LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

“Vote on, vote on!”

In the Douyu 16101 live broadcast room, he smiled away from the camera and shouted crazily.

In the live broadcast capture screen, it is a Summoner's Canyon duel.

WE0:2RW

In the current third game, WE has been beaten to the point of unconsciousness, and the economic gap of 3k was widened in the early stage.

"RW is full of momentum. They want to win this game and advance to the top six of the playoffs!"

Even though the background sound was deliberately turned down, it could not cover up the loud voice of the commentary.

His smiling face was ashen as death, and his face was full of hopelessness.

In the barrage, WE fans were arguing with other spectators.

[Thousands of words can be condensed into one sentence, congratulations to WE! 】

[Why is White Crescent Moon still staying in WE? Can you get out of here quickly? I was able to enter the World Championship last year, but I can’t even enter the bubble competition this year. I’m Tony! 】

[You can blame the coach, right? 957 and brother-in-law Xiye were in good shape last year, and Kandi can be a wild father. What about now? Only Xiye wakes up from time to time, while everyone else is getting sick]

[Pull it down, WE's five-year reconstruction work has begun. I will imitate the dog son first and then lurk for four years. Call me again in S12! 】

At the end of the regular season, WE relied on Xiye's superb performance to drag the team into the playoffs.

In terms of schedule alone, the half-district situation is very beneficial to WE.

They first have to face RW, which is third in the East, and the remaining two teams in the same region are EDG and IG.

If they are lucky, the team may be able to defeat their old enemy EDG, complete a one-two match, and enter the semifinals to compete with IG in another showdown between ancient giants.

This gimmick is so full that Teng Jing feels that this half-district showdown is very selling point.

WE celebrities, headed by Smile, believe that the team's playoff journey is very optimistic.

As a result, RW crushed him to pieces.

Who can withstand this!

In the center of the Rw contestant seats, Doinb sat on the chair and twisted back and forth excitedly, his already thin face full of wrinkles from smiles.

After winning against WE in this game, their next challenge is EDG.

Everyone thought that the other party was interested in the useless silver pewter spear head.

Whoever wins will advance to the semi-finals.

On the other side, the TOP team, which was forced to slip to third place in the Western Conference due to losing the last game of the regular season, defeated Suning and successfully entered the top six.

They will face RNG, which is second in the East, in the next day's game, and the winner of this game will face YM.

Lin Ran on the plane turned off the game replay, turned to Hongmi and Gouba and said, "I watched the first round of the game, and the appearance rates of Crab and Thain have improved a lot."

"I'm watching..." Gou Ba stared at his laptop screen, trying to sort out all the data from the first two days of the playoffs.

They are now over Shanghai, preparing to fly north to the capital.

In this playoffs, except for the final finals and the 7th anniversary ceremony, which were held in Nanjing, the rest of the games were held at RNG’s home court in Beijing.

They had refreshed themselves during this period of vacation, and now they were in high spirits. They didn't even feel sleepy after getting on the plane.

All members of the training department are looking through the playoff videos of the past two days.

Jin Gong in the back row frowned, "The hero Crab seems to be very comprehensive now, and it's really not easy to target."

"Especially after the previous wave of strengthening," Hongmi said a string of Korean words, which were translated to everyone's ears through Jiang Chenglu, "After the Crab was redone last season, its positioning tended to be between warriors and shooters. Originally, he had no When he was strengthened, Urgot had neither the output of a shooter nor the tankiness of a warrior, so no one cared about him."

Jiang Chenglu also added some jealousy by the way. The translator was honest and elegant. He came from the Northeast and spoke with a rather joyful accent. "In other words, the position of the crab at that time was very awkward. It was neither up nor down, and it was stuck here." ”

"But after this enhancement, he now brings together all the advantages of a shooter and a warrior in the early stage."

Urgot's shooting range is now longer than that of ordinary warrior heroes - 350 yards. Although it is not comparable to that of a shooter, it is much better than melee heroes among upper-level units.

And his basic values ​​are also quite impressive, with a basic attack power of 63 points and a basic armor of 39 points.

What is this concept?

Compared with the famous heavily armored warrior Noshou, he only has 1 point less basic attack power, and his armor is exactly the same!

It's enough to see the strengthening and abnormality of the fist.

They enhanced the base stats of Urgot, who has a 350-yard range, to the level of a short-handed Darius.

Who in their right mind would not play?

Not to mention professional players who are very sensitive to version changes!

Jin Gong also practiced Urgot sporadically for twenty games in the two days before flying to Beijing.

Although it is incomparable to the 50 rounds played by the ancestor Severn in one night, the Xiba people still have some understanding of Urgot's usage skills.

"The main reason is that it is too strong in the early and mid-term," he scratched his third-level head. "There are basically no natural enemies."

"Can't you do the same with Kenan?" Jack asked from the side.

This is a classic long-hand top laner. Back then, he was also the father of Gnar with a range of only 400 yards.

Shiba Inu felt that since Kenan could suppress Gnarl, there was no reason why he couldn't suppress Urgot, who had shorter hands.

"No, his fault tolerance rate for laning crabs is too low," Jin Gong replied helplessly, "This thing is very weak in the laning phase, and W [Purge] also has a shield, and blood exchange is also disgusting. Kennen Once it is consumed in two waves, the crab can use the unsealed secret book to change the ignition, and can even kill alone."

"If you want to suppress Urgot from the laning aspect, that's simply unrealistic," Jin Gong said directly, "This hero is now a pervert."

If Sion's enhancement has made him the dominant player in the tank, then Urgot has directly become the dominant player in the top lane.

"This hero is very powerful in the early and mid-game of the team. Once the ultimate attack catches a person with residual health, the fear effect triggered after killing him is really disgusting!" Xiaotian also participated in the discussion.

Jiang Chenglu translated everything the team members said to Hongmi.

The head coach thought for a moment and then said: "It seems that this is indeed the case at present, but I have a theoretical way to deal with it..."

Until the plane landed at the Capital International Airport, Lin Ran was still immersed in the idea proposed by Hongmi, and his brain was spinning rapidly, simulating various possibilities.

Beijing is the home base of BMW China, and the marketing department directly sent five vehicles to take members of the YM training department to Wukesong.

Since this is an away game, and there are few substitute appearances, only Jack's Edici position needs to be rotated, so Guo Hao only brought Lin Weixiang as a substitute this time.

The remaining four youth training players stayed in Shanghai to look after the family.

"It's not much different from the last time we came here." Da Mei hugged his backpack and looked out the window at the bustling street scene.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't think that buildings are being built every day in the center of the capital, right?" Lin Ran muttered, lowered his head and continued chatting with his girlfriend.

It’s an orange, not a tangerine: [In the semi-finals the day after tomorrow, someone you know will be there to support you, so perform well then! 】

Lin Ran replied with a question, but he already had the answer in his heart.

Su Cheng definitely didn't have time to watch this semi-final. Lin Mingdong has been as busy as ever with his work recently and went to Hong Kong again.

The person Su Cheng said would come to help...

The answer is ready to come out.

Sure enough, my girlfriend immediately sent another message - [It's my parents, please be mentally prepared]

Lin Ran didn't have to worry about where the tickets for Su Cheng's parents came from. LPL would reserve some family tickets for the two participating teams every time. As the marketing boss of BMW China, the backer of YM, Su Hongmin wanted two tickets. Easily.

He suddenly remembered something, turned off the phone screen and leaned against the car window, feeling hopeless.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Da Mei looked away from the window and noticed this expression on the face of his family, and asked quickly with concern.

“…my partner’s parents came to watch the semifinals.”

Lin Weixiang blinked, "Isn't this a good thing? At least there are acquaintances here to support you."

"I didn't say this wasn't a good thing, right?" Lin Ran looked at Da Mei strangely.

This time Lin Weixiang was stunned, "Then why do you look so sad?"

"Oh, I just took on the perspective of Guanhu and Zhuo Ding, and felt for what they will encounter next," Lin Ran sighed. "To face off against me, who has my father-in-law and mother-in-law to support me, these two people must be under a lot of pressure."

"It's so hard! I just don't know if someone will cry after I beat him this time." He shook his head with a distressed look on his face, as if he was apologizing to his opponent before the game.

Da Mei was silent for a long time.

"Lin Ran, can you please have a little face?"

…

The car was parked outside the hotel lobby. The room Tengjing arranged this time was exactly the same as the last time YM came to RNG's home stadium.

The only difference is the training room.

Since all eight teams participating in the playoffs were in this hotel, Tengjing had no other choice and booked several conference rooms for the teams to use.

When Lin Ran checked in, he happened to encounter Suning and WE, the two teams that were eliminated first.

The team leader and manager were going through the check-out procedures. Everyone in WE looked a little sad, but Suning's players looked quite happy.

Mainly due to the gap in psychological expectations.

As a team participating in last year's global finals, WE's goal this year is naturally to enter the world championships, but this year they can't even get a spot in the bubble competition.

Before the summer split, the Suning team only set the goal of entering the playoffs. For them, achieving the goal would be considered a success.

Lin Ran looked at the depressed-looking Bai Yueya in the same room with the Suning players who were still discussing where to go during the offseason, and could only lament that people don't understand each other's joys and sorrows.

"Come on." Bai Yueya waved to his old club YM before leaving. He originally wanted to show a smile, but found that the corners of his mouth seemed to be pulled, and he could not raise them to a natural angle, revealing His smile was extremely stiff.

The next two days were six-to-four games.

EDG faced RW.

Haro tried his best to get the secret book he got from his father, the ancestor Seven, and ruthlessly ruled Xiaofu in the jungle.

The two sides fought fiercely for five rounds in the end. The younger brother was in great form and went wild. Ryze and Zoe played superbly, leading the team to defeat rw and advance to the semi-finals.

The director's camera showed Abramovich backstage. He was excitedly high-fiving several members of the coaching staff around him.

Entering the semi-finals in the summer split means they can get at least 40 bubble points and be one step closer to the World Championship.

Unlike Guodian and Xia Team, who fought fiercely for five rounds to decide the winner, there was no suspense in the competition between RNG and TOP.

In just three games, RNG swept its opponents.

Even though Zoom tried his best and even took out the unique skill captain from the bottom of the box, he still couldn't save the team from the fire.

Mid laner Knight was severely restricted by Xiaohu and could not open up the situation at all.

However, Jiu Meng and ppgod in the bottom lane simply couldn't withstand the pressure from Uzi and Shi Senming, and made frequent mistakes.

In a BO5 three-game match, the bottom lane alone had 4 lane kills, which was completely overwhelming.

At this point, the LPL top four spots have been announced.

EDG's opponent is IG.

RNG will face YM.

On the night when the teams participating in the semi-finals were confirmed, the official League of Legends blog released a warm-up picture of the event.

The three mid laners, Xiaodi, Broiler and Cancellation, occupy half of the page, while Lin Ran occupies the other half.

The players were wearing the uniforms of their respective teams, and Lin Ran stood opposite the other three.

The accompanying text only has a simple sentence-Who can defeat him?

The official blog is a master of rhythm, and the hot comments and replies below are almost all occupied by YM supporters. They currently have the largest fan base in the entire league, and the international competitions are full, making the team's popularity reach terrifying heights. .

However, sporadic fans of the other three teams were not to be outdone, and coupled with various cross-dressings, the popularity of the comment area skyrocketed.

Tengjing is very satisfied with this.

Although the previous goal of creating a division of WE, EDG, and IG has not been achieved, the current four teams of RNG, IG, EDG, and YM can be regarded as the leaders of the LPL league in recent years, both in terms of popularity and performance. .

There was no absolute upset before the semi-finals, and Teng Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

They created a "2018 Spring Finals replay" gimmick for the semi-final between RNG and YM, which also attracted many viewers who rarely watch the game, raising the popularity again.

The official semi-final warm-up activities are in full swing.

On September 14, the semi-finals officially kicked off.

"IG completely destroyed EDG, they are so strong!"

Zeyuan was hoarse on the commentary stage.

In Summoner's Canyon, the three surviving heroes of IG are advancing together.

Ray, who had been able to suppress A Guang before, now faced TheShy and could only be beaten throughout the process.

Facing Urgot used by the enemy, TheShy chose to use Sword Demon to deal with it.

During the laning period, he used his super laning ability to tie with Ray.

In team battles, the Sword Demon is much better than the Crab in terms of output ability, recovery ability, and flexibility.

The mid lane broiler is also in excellent condition.

Coupled with today's mid lane environment, it is extremely suitable for him.

Song Yijin is best at two goals and one girl. In this version, Syndra and LeBlanc are relatively strong mid lane choices.

Zoe is also one of his signatures, and Akali’s proficiency is also good.

The version bonus and personal strength were further improved in the peak period. With the support of various factors, he completely suppressed the junior in this semi-final.

EDG's strongest point was pinned to death, and King Ning did whatever he wanted in their wild area.

The three games lasted only 80 minutes. IG's lightning chaos was frightening, and EDG was eliminated from the finals.

"Congratulations to IG for defeating EDG 3-0!" Ze Yuan said loudly, "They successfully won the final tickets to the Nanjing Youth Olympic Sports Park Stadium!"

Hao Kai started to ask for an oxygen bottle again, his voice was hoarse, "After four and a half years, IG returns to the LPL finals!"

At this moment, the dog boys peeled off the various team-related skins on their bodies, revealing their true colors. They calmly took out the rusty dog ​​tags from their trouser pockets, wiped the dog tags angrily, and put it on their necks.

This year, the Dousha platform launched medals of honor for major teams. You can use the team logo of the club you support as an ID prefix before posting a barrage. Originally, it was mainly distributed to fans of each team.

However, the conditions for obtaining it are relatively loose, that is, it is free, and many people have medals of honor from several clubs at the same time.

Anyone with a sharp eye will notice that something is wrong in the chat channel of the event live broadcast room.

Ten minutes ago, many people used the EDG team logo to send barrages to mock the eliminated WE, but now they have all changed to IG dog tags.

Just highlight a cross-section.

[Brothers are celebrating the Chinese New Year! 】

【Fuck TheShy! Why is he so fierce? 】

[It’s a pity that he died first in the last wave, otherwise the second prince Haro wouldn’t have been able to escape]

[You’re right, TheShy is here to kill them all! 】

The five teenagers hugged each other excitedly, and Prince Ning's smile revealed full of ambition.

This year he has to prove himself!

…

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2018 League of Legends Professional League Summer Semifinals..."

"Today will be another semi-final, between YM and RNG!"

The commentators responsible for this focus battle are still the Haier brothers.

The two finished reading the commercial and then analyzed the current points situation of the two teams.

"YM and RNG have 90 points and 70 points respectively because they are the champions and runner-ups in the spring split. The point difference between the runner-up and third place in the summer split is also 20 points. According to our regulations, in the case of the same points, the points difference between the runner-up and the third runner-up in the summer split is 20 points. The team with more points will be ranked higher!"

Miller was the first to speak, "In other words, no matter which team among them enters the finals, they will advance to the S8 global finals with a points advantage!"

"Yes, that's right, this is also the first World Championship ticket that will be born in our division!" Wawa agreed.

This also added a bit more tension to the semifinals.

After all, no one wants to play a bloody and cruel bubbling match unless necessary.

"First of all, I would like to remind viewers who have not paid special attention to version changes. In version 8.16, the ecological chain of top laner and mid laner has changed. Urgot and Sion have risen, and their current strength has improved significantly, while Aka After Rei is currently weakened, the ban rate has plummeted!"

In the first few rounds of the playoffs, Akali's winning rate was not very high, just 40%.

After being weakened multiple times, the Assassin's disadvantages were highlighted.

Once unable to suddenly kill the opponent's backline squishy, ​​Akali's strength in team battles is completely inferior to that of a normal mage.

While the two commentators were sharing the impact of version changes on the professional league, the ten players and coaching staff were all ready.

"Aren't you nervous, brothers?" Jack swayed on his chair, swinging his thick legs, chewing gum, and looked at his teammates beside him.

"What's there to be nervous about?" Liu Qingsong pinched his fingers, "It's just a little bit awkward. After all, I haven't played a formal game for a while."

Lin Ran adjusted his sound-isolating headphones. Seeing the camera pointed at him, he waved hello to the camera.

He saw Su Cheng's parents in the front row of the audience and took the opportunity to say hello to them.

This scene appeared on the big screen, causing cheers and screams from the audience.

"The contestants are ready, let's hand the camera to the live stage!"

As soon as the baby finished speaking, the metallic sound that symbolized the beginning of the BP session resounded throughout the audience!

"YM has the priority to choose sides in the 1st, 3rd and 5th rounds of this semi-final. They got the blue side right away and banned Thain first!"

Hongmi knew that Thain's enhancement would be a natural fit for Letmi.

Therefore, he was not given a chance and directly chose to block it.

"RNG gave its first ban position to Qinggangying!"

Xiaotian's fingers subconsciously slid the mouse wheel, "Do we want to rob?"

"I don't think it's necessary in this round," Hongmi frowned, "How about letting Lin Ran choose Akali first?"

"Are you sure this hero can be released?" Lin Ran was a little doubtful.

Although Akali's ban rate has plummeted now, he was still the one who made famous scenes with his outrageous thorn.

"Don't worry," Hongmi patted Lin Ran on the shoulder behind him, "I can get it for you."

"That's no problem!" Lin Ran was eager to use Akali.

In this game, the opposite jungler is Kasa, and the tactical focus must be on the lower half, using the dog-raising tactic.

In other words, as long as he kills Uzi in seconds, the teamfight will be easy.

In this case, Akali undoubtedly fits his requirements.

Behind the RNG player bench, head coach Heart is also discussing BP selection with the players.

"Let's ban the ice. It's best not to let this hero go now."

He is still afraid that YM will get it.

The RNG coaching staff studied Jack's qualifying record before the game and found that this person is now simply an Ashe maniac. As long as he can get the ice game, he will definitely choose it.

This obviously raises the priority of the hero Han Bing to the extreme.

Since the Asian Games, Han Bing has become the first sister of Edici in the bottom lane, and no one can shake her position.

Relying on the range advantage and the consumption of W [Thousands of Arrows], the laning ability is quite strong.

Moreover, E [Eagle Strike in the Sky] can provide teammates with location information of the enemy jungler.

At the same time, R [Magic Crystal Arrow] has two functions: first hand and backhand.

Simply the perfect tool man.

If Jack gets it, not to mention that it will be difficult for Uzi to suppress him on the line, and Casa will not feel easy in the jungle.

This is a ban that must be assumed.

"The last ban spot in the first round of YM was given to Sword Girl... Hey, are you going to choose Sword Demon?" Wawa was very surprised by this.

Mainly because Dao Mei is really not that strong right now. Since her ultimate move and passive were severely weakened, she has now fallen into the T2 camp.

You can choose, but the strength is not high, and it rarely takes the ban position. It is mostly used to counter the Sword Demon in the backhand, which is why Wawa guessed so.

But Heart was lost in thought.

He realized that Hongmi had buried a hole for himself.

You know, Sword Girl is recognized as the biological mother of Sword Demon. Even though Irelia was slashed once, Sword Demon also suffered many blows.

Originally, Heart wanted to ban Urgot at the end of the first round, so that if the opponent used Sword Demon, they could choose Sword Girl to deal with it.

If YM chooses Sword Girl, Heart also told Xiaohu that he has practiced restraining Irelia's Yasuo, so he won't suffer a loss in BP.

But now the knife girl is gone.

If he bans Urgot again, he won't be able to deal with the remaining sword demons.

If he released both Sword Demon and Urgot, the situation would be even worse.

Because RNG's two single-line sword demons are not very proficient.

There was no way, it was all Lin Ran's fault.

Xiaohu and letme are not very fast at practicing this type of warrior hero.

When they first practiced Sword Demon, no one expected that they would be forced to redo it twice by Lin Ran.

This time I have to practice again.

As a result, my current proficiency is simply not enough to enter the professional arena.

When the time comes, release them all, and YM grabs Urgot. Should RNG choose this sword demon or not?

If you insist on choosing, it will affect your performance. If you don't choose, YM Urgot + Sword Demon, the two single lines are not low in strength.

The problem before Heart is simple. With the two heroes Sword Demon and Urgot, RNG only has one ban position left.

"If that doesn't work, we can only disable the more powerful Urgot..." Heart's mind was spinning rapidly.

Facing YM, they were too nervous in their ban position on the red side.

Qinggang Ying has outstanding strong opening ability and comes with a system of doing whatever he wants, Han Bing has outstanding detection ability and lane mixing ability, and top laner Urgot...

Everything must be blocked, and there are simply not enough ban seats. It can only be described as being stretched.

"Li Yuanhao, how about we play a game of Akali?"

Heart could probably predict Hongmi's BP strategy and knew that the opponent was banning Dao Mei to create pressure on itself, in order to give Lin Ran a chance to get the favored Akali first.

He was very impressed by Lin Ran's outrageous thorn, but the situation forced him to do so.

"This is a bo5. If we can deal with Akali on the opposite side in the first game, the next BP will be much easier!"

Li Yuanhao is now wearing his tactical goggles again.

After hearing what his head coach said, he thought for a moment and finally agreed.

"Get me a hero who can handle him in the middle, and I'll tie him up and prevent him from wandering."

Heart agreed.

"RNG finally banned Urgot, and YM decisively grabbed Akali!"

Amid the cheers from the audience, Wawa started to brag, "Brother Ran, just show off your confidence!"

"RNG chose Troll and Crow on its backhand. This is also a very beautiful replacement choice!" Miller praised.

Neither side banned the crows and Swain's biggest natural enemy, the trolls. Heart was well prepared and quickly captured them.

This time BP doesn't seem to be losing so much.

"YM gets Sword Demon and jungler Xin Zhao, so the top, middle and jungle positions are all determined!"

RNG’s third choice was to support Tahm Kench.

As soon as this protective support hand was revealed, Lin Ran knew RNG's plan.

The opponent has to use the iron barrel formation to protect Uzi forcefully.

Even if Lin Ran's Akali cuts into the field, RNG will use pillars to block the progress of other YM players, and at the same time, Tahm will swallow Uzi in one bite to protect it.

In this way, his Akali was completely destroyed.

Hongmi is still directing the second-round BP, "Let's ban Verus and Kai'Sa."

Among the current top-notch ADCs, the only one that can be paired with Tahm Kench is Verus, in addition to Ice.

Now that Ashe has been banned, if Redmi blocks Verus and Uzi's good hero Kai'Sa, RNG's deterrent power in the bottom lane will be much weaker.

Heart, on the other hand, bans Thresh and Tauren Chieftain, two characters that Shao Shao is good at.

"RNG got Xia Luo again in the fourth pick, so they can use it to ban Xia Luo and destroy the Xia Luo combination that YM may choose!"

Heart has tried its best to not give YM too much lineup advantage.

"Luohe...Jin!"

The doll couldn't help but exclaimed, "YM has brought out something new!"

Miller laughed, "There is a saying that is really not new... Edisi WXZ has a career winning rate of 100% and he played Jhin in the first two weeks."

There was rustling laughter from the audience.

"But this can be considered the first appearance in the playoffs, and it deserves our attention!"

"Look at RNG's last choice, they won Shen!"

"Then this is giving the crow to the little tiger!"

The lineups of both sides are determined as follows.

Blue square YM: top laner Sword Demon, jungler Xin Zhao, mid laner Akali, bottom lane Jhin + Luo.

Red side RNG: top laner Shen, jungler troll, mid laner Crow, bottom lane Xia + Tahm.

"Let us look forward to the official start of this semi-final!"

Summoner's Rift is coming!

Big chapter tomorrow
