What is a wandering mid laner?

Lin Ran took a taxi straight to the airport to meet his teammates, and landed at Qingdao Liuting International Airport in two hours.

They first took the bus provided by Tengjing to the hotel near the venue. The coaching staff members Hongmi and Gouba will also fly to Qingdao from their respective hometowns today, but the time will be later.

It wasn't too early for YM to arrive in Qingdao. As the seed team of the S7 World Championship, they secured the top 8 places ahead of time, and the remaining teams kicked off the German Cup a week ago.

The training room has been set up in advance, Lin Ran knows that this offseason is a bit ruthless, and the rehabilitation training is quite serious.

In Summoner's Canyon, Dalong once again uttered a tragic wail, and the opposite ID was EDG Meiko's assistant Tianye played GG on the public screen.

Lin Ran alt+F4 exits the game at light speed. This afternoon, he had 2 wins and 1 loss in the training match with EDG, barely regaining his form.

He just stretched his waist and wanted to have another date with EDG during dinner, when Guo Hao opened the door and walked in, clapping his hands to signal everyone to stop first.

"Just now, I picked up our coaching staff members from the airport..." Guo Hao smiled all over his face, "Let's get to know each other first."

He took a step back to the side, and Redmi, who was wearing a woolen coat and a brown scarf, and Gou Ba, who was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, appeared in front of them.

"Ni Meng howling, mud cute howling..." Hongmi greeted everyone in Mandarin with an accent heavier than Jin Gong.

Gou Ba on the side also spoke with a bit of a crooked tone.

"It's okay," Lin Ran turned his head and muttered to Shiba Inu, "It's much easier to understand than Zhuo Ding."

Jack immediately crooked his mouth into a smile, which couldn't be said to be exactly the same as the famous Shiba Inu expression pack, but it could only be said to be exactly the same.

"Don't do it, Zhuo Ding has just returned from Afghanistan, so it's only reasonable that he can't speak Chinese well."

Hongmi shook hands with Jin Gong and Xiaotian one by one to show friendship, and when it was Lin Ran's turn, he strode forward, even smiling more sincerely.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time. We wanted to cooperate last year, but unfortunately we didn't find a suitable opportunity." Lin Ran shook hands with Hongmi.

Redmi was very enthusiastic towards him, and responded in simple English: "I can come to YM because you are here."

Lin Ran couldn't help shaking when he saw the fiery breath coming from Hongmi's wide palm.

In addition, Guo Hao also found a three-player player from the top of the canyon to act as an interpreter.

The process was very simple. The club issued a recruitment notice, and then let the staff wander around with their respective canyon accounts. The prefixes of the names were surprisingly consistent: YM recruited Korean translators.

After all, the field of League of Legends competitions has a certain degree of professionalism, and the translators recruited must have certain league knowledge and common sense, otherwise many terms and techniques and tactics cannot be conveyed properly.

"My surname is Jiang, Jiang Chenglu." The boy looked very lively, and he had two canine teeth when he smiled, "YM is a ten-year-old fan."

Several members of YM were stunned when they heard this name.

"Is that what TheShy's name is..." Lin Ran murmured and asked Jin Gong, and got an affirmative answer from the Xiba people.

"I know, we have the same pronunciation and different words," Jiang Chenglu replied with a smile, "When I was still studying in Korea this summer, they called me Little TheShy."

"Chinese?" Lin Ran felt that this person's accent was similar to that of WE's translator, Zhao Junri.

"Pure Chinese!" Jiang Chenglu patted his chest, "Korean!"

Then he posted it again, "Brother Ran, can I take a photo with you when the working hours are over?"

"Okay, no problem." Lin Ran's first impression of him was very good. Although the game level of this translation is not as good as TheShy's, the Chinese level is much better.

Analyst Gouba has a reserved and silent personality. He took off his coat and started to work, preparing to collect all the data of the German Cup for the first week. His quick hands and skillful skills make him look like an old hand.

After the routine greetings, Hongmi also took off the scarf, took a glass of ice water from Guo Hao, and sat on the coach's seat in the center of the training room.

"Let's talk about the scene before the start of the spring game," Hongmi first downloaded the videos of the previous three training games today, and Jiang Chenglu was conscientiously translating, "The German Cup is a small game for us, so we The first goal is to adapt the adaptation version."

"This version does not just refer to one or two small versions, but the entire S8 environment."

"So I set the goal very low in this competition." Hongmi took out the USB flash drive and copied the files he brought, "You can win a BO3."

"Because we have guaranteed a place in the quarter-finals, that is to say...it will be considered a success if we reach the quarter-finals."

Hongmi's language was amazing, and everyone was completely confused.

"Ah, here," Jack said with a blank face, "Aren't the semi-finals going to be played casually? Our configuration..."

Redmi ignored Shiba Inu, he opened the rune system chart updated by the fist.

"This is the change after the recasting of the S8 rune system," the Redmi mouse shook on the screen, through the large monitor of the head coach's computer, everyone in the training room can see his operation, "Everyone should be very clear now Case."

"The initial damage of heroes has been greatly increased, and except for some characters who can bring [Resolute], everyone's frankness has dropped a lot."

"To put it simply, Riot is encouraging everyone to engage in online confrontation," Hongmi said, and all the players present knew it well. Obviously not going to change it back in the MSI version."

Lin Ran held a cup of hot tea and listened closely, letting the goji berries float quietly on the water.

The first impression that Redmi gave him was different from Hanyi and White Crescent.

"That is to say, we will use this rune system for at least one year, and there will be no large-scale changes until the S8 World Championship."

"In this case, the role of junglers in the early stage will be infinitely improved, because the high frequency of blood changes will greatly increase your chances of Gank," Hongmi said, looking straight at Suantouba. Before returning to the city once, everyone's defense equipment has not been updated, this is the best time to Gank."

Suantou Wangba blinked his eyes, as if he had realized something.

"In the professional arena, the jungler's ability to do things in the early stage is not restricted by the hero, and it is also important to the three-lane power." Hongmi took a sip of ice water, "Therefore, the keynote of Riot next year must be to continue to strengthen the jungler to determine the early stage of the game. The ability to use this will implicate three lines in the battle for line rights."

Jack raised his hand and asked, "Isn't this still an enhancement for us? Xiaotian is very good at playing rhythm junglers. We also have a fierce man in the middle, and the line right is absolutely guaranteed."

Hongmi adjusted the height of the chair, folded her hands together, and looked at the players she will coach next year.

"It looks like this on the surface," he pondered for two seconds, "but it's actually a weakening of YM."

Everyone in the training room was lost in thought.

Redmi is a man of swift action and doesn't try to be too tight-lipped, "Because YM's previous style of play is that the mid laner drives the jungler."

"Most of the time, Ran will actively look for opportunities, break through the middle or lead people to grab the side lanes and wild areas."

"Xiaotian follows behind. If he chooses a control-type hero in the middle, he will supplement the damage; if he chooses a damage-type hero in the middle lane, he will supplement the control."

The voice of Hongmi who is in the working state is very serious, but Jiang Chenglu's Northeast accent sounds quite funny, like a joke.

"But this new version of the rune has affected the mid-lane to a certain extent."

"Most mid-lane heroes do not have recovery skills. The dominant talent [Taste of Blood] provides recovery on the surface, but in fact it still encourages heroes to exchange blood—because this talent can only be triggered by touching the opponent. In many cases Even the other party can touch you."

Redmi's statement is well-founded. He listed the specific value of the taste of blood. Based on the level, it provides 18-35 (+0.2 extra AD+0.1 ability power) recovery amount. Pain.

"This amount of recovery is simply not enough to withstand frequent blood changes and excessive damage," Hongmi continued to talk along his own train of thought, "This will cause a problem."

"The state of the middle lane will not remain healthy forever. Even if you find a chance to kill your opponent, there is a high probability that you will have residual blood left."

Lin Ran agrees with Hongmi's statement. The standard he refers to must be the top mid laner in the top team, opponents like BDD and Faker.

Naturally, the Caibi team was out of their consideration and would not pose any threat to YM at all.

Lin Ran didn't get much advantage when dealing with these two top mid laners. Now that the damage is too high and the mid laner is too fragile, even if he wins or gets a solo kill, his state will not be very good. healthy.

"Once the mid laner becomes residual blood, his roaming ability will be greatly limited," Hongmi said, "Lin Ran, you need to be more cautious in your roaming choices in the new season, as there won't be as many opportunities as in the previous two years. "

Lin Ran nodded and took a sip of hot tea, "Red rice, what do you mean, in the new season, due to rune damage and the brittleness of the heroes themselves, the roaming ability of the mid laner will inevitably decrease, and it will be difficult for the jungler to recover in the early and mid-term?" Relying on the mid laner to create rhythm in the whole map, Xiaoyan has to rely on himself."

"The rhythm of the whole game changed from the original mid laner driving the jungler to the jungler driving the mid laner?"

Hongmi gave her an appreciative look.

"That's right, that's it. No matter how the small version changes next year, the final general direction must be like this. This is the change brought about by the rune system."

"I set the goal so low this time in the German Cup, just to let the team try to transform, embrace and adapt to the version, and it will always be the easiest way to win the game."

As soon as he took office, he wanted to change YM's long-standing style of play, and the players in the training room looked at each other in blank dismay.

Is it possible that the extensive and profound Korean culture is also emerging as the new official's three fires?

Redmi ignored them, and opened the video of the two rounds that had just been downloaded, "Let's watch your training match just now..."

The review of the new coach is very labor-intensive. Redmi is a detail control, with some common problems of Korean operation, and wants to keep everything under his perfect control.

As a result, Lin Ran's head hurts.

As a team commander, he had to pay attention to too many things. Red rice had very strict requirements for the three-way pawn line and the wild area.

After dinner in the evening, YM played three more training matches with IG under the supervision of Redmi. This time, I tried to start with Xiaoguan as the main rhythm, but the tactical style changed suddenly, and I really didn’t adapt to it. 1 win 2 Lost to IG who just owned Sima Old Thief.

The replay ended at nine o'clock in the evening. Considering that the players had just arrived in Qingdao after a long journey today, Redmi did not insist on the amount of Rank, and one person could sleep after playing 4 games.

Lin Ran's speed is fast. Qingdao is very close to South Korea. The physical delay of connecting to Hanbok is not high. With the help of the accelerator, the delay is nearly 20% lower than that of Shanghai.

The improvement in operation brought about by low latency allowed him to easily win 4 consecutive victories, and he was lying on the bed after washing up in the early morning, ready to go to bed early to recharge his batteries.

Connecting to a video call before going to bed, Lin Ran saw Su Cheng sitting at the desk writing hard.

"Soon, right away..." She finished the exercises, checked the steps with reference to the answers at the back, and closed the book with a relaxed smile on her face.

"Working with the new coaching staff on the first day, how do you feel?" Su Cheng took a box of yogurt from the side, poked the straw in and took a sip.

Lin Ran turned over, "How should I put it... Hongmi gives me the feeling that it is better than the previous two coaches. Although some opinions are too advanced and have not been confirmed by the facts, the facts presented are well-founded. Very convincing."

"Gou Ba is also very efficient. With the cooperation of the two of them, YM will take off again." Lin Ran was a little happy when he said this.

"Oh, you forgot about us so quickly?" Su Cheng felt a little sour in her heart, "Brother, did I make you dissatisfied?"

"No, no," Lin Ran quickly denied and changed the subject, "The official blog will post your video later, shall we watch it together?"

"Huh? I don't know." Su Cheng moved the laptop aside and opened the Weibo web page.

She doesn't have this software on her mobile phone, and in her opinion, Weibo is still a mess, at least the latter can still speak with facts when discussing LOL, while the former's cloud is outrageous, and the only thing missing is that the big lady is here.

Opening the YM official blog, the latest Weibo was about her, and it was posted on time at 0:0.

"Farewell video, I almost forgot there was this routine."

Every time someone in the training department of the club leaves, each team will hold its own farewell ceremony. YM's practice is to use the original material to cut a video.

Previously, when White Crescent and Prophet left the team, YM official blogs were posted, so it was a good time to get together and leave.

Su Cheng clicked on the play button, and stretched out her hand to tear off the head of the ball, and the slightly curly black hair fell down to cover the back of her neck.

Lin Ran also focused on Su Cheng's laptop.

The scene switched, in a not-so-spacious lounge, the appearance of Han Yi and Shi Senming and the unique image of the summoner trophy on the e-sports chair brought Lin Ran back to the S6 global finals in an instant.

"Their eye position time is considered good, because the first person inserts the accessory eye in about 40 seconds, and the cooling time will be improved at about 3 minutes and 10 seconds. At this time, the second person who inserts the eye in 2 minutes and 10 seconds The accessory eye just disappeared..."

A crisp voice sounded, Su Cheng, who had just stepped into the university at that time, participated in the team work remotely. She was still childish, her eyes were clear and bright, and her words were sonorous and powerful.

"Ah...is that the ward for ROX?" Su Cheng in front of the computer screen sighed, "Who was shooting at that time? Why didn't I know?"

"I remember it was a village." Lin Ran also kind of missed YM who was the dark horse at that time, "He was good at taking sneak shots, squatting there like an invisible man, you can't notice him at all, I have A lot of Jack's black photos are from Yicun."

"Jack's black photo?" Su Cheng's eyes lit up, "Give me Kangkang!"

She kept a black photo of Jack picking his nose in imitation of Lee Sang-hyuk, and a photo of edema from just waking up, when the Shiba Inu looked like a steamed bun.

At this time, the camera in the video has been switched. Looking at the team uniform style and personnel configuration, Lin Ran recognized the 2017 summer game at a glance.

"Nosuke's time to return to the city is staggered. Once the first round of vision arranged by Xiaotian is emptied, the two auxiliary real eyes can continue to control the map.

At this time, there is a high probability that the opponent does not have dual scanning, and the number of real eyes cannot compete with yours. In this way, the vision of the entire canyon vanguard is all ours..."

Compared with the previous video, Su Cheng's dress is much more stable at this time, and his eyes are slightly restrained and calm.

Just standing in front of the whiteboard in Summoner's Canyon, she was still in high spirits.

Su Cheng, who was still joking with Lin Ran just now, looked at the self in the video half a year ago, suppressed her smile and fell into speechless silence.

"MVP likes to change lanes frequently when playing in a disadvantaged game. By actively disrupting the rhythm of the army line and dislocation development, he can make up for the disadvantages of his lineup and laning. For example, this game against Dragon Ball..."

In the intercontinental competition, she looked at the more than [-] players from the four teams in the audience, and told the truth about the data she had sorted out.

Except for the IG analyst who doesn't know anything and can only order takeout, Su Cheng also has 1/3 credit for the pre-match data analysis and sorting work.

After all, this was to be shown to all viewers, and the content of Su Cheng's work was critical to the team's tactics, so he could only pick out some less important outdated content and edit it out.

Then the video quickly flashed one after another, from S6 to S7, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the years have changed, and the years have changed. She still stands in front of the whiteboard in Summoner Canyon, her eyes are firm and intelligent, just as she resolutely stepped into the data analyst at the beginning as in the field.

In front of the computer, Su Cheng's Adam's apple rolled slightly, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the screen.

The video was finally fixed at the 2017 League of Legends Annual Awards Ceremony.

Wearing a light gray suit and skirt, I held the best analyst trophy in my hand, and looked at the contestants and audience with a smile on my face.

The black and red symbolizing YM emerged on the edge of the video, and the elegant cursive characters were slowly outlined——

Even if we get together sometimes, I hope there will be a time later.

Goodbye, YM. Orange.

Su Cheng's mood was visibly depressed.

She looked at the group chat of the YM training department on her phone, and rubbed her fingers subconsciously.
