What Is A Roaming Mid Laner?

Lin Ran bid farewell to Gorilla in the background, and alone returned to the YM lounge.

The cheerful atmosphere in the lounge was shattered by the lottery result. White Crescent was sorting out the information about Dragon Ball, and the team members browsed tightly frowns and discussed something in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's go." Guo Hao stood up and said loudly, "Everyone has a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we are leaving for Guangzhou!"

Several team members He casually agreed to go out.

Lin Ran took his backpack from Su Cheng and left Wuhan Sports Center behind teammate.

It was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and the stadium under the night was brightly lit, exuding warm and comfortable orange-yellow rays of light.

He looked back at the stadium for the last time, the journey of half a month, which carried the excitement of not knowing how much Player got his wish or the loneliness when he left the stadium sadly.

But with the end of the group stage, everything has become the past, the disappointed left with regret, and the other 8 teams will go to Guangzhou with this sad or sweet memory.

Lin Ran closed the car door, the black car window slowly rose, and the Wuhan Sports Center slowly disappeared from his sight.

Su Cheng was still communicating with White Crescent about the Dragon Ball video. Lin Ran couldn't find anyone to chat with, so he simply took out his phone and continued to watch the forum.

[There is a saying, this year this is really a good sign! ]

[Prediction post, RNG3:0 sweeps the Bunny team, WE3:2 defeats Samsung, SKT wins Baidu Cloud, YM crushes Dragon Ball! ]

[Top 4 3 LPLs? Did you say B in your dream, or did I float away? 】

YM's full victory did not arouse any splashes in the forum. This is in line with everyone's expectations. Naturally, there is no way for them to post with experience.

To tell the truth, their group stage 6win streak is not as good as 5 wins and 1 loss on the forums. Once they lose, the forum is like "Rational discussion is not black, whether JKL has a problem? It’s easy to win if you trade for Uzi."

Now everyone is discussing the results of the draw, looking forward to the top 8 matches and even discussing the finals and the ownership of the championship.

[Not to mention, the first half is definitely RNG in the finals. What kind of stinky fish is Samsung? ]

[Why can't it be WE? There are fewer fans of bullying 60e, right? How did spring semifinals abuse you? I forgot again, right? ]

[I think the result of this draw is really average, YM in the lower half is very difficult, Dragon Ball and SKT are not good at playing, won’t they really fall in the middle? ]

[Bad lottery? Hehe, why is it a good sign? I just hope that YM will beat SKT and Dragon Ball to clear some obstacles for RNG. Of course, it would be better to win. If you lose, RNG wins, and wins the championship, then YM has one third credit for this championship. As for WE, 2 words, follow the fate. I’m an RNG fan, a sane fan]

During the 5km drive to the Peninsula Hotel, Lin Ran glanced at the forum posts.

The audience generally believes that there is no suspense in the upper half, RNG will enter the semifinals steadily, and WE and Samsung are both the No. 3 seeds in their respective regions, and they will fight hard, but in the end they all think that the upper half is LPL The two teams will lock a place in the finals.

On the contrary, it is difficult for YM, which is regarded as the biggest favorite to win the championship, to advance.

The reason is very simple. The teams in the same half of the district are Dragon Ball, SKT and C9.

Dragon Ball needless to say, as the LCK Summer Championships, their strength lies here. Although they are second in the group, no one will underestimate them.

And SKT, whose results have been turbulent this year, is among the top teams in the world of YM in the mind of many viewers.

Never underestimate the heart of a championship. This sentence applies not only to the basketball field, but also to E-sports.

SKT is undoubtedly a terrifying opponent. Lee Sang-hyeok Professional has entered the world competition three times in his career, and his team lead of 2 championships and 1 second is enough to outsmart the crowd.

No one knows to what extent SKT, known for its offensive and defensive stability, will develop the version during the one-month journey to the global finals.

YM, SKT and LZ, three sharks swim in the lower half, and finally compete for a place to participate in the finals. The cruel competition can be imagined.

Lin Ran thinks so too. Dragon Ball can become their opponent in the quarterfinals, which is indeed a bit outrageous.

Before the start of the global finals, everyone in YM felt that it would take at least semifinals to meet Dragon Ball and SKTthis level teams.

However, the quarter-finals and semifinals played against the South Korean team, and the intensity was too high.

This is also the reason why everyone in YM looked serious after the lottery ceremony. This year's battle is really not easy to fight.

At this time, it was already past the evening rush hour, and I downloaded YM everyone’s treasure carriage without traffic jams and returned to the hotel within a quarter of an hour.

"Tonight, after you take a shower, please pack your luggage while you are not sleeping, especially Jackey and Lin Weixiang... We will catch up with Corki tomorrow afternoon. You two should set the alarm clock in advance. It’s the business."

There are not many night owls in the team. Lin Ran is used to going to bed early and getting up early. Even the work schedule of Little Tian, ​​who is in the same bedroom, has been advanced a lot. Liu Qiusong, YM is left with Lin Weixiang and Jackey, two monsters who work and rest upside down day and night.

The team downstairs at the hotel was temporarily disbanded. Jackey, who was hungry and hungry, took the prophet and GimGoon to the hotel restaurant. Lin Weixiang handed the backpack to Liu Qiusong and planned to jog around the hotel. .

Arrived on the 7th floor, everyone in YM left the elevator to bid farewell to their room. Lin Ran hooked Su Cheng's soft palm to the corner of the corridor and enjoyed their few closeness.

"Are you not going to have a meeting tonight?" Lin Ran asked in a low voice.

"No, only the regular meeting before departure tomorrow afternoon." Su Cheng didn't know why Lin Ran wanted to lower his voice, but he still leaned in his ear and answered softly, "I have nothing to do tonight. ."

The volume was too low, and the air sound mixed with warm breathing hit Lin Ran's auricle.

Although Lin Ran knows that what Su Cheng wants to express is simply that he has a lot of time tonight, he still wants to be involuntarily crooked, and there is a bit of glamour in his thoughts.

Lin Ran leaned over and put a sticker on her cheek, and saw that the white skin touched by his lips was stained with a little red plum. Instead of disappearing, the flame in his heart burned more and more intensely.

The legs of the girl shrank in the corner were a little soft, her fingers were tightly gripping the corners of his uniform, and Hongmei smudged a little on her cheeks.

In a moment, Su Cheng's cheek lit up with flames.

Lin Ran saw this scene of confusion in his heart, and Su Cheng's drooping eyebrows looked cute in his eyes.

He looked at the girl's as thin as cicada wing's eyelashes trembling slightly, knowing that the girl's heart was mostly messed up, and the two of them had a blind date so close that they could hear each other's heartbeat.

Lin Ran desperately suppressed the restless restlessness in his heart.

This is a world game, so I can’t think about other things...Su Cheng is standing here and others can’t take it away, but the summoner trophy won’t wait for him.

Abstinence is necessary at this time. Lin Ran doesn't want to learn Condi to take BlackEye every day. Doing something before the game will definitely affect the competitive state.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath twice, Lin Ran looks towards Su Cheng again with a clear look.

He reached out and rubbed his girlfriend's small and delicate earlobes, kneading Su Cheng's ears to be as rosy as his cheeks before letting go.

Su Cheng's self-control is also quite strong. With his palm resting on Lin Ran's chest, he keeps a certain distance between himself and her boyfriend, and calms down again in his watery eyes.

"What will you eat tomorrow morning?" She glanced at Lin Ran's face and immediately looked away, for fear that she would fall into it again and could not help herself.

"Hot dry noodles?" Lin Ran went on smoothly, turning the topic off, "It makes sense to have another meal before leaving, right?"

Su Cheng The arm supporting Lin Ran's chest vented his strength, and took his boyfriend's palm away from the corner of the corridor.

"You go to bed early tonight. You don't need to go through the video. The tactics against Dragon Ball will be discussed when we go to Guangzhou..." Su Cheng brought the topic back to work, and there was only one between the two. That bit of charming breath completely disappeared.

Lin Ran nodded signaled that he understood that he walked to his room and said goodbye to Su Cheng. He put the room card in his backpack. Lin Ran could only lower his head and fumble, and suddenly felt his neck sink.

Lin Ran's first reaction was that GimGoon was here.

He subconsciously shrank his head before realizing that it was wrong.

The arms that hung on my neck are warm and white as jade. It is clearly Su Cheng.

As soon as Lin Ran turned his head, he ran into Su Cheng's face head on.

The touch is softer and warmer than cheeks.

As soon as he touched the point, he blushed for a moment, "What are you doing?"

"I have to ask you," Su Cheng blushed, "I just want to touch The bone under the back of your neck..."

"Just touch it?" Lin Ran corrected her mistake, "Your lips are..."

"Aiya, you go back quickly Rest!" Su Cheng flushed and flustered and exasperated, grabbed his room card and swiped the door open, then slapped Lin Ran in.

The door was slammed shut. Lin Ran looked at the closed wooden door, and subconsciously reached out to touch the protruding bone under the back of his neck.

He seems to have discovered Su Cheng's quirks.

What's the weird habit of kissing his spine? Is my girlfriend really a normal person?

Lin Ran thought about it, his hobby seemed a bit weird, and his heart calmed down immediately.

It’s not that a family doesn’t enter a family!

"What's the situation?" Xiao Si, who was in the return to house room, asked gloomily, standing next to him.

In his perspective, Lin Ran hasn't moved his feet since he entered the door, and he reached out to the door of the room and touched his spine, and there was a burst of weird laughter in his mouth.

It looks the same as the evil one.

Lin Ran first looked at the dressing mirror at the door of the room. Su Cheng, who doesn't like makeup, didn't wear lipstick today, and there was no weak spot on his face alone.

"...What can happen?" Lin Ran's classic three sentences cut a sentence, "discuss what to eat tomorrow morning."

Little Tian glanced suspiciously at Lin Ran, It takes a quarter of an hour to discuss breakfast? Where do you report the name of the dish?

However, Jungler's Garlic Bastard is also an old yin coin, and he is very thoughtful.

Go out for a quarter of an hour to discuss the matter of eating breakfast for three two minutes, and the remaining 10 minutes are all indescribable.

He chuckled a few times following the old teammate Shi Senming hehe, then took the towel and went straight to the bathroom.

Lin Ran always feels that Xiao Si smiles as if he is eccentric, but he doesn't have any evidence to start.

Draining all other thoughts, Lin Ran picked up the tablet and sat in a chair to watch the Dragon Ball video.

Su Cheng previously said that you don't need to watch the Dragon Ball video and wait until the team arrives in Guangzhou to determine the tactics, but what Lin Ran wants to find is the details-Dragon Ball Mid Laner BDD's laning skills.

Dragon Ball has ruled the entire LCK in the past summer, except for Top Laner Khan, BDD.

He suppressed almost all the match-up Players. He was called one of the strongest Mid Laner in this world tournament. He suppressed the Tigers in all aspects during the group stage.

In order to stabilize the alignment, Lin Ran must study the details of BDD alignment in advance. He obtained a lot of BDD ranking analysis from another analyst of YM, doom.

He intends to use it in conjunction with the game video.

Currently, the game adopts the perspective of God. Although Fist has deliberately provided Player's first-view video, it is limited to intentions, and it will be a long time before the project is launched.

But there is no first perspective, and the director will not always aim the OB lens at Mid-Lane during the game. Lin Ran can't get much BDD alignment details from the game.

Fast-forward played videos of Dragon Ball's 7 group matches. Lin Ran didn't get much valuable information. He reluctantly shook his head and could only flip through the BDD ranking videos.

……

In the early morning of October 16th.

Lin Ran and Su Cheng woke up in the morning and ran around the hotel building for 4 kilometers before taking a taxi to eat a meal of hot dry noodles.

The noodles are strong and refreshing, the color is yellow and oily, the sesame fragrance fills the mouth, the sauced radish and capers are refreshing and delicious, and a bowl of fragrant and delicious eggnog is endless aftertaste.

On the way, he received a message from old acquaintance Casa, saying that there was something important to discuss with him.

When I returned to the hotel, it was almost 10 am, Lin Ran saw Wolf King in the Lightning Wolves uniform in the lobby water bar.

Casa also noticed Lin Ran and Su Cheng who walked in and waved to them.

"What do you want to drink?" He asked while sitting on the deck with the menu.

"Two cups of iced Ning Meng water," Lin Ran and Su Cheng had breakfast shortly after, "just to relieve their boredom."

Casa looked at the couple opposite him After scanning twice, I felt that the hanging man was suggesting to eat Ning Meng.

In the morning, there were not many customers in the hotel's water bar. Soon two glasses of Ning Meng water and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice were delivered.

Lin Ran just wanted to ask Kasa why he asked him out, when he saw BlackEye faintly under his eyes, he felt a little bit in his heart, thinking of his interaction with Su Cheng last night, "No way..."

"What won't?" Last night, after thinking about it, Casa finally lost sleep, sipping a sip of juice and raising his head, with a dazed expression.

Under the table, Su Cheng seemed to inadvertently touch Lin Ran's leg with his knee.

Lin Ran quickly turned off the topic, "Why did you think of asking me out?"

Casa fingered his scroll subconsciously, "Some things are not on the phone. Clear..."

He thought for a while and continued to speak: "I plan to leave LMS next season."

Karsa made a very difficult decision last night, that is to follow James Bring your innate talent to other regions to challenge your limits.

There are 3 teams in the LMLeague of Legends World Championship this year who have played in the global finals. The HKA halved into the finals and became the only team in the five tournament regions that did not advance to the main tournament; AHQ played a shameful 0 -6 All lost, the Flash Wolves have a slightly better record, but the only victory was won over the head of the Turkish wild card team.

As a Pro Player, Casa knows very well that the decline of Doudi bloodline is inevitable.

Are the five members of the Lightning Wolves too bad? Casa does not think it has much to do with him and his teammate's innate talent to go to other regions not to mention Peak, but to be a first-class Goalkeeper is more than enough.

In fact, LMS is similar to North America in this respect. They are both facing the embarrassing situation of the overall decline of the league. There is not much fresh blood in the local area, and the strength of foreign aid to the skills to help the poor is not strong.

We must know that Professional Squad overwhelming majority time is to compete with other opponents in the league. The overall decline in the strength of the competition will inevitably drag down the head Squad-Flash Wolves have always won, and they have lost too few games. There is even no room for improvement.

North America’s decline today is not as exaggerated as the LMLeague of Legends World Championship area, and the reason is very simple-money can’t solve all problems, but it can solve most of the problems. Which Player wants to go to retirement, 7 The annual salary contract with a few digits of dollars was immediately offered.

The LMLeague of Legends World Championship area obviously does not have such courage due to factors such as market shrinkage and economic downturn in recent years.

Casa couldn’t help but want to leave. He always got one for money and honor. Otherwise, after spending so many years in the LMLeague of Legends World Championship area, he couldn’t even afford a house. so awkward?

"It's okay to leave," Lin Ran's eyes lit up. For various reasons, he had already seen the LMLeague of Legends World Championship area uncomfortable for a long time. This name is called'green hat color', which is quite outrageous. , "Are you interested in coming to LPL?"

"There are plans," Casa nodded, "I got the contact permit from the Club last night, and I want to talk to you first."

Hearing this news, Lin Ran put down Ning Meng Poseidon and looked serious.

Access to the license is very important.

In the original fist transfer rules, the expressly prohibited Player conducts private transfers and trade negotiations before the transfer window is opened, and violators will be fined, banned and other penalties.

The transfer period window blooms twice a year, which are mid-to-late November after the end of the world game and mid-to-late May after the end of the Spring Split.

What if Players who are on contract at other times want to contact other Squad?

Then you need to use the contact permission. After the club is approved by the local league, it will be issued to the players who have transfer needs and the contract is about to expire and need to contact the new team.

With the document endorsement, the Player can make private contact with other clubs before the transfer period is open.

In the midseason, Lin Ran could only hint at Casa’s transfer in various ways because Casa did not have access to the license.

Now he can finally just and honorable discuss this topic, "Do you have any intentions? I can be responsible for threading the needle."

"Of course we are talking about intentions, I I’m not responsible for the player’s mobile joining, and I can’t do anything about it.” Lin Ran looked at the time displayed on the phone, “I can only give you some suggestions.”

Casa hesitated for a while before speaking.” Does YM have my position?"

Lin Ran and Su Cheng were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Casa’s goal to join in the new season actually had their own Squad.

Lin Ran is struggling inside.

He knows the strength of Casa very well. The real wild daddy in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan is a plug-and-play powerful Jungle. No matter which Squad goes to, he is considered a reinforcement.

More importantly, the Casa contract expires soon, and Squad can save a lot of transfer fees by signing him!

From all aspects, Casa's price-performance ratio is quite high.

But Lin Ran realized at this time that in order to drink this iced glass of Ning Meng water, he was carrying multiple burdens on his shoulders.

The longest period of a Pro Player Gold Rank is only three to five years, during which there is a high probability of signing two contracts. If he does not handle it carefully, it will be the second half of Casa's Professional career that will be delayed.

It’s not good to say that, except for some top-stream players and a handful of live-streaming geniuses, most Pro Players will depend on their contract salary signed during the Gold Rank period for the rest of their lives.

If Kasa is really delayed, Lin Ran will inevitably feel guilty, Jiang Lai must have gotten fucked.

He didn’t intend to lie to others, and after considering it for a moment, he replied, “I speak frankly, if you come to YM, you will have a rotation with Little Tian, ​​and I can’t guarantee the result of the rotation. After all, I’m partnering with Little Tian. After two years, the cooperation is quite tacit..."

"That means YM can't guarantee your starting position and the number of games."

At this time, it was Casa's turn to fall into silence.

It is not yet the most critical moment of the transfer period. During the wait-and-see period, his goal is very ambitious-he wants money and honor.

YM may be rich and imposing can give him enough money, but the honor column is a lot worse-after all, even if the substitute rotation wins the championship, the real value can't be compared with the starting.

Casa, who was born in 1997, thinks he is not too old. It’s no problem to continue to shine in the position of Jungle for three or four years. When the substitute is rotated, it means a little old age, and naturally it is not his first time. One choice.

At the same time, in the conversation just now, Casa has also detected another news-YM’s starting Jungler Little Tian has no intention to transfer next season. This is a high probability for Mid & Jungler to spend the most brilliant career in Professional. period.

"But I can talk about the general situation of the LPL teams, you can make a reference."

Lin Ran is very kind, and this glass of Ning Meng water is not white. Drink, take the pen and paper while talking and writing.

"There are currently 12 Squads in LPL. Excluding us, there are still 11 Squads. Among them, EDG has Old Ancestor, so you can basically give up..."

Lin Ran Crossed off the EDG on the paper, and continued: "RNG treatment is very good, but I heard that they gave 50 yuan to buy milk tea for the trial, but they have a pot, do you think you can compete?"

Casa hesitated for a moment and shook his head to veto, "The incense pot is too strong this year, RNG will definitely not give up on him to choose me."

"WE is also good at strength and the team atmosphere is also very good..." Lin Ran The conversation turned, "The problem is that Bottom Lane is a double Korean Aid, but it is said that their youth academy has a domestic support called missing, which is pretty good."

Casa's eyes shined, and this team looked to him. The configuration is very good, and the status of the competitor Condi has been declining at the speed of light since the peak of Spring Split, and now the strength is quite average.

Playing fairly with Condi, Casa is confident of putting him on the bench.

"Club is endless, but the biggest problem is that it's a bit stingy." Lin Ran looked at Casa with hope and added another sentence.

This is his evaluation of WE, stingy is really stingy, but poor is not really counted.

The WE created by Pei Le and the others is regarded as the first batch of Professional E-Sports Tournament Clubs in China. It is not an exaggeration to say that the ancient giants are not exaggerated. More importantly, WE has been profitable and mature in recent years. Well-known players such as TheShy, Khan, and Sima old thief have appeared in the youth training system. Every year, you can make a lot of money just by selling youth training players.

Moreover, they have always adhered to a self-sufficient player training model, and they spend very little money.

957 was brought up by his third team WE.F; Condi was originally a member of M3 (WE second team); Xiye made his debut from WE.A.

The remaining two Korean Aid: Big Uncle led his team in the Korean OGN League and scored 0-6 with a KDA of 102718, which is basically at the level of'I didn't retire but nobody wanted it'. His salary is also not high without a domestic account book.

The first support ben was exchanged for TheShy and IG.

This group of people may not even be able to afford Lin Ran's salary alone. How can WE be poor?

The question is how much money can they offer to Casa?

Casa put this option on hold, "Let’s talk about other things first, it’s really impossible to consider WE."

Lin Ran crossed out another name, "IG you Surely there is no way to go. The Korean Aid in the upper mid-doubles has filled up the quota, and Jungler loses the game easily."

"The old godfather claims to be able to win the RNG and EDG, go to the outer competition area to find When foreign aid, they always show those two videos to others, boasting that their hard power is the top nerve knife in the LPL, but you must not believe the nonsense of their manager, you will cry when you fall into the relegation zone... "

"OMG likes to smoke Huazi, it should be suitable for you to go, but I heard that Sima old thief does not plan to renew this year, the team strength has to draw a question mark..."

"IM , Snake, Suning, and JD.com are all downstream of Alliance. Surely you don’t think about it?"

"As you said, where is there a team to choose?" Casa resorted to the famous stunt card. Sa Ding, his eyes locked tightly on Lin Ran.

At this time he noticed that there was a Squad in Lin Ran's list.

TOP, Taobo Sports.

"Ah this...I heard it was a team that was just formed this summer. Is it reliable?" Casa took out his phone to check Squad's information.

"You can rest assured that TOP's parent company was our investor before. It is absolutely reliable." Su Cheng, who hadn't said a word for a long time, answered.

"Yes, and the team members have great potential. The oldest Top Laner zoom is 97 years old just like you. The rest are basically 00, with a very young average age," Lin Ran strongly recommends. "Mid Laner Zhuo Ding, Bottom Lane old dream + ppgod are also very strong, Jungler sad innate talent is good but inexperienced."

"If you go there, getting a starter is not a problem, and it can help Rookie quickly. "Grow up," Lin Ran looked towards Casa, "How?"

Casa was a little moved. None of the Players in the team have made a name for themselves in the international arena, which means that if he joins, his status in the team will be It will be quite high; and there are many geniuses, and the probability of future achievements is great...

Moreover, more money has the ability to make money.

It looks like a perfect choice for him.

However, Casa did not immediately make a decision. This kind of thing has to be considered for two days, and more or less investigations can help.

Finally found a suitable Club, Casa felt relaxed and took a sip of orange juice, "Excessive venting...How are you preparing for the quarterfinals?"

The three of them talked until noon before leaving. Casa will also leave Wuhan this afternoon and return to the island with teammate.

Lin Ran and the others packed their bags and took a flight to Guangzhou with the other two brother Squad and the sparring team.

It was already 6 o'clock in the evening when we landed, and the moment we left Baiyun Airport, everyone felt the heat assaults the senses!

When the entire group stood outside and took a group photo, a lot of sweat was dripping out of the back, and they quickly got on the car and moved towards the hotel and drove away.

Bus stop signs and billboards on both sides of the street can be seen everywhere posters for the S7 Global Finals. Lin Ran has seen his makeup photos more than once.

Everything reminds them that a more intense knock out competition is coming!
