What Is A Roaming Mid Laner?

On April 7, YM played against TOP, the last regular season of the 2018 LPL Spring Split.

From the opening game that started with YM to the final game that ended with YM, Tengjing had enough cards.

The master and disciple confrontation before the game attracted a lot of attention, especially many TOP fans, they very much hope that the patriarch team can win this game.

There is no other reason, one is to prove yourself, and the other is to compete for the regular season ranking.

Now YM is 17 wins and 1 loss, and the only loss in the process is laughable. LGD lost all the way in the first half of the season, but after they were sure that they missed the playoffs, they began to be water ghosts.

YM was playing at the time. Jackey insisted on grabbing the title of No. 1 Syndra in Lin Ran's team, so he chose a non-ADC team composition.

The result is that the two Ap Carry without displacement were marked by Lee Sin of King of Jungle and were dragged into the water by the water ghost at 0:2.

However, this does not affect their luxury record. Now YM has already locked the first place in the division ahead of time, and TOP has no idea of ​​competing with Oldest Big Brother for ranking.

Guodian is in front of TOP.

Ranked 2nd's EDG was 12 wins and 7 losses; TOPRanked 3rd was 11 wins and 7 losses.

The two teams lost the same game. If TOP wins the final game, then they will win the same game as EDG, but TOP has a lot of lead in the small points and can successfully rank second in the Eastern Conference.

In other words, this game is irrelevant to YM, but from the perspective of TOP, the ending War General decides how far they can go in the playoffs.

Before and after the game.

Zuo Ding mumbled and repeated the coach teammate's instructions to him, and swayed his wicker-like body into the YM lounge.

At this time, Redmi had finished the pre-match meeting, the door of the lounge was open, and many official videographers also squeezed in.

"Yeah, isn't this sure?" Jackey looked arrogant. "I haven't seen you in a month. Did you pull it like this?"

The two were about the same size when they first met. , Now Shiba Inu is fatter than Gold Rank's left hand for two full turns, the calf is about the same thickness as Zhuo Ding's thigh, and the physique is very different.

Zhuo Ding smiled shyly twice, and was relieved when he saw that Brother Little Tian hadn't become a steamed bun.

He turned his eyes and found that Lin Ran was sitting in a chair playing with his phone, and quickly went over to graciously pinched his shoulders.

Lin Ran really enjoyed it. He leaned back and continued to chat with his girlfriend.

When Zhuo Ding saw this, he was more motivated, pa pa pa hitting his teacher's shoulder with both hands, he almost took a look at his hand.

Lin Ran is pinched and feels refreshed.

"What's the matter?" He turned off the phone and smiled, looking towards Zhuo Ding behind him.

Gold Rank's left hand is still too innocent, and he can't hide things on his face, and he knows that he can ask for something at a glance.

But what can someone at this age want him to help?

Money?

Zhuo Ding still uses Mi 6 and loves yellow stewed chicken for dinner, and it is not extravagant to eat and wear.

He doesn't like to punish late at night like Mr. Kang...

Lin Ran thinks about it carefully and thinks Zhuo Ding shouldn't be here to borrow money.

Knight's eyes flashed when he heard this.

"Brother Ran, can we face-to-face one more time today?" He said vaguely.

Zhuo Ding said that he was paused here, thinking of the arduous task that the coach and teammate gave him, his tone was solemn, "Don't play fancy, use all your strength to compete."

"Really?" Jackey happily on the side, "K Emperor, you haven't been beaten, have you?"

Little Tian also laughed, "Zhuo Ding, Brother Ran is a good one. Wait a minute, don't be beaten and cry again."

Knight hesitated when he heard this.

S6 ended the Demacia Trophy, he ran into Lin Ran who had just been crowned king in Los Angeles.

I was confounded during the whole game. At that moment, I got used to the rhythm of qualifying and really realized how terrifying the Player at the top of the Professional circle is.

Zuo Ding now sometimes dreams of the Demacia Cup when he has nightmares.

The immature and young self has no advantage in front of Lin Ran. He can't beat the lanes and has low walking efficiency. He often goes shopping on the river and scans the WeChat steps. The group fight is either lost or violently killed...

p>

All thoughts were clearly understood, and it was difficult to hit the line even with skills. In the end, I couldn't get feedback, and my hands kept trembling, and even the farming was frightened.

In that BO5, Zhuo Ding played the lower limit of his Professional career, which was completely Midgap.

Knight feels that after more than a year of training on the field, his strength must have improved, but he must not be able to challenge Lin Ran head-on.

He thought about it, if he gets beaten up again...

I shouldn't be crying.

It shouldn't be.

Knight calmed his mind and remembered what Top Laner's dream star Zoom taught him.

He clenched the teeth with his head held up high, "Although come, I will prove who is the number one Mid Laner in the world on this stage!"

"Okay," Lin Ran heard With this sentence, he stood up and patted Zhuo Ding's shoulder vigorously, "I'll fight you seriously."

In his opinion, Zhuo Ding showed a bit of joy at first, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised again. Immediately he drooped down, his squishy mouth looked glum.

The speed of light changes, Lin Ran feels ridiculous when he looks at it, but he doesn't know that Zhuo Ding secretly learned a trick to change his face in Sichuan Opera when he went to OMG Chengdu to play at home.

"It's too spicy," Knight was still embarrassed, "Then I'll go first, go get ready."

Just out of the YM lounge door, he no longer controls I couldn't help myself, my body was shaking like chaff, covering my mouth for fear of laughing.

"How about?" The chubby Zoom was still waiting outside, and when he saw Zhuo Ding walk out of the room, he hurried forward to welcome him.

"It's done!" Zhuo Ding's words made the Malphite in Zoom's heart fall again.

His face was overjoyed, "Well done, Zhuo Ding! You do a great job with this bowl!"

"It's...I guess it's hard to beat." Knight sighed. Screamed.

Zoom comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a regular season, don't take the victory seriously."

The two hooked up and walked to the TOPSquad lounge along the way. The atmosphere is extremely cheerful.

Everything is in their hands.

The last round of YM in-group round-robin tournament played the snake to the extreme. Team composition with no front row, no ADC or even AP was often selected. Everyone changed positions to play, discarding the results, and creating happiness with heart.

The usual training games continue as usual, but the coaching staff no longer focuses on the regular season-they are already studying their opponents in the playoffs.

Redmi’s this move has made the Players very easy. In the past month, Lin Ran and the other team members have been discussing what team composition to use later every time they ran to the Grand Plaza.

For them, there is no pressure to score. This kind of game is equivalent to a disguised vacation. They play very well, and the audience feels very happy. After all, they can let YM give themselves the whole point every time. New tricks.

Such random play can win the game. It's not that YM can play well, it's that opponents can't play well.

Only EDG and TOP can put pressure on YM in the entire Eastern District. After the departure of Redmi, WE, which performed quite well last year, the strength of the core players also fell off a cliff. Now the record has fallen to the post-season. The edge of the game.

As a result, facing YM's TOP in the final battle, I felt very panicked.

The more you play with snakes, the more afraid I will be!

TOP's training department and some fans who do not understand the complete truth completely contradict the expectations of this game.

Fans hope that Squad can take advantage of YM's work, and win the world's best team to give them a long face.

Last night TOP routinely posted a Weibo who will be the starting list tomorrow. Most of the comments below are to encourage them.

There are even YM fans cheering for them, let TOP win quickly, so that YM bastard group suffers a bit, it is best to have more meetings, let the team members pay attention to it, don’t always worry about Lin Weixiang’s B Dao girl.

The TOP Training Department saw the comments and felt that the fans wanted them to die.

They just want to lose this game now, because the team is also studying their opponents in the playoffs.

If the team wins YM, they will be second in the Eastern Conference.

It seems that the ranking has risen, but in fact the playoff situation will be more difficult!

According to Tengjing’s rules, No. 2 in the Eastern Region will face the winners of Western Region No. 3 (RNG) and Eastern Region No. 4 (WE) in the playoffs.

If nothing else, the opponent of 6-in-4 will be RNG.

How to fight this?

If you lose this game and TOP falls to third in the Eastern Region, you can first play Western Region 4th (BLG) and then Western Region 2nd (RW).

This road is relatively easier to follow. Although RW has gained momentum recently, in the final analysis, they are just like them. They are all freshmen. They don’t have much playoff experience in BO5. You can even rush to the TOP with a try. Spring Split semifinals.

Although it is not the first time to enter the playoffs, Zhuo Ding still thinks that it is a success to reach the top 4 this year.

There is no way, there are too many monsters in LPL this year. YM doesn’t talk about it yet. IG has risen again, RNG has gradually recovered after Uzi’s return, EDG is old and tough, and Rogue RW is new ……

In the fierce fighting in the playoffs, strong enemies stand in great numbers. If TOP, a new army that has been established for less than one year, can get Spring Split semifinals, it is indeed a satisfying one. Achievement.

In order to ensure their third place in the Eastern Conference, they must lose this duel with YM.

But according to the temperament of the last few games of the YM regular season, there is a high probability that he will continue to work in the final game.

If TOP uses the normal team composition, there is a high probability of winning the game; if you don’t use the normal team composition, you can accompany YM to work together. If you lose the game in this way, I’m sorry for those who encourage the team to win under Weibo. Fans of the next game-Although many fans do not realize the grim situation of the playoffs, they have a heart for Club.

TOP From the coach to the Player, Beijing has a bit of arrogance and doesn't want to deliberately release the water to the game. If the water is worse than bad, wouldn’t it be a pirated Oscar night?

In this way, Zoom has figured out a way-as long as YM uses all its strength, can it work? They couldn't win anyway.

TOP finally decided to let Zhuo Ding sacrifice the ego to become the greater ego—send him to provoke Lin Ran and make YM serious.

In this way, TOP can successfully lose the game to maintain the ranking, YM can maintain their dignity as the number one in the regular season, and the audience can also see a hearty battle in the final game.

The only unlucky thing is knight who has to be educated by Lin Ran.

Zoom successfully created a world where only Gold Rank's left hand was injured!

……

"Good evening, summoners, next is the last game of the 2018LPL spring regular season..."

Close today The commentary of the official battle is I remember He Zeyuan, the two of them currently have a lower status in the commentary world than the dolls Mille and Zhangmao, and they are considered the backbone of the circle.

"RNG defeated RW in the last game. Although it won't have any impact on the final ranking, RNG also proved to fans that they are in a hot state now!"

Ze Yuansha Nodded, "it is true, Uzi is now carrying the banner of the team, and the players are getting more and more tacit understanding, they are likely to set off a shocking wave in the playoffs."

After talking about two RNGs who won the last game, they quickly switched the topic to the closing game.

"Compared with the Western Region, where the results are very different, the Eastern Region’s regular season rankings have remained suspense until the last game of the last match day!" Sawamoto said loudly, "This match between YM and TOP will be It will determine the final ranking of the Eastern District!"

Remember nodded, "Besides the ranking competition, another highlight of the game is the matchup between the two Mid Laner. When Knight debuted at YMA, he was known as Brother Ran's successor. People, the two have a very close personal relationship, a bit of a feeling of both teacher and friend,"

"Knight's performance this season is also quite eye-catching. He is the absolute core of TOP with luxurious data..."

p>

The director also released the makeup photos of Lin Ran and Zhuo Ding. The knight on the screen looked cold, with the palm of his left hand facing upwards, faintly clenched into claws, while Lin Ran on the other side performed the same action with his right hand. The posture is mirrored, as if carved out of a mold.

At this time, the audience discovered that the two Mid Laners actually had a linkage in the makeup photo.

[Huh? Last time the two teams met, Mid Laner’s set-up photo was not this one.]

[How many set-up photos were taken officially, right? ]

[Don’t hurry up? Are there pictures of Lin Weixiang and Liu Qiusong? Garlic and Brother Ran’s are okay. Give me Kangkang quickly.]

However, the discussion about the makeup photo only lasted a few seconds. The data below the two Mid Laner photos quickly attracted the audience’s attention. Full attention.

Lin Ran KDA (7.7), 15-minute economic difference (+1557), injury conversion rate (146.7%), DPS percentage (29.1%), participation rate (79.1%) five data names Ranked first, the average DPS ranked second-the first place was robbed by Song Yijin.

[There is no turmoil in my heart, this is not a basic operation for Ran? ]

[Ran is not ranked first in these few data, I find it strange]

[Maybe one day, I mean, maybe, at that time, Ran's data fell At the bottom of the valley, do you still support him? ]

[It’s okay, as long as he retires fast enough, he will never be Laoby]

[There is one thing to say and one thing is for sure, if Clearlove retires after S5MSI is over, it won’t be small Peanut kicked out 4396, man, I have to retreat bravely]

On the other hand, Zhuo Ding’s five stats are also among the top three. It seems that he is not as invincible as Lin Ran, but he has one stat. Qi Juechen.

Single kill.

As of today, TOP regular season 18 big games and 45 small games, Zhuo Ding slashed 33 single kills!

On the single-kill list, Lin Ran, TheShy and Rookie are at the bottom. Their number of single-kills is around 25.

Currently, the IG game has ended, and Lin Ran, unless he gets 7 more single kills than Zhuodin in the final game, otherwise knight is destined to become the single kill king of S8 Spring Split.

"Knight is a bit strong in solo kills," I remember laughing. "I remember he cut 5 solo kills from FPX's Mid Laner at the beginning of the season."

"Yes, Abing's performance on TOP is not ideal," Zeyuan pondered for two seconds. "But objectively speaking, the schedule does have a certain impact on the single kill data."

"Because the win rate of IG and YM is too high, there are not many small games, and the cumulative number of single kills must be less."

tone barely fell, the BP screen has appeared on the scene On the big screen!

"YM has the priority to choose sides in this game. They first banned Ryze in the Blue Team!"

Redmi originally planned to be a BP for the players. It’s okay to get to the hero. Didn’t expect Zhuo Ding to come to the lounge to play the game, and he had to fight Lin Ran in Mid-Lane.

Since this is the case, he is also serious, and let the group of younger brothers on the opposite side see his own strength.

"The first ban of TOP was given to Camile. With the version changes, Camille's priority in Top Laner is getting higher and higher, and Brother Ran and GimGoon's mid-up swing is also very fatal!"

p>

Today, the Top Laner ecological chain is dominated by tanks, and Vladimir, which can easily and steadily develop tanks in the back, often appears.

Unfortunately, Camile can do no solution to the tank in the later stage; when dealing with Vladimir, it can use E [Hookshot] close and passive adaptive shield to keep changing blood, even The chance of a single kill.

In this way, even though Camile has not been enhanced recently, it has become the hottest Top Laner version.

Redmi chose to block the strong version of ADC Xia in the second ban, so that it can destroy the arrangement of TOP in the Red Team and prevent them from taking the Xia Luo combination.

"TOP banned Olaf..." Zeyuan was not surprised, "This hero also ushered in an enhancement in version 8.5, and the early stage is too strong, and it is inevitable to be targeted."

YM gave Gangplank the last ban in the first round.

"Huh?" Remember to frown, "Is this GimGoon's own hero banned?"

Zawamoto was also puzzled, "Gangplank ushered in the previous version. Weakened, but still very strong at Top Laner. After all, the two innate talents, Omen of Burglary and Grip of Immortality, are very compatible with Gangplank Q [Gunfire Negotiations]."

He proposed another idea, "Is this Gangplank banned to get Swain for GimGoon?"

The tactician commander has undergone a redo in version 8.4. The old Swain completely withdrew from the stage of history, and now it is Noxus commanding Swain.

When I redoed the installation, Swain's strength was not high, but he couldn't bear to strengthen his fist in Lin 8.5. Now Swain is also the man at the top of the Top Laner food chain.

"Impossible," when you hear Zeyuan's words, remember to refute immediately, "Swain plays Gangplank. It is easier for Swain to play Gangplank, whether it is in line or group fight. It makes no sense to ban Gangplank."

p>

TOP this season's coach is poppy (Poppy) who quit from RNG's youth training department. He stood behind Zhuo Ding and turned over his notebook. He had the same questions as Remember and Zeyuan.

This Gangplank ban is really unfathomable mystery.

"Is it possible for them to shake Swain to Mid-Lane?" Zoom put forward his own thoughts.

Poppy continues to deduced according to his own Top Laner's ideas, so that if Gangplank is disabled, it will be clear that YM is most likely to get the front row tank for GimGoon.

"Ban Swain, we can't solve it." Poppy said to his team members.

Hearing the decision of his coach, Zoom feels a bit pity, he Swain is quite strong, didn't expect to let himself take the ban position in this round.

"YMBlue Team still needs Thresh for the first choice!" Remember to analyze briefly, "They have to ensure that Liu Qiusong has enough influence on the map in the early and mid-term, using Thresh, a hero that can be called a perfect skill mechanism. Linked with their own Jungle and Mid Laner."

Now as long as Thresh is outside, Redmi has always been grabbed without the slightest hesitation.

This is a strong hero that YM used other people's hero pool to win for Liu Qiusong. Naturally, there is no reason not to choose.

But Poppy is also prepared for this, "Take Varus and Jarvan IV, I'm sorry you try to see Brother Ran to death in this game, don't make knight too uncomfortable."

A bun’s face was nodded, "Don’t worry, I will live in Mid-Lane for this game."

He can tell who is TOP’s real dad, as long as Zhuo Ding plays comfortably, A team can be revitalized.

"Vladimir and Caitlyn, YM directly lit up two late-stage big nuclei!" Zeyuan became excited. He knew that YM was really moving, and finally gave up those Yin Sector team composition.

Seeing YM's top three candidates, Poppy was thinking hard and didn't understand the rationality of YM's team composition.

Caitlyn's strong period is a standard U-shape. The early laning hand is really strong, and the mid-term growth rate is too low and there is no Infinity Edge, resulting in very weak DPS ability.

And Vladimir's strong period is also in the middle and late stages. Even if Lin Ran develops the item build idea of ​​binding magic orbs, it takes two sets and a CD shoe to start working hard.

Vladimir plus Caitlyn under normal development conditions, around 20 minutes is the most exhausted time point. Caitlyn does not have a three-piece suit, and Vladimir injury does not have strong protection...

In Poppy It seems that these two heroes and YM's mid-term thinking about Baron Nashor's decisive group fight do not match.

"Take Alistar first," thinking of this, the BP countdown is about to end, Poppy said to Zhuo Ding, "I will think about the others..."

second round BP , Poppy tries to delay the time as much as possible, leaving enough time for himself to think.

After thinking about it, he feels that YM must make up a mid-term hero to support the entire team around 20 minutes.

So he chose to put Jayce and Zoe, the two standard early and mid-term Pokehero on the ban, and did not give YM room to swing.

Redmi also praised nodded when he saw it. He knew that the opposing coach had seen his arrangement thoroughly.

But this is just one of the links. His old Yin coins have always dig a lot of pits in BP. As long as their opponents step on one, they will be at a disadvantage in the team composition.

"YM chose to disable Aoun and Shen..." Remember to raise the volume, "This is for the hero pool of Zoom!"

Camile, Swain, Gangplank, Ao Well, Shen... The two sides poured a lot of bans in Top Lane, which made Zoom very uncomfortable.

"Take Renekton first." Poppy also knew that he had to get a strong hero for Zoom, and Renekton just met his requirements.

Desert Kuangsha Renekton can easily suppress Vladimir in Top Lane, which can prevent YM from shaking Vladimir to Top Lane to the greatest extent.

Moreover, it is strong enough in the early and mid-term, and can also play its value in various group fights.

It is indeed a surefire solution.

Seeing Renekton's appearance, Redmi breathed a sigh of relief.

He released such a tempting hero, and he was afraid that the opposite coach would not be fooled.

"The last two hands of YM, Jungler Trundle and...Quinn!"

Variously uncontrollable low exclamations came from the audience, and the barrage was also a piece of question mark. attack!

"Quinn!" Remember to amplify the volume, "YM is going to show some new routine?"

"Huh? What is this?" Zoom felt that he was being fucked. "Top Laner or Mid Laner?"

Poppy at first is also a bit awkward. Quinn's hero S5 to S6 have been used to play Mid Laner for a while, and Ultimate can be used to frequently support line runs.

But he came back to his senses when he thought about it. If Quinn Mid Laner Vladimir Top Laner, this team composition would be too weird. Equivalent to send a Vladimir up to Renekton to kill.

Unsurprisingly, Quinn is giving GimGoon the Top Laner position.

Top Lane AD station?

[Familiar taste! Who said YM is not doing everything? ]

[I really want to laugh, YM's three cores don't even have control, how can I fight a group fight? ]

[I don’t know how to win this team composition]

"How about Orianna?" Poppy asked Mid Laner's opinion, "We are a bit more stable in the early game , Wait for the mid-term you to bring Jarvan IV and Alistar into the arena."

"Okay, no problem." Zhuo Ding readily agreed.

The team composition of both parties is completely determined.

Blue Team YM: Top Laner Quinn, Jungler Trundle, Mid Laner Vladimir, Bottom Lane Caitlyn +Thresh.

Red Team TOP: Top Laner Renekton, Jungler Jarvan IV, Mid Laner Orianna, Bottom Lane Varus +Alistar.

It didn't take a moment for the game to load, and the Summoners Rift arrived!
