LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

Lin Ran has always had high expectations for the theme songs released by Riot Music every year.

After putting on the headphones, he clicked the video play button.

Crows were circling and flying around, making hoarse sounds. You could vaguely hear a string of English, and the voice was full of passion.

"Ran's Flag of Command gun truck destroyed SKT. He wants to win the 2016 Global Finals championship trophy at Staples Center, the place where Faker once became a god!"

Lin Ran's English was not bad, but the voice of the explanation was too low, so he had to play it back and forth three times before he could understand it.

The scene is fixed on a battlefield, surrounded by dust and deserted areas.

Various weapons were scattered on the ground, including Sword Queen's Western sword, Riven's rune sword... and a broken flag with the Summoner's Trophy printed on it.

The lens blurs repeatedly, as if a person is slowly waking up. The sun is scorching in the sky, and the blazing sunshine is shining in front of the eyes.

At this moment, the prelude of the theme song replaced the happy cries of the crows, and the exciting and short melody echoed in Lin Ran's ears.

Breathing quickly and slightly weak, the first angle he watched showed 'himself' getting up from the ground, and the screen showed his outstretched hands.

The wrist is covered and protected by a black wristband.

Lin Ran recognized it at a glance. It was a gift given to him by his previous girlfriend before the S6 World Championship. It was mainly used to protect him from tenosynovitis.

The wristband had been with him for a whole year. During the S8 season, it was worn out and looked a bit unsightly, so Lin Ran replaced it with a customized one from YM Club.

So, does this year’s theme song MV really feature you as the protagonist?

The 'self' in the picture repeatedly looked at her palms and even groped her body up and down, seeming a little confused.

The camera switches, this time to a third-person perspective.

Even if Lin Ran's face has been animated, it can still be recognized at a glance.

It's just that he doesn't have glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his handsome appearance is full of confusion. The black clothes on his body also look a little shabby. The sand slowly slips from the folds of the clothes, revealing a golden five-pointed star on his chest. .

After changing to the third-person perspective, more information points on the battlefield appear in the field of view.

Among the battle flags fluttering in the wind behind them are the team logos that are familiar to countless players.

S1 runner-up against All authority (aAa), S2 runner-up Azubu Frost, S3 runner-up Royal Family...

The flag fabric was torn into strips, and the flagpole was stuck in the sand at an angle.

Among the weapons scattered on the ground were props such as Galen's great sword and Darius's black cutter.

Behind the MV protagonist Lin Ran, there is a badly damaged combat mecha.

Judging from the storage points for the flamethrower and harpoon, this is obviously Rambo's equipment.

‘Lin Ran’ in the video was looking around, telepathically looking towards the distant mountains.

Instinct told him that the answer he wanted was there.

Now he is the only survivor on the battlefield. Facing the unknown situation ahead, it is very reasonable to bring a few weapons.

Perhaps those swords and giant axes were too heavy to carry around, so he finally chose three pieces of equipment.

An orb of deception, a book of runes and a pair of Hextech leg blades, these are the props for his next advancement.

The orb is not too big, just fits in your pocket; the Dharma book is about the length of your forearm, very thick, and can be carried behind your back; the leg blade looks huge, but it does not seem heavy when held in your hand, and the edge is extremely sharp, I guess. Can be used as a tool for climbing cliffs.

When Lin Ran saw this, he found that Jack, who was sitting next to him, was also looking over. He took off his headphones and heard the muttering of the Shiba Inu.

"Brother Ran will be the protagonist, Guigui..."

Although the voice was not loud, Lin Ran could still hear a hint of envy in it.

To be the protagonist of Riot Games' official MV is a big deal.

Putting on the headphones again, in the rhythmic electronic sound, a hoarse male voice sounded, "Welcome to the wild no heroes and villains..."

The camera zooms out, and the boy carries the rune book behind his back, holds the Hextech leg blade in both hands, and moves towards the distance.

Cross the sand dunes, insert your leg blades into the gaps in the cliffs, and climb up step by step.

There is an extremely tall figure in the distance, as tall as a mountain peak, looming in the clouds, and its posture looks like the skin of Kalista's Spear of Champions.

The boy climbed up a cliff with difficulty, and above was an endless wheat field.

He took a breath and continued walking forward.

At this time, the clouds blocked the too hot sunlight and cast large shadows on the wheat fields.

The scene suddenly changed and showed another person. He had a delicate face, deep eye sockets, meticulous brown hair, and a demon doll in his hand.

Lin Ran recognized this person's identity at a glance.

Pilsen.

The animated Bilson in the MV quietly came behind Lin Ran.

But 'Lin Ran' seemed to have noticed something. He was on alert, holding the Hex Technology leg blade behind his back with both hands.

"Prove yourself and...RISE RISE!"

As the music climaxed, Bilson's eyes flashed in the picture, and he no longer hesitated, swinging his right hand to throw out the puppet in his hand!

But 'Lin Ran' reacted extremely quickly, and the extremely sharp leg blade easily hit the demon doll, and instantly bounced it away!

The attack of the leg blade did not slow down, it swung out in a semicircle and chopped away the wheat straw around it!

Wheat straws fluttered in the air, hiding the position of the leg blade.

Bilson frowned, jumped back to dodge the attack, and once again waved the demon doll forward in the air. Taking advantage of the moment before Lin Ran's leg blade was retracted, he got into the opponent's arms.

'Lin Ran' initially wanted to use the leg blade on his other hand to block, but his movements were slightly slow for a moment, and Bilson succeeded.

The demon doll in his arms began to spin violently, and even the surrounding space showed signs of being torn and twisted!

Command: Shockwave!

There is no doubt that if you are caught by this shock wave, you will probably lose your combat effectiveness on the spot.

The screen gave a close-up, focusing on Bilson's face. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking quite proud.

But soon, his eyes widened, as if he was in disbelief at what was happening in front of him.

The camera quickly zoomed in, and through Bilson's brown eyes, you could see 'Lin Ran' leaping high, and the leg blades tied to his hands hit him hard!

This blow was so powerful and so fast that it was impossible to dodge!

Hex Ultimatum!

The clouds completely covered the sun, and the wheat field was completely dark.

Immediately, a piercing white light appeared from the right side of the screen, cutting across and making people feel chilled all over!

‘Lin Ran’ had a stern look on his face, the camera was focused on his upper body, but Bilson was nowhere to be seen.

It was just the wheat straw that he chopped off when he blocked the golem, and now it landed lightly on the ground. The camera shifted downwards a little, and you could see the pieces of clothing hidden in the wheat straw, with the TSM team logo printed on them.

The devil also lost its magic support, fell from mid-air to the ground, and fell into the wheat straw.

‘Lin Ran’ didn’t even look at it, and at the same time abandoned the Hextech leg blade that had become eclipsed.

Crossing the wheat fields and walking up the steep road to cross the snow line, the scenery gradually changes to snow and ice. The sky is getting later and later, the sun sinks into the horizon, leaving only the last ray of light shining on the earth.

The figure of Champion Arrow Ashe appeared on the road. He was also as tall as a mountain and looked extremely holy in the ice and snow.

Finally, ‘Lin Ran’ saw a statue beside a frost-covered bridge.

It was a bald man with a long beard, holding a law book in his hand, a scroll on his back, and various runes printed on the surface of his body.

He was about to continue crossing the small bridge to the other side of the mountain when he heard footsteps.

‘Lin Ran’ looked towards the source of the sound.

A dark-haired boy wearing glasses appeared behind the statue.

He was carrying a scroll behind his back, looking down at the ground, still muttering something, and there were two golden five-stars on the chest of his clothes.

Lee Sang Hyuk.

The two seemed to be aware of it and looked at each other from afar.

The Dharma books and scrolls behind 'Lin Ran' and Li Sang Hyuk all lit up with blue light.

Li Sang Hyuk frowned, realizing that something was not right.

‘Lin Ran’ took out his rune book from behind and unfolded it calmly.

Faker knew it was too late, he closed his right hand into a claw, and a ball of blue energy with thunder appeared in it, and he smashed towards the opponent!

‘Lin Ran’ stroked the page of the book with his palm, and a rune on it flashed with dazzling light.

At this time, the tone of the background music rose again, "RISE RISE! Make 'em remember you..."

And the battle officially started.

The azure circular field spreads from the surrounding area, and the rune carvings emerge at the edge of the field, enveloping the field's power and colliding with the thunder!

There is no suspense, the lightning seems extremely small at this moment, and it is instantly swallowed up by the surge of magic!

Li Sang Hyuk was shocked, and he instinctively reached out to protect the scroll behind him.

But it is impossible to ignore the opponent's attack...

He looked up and saw that the sun had long disappeared.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a bolt of lightning penetrated the cover of the clouds and illuminated the area!

And Li Sang Hyuk also had lightning flashes on his body, which collided with the thunder falling from the sky!

Today's Faker is like the King of Thunder and Lightning coming to the world!

The energy in his hands is constantly accumulating, and his skills are as if they don't need blue, and they are pouring towards 'Lin Ran' with thunder and lightning effects!

But 'Lin Ran' closed the book suddenly, and now even his eyes turned pure blue!

Rune energy swept the entire place!

A shadow flashed out, and Ryze's figure appeared behind 'Lin Ran'. His height was not much higher than that of Kalista, the spear of champion that he had seen when climbing the cliff before!

The tall shadow like a mountain stretched out a palm and easily covered Li Sang Hyuk's head. The power of the runes flowed from top to bottom, locking him in place!

The runic imprisonment forcibly interrupted Faker's infinite skills, and the thunder and lightning on his body gradually died down.

‘Lin Ran’ aimed his palm at the imprisoned Li Sang Hyuk and shot out a ball of arcane energy with infinite power!

The light overflows and the entire screen is filled with azure blue!

When the blue light dissipated, Faker had disappeared without a trace.

The glacier is full of fissures, and forbidden scrolls lie quietly on them.

‘Lin Ran’ took a deep look.

This is what Ryze has been guarding all his life. Once the scroll is opened, the world will suffer a huge disaster.

The rune book that originally glowed with blue light in his hand now completely lost its light. He abandoned it, carried the fallen scroll on his back, and continued to move forward.

When crossing the bridge, ‘Lin Ran’ also saw the Champion’s Hidden Tribulation between the two mountains.

The night was long, but it did not stop Lin Ran from climbing the mountain.

A long time passed, around dawn, before Lin Ran saw the statues of Sword Lady, Blind Monk, Draven and Thresh in the distance. They had different expressions and postures, but they all looked towards the highest point of the mountain.

Not far away.

But at this moment, 'Lin Ran' groaned in pain. The camera followed him and looked down, only to see two bugs from the void crawling to his feet at some point and biting them. he!

The character's skin was also eroded by deep purple energy, and the burning pain forced "Lin Ran" to quickly find his opponent.

A man wearing a black robe slowly walked out from the side. His appearance and the shield-shaped SSG logo on the collar of his clothes proved everything.

CrownCrown.

The male voice of the theme song is passionate, "Push through hell and... RISE RISE!"

Under the beat of the beat, ‘Lin Ran’ took out the last piece of equipment from his pocket.

Ahri's Orb of Deception.

In an instant, he moved in front of the opponent like a ghost, and three balls of fox fire condensed and rushed towards the crown.

Crown was still accumulating strength in his hand, but ‘Lin Ran’ didn’t give him a chance to lock his position. He moved around in a flash, and the multiple movements of his soul attack made him elusive.

Being hit by balls of fox fire, the scars on Crown's body increased little by little.

It wasn't until 'Lin Ran' cast the last section of displacement that his eyes lit up, he put his hands together and shot a deep void energy towards the opponent's location!

‘Lin Ran’ was suppressed and unable to move.

Grip of Hades!

But when Crown immobilized his opponent, he discovered that the Orb of Deception had already flown towards him before that!

It was predicted!

The orb passed through his body and pulled back again, carrying a new and rich breath of life. When it returned to the hands of 'Lin Ran', the breath of life flowed into the body along the orb, restoring health to the originally injured body.

In the MV, Crown looks down and looks down at his heart.

The grip of Hades has been broken, and even the void insect swarms no longer obey his orders and fled away from the two of them.

‘Lin Ran’ glanced at the orb in his hand, turned around and continued to move towards the highest point.

When passing by the four statues, he stopped for a moment, staring as if he wanted to remember all four people in his mind.

Finally climbing to the highest point, 'Lin Ran' looked up. It looked like an altar. The main body was made of stone, showing a simple style.

One after another, hooded summoner stone statues appeared in front of him.

Six of the stone statues have team logos printed on their chests.

The camera slowly panned.

FNC, TPA, SKT, SSW, SKT, YM.

‘Lin Ran’ set his sights on the seventh summoner stone statue nearby.

There was still nothing there.

The sound of unhurried footsteps reached his ears, and 'Lin Ran' hurriedly groped for the equipment on his body.

The leg blade and the rune book had been abandoned by him, and the Deceit Orb could no longer activate mana within a short period of time after the battle...

The scroll carried on the back will cause disaster and cannot be used yet.

He has no power to fight back now!

The footsteps disappeared.

The visitor appeared in front of ‘Lin Ran’.

He holds two holy spears and has the YM team logo printed on his chest.

Surprisingly, his appearance is 90% similar to 'Lin Ran', but he is slightly greener and immature, and he looks a little younger!

The two 'Lin Ran' stood on the ground and looked at each other.

Then they seemed to understand something and smiled knowingly at each other.

'Lin Ran', who was holding both guns tightly, stepped aside to make a way, and with the Orb of Deception in his hand, he jumped up high and pressed the orb heavily on the chest of the seventh summoner statue!

"Higher and higher you chase it...RISE RISE!"

The theme song ends abruptly at its climax.

At dawn, the first ray of sunlight reflects on the stone statue.

The two YM black and red team logos complement each other and sparkle.

When Lin Ran saw this, he thought the MV was over. He was about to exit the full-screen playback, but found that there was still another section at the end.

The camera turned and came to the mountainside.

Many people were also climbing to the top, and the sunlight reflected on the altar on the highest peak produced changes.

The huge Summoner's Trophy with the altar as the base appeared in front of these people!

Everyone stopped and looked up at the highest point.

Their uniforms can be seen clearly in the picture.

KT, RNG, IG, G2, C9…

The camera dimmed again, and the scene disappeared completely.

When the lights come on again.

At the highest peak, the man on the altar slowly stood up.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses and his face remained calm and handsome.

The screen slowly shifted downwards, with two golden five-pointed stars shining brightly above the YM team logo on the chest.

Going down further, I found a black and red throne behind him.

The throne was majestic, but it shook slightly at this moment.

The source of the earthquake came from below.

The camera moved downwards, only to find that the throne was not standing on the ground, but on a huge rock!

This huge boulder stands next to the altar and is estimated to be thirty or forty meters high.

The stones were shaking.

Until it opens its eyes.

When the wings are spread out, the wind is strong enough to sweep over this mountain!

The muscles made of stones were tangled, and the whole body was full of strength. The long tail easily threw away a stone three people high.

The next moment, the stone statue carried the man into the air, looking down at all the climbers from a high place with a stern look on his face.

The Chinese title of "Ascending to the Ultimate Realm" appears in the center of the screen.

This time it's really over.

Lin Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, exited the MV playback interface, and browsed through the comments.

The theme song and MV have only been released for half an hour, but the comments section is already blowing up.

[Really awesome, Brother Ran took up at least 2/3 of the whole scene, he is really the male lead]

[Leg Blade - Green Steel Shadow, Rune Law Book - Ryze, Deceit Orb - Ahri, the three battle scenes represent the representative heroes that Brother Ran used in the S7 World Championship, right?]

[Why is it Ryze versus Ryze with Brother Li, but not other characters? 】

[Didn’t realize it? Faker is the Ryze who can hit three sets of W imprisonment after the first redesign of S5. It also adds the elements of the previous Thunder King. Now, it’s different]

[And the Ryze scroll, which went from Faker to Brother Ran, is it hinting at the inheritance of Shiyi Middle School? 】

[The throne and Brother Ran standing on Galio in the end are really handsome, and they are really played by fist]

Lin Ran didn't expect so many things at first. It has to be said that the audience's imagination was opened up, and there were many detailed control frame-by-frame playbacks, which revealed all the hidden elements in the picture, and they were regarded as easter eggs.

Many people are also praising this year's theme song. Although it is not as stunning as last year's "Legends Never Die" and does not have the grand epic feeling, it is worse than the passionate, passionate and high-spirited song.

In the YM group chat where Lin Ran was located, the messages kept coming.

All members of the training department have watched the MV once and were deeply shocked.

Jack typed angrily: [Why is Brother Ran the only one in the YM team? Am I not worthy? 】

The Garlic Bastard's yin and yang strange qi skills have not diminished at all, [Is it worthy? You have no idea in your mind? 】

Liu Qingsong immediately responded: [Jack, be satisfied, at least there is a statue of Draven, I didn't get a hair out of it! 】

Even Hongmi sent a few messages to express his envy.

He used to be a professional player and wanted to appear in the official MV, but after S3 won the S3 World Championship ticket for the team that year, he gave up his starting position to looper. After that, he slowly transformed into a coach and could no longer No chance.

WeChat messages on Lin Ran's phone kept flooding in, from classmates, friends and relatives who had just watched the MV... everyone wanted to chat with him.

He didn't reply to the message until a quarter of an hour before the plane landed in Busan.

A few group photos were taken at Gimhae International Airport, and the YM crowd boarded the bus prepared for them by Riot Games.

The person responsible for contact reception is still Vincent.

He was one step ahead and flew to South Korea after the LPL bubble game to help contact the hotel and plan the itinerary.

"Everyone has nothing to deal with after arriving at the hotel today," Vincent kept emphasizing relevant matters to the YM training department staff on the way, "On the 30th, the official will shoot a promotional video for the group stage, which will take up the whole afternoon... "

"When will the training room be available?" Guo Hao asked.

"You are the third team to arrive in Busan. The training room will not be ready until tomorrow morning." Vincent answered truthfully.

A large number of Riot staff are now in Seoul, and the play-in tournament will start in early October. This is considered the opening game of the S8 Global Finals. The employees are preparing for it, fearing that something will go wrong.

This resulted in not many Riot staff assigned to Busan, and the layout of the training room was a little slow.

"Jingong and Hongmi have already checked in at the hotel. They are on the 15th floor just like you." Vincent glanced at the notes, "Same as when we went abroad to compete. If you want to leave the hotel and act alone, you must contact me in advance. And report it to the manager of the training department, do you understand?"

This was not the first time for this group of people to participate in an international competition. They all knew this and nodded in agreement.

Lin Ran glanced at his phone. It was now 11 o'clock in the night in Seoul and ten o'clock in Shanghai. His girlfriend hadn't gone to bed yet, so he sent a WeChat message to Su Cheng to report that she was safe, and got a reply immediately.

Su Cheng lamented the plot of the MV and was about to take a shower and rest. Lin Ran did not disturb her and focused on the street scene outside the bus.

Although Busan is not as prosperous as Seoul, it is also the second largest city in South Korea and has a very developed nightlife.

Fried chicken restaurants and barbecue restaurants can be seen everywhere, and they are full of people. There are also elderly Korean uncles on the roadside. They must have drunk a lot of wine, and their faces are red and they are even walking unsteadily.

Driving all the way from Gimhae International Airport to the hotel, you can gradually smell the unique humid smell of the seaside.

"This is your first time in Korea," the driver muttered in Korean, "Our Busan is very beautiful, have you heard of Haeundae?"

Lin Ran waited for Jiang Chenglu to finish translating, and then replied, "I've heard that there is a movie with the same name."

The driver was very impressed by what he heard. He was obviously proud of the cultural impact of the country's film industry, and introduced them to the nearby food along the way.

"There is a restaurant that is very famous for its cheese hot dog sticks. It has a crispy and refreshing outer shell, rich and runny cheese, and delicious and tender hot dogs... Oh my god, I must buy two of them after get off work." The driver said to himself I was so greedy that I turned the steering wheel and drove the members of the YM training department to the coast.

Through the window, you can see the surging sea water in the distance. The waves are broken by stones, and the white foam generated quickly subsides.

"Ahead is the hotel we are staying in," Vincent pointed out the direction to Lin Ran and others, and at the same time motioned a few people to look to the side, "Have you seen this beach?"

"Huh?" Jack hadn't reacted yet.

"The S4OGN Summer Finals, KTA versus SSB, was held on this beach," Vincent said with some nostalgia, "It was such a grand occasion..."

"I guess if Lao Song comes here, he can really miss the value of 2014OGN." Shiba Inu smiled nervously.

It was the era when the Korean League of Legends was at its peak. Under a two-team competition system, dazzling new stars emerged one after another.

In addition to the Three Stars and Ten Sons, there are also Broiler, Kakao, Ssumday, Marin, Wolf Stick Group, Marquis and others. Although these people have different peak periods, looking back now, it is a complete melee of gods.

The bus stopped not far from the hotel, and the staff from the YM training department got off the bus one by one to pick up their suitcases.

Hongmi and Jin Gong were still waiting for them in the hotel lobby.

After not seeing each other for ten days, everyone chatted for a while before taking the elevator to the 15th floor.

The two Korean teams, KT and AFs, arrived in Busan earlier than them.

The remaining GEN are still staying in Seoul to prepare for the playoffs.

Since it was late and the training room had not been decorated yet, Hongmi arranged to go back to rest.

Lin Ran swiped his card and pushed the door open to enter the room.

Xiaotian behind him let out a cooperative sigh.

“Ocean view room!”

The hotel Riot chose for them is in Haeundae. When you open the curtains, you can see the boundless sea. Next to it is the Chinese Consulate in Busan. The location is perfect.

Lin Ran couldn't care less about admiring the beautiful scenery. He took out everything in his suitcase and hurriedly ran to take a shower.

After washing away the fatigue, I dried my hair and adjusted the sleep mode of the air conditioner, then lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Today I am preparing for the specific content of the next World Championship, and I also spent a lot of time on the plot of the mv. There is a little less writing. I originally planned to enter this chapter into the group stage, but I can only postpone it for one day.

There will be a big chapter tomorrow!
