmosphere within the team is now harmonious and harmonious, and it is no longer the negative state it was on the first day of training. Letme is still discussing with his teammates whether he should play Teemo.

A dreamless night.

Lin Ran recharged his batteries and followed Abu to the 7th floor of the hotel with his backpack on his back.

There is no specific venue for the qualifiers. The organizing committee rented a floor of the hotel to hold the competition, so the environment was a bit rough.

However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the contestants.

The appearance of e-sports stars such as Lin Ran and Lee Sang Hyuk made them excited and they crowded forward to take photos and sign autographs.

It would be great to even have a word with the two of them.

The qualifiers have become a star-chasing conference.

In the end, it was the staff of the organizing committee who came forward to save Lin and Li from the fire.

"First log in to the competition server account, and then change the ID!" Abu shouted, holding a form that recorded the players' competition server account passwords for this Asian Games.

Lin Ran quickly entered the account information and logged in. After the verification was completed, it was confirmed to be correct.

He took a deep breath and typed out his new ID letter by letter.

CN Ran

Other teammates also showed some piety.

Rao is a professional player who has experienced hundreds of battles and is calm in the face of danger. At this moment, he also looks a bit like he has never seen the world.

The symbolic meaning brought by the abbreviation CHN is far beyond what can be compared with club competitions.

"Please enter the customized game room. The opponent in the first game is the Hong Kong team of China. It will start when you are ready."

The referee behind him glanced at the manual and read according to the script.

Ten players from both sides were pulled into the room one after another. After confirming that the team's voice system was not malfunctioning, the referee gave the order to start BP.

The familiar clanging sound of metal echoed in Lin Ran's ears!

The Chinese League of Legends Asian Games team has taken the first step in this competition!

There will be more tomorrow. I also know that the updates in the past two days have not been very good. The main reason is that the daily content cannot be written quickly. It will be much better when I enter the competition tomorrow.
