LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the eight teams that entered the main competition boarded the plane smoothly.

The Indonesian organizing committee is not that kind and not that wealthy. They arranged economy class for all the players.

Lin Ran was overwhelmed, but the Saudi Arabian players obviously couldn't accept it.

The poor in this country have a lot of money in their pockets, and the rich have too much money to spend. However, most of the athletes selected to participate in the Asian Games have rich families. When they came to Hong Kong, they paid for their first-class flights out of their own pockets, and now they have to fly nearly 5 Hours of economy class?

Can this be tolerated?

They clamored to upgrade, but because Jakarta recently hosted the Asian Games, many people rushed to Indonesia to watch the games, resulting in no spare business class and first class seats on the plane.

The unsatisfied Saudis made the already crowded cabin a little noisy.

Lin Ran asked for a blanket and was going to put it on him and close his eyes to rest, but reality didn't allow it and he was inevitably upset.

Su Cheng, who was sitting next to her, was playing with a selfie stick she bought online. The girl had never used this thing before, so she thought it was quite novel. It was a prop needed to be a war reporter, and it allowed her to do live broadcasts without having to hold her phone all the time.

The structure of the selfie stick is not complicated either. Su Cheng put it away after playing with it for a while.

She happened to turn her head and saw Lin Ran slumped on the seat with a slight frown on her face. She understood clearly and took out a pair of Bluetooth headsets from her backpack.

"The sound insulation effect of this one is very good, do you want it?" Su Cheng asked softly.

She usually bought this to practice English listening, but she didn't expect it to come in handy here.

Lin Ran took the headphones from his girlfriend and put them on his head after the plane took off, blocking out the dissatisfied murmurs of the Saudi passengers in the cabin.

"Just find the song you want to listen to." Su Cheng handed over the phone and took out earplugs and a copy of "Mathematical Physics Equations" by Academician Gu Chaohao from his bag.

This course will not be offered until next spring. She will go to the National University of Singapore for exchange and will definitely not be able to make it, so she will simply study part of it by herself through online classes.

Lin Ran looked at his girlfriend who was in an immersive learning state and did not bother her. He cut a song casually and leaned sideways by the window, watching the bustling night view of Hong Kong gradually drifting away from him.

The skyscrapers soaring into the sky gradually disappeared into the clouds. Lin Ran closed the curtains, dimmed the lights above his head, and curled up into a ball.

Since the Asian Games training camp half a month ago, he has felt that he did not get enough sleep.

High-pressure training and competition, coupled with traveling to and from many places in a short period of time, will inevitably lead to fatigue.

I slept until the plane landed.

With sleepy eyes open, I followed the flow of people out of the cabin, and the hot and humid air hit my face.

Carrying his suitcase, he wanted to join the other team members and coaching staff, but Jin Gong stopped Lin Ran.

Hongmi and Gou Ba stood beside him.

"How about we YM guys take a photo?" He said with great interest, "A photo of the Asian Games!"

When Lin Ran heard this proposal, he thought it was quite commemorative, so he pulled several other teammates back.

Su Cheng took the initiative to ask Ying to help take pictures.

The five players Jin Gong, Xiao Yan, Lin Ran, Jack, and Liu Qingsong and the two coaching staff members of Gouba Hongmi are all included in the camera.

Different from previous club photos, this time they did not wear YM’s black and red uniforms, but the training uniforms of their respective teams.

The orange-red of mainland China, the white of South Korea, and the light blue of Chinese Taipei are mixed together. This group photo looks colorful and gaudy.

The seven people in the photo showed their thumbs up in a classic thumbs up expression.

"Let's take another selfie," Su Cheng couldn't wait to try the power of the selfie stick. She used the selfie stick to hold her phone up high and shoot from top to bottom, making everyone stand in a group behind. "This time everyone You can do whatever you want!"

After masseur Jin Gong heard these words, he finally couldn't hold back his hands that were about to move and wanted to touch Xiaoyao's slender neck.

The Garlic Bastard already possesses the domineering spirit of seeing and hearing, and before the Xiba man's hand touched his body, he ducked forward smartly.

"Three, two, one..." Su Cheng counted down.

At the moment before his girlfriend pressed the shutter button, Lin Ran made a scissor gesture with his hands behind Su Cheng's head, which looked like rabbit ears.

The picture was frozen, and the eight people in the selfie were smiling brightly. Jack and Liu Qingsong were holding hands and making faces at the camera.

The photo was posted to the group chat of the YM training department.

Lin Weixiang was very dissatisfied with being abandoned alone at the Shanghai base.

My assistant is throwing coins: [If you win the finals, can you crowdfund to buy me a new mobile phone? Compensate for my injured soul】

Coca-Cola Salty Spicy Tofu Brain Sweet Zongzi Sweet Mooncake: [Damei, you are very good at your calculations. Someone from our three teams will always win the championship. Are you using a mobile phone for nothing? 】

Lin Weixiang is my eldest son: [Go to sleep, you can have everything in your dreams]

My assistant is throwing money: [It is impossible to sleep, it is already early in the morning in China, I have to seize the time to score points]

Lin Ran put away his cell phone, said goodbye to Jin Gong and others, and went to join the large army.

While the YM Club employees were taking photos, others were also busy. Uzi, Letme and Casa, three players from RNG, took photos together with analyst CH.

After a quarter of an hour of tossing, everyone at CHN finally gathered together again.

Abu stood in front of everyone and first emphasized the many matters that need to be paid attention to next.

"Jakarta, the temperature is 29℃-35℃, overcast to cloudy, northeasterly wind level 3, air humidity 68%..."

He used his mobile phone to check the local climate. "It's very hot here. Don't turn on the air conditioner too low when you sleep at night. Otherwise, when you wake up the next morning, there will be a big temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, which is not good for your health."

"When you leave the airport terminal, there may be some fans outside. Do not accept any drinks or food that are brought to you, and do not eat them if they are received. Whether it is intentional or not, the unknown substances mixed in them may have an impact on the urine test of the main game. Influence!"

Several team members nodded in response like chickens pecking at rice.

"One more thing, there may be reporters who will arrest people for interviews along the way. You should clearly see which country's media they are from, and then think about how to answer them. If the question is of a difficult nature, you can choose to remain silent."

"Our own media mostly ask some questions about the situation, and everyone should try to answer them as beautifully as possible..."

Everyone still understands this.

Even Letme, the least famous among the six contestants, is much more popular than the average contestant. Being interviewed and being interviewed is considered a basic operation.

Abramovich glanced at the memo on his cell phone to make sure he had not missed any key points before leading the team members out of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.

As he said, a lot of people gathered outside the terminal.

When they saw the CHN League of Legends team entering their sight, they swarmed up and surrounded the players.

In contrast, the members of the coaching staff were not well-known and did not receive much attention. Su Cheng easily broke out of the encirclement.

Looking back, five microphones were blasted into Lin Ran's face. If he hadn't been tall, he might not have been able to see his face - the Shiba Inu and Garlic Bastard next to him were like this, they were completely submerged in the sea of ​​people. .

"Five won't do, five won't do!"

Lin Ran moved a microphone from his mouth and indicated that he could only accept interviews from four media outlets.

Drought is a drought and waterlogging is a disaster. Only Duo Wan is doing interviews at Letme's side, but he wishes there were too many reporters here.

"Two days ago, the Chinese mainland team achieved a good result of 10 wins and 1 loss in the Hong Kong qualifiers. In this main competition stage, is the goal to sweep all the teams and win the championship?"

"Why set a goal of winning the championship?" Lin Ran discovered that this was a question raised by a media company. He did not understand the reporter's thoughts at this moment. "Isn't it enough to win? Besides, the qualifiers are already over. We lost to South Korea once, we know that the opponent is very strong and we will not take it lightly in the final."

"Have you entered the finals by default? Do you mean that you think the strength of the two representative teams from mainland China and South Korea is superior to other teams?"

"..." Lin Ran was silent for a while, turning his back on guests, "What else?"

Reporter Wanwan couldn’t handle this sentence.

He originally wanted to use this method to make Lin Ran humble and praise his Wanwan team in disguise, but he didn't expect that he would admit it directly.

The reporter didn't give up and decided to take a straight shot, "Now, let me ask Player Ran, what do you think of the level of TPE?"

"All I can say is that they have a lot of room for improvement."

Lin Ran replied like this.

Reporter Wanwan’s eyes lit up.

This is a good answer!

He was about to write in a memo, "The strongest League of Legends players on the planet praised the Chinese Taipei team and asserted that the team will evolve in Jakarta."

Lin Ran ignored him, dealt with the other two reporters, and turned to look at the last media outlet.

The logo printed on the microphone made him feel more at home.

China Central Television.

The team sent by CCTV to Jakarta this time has a lot of people, mainly interviewing athletes in traditional advantage sports such as table tennis, diving, weightlifting, etc. This time, there is also a female reporter with short ear-length hair assigned to the e-sports performance project. A strong photographer.

"How do you feel about coming here? Isn't it quite hot?" The reporter first smiled and chatted with Lin Ran.

"Yes, it's hotter than Hong Kong and Shenzhen." Lin Ran had a correct attitude.

"Then let's take a group photo and go directly to the car for the interview. The bus is air-conditioned." The reporter looked back at the sweating cameraman and felt that it was a bit embarrassing to stay here to record.

The other five players also got rid of the voracious media and joined the coaching staff.

"Lin Ran, stand in the middle, holding the national flag..."

The photographer returned to the car and took out the national flag that had been prepared and directed them to complete their positions.

The national flag was so large that it could cover the entire lower body of the six players, while the coaching staff stood on the side, surrounding the players like stars over the moon.

Accompanied by a crisp sound and flashing special effects, all members of the Chinese Mainland League of Legends team took their first group photo in the foreign country of Jakarta.

After boarding the bus and turning on the air conditioner, Lin Ran felt completely comfortable and exuded an aura of joy.

He really couldn't adapt to the Indonesian weather. The climate in Shanghai and Shenzhen was humid enough, but it was not worth mentioning in front of Jakarta.

As soon as he got off the plane, he felt that his pores had been smeared to death by a wet towel. The low air pressure at the equator made it difficult for him to breathe, and he almost shouted "I can't breathe".

With air conditioning and dehumidification, he finally survived.

The CCTV reporter pointed the microphone at Lin Ran.

As explained above, this is the key interviewee.

After all, Lin Ran is ahead of other players in terms of personal strength and influence, and naturally attracts much attention.

"Earlier today, Chairman Huo Qigang, Chairman of the Asian Electronic Sports Federation, held a draw ceremony for the group stage of this e-sports event, dividing the 8 teams into two groups AB," the female reporter said in a calm and clear voice. "How does player Lin Ran evaluate the group situation?"

She knew that the CHN team was still flying in the sky when the lot was drawn, and she probably didn't know the result of the draw yet, so she took out her tablet and gave Lin Ran a look.

When the other team members on the bus heard the reporter's question, they also took out their mobile phones and searched for this news.

Lin Ran saw that his bright red color was assigned to Group A.

Also in the same group are Chinese Taipei, Kazakhstan and Vietnam.

The four teams in Group B are South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the host Indonesia.

Lin Ran had reason to suspect that the organizer had engaged in a behind-the-scenes operation.

Group A they are in can be called the death group.

Neither Chinese Taipei nor Vietnam are weak, and they even have the ability to compete for medals, but according to the rules of the competition, only two teams from each group can qualify.

In other words, Group A is destined to start a bloody and fierce fight.

In comparison, Group B is simply a retirement team.

South Korea stands out, and there is no suspense about qualifying. The remaining three rookies are pecking each other.

This is the grouping that is most beneficial to hosts Indonesia.

They only need to kill the other two rookies to advance to the semifinals.

"This group..." Lin Ran pondered for two seconds before replying, "I think it's okay, it's completely acceptable."

He continued to explain: "Although the opponents in the group include Vietnam and Chinese Taipei, we are confident of winning the first place in the group. As long as we enter the semi-finals, we will face the second place in Group B. This is a rule. Way to walk the finals.”

In short, the group stage is a bit difficult, but as long as you fight your way through, you can go straight to the finals.

The reporter indicated that he understood and continued to ask the second question, "This is also the first time that e-sports has entered the Asian Games as an emerging sport. Can you express your views and feelings?"

Lin Ran sat upright, "As a professional e-sports player, I feel honored to participate in the Asian Games, the largest comprehensive sports event in Asia. At the same time, I also have longing and expectations. This is a small step for the League of Legends project, but it is It’s a big step for esports.”

He was very emotional. Lin Ran had been preparing for this question before leaving the Shenzhen Sports Team. At this moment, he was just telling the answer that he was already familiar with.

The short-haired female reporter pursed her lips and smiled, nodding with satisfaction.

She wasn't stupid, so she naturally knew that Lin Ran's answer was a bit performative.

But Wu Suo Wei, after traveling all over the country for so many years, I have seen many such things, and I can only say that I understand them all.

After asking two routine questions, the female reporter handed the microphone to other contestants.

Each of the team members is more serious than the other. The Shiba Inu no longer crosses its legs and puts its paws on its knees obediently, just like the seriousness it used to take in class when it was a child.

Lin Ran looked at the posture of this group of people as a bystander and couldn't help but laugh. He huddled next to him and whispered to Su Cheng, admiring the local scenery along the way.

The bus drove all the way to Kemayoran in the center of Jakarta, where tall buildings stand tall and are full of modern atmosphere. It is the financial and political center of the city.

Although Jakarta is not friendly to Chinese people, objectively speaking, Jakarta can also be called the largest city in Southeast Asia.

The vehicle finally drove slowly into the Asian Games Village.

The reporter also ended his interview today and introduced the basic situation of the Asian Games Village to the players.

The whole village occupies a small area, with a total of 7 dormitories. Except for the one where the staff lives, the other six buildings can accommodate 14,000 athletes. The living service facilities are also pretty good. To describe everything.

"The Chinese national team has previously held a flag-raising ceremony at the Asian Games Village. Everyone looked out the window and could see the national flag on the flagpole." Then the reporter motioned for them to turn their attention to the front. "When you see the building in front of you, Come upstairs, this is where you will stay for the next few days."

Lin Ran jumped out of the car, took out his suitcase, and looked up and down at the brightly lit dormitory building in front of him.

"I can only send you here. There is our team leader at the door, just follow her!" The female reporter waved goodbye to them.

CCTV reporters do not live in the Asian Games Village. They occupy two floors of the hotel outside and are treated quite well.

Lin Ran watched the bus go away and turned around to find a middle-aged lady coming out of the dormitory building.

"Hello, I am the Information Center of the State Sports General Administration..." The woman shook hands with the twelve people in turn and said hello, "Because there are qualifiers in Hong Kong, we are the last batch of team members to stay in the Asian Games Village."

The players of Clash Royale and Honor of Kings International Edition flew from Shenzhen to Jakarta two days ago and checked in early.

League of Legends has a lot of delays due to the large number of participating teams and the longer format.

"Next, I will be responsible for all your post-game work. You can just call me Ms. Yang."

She acted resolutely and got straight to the point, "The first floor of the dormitory building is an activity center. You can apply for phone cards, exchange currency, and buy daily necessities here."

"Everyone lives on the third floor." She pressed the buttons for the two elevators and took out a stack of room cards from her bag. "You two share a room, eleven men and one woman. There are seven rooms in total. After planning properly, Tell me the list."

Everyone pushed their suitcases into two elevators and reached the third floor smoothly.

Ms. Yang swiped a room card and showed the players the layout inside.

Lin Ran looked around and saw that it was similar to the dormitory of the sports team. However, since the Asian Games Village was only recently built, the furniture and floors looked relatively new.

"The canteen is next to the Asian Games Village. There is a conspicuous sign..." Ms. Yang paused here, "Please wait a moment."

She went to her room on the same floor and came back a moment later holding two large bags.

"There are a total of six players and one head coach, seven sets of award-winning uniforms, and the shoes are also the same. I reserved the sizes based on the data reported by the Shenzhen Sports Team. There should be no problem." Ms. Yang put the bag in Sets of clothing are distributed.

"You get up tomorrow morning and put on this outfit to participate in the competition." She raised her hand and glanced at her watch. "At seven o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone will gather in the lobby downstairs. Can you do that?"

Everyone nodded.

Since the beginning of the training camp in Shenzhen, they have been changing their work and rest habits, and now it is not that difficult for the team members to get up early.

"That's good. There are a lot of things tomorrow, and we still have to be busy with the opening ceremony." Ms. Yang didn't waste any more words. She finished her work and left. "Go to bed early."

"Come on, come on, what does the award uniform look like?" Jack was impatient and stretched out his paws to unpack the package.

Lin Ran found his own routine easily.

This is different from the orange training uniforms they received from the sports team. This one is obviously much more formal.

There are two tops in total, white short-sleeved bottoming, and the jacket is red and white.

Except for the Olympic rings and the national flag on the chest of the jacket, the most eye-catching feature is the Great Wall pattern that snakes upward from the right waist. It is tall and three-dimensional and looks easy to identify.

The lower body is wearing navy blue sweatpants and a pair of red running shoes, still sponsored by Anta.

"Okay, okay, go to bed as soon as you get your clothes!" Abu urged.

It's almost early morning in Jakarta now, so in order not to delay tomorrow's opening ceremony, everyone dispersed early.

Lin Ran hung up all his clothes, took a shower, raised the air conditioner temperature to 26°C, and then wrapped himself in a thin quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

At 6:30 the next morning, Lin Ran got up on time feeling refreshed. After washing up with Garlic Bastard, he put on his award-winning uniform.

"Wow..." Su Cheng exclaimed in exaggerated admiration. When she saw him, her fingers didn't stop, clicking the shutter button, taking a 360-degree shot of her boyfriend on her mobile phone.

Don't blame her for being a nymphomaniac, this award-winning outfit looks really stunning on Lin Ran.

The slim fit makes his figure more proportionate and taller.

"Isn't this better than the World Championships every year?" Xiaotian was also very satisfied with his appearance today, and he didn't forget to ridicule him.

"You're right," Jack patted him on the shoulder, "It's hard to find uglier clothes than Conquest, right?"

"I doubt you can have sex with me!" He said boldly.

Ms. Yang also walked out of the room wearing an award-winning uniform.

The moment she appeared, the atmosphere in the corridor became much more serious.

"Let's have breakfast first. A team will pick us up on time at 7:30 to take us to the competition venue."

A large group of people arrived at the Asian Games Village canteen.

Looking at the sign in the window, it offers a variety of dishes, from East Asian Chinese food and sushi kimbap to South Asian curry paste and pancakes, to Indonesian specialties.

However, the breakfast was not that rich. Lin Ran took two small meat buns and a cup of hot milk to fill his stomach.

There was a game to be played this morning, and the players couldn't feast on it, so they had to wait until the evening.

I got on the bus at 7:30 and arrived at the venue of the competition - Mahaka Square at early 8 o'clock.

Lin Ran followed his teammates and just wanted to enter the stadium when he was stopped by a fast-running Indonesian media.

The reporter's mouth was a series of words that he couldn't understand.

Fortunately, there was a Chinese translator beside me.

It's a familiar question again.

Let him answer his opinion on the Indonesian representative team in the League of Legends project.

Lin Ran was confused. From yesterday's Wanwan to today's Indonesia, why did he always have to ask his own evaluation of them.

It would be easier to understand Wanwan. After all, they are old rivals and there are many old acquaintances in the team.

But why do you, an Indonesian, ask such a question?

Do you care so much about other people's opinions?

Is it possible that I can still say bad things about you in your home territory?

Don’t you have to coax and say a few nice words?

Lin Ran didn't even know how to answer.

Finally, an idea occurred to me.

"...I hope to play against the host country in the semifinals."

The reporter was extremely excited after hearing the translation.

What's the meaning?

Doesn’t this imply that our Indonesian team can make it out of the group stage?

He became silly and happy.

Lin Ran also smiled when he saw the reporter's expression.

Anyway, the second place in Group B will not be the South Korean team, so the remaining three teams will play no matter who they are.

The two people who did not understand each other reached a subtle consensus at this moment.

Satisfied Indonesian reporters let him go.

Lin Ran followed his teammates into the stadium.

The first step is makeup as usual.

It's just that the Indonesian makeup artist's technique was a bit rough and made his face stiff.

After putting on makeup, Ms. Yang suddenly came to him and said, "Lin Ran, you will be the flag bearer on stage later..."

"Ah?" Lin Ran couldn't believe it.

He thought it would be good to compete directly after the opening ceremony, but he didn't expect there would be such a part.

"After all, it is a separate performance event, and it is normal for athlete representatives to enter the event."

Ms. Yang explained and taught him step by step, "Pay attention to walking along a straight line, and hold the pole with both hands like this..."

Lin Ran was so excited when he received this task that he simulated it twice carefully. After Ms. Yang was sure that it was correct, he sat in the lounge to calm down.

I didn’t even bother to watch the fancy Javanese dance performance at the opening ceremony.

The other five teammates stared at him with envy and hatred.

How does it feel to hold the national flag and represent all the athletes in Chinese e-sports?

You can go to Zhihu to get a cup.

Lin Ran felt that time had never passed so fast.

In the blink of an eye, he was taken to the designated location to wait.

The entrance ceremony for athlete representatives has begun.

Representing South Korea was Lee Sang Hyuk. Like Lin Ran, he also had indescribable excitement on his face.

Within a moment, he heard a female voice echoing in Mahaka Square!

"...the People's Republic of China!"

Lin Ran took a deep breath, held the flagpole tightly with both hands, forming a regular angle with the ground, and walked slowly towards the stage!

Jakarta is still hot and humid at the end of August, swallowing up the remaining warmth of the night breeze.

Flying dust mixed with rising heat, carrying the moist atmosphere of the tropics, and the sun shone diagonally into the stadium, shining on the red flag in Lin Ran's hand.

On November 18, 2003, the General Administration of Sports of China officially approved e-sports as the 99th official sports competition.

It is now 15 years later, August 26, 2018, at 9:07 in the morning in East Seventh District.

Chinese e-sports has taken the first step to enter the Asian Games.

Hello Jakarta.
