LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

"In just 24 minutes, YM easily defeated GEN!" I remember saying loudly, "We have won the LPL division and have a good start in this year's World Championship!"

Xu Xiu put her hands under her cheekbones and stared blankly at her 24-inch monitor.

The restless sounds of the audience were completely blocked out by sound-isolating headphones.

The other four teammates have already taken off their headphones, but he has not yet recovered.

The settlement interface pops up.

Below the bright red defeat is the kill ratio of both sides in this game.

YM beheaded 18 people in 24 minutes, while GEN's kill count... was 0.

Zero seal.

Although the team harvested an earth dragon, it was not a Linglong Tower, but it was definitely a shame and a great shame that they did not harvest a single head from beginning to end.

Xu Xiu's record is 0/1/0. Judging from the record alone, he is the least criminal and can even win SVP.

But KDA cannot reflect everything.

Xu Xiu knew that the problem in this round was her fault.

The opponent's card is 3/0/13, and the group participation rate is close to 90%. It can be said that Lin Ran is present in the entire game.

Drizzt will always drive the rhythm accurately and go to other locations on the map to start battles with more and less, constantly gaining advantages for YM and rolling the snowball.

And when he chose the Enchantress, he relied on local spirit binding in the lane, but the last hit didn't make up for the win.

In the end, he held back a two-piece suit, but did not dare to enter the team fight. Lin Ran could defend him alone with a yellow card on his head. Xu Xiu felt that he would be killed instantly if he was stunned, so he did not frequently harass him from the side to consume YM.

He is basically useless in this set, mainly used to gather ten people to start the game.

Showmaker was silent.

Although he had studied a lot of Lin Ran's game videos beforehand, it was only when he actually fought face to face on the field that he realized how terrifying his opponent was.

The feeling of oppression was so strong that it felt suffocating.

It's not that Lin Ran's laning performance was terrible. After all, in this round he was using Drizzt, who was not good at laning.

But the rhythm.

Every attack was as precise as a scalpel, cutting at the weakest point of GEN. He also did things like beating a drowned dog. After Cuvee handed over the flash, Lin Ran was stunned and caught the sword demon twice in a row.

Moreover, he controlled very few mistakes and did not give his opponents a chance at all.

Under the ebb and flow, GEN was completely dragged into Lin Ran's rhythm.

Just like a boxer in the ring, GEN's punch was blocked, and then YM caught the gap before he punched again, and struck him down with a violent attack.

Xu Xiu could only admire Lin Ran's overall view, and his ability to see the battle situation was unique at the moment.

Emperor Chi glanced at Showmaker.

He didn't know how confident his rookie mid laner would be to face Lin Ran again after finishing the opening game.

In the YM contestant seat, Lin Ran stood up and drank all the water in the paper cup, smiling at the camera and gesturing with his thumb.

This opening game was easy and comfortable for him, with no difficulty.

The enchantress on the opposite side is just like a wooden stake, and can only rely on the lane to develop. He can even go to the sideline to lead the rhythm at will.

Official photographer Ichimura keenly captured this shot.

When the audience in the live event room saw YM's victory, they laughed and chatted in the chat channel.

【Good start, comfortable】

[Zero head count is really a smile. The LCK third seed is 10% off? 】

[I'm really good at it. What if Jack gives one as a counter-tower? 】

[Is this the new generation LCK mid laner who claims to be as famous as chovy and ucal? I can’t even look at it]

[Brother Ran is a bad game for GEN. Killing Showmaker teammates is much more exciting than killing him himself]

The five YM people walked towards the GEN player seats, and Jin Gong smiled broadly.

This game was really fun for him. Xiaoyao and Lin Ran were just living on the top lane in the early stage, constantly creating advantages for him. The head economy was all given to Jace, in order to let Piltover's second battalion commander in the mid-term. It can penetrate the soul with one shot.

"The average output is over 1,000," Jimu Gong hummed happily, "I never expected that you can actually gain damage by playing GEN."

Unless there is an even more exaggerated matchup gap in the top lane today, Jin Gong will firmly hold the first place in each unit's data on the first day of the group stage.

"That wave of TP bottom lane, I also gave you a wave of Binxuan!" Jack started again with a shy face, "How about I treat you well?"

"Huh," Xibaren said dismissively, "What does the soldier I grabbed with my own ability have to do with you?"

A few people were chatting and laughing, which was in sharp contrast to the sullen GEN players.

Seeing the other party's expression, Lin Ran decisively gave up the idea of ​​communicating with them, returned to his seat, rolled up his peripherals, and got off the stage.

Vincent was waiting at the entrance of the passage and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

After a few words of congratulations, he got down to business, "Jin Gong, you have a main stage interview. Brother Ran, you are from our LPL, so you don't need a translator..."

The group parted ways.

The LPL post-game interview location was set in a relatively conspicuous location, with lights all around and several cameras waiting for him. Yuzhen was waiting for him with a microphone in his hand.

Lin Ran greeted her and discussed the interview issues with the host.

"I may ask about the bomber's bottom lane later... Is it convenient to answer?" Yuzhen said this in advance to avoid any surprises during the interview.

Lin Ran agreed without much hesitation, "You can say, no problem."

Having already been selected, YM has no intention of hiding anything.

Of course, Redmi is not so generous and shares such a Bomberman system for free.

His real purpose was to muddy the waters in the group stage.

YM showed off its new routine first, will you learn from other teams?

It's unrealistic not to spend time on research. You can use it without others. Especially now that YM has introduced the Bomberman system with great results. Even if the team doesn't use it themselves, they still have to know how to deal with it.

Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

For example, when a strong team faces a weak team, under normal circumstances, it has a 70% chance of winning. However, once the opponent uses the Bombman system, the strong team has a high chance of winning without knowing the strength and breakthrough points of the Bombman system. You may be successfully attacked by surprise and lose the game.

You know, strong teams are most afraid of variables.

They are not afraid of the weak team playing against them strictly, because as long as everything goes according to the preset settings, the weak team's probability of winning will become very low.

Variables mean that they are uncontrollable and will greatly affect the winning rate.

As we all know, the time of the group stage is very tight, only eight days in total. Putting aside the necessary links such as formal competitions, interviews, and promotional video shooting, there is very little time left for the team to adjust.

After spending a lot of energy to imitate this Bomberman system, the final results achieved by each team's temporary learning will definitely be different.

The impact is that the strength stratification between the teams will become chaotic and disorderly in the current version.

Especially in the second round of the group stage, each team has to play three games in one day to ultimately determine its qualifying situation.

The Bomberman system that YM took out today will undoubtedly make many teams very nervous.

Once this sudden system drags down the team's group stage points, in order to ensure their ranking, they can only put some tactical reserves in the second round.

At that time, YM can also steal a few sets and save them for the next knockout round.

Hongmi Abacus is playing very loudly, and it is just a routine.

After Lin Ran said he was ready, Yuzhen invited him to stand next to him and faced the camera with a smile, "Good afternoon, viewers!"

"It's an honor to invite Brother Ran to accept our post-game interview... Let's say hello to the audience first."

After the routine self-introduction, Yuzhen immediately asked the first question, "How do you feel now that you have won your first victory in this year's global finals?"

"I'm very happy," Lin Ran replied without thinking, "standing on this stage again after a year, the familiar feeling is back."

"It feels familiar..." Yuzhen said with a smile, "This is Brother Ran's first time coming to Busan to compete. Are you satisfied with the accommodation and training environment these days?"

"The hotel conditions are not as good as those of the S7 World Championship, but after getting used to it during this period, I think it's not bad," Lin Ran added, "It's not too bad."

After hearing these words, the audience in the live broadcast room began to get excited again.

[Low EQ: What a rubbish hotel. High EQ: This hotel is not that bad]

【Is Busan OK? 】

[I read on Weibo that hotel air conditioners are always broken, which is really outrageous]

[Fist, did you book a Hammer Hotel? 】

Yuzhen asked the question he was most concerned about in this interview, "Today I discovered that YM also uses the new system of Bomberman. Can you tell us the reason for choosing this lineup?"

"It's mainly because it fits the current version better," Lin Ran responded. "Now there are more AD mid laners in the mid-to-upper swing positions. Characters such as Sword Girl, Sword Demon, and Yasuo are more popular. The missing ones are Who can AP ask for?"

"Hard supports with control are more popular now. If mage supports like Zyra can't come out, they can only find junglers and bot laners," he said eloquently. "And among the jungle roles now, spiders can't be used. On the field, there is only one character named Wine Barrel, and its strength is on the edge of T1, not particularly strong.”

"There is no way to supplement the jungle support, so we have to let the ADC choose the mage. Compared with other mages, Bomberman has a better ability to cooperate with the team, so we chose him."

Lin Ran didn't go into detail about the bomber's abilities. He could only say that everyone who knows it understands it, and those who don't know can't do anything about it.

Giggs' strength lies in his ability to clear lines safely and quickly. Although he does not have line rights against most combinations in the early stage, he can quickly clear out minions and will not let line rights drag down himself and the team.

A large number of area damage skills allow him to take advantage of the pull before the team battle begins, and he can hold the line when the team is at a disadvantage. Even in the face of the advancement of the Baron BUFF, Bomberman also has a good ability to clear troops.

Moreover, Bomberman walks down the lane and teleports, which can not only replenish the line, but can also be used to support teammates when necessary. In addition, R [Scientific Hell Cannon] also has the function of long-distance casting, and can participate in battles in other areas in a short time. .

The most important point is that the speed of dismantling the tower is extremely fast.

Although Ziggs’ attack speed is slow, since Riot has taken care of mages by allowing heroes with twice the attack power to enjoy a 50% AP bonus when attacking defense towers, Bomberman relies on this mechanism and the passive [Trigger-Trigger] ], combined with W [fixed-point blast], the ability to push down towers is also quite strong.

Especially after harvesting the Rift Pioneer, Bomberman's strength in this aspect is even more vividly demonstrated.

The Canyon Pioneer can knock down nearly half of a tower's health, while the level one W [Fixed-Point Explosion] can directly blast a defense tower with less than 25% health.

This means that with just a few touches of the turret, summoning the Vanguard can directly destroy it.

This is an advantage that all other shooters and mages do not have.

If the tower is pushed quickly, the team will be able to snowball more efficiently after gaining an advantage.

From all aspects, Giggs is a perfect bottom lane tool.

In the final analysis, the status of ADC today is too humble.

If we put aside the version of last year's World Championship where the ADC was responsible for 35% of the team's output, then a single-line character like Sword Girl Sword Demon would not be able to play, and he would just have to be a dog for Eddie Xi.

The situation now can be called a polar reversal.

The bottom lane has to sacrifice for the top, middle and jungle. In order to choose physical output for the top and middle lanes, they have to bear the responsibility of supplementing spell damage.

After finishing the interview, Lin Ran thanked the staff, returned the microphone and rushed to the team lounge.

In the first round of the group stage, there will be 6 games every day, which means that 12 teams will play their first World Championship match today.

Lin Ran, like other teammates, wanted to go back to the hotel immediately after the game and was too lazy to stay at the scene.

"There is a promotional video to be shot at noon tomorrow, and after the MAD game in the evening, two domestic e-sports media will be interviewed..." Guo Hao went through his schedule one by one and arranged these activities properly so as not to affect the normal training of the team members. and rest.

After all, this is not his first time playing in the global finals, and Guo Hao's work in this area highlights his familiarity.

Lin Ran boarded the bus, turned on his phone and started replying to messages.

His girlfriend who was staying in China apparently also watched the opening game and repeatedly praised his card proficiency on WeChat.

After getting the information about his relatives and friends, it was still a short distance from the hotel. On a whim, Lin Ran started browsing the e-sports forum again.

Originally he just wanted to see how netizens praised him, but a post attracted his attention - a hot topic on Korean net: the opening match between YM and GEN.

Lin Ran clicked in immediately.

Everything inside is sprayed with GEN, the translation is honest and elegant, and it still has that familiar smell.

[I’m laughing so hard. Did GEN win SKT just to give away points? What a shame for the Republic of Korea]

[As well as LZ and Griffin, they both fell at the feet of GEN in the bubble game... Thinking about it carefully, they really killed the hope of LCK in China. It was simply a civil war fantasy]

[Before the game, I thought that GEN could not beat YM. After all, the hard power is here, and it is understandable to lose the game, but why is there a zero seal? The whole audience was chased and beaten, could it be a little bloody? 】

[At home in Busan, we were beaten 18-0 in the opening game. How can you explain it to me? No shame! 】

[We will lose to TL next. After losing TL, we will lose to MAD. No one will lose next. 】

This post made Lin Ran laugh. He directly shared it in the YM training department group chat so that other teammates could also appreciate it.

After returning to the hotel, everyone in YM hurried to the restaurant to have dinner.

The game started at 5 pm local time in Korea. Although the opening game ended quickly, the post-game interviews still took up a lot of time. It was already 7 pm when we returned to the hotel.

It happened to be dinner time.

Lin Ran took a beef burger, some fries and juice, and returned to his seat to watch the game.

The match between TL and MAD in the same group has come to an end. Teacher Ohmu is in quite stable condition. As a veteran, he can still shine in the LCS division. He has maintained a very good level in the World Championship and can be called a conscientious Korean aid.

In 35 minutes, TL finally defeated the second seed in the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan divisions, giving the North American team their first win.

After dinner, Lin Ran and his teammates went upstairs and returned to the training room. Group A has just finished its first day of competition, and Group BC is still at the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center and cannot hold a training match.

Therefore, Redmi made an appointment with FNC, a Group D team that did not play on the first day. The No. 1 seeds in the two divisions will have a BO5 training match in the evening.

The agreed start time was eight o'clock, and Lin Ran saw that it would start in less than half an hour. This time was definitely not enough time to start a qualifying round. He could only use the computer to watch the games and videos.

Next up is G2 versus FW.

Ah P appears again. His hairline is getting higher and higher, and he is becoming more and more optimistic.

BP started, and he was chatting and laughing with his jungler Jankos. It seemed that he didn't care about FW at all.

Perkz took out his Enchantress in this game and faced off against Fengtang's Zoe.

Lin Ran thought this would be the stage for the mid laners of both sides, but the good news came first from the top lane.

Wunder, the top laner of G2, controlled the sword girl, and at level three, he single-handedly defeated Hanabi's captain!

From the perspective of the camera, Hanabi was a little confused, scratching his hair and confused about the situation.

When he came online again, Wunder controlled the line of troops in front of his own tower, and the captain was no longer able to play.

As long as he dares to step forward to hit him, Wunder will definitely use the remaining health minion as a springboard, and Q [Blade Impact] will move forward to forcefully exchange blood with him.

"This sword girl is a bit hardworking!" Jin Gong, who was standing behind Lin Ran, noticed two Dolan swords lying in the Wunder equipment column.

The Dolan series of equipment is brought out just for laning. The basic attributes are quite attractive, but the disadvantage is that it cannot be synthesized into other equipment. If you sell it, you will lose a lot of money. Normally, just buying one is enough.

Wunder's equipment is clearly intended to put treasure in the lane.

"The captain can only call the jungler, otherwise the army line will be stuck here for a minute or two, and he will be very uncomfortable." Lin Ran glanced at the small map, "Then if Jankos comes to the road at this time and counter-crouchs... "

Jankos has a really keen sense of smell. His Olaf originally brushed from top to bottom, but when he saw that the situation on the top lane was favorable to his own side, he decisively gave up on the bottom group of Stone Beetles and turned around to rush up.

Because Olaf cleared the jungle too quickly, it took less than 3 minutes and 20 seconds for him to return to the top half.

This happened to come face to face with the FW jungler who was taking the full brush route from bottom to top.

"The reverse squat is here!"

Shuang Dolan's Sword Girl was so powerful in combat at this time that her head tilted. Although the trolls in the jungle of FW were also very strong, they were obviously no match for G2 in the jungle.

Irelia took the lead in killing the troll, and after getting the red BUFF from the opponent's jungler, she used her triumph to regain a mouthful of blood, and continued to chase Hanabi's captain.

Jankos was even more ruthless, using Olaf to directly flash Q [Countercurrent Throw] to save people!

After handing over the flash, Hanabi twisted left and right, but was hit by another ax from Olaf. In the end, Jankos resisted the tower, and Wunder entered the tower and easily killed the opponent.

"It's gone, it's gone." Lin Ran felt that the Flash Wolves were gone when he saw this. "G2 feels okay this year."

Jin Gong also echoed, "This wunder looks good, they are still very competitive in the middle and jungle."

Jack went to the restroom and when he came back, he heard his teammates discussing G2. He immediately said with a smile, "Haven't you ever thought of a possibility?"

"Is it possible that Flash Wolf is too weak?" He spread his hands, "After all, Group B is a recognized weak group."

Before the game, public opinion generally believed that only one RNG could play in Group B, including Flash Wolves from the LMS division, PVB from the Vietnam division, and G2, the third seed from Europe and America.

It is obvious that he is extremely weak.

"There's nothing wrong with you saying that." Lin Ran thought it made sense. G2's crushing of Flash Wolves only proved that they were better than FW.

The next game was RNG versus PVB, but YM was going to play a training match, so Lin Ran didn't look down and just glanced at the results during his free time.

RNG easily won, with Uzi's Kai'Sa dominating the game with 11 kills.

Group C was a massacre. KT faced G-REX and showed the strength of the LCK's No. 1 seed. It only took 21 minutes to crush the opponent in three ways.

VIT versus 100T is a much-anticipated battle between Europe and the United States.

100T's lineup this year is pretty good. The top laner is Ssumday, who was known as one of the four top laners in South Korea at that time. The mid laner is even more heavyweight and is well known in the League of Legends world.

Ryu.

Lin Ran was a little regretful when he saw that Yue Lun was not in the same group as him. After all, these are the older generation of e-sports people. It would be great if they could meet like in S6.

In this game, Jiizuke, the midfielder of the Little Bees, used his unique skill Ike. Although he was at a disadvantage in the early game, he started to single-handedly play on the wing in the mid-game.

The entire 100T team only had Ryze with one single point. Rune Mage was completely passive when facing Ekko. He couldn't catch the flexible time assassin at all and could only wait for the opponent to come to him before he could counterattack.

But Jiizuke just pushes the tower and doesn't care about anything else. If his life is in danger after being hit, he will directly use R to restore health.

The game was deadlocked for 25 minutes, and he was stunned to bulldoze all the high ground.

Then 100T panicked. They seized a wave of opportunities to cripple VIT's ADC, and directly opened the baron, trying to force Ekko over.

But something unexpected happened.

Jiizuke had previously left a true eye in the opponent's lower jungle area after destroying all the crystals.

100T made a big mistake in order to lay out Baron's vision.

They did not clear the enemy's field of vision in their lower jungle area, allowing Jiizuke to easily teleport over and drive straight in with a group of super soldiers.

The other three teammates used their lives to interfere with 100T's return to the city and teleportation, leaving them all in the dragon pit.

Ekko's tower demolition efficiency was extremely fast, and with the cooperation of super soldiers, he finally succeeded in knocking off the main crystal with Z-type resonance at the moment when everyone in 100T rushed back!

This rare scene of stealing a house aroused even Lin Ran, who was exhausted and ready to rest, a little excited.

The European viewers were even more aggressive on the stage, constantly mocking the North Americans in the live broadcast room. EU\u003eNA filled the chat channel.

This European and American war is already considered a more entertaining game at present. After all, other games are one-sided crushing.

But by the next day, everyone had forgotten about the game.

The crazy Group D is here.

FNC, IG, C9 and AFs.

This can be said to be the group with the closest team strength. Before the game, everyone generally believed that this group would be inseparable.

It turns out that this is indeed the case.

In the first game, FNC faced IG.

The two sides started a big brawl at the beginning, and it was a mess in the upper half. However, Ou Cheng and Sima Laojie in the bottom lane were still growing steadily, and they were stunned to play themselves into placing orders.

A total of 25 heads broke out between the two sides in 15 minutes, and IG had a slight advantage.

TheShy stood up and took over the game at this time. His Jace was extremely suppressive and his positioning was so wild that he would rush into his face as the opponent gathered together.

This has confused FNC.

At first, I thought there was someone behind me and TheShy came out as bait, but after wandering around for a long time I didn’t find anyone else from IG.

Hailisang became angry.

There is someone who can pretend better than me?

Aren’t you giving away someone’s head?

The Luo he operated decisively drove RW from the shadow corner to TheShy!

Jiang Chenglu, who had no one behind him, didn't seem to expect that the opponent would dare to fight back. With no teammates behind him to help, he capsized the boat and could only lose one life.

But after his resurrection, he continued to play like this.

This time Hailisang directly flashed W [Grand Appearance] to drive him.

Lin Ran, who was sitting backstage, knew the fish was hooked when he saw this scene.

This time Jiang Chenglu is followed by four other IG teammates!

"TheShy started the stopwatch to avoid a wave of burst damage, Sapphire's bull head flashed WQ Second Company...Ning Wang Qinggangying EE dodged to reach three people!"

Galio of Broiler spreads his wings and the hero appears!

FNC's formation was instantly dispersed, and TheShy who survived followed his teammates and started charging.

In a devastating team battle, IG used fishing tactics to wipe out the FNC team.

Now that the game has reached 28 minutes, the resurrection time of the C position is as long as 40 seconds. IG simply does not even play the baron, and goes directly to bulldoze it.

The next match between AFs and C9 in Group D was even more back-and-forth.

C9 probably got inspiration from the training matches and copied RNG's turn off the lights and let the sheep herd strategy.

AFs wants to rely on the personal ability of top laner Kiin to open up the situation.

The early stage of this game is a contest between spear and shield.

I have to say that C9’s strategy was very successful.

They took advantage of the African team's weak ability to end the game and successfully dragged it down with their mid-to-late lineup.

Although the economic gap remained around 5k, the African team just failed to turn this advantage into a victory.

After pushing all the way to the high ground, he gave C9's women's clothing boss super soldiers to supplement his development.

The game dragged on until 45 minutes. C9 relied on Ornn's passive equipment amplification, allowing Sneaky's divine equipment Kai'Sa to end the game with Icathian Rainstorm.

The Korean audience at the scene was very disappointed.

Among the three LCK teams currently playing, only KT, one of the favorites to win, has achieved one victory.

This was unacceptable to them.

"Let's go, get ready to play!" Guo Hao quickly reminded the players when he saw the C9 players getting up to shake hands with the African team.

Lin Ran rushed to the stage with his peripherals, and what was about to happen next was the battle between YM and TL.

The senior brother is now full of confidence. Yesterday, YM defeated GEN in the opening game. TL's current qualifying situation is very optimistic.

They only need to squeeze out GEN to break into the quarterfinals.

It would be easier if you could use some tricks to steal a round from YM.

Thinking of this, the senior brother laughed out loud.

Unimportant games will be abbreviated, and the group stage will not be very long.

Big chapter tomorrow (real)
