What is a wandering mid laner?

But no amount of words can describe your contribution to YM Club.

Three years passed in a flash, and it was time to say goodbye in a blink of an eye.

Ran's career has come to an end, and Lin Ran's life is about to embark on a new journey.

I wish you all the best and smooth sailing! 】

The accompanying picture is a nine-square grid.

From a 17-year-old ignorant boy to a 20-year-old mainstay in the competition area, he smiled brightly at the camera at all stages.

Weibo was almost paralyzed.

The headlines at the top of the hot search were all dominated by this news.

Although Lin Ran had already agreed in advance that he would take a rest next year.

But when this moment really comes, there are still countless netizens who cannot accept it.

[The house has completely collapsed! 】

[YM Goodbye was canceled, Brother Ran also left, next year the team will be full of new faces? 】

【I'm throwing up, I've thought about how to exit countless times, but I never expected that the three consecutive championships broke up YM! 】

[Guo Hao, do something useful, Guo Hao! 】

The League of Legends and Tengjing official blog sent blessings in the comment area.

Xiaohu, Shi Senming and other close friends expressed their reluctance.

The other 13 clubs of the LPL have also started their team building journey.

Riot Games' official Twitter even replaced the avatar and background with photos related to Lin Ran.

Riot Games: [May Ran have a bright future ahead, you will always be our pride and an irreplaceable symbol of League of Legends]

Lin Ran liked and reposted this Weibo of YM official publicity freeman, and left a comment below.

【Three years of becoming a professional player is the most exciting chapter in my hot youth】

At 10:30 in the middle of the night in Las Vegas, Lin Ran wandered the Las Vegas Boulevard, looking at the bright stars in the sky, planning to start a new life.

Chapter 668: The coach is warming up?

Lin Ran originally thought that after losing the 2v2 match, it was the last day of the All-Stars where he could go shopping, eat and play, and relax.

But it turns out he was overthinking it.

Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door of his hotel room. When he opened the door, he found two circles of people outside.

Most of them are professional players, and even Riot employees.

After seeing the announcement on YM's official blog, everyone became enthusiastic and planned to see Lin Ran for the last time.

No one can stand it.

It's like a fan meeting for him.

Signing autographs, taking photos, exchanging team uniforms, and saying a few words of congratulations, Lin Ran has not been idle all day.

It wasn't until the evening that he finally had time to drink water and eat.

I turned on my phone and took a quick glance. The number of comments on my Weibo announcing a break easily exceeded 80W. Every time I refreshed, I could see a bunch of new comments appearing.

In addition to the players, commentators, and hosts related to the League of Legends, there were also a few young stars who came to have fun.

CCTV News also liked it.

As a unique existence in the LPL, Lin Ran can be regarded as a representative of League of Legends e-sports breaking the circle, and it is only natural that the discussion is high.

After dinner, I was about to go for a walk outside the hotel when Wen Sen stopped me.

"The two founders want to meet with you," he said with uncontrollable excitement, "come with me."

Lin Ran didn't expect such a link, but he couldn't miss it, so he tidied up and went to the hotel coffee shop with Wen Sen.

Tryndamere and Ryze, who can be seen in every international competition, are sitting there, crossing their legs and looking at ease.

"Good evening." Ruiz raised the bone china cup and greeted the two.

Lin Ran sat down and ordered a drink for himself, then looked at the founder of Riot Games across the table, he didn't know what the other party was looking for him for.

"After you and YM sent out the rest statement last night, my phone was buzzing." Tryndamere shrugged. "Many editors of e-sports media want to get some news from me."

"When you're busy with work, everyone wants to chat with you for a long time." Ruiz played a stalk of his own game lines, as a way to liven up the atmosphere.

"Let's cut to the chase, let's cut to the chase." Tryndamere went straight to the point, "Ran, are you planning to come back after the break?"

In all the statements, Lin Ran and YM used the word 'rest' instead of retirement.

This was also what Tryndamere was curious about.

Hearing this sentence, Lin Ran thought for a moment and answered, "Nine times out of ten, there will be no comeback."

He really didn't have any desire to return to the professional arena. The feeling of being the top player was not good. The other professional players had already been left far behind by him. Lin Ran couldn't find any goal to continue his struggle.

Feeling a little lonely.

Xiaoguan, Jin Gong and Jack, who won three S championships with him, will rest.

Big Eyebrow and Tie Shao will continue to fight next year, but they only have two championships. Unless YM wins another World Championship next year, they will be able to tie with Lin Ran.

Even so, Lin Ran is still ahead of a bunch of FMVPs.

It can be said that Faker is the only player who can affect his historical status at present, but it is unknown whether Lee Sang Hyuk, who will be 9 years old in S23, can still carry the team.

Lin Ran has not retired yet because he has to wait for his teammates to join him.

Seeing what he said, Ruiz immediately leaned forward.

"Then are you interested in working at Riot?"

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows, the other party's words were beyond his expectation.

"Before coming to Las Vegas, Vincent should have given you a brief introduction..." Tryndamere added beside him.

Vincent did mention it.

At that time, it was said that he could have connections, so Lin Ran could find a leisurely job in the United States with a good salary.

Unexpectedly, this connection is actually the relationship with the founder of Riot Games.

"I don't know how to program." Lin Ran took a sip of his drink, "Are you sure Riot has a suitable position for me?"

"Of course." Ryze and Tryndamere looked at each other, and they both smiled, "We guarantee that you are very suitable for this job."

They didn't keep secrets, and directly revealed the answer.

"Help me to experience the version, similar to tactical tendencies and hero strength..." Ryze continued, "Let me explain in advance, this is not an ordinary tester, what we need you to give is feedback from the professional arena."

"That's right, if it's just an ordinary qualifying match, we don't need you to do it. Those who have big data to help, and Riot's personnel reserves can also handle it," Tryndamere added next to him, "In contrast, top professional The number of game samples in the arena is too small, and it is difficult to have a correct understanding of the version based on data analysis alone."

With the development of League of Legends to this day, relying on high-intensity linkage, communication and tactical operations, the professional arena and passerby ranking are no longer the same game.

Most of Riot's designer teams are around diamonds. It is really difficult to analyze the version understanding in the professional arena at this level.

The two founders felt that they changed the version many times in 2018, but they still failed to restrict YM. The main reason is that they did not target the pain points, and all the cuts were irrelevant. Naturally, they could not shake the dominance of YM.

But Lin Ran was different.

They know what role the opponent plays in the YM team. Shiyizhong's understanding and adaptability to the version is superior to other teams.

If Lin Ran can be allowed to work with fists, then the company's ability to control the game version will be instantly improved rapidly.

"Don't worry, you are satisfied with the salary package." Ruiz increased his weight.

Lin Ran is still digesting the news.

Last season, I was still fighting against the designer, but now I am hired by Riot?

"Well... I might have to think about it again," he didn't make a decision right away, "and I don't think I will come next year, even if I join the job, I have to wait until the middle of 20 years."

"No problem," Ruiz didn't care, he added Lin Ran's contact information, "Just let me know when you think it over."

The relaxing and entertaining All-Star Game finally came to an end. Lin Ran and his teammates played in Las Vegas for two days before heading back to China.

After 20 hours of exhaustion, he finally stepped on the land of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

I can't take a break, so the interviews are non-stop. By the way, I will prepare for next year's affairs. This busy time has reached the end of the transfer period.

The LPL's breath-holding contest is finally over.

Clubs have announced their squads for 2019 today.

IG found a player whose ID is Gala for the old thief Sima to rotate, and the rest of the players remained unchanged. Since Jin Jingzhu only won the runner-up in S8, he renewed his contract for another year with regret.

RNG is considered to be the team with the fewest player changes. The new version has defensive tower plating, which is very unfriendly to LPL blue-collar top laners like Letme, but he still decided to play again.

And the team couldn't find any particularly reliable top laner for a while, so they could only continue to use Yan Junze.

Mala Xiangguo thought the same way. He managed to survive until the YM quartet left, ready to show off his skills and quickly win two championships.

The much-anticipated YM list surfaced on the afternoon of the last day of the transfer period.

YM E-Sports Club: [After working hard during the month-long transfer period, I am very happy to share our success with you. All the members have assembled and are going to compete in the Demacia Cup! 】

The following long picture lists all the personnel in the YM training department.

Top order: Khan, 369

Jungle: XLB

Mid single: Knight

Bot lane: LWX

Support: Crisp

Head Coach: Homme, Analyst: Dog8, Assistant Coaches: Tian, ​​Ran.

As soon as the big list came out, YM fans were immediately blown away.

[Good guy, Triple Crown Nakano is the coach? 】

[YM's coaching staff is extremely luxurious, worth more than the players]

[If YM Nakano pulls his crotch next season, brother Ran and Xiaoyan in the lounge will change into team uniforms and go straight to it]

[Brother Hao has really done his best for the family of YM, the god of the transfer period! 】

[Why did Khan come to LPL again? Didn’t he flourish in the LCK for the past two years?]

Xiaolongbao and 369 are both youth training rookies who have appeared in YM before. Guo Hao really used his money wisely, and he wanted a price-performance ratio.

The whole process of Khan coming to YM can be said to have been planned for a long time.

At the end of the mid-season in May, Khan's KZ was beaten by YM, and he already wanted to leave the team.

He was randomly killed in the S7 World Championship, and after strengthening Peanut as a jungler, there was still no hope of victory. Khan felt that it was time to bring his talent to YM.

School Baodu has already proved that if you can't win, I will join you, and Khan has realized some truth.

Jin Gong and him have a good relationship, and they match up with each other. If you love me, I would like to, the two hit it off, and Khan successfully joined the YM team.

"By the way, what's going on with that assistant coach?" Su Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed, was still flipping through the comments section of YM's official blog, and asked her boyfriend by the way, "You don't have to work?"

Lin Ran brought a plate of cut oranges, "That's right, it's the same as when you were an analyst."

"Brother Hao has been very sincere in order to draw me into the team. Usually, I basically don't need to work, as long as I have a name."

According to Guo Hao, he only needs to connect remotely at home to help review games and training games. He doesn't even need to go to the base, which is extremely easy.

"From now on, we will have leisure and entertainment in the morning, replay in the afternoon and live broadcast in the evening," Lin Ran lay on the bed, squinting his eyes comfortably, "Isn't this day too comfortable?"

Su Cheng hummed twice, leaned back, lay next to her boyfriend, and continued to read the paper in her hand.

That night, Lin Ran met with members of YM's competition training department through a video call.

Several other old teammates are still at the base now.

In the past three years, they left too many things in YM, and they couldn't clean them up in a short while.

In other words, he didn't want to pack up and leave so quickly.

Their hometowns are not too close to the Shanghai stock market, so they can't go back whenever they want like Lin Ran.
