LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

The moment the IG base exploded, the spotlights above the stadium dome flashed rapidly!

The Summoner's Rift on the stage also suddenly changed.

The blue square close to IG suddenly dimmed, while the red square belonging to YM shone brightly!

Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators in the stands, the dry ice at the edge of the stage erupted wantonly, and mist rose all around!

"Congratulations to YM!" Miller shouted loudly on the commentary desk, "defeated IG in three straight games!"

The silver dragon cup in the center of the stage shines brightly.

In the event live broadcast room, various special effects were added to the Silver Dragon Cup. On top of the gorgeous light, the past LPL championship team logos appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

In 2013, Planet Light OMG won the trophy for the first time, followed by PE Positive Energy in the Summer Split, and then from 2014 to 2015 Spring Split, EDG dominated and won three Silver Dragon Cups.

The logos of LGD’s optimistic family and the first generation of RNG also appeared one after another.

Since the 2016 Summer Split, YM team logos have appeared on the big screen one after another!

The scarlet color and the extremely rich black blend into one on the team logo.

And every time the team logo appears, there will be a roaring carnival.

YM’s team logo appeared five times in total!

From the 2016 Summer Split to the 2018 Summer Split, the team logo was all black and red!

"YM is about to win the fifth Silver Dragon Cup in team history!" Wawa always created an atmosphere, with a bit of excitement in his tone. "This is already the team that has won the most Silver Dragon Cups in the history of LPL. Every step they take is making history!"

"This team's legendary journey is not over yet, they are going to build a true dynasty!"

The number of barrages in the event live broadcast room increased instantly, and even the live broadcast screen seemed to be stuck!

[Why did IG suddenly die suddenly? 】

[Awesome, YM’s change of pace is really cruel]

[It took IG a total of two minutes from a small disadvantage to the end of the game, which is really outrageous]

[The fifth crown is coming...Who else? 】

[It’s bad, YM was so crazy about the pre-game promo and trash talk, I didn’t expect them to actually do it! 】

Lin Ran took a long breath and drank all the drinks in the paper cup.

The eyes of the other four teammates also showed relief.

For them, this summer has been too tiring.

From the mid-season championship to the intercontinental competition and the Asian Games, all five of YM's starters have a full schedule.

Coupled with the heavy training and business tasks on weekdays, it is almost breathless.

Fortunately, before the start of the playoffs, Guo Hao and Hongmi gave them a week's vacation, which allowed them to rest and adjust.

Now that I have won this final, I am more than happy but relaxed.

The grueling summer split has finally come to an end.

Several YM players can finally relax and rest.

Now the only thing left before their great dynasty is the S8 Global Finals.

Lin Ran glanced at the post-match output panel and found that he and Jack were almost neck and neck. He stood up with satisfaction and took his teammates to the opponent to shake hands.

Jin Gong rushed forward and hugged Lin Ran in a bear hug.

"Wow... this final is so comfortable," Xibaren said in half-baked Chinese, "You win by lying down, my breasts are so cute!"

"Don't say that," Lin Ran smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Xiba, you are definitely not a loser."

"After all, you are playing TheShy," Jack also added, "They are still in the counter position, so it is reasonable for you to be suppressed. If you can turn around and suppress the opponent, it would be abnormal. "

"That's right," Xiaoyao teased her bangs, "This game is not a solo game, it's not enough to just watch the laning..."

"Teammates are the key!" He stood up proudly as he spoke.

Liu Qingsong nudged Jin Gong with his elbow, "If you really think you're going to win, can you treat your four old fathers to a meal tomorrow night? Think of it as compensation for us."

There is no need to think about it tonight, it must be a celebration banquet arranged by Guo Hao.

I opened my wound and planned to make a reservation for tomorrow’s dinner.

"Go away!" Jin Gong said angrily, "You just know how to take out my wallet!"

He bought another house in South Korea and still had to repay the loan. Now he doesn't have much money left in total.

The main reason is that the share of the S7 champion skin has not been paid yet. Although Jin Gong's life is not tight, he is not very rich.

He is not like Lin Ran and Jack. The live broadcast contract of these two people is now with him. With their popularity, they also receive many business orders. Not counting the championship skin share and event bonuses, they can earn eight figures after tax every year. RMB.

Jin Gong's nationality is here, and his popularity in the YM team is not particularly high. The number of business orders is average, and they are basically business activities that the whole team attends together, so the money he gets in this regard is not that much.

The group of people relaxed, left the players' seats, and crossed the Summoner's Rift to shake hands with IG on the other side.

Seeing the YM five people reappearing, the audience in the Youth Olympic Park Stadium was extremely excited. They kept banging the cheering sticks in their hands in the stands and making a muffled sound, while the cheers and screams in their mouths did not stop.

Sound waves filled the airtight gymnasium, impacting everyone's eardrums!

Song Yijin took off his headphones, the noise filled his ears, and the colorful ribbons falling from the sky just fell in front of him.

His eyes were confused, and he still couldn't believe it all.

IG was still fighting with YM a few minutes ago, and it looked like they were going to delay the game to 30 minutes to decide the outcome.

As a result, YM suddenly speeded up. In 20 minutes, they seized the loophole in their vision and directly opened the baron. They used the double punishment replaced by the unsealed cheat code and cooperated with the jungler to directly rush to take away Baron Nash.

Then when advancing down the lane, rely on the Ice Lottery ultimate to start a team fight and win.

The opponent's change of rhythm caught Song Yijin off guard.

YM's two sudden attacks directly ended the game!

Prince Ning was still blaming himself, "I shouldn't have done that... that wave of anti-crouching on the top lane."

The 11-minute team battle on the top lane laid the foundation for IG's defeat in the decisive game.

If it weren't for that wave of team battles, the top tower with full health at that time could still survive for a long time.

Moreover, the Pioneer Eye held by King Ning can also find a more suitable time to cast it.

But after the team battle, although IG only lost two lives, the hidden losses were actually quite shocking.

IG took Canyon Pioneer just to grab a health tower. They sacrificed the health of the middle and lower lanes and one tower, and also called the old thief Sima's Jhin to the top half.

After paying a certain price, the last health tower was gone, and not even the Canyon Pioneer was knocked out.

This is completely a negative return.

Song Yijin remained silent.

The team had a difficult battle with YM in the early stages of the third game. From the pulling and handling of the Rift Herald to the first line switching operation, IG started from scratch and showed a strong learning ability.

But even so, no matter how talented a player is, there is no way for him to rely on on-the-spot learning to master operational know-how.

IG was stable for the first ten minutes, but fell short in the end. They failed to hold on until the end and were defeated by the well-trained YM.

When Jiang Chenglu and others saw that five players from YM had rushed over, they quickly stood up and shook hands with each other.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Ran said as he held hands with the broiler.

Song Yijin looked directly into his eyes, "You are really strong..."

"But the next time we fight, we won't lose."

"Next time?" Lin Ran laughed, "Then I'll see you at the World Championships."

Both YM and IG will become LPL's representative teams for the S8 Global Finals. The difference is that YM has already confirmed its status as the number one seed.

According to the avoidance principle of drawing lots from the same division, the two teams will not meet in the group stage.

If the two teams want to meet, they have to be in the knockout rounds.

Broiler is obviously looking forward to the World Championship, which will be held in his hometown in a month, and he always has some special feelings about it.

He nodded solemnly, "See you in the World Championships."

Lin Ran patted his shoulder to encourage him before leaving.

Jack had a good relationship with the IG players and joked with them with a smile on his face.

The group of people then left the IG player bench.

Stepping into the center of the stage again, the YM members waved to the stands around them.

The audience welcomed them with increasingly enthusiastic applause, and banners bearing support for the YM players were flying in the air.

At this time, Hongmi, Gouba, Guo Hao and translators Jiang Chenglu and Lin Weixiang also rushed over from the backstage, hugging the team members with excited smiles.

"It's so exciting..." Lin Weixiang beamed, "Another trophy!"

Guo Hao called all the training department employees together, "Come on, come on, let me count down!"

"Three, two, one..."

Su Cheng raised her phone, and the camera kept focusing on Lin Ran.

The training department employees headed by him each stretched out a hand, grasped the Silver Dragon Cup that shone in the light, and then lifted it up with all their strength!

The dry ice from the edge of the stage spurted out again!

The shutter kept sounding, and Su Cheng and many spectators around him recorded this scene.

"Let us shout out the winner of the 2018 LPL Summer Split—" Ren Dong stepped onto the stage, waved his arms, and shouted with a passionate voice.

"YM!!"

Thousands of spectators in the stands said in unison.

"After a summer of fierce competition, YM finally had the last laugh..." Ren Dong found that he was happier than the YM team members. He quickly took a deep breath to calm down his slightly excited mood.

"Winning the LPL Spring and Summer Championships for the second time in a row, YM's current achievements are already outstanding among the others," Ren Dong looked at Lin Ran beside him, "Brother Ran, do you have anything to say now?"

He handed over the microphone.

"This summer, our team went through a period of frustration and confusion," Lin Ran's voice lingered in the venue, "Fortunately, our players, coaches and management are working hard, and everyone has the same goal. "

He looked at the Silver Dragon Cup beside him, "With this result, we can only say that our efforts have not been disappointed."

Many fans in the stands let out deafening cheers of celebration.

Ren Dongfu asked again, "After winning the Summer Split, YM will go to South Korea to participate in the World Finals as the No. 1 seed in the region. Has the goal been set?"

"I will definitely win the championship..." Lin Ran said.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were already loud cheers and screams.

Lin Ran had to pause and wait for the momentum to subside before he continued, "This is also the motivation for YM to work hard for a season. I hope this year can come to a successful end."

Ren Dong laughed, "Then here I wish Brother Ran and YM a good start!"

"The next thing we are going to award is the individual award, the FMVP of the Summer Finals!" Ren Dong spoke clearly and fluently, "I would like to invite Tengjing Sports CEO Jin Yibo and..."

Poppy and another official slowly came onto the stage.

The concierge behind him was also holding a gold medal, which read, 'On top of purple gold, we should compete with the sky.'

This year's LPL summer finals championship bonus is 1.5 million. After deducting the club's share and taxes, each person can get about 150,000.

Lin Ran bowed slightly and shook hands with the two award-presenting guests.

"I believe everyone has their own answer for the FMVP candidate," Ren Dong faced the stands, "Can I hear your thoughts?"

What was shouted out by tens of thousands of spectators was Lin Ran’s ID!

"That's right, the FMVP winner of the 2018 League of Legends Professional League Summer Finals, YM Ran!"

This is an unquestionable answer.

The director also showed Lin Ran's performance in the finals on the big screen.

Card Master 5/1/13, Trickery 9/2/12, Zoe 5/1/8.

Three games, three different heroes, and the statistics are extremely gorgeous.

Lin Ran's stable performance today is obvious to all.

Bobby took out the FMVP trophy from the tray of the concierge lady behind him and handed it into his hands.

The shape of this year’s FMVP trophy is a bit weird. It is generally a circle, which looks like a discus at first glance. The silver-white surface is also engraved with the words ‘2018 LPL SUMMER FINALS MVP’.

Under the font is a lifelike silver dragon.

Lin Ran took it with both hands, bowed and thanked him, then straightened his back and raised it above his head!

The flashing lights around him kept making his eyes hurt.

After he put down the trophy, Ren Dong just picked up the microphone and said, "The 2018 League of Legends Professional League is coming to an end, and we will once again give our applause to the two teams participating in the finals today!"

Accompanied by thunderous applause in the Youth Olympic Park Stadium, he said loudly: "The end of the summer season has come, but the seventh anniversary of our League of Legends competition is not yet completely over."

"In the next two days, the three teams EDG, RW and RNG will compete through the bubble competition for the last place to represent the LPL division in the global finals!"

"Dear summoners, we will see you tomorrow!"

Several people were still standing on the stage.

After all, this was not the first time they had won the championship. They knew they would have to take a group photo later, so they all stood there and listened to their manager's instructions.

The members of the YM training department sat in a circle, including the six players in the center. Lin Ran held the FMVP trophy in his hand and smiled brightly at the camera of Yi Cun.

The Silver Dragon Cup was in their arms, reflecting a dazzling light under the spotlight above their heads.

The scene freezes at this moment.

Guo Hao happily took out his mobile phone and asked Yicun to send this photo to him, and later asked his colleagues in charge of operations to send the photo to social software.

"There are new things in the trophy display room," he was very happy, "a group photo plus a silver dragon cup!"

"Wait two more months, and I'll give you the entire Summoner's Trophy!" Shiba Inu affirmed, patting his chest.

The group returned to the backstage, and the staff had already sent all their peripherals back.

Lin Ran had just received a glass of water, and before his butt was warm, he was urged to accept a post-game group interview.

There was a long table and several chairs in the room. He was sitting in the middle, behind him were billboards with various sponsors of the LPL.

The audience was filled with reporters, and questions were thrown to the players and coaching staff.

Lin Ran leaned his body against the back of the chair, his muscles relaxed, and he began to wander around.

It wasn't until someone asked him a question that Lin Ran drew his attention back.

"I would like to ask Player Ran, is the card master shown in the first game of today's finals considered YM's hidden card?"

"Of course not..." When Lin Ran replied, he looked at his teammates and coach. Everyone was suppressing laughter. The real ultimate move had not been shown yet, and he might not be able to shock the audience in the S game.

He tightened his lips and looked serious, "I communicated and discussed with the coaching staff at that time, and finally came to the conclusion that the card is more in line with the rhythm of the current version."

The media person from Saigao nodded and asked a second question.

"So what do player Ran think of today's LCK game?"

"Huh?" Lin Ran frowned and didn't respond.

Seeing his expression, the Segao reporter quickly reminded him, "While the finals are in progress, the LCK bubble tournament has officially started. The first game will be against GEN.G and SKT."

These two teams have the lowest points in the bubble competition.

The winner will move forward and challenge Griffin, while the loser will end his S8 season early.

"Ah..." Lin Ran, who had been busy preparing for the finals these days, remembered that there was something else going on, "I hope SKT can win the game."

After Crown was shut down by him last year, he went to North America to make money. Although he lost the Bird's Nest finals, he was the runner-up in the World Championship after all. There was no problem in going to the LCS to help the poor through technology.

The mid laner who took over was newcomer showmaker.

GEN.G also performed well this year and did not hold back GEN.G.

But Lin Ran was not familiar with him, so he supported Li Sang Hyuk in his heart.

After leaving the post-game interview room, Guo Hao had already arranged a restaurant for the celebration banquet.

Lin Ran followed his teammates to the lounge. On the way, he took out his mobile phone to communicate with his girlfriend, asking her to go to the parking lot outside the venue first, and then go to a restaurant together.

There are quite a few family members coming to watch the game today, including Jack’s cousin, Liu Qingsong’s mother…

Fortunately, Tengjing arranged a bus for them, otherwise they would not be able to sit on it.

When Su Cheng saw Lin Ran, she rushed forward and hugged him. Her cheeks were a little pink and she looked full of energy.

"The way you opened up the field of vision in the last game when Zoe single-handedly defeated King Ning was simply amazing!" She kept talking, like a barrage of words. "We were filled with screams in the stands at that time!"

"That means you don't even know who I am?" Lin Ran was very proud.

After getting in the car and chatting for a few words, Su Cheng set her sights on her boyfriend's FMVP trophy.

After getting permission, she started playing with it.

Rubbing his fingers on the carvings, Su Cheng looked at the discus-like trophy and couldn't help but sigh, "This little thing looks very unique!"

Based on the principle of proximity, today's dinner venue was set at a restaurant called Sichuan No. 1 Nostalgic Hotpot in Pukou District, where the Youth Olympic Park is located.

As you can tell from the name, this restaurant specializes in Sichuan hot pot.

The decoration of the store is relatively retro, and there is a rickshaw at the door.

Guo Hao booked a private room in advance and ordered some food such as tripe, lamb and glutinous rice cake.

The steaming hot pot warmed everyone's cheeks.

Guo Hao stood up first and raised the glass containing Coca-Cola.

"Today's conditions are limited, let's hold a simple celebration banquet here," he glanced at the people in the private room, "I will hold another one when I return to Shanghai!"

There is a group of employees waiting in the base, and Guo Hao will naturally not leave those people alone.

Guo Hao said in a sincere tone, "This summer has been very difficult. The schedule is tight and the tasks are heavy. We also have to compete against the version. There are also many strong teams emerging in the LPL, which adds a lot of difficulty to us."

"But we all did a great job," Guo Hao said, looking at Lin Ran, "Just like Brother Ran said, the results we have achieved so far can only be said that our efforts have not been disappointed."

"Cheers to our victory at this stage!"

The crisp sound of the glasses clashing against each other was pleasant and echoed in the room.

During the banquet, Guo Hao's skills in interpersonal communication were really full. He was able to chat with all the family members. The topic was just right, but not too deep, making the other party feel like spring breeze.

Half an hour later, basic social needs had been met, and everyone began to chat with their acquaintances.

Hongmi drank two sips of white wine, now she was a little heady, her face was red, and she was singing a hometown tune with Jin Gong in her arms.

Xiaoyao groaned, and then she was coughing repeatedly due to the dual stimulation of spicy and hot food, so she could only drink a lot of drinks.

Jack was still doing ten clips a second, and his cousin was saying something earnestly next to him. He just nodded subconsciously, and probably didn't listen at all.

Mindless and unhappy sat together, still whispering with their heads turned.

Su Cheng is also sharing her current situation with her boyfriend.

"I just finished my TOEFL test yesterday..."

"How did you do on the test?" Lin Ran put a small piece of crispy meat into his mouth and thought it tasted pretty good, so he motioned for Su Cheng to try it too.

She swallowed the meat in her mouth, "We still have to wait five days for the results to come out, but I think I did pretty well on the exam. One of the questions was 'Does Franklin's kite experiment exist?'..."

The two were chatting and laughing, until Hongmi took out his mobile phone and started watching the live broadcast of the LCK bubble game, and Lin Ran changed his attention.

"Who wins now?" he asked casually, taking a sip of orange juice.

"GEN.G leads two to one!" Hongmi smiled happily.

Although GEN.G changed its name and surname, the quota was still Samsung at that time. As a member of the older generation of Samsung at that time, Homme naturally looked down on SKT.

As a member of the SSW coaching staff in the S4 Global Finals, he witnessed the opening ceremony of the finals in which the audience cheered for Faker, who did not enter the World Championship, while ignoring Pawn, who won the championship.

He wished that SKT would die quickly.

Lin Ran frowned, this was a bit unexpected.

I originally thought that the rest of SKT was in poor shape now, but Lee Sang-hyeok's performance in the Asian Games half a month ago was very eye-catching. There should be no big problem in leading the team through the first round of the bubble tournament.

Su Cheng also became interested and took out her mobile phone to watch the game.

Lin Ran came to her side.

As soon as he opened the live broadcast room, he saw a jaw-dropping scene.

Xiaoheiblank got the jungle troll in this game. After failing to catch it, he still wanted to invade the GEN upper jungle area, but his opponent caught him.

Normally, the troll has the acceleration of W [Frozen Realm] and the blocking position of E [Ice Pillar], so it is relatively easy to escape.

Moreover, the captain used by Cuvee has a relatively weak ability to retain people without a big move.

But Xiao Hei showed Lin Ran and all the audience what it means to not take the ordinary path.

In full view of everyone, he blocked his position with a pillar!

In the end, the only area left for you to pass is a narrow road!

"Ah?!" Lin Ran was stunned.

An Bixin under the camera was also confused. He seemed to feel the same as Lin Ran.

But he naturally wouldn't give up the opportunity presented to him. He used the wine barrel, meat, egg, onion and chicken to step forward and directly stun the troll. Cuvee directly took away the first blood with one shot.

Xiao Hei's outrageous operation is not over yet.

In a team battle in the middle, Bang's Ice successfully reached the ruler, and Lee Sang Hyuk's Akali successfully jumped over the tower with her ultimate move to kill the opponent.

But just when Faker wanted to withdraw from the GEN defense tower, another pillar got stuck in front of him!

He was so stunned that he couldn't leave smoothly, and in the end, the head was taken away by Chief An!

"Boxes, boxes, boxes!" Hongmi smiled and let out a burst of hearty laughter.

Ten seconds later, Jack had eaten and drank enough to join the camp watching the game. After seeing Xiao Hei's operation clearly, he was shocked, "...Isn't this an actor? Just say something if you are coerced!" "

"I remember that the blank operation was okay before. How did it become like this?" Lin Ran felt confused.

Even the game commentators were stunned, and the audience was also rustling, presumably discussing the jungler's unnatural maneuvers.

Even so, SKT still maintains a balance of power.

It wasn't until 20 minutes later that Li Sang Hyuk and Xiao Hei caught traces of the survivors in the wild area.

"Faker didn't hesitate and just launched his ultimate move!"

Showmaker flashed up the wall and tried to escape.

But this is useless in front of the flexible Akali.

Lee Sang Hyuk's second paragraph R posted it!

Then, a pillar was erected in front of him!

Since she was in a blind spot, Akali was stuck in the corner by a pillar and couldn't move. She could only watch the showmaker escape!

"Ah this..." The commentator stuttered, not knowing how to smooth things over.

"I almost want to laugh!" Jin Gong was also overjoyed, laughing loudly and forming a duet with Hongmi.

The private room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

This opportunity was not seized, and GEN decisively took advantage of the gap between Faker and his ultimate move to activate Baron.

Li Sang Hyuk's eyes were red, but he could only watch Baron Nash fall into the opponent's hands.

GEN's operating rhythm has begun again.

In an advantageous game, this suffocating slow pressure left SKT completely breathless.

In the end, Bang wanted to find an opportunity to force a group start, but now that autumn has come, Cuvee began to exert his strength.

The two consecutive barrels were followed by R [Cannon Barrage], which not only divided the terrain, but also destroyed the entire back row of SKT!

"Leader An E flashed into the scene and started banging!"

Bang was directly killed by the damage. Although Lee Sang Hyuk successfully killed Cheok Emperor in the back row, at a glance, all his teammates were killed.

The rest of him was helpless.

"GEN doesn't care about Akali. They push into the middle high ground as a group and plan to end the game in one wave!"

Lee Sang Hyuk also wanted to cut off the line of troops and borrowed another 22 seconds from Xiang Tian who copied his former top laner Marin.

But Corejj didn't give him a chance, and kept harassing him from the side. Finally, he forced Faker, who was still in health, to retreat, and took the two remaining bins to join his teammates.

"No more, no more miracles!" the commentator shouted hoarsely, "GEN is going to end this game with one wave!"

The moment the crystal collapsed, it also announced the end of SKT's S8 journey.

"This is the second time in his career that Faker has missed the global finals!"

"SKT has a big problem with this year's signings and lineup construction. They need to make adjustments next year..."

Lin Ran looked at Li Sang Hyuk holding his forehead under the camera, with a look of sadness on his face, and mixed feelings in his heart.

Lee Sang Hyuk, who had had several peak duels with him, now left the stage feeling helpless and helpless.

After Showmaker defeated the old king, he could no longer conceal his inner joy. He grinned with satisfaction.

When Lin Ran recalled the agreement he made with Lee Sang Hyuk to meet again in the S Games after the Asian Games, he could not help but feel a bit of sadness.

If he continues to fight like this, will he end up like this one day?

He frowned.

At first, Su Cheng was still thinking about Blank's incredible operation today.

Turning around, I found that my boyfriend's expression was not right.

Looking at the listless Li Sang Hyuk on the screen, Su Cheng's eyes moved and he probably guessed something.

She wrapped her boyfriend's hand with her soft palm.

"Lin Ran, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Su Cheng looked directly into her boyfriend's eyes.

"Thank you..." Lin Ran hid the emotion in his eyes. He felt that he didn't need to think so much now. The most important thing was to play well in the next World Championship.

After completing this goal, think about what you want to do in the future.

The thought cheered him up.

"Eat food, eat food!" Lin Ran greeted his girlfriend.

EDG hold on!
