What Is A Roaming Mid Laner?

It's already two o'clock in the afternoon when I arrive in Wuhan, and I can feel the warm and hot air waves assaults the senses as soon as I leave the airport.

The climate difference between here and Shanghai is quite obvious. Although the temperature remains above 25℃ in the afternoon until mid-September, there is a lingering heat in the air.

Lin Ran was holding the suitcase while waiting for other people. There were a lot of youngsters around, and some even raised their mobile phones to take pictures of him.

He is very distressed.

Since becoming famous, he has not been able to distinguish the reasons why Solo Queue secretly photographed himself.

Is it because you recognized your identity, or is it simply that you look too handsome?

Lin Ran was struggling between the two answers. Three Squads, the sparring team and the fist staff gathered together.

It's hard not to be recognized this time.

Dozens of people gathered together and some people were wearing team uniforms. The Shy pulled classic slippers with one-handed pockets and looked high Grim and dazzling. The black-framed glasses made others recognize them at a glance.

The spectators following the Alliance event swiped out their phones and prepared to take photos, and Little Qing came up for a photo with autographs in the coming year.

The whole team was dragged.

"I said it would be better for everyone to go separately, but you have to get together..." Guo Hao sighed.

Su Xiaoluo on the side helped the black-framed glasses of the same style, “It’s really not so eye-catching.”

WE’s leading big brother Xiaozhu also agreed to nodded, Poppy face Lu San's color.

He originally thought that traveling with the three Squads would look more imposing manner and save a little trouble, but he ignored the popularity of these star players.

More importantly, there is no harm without comparison.

Originally, the three Squads that went to S7 were the players who were overwhelmingly popular. This year, IG also attracted a lot of fans with its bloody level and confrontation style. The other 10 players on the sparring group They are also leaders in their respective positions, and even King of Jungle eimy has many fans.

As a backdrop, the three Squad management and Poppy's side seemed empty and empty.

However, Guo Hao, Xiaoju, and Poppy felt a little embarrassed, while Su Xiaoluo was sighed in relief.

The management of E-sports Club has a bad impression of fans in mind, and if something happens, they will fast forward to their backs, but the reputation of the management is at this level of Su Xiaoluo's League. Of Legends E-sports there are not many people in the history.

At that time, IG missed another ADC Uzi of LPL because of not reimbursing air tickets. In this regard, RNG is much better. After all, they returned 50. Buy a cup of milk tea to drink.

Furthermore, it is the retirement of the ancient IG member, Backpot Man 0 generation, which can be seen from the shadow. Su Xiaoluo's promise of "holding the retirement ceremony as LPLPlayer" was not realized in the end. It can be seen that the shadow is finally true. Like a shadow, he left the Professional arena quietly.

Other matters, such as Weibo’s office work, also made many people have a very bad impression of this manager. Su Xiaoluo himself is not the village network, so he naturally knows how the outside world evaluates him, so he compares it with the other two. A manager is different, he is eager for fans to treat himself as an invisible person.

It took nearly half an hour for a group of celebrity players to barely get out. They boarded three buses with LPL and Fist logos and went straight from Tianhe Airport to their accommodation-Peninsula United Investment Hotel.

The two places are nearly 50 kilometers apart, and it takes about an hour for the bus to travel. Lin Ran took out the eye mask from the Disney blue schoolbag, and adjusted the seat position after blindfolding to make him more comfortable lying down. .

The week-long shooting mission made him feel a little overwhelmed. Lin Ran will be nervously preparing for the world game during the next half a month. He will not miss any chance to rest now.

The bus was silent and Lin Ran soon fell asleep.

When he woke up again and took off his blindfold, besides the bright afternoon sun in Wuhan, there was also an unusually magnificent long circular building.

The trees are lush and green. Players can feel the radiant greenery through the windows. The ring hotel is backed by the shoreline of Haromong Lake, facing the Yangtze River, and the surrounding area is so empty that there are no tall buildings. Block.

Looking over, the lake view and the river bank are taking in the entire scene.

Many Players exclaimed repeatedly when they sat on the bus, they didn't expect that the hotel they settled in would be so luxurious.

"You guys are making money?" Lin Ran looked towards Vincent.

“It’s the first time it’s held in China. Both the top and the bottom attach great importance to it. The upper level helped us connect with the local area. They included rooms on the 5th floor of this 5-Star level state-owned enterprise hotel and gave back a lot. Concessions," Vincent said with symbolic humility, "Of course, we still have enough influence to start the E-sports brand."

"After two days, there will be big actions, this year's actions. It's not just a simple hotel." Vincent mysterious and secretive said, saying the "big action" looks like CSGOPlayer.

Everyone got off the bus and entered the gold and jade in glorious splendor with their suitcases in the luxuriously decorated hotel lobby.

"In order to facilitate the training camp, our three teams and the sparring team are all on the first floor. It is best for everyone to allocate rooms in the Club." Vincent hurried back from the front desk, and the two next to him A staff member returned the Player ID card and handed out the room card at the same time.

The entire group swipes the room card and presses the elevator to the 7th floor. This is the advantage of being the host. Vincent directly cut this lucky number.

"Our colleagues had arranged the computer in the training room two days ago..." Vincent led them forward, "You can use it directly after you connect the peripherals."

Although everyone is the representative team of the LPL division, the global finals are played in the Club after all, so the training rooms of the three teams are not put together like the previous intercontinental games.

Lin Ran and Little Tian were in the same room as usual. The two put their suitcases in the hotel bedroom, and left immediately before packing up, rushing to the training room on the floor.

It is said that it is a training room, but it is actually transformed from a suite. Two rows of computers occupy both sides of the living room, and the Summoners Rift whiteboard is placed in the middle area.

Lin Ran stepped forward to check the computer. The host and display accessories are all equipped in accordance with the fist competition standards. There is no difference from the previous ones. The Player can use the peripherals when connected.

A group of YM people fixed their positions and sat down and started fighting against the other two Brother Squads.

Although there are many people in the training team, the individual strength and the degree of running-in are divided into three or six or nine. The most suitable object for team practice is IGSquad. All their members came to Wuhan in their original form. The intensity of the training competition can be imagined. And know.

The coaches of the three clubs are all vying for opportunities to practice with IG. They are eager to engage in a golden house to keep one's mistress. Finally, Poppy has to come forward and draw down the rules.

"Each team can play up to three training games with IG every day. In the rest of the time, you have to find other members of the sparring team to practice laning and so on..."

But RNG coach Firefox and WE coach Redmi are very dissatisfied with this, 3 games are too few for them.

Guo Hao relied on his first hand and thin mud to reconcile the conflict between the coaches of the two teams and took the opportunity to pull away IG coach Han Yi. With his three-inch tongue, he succeeded in getting his old partner to agree to play YM first. Training game.

Because S7 is held in China, Riot China as it should be by rights regards the Canyon Peak area as the only designated training server for Pro Players.

LPLPlayer's original account on the top of the valley is also unavailable. Instead, it will log in to the official super account with adjusted hidden points.

Lin Ran grabbed his mobile phone mailbox, looked through the email sent by the fist staff, and successfully found the Account password in it.

Because fists need to refresh the coupons and Gold Coins, a super account has to log in twice. Lin Ran took a look at the account whose ID was a string of garbled codes, and decisively exited once more, and his brain was fast. Running, thinking about what is better for the new ID.

"How about my ID?" The Garlic King looked at the screen with complacency.

Lin Ran looks sideways—a wonderful frog seed that can vine whip.

"Are you addicted to viewing Pokémon?" Jackey also wanted to use his YukiJudai in Korean as an ID, but he found that the ID had been registered for use. He could only give up in angrily.

"Hurry up, we are still not teammate?" Xiaosuo insisted that the other six people have similar IDs.

Lin Ran and the others can't help him. Anyway, it's just an ID, which simply follows Xiao Yan's temper.

Jackey's eyesight quickly snatched Jenny Turtle away first, and Lin Ran could only fix another Pokémon.

Finally, GimGoon was successfully changed to the same series ID with the help of Xiaoyu. YM seven people have a lot of neat and tidy.

GimGoon: the ghost of the shadow ball

Little Tian: the seed of the frog whip

Lin Ran: the frog of the water cannon

Jackey: Jackey tortoise that can wag its tail

Lin Weixiang: The carp king who can splash and jump

Liu Qiusong: The cracked empty seat that can cut the air

p>

Prophet: the fast dragon that will reverse scale

Log in to Account again, refresh the ID and Gold Coin to get coupons, a few people are familiar with the road to buy Skin and rune, opened a custom room and just launched The IG everyone pulled in.

Lin Ran pa pa pa typing on the keyboard, [You guys, do it harder, how can you come. 】

Except for TheShy, who can’t read Chinese, all four people on IG issued question marks.

[Especially Top Laner, please let TheShy be serious. ] Lin Ran continued typing to communicate with them.

YM wants to engage in targeted training today.

White Crescent and Su Cheng and doom have been communicating in the past two days, and they vaguely see this version of the standard routine.

Although Bottom Lane's position was quickly elevated after the rise of the incense burner soft auxiliary, it does not mean that the Bottom Lane duo will dominate the battle from beginning to end.

Support did not buy eyes in the early stage, ADC went out of the Holy Relic Shield...all the measures are to make Ruansuke make [blazing incense burner] in advance.

In this case, the soft assistants are not allowed to roam freely during the laning period. They must wait for the [Ancient Coins] and [Sacred Shield] to be effective with the help of the creep line. Gold Coin provided by the salary package.

So in the incense burner version, the entire game was actually completely controlled by Top & Jungler before Support made the [Hot incense burner].

Because of the low efficiency of soft assistants and Jungler gank, the Jungler Early-Stage in the Professional arena and the two single lines in the upper and middle will have more linkages. The Bottom Lane duo is for them. Mainly based on protection.

After giving priority to the release of the Mid Laner line, they can use their leading level and economy to team up with Jungle to double-team the opponent's Bottom Lane.

To put it simply, there used to be Thresh, Nautilus, Leona... No, it should be called Leona Leona. After this type of hard auxiliary was defeated by the soft auxiliary, Jungler's route became relatively monotonous.

Originally, Jungle could cooperate with Bottom Lane's hard assist with control to kill, first liberate Support and then use Jungle & Support to move around to deal with the other two single lines, or invade Jungle to restrict Jungle.

But now this road is blocked for more than half of it, Jungler can now start from Bottom Lane first, but the risks and benefits of this approach are no longer proportional.

In addition to the decrease in the number of Bottom Lane Support control skills, which will cause trouble for Jungler's capture, the current Bottom Lane duo's summoner skill combination with Heal + barrier is also quite good in terms of life-saving.

Another key point is the change of Jungler's strong hero. Lee Sin's carnivorous nature gradually disappears, while Sejuani's herbivorous roles are emerging. Herbivorous heroes are less antagonistic and hurt more in the early stage. Low, they are more difficult to get kills with the Bottom Lane combination of double wages.

In the early stage, the route around Bottom Lane was mostly blocked, and the Jungles could only launch an offensive around the upper and middle lanes.

In this case, the requirements for the linkage between the middle and upper two roads and Jungler have become higher, which poses new challenges for YM.

The coordination between Mid Laner Lin Ran and Xiao Si is no problem. Last year, they proved that they are facing the world Peak Mid & Jungler combination such as SKTBengi +faker.

The hidden danger lies in the linkage of Top & Jungler.

In Xiaoyan’s Jungler’s route plan, the affinity between him and Top Laner GimGoon is the lowest. As mentioned earlier, the affinity means that the heroes of the two positions on the same team are closer. The proportion of time in the overall game time.

In layman's terms, the low affinity of Top & Jungler means that Jungler rarely stays near Top Laner.

Originally, this low data does not affect anything. YM stocks Top Lane. With the Gold Coin issued by Other Lanes push Turrets and their own supplementary development ability, the economy is still higher than the normal Top Laner. .

But with the current incense burner version, Little Tian and GimGoon must adapt to each other's existence.

In the view of the YM coaching staff, Lin Ran and Little Tian’s Mid & Jungler teamed up in the early stage, and their journey to the world game will definitely not go smoothly.

Because a single Mid & Jungler linkage can easily be targeted, whether it is from BP or from the details of the game.

Last year, YM relied on Mid & Jungler linkage + four packs of two to win the championship by playing five games with ROX and SKT, two world Peak teams. If only Mid & Jungler linkage was played in the early part of this year, the probability of winning would be absolutely not high.

Rich tactical reserves are the qualities that Peak strong teams must possess, and the compliance version is a necessary requirement.

The Squad that can enter the global finals has two brushes. As long as they dare to fight against the version, the world-class team can also become a Laby fish team in a blink of an eye—the optimistic team of S5 and the S6 team. EDG has fully proved this point.

White Crescent's biggest advantage over RNG coach Firefox is that his head is not so irony, which is also his foothold in YM.

Top & Jungler linkage must be practiced. It is definitely a good choice to use IG as a whetstone. IG currently focuses on Top & Jungler. To be honest, they are very suitable for the early rhythm of this year's world game.

In addition to Mid & Jungler, Support Baolan also has a unique understanding of this aspect, and it just meets the requirements of this version of Support—just don’t die.

If you change to Addison, the son of a dog might really be able to take off from Wuhu.

The problem lies with ADC, which has always been a weak point of IG.

West's performance in the regular season is quite satisfactory, and even has the meaning of competing with E-sports Yuan Shao for the first ADC in IG team history, but when it comes to the playoffs and bubbling games, IG is the god of ordering. The remaining tournament must be triggered by the soft foot BUFF.

West’s performance in key rounds is not as catastrophic as Old Senior’s face is explored in the bushes, but it’s hard to call it quite satisfactory. The famous scene of Kog'Maw Flash being killed by five blows has been so far. It was still sung in the forum, and was also dubbed the title of Western Emperor.

However, how the West Emperor is playing now has nothing to do with YM. Lin Ran and other players practice the early Top & Jungler linkage, which is included among the weaker combinations they face. , Including how to build an advantage after getting a strong combination.

This practice lasted until 7 o'clock in the evening, and Redmi and Firefox almost smashed the door and grabbed people.

Guo Hao decisively gave the IG everyone to the other two to enjoy. Redmi and Firefox were arguing about who IG would serve next, and Rookie ran away under the leadership of Vincent.

Redmi murmured twice in Korean, WE interpreter Junri took a mouthful of Northeast Dialect and asked the fist staff on the side, "What's the situation?"

"The draw, rookie is tonight Lottery guests." The female staff member with long hair replied.

Firefox is clearly nodded. These days, he is busy dealing with preparations, and he has no impression of the lottery guests.

"WTF..." Redmi, who learned the news, was so angry that he lost two or three hours of ownership of Rookie.

He looked at the YM training room and saw Guo Hao's face full of spring breeze communicating with White Crescent, he knew that these two old coins were absolutely aware of the Rookie draw.

Guo Hao was cursed and sneezed. He rubbed his nose and prepared to take some medicine to prevent it at night. At this juncture, his cold and fever would not have much effect, but once it was infected to the team members, it would cause a big problem.

He jotted it down secretly, and continued to stare at the players’ screens, Lin Ran and the others were preparing to be lucky with other sparring team members.

Poppy is still very considerate in this regard. Top & Jungler’s middle and lower assistants have two people in each position, plus IG is 3 Players in each position. On the one hand, it can make all three teams The ability to find training opponents will not cause time conflicts; on the other hand, it also allows the sparring style to be diversified, and it is also convenient to adjust the training objects for imaginary enemies.

Lin Ran is facing two Mid Laner, Zhuo Ding and doinb. Although the left hand of the current Gold Rank learns a trick from Lin Ran to roam, the goal is not consistent with Lin Ran.

It was simply because it was too difficult for him to blast his opponents in a single line in the Professional arena, so he built advantages by walking. Most of these advantages are concentrated on himself, allowing him to compete with Mid Laner. The economic gap widened rapidly.

Today's Zhuo Ding has a distinctive style-suppress the line as much as possible in the early stage, and expand the economic advantage for himself in the mid-term roaming, collect people everywhere to make luxury equipment in advance, and the group fight is completed with the dual advantages of operation and equipment Harvest.

Gold Rank's left hand is a typical resource-eating monster. The DPS big brother in the team has no problem after eating the resources. It is not good to assist the teammate, and it is easy to get lost in the style of play.

The other mid Laner doinb of the sparring team is about to succeed in this transformation. He was originally a middle finger Mid Laner who eats resources and plays burst DPS, but Spring Split followed Lin Ran. After wandering, he began to try a richer and varied Mid Laner style of play.

Now he can be both the core and the support type Mid Laner. Lulu and Karma are also unique in the current LPL. The poor performance of JD.com is mainly due to the fact that teammate is too hip.

The training plan that Lin Ran arranged for himself is very simple. He is in good condition even if he is in good condition by pressing Zhuo Ding against the line, walking and group fight against doinb.

It was eight o'clock in the evening, and all Squad members quit the game and stopped training.

Guo Hao distributed takeaways, and White Crescent borrowed equipment to project the screen of the official live broadcast room of Fist onto the screen of the training room.

"The draw for the 2017 Global Finals and the group stage will begin soon." Ren Dong, the immortal grip standing in the studio, faces the camera. His voice is as passionate as ever, sitting next to him. There are fist designer Chunli and commentary remember.

"Dear summoners, are you ready?"

"There are two guests for the ceremony!"

The league began to compete with the old friend, Ning Wang's favorite AmazingJ and Rookie, combed their hair into the appearance of adults, and appeared in front of all the audience.

"This is called the ogre demon Ap Carry," the Garlicman still remembered Jackey's silly joke that day, "it depends on his body shape."

No one would pay attention to him. cold joke.

The first is the draw for the finalists, from South Korea’s LCK (SSG), Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan LMS (HKA), North America NA.LCS (C9) and Europe EU.LCS (FNC). The No. seed is divided into four groups in turn.

"The finalists are not interesting..." Jackey laid the E-sports chair flat and lay down directly as a bed, with his feet on the armrests of the chair, his posture was extremely arrogant. Can a team still lose?"

"That’s hard to say. I think the teams in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are too stratified. Their No. 3 seed is easy to overturn. Last year, ANX was able to make it into the top 8. ......" Lin Ran said so, his eyes still staying on the phone screen and chatting with Su Cheng.

"Hey, isn't that tabe?" Jackey rubbed his chin and looked towards the screen. Lin Ran heard the familiar name and glanced up.

It's really tabe.

This old Support, who relied on Support Annie to shine and won S3runner up with the Imperial Family, went to the commentary stage several times, and went to IG to be a firefighter for half a year after experiencing the S5 leak. Yuhuang was beaten by all the powers of the LPL.

He finally realized that his professional career as a Player should be over. Lin Ran heard that after tabe left IG, he went to a foreign competition area to find a teaching position. Didn't expect to become a HKA in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Head Coach.

After the No. 3 seeds in the four divisions were drawn, the 8 champion teams in the wild card regions of Turkey, Oceania, and Japan were divided into 4 groups evenly and arranged below the 4 tournament teams.

If nothing else, this group of fried fish veteran players, who won the wild card game with a crushing record, will be ravaged by this group of third seeds from the bubbling game after 10 days. .

The wild card and the five-tournament zone are like worlds apart. There is a huge gap in strength. In most cases, they are not even qualified to block them.

"The draw for the finalists has come to an end. Next, let AmazingJ continue and draw out the four No. 1 seed pool Squad in the group stage!"

AmazingJ looks a little nervous, he rubs In front of his hand, he walked to the glass basin containing 4 opaque black spheres.

He will decide the grouping of LPL1 seed YM, LCK1 seed LZ, EU.LCS1 seed G2, and LMS1 seed Lightning Wolves. North America in the five tournament districts will be affected due to poor performance in the midseason. Excluding the qualifications for the first seed pool, their summer champion TSM can only wait for his own destiny in the second seed pool.

Fatty hands stirred in it for a while, and AJ drew the first ball.

The moment he opened it, he couldn't help laughing.

YM!

The black red giant dragon appeared on the big screen behind AJ. After circling twice, the Black Dragon turned into a YM icon, embedded in the position directly below Group A.

Immediately afterwards, the official live broadcast room played the highlight moments of YM in the year.

In the mid-season, Lin Ran Azir’s sand burial destroyed G2, the summer semifinals Tristana’s face-riding solo Lucian, and the final three sets of Galio were all included, as well as GimGoon Fiora’s stealing home and Liu Qiusong Thresh’s Anticipating the hook, Jackey's Pentakill performance, and Xiao Si's ferocious Elise...

and the scenes of them winning the championship again and again.

A deep-voiced narration sounded in the lounge.

"After defeating SKT to win the 2016 global finals summoner trophy, YM triumphant progress all the way, continue to maintain their strong posture, won the LPL spring and summer double crowns while also reaping the midseason championship and Asian champions, there is no doubt that YM will be the hottest winner of this global finals!"

After that, AJ drew all the remaining three balls, LZ is in group B, and G2 is in group C. , The remaining Lightning Wolves are in Group D.

AJ has finished the No. 1 seed pool even if it has completed the task, and the next lottery will be handed over to another guest Rookie.

"Look at the next two teams that will be assigned to Group A..." At this time, Guo Hao inevitably became a little nervous.

Rookie, whose cheeks are full of collagen, comes on stage, with a shy and honest smile on his face. His next task is crucial-draw 8 teams from the second seed pool, Decide the fate of all Squad in the group stage of this world game.

This includes LPL second and third seeds RNG and WE, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan second seed AHQ, European second seed MSF, South Korea second seed SKT, North American first and second seed TSM and IMT, and Vietnam's No. 1 seed GAM.

Drawing a good lottery may change your destiny. Once you draw a bad lottery, you can wait to sing cool.

Rookie first took out a black ball and opened it to the camera. The moment he saw the Squad icon, he smiled.

TSM.

"The Eldest Senior Brother in North America is here!" Ren Dong loudly said in the studio, "The North American Summer Championship champion TSM will be in the same group as our LPL No. 1 seed YM!"

Guo Hao let out a sigh of relief. In his opinion, this opponent is not strong, and YM can take the opponent lightly.

……

The three Squads of imt, ahq, and msf are allocated in turn, and after going round and round, Rookie will draw the last opponent for YM.

"This is not good news," the person sitting in the studio remembered frowning and said, "Neither WE nor RNG were drawn out. According to the principle of avoiding the same team in the same region, they will not live with YM. In Group A..."

"The only two opponents left to YM are GAM in Vietnam and SKT in South Korea." The fist designer Chun Li Nodded, who was invited to come, pointed out the facts.

"Look at which Squad Rookie will draw!"

In Ren Dong's cry, Rookie took out a black ball to open it!

This time his smile is more sunny than before.

In the YM training room have a big laughter, cheers echoed in the airtight room again!

Guo Hao's mouth is about to smile crookedly, a group of Players and managers have high-five to congratulate.

"GAM!" Remember to slam a fist, "YM really got a good lottery!"

The barrage is stacked on top of each other, covering the live broadcast room!

【Wu~ handsome Rookie! ]

[I have a question, why is it a good sign? ]

[Eldest Senior Brother has his face cracked this time, right? The probability of qualifying is quite high! ]

[That's over, the weak teams are all here at YM, what about the other two LPL teams? 】

After that, Rookie drew out RNG and WE one after another. Everyone knew that the last black ball was SKT. After the routine was taken apart, the grouping pattern was clear and clear.

Group A: YM, TSM, GAM

Group B: LZ, IMT, RNG

Group C: G2, AHQ, WE

Group D: FW, MSF, SKT

"The remaining quota for each group will be determined after the end of the qualifying stage," Ren Dong explained to the audience, "But for now, YM will qualify. The probability is very high. In addition to their hard power, the opponents in the group are not high."

"The same is true for WE. G2 and AHQ are not very powerful Squad, WE If you work harder, the young man will hope that the team will qualify first!" Ren Dong, I remember and Chunli are still analyzing the qualifying form.

"RNG is more difficult. Dragon Ball Squad defeated SKT this summer to win the championship. You must know that it was the first time faker witnessed opponents win the championship trophy in the final stage of the domestic league. There is no doubt about the strength!"

As soon as the grouping results came out, several companies were happy and worried.

Lin Ran and the teammates have no time to take care of them at this time. The two opponents have already been determined. They must carefully train and prepare for the group stage after half a month.

As a group of heroes compete, the strength of each Squad will be known after half a month!
