What Is A Roaming Mid Laner?

In the afternoon of the same day, YM held its first plenary meeting after landing in Berlin.

"There are 6 teams in the main season of the midseason..." Redmi, who arrived in Berlin on the same flight with KZSquad this morning, just woke up, and there was a little tiredness in his voice.

"YM, KZ, TL, and FNC are the ones who are recommended for the main match, and the rest are the LMS champion Flash Wolves who successfully defended in the final stage and the EVSSquad of VCS (Vietnam Division)."

The result is no different from the 2017 Midseason. The five tournament areas plus the most powerhouse Vietnam division in the wild card form all the teams in the main season.

"6 teams have a double round of BO1, and each team plays 10 group matches. The last four teams with the best records advance to the knock out competition stage..."

Although the players It's not the first time to participate in the mid-season championship, but Redmi still said all the rules.

Because he is really the first brother of MSI, he didn't pay much attention to the competition rules before.

"The point is here," he cleared his throat. "The team that wins the first place in the group competition will have the right to knock out competition and choose the opponent first. You can find one between the third and the fourth. Pinch the soft persimmon."

"I think this is not very useful, right?" GimGoon was a little skeptical, "They are all three or four in the group, and their strength is not very good."

"How do I think this is to avoid 2016 again?" Lin Ran laughed.

S6 MSI held in Shanghai, there was a schedule that fists wanted to see most.

The host RNG, who had just won the Spring Split championship at that time, had an impressive record of 8 wins and 2 losses in the group stage, leading the whole process to get the group first.

The rules at the time were not as humane as they are now. The fixed group first hits fourth, and the second group hits third.

After all, in the case of overwhelming majority, the fourth in the group is considered to be the weaker side.

2016 is an exception.

The fourth team in that year was SKT.

Peak 96line-SKT led by Faker, Bang and Wolf.

The result is obvious. The status of SKT who entered the knock out competition has improved rapidly. RNG is just a rock in front of them that is neither too big nor too small, and they didn't know that they had run over RNG.

Semifinals was eliminated after playing RNG, and the host failed to go further. The main event of the China-South Korea duel was in front, and the ratings of the finals could not be guaranteed.

Lin Ran feels that Fist has learned smarter this year, so he simply extended his advantage to the group leader and let him choose his opponent.

So you can't rely on the competition system, right?

Redmi thinks so too. He reaches out and knocks on the whiteboard, "We and KZ are the first echelon. There is no doubt about this..."

"The rest is lightning The three teams of Wolves, FNC and TL," Redmi gave the players an analysis of the situation, "FNC is undoubtedly the strongest."

No one disputes this point.

In the 14 hours on Corki, the YM players were not idle either. Lin Ran, who couldn't sleep at the time, watched the Spring Split finals in both the European and South Korean Tournament regions.

FNC's performance in this spring was quite impressive, with 14 wins and 4 losses in the regular season record of all Alliance first. In the finals, it was the same as Snickers, sweeping G2 3:0.

According to the competition in the past, Europe is ranked third after China and South Korea, which is much stronger than North America and LMS.

"So are we going to be the first in the group?" Jackey felt that Redmi had said some nonsense in Lao Li. KZ and FNC were too strong. Semifinals were not very good at playing these two teams. In the end It must not be the first place, semifinals choose a Lightning Wolf or TL to easily advance?

"no no no," Redmi shook his head after listening to Jiang Chenglu's feedback, "The KZ coaching staff will also do the team strength analysis I told you."

"You mean..." Lin Ran's eyes lit up.

Redmi and Lin Ran looked at each other, applauding, "Yes, KZ doesn't want to face us and FNC in semifinals."

He continued: "5 On the 13th and May 15th, we will face KZ twice. It can be said that the victory or defeat of these two group matches will determine the final ranking situation."

"If KZ is to guarantee The group is the first. In these two rounds, we must play the hole card. We can guarantee that he wins the top of the group by defeating us. In this way, Gouba and I will break KZ's card."

Redmi I smoothed my thoughts and spoke faster and faster, "Even if our semifinals face FNC, we don’t have to worry about it, and don’t talk about whether FNC can pose a fatal threat to us. Even if we can, we are nothing more than using our hole cards for our hole cards, and everyone is not at a loss. "

"If KZ is also trying to hide moves, then I believe that we are better than the other in normal play, and get the first place in the group, let FNC play KZ and slap him hard!"

Guo Hao, the manager, heard nodded as if drunk and stupefied next to him, and his eyes became more brilliant.

His S6 can think of using US service rankings to fake the illusion that Xiaosao is proficient in Nidalee. It is not silly and sweet, and the tricks used are dirtier than anyone else.

At this time, I heard Redmi’s strategy and regarded it as a confidant.

"Then our strategy for the group competition is basically determined," Redmi finally concluded, "Play normally, hide all the tricks in the knock out competition, and don't force the group to be the first. The schedule is very long, and the winner is the last laugh."

……

May 11th, the opening day of the MSI main event.

The weather in Berlin is much colder than that in Shanghai. In addition, these days are always cloudy and overcast with no sunshine. Sometimes Lin Ran leaves the hotel at night to go for a stroll, and his fingers are numb by the cold wind. .

To keep warm today, a group of people put on short-sleeved sweaters on the MSI prepared by Tengjing this year to conquer.

This time they came to the gold master BMW’s Place of Origin Germany, and not surprisingly they received preferential treatment. The brand new BMW 7-series sedan with the YM team logo sprayed them to the group stage venue-LCSEU live broadcast room.

"...How does this look like a factory building?" Jackey could not help but vomit when he saw the whole scene of the stadium through the car window.

Lin Ran and GimGoon in the same car also nodded in agreement with Shiba Inu's statement that the pavilion looks ugly from the outside, and the rough architectural structure and casual decoration style really make them very unaccustomed.

"It's pretty good inside," Vincent, who was sitting in the co-pilot, explained back to them, "Berlin graffiti culture is prevalent. Look ahead, there is LCSEU's unique graffiti wall."

p>

There are already many spectators waiting in line for ticket admission, and the BMW with its unique team logo painted instantly attracted their attention.

The audience was holding their cellphones to prepare for the shooting, and at the same time they cheered in bursts of cheers.

When the six YM team members got off the car, the MSI put on the conquest to keep out the cold made the German audience shine.

The classic red and white base, the sleeves are also embroidered with traditional Chinese moire patterns, the LPL race logo is on the back, and a Golden Dragon is surrounded by the logo.

This costume is quite eye-catching in a foreign country in Berlin, and the onlookers responded enthusiastically to it.

"It's so cool!" A boy who looked exactly like a German boy pointed to Lin Ran's back and asked in fluent English, "Where can I buy this dress?"

Vincent answered this question while guarding the Player. The audience was too enthusiastic, and there were people who gathered around for a group photo.

"Couldyoupleaseletmethrough? (Can you let me pass)" Lin Ran also wanted to rush to the arena, but could only repeat the reading continuously, trying to make the audience blocked in front of him retreat.

He feels that if he continues to say this, he will soon become Letme.

At the same time, KZSquad took the bus provided by Fist and arrived outside the stadium.

But there is no eye-catching team logo, no luxury cars and highly regional costumes, plus the average KZ historical performance, except for Xiao Peanuts, the popularity in Germany is not high...

Only a few Korean students gathered around KZ and wanted to get a photo with Xiao Peanut's autographs. If you count them carefully, there are not as many KZ employees as the onlookers.

Never mind if it is usual.

But now YM, the biggest imaginary enemy of KZ in this season's midseason, is not far away, enjoying the thunderous applause of the German audience!

Can this be tolerated?

Khan’s eyes are red, like a fierce rabbit.

"Ah..." Gorilla uttered a Korean habitual exclamation, "BMW, really rich."

"What are you talking about?" Khan felt sour. The performance is very unconvincing, "Is Equus?"

Equus is considered as a high-end Korean Hyundai model, the price is approaching one million Renminbi, and the recognition in the hearts of Korean people is quite high. .

"WTF... Donghe, are you kidding me?" Pray Pray, a senior seniority, laughed, "Equus is good, but there is no way to compare it with BMW."

Khan saw that Lin Ran was still trying to get rid of the encirclement of the enthusiastic audience, and there was not even a fan around him, and his fists were suddenly stiff.

This is called death due to drought or death due to waterlogging?

"Do you want to take a photo?" He looked towards the female student on the side.

The girl's eyes turned around between khan and the delicate and pretty cute little peanut, without the slightest hesitation, she chose the latter.

Khan looked at the girls who surrounded the little peanuts with great grief and indignation. He felt like a sand mouth.

The air is trembling, can this World be healed?

Lin Ran struggled to get rid of the German audience and successfully entered the stadium with teammate and coaching staff.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the huge physical logo of LCSEU, which used three-dimensional 3D skills, which looked quite shocking.

Pass the first security check and confirm that everyone does not carry prohibited items before they are allowed to pass.

A narrow corridor leads to the Squad lounge in the backstage, and the honorary history of the European division is recorded on the walls on both sides.

S1 champion FNC champion group photo and corresponding skin portrait are very remarkable, everyone who enters here can see it at a glance.

Following a series of small event champions, it is estimated that the real value of the first Challenger in S6 will not be as high as that of the total.

Before entering the Squad lounge, Lin Ran also saw the souvenir display cabinet, which attracted his attention.

"This is?" He pointed to a Gangplank boat keyboard in the cabinet, feeling familiar.

Vinson stood in front of him to lead the way, and immediately turned around when he heard Lin Ran's question.

"This," he was not surprised, "it is the keyboard you used in the S6 World Championship. You were elected FMVP. This keyboard is also very commemorative, so we kept it. It’s a collection."

The Gangplank boat in the glass cabinet is bleak, the keycaps are well maintained, clean and tidy, and a small piece of YMRan tape is attached to the palm rest, which was used to distinguish between teammates. Nowadays, Lin Ran has used this keyboard to fight in North America.

"The Gangplank ship next to it is owned by Marin. He won the FMVP at the S5 Global Finals held in Europe. There is also a Faker at the 2014 Paris LOL All-star Event and the 2013 Global Championship. The black Evelynn used in the final." As a fist employee, Vincent is quite familiar with these histories.

"My S6 is competing in North America, why did the keyboard come to Europe?" Lin Ran was curious.

Vincent shrugged, "North America and Europe are not separated now, they are all LCS, and it is reasonable to transport things back and forth."

He took the entire group and found the house. Push the door to the room with the YM team logo. Inside, there are tables and chairs in neat and tidy.

As usual, in the center of the room is a Summoners Rift whiteboard, which is also a standard feature of major Squads today, allowing coaches and players to discuss and plan tactics on it.

The TV screen in the room has been connected to the commentary station of LCSEU. The better place than LPL is that the commentary and director list more and more detailed data.

For example, Lin Ran now sees two commentaries analyzing the activity route fifteen minutes before the YM game.

"Ran usually starts his first attacking attempt at 2 minutes and 40 seconds..." commentary Vedius tapped his finger on the screen.

The screen shows Lin Ran’s early action heat maps in the two BO5 games of the playoffs. Among them, the point density of the two Jungles is quite high. The more you move to the side, the more action points are distributed. Sparse.

"He will take advantage of the first wave of Cannon Minion creep line to clear the gap and go to the opponent’s Jungle," another commentary Meidc analyzed, "mainly because of the first recall back to base I didn’t buy shoes before. If the movement speed is slow, if you rush to the two sidelines forcibly, you will waste a lot of time and even lose a small soldier. In contrast, Jungle is closer to Mid-Lane and walks. The time cost will not be very high."

Lin Ran put the backpack on the chair, unzipped the keyboard and mouse, and listened to the forward-looking analysis of the two commentaries. Quandang was in Exercise your English level.

"And when Crisp got Alistar, he likes to call Jungler to help push the line first, consume the opponent's HP by the way, and then use the advancement of the Cannon Minion pawn or the opponent's recall back to base supply gap , Leave the side road to help feed my own Jungle..."

"Okay," the famous female Anchor Sjokz interrupted two commentaries, "I know that YM is the favorite of this MSI championship. But can the analysis of them end here?"

"Please, today's opener is the focus of FNC against TL, EU and NA. Can't you analyze this game?" She shook her blonde hair, slightly teasing.

Vedius shrugged, "Come on, maybe let Doublelift become a strange Academician, go to the future to see 1400W endings, he may find a way to defeat FNC."

This is the stalk of the "Avengers Alliance 3" which was just released in Europe at the end of April this year. The commentary is lively and learnt and moved directly to the EU and NA duel.

As soon as I said this, the three ruthless laughed heartily in the studio.

No matter how China and South Korea are torn, they will not attract too much attention from Europe and North America. They only care about whether they can defeat their rivals.

"Let'sGoFnatic!" Sjokz cheered up the team from the patriarch field, "this time let the whole world see your strength!"

"Set a small goal, let's first Recover the intercontinental championship lost last year." Meidc squeezed his eyes and teased.

Not only the three LPL-LCK-LMS regions will regularly host intercontinental games, but also between Europe and the United States.

It's a pity that in the 2017 Intercontinental Games, North America swept Europe 3:0 and successfully won the first Intercontinental Championship trophy, making all North American audiences proud and taunting Europeans.

Although they have difficulty making it into the quarterfinals in the world tournament, the winners of the Intercontinental Tournament, which is a head-to-head confrontation event, will enjoy the right to speak of Internet public opinion for a whole year.

European audiences who have always had the upper hand are very dissatisfied with this. This MSI is a good opportunity for them to make a shame.

"The keyboard and the mouse, hurry up!" In the lounge, Vincent is still urging the Players, "I will send the peripherals for testing later, you remember to follow the staff to the dressing room! "

Six players put their peripheral equipment into the box, and Vincent squatted down and easily hugged the big box with his arms in a circle.

"ao Yo, my little brother has good waist strength." Lin Weixiang squeezed his throat as a pretentious accent, and reached out to touch Vincent's abdominal muscles. He was almost hit by a box on the top of his head.

Half an hour after they finished putting on makeup, the YM team members took off to conquer. The continuous heating in the stadium allowed them to wear team uniforms and short sleeves.

"When you play later, you can walk on the yellow line drawn in advance." Vincent sent back the keyboard and mouse, and then led them to the wall from the main stage. "Lin Ran, your task is to send the MSI championship trophy to the high platform in the middle of the stage. The other five people are simpler, just stand behind him, and you don’t have to do anything else."

The midseason trophy is not as big as the summoner trophy. It doesn't take five people to work together for Lin Ran to hold it.

Six team members were nodded together, indicating that they had understood Vincent's instructions.

The KZ people leaning on the root of the wall saw the championship trophy held by Lin Ran, and their eyes showed obvious salivation.

Khan looked rebellious and champion, as if this golden cup was in his pocket.

From the moment he embarked on the professional road, his goal was only the champion.

The audience has already waved the support stick and started to shout the countdown spontaneously. The restless voice and unabashed excitement and joy poured into Lin Ran's ears through the wall.

"Three, two, one!"

There was a burst of cheers, and the sound of fists breaking glass came!

Lin Ran's heart shook violently, and took a deep breath trying to calm the excitement spreading from the bottom of his heart.

This sound effect also kicked off his and YM journey in this midseason match!

The first to be broadcast was the promotional video of this mid-season championship. The major landmarks of Berlin appeared in front of everyone in turn.

The camera finally stops on the Brandenburg Gate.

Then Ou Cheng's handsome, angular face appeared in the center of the screen.

The local popular Player made the audience more restless and enthusiastic. Fans shouted Martin (Ou Cheng’s real name) to cheer for him!

"Martin?" At this time, the garlic head bachelor did not forget eccentric, "Is it the Dinghuang European branch?"

Jackey lived in Bengbu, and immediately laughed out of boxes and boxes. .

"This is the seventh year of my Professional career." In the promo, Ou Cheng combed his shiny back, "I have never led the squad leader to enter the final of a world-type event before. "

"But I think this is an opportunity," Ou Cheng said firmly, "The new FNC, the new European hope."

"I will use actual actions to tell LPL and LCK-you have ruled this arena long enough, now is the time of European revival!"

There was cheers in the audience, and even the chat channel in the live broadcast room on Twitch had a lot of Europe. People are expressing their expectations with various expressions.

Regardless of whether Ou Cheng's sentence can be realized in the end, it is true for him to understand in terms of public opinion.

The camera is switched to the Eldest Senior Brother who is going with the team this year. He has a tendon and an inverted triangle figure. It seems that he has not done much exercise recently, and his pectoralis major muscles hold up the liquid team uniform very full.

"Everyone thinks of North America. First impression always loses." The smile on Eldest Senior Brother's face is still cheerful. "But this time we will show something different. It's time for the audience to change NA's stereotype."

【Before NA was able to win two games, and now they are out without a win, the audience will break the stereotype of NA and put them at the same level as Vietnam. Don't]

[NA and Vietnam, lol]

[EUmonster, what are you barking at, you haven’t been beaten in the Rivals, right? ]

[Laughing to death, can North America qualify for the world game once without relying on C9? Qiu Li Gao]

[What, C9 is not an NA team, is it? The U.S. Air Force will be at your door soon! 】

I have to say that the name of the C9 gold master is loud enough. As soon as the U.S. Air Force takes action, there will be expressions left in the chat channel of the entire live broadcast room.

Berlin LCSEU studio, the promotional video on the big screen is still playing.

mapleboth hands crossed near chest, appearing in the center of the lens.

"Everyone thinks that LMS is declining, and they even say that we are the weakest in the five tournament zones..." He bends like a dog, and Lin Ran feels a little bit after listening to it for a long time. Kindly, this thing may be as contagious as the northeastern dialect.

"But this time the Lightning Wolves will use actions to prove that we are definitely not a fish to be slaughtered."

The next Vietnamese team will also come over and say harsh words, but the appearance of the scorpion, At first glance, they are not as confident as the previous celebrity Players.

Khan’s champion face appeared. Like last year’s world game, he is still quite domineering and cool. "I have already conquered the LCK. Now, the world’s Top Laner, come to me. !"

The German audience at the scene admired Khan's words very much, and gave applause with some praise.

Finally, Lin Ran's face suddenly appeared on the screen.

In just an instant, the shouts that broke out on the scene echoed in the confined space!

All the German audience tried their best to hit the cheering sticks that collided with their hands, and the momentum was overwhelmed by emotions!

At this time, it was during the domestic evening rush hour. The audience watching the live broadcast of the event was many people. This scene made many domestic audiences utter praise.

[Ghost, what brand is this? ]

[After all, double crowns, do you think? 】

【Lee Sang-hyeok won't come, Brother Ran is the MSI God! ]

[What is KZ, wait for YM to win another championship, swollen Han's big B face, and throw it with us here? 】

"All the Players have made a lot of rhetoric," Lin Ran's voice on the screen is very calm, "I am different."

"This time I will not ask for MSI Progress, as long as the results are the same as last year," he nodded nodded, "There is one thing to say, I am relatively easy to be satisfied."

There was a lot of laughter at the scene, even Sjokz did not Hold back.

[Box box box you started again? ]

[I didn’t expect the same results as last year, you just said that you won the championship (Nasus)]

[Indeed, Brother Ran’s starting point is your entire professional career The goal of the struggle]

[Ran: I’m not targeting anyone, I mean everyone here...]

[Snatch me the words of Eldest Senior Brother, right?

This is the end of the promotional video.

"Next, please have the 2016 and 2017 global finals champions, 2017 MSI champions, YoungMiracles!" Sjokzloudly shouted.

Lin Ran held the championship trophy and followed the yellow line on the ground of the stage to the central high platform under the guidance of Vincent.

both of his hands stretched forward and placed the championship trophy on the high platform amidst the continuous cheers and cheers!

When the trophy was in place, the dry ice mist erupted from the edge of the stage made a loud noise!

Behind him, the other five members of YM stood apart, and reserved began to pretend to be cold.

Sjokz waved his arms to stimulate the atmosphere once again, "Let’s welcome KingZone from LCK, TeamLiquid from LCSNA, FlashWolves from LMLeague of Legends World Championship, EVOSEsports from Vietnam VCLeague of Legends World Championship... …And, Fnatic from LCSEU!!!"

The host team FNC made its debut, bringing the already restless atmosphere of the scene to a climax again!

……

Squad's debut ceremony is over, Lin Ran and the teammates returned to the backstage lounge to watch the opening match between EU and NA.

In the first game, FNCMid Laner Caps showed strong enough strength. His selected Ryze used Rift Herald to tie the liquid team's Mid-Lane tower in the early 10 minutes.

And Ou Cheng of Bottom Lane is still developing steadily against the Eldest Senior Brother.

The nickname of the European High School, his style of play is also very similar to a smile, the line is stable and the group fight takes over the game.

The engines of the entire team are handed over to Jungler & Support.

Especially Support Helios, Major Perfection played by Alistar, wandering frequently to drive the rhythm of the game.

"This level of FNC is okay!" Lin Ran watched their game against G2 before, and found that he still underestimated the European hegemon who has risen again.

GimGoon and Lin Ran have similar views, "The main reason is that their three lines are not weak, and the strength of the entire team has been raised."

This game, three Road alignment is the foundation. As long as the alignment is strong enough, Jungler can win.

Because of online protection of Jungle, the lower limit of Jungle Player can be guaranteed.

Jungler is responsible for the early rhythm drive and feeds back the online advantage, which can raise the upper limit of the strength of the entire team.

So the pattern is quite obvious.

Most of the strong teams in the league, the strength of the three-line is definitely the first line, at least there can be no obvious shortcomings, as long as the three-line strength is placed here, with a good Jungler, it is enough to tyrannize in the league. .

And the historically strong team that dominates the world game, on the basis of the intensity of the line, there is also a Jungler with a very high upper limit.

From Bengi to Duo San to Little Tian, ​​some have outstanding consciousness, and some have won the game, but there is no doubt that they have crushed other players in their championship year.

Now this FNC relies on the team composition of Top Laner bwipo, Mid Laner Caps and Bottom Lane Ou Cheng, which is enough to be called a strong team in the league.

But whether it can go further, it still depends on Jungle.

"Caps shark is crazy!" European commentary roared angry roar, "He reaped the battle, rune Ap Carry has finished super god!"

Under the camera, he looks like Mr. Bean Caps grinned wildly, and in just 22 minutes in this round, he refreshed his record to 804.

Now that the three-piece Ryze has a high DPS, the Eldest Senior Brother sees that he has less than 14 blood remaining and wants to go forward and collect the bounty.

The Kai'Sa he operated turned into a phantom of the void and rushed behind Ryze!

"Caps had been prepared for a long time, activated the active effect of Kayle's Embrace, refreshed a layer of shield, EW fixed the Eldest Senior Brother, the burst damage of overload is incredible!"

"He destroyed TL!"

In 22 minutes, the economic gap between the two sides was as high as 1.2W. FNC won Baron Nashor and prepared to end the game!

The German audience excitedly tapped the support stick to express their inner excitement!

【EU＞NA! ]

[10% off water bottle in North America? Laughing Lord]

[Eldest Senior Brother, dare you to fly? 】

【Feifeifeifeifei! 】

A reality is highlighted in the Twitch station’s live broadcast room. North American audiences changed their faces to Sima without saying anything, and let European audiences ride their faces as taunt.

"Go away, ready to go on stage!" Redmi clapped his hands to let the players focus.

Lin Ran went to the bathroom, then took a drink, and walked onto the stage holding the peripherals.

"TL fought and retreated, gave up two highlands, FNC played steadily, returned to Base to replenish equipment again, and pushed to the high ground of the liquid team with a super advantage of 1.5w!"

Eldest Senior Brother also wanted Final Struggle and bought a mercury lift operation space.

"CapsFlash moved forward, QEQ and Ezreal's Ultimate dropped the Eldest Senior Brother in seconds!"

Doublelift people are dumbfounded. He is such a big Kai'Sa, so he is gone?

"FNC pushed flat all the way and destroyed the opponent's Base!" The European commentary couldn't hide its joy, "Congratulations to Fnatic, for a successful start!"

"This is a good start! Sleeping The European hegemon is waking up!"

The players from both sides shook hands and left the field. Players from YM and Lightning Wolves took to the stage to prepare for their first game!
