LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

"Have you adjusted the time?" Lin Ran put on his gloves and was still communicating with his teammates in Shanghai and Seoul. "I have 2 minutes and 20 seconds left before the game starts."

The LPL official live broadcast room has already shown a countdown, and four people checked the time to ensure that the live broadcast images everyone saw were synchronized.

After finishing all this, Lin Ran, who was waiting for the start of the game, began to peel the lobster shells.

"What do you want to eat?" Jack's ears were sharp and he immediately noticed the movement on his side.

"Why do you care so much? You can't eat it anyway." Lin Ran grabbed a large piece of lobster meat, wrapped it in sauce and stuffed it into his mouth.

In an instant, the fragrance of shrimp meat and sauce were mixed together, and he leaned back and lay on the ergonomic chair with great enjoyment.

"Seafood, right..." Jack muttered dissatisfiedly, remembering his allergies.

Su Cheng kept fussing after hearing this, "We also have fried fish sticks, the taste is so delicious."

She picked up a piece of fried fish and dipped it in tartar sauce. The crispy sound of the crispy crust reached the ears of the Lianmai team members.

"How about you two doing AOE damage here?" Garlic Bastard was very angry, "Jack can't eat seafood, Xiba and I are almost crying!"

There was laughter in the voice.

But the next moment, the crisp sound of pastry colliding with teeth came again.

Xiaoyao was furious, "Sister Su, don't push yourself too far!"

He and Jack hadn't eaten yet. They originally planned to wait until they watched the game between RNG and YM before going out to have sex. They didn't expect the couple who went to Singapore to be so awesome.

"I didn't bite it!" Su Cheng argued for herself.

"It's really not her," Lin Ran suppressed a smile, "I can prove it."

Xiaoyao quickly found the culprit according to the elimination method, "...Jingong, what are you eating?"

"Fried chicken," Xibaren said in an innocent tone, "What's wrong?"

After speaking, he started chewing again.

"Xiaoyao, order takeout, man, I can't stand it anymore!" Jack yelled.

The Garlic Bastard immediately took action and started tinkering with the Shiba Inu about the meal selection for the evening.

At this moment, the countdown in the LPL official live broadcast room finally ended, the screen instantly dimmed, and then the promotional video for this year's spring game started playing.

Tengjing's home and away system is still in full swing. YM's consecutive championships in the World Championship have made the domestic game viewing atmosphere unprecedentedly high, and commercial advertising revenue is also increasing day by day.

It is not difficult for each club to work together with local departments to provide a home stadium.

In the video, representative players from clubs with home stadiums such as OMG, Snakes, WE, and RNG appeared one after another, with the landmark buildings behind them as the background, holding team flags in high spirits.

In the second half, the theme of the promotional video finally appeared.

Liu Qingsong, wearing the 2018 YM team uniform, stands in the center of the camera. Standing next to him are Jin Gong, Xiaotian, Jack and Lin Ran. On the background board behind him, the scarlet YM team logo is extremely eye-catching.

The next moment, the camera flashed suddenly.

When the camera stabilized, the people around Liu Qingsong were replaced by Khan, Xiao Longbao, Zhuo Ding and Lin Weixiang.

Three golden stars on the chest reflect dazzling light.

For YM, which has won three consecutive global finals, Tengjing has given enough cards. After all, this is the league's cash cow.

For this reason, they even dedicated half of the promotional video to create enough playing time for YM players.

Until the screen dimmed again, the logo of the League of Legends Professional League appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the sixth week of the 2019 LPL Spring Split," Yuzhen stood on the stage with a bright smile, "The game that will be played next..."

Su Cheng stuffed thick potatoes into her mouth, "Who do you think will win today?"

"I definitely support YM personally," Lin Ran leaned over and took a sip of the drink, "but if you look at it objectively, RNG will have an advantage."

He peeled off another piece of lobster meat and commented on the lineups and systems of both sides. "RNG is very afraid of teams that can put pressure on their midfielders. Whether it is Casa or Xiangguo, they are both junglers with strong early-stage abilities. Once the rhythm of the two is contained during the laning phase, their role will not be that great in the team battle."

"Que," Xiaoyao echoed, "They are very strong in the bottom lane, but they can't do anything in the early stage. When playing against RNG, as long as the midfielder moves first and catches Uzi once or twice, the game is basically won. "

They were very familiar with this routine, having used it countless times before.

Uzi's laning ability is really nothing to say now, but no matter how strong you are, you can't stand my swing. If you dare to press the line, I will attack from a flank. After cutting off your development, you can free up the bottom lane and let Liu Qingsong roam around and lead the rhythm.

Roll the snowball slowly and you will naturally win the game.

But now this doesn't work.

The main problem lies with Xiaolongbao and Zhuo Ding.

After playing the game for six weeks, there is still no tacit understanding between the midfielder and the jungler.

Knight has been subconsciously copying Lin Ran's style of play since two years ago. Nowadays, some tool players are playing well, and there is no problem in asking him to support him. However, the overall view and some details need to be improved.

The key point is command.

Zhuo Ding is limited by various factors and has not yet shown any commanding ability.

Most of the feedback he can give to his teammates is simple information reporting and processing. The entire YM team operates under Liu Qingsong's dispatch.

But no matter how strong the commander is, the focus is on himself for most of the game.

For example, Lin Ran at that time, when he was in command, the team would focus on the middle.

This will make it difficult for YM to release the mid laner in the early stage, and Xiaolongbao, who is under command, will mostly focus on the bottom lane.

Redmi is now urging the team to transfer command, leaving Zhuo Ding and Xiaolongbao in charge of the early and mid-term, while Liu Qingsong relies on his experience to control the later stages of the game.

However, command cannot be practiced in a day or two. Every judgment on the situation may affect the final outcome.

YM has no choice but to take it slow and plans to use the entire spring regular season to solve the problem of team leadership.

Lin Ran has a certain understanding of these things because he works temporarily in the club.

Therefore, he believes that it will be difficult for YM to defeat RNG today.

With a crisp sound of clang, the BP session of the first game has begun.

"YM was on the blue side in the first game. Redmi was very focused on the jungle..." Lin Ran tried to analyze the opponent's tactical thinking from the ban point. "RNG blocked several of Liu Qingsong's roaming heroes. , I guess I don’t want him to support us everywhere unscrupulously.”

RNG knew that its own support was not easy to roam, so it did not give Liu Qingsong a chance to escape from the lane and tied him to the bottom lane as much as possible.

The first round of BP for both sides went very quickly, and it didn't take long for the lineup to be locked and loaded into the game.

There are more and more viewers squatting in Lin Ran's live broadcast room, and the chat channel is even more lively than the official live broadcast room.

Before the game, you can also watch Lin Ran's eating and broadcasting session. Watching a live broadcast will bring you two joys. It is really a good deal.

"Do you still eat lobster?" Su Cheng saw her boyfriend wiped all the shrimp meat off his plate and wanted to give Lin Ran his share.

"No, just eat." Lin Ran stretched out his palm towards the fish sticks, "I'm almost full after finishing these."

"Then try the mayonnaise, it tastes delicious." Su Cheng handed over the small bowl of sauce in front of him.

During the brief exchange between the two, Summoner's Rift had arrived.

"The blind monks of Xiaolongbao are brushing from top to bottom. Before the second round of wild monsters are spawned, the middle and lower parts should be used as the core to protect..." Lin Ran glanced at the two sides' wild opening ideas, "Casa's wine operation Tong also opens the jungle from the upper half, so it looks like the two junglers will meet in the bottom lane."

As he said, three minutes into the game, the first head-on conflict occurred when the two sides came off the field.

Xiaolongbao acted first, and with the help of multiple flashes from his teammates, he successfully killed Uzi.

But Kasa was experienced and knew that he could not save Uzi, so he hid in the shadow vision and let Uzi act as a bait. He waited until the YM summoner skills were almost mastered before taking action.

The meat, eggs, onions and chickens appeared together, successfully leaving Xiao Longbao and Liu Qingsong behind, leaving only Da Mei to escape.

"It shouldn't be," Jin Gong sighed, "Why do we have to do it first?"

Since RNG banned a large number of rhythmic auxiliary heroes in the BP process, most of the remaining characters were characters with unstable control chains. This forced YM to use a large number of summoner skills when killing Uzi, so that There is no way to escape.

"I think anti-crouching would be better here," Su Cheng frowned, "If we play 3v3 in the jungle, YM's chances of winning are very low."

"That's right," Lin Ran also agreed with his girlfriend. "The early thinking should be to grab the midfielder and liberate Zhuo Ding first. This way, when double-teaming the bottom lane, we will have a numerical advantage."

"You just go down and grab me. If you get squatted down, you're waiting to die!"

Under the camera, Xiao Longbao was stroking his broken hair from his forehead, looking slightly flustered.

The bad start put a certain amount of psychological pressure on him, a jungler who could barely be considered a newcomer.

"How do you play this blind monk?" Xiaoyao's voice was as weak as ever. "I killed three groups of wild monsters, plus an assist, and the gold coins after death are not enough to buy a red jungle knife."

As a last resort, Xiaolongbao could only buy a long sword and real eyes, and leave the spring to slay his own wild monsters.

But Kasa took advantage of the time he was resurrected to eat YM's stone beetle.

This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Xiaolongbao's movements were also clearly seen by the eye placed in the jungle. In the next period of time, he could not find any opportunity to take the initiative to gank.

Zhuo Ding did not get rid of his account in the middle lane, and was firmly dragged on the line.

Khan worked diligently to suppress Letme online.

However, Yan Junze is also very experienced in dealing with this kind of top laner. He just stays under the tower and eats, and does not leave the protection of the defensive tower rashly.

Khan had nothing to do with him.

The defense tower on the road has an extra protection mechanism before 5 minutes. Khan cannot push it at all, and it is unrealistic to eat the plating. He can only steal a few points while the opponent consumes Letme's health.

The situation is not optimistic.

"Xiao Longbao can go to the middle." Lin Ran had a strong sense of empathy and gave them advice from the perspective of YM. "You have nothing to do after clearing the jungle anyway. Help Zhuo Ding get rid of the lane first, and the mid laner can't do it." Is there a time lag when you can travel?"

But Xiaolongbao didn't react.

Six or seven seconds after Lin Ran said these words, he realized this and ran to the middle to help clear the troops.

But the opportunity is fleeting, and the next short-term wave has arrived. Without the obstruction of the thick-skinned artillery car, if Zhuo Ding wanders, he will lose a lot of soldiers. As a last resort, he can only continue to rely on the lane to develop.

"Ouch, that's a little off..." Xiaoyao clicked his tongue.

"If we keep fighting like this, Uzi will develop and take off sooner or later." Su Cheng was very worried.

YM is now in a stagnant state. If Uzi cannot be restrained, the entire team will be shot.

The four players are sometimes so anxious that they want to replace the players on the field.

It's a pity that it can't be replaced.

15 minutes into the game, the two sides' economies were almost even.

But everyone with a discerning eye knows that the early lineup used by YM is already at a small disadvantage compared to RNG.

If you continue to delay, the situation will get worse and worse.

Lin Ran's live broadcast room was filled with barrages.

[What is Xiaolongbao doing? 】

[It took only 3 minutes for the wave to have a wave of rhythm, but there was not even a single assist after that. It was really laughable]

[Why do I feel like he always takes a slow beat]

[YM doesn’t have any other junglers? Bring it up and give it a try]

The first game finally turned into a personal show for Uzi.

Xia scored 10 kills, 3 deaths and 9 assists, with a damage ratio of 36.94%, and won the MVP.

"It just feels like..." Lin Ran has finished the food on the plate and is sipping his drink, "Xiao Longbao is still a bit younger."

"It's like this," Xiaoyao agreed, "The game is not very rigorous, and the rhythm is relatively loose. It seems that he has not adapted to the LPL game."

He has played in the secondary league before and knows this well.

LSPL is very demanding on individual ability. If an anchor with one or two unique heroes goes to the secondary league, he can excel when he gets a suitable role.

It can be said that as long as your personal strength is very strong, just kill randomly like playing in ranked matches, and you can win by hard operation.

But LPL is different. It really depends on linkage and rhythm.

If the average personal strength of players in the second-tier league is 60, then the average in the top league is 80 points.

It is difficult for players to kill randomly based on their individual strength. No matter what, they must rely on teamwork.

Xiaolongbao now has a typical second-tier league mentality. It does not control the details well, and small differences eventually come together, leading to the loss of the game.

He also knows that it is difficult to win in YM based on pure personal ability, but he can't change it even if he wants to, so he can only continue like this.

Lin Ran couldn't say anything more. After all, he was still a player of his old club. If he criticized him a few more times, he might be moved to a video website by a marketing account, causing unnecessary trouble to YM and himself.

Jin Gong also understood very well. He moved the battlefield and asked in the small group established by the YM players themselves, "Do we still have a jungler in LDL?" 】

Xiaoyao responded immediately, [Yes, I remember his ID is Wei, but I’m not very familiar with him]

Xiba people were very puzzled, [It’s okay to move them up and give them a rotation, it’s better than doing nothing]

Lin Ran took off his gloves and saw that his teammates were chatting enthusiastically, so he interrupted.

[Wei can’t do it, he’s not 17 years old and can’t play in the LPL. 】

This can be regarded as imposing a silence BUFF on Jin Gong.

In the second game, YM collapsed even more completely.

This seems to have become a law.

After losing the first set, Khan's mentality will become very impatient, and he wants to use his own strength to regain the situation.

The result was that the more they fought, the more chaotic they became, and they were frequently caught in the top lane, becoming the target of RNG.

In less than half an hour, YM was quickly defeated.

This made the YM foursome who were doing the live broadcast very frustrated, as if they had been poured cold water on them.

"Retreat, retreat, what are you fighting for..." Jack's tone was very dissatisfied.

Lin Ran smiled helplessly, hung up and got up to wash the dishes.

He and Su Cheng rented a pretty good apartment in Singapore for SGD 2,000 per month, with a swimming pool and good security.

It is equivalent to about 10,000 yuan in RMB, which is similar to the price of Tongji Beiyuan.

The scenery outside the window is quite good. You can see the strange-shaped Sands Hotel not far away as well as the blue water and beach.

A pair of arms suddenly wrapped around his waist, feeling warm to the touch.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ran drained the water from the plate and asked without looking back.

Su Cheng rested her head on her boyfriend's back, "In the next six months, we will have to get along day and night."

In a foreign country, they were left alone to depend on each other.

"It's okay here. The time zone is the same as at home. If you miss home, you'll have to fly back. It won't be easy until you go to the United States. It takes twenty or thirty hours to go home."

Lin Ran turned around and hugged her.

"...Same." Su Cheng sniffed the refreshing scent of her boyfriend.

My time in Singapore was very pleasant.

Su Cheng's academic pressure was not that great. The two used their free time on weekends to travel around the country, including Tu'ao and Malaysia.

Life highlights a leisurely and comfortable life.

Corresponding to this is YM's hip-stretching performance.

Throughout the spring season, they spent the painful run-in.

In the end, they entered the playoffs with a record of 14 wins and 5 losses.

Relying on the strong performance of Lin Weixiang and Zhuo Ding, they finally made it to the finals, but were defeated by IG.

This is the first LPL championship that YM has lost since entering the top league.

The dog boys were elated, while YM fans were also wailing.

They went to the Weibo posts of Lin Ran and other veteran players and urged the four of them to come back as soon as possible.

Lin Ran never expected that he would be able to increase his popularity by not playing games.

The Vietnam mid-season has quietly arrived.

Prior to this, the famous e-sports host Ren Dong was exposed to drunk driving, ruining his LPL career.

IG was so impressive that they defeated G2, TL and SKT in the group stage.

10 wins and 0 losses, entering the semifinals with an absolute advantage.

The extremely bloody game is highly entertaining, making foreign netizens addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves.

Facing TL in the semi-finals, Baolan was in poor condition and was defeated by Corejj.

Liquid obviously has in-depth research on IG, and the team played very hard.

Fortunately, the top, midfield and midfield composed of Jiang Chenglu, Gao Zhenning and Song Yijin performed well, and they worked together to make up for the gap in the bottom lane.

After five fierce battles, they finally advanced to the finals.

The other game is SKT facing G2.

Before the game, Korean viewers had high hopes for the new SKT, believing that they could revive the glory of the LCK.

In all statistics of the Spring Split, SKT has achieved dominance, far ahead of other teams.

Nuguri and Canyon also performed very well in the jungle. Many BBQ fans were very reassured by them, thinking that defeating G2 was as easy as picking something out of a bag.

The results surprised all Korean viewers.

G2 actually eliminated SKT with a score of 3:1!
