What is a wandering mid laner?

VG relegation failed!

The five members of the DAN team hugged each other tightly and let out an inspiring cry.

Stupid Chicken listened to the burst of cheers from his opponents, and looked up at the ceiling of the arena, where the spotlights were flickering, focusing on the five DAN players.

Since he left SKT, how long has it been since he enjoyed such cheers and spotlight?

This is obviously the path he chose, but when it comes to relegation, Stupid Chicken is still sad and unwilling.

Suddenly there were a few whimpers beside him.

Stupid Chicken suddenly remembered Faker's sobbing after the S6 finals, and subconsciously turned his head sideways.

It is the top laner Loong.

Heroes such as Shen and Poppy are often used on the field, giving the impression that loong is as stable as a mountain. He often does not change his face in the face of strong enemies, and is a strong support point for the team.

But now that he lost the game and was about to be relegated, he finally couldn't control himself and burst out all the negative emotions in his heart.

He first came into contact with the professional league in S2. From a barber to a professional player, loong has been chasing this road for 5 years.

He had gone through a relegation match in the UP team before, and then came to VG as the upper unit.

At this time, loong has reached the peak of his personal ability, and then partnered with the former SKT champion Nakano, he thought it would be a wonderful journey.

Even if you can't make it to the World Championship, it's still no problem to play in the playoffs, right?

But he did not expect the reality to be so cruel. At the age of 22, he is about to become an older LSPL top laner.

Loong was disappointed and frustrated. He felt that he had stumbled and spent 5 years just standing still, with no progress in his grades.

In competitive sports, people like him should be called losers, or in other words, frustrated people.

(loong performed very well in the 2017 spring split, but he still couldn't get rid of the fate of relegation. He wasted his last peak period in the secondary league. See the data in the picture.)

……

After VG and NB had no choice but to bid farewell to the LPL stage, the curtain of the playoffs slowly opened.

Eight into six in the first round, with IM playing against IG and QG playing against EDG.

IG's upper middle almost cut through IM, and now TheShy is showing his sharpness, and the opponent's top laner AJ will be beaten stupid.

He looked at Master Rambo who was riding on his face, and recalled the magnificent Ma Run in S5, which was a pain that AJ would never erase in his heart.

Three to one, IG advanced to the top six in the spring split.

EDG on the other side swept QG three to zero.

The above performance was broken in the six-in-four game.

IG and OMG fought fiercely for five rounds. In the final round, the broiler clockwork stood up. [Command: Shock Wave] in the shadow of Longkeng pulled the three of OMG, and the sudden burst of damage directly ended the round!

OMG's ADC Sima, the old thief, failed to cross this step in the end.

Like VG's loong, Sima is also a frustrated man. He has never made it to the LPL semi-finals so far, and the nicknames hanging on his head are "Facially Paralyzed AD" and "Emperor of the Relegation Match".

No matter how strong the emperor is, he is still in the relegation match.

On the other side is EDG against WE.

A very interesting game.

The grievances and hatred between the two teams began with a "death, let's go tonight".

WE fans 60E and Piggy are even more sworn enemies.

In the past few years, WE's performance was not good, and fans did not dare to jump too much.

But no one expected that last year's S6 Guijiaoqiyi kicked the two sides into a two-level reversal.

With the strong rise of the Red Legion WE2.0 this spring, 60E finally dared to speak up. Before the game started, public opinion on the Internet was already brewing.

[EDG, look at my E treasure and you're done! 】

[Oh, WE fans can also dance?Are you exhausted after holding back for two years? 】

[That's not true, when you Guodian Top 8 were beaten into stupid dogs by the Tigers, we already started a team!After all, trash Mingkai, as soon as my teammate is 4, I will be 3, and 9 is like this 6! 】

[Hee hee, our top 8 in the lifetime world championship is also better than WE, a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp who can't even enter the world championship. 】

EDG's title of Guodian comes from the IEM game in February this year. At that time, EDG temporarily withdrew from the game, claiming that there was a problem with the Polish visa, and angry fans smashed the Polish embassy.

The Polish official who was rushed came out and said that EDG did not submit sufficient materials and could not apply for a visa. The Shanghai official also came forward and said that the relevant materials could be processed in 5-7 days, and the time was completely in time.

Comparing the two sides' arguments, netizens found that EDG didn't want to go to Poland to participate in the competition at all, and they backlashed against EDG's official blog again.

EDG boss Ed Zhu posted angrily on Weibo, "Are the trolls trying to ruin Chinese e-sports?"

Such funny remarks have become an eternal classic in the history of LOL e-sports, and Guodian has also become the new title of EDG after its blitz in Poland.

Teng Jing did not expect that the momentum created by this six-entry four-elimination match would directly top Weibo's trending searches. Naturally, Bai Qia's popularity could not be in vain. Teng Jing quickly paid for the trending searches, raising the popularity of the game to another level. .

Although the factory manager played in the last four rounds of the regular season and helped the team win 3 wins, he still didn't get a chance to play in this BO5.

The gap in team strength is too great, EDG's problem is not an AD at all... the jungler can solve it.

Even if the factory manager comes to the field to deal with the command problem, the personal ability and teamwork ability of top lane and ADC are far from that of WE.

Simply not on.

Although EDG was swept out by WE at 0:3, the fans of EDG, who are known as starch, made a fuss about the absence of the factory manager.

For a while, remarks such as "the factory manager does not count as a loss" were rampant.

Facts have proved that Ah Q's spiritual victory method works everywhere.

As long as you feel like you haven't lost, you haven't lost.

After this focused matchup, the places for the semi-finals of this year's spring split were officially determined, with RNG playing against WE and YM playing against IG.

Lin Ran and the others found time in the base to watch the semifinal match between RNG and WE.

In the first game, WE controlled Dalong in the mid-term with the momentum of crushing. RNG, who was in a disadvantageous game, had no resistance against an operation team like WE, and was flattened by WE.

In the second game, RNG gave Letme Qinggangying, and 957 chose to use Shen as the laning counter.

RNG took advantage of Uzi's strength to get a big advantage in the mid-term, and Xiaohu's Ike also got a lot of kills, leading Xiye by nearly [-] in the matchup economy.

Lin Ran originally thought that RNG would win the game smoothly.

But he didn't expect RNG's wave of irrational tower jumping directly ruined all advantages!

Letme's single belt in the bottom lane pushed the pawn line under the 957 tower.

Then Xiaohu's Ike used the cover of the line of sight to move forward all the way, trying to cooperate with Letme to kill 957's Shen in the WE bot lane.

"Do the top two in RNG really want to jump over the tower and kill? Isn't this damage enough?" Miller looked at the movement of RNG top and middle, inevitably worried.

As the commentary said, RNG underestimated 957 Shen's frankness, and Tiger Ike's E [Phase Dive] made a mistake and hit the tower. In the end, 957 just 1V2 under the tower and killed Qinggangying!

Xiaohu was also taken away by the WE crowd who rushed over!The situation is reversed instantly!

(Famous scene, intercepted from the second round of the 2017lpl spring finals)

"This Ike's damage is too low!" Liu Qingsong in the base shouted, "RNG dare to jump the tower?"

"What kind of equipment does Xiaohu have?" Lin Ran spread his hands, "How can he play games with such an advantage?"

Xiaohu's habitual steady build since last year finally exposed its drawbacks.

Push stick + Zhongya + Yaoguang, Xiaohu's big advantage of 25/4/0 in 1 minutes is out of this equipment.

If his second item is Lich's Bane instead of Zhongya's Hourglass, the E [Phase Dive] is not empty, and 957's Shen will definitely die.

"Isn't this too steady?" Xiaotian couldn't help but feel weird, "The opposite middle assistant Karma + Lulu, Xiaohu is going to play Zhongya? If they don't give the output to Uzi, it's hard to beat him, Ike ?”

Lin Ran also felt that it was outrageous, Xiaohu's thinking has gone wrong now.

This kind of 4/0 Tianhu Aike can make up Zhongya for the second time, and Lin Rantianhu Luxian also made up for Lanshield.

But it depends on the lineup.

Lin Ran played the blue shield at that time because his teammates had no shortage of output, and he could win by going up and hitting the armor-piercing effect of the black cut.

What about RNG?

Xiao Ming chose Bron, and Mala Xiangguo took Cui Shen.

Nosuke has almost no output, Letme is still a green steel shadow with average development, Xiaohu has such a big advantage, can the second one be out of Zhongya?

Lin Ran didn't know what to say.

After losing the second game, Uzi's face was really bad.

In the last game, RNG, whose mentality was almost collapsed, still gained an advantage in the early stage, but was once again held back by WE in the late stage, struggling to make a comeback.

Before the game, Lin Ran thought that WE would win the game, but he didn't expect the score to be so disparate.

"3:0! Two BO5s, two 3:0!" Miller shouted loudly on the commentary stage, "WE has proved their strength, and locked a place in the final ahead of schedule!"

"WE's dominance this spring can be seen, even RNG can't win a victory from them!"

Uzi slumped in a chair in a daze.

Before the game, he thought that he might aspire to win the Silver Dragon Cup this year, but he didn't expect that WE only used a BO5 to make him realize the reality.

Uzi sighed heavily, rubbed his tired and sore palms, and turned and left the stage helplessly.

There has been no championship in 5 years, and the strange curse is still lingering on Uzi.

Although he, loong, and old thief Sima had different grades, their state of mind was exactly the same.

In competitive sports, there is only one winner. Some people achieve their dreams on the field, while others leave the field in frustration.

They are all melancholy guests, no limit to frustrated people.

……

After watching the semi-finals, Bai Yueyue's face was serious.

"WE is more difficult than we imagined," he looked at his players, "their operational strength is still improving."

"And they didn't fall behind too much in the early and mid-term, and the stop loss time point was between 20 minutes and 25 minutes." Lin Ran took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

"It's still a version issue." Su Cheng was still spinning the pen, "We now only need to support Mystic's Big Mouth, Ice, and Verus to make a hurricane, and then we can try to take over the group head-on."

"This is equivalent to letting their team battle lineup that can only be used in three-piece suits come out ahead of schedule."

The reason is the same as RNG Uzi's previous thinking.

It's just that Uzi wants to form equipment and plans to start a team in the mid-term, and control the dragon to end the game.

WE, on the other hand, needs the ADC to be formed and equipped, use the team battle lineup to continue to drag back, wait until the advantage is large enough, or use the vision operation to find the enemy's breakthrough and start a team to win the game.

White Crescent nodded, "If we want to win WE, it's unrealistic to delay the late stage. The most secure way to win is to crush the early stages."

"So everyone has to make the economy bigger in the early stage, otherwise, when the WE lineup takes shape and exerts its strength, we may be overthrown by them like RNG."

There is nothing wrong with what White Crescent said.

RNG was overturned in the last two games. One was because some players made mistakes in the mid-term, and the other was because the advantages gained in the early stage were not big enough, and they could often be sent back in one wave.

Then WE made use of mid-to-late lane switching operation and single-band involvement to control neutral resources, thus winning the game.

"But don't worry, we still have an advantage in personal strength, and WE is still relatively passive in the early stage." Su Cheng comforted.

Lin Ran and others also know that Kandi is trying to drive the team's early rhythm, but the effect is not obvious.

Because WE is accustomed to using a lineup that is powerful in the middle and late stages, it does not have an advantage in combat power in the early stage.

However, the team's laning strength has not yet reached the level where inferior heroes can not lose in laning, and it is difficult for the jungler to make a breakthrough when the online hero does not gain an advantage.

After seeing the strength of WE, YM devoted himself to intensive targeted training.

White Crescent has been studying WE for a long time, treating it as an imaginary opponent in the finals, and is quite well prepared.

As for tomorrow's semi-final opponent IG?

White Crescent didn't prepare many tactics at all, and planned to follow the usual routine.

In the past six months, he has a certain understanding of IG.

This team doesn't have many tactics, generally speaking, there is only one - the jungle protects the top and mid, and the bottom lane is hard.

YM is now much better than IG in terms of personal strength and running-in degree, and White Crescent is not worried at all.

As he expected, Jack stood up when facing IG's bot lane.
