What is a wandering mid laner?

Lin Ran responded, and he looked out of the window, the white and puffy clouds like cotton candy were close at hand.

"At that time, the sponsor behind us may not be able to keep all the team members." Brother Hao saw Lin Ran lost in thought, thinking that he had disturbed his thoughts, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, "Don't think about this now, just finish playing well first. finals."

"What?" Lin Ran was puzzled when he heard Brother Hao's words, "I'm wondering if I can buy a house in Shanghai with next year's salary."

"How many million will my salary be next year?" Lin Ran began to count, "The down payment should be enough, what about social security? Brother Hao, I asked you last time..."

Brother Hao was helpless.

Checking into the hotel, the exhausted YM did not play the top ranked players as usual, and held a meeting to discuss the strategy to deal with SKT.

"The first point is also SKT's weakest player this year, top laner Duke." Su Cheng in the camera opened his notebook.

"Why do you say that this year's SKT is weaker than last year? The problem lies in the top laner. In terms of personal strength and team integration, he is worse than S5's Marin."

"In the 12 games so far, Duke's team participation rate is the lowest among the top laners of the 16 teams, only 52.1%."

"In the hero pool, Gnar, Troll, and Jess, the three solo heroes, he used a total of 9 games, and team-fighting heroes like Rambo and Kenan used two games."

"The combination of the two data shows that Duke's role in the team is a single belt." The main analyst took a sip of hot water, "Jin Gong, you mainly fought with him on the sidelines in the finals, don't easily send to fight the team. "

"In the semi-finals, looper overwhelmed Duke in the laning phase, and forced teleports to the bottom lane in 10 minutes to give away all his laning advantages."

Xiaotian scratched his hair. After coming to the United States for a month, he didn't trim his hairstyle. His long, limp hair covered his eyes.

"Then I want to help Jin Gong train him?"

Su Cheng shook his head, "It's not necessary, SKT will not help Duke either, he has been freed all the time, the analysis of the data of 12 games shows that in the first 20 minutes he only received support from his teammates 8 times in total."

"Average 0.66 times per game, this statistic is the lowest among all teams' top laners," Su Cheng saw Jin Gong and Xiao Tian looking at him, "In the first 20 minutes, Jin Gong would receive 1.08 times of teammate support on average in a game, compared to Duke is still tall."

"Isn't this too exaggerated?" Jin Gong spoke a mouthful of mutton-flavored Mandarin, "I feel much better in an instant, and there is a top order worse than me?"

……

In the middle of the night, after Lin Ran took a shower to get rid of his exhaustion, he leaned on the bedside of the hotel room and pulled a stack of materials, and yawned, while Xiao Tian was reading the Post Bar.

The 4-hour meeting had just ended, and during the rare leisure time before going to bed, Lin Ran was still reviewing the key points discussed this afternoon.

Except for top laner Duke who likes to play single belts, the jungler Blank nicknamed Xiao Hei and the double crown veteran Stupid are both keen to choose Olaf, an invasion-controlling jungler.

Bang, who is in the bottom lane, is good at using all the popular AD heroes in this World Championship. Jin, Han Bing, and the policewoman are all at the level of carrying, and he can also use EZ, an absolute hero sea.

As mentioned before, the strength of EZ in the current version can be called a sewer, but as the top EZ user, Bang still chooses it repeatedly, and won all the victories of EZ in the S6 finals.

Korean Wolf Warrior Wolf is a top support that combines laning suppression and map control capabilities.

As for the mid laner Faker, like Lin Ran, he can't get Syndra either. Among the other mid laner choices, he prefers Clockwork and Victor.

"Don't you want to play Dragon King..." Lin Ran glanced at Li Sang Hyuk's hero pool in the S6 finals, and muttered to himself.

He flipped through the data and found all the heroes faker has used since his debut.

There is no dragon king.

Never played this hero in the faker game.

Lin Ran clicked his tongue and lay face up on the bed, looking at the snow-white ceiling.

He looked at the remaining points in his system, BO5 has now played a total of 8 rounds, the weighted points are 50, and he has accumulated a total of 1500 points.

He raised the version development ability to 92, and then increased the lane suppression ability to 91.

The improvement of the ability above 90 points was immediate, and Lin Ran felt a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Seems to have found something amazing.

Lin Ran plans to try it out tomorrow after waking up.

In a good mood, he grabbed the tablet beside him, opened the third match between SKT and RNG, and compared it with the information provided by the main analyst.

Until 24 minutes into the game, RNG led the 5K economy with a head ratio of 4:0.

But in the next 9 minutes, SKT smoothed out the economic disadvantage through a perfect operation strategy, and then a wave of team battles sent RNG away happily.

When Lin Ran heard the news this afternoon, he felt a little unbelievable. In his opinion, it is quite remarkable that the disadvantaged side can maintain the economic gap through operations. SKT can even out the economic disadvantage through operations?

In the video, Bang and Wolf first appeared in the middle lane to put pressure on RNG at 24 minutes, while faker and duke were in the upper and lower lanes respectively. They chose to push out the pawn line and then return to the city to change the line, back and forth. .

This kind of operation made the two of them have very little time to be exposed to RNG's vision. Every wave of returning to the city made RNG tremble with fear. They didn't know if SKT's upper middle two would suddenly appear in the middle lane to gather together and push forward.

As a result, RNG's two sides did not dare to advance unscrupulously, and the advancement plan was forced to stagnate.

After 2 minutes, RNG finally came to their senses and realized that SKT should not be given a chance to procrastinate. They forcibly gathered in the middle of the road and wanted to demolish the first tower of SKT.

However, counting from the moment when the five players from RNG appeared in the middle lane, it only took 8 seconds for SKT to mobilize all their hands to defend the first tower, and the speed of switching support was exaggerated.

RNG failed to make a strong push but lost looper's life, and then was pushed back by SKT to a tower in the middle.

At 29 minutes, a battle broke out between the two sides. RNG and the five eagerly wanted to snowball and lure SKT to come out to fight them, but the seasoned defending champion was not fooled at all, and used Karma to pull consumption, and finally it was 1 for 1.

Duke, who led the line in the bottom lane, did not send support at all. Instead, he single-handedly pushed down the next tower of RNG.

In 33 minutes, faker pretended to return to the city in the grass on the top road, tricked the RNG defenders to leave, and then pushed down the top tower.

9分钟时间里，SKT通过转线运营打了RNG2:1的人头比，防御塔数量3:0，RNG的5K经济优势荡然无存。

Lin Ran watched the video twice again and felt his scalp tingling.

SKT is like a ghost. This operation method is NM outrageous. The disadvantages in the early stage can be balanced.

The defending champion has a deep understanding of the meta. The analyst team repeatedly studied SKT's style of play in the next two days and found that their style of play is almost the same as that of YM.

Generally speaking, the jungler invades for the arrow, protects and supports the middle lane, and keeps raiding the bottom lane after gaining the advantage, controls the first blood tower and the little dragon, then turns to the lane and rolls a big snowball, and finally wins the big dragon to end the game.

This is the answer to the S6 version, Fortune Password.

SKT and YM went out to shoot a promotional video on October 10th. This was also the first meeting between the two teams after the draw of the quarterfinals. The players on both sides were quite friendly.

During the recording process, faker seemed to see that the Wolverines and Clubs were overweight, so he didn't buy drinks himself, and always liked to grab their Cokes.

This made Wolf so angry that Li Jaewan, who is known as SKT's only brother Li Zaiwan, dangled his whole body and hit faker with a meat bomb.

As the second largest city in the United States, Los Angeles is a bustling city with many tourist attractions. However, as they approached the finals, they had no intention of admiring it. They had to go back to continue training after rushing to shoot.

What is worth mentioning is the training match before the finals. From the group stage to the semi-finals, each team only needs to avoid the opponents in the same group/half region in the training match.

But now the eliminated RNG and ROX have left the United States by plane, leaving only SKT and YM, two teams participating in the finals, staying here.

There is no way to arrange a training match between the two final teams-this will expose their tactical intentions in advance.

They want to make an appointment with the teams in their respective countries, but they are far away from each other, and the exaggerated physical delay is enough to destroy their plans.

Forced to help, the two teams usually focus on qualifying practice, and occasionally find a few league teams in the North American division that have not yet had a holiday to play training games, and the right is to maintain the feeling.

During this period of time, Lin Ran secretly practiced black technology with his teammates, and the results were remarkable.

For a week, audiences in all divisions had no games to watch, and they discussed the upcoming finals on various forums.

Korean netizens are quite optimistic about this. In their opinion, SKT is like an invincible god, and it is impossible to lose the final.

After all, in the two years of S3S4, LPL ended in disastrous defeat against LCK. They have a natural sense of psychological superiority.

Domestic audiences are also generally pessimistic. SKT now has a 12-game winning streak that reproduces last year's brilliant dominant performance. The rational brother in the anti-two bars thinks that YM can at most win a victory like last year's runner-up KOO.

"As long as the final is not 0:3, I can accept it. YM has done its best to beat two LCK teams in a row."

"I think YM is going to be cool. In the last match against ROX, they didn't come up with any unique skills to suppress the bottom of the box until the fifth round. I guess they don't have any routine reserves. SKT has won consecutively all the way. I don't know how many big moves they have hidden."

"Pure passers-by, let's talk about it. Indeed, YM didn't have much to say this year, right? Before the S game, everyone was not optimistic about them. It's not bad to make it to the final."

"Just win one game. Don't let SKT win all the championships. They'll be sick to death. Unfortunately, I'm not in the United States. Otherwise, wouldn't it be safe to put laxatives in SKT's takeaway kimchi?"

"There is no suspense in betting on the team's victory or loss. Let's guess who will kill who in the middle. Ran has 14 solo kills in 13 games, and faker has 12 solo kills in 10 games."

When it comes to the mid-lane game, the pure passers-by buddies in the anti-stress bar began to bubble up. There are still more friends who guessed that the faker will win the matchup, but there are also many people who choose to believe in Lin Ran.

From his debut in LSPL to the S6 finals, Lin Ran's performance is obvious to all, and he has won over a lot of fans with his strength.

Public opinion continues to ferment, and the final day has arrived.

Chapter 174: The final begins, all parties pay attention

October 10th, Western time.

Everyone in YM got up early in the morning to recharge their batteries and took the bus to the final venue around noon.

Lin Ran wore earphones and looked at the Staples Center not far away through the glass window of the bus. The gray and white magnificent building was quietly located there, and the noon sun in Los Angeles was pouring down.

There were already many spectators waiting to enter the arena outside the venue. They saw the YM bus whistling excitedly, and many people waved cheering objects with the YM logo in their hands to cheer them on.

Along with cheers, Lin Ran and his teammates got off the car with their backpacks in their hands, and entered the venue first through the passage arranged by the staff.

"The top lane is stocking, the mid lane is fighting for lane control, and the jungle is invading. You have practiced countless times." In the spacious and bright team lounge, Hanyi looked around, "I want to emphasize the bottom lane."

"Jack and Xiao Ming, you two, don't push the line too deep without the support of your teammates. Try not to fight with your opponent. The exchange of blood is enough and you can't go up."

"This BO5, the two of you are the most stressed." Han Yi looked serious.

Jack and Xiao Ming nodded again and again.

In this version, the bottom lane advantage is quite critical, second only to Nakano in importance. Hanyi is forced to do this, because their bottom lane is really not as good as their opponents in terms of hard power.

Bang's strength has reached its peak this year. From laning to teamfights to decision-making throughout the game, from any level of professional ADC, Bang is perfect.

The average matchup economy is 2065, the average damage per point is 725, only 22.8% of the team's economy can hit 30.7% of the damage, and the damage conversion rate is 167%. Among these key data for measuring ADCs, Bang is among the best.

His current strength is comparable to Alpha Dog in the Go world, and he is simply a humanoid machine.

Seeing the nervousness on the faces of the bot laners, Hanyi eased her tone, "But don't be afraid, they still play the traditional Korean style of bot lane, and the pressure on the lane is not very exaggerated, and they prefer to develop steadily in the lane. Wait for teammates to support and hold together."

"As long as you don't expose too many flaws and get caught," Han Yi emphasized, "Today's focus in the early and mid-term is on Nakano."

The team of analysts repeated some key points of vision layout. It was only 03:30 in the afternoon, and there was still a little time before the opening of the finals.

Lin Ran flipped through his phone, and it was full of unread messages from his classmates and friends. He searched up and down twice, but he couldn't find the message from his father Lin Mingdong.

At this time, the official staff in the backstage notified the entrance, Lin Ran stuffed the phone back into the backpack, rolled up the peripherals with the mouse pad, and followed Xiaotian out of the lounge.

The Staples Center is a famous sports building in the Los Angeles area. It can accommodate 2 people. At this time, there are no empty seats. The black and red team flag symbolizing YM and the red flag representing SKT are flying in the air.

Overlooking the past from mid-air, the number of spectators supporting the defending champion SKT was significantly better.

The double champion SKT has accumulated a large number of diehard fans relying on its excellent performance in the past few years, coupled with a large number of pure passers-by with rational analysis, they believe that SKT will win their third championship trophy here today.

On the electronic screen above the central stage, the countdown to the opening of the final was displayed.

With the unified countdown sound of the audience, the entire arena was plunged into darkness.

Then the scene lights turned on instantly, and a huge Hextech treasure chest appeared in the center of the level, and then a key pierced into the treasure chest like a sharp sword!

All kinds of heroes represented by Spider Queen and Ice Shooter all appeared on the stage with the help of projection technology.

In the end, the DJ booth slowly rose, playing the theme song Ignite of this World Championship live.

Under the restless and rhythmic electronic sound, the promotional videos of the two teams in the final were played on the big screen above the stage, which was mixed with the highlight operations of the two teams in the World Championship.

Jin Gong's sword girl steals home from death, Xiaotian's ghostly spider queen, Lin Ran's pre-judged card master who flashed and single-killed Ximen's little murloc, JKL's soul harvester Draven, and Xiao Ming's use of fire when he played against Samsung. The lava hell of male casting...

After the promotional video was played, the venue fell into darkness again.

Suddenly, a ray of light hit the stage floor, and the light quickly spread to the surroundings. Then the lights came on, and the members of both teams lined up on both sides of the stage. In the center of the stage, there was the summoner trophy that countless professional players dreamed of!

The male host stood next to the summoner trophy and introduced the teams and members of both teams to the audience in English.

"First of all, let us welcome the No. 2016 seed from the LPL Division, the champion of the [-] LPL Summer Split, Young Miracles!"

The cheers and cheers at the Staples Center were majestic and powerful.

When it was time to introduce Lin Ran, the cheers on the scene went up to a new level!

In the month-long World Championships, Lin Ran's strength is unquestionable, absolutely at the top level in the world, and now the only one standing in front of him is the Demon King Faker!

"Next," the male host turned up the volume, "let us welcome the champion of the S3 and S5 global finals, the 2016 MSI champion, SK Telecom T1 with warm applause!"

When Faker was introduced, the shouts in the venue reached their peak in an instant, almost breaking through the dome!

Lee Sang Hyuk was expressionless, put his hands in his pockets and began to pretend to be cool.

For him who entered the S competition three times, the final stage of the global finals is not a rare thing.

The teammates changed one after another, but only him, Stupid Chicken and coach kkoma were still standing on the stage.

He came to S6 with only one goal, and that was to win his third Summoner Trophy!

In S3 three years ago, Faker was also at the Staples Center, and together with his teammates won the first World Championship trophy in team history.
