What is a wandering mid laner?

"If you have something, you have to say it now..." The fans took the team uniform, brewed their emotions, and said in a deep voice: "We will see you in Beijing in two months, and the Bird's Nest is waiting for you."

"See you in Beijing." Lin Ran nodded in response, even seeing his girlfriend abandoning him and running to take a photo with Liu Qingsong did not erase the emotion in his heart at all.

A quarter of an hour later, under the leadership of WECEO Xiaoshou, the buses of the three teams drove out of Wukesong Stadium and headed for the dinner party.

By the time they ate and drank enough to leave the copper pot shabu-shabu restaurant, it was already early in the morning.

The three teams will rest in Beijing for one night, and return to their respective home clubs in Shanghai the next day.

Although the players and the coaching staff put in a lot of energy preparing for the playoffs, Lin Ran and the others had no time to rest.

In order not to disturb the normal training of the summer competition, Guo Hao postponed the sponsor activities as much as possible until after the end of the season. Now that he has won the summer competition, commercial activities follow one after another, and there is no room for YM players to stop.

Meetings, advertising videos, magazine cover shooting, Tengjing documentary recording...

As a very popular member of the team, Jack sometimes returns to the base early in the morning after the trip, and he can fall asleep with his head covered with a pillow, and then get up early in the morning to go for a run.

And Lin Ran, who is more famous and honored than Jack, is even more so.

Such an intensive itinerary is not only unbearable for the players, but even for the fans.

After the bubbling match, the current e-sports forum is most concerned about the status of the S7 team in the three-expense match. The itinerary of the YM players was picked up, which caused an uproar in the forum.

[Good guy, you don’t train every day and go to activities, do you really think of yourself as an entertainment star? 】

[From September 9th to September 4th for a full 9 days, the five YM starters together played 10 rounds of Hanbok Rank. On average, one person ranked less than two times a day. Distillation, with this attitude, I still want to win the championship ?See you at the Bird's Nest?I don't know if I can break out of the Wuhan group stage! 】

[What about the other two teams? 】

[RNG is not much better, the team ranks no more than 5 games a day, and Uzi's points have dropped to drill one]

[From this point of view, WE is still good. Poor has the advantage of being poor. They don’t have many advertisers. Most of the time they train normally. It is estimated that the results of this World Championship will be good.]

[The players are not allowed to rest for two days after the summer split? 】

[It would be fine if you take a normal rest. Shooting advertisements and doing activities every day is also called rest? 】

The public opinion on the Internet was overwhelming, and the comments under the advertiser's Weibo posted by the YM club were all urging the players to train.

In fact, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Before the focus match against WE this spring, YM was criticized by fans for continuously filming sponsor advertisements.

At that time, the tempo was quickly suppressed. First, because YM swept WE and proved his state with his record; second, because no matter how serious it was at the time, it was only an internal competition of LPL, and the attention was limited.

But now the threshold for such a public opinion shock is at the beginning of September, one month before the World Championship, and this time YM has no way to prove that his state has not declined immediately in the competition.

The audience is very concerned about the World Championship held in China this time. They all want to see the LPL team win the Summoner Trophy at home.

And last year, YM, who won the championship three times against the powerful LCK, naturally had high hopes for them. Many people paid close attention to the club and player dynamics all the time. is the center of attention.

The combination of various factors has led to unprecedented pressure on public opinion this time.

Lin Ran had just returned to the base after finishing the filming of the BMW commercial. Before he had time to wash up, he started the live broadcast under Guo Hao's instruction.

The number of viewers exploded, and the popularity of the live broadcast surpassed the former boss PDD within 5 minutes of broadcasting, and jumped to the top of the Dousha platform.

He adjusted the camera slightly, then glanced at the barrage to answer the controversies of recent days.

"Are you tired these two days?" Lin Ran glanced at the barrage and smiled, "Stop asking such questions? Look at my dark circles..."

He is close to the camera so that the audience can see the details of his cheeks, and the dark circles around his eyes seem to be a bit of an evolution towards Kandi.

The barrage was noisy, some insulted the club's operations, and some thought it was understandable for players to accept advertisements.

Lin Ran watched the rhythm of the barrage flying across the sky, and then he said in his mind, "I think it's a double-edged sword for e-sports players to accept activities according to the club's arrangement."

"I can understand your thoughts, and even my thoughts at the beginning were similar to yours. Every event and filming will definitely affect the competitive state of e-sports players, there is no doubt about it." He flicked his mouse and clicked on the Hanbok client waiting for update.

"But think about this issue from the perspective of the club..." Before Lin Ran finished speaking, Su Cheng handed over a plate containing steamed buns and fried rice, as well as a plate of vinegar from outside the camera.

Lin Ran, who didn't eat dinner, was hungry, thanked him, took the food and continued, "I'll give you a rough calculation. A club like YM that only deals with League of Legends needs to provide the salaries of dozens of employees, plus players and For land rent expenses, the annual expenditure will be 5000 million yuan, and it is normal to approach [-] million yuan."

"It doesn't look like a lot, but everyone should know that although the e-sports industry has a lot of traffic, its liquidity is too poor," he picked up raw fried rice dipped in vinegar and put it into his mouth with chopsticks, and then opened his mouth after swallowing the food in his mouth. "If you rely solely on the players' peripherals produced and sold by the club and the fixed allowances issued by the league, it's not bad that you can recover two or three achievements after spending [-] million yuan."

When the phone rang, Lin Ran took a look and found that it was a message from Zhuo Ding, claiming that he had prepared a surprise tomorrow.

Lin Ran returned three periods as ellipses.

"If you want to recover the losses as much as possible, you have to make a profit from the endorsement. This is also good for the club. The investors can reap traffic and advertising effects..." Lin Ran explained to the audience what he could say, "These contents When the players sign the contract, there are roughly stipulations, and we know it well.”

After he explained to a small group of audience why the club accepted the advertisement, he continued the topic.

"I know that most viewers are not unacceptable to commercial shooting, but feel that there are too many and too dense."

Lin Ran paused for a moment, and cleaned up the fried rice on the plate, "Actually, the content of the event was not as much as expected. During the summer season, our club didn't accept any commercial endorsements, and we compressed them into this week. Brother Hao has already Respond to advertisements as little as possible, and you don’t need to private message Weibo to scold him..."

"There are not many shooting activities, but we have been busy for a week, mainly because the work efficiency is relatively low," Lin Ran opened the skylight for the steamed buns on the plate, and he did not blame the sponsor's sponsor's filming party. , "The main reason is that the contestants have not undergone systematic shooting training before, and the results of one or two shootings do not meet the requirements, so they can only be delayed for a long time."

This time, neither the management of YM headed by Guo Hao nor the main financial sponsors are offended, and the audience can understand that e-sports players are not real stars in the entertainment industry, so it is normal that the speed of commercial shooting is slow.

"We must go to the Bird's Nest," Lin Ran finally said, "We will fly to Wuhan tomorrow to prepare for the training camp, and there will be no time for live broadcasting, so please watch and cherish it."

The voices of star players are still effective, and the barrage rhythm that was full of hostility before was instantly emptied.

The Hanbok has been updated, Lin Ran has started the solo queue mode and is waiting to match his opponents, the questions raised by the barrage are all kinds of strange.

"Can a 19-year-old canyon master play professionally with 100 points..." He was thinking about how to answer this question while repeating the barrage question.

Jack, who was sitting beside him, didn't feel sleepy when he heard the score, "A 19-year-old master with 100 points? My brother advises you, quit as soon as possible and do something else."

"I think back then we all had to be people with thousands of points in the size of the national server to make a living." Jack answered the question was false, and he wanted to show off, "I remember it was the end of S5 and the S6 season. At the beginning, the gold content of the king of the national uniform was much stronger than it is now..."

"Dopa, Brother Ran, I remember there are officials, white cards, and white windmills. Shi Senming and Gao Zhenning are also in the top ten. Back then, it was called a pack of heroes..." At this point, Jack had to tell them about S6 The glorious story of the king of the national uniform.

He moved the pulleys of the e-sports chair, his posture resembled a wheelchair pushed by a steady stick, and he squeezed to Lin Ran's side to look at the barrage, "Oh yes, there is Xuan Go... Dazzling God!"

Jack was still talking about the gold content of the king of the S6 national server, and Lin Ran simply wasted time by the side without saying a word.

Tonight's Hanbok ranking time was extremely long, and Lin Ran understood the reason after thinking about it for a while.

Most of the Hanbok king games are composed of professional players from LPL and LCK. China and South Korea have entered the offseason. After a year of high pressure and busyness, most ordinary players choose to rest, and they rarely play in qualifying matches; while participating in S7 The three LCK and three LPL teams will all arrive in Wuhan tomorrow, and many players decided to rest and relax tonight.

As a result, Lin Ran couldn't even line up anyone now.

It's not good for him to sit there all the time and use the queuing time to mix up the duration of the live broadcast. Lin Ran prides himself on being very conscientious, and doing the live broadcast is right for the audience.

"You all have accounts in the first district, right?" He found another way, "Let's have a water friend to compete."

"Type the ID of the first area on the public screen, and I will randomly pull people..." Lin Ran boarded the large account of the first area that he hadn't used for a long time, and began to copy and paste the bullet screen.

After the gimmick of the Water Friends Competition came out, the audience in the live broadcast room immediately became excited. They were elated and thought that they had won the opportunity to compete with Lin Ran on the same stage.

But what they never expected was that Lin Ran pulled ten water friends in at one go, while he sat in the spectator seats.

"Are you ready? Well, deduct 1 and I'll start the game," Lin Ran said solemnly, "If you have a coach, just type BP."

There was a barrage question: [We are playing a game, so what are you doing? 】

"I'm... no, I'll explain it to you." Lin Ran said naturally.

【? ? ? 】

[Open up a new routine of mixed live broadcast duration? 】

[Don't do it, we'll be caught by another professional player later, we still have a live broadcast to watch? 】

[Not bad Brotherhood, when Dou Sha and Li Fawang were sleeping live, that was really a long time. Now at least he can interact with the barrage. 】

The water friends competition officially started, Lin Ran pretended to cough twice and adjusted his tone to prepare for the commentary.

……

"This player called 'jzh Yasuo 0 bars 10 fuck me', Uzi Yasuo is not good, and you Yasuo are not good either?" Lin Ran shouted, the Yasuo EQ on the screen failed, and the flash hit On the opponent's face, he was killed by the blind monk QRQ combo with 200 HP.

[Hahaha I'm full and I want to cook three more bowls of rice! 】

[What a genius, Yasuo is about the same level as Lin Ran, right? 】

【I didn't expect Yasuo to say that Jane is proud】

"'Qingwo Steel Gate will be on the shadow', as expected from the ID, Camille is a proficient player, and he is extremely skilled in operation. He decided to fight two and single out the opponent's bottom duo!" Lin Ran gave them a hand when he saw the wonderful operation. Cheering and cheering, last year's World Championship theme song "Ignite" was played, and the exciting electronic sound echoed in the live broadcast room.

"Qinggangying uses the slowing effect of W [Tactical Sweep] to pull the opponent, and AQ uses three-phase acceleration to pull into the grass to avoid sight..."

After a while, Lin Ran stood up.

"Qinggangying's perfect E flash and E kick stuns two people, and A picks up and uses real damage to kill the mouse in seconds. Luo who was kicked unconscious can't even hand in his ultimate move!"

【What a handsome Camille! 】

[Hey, is it on fire? 】

[Isn't this more burning than the blogger who just went online? 】

"Qinggangying teleports to the upper half. To lead his teammates to accept this crucial dragon, the blue side widens the economic gap to 1W, and the red side has Luo, but there is no clockwork!"

From God's perspective, a team battle broke out between the red and blue sides in the middle. Qing Gangying stood up again, cut into the single-second mouse sideways, and then followed his teammates to successfully kill opponents one by one.

"No more, no more miracles!" Lin Ran raised his arms and shouted, "The red side's master crystal was flattened, and the blue side won the championship!"

……

On the morning of May 9st.

"I put your ID card in the wallet, remember to take it out when you get to the airport." Su Cheng helped Lin Ran zip up the suitcase, "I put the wristband in the smallest pocket, if you practice too much You remember to put it on."

"I wrapped the slippers in a paper bag and put them on the top floor. You can see them as soon as you open the suitcase," the girl scratched at her phone, "I have sent you all other precautions."

"Drink less ice water and eat less ice cream at night, the weather has turned cold recently; if you leave the hotel, put on an extra sweater..." Su Cheng warned.

Lin Ran carried the suitcase in one hand, and walked downstairs to the club with his girlfriend in the other.

Su Cheng will not be able to arrive in Wuhan until the evening of September 9th. After the National Day holiday, she can just ask for personal leave until the quarter-finals on October 30nd.

Then she can fly back to Shanghai and wait for the semi-finals to start there. Finally, the finals held in the Bird's Nest on November 11 just happen to be a weekend, which will not hinder her.

Of course, this is an ideal state. If YM fails to enter the bird's nest, there is no need for Su Cheng to ask for leave.

"College life is really good," Lin Ran sighed, "You can spare a month's vacation inside and out."

Su Cheng heard that this person was connoting himself, and pinched Lin Ran when his ears were slightly drunk.

"The sophomore year has just started, and the course pressure is not so intense, so I can keep up with the progress if I ask for leave." Su Cheng defended.

The two arrived relatively early. When Jack went downstairs, he met Su Cheng and was beaten up by her with a military fist that she hadn't forgotten, in order to avenge the roast duck after the summer finals.

"Leave Chengzi, see you in Wuhan!" The BMW cars full of YM Club members drove out of the base one by one.

"See you in Wuhan!" Su Cheng waved her white and slender arms to bid them farewell.

Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

The three representative teams for S7 successfully assembled and joined forces. Besides, there were two other mysterious teams.

"Sure, are you all here?" Lin Ran went up and punched King Ning lightly.

"It's all here," said milk-skinned Gao Zhenning cheerfully, "Shouldn't our IG get involved in the S competition on our site?"

TheShy, Ning, Rookie, West, Baolan and substitute Kid were all present, and they chatted with players they knew well in twos and threes.

TheShy looked at Lin Ran baring his teeth and showing a weird smile, the normally docile broiler was being led to swear by Jack.

"Then I'm in the grass..."

Baolan didn't seem to have had breakfast, and was still pestering the child to make noodles for him.

It seems that the breath of life is very strong.

Another mysterious team is a motley crew.

TOP top laner zoom, SNG top laner Langxing, LGD jungler eimy, SNG jungler H4cker, TOP mid laner knight, JDG mid laner doinb, OMG shooter Sima old thief, EDG shooter iboy, EDG support meiko, LGD support Hirano Aya.

There are two people in each position, a total of 10 players, and they are considered to be strong players in the LPL alone.

"Zhuo Ding, is this the surprise you mentioned?" Lin Ran remembered the WeChat message sent by Huang Jin's left hand last night.

Zhuo Ding subconsciously scratched the back of his head, "I didn't know about it at first, but yesterday afternoon, the team suddenly found me and zoom, saying that they wanted to form an S7 training team."

The sparring team, as the name suggests, is a sparring team, playing the role of imaginary enemies, etc., to test tactics and improve the abilities of the players participating in the main match.

Lin Ran had heard about this matter before, and he thought it would be good to find a few players, but he didn't expect that LPL would make a big deal out of it.

The number of players in the sparring team almost caught up with the three conscript teams.

"How is it?" Bobby came late, and he seemed to be in a good mood with a smile on his face. "This is the experience I learned from the Intercontinental Competition."

"Everyone is a team in the LPL division. Our goal for this global final is the same - to keep the Summoner Trophy in the LPL!"

"The level of the training team is high, so your training quality will be much higher, and the team's performance will naturally be guaranteed!"
