What is a wandering mid laner?

"A home field requires home field advantage. You are not fighting alone. As long as there is a need, I will do my best to help!"

Bobby spoke forcefully, and this time he was no longer as cautious as he was when he went to the United States last year.

The team under his command won the global finals and the mid-season championship in a row, and defeated the LCK head-on twice. Bobby is now full of confidence.

"Everyone gather in the middle, let's take a picture before we leave!"

Under Bobby's call, dozens of contestants lined up in two rows.

"Three two one..." The cameraman Yicun pressed the shutter button.

"We must win!" Everyone shouted outside the empty airport.

Half an hour later, everyone boarded the plane one by one, and the destination was Wuhan Tianhe International Airport!

Chapter 328: The lottery is finalized, and the heroes compete!

It was two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Wuhan, and as soon as we got out of the airport, we could feel the billowing heat waves blowing towards our face.

The climate difference between here and Shanghai is quite obvious. Even though it was mid-September, the temperature in the afternoon remained above 9°C, and there was a lingering heat in the air.

While Lin Ran was holding on to the suitcase and waiting for others, many young people gathered around him, and some of them even raised their mobile phones to secretly take pictures of him.

He is very distressed.

Ever since he became famous, he couldn't tell the reason why these passers-by secretly took pictures of him.

Is it because he recognized his identity, or did he simply think that he was too handsome?

When Lin Ran was struggling between the two answers, the three teams plus the sparring team and Riot staff gathered together.

It's hard not to be recognized now.

Dozens of people gathered together and some of them were wearing team uniforms. TheShy pulled classic slippers with one hand in his pocket and looked tall and cool, and his black-rimmed glasses made it easy for others to recognize him at a glance.

The spectators who followed the league matches all took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and some young people came up to sign and take photos.

The whole team was dragged down.

"I said it's better for everyone to go separately, but you all have to get together..." Guo Hao sighed.

Su Xiaoluo on the side supported the same style of black-rimmed glasses, "It's really not so eye-catching when you walk away."

The leader of WE, Xiaoshou, also nodded in agreement, and Bobby showed embarrassment.

He originally thought that it would be more imposing and save trouble for the three teams to travel together, but he ignored the popularity of these star players.

More importantly, there is no harm without contrast.

The three teams that originally set out for S7 were all very popular players, and this year IG has attracted a lot of fans by virtue of the bloody level and duel style of a big fight. The remaining 10 players in the sparring team are also in their respective positions The leader, even the wild king Eimy has many fans.

With such a backdrop, the management of the three teams and Bobby's side seemed empty and no one cared about them.

However, Guo Hao, Xiaoshou and Bobby felt a little embarrassed, while Su Xiaoluo breathed a sigh of relief.

The management of the e-sports club is mostly not well-received in the eyes of the fans. Once something happens, they will decisively fast-forward and blame them. However, there are not many League of Legends e-sports whose reputation reaches Su Xiaoluo's level. personal.

Back then, IG missed Uzi, another top-ranking ADC in LPL after Dabu Liucha, because they didn’t reimburse air tickets. In this respect, RNG was much better.

Furthermore, the retirement of the shadow of the ancient IG member and the 0th generation of the back-to-back man, the "retirement ceremony as an LPL player" promised by Su Xiaoluo failed to be realized in the end. It can be seen that the shadow really disappeared like a shadow in the end. Hearing that, he quietly left the professional arena.

Other matters such as Weibo office and other matters also made many people have a very bad impression of this manager. Su Xiaoluo himself is not a village network, so he naturally knows how the public opinion evaluates him, so unlike the other two managers, he can't wait to Fans treat themselves as invisible people.

It took nearly half an hour for a group of star players to barely escape, boarded three buses painted with LPL and fist logos, and went straight from Tianhe Airport to their accommodation - Liantou Peninsula Hotel.

The distance between the two places is nearly 50 kilometers, and it will take about an hour to drive by bus. Lin Ran took out an eye mask from his Disney blue schoolbag, covered his eyes, and adjusted the seat position to make himself more comfortable.

The week-long filming task made it hard for him who was already full of energy. In the next half month, Lin Ran will be nervously preparing for the World Championships. Now he will not miss any chance to rest.

There was no sound in the bus, and Lin Ran soon fell asleep.

When he woke up again and took off his blindfold, in addition to the brilliant afternoon sun in Wuhan, there was also an unusually magnificent long ring-shaped building.

The trees are lush and lush, and the contestants can feel the greenery through the windows. The Ring Hotel is backed by the shoreline of Hougong Lake and faces the Yangtze River. The surrounding area is so open that there are no tall buildings blocking it.

Looking at the past, you can have a panoramic view of the lake and river bank.

Quite a few contestants were full of admiration while sitting on the bus. They did not expect that the hotel they settled in would be so luxurious.

"Are you spending all your money?" Lin Ran looked at Wen Sen.

"It's the first time it's held in China, and everyone attaches great importance to it. The upper management helped us connect with the local area, booked a room on the 5th floor of this five-star state-owned hotel, and gave a lot of discounts," Vincent said symbolically. A few words of humility, "Of course we still have enough influence to start the brand of e-sports."

"There will be a big move in two days. This year's move is not just as simple as booking a hotel." Vincent said mysteriously, saying "big move" like a CSGO player.

Everyone got off the bus, carried their suitcases and entered the magnificent and luxuriously decorated hotel lobby.

"In order to facilitate the training, our three teams and the training team are all on the first floor. It is best for everyone to allocate rooms based on the club." Wen Sen rushed back from the front desk, and the two staff members beside him took the players' ID cards When I went back, I also handed over the room card.

A group of people swiped their room cards and pressed the elevator to go straight to the 7th floor. This is the benefit of being the host, and Vincent directly cut off this lucky number.

"Our colleagues have arranged for the computer in the training room two days ago..." Wen Sen led them forward, "You can use it directly after connecting the peripherals."

Although everyone is a representative team of the LPL division, the global finals are played by clubs after all, so the training rooms of the three teams are not put together like the previous intercontinental competitions.

As usual, Lin Ran shared the same room with Xiaotian. The two put the suitcase in the hotel bedroom, and left immediately before packing it up, rushing to the training room on the floor.

It is said to be a training room, but it is actually transformed from a suite. Two rows of computers occupy both sides of the living room, and the Summoner's Canyon whiteboard is placed in the middle area.

Lin Ran stepped forward to check the computer. The mainframe and display accessories were equipped according to Riot's competition standards. It was no different from before. Players can use the peripherals after connecting them.

A group of people from YM fixed their positions and sat down to start a battle with the other two brother teams.

Although there are many people in the sparring team, the individual strength and the degree of running-in are also divided into different grades. The most suitable team training target is the IG team. All their members came to Wuhan in original clothes, and the intensity of the training match can be imagined.

The coaches of the three clubs are all robbing the opportunity to practice with IG, wishing to have a golden house to hide the beauty, and in the end Bobby has to come forward and draw down the rules.

"Each team can play up to three training games with IG every day, and the rest of the time you have to find other members of the sparring team to practice laning and so on..."

But RNG coach Firefox and WE coach Hongmi are very dissatisfied with this, 3 games are too little for them.

Guo Hao, relying on his skillful skills, took the opportunity to pull away IG coach Hanyi when mediating the conflict between the coaches of the two teams. With his sharp tongue, he successfully got his old partner to agree to play two training matches with YM first.

Since S7 is held in China, Riot China takes the Canyon Top region as the only designated training server for professional players as a matter of course.

The original account of the top of the canyon of the LPL players can not be used, but unified login to the official super account with adjusted hidden points.

Lin Ran flicked through the mailbox of his mobile phone, looked through the emails sent by the Riot staff, and successfully found the account password in it.

Because Fist needs to refresh coupons and gold coins, a super account needs to be logged in twice. Lin Ran glanced at the account with a string of garbled IDs, and decisively logged out one more time. His brain was running fast, thinking about what to get for the new ID. Better.

"How about my ID?" Suantou Wangba looked at the screen complacently.

Lin Ran turned his head to look - the wonderful frog seed that can whip the cane.

"Are you addicted to watching Pokémon?" Jack wanted to use his YukiJudai (Youcheng Tendai) in Hanbok as an ID, but when he typed it, he found that the ID had already been registered for use, so he could only give up angrily.

"Hurry up, are we still teammates?" Xiao Guan insisted on asking the other six people to have similar IDs.

Lin Ran and the others couldn't hold him back, since he was just an ID anyway, so he simply followed Xiaoyan's temperament.

Jack quickly snatched the Squirrel away, and Lin Ran could only make another Pokémon.

In the end, Jin Gong successfully changed to the ID of the same series with the help of Xiaogan, and the seven members of YM were all neatly matched.

Jin Gong: Geng Gui who knows the shadow ball

Xiaotian: The wonderful frog seed that can whip the cane

Lin Ran: The Koga Ninja Frog with Water Cannon

Jack: The Squirrel Wagging Tail

Lin Weixiang: The King Carp Who Can Splash and Jump

Liu Qingsong: A Cracked Seat Who Can Slash in the Air

Prophet: The fast dragon that will reverse scale

Log in to the account again to refresh the ID and gold coupons, a few people bought skins and runes with ease, opened a custom room, and pulled in the IG people who just went online.

Lin Ran typed on the keyboard, 【You guys work harder, do whatever you want. 】

Except for TheShy, who can't understand Chinese, the other 4 people on IG all issued question marks.

【Especially the top laner, please make TheShy more serious. 】Lin Ran continued typing to communicate with them.

YM wants to engage in targeted training today.

White Crescent has been communicating with Su Cheng and Doom for the past two days, and they can vaguely see the standard routine of this version.

Although the status of the bot lane has been rapidly elevated after the popularity of the incense burner soft assistant, it does not mean that the bot lane duo will dominate the battle from beginning to end.

The assistant does not buy eyeballs in the early stage, the ADC goes out with the shield of the holy object...all the measures are to let the soft assistant make the [blazing incense burner] in advance.

This situation requires Ruanfu not to wander freely during the laning period, and they must stay online to eat up the gold coins provided by [Ancient Coin] and [Holy Object Shield], two salary equipment that can only function with the help of soldiers.

Therefore, in the version of the incense burner, before the assistant made [Blazing Incense Burner], the entire game was actually completely controlled by Naka Ueno.

However, due to the low efficiency of the soft assistant teaming up with the jungler Gank, there will be more linkage between the jungler and the upper and middle single lanes in the early stages of the professional arena. For them, the bottom lane duo is mainly based on protection.

After giving priority to liberating the top and mid laners, they can use their leading level and economy to cooperate with the jungler to double-team the opponent's bottom lane.

To put it simply, there were Thresh, Titan, female tank... No, it should be called Leona, the Goddess of Dawn. After such hard support was defeated by soft support, the jungle route became relatively monotonous.

Originally, the jungler can cooperate with the hard support controlled by the bottom lane to kill, first release the support and then use the wild support linkage to walk to deal with the other two single lanes, or invade the wild area to restrict the opponent's jungler.

But now more than half of this road is blocked. It is not impossible for the jungler to open the situation from the bottom lane, but the risks and benefits of this approach are no longer directly proportional.

In addition to the reduction in the number of auxiliary control skills in the bottom lane, which will cause trouble for the jungler to catch, the current summoner skill combination of healing + barrier in the bottom lane duo is also very good in life preservation.

Another key point is the change of strong jungle heroes. Carnivorous characters like blind monk are gradually disappearing, while herbivorous characters like pig girl are on the rise. Herbivorous heroes are weaker in confrontation and lower in damage in the early stage. Bot lane combos with salary items are more difficult to get kills.

In the early stage, most of the routes around the bottom lane were blocked, and the junglers could only attack around the top and middle lanes.

In this case, the requirements for the linkage between the middle and upper lanes and the jungle have become higher, which poses new challenges to YM.

There is no problem with the cooperation between mid laner Lin Ran and Xiao Guan. They proved last year that they can not lose against the world's top mid-jungle combination such as SKT Stupid + faker.

The hidden danger lies in the Ueno linkage.

In Xiaoyan’s jungle route planning map, he has the lowest affinity rate with top laner Jin Gong—as mentioned before, the affinity rate refers to the time when the heroes in the two positions of the same team are relatively close to each other and account for the overall game proportion of time.

In layman's terms, a low Ueno affinity rate means that the jungler rarely stays near the top laner.

Originally, this low statistic didn’t affect anything. YM put it on the road, and the Xiba people relied on the gold coins issued by other road towers and their own growth-enhancing ability, and the economy was still a bit higher than the normal top order.

But in the current version of the incense burner, Xiaotian and Jin Gong must adapt to each other's existence.

From the perspective of the YM coaching staff, relying solely on Lin Ran and Xiaotian's mid-field linkage in the early stage, their trip to the World Championship will definitely not go smoothly.

Because whether it is from BP or from the detailed tactical handling in the game, a single middle-field linkage is easy to be targeted.

Last year, YM won the championship by playing five rounds with ROX and SKT, two of the world's top teams, by relying on the combination of middle and wild + four packs.

Rich tactical reserves are the qualities that top teams must possess, and adapting to the version is even more necessary.

The teams that can enter the global finals have more or less two brushes. As long as they dare to fight against the version, the world-class strong teams can also turn into a fishy team in a blink of an eye. The optimistic team of S5 and the EDG of S6 have fully proved this point .

Compared with RNG coach Firefox, White Crescent's biggest advantage is that his head is not so strong, which is also his foothold in YM.

Ueno linkage must be practiced. It is definitely a good choice to use IG as a sharpening stone. IG is currently focusing on Ueno and Ueno. To be honest, they are very suitable for the early rhythm of this year's World Championship.

In addition to Ue Nakano, the support Baolan also has a unique understanding of Gou, which just meets the support requirements of this version-just don't die.

If Eddie was replaced, Gouzi might really be able to take off in Wuhu.

The problem lies with the ADC, which has historically been IG's weak point.

West's performance in the regular season was quite satisfactory, and he even competed with Yuan Shao for the number one ADC in IG team history. triggered.

Although West's performance in the key rounds was not as catastrophic as the old predecessor's face-on-the-grass send-off, it's hard to call it quite satisfactory. The famous scene of a big mouth flashing a spray and being counter-killed is still being sung in the forums, and it is still being sung Crowned with the title of Western Emperor.

However, it has nothing to do with YM how the Western Emperor is playing now. Lin Ran and other players are practicing the Ueno-Wilder linkage in the early stage. This includes the resistance to pressure after picking a weak combination, and how to build an advantage after getting a strong combination. .

This practice lasted until 7 o'clock in the evening, and Hongmi and Firefox almost smashed the door and robbed people.

Guo Hao resolutely gave the IG people to the other two to enjoy. Redmi and Firefox argued endlessly about who IG would serve first, and Broiler ran away first under the leadership of Vincent.

Redmi muttered twice in Korean, and Jun Ri, the WE interpreter, asked the Riot staff beside him with a northeast accent, "What's going on?"

"Lottery, Rookie is the guest of the lottery tonight." The female staff member with long hair replied.

Firefox nodded clearly. These days he was only busy with preparations for the battle, and he had no impression of the guests at all.

"Axi..." Hongmi was furious when he heard the news, and he lost the ownership of the broiler chicken for another two or three hours.
