LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

By the time the plane landed, it was already evening in Shanghai, and fire clouds spread across the skyline. The sunset rays penetrated the clouds, rendering the sky a bright red.

The familiar Pudong International Airport appeared in front of Lin Ran again.

As soon as they left the airport, they enjoyed the treatment of being surrounded by people in front of them.

Bobby, the CEO of Tengjing Sports, Vincent, the head of Riot China, and several club managers with personnel participating in the competition were all waiting outside, and there were even two officials from the Shanghai Sports Bureau.

The specifications are quite high.

Lin Ran and other team members came back with a gold medal from the Asian Games. In recent years, Shanghai has also proposed to develop the emerging e-sports industry and build an e-sports capital. Now that the project has won the championship, it is understandable that the leaders of the Sports Bureau came to welcome them.

However, since it was a public place, the welcome ceremony was not very grand.

Lin Ran dragged his suitcase and was tired of dealing with all the greetings. By the time he finished everything, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

They waved goodbye to Hanyi and Abu, and then got into the YM Club's BMW-sponsored car. They first took Su Cheng to Tongji Beiyuan in Wujiaochang, and then sped all the way back to the suburban base.

After Lin Ran said goodbye to his girlfriend, he sat in the car and started to take a nap.

The mental state of other teammates was also very average. Hongmi was rubbing his temples and complaining about having a headache.

The schedule is too tight. They still have a game against EDG tomorrow. Lin Ran regrets a little. If he had known that he would not go to Sea World on the last day of his stay in Jakarta, how nice would it be to have a good sleep in the Asian Games Village?

But now that there is no way to go back in time and space, Lin Ran can only pay the price for his mistakes.

The YM base was brightly lit, with Guo Hao, Jiang Chenglu and Lin Weixiang standing at the door.

"Hurry up and give me Kangkang your medal!" Lin Weixiang saw the gold medals posted by four teammates in the WeChat group the night before yesterday when the CHN team just won the championship, and now he still wants to see the real thing.

"Na na na, did you see it?" Jack took out the gold medal from his bag and threw it to Big Eyebrow.

Lin Weixiang didn't know if he was caught by the surface of the gold medal, but anyway, his eyes were shining now, "Is this real gold?"

"...Do you think it's possible to give you pure gold?" Liu Qingsong was speechless.

Lin Weixiang pretended to want to bite it up to test its quality. Seeing this, the Shiba Inu quickly snatched it back.

He stuffed the gold medal back into the compartment of his backpack, "If you want to bite, just take your own..."

Then Jack pretended to suddenly realize, "Looking at my memory, I even forgot that you didn't go to the Asian Games."

"Hey," Lin Weixiang entered the sage mode after satisfying his desire to watch the gold medal. After hearing Jack's words, he immediately curled his lips, "Thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi. I call this a promising future. Do you understand? Huh? I will definitely go to the Asian Games in four years!"

Big eyebrow went crazy.

"Quie," Jack said sarcastically to him again, "Brother, let me remind you, I am younger than you. Even if I become a future soldier, it will not be your turn."

Lin Weixiang thought for a while and realized the seriousness of the problem. His two thick eyebrows twisted together to form a line, looking very happy.

But he was immediately relieved.

"It's okay, I'm not the only one who doesn't have a gold medal anyway," Da Mei looked at Jianmu Gong, who was silent at the side, "You think so, right Jin Gong?"

"Xiba!" Jin Gong went up to teach him a lesson, but Lin Weixiang ran away faster than the reporter.

Lin Ran followed his teammates and dragged his suitcase back to his dormitory.

Since the cleaning staff comes frequently to clean, the room is also very clean and tidy. The quilt cover and other bedding were only changed today.

After taking a shower, he huddled on the bed and tried to recharge himself for the next game.

Turning the air conditioner to 26 degrees, Lin Ran hugged the quilt and smelled the fragrance of laundry detergent, and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept for more than ten hours. When he woke up again, it was already bright outside.

Xiaotian in the next bed was also sleeping soundly with his quilt rolled up, with only his bastard head exposed.

Lin Ran felt as if he was sealed by the bed and didn't want to get up at all.

He simply stretched out his arm and took the mobile phone from the bedside table.

I plan to surf the Internet for a while and then go back to sleep when I feel sleepy.

If you don’t visit Tieba for two days, you will always find something new.

During this time, netizens in the anti-stress bar were still discussing the just-concluded Asian Games. As soon as Lin Ran clicked on it, he was greeted by a post about Lee Sang Hyuk.

[Faker is in such good shape, he won’t wait until four years later and count on the official event of the Hangzhou Asian Games to be exempted from military service, right? 】

Lin Ran had learned from Jin Gong before that since this year's performance events are not included in the gold medal list, there is no way to match South Korea's rule of "winning the Asian Games championship and being exempted from military service". Whether the South Korean team's players win or lose will not be affected. service.

But it will be different four years later.

After being included in the official projects, there will definitely be a large number of Korean players who want to participate in the selection.

Whether Faker's condition can last until four years later is still unknown. Lin Ran does not dwell on this issue and continues to look forward to it.

[Will Lee Sang Hyuk force Brother Ran to retire in the end? If I can't beat you head-on, then I'll have to fight you longer? 】

This is really possible.

Lin Ran cursed.

Some people think that YM's ups and downs in the period before the Asian Games were due to preparations for the Asian Games, and they hid a lot of big tricks to deal with the Korean team.

As a result, netizens refuted it later.

[Then how should YM prepare? Jin Gong and Hongmi in the team are from the Korean team, and Gou Ba is from the Taipei team. They are preparing to share the big move with the three teams in the Asian Games, right? 】

[Don’t be embarrassed, the four YM players secretly discussed the big move under the covers before going to bed at night. I am a bed and I saw it]

[Hey guys, there are 10 YM club training departments plus managers and translators in total. We need to set up a bunch of group chats, right? 】

[Test a simple math question for everyone. There are 10 people in the YM competition training department. How many group chats can be created at most? 】

Lin Ran glanced at the post forum replies and was amused by the netizens' various whimsical ideas.

At the same time, there is also the Korean network transfer link that I like to see most.

[You bitch, why did you lose to the Chinese team again? ! 】

[Ruler is really good at it. I finally know why the Chinese call him ‘Chiku Emperor’. He can really deliver in key games]

[Is he worthy of Sang Hyuk’s efforts? So why not let bang and wolf come? Even if the state is not good, it is difficult to be worse than Ruler, right? 】

[We have chosen Edgar, so we can’t not bring along anyone from GEN, right? It’s just a cake-sharing game]

[If you share the cake and eat it, at least you have to win the game! I really have no feelings for Samsung, this team is purely disgusting]

Lin Ran spent a quarter of an hour browsing the post forum twice, looking through all the popular posts in the past two days.

Then I finally felt sleepy and planned to sleep for a while and get up again at noon.

There was a sudden noise outside.

Xiaoyao turned over and muttered.

Lin Ran also frowned, and after enduring it for a while, it didn't stop, and the noise only became more intense.

He finally couldn't help it anymore and opened the door of his dormitory with his slippers on.

"What are you doing?"

In the training area, which is only separated by a corridor from the dormitory area, several workers were carrying computer desks in and out. Guo Hao was directing them with his hands on his hips.

The door to Lin Ran's dormitory was also pushed open, and Jack poked his head out, "Brother Hao, what are you doing? Can you let us rest a little longer?"

Guo Hao heard the noise coming from the dormitory area behind him, and walked quickly, and raised his hand to look at the time, "It's ten o'clock in the morning, and it's already a lot after sleeping for fourteen or five hours. If you continue to sleep, you guys I probably won’t be able to cheer up for the game in the afternoon.”

Lin Ran yawned, "What's going on? Is there anyone new here?"

Usually, this training room is only used by six players and members of the coaching staff. It has been a long time since we have seen such a big battle.

"There is indeed a new person coming," Guo Hao nodded, "This was arranged by Hongmi last night. You guys went to bed too early. The incident happened suddenly and there was no time to notify."

"Substitute?" Jack was no longer sleepy at this moment, "Whose is it?"

Guo Hao answered honestly, "Except for you, the other four positions are available."

"Ah?" Lin Ran was stunned.

He couldn't understand why there were four more people suddenly after returning from the Asian Games?

Guo Hao quickly explained. He whispered to the two of them, "According to Hongmi's wishes, the substitute will be brought on this time mainly to cope with the last week of the regular season."

"He wants you to relax."

Hearing this, Lin Ran and Shiba Inu beamed with joy, "Then we can have a holiday?"

"In today's game, everyone still has to play normally. After all, the roster has been reported, and the review of substitutes has not yet been completed," Guo Hao said. "But in the three games in the last week, everyone can rest."

Guo Hao continued to explain, and Lin Ran and Shiba Inu learned the cause and effect of the matter.

Hongmi was exhausted last night. Having experienced the Asian Games himself, he knew how grueling this journey was.

After half a month of crazy training and tossing competitions, there was huge pressure on my shoulders, and there was no solace in a foreign country. It can be said that I relied on perseverance to withstand it.

On the night before the Asian Games finals, Hongmi looked at a bunch of charts and felt a little nauseous.

He was naturally able to put himself in the players' shoes and feel the fatigue.

Next, the players have to prepare for the LPL, and Iron Man can't bear to do this.

So Hongmi thought of a clever idea on the way back.

That is to select a bunch of substitutes to play in the game, let these five starting players take a good rest, and recharge their batteries to prepare for the crucial playoffs.

Even the number of training matches in the past two weeks will be appropriately reduced, mainly because the YM starter + coaching staff have participated in the Asian Games. So far, they have understood the 8.15 version being used in the regular season, and they will not improve if they continue to practice. Very big.

Moreover, the one that will be used in the playoffs will be 8.16, a new version of the game that has not yet been released. It is not too late to practice after the version update content is released in the Korean server.

During this period of time, Hongmi only intends to ask the players to maintain their touch, and don't stretch their hips in the key games.

"This is a good thing!" Lin Ran was now wishing that someone would help him play two games and let him take a break to recuperate.

Jack also chimed in, his lazy dog ​​thought the same thing.

"You think this is a good thing," Guo Hao couldn't help complaining, "I'm almost exhausted!"

Due to the regulations of the LPL competition, in the last week of the regular season, the official will stop the registration, promotion and demotion of players.

In other words, in order to complete the idea proposed by Hongmi on a whim, YM Club must submit the registration and promotion list of substitute players before 24:00 yesterday.

Guo Hao and the manager of the second team worked all night and sent all the players' information to the official mailbox before the deadline.

Then he fell asleep for a few hours and got up again to adjust the equipment for the new players.

Because time is very tight, if nothing else happens, this group of substitutes will have their first training match in the afternoon.

Lin Ran lost his sleepiness instantly and informed the confused bastard in the dormitory about the good news.

Then I put on my sports shorts and ran downstairs to run and exercise.

After coming back, taking a shower, and having a hot lunch, Lin Ran felt like he was alive.

At this time, the players who were transferred as substitutes also walked into the training room on the third floor carrying their own peripherals.

Lin Ran took a quick glance and found that most of them were unfamiliar faces.

Since the secondary league is still preparing for the crucial playoffs, Guo Hao did not directly bring up the starting lineup for the second team, but chose a group of young players who were not yet able to play.

This has little impact on the second team, because as the playoffs are approaching, the starting lineup of the second team has basically been determined. The remaining youth training players have nothing to do. They just play ranked at the top of the canyon and in the Korean server every day.

The young substitutes are still looking at the training room. This is an unprecedented experience for them.

They received news from the manager of the second team early yesterday morning, and they thought they were dreaming, or that the manager was hysterical and started talking nonsense.

Just kidding, there is no chance for the second team to start as a substitute for the first team, so how could it be their turn?

It wasn't until Guo Hao went to pick them up in person that the four of them realized that this incident was actually true.

For half a day, they digested their inner shock while enjoying the envious looks from the starters of the second team preparing for the playoffs.

What is the concept of joining the first team of YM?

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the number one team in the global League of Legends field, with countless fans.

As long as they can get substitute opportunities, their starting point will be much higher than that of ordinary LPL starting players. If they can perform well in a certain game, it can be said that the carp leaps over the dragon's gate and can change the direction of their career in an instant.

They had this dream in mind when they first chose to come to YM to become youth training players.

But the ideal is full, and the reality is cruel.

Before they started playing professionally, they felt that no one was afraid of being the best in the world; but when it came to trials and training matches, they were stepped on and torn over by unknown second-team starters one after another.

In the end, he finally recognized the reality after repeated failures. If he couldn't even beat the LDL people, how could he win the world championship?

Resigned to their fate, they feel that the talents they have shown are not that strong, or that they have not yet been realized.

The YM starting players standing on the top throne are their elusive goals.

But now, they can actually move into the training room of the YM first team.

It's unbelievable.

"Brother Ran, can I take a photo with you?" A handsome-looking youth training player asked nervously.

Lin Ran had just turned on the computer at this time. After hearing the request, he didn't think there was anything wrong. He simply raised his thumb again and made a classic photo pose.

After the youth training player took his mobile phone to save it, he brought a notepad over and asked him to help him sign it.

"...What's your name?" Lin Ran raised his head and asked.

"Bruce Lee."

"Ah?" Lin Ran's facial expression was almost like "Are you kidding me?" ’ emoticon.

"My real name is Bruce Lee," the youth training player repeated, looking shy and feeling a little embarrassed, "My ID is xiaolongbao."

Lin Ran smiled and shook his head, then signed his name on the notepad.

The top laner is his old acquaintance Bai Jiahao. It seems more appropriate to call him ID '369' now.

The assistant is a young man named Iwandy, who looks like a tough guy.

The mid laner’s name is Jiang Chen and his ID is 9527.

"What the hell is 9527?" Jack looked at the other party's information and laughed, "Have you watched too many Stephen Chow movies?"

"Don't make trouble, it's not called 9527 anymore!" Jiang Chen raised his chest and raised his head, "In order to distinguish it from 369, I changed the digital ID and waited for the official review to pass!"

"Okay 9527... So what's your name now?" Lin Ran thought these little substitutes were quite interesting and couldn't help but ask one more question.

"My name is Teacherma now!" Jiang Chen felt that his naming ability was at its peak.

This name is very funny when you hear it, and it really made other people at the scene laugh.

"Okay, okay," Guo Hao motioned for them to quiet down. "Everyone who has just arrived in the training room will get familiar with the surrounding environment. We can start the training match in the afternoon."

There were four more people in the training room. It was indeed a little more crowded than before, but it was still quiet.

The new youth training players are a little reserved and can't let go. They didn't dare to shout in celebration even after getting five kills in 369's qualifying match.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Ran and others left the YM base with their bags and headed to Zhengda Square to prepare for the game against EDG later today.

Now the atmosphere in the training room became slightly more lively.

The remaining youth training players, plus Lin Weixiang, formed a team and were ready to start training matches under the temporary command of the coach of the second team.

The first one found was WE.

Bai Yueya was ecstatic when he first heard that his team could play training matches with YM.

He thought it was because Lin Ran and others saw that it was too hard for him to supervise and guide the Asian Games, so they specially gave him some comfort and compensation.

After all, judging from WE's record of hovering on the edge of the playoffs, the probability of YM scheduling a training match with them is very low.

But when he checked the schedule, he found something was wrong, "Aren't you going to play EDG in the afternoon? Why can you still play training matches?"

He even thought that people like YM knew the art of clones.

It wasn't until news came from YM that he knew that his old club had actually formed a new lineup.

"Oh, the big one is coming!" White Crescent Moon was dumbfounded.

He prides himself on being one of the older generation of e-sports people. He has traveled far and wide and has seen a lot, but he has never seen such an outrageous gameplay.

In order to let the home team players rest, find four youth training players?

Is this crazy?

But Bai Yueya thought about the opponent's record and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

YM is currently far ahead in the Western Division. With only four games left in the regular season, it is not difficult to maintain the first place in the division.

In the end, he agreed to YM's request for a training match.

Mainly because I want to see what the other person is like.

Lin Ran, who was at Shanghai Zhengda Plaza, received the notice to play and prepared to go on stage with his teammates.

Everyone is relaxed.

As Hongmi said before, during the half-month of high-intensity training and competition at the Asian Games, they have completely absorbed version 8.15.

This regular season is not difficult for them.

Abramovich came to the scene to supervise the battle as usual today, but when he saw the Redmi and YM teams, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

The surface of the red rice is calm and the wind is gentle, but my heart is filled with ups and downs.

You just used this group of players under me to win me two days ago, right?

Today I have to let you take a look at why the flowers are so red!

The faces of several other EDG players were not very good either.

Although YM players are tired from traveling long distances, they are undoubtedly in great shape after just finishing the Asian Games.

It was definitely a tough battle today.

"Dear Summoners on site and in front of the screen, welcome to Super Mall!"

Zeyuan's unique timbre was transmitted to every inch of the scene through speakers.

"Today is the last match day of the 9th week of the LPL," said partner Rita. "YM players finally returned to the league today after leaving the LPL for half a month!"

"Four of the team members just won the gold medal in the Asian Games," Zeyuan said. "Today is also their first show after winning the Asian Games!"

The audience in the audience came for the gimmick of YM's first show after the Asian Games, and now they are shaking their support sticks desperately.

Most of them have never been to Jakarta to watch the Asian Games.

But today, YM fans want to send belated on-site blessings to the players they support.

"Yes, after the 3:1 victory over the South Korean team, I believe that all the previous remarks about YM's ups and downs in the second half of the regular season have been self-defeating."

Anyone who watched that final knows how outrageous the YM players were in that time.

The team had lost two games in a row during the regular season, either because they were practicing their lineup or because they were careless.

Anyway, the results so far are good, and fans are not too worried.

Zeyuan nodded in approval, "This game is also officially recognized by Riot Games as the peak showdown between two of the world's top mid laners. You come and I don't give in to each other, which is a bit like Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue."

At this time, the director's prompt came from the ear, and Zeyuan just focused his attention on the field.

"Ym has the priority to choose sides in this game. They took the lead in banning the trolls on the blue side!"

EDG head coach Nofe first sent the Crow to the ban position.

Then Hongmi blocked the Sword Demon, and EDG's target was Akali.

In the last ban position of the first round, Hongmi felt that it really had no heroes to ban, so it simply sent away Haro's Lee Sin.

YM's ban position is very rich, but EDG is stretched thin. They have no choice but to ban Galio.

"The first pick in the first round, YM grabbed the ice shooter first!"

The Asian Games is just like the World Championships, it is a cup competition format, and all teams are studying around the 8.15 version.

This led China and South Korea to continue to study and evolve on bp, and finally found a new version of the answer.

In the current version of Ashe's bottom lane tool, it perfectly fits the rhythm of the early jungle.

"EDG backhandedly grabbed two heroes, Xin Zhao and Thresh, and tried to use the grab to replace the ban to limit YM's rhythm points."

Hongmi has obtained the Yefu system of Niutou + Qinggangying, and its offensive ability is quite outstanding.

In the third position of EDG's first round, they chose the captain for top laner Ray.

In the second round of BP, EDG targeted Jin Gong and banned the two heroes Shen and Dao Mei.

Hongmi, on the other hand, targeted iboy and banned Kai'Sa and Lucian one after another, leaving only Xia, a character with average strength in single selection.

"YM's fourth and fifth choice... Ryze and Jace!"

Rita frowned, "The mid-to-upper swing, YM deliberately doesn't want the other party to know about his mid-way split!"

Next to him, Zeyuan was still guessing, "I think Jace should be used for Brother Ran. After all, this hero is very offensive and suits his play style very well."

But Nofe didn't dare to make random guesses. After carefully asking his junior's opinion, he chose Zoe for the opponent to ensure the strength of the mid-lane matchup.

Twilight Protoss is also one of Scout's most confident heroes. He feels that if he gets Zoe, he will never lose the match.

"In the end, YM decided to give Jace to Jin Gong, and Ryze to Brother Ran!" Zeyuan didn't expect that he could guess wrong, "This is to help Brother Gongzi... After all, it is impossible to let the top laner Jie go. Si."

"We still have to see how effective YM is in this game." Rita added.

The lineups of both sides are confirmed.

Blue square YM: top laner Jayce, jungler Qinggangying, mid laner Ryze, bottom lane Hanbing + Niutou.

Red side EDG: top laner Captain, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Zoe, bottom laner Xia + Thresh.

"In terms of lineup alone," Zeyuan continued without stopping, "I am more optimistic about YM."

"Their lineup is very solid and stable, and they have many offensive points in the early stage. In comparison, EDG is a bit different here."

"But it's understandable," Zeyuan also said a few words for nofe, "After all, we are on the red side and we are facing YM. BP will definitely have certain disadvantages..."

He wanted to say more, but the audience interrupted him with cheers.

Summoner's Rift is coming!

Asking for monthly votes, the votes will be doubled on the first four days of the month. Please vote more to stabilize the current ranking.

Ps: There will be a big chapter tomorrow, one chapter and one game.
