What is a wandering mid laner?

"He withdrew the emoji, did you save it?" Su Cheng, who was leaning on the sofa, asked Lin Ran beside him.

Lin Ran categorically denied, "No, my hand speed is very slow."

Su Cheng glanced at him suspiciously.

There was a laptop on the coffee table in front of them, and the two planned to watch the live broadcast of the lottery ceremony.

"The lottery draw this time is so exciting, isn't it too messy to choose an opponent for the other party?" Lin Ran changed the subject, "I can imagine how these old Yinbi managers are plotting against each other in the background..."

Host Ren Dong came on stage, introduced the grouping rules to the audience in a short warm-up session, and the lottery began immediately!

The lottery seed pool is divided into the following four groups: champion and runner-up (YM, WE), 3-6 (RNG, IG, EDG, OMG), 7-10 (Snakes, JD.com, IM, LGD who acquired QG), two Newly promoted (SNG, TOP).

The spring champion YM is assigned to Group A by default, and they will first choose opponents for WE in Group B.

This opponent had to be selected from the No. [-] seed pool. Guo Hao, in a suit and leather shoes, came to the stage with his hair combed back, and decided to appoint RNG without hesitation.

The third runner-up RNG is the strongest team under the champion and runner-up, so Guo Hao will naturally not keep it in his group.

And WE was not to be outdone, and drew the top runner-up IG, which is famous for its talent and card draw, to YM.

"This is exactly as I expected," Lin Ran pulled Su Cheng into his arms, "The key is the draw for the third and fourth picks."

"How do I feel that EDG will come to us..."

Before Su Cheng finished speaking, the higher-ranked RNG in the second round appointed EDG.

In fact, EDG's ranking in the spring split is not high, and it is worse than OMG's record.

However, the current version of the mid-season game has been updated, and the coaching staff of all major teams know that the herbivorous meat tank jungler will return to the stage.

The factory manager of the carnivorous jungle version was not used to it, and was kicked by various junglers.

But when it comes to herbivorous control maps and civil wars, Guijiaoqi has never been in vain!

Everyone in the circle is sure that the factory manager will sit firmly in the starting lineup and rule the wild area again.

In this case, EDG is definitely considered a strong team in China.

IG manager Su Xiaoluo looked worried when he saw that EDG was assigned to him.

He can only assign OMG to Group B.

The draw for the third seed pool was also very quick.

So far, the top ten teams have been divided into groups. JD.com and LGD have joined YM in Group A, and IM and Snakes have joined Group B.

JD.com, like Suning, joined the e-sports industry and wanted to advertise for its own business.

They directly bought the QG team that doinb is in.

The boss of QG is happy. Counting the old Rainbow QG team that was sold to NB before, he has already entered and exited the LPL twice, and he has made a lot of money.

Different from TOP's cover purchase, which only needs the golden left hand, JD.com buys all players and keeps all players.

There are still two newly promoted horses that have not been drawn, and the manager of LGD, who was ranked lower in the spring split, took the lead in designating the last spot for Group B.

"TOP!" Ren Dong shouted out the name of the club.

The remaining SNGs were automatically assigned to Group A.

At this point, the lottery results of the 2017 LPL Summer Split were born.

Group A: YM, IG, EDG, JDG (Jingdong), LGD, SNG

Group B: WE, RNG, OMG, IM, Snake, TOP

"Alas..." Lin Ran sighed, "I thought I could play the gold left hand twice in the summer competition, but I didn't expect to be assigned to another group."

He felt a little pity.

Su Cheng is already asking Guo Hao about the specific schedule of the summer competition, and she, a data analyst, needs to prepare early.

With the end of the lottery, Lin Ran's vacation will also come to an end.

He had to leave Wujiao Field and return to the base to join his teammates to start high-intensity training again.

After the filming of the promotional video is over, the summer season is finally here!

Chapter 265: The opening match!

Afternoon on June 6.

"Team uniforms, mouse pads..." Guo Hao stood in the middle of the training room and reminded the team members to check their backpacks, "Jack, fasten your shoelaces tightly, and you will accidentally fall when you go out like this."

This is the first day of the summer competition, and Guo Hao is in the same mood as the parents who watch their children walk into the school every year at the beginning of the school day.

He supervised and checked the essential items of each player, and then talked about the old-fashioned precautions.

"We're not newcomers to the LPL, so we understand these rules." Lin Ran laughed.

Having said that, Guo Hao still took the trouble and helped them settle everything before leading the team out of the base.

Sitting in a car sponsored by BMW, White Crescent pursed her lips and flipped through the documents.

Su Cheng sent him a [-]-word version analysis report a few days ago. White Crescent's task is to find the version answer from it, and then match it with the characteristics of each player and the overall style of the team.

Although the analysis report provided by the analysis team was very detailed, he still felt guilty.

The version has changed too much.

After the vacation, the training record has fluctuated in the past few days, and the overall winning rate has even dropped to [-]%.

Although the training matches against YM are all strong teams at the level of SSG, SKT, KT, RNG, and WE, the [-]% winning rate is still low for YM.

You must know that during the period from the Spring Split to the Mid-Season Split, their training match winning rate was close to 85%. Except for SKT that could pose a threat to them, other teams were no match for YM at all.

As Lin Ran said before, the problem lies in the Canyon Herald.

Originally, this was just a big guy who could give heroes combat buffs, but unexpectedly turned into a tower-pushing artifact.

Now YM has to make a trade-off between the four-pack two and the canyon pioneer.

Operation teams like SKT and Samsung are about to rise again—these teams don’t have to devote all their energy to defending YM’s possible four-pack two.

If the bottom lane is besieged to jump over the tower, the jungler will exchange the canyon vanguard, and then directly summon it to push the middle tower.

At this time, Lin Ran will be quite passive - YM will get the first blood tower, but the second tower will also be pushed down.

You must know that his roaming support is based on the fact that the middle tower cannot be dismantled. The middle tower is used as the early team's vision and the defensive gate of the wild area. Once it is pushed down, the consequences will be quite serious.

If they don't use four packs and two packs, their ability to snowball and destroy towers in the early stage will be reduced by a level-because the ADC Jack, who is the main force of tower pushing, cannot develop.

Really stable development dragged to the later stage, YM is not the opponent of Samsung and SKT, the old management team.

This is a contradiction.

White Crescent has not figured out how to solve it so far.

The convoy slowly drove into Zhengda Plaza, and the cameraman Yicun was already ready and ran over holding the SLR camera hanging on his chest.

Everyone in YM got out of the car and greeted him.

They have gone abroad for several competitions this year, and they are quite familiar with this official cameraman.

At Yicun's request, Lin Ran gave a thumbs up gesture.

They arrived at the venue much earlier than the audience. After putting on their makeup, they sat in the lounge and waited for the white crescent to emphasize the tactical arrangement.

"Today's game..." Bai Yueya frowned, stood in the center of the lounge and looked at the players sitting around, "Lin Ran, you should use the core output in the late stage, don't force yourself to play four packs and two."

White Crescent glanced at everyone, "Of course, if the opportunity is good, you should grab it."

Lin Ran nodded to show that he understood.

"Jin Gong, please pay attention to the layout of the defensive eye position in the wild area in the early stage..." White Crescent continued in a deep voice.

The end of the meeting is approaching, and the players have a short time for free activities.

As long as Lin Weixiang is there, there will be no silence in the lounge.

Wearing sunglasses, Lin Weixiang looks like a weighted version of Wu Yifan. He is wearing earphones to watch the video of earthy hornworms, shaking his head and making two excited pig calls from time to time.

Liu Qingsong next to him looked disgusted, wishing he could slap Lin Weixiang on the ground.

At [-]:[-], under the instructions of the on-site staff, Lin Ran went to the back of the stage to wait for the opening ceremony.

Player representatives from twelve teams gathered together, Uzi and Guijiaoqi got together to whisper, and Broiler and Doinb, two fake Koreans, were communicating in Mandarin with the smell of mutton skewers...

Even the newly promoted Suning's top laner Wolf Walk has found Wang Zai Xiye as a chat partner.

Knight was left alone in the corner picking his fingers, looking lonely and cold.

When he saw Lin Ran coming, his eyes lit up.

It was like seeing a savior.

Knight waved vigorously and grinned.

Lin Ran first chatted with a few contestants who came over to say hello to him, and then sat down beside Huang Jin's left hand.

"No one chats with you? Let me introduce you?"

Thanks to his excellent emotional intelligence, excellent performance and honors, and popularity, Lin Ran is very popular in the LPL circle.

If there is his introduction, those LPL stars will definitely accept the golden left hand as a part of them.

Knight quickly waved his hand, his voice still vague, "No... I don't know what to talk to other people."

Seeing that he disagreed, Lin Ran nodded and stopped pressing, and asked instead: "Are you adapting well in the new team?"

"Everyone is very enthusiastic," Zuo Shou smiled shyly, "They all take good care of me."

Lin Ran felt relieved.

As far as the character of the golden left hand is concerned, if he directly enters the society instead of playing e-sports, he will definitely suffer a lot from a severe beating.

It was five o'clock, and twelve team representatives lined up on the stage under the guidance of the staff.

Every time Ren Dong pronounced the name of a team, the representative players would appear on the stage to greet the cheers of the audience.

The one on the left was called out, and Lin Ran sat there silently waiting.

In fact, Knight's popularity is not low now.

The mid laner of the YM series has brought him a lot of traffic, coupled with his performance in the secondary league crushing other opponents, many viewers who support YM regard him as Lin Ran's successor.

With YM leading the opening game today, there will naturally be many YM fans sitting off the court. They did not hesitate to give their applause to welcome this future star of the LPL.

The cheers on the scene reached their peak when the factory manager and Uzi took the stage. Both of them are considered to be the cards since the establishment of LPL, and the audience gave them full respect.

After the factory manager left, Lin Ran was the only one left in the room.

"The room isn't working," Lin Ran said to the staff when he came to the stage, "The temperature of the air conditioner is too high."

……

Ren Dong waved his hand violently, dragged his tone, and shouted loudly in a cadenced voice: "Finally, let us welcome the player representative of the YM team——Ran!"

The auditorium was already boiling. Lin Ran stepped onto the stage and looked around. The audience was full of his supporters. Fans held light signs and support banners in their hands, and shouted non-stop.

If Uzi and Guijiaoqi are the flickering flames in the dark age of LPL, Lin Ran is the dawn light that tears through the darkness and brings hope to LPL!

Bobby standing in the background, like the audience, applauded and celebrated Lin Ran's appearance.

No matter in terms of honor or personal image, Lin Ran is the iconic figure of LPL that he wants to create.

Bobby never minded using media resources to promote e-sports stars higher.

According to the public opinion on the forum, this is called making gods.

It's actually pretty normal in the esports circle.

With so many multimedia resources in hand, if you don't praise a person like Lin Ran who has achievements, strength and positive image, is it possible to praise players who have no achievements and no strength?

It's not realistic to think about.

For example, the marketing account must be more eager to catch the popularity of Uzi, rather than to catch the popularity of players in the lower reaches of the LPL such as Yuhuang Dinghuangxuanpi.

Besides, people like Lin Ran and Li Sang Hyuk are not god-making in the true sense, at most they use resources to build up their already stable god positions even higher.

According to the requirements of the on-site director during the rehearsal, Lin Ran stood in the center of the stage, and YM's group makeup photos flashed on the big screen behind.

In the photo, Lin Ran occupies the center position. Xiaotian and Jin Gong stand on both sides of Lin Ran with their arms folded. Jack, the prophet, Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong stand opposite each other at the end of the photo.

Everyone looked stern. Lin Ranping stretched out his right arm in the fixed-makeup photo. The forearm exposed outside the team uniform was well-proportioned and the muscles were slightly prominent; the four fingers except the thumb were close together and upwards. With the slightly raised chin, it looked like The king above is waiting for the challenger below to appear.
