LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

The moment the OMG base crystal shattered, Jiang Chen jumped three feet high, took off his headphones and hugged Lin Weixiang beside him.

Under the spotlight above the venue, four youth training players hugged each other excitedly, their faces filled with the infinite vitality unique to youth.

Xiao Longbao shouted excitedly, grabbed a teammate next to him and started shaking him desperately.

The look was as if they had just won the World Championship.

"Small scene, small scene!" Da Mei was very puzzled by their behavior at first.

But then he remembered the excitement he felt after making his debut in ym and winning.

It seems that we can understand the thoughts of these young people.

"Congratulations to YM, they won their 16th regular season victory!" Yutong was extremely shocked by the final result of this game, but he still performed his duties as a commentator diligently, "Winning this victory also marks the YM has secured the top spot in the Western Division one round ahead of schedule!"

Everyone, Leng Shao, was numb.

In this BO3, he suppressed Jiang Chen in the middle, but it still had no effect.

His teammates collapsed prematurely, and except for him, there was no one who could stand up and complete the comeback with him.

Although there are former champion players like Lin Weixiang in this YM, you must know that the other four are all youth training players!

For an LPL-level team, losing to an opponent of this level is simply unforgivable.

The audience also found it unbelievable.

After seeing the starting lineup yesterday, they had no expectations for this game. They came here just to watch the show. I want to see what good prospects are emerging from the YM youth training.

Who would have thought that he would actually win!

[It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door to outrageous people. It’s so outrageous.]

[Youth training exploded in LPL, which I never expected]

[I’m old 59E Qiuqiu, OMG, please don’t mess it up, okay? Why don't you let Mr. Leng and Xiao Wu go, and see how many other monsters can play in the LPL? 】

[World Girls were still good at the time, but I don’t know why their level has dropped this year. Otherwise, it should be fine for youth training]

[Hahahaha YM sent victory to your door, OMG just didn’t want it, you are really tough! 】

In the backstage lounge, several other YM players also showed happy smiles.

Today's result exceeded their imagination and was definitely an unexpected surprise.

"Not bad, not bad," Jack patted Lin Ran on the shoulder, "Brother Ran, your ability to hit chicken health is 1/3 of my level."

Lin Ran waved his hand casually. He glanced at his phone and found a message from Su Cheng, informing him that he had entered the mall.

"I shouldn't have anything to do here, right? I slipped away."

"Don't forget to come back for a training match tomorrow," Guo Hao reminded.

Lin Ran signaled that he heard clearly, put on his bag and wanted to leave.

However, several excited youth training players had already ran to the backstage and grabbed him.

"Why don't you say thank you to Brother Ran!" Lin Weixiang said.

Several youth training players sincerely thanked him.

"Don't do this," Lin Ran shouted several times in unison from the group of people. She thought he looked like the boss of some kind of club, so he quickly said, "If you want to thank you, thank yourselves. You guys played the game, I just gave it to you." Every little bit helps.”

After saying goodbye to several newcomers, Lin Ran left the venue and found Su Cheng on the fifth floor of the Super Brand Plaza. She was wandering around in several brand stores of sports shoes and clothing.

"How about picking out clothes?"

"The weather has cooled down recently, so it's time to change into some running items," Su Cheng pulled out a sports long-sleeved shirt and handed it to him, "If your body shape hasn't changed, you should be fine in this size."

She scanned the rows of shelves and picked up any styles and colors she liked. Lin Ran was behind the ruthless clothes-trying machine.

The two of them ended up buying a lot of things. Lin Ran carried the big and small bags to the parking lot, put all the clothes in the trunk of the car, and then ran to the cinema on the eighth floor of Supermarket Plaza.

When eating last night, Su Cheng suddenly had the idea of ​​going to a movie. Lin Ran thought that the two of them hadn't been to a theater for a long time, so he agreed, but when he bought the tickets, he realized that there were no good movies at all. Can be seen.

The summer season has ended, and the National Day season has not yet arrived. The beginning of September is an awkward time. There are no new movies to watch. The hit movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has been released, and the only one that can be considered popular is "Xihong". "The Richest Man in the City".

This is also an old movie that has been released for a month. The two of them just happened to catch up with the last day before the movie. The people who should watch it have already seen it. The number of viewers in the theater is not large, and the two of them almost Booked a venue.

The overall comedy effect of the movie is pretty good, especially the scene where the smart guy appears, which really made Lin Ran laugh.

"Look at Chengzi, does this man's eyebrows look like Lin Weixiang's?"

Su Cheng was holding a bucket of popcorn, with a bulging mouth like a little hamster. When he heard this and looked at the screen, his shoulders began to shake regularly.

She turned her head and whispered in Lin Ran's ear, "That's really true when you say that... But it's just the eyebrows, the facial features are quite different."

"I feel that compared to their appearance, their demeanor and logic are the most similar."

The two looked at each other tacitly and laughed out loud.

Lin Ran also went online to find a still photo and a famous scene of Da Clever, and sent it to the group chat of the YM training department. It immediately attracted Liu Qingsong's attention, and Shao Shao began to show off his skills and publish Da Clever's quotations. Go to Lin Weixiang’s various silly photos.

Big Eyebrow is not a lamb to be slaughtered and bullied. He turned around and showed the simple drawing that fans drew for Liu Qingsong on the day he faced EDG. The bangs like steel needles covered half of his face, which looked quite funny.

Lin Ran, the culprit who caused the trouble, didn't know it. He put away his phone and watched the entire movie. By the time it ended, it was already 9:30 pm.

"What are you going to eat later?" Su Cheng drank the orange juice she bought from the theater counter.

Seeing that she was thirsty, Lin Ran handed over the remaining half bottle of orange juice in his hand.

"Hot pot or barbecue?" He had no idea.

"No, no, it's too late. Eating these is not good for your health." Su Cheng objected.

Lin Ran immediately gave up thinking, "What should we do?"

"Don't take the elevator, go down the escalator and find a simple meal." Su Cheng held his arm.

Teppanyaki, Korean barbecue... she hurriedly passed by restaurants one after another.

"How about some noodles?" Lin Ran stared at Hefu Noodles on the fifth floor.

"That's okay." His girlfriend didn't object.

Lin Ran walked in and got the menu, only to find that half of the main dishes were beef noodles.

"Oh," Su Cheng raised her delicate eyebrows, "Can you eat it?"

Lin Ran shook his head like a rattle, "Beef noodles are definitely not acceptable."

It’s not that he believes in evil, it’s mainly because there have been several strange incidents in the history of League of Legends e-sports, all of which have some kind of relationship with this food, which makes people have to believe it.

"Why don't we find another one?" Su Cheng stood up and left.

"It's okay, let's just go to this restaurant. It's already so late, so it's more troublesome... There's also bibimbap and the like." Lin Ran ordered a braised pork, half tendon, and half meat rice on his mobile phone, and added Had a soft-boiled egg.

Su Cheng finally felt at ease and ordered a vegetarian noodles.

When the food was served, Lin Ran realized that the bowls in this noodle shop were exaggeratedly big.

"This can fit two Jack's heads into it." Lin Ran felt that his metaphor was not an exaggeration at all.

Su Cheng froze when he heard this, lowered his head and laughed out loud.

The two of them filled their stomachs until they were seven to eight times full and felt that they were almost full. They took the elevator to the parking lot and drove all the way to Tongji Beiyuan.

It took more than 40 minutes to get from the bustling Lujiazui to Yangpu District. By the time they returned to the community, it was already 11pm.

Su Cheng also wanted to buy some grapes while her boyfriend was parking the car, but she returned in frustration five minutes later.

"I came back too late. The fruit shops are closed." She muttered.

Seeing Lin Ran take out all the clothes and shoes he purchased this afternoon from the trunk, Su Cheng quickly grabbed a few items to help lighten his burden.

The two held shopping bags in one hand and held each other tightly with the other hand, walking slowly towards the residential building.

During this period, Su Cheng was still very playful, and the arm she was holding with her boyfriend swung up, raised it high in the air to the level of her shoulders, and then fell heavily.

This was repeated several times until Lin Ran couldn't stand it anymore.

"Can you be more steady like me?" He educated his girlfriend.

"Tch..." Su Cheng snorted, "I came to watch your game for the first time in the winter vacation of 2016. At that time, I stepped on your shadow, and you cooperated honestly. Now you have changed?"

She shook harder and harder, wanting to raise her arms to the sky.

"Okay, okay..." Lin Ran couldn't do anything to her.

When the two of them walked downstairs, Su Cheng suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, have you provoked my dad in the past two days?"

"What are you talking about?" Lin Ran was very dissatisfied when he heard this, "Uncle Su and I have always had a good relationship."

"Then why does he always say that he wants to talk to you face to face during this period, and his tone can smell like he is gritting his teeth?"

Lin Ran frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.

Curiosity prompted him to take out his mobile phone and open WeChat to find out.

Lin Ran did not dare to ask Su Hongmin directly. He had always known that knowing oneself and the enemy would never lead to a defeat. If he went to Su Cheng's father in confusion, there would be a certain information gap between the two parties, which would be very detrimental to him.

Just in time to see Lin Mingdong's post on Moments saying "Hello everyone, I'm off work" ten minutes ago, Lin Ran knew that his father wasn't sleeping yet.

This should be the person most likely to know.

Coca-Cola Salty Spicy Tofu Brain Sweet Zongzi Sweet Mooncake: [What happened to Dad? 】

He repeated what Su Cheng had just said.

I got a reply quickly - [Nothing, it's just about your marriage to Chengzi. 】

Lin Ran felt relieved as soon as he saw it and pointed the phone at his girlfriend.

"Ah..." Su Cheng subconsciously flipped up her hair, then pretended to be calm, "I thought it was something big."

Lin Ran could see his girlfriend's red ears through the black hair that was briefly lifted.

He didn't want to break it, and instead held Su Cheng's soft palm, "Have you thought about it?"

His girlfriend was so preoccupied that she didn't hear Lin Ran's words clearly. She raised her head and made a nasal sound in confusion, "Huh?"

"Let's get married on February 24, 2020."

Lin Ran's tone was solemn.

On that day, he turned 22, just reaching the legal age for marriage.

Su Cheng looked at him deeply with bright eyes.

The streetlights overhead cast dim yellow light wantonly, and together with the bright moonlight, they stretched two long shadows on the ground.

The evening breeze of early autumn blew on the two of them, carrying a little bit of the remaining warmth from the summer night.

She could hear her heartbeat, and a strange feeling spread through her chest to every inch of her body, making her confused.

"……good."

Su Cheng made a promise.

"Go home, go home!" Lin Ran hugged her and ran forward.

Su Cheng spread her slender legs and stepped on the shadow behind her boyfriend.

Seeing Lin Ran stop suddenly and remain motionless, she could no longer control the raised corners of her mouth and melted her affection into a smile.

"Hahahaha, you are so childish, Lin Ran!"

…

"Blank was killed!"

Ze Yuan's loud shout came from the stereo.

On the computer screen, everyone in SKT ran away in a hurry, but they were chased by the Griffins who rushed over immediately. One after another, they fell down one step away from their own spring water.

"Griffin double-killed SKT this season. They are going to kick the six-time LCK champion out of the playoffs!"

In Zeyuan's excited commentary, the Griffin players, together with the swarming super soldiers, flattened SKT's main crystal!

The time is fixed at 37 minutes and 57 seconds.

competition is over.

"SKT failed to break through the blockade of Griffin, the upstart in the league, in today's final game of the regular season. In the end, they ranked sixth with a record of 9 wins and 9 losses and missed the playoffs. This also announced that they have ended their summer. Race trip!”

Hao Kai next to him also had a look of reluctance, "This is the first time that SKT has missed the LCK playoffs since the team was founded. Even S4, which is in trouble, has never failed like this. The current problems in the team are too big!"

Lee Sang Hyuk on the screen lowered his head helplessly.

On the post-match data panel, his Zoe achieved a record of 8 kills, 3 deaths and 4 assists, but still failed to lead the team to this key victory.

After returning from the Asian Games, Lee Sang Hyuk tried his best to lead the team into the playoffs.

He has always believed that as long as the team can enter the playoffs, SKT can still show its former glory.

With a record of 9 wins and 9 losses, the winning rate is as high as 50%. According to LCK regulations, only the top five teams in the league can advance to the playoffs.

SKT is only one game behind the fifth-ranked African team.

As long as they win Griffin this game, they can enter the playoffs.

The result is obvious, no success.

SKT, the former hegemon of the LCK dynasty, fell to the last step.

"Then we can only see Faker in the bubble match," Hao Kai said with regret in his tone, "Since SKT was only ranked fourth in the spring split, it didn't earn many points..."

Zeyuan answered and told the cruelest reality, "Yes, due to the sudden emergence of Griffin this summer and occupying an extra spot, SKT is destined to climb up from the last step of the bubble tournament."

"Only by winning three BO5 games in a row in the bubble tournament can they become the third seed."

If it were SKT at the top, the audience wouldn't be worried at all. People would kill people and Buddhas would kill Buddhas if they blocked them. There would be no fear at all.

But the current team gives fans the feeling that there is no hope.

The wolf-stick duo looked at each other, and without saying a word for the last time, stood up and prepared to shake hands with each other.

Everyone in the new army, Griffin, was extremely happy.

This final game is also crucial for them.

There are only 10 teams in the LCK, and they played 18 BO3s in a double round-robin in the regular season. Griffin previously ranked fourth with 12 wins and 5 losses, but after defeating SKT 2-0, the Korean League experienced an eternal spectacle.

The four teams KT, Griffin, Longzhu and GEN.G all have 13 wins and 5 losses.

In terms of overall points, the four teams tied for first place.

In the end, KT ranked first due to their small field advantage, while newcomer Griffin ranked second, and KZ and GEN.G ranked third and fourth.

According to LCK regulations, the second-place team in the regular season only needs to play a maximum of two BO5s in the playoffs, and it can still win the third place with a guarantee.

Griffin's mid laner, the super powerful blue cat, almost burst into laughter. He locked Faker in the middle of the game, making it impossible for the opponent to move around and establish an advantage.

Jungler Taishan unilaterally beat SKT's Xiaohei, completely crushing his opponent.

In a sense, he succeeded by holding Faker back.

So what if we don’t have points from the spring split?

Now it is not difficult for Griffin to enter the World Championship!

Lin Ran sat on the ergonomic chair, holding his chin in his hand and looking at the monitor.

He knew that it might be difficult for him to see Lee Sang Hyuk on the stage of the S8 World Championship. Unless the team suddenly exploded, there would be no chance.

Lin Ran felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Regret, regret... more of a loss.

Faker has been present in all international competitions he has participated in before.

If S8 can't meet Lee Sang Hyuk this time, Lin Ran will feel uncomfortable.

"Lin Ran, the takeaway is here, come out to eat!"

Su Cheng's voice came from outside the room.

"I'm coming!"

He calmed down his inner emotions, patted his butt and ran out.

…

After spending a week's vacation at home, Lin Ran ate and slept every day, slept and ate every day, and lived a relaxed and comfortable life.

But it was quite boring.

After entering her junior year, Su Cheng's busyness level increased by several levels.

Previewing professional courses in advance, preparing for exchange-related matters, TOEFL and GRE were all overwhelming. She could only describe it as busy.

Only every night can she spare some sporadic time to spend with herself.

September 10th, the last day of the holiday.

Lin Ran returned to the YM Club.

During his vacation, YM used a lineup of four youth trainees, including Lin Weixiang, to go to Chongqing for a decisive battle with the Snakes.

Snake is now a typical example of anticlimactic.

This doesn't just mean that they performed well in the first half of the regular season and then started to stretch their legs in the second half.

The same is true within the game.

In the early and middle stages of the game, the Snakes often use their strong laning ability and jungle rhythm to create advantages for themselves, but once they reach the middle and late stages, they start to get sick.

In the final analysis, there are still certain problems in operations and team battle handling.

But this is exactly the same as the YM youth version.

Youth trainees also typically only know how to play lane and cannot handle team battles.

The two teams launched a bloody confrontation in the early stage.

However, 369 eventually lost to Brother Holy Spear, who had become a veteran.

Xiaolongbao was also beaten to death by the Vietnamese Sofm in terms of rhythm.

They couldn't even find any chance in the whole process, and were crushed by the Snakes during the laning period.

The two games only lasted one hour, and YM was defeated, handing them their third loss of the regular season and declaring the team's regular season to an end.

"Is this the lowest winning rate in the regular season since we founded the team?"

Jack's feet were dangling on the stool. This posture made him look like a tyrant and cool.

"It seems so." Lin Ran was not sure, "I remember we lost two games in the summer of 2017, right?"

This time YM regular season had 16 wins and 3 losses in big games and 33 wins and 8 losses in small games, with a winning rate of 80.5%.

Gou Ba, who had just walked over with a dozen A4 papers, replied: "I have seen the data, and it is indeed the worst regular season record in the past."

He pretended to be dissatisfied, "You guys are too disrespectful. Hongmi and I have worked so hard, and yet you just got this little result?"

"That's not your problem!" Jack laughed, "If we can train these youth training groups to win against the Snakes, wouldn't the winning rate go up?"

"Where are you dreaming?" Gou Ba laughed and scolded, "In just one week, if I can teach all these youth training groups who have never played professional games before, my salary will be increased ten times?"

Jiang Chen also laughed, "We will be very satisfied if we can win OMG. It is normal if we lose..."

"If we win two games in a row, how can we call it youth training?"

A few people laughed and chatted for a while, and then stopped when Hongmi entered the training room.

"It's been a week, I think everyone should have had enough rest..."

Hongmi put his hands on his hips and said, "If we can make it to the end of this playoffs, there will probably be one week left during the holiday."

Since there are a total of 14 teams in the LPL, and they have to travel back and forth under the home and away system, plus the intercontinental competition and the Asian Games, a lot of time was wasted, resulting in them being the last team in the five major regions to end the regular season.

Like the Korean LCK League, which has now reached the semi-finals, Griffin has to decide with the African team a ticket to advance to the finals and compete with kt.

As for the LPL, the playoffs won't start until tomorrow.

"Our official training match will have to wait until tomorrow evening," manager Guo Hao took out a stack of itineraries and distributed them to them, "because tomorrow afternoon the league will shoot photos and promotional videos for the playoffs."

Lin Ran took it and took a look. He had to say that YM is now a big business and the staff has become more professional.

In his itinerary, he marked the specific time points, content, and arrangements for the people responsible for contacting him.

Everything was clearly arranged for him, so that Lin Ran could prepare in advance without spending extra thought and focus on training.

"Before the training match, I would like to give you an overview of the 8.16 version of the playoffs."

Redmi is already ready to project its computer screen onto the screen through a projector.

"It is worth mentioning that the number of changes this time is not very large, and it is not very targeted at us," Gou Ba said with a bit of joy in his tone, "Facts have proved that our set of e-sports Murong Complexity theory is quite successful.”

Everyone in the YM training department laughed.

The four youth training players were at a loss and couldn't figure out what the point of their laughter was.

But he was afraid that he would appear unsociable, so he laughed in agreement.

However, their acting skills were so poor that Lin Weixiang, who was sitting next to them, could see the hypocrisy in their smiles at a glance.

Da Mei quickly explained to them Lin Ran's previous theory.

"That's it!" 369 looked surprised. "I asked why the team lost two consecutive games at that time. It turned out to be Brother Ran's fault?"

Lin Ran was quite proud.

Riot is indeed in a very difficult position right now.

If they were deceived by YM before.

When the designer team saw the extremely strong performance of the YM4 team at the Asian Games, they realized that they had been deceived.

Regarding version 8.16, the designer team has discussed how to weaken YM many times, but in the end they have not discussed a practical and effective method.

The method that YM uses is to use other teams as shields.

We use extreme attack against IG, and use extreme operation against blg.

The attitude is obvious: if you have the ability, just cut your fists.

Anyway, it was not YM who was injured in the end.

Riot designers are not fools, so they can naturally guess YM’s intentions?

But the problem is that they can't solve it.

In the entire 8.15 version, the YM team only played one game against EDG.

The first game was a ruthless crushing game, and the routine used was very ordinary, and there was nothing noticeable at all.

The second game is the glacier amplification mage.

Is it possible that this routine has been cut again?

Riot designers believe that this routine has not yet formed a scale, and it is impossible to tell whether it is strong or weak after just one or two games.

So they stayed put and only made certain tweaks to the version.

Anyway, this World Championship is using version 8.19, and there are still three opportunities for adjustment.

Hongmi first showed the players the first change.

"Akali bore the brunt of this patch and was slashed several times."

This OP hero successfully achieved an epic achievement in version 8.15 - a Bp rate of 100%.

This is a treatment that only S7 Kalista and S6 World Championship Leopard Girl have.

For such a ridiculously strong hero, her fists would not allow her to be arrogant for long.

"The main thing that is weakened this time is the W Xia Formation. The shielding effect against the defensive tower has been cut off."

"Well done!" Jack said, "This thing is really disgusting. She can overrun your tower even if it's full of blood. It doesn't give you any gaming experience at all!"

The initiator of this weakening can be said to be Lin Ran.

He used Akali for the first time in the Asian Games that day, making Maple Leaf's Malzahar dizzy under the tower, and once jumped over the tower with full health to kill.

It was just taking advantage of the shielding effect of the Xia Formation. To be honest, Lin Ran found that this mechanism was indeed unreasonable.

"In addition, the damage of Q Hanying has been weakened, and the cooldown of R [My Flow Secret! Killing Dazzling on the Surface and Inside] will directly become 160 seconds at the first level."

Lin Ran frowned when he saw the data comparison provided by Hongmi, "This knife is a bit harsh."

Without the Ultimate Hunter, Akali's early offensive launch times would be greatly weakened.

"Is this really cruel?" Jack, being an Edith, was very disgusted with this kind of elusive AP assassin. "I think the blood recovery effect of Q180 energy and above should be cut off. This recovery is here, and the lane is too rogue."

"The stun effect of the R skill should also be deleted, otherwise the crispy skin will not be able to resist at all..."

He gushed, "It's best to change the ultimate move so that it can only be used on heroes, otherwise the mobility will be too high and you won't be able to catch him to death."

"Good guy," Lin Ran glanced at him, "What you said makes perfect sense. Why don't you become a Riot designer?"

Jin Gong also praised, "You might as well delete this hero!"

Hongmi knocked on the table to signal them to pay attention.

"The second change worth noting is Thain..."

He pulled up another picture.

Riot believes that Thain is currently being replaced by Ornn in the tank, so it simply and crudely strengthens all of Thain's values.

From the base health to the base damage of some skills, Thane's panel has been improved.

"Is this the designer teaching you how to play the game?" Liu Qingsong sneered, "With such an improvement, top laner Thain will make a comeback."

Lin Ran nodded, "Fortunately, they maintained their last sense and did not increase the damage of E [Killer's Roar], otherwise the mid laner would be full of this stuff again."

He really doesn't like Thain's mid laner.

Although that version of the Spring Split was all the rage, this hero was too autistic in the middle. If the opponent chose this hero, it would be difficult for Lin Ran to rely on himself to gain an advantage online.

"The last point to pay attention to..." Hongmi clicked the mouse.

An unpopular hero who had rarely been seen before appeared on the curtain.

Urgot the Dreadnought!

"Crab?!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

"That's right, crab..." Jiang Chenglu translated the words of his head coach.

"This hero has been reworked for a while, but no one has paid attention to it. Riot has also strengthened the value this time. It seems that it will make it enter the professional arena like Xin Zhao."

The previous version of Crab was still on the bottom lane, and its ultimate move was the Shift of Heaven and Earth, which swapped positions between the opposing hero and itself.

After being reworked, it became [Beyond the Fear of Death], and the special effects highlighted the gaudiness.

But no one has ever used it.

Riot Games is teaching players how to play again.

Enhance all the values ​​so that no one will use them.

Professional players also have to practice hard.

"Thion is fine. As for crabs, Lin Ran and Jin Gong must practice quickly," Hongmi gave the fatal order, "In the semi-finals, you'd better take it out and use it."

"I have a hunch that Urgot will definitely become a key point."

He was very determined.

Lin Ran and Jin Gong also expressed their understanding.

YM Club is back on track, and the bloody playoffs have officially begun!
